Lin Shuangshuang waved to the three Dahuaer sisters: "What are you doing standing here? You don't recognize me anymore?"

The three girls came forward shyly and greeted each other politely.

But Yaomei asked a series of questions: "Sister, I heard that you have become an official? Can women also be officials?"

"Is my brother-in-law also an official?"

"Really or not, I feel like I'm in a dream, but everyone in the village says so."

When Mrs. Yang heard the children's voices, she came out happily: "Of course it's true. Your sister has become an official. We are the first female official in the Yu Dynasty!!!"

"Oh my, our old Gu family is really seeing smoke coming out of their ancestral graves."

"No, I have to go inside and worship the Bodhisattva, so that the Bodhisattva can bless our family with good luck."

After Yang finished speaking, he left angrily.

Yaomei said excitedly: "Sister, are you really an official?"

"Then everyone in the village will kneel down when they see you? Do I have to kneel down too?"

Lin Shuangshuang was amused. What kind of brain circuit did this sister have?

Xiao Chen said: "Second sister, there is no need to kneel in the family. The eldest sister has indeed become an official, but there is still order in the family. There is no reason for parents to kneel down for their children, except of course the monarch and his ministers."

"Although you are not my eldest sister's elder, you don't have to kneel down. Home is a place of family ties, and there aren't that many rules."

"As for the villagers, it stands to reason that they should kneel down and salute when they see the eldest sister, but the eldest sister probably won't let them kneel down."

"After all, we all live in the same village. We can't just kneel down as soon as the eldest sister goes out. Then we don't have to do anything all day long. All we have to do is kneel and kowtow."

"What's more, if one person in the same village behaves too condescendingly, it's not a good thing."

Lin Shuangshuang looked at Xiao Chen with a look of relief on his face. He was worthy of being a child who grew up in an environment like the palace. He had fully understood human nature at such a young age.

Yaomei rolled her eyes at Xiao Chen: "Humph, you know better."

Lin Shuangshuang looked at the children's happiness and poured cold water on them mercilessly.

"You guys didn't study hard with me, why did you all come back?"

Yaomei is the eldest among the children, so she naturally has to help speak for her younger siblings.

"We heard that you are back and you are an official. How can you still think about studying?"

"The master saw that we were distracted and eager to return, so he simply gave us a half-day holiday."

"When they heard about the holiday, the other children couldn't sit still."

"I don't know who said that our family was going to have a banquet, and those kids couldn't sit still."

"When the master saw this, he had to give everyone a half-day holiday so that everyone could play freely. The master also said that this was a good thing and asked everyone to come home to congratulate. He also asked everyone to follow my sister's example and become high officials in the future."

Listening to her sister's words, Lin Shuangshuang couldn't help but laugh: "It's different after reading the book. I can even use words like absent-minded and returning home."

"Hehe, that's right, I'm studying very hard, but no matter how hard I learn, I can't learn as fast as Xiao Chen."

Lin Shuangshuang smiled and said nothing. He is a prince and has been groomed as the heir to the throne since he was a child. It is strange that you, a little girl who only started studying in his teens, can compete with him.

"Xiao Chen studied earlier than you, so it's normal for him to learn quickly."

"Yao Mei, you can take the children to our house to help. Let Xiao Chen stay and I will test his knowledge."

"it is good."

Lin Shuangshuang knew that her sister had a lively personality, so she couldn't stay in this courtyard all the time.

Just let her take the three little girls to play.

The reason why Xiao Chen was kept here was not really to test his knowledge, but because he was afraid that those who came from the capital would recognize Xiao Chen.

Especially Eunuch Li, who has lived in the palace since he was a child, and must have seen Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen naturally knew Lin Shuangshuang's intentions, which was why he just came directly to the old house instead of the new one.

"Eldest sister, where is my brother-in-law?"

"Didn't I come back with you?"

Lin Shuangshuang said with a smile: "Your brother-in-law has made great achievements. The emperor made him a centurion and sent him out to do things. He will come back when he is done."

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up and he said happily: "That's great."

"I knew that my brother-in-law would definitely become an official after he recovers."

Lin Shuangshuang motioned to Dong'er to bring him a small bench to sit on: "Did anything happen in the village and town while I was away?"

Xiao Chen sat down upright and talked about what happened in the village during Lin Shuangshuang's absence.

"Nothing happened. Magistrate Li encouraged everyone to grow black vegetables according to the method you said. He sold a lot of money and helped everyone survive the food crisis."

"The weather has been good this year and everyone has a good harvest."

"It's just that what other people grow is wheat, and what we grow is rice."

"Aunt Yang has left the second crop of rice according to your method. The ears haven't started yet, and I don't know if we can harvest the second crop."

"The town is governed by County Magistrate Li, and nothing happens. Everything is fine."

"Many people have joined Wangjiang Tower in the past few months. I heard from sister Xing Qiushui."

The little guy sat upright as if reporting a dead work, telling everything he knew in a precise manner.

Lin Shuangshuang nodded, which was pretty much what she expected.

"You go and study. I'll chat with Sister Yun for a while."

"Ah."

Wen Yunyun kept staring at Xiao Chen's every move, and the more he watched, the more he felt like it!

"Yunyun, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah...I'm fine. I just think Xiaochen is a very sensible kid."

Lin Shuangshuang smiled and said, "He is indeed very sensible."

"This kid is so sensible that it makes people feel sad sometimes."

"Is he Mr. Gu's younger brother, or a relative of yours?"

Lin Shuangshuang shook his head: "No, he is a child I picked up by the river."

"He didn't know where his family lived, and he forgot who his parents were, so I kept him in his care."

Found child?

Could it be that he is really the Ninth Prince?

It's better to wait until no one is around to ask, this kind of thing is very important!

The two chatted for a while. Lin Shuangshuang saw people starting to enter the yard, so she asked Xiaoqing to help Wen Yunyun go to the guest room to rest first.

There are many people talking now, so it is not the right time to introduce her to everyone.

It turned out that before they were separated, the room they lived in had been kept very clean by Yang, so it was used as a guest room.

As soon as Xiao Qing helped Wen Yunyun in, several aunts happily entered the yard holding gifts.

"Shuang'er, congratulations to you. In my entire life, my aunt has never seen a woman become an official."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you've really given us women some face. Let's see who dares to say that women are inferior to men in the future."

"Who says it's not the case? Shuang'er is capable, much better than those men."

The aunts were smiling and had endless auspicious words on their lips.

"Shuang'er, men have official uniforms when they are officials, do you have one?" the fat aunt asked curiously.
