In the Rongfu Hall of the Lin family, a well-dressed mother in charge came to Mrs. Lin's door and said, "I would like to inform you, Mrs. Song County, that my aunt has sent a greeting card."
"Bring it in." An old voice came from the house, and then the door opened. A 28-year-old girl came out, "Aunt Lin, the old lady invites you to come in."
"Thank you, Miss Qingxiang." The second Lin family followed Mrs. Lin's eldest maid, Qingxiang, into the house.
"Greetings to Mrs. Lin." When the two Lin family members saw Mrs. Lin, they quickly saluted.
Although Mrs. Lin is called Mrs. Lin, she can't tell you how old she is. She is already in her early sixties, but she looks like she is only in her fifties.
"Please come." Mrs. Lin waved her hand, "Whose invitation do you think it is?"
"It was sent by my aunt from Song County. She said that she has arrived in the capital and wanted to come and pay her respects to you, Madam." The Lin family member replied cautiously.
"Really? Why didn't you come back home this time? Didn't you always come back for a few days in previous years?" Mrs. Lin raised her eyes and signaled Qingxiang to take the invitation.
"I heard that I came here to find a husband for my young master. My aunt said that this is not a matter of a day or two. I can't live at home all the time and disturb your peace." The Lin family spoke carefully.
.
"She just thinks too much about what she is afraid of at home." Old Mrs. Lin said this, but a satisfied smile appeared on her face. "When she comes, you should be well prepared. She used to like to eat
Please arrange more things, Song County is just a small place. I think it will be a hardship for the ladies." Then he ordered the people to make preparations for Mrs. Lin's arrival.
Mrs. Lin has never been very fond of concubines and concubines. It can be seen from Mrs. Lin's marriage to Dong Jisheng. The daughter of the dignified Mr. Lin actually married a county magistrate, and she married so far away. Who knew
In this matter, everyone would feel that Mrs. Lin has gone too far.
But now that the Lin family is in power, no one will make irresponsible remarks on this. After all, it is a thing of the past.
"Mom, what do you think of me dressed like this?" Dong Yuzhen has been feeling uneasy ever since she knew she was going to her maternal grandfather's house. Although the cousins in her maternal grandfather's house all behave like ladies, they still behave like ladies.
He was merciless when he spoke, especially to her cousin who came from what they thought was a rural area. She was considered a bumpkin who had never seen the world.
So she paid special attention to the appearance issue during this trip.
"Not bad." Mrs. Lin looked at her daughter and felt that she was really beautiful after dressing up for a while. "Zhen'er, don't worry too much. According to your cousins, you are already very beautiful now." Mrs. Lin
I also know that when she returned to her maternal grandfather's house, her skin condition was very bad, which made several children of the same age in the Lin family make fun of her. As a result, Dong Yuzhen was very resistant to the Lin family who came to the capital.
"Mom, tell me whether I need to wear the jewelry that sister Xiaozhu gave me." Dong Yuzhen felt that it was too plain without any valuable jewelry on her body.
Mrs. Lin shook her head gently, "Zhen'er, you don't need to dress up too grandly. If you accidentally pass a few cousins, it will not be very good for the purpose of our visit." Mrs. Lin pulled Dong Yuzhen's hand.
Hold her hand and lead her to sit on the chair.
"Zhen'er, some of the sisters in your grandma's family may say something unpleasant, but you can't compete with them. No matter who is right or wrong, in the eyes of your grandma, it's all your fault, so
, Don't argue with them." Mrs. Lin doesn't want to see her as a concubine, and naturally she doesn't like her children very much. Zhen'er is now older, so it's time for her to understand these things.
"Mom, I understand." Dong Yuzhen nodded, no longer worrying about dressing up. She could see some sadness in her mother's eyes, and when she was in Linjia Village, Chang's mother also told her about the difference between concubines and concubines.
She was very shocked when she heard the rules. Now she has a more realistic experience with her mother.
Although Dong Yuzhen did not have a hairpin and did not need to wear a hairpin on her head, in order not to look too shabby, Mrs. Lin still asked her daughter to wear a pair of jade bracelets given to her by Lin Zhu. Sooner or later, it will be given to her, and now she is wearing it
Just right.
Mrs. Lin took her son and daughter to the Lin Mansion. She first went to Rongfu Hall to greet Mrs. Lin, and then sent someone to take Dong Wenbo to greet Mr. Lin.
"Mother, are you feeling well? It's unfilial to keep your daughter away from you and not be able to see you often." Mrs. Lin sat not far from Mrs. Lin and chatted with her with concern.
"Old man, your body is not as good as before." Mrs. Lin also looked at Mrs. Lin with a loving look.
"My mother wants to live a long life. This time I specially asked someone to find a century-old ginseng. Although it is not as precious as my mother's, please don't dislike it." Mrs. Lin asked someone to bring a sandalwood box.
Come here and hand it to Qingxiang's hand.
Qingxiang opened the box and let Mrs. Lin take a look.
"Why are you bringing these things all this way and costing you so much? Your brothers and the others are always there to take care of you, so you don't have to worry." Mrs. Lin said as she raised her hand to let Qingxiang put the box away.
After a quick glance, she could tell that there was a century-old ginseng, at least three hundred years old. Mrs. Lin was still very satisfied with Mrs. Lin's success.
"I heard that you came here this time to ask the boy Wenbo to go first?" Since I accepted the gift, I naturally wanted to express my concern for Mrs. Lin's affairs.
"To be honest with my mother, there are really no good teachers in Song County. The teacher who taught Wenbo before said that Wenbo is still a little clever, so he asked us to come to the capital to find someone to teach him. That's why we came, but when we arrived in the capital, we didn't care.
It's dark. After all, I have been away from the capital for so long, so I have to ask my mother for help." Mrs. Lin took the opportunity to speak out her request.
After hearing this, Mrs. Lin felt confident that her purpose was the same as she had guessed. However, Mrs. Lin was not very willing to take action in hiring a husband for her son.
"Although there is still one year before the scientific examination, all the famous gentlemen in the capital have been invited by the high-ranking disciples. It is not easy to find an outstanding gentleman for Wenbo." Mrs. Lin pretended to be embarrassed.
said.
"Then what should we do?" Mrs. Lin looked worried.
"Why don't you let Wenbo go to an academy to study for a year? There are many outstanding people in this famous academy. The best academy in the capital is just a matter of a word from your eldest brother." Mrs. Lin said.
"But the gentleman in this academy can't always take care of Wenbo alone. Can he succeed in his studies?" Mrs. Lin's words were a little uncertain.
"Do you think it's so easy to get into the academy?" Mrs. Lin raised her eyebrows, seeming to complain about Mrs. Lin's tendency to give up when she sees someone good. "That means you have to go through five levels and kill six generals, and you can only be admitted if you pass the academy's assessment.
.”
"Then I will listen to mother." Mrs. Lin seemed to be frightened by Mrs. Lin's momentum and quickly agreed.
Mrs. Lin was very satisfied with her performance. The favor required to invite a famous teacher was much greater than entering the academy, but the century-old ginseng was not enough for her to sacrifice face, so she arranged for Dong Wenbo to enter the academy.
This is Mrs. Lin's greatest favor to them.
Mrs. Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The ginseng was really not free. She knew that Mrs. Lin would not easily agree to help and ask her husband to teach Dong Wenbo alone, so she said this deliberately. The more she expressed her unwillingness to let her son enter the academy, the more she expressed her unwillingness to let her son enter the academy.
The more Mrs. Lin would let him go there.
This method of retreating into progress has been tried and tested by Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Lin struck while the iron was hot and said hello to the boss of the Lin family and asked him to arrange for Dong Wenbo to enter a famous academy in the capital. Only then did Mrs. Lin feel relieved.
Come.
Dong Yuzhen was also taken down and met several cousins.
I just greeted several aunts in Mrs. Lin's house. Although my eldest aunt Yang is now in charge of the family, Mrs. Lin still has to decide some things, so what Mrs. Lin wants cannot be obtained by Dong Yuzhen.
After Mrs. Lin finished talking about the business, the ladies started talking to her about everyday things, which allowed Dong Yuzhen to go out and get some air.
"Hello, cousin, hello, cousin." Dong Yuzhen met several ladies from the Lin family and greeted them out loud first. According to Chang's mother's teachings, it's not weird to be polite to many people. It's better to say hello first than to have others pick out gifts.
"Cousin Yuzhen is here." The speaker was Lin Qinglan, the daughter of Mr. Lin Er. Now that Lin Qingyue had married early, she was the eldest young lady in the family. She was also the calmest, so she took the lead.
Say hello to avoid Dong Yuzhen being embarrassed.
"Cousin Yuzhen, you must have had a hard journey." Lin Qinglan asked Dong Yuzhen to sit down at the table.
"Thank you Cousin Lan for your concern. My mother and brother took care of me along the way, so it's okay." Dong Yuzhen replied cautiously.
"We haven't seen each other for two years. Cousin Yuzhen's face seems to be much better." Lin Qinglan looked at Dong Yuzhen carefully.
"Yes, all the pimples on cousin Yuzhen's face are gone." Lin Qingxue, the daughter of the third master of the Lin family, also came in front of Dong Yuzhen and looked at her face carefully. "Cousin Yuzhen, how did you do it? Before
The doctor still says it can’t be cured?”
"Actually, it's nothing. I'm just a little internally angry. I'll be fine after taking some medicine." Dong Yuzhen wouldn't tell them that she was fine because of Lin Zhu's help and taught her many beauty tips. And her own skin was also getting better.
Because of the special grains and vegetables of Lin Zhu's family, they couldn't let them know about this. Even his father had hidden it, so why would he tell them? He always laughed at himself before, but now he is dumbfounded.
Bar.
Several ladies from the Lin family all came forward to look at Dong Yuzhen's face, and were amazed at how smooth her skin was. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, your
