Cheng Wanwan stated his intention.
Mrs. Lin responded immediately: "These are all trivial matters, not worth An Ren's special trip."
"This is no small matter." Cheng Wanwan said, "I am a peasant woman and don't know anything about the capital. When the gift arrives in the capital, I will have to ask the Lin family to help bring it to the palace. I don't know what will happen. I won’t cause any trouble to the Lin family in Beijing.”
"The current head of the Lin family is the direct uncle of our master, who is also the current Taifu. Why bother?" Mrs. Lin said with a smile, and suddenly frowned, "By the way, things are going well in the provincial capital." Has anyone heard of it?"
Cheng Wanwan nodded: "I heard that more than 130 candidates were all disqualified from the examination."
Yun Province produces about two hundred candidates every three years, and more than half of them are disqualified. Yun Province is afraid that it will become a joke of the Daewoo Dynasty in the examination in February next year... However, if Zhao'er ranks high in the examination , maybe it can earn some reputation for Yun Province.
Mrs. Lin asked worriedly: "I wonder if Mr. Cheng..."
"My nephew has never liked gatherings. He just didn't go and escaped." Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "He is going to the capital in a few days. If he goes early, he can rent a small courtyard and get familiar with the capital. The environment, I wonder if I can move forward with the Lin family when the time comes?"
In this era, if the weather is good in some places, there will be droughts or floods in some places, and there will be homeless people almost every year. It is good that the government provides disaster relief in time, but if it is not in time, the refugees turn into bandits and block the road and rob. Very dangerous thing.
Cheng Zhao and Shen Zheng, two scholars, and a group of four, rushed all the way from Yun Province to the capital. There were too many uncertainties on the way. If they could go with the Lin family's birthday convoy, it was an official's convoy after all. There were many uncertainties along the way. Welcomed by the government station, the safety factor directly increased.
Mrs. Lin naturally responded directly. The Sui'an people saved her daughter last time so that her daughter would not be forced to marry into the Zheng family. She had always wanted to do something for the Sui'an people. Now she can help the Sui'an people. Busy, she finally felt more at ease.
The two said something else, and Cheng Wanwan stood up to say goodbye.
Mrs. Lin also wanted to let her have dinner, but she refused. She ate informally, didn't like to follow rules, and couldn't let go in other people's homes.
"Mom, I will send the Sui'an people out together with you."
Miss Lin walked out from the side, wearing a cyan dress. She was very delicate and had the most beautiful appearance of a girl.
Mrs. Lin laughed: "You girl doesn't like entertaining guests the most. Today you even took the initiative to send people from Sui'an. You have finally made some progress."
Miss Lin's pretty face turned slightly red as she sent Cheng Wanwan to the door.
Cheng Wanwan was about to hold Mrs. Qi's hand on the carriage when Miss Lin suddenly took a step forward and whispered: "I'm from Sui'an, I would like to ask, is Master Shen involved?"
Although the incident in the provincial capital was aroused, the names of those arrested were not disclosed in order to protect their reputations, otherwise these people may still be affected by public opinion in the examination three years later.
Because the Yun provincial government did not announce the names, the Lin family could not find out who was imprisoned.
Just now, Miss Lin had been embroidering in the side hall of the flower hall. She only heard her mother ask Mr. Cheng if he was involved, but never mentioned Mr. Shen. She was itchy, so she used the excuse of seeing off guests to inquire. Condition.
Cheng Wanwan was stunned.
A young lady from the boudoir actually asked about Xiao Zheng's situation. What's going on?
She looked at Miss Lin. The girl's face turned red. Emma, couldn't it be what she imagined?
By the way, Xiaozheng said before that if he wins the election, he will ask his godmother to help him propose marriage. Could it be that he has taken a fancy to the eldest lady of the Lin family?
"Rong'er." Mrs. Lin frowned, "Why do you ask this?"
Her daughter is just a blank piece of paper. She used to be able to see through what her daughter was thinking at a glance, but now, she can't even understand what her daughter means by asking this question.
Is it possible that the daughter she raised with such care has really been seduced by someone?
"Xiao Zheng is fine too." Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "Not many people passed the examination in Huzhou this year, so it's normal for Miss Lin to be concerned and ask."
Mrs. Lin pursed her lips.
Is it normal? Not normal at all.
When had her daughter ever cared about such a thing? This behavior was really out of line.
After sending Cheng Wanwan away, Mrs. Lin called her daughter into the boudoir and said with a stern face: "Tell me, what is going on between you and Shen Zheng?"
Miss Lin was very calm at first, but under her mother's stern gaze, she slowly lowered her head, pursed her lips and said: "Last time he came to my rescue, I couldn't thank him properly, so I asked him about his situation. There’s really no other meaning.”
Mrs. Lin wanted to say something more, but she was afraid of having the opposite effect. In the evening, she asked Mr. Lin to talk: "When we go to the capital this time, let Xiao Yan go with us. Firstly, we can give your uncle and his family a room to celebrate the New Year in advance. Secondly, when we come, we can also If we can get closer to Mr. Cheng, if Mr. Cheng goes to the palace and becomes a top three Jinshi, we, Xiao Yan, can be considered to have gotten to know the newly promoted officials of the imperial court in advance."
The legitimate son of the Lin family is called Lin Yan. He is thirteen years old this year and is only a child. Master Lin has high expectations for him.
Even though the head of the Lin family is the current Taifu, he is his uncle, who is a step further away. The uncle is rigid and upright, and it is clearly stipulated that all Lin family members must obtain fame through their own abilities. If they do not have this ability, then... Go into business, that is to say, if Xiaoyan doesn't work hard, he may become a businessman in the future.
Who wants their children to go into business?
Master Lin nodded immediately: "I have something to deal with. You go and talk to Xiao Yan."
Mrs. Lin called her son over and explained the matter in detail. Lin Yan was immediately delighted. He had grown up in the capital. Because his father was away in exile, he had to come here with him. After being away from his hometown, he was actually very uncomfortable. Returning this time Jing can at least stay until the end of the new year, and without parents to look after him, his life will be so free.
"This time when you return to the capital, there are two other people who will be with you. One is Cheng Zhao, who was the head of the previous court examination, and the other is Shen Zheng, the young master of the Shen family. You should learn more from Cheng Zhao. Article, in addition -" Mrs. Lin paused, "A year ago, Shen Zheng was said to be impossible to be a scholar, but now he has become a scholar. You can also deal with Shen Zhengduo."
Lin Yan nodded: "Mom, I remember everything."
Mrs. Lin sighed. After all, she was a little reluctant to let go of her son, but she hoped that her son would really learn something after this trip. She also had a small selfish intention, that is, she hoped that her son could get in close contact with Shen Zheng. Only after getting along deeply can we see What is a person's heart like?
