Chapter 485: The Beautiful and Charming Young Husband (60)
On the day of the palace examination, Lin Jinyu got up early in the morning. With excitement in her heart, she and Lu Mingfei took their eldest son and youngest daughter and sent their second daughter into the palace.

She didn't know what the emperor of this world was like, but she could understand a little from the words of the people that he was a wise ruler, but his shortcoming was that he was a bit lustful.

But no one is perfect. It's okay to be lustful but not too serious about it.

The family sat in a carriage not far from the outer perimeter of the palace, waiting nervously, as if it was them, not the second daughter, who was taking the exam.

Lu Mingfei looked at everyone and finally decided to talk about the past. But it was not his experience, but his former family's.

The Lu family's main residence is not in the capital, but in Dongyang City, which is relatively close to the capital. Because it is close to the capital, the business is also relatively prosperous. There are also many officials. In short, those who can live there are either rich or noble.

The Lu family is a small county magistrate in Dongyang City. Although the official position is not high, to be able to become an official in such a wealthy place, one must either have a wealthy family or a wide network of contacts.

Lu Mingfei's mother was a good scholar. Although she didn't make many achievements in the officialdom, she didn't make any mistakes either. The only thing she couldn't figure out was her family affairs.

He treated his first wife's children harshly and allowed his step-wife to abuse his first wife's children. In order to make way for his own youngest son, he did not hesitate to frame Lu Mingfei and even sold him like a servant.

Outsiders knew the truth. They only knew that the eldest son of the Lu family was a scoundrel with a bad reputation. Because he wanted to kill his own brother, he was sent to live in a manor by the head of the Lu family.

As for selling it out? They didn't know. They only knew that the head of the Lu family, also known as County Magistrate Lu, was a man who would sacrifice his relatives for the sake of justice.

The Lu family's power in Dongyang City is not very impressive, but ordinary merchants dare not easily provoke them. After all, they are officials appointed by the court, not just ordinary people.

Therefore, even if Lin Jinyu expanded his business, he still did not have the capital to confront County Magistrate Lu head-on. The outcome of the fight between the people and the officials was determined from the beginning.

But now my second daughter is eligible for the palace examination. Even if she doesn't get the top prize, she will be a Jinshi. If she enters the Hanlin Academy, how can her future position be worse than that of a county magistrate?
That is truly a promising future!

Lu Mingfei's face is not as white and tender as before. Twenty years have made him more mature. Because he has lived a good life these years, even if there are a few fine lines, they are not like those of other people.

He looked more dignified and stable, and his previous timidity had disappeared.

"Jinyu, I'm very grateful for your help in saving me back then. If it weren't for you, I might not be in my current situation." If someone else had bought him, perhaps the situation would have changed.

He is actually no longer obsessed with the past, but when he thinks about it afterwards, he still feels a little unwilling.

Why did his father die in such pain, while they were able to live well? Why did his future be judged because of his step-wife's words?
I am like a puppet at the mercy of others, my life is controlled at will, I live a miserable life, and in the end I will be abandoned like a dog.

The dog still has the ability to survive, but what about him? A man without anyone to rely on, I'm afraid his ending in this world will not be very good.

"Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't know." The younger daughter looked guilty and apologized for her past.

When she was a child, she saw other people’s children being held in the arms of their grandparents, and some grandparents and other elderly people happily playing with the children.

But none of the three brothers and sisters had it.

There were no grandparents, no grandparents, only parents and a bunch of servants. At that time, she curiously found her father and asked about his parents, but he was silent and sent her away casually. Thinking about it now, did it hurt her father's heart at that time?
Lu Mingfei smiled indifferently, "It's nothing, just a small matter. Now that you three brothers and sisters have made a difference, I can rest assured."

Lin Jinyu, who was standing by, reached out and held his hand tightly. "Why should you worry about the three of them? Don't you like going outings? When I have some free time, I'll take you to play around. It's just right that someone can take over!"

She didn't care what would happen if she became a hands-off boss. After all, the system was mature now, and the boss only needed to change the decision. These businesses were not going to be lost without the boss. Since they were to be inherited, they had to let go, right?

The little daughter grumbled, "Mom, you are so careless, aren't you afraid that I will squander all your wealth?"

"It's okay. I have a private vault, but it contains things from your father and I. If you squander all your family fortune, go find your sister and ask her to take you in. Hua Nian is getting married, and there's someone who wants him."

The youngest daughter who is not yet an adult and has no engagement: …

I don’t know how long it took, but the second daughter finally came out.

The results of the palace examination were announced on the spot, so everyone knew immediately who won the top spot.

The person who won the first place in the imperial examination was a disciple of a noble family in the capital. He had a handsome appearance and good talent. He had always been the first in the previous exams, and it could be said that he had never fallen from the altar.

The second daughter won the third place simply because she was the most beautiful one in the group.

She sat on the horse, following behind the number one scholar, and the team began to parade towards the bustling streets.

The Lin family's carriage followed behind, and they looked at the figure from afar, with a lot of emotion in their hearts. Their family had produced a third place winner, and their future days would only be better.

People on both sides of the street were cheering loudly, and some young people were sitting in the rooms on the second floor, watching the team below and observing secretly.

Lin Chaohua pursed his lips, the corners of his lips slightly raised, trying to keep himself calm. He was a little excited, but he still sat steadily.

Looking back, she saw the Lin family's carriage following closely behind her, and behind the opened curtains were her family members. The moment they looked at each other, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Dad, I did it! I won't let you down, I said!"

Although Lu Mingfei hadn't done anything or said anything to her in these years, she could feel that he cared a lot about studying.

Not the kind that cares about her future, and there's something else mixed in.

But no matter what, she has done it!

Lin Jinyu sat with her back leaning, looking up at the spirited figure in front of her, and she couldn't help but smile.

It seemed that for a moment, the other party had fulfilled her wish for her. Those imprisoned souls also found some comfort at this moment.
