In the book, she became the daughter of a vicious villain who died early

The newly made clothes came in handy, and the governess also bought some rouge and powder when she first arrived here.

She didn't buy any jewelry, but before she left, her daughter gave her a set of jewelry that someone else had given her.

"We don't have much money at home, so you can take the jewelry with you. Use it if you can use it, otherwise just leave it there. It's better to use it to exchange for money when you're short of money than to leave it at home gathering dust."

These are Lin Shiyu’s original words.

So, Liu, who had originally planned to save the jewelry for her daughter as a dowry, changed her mind.

At noon the next day, Liu was ready and set off.

The purpose of this banquet was to welcome the Liu family.

There were not many people attending, just Lin Anru's colleagues and their wives. All together there were only two tables of people.

One table of men, one table of women.

Liu was very nervous inside, but appeared calm on the surface.

After entering the yard and greeting the people inside, Liu felt that it was just like that and there was nothing to worry about.

Maybe it was because the nanny taught her well, Liu was able to handle these ladies with ease.

The ladies were quite angry at her response. They thought they could make this country bumpkin run around in circles with just a little trickery, but who knew that after the confrontation, nothing happened.

Not seeing Liu making a fool of herself, one of those people couldn't help it and stepped on Liu's sore spot without any regard for his dignity.

"I heard that Madam Lin only gave birth to a son and a daughter, and then there was no movement in her stomach.

"Master Lin is different now. If Madam Lin cannot have children, you should be more generous and take in a few concubines for Master Lin so that he can have more children! Don't you think so, Madam Lin?"

Before Liu did anything, the governess standing behind her frowned.

This woman has bad intentions!

It is said that Liu is not a good person and is very jealous, and she wants to put someone under the master's wing.

If Liu did not listen to her and took a concubine, Liu's reputation would be ruined.

If Liu listened to her, not only would the relationship between the master and the mistress be sown successfully, but someone else's spy would also be planted in the house, and the Lin family would be in danger.

Liu smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

"what are you guys saying?"

It was Lin Anru, and behind him followed his colleagues who had just finished their meal. They seemed to be rushing back to work.

They were dining in the same courtyard, and since it was a banquet during the lunch break, there was no particular ceremony. They just separated the tables for men and women, but there was no separate venue.

"Nothing." Liu stood up: "The ladies are just advising me to think about you and expand the Lin family."

The ladies saw that Lin Anru was getting nervous. What was wrong with Mrs. Lin? Why would she tell a man about a woman's affairs?

Lin Anru patted Liu's head soothingly, then looked up and said to the ladies:

"I already have a son and a daughter at home. I am very satisfied with having both sons and daughters. Having many children and grandchildren is certainly desirable, but too many children will bring suffering to the mother.

Whether it is the pain of childbirth or the hardship of raising a child, Lin doesn't want her to endure even a little more."

After Lin Anru finished speaking, she said goodbye to Liu. She had no idea how much shock her words had left on these ladies.

Among the families present, there is one who does not have three wives and four concubines and many children.

That was something they were proud of. They had a good reputation because their husbands had many wives and concubines and many children.

But, at home.

In the backyard, all of them were in a state of panic. Their sadness and exhaustion were not seen by their family members, and they themselves had gotten used to this state.

I really didn't think there was anything wrong until Lin Anru said those words.

It turns out that they do care, and they are not as strong as they appear.

Unfortunately, her husband didn't share Lin Anru's feelings at all. After hearing people say that a mother would suffer if she had too many children, her husband still laughed at Lin Anru for not knowing how to have good fortune.

A group of ladies looked at Liu with envy.

The men all left the table, and the women were not in the mood either, so they all found excuses to go back home.

However, tonight, the officials’ backyards are not peaceful.

After Lin Anru's remarks, those people finally gave up the idea of ​​forcing women on him. The women outside were also unwilling to get close to Lin Anru.

Even if he really followed Lin Anru, she had sworn that she would not have any more children.

After they really followed Lin Anru, would they have to abort the baby if they got pregnant? Would they really not have any more children?

It is indeed important to marry a good husband, but what is more important than marrying a good husband is to have a child of your own.

Without these annoying trivial matters, Lin Anru's work was carried out more smoothly.

Liu also gradually adapted to the identity of a "noble" lady and lived a happy life.

In my spare time, I would think about my two children at home.

......

Yamada Village.

As soon as Lin Boyu came back, he started worshiping his ancestors without any rehearsal.

He is familiar with this job.

After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Lin Shiyu prepared to set off to reunite with her parents.

But on the eve of departure, Lin Boyu encountered another problem.

"Are you sure you want to take part in the provincial examination?" Lin Shiyu confirmed again.

Lin Boyu, who had just received the title of scholar, was in high spirits and nodded without hesitation: "Yes!"

"Okay, okay, go, go, I'll go with you."

Lin Shiyu had to change her plan and follow him to the provincial capital first, and then go to Lin Anru after the exam.

"You're going too?" Lin Boyu asked in disbelief.

Lin Shiyu answered confidently: "Yes, I have packed my luggage. If I don't go, I will have to put it away again. It's troublesome!"

So, Lin Boyu, who had just returned home not long ago, took his sister and set off for the capital again.

Chang Lin received the news and came over shouting.

He brought a lot of servants this time. According to him, it was because he brought a lot of silver this time.

The last time he was short of money for the exam, he asked his servants to go home to get money, which made the two elders of the Chang family feel that he was wronged. This time, he brought double the silver.

"You go ahead and we'll meet at the inn later."

Halfway through the journey, Lin Shiyu decided to go their separate ways.

The two of them were going to take exams, so time was tight and they had to book an inn in advance. She herself was not taking an exam, so she could just take her time.

"Can you do it on your own?" Lin Boyu was worried.

"Aren't there two people here? How can I be alone?"

In addition to this maid who knew martial arts, her brother-in-law Chang Lin also gave her a servant who could drive a carriage.

Lin Boyu was still worried, but he couldn't persuade her. In the end, he had no choice but to tell her to take care of herself.

"I can recite it all if you keep talking. Let's go." Lin Shiyu urged.

Lin Boyu was worried and kept looking back in her direction until he could no longer see her.
