Childhood Sweethearts of a Family: The Delicate Girl

Chapter 3

Standing on the left and the right are the two little dolls of Mrs. Zhu's wife, Fenyonghou Hou, who are the two direct children of Fenyonghou Qi Mingsheng and Zhu's family.The elder brother is named Qi Haoran; the younger is the younger sister named Qi Yingyu.

Mrs. Zhu herself was very beautiful. To be able to enter the palace as a female official next to the queen mother, she must first have a good appearance.Both Qi Haoran and Qi Yingyu have inherited the beauty of the Zhu family, and the little doll itself is very cute. The six-year-old Qi Haoran and the three-year-old Qi Yingyu standing together seem to be the best interpretation of the golden boy and jade girl.

Although this was the case, the praise of "good-looking" came out of Lin Yuan's mouth, which inevitably amused everyone.The atmosphere in the main hall of Ning Xinyuan, which was neither too cold nor too hot, suddenly became lively.

Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Qi chatted quite happily, and Mrs. Qi also took advantage of the opportunity to invite Mrs. Lin to take part in the flower appreciation party at Fenyonghou Mansion, and Mrs. Lin agreed with a smile.After the two made an appointment, Mrs. Qi excused that there was still something to do in the mansion, so she took her leave first and took her two children back to the mansion.

Lin Yuan saw that "Pretty" was about to leave, feeling reluctant and unwilling to make a fuss, so she could only watch helplessly as Qi Haoran and Qi Yingyu were taken away by Mrs. Zhu.When "Looking Good" really left, Lin Yuan became teary-eyed, causing Mrs. Wang to coax her with mouthfuls of "heart" and "baby", feeling extremely distressed.

After the guests left, soon Lin Hai, Wang's sister-in-law, younger brother and younger siblings, as well as nephews and nieces all came to Ningxinyuan, and got together to get together to catch up on the old days.

Two-year-old Lin Yuan didn't know what troubles were. When she saw her cousins, she was teased for a while, and soon became happy, completely forgetting the sad things just now.

The long-lost reunion was full of joy everywhere, and the main hall of Ning Xinyuan was filled with infinite laughter.

As early as when Lin Hai was in high school, the Lin family had set up a house in the capital.Mrs. Lin left, Lin Hai and others went back to their ancestral home to observe their filial piety. The house was still kept and not sold, only trusted servants were arranged to guard it carefully.

Now, Lin Hai has returned with his wife and children, so he doesn't have to worry about where he lives.Before Lin Hai and the others returned to Beijing, the servants had already cleaned the house thoroughly and packed everything that needed to be cleaned up.

Because Mrs. Wang was worried, she specially sent her mother-in-law to visit several times, until she was sure that her daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren would be able to move in directly when they came back.

Stayed in Yingwuhou's Mansion until after dinner, it seemed that he had just finished talking, but in a blink of an eye it was getting dark and it was getting late.In the reluctance of everyone in Yingwuhou Mansion, Lin Hai took his wife and children home.

Mrs. Wang thoughtfully dispatched a group of powerful servants from the Hou's mansion, and ordered her daughter and son-in-law to take them back and call them in a good name, "It's okay for you to be wronged, none of the grandchildren can be wronged."

Mrs. Lin pretended to be wronged, and repeatedly blamed Mrs. Wang for not caring about her at all, but she was very moved in her heart, she was not polite to her mother, and accepted the servants.

After playing around all day, the sleepy Lin Yuan fell asleep in the carriage.Lin Hai and Mrs. Lin gathered together and looked at their daughter's sweet sleeping face, and they both smiled.

Thinking of the scene where everyone rushed to hug Lin Yuan in Marquis Yingwu's Mansion, Lin Hai couldn't help but sigh with Wang: "Madam, Sister Yuan is very welcome when she first arrives!"

After Lin Hai was recalled to the capital, he was indeed promoted by His Majesty the Emperor.After Ding You was reactivated, he was assigned to do things under Liu Taishou. Now that he returned to the capital, Lin Hai was once again assigned to Liu Taishou's subordinates.It's just that Liu Taishou in the past is now Liu Shangshu of the household department, and Lin Hai's position is the servant of the household department.

In this dynasty, there were six departments of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers. The highest officer of each department was Shangshu, who was the third-rank official; among the six ministers, the minister of the minister was the assistant to the minister, and there was only one official, who was the fourth-rank official.In addition to assisting the ministers of the various ministries, the Minister of Shangshu is also the actual executor of various affairs, so he has great power in each ministry and is also a very important position.

Now that he was working under Liu Shangshu again, no matter whether the emperor did it on purpose or not, Lin Hai couldn't help feeling a word of fate.Liu Shangshu admired Lin Hai very much, and now that Lin Hai is working with him again, he is also very happy.The two who had worked together for three years and had a good time got together again to work together, which is also very tacit and harmonious.

After Lin Hai returned to Beijing, he didn't encounter any setbacks. On the contrary, because of Liu Shangshu's care and his good personality, he quickly established a good relationship with his colleagues.

With the help of many people, the Lin family quickly settled down in the capital.

A few days later, Mrs. Lin attended the flower appreciation party held by Zhu Bicong, Mrs. Yingwuhou's wife, in the Hou's mansion as scheduled.Most of the noble ladies in the capital were invited.

Mrs. Wang has been away from Beijing for many years, but just because she has become estranged from the noble ladies does not mean that she no longer knows each other.With the introduction of the hostess Zhu Bicong and her sister-in-law, younger siblings, and her husband Lin Hai's bright official career, the long-sleeved and good-looking ladies treated Mrs. Lin very kindly, and Wang soon became acquainted with everyone. .

The eldest son Lin Xuan is already 17 years old this year, and it is time to pay attention to the marriage.Mrs. Wang is not very familiar with the noble ladies in the capital, so she can only be more cautious.Marrying a good daughter-in-law must be very important.

Lin Xuan didn't seem to care much about his marriage. Wang didn't want to force him, so she asked him what he thought.After Lin Xuan made it clear that he had no intention of marrying a wife for the time being and that he was planning to take the exam first, Wang put the matter on hold for the time being.

Little did he know that Lin Xuan had delayed his marriage for three years.

In the first year, Lin Xuan said that he had to prepare for the provincial examination, he had to read books at ease, and had no time to take care of other things, so he delayed the year.However, he wasn't talking empty words, but actually passed the exam.

Mrs. Lin was so happy that she dragged out the matter of marriage and brought it up. Lin Xuan refused righteously, "Mother, I have passed the township test, and there is still time to pass the test."

However, her husband Lin Hai supported her eldest son. Mrs. Lin had no other choice, so she put the matter aside again, but she didn't know that her son had long been in collusion with his father.

Lin Xuan read books peacefully at home. In the spring of the next year, Lin Xuan took part in the examination again.When the news of being admitted was sent back to Lin's residence, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but smile.This time, Jinshi has also been selected. After the palace examination, his eldest son can seriously consider marriage, right?

In the same year, Lin Xuan took part in the palace examination, and had a great harvest—Master Lin Hailin had won the palace examination when he took part in the palace examination, and now his eldest son, Lin Xuan, is also a high school candidate.

Lin Xuan was only 19 years old when he was in high school, and entered the Hanlin Academy as an editor. Everyone said that he was better than his father, Nai Qing, and he was better than Lan, and he won a lot of praise.At the same time, matchmakers also came to talk about matchmaking.

Mrs. Lin saw that the girls from several families were pretty good, and after asking her husband's opinion, she went to ask her elder son's opinion very openly.However, Lin Xuan still refused, and continued to propose "discussion later" with Mrs. Lin.

Under Mrs. Lin's "forced questioning", Lin Xuan had no choice but to express his true thoughts - I don't have a girl I like yet, and I don't want to get married. I want to marry a girl I like and go home.

Mrs. Lin and her husband love each other and live a smooth life. Naturally, she hopes that her sons will also be sweet and loving after they marry their daughter-in-law, and the family will be harmonious and everything will be prosperous.

If the eldest son gave such a reason, Mrs. Lin would not be able to persecute him.Therefore, the third year soon passed.

The 15th year of Jiaqing.

Lin Xuan, the first young master of the Lin family, is in his weakest years and has not yet married; the second young master, Lin Ye, is in his 16th year, and has not yet married; the third young master, Lin Yi, is only [-] years old, and has not yet reached the age of marriage; His daughter, Lin Yuan, is five years old.

At the age of five, you can go to school and study in the academy.

On this day, the weather was sunny and the sky was as clear as blue. It happened to be the opening day of Nanxi Academy, the only girls' academy in the capital.

Although the general environment of this dynasty did not require women to study or not, some wealthy families were still willing or willing to let their daughters read and write.Nanxi Academy came into being.

Those who go to school in Nanxi Academy are noble ladies from the capital city. The academy sets up different classes according to different ages, and the teachers are all knowledgeable female teachers.

The environment of the academy is elegant and beautiful, which is very good. The study time is not very long every day, so I don't have to worry about my daughter getting tired.During her studies in the academy, her daughter played with noble ladies, so most of the rich and noble families were willing to send their daughters here.

Lin Yuan, who was already five years old, was sent to Nanxi Academy by her parents, and today was her first day of school.

The younger sister went to school on the first day, even though she was accompanied by reliable maids and nurses, the three older brothers were still very worried, and they all followed their younger sister Lin Yuan to Nanxi Academy.

Lin's carriage stopped steadily at the gate of the academy. The elder brother Lin Xuan got out of the carriage first, followed by the second elder brother Lin Ye, then the three Lin Yi, and finally Lin Xuan carried Lin Yuan off the carriage.The maids and nurses all got off the other carriage. They walked over quickly and stood by the carriage to wait.

"Sister, if you have anything in the academy, you can tell the maids and nurses, whether you are thirsty, hungry, or convenient, you should tell me, you know?" Eldest brother Lin Xuan explained carefully.

Lin Yuan nodded, and just gave the elder brother a smile, when the second elder brother said again, "If someone bullies you, just cry loudly and let the husband notice you. After you go home, tell your parents and brothers carefully." Tell me more, remember?"

Lin Yuan, who seemed to understand half understood, continued to nod, and the third brother urged, "In the academy, you must think about your brothers, and you must not forget them, do you understand?"

Lin Yuan smiled brightly, and continued to nod. As for what the three brothers meant... Lin Yuan tried her best to smile at the three brothers...

There are many carriages parked at the entrance of the academy, and most of the younger girls are seen off by their families.Like Lin Yuan, there is no other difference except that the three older brothers are quite conspicuous.

Here Lin Xuan and others chattered non-stop with Lin Yuan, and over there two more carriages stopped near Lin Yuan's carriage, and the people on the carriage got off after a while.

Lin Yuan turned her head and met the eyes of a young boy unexpectedly.The little girl next to the little boy tugged on the boy's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Brother, 'Pretty' has also come to the academy."
