Second spring

Lin Yuaner, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, married to Fuzhou in her early years and has been away for more than 30 years.

Over the years, although the eldest daughter of the Lin family has returned every year, she has never been able to set foot in Shengjing.Back then, for the marriage of the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Mrs. Lin had a lot of quarrels with Mr. Lin, and even used the method of crying and looking for death. However, Mr. Lin insisted and finally married his daughter.

"Fuzhou is now a land of fish and rice, and the Chen family is an aristocratic family that owns a thousand pieces of land. My uncle, Chen Zhenyi, loves our Yuan'er, and made a promise to me, but if he has children, he will never take a concubine for the rest of his life... Such a uncle You don't want it, are you Yuan'er's biological mother!"

"What kind of land of fish and rice, Fuzhou is thousands of miles away from Shengjing, and it is clearly the land of the Southern Barbarians! What is a thousand acres of land, their Chen family has never had a Beijing official! What's more, Chen Zhenyi, who failed three times in the imperial examination! Don't you think so?" I can't tell, with his talent and learning, I'm afraid he won't be able to pass the Jinshi exam for the rest of his life! He's 25 this year, and his first two fiancées were killed by him! Don't you want to kill our Yuan'er? What's more annoying is , Chen Zhenyi's appearance, how can it be matched with our flower-like Yuan'er!"

At that time, every time they quarreled, Mr. Lin was the first to get bored: "... Don't you just think that the third prince seems to have taken a fancy to our Yuan'er? Don't you just want to be the mother-in-law of a noble prince, or even Can you still be the emperor's mother-in-law in the future?"

"What's wrong with the third prince! With his father's support, he may not be able to ascend the throne!"

"Snapped!"

A teacup fell to pieces.

"Let me tell you, Mrs. Li. You have given up on me! From now on, you are not allowed to step out of this courtyard again! If you are possessed by evil spirits and dare to encourage Yuan'er to do something disgraceful, Don't blame me for being ruthless and never recognizing you, Mrs. Li!"

"..."

It was about Lin Yuan'er, the most severe and final quarrel that broke out between Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin.As a result of that quarrel, Mrs. Lin was put into confinement directly. Even the whole wedding arrangement was handled by the old man himself, until the moment before Lin Yuan'er bid farewell to her elders and stepped on the sedan chair.Only then did Mrs. Lin come out and take a look at her.

And after that time, Li's reputation was also greatly damaged, leaving a laughing stock in Shengjing's social circle, making it difficult for Li to raise his head.After Mrs. Lin came in, Mrs. Li completely retreated to the deep house in the backyard, and never appeared in Shengjing's social circle again.

In the mind of Mrs. Lin.Second master Lin is the son of Mr. Lin, and third master Lin is her own son.What she has on weekdays is of course for the third master, but if she wants to do something, she can only trouble the second master Lin.And Lin Yuan'er is the jewel she always misses.and.The son is of course fine, but a lot of the time.Only a daughter can be considerate to a mother...

Hearing Mrs. Lin's request, Second Master Lin pursed his lips, and said tactfully: "Last time my sister wrote, saying that she was worrying about her niece and daughter's lifelong affairs... There is also a nephew who is studying, and the other nephew is just the boss. , each of them needs her to take care of them..."

"Fuzhou is a land of southern barbarians. What kind of good boy can you choose, and where is there any good gentleman! If there is really a good gentleman, why don't you see their Chen family take the Jinshi exam! It just so happens that the whole family is coming to Beijing, so don't delay the child future!" Li Shi said.

What he said made sense, but...Second Master Lin knew that his father must not be mentioned at this time, so he said: "Then I will write to my sister and ask her what she means."

"What can she mean!" Li said dissatisfiedly: "You just write about your mother and I will close my eyes to see if she comes to see my old lady!" She was worried about Erye Lin: "You finished writing , read it to me. You write it now."

Lin Erye had no choice but to ask someone to give him pen and ink. According to Li Shi's intention, he wrote a letter and read it to Li Shi.After hearing this, Mrs. Li felt satisfied, and then closed her eyes again.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Li urged Lin Erye to send the letter.

Second Master Lin agreed, and when he went out, he naturally wanted to let Old Master Lin know.

After listening to Mr. Lin, he sighed and said, "Send the letter. After so many years, Yuan'er already has a son and a daughter, and it's nothing to do when she comes back."

The Third Prince back then is the current Emperor Jing He.

Although no one has said it, everyone in the Lin family knows that this is the biggest reason why Mrs. Li has been holding on for many years, never letting go of her figure, and giving in to Mr. Lin. In the eyes of Mrs. Lin, if she According to her, at this time, the Lin Mansion doesn't know how beautiful it will be!But now?Lin Shiqing is a top scholar, but at forty he is just a servant!If you want to hold the power of a part, you need at least a few years of qualifications!

Maybe it was hope, or maybe it was because she said she didn't want to see Mrs. Bai, so she really didn't see Mrs. Bai before her eyes. Mrs. Lin's condition improved quickly, at least until the New Year's Eve. One day, she was able to appear at the banquet in good spirits.

Mrs. Lin walked out holding Nanny Rong's hand, and everyone stood up to greet her.

Mrs. Lin was satisfied when she didn't see Mrs. Bai present.But when she saw Lin Shifei, her complexion inevitably had some shadows - Lin Shifei was only a few months younger than Lin Shiqi, but he was a full fist taller than Lin Shiqi, standing tall and graceful, and instantly compared Lin Shiqi go down.

"Humph."

Mrs. Lin snorted coldly in her heart - she's just a bastard!Just send it out early!

Mrs. Lin looked away, and said lightly: "Okay, let's all sit down."

"Today is a rare reunion, the whole family is complete for the first time." Mrs. Lin clearly said good things, but it sounded uncomfortable.

Mrs. Lin got up and smiled, and said, "Isn't it a reunion? It's the first time for Kang'er to go home. Of course it's very rare."

At the other table, Mr. Lin said calmly: "Let's serve dinner."

Uncle Lin gave Lin Jiakang a wink.Lin Jiakang got up from his seat, took a glass of fruit wine, and turned to one side.Seriously, he knelt down to Mr. Lin and said: "Grandfather, if you are not filial to your grandson's family health, I wish you health like a pine and cypress, good luck and longevity. Well, I wish your writings will be widely distributed in the world, and your literature and history will last forever."

"En! Good!" Mr. Lin stretched out his hand to smooth his beard, and said with a smile: "Get up. I heard that your child is interested in calligraphy and painting, which is not bad. It is really good! In our Lin family, it is only a few generations to have an official. Enough is enough, there is no need for everyone to jump into that dirty place...Kanger, did your father force you to take the imperial examination? Come on, grandpa decides for you..."

Lin Jiakang was young, his face turned red even after drinking a glass of water and wine.Hearing the words at this time, he said happily: "No, grandmother, father and mother are very supportive of grandson. However, grandson still wants to take part in the imperial examination. No matter what, he must win the exam, so that others will not look down on him."

"Good good..."

Mr. Lin is really happy now.He glanced at Lin Shiqing appreciatively.He laughed heartily and said, "Kang'er thinks so, he is a very smart person! It really is the best! Grandpa is very happy! Come here. Grandpa toasts you!"

"This..." Lin Jiakang was still a little hesitant at first, but he was infected by Mr. Lin's emotions, so he picked up the wine glass again and drank it down in one gulp.

"Okay..." Mr. Lin praised again: "Grandpa will take you out to visit friends in time for tomorrow's festival! Grandpa can tell you, my friends, one by one, are definitely interesting people..."

Because it was approaching the end of the year when he came back, he immediately had a conflict with Mrs. Li.It also led to Li's illness... After returning, Mr. Lin still had no time to get close to his grandchildren.Not to mention, Lin Shiqing is his and Wang's only son, and Lin Jiakang is his and Wang's only grandson.After such a meeting at this time, he immediately fell in love with this grandson who had only met a few times.

"Kang'er is really blessed." Lin Shifei whispered to Lin Shiqing with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "Those friends of my father are all talented and knowledgeable people."

"En." Lin Shiqing also smiled.

He is usually busy with political affairs, so he doesn't have much time to spare to teach Kang'er.What's more, Kang'er is not willing to set foot in the officialdom, so there is not much he can teach.Although Mrs. Feng is knowledgeable, she is not a member of that circle...Only Mr. Lin can give Kang'er the best and most help...

There was a lot of talk here, and Mrs. Lin also picked up what Mrs. Lin liked to hear. When it came to the Lin family's aunt, the atmosphere quickly eased.

"...Speaking of which, my aunt really hurts our aunt like an eyeball. This time we passed by Fuzhou to visit their family, and we met that uncle personally bought the dorayaki that my aunt loved to eat..."

"What, did you see her? Why didn't anyone mention it to me!" Mrs. Lin said.

This... Who knew that Lin Shiqing didn't say anything?As for myself and the children, which time did you get a good look at the meeting, and of course you left early, who would have thought...

Mrs. Lin hurriedly said apologetically: "It's true that Xiao Liu was sick at that time, and we came and went in a hurry, and didn't stay in Fuzhou for long..."

Fortunately, Mrs. Lin didn't care about this at this time, she asked with concern: "How about Xu'er? Where's Brother Qing? And Miss Wan? That little one, Brother Ping's body, is in great shape now gone?"

But he didn't care about Lin Yijia.

Lin Yijia didn't care about it, and slowly picked up a piece of crystal lotus root and ate it in small bites.In winter, it really makes me feel good to eat such fresh lotus root.

——In the previous life, my aunt's family did not come to Beijing.But looking at it now, their family has come to make a decision.Well, everything has gradually become completely different, so is it really a new life?Then the catastrophe of the Lin family must have been avoided...

Mrs. Lin has already gotten used to it.She smiled and replied: "It's all good, everything is good. The one who treated Brother Ping was an old genius doctor. Don't look at Brother Ping who was born prematurely and has weak bones. My son has been treated to become a healthy and strong boy! Our Xiaoliu’s illness is also thanks to him. Otherwise, I’m afraid we won’t be able to recover so quickly and so quickly.”

"Oh, that one is really good." Mrs. Lin clasped her hands together and said, "It's really a blessing from the Bodhisattva... I read your sister's letter saying Brother Ping is well, I thought she was comforting me , I didn't expect it to be really good. Well, I'm relieved when it's done..."

The old lady was able to completely ignore Mrs. Lin's subsequent words about Lin Yijia's condition, as if Mrs. Lin never mentioned it at all...

At this time, Lin Yijia saw that Lin Shifei, who was sitting facing her on the table over there, looked here in amazement.After being discovered by Lin Yijia, he nodded slightly.

At the same time, Mrs. Lin began to care about Chen Wanzhi again: "...how is it? How tall is it? Does it look like your sister? It would be great if the children resembled their father...especially the girl's family..."

In fact, Uncle Chen's appearance is not ugly at all, it's just that his appearance is ordinary and not outstanding, and he is not as handsome as most of his sons and daughters.Of course, the eldest aunt of the Lin family was lucky, and the children all inherited her appearance. Only Chen Qingzhi looked like his father to a third, and the other two looked like his mother.Especially Chen Wan'er, according to Mrs. Lin once sighed: This is just like Lin Xu'er back then...

In the question and answer about the Lin family's aunt and grandma's family, the Lin family's New Year's Eve dinner was very harmonious.After dinner, several girls got together spontaneously, eating melon seeds, playing leaf cards, and whispering to keep the year old.

"Look at our grandmother, she never tires of talking about my aunt's house."

Lin Minjia is not as self-cultivated as Lin Huijia raised, nor is it like Lin Yijia has already looked away.When she heard Mrs. Lin questioning the Chen family all night, she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

"How many years has it been since the old lady saw her aunt? Of course she will miss her terribly." Lin Huijia said with a smile: "In the future... Our mother will definitely ask more questions than the old lady."

"Ha, then big sister, you are wrong!" Lin Minjia smiled mischievously, and said in a low voice: "Big sister, you are married so close, if mother thinks about it, she will definitely go to see you as soon as she raises her leg, so she won't pay attention to it." What about those other things?"

"Spoof." Lin Huijia slapped her lightly, and said, "Mother, you can also use it as a joke."

Lin Minjia smiled "hee hee" and didn't care.She rolled her eyes, approached Lin Shijia again, and said with a smile: "Second sister, when my cousin and the others come, you will fall out of favor..."

This question... answer it seriously, Lin Minjia is obviously joking; answer it not serious, it seems inappropriate... Before Lin Shijia could speak, Lin Yijia said in surprise: "Ah, Zhang Baizi is here..." Then she reacted and covered herself She opened her mouth with an annoyed look on her face, causing the girls to laugh and turn their attention to the game. (To be continued.
