Lin Xue shook her head, and began to get busy again after seeing the Zhang family leave, Li Qi went to the town with Lin Guo and Lin Jie early in the morning, that house has not been inhabited for a long time, and many places need to be cleaned and rearranged.

Lin Xue took a few maids to sort and put away the gifts in the yard one by one, and some particularly valuable ones were put in her bedroom, planning to return them to these people when she had the opportunity.

"Mother, don't be busy yet, my brother has sent a letter back." Yunyun ran in happily with a letter.

"Really, bring it over and show me." Lin Xue put down the things in her hand and couldn't wait to open the envelope and look at it.

Lou Yujie heard the movement in the living room, walked out with a slight waist support, and said softly, "Mother, is it a letter from the father-in-law?" What is written on it. ”

Lin Xue read the letter at a glance, the smile on her face became bigger and bigger, and her hand holding the envelope trembled, "Yujie, Yunyun, Feng'er has been admitted to Tanhua, my son is really promising this time." ”

"Really? Mother, Xianggong is Tanhua, so did he say when he would come back? Yujie was also very excited, put her head in front of Lin Xue, and looked at the content of the letter.

Lin Xue smiled, handed the letter to Lou Yujie, and said, "Feng'er said that it may take a while to come back, so let's not worry, just wait at home with peace of mind." ”

"Mother, then let's quickly tell grandpa and grandpa the good news, they will definitely be happy." Yunyun pulled Lin Xue's sleeve and jumped and jumped, her brother was admitted to Tanhualang, and she couldn't wait for everyone to know this good news.

Lin Xue patted her right hand and said, "Yunyun, then you should quickly tell your grandfather and grandfather the news, my mother will go to the old mansion for a trip, and tell them the news." ”

Yunyun's mouth pursed slightly, and he said dissatisfiedly, "What do you say to them, no one there really cares about my brother at all." ”

Lin Xue shook her head with a smile and said, "Yunyun, don't you want to see your grandparents' surprised expressions after they learned about your brother's admission to Tanhualang?" I think you're going to look good. ”

Yunyun nodded suddenly, "Mother, you are so cunning, after grandparents know, their expressions must be very exciting, sister-in-law, let's go with my mother to have a look." ”

Lou Yujie was a little hesitant, she felt frightened every time she saw the Wang family, so she really didn't want to go to the old mansion if there was nothing important.

Lin Xue glanced at Lou Yujie and said to Yunyun, "Yunyun, your sister-in-law is pregnant and not suitable for running around, you just stay at home with her, and your mother can go alone." ”

Yunyun flattened her mouth, and glanced at Lou Yujie's stomach helplessly, if you don't go, don't go, anyway, sooner or later you will see it.

Lin Xue picked out some irrelevant things from the gifts sent and took them to the old mansion, Zhang happened to be washing rice at the door, and when he saw Lin Xue, he jumped up violently and said, "Third brother and sister, what are you doing here, you gave me all those things, is it possible that you still want to go back." ”

Lin Xue's smiling face froze, did she look so stingy? The things that were sent out are about to come back, "Sister-in-law, I came here because I had something to do with my father, and those things are nothing to me." ”

Zhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, shook off the water in his hand, looked at Lin Xue with a smile and said, "Third brother and sister, these things in your hand are for your mother, I'll help you get them, let's go in together." ”

Lin Xue handed over the things to the Zhang family and went to the upper room, Long Jiaojiao and Erlang were also inside, the Wang family was talking to them with a pleasant face, and the Zhang family walked over from behind and said, "Mother, the third brother and sister are here, and she has brought you a lot of gifts." ”

Wang raised his eyelids and said casually, "Put it there, third daughter-in-law, what is the matter with you coming over this time." ”

Lin Xue didn't care about Wang's attitude, turned to look at the old man and said, "Dad, Feng'er Hall has won the third place in the test, and he is now Tanhualang." ”

Wang snorted when he heard it, and said disdainfully, "What Tanhua, Chunhua, I haven't heard of it, it won't be a failure, I'm so happy." ”

The house was silent for a while, everyone looked at the Wang family with strange eyes, and the old man glared at her fiercely and said, "Old woman, you shut your mouth for me, Feng'er was admitted to Tanhua, that is the green smoke on the ancestral grave of our Li family, what do you know about a woman with long hair and short knowledge." ”

Wang didn't dare to defend when he saw the old man angry, turned his body back, and closed his eyes to the wall.

The old man ignored her, took two steps closer to Lin Xue and said, "Third daughter-in-law, that Feng'er didn't say when he would come back, he should be named an official when he was admitted to the Tanhua Imperial Court." ”

As soon as the old man's words fell, Zhang couldn't wait to say, "Third brother and sister, Feng'er is going to be an official, so isn't our family a chicken and a dog ascending to heaven, and we can do whatever we want in the future, and we don't have to be afraid of anyone anymore." ”

Lin Xue frowned, looked at Zhang unhappily and said, "Sister-in-law, even if Feng'er becomes an official, there are even bigger officials than him, and you still have to be punished for doing something wrong, so sister-in-law, don't daydream anywhere." ”

Zhang's words also reminded Lin Xue that these people in the old mansion are short-sighted and lazy, and it is very possible to do something stupid in the name of Feng'er in the future.

Thinking of this, Lin Xue raised her head and said, "Dad, I don't know if Feng'er can be an official, even if he becomes an official in the future, he should do things for the people and be a good official, right?" ”

The old man nodded, raised his voice and said, "Third daughter-in-law, don't worry, no one in our family will definitely hold Feng'er back, if anyone dares to do something stupid, then drive out of the Li family and let him fend for himself." ”

Long Jiaojiao stood there, not feeling good, if she had married her cousin, then now Mrs. Tanhua's position would be hers, and she would have to look at Wang's face all day long.

Lin Xue nodded, she was still quite satisfied with the old man's words, you must know that the words of the old man in the Li family are holy decrees, and few people dare to disobey them. "Dad, I also passed on the word, if it's okay, then I'll go back."

"Well, go ahead." The old man waved his hand, thinking about how he wanted to tell the matter.

"Third daughter-in-law, wait a minute, I still have something to say to you." Wang didn't know when he turned around, and said to Lin Xue.

Lin Xue stopped, blinked, and said, "Mother, what are you looking for me?" ”

Wang pulled the corners of his mouth, and said in a soft tone, "If you take these things back, you will treat them as if they were given to Feng'er by me and your father, remember, you must tell Feng'er when he comes back." ”

Lin Xue was directly stunned, looking at the Wang family in disbelief, no mistake, these things seem to have been brought by her just now, even if they are borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, it is better to cover them up.

The old man also felt a little embarrassed, coughed twice and said, "Old woman, take fifty taels of silver to the third daughter-in-law, Feng'er is so happy to be admitted to Tanhua, you should give a heavy gift." ”

"What, fifty taels." Wang's face changed suddenly, and he glared at the old man and said, "Old man, you can't be crazy, we have fifty taels of silver in our family, and I want to give it to you, but I don't have it anyway." ”

The old man also sank his face, pointed at the Wang family and said, "I will let you take it, what are you doing with so much nonsense." ”

"Nope." Wang replied bluntly.

Lin Xue saw that the old man was a little angry, and hurriedly said, "Dad, you don't need to give gifts for Feng'er's affairs, don't quarrel with the two of you, I will leave first if I have something to do at home." ”

Lin Xue left the old mansion in a hurry, knowing that there would be nothing good to come here, sometimes Lin Xue was a little sympathetic to the old man, and it was really sad to marry such a daughter-in-law who didn't know the general situation.

As soon as Lin Xue left, the old man's anger also reached the highest point, pointing at Wang's nose and saying, "You have no brains when you arrive, Feng'er will be an official in the future, and the benefits to our family will not be more than fifty taels, that is, five hundred taels, five thousand taels, someone will send it to you, the family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate." ”

Wang shrank his body and said stiffly, "Why do people give you silver, isn't it just to be admitted to a Tanhua?" What's the big deal, I still have that silver left to Ping'er, no one should think about it. ”

The old man almost fainted in anger, there is really no reason to talk about people like Wang, Long Jiaojiao's eyes rolled, and said, "Milk, in fact, what the master said is right, my grandfather is a small county Cheng, there are many people who send silver to my family every year, my cousin is a tanhua, if it is an official, it is at least a county order, you always think about it, can there be fewer people who send money every year?" ”

The Wang family gasped, the county order, that is a great official, Li Feng's useless is really going to come out this time, Wang pressed his forehead, and said, "Even if people send silver, it will be given to the third family, what does it have to do with us, Jiaojiao, you don't know, your third uncle's family has no conscience, and they won't give me the silver at all." ”

Long Jiaojiao sat next to Wang, took her hand and said, "Milk, you are confused, this gift of silver also requires skill, and it will be sent directly to the official master, so it is generally a turn to send money, my cousin is the grandson of milk, this relationship is the closest, you said that those who ask your cousin to do things can still send money there if they don't send the money here." ”

The old man coughed and said, "Jiaojiao, don't talk nonsense, being an official is for the people, how can you make money for yourself, being a corrupt official will be scolded to death by the people." ”

Long Jiaojiao pursed her lips secretly and said, "Master, you are a corrupt official if you collect some small money, you always think too much, you see that my grandfather has collected it for so many years, and it is not that there is nothing at all." ”

The old man's eyes darkened, and no matter what Long Jiaojiao said, he didn't stop it.
