Lin House.

A man and a woman got up and down a carriage.

Lin Zhiqing said with a little twist: "Zhang Gongzi, why don't you, you visit my father and mother another day?" ”

Zhang Hanqing shook his head categorically, patted a bamboo box on the wheel and said: "Miss Lin, as the saying goes, you can strike iron while it's hot, and you can strike mud while it's water, it's better to hit the day than to hit the day. ”

Lin Zhiqing looked suspiciously at the bamboo box that had been held in his arms all the way, and he didn't even leave the thatched house, guessing that it might contain rare treasures, and he was embarrassed to ask what it was, so he had to nod shyly and murmured in a low voice: "Zhang Gongzi, I will go to the mansion to tell my father and mother, and you will enter the mansion again." ”

Zhang Hanqingyue nodded like pounding garlic, and waited obediently at the door of the Lin Mansion.

Lin Zhiqing knocked on the door knocker, and the little guy opened the door, first stunned, and when he saw that it was a young lady who had not returned for a year, he suddenly said excitedly: "Miss, is it you?" You're back?! ”

The little guy hurriedly opened the door of the house, and shouted directly: "Miss is back!" Miss is back, Miss is back from Yunqing Kingdom!! ”

This voice was not small, and it resounded throughout the entire Lin Mansion Mansion.

When Ling Yue heard this, she was the first to run out, her brother Lin Zhigang and sister-in-law Cao Ziyuan, and the nurse held the one-and-a-half-year-old Lin Tao to follow.

Father Lin was calmer, sitting in the banquet room and waiting, but his eyes kept looking out.

When Ling Yue saw her daughter, she hugged her daughter in her arms, her eyes were red.

After a long while, he held back his tears, looked behind Lin Zhiqing, and said suspiciously: "Zhiqing, where is Nu'er?" Didn't come back with you? ”

Lin Zhiqingle said: "Mother, Nu'er has married in Yunqing Country, Xianggong is the director of the Fire Dragon Bureau, and he is more than six months pregnant, so it is really inconvenient to travel back." ”

Lin Zhiqing patted the burden in his hand and said, "Nu'er asked me to bring you the special products of Yunqing Country!" ”

Ling Yue burst into tears and said with a smile: "I know that Yunqing Kingdom comes to the ship in May every year and returns in July and August, I didn't expect you to come back with you, great, the things of the year have passed, this time, don't go again!" ”

A touch of embarrassment flashed on Lin Zhiqing's face, and he said left and right: "Mother, do you know who is the leader of the Yunqing fleet this time?" It's my uncle, he went directly to the saint after entering Beijing, and I ran back first when I saw you in a hurry. ”

Ling Yue was surprised: "Big brother? ”

Lin Zhiqing continued to explain: "Yes, it's uncle. After I arrived in Yunqing by boat, I lived in my uncle's mansion, and my uncle was named Wang Lingwang with a different surname, and married an aunt and gave birth to a daughter, who is now three years old, named Jingchu, but cute. ”

The two mothers entered the banquet living room, and Lin Zhiqing saw his mother for the first time, with his mouth like a swallow, chattering endlessly.

Entering the living room, Father Lin sat there with a solemn face, and Lin Zhiqing didn't dare to say it presumptuously.

However, Father Lin was obviously very interested in the affairs of Yun Qing Kingdom, especially about matters related to his Hanlin Academy's cultivation.

Father Lin asked: "Zhiqing, where is the institution of Yunqing Kingdom to revise its own documents, is it also the Hanlin Academy or the Wenyuan Pavilion?" ”

Lin Zhiqing may not know anything else, but when she asks about things related to books, she is very straightforward.

Lin Zhiqing replied to Lin's father with confidence: "Dad, the institution that formulates the books in Yunqing Kingdom is not called the Hanlin Academy, but the National Book Company, and the editor-in-chief is equivalent to the envoy of the Hanlin Academy here, responsible for the editing of the books, in addition to compiling and distributing the geography of the Yunqing Kingdom, folk slang, religion and other related books, but also out recipes, scripts, etc., there are a lot of things, always writing until midnight, often writing and falling asleep......

Ling Yuehu said suspiciously: "Zhiqing, how do you know so much about the affairs of the bookstore, and you also know that people work until midnight?" ”

Lin Zhiqing: "......"

Lin Zhiqing panicked and hurriedly explained: "My uncle is in charge of the bookstore, and he often comes home late......"

Ling Yue didn't doubt that he had him, and continued to chat, and this chat lasted until noon.

Lin Zhiqing looked at the sky and was a little anxious.

Ling Yue became suspicious again and asked, "Zhiqing, what are you looking out for?" ”

Lin Zhiqing gritted his teeth and said to Father Lin: "Dad, aren't you interested in the 'Hanlin Academy' of Yunqing Kingdom?" The editor-in-chief of the National Book Company of Yunqing Kingdom is asking to see you outside our door! ”

"Huh?" Father Lin was taken aback, and then said with joy: "The editor-in-chief of the Yunqing National Book Company came to see me in person?" ”

Father Lin immediately stood up, tidied up the clothes on his body, felt that some folds on them were uneven, and trotted to the backyard to change new clothes.

Lin Zhiqing: "......"

Lin Zhiqing secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that after seeing Zhang Hanqing for a while, his father would also have this kind of favorite attitude.

After waiting for the change of clothes, Lin Zhiqing remembered that it was past noon, and hurriedly said to his subordinates: "Quickly prepare a table and wait for the table, you can't lose the etiquette of our Great Qi Country!! ”

The subordinate hurriedly ran down and hurriedly prepared.

Lin Zhiqing took Father Lin to the gate of the courtyard, pointed to the young man in front of the carriage and said, "Dad, this is Zhang Hanqing and Editor-in-Chief Zhang." ”

Father Lin stepped forward and saluted: "Editor-in-chief Zhang came to the cold house, and he was disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

Zhang Hanqing hurriedly returned the salute and said to the end: "Seeing my uncle's true face, I am terrified and ashamed." ”

Father Lin once again said to the end: "Editor-in-chief Zhang is visiting, Peng is shining, and Yumen is celebrating. ”

Zhang Hanqing said again: "Uncle father welcomes, and the younger generation is happy and encouraged. ”

Father Lin wanted to do it again, Ling Yue coughed lightly and shook his head.

Father Lin realized that if he and Zhang Hanqing continued to be so polite, they could stay polite until the evening.

Father Lin let the guests into the living room and let the maid pour tea.

Seeing that Lin Zhiqing was still grinding in the living room and refusing to leave, Father Lin immediately glanced at Ling Yue, meaning: There is a foreign man here, Zhiqing, a girl waiting for the word boudoir, what is he doing in the living room?

Ling Yue "escorted" Lin Zhiqing and took Cao Ziyuan into the inner house.

Entering the house, Cao Ziyuan couldn't help but ask: "Zhiqing, is this Zhang Hanqing your favorite person?" Did he come to Daddy because of you? ”

Lin Zhiqing blushed and nodded.

Ling Yue was surprised: "This Zhang Hanqing is pleased with you?" It won't be a door-to-door proposal, right? ”

Lin Zhiqing nodded again, his head almost lowered between his legs.

Ling Yue sighed and said, "This kid, how can he come empty-handed to propose marriage?" ”

Lin Zhiqing shook his head violently and said, "Mother, no empty hands, no empty hands." Didn't you see him holding a bamboo box? He said that he had brought all his wealth with him, and that he wanted to show his father his determination to marry me. ”

Ling Yue's complexion was much better, and she said to Lin Zhiqing: "Silly boy, you are a woman, you can't let the man see that you are too rushed, otherwise if you marry into your mother-in-law's family, your mother-in-law will not pay attention to it." ”

Lin Zhiqing shook his head and said: "Mother, their family is very good, as soon as I go to their house, his grandmother will tell me about the stinky things of Han Qing when he was a child; His grandmother gave me a little song from their hometown; His mother killed chickens and fish for me; Han Qing, just tell me about the words he wrote, it's okay. ”

Ling Yue pinched her daughter's waist and eyes and said, "Dead girl! Are you a girl in your boudoir, what are you doing running to an unmarried man's house? Don't want fame anymore? ”

Lin Zhiqing pouted when he heard this: "Fame, fame, my mother knows fame." In the State of Qi, the first queen wrote the "Female Commandment", not letting women do that, not letting women do here; In Yunqing Kingdom, the queen mother wrote "Women's Rights", and women can not only show their heads outside, but also be female officials! ”

Ling Yue and Cao Ziyuan were surprised at the same time: "A woman, can you also be an official?" ”

Lin Zhiqing said firmly: "Yes, the teacher I have already applied for the exam, that is, the gentleman of our private school here, if I pass the exam, I can go to the women's academy to teach women's literacy and arithmetic, and I can take it every month!" ”

......

Ling Yue and Cao Ziyuan were like dirt buns who had never seen the world, and they were shocked when they heard it, and they felt that Yunqing Kingdom was really amazing.

The three of them were chatting, and the old servant ran over, looking panicked: "Miss, take a look, the master and the guest are quarreling." ”

Lin Zhiqing rushed to the meeting room like an arrow from a string.
