Reborn as a farmhouse concubine, she raises a prince and is busy farming

Chapter 107 The Scholar

Lin Wenguang frowned and said, "Mom, what you said doesn't sound good."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lin Zhang softened her tone a little and did not say any more unpleasant words.

The officials frowned and left, but Mrs. Lin Zhang didn't pay much attention. She turned around and asked excitedly: "Then will the court distribute food to our family in the future?"

Lin Wenguang nodded: "Yes, it is said that each person has one stone of food a month and five taels of salary a year."

Ms. Lin Zhang happily counted on her fingers: "Fifty taels, our family is finally getting better!"

"Okay, okay, mother, go kill the chicken!"

The old man stared at Lin Wenguang with wide eyes, nodded and praised: "Wow, you have become a scholar! Now that you have been rewarded by the court, you have to work harder."

"Dad, don't worry, I won't be satisfied with being a scholar."

After hearing this, Mr. Lin nodded to express his understanding.

Then, I heard Mrs. Lin Zhang shouting in the house: "Oh, my brother-in-law is back!"

Lin Wenguang heard movement behind him and quickly turned around. He saw his sister-in-law tremblingly walking out of the house, looking weak. He was so frightened that his heart pounded: "Sister-in-law, what's going on?"

"It's ok."

Lin Qianshi forced a smile and said, "If you win the top prize, you will be in high spirits during happy events. We have a talented brother-in-law at home, and Ming'er can also benefit from it. When I think of this, my illness is driven away by the joy."

Lin Wenguang's heart felt a little heavy, but he still nodded: "Yes, a family should support each other."

"Wen Guang, you are tired. Today, my mother will make you some delicious food to replenish your health. Lin Qian, why don't you go in quickly? Your body is not healed yet. Don't get any bad luck. Your illness is not healed yet. Then don’t affect Wen Guang.”

Lin Wenguang felt a little uncomfortable when he heard that. Before he could speak, Lin Qian had already entered the room consciously, for fear of causing trouble to Lin Wenguang and affecting Ming'er's future.

Mrs. Lin Zhang walked towards a house in the village that specialized in raising chickens and said in a loud voice, "Choose the fattest chicken for me!"

The owner's reaction was quite strange, because he knew that Lin Zhang was famous for being stingy in Shiliba Village.

"Hey, why do you suddenly want to eat chicken today? Is your boss planning to give you another grandchild?"

The hostess of the house joked.

"Haha, I have been selected as a scholar. This is a great event!"

"This is the pride of our Wenguang family. Look, we have to stew this fat chicken to make it delicious."

"Yes, yes, yes!! This happy event needs to be celebrated properly. Come on, I'll call the old man out right now."

"Old man, come out and catch chickens. Today is a happy day!"

"Old man, stop dragging your feet. Our village only produces a scholar every ten or eight years. Today is the glory of the Lin family!"

Mrs. Lin Zhang's face was radiant, and her heart was filled with joy: "That's because Wen Guang of my family is outstanding. He knows the way of self-improvement. If it were anyone else, even if he consulted the Master day and night, he might not be able to understand the true meaning."

Her words were full of pride, and at the same time she implied that Lin Chujiu and his family were beyond their reach.

The woman just smiled faintly and didn't answer.

At this time, the old man walked out of the house.

"How about this chicken?" He took out a chicken from the cage and showed it to Lin Zhang.

"This chicken looks very fat, shouldn't it be thin?"

"Oh, don't worry! I never lie to others. Seeing as this chicken's feet are so thick, they definitely won't lose weight!"

"Well, that's good. I want this chicken, but you have to make it cheaper for me." The woman murmured in her heart, thinking that Mrs. Lin Zhang was too stingy, but she still had to smile on the surface. After all, Lin Wenguang has now become a scholar and enjoys the treatment of the imperial court.

I heard that there is still one stone of food every month and every year!

What's more, we ordinary people don't dare to fight with officials. Although she doesn't like Lin Zhang's petty attitude, she has to admit that as long as Lin Wenguang is around, we can't offend others easily.

This time, Lao Lin's family really flew up the branches and turned into a phoenix.

After buying the chicken, Mrs. Lin Zhang walked around the village with it, as if she was afraid that others would not see it.

The villagers felt strange when they saw this, so they asked her: "Old Lin's family, are you going to kill chickens?"

She replied triumphantly: "Yes, my youngest son has made his mark and has become a scholar. I want to celebrate him properly!"

Along the way, Mrs. Lin and Zhang were running around telling each other like they had a trumpet plugged in.

Someone whispered: "Old Lin's family used to be very arrogant. Now that they have a scholar, wouldn't they become even more arrogant?"

"Yeah, our family doesn't have a scholar, so what can we say?"

Everyone could only watch helplessly as Mrs. Lin and Zhang proudly preached everywhere, as loudly as if they wanted everyone in the city to hear.

When Mrs. Lin Zhang came over, the murmurs of the people around her gradually subsided.

When Lin Zhang walked to the door of Lin Chujiu's house, she saw Lin Chujiu was about to go out, carrying a basket on his back.

Mrs. Lin Zhang raised her chin disdainfully and said: "Our family Wenguang has been admitted as a scholar and is now a member of the imperial court. Some people have said so absolutely before. If you ask us to do something in the future, don't kneel down. .”

The originally peaceful scene became a little embarrassing because of Lin Zhang's sudden attack.

Aunt Zhang was unhappy and couldn't help but sarcastically said, "It doesn't matter if you pass the exam to be a scholar. Only ability is important if you can be reused by the court."

Lin Zhang's acting style is always unpredictable.

Not long ago, if Lin Chujiu hadn't helped, the Lin family would have been in trouble due to Lin Yaozu's incident.

After hearing Aunt Zhang's words, Lin Chujiu didn't stay much, just said hello lightly and left straight away. Her eyes were cold, as if she was not interested in Lin Zhang's dispute.

"Auntie, I'm leaving."

She said goodbye to Aunt Li, and then walked to Wei Zeming's house with the basket on her back.

Seeing Lin Chujiu ignoring her so much, Lin Zhang's anger reached its peak. However, Lin Chujiu left without looking back.

Does she know that after becoming a scholar, Lin Wenguang will embark on an official career?

If she knelt down to apologize at this moment, it would be hard for Lin Zhang to let go of Lin Chujiu's past mistakes.

Mrs. Lin Zhang took a deep breath, and others came forward to compliment her: "Sister-in-law Lin, your Wenguang family is really promising. I heard that there will be two talented people this year."

"Yes, how does Wen Guang work hard? Can you reveal the secret?"

Being praised and flattered by others, Lin Zhang felt a little relieved: "Okay, I have to go home and cook chicken for Wen Guang, so I won't tell you anymore."

Seeing Mrs. Lin and Zhang leaving triumphantly, others were filled with resentment and jealousy.

"That's all for a scholar. If he becomes a high official in the future, wouldn't he become even more arrogant?"

"Don't say that. If their family hears it, our life will be difficult."
