"So what if he joins the Imperial Army? He is just a corps commander. Let alone whether he can go up. If he unfortunately dies in the process of suppressing bandits or attacking rogue bandits, it would be a pity for this Lin family member.
The eldest grandson is here!”
Hearing this, the second lady's eyes lit up.
"My mother-in-law said that my daughter-in-law thinks too much."
Princess Rongkang glanced sideways at her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang. She was not very smart, but her family background was not bad.
So sometimes she just turned a blind eye and passed it by.
"Don't worry about Dafang's affairs. They will go through their own hardships. How is Guangzhi doing? Is it okay to study in the Imperial College?"
The Lin Guangzhi mentioned by Princess Rongkang is the second young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He is also the only grandson of Princess Rongkang, so everyone in the Lin family attaches great importance to him.
It was just that he had been raised too delicately since he was a child, and he had the temperament of a playboy, so Princess Rongkang found a way to send him to the Imperial College to hone his skills.
It's been two months since I left, but I haven't seen any news back.
He and Wang continued to talk about the excitement in Shengjing City.
"Not good. It looks like she has lost some weight. And although she hasn't spoken, I can see that she has some difficulty in her legs and feet. She may be recovering from a sprain."
After hearing this, Lin Xingzhi smiled mockingly.
Not to mention any cultivation and instruction.
"Guangzhi learns quickly, but he is more playful. If given time, he will definitely achieve great things."
It's simply that he's not too old now, so we can find some errands for him after he grows up, and his temperament will get better naturally.
He comforted in a low voice.
Now that he is about thirteen years old, he has only seen his grandfather in person a handful of times.
"Mom, brother is not the kind of impulsive person. There must be a reason for him to do this. How about you listen carefully and then make a decision?"
As soon as the eldest lady heard this, she slumped down on the stool. If Lin Muzhi hadn't been supporting her, she would have fallen to the ground.
When Mrs. Wang mentioned her son, she naturally beamed with joy.
Lin Xingzhi knelt on the ground and let him talk, but his face was so firm that it was useless for anyone to say anything.
Princess Rongkang snorted coldly.
"The child is right, just listen to what Hesong said."
"What!"
Several questions were thrown out one after another, and Lin Xingzhi had no words to reply.
"Father, you still can't understand what happened now? When did Xikuoyuan and Ronghetang regard us as a family? They forced Qianqian to enter the palace to be favored by Concubine Lin, and suppressed my brother and me, not letting us go.
We have a bright future, and it is hard to find our mother every day. Over the years, except for giving us a smile when asking for money, when have you ever looked at the people in Dongkuo Courtyard?"
Especially my mother, who is so worried that she looks a bit old compared to the second lady in the West Cross Courtyard next door.
The young man's childish face is much more calm and composed. Among the grandchildren of the Lin family, he is the most like Mr. Lin in terms of appearance.
The person sent in by Prince Zhan's Mansion is also the grandson whom Prime Minister Lin's Mansion holds in his hand. Is it possible that there will be people who would find him unhappy?
He looked at his eldest son with red eyes and said.
"Father, where are you going?"
"I mean, how is Guangzhi studying?"
"I'll go to the next door courtyard and ask, isn't their girl a concubine in the palace? How can I watch my sister being bullied like this! After all, she is of Lin family's blood, and she doesn't care about family ties at all.
?”
Seeing that what the father and son said was reasonable, Ms. Dong slowly stopped crying.
But seeing the hurried expression on Mrs. Dong's face, although he couldn't bear it, he had to tell the truth.
Instead, the youngest son Lin Muzhi, who was standing by, came out, first pulled the eldest lady Dong to sit down, and then handed over the handkerchief.
Uncle Lin was also comforting his wife. Where did the family have any grudge? Just talk about it.
Princess Rongkang, who loves her grandson very much, cares about her every day, fearing that she will miss any letter from home.
On the other hand, in Dongkua Courtyard, Mrs. Dong heard the news that Lin Xingzhi was going to join the army, and she almost didn't catch it.
Lin Xingzhi took a deep breath and looked at his relatives with a serious face.
It's a pity that Tuo was born in Dongkua Courtyard and received very little attention from his grandfather since he was a child.
"Mom, I met Qian Qian during the dragon boat race."
Uncle Lin was so angry that he punched the corner of the table and immediately stood up and wanted to rush out.
There is nothing more sad than a heart-breaking moment.
This second daughter-in-law really has no brains.
So he said slowly.
"What? How is she? Is she okay? Has she lost weight?"
"And on that day, she was framed and fell into the water. If I hadn't been there to fish her out, I'm afraid what we would hear now would be bad news."
"Don't worry, mother-in-law, don't you know what kind of character Guangzhi's child has? He is lively and lovable. It is said that everyone in the Imperial Academy is polite to him."
"You are crazy. Now that Qianqian has entered the palace, it will be difficult to see him in the future. Your father and I are the only ones with you two brothers. If you leave, what will we do? Then what if the sword has no eyes on the battlefield...
…How do you expect your father and I to survive?”
It is true that a loving mother often loses her sons.
Although Lin Muzhi is young, his words are very convincing.
The elder Lin Guangzu also looked at his son with a sad expression on his face. Several words came to his lips but he could not say them out.
"Tell yourself why you have to join this army!"
"My son, why have everyone suffered so much?"
Thinking of this, Princess Rongkang relaxed a little.
She cried sadly, but Lin Xingzhi did not stop and continued to rub salt into her wounds.
Mrs. Dong was crying and scolding at the same time.
"Aren't you going to argue? Look, will your second uncle take care of you? Or will your second aunt take care of you? One of them is Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel, and the other is the daughter of the Minister of War. Take a look at the people in our courtyard.
, my mother is the daughter of a merchant, and you are just an eighth-grade official serving as a sinecure in the Qintian Prison. How can we compare with the other side? How can we compete? "
Lin Xingzhi's eyes turned red as he revealed the fact that his family had been bullied for many years.
Everyone in the room was frightened by him, especially Uncle Lin who stood there and didn't dare to move.
"My mother asked me, why do I want to join the army? It's because my son no longer wants to be a fish on the chopping board! If we don't want to climb up and still stay in this square world, sooner or later, I and my younger brother will too.
Becoming a stepping stone to the courtyard next door, and Qian Qian, a concubine in the harem with no family to rely on, do you know what life will be like?"
"She may still be of some use to the imperial concubine today and can save her life, but who knows what will happen in the future. Is it possible that she will depend on the imperial concubine for her whole life? Think about it for yourselves, is it reliable?"
