After Zhu and others arrived in the capital and settled in, they immediately began to pay attention to Lin Hai's marriage. Zhu and Lin Xuefeng discussed that it would be better to use the joy of moving as an excuse to hold a banquet at home and invite Lin Xuefeng's colleagues and friends.

Now that we are ready to live in the capital, the Lin family must

Similar people have a lot of social interactions and a harmonious relationship. In the past, before the Zhu family came to Beijing, the Lin family did not have a mistress to entertain and entertain, and no one else would find fault with it, but now the situation is different. But the main reason is that this can be used as an excuse.

, inviting those who are interested in marrying with the Lin family to come to the Lin Mansion to meet.

"Master, in five days, it will be the imperial court's holiday. It happens that the begonia flowers are in full bloom in our home, and I am planning to hold a house-warming banquet. The master and I have posted separately, inviting their whole family to come.

Let's have a banquet, drink wine, admire flowers, and have fun all day long. I am entertaining ladies and ladies in the inner courtyard, so I can take the opportunity to carefully observe the talents of those girls.

Their appearance and character." Mrs. Zhu said to Lin Xuefeng: "Master, please entertain the male guests in the outer courtyard, and also take the opportunity to explore their tone and ask questions." Seeing Lin Xuefeng looking at her with a somewhat puzzled look, Mrs. Zhu lightly

Smiling softly: "Master, you have forgotten that Jiayun has already decided on a family, but Jianan is getting bigger now, so he needs to start organizing things quickly."

"It's hard for you to remember her!" Lin Xuefeng sighed sincerely. To be fair, it is rare for an aunt to be as good as Mrs. Zhu. Lin Jiayun's dowry was all prepared by Mrs. Zhu, and he saw what she had planned.

The dowry list is prepared in detail

As a result, in addition to the property in the palace, Mrs. Zhu herself also provided a lot of money for her private house. Everyone praised Mrs. Zhu's generosity and kindness. Not only Lin Jiayun was grateful, but her biological mother and aunt also talked about her wife.

kind words

"Master, thank you!" Mrs. Zhu said calmly: "Everyone is doing this for the good of the Lin family. Is everything going to be harmonious for the family?"

Lin Xuefeng paused after hearing this, and felt something strange in his heart. The way Zhu was getting along with him now was more and more polite. The two of them were less like a couple, and more like colleagues who cooperated harmoniously. However, he remembered that it was him who took the initiative back then.

Alienated from Mr. Zhu

However, Mrs. Zhu never expressed any complaints. She was still responsible and virtuous in everything, and treated herself with gentleness and respect. Lin Xuefeng felt apologetic in his heart. He was indebted to her, so why should he care about her not being close to him?

It's really a double standard.

"Thank you for your hard work, madam!" Lin Xuefeng said warmly: "Let's make a good marriage arrangement for Hai'er and Jianan as soon as possible, and it will take care of our worries. If Hai'er can be named on the gold medal list again, then we will have nothing to worry about!"

"That's what the master said!" Zhu Shi smiled.

Seeing Lin Xuefeng's back gradually disappearing from his eyes, Zhu showed a bitter smile and said softly: "If Hai'er becomes a Jinshi and the Lin family becomes prosperous again, I will have no regrets!"

Zhu's banquet was held in a lively manner. Zhu's keen eyesight made him closely observe the target girl while chatting and laughing with the ladies. After that, Zhu went to the banquet with them one after another.

After attending several banquets, I roughly decided on a few candidates. Lin Xue

After Feng communicated with her, he found that the two of them had the same vision. They both liked girls who had a simple and harmonious family relationship and came from a civil servant family. Not to mention how beautiful the girls themselves were, at least they were delicate, elegant, generous in behavior, and both studied.

Those who are literate also have their own little hobbies.

This is a special request made by Lin Xuefeng. The customs in the north and the south are different. The literary style is prosperous in the south, and wealthy families also pay attention to the education of their daughters. Many of them hire female teachers to teach them how to read at home. The emphasis of a scholarly family is to have poetry in their belly.

Bookish from China

's style. Just like the Zhu family, although her mother-in-law taught her three obediences and four virtues before she came out of the palace, she also taught them some things about reading and housekeeping. Later, when Zhu's housekeeper was interested in leisure time, he would write a few poems and draw pictures.

A few strokes, the level can be said to be passable. Yes

Several times, Zhu even wrote poems to ask him to respond, but he reluctantly dealt with it, alas! But it is very different in the north. It is really "a woman's virtue is to have no talent"! Girls from noble families are illiterate and cannot read.

There are also many people who only read "Women's Rules". But

Lin Hai was originally a scholar from the south of the Yangtze River. His environment and upbringing made it difficult for him to accept this. Northern official families who pay attention to raising their daughters will have open-minded and relaxed families. Only with such in-laws can everyone be compatible

.

Although this era was an arranged marriage, it would be too bad if the two people who became husband and wife had no common language throughout their lives, had nothing to say to each other, and were not on the same road at all. Most men in ancient times were very hypocritical.

, he talks about putting morality first, but in his heart he has a sweet dream of adding fragrance to his red sleeves, haha! Lin Xuefeng doesn’t want to form a pair of enemies himself and make both of them suffer.

Among the girls Zhu favored, one was the daughter of Doctor Xu of the Ministry of Rites, the other was the niece of Editor Wu of the Hanlin Academy, and the other was the granddaughter of Sun Jiancheng, the Imperial Academy’s Imperial Academy. They all came from scholarly families and came from official families.

But he is not a particularly prominent powerful person, which is exactly what the Lin family wants. Qi Dafei, the son-in-law of a wealthy family has a hard time, and the Lin family does not want to climb high, which will insult the character of the Lin family. The Zhu family is hesitant among these girls.

, couldn't decide for the moment. She discussed with Lin Xuefeng that the important matter of marriage should not be ignored. Otherwise, she should wait for Lin Hai to meet the girls and try to arrange for him to secretly meet the girls and then make his own decision? Under Lin Xuefeng's subtle influence,

, Mrs. Zhu is more open-minded than before. Under the premise that parents make the final decision on marriage, she also tries her best to let her son choose the one he likes, so as to avoid complaints in the future.

"Sir, we haven't made any explicit decisions about those families, we just have a tacit understanding. You can take a closer look at each other, but Hai'er can't be distracted now. Besides, if it's his Gold List High School, let's go

Propose marriage, the woman is confident enough

I will also take a high look at it." Mrs. Zhu added another sentence. Lin Xuefeng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. He also felt that the matter was not that urgent, and besides, his family had already initially chosen the candidate and could propose marriage at any time.

Yes, let’s wait and see.

Zhu secretly expressed to everyone that as the trial was approaching, Lin Hai could not be distracted and should wait until he was over before talking about anything else. Since the whole family came to the capital, Lin Hai felt more and more heavy responsibilities on his body. His younger sister Lin Jiayun's wedding is scheduled for

After the test, he planned to replace Lin Xuefeng and escort Lin Jiayun.

After returning to Suzhou to get married, if he became a new scholar, Lin Jiayun would be more dignified. Therefore, Lin Hai consciously studied more diligently in the Imperial College. There were many famous teachers and scholars in the Imperial College, which was a higher level than the Sixue Academy.

Under their guidance, Lin Hai made great progress in his studies and changed completely.

The Lin family lived a busy and fulfilling life peacefully. Suddenly one day, like a bolt from the blue, a huge change occurred in the capital. A large group of soldiers with weapons gathered together and made a noise. The atmosphere in the whole capital was extremely tense. Everyone was very frightened and uneasy.

Close the door and don’t dare to go out.

Mrs. Zhu ordered her servants to close the door quickly, collected all the swords and sticks they could find, and even took out the kitchen knives, and distributed them to the servants and strong women in the household for self-defense.

Sister Yun and her two aunts asked them to stay in their yard and sent people around the yard.

They patrolled closely to ensure safety. Everyone was trembling and panicking. At this moment, Ms. Zhu forced herself to calm down, assigned people to make arrangements, and comforted everyone. Seeing that the mistress of the house was calm and able to withstand the situation, everyone

He also gradually calmed down, no longer as panicked as before.

After a long time, the housekeeper who took the risk to go out with two boys to investigate brought news: there was a palace coup in the imperial city, the prince rebelled, and led troops loyal to him to fight with the imperial guards. At this time, no one knew who

Whoever wins loses, the streets are noisy and ruffians are taking advantage of the chaos to rob.

Such a huge change has nothing to do with her own family, and the sergeants on both sides will only attack the residences of important officials who are hostile. Zhu was slightly relieved. Fortunately, the alley where Lin's residence is located is close to the Yamen, so it is safe.

,No

It would attract rebels. She ordered the people to guard the gate and walls and tighten the defense to prevent Xiao Xiao from breaking into the house. She insisted on guarding the house tightly, predicting that the turmoil would not last long. After the situation calmed down, she would reward those who contributed.

Suddenly thinking of something, Mrs. Zhu's expression suddenly changed and she stood up quickly. At this moment, Lin Xuefeng and Lin Hai were both in the Imperial College. How were they? Unfortunately, it was chaotic outside and traffic was cut off, so it was impossible to send anyone out to contact them.

Hai'er, you must be well and nothing will happen to you! Master, you must protect Hai'er! Zhu shouted silently in her heart.

When the turmoil broke out, Lin Xuefeng was teaching. So, together with Lin Hai, the father and son were trapped in the Imperial College. When everyone came to their senses, the Imperial College had been surrounded by sergeants. The teachers and students were at first confused and confused.

What happened? Lin Xuefeng quickly called Lin Hai to his side so that they could take care of each other.

The prince's mutiny! When the news came, Lin Xuefeng felt like it had finally happened!

The Imperial College is the highest institution of learning in the country. Not to mention the great Confucian scholars who teach there, there are also students, many of whom are children of high-ranking nobles. Therefore, the prince sent a group of soldiers to surround the Imperial College in advance, and the teachers and students were not allowed to go out.

, the leading officer went straight to find the person who could make the decision.

The officer found Zhao Jijiu and Sun Jiancheng and conveyed the prince's will to them. The prince said that he was on the side of the Qing Dynasty. He wanted to kill the evil concubine and the traitor who had deceived his father. This was a royal family matter and had nothing to do with outsiders. There was no need to

Frightened.

Because of the extraordinary status of the Imperial College, he respected all talented people and hoped that those who knew the current affairs would be heroes and submit to him, the next emperor. In order to prevent teachers and students from making mistakes, he specially sent soldiers to protect them.

'.

When the doctors saw this, they started talking a lot, and each had a very different stance. The prince had been appointed for many years, and he was very good at winning people's hearts. He valued the scribes very much, so many people in the Imperial Academy had a good impression of him. Seeing the soldiers outside

Under siege, the swords in their hands radiated with cold light, as if they would fall on people at any time, making people tremble with fear. Where should we go from here?

Some people said that this time the prince was fully prepared, caught him by surprise, and was on track to succeed. It was like the second "Xuanwu Gate Incident". Didn't Li Shimin later also achieve the feat of being the emperor through the ages? He left it in the history books.

It only has a good reputation. Besides, the scholars have always looked down upon Concubine Zhen and the fifth prince. It seems that it is understandable that the prince wants to deal with them!

Lin Xuefeng looked at the people who were discussing and preparing to take sides, and sighed in his heart. As someone who clearly knew the outcome, he tried hard to prevent them from embarking on the road of no return!
