Chapter 369
The date of the rural test results for Beijing this year is on the last day of August.
On this day, the Nanhou Mansion once again became the center of discussion on the streets and alleys of the capital.
As the Zhennan Marquis of Wuhou of Dayu, the Zhennan Marquis' Mansion not only produced two top scholars, father and son, in the fifteen years, but also produced two more juren in the provincial examination this year.
That’s right, Lin Hongxuan and Lin Hongyu both got the reputation of being a Juren in high school.
The difference is that Lin Hongxuan is on the low-altitude list, while Lin Hongyu got the eighth best score.
Zhennan Hou Mansion must hold a celebration banquet for the two, and one after another was a steady stream of people coming to the door to talk to the media.
When Cai was visiting Lin Hongfei for the marriage, Tang started to visit Lin Hongxuan, who was only sixteen years old at the time, but he was about to meet and did not make a marriage.
This is naturally because Tang’s vision is high, and Lin Hongxuan is not concerned about it.
Lin Hongxuan is now nineteen years old. Although it’s nothing if a man gets married later, he can’t delay it until too late.
In the past, I could still use the provincial examination as an excuse, but now I have passed the provincial examination. With Lin Hongxuan's level, the possibility of winning the exam next year is almost zero.
Not to mention that Tang's family would not allow Lin Hongxuan to use the imperial examination as an excuse to delay, even Lin Hongxuan himself would not have the same face to take the imperial examination out as a shield.
Being a matchmaker is full of vision, and one can see the anxiousness in Tang's eyes at a glance, so the nineteen-year-old Lin Hongxuan became the first hot commodity to bear.
The 18-year-old Lin Hongyu is naturally a good son-in-law who is fighting for by all parties. However, when the first batch of matchmakers came to the house, Lin Hongyu spoke out and never discussed his relatives if he failed to pass the Jinshi. He really blocked many gazes.
However, Lin Hongyu's eighth place in the provincial examination, coupled with the top scholar's father and brother in front, made the second wife of Zhennan Hou Mansion too dazzling. Even if Lin Hongyu made a harsh statement, the eyes of all parties were still extremely eager.
Lin Hongyu doesn't discuss kinship for the time being. He is still two twelve or thirteen-year-old sisters?
Suddenly, Lin Wan felt more and more eyes falling on her, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, and even felt like a piece of fragrant meat placed in front of a hungry wolf.
Now the mistress of the second wife is An Huijuan. As the eldest sister-in-law, she can find an excuse to ignore the matchmaker who came to her house, but as her grandmother, Cai is difficult to avoid.
Cai was really tired and annoyed when he was socializing for several days, but he couldn't really let go.
Lin Wan saw it and felt ache in her heart. The Double Ninth Festival was over and there was nothing important in the city, so she found Lin Xiuwu to discuss her trip to Nanshan.
These days welcoming and seeing off, Lin Xiuwu was a little impatient. Besides, he hadn't gone to Nanshan for a month, so the water diversion sketch designed by the Yang family should be almost visible to people, so he nodded.
However, when Lin Wan proposed to bring Cai with her, Lin Xiuwu hesitated a little.
He hasn't told his wife that he could take a look at the hot spring water down the mountain, just to make the decision and give everyone a surprise after it is settled.
He didn't want to bring Cai with him, but he was just worried that like last time, he would bring Cai with him, and a large group of people.
Because the Royal Hot Spring Villa was built on the other side of Nanshan, the cars and people were very messy.
A few days ago, news came, and someone even tried to flip into the winery.
Although the news increased the escort force of Zhuangzi and Jiufang, and the emperor specially dispatched troops from Xiying to strengthen the protection of the Nanshan area, because the project was too large and complicated, it was still impossible to fundamentally change the chaos.
In this situation, even if the guards of the Nanhou Mansion are strong, he would really not dare to let Lin Xiuwu take a group of old and young to the grape farm. If he is neglected, he will feel sorry for anyone who is hurt.
After listening to Lin Xiuwu's explanation, Lin Wan was naturally a little embarrassed, but this was not something that could not be solved.
After some discussion, we finally reached an agreement with Lin Xiuwu, and only took Cai family with us, so that at least the Cai family could relax for a few days, so that the enthusiasm for saying goodbye to the door was dissipated.
"Don't take Sister Yuan? Can your second sister-in-law control her?" It was not until the carriage left the city that Cai's destination was the grape farm in the southern suburbs. He instantly understood Lin Wan's intention. He was very comfortable in his heart, but he was worried about Lin Yuan.
Lin Wan smiled and said, "Don't worry, grandmother, the second sister-in-law can't cure it. Isn't there still Xiao An'an? Besides, the seventh sister has been sleeping in Zhuxuan for two nights in a row."
I don’t know how Xiao Anan did it. Although he is more than three years younger than Lin Yuan, he is still just a little carrot, but he can always treat Lin Yuan well.
Lin Yuan is six years old this year. This spring, she went to the mansion to hire a teacher for Lin Ye, who was in the big house. Cai made the decision to let Lin Yuan study and learn to read with her. Lin Yuan spent a lot less time with Lin Wan. Even if she didn't have to go to class, she was mostly with Xiao Anan. She only met Lin Wan at night, and she had to listen to Lin Wan's stories almost every day before she could sleep.
In order to make Cai feel at ease and also herself, Lin Wan cooperated with An Huijuan and tried to let Lin Yuan stay overnight in Zhuxuan, but the result was not bad.
As Lin Xiuwu said, the originally quiet southern suburbs can now be described as the crowded and bustling crowds.
Because of the construction of the hot spring villa in Nanshan, Lin Wan only visited the village during the seasons when the bayberry is ripe and grapes are ripe. I remember that when I came to the grape house in summer, it was not so lively, and even the road to the mountain had not been repaired yet.
However, the spacious road was not coming for two months and it was built into the mountains. With ox carts of various materials, the carts were continuously heading towards the Nanshan Mountain. It was obvious that the Hot Spring Villa had been fully constructed.
Fortunately, the road to Nanshan Hot Spring Villa broke apart dozens of feet away from the grape house, so when I entered the grape house where Zhennan Hou Mansion, my ears became much quieter.
This time Lin Wan came over not only to pull Cai to relax, but mainly to bring the hot spring down the mountain, so she had to go to Nanshan to take a look.
Considering that Lin Xiuwu was older, Lin Wan waited until the next day before following Lin Xiuwu to the hot spring group in Nanshan.
The hot spring group had already pulled up the fence. Lin Xiuwu led Lin Wan without entering the fence, but led her to a workshop outside the fence.
In the workshop, Foreman Yang was holding the drawings to discuss something with someone. When he heard Lin Xiuwu's voice, he turned his head and saw Lin Wan following Lin Xiuwu. He didn't care about talking to the people around him and came up to him, saying, "Miss Wan, you are here!"
Lin Wan looked at Foreman Yang who was walking towards her in surprise.
What does it mean to be "come here"? Is there anything wrong with her being able to do it?
Foreman Yang's next words not only surprised Lin Wan, but also focused the eyes of the others in the workshop on Lin Wan: "When Miss Wan comes to pick up the spring, we can lay a pipe to draw water down the mountain based on the spring, so as to try to bring the hot spring water down the mountain before the heavy snow comes! By the way, Miss Wan has figured out where to lead the hot spring to?"
