Second spring

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the carriage.

Mrs. Lin's words are inside and out, why does it sound so wrong?

Lin Minjia spoke quickly: "I don't need to trade other people's things for my reputation! Mother, you..."

Before she finished speaking, she felt Lin Huijia tug on her sleeve, so she stopped her mouth resentfully.

Mrs. Lin cast her eyes on Lin Huijia.

Lin Huijia said calmly: "Mother, I think we have been away from Beijing for many years, and we are prepared. When we return to Beijing suddenly, there must be many things that are not clear. Doesn't Mother often say that we can't ignore the details? I think, It is safe for the daughters to show up in a low-key manner and slowly blend into the social circle."

"As for fame..." She smiled softly, "I'm already engaged. Min'er and Yi'er are both young..."

Fame is of course very important to noble ladies, and it is related to the important matter of marriage.And for a woman to marry and choose a son-in-law is the most important choice in her life, and it cannot be sloppy at all.But if there are daughters in the family, they were raised in deep boudoirs in the past. Who knows what they look like and what their personality is?Only after the age of ten, will the elders of the family lead her to attend some social occasions, slowly accumulate her own reputation, and then she will have a good man come to ask for her...

Lin Huijia is already engaged, so naturally she doesn't need to bother with socializing and show off deliberately.Moreover, in the capital city, girls who are generally engaged will fade out of the social circle and concentrate on preparing for marriage at home.But Lin Huijia's situation is slightly different——

Her husband's family is the prince's mansion, the concubine, the future princess of the county, and the mistress of the prince's mansion.As the hostess, she must come out to socialize.And she herself was not yet old enough to go out to socialize when she left Beijing... If she didn't go out before marriage, wouldn't her eyes be smeared after marriage in the future!Even if she's smart and won't make a joke, she will definitely suffer a lot in that situation!

Therefore, after returning to Beijing, she must still go out with Mrs. Lin.It's just that what she needs is to be low-key and cautious, not to be in the limelight.

And Lin Shiqing's position has been assigned to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and their family will settle in the capital from now on.Although Lin Minjia and Lin Yijia are old enough to see each other, there are still a few years before they get married, and there is plenty of time to appear in the social circle of the capital, so there is no need to worry.

Lin Yijia sneered in her heart——

It's not easy for Mrs. Qin to ask the Lin family to accept her "untraceable" favor.Didn't mother see her thoughts?My father doesn't seem to be happy either; my sisters don't join me either... Hehe.

After hearing Lin Huijia's words, Mrs. Lin's smile softened a little.She shook her head and said, "It's a pity that our family doesn't have a good hand at taking care of flowers and plants. I'm afraid that this plate of flowers won't be saved for the banquet in five days. If there is any loss, then it's absolutely unacceptable... ...Look, how well this flower blooms..."

Lin Shiqing also nodded, and said: "Such a beautiful flower, don't ruin it in our hands. When I just came, I had already ordered the housekeeper to prepare a gift, and I happened to send it there at night."

In the middle of the night, the housekeeper sent it over quietly... very good... Lin Yijia rolled her eyes, as if she didn't hear what they said, and saw her younger brother still admiring the flowers seriously, and immediately pulled Give him a hand.

Lin Jiakang glared at Lin Yijia angrily.

Lin Yijia didn't realize it, and said: "Brother, didn't you hear what Daddy said? This flower will be given away tonight, so hurry up and draw it, so I can make it look better in the future!"

Regardless of Lin Jiakang's young age, his talent in painting is extraordinary.Especially the hand-painted brushwork, which is already of a high standard at this time, and is no longer inferior to his father.

"At your level, you won't be able to use the tricks I drew in 100 years!" Lin Jiakang unceremoniously exposed Lin Yijia's shortcomings.

Lin Yijia was not annoyed either, and said with a smile, "Can I ask for it for my sisters? Hmph, do you want to paint or not!"

Lin Huijia is a good embroiderer, and even Lin Minjia had the patience to learn her embroidery to a general level, and it would not be shameful to take it out.

Lin Jiakang looked up and saw that his father, mother, and the other two sisters didn't intend to help, so he couldn't help being defeated, lowered his head, and whispered: "I draw..."

Lin Yijia proudly spread out the drawing paper for him.

Lifting the pen, Lin Jiakang immediately became awed, and his mind was soon immersed in the drawing paper.At this moment, even though his face is still immature, his whole body seems to be shining.

Lin Yijia found a place to sit down, rested her chin, looked at Lin Jiakang, and at the relatives around her, the corners of her mouth curled up happily.Hearing her father and mother retreating to the side and whispering something, her ears immediately perked up.

"...From my point of view, Kang'er really likes painting more than reading." Madam Lin was a little worried: "Although he is very sensible, and has always suppressed his temper, but if this continues...it won't be good..."

Mr. Lin has great confidence in Lin Jiakang: "What are you afraid of? He is also talented in reading. I also hope that he will become an official in the future, as long as he has a good reputation. What will he want to do in the future? , as he likes it.”

Mrs. Lin obviously heard Lin Shiqing say this for the first time. Hearing this, she looked up at him in astonishment, and said in disbelief, "Are you serious? Did it really happen to him?"

The Lin family went first, but Daxian was the first champion after the founding of the country!Tired officials to left ministers, one term for ten years, only to be honored to be an official!He has made great achievements for Daxian's founding and stability!After his death, he was posthumously named Duke Wen Xian!

It's a pity that the only heir of Wen Xiangong, who is now Mr. Lin, does not aspire to be an official in the imperial examination. After learning about Yuan with a stunning reputation, he unexpectedly ended up again, but wandered around the world in style. up!

No successors... Well, of course, it means that there are no successors in the officialdom. In addition, the Lin family did not confer titles because of their literature. After Lin Gong retired, the influence of the Lin family in the officialdom gradually faded.

By the time of the third generation of the Lin family, that is, when Lin Shiqing won the number one scholar and entered the officialdom, Mr. Lin had passed away for more than three years, and the connections he left behind were almost gone, and they could not add to Lin Shiqing's official career. Great help.

However, the Lin family's reputation among scholars has always been very good.Even Mr. Lin is a talented person that no one can deny.Mr. Lin has been keen on traveling in the mountains and rivers all his life. He has written mountains and rivers, pictures, folklore and anecdotes, and countless poems and songs, many of which are exquisite!In addition, his painting skills are also among the best in Daxian, which scholar in the world does not feel admiration when he mentions "Old Man of the World"!

Also because of such a reputation, and because Lin Shiqing himself is also a capable and talented person, after he became an official, there were few people in the officialdom who deliberately made things difficult, and he traveled steadily all the way.

But... even with the living example of Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin couldn't accept her husband's support for her son's idea of ​​pursuing a career in painting instead of studying and becoming an official!

Whose family has a clever son, they don't expect him to be a candidate for the imperial examination and a first-rank official!

But if you object... there seems to be no reason to disapprove...but for a while, you can't figure it out and don't want to be reconciled...for a while, Mrs. Lin lost her sense of control, she clenched her fist and bit her lip, her expression fluctuated.
