The mansion of the Lin Mansion is the mansion of the Dali Siqing during the Qingxi period of the previous dynasty, and it can be regarded as magnificent among the official residences in the capital. Entering the vermilion gate to the left, in the middle is the Chunxi Courtyard of Mrs. Lin, to the east is the Chongxiao Courtyard of Lin Qian, the son of the Lin family, and then a small piece protruding from the east is Lin Rongjin's courtyard, and there is also Huifang Garden behind it.

The flowers and trees in the Huifang Garden are luxuriant, the east side is built with stones in the shape of a pond, the breeze blows, the water surface is folded, the little girl in a half-old peach-pink lake silk gown stretched out her hand in the pond and dialed it twice, all kinds of fish were scared away, she then carried her skirt to the bamboo house in the back row......

But just as she was about to raise her hand to push the emerald bamboo, suddenly there was a sporadic sound of talking in the room, Rong Jin hurriedly withdrew her hand, squatted down and looked in through the crack in the door......

The eye is a piece of fresh green, and there is a cold-looking woman sitting in a small round chair made of bamboo, she is dressed in a crescent white pleated plain skirt, as quiet and beautiful as a snow lotus blooming on the cliff, and opposite her sits a purple-robed man, with his round body facing away from Rong Jin.

Rong Jin's pupils shrank, isn't this his father and wife? No, you have to slip away quickly, otherwise you will find out that you may not be beaten fat, but you think like this in your heart, but you can't move under your feet.

Lin Qian in the house glanced at the bamboo house, sniffed deeply, closed his eyes and gently bowed: "Originally, the second brother went to Jiangnan on business and went to Shen Garden. ”

Zhu Shi on the bamboo chair opposite pursed his lips and said, "How many times has the old man made the right decision in this life?" Let's take the rules as an example, studying hard and taking a fame is the right way, you have to find him a position in the left division of Jin Wuwei, an idle position of the seventh grade, what's the good? ”

The twenty-four guards of the forbidden army are not so easy to enter, although the left division is an idle position, but only the children of the lord who have not been sealed can go in to replace them, so he has been with his colleagues for a long time, and he has made thousands of taels of silver to stuff people in.

Lin Qian's expression was uneasy, and he paused and said: "Qiu Qian missed twice, it can be seen that he is not a piece of reading material, what's the use of blindly putting aside the high and playing far, it is serious to find an errand step by step," said with a solemn expression and said: "You don't have to worry about it, but you have to take the marriage of a few sisters to heart, they have already reached the end of the year, why don't you take it out to meet this year's autumn banquet?" You can't delay even the children's marriage because you're tired of the scene, the old general's wife asked about Rong Qing on the way back. I have seen the Cheng family's later life, born with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a lofty spirit, but there is no reckless appearance, talking about the art of war is more straightforward, not to mention that he is now serving in the military department, that is, lying on his family's merit book to eat the old book, and it is enough to eat the next life. ”

Zhu was still indifferent when talking about her son's future, but when she heard about her daughter's marriage, she couldn't sit still, she stared straight at Lin Qian's eyes and said, "I don't know why you prefer a reckless man as a scholar?" The Rebellion of the Five Kings was still a few decades ago, General Cheng Lao had the merit of following the dragon, and it was true that he was relied on by the emperor, but now that the times are peaceful and prosperous, what do you want the generals to do? To put it mildly, if you want to be glorious, you can't be glorious for five generations, maybe one day the saint will take away the military power if it doesn't like it, which military general have you ever seen have a good end? ”

"A woman's opinion!" Lin Qian's nostrils let out a breath, stood up, shook his wide sleeves behind him, and said: "The gentleman's Ze, the fifth generation is beheaded, the ups and downs of the family are common, and the southeast border is not very peaceful in the past two months, in my opinion, the Cheng family still has something to do!" ”

Zhu didn't think so, but he didn't speak, just kept a straight face.

Lin Qianguan to Zuo Yushi, the rank is not high, he has always been a second-rate in the Beijing officials, and standing in front of him is either a child of a family who is in the limelight, or a talented person who is close to his age. He thinks that whether it is fighting for his family background, ability or qualifications, he is a left-handed imperial history.

His career has come to an end, and his two sons are not successful, so he can only count on his daughter to find a good family and help the house, so that the Lin family can gain a long-term foothold in Beijing.

In fact, the civil official Qingliu and the lord's family are his first choice, but this lady of his own family is either suspected of being shallow or is not used to the intrigue in the family, so this time he mentioned a general.

"I know that you have a very high vision, and you don't want your daughter to marry like you," Lin Qian's voice was slightly deep, as if he remembered something, he sat down and sighed: "If it wasn't for your father-in-law forcing you, you should have entered the palace to be a mother," Speaking of this, Lin Qian suddenly sat up straight and looked at her: "Do you want your daughters to draft into the palace?" ”

"Qing'er knows books and etiquette, and she is born well, what is wrong with entering the palace to be a mother?"

"You!" Lin Qian stared blankly at his wife, and Zhu looked back with a firm face, but he looked at Lin Qian with a weak heart, and finally lowered his eyes first.

At this time, Lin Qian felt that he couldn't stand his wife. The Lin family's poetry is heirloom, and the ancestors have been scholars for generations, but the highest one in the ancestors is a prefect, and even when Lin Qian asked to marry the Zhu family, his family was in the middle of the road, and he was only a district supervising the imperial history. And the Zhu family is a three-time Hanlin, with a family history, and a person who is randomly pulled out of the court, all of them are protégés of the Zhu family, and the Zhu family at that time was properly going to enter the palace to be a mother.

Once the Zhu family went to the Pujue Temple to do things, the old man Zhu didn't know why he was angry, and he was so angry that he went up the back mountain alone.

Lin Qian was quite chivalrous when he was young, and saw more than a dozen bright knives facing an old man, although he was alone and did not know martial arts, but he still strode forward, and the cloud was light and gentle with the bandit leader, moving with reason, knowing the benefits and disadvantages, and then presenting the only few silver tickets on his body, and finally breaking the fortune and avoiding the disaster.

Afterwards, Old Man Zhu praised him: "Lin Yushi, a man of great wisdom and bravery!" So, Old Man Zhu married his granddaughter to him, not only that, but also paved the way for him in the officialdom.

"Master don't worry, there is the emperor and the queen mother who read the merits of the Zhu Lin family, and Qing'er's entry into the palace is just a natural thing," Zhu said busily.

"Then how many more Rong Zheng are? You have to pay attention to their marriage, as a mother-in-law, speaking of this, Rong Jin's rules can be learned? In a few months, she will be in time, and she is so unruly, it is not like a word to take it out......"

Suddenly named by her father, Rong Jin, who was listening to the rise outside the door, twitched her heart, she looked down at herself, wearing a flower skirt, pinching her handkerchief, and even squatting was much more decent than when she first returned home half a year ago.

Just as he was feeling sorry for himself, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer in the house, and thought that the two of them got up and came to the door...... Rong Jin hurriedly lifted the hem of her skirt, bent her waist, and trotted lightly to hide in the small room on the right, her body was close to the bamboo door, and she didn't even dare to go out.

After staying like this for a long time, I heard the voice of a woman nearby, "Madam, how can there be a string of beaded flowers here?" ”

Rong Jin's heart was like a drum, she reached out to her hair, Zhuhua was really gone, and she closed her eyes with a dead heart.

"Inform Mother Meng and let her teach the rules of the four girls well," Zhu's voice was faint, but Rong Jin's heart trembled when she heard it, only to feel that the sky was about to fall.

Half a year ago, Rong Jin, who had been kept outside, was taken back to the house for funeral, and the first time I saw Zhu's family, I felt that this lady didn't like her, so I tried to stay away from her as much as possible.
