The first daughter is not bad, the prince does not love

Chapter 74 Seizing Power
However, Lin Siran showed a bit of panic, and said: "I am also worried that I can't manage the affairs of such a large family by myself. If my younger sister can also come out to help, that would be the best, and besides, grandma will guide you." , the two of us can also have a backbone."

Mrs. Lin could only nod her head when she saw what Lin Sizan said, and said: "Then let's do this, let Xiaoyu and Ranran come to Songshoutang together tomorrow, and you explain everything to them inside and out. Confession."

"Yes." Mrs. Lin agreed, but she was thinking in her heart, how to make Lin Ruran make some mistakes, and then get rid of her, so that Mrs. Lin would not be able to intervene in the family affairs.

Lin Siran didn't want to interfere in the general affairs of the Lin family. She knew that Mrs. Lin had already firmly controlled the family's power over the years, and she would not quit willingly, and would definitely try her best to trip herself up.

But Mrs. Lin needs someone to help her charge forward, to be a marionette in her hand, so that she can take the power of the family into her own hands bit by bit.

Being sandwiched between two women was an uncomfortable feeling, so Lin Siran thought of pulling Lin Qianyu in too, so no one would want to be alone.

Lin Xiaoqian came back from outside, and when he got home, the first thing he did was to lose his temper, because there was indeed a censor who played him in front of the emperor, saying that he had broken his promise, and in order to divorce his daughter, he colluded with the fireworks woman, ruined the reputation of the Luo family, and was an unjust official. , be unkind.

The censors have always spoken very fiercely, and those who they want to participate in the performance must be scolded bloody.

The emperor showed Lin Xiaoqian the booklet, and although he didn't say anything to reproach him, he secretly beat Lin Xiaoqian, telling him to take good care of the inner house and not let the matter in the inner house ruin his official career.

The so-called self-cultivation, regulating the family, governing the country and the world, if you can't even manage your family well, how can you stabilize the country?

Lin Xiaoqian has always been cautious as an official, and he never dared to make any mistakes. Today, it is a shame to let people hold such an excuse. If the emperor didn't see that he had done a beautiful job, he might have to reprimand him.

Losing the Sacred Heart was no small matter, what I could count on now was the emperor's trust and reliance.

Lin Xiaoqian gathered the whole family together and scolded them one by one. As Mrs. Lin was an elder, Lin Xiaoqian naturally didn't dare to do anything, but Mrs. Lin was the first to bear the brunt of it, so it was impossible to escape his anger.

Lin Qianyu was also pointed at her nose and scolded for half an hour. It was not until she couldn't help crying that Lin Xiaoqian stopped.

Arriving at Lin Siran's place, Lin Xiaoqian originally wanted to scold her, but after much deliberation, he couldn't find any reason, so he could only say in a dull tone: "Although you didn't make any mistakes, you should learn from them as a warning, and you must never give her any more excuses." The Lin family is causing trouble, understand?"

"Yes!" Lin Siran obediently agreed.

Seeing that her son was so angry, Mrs. Lin persuaded her son, "Qian'er, don't get angry, I have already scolded them before you came back, and I can't ignore the big and small things in this family from now on. I also thought that when I was getting old, it would be better to be blind with my eyes open, burn incense and chant scriptures, and enjoy my old age peacefully, but now that there are accidents at home one after another, if I continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, I can’t do it anymore. You can do things outside with peace of mind. and me!"

Mrs. Lin is taking the initiative to ask for Ying, and she wants to control the overall situation of the family.

Lin Xiaoqian thought for a while, and said: "Mother, what you said makes sense. In the past, I was afraid that you would be tired, so I didn't ask you to take care of these things. From now on, I can only work for my mother and watch the back house for me. Uneasy, how can I be an official with peace of mind?"

Lin Xiaoqian also agreed to let Mrs. Lin come out to take care of things.

Mrs. Lin saw that her husband was in a fit of anger, so she couldn't take it easy. She thought that it wouldn't make any difference if Lin Qianyu was standing in front of her and she was controlling from behind, so she didn't confront Mrs. Lin head-on.

Although there was a lot of noise about the divorce of the Lin family and the Luo family, Mrs. Lin still got her wish and successfully let Lin Qianyu get rid of this marriage.

However, it was inevitable that outsiders would point fingers at the Lin family, and there was a lot of speculation, and Lin Qianyu's reputation would be stained.

In order to reduce the negative impact, Lin Qianyu also kept a low profile as much as possible. Not only did she no longer go out to dinner parties, she even pushed friends to go out to play as soon as she could.

So many times, these outside entertainments fell on Lin Sizan's head. Fortunately, she was used to these occasions in her previous life, so she was able to handle them with ease.

Because of Lin Siran's perfect performance, the reputation of the Lin family in the social circle has improved. After all, Lin Siran is the eldest lady of the Lin family. If she can teach such a daughter, the Lin family is not far behind.

These are all thoughts imprinted in people's minds. If there is a bad one in the family, the whole family will be unlucky. If there is a good one in the family, it will also improve the image of the family.

Amidst such a busy schedule, the triennial selection of girls has also begun.

Generally speaking, women of the right age, those who are not married, are waiting for selection, but the emperor doesn't want to go to war, so the selection in these years is basically in a small range, and he doesn't want to waste people and money, especially in remote places. If you come to the capital to run for election, you will be happy if you are elected, but if you lose the election, you have to go home again, which is really not worth it.

Therefore, most of the list of pickers is set in the capital, and there are many things about the children of officials and eunuchs.

Of course there are also those outside the capital, but the scope is also limited to the ladies of officials and eunuchs. They are more likely to be selected, and they don't care about the financial and material resources spent on this long journey.

Mrs. Lin was very concerned about the selection process. Before the list was finalized, she asked Lin Xiaoqian over and over again to find a way to add Lin Qianyu's name to it.

Because it was impossible for someone like Lin Qianyu who had engaged in marriage early to be selected.

But now the marriage has been divorced, but because of the turmoil of the divorce and the loss of reputation, Lin Qianyu is still not qualified, but Lin Xiaoqian cleared up the Ministry of Internal Affairs in private, and added Lin Qianyu.

What I didn't expect was that when the imperial decree was issued to Lin's mansion, Lin Sizan was also on the list.

Both Mrs. Lin and Lin Xiaoqian were very surprised, because they had never considered letting Lin Siran enter the palace to run for election, and they had pinned their hopes on Lin Qianyu. At that time, the faces of the two were very exciting.

Especially Mrs. Lin, she lost her face on the spot. When the person who passed the decree left, Mrs. Lin couldn't help being sour: "I didn't expect Ranran's name to be reported? It seems that the master really hurts Daughter, we are blessed with a pair of daughters!"

Originally, Mrs. Lin was troubled by the good reputation that Lin Siran had gradually gained recently, but now that she was going to run for the palace again, wouldn't this be a steady blow to Lin Qianyu?

Since ancient times, there are very few sisters who can successfully keep the brand, unless both of them are assigned to the royal family, but Mrs. Lin feels that Lin Siran is not worthy to be equal to her daughter.

What's more, Lin Siran's reputation is much better than Lin Qianyu's now, and the possibility of being selected is higher. Who will Lin Xiaoqian help then?
In the process of picking, the family also has to put in a lot of effort, but it doesn't mean that it's all based on the abilities of the pickers.

Lin Siran's participation in the election meant taking away part of Lin Qianyu's help, how could Mrs. Lin be happy?
