Second spring

She suppressed herself, put on a smile, and said, "Several yards have been rested. You and your nephews and nieces should wash up first. After a family banquet, I still remember that my sister-in-law has a sweet appetite... It was rumored from the palace last year." A Jinxiu soup, 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 about your business."

"I'll let Yuegui follow you."

Xiao Li pointed to the big maid who was accompanied by a red bijia.The big servant girl heard the words and it should be true, saluting like Mrs. Lin to greet her.Her appearance is only above average, she is a girl with a round face, she is a bit taller than ordinary girls, she has a generous smile, and she looks very capable at first glance.

Then look at the other servant girl next to Mrs. Li, who is also tall and round, Mrs. Lin knew it well, but she didn't say anything, so she left Mrs. Li for now, and was led by Yuegui to the Pine Forest Courtyard .

Yuegui spoke well, pointed out the scenery along the way, and chatted with Mrs. Lin.In her mouth, she not only pointed out the old scenery and old objects in the house that had not been changed in the past ten years, recalled it with Mrs. Lin, but also introduced the newly added scenery in the past ten years, and explained the reasons for the changes in detail. , that tone sounded like a servant reporting to his master.

That's right, no matter how long Mrs. Lin has been away, no matter how long Mrs. Lin has been away, no matter whether Mrs. Lin has been in charge of it or Mrs. Li has taken care of it for the past ten years, Mrs. Lin is the head of the house, there is no doubt about it!

When Yue Gui mentioned this, it was obvious that she had made clear her master's attitude: Mrs. Li would never want to argue with Mrs. Lin, and would never create trouble for her.Even if Mrs. Li had such a "backer" as the old lady, she never thought about it.

The family arrived at the Pine Forest Courtyard, and after seeing off the laurel, Mother Feng ordered a few maids to wait for the masters to clean their faces and comb their faces. After changing into their big clothes, they sat down in the side hall of the main room of the Pine Forest Courtyard.

Songlin Yard and Lin Huijia's Yumoxuan, before Mrs. Lin and the others returned to Beijing, Mother Feng and Lin Huijia's mother Wen brought a few people back early to arrange the two courtyards first.For other people, if you want a new yard and new layout, of course you have to take your time, and it is more suitable to be satisfied if you have seen it yourself.

Lin Huijia did not go to her Yumoxuan for the time being.

She changed into a lake-green outer dress, her hair was loosened and only slightly curled, and the broken hair on her forehead was fixed with a golden comb, and her forehead was exposed, smooth and moving.

Lin Minjia changed into the orange-yellow beanie in late autumn, but she was slouching on one side, lacking the anger of the past, and looking listless.

"Mother." Lin Huijia lightly waved her slender hands, distributed tea for everyone, and personally brought a cup to Mrs. Lin.

The yellow soup is clear and exudes a warm aroma.

Mrs. Lin took it, looked around her siblings, waved to let the servants in the room leave, and then said softly: "Why, do you feel wronged?"

"We are going back to our own home, how we do it depends on the face of the person! It seems that we are the unwelcome poor relatives who have come to join us!" Lin Minjia was angrily, extremely unhappy.

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

Lin Huijia thought for a while, and said, "Mom, you always say that a famous family values ​​face the most. No matter what you think in your heart, you always have to live with face... But the old lady...she doesn't hide it at all. "

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

"The old lady doesn't like our family. She is not happy when we come back." Lin Yijia said bluntly.

Mrs. Lin was very pleased when she heard the words, touched Lin Yijia's head, and said: "Yi'er is right. The old lady is not your father's mother, and it is human nature not to be close to our family. As for what Huier 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 after we left Beijing, the Lin Mansion has never held a decent ceremony. banquet..."

"Father and mother have left, without your names, even if the old lady holds a banquet, who can she invite!" Lin Minjia said disdainfully.

"Min'er!" Mrs. Lin lowered her face and scolded: "From your tone, do you look down on your grandfather or 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 the truth is like this!" Lin Minjia felt aggrieved.

Mrs. Lin took a deep breath, suppressed her temper, her voice eased, and she said in a deep voice: "I don't care what others think, but you, Lin Minjia, are my daughter, so you can't judge people like this! Just focus on the official position Family status, even if you block your eyes, you don’t know it!"

Lin Minjia wanted to say something, but seeing Lin Huijia's wink, she closed her mouth unwillingly.

Mrs. Lin rubbed her head, not knowing what to say.Thinking of what her husband said, letting Lin Jiakang not go to the imperial examination to become an official, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged—even his own daughter thought so, and others didn't...

Lin Yijia rolled her eyes, and said softly, "Grandpa didn't become an official, but he is very powerful? Second uncle didn't become an official, so he seems to be very powerful, right? I heard that everyone in the capital knows him! And In the future, if my younger brother becomes a master of painting instead of being an official, wouldn't he be worthless?"

After speaking, Lin Yijia teased Lin Jiakang, and said, "Brother, tell me, do you want to be a high-ranking official in the future? You will definitely not be able to concentrate on painting when you become an official!"

Lin Jiakang didn't know why 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 froze.

Are you an official?It seems that there is nothing wrong with being an official...but if you are an official, like your father, you have to deal with a lot of government affairs every day, and you are very busy. It seems that 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, this question is not urgent. No matter what your future is, you must read the book well now. Don't say that your grandfather is Jie Yuan , it is your second uncle, who was also the first in the examination of the scholar that year! I really have the ability to stand upright and not afraid of what others say, do you understand?"

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

Seeing that her son really listened to it, Mrs. Lin felt a little relieved.Regarding this issue, she really didn't know how to bring it up to him.Fortunately, it was exposed by Xiao Liu now...

As for Lin Yijia, she pouted and muttered: "Painting is the best. Like Master Zhang in the previous dynasty, you can't ask for a single painting. If you paint well in the future, you can give me hundreds of them. I am a family heirloom!"

Uh... Lin Jiakang's forehead twitched wildly, he couldn't help throwing away Lin Yijia, and said in a low voice: "Hundreds of sheets, you think you are practicing big characters! No!"

"Why not!" Lin Yijia quit: "Don't try to be lazy!"

"You are lazy! Compare yourself, compare with the eldest sister, compare with the third sister... Are you the laziest! You have the nerve to say it!" Facing Lin Yijia, Lin Jiakang is always not as stable as he is in front of other people Calm down, if you can't help it, you will have an emotional battle.

"I..." After being exposed, Lin Yijia felt a little guilty, her small sparkling eyes looked around, and said weakly: "I'm young..."

You can't be younger than me... Lin Jiakang swallowed this sentence as it came to his lips.He knew in his heart that even if he said it, his little sister would only mock him and say, "Compared with women, men are really good"... In the end, it must be him who is more depressed...

Lin Jiakang took a deep breath, ignored Lin Yijia, and sat down.But being made such a fuss by Lin Yijia, the originally unclear will suddenly became clear: he would never like to be a high-ranking official.He can't give up painting!

Seeing the youngest son and daughter making troubles, Mrs. Lin's frustration about the future of her only son was a little loosened.Shall I have a good talk with my husband at night?He is usually the son's education... Her eyes 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 have our own judgments in our hearts. Instead of following others' opinions and becoming snobs."

"En. You are right." Mrs. Lin nodded, very pleased.
