Chapter 2: Overboard

Two richly decorated carriages slowly stopped outside the gate of the Lin Mansion.

Lin Yunxin looked up at the plaque of "Lin Mansion" carved with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, and the heart that had been floating in mid-air finally came to fruition.

It turned out that she really came back, back to more than ten years ago, at this time, the family had not yet fallen, and her loved ones were still around.

Their four-room and second-room families took the lead in this year, returning to the imperial capital to explore the way, trying to find a way for the Lin family, who had been saved in the mountains to return to the court and regain their glory.

At this time, the Lin family had not fallen apart, let alone been branded as a rebel. Her father didn't end up depressed with alcohol every day, and her younger brother never died at a young age because he protected his family and offended the powerful, perhaps, this time could be different? Is it too late?

Lin Yunxin eagerly took two steps forward, and suddenly stopped, she suddenly had a sense of timidity, afraid that everything in front of her was just a dream, she walked in a hurry, and the dream woke up.

But Lin Suhui's voice broke her worries: "What are you doing here, why don't you go back soon?" Don't you think you're ashamed of your sloppy appearance? ”

In order to avoid Qin Yanqi, Lin Yunxin rolled around on the ground, which naturally stained a lot of dust, but also disappointed Lin Suhui's wishes.

For Lin Suhui, only the higher her father Lin Jingyi's official position, the more likely she is to marry well, Lin Yunxin's refusal to comply, so that her father has less help, which is equivalent to blocking her way, of course, there will be no good face.

Lin Yunxin first saluted the second aunt, and when she entered the house first, she looked at Lin Suhui, seemed to be smiling, and answered the question: "The second sister should be careful to stay away from the water today." ”

"What do you mean?" Lin Suhui raised her eyebrows, and reacted quickly this time, "You curse me?" ”

"How so? It's a reminder. Lin Yunxin smiled slightly.

At this time, the two girls from the second room who were standing on the side stepped forward, and the older one approached Lin Suhui closely: "Second sister, don't talk to her too much, some people you treat her well, when it comes to an important moment, you will backlash and rake it, it's not worth it, let's go back." ”

"Hmph." Lin Suhui glared at Lin Yunxin, turned around and left.

Seeing the two sisters leaving, the younger girl who was left behind hesitated slightly, and when she passed by Lin Yunxin's side, she whispered and comforted: "Sister Wanxin should go back quickly, maybe there is a purple on her body, hurry up and take a look......"

"Sijin! Don't pretend to be a good person there, hurry up! Lin Suhui turned around and shouted unhappily.

"Here we are." The girl hurried over.

Silence returned outside the gates.

"Miss......" The maid Ning Cui stepped forward.

"Let's go in too." Lin Yunxin smiled and walked towards the courtyard.

Courtyards, cloisters, rockeries, green trees...... Everything is so familiar and unfamiliar, Lin Yunxin walked and stopped, one hand subconsciously brushed over the stone fence and carved flowers one by one, and the scene of thousands of reviews in her dream was now really in front of her, constantly reminding her that she was really back.

And what about her dad? What is Daddy doing now?

Thinking of this, her footsteps kept getting faster, and she quickly rushed into Tingyuxuan, who had lived with her father and brother for nearly two years, but whether it was the living room or the bedroom, she didn't catch a single figure, just when she was looking at the furnishings in the house in frustration.

"Fourth Miss?" Listening to Yuxuan's housekeeper's mother, she shouted in surprise, "What are you ...... about?" She noticed that Lin Yunxin's coat was stained with some dust.

Without waiting for her to finish, Lin Yunxin asked, "What about my father?" ”

"Fourth master? The slave maid just saw him enter the courtyard in the north with the second master, thinking that something was wrong...... "Before the housekeeper's mother finished speaking, Lin Yunxin had already gone out like a gust of wind, "Hey, my young lady, slow down!" ”

Outside the hall of the North Courtyard.

As soon as Lin Yunxin approached, she heard the sound of people inside, and she seemed to be a little excited, arguing about something.

"Fourth, why don't you listen to persuasion? You usually don't talk much, but now is the time when we need the Lin family to move around and dredge up relationships, and everything must be in the interests of the family, do you understand? A deep male voice said with a bit of anger and oppression.

Another weak male voice was a little hesitant and helpless: "But second brother, it is my ...... that the master of the courtyard approves."

Did he say you had to do it? Why is it so stubborn and inflexible? Now that he has promised this position, he will not take it back easily, as long as he walks around again and explains the situation, there will be no big problems. ”

"But ......"

"Look at your indecisiveness! Shen Wen must be more suitable for this errand than you, okay, you give him this position, and that's it......"

"Daddy!!" Hearing this, Lin Yunxin couldn't hold back any longer, shouted, and rushed into the hall.

At the same time, those memories that had been silent for a long time and almost forgotten suddenly resurfaced in my mind and became extremely clear.

Yes, this is the time when my father, second uncle and cousins are running around for the Lin family to return to the court, but they have not been able to enter.

Even back then, the Lin family was also a famous family in the imperial capital, Lin Jingren in the long room was the secretary of the third grade household department, and Lin Jingyi in the second room was the servant of the fourth grade of the rite department, but he left the court for eight years, and many things have long been wrong.

For the Lin family, an opportunistic "wonderful" family who still wants to come back for a piece of the pie, more people are resistant and watching, and no one is willing to really reach out and pull it.

But on this day, my father solemnly visited his former boss and teacher, and came to Chen Qizhi, the head of the Hanlin Academy of the Two Dynasties, and obtained the approval of the Chen Academy, and returned to the post of revising from the Liupin Hanlin Academy eight years ago.

Whether it is the Jin Kingdom of the previous dynasty or the current Qing Dynasty, the lord of the first court has the right to appoint and dismiss officials below the sixth rank.

But it was also this day in her last life, she was designed to meet Qin Yanqi, was picked up on the street, ruined her reputation, and was forced to be good with this. The lustful apprentice is married.

In those days, her whole body was in a daze, and even her father was worried about it, and she no longer had the intention of competing for the position of Hanlin Academy's cultivation, so she was snatched away by the eldest son of the second uncle.

Because of this, Dad offended the former chief and disappointed him.

Dad himself is a pure literati, not good at the struggle of the court but good at compiling documents, the head of the Hanlin Academy also values his literary brilliance and diligent and down-to-earth advantages, just when the new emperor was first established, it is the time when the new dynasty needs to compile the treasure book of the new dynasty.

Dad could have made great achievements, but he was buried in it, and in the end, he borrowed wine all day long to kill his sorrows, and he ended up depressed......

On the contrary, Lin Shenwen, the eldest son of the second uncle, got the position left and right, but he did not engage in the post of repair, and finally climbed the side branch and left the Hanlin Academy, but it also ruined the reputation of the Lin family in the Hanlin Academy.

But in the end, it was her accident that hurt her father......

"Daddyβ€”β€”!" Lin Yunxin threw herself into Lin Jingzhi's arms and cried loudly.

She finally saw her father again, a real father, not a dream, not a phantom, something that could be grasped and touched.

It was only then that she truly realized that she was back, really back to more than a decade ago!

A sore sense of happiness instantly filled her whole body, how many years, she never threw herself into her father's arms and cried again? How many years has she not felt the joy of her loved ones around?

How happy she is now, how much regret she has in the past.

Lin Yunxin cried so much that tears fell, tears fell down, and the extreme grief was mixed with the joy of losing and regaining, which made people heartbroken.

Lin Jingzhi was a little panicked, he had never seen his daughter crying like this, his daughter had always been a little well-behaved, and even swallowed grievances in her stomach in order not to worry him, what kind of thing happened to make her look like this?

"Wan Xin, what's going on? Tell Daddy, Daddy will call the shots for you. Lin Jingzhi was distressed, all along, it was he who was too useless to make his children dare not cry even when they were bullied, he couldn't go on like this.

"Wan Xin, tell Dad, what's wrong? …… Are you falling? Only then did he notice the dust on his daughter's body, and the corners of his eyebrows jumped, and a trace of anger appeared on his face.

Lin Yunxin cried so much that her eyes were full of tears, she couldn't stop shaking her head, and only said in a dumb voice: "Dad, shall we go back?" Is it okay to go home? Woo......"

"Alright, alright, let's go back." Lin Jingzhi couldn't care about arguing with the Erfang family anymore, so he hurriedly nodded at them, and left with his daughter, leaving Lin Jingyi and his two sons looking at each other.

Lin Jingyi frowned, paced around the hall twice, and suddenly scolded: "This stinky girl, it's really not the right time." ”

Listen to Yuxuan, in the inner room.

Lin Yunxin cried all the way, and finally turned into a whimper and slowly calmed down.

Lin Jingzhi let out a sigh, patted his daughter on the back, handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said softly: "What's wrong, Wan Xin?" If you don't go to Ning'an Temple to incense today, how can you come back with a disgraced face? Did they bully you? ”

"That's right." Lin Yunxin deliberately pouted her small mouth and briefly told her father what she had encountered on the road today.

"Are you saying that they deliberately designed it to sell you to Qin Yan?" Lin Jingzhi's face sank and he was angry. No wonder the daughter cries like this, for a woman, the matter of marriage is greater than the sky, and whoever is so plain is sold to good. Lustful people, they can't stand it.

"Dad, don't be angry first, I think that they have gone around in so many circles, and what they want is a position in the court, and they will do whatever it takes to please people."

Lin Jingzhi nodded, feeling both relieved and sad that his daughter could calmly and self-sustain his analysis for him when such a bad thing happened.

"It's like my father's errand today......" Lin Yunxin was halfway through her words, when she saw the maid Luliu walking in with a tea tray, first making tea for her father, and looking at her father more prettyly.

Lin Yunxin's eyes sank.

Ning Cui and Green Willow are both maids by her side, why didn't she find out before, Green Willow is like this?

A pair of peach blossom charming eyes, with autumn water in the eyes, moles and lewd at the corners of the eyes, peach face floating, waist and limbs do not move and swing, finch steps and leaping, at first glance is a short-sighted and dishonest flattering lord.

Thinking about it this way, there was indeed a time in her previous life when her father was drunk and out of shape, and this matter was stabbed out, and finally the second aunt made the decision and asked her father to take the green willow into the house.

Obviously, since the death of his mother, his father has been single, and now it seems that this matter may also be strange.

No wonder there was something going on in the four rooms of their last life, and the second room was the first to know. She has always had a white-eyed wolf by her side?

"Miss, tea." Green willow gently served the tea cup.

Lin Yunxin picked up the teacup, sipped it close to her lips, but suddenly slammed the teacup to the ground, and said sharply: "What kind of tea is this, it still smells musty?" That's how you neglect your master? ”

Lin Yunxin has always been gentle with others, how could she ever be so harsh? So much so that Lu Liu was stunned for a moment, and then he pounced and knelt down: "I'm sorry, miss, the tea was distributed by the second lady, and the slave doesn't know if it's not to your taste......"

Lin Yunxin snorted: "What? Take the second aunt to press me? Are you the master or am I the master? Do you remember who you are? ”

Lu Liu's heart jumped, and he suddenly felt that Lin Yunxin had become difficult, obviously in the past, as long as she said this, the fourth lady would weigh back down, but now, ......

"When, of course, Miss ......"

"Get out!" Lin Yunxin's eyes were cold, "Without my order, in the future, Luliu will not be allowed to enter the inner courtyard again, and will only be allowed to sweep in the outer courtyard." If you violate the order, you will be beaten out! Get lost! ”

"Yes......" Green Willow didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly retreated.

Lin Jingzhi was a little surprised, his daughter's performance today was really different from the past, but the sentence "Take the second aunt to press me?" It also planted a thorn in his heart.

is also the daughter of the Lin family, but his daughter has always been inferior to the two concubines in the second room. It's all because he's been too useless in the past......

If he was still a little shaken by the words of the second brother Lin Jingyi before, now Lin Jingzhi has decided that no matter what, he must get the position of the Hanlin Academy to cultivate, only in this way can he have the slightest possibility to protect his own children.

"Daddy......" Seeing that his father was silent, Lin Yunxin was a little worried that he was thinking too much, but the words that could be explained had not yet been spoken.

Suddenly there was an exclamation from outside the house, "...... Overboard! Oh my God, come on! The second lady fell into the waterβ€”β€”! ”
