Childhood Sweethearts of a Family: The Delicate Girl

Chapter 19

At a later time, Lin Hai happened to let his eldest son Lin Xuan go back to the Lin Mansion together with his eldest son.

Afterwards, Lin Hai's family and Jiang's mother and son had dinner in the dining hall.After dinner, the maid took away the dishes and leftover dishes, and brought tea and snacks.Each of the nine people held a teacup, sitting in the dining room and gossiping.

Xiao Linyuan sat in the banquet with everyone like a grown-up, and also occupied a seat by herself.She is the youngest, but she is of the same generation as Lin Qi and Lin Yu.After her eldest brother Lin Xuan gets married, she will be a young sister-in-law.

At this moment, she also touched a teacup, taking a sip leisurely from time to time.The tea cups of the other eight people contained the same color of tea, but Xiao Linyuan enjoyed the treatment of honey osmanthus tea because of her young age.

She drank sweet-scented osmanthus tea and sat quietly, watching her parents and brothers chatting intimately with their aunts, cousins, and obediently silently drinking a cup of tea quickly. up.

Lin Hai has a good relationship with his younger brother, and since he is the eldest brother, he will naturally care and take care of his own nephew.When so many people sat together, Lin Hai only asked Lin Qi some trivial matters and did not ask much about homework.

Lin Yuan is still young, so she needs to go to bed early. Lin Hai and Lin Xuan have to go to work tomorrow and go to bed early, so they didn't chat for too long.

When the crowd was about to leave, Lin Hai called his nephew Lin Qi to follow him to the study.Although Lin Qi won the exam, he was only 17 years old, still very young.Lin Hai thought, let's see how he is doing first, and then give him some academic advice.

Lin Ye, like Lin Qi, successfully passed the provincial examination in August last year and qualified for this year's Chunwei General Examination, but because his father Lin Hai felt that his ability was not enough, he asked him to wait for the general examination three years later.As for the three years during this period, Lin Hai has also made arrangements, ordering Lin Ye to study in the Imperial College for the time being.

Lin Qi is one year younger than Lin Ye, not because Lin Hai thinks that he is not capable enough at a young age, but just because he thinks that if he is a little lacking in heat, it is better to prepare for three more years, and it is more secure after all.

Lin Hai called Lin Qi to the study room, and after explaining his thoughts to him in detail, he gave Lin Qi a test with a few questions to estimate his level.Lin Qi seemed to be clueless, he could barely answer one of Lin Hai's exam questions.

Since this was the case, Lin Hai and Lin Qi suggested that Lin Ye and Lin Ye should temporarily study in the Imperial Academy, and wait three years before taking the examination.Lin Qi saw that although he listened carefully, he didn't know whether he was paying attention or not. In the end, when Lin Hai made his suggestion, he only promised to think about it again.

Lin Hai respected Lin Qi's own opinion. After all, it was Lin Qi's own business. As an elder, he was just giving pointers. As for what will happen in the end and what results will be obtained, it is still up to Lin Qi himself.

After finishing talking, Lin Hai asked Lin Qi to go back to rest. He stayed in the study for a while, and then went back to his room to rest.

Seeing Lin Hai coming back from the study, Mrs. Wang couldn't help sighing when she came to the outside room. She knew in her heart that it must be related to Lin Qi, but she just asked her husband, "Why did you sigh as soon as you came back?"

The maids serving on the left and right backed away with winks, Lin Hai and his wife Wang walked into the room together, frowned slightly and told Wang a few words about Lin Qi's situation.

"He is in such a situation, I am afraid that he has a bit of luck in the middle school. Although luck is good, but you can't expect everything to be lucky. I think he has a foundation and is more prepared. In three years, it must be different from now."

"Of course, the master is doing it for Brother Qi's good. Others don't know it, but I know it very well. If it's not for the love of the second brother, the master doesn't have to give up these thoughts. It's just that the master doesn't need to worry, first Waiting to see what brother Qi said, then I will know what to do. Maybe after thinking about it, brother Qi also agrees with the master's words?"

There is no emotion between Wang and Jiang.Although it is true that there is no relationship between her and Jiang Shi, Wang Shi knows that her younger brother Lin Hao is a good person, and he is actually good to Dafang, so she has no complaints about taking care of Lin Qi and Lin Yu. Hao's face.

"At that time, if Brother Qi still insists on taking the exam in March, I will talk to my siblings and let her persuade Brother Qi."

Lin Hai himself knew that this was the only way to go for the time being, and was persuaded by Mrs. Wang's constant good words, so he finally put aside his worries, washed and groomed, and rested.

Jiang originally wanted to ask Lin Qi what he had talked about in the study when he came back later, but because Lin Qi came back too late, she could only endure it until the next morning.

In the early morning of the second day, Lin Qi and Lin Yu came to say hello to Mrs. Jiang, and Mrs. Jiang hurriedly caught Lin Qi and asked him what he had talked with his uncle the night before.Lin Qi also didn't hide anything from her mother, and made everything clear to Jiang Shi.

Lin Yu heard from the side and felt that the elder uncle's suggestion was very reasonable. She knew how much ink her elder brother had in his stomach, and she was much closer to her elder brother than her own mother.It's just luck that my elder brother was able to win the lift in one go.If you really want to go to the exam like this, you will probably only get a result of failing the exam.

Apparently, Mrs. Jiang did not have such thoughts like Lin Yu. When she heard that Lin Qi had to wait another three years, she became a little anxious, and asked repeatedly, "Why? Why did I have to wait another three years? Back then Didn’t Brother Xuan just take the general examination in the second year of the township examination? He even got No.3 in the first class!”

Jiang was furious, her son is of course very good, why can't he take part in the examination this year?Lin Xuan was able to go to high school at the age of 19, and her son won the exam when he was only 19. How could he be so much worse than Lin Xuan?Lin Xuan was able to find Hua Lang at the age of [-], how could her son be worse than Lin Xuan?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it didn't make sense. She adjusted her emotions, pursed her lips and said softly to her son, "You won the exam when you were only 17 years old. It can't be a bad one. Mother thinks you will participate in March." It’s good to have a try, and there’s no need to wait another three years.”

"Your uncle was a Tanhua Lang back then, and your eldest brother is also a high school Tanhua. Now another one works in the Ministry of Households, and the other works in the Imperial Academy. They will definitely help you a lot. In about a month, you will be everywhere. Don't go, just read the books for a month with peace of mind, and let your uncle and big brother give you pointers, you can't go wrong."

In fact, Mrs. Jiang would like to say something to her son. If he can be selected as a Jinshi, even if he is a fellow Jinshi, he still has a chance to be selected as a good scholar... With the relationship between uncle and cousin, no matter what. It should be possible to get in, and then his sister will definitely be able to get a good marriage.

With this good marriage, it will be of great benefit to his future.Isn't it beautiful that my sister can marry well and he can have a good future?If after three years, Lin Yu has already married, this good way of benefiting each other will not work.

Lin Qi listened to his mother's words, but he didn't want to disappoint her and knew what kind of qualifications he had, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Mother, I actually think what my uncle said is right, and if I wait another three years, it will be worse than that." Now I am much more stable, and I also feel that my ability is not enough."

After hearing Lin Qi's words, Mrs. Jiang immediately gave him a sideways glance, blaming him for not being up to date, but she persuaded her softly, "My dear son, mother knows that you are trying to humble yourself with mother. Mother believes that you have this ability, but you don't believe in yourself?"

Lin Qi just had to bite the bullet to say such words to Jiang Shi. Jiang Shi has always been domineering at home, and she will not allow others to change the things she has decided.Lin Qi has been influenced by such a Jiang family since she was a child, and has almost never disobeyed her mother's words.

Now that the Jiang family has become so domineering again, Lin Qi thinks about it and thinks it's okay to follow her mother's wishes, isn't it just a failure?So he finally nodded in Jiang's earnest gaze.

Seeing the eldest son nodding his head, Mrs. Jiang was finally satisfied.Lin Yu wanted to say a few words for her elder brother, but seeing that her elder brother agreed, it would be useless for her to say more, so she simply kept silent.

Later, Lin Qi told Lin Hai that he still wanted to try to participate in the meeting this year, but Lin Hai's persuasion was ineffective, so he had to agree temporarily.

Mrs. Lin mentioned this matter to Mrs. Jiang according to what she had promised her husband before, but Mrs. Jiang only said, "Brother Qi has loved reading since he was a child, and he is the most serious and hardworking. Since he wants to try it himself, why not?" It must be because I have confidence in my heart, as a mother, I don't understand so much and I can only support him."

Since Mrs. Jiang said so, Mrs. Lin persuaded her twice and she still refused to listen, so she let her go.Afterwards, Mrs. Lin reported the situation to her husband, and Lin Hai had no choice but to follow their wishes.

In this way, Lin Qi prepared for the Chunwei Exam in the Lin Mansion.Lin Xuan's marriage is approaching, and Mrs. Lin is very busy, so she doesn't have so much mind to care about other things.

After being so busy, in a blink of an eye, it is March, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming and the spring is bright and beautiful.Lin Xuan's wedding came before the Chunwei meeting.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Lin Xuan, who finally ushered in the small enrolment after the big enrolment, is even more energetic, and he is happy from ear to ear every day.

Red lanterns were hung everywhere in the Lin Mansion, with red words of happiness pasted on them, and it happened to be the season of colorful flowers, and there were delicate and beautiful flowers to cheer for the fun, and the whole Lin Mansion was filled with joyful atmosphere.
