She pressed it, put on a smile, and said, "A few yards have been rested, you and your nephews and nieces should freshen up first." After a family banquet, I still remember that my sister-in-law had a sweet appetite...... Last year, a splendid soup came out of the palace, and my sister-in-law should like it. ”

"It's hard for you to remember." Mrs. Lin nodded with a smile, let go of Xiao Li's hand, and said, "I still know the way, you can go busily." ”

"I'll let Laurel follow you."

Xiao Li pointed to the big girl who was followed by the red bicarapace. When the big girl heard this, she should have saluted like Mrs. Lin. She is only above average in appearance, she is a round-faced girl, taller than the average girl, she smiles generously, and she looks very capable at first glance.

Looking at the other maid next to Xiao Li's side, who was also a tall man with a round face, Mrs. Lin knew it in her heart, but she didn't say anything, so she didn't say anything for the time being, and walked towards the pine forest courtyard led by the laurel.

Yuegui spoke well, pointed out the scenery along the way, and talked to Mrs. Lin. In her mouth, she not only pointed out the old scenery and old objects that had not changed in the past ten years, and sighed and recalled with Mrs. Lin, but also introduced the new scenery in the past ten years, and explained the reasons for the changes in detail.

Also, this Lin Mansion, no matter how long Mrs. Lin has been gone, whether it has been in the hands of Mrs. Lin or managed by Xiao Li's family in the past ten years, Mrs. Lin is the head of this mansion, there is no doubt about it!

When Yue Gui said this, she obviously made her master's attitude clear: Xiao Li never wanted to fight with Mrs. Lin, and would never block her. Even if Xiao Li has such a "backer" as the old lady, she never thought about half a point.

When the family arrived at the Songlin Courtyard and sent the laurel away, Mama Feng commanded a few maids to serve the masters to clean their faces and comb their faces, and then changed their coats before sitting down in the side hall of the main room of the Songlin Courtyard.

Songlin Courtyard and Lin Huijia's Yumo Xuan, before Mrs. Lin and the others returned to Beijing, Mama Feng and Mother Wen beside Lin Huijia brought a few people back in advance and arranged the two courtyards first. Other people's, to a new yard and new layout, of course, to take your time, by myself to see the more suitable and satisfied.

Lin Huijia didn't go to her Yumo Xuan for the time being.

She changed into a lake-green coat, her hair was loosened and only slightly curled, and the broken hair on her forehead was fixed with a gold grate, and her forehead was exposed, smooth and moving.

Lin Minjia changed into an orange-yellow gown in late autumn, but she was lazy and crooked, less angry than before, and looked listless.

"Mother." Lin Huijia flicked her hand, divided the tea for everyone, and personally brought a cup to Mrs. Lin.

The yellow soup is clear and has a warm aroma.

Mrs. Lin took it, glanced around at her sisters and brothers, waved her hand to let the people in the room leave, and then said softly: "What, do you feel wronged?" ”

"We're going back to our own home, and how we get it depends on people's faces! It's as if we're from poor relatives who don't want to come to us! Lin Minjia was indignant and extremely unhappy.

"Hui'er, what do you think?" Mrs. Lin asked.

Lin Huijia thought for a while and said, "Mother, you always say that famous families have the most important face. No matter what you think in your heart, you always have to get by on face...... But the old lady ...... She didn't hide it at all. ”

"Yi'er, what do you think?" Mrs. Lin did not forget her little daughter.

"The old lady didn't like our family. We came back and she wasn't happy. Lin Yijia said bluntly.

Mrs. Lin was very relieved when she heard this, touched Lin Yijia's head, and said, "What Yi'er said is right. The old lady is not your father's mother, and it is human nature that she is not close to our family. As for what Hui'er said......"

She paused, thought for a while, and then said, "The old lady rarely goes out, except for going to the Yaowang Temple once a year, she doesn't go out of the Lin Mansion on weekdays." And since we left Beijing, the Lin Mansion has never held a decent banquet......"

"Father and mother are gone, without your name, even if the old lady holds a banquet, who can be invited!" Lin Minjia said disdainfully.

"Min'er!" Mrs. Lin sank her face and scolded: "Listen to your tone, do you look down on your grandfather, or look down on your second master!" They just don't like officialdom! Your father and I have been teaching you for so long, why are you still so biased! ”

"But that's the truth!" Lin Minjia was a little aggrieved.

Mrs. Lin took a deep breath, suppressed her temper, softened her voice, and said in a deep voice: "I don't care what others think, but you Lin Minjia is my daughter, so you can't look at people like this!" is only staring at the official position, and I don't know it even if I am blind! ”

Lin Minjia was about to say something, but when she saw Lin Huijia's eyes, she closed her mouth unwillingly.

Mrs. Lin rubbed her head, not knowing how to preach. Thinking of what her husband said, if Lin Jiakang was allowed not to go to the imperial examination, he couldn't help but be a little discouraged - even his own daughter thought so, and others were not......

Lin Yijia rolled her eyes and said in a coquettish voice: "Grandfather is not an official, but he is very powerful?" The second uncle is not an official, so he seems to be quite powerful, right? I've heard that everyone in the capital knows him! Also, in the future, if my younger brother is not an official and becomes a master of painting, will he be unproductive? ”

Saying that, Lin Yijia pulled Lin Jiakang and said, "Brother, tell me, do you want to be a big official in the future?" If you are an official, you will definitely not be able to paint wholeheartedly! ”

Lin Jiakang didn't know how the topic was brought to him all of a sudden, and he never thought about the future, and this topic was so heavy that he couldn't help but be stunned.

Be an official? It seems that there is nothing ...... to be an official But as an official, if you are like your father, you have a lot of government affairs to deal with every day, and you are very busy, as if you really don't have time to paint...... If you don't paint...... Don't paint......

Seeing Lin Jiakang's struggling face, Mrs. Lin hurriedly said, "Kang'er, you are still young now, this problem is not urgent. No matter what the future holds, you must read the book now. Not to mention that your grandfather is Xie Yuan, it is your second uncle, when he was taking the Xiucai exam, he was also the first place that year! If you really have the ability, you can stand upright, and you can not be afraid of other people's words, do you understand? ”

Lin Jiakang stood up solemnly: "My son understands." My son will study hard. ”

Seeing that his son really listened, Dr. Lin was slightly relieved. She really didn't know how to raise this issue with him. Fortunately, it has been exposed by Xiaoliu now......

As for Lin Yijia, she pouted and muttered, "It's good to draw." Like Master Zhang of the previous dynasty, he couldn't ask for a painting. In the future, if you draw well, give me a few hundred photos, and I will be a family heirloom! ”

Belch...... Lin Jiakang's forehead jumped wildly, and he couldn't help but shake off Lin Yijia, and said in a low voice: "Hundreds of sheets, you should practice big characters!" No! ”

"Why not!" Lin Yijia didn't do it: "Don't think about being lazy!" ”

"You're lazy! You compare yourself, compare with the eldest sister, compare with the third sister...... Are you the laziest! You're embarrassed to say it! In the face of Lin Yijia, Lin Jiakang is always not as calm and calm as in front of others, and he can't help but have to fight for will.

"My ......" was revealed, Lin Yijia was a little weak-hearted, her shiny little eyes glanced around, and said weakly: "I'm small......"

You can't be any younger than me...... When this sentence came to his mouth, he was swallowed alive by Lin Jiakang. He knew that even if he said it, his young lady would only sarcastically say that "men are really good compared to women...... In the end, I must have been more depressed......

Lin Jiakang took a deep breath, ignored Lin Yijia, and sat down. was so troubled by Lin Yijia, and his originally unclear will suddenly became clear: he would never like to be a big official. He couldn't give up painting!

Watching the children make trouble, Mrs. Lin's little depression about the future of her only son was also a little loosened. Do you want to talk to your husband again in the evening? The education of his son is generally his ...... Her gaze fell on Lin Minjia again, who got up and said solemnly: "Mother, I was wrong." ”

"Although the atmosphere in the capital is like this," Lin Minjia said, "we should also have our own judgment in our hearts." Instead of following the crowd and falling into a snob. ”

"Yes. You're right. Mrs. Lin nodded when she heard this, very pleased.
