Second spring

"I'm leaving." Chen Zhenyi said softly.

Lin Yuan'er didn't take it seriously when she heard the words, and asked, "Really? Where is the house bought? How big is it?"

Chen Zhenyi shook her head: "Yuan'er, I haven't seen a particularly suitable house yet. Besides, I'm leaving Shengjing."

Only then did Lin Yuan'er look up in surprise, with a trace of displeasure in her heart, she frowned, and blurted out: "Didn't we agree to settle in Shengjing before we came? How long will it be before you return to Fuzhou? You go, I won't go."

After finishing the last sentence, Lin Yuaner suddenly remembered the chaos and embarrassment of these days, and almost for a moment wanted to follow Chen Zhenyi away from Shengjing, away from this troubled place... But she just bit her lip lightly and didn't say anything. Voice.

There was a hint of disappointment in Chen Zhenyi's eyes, she lowered her head and said, "I am the one who wants to leave Shengjing."

Lin Yuan'er finally noticed the abnormality, sat up slightly, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Chen Zhenyi said: "I have a reputation for raising people, you know this Yuaner, right?"

Lin Yuaner nodded.

At the beginning, Chen Zhenyi, who was going to Beijing to rush for the exam, met Lin Yuaner by chance. After several twists and turns, she married Lin Yuaner back to Fuzhou.Of course he didn't have high school in that subject.Since then, he has been guarding Lin Yuan'er in Fuzhou, and has never tried to enter Beijing again.

"Back then, after winning the exam, I also filed a case with the government as usual." Chen Zhenyi's words were a bit bitter.He smiled wryly: "Three days ago, I received a letter of appointment from the Ministry of Officials, appointing me to a small county in the northwest as the magistrate, a seventh-rank official."

Lin Yuan'er immediately understood what was going on.His face changed involuntarily.

Although Juren has the qualifications to be an official, there are thousands of candidates in the country. How can Daxian have so many positions for these candidates?They left their names on the application for backup officials. If they hadn't worked hard to find the right time, they might not have been able to wait for the appointment letter from the imperial court for the rest of their lives.And now?The Ministry of Officials actually found Chen Zhenyi, who left the application more than ten years ago, and directly gave him a parent officer!You know, even for those who move up and down, the first official appointment is almost the lowest official position without grade!And the county magistrate is Qipin!

If there is no strangeness in it, then there is a ghost!

Why?Chen Zhenyi has no intention of being an official at all.I have already forgotten about the application back then, not to mention that there will be activities such as looking for contacts and giving gifts and treats!

Of course, Chen Zhenyi noticed the change in Lin Yuaner's expression, her eyes were full of pain.He closed his eyes, as if he was asking Lin Yuaner, or muttering to himself: "Did he mean it? After so many years, even Anzhi is already nine years old. He..."

"I just said, we shouldn't come to Shengjing..."

When Chen Zhenyi first received the letter of appointment, she was surprised and wanted to reject it immediately.But what he didn't expect was that there was an official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs who met him at the same time.There is also a servant.Seeing the servant looking at him with a strange look, Chen Zhenyi's head boomed at that moment.Then... Then, what else did he not understand?

The meaning of the Ministry of Officials is, of course, that he is not allowed to refuse.

After Chen Zhenyi came out of the official office, with a fire in his chest, he walked back to the Lin Mansion in one breath, and walked to the Rongxi Hall...but in front of the Rongxi Hall, he flinched.He wanted to question Lin Yuaner.But I knew in my heart that I didn't have the courage to speak...

It's been three days.

After tossing and tossing for three days, Chen Zhenyi dared to appear in front of Lin Yuaner.Only then can it be like this now, appearing very calm, without roaring angrily.

Lin Yuan'er's fingers turned white, and she bit her lip at some point.

Chen Zhenyi took a deep breath and looked deeply at Lin Yuan'er.Lin Yuan'er seemed to feel that in those eyes, there was boundless surging pain that would drown her deeply, suffocating and unable to breathe.

She looked away.

Chen Zhenyi closed her eyes, concealed all the pain, and said softly: "Yuan'er, so you have already met..."

Lin Yuan'er subconsciously wanted to deny it, but Chen Zhenyi said again: "Yuan'er, do you know? In the past, whenever I mentioned you and that person, whenever I mentioned a little bit, although you would not quarrel with me, you would I was obviously angry and ignored me for many days, and I was not allowed to step into your door... I still remember, the most time, you didn't look at me for 38 days, just treating me like air..."

"But what about today?"

Today, Chen Zhenyi said so much, but Lin Yuan'er hardly responded... At least, she wasn't angry...

"Yuan'er, you are guilty." After Chen Zhenyi said these words, he stood up and said, "It is stipulated in the letter of appointment that I must arrive within one month. Excluding the time on the road... I I'm leaving early the morning after tomorrow. Yuan'er, if... I hope you can send me off..."

Chen Zhenyi's request was really humble and pitiful, but it also had a sense of determination.After saying that, he turned around and left the room.At first, he walked very, very slowly, as if his body suddenly weighed a thousand catties.After finally stepping out of the door, Chen Zhenyi paused, and then walked out in big strides.

Lin Yuan'er sat there without saying a word.

Chen Zhenyi was going to leave Beijing to take up her post. As soon as the news came out, everyone in the Lin family was shocked.And the more sensitive ones, after being shocked, saw the strangeness in each other's eyes, and closed their mouths with interest.

Originally, such a departure was to be practiced with a banquet.

Lin Fu also arranged a banquet that night.

Talking and laughing during the dinner, but also lively.However, the men only talked about the customs and geography in the northwest, or the experience of governing the people. No one in the Lin family said "Daoxi", only Chen Qingzhi and Chen Anzhi from the Chen family went in without knowing it, and raised a few words. cup congratulations to their father.

During the dinner, Mr. Lin drank very drunk.

He waved his arms, pointed at the top of his head, and said drunkenly: "I knew that guy is not a good guy! Ha! Look at what he is playing! At that time, when I saw him, I thought he was not a good guy !"

After finishing speaking, Mr. Lin patted Chen Zhenyi's shoulder vigorously again, and suddenly burst into tears: "I really don't know, I chose you, and I will kill you in the end... It's all my fault... I knew... I knew it... Know……"

If I had known earlier, wouldn't the Lin family not marry their daughter into the royal family?

Chen Zhenyi supported Mr. Lin, glanced at the female seats with a complicated expression, and said to Mr. Lin, "Father, you don't have to be like this...Even if I knew there would be today, I think I would be willing."

When Mr. Lin heard the words, he cried more and more.

It was only then that Chen Qingzhi and Chen Anzhi felt that there seemed to be something wrong with practicing the banquet—what did Mr. Lin mean by those words?Isn't he always crying with joy? !

"Cousin, why did grandfather..." Chen Qingzhi asked Lin Jiahan.

Ever since the news of Chen Zhenyi's sudden appointment spread, everyone in the Lin family, big and small, had been informed of the past by the elders.But the children of the Chen family were obviously kept in the dark.

Lin Jiahan was hesitating and didn't know what to say, so he heard Lin Shiqing explain: "Your father was also a boy in the past, and he was only twenty when he passed the exam. Although he didn't succeed in the first try, how many Participate a few times, and there will be a day when he will be on the list. But, because he married your mother, he never went to Beijing to catch the exam... That's why the old man blamed himself for delaying your father..."

Such an explanation can barely make sense.

Even if Brother Chen Qingzhi had doubts, it was not good to get to the bottom of it at this time, so he could only stay in his heart for a while, and wait until he turned around and asked his father.

At the ladies' table here, Mrs. Lin showed a rare smile.She smiled and said to Lin Yuan'er: "Isn't this very good? When he becomes an official, the children will all be born in an official family. When it comes to marriage in the future, the benefits will not be the slightest bit! "

Lin Yuaner nodded perfunctorily.

At this time, Li Yueying poked Chen Wanzhi quietly: "The old lady said about you... well, cousin Wanzhi, you are now a lady of the official family, and you will naturally be in the future...but I only have two older brothers, and I still expect nothing Up……"

When Chen Wanzhi heard the words, a smile appeared on his face, but he didn't know what he thought of, so he squinted his eyes again.She rolled her eyes and said to Li Yueying in a low voice: "Cousin Yueying, you live in the Lin Mansion now. Well, in the future, with the help of us sisters, what are you worried about?"

"What Cousin Wan said is true." Li Yueying responded with a low smile, but she was pondering in her heart——

The meaning revealed by Chen Wanzhi's words is that she, the daughter of the seventh-rank sesame official, is on a par with the daughter of the Lin family!Well, even if she was born beautiful, how could a seventh-rank official's daughter still marry into the county prince's mansion?

If it's not that Chen Wanzhi doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, then where does her... confidence come from?

Lin Yijia didn't hear the ear-whispering between the two girls, but when Mrs. Lin said that, she deliberately amplified her voice so that everyone in the room could hear it.Lin Yijia heard it in her ears, but sighed in her heart - she really felt that she had nothing to say...

Lin Yijia sat with Lin Huijia.

Lin Yijia asked in a very low voice: "Big sister, tell me, will Cousin Wan and their marriage go well?"

Those who are interested will of course know what unspeakable things have happened.In this case, is anyone really willing to marry such a troublesome family?As far as Lin Yijia thought, Mrs. Lin must be unwilling...

Lin Huijia pursed her lips, and whispered her opinion: "I think we need to wait and see. If that one has any actions in the future, it shows that he values ​​his aunt... At that time, most of the opportunistic people wanted to cling to her." Come up."

Lin Yijia nodded.

But, if at that time, my aunt still lives in the Lin Mansion, okay? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
