When Jin Niang led a few children to the Lin Mansion, Father Lin and Aunt Shen had not yet come.

However, Xuanxuan has already prepared the meals and washing things, as long as her father and mother enter the door, she can clean up and eat.

Xuanxuan also lived back in Lin Mansion after Qing'er was hit by Tanhualang. Because there are more people coming and going at home, and there are more people handing over prayer posts, it is not the same thing that no one is sitting at home. So Xuanxuan moved back from Xu's Mansion and began to take on the burden of housekeeping.

However, Jin Niang occasionally comes over to give a few words, even Xiao Yu'er and Changle study in Xu Mansion during the day, and they also come here to rest at night. Because they wanted to be with Xuanxuan, the two were also instructed by Jinniang to talk to her aunt about some housekeeping skills, so the house was running quite well, and there were no mistakes.

Xuanxuan saw that her sister was leading a few children over, so she hurriedly asked someone to bring them a handkerchief and warm water, and let them wash their hands and faces.

In the spring, the wind and sand in the capital were particularly strong, and although they sat in the carriage all the way, their heads and faces were also covered with a lot of dust.

Before Jin Niang could say anything, Changzhou said, "I'm afraid my grandparents are now native." ”

Everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh out loud, the words were true, but it was not appropriate for him to bury the elders like this.

Jin Niang patted Changzhou, "You talk a lot." ”

Changzhou was a little aggrieved, "Mother, look at you, can't I tell the truth?" I feel sorry for my grandparents, they have had a really hard journey. I heard that the northwest is more windy and sandy than the capital, and they may not have eaten much sand along the way. As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed, "It's really not easy to be a parent, for the sake of the child's good, no matter how hard it is, you have to catch up." ”

Who's to say it isn't.

It stands to reason that Qing'er has to go back to her hometown when she gets married, but because she was awarded the Sixth Grade Cultivation, she had to go to the Yamen on time to work on an errand, so she didn't have the time to go back to Pingyang; Then I also thought that my son would settle in the capital in the future, and then let my son marry his daughter-in-law to Pingyang to toss people for nothing. Finally, there is a more realistic point, that is, thinking about the Ke family here, the daughters of other people are low-married, and they have the identity of the county lord, even if they are aiming at the fact that they will take more care of Qing'er in the future, and now they should put the banquet in the capital.

So the children should have been running around and working hard, but now the two elders compromised and rushed to the capital.

Everyone in the flower hall sighed, but they didn't say much. After they washed their hands and faces and drank another cup of tea, Father Lin and Aunt Shen arrived.

When Jin Niang and a few people heard the news, they hurriedly went out, and the carriage was coming, and they didn't see Father Lin and Aunt Shen in the carriage, but they first saw Tonghe sitting on a tall horse and looking like a supporter.

Tonghe got off Ma Chong Jinniang and saluted, "Madam, fortunately not disgraced." ”

"Okay, good, thank you for your hard work."

Tonghe replied, "Yes", and then saw that Jinniang didn't need him here, so he took his men back to Xu's Mansion first.

At this time, the doors of the carriages in front and behind were opened, Father Lin and Aunt Shen were the first to appear, and Jinniang and Xuanxuan hurriedly walked a few steps over to support the old man. Several people looked at each other, and their eyes were a little red for a while, and Jinniang called out, "Dad, aunt." ”

Xuanxuan's tears fell suddenly, hugged Aunt Shen, and called "Mother" softly, her tone was very attachmentful.

Father Lin looked at his two daughters, and his hands trembled with excitement. He is much older than when Jin Niang saw him in the early years, and he has gray hair on his head. But Xu is not worried about anything on weekdays, his spirit is very good, his complexion is also ruddy and full, and he looks very healthy.

Father Lin looked at his daughter, and then at the grandsons who came to salute, and his trembling words were incoherent. After a long while, he said to Jinniang, "Seeing that you are doing well, my father will be relieved." ”

looked at Changle and Xiao Yu'er again, "My two granddaughters are very good-looking, and every time my grandfather reads your letters and learns that your studies have progressed, he is very pleased." ”

Changle and Xiao Yu'er hurriedly stepped forward, "Grandfather, we have learned a lot of things, some of them haven't been told to you in detail, but fortunately, when you come to the capital, we will come to talk to you if you have nothing to do in the future, and talk to you about how my father and mother squeezed us." We're all kids, and we're going to have to go from morning to night, and you see, we all have gray hairs on our heads. ”

Father Lin laughed, "Talking nonsense, grandfather sees that you are very energetic, and it is not a problem to learn two more lessons." ”

Changle and Xiao Yu'er were slumped down by the blow, and they were very depressed.

Seeing this, Father Lin laughed, and the wrinkles around his eyes were all revealed.

Brother Rong led the triplets to come up, Father Lin patted Brother Rong on the shoulder, and said with trembling lips, "Like your father, I will also take the top exam in the future." ”

Brother Rong said, "I want to too, but unfortunately my father said that I am not as talented as him, and I may have to study for a few more years if I want to be the champion." ”

When it comes to reading and today's heavy schoolwork, Brother Rong is a little distressed, "Grandfather, I'll come over to honor you for a few days, you don't know that my father is strict, and he takes the time to check my homework when he is so busy every day." I'm studying strategy now, and I'm not learning very well, so my dad will give me more schoolwork, and I haven't had a good rest these days. ”

Father Lin smiled, "That's not good, it's better to study and reuse, filial grandfather can wait for you to finish your homework and come over." ”

Brother Rong also had a depressed face, and he was a little loveless.

The triplets squeezed over at this time, and Cheung Chau, a familiar acquaintance, chirped, "Grandfather, look at me, I'm Cheung Chau." My grandfather is the eldest of triplets, my brother Changhui and my sister Changqi. ”

The corners of Father Lin's mouth couldn't close when he smiled, and he hugged Changzhou up. Jin Niang and the others were frightened, not worried that Father Lin would fall on Changzhou, anyway, this kid was solid, and he couldn't break it if he fell twice. But Father Lin is really not young anymore, he is a scholar, and he has no strength, how is it good to pick up a meat mound and flash his waist again.

Father Lin put Changzhou down and hugged Changhui and Changqi one by one. Seeing that the three children were healthy and healthy, their little faces were very ruddy, and the Jedi were not as weak as the rest of the premature children, Father Lin was very happy. I couldn't stop after saying a few good things in a row, until I touched the three children again and again, and then I said with red eyes, "All are good children, all good, all good." ”

Aunt Shen is slender and sensitive, and she is the most prone to tears, so when she saw this, she turned her back and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Jin Niang hurriedly coaxed her, "On a happy day, don't shed tears." ”

"My aunt didn't shed tears, but the wind and sand were too big and she lost her eyes." She took Jinniang's hand and said in a low voice, "You don't know what your father knew about you giving birth to three children, and what kind of worries became at that time." He didn't eat or drink well all day, and he lost a lot of hair. Aunt Shen only said that Father Lin was worried, but she didn't mention herself. At that time, she was good there again, and she scared herself half to death with nightmares every night, but she didn't say a word to Jinniang.

She just said, "After that, your father is always worried that the three children will damage their bones and get sick." Even if you write to say that the children are growing well, your father thinks that you are deliberately reassuring us. Now it's good, I can see it with my own eyes, the children are so good, all of them are mentally healthy and healthy, now your father can finally rest assured, and he can sleep peacefully at night. ”

Father Lin listened to it at this time, and hurriedly stopped Aunt Shen, "Tell the child what are you doing, hurry up and go into the house, don't blow the child's face." ”

Aunt Shen hurriedly said, "Okay", but where can she enter the mansion like this, and there is an uncle's family next to her.

The carriage of the uncle's family was behind, and when they got off the carriage, Aunt Shen felt that she could not show her timidity when she first arrived in the capital, and when she walked to the mouth of the alley, she picked up the scope and cleaned herself up. She only cleaned up for herself, and felt that Uncle Shen's clothes were wrinkled all the way down, so let him change into a brocade robe and go down.

Uncle Shen didn't follow, Uncle Shen didn't let go, the two argued a few words, and it was a little late when they got out of the car.

In the back cars sat Shen Cheng's family, Shen Mingzhu's family, and Shen Baozhu and her maid.

It was also the first time to enter Beijing, so it was inevitable that they would be timid, and they all waited for the carriage to stop and pack up a little. After such a delay, when they got out of the car, Jinniang had already greeted Father Lin, and they didn't want to interject, so they waited by the side.

It was still Jin Niang who saw her uncle first, and quickly pulled Xuanxuan over to salute.

Uncle Shen is also in his fifties now, because the business is big, everything is quite smooth, and he looks high-spirited, but he is only about forty years old. However, in the end, she has been running around all year round, and her face is inevitably a little frosty, but on the whole, she knows that life is okay, which makes Jinniang feel relieved.

She also hopes that her uncle will have a good life, and her uncle will be kind to her, and he gave her a big dowry when she got married. When she was still living in Pingyang after she got married, her uncle would come to see her every time he passed by Pingyang to collect mountain goods, and no matter how bad it was, people would send her something.

Knowing that the Xu Mansion is a rich and noble family, her uncle has the heart to make face for her, so he does not send the ordinary mountain goods of fungus and mushrooms he receives to his family. If you want to send it, you can send fresh fawn cubs, which can be eaten and raised as a plaything to relieve boredom; No matter how bad it is, there are still some mountain treasures and medicinal herbs.

Anyway, my uncle picked up good things for her and tried to save face for her. To sum up, this uncle couldn't be better.

Of course, Jin Niang is "developed" and does not treat her uncle lightly. She is a person who respects me a foot, I respect people, and then I always send someone to send a generous gift during the New Year's holidays. Even in the county where my uncle is doing business, Jin Niang has also let Xu Erlang take care of it, so for so many years, my uncle's business has been so smooth and smooth, and there is also the role of Jin Niang and Xu Erlang. But things are well known to each other, but there is no need to say too clearly.

Compared with my uncle, my aunt looks younger, which shows that I have had a good time these years. However, the vitriol on her face was as good as ever, and even if her face was coated with a thick layer of fat powder, it could not hide the wrinkles on her face, and she seemed to be more acerbic as she got older.

When Uncle Shen saw his niece, he happily wanted to reach out and pat her on the shoulder. Worried that this was the girl who was married, the hand was raised and put down. Uncle Shen also said several times in succession, "Okay, okay." Knowing that you are living a good life, my uncle is relieved, but I always feel sorry that I didn't take a look at it in person. Now that I have seen it, my uncle just turned around and went over there to see your mother, and he also explained. ”

The eyes of everyone who said this were a little red, and they didn't know how to answer for a while. Uncle Shen patted his head, a little frustrated, "Look at what I said, I was too excited to see Jinniang, I was nonsense, Jinniang don't take it to heart." ”

Of course, Jin Niang didn't take it to heart, she just glanced at Father Lin and Aunt Shen with some concern. Father Lin and his original wife have a deep relationship, and if it weren't for the fact that he and Qing'er were taken care of when they were young, they wouldn't have continued the strings. And my father remarried Le Guining's aunt, and she has also had a good time over the years, but ...... Now seeing that Father Lin's eyes are a little stunned, and my aunt seems to be reminiscing about her eldest sister, her eyes are red, and her sister's mood has improved a lot.

Aunt Shen disliked Uncle Shen's inability to speak, so she squeezed him away. She grabbed Jin Niang's hand, "Hey, hey, I'll just say that our Jin Niang has a blessed appearance, and whoever marries Jin Niang will definitely make a fortune." Look, the Xu family is not up now. Our Jin Niang is really lucky, now we are all Mrs. Decree, I heard that the imperial court can still enter the palace every year to visit the Queen Mother, and there will be rewards from the palace......"

Uncle Shen scolded Aunt Shen, "What are you talking about?" ”

Aunt Shen was reprimanded and wanted to stare back, and remembered that someone else's niece was right in front of her, how could she give her man some face, so she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

However, she brought her children to the capital this time, nominally to attend Qing'er's wedding, but in fact, she had another purpose.

Over the years, my son has been taught by many famous teachers by them, and he finally barely won a show. If you want to take the test again, the masters all say that the child is not talented, so don't waste your efforts. If you have the money to do some people, it's better to buy an official directly.

She was also said to be excited, but the biggest official in Zhuyang County is also a seven-pin county magistrate. In the past, when they saw the county commander, they were all weak-legged, but after so many years, first the nephew and son-in-law got up, and then the sister-in-law won the jinshi, and then the nephew and son-in-law were released, and they were born from the third grade in three years.

Her mind is big, and the county order can't see it, let alone the other county officials below the county order. She pondered for a few days, and thought about writing a letter to see if she could use the light of her nephew and son-in-law to find a five- or six-grade Beijing official for her son.

The Beijing official is more decent than the county official, not to mention, he can earn more silver, if her son gets up in the future, she doesn't have to show off every time she goes out as a guest, and she will show off her son directly at that time.

This is also the reason why she didn't have a strong voice to let Qing'er marry Mingzhu after that, you must know that she had thought about it before, in order to force Qing'er to marry Mingzhu, she was ready to go to Liaodong to "talk about family affairs" with Jinniang in person. Later, he was moved by his son's words, knowing that it was not a business to catch up, so he put his mind down, so as not to get married but revenge.

In Aunt Shen's opinion, her decision not to marry Mingzhu was a concession, and the Lin family owed her. Since she owes her, she asked Jin Niang to repay this kindness, which is as it should be, not too much. So she was going to talk to Jinniang about it later. It would be better if he could arrange his son in the fat shortage, and even if it didn't work, it would not be too much to arrange it in the powerful yamen.

In short, no matter what, this time I must take care of my son's future.
