"As the saying goes, there are only those who can be thieves for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days." Daiyu continued: "If you want to worry about being on guard every day, it's better to solve the problem from the root cause. Do you remember Lian After my sister broke off the engagement, what did my mother do first?"

"Tell Mother Chen to spread the real news quietly in Beijing!" Lu Qing's eyes lit up.

Daiyu nodded and smiled: "That's it. At the beginning, Lin Chang just retired. Although his reputation was damaged, it was not irreparable. It can be said that his parents were short-sighted. Elder sister is also not good, so mother just let the news spread quietly."

"But it's different this time. The entire capital is full of uproars over Xia's disturbance. Who doesn't know that Lin Chang, a member of Duke Chu's family, is restless and let his ex-wife's maid kill his mother?"

Lu Qing frowned and thought carefully, and said slowly: "So, no matter what Lin Chang's family has done before, our family has to show an attitude, and send people to help their family through this hurdle. And, just This incident has caused a lot of trouble, and our family is kind to his family, which can be seen by everyone in the capital."

"In this way, if Lin Chang really turns against him in the future, he is really an ungrateful person. Even if he is used to discredit our family, who will believe it?"

Daiyu nodded, and said: "A few years ago, our family had few relatives. There was no one in the relative clan, only some offshoot clan members. I was the only daughter in the family. My parents were afraid that I would not have people from the same clan to help me, so I decided to go back to the clan. I picked a few good seedlings from here and brought them back to cultivate. I don’t want them to be grateful from now on, but I just want to raise a few who can do practical things, one can strengthen the lintel, and the other can protect me.”

"Although our family doesn't have to worry about this much now, the work is halfway done, and we can't give up halfway. Even if Lin Chang is not bribed by others, and their father and son Fuling return to the clan, there is no guarantee that they will not say something bad .Not all the people in the clan are transparent, why should we try our best to be misunderstood?"

"But Xing'er's marriage was arranged early, and with Xing'er's own sister in comparison, who in the clan can say that our family has a grudge because of the divorce and deliberately suppressed Lin Chang's family? But It's a dowry of thousands of silver, in exchange for the cleanliness of the family, and the life of Sister Xing, why not do it."

On the first day of April, Lin Hai officially took up his post at the Ministry of Household Affairs. It was also the day when the results of the examination were released. Lin Ling, who won the Juren last year, also quit this year.

But last year, Lin Ling only got No. 80 in Jiangsu, which is really not a good ranking. Lin Hai also said that he is not knowledgeable enough, so he will not be on the list this year. He is still young, and it is not too late to take the exam after passing two or three subjects.

Lin Ling was not restless, and after the stage, he continued to read and compose with his husband earnestly, but Lin Hai even praised Wen Jiao after returning to his room.

When the list was released on the first day of April, Lin Ling was indeed not on the list.Young people always have the spirit of a teenager, no matter how stable they are on weekdays, they can't help but feel a little lost at this time.

Wen Jiao asked about Lin Ling's situation, so he called their brothers over to talk, and said with a smile, "Your uncle and grandfather also said that as long as you study hard for a few more years, you will have a second-class background. Even he is Tanhua won at the age of 19, you are only eighteen this year, so why worry?"

When the two brothers Lin Ling and Lin Feng came to Beijing with the Lin family, they were still young. Lin Ling was only 11 years old, and Lin Feng was even younger, only eight years old.

To this day, they have all stayed in the Lin Mansion for seven or eight years, and they have been living in the Lin Mansion for basic necessities of life, food, housing, transportation, schooling, and study. They have long regarded the Lin Mansion as their second home.

When Lin Hai was serving as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment in Beijing, he would also take time to teach them a few times a month, and Wen Jiao was even more caring here.When Lin Hai was transferred to Ganzhou, Lin Ming and Bai Shuang stayed in the mansion, and both cared about them very much.

Back then, when Lin Hai was selecting people from the clan, he first valued the children's conduct, and secondly, he valued the children's abilities.Five children were picked to come to Beijing that year, and now except for Lin Chang, the remaining four are all grateful.

Even Lin Chang was not like this.Wen Jiao was able to promise Yinglian to him at the beginning because he had seriously examined Lin Chang's character.

There are many reasons why this kid is what he is now.Poor and rich can best tell what a person is like. Lin Chang's parents obviously did not stand the test of Lin Chang's 17-year-old Zhongju.

But Lin Fu worked so hard to clean up his family's mess, so it was a blessing in disguise?At least no matter what the reason was, after Lin Ling was elected, he and Lin Feng's parents did not dare to get complacent. They always wrote letters with a very humble attitude, and never questioned how the Lin family taught their children.

Just a few days ago, Wen Jiao received a letter from the family again, from Lin Ling, Lin Feng's parents, Lin Wang and Song, saying that the two children were both old, and begged his wife to choose a marriage for the two children, and believed in his wife. The decision must be excellent, blah blah blah.

Originally because of Lin Chang's matter, Wen Jiao was a little lazy to find a marriage for Brother Lin Ling and Lin Feng, okay, what if another white-eyed wolf is raised?

But seeing the two children today, and thinking of this letter with simple words and sincerity, Wen Jiao finally sighed slightly in his heart, and said with a smile: "Study is a lifetime thing, so don't rush it. If you don't have the real ability to be an official , How to govern a place? It is not a bad thing to enter the officialdom later and have more things in the stomach."

"But there is one thing that has to be urgent. Ling'er, you are already this year, and you should make a marriage. Feng'er is also fifteen, not too young. What kind of daughter-in-law do you want? With me Tell me, so I can find it for you.”

The content of the conversation suddenly changed from reading to looking for a wife, which made the two young men blush.The two of them looked at each other, Lin Ling, who was the elder brother, bowed his head first and said, "I listen to my uncle and grandma."

Great-uncle, tsk.Wen Jiao couldn't help having a toothache.

She's a bit older... She's only thirty this year, and Lin Feng will get married in two years. Doesn't that mean there will be teenage girls calling her uncle?

But thinking that Lin You is only 22 years old this year, but he is of the same generation as Lin Hai, and also the uncle of the two young men, Wen Jiao immediately accepted it.

She looked at the blushing faces of the two brothers below, and knew that there was nothing left to ask today, so she smiled and said, "How can you listen to me for all the important matters of marriage in your life? You should also know that I always look after the children first." If you like it, you have to decide on the marriage. It's just that you are too embarrassed to tell me, and I will tell you Second Uncle Ming tomorrow, and I will just ask him."

Tomorrow, he was planning to bring the three girls of the family into the palace, so Wen Jiao didn't keep the two brothers, and after saying a few more words, he said with a smile: "I won't delay your class, go quickly."

Lin Ling and Lin Feng blushed and stood up to say goodbye. When Wen Jiao saw that they were about to walk out of the courtyard, his younger brother poked his elder brother. The elder brother turned his head and said something.

The spring was bright outside, and all kinds of flowers in the yard were in full bloom. Wen Jiao couldn't help being dazed for a while, and then came back to his senses and asked, "Are you sure Lin Chang didn't win?"

Xiao Man said: "I'm sure. Our family has carefully checked the list several times, and it is true that Uncle Chang's name is not there."

Wen Jiao said quickly: "That's fine. Even if he wins the imperial examination, it makes him feel even more uncomfortable. Don't do anything to make it look bad. I hope he has kept his filial piety in the past three years in the Hui family, and can reflect more quietly. Just understand more."

The girls didn't dare to speak, and Wen Jiao didn't say any more, and said with a smile: "Go and invite all the girls, and say that I'm going to test them. If there is nothing important today, I will put it in Shenchu ​​back in the afternoon." talk."

Only then did there be voices in the room, the maids invited people, those who passed on messages, those who brought tea served tea, those who brought snacks brought snacks, and when the three girls came over, they even greeted each other repeatedly.

Lu Qing was taught by Daiyu for more than ten days, but Yinglian didn't know what to do.Wen Jiao saw it, and smiled at her: "You don't have to be afraid, Qing'er is reckless, and also represents the Lu family's face, so I want Daiyu to suppress her, and there must be no mistakes."

"You and Yu'er are both children I brought in, and there is not as much pressure as Qing'er. Besides, you have a calm and quiet temperament. When you enter the palace, you just need to act as usual."

Lu Qing opened his eyes wide, and said with a mournful face: "I knew that it was the hardest for me alone."

Daiyu was holding a hosta in her hand, and when she saw her like this, she took the hairpin and knocked her hand off. Lu Qing immediately stopped sighing, and his expression became soft and generous.

Wen Jiao and Yinglian looked at each other and smiled.On that day, Lu Qing offended Daiyu by saying something wrong. In the past few days, Daiyu used the reason that "Qing'er's first entry into the palace is a major event, and it must not be neglected" to make Lu Qing, from the first moment she opened her eyes, Just keep your demeanor until you fall asleep before you can rest.

In the past few days, Lu Qing has suffered a lot, but the effect is also very obvious.Wen Jiao could tell that Lu Qing was becoming more and more natural and generous now, unlike before, where he could see some traces of careful attention.

Daiyu knocked on Lu Qing, then smiled and said, "Qing'er, don't complain either. It's all because your elder brother was young and promising, he became the Duke of the country at a young age, and Aunt Ge also has a job. Stand up for the Lu family in Beijing. You are a younger sister, and you are the only Lu family in Beijing, so you naturally have to take on this responsibility, right?"

Is it because the wife is reluctant to marry sister Yu'er and brother as soon as possible, if it is sister Yu'er who comes forward, it is justified, how can it be my business?

Lu Qing kept muttering in his heart, but his face remained calm, extremely decent.
