Both Jingming Courtyard and Heming Courtyard are large courtyards with three entrances, and there is only a small garden in between. Jia Min prepared this place for Lin Qing and Lin Lang to live in.

The regulations of the Heming Courtyard are a little sparser and wider, and there are east and west courtyards, and the location is more central. It is a courtyard reserved for Lin Qing.It is more than enough to house the two of them, Lin Qing's aunt, two housemates, and a lot of maids.

As for the Jingming Courtyard, there has never been a cross-courtyard, but Lin Lang and his wife, plus a son and a daughter, are enough to live there.

The interior is full of flowers and trees. Although it is already the end of October, there is still a lot of greenery, and it does not look depressed.But the most noticeable thing is the two towering sycamore trees. Although the leaves have fallen now, they can also look forward to the beauty of spring and autumn, and the meaning is also good.

Mrs. Li looked around, and found that all the furnishings and bedding are complete, even the jewelry box on the dressing table is full, and they can live in immediately.In the east and west rooms prepared for her children, hard places such as table corners were even wrapped with cotton satin, so that the children would not be hurt when they played, which shows that she is careful.

Mrs. Li praised her once. Her son, Brother Yun, who was only seven years old, ran up to the small wooden horse in the yard and didn't want to get off. This made everyone laugh out loud. It was Lin Dong who coaxed him with a small slingshot down.Li's eldest sister was only two years old, together with brother Zhao from Ping'er's family, giggling and running around the yard, the always quiet Lin Mansion was filled with children's songs and laughter for a while.

Daiyu always likes to be quiet and not noisy, but now hearing her aunt's voice, she finds it very pleasant.

After leaving the gate of Jingming Courtyard, turn left and arrive at Gui Pavilion after a cup of tea.Before I walked in, I could smell the tangy fragrance of golden osmanthus. After the frost and cold, the leaves of the osmanthus tree became more and more black. While the petals were hidden, the fragrance came repeatedly with the wind.

"It smells so good!" Ping'er sniffed, picked an osmanthus flower casually, and stuck it on his head, "If these osmanthus flowers are collected and made into sachets in the house, wouldn't it be like sitting and lying down at any time?" It's normal among the flowers."

Mrs. Li was more practical, nodded in agreement, and said, "Osmanthus honey or osmanthus cake should also be excellent."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at Daiyu and Lin Dong: "I'm not good at cooking, but the only thing I can make is passable lotus root flour osmanthus cake. I'll make it for the girls and wives to try tomorrow."

Daiyu replied with a smile: "Then I'll wait for sister-in-law's pastries. It just so happens that my mother and I both love this kind of pastries."

Compared with the Jingming Courtyard just now, the Gui Pavilion has a more winding path leading to seclusion. There are only two and a half courtyards, but a small pond is enclosed inside. In terms of area, it is not smaller than Jingming Courtyard.Ping'er looked at it inside and out, and praised it again, saying that there was nothing wrong with it.

Taoqi Pavilion is on the right side of Gui Pavilion. The two courtyards face each other from a distance and are connected by a pool of green waves.

Because Jia Min planned to leave it for Daiyu to enjoy the scenery in spring, it looks neater than the other yards, and it looks like it has just been repaired.Yiying's furnishings are elegant but not extravagant, low-key but not simple, which caught the eyes of the two concubines of the Lin family.

Because the biological mother is not favored, the two concubine daughters of the Lin family still do not have names, they are just called the eldest girl and the second girl.But now there is an extra Daiyu who happens to be caught between the two of them, so they will probably have names soon.

"Big Sister, Big Sister, because our family only came back to Beijing in the summer, the old house has not been fully repaired, and there are not many shared yards now, so mother said to let the two of you live together in Taoqi Pavilion first. When the frost thaws in the spring next year, I will clean up a few more yards and come out, and my sister and sister will choose a place to live in."

The eldest girl of the Lin family was a little timid, but she still insisted and replied: "What's wrong with this? In the past, my second sister and I lived together at home, but now it's very good. The yard is so big that my second sister and I My sister is enough."

Daiyu smiled, and said: "It's all according to my sister. After all, it has to be cleaned up. At that time, it can be used as a place for our sisters to enjoy flowers and drink tea. It is also possible."

After this circle, several people were exhausted. Guessing that Lin Ruhai must have finished speaking, Daiyu called everyone back to the main courtyard to drink tea and rest.

In the main courtyard, these grown-ups have indeed talked well.

Lin Qing's family belonged to the lineage of the Lin family in Gusu, and Lin Ruhai would record them on the Lin family tree, and also negotiated a date for a grand banquet to announce the return of Lin Qing's family.

In addition, Mrs. Lin's lineage will be connected with the Gusu Lin family, and they will be regarded as serious relatives in the future.Regardless of Lin Ruhai's repeated refusals, Mrs. Lin resolutely gave [-]% of Shunde Building's profits to the Lin family, begging for protection.

Of course Lin Ruhai was not short of this bit of money, but he also knew that Mrs. Lin wanted peace of mind, so he still accepted it.Regardless of Lin Qing, he took out the [-]% of his family's previous profit and returned it to the boss of the Lin family. After all, after it was included in the Gusu Lin family tree, he was no longer a member of Shunde Building, so he shouldn't have taken the money.

In order to thank Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin for their kindness, Lin Ruhai did not use money to hit people in the face, but prepared two hot spring villages on the outskirts of Xishan, plus two houses near Lin's mansion, both of which are large courtyards with five entrances.This courtyard was Lin Ruhai's grandmother's dowry. She was the only daughter of Marquis Yongyi back then, and the dowry was very rich. The house is located near the imperial city, and now it seems that it is a good location with a price but no market.

This Zhuangzi and the house are precious but not too eye-catching, which is enough to repay Mrs. Lin's expenses in raising Lin Qing's family over the years. As for the kindness, it will be the care and support in the future.

That night, Lin Qing's family did not leave, and lived in the mansion of Lin's mansion.Even Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin lived in the guest courtyard at Jia Min's kind invitation.

After Yingchun's three dynasties returned home, Lin Ruhai finally got the results of Lin Fu's investigation, and Lin Qing's family really didn't speak.Letting go of the last trace of suspicion, Lin Ruhai immediately distributed invitations, inviting relatives and old friends to the mansion to attend the banquet, announcing the official return of Lin Qing's lineage.

The reappearance of such a legendary past, of course, caused heated discussions among the people in Beijing for a long time. They also said that Lin Ruhai was righteous, and some Shunde Buildings were lucky, and there was a lot of excitement.

However, all these commotions had nothing to do with the Lin family. Since Lin Qing's family moved in, Jia Min took the time to go back to her mother's house and borrowed four nanny from Wang Xifeng.These four nuns were divided into two for Lin Rou, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, and Lin Duo, the third daughter, and they were responsible for instructing them on the etiquette rules.

In addition, various female teachers such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were invited to give the two of them a bombarding training supplementary class, and they must change their only cowardly and fearful temperament habits.

As for the other juniors, those who reached the age were also sent to the academy to study.But they never sent them to Jia's house, after all the relationship is a bit far away, and they probably wouldn't feel comfortable going there.

The Lin family, which has always been as quiet as water, now has more bustling and noisy voices. This is really a lively scene that has not been heard in decades.Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were not used to it for a few days, but they quickly got used to it. Lin Ruhai also secretly went to the ancestral hall to offer incense and prayers to the ancestors who passed away, just to tell them that the Lin family is now flourishing.

The juniors don't have this worry. Every day after class, Daiyu takes the sisters to laugh and chat together, or goes to Jia Min to learn how to be a housekeeper. She is so busy every day that even Jia The family is gone.

As for the boys, they even had a falling out. Lin Lang was good at martial arts, and he took Lin Dong up the wall to climb trees. There was nothing he dared not do.The little boy who used to look a bit rigid and serious, perhaps because of having his elder brother and nephew by his side, has gradually become lively, Wang Xifeng said jokingly, he looks somewhat similar to Brother Mao.

The days passed by like running water, and the life of the Lin family gradually became peaceful.

There was no disturbance in Jia's family, only one thing, Jia Lian was promoted again.

Before the year of his founding, Jia Lian had already been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and a second-rank official at the same level as Lin Ruhai. He has been the most famous and powerful person since the founding of the country.

The fire cooks the oil, the flowers bloom!

But it's also extremely dangerous.

Even if Jia Lian didn't say anything, Lin Ruhai was keenly aware of the abnormality. There were more and more people fawning on the Jia family, and some of them found the Lin family and the Wang family by detours.It's a pity that Lin Ruhai and Wang Ziteng are both the best of the best, and they always bypass the matter by laughing.

On the day of the winter solstice, the railway from Beijing to the Summer Resort officially started operation.

This railway has been repaired for four years and has been in trial operation for one year. Now everything is finally ready to carry people and goods.

In the past year, Jia Lian has traveled on this train countless times. Together with the craftsmen, he measured and calculated the data countless times, and then handed over the brochure for today's parade.

Situ Yao was overjoyed, and after carefully arranging the guards, he took all the concubines in the harem, as well as the ministers from various families in Beijing, and set foot on the train.

The railroad tracks are laid straight, and the glass is extremely crystal clear. With the sound of bang bang bang bang, billows of black smoke rush into the distance.It used to take three days to travel from the capital to the Mountain Resort, but this time it only took four hours, which can be described as extremely fast.

"In ancient times, there was a thousand-mile horse that could run a thousand miles in a day, but today this train is more than three thousand miles! All blessings, Your Majesty, and my country!"

"Marquis Zhaoming is worthy of being the think tank of our Dagan Kingdom. Such a strange thing can be researched. I heard that there are such trains in overseas places, but they can only travel a thousand miles a day. Ours is better than that. How many times are they!"

……

Everyone was amazed, and Situ Yao also laughed and wanted to reward Jia Lian, but deep in his eyes, there was deep fear and displeasure.Jia Lian is really excellent and capable, his ability alone is enough to match half of the officials of the Ministry of Industry in Dagan Kingdom, Situ Yao has no confidence in his heart.

But the superficial rewards can't be broken. Situ Yao wanted to promote Jia Lian's title, but after Jia Lian declined repeatedly, he asked for the title of county lord for sister Qiao, Changle County lord.Since the founding of the Dagan Kingdom, the only county head with a different surname, and he is not yet two years old. For a while, there was an uproar in Beijing again, all talking about how Marquis Zhaoming won the favor of the saint.

Accompanied by heavy snowfall, Lin Ruhai knocked on the door of Jia's house, and discussed secretly with Jia Lian all day.
