Chapter 484: The Beautiful and Charming Young Husband (59)
In order to support her daughter's study and imperial examination, Lin Jinyu, who originally wanted to lie down, had to rack her brains to make money. Not only did she have to expand her industry, but she also had to consolidate the forces of all parties.

Originally, she was not a progressive person, but for the sake of her children, she managed to be smooth in everything. As a result, her business grew bigger and bigger, and now it has even opened in the capital.

Over the years, Lu Mingfei also had a daughter. The youngest daughter grabbed a golden abacus at the one-year-old celebration and grew up to be particularly fond of money. The eldest daughter took the imperial examination and the youngest daughter went into business, so there was someone to carry on the family line.

After the eldest son came of age, the threshold of the family home was almost broken down by matchmakers. The Lin family was wealthy, and although it was not the best in the capital, it had a wide network of connections, so if they were to marry, there would be no shortage of benefits.

In addition, her second daughter has great academic talent. She became a candidate for the imperial examination at a young age and even won the first place. She may not be able to get a good score in the official examination next year.

Lin Jinyu has such a wide network of contacts, if her second daughter can really pass the exam, she might achieve great success in the future. It is precisely because of this that many people are clamoring to marry her.

However, most of them were relatively ordinary families, such as the prime minister's mansion or the general's mansion. These aristocratic families did not take them seriously.

After all, they can only be regarded as upstarts. Their future achievements are in the future, and there is no guarantee that they will not fail in the future.

The eldest son had already been engaged to a childhood sweetheart who grew up with him. The other party had a clean family background. Although they were not rich, they were strict in family education. They were from a scholarly family, but not as wealthy as the Lin family.

After this was announced, everyone gave up the idea of ​​marrying the eldest son, but the second daughter, who was not yet an adult, became their target of attention.

And the most important thing is that Lin Jinyu has no concubines, she only has one legal husband.

Such an infatuated woman made many people envious. After all, people with such status and position would usually marry several men and would never favor only one person.

Then they set their sights on Lin Jinyu. If they could catch her eye, with the Lin family's wealth, they would never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Lu Mingfei was not surprised at all and did nothing. He just took a sip of tea and continued to look at the account book in his hand.

"Madam, aren't you anxious?" Uncle Liu was a servant bought when he was in Linjia Village. He has been following her until now and has also held a fairly high position in the inner courtyard.

"worry about what?"

"There are too many rich and powerful people in this capital. If the master..." has other thoughts?
Although he also knew that this was unlikely. After all, he had witnessed the relationship between the two over the years.

Lu Mingfei smiled and shook his head. "No, I believe her. Besides, I already have three children. What am I afraid of?"

Not to mention that he was not worried about Lin Jinyu's idea of ​​taking in a new person, because he believed in her and trusted her. He had three children and was so confident, so what was he afraid of?

The eldest son was about to get married, the second daughter was about to take the imperial examination, and the youngest daughter was being trained as an heir. As long as he behaved himself and didn't cause any trouble, he could live a stable life to the end.

Instead of worrying about this kind of thing, I might as well make an extra bowl of soup for my second daughter so that she won’t have to study so hard.

In fact, Lin Jinyu was almost exhausted in the business world, so how could she have any other thoughts? Except for some necessary social events that required her to go to the restaurant, she basically went home to rest.

Besides, she has already reached this position, why does she need to show up everywhere? So even if those people want to talk to her or want to send people to her, they have to find the people first.

If someone wants to take her to a red-light district, she won't go there and will block them. It's just a business interest, it's not like she can't live without you.

Therefore, those who can become friends with her are not bad people. Although the second daughter is talented in learning, she found out after arriving in the capital that there are many talented people in the capital. Talent is the least worth mentioning thing.

But fortunately, she had a good family background, so she didn't need to worry about other things on weekdays. She just needed to study hard. If she felt tired, she could take the money and go out for an outing to relax.

On the other hand, those who are talented but have poor family backgrounds are truly miserable.

The second daughter used to stay with Lin Jinyu, not to learn business, but to observe the sufferings of the world. And the people selected by the imperial examination will also benefit the people in the future.

So on the day of the exam, she looked at the questions on the test paper and felt confident. Only those who have experienced it can feel it.

Although my result after the exam was not the first place, I was at least in the top five and qualified for the palace examination.

On the day of the results announcement, countless students looked at the names on the red paper and cried. Some people studied hard for decades and finally achieved results.

Some people fainted on the spot because they could not accept the result of failing the exam and their mental tolerance was poor.

Similar stories like Fan Jin's success in the imperial examination are common. After seeing their names on the list, some middle-aged people shouted in surprise like crazy people.

The imperial examination was not the college entrance examination of later times. If you made it on the list, you would get a position as a county magistrate at the worst. This was a chance to bring honor to the family, so how could it not be crazy?
There are tens of thousands of people in the country, but only a few hundred are admitted. Before that, there are also a few hundred people in each city who are admitted from tens of thousands of people. Thousands of troops are crossing a single-plank bridge, and if you are not careful, you can fall off.

When the official came with the news, Lu Mingfei was dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, and there seemed to be tears flashing in his eyes.

"congratulations!"

The neighbors around also came out to watch the fun. Although his current ranking is not first, if the result of the palace examination is in the top three, it will be a great honor.

The second daughter sent the official away very calmly, but after closing the door, she couldn't help but smile.

"Mom, Dad, I passed the exam!" Her tone was excited and trembling slightly.

No matter what, she is still a child who has not yet reached adulthood, and she is still a little unstable in such major matters.

Lin Jinyu walked forward, patted her on the shoulder, and said three words, "Good job!"

"Mom, I told you I won't let you down!"

Then she looked at Lu Mingfei who was standing beside her, "Dad, I will earn you a title in the future and bring you honor!"

"Good, good, good! Very good!" Lu Mingfei was a little excited. He was so excited that he seemed to only be able to say the word "good".

"Second sister! I bought some roasted pigeon from Baiweizhai. Do you want to eat some?" The youngest daughter ran in happily with a bunch of food in her hands.

"Eat! Let's indulge ourselves today!"
