Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 9 Xiao Wu Becomes Famous

On the day of her sister's wedding, Lin Qingran, the fifth young lady of the Lin family who was only six years old, defeated the groom's three best men with her own efforts, and stopped the bridegroom from outside with three poems.

Words like this spread throughout the city of Luodu the day after the eldest daughter of the Lin family got married.

There were so many people on the day of the wedding banquet, so after returning home, they casually talked about it, and the story was widely spread, and everyone knew overnight that Master Lin had a very clever daughter.

Three days later, when the eldest girl and uncle returned home, Lin Qingran had already been crowned the title of a child prodigy.

It may have been taught by the adults in the family to set the question to make things difficult for the bridegroom, but this does not affect the impression Lin Qingran left on others. The status of Lin University scholar, which crowns the fifth miss of the Lin family as a child prodigy, isn't she indirectly flattering him.

And this time, Lin Wenxi was hugging his daughter proudly, thinking that she would say a few more words to listen to. It is not uncommon for a six-year-old to be able to compose poems. It is not uncommon for a six-year-old to compose poems to stump his own students. It's strange, compared to He Chengsheng who was stumped, Lin Wenxi felt that this girl was like his own little model, she was smart and loved to read, so a three-year-old child would collude with him to trick her mother to win sympathy and let him go to sleep, so that Where can I find my daughter?

Lin Qingran kindly reminded him, "Father, why don't we go to the front hall and keep the elder sister and elder brother-in-law waiting like this?"

The maid who came outside the house to notify had been waiting for quite a while. Lin Wenxi wrote the last word, put down the pen, looked at it, and finally nodded with satisfaction, "What's the hurry, your mother has something to say to your elder sister."

She was in a hurry, she wanted to see if the elder brother-in-law treated the elder sister well, although it was only three days, but at least she could see something.

Finally, the father-in-law put on airs enough, Lin Wenxi took her to the front hall, only the eldest brother-in-law was there, and the eldest sister was called away by her mother.

The second impression that her eldest brother-in-law gave her was that she was humble. There were no other sisters in the hall, so Lin Qingran didn't want to stay here anymore. She left time for her father to talk to her eldest brother-in-law. She went to Luoying Courtyard. And big sister are here.

After entering the back room, she looked around and happened to see the blushing half of the older sister's face, and smiled and leaned over, "Sister, it's not hot yet, why are you blushing."

Lin Qingyi blushed even more after being asked such a question, and what she had just said to her mother, and poked her cheek, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Lin Qingran stuck out her tongue, seeing her mother's warning eyes, she didn't dare to continue talking, and obediently sat down next to her eldest sister.

Only then did Mrs. Lu continue to care for her daughter, "The He family hasn't separated yet, so Mrs. He is in charge, but the eldest and second wife have many things separated. You are the eldest daughter-in-law, and these things have to follow you Mother-in-law, learn more."

"Mother, I know." Lin Qingyi nodded.

Mrs. Lu patted her hand, and then the voice was not so gentle, "Remember, although our Lin family is not an aristocratic family, we never say that we are inferior. If you are in the He family, whoever thinks you look down, don't polite."

The phenomenon that the Lu family mentioned is actually a criticism in the city of Luodu. The royal family thinks they are superior to everyone, and the aristocratic family looks down on the Lin family. The background is not deep, but someone in the family has a big official position, referred to as the nouveau riche in the officialdom. Officials look down on businessmen, businessmen look down on commoners, and commoners look down on beggars on the roadside. In fact, many people don't distinguish between different classes.

There was such a twinkle in Lin Qingyi's eyes, but Lu didn't notice it, but slowly explained to her, "You have put on your own identity, no one will underestimate you, if you feel that you are inferior to those in the He family Some, then no one will think highly of you."

Thinking of the scene of serving tea two days ago, Lin Qingyi nodded seriously, "Don't worry, mother, my daughter won't think so."

Lin Qingran heard that she had benefited a lot.

Surviving in that century-old family is really a lot of skills.

After early lunch in the evening, He Chengsheng took Lin Qingyi back, Lu Shi looked a little melancholy, when Lin Wenxi came over at night, she just said, "Young uncle looks good, but I don't know if I can protect Qingyi well. "She has been married for many years, and she knows how important it is for her husband to love and support her. Only when the husband and wife are of the same heart can they cut money.

"Why not, his temperament is considered good among them. You are worried that the big girl will not be able to handle it if she marries into the He family. Then you have to look at what the He family has cultivated. It is definitely not bad." Men look at men , It depends on moral character and conduct in the world. As for emotional matters, it definitely doesn't make sense.

Mrs. Lu was not much persuaded by him, Lin Wenxi said again, "Today you are worried about one, what will you do when all the seven daughters in our family are married?"

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Lu felt even more melancholy. Lin Wenxi didn't give her time to think about it, so she blew out the lamp, smeared her, and put her arms around her.
It was April, and more than a month had passed. In the city of Luodu, things about the Fifth Miss of the Lin family gradually became less and less. The Lin Mansion suddenly received a post from the palace. In the middle of April, the Inner Palace organized a lake tour and invited Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin went together, and it was specifically marked in the post that Mrs. Lu was asked to bring Fifth Miss of the Lin family there.

Mrs. Lu didn't understand what the empress meant by doing this. The matter of Xiao Wu had long faded in the past. After all, she was only a child. She didn't expect to attract the attention of the palace. She used the name of the empress. Which concubine made the idea, who knows.

Seeing her frowning, Mama Wang said, "Why don't you let Fifth Miss call you sick, and Miss will take Second and Third Miss over there."

Mrs. Lu shook her head, "It's fine to say you were sick before this post, but now that the post has arrived, it took more than ten days to stay sick, it's too deliberate." At that time, you may not know how ugly the words will be.

After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Lu still planned to wait for her husband to come back to discuss it at night. Finally, she asked Ms. Wang, "Listen, the Nuan Pavilion has been cleaned up. Has the old woman been found? We have chosen someone. Let her take advantage of the heat before it's too hot." Let’s move in and get used to it.”

"Okay, come here at Shen Shi."

"I'll sleep for a while. It's almost time to wake me up." Mrs. Lu was a little tired, so she lay down and fell asleep. Ms. Wang closed the door and went to listen to the Nuan Pavilion. Ms. Li and the others had finished packing.

In the afternoon, Ms. Wang came into the room and asked Mrs. Lu to wake up. She still felt a little groggy. After washing, she went to the outer room. Ten little girls came in, all dressed cleanly, and all of them looked good at first glance.

Mrs. Lu looked down and looked at the toothmaid, "That's all?"

The toothmaid looked at her flatteringly, "Of course not. If Madam doesn't like these, there are others out there." The people brought this time are obviously the best, and the toothmaid is also a good person. Buying someone, the owner's mother will go out on her own, this must be to choose a maid for the lady in the house, so this time, all the treasures in the box have been brought out.

With a wave of his hand, another ten people were replaced. Mrs. Lu asked about the situation of the family one by one, and finally six servant girls were left behind.

The few bought by Lu's are all dead contracts, and people will go to the homes of these six people to find out if the situation is as they said. After that, these six people will be handed over to the mother below to teach the rules and teach them how to behave. Well, let’s serve people again.

After being optimistic about the person, the Lu family sent someone to bring over the account books. He still felt that he could not wake up from his afternoon nap. He got up and wanted to stand up and walk around, but he fainted and almost fell on the seat.

The maid behind her quickly supported her, "Ma'am, are you alright?"

Mrs. Lu shook her head, "It's too hasty to get up, it's not in the way." Standing up, Mrs. Lu went outside, and felt better after blowing the wind for a while, thinking that it should be affected by the current season, Lin Wenxi came back at night, Lu Shi was still a little weary.

Lin Wenxi saw her like this, "Ask a doctor to take a look at it tomorrow, no matter how sleepy you are, it won't be like this."

Mrs. Lu directly showed him the post sent by the palace, "What do you mean by empress?" In particular, the empress is not that kind of person either, "Your Majesty mentioned Xiao Wu before."

Seeing his wife getting nervous, Lin Wenxi comforted her, "It's just an exaggeration, I didn't say anything else. If the man is really interested, let your husband-in-law take me to the palace to show him."

Today's Holy Majesty, the way he does things is quite characteristic (ragged).

Lin Wenxi never thought of intervening in matters in the palace, and he would not do so. Although the crown prince stood up, the Holy Majesty did not like it. This is well known. There are not many people who act behind the scenes. In his opinion, the inner There are more stupid people in the palace than smart ones, so he has no interest in letting his children go in, "Xiao Wu is not at this age, and our family is not a relative of the emperor. Why are you going? This post itself has problems, so let the children pretend sick."

Mrs. Lu sighed, "You said it lightly." At the end, he glared at him again, "I said it's not good for the child to be wise too early, but you still said it was very good. When Xiao Wu was born, you caught Concubine Shu's attention. You Still lightly saying nothing, look now!"

After being pinched by his wife, Lin Wenxi groaned, "What's so wrong with this child being smart? They just want to watch it because they are greedy and envious. It's normal for a child to suddenly get sick. When you go to the lake on the day you go, you can go directly to see it." It is said that Xiao Wu is sick and is being raised at home, can the queen make things difficult for you?"

Holding his wife's hand, Lin Wenxi comforted him again, "I know what you are worried about. I am afraid that people will say that you did it on purpose and didn't take Xiao Wu there, but those people can't stop their mouths. If you take it, there will still be people Say you show off." Envious and jealous, their Lin family doesn't want to be close to the royal family, and some people want to go.

Lin Wenxi was more concerned about her bad face, and stretched out his hand to cover her forehead, "Is it uncomfortable?"

Mrs. Lu shook her head, "Please ask a doctor to take a look at it tomorrow."

Blow out the lamp to rest.

On the second day, the doctor hadn't been invited over yet, not long after Lu got up, he suddenly fainted
