Chapter 442: Complimenting each other
Lin Yubin wanted to build a women's school in Wenyuan, and Steward Lin sent someone to start work without frowning when they knew about it.
My aunt and grandmother have said that everything in the family will be given to the eldest lady in the future, so naturally the eldest lady will do whatever she wants.
Construction began in February, and the excess fruit trees on the enclosed land were cut down according to the design drawings, leaving some for landscaping and greenery.
During the period, it was stopped for a few days because of spring ploughing, but it was also built in early May, and then it was enrolled, but at present, except for a few families with good backgrounds, no one came to sign up.
The most important thing is that the students were not recruited, and the husband was not recruited.
Steward Lin and Steward Zhong both felt that the eldest lady's female school was about to collapse.
So when Lin Qingwan asked, Steward Lin was so weak-hearted and tried hard to exonerate Lin Yubin.
Lin Qingwan had no intention of interfering too much, and after asking about the situation, she put the matter aside and said, "Don't tell Yubin that I ask about it, let her do what she wants." ”
Steward Lin was relieved to see that she didn't mean to blame.
Lin Qingwan got up and said, "Let's go, first send someone to the Lin Mansion to inform you, and say that I am back." ”
Steward Lin answered and immediately sent someone to inform him.
Lin Qingwan took people and things to slowly pass behind her.
When they arrived at the Lin Mansion, Shang Mingjie was helping Lin Yubin to stand outside the gate and look, Lin Qingwan hurriedly got out of the car and blamed: "I'm not a child, how can you come out with such a big belly?" ”
"Auntie, Dr. Xu said to let me move around more," Lin Yubin happily hugged her arm and said happily: "And I also want to see you sooner." ”
Lin Qingwan tapped her nose, then held her hand and said, "Okay, just be careful in and out." ”
Lin Qingwan turned her head to look at Shang Mingjie and asked, "What about the old lady?" ”
"Grandmother and Mrs. Yang are waiting in the main hall," Shang Mingjie led the way in front and said, "The eldest brother followed the caravan to Youzhou, and I originally thought that my aunt might meet the eldest brother, but I didn't expect you to come back at this time." ”
"That's not a coincidence." Lin Qingwan said: "You came back early, and I didn't have time to ask you how you handled the affairs of the Domain." ”
She said: "I asked other people in the court, and they all said hello. ”
"It's the bosses who lifted it," Shang Mingjie bowed slightly and said, "I only did what my aunt explained, because of the strategy set by my aunt, I didn't make a big mistake." So the bosses looked at me, but it was because there was little contact. ”
Lin Qingwan bowed, "You don't have any intentions, so it's not wrong to do so." ”
She tilted her head slightly and said, "I heard that this year you have started to recruit regular students for the Seeking Knowledge Garden. ”
"Yes, there are only one hundred and sixty-two people at present, and I and several gentlemen have produced several sets of test papers according to their wishes, and divided people into various classes, and more people will be recruited in the future."
Lin Qingwan nodded, "It's good for you to do this, even if these people don't go out of office in the future, they will make a difference in various fields, and this is the pillar of the country." ”
Shang Mingjie grinned and glanced at Yubin proudly, Yubin couldn't help but smile and secretly scratched his palm.
Lin Qingwan pretended not to see the small movements of the two of them, and when she saw the old lady Shang standing at the second gate, she hurriedly walked a few steps quickly, and said with a smile: "Why did the old lady come here, the sun is big, it should be me to go in and ask you for peace." ”
Old Madam Shang held her hand and said with the same smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, her aunt doesn't know, how much I miss you in my heart." ”
Mrs. Yang stood aside with a smile, Lin Qingwan exchanged a few words with Mrs. Shang, and then bowed to Mrs. Yang, "Is mother okay?" ”
"Okay, good," Mrs. Yang grabbed her and smiled: "The old lady and I drink tea and listen to the drama every day, what's wrong?" On the contrary, it was you, who went deep into the enemy camp, and we were all terrified to hear it from behind, and you kid was too risky. ”
"Isn't it," the group returned to the inner room, and as soon as Mrs. Shang sat down on the couch, she said: "A few children help you hide from us, this peace talk is over, and we only heard about it when rumors began to spread in Suzhou, otherwise we would have been kept in the dark." ”
Old Madam Shang glared at Shang Mingjie with disgust and said, "This kid too, I don't know how to follow Aunt Lin to fulfill my filial piety, but I stayed in the capital by myself." ”
"The old lady misunderstood Mingjie, I asked him to stay in the capital," Lin Qingwan said: "I'm on the front line, and there must be a trustworthy person in the rear, not to mention anything else, he has to guarantee my supplies in Youzhou, so he kept Mingjie." ”
Old Madam Shang sighed, "According to what my aunt said, Ming Jie did okay this time?" ”
Lin Qingwan nodded and smiled: "That's natural, as soon as I returned to the capital, several elders praised him to me." ”
"Then why did he come home, I thought he was going to stay in the capital to serve."
Lin Qingwan smiled and said: "It's not difficult for Mingjie to become an official, but the Lifan Academy mostly deals with affairs related to various countries, so it is not good that he will be sent to various countries." It is also my selfishness, now that there are constant disputes in various countries, and it is too dangerous to go on a business trip, so I didn't give him a job job, lest he be hand-picked by His Majesty to enter the Imperial Court. ”
Thinking that Daliang was now fighting with the Chu State, Mrs. Shang immediately said: "Yes, yes, whether this is in the capital, or if you go back to Jiangnan to be an official, it is safe, if you want to go to a foreign country like last time and be assassinated, it will really cost us our lives." ”
Old Madam Shang glanced at Lin Yubin's stomach again and said, "What's more, Yubin is still pregnant now." ”
Lin Qingwan nodded thoughtfully, "So I said wait, anyway, I am now the scholar of the Li Fan Academy, and he has a meritorious reputation, and when he has the opportunity, it is still easy to recommend him to become an official." ”
Old Madam Shang put her mind at ease, took Lin Qingwan's hand and said with a smile: "It's hard for her aunt, and she has been letting you worry about a few children." ”
Lin Qingwan smiled and said: "I only have Yubin, a niece and daughter, and Mingjie is also something I grew up watching, and as an elder, his heart for his children is the same." ”
Old Madam Shang nodded thoughtfully, then glanced at Shang Danju, who was standing silently aside, and sighed: "It's a pity that the children may not know our hearts." ”
Lin Qingwan also glanced at Shang Danju and said, "But then again, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, we are not them, how can we know their hearts?" So, I'm going to pave the way for them, and it's up to them how they want to go in the future. ”
Lin Qingwan patted her hand and said earnestly: "Living this life is like a person who knows how cold and warm he is when he drinks water." ”
It's not that Mrs. Shang doesn't know this, but she just can't let it go, for fear that they have little experience, make a wrong decision at this time, and regret it in the future.
"Okay, just listen to the two of you who have grandchildren and nephews who are worried here, let me be a cold bench here." Madame Yang interrupted them with a loud voice.
Lin Qingwan leaned over, hugged her arm and said with a smile: "Doesn't my mother have me, I am just like your daughter, and you are also worried about me." ”
"Where are you worrying about me," Mrs. Yang nodded her forehead and smiled: "You have a delicate heart, before we can worry, you have already done everything." ”
Mrs. Shang also smiled and said, "If these children in my family have one-tenth of Aunt Lin's ability, I will leave immediately and feel at ease." ”
"So just for the sake of the old lady's longevity, we can't be too smart," Shang Mingjie turned his head and asked Lin Yubin, "Cousin, did you say?" ”
Lin Yubin nodded approvingly.
Old Madam Shang couldn't help laughing, and held Lin Yubin's hand with pity and love: "Your body is getting heavier, don't come here these days, I'll go over to see you." ”
Lin Qingwan took the opportunity to ask, "Can you find a stable woman?" ”
"I found it," Mrs. Shang said: "I invited the former stable woman, very experienced, and the delivery room has also been cleaned up. ”
Several people discussed Lin Yubin's belly, and then Lin Qingwan went to rest, she didn't plan to go back to live in another hospital, Lin Yubin was pregnant, she naturally wanted to stay here and watch.
The people in the Lin Mansion also naturally divided the things that Lin Qingwan brought back, and those that should be sent to each room were sent to each room, and those that should be placed in Lin Qingwan's house were all arranged one by one according to Bai Feng's instructions.
The affairs of the mansion are still as usual, managed by Lin Yubin and Shang Danju, and Lin Qingwan's courtyard is a courtyard of its own and is not under its management.
In the evening, the family picked up the wind and washed the dust for Lin Qingwan, but the second Mrs. Shang did not appear.
Since Lin Qingwan came back to the present, she has not appeared, and Lin Qingwan asked once in the middle, and Mrs. Shang said: "She is not in good health, she is resting in the house, and she is afraid of giving it to Yubin, and she will talk about it when she is better." ”
Shang Mingjie's face was a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Yang nodded with a smile, followed Lin Qingwan when she went back to the house to wash, and said, "You don't have to worry about Yubin's mother-in-law, don't say that the old lady is pressing her, the old lady is not pressing her, and she is not courted by Yubin." ”
Lin Qingwan asked Bai Feng to remove her hair, "What did Yubin do?" ”
"I didn't do anything, as soon as you took Shang Mingjie away, she began to come out and walk around, and she didn't stay in the Buddha hall often. Yubin is filial, and when she saw that the old lady was bored at home, she often invited the female gentleman to come to the door to tell the old lady, she listened to it a few times, and then began to point out the Yubin housekeeper. ”
Mrs. Yang smiled and said: "It's just that the people in this mansion are all from your Lin family, where is she commanding, Yubin also has her own charter, she made a few troubles, and was blocked back by Yubin who was neither soft nor hard, so she was a little angry." ”
Lin Qingwan spread her hair and asked with a smile, "So you angered the old lady?" ”
Mrs. Yang smiled and nodded, "The old lady understands in her heart that you won't take those little stumbling blocks to heart, but if you hurt Yubin, you will definitely not give up, so without waiting for her to make a move, the old lady locked people up first, and she didn't release them until the third girl of the Shang family got married." ”
"If she doesn't show up today, she should be in a temper tantrum again," Mrs. Yang said: "Her heart is getting weaker and weaker, and she is cowardly and timid, so you don't have to worry." ”
Lin Qingwan nodded, and Mrs. Yang asked, "By the way, Mrs. Shang has always wanted to ask if Shang Ping is okay in Dingzhou?" ”
Lin Qingwan was stunned, Shang Ping?
Oh yes, Shang Ping was exiled to Dingzhou.
