Mrs. Lin is not an old-fashioned person, and she heard Lin Chengzhi say that it is just a small business: "You can do business, but you can't become a businessman." ”

Lin Chengzhi nodded in response, and then asked tentatively: "Mother, speaking of which, we have to thank the person who recommended us to Lingquan Temple to offer incense." If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have gone to Lingquan Temple, without the blessing of the Bodhisattva, how could the eldest brother and the second brother pass the exam! ”

Mrs. Lin shook her head and said, "I asked your father last night, and your father said that he knew it in his heart and asked me to leave it alone." ”

Lin Chengzhi was a little surprised: "Didn't Dad say who it was?" ”

Old Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "Your father is mysterious, in fact, I guessed it even if he didn't say it." Except for a few of your cousins, how can anyone else say that he can be moved! ”

The husband is so stubborn, and he can only listen to the words of a few cousins of the Xu family.

Lin Chengzhi had a plan in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "No wonder the Xu family has produced so many scholars, it turns out that they are all Bodhisattvas who worship Lingquan Temple." ”

Mrs. Lin said with a smile on her face: "You can't say that, it's also that your eldest brother and second brother have real talents and learning, and they passed the exam with the blessing of the Bodhisattva." If it's an elm pimple, it's useless to worship the Bodhisattva. ”

"Mother is right." After speaking, Lin Chengzhi asked again: "Mother, do you think it's the second cousin or the third cousin?" ”

Mrs. Lin was defenseless against her son: "Your father is close to your third cousin on weekdays, and he should have told your father about this." Thanks to him, otherwise your eldest brother wouldn't have been able to get into the Jinshi. ”

Lin Chengzhi was speechless.

Mrs. Lin asked about the Gu family: "I heard that Mrs. Gu's illegitimate son came to the door to ask for the recognition of his ancestors and his ancestors, Chengzhi, is this true?" ”

Lin Chengzhi shook his head and said, "No." That person was a liar, pretending to be the son of Old Lady Gu and trying to defraud the Gu family's property. ”

Old Lady Lin said: "It's also that the Tang family is too domineering, if Old Lady Gu was allowed to take a concubine at the beginning, it wouldn't be desolate now, so that Old Lady Gu doesn't even have a bloodline." ”

Lin Chengzhi didn't like to hear this: "Mother, why didn't you leave any blood?" Qingshu and An An are not people. ”

Mrs. Lin waved her hand and said, "Sooner or later, the girls will be from other people's families, and they will be brought back in a few days." ”

Lin Chengzhi said: "Mother, it costs money to bring Qingshu and An An back for food and clothing." It's better to leave the two sisters in the Gu Mansion and pick them up when they are older. ”

"Our Lin family's children, how can we let the Gu family raise them?"

Lin Chengzhi is also slipping away now: "We took care of the old lady's pity, so we let Qingshu and An An stay in the Gu family." ”

When Mrs. Lin heard this, she said, "That's not going to work. Even if we eat bran vegetables, our children can't be raised by others. ”

She wished that the old lady Gu had died earlier, how could she pity her!

Lin Chengzhi felt that it was better to write a letter to Lin Chengyu and ask him to write a letter to persuade Mrs. Lin.

After talking about the Gu family, Mrs. Lin reminded her old words again: "Chengzhi, when are you moving back?" ”

Lin Chengzhi shook his head and said, "Mother, I think it's good." There is a way that is far fragrant and smelly, living together all day long noisy, and after separation, the relationship is harmonious. ”

Mrs. Lin was anxious: "How can this be the same?" Living together is a family, and being separated is two families. Chengzhi, your eldest brother is now Master Jinshi, and your second brother is now Xiucaigong, at this time, the three of you brothers work together to make the Lin family prosperous. ”

Lin Chengzhi said deliberately: "Mother, it is enough for the Lin family to prosper by relying on the eldest brother and the second brother, it doesn't matter if I have it or not." ”

Mrs. Lin said, "You three brothers are all equally important. Your father said, Cheng Yu will take the career path of Cheng Zhong to teach and educate people, and you will stay at home to take care of the housework and stabilize the rear. In the future, the Lin family will be prosperous, and you will also have a share of the credit. ”

And the credit? I'm afraid that the second room will have to call him around like a human being when the time comes.

Lin Chengzhi didn't want to bother with this matter: "Mother, the eldest brother is now admitted to the Jinshi, and I will come back to help Zhang Luo if the family wants to do wine." As for moving back, don't say it again in the future, how can you still live together after you are separated. ”

Seeing that Mrs. Lin still wanted to say more, Lin Chengzhi said: "Mother, I don't want to be pointed at my head and scolded for being a waster." Besides, I'm fed up with those noisy days, and I'm never going to move back. Mother, I'll go back first if there's nothing else. ”

Without waiting for Mrs. Lin to speak, Lin Chengzhi strode out.

Mrs. Lin was angry and anxious: "This kid, why is he so stubborn!" ”

It's all Webster's broom stars, if it weren't for the fact that her family is still neat now.

Lin Chengzhi walked out of the door and saw a young woman standing at the door: "Xiaoxiao, why are you back?" ”

Chen Xiaoxiao hung his head and said, "Third brother, I heard that the eldest brother was admitted to the Jinshi, so I came back to take a look." ”

Mrs. Lin gave birth to three sons and a daughter, but as soon as the youngest daughter was born, the Lin family had a lot of troubles. First of all, Lin Chengyu had a serious illness and was almost not saved, but before he recovered, Lin Chengzhong broke his leg again, and then Lin Chengzhi fell into the pond and almost drowned.

Seeing that something was wrong, Mrs. Lin hurriedly went to ask the fairy aunt. As a result, the fairy aunt said that her youngest daughter and her three sons were in harmony and must be sent away. Otherwise, her three sons would have been killed by her.

Mrs. Lin has always been patriarchal, and after hearing that if she left her daughter behind, she would kill her three sons, how could she dare to keep her.

Through acquaintances, Mrs. Lin gave her little daughter to a couple surnamed Chen in the town who had not given birth for five years. The couple is quite generous, and they have their own children and have never abused Chen Xiaoxiao. Of course, it wasn't much better, but she wasn't hungry and frozen.

Chen Xiaoxiao looks like Lin Chengyu and looks very outstanding. In order to get more dowry, the couple surnamed Chen married her to Ma Duocai, the lame only son of the owner of the grocery store in the town. I gave birth to a son at the beginning of this year, and my life is not good.

Lin Chengzhi nodded and said, "My mother is in the house, you can go in." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao stood at the door, reluctant to go in.

Lin Chengzhi was a little distressed when he saw it, and said to Zhang: "You take Leshu back first, and I'll bring Rudie and Le Wei back later." ”

Mrs. Lin was stunned when she saw Chen Xiaoxiao, and then said the same thing as Lin Chengzhi: "Why are you here?" ”

Chen Xiaoxiao said expressionlessly: "I heard that Brother Lin was admitted to the Jinshi, so I came here to say hello." ”

If she hadn't been persecuted by her in-laws and husband, she would not have stepped into the door of the Lin family in death.

Now that Lin Chengyu's three brothers have married and had children, they are not afraid that Chen Xiaoxiao will restrain them again. Mrs. Lin didn't shy away from her: "You have a heart, let's leave after dinner!" ”

Chen Xiaoxiao didn't want to eat at Lin's house, but before she could speak, her husband Ma Duocai responded with a smile.

Putting down the pastry in his hand, Ma Duocai said: "This is a red bean cake made by Xiaoxiao herself, and my mother-in-law will try it." ”

Old Madam Lin nodded and said, "You have a heart." ”

Lin Chengzhi looked at Chen Xiaoxiao's hand holding the hem of his skirt, and said, "Mother, didn't you just say that you were sleepy?" I took my brother-in-law and sister out, you have a good rest. ”

Old Mrs. Lin was also not happy to look at Chen Xiaoxiao's gloomy face, waved her hand and said, "Go down!" ”
