"I'm leaving." Chen Zhenyi said softly.

Lin Yuan'er didn't take it to heart when she heard this, and asked, "Really?" Where to buy a house? How big? ”

Chen Zhenyi shook her head: "Yuan'er, I haven't seen a particularly suitable house yet." Moreover, I'm leaving Shengjing. ”

Lin Yuan'er looked up in surprise, a trace of displeasure rose in her heart, frowned, and blurted out: "Didn't we say that we would settle in Shengjing before we came?" How long will it take for you to go back to Fuzhou? If you want to go, you go, I won't go. ”

After the last sentence was finished, Lin Yuan'er suddenly remembered the chaos and embarrassment of these days, and almost for a moment wanted to follow Chen Zhenyi away from Shengjing and away from this place of right and wrong...... But she just bit her lip lightly and didn't make a sound.

Chen Zhenyi's eyes showed a hint of loss, and she bowed her head and said, "It's me who wants to leave Shengjing." ”

Lin Yuan'er finally noticed the abnormality, sat up slightly straighter, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Chen Zhenyi said: "I have a reputation for raising people, do you know this Yuan'er?" ”

Lin Yuan'er nodded.

At the beginning, Chen Zhenyi was the son who went to Beijing to catch the exam, and met Lin Yuaner by chance, and after several twists and turns, she married Lin Yuaner back to Fuzhou. Of course, he didn't have high school. Since then, he has been guarding Lin Yuan'er in Fuzhou, and he has never tried to enter Beijing again.

"Back then, after I was lifted, as a rule, I also prepared a case in the government." There was some bitterness in Chen Zhenyi's words. He smiled bitterly: "Three days ago, I received a letter of appointment from the Ministry of Officials, appointing me to a small county town in the northwest to be a county magistrate and a seven-rank official. ”

Lin Yuan'er immediately understood something. His face couldn't help but change.

Although the lifter has the qualifications to be an official, there are thousands of lifters in the country, where is there so many positions for these lifters? They left their names on the application for reserve officials, and if they didn't open up the joints and find the right time, they were afraid that they would not be able to wait for the appointment letter appointed by the imperial court for the rest of their lives. And now? The officials actually found Chen Zhenyi, who left an application more than ten years ago, and directly gave him a parental official! You must know that even those who move up and down, almost all of them are the lowest official positions without rank! And the prefectural order is seven products!

If there is no strange thing in this, then there is a ghost!

What about it? Chen Zhenyi has no intention of being an official at all. I have long forgotten the application of the year, not to mention that there will be activities such as finding relationships and giving gifts and treats!

Of course, Chen Zhenyi noticed the change in Lin Yuan'er's expression, and her eyes were full of pain. He closed his eyes, as if he was asking Lin Yuan'er, and as if he was muttering: "Is that what he meant?" After so many years, even An Zhidu is nine years old. He ......"

"I just said, we shouldn't come to Shengjing......"

When she received this letter of appointment at first glance, Chen Zhenyi was surprised and immediately wanted to refuse. But what he didn't expect was that there was an official of the ministry who met him at the same time. There is also an attendant. Seeing the chamberlain looking at him with a strange look, Chen Zhenyi's head rumbled at that time. And then...... And then, what else did he not understand?

The meaning of the ministry is, of course, that he will not be allowed to refuse.

After Chen Zhenyi came out of the yamen of the ministry, she held a fire in her chest, walked back to the Lin Mansion in one breath, and walked to the Rongxi Hall with her head down...... But in front of Rongxi Hall, he retreated. He wanted to question Lin Yuan'er. But in my heart, I knew that I didn't have the courage to speak at all......

It's been three days.

After three days of tossing and suffering, Chen Zhenyi dared to appear in front of Lin Yuan'er. can also be like now, appear very calm, without roaring angrily.

Lin Yuan'er's fingers were white, and she didn't know when she had bitten her lip.

Chen Zhenyi took a deep breath and looked at Lin Yuan'er deeply. Lin Yuan'er seemed to feel that there was a boundless surging pain in her eyes that wanted to drown her deeply, suffocating and unable to breathe.

She staggered her gaze.

Chen Zhenyi closed her eyes, covered up all the pain, and said softly: "Yuan'er, it turns out that you have already met......

Lin Yuan'er subconsciously wanted to deny it, but Chen Zhenyi said again: "Yuan'er, do you know? Once upon a time, whenever I mentioned you and that person, whenever I mentioned it, although you would not quarrel with me, you would be obviously angry and ignore me for many days, and I would not be allowed to set foot in your door...... I remember, at most, you didn't look at me for thirty-eight days, just as if I was air......"

"But what about today?"

Today, Chen Zhenyi said so much, but Lin Yuan'er barely reacted...... At least, she wasn't angry......

"Yuan'er, your heart is empty." After Chen Zhenyi finished saying these words, he stood up and said, "The appointment letter stipulates that I must arrive within a month. Remove the time on the road...... I'm going to leave early the day after tomorrow. Yuan'er, if it is...... I hope you'll send me ...... then."

Chen Zhenyi's request is really very humble and pitiful, but it also carries a sense of determination. With that, he turned and left the room. At first, he walked very, very slowly, as if his body suddenly weighed a thousand pounds. After finally stepping out of the door, Chen Zhenyi paused, and then strode out.

Lin Yuan'er sat there and never said a word.

Chen Zhenyi was going to leave Beijing to take up his post, and as soon as the news came, it shocked everyone in the Lin Mansion. And the more keen, after being shocked, saw the different colors in each other's eyes, and closed their mouths in amusement.

Originally, such a departure was to be practiced by a banquet.

The Lin Mansion also arranged a banquet that night.

The banquet was full of laughter and laughter. It's just that the men only talked about the customs and geography in the northwest, or the experience of governing the people for the government and the people, etc., and no one in the Lin family said "Daoxi", only Chen Qingzhi and Chen Anzhi of the Chen family did not know what to do, and raised their glasses to congratulate their father.

During the banquet, Mr. Lin was drunk.

He waved his arms, pointed to the top of his head, and said drunkenly, "I knew that guy wasn't a good thing!" Ha! Look what he's playing! At that time, when I saw him, I thought he was not a good thing! ”

After that, Old Man Lin patted Chen Zhenyi's shoulder hard, and suddenly burst into tears: "I really don't know, I chose you, and I will hurt you in the end...... It's all my fault...... I knew it earlier...... I knew ...... earlier."

I knew that the Lin family would not marry their daughter into the royal family!

Chen Zhenyi helped Old Man Lin, glanced at the women's seat with a complicated expression, and said to Old Man Lin: "Father, you don't have to be like this...... Even if I knew that there would be today, I thought, I would have been willing. ”

When Old Man Lin heard this, he cried more and more.

Chen Qingzhi and Chen Anzhi felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this practice banquet - what did Old Man Lin mean by those words? Didn't he cry with joy?!

"Cousin, why did my grandfather ......" Chen Qingzhi asked the Lin family.

Since the news spread that Chen Zhenyi was suddenly going to take up a foreign post, the Lin family has been told about the past by the elders. But the children of the Chen family are obviously still kept in the dark.

Lin Jiahan was hesitating and didn't know what to say, so he heard Lin Shiqing explain: "Your father was also a teenager back then, and he was only twenty when he was lifted. Although he didn't succeed in the first exam, he took it a few more times, and he would definitely be on the list one day. However, because he married your mother, he never went to Beijing to take the exam again...... That's why the old man blames himself for delaying your father......"

Such an explanation can barely make sense.

Even if Chen Qingzhi's brother has any doubts, it is not good to get to the bottom of it at this time, so he can only keep it in his heart for a while, and wait to ask his father when he goes back.

On the women's seat here, Mrs. Lin showed a rare smile. She smiled and said to Lin Yuan'er, "Isn't this very good?" He became an official, and several children became officials. When it comes to marriage in the future, the benefits are not half a star! ”

Lin Yuan'er nodded perfunctorily.

At this time, Li Yueying quietly poked Chen Wanzhi: "What did the old lady say about you...... Alas, cousin Wan, you are now an official lady, and you will naturally be ...... in the future But I only have two older brothers, and I can't count on them......"

When Chen Wanzhi heard this, her face showed some smiles, but she didn't know what she thought of, so she squinted her eyes again. She rolled her eyes and whispered to Li Yueying: "Cousin Yueying, you are also living in the Lin Mansion now." Well, in the future, with the help of our sisters, what are you worried about? ”

"That's what Cousin Wan said." Li Yueying smiled lowly, but she pondered in her heart-

The meaning of Chen Wanzhi's words was revealed, but she was the daughter of the seven-rank sesame official and the daughter of the Lin Mansion side by side! Well, even if she is very beautiful, but the daughter of a seventh-grade official, can she still marry into the county king's mansion?

If Chen Wanzhi didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, then she would ...... Where does self-confidence come from?

Lin Yijia didn't hear the ear-biting words between the two girls, but when Mrs. Lin said that, her voice was deliberately amplified, and everyone present heard it. Lin Yijia listened to it in her ears, and in addition to sighing in her heart, she still sighed - she really felt that she had nothing to say......

Lin Yijia sat with Lin Huijia.

Lin Yijia asked in a very low voice: "Big sister, you say, Cousin Wan's marriage, will it go well?" ”

Those who have a heart, of course, will know what unspeakable things have happened. In that case, would anyone really want to marry such a troublesome family? As far as Lin Yijia thinks, Mrs. Lin must be unwilling......

Lin Huijia pursed her lips and whispered her opinion: "I think we still need to wait and see." If it is the one in the future, what will he do, which means that he values his aunt...... At that time, there were many speculative campers who wanted to climb up. ”

Lin Yijia nodded.

It's just that if it really comes to that time, my aunt still lives in the Lin Mansion, okay? (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
