Didn't Love You Enough

Lin Dazhuang and his party finally arrived in Xuzhou. Lin Dazhuang, Lin Jiawen and Qin Kaixing thanked the cavalry guarding all the way.Lin Dazhuang and the others politely declined the cavalry escorting them back to Pei County, it would be too ostentatious to go back like this.

Separated from them in front of the city of Pei County, Lin Dazhuang and the others entered Pei County with a total of five carriages with their buddies and servants.

When the guards guarding the city saw that they had returned with five large carriages, they flattered Qin Kaixing and said, "Master Qin is in charge, where did he get rich?"

Qin Kaixing also replied very cheerfully: "This is the goods brought back from Beijing, all the guards, remember to come and patronize..."

"Haha, then Young Master Qin will give us a discount. The mother-in-law is clamoring for new clothes."

"That must be..."

After arriving at Qin's house, Qin Kaixing ordered his assistants and servants to help unload the goods, and reloaded a large carriage full of the earthen instruments he bought in the capital and the meeting gift from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

After that, Qin Kaixing personally sent his father-in-law and eldest brother back to Linjiacun.It was already late when we arrived at Linjia Village, and it was time for each household to have dinner.There were no people on the road in the village, and no one paid attention to them on the way back.

The Lin family was also eating at this time, and they were talking about their father and elder brother coming back at the same time.Seeing Lin Dazhuang and the others came back, the whole family was very excited, and Zhang Huiniang made some new dishes.Invite Qin Kaixing to have dinner together, Qin Kaixing is not easy to refuse, the family had dinner lively.

During the meal, everyone asked about Jiabao's situation in a hurry. Lin Dazhuang thought for a while and said: "Let's eat first, Jiabao is doing well. Kai Xing, eat more, this time you have worked hard."

Everyone was relieved to hear that Jiabao was doing well.They all persuaded Qin Kaixing to use more.

Lin Dazhuang thought to find an appropriate time to talk to Zhang Huiniang first.

After dinner, the family gave Qin Kai a trip.After that, everyone was busy arranging the gifts that Lin Dazhuang and the others brought back.

"This Kaixing also bought too much, how much will it cost? No matter how rich you are, you can't spend it like this!" Zhang Huiniang looked at the dazzling gifts and felt that this son-in-law spent too much money.

Lin Dazhuang stopped talking, "Kai Xing is a good person. The goods he brought to the capital sold well this time. It's not honoring you, it's not good."

The things that Xuanyuan Han sent were naturally excellent.The ginseng and bird's nests are all top-grade, and Zhang Huiniang doesn't know the true value of these things and already feels distressed to death.

Among the gifts was a set of pearl haircuts and a pair of white jade bracelets named for Zhang Huiniang. The pearls on the haircuts were round and lustrous, instantly capturing the hearts of all the women in the Lin family.

Although Zhang Huiniang said that her son-in-law spends a lot of money, she still likes it very much in her heart. This son-in-law really puts his heart into it. "It's so beautiful! This is very expensive, Da Zhuang, don't you stop my son-in-law, I don't need such a good reputation? Isn't this a waste of money!"

Lin Dazhuang thought, that is His Royal Highness, how can he stop him...

The rest of Lin Jiawen's wives, Wu Shi, Lin Lier, and Lin Xiuer also received beautiful and exquisite jewel hairpins of various colors, and they all exclaimed.Mrs. Wu held the pearl hairpin carefully, she couldn't put it down, and Lin Xiu'er inserted the pearl hairpin into her hair on the spot, and she flattered everyone to praise her.

Lin Jiawen said to his mother: "This is too eye-catching to wear out. Xiu'er is still young, so mother will help her put it away first, it will be bad if it is lost."

Lin Dazhuang said, "Okay, let's tidy up slowly in the future. Jiawen and I are both tired and want to rest early."

Zhang Huiniang saw that her husband and son looked tired, and she was also busy boiling hot water, letting them wash away the dust and go to bed early.

In the evening, Qin Kai went back to Qin's house, just after taking a bath and changing clothes, someone came to say that the master and wife had invited him to ask questions.

Qin Kai went to the main room and saw his parents and Jin'er sitting and waiting for him.

Master Qin Qin Hong asked his son, "Kai Xing, did the trip to Beijing go well this time? What happened to the ones I brought back this time?"

In the afternoon, Mrs. Qin and her daughter-in-law Lin Jiner were arranging the earthen rituals that their son had brought back from Beijing.At the beginning, it was the special products of the capital bought by Qin Kaixing himself. Mrs. Qin and Lin Jin'er didn't think anything about it. When it came to the meeting ceremony of His Royal Highness, they felt something was wrong. Mrs. Qin thought about how she had bought so many things this time and came back.When Mrs. Qin saw the gift slip in it, she was dumbfounded.It was stated on the gift list that Mr. Qin was given top-grade Biluochun and a set of exquisite tea sets, Mrs. Qin's was a set of pearl hair noodles, Lin Jiner's was an exquisite ruby ​​bead hairpin, and there were even gifts for the three small ones.Qin Zicong's is a jade pendant with transparent jade, and the dragon and phoenix are the longevity locks inlaid with gold and jade.In addition, there are some tonics such as ginseng and bird's nest.

The price of these things is not low, and they cannot be purchased without thousands of taels of silver.

I also showed it to Master Qin, who loves tea.The top-grade Biluochun tea is a tribute tea, which cannot be bought even if you have money. How did you get such a good product?Master Qin thought suspiciously, he knew how much silver taels his son had brought this time, no matter how well the goods he brought sold, it would not be enough to purchase them.

"That's right? Son, who is this noble gift from?" Mrs. Qin was also very curious. She had been to a party hosted by the magistrate's wife, and she saw that the pearls worn by the magistrate's wife were not as big and round as hers.

Qin Kaixing asked the little girl serving tea to go down, lowered his voice slightly, and said, "These are greeting gifts from His Royal Highness..."

Master Qin, Mrs. Qin, and Lin Jiner were all surprised when they heard this, "His Royal Highness...how could he have anything to do with His Royal Highness?"

"It's all because of Jiabao." Qin Kaixing said softly.

"Jiabao! What happened to Jiabao?" Lin Jiner asked nervously.

"Jiabao is now the servant of His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince loves Jiabao very much. He not only gave us a gift, but also sent a small team of cavalry to escort us back. My father-in-law didn't want to be too ostentatious, so I sent them to Xuzhou." Qin Kaixing Said the situation in one go.

After hearing this, Mrs. Qin said happily: "Jiabao is really a lucky child... This time he really became a nobleman."

Lin Jin'er was surprised that her younger brother became His Royal Highness's servant, but she was not as happy as her mother-in-law, and her heart was full of worries.

Qin Kaixing told all about his experience in the capital this time, and showed Master Qin the name sticker of the Qi family.

Master Qin was also very excited holding the name sticker, "This is really a great fortune..."

"Father-in-law said, I hope we don't disclose it until the provincial capital reports it." Qin Kaixing said.

"Well, my in-laws are right. The servants who are going with me this time must be restrained." Master Qin nodded and ordered.

"The buddies and servants brought out this time are all born children, and I will restrain them well." Qin Kaixing said.

Lin Jin'er tossed and turned on the bed at night, and couldn't help pushing her husband Qin Kaixing, "Husband, is Jiabao really doing well?"

"Jiabao is really doing well. His Royal Highness likes him very much! Don't worry too much. When I have a chance to go to Beijing again in the future, I will take you to see him together." Qin Kaixing comforted his wife and said.

As soon as Lin Jin'er returned to the room, she kept asking about Jiabao's situation, and she still didn't feel relieved even after Qin Kaixing's reassurance.

Lin Jiabao's entry into the palace was a big blow to her. Lin Jin'er originally thought that when Jiabao grew up, he would also marry into the Qin family as a companion.

She knows Lin Jiabao's temperament best, so well-behaved and sensible, compared to being someone else's concubine or growing old alone.As the eldest sister, Lin Jin'er will naturally protect her younger brother. The Qin family is easy to get along with and her family background is very superior. She now has two sons and a daughter, and she has established a firm foothold in the Qin family.When she conceives a few more children, if her younger brother marries, no matter whether there will be any heirs in the future, her children will be filial to him, and Jiabao will not be old and homeless in the future.

Lin Jiner thought very well, but before he had time to discuss with Zhang Huiniang, Jiabao entered the palace.Now he is a servant of His Highness the Crown Prince. The royal family is not an ordinary family, so the harem must be full of invisible swords and swords...

Lin Jin'er heard from Qin Kaixing that her father hadn't told her mother about Jiabao yet, and she wondered how sad her mother would be when she found out about Jiabao. Mother has always cherished Jiabao the most...

Mrs. Qin also talked about Lin Jiabao's affairs with Master Qin, "This time the Lin family is in trouble... Jiabao will be a noble person at worst in the future."

After hearing this, Master Qin laughed and said, "I'm afraid it's more than that. I heard from Kai Xing that Jiabao is very popular with His Highness the Crown Prince! This time, because of our in-law relationship with the Lin family, our Qin family will also benefit greatly. To be able to cooperate with the Qi family, in the county, oh no...it is also the first in the whole Xuzhou!"

"That's not... the good in-laws chosen by the husband." Mrs. Qin had already believed Lin Jiner's order from the beginning, thinking that this daughter-in-law was really a good one, and brought prosperity to their Qin family.

Lin Dazhuang has been wanting to tell Zhang Huiniang about Lin Jiabao these days.But every time the words came to my lips and I couldn't say them.Afterwards, I discussed with Lin Jiawen: "Why don't we talk about it after your daughter-in-law is born. Your mother has been busy recently, so I told her that she is restless."

"Well, I'll just listen to my father. The autumn harvest season is coming soon, and the family has a lot of land this year, and the newly bought land has to be taken care of. The family will also be busy for a while. I'm afraid there will not be enough manpower. It seems that we need to hire two people." After thinking about it, Lin Jiawen agreed with his father's idea.

"Well, if you want to hire, let's hire a few more this time. Jiawen, don't go to the ground this time, and study hard." Lin Dazhuang said.

"Understood, dad. I will definitely study hard." This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a lot of excellent Four Treasures of the Study, as well as many useful books.Lin Jiawen vowed that he would win the exam. For the sake of his family and family treasures, he must prepare well for this provincial examination.

In the days that followed, Lin Jiawen studied and studied harder, to the point where he forgot to sleep and eat.The enlightenment of Lin Jiacai became more and more severe.Wu Shi would sometimes persuade Lin Jiawen to pay attention to his body, thinking that Xianggong must have been stimulated by the talented scholars in the capital.

In the blink of an eye, in October, Wu successfully gave birth to a boy.The Lin family was very happy. After that, Zhang Huiniang was busy confinement for her daughter-in-law and taking care of her grandson.And Lin Dazhuang was busy with the autumn harvest, thinking that after these few days, he would talk to Zhang Huiniang about Jiabao after his grandson was full moon.

Xuanyuan Hancheng soon got the news that Lin Jiawen had a son, and he would be very happy to tell the good news to the baby.

At that time, not all the cavalry who escorted Lin Dazhuang and the others returned, Xuanyuan Hancheng asked them to leave two of them in Xuzhou to pass the news.

Lin Jiabao was really happy when he got the news, and remembered what Xuanyuan Hancheng said that he could take things home and choose among his many rewards.

Every time Lin Jiabao and Xuanyuan Hancheng went to pay their respects to the empress, he always received some rewards. Everyone knew that he was the new favorite of His Royal Highness, and sometimes he would also be rewarded when he met other empresses in Yongshou Palace.In addition, since Xuanyuan Hancheng had Lin Jiabao, he often collected a lot of good things for him, and the prince's disciples knew that there was such a servant as Lin Jiabao who was loved by His Royal Highness, and they often paid tribute to him.

Lin Jiabao was playing with a pony jade pendant, this year is the year of the horse, Lin Jiabao now has a lot of pendants and decorations about horses.

When Xuanyuan Hancheng came in, Lin Jiabao was swinging among the jade pendants on the table, not knowing which one to choose.

Xuanyuan Hancheng hugged Lin Jiabao from behind and asked, "Have you chosen?"

"Master, do you think this jade pendant is good? There is a picture of a galloping pony on it, and it happens that my nephew belongs to the horse." Lin Jiabao picked up one of the jade pendants and showed it to Xuanyuan Hancheng.

"Yeah, not bad, I remember a small decoration of a glazed horse, that's not bad either." Xuanyuan Hancheng remembered that it was from his disciples, and he gave it to Lin Jiabao when he saw it was good.

"That... that is given to me by my husband. I think... I want to keep it..." Lin Jiabao liked the glass pony very much, and said with some reluctance.Lin Jiabao didn't have any toys since he was a child, so he became Xuanyuan Hancheng's little servant. Xuanyuan Hancheng would often give him some interesting gadgets. Lin Jiabao liked and cherished them very much, and he was very careful when handling them.

"Good boy... my baby..." Xuanyuan Hancheng kissed Jiabao vigorously after hearing this. "Let Yuan Qing go to Mother Qiu to get the key to the inner storehouse tomorrow. You can pick a good one. You can't be stingy about giving it to your little nephew."

Lin Jiabao shook his head, "No need, I have many rewards that are very good, so I don't need to pick any more." Lin Jiabao was embarrassed to go to the husband's warehouse to pick out the full moon gift for his little nephew. The reward is good.

Xuanyuan Hancheng understood what Lin Jiabao was thinking, so he smiled and said nothing.Xuanyuan Hancheng thought that the baby was still young, and in the future, he would first ask the baby to be named a side king, so that he could justifiably hand over the management of the East Palace to Jiabao.

"Will I be able to send the things I brought to my little nephew when my nephew is full moon?" Lin Jiabao looked at Xuanyuan Hancheng expectantly.

"Of course, baby. Guaranteed to catch up with your little nephew's full moon." Xuanyuan Hancheng promised, he got the news from Xuzhou.Knowing the current situation of Lin Dazhuang's family, I appreciate their low-key and non-exaggerated attitude.But Lin Jiabao is already his own, this matter is not something shameful, and he doesn't like to hide it, so he just took the opportunity of Lin Jiawen's child's full moon to tell the world.Let the Lin family have a good time in Xuzhou. After all, Lin Jiabao will not be just a servant in the future, and the Lin family should get used to it earlier...
