Lin Ji's struggling life

The days go by very quickly, and it is the New Year in the blink of an eye. Every New Year is like this, and this year is especially different.The New Year's Eve banquet, New Year's greetings on the first day of the first month, and the second day of the second day, and this day is Doudou's birthday, so the first-year party should naturally be more grand.

The sun just came out early in the morning, and the banquet was set at noon.Before the time came, the Lin family's house was already busy, with servants coming and going, arranging the venue, preparing banquets, etc., so busy that they didn't touch the ground.Zhang's mother took over the overall situation, going to the kitchen to check the prepared ingredients and dishes, checking the decorations in the banquet hall, and going to the yard to look at the decorations, busy like a spinning top.

Today's Lin family's house is very different, the doorway is newly decorated, and the sun is rising, and it is full of people.The house with the middle door wide open is full of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and almost all the famous people in Pingliang have arrived.

Lin Ji is the chief officer of Pingliang, so naturally he didn't need to greet the guests in person, and sent a few people who often show their faces outside to greet the guests. Zarafon'a didn't hold back, and stood directly in the corridor of the inner courtyard to welcome the guests.

Everyone can't care that today is the day when the lady returns to visit her natal family. The chief of Pingliang is happy, and those who can come naturally want to enjoy the joy and connect with each other.And when Lin Ji posted a post to everyone, he also explained that it was only his daughter's first birthday party, and the name was signed by himself, not an official position.

Liu Tongpan came with his wife and children, followed by his subordinates.Of course, apart from those who had a lot of contacts with Lin Ji, the county magistrates of Pingliang's subordinate counties, as long as they were related and could get posts, all came here.Counting carefully, about half of the officials in Pingliang gather here.Naturally, the merchants did not show weakness. President Qiu of the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce brought several people who had business dealings with Lin Ji to congratulate him. Naturally, their family members also came.

Everyone gathered together, vaguely intending to hold a group.Merchants and merchants, officials and officials, are no more than their own small groups, and everyone lives in peace.

Lin Ji was waiting in the main hall, and everyone would come to chat with him when they came in.He is not particular about it, he can chat with anyone, businessmen talk about business, officials talk about political affairs.The hall was very lively, and people in bright clothes gathered in twos and threes, talking.

In the inner courtyard, Zarafon'a and the other wives were also chatting. Today is the daughter's first birthday banquet. Apart from the banquet, there are naturally additional activities.Men have their own topics, and women have their own world.The wives can talk for a long time about raising children and taking care of their children. Mrs. Liu and Zarafon'a have similar temperaments. Although they have different identities, they hit it off right away.

The two chatted about poetry, calligraphy and painting for a long time. They are both busy with family affairs. They haven't mentioned these things for a long time, and they can't stop talking.After all, Zarafon'a is younger, and he still shows a little bit when chatting with Mrs. Liu.After a while, the two found out about each other's situation.

After Lin Ji came to Pingliang, he never accepted the tribute from his subordinates, whether it was gold, silver, jewelry or beauties, which made many people eager to try.Later, it was known that Zarafon'a was coming, the high-status and beautiful Mrs. Lin's arrival, stifled everyone's thoughts, and gradually there were faint rumors of Lin Duwei's fear.

Mrs. Liu mainly wanted to persuade Zarafon not to hold on too tightly. In the final analysis, the bad roots of men are causing trouble. Even if they are newly married, Lin Ji can hold back.When the two of them get older, I'm afraid they won't be able to avoid this encounter.That being the case, why not find a few candidates and cultivate them first, and after they are done well, they will save some trouble in the future.

"You're not too young now, so I'll find two diapers. They will come in handy when you get pregnant again." The two chatted together, and Mrs. Liu had suffered a lot before dissuading her. "Don't believe me, you still have to listen to the advice of people who have come over this matter."

Back then when she and Liu Tongpan first got married, they were naturally in harmony. After she gave birth to her daughter, she never thought of taking Liu Tongpan as a concubine, and Liu Tongpan was also conscious of it.Until her second pregnancy, during her pregnancy, a subordinate sent two beauties, and she didn't notice any of them, so Liu Tongpan was captured by that woman.So, not long after she gave birth to her son, the family had a concubine daughter.

Now she looks at Zarafon'a, as if looking at herself back then.

Zarafon'a just accepted it with a smile and didn't say anything to refute. "I understand what you said, but now that the child is still young and my husband and I are in harmony, how can we find someone to step in between us? That's not leading the wolf into the house." In such a thing, whoever takes the first step is a betrayal.She and Lin Ji are in love with each other, and she is also very sure that Lin Ji loves her.As for the matter of taking concubines, she had also discussed with Lin Ji, Lin Ji was not interested in it, and made it clear that he would not take concubines, so she could rest assured.No matter what happens to Lin Ji in the future, she will never act first and do that kind of thing.

Of course, she also knew what Mrs. Liu was thinking. Mengli and Zhang's mother had also told her that when Lin Ji came to Pingliang, they also persuaded her to let her prepare two people for Lin Ji, but she refused.

"Why don't you listen to my advice, kid?" Mrs. Liu really liked Zarafon'a, she couldn't help feeling a little anxious, "This is not a joke, I also know that you and Mrs. Lin are just like glue. This is the candidate , I still have to live with it in my hands, so that I can handle it in the future." Unlike her family, it can explode her heart, liver and lungs.

Zarafon burst out laughing, "Ma'am, I really understand." There were smiles on the corners of her brows and eyes, obviously grateful to her, "I have discussed this with my husband a long time ago, it doesn't matter. And I have a headache There is no mother-in-law in the world, and no one is urging me to show virtuousness, so why bother myself."

Mrs. Liu seemed to be choking, but was speechless for a while.

"I think your daughter is about the same age as my sister-in-law. She is very lively and cute. Can I agree with her?" Seeing Mrs. Liu's expression change, Zarafeng'a hurriedly changed the subject, "The marriage of this daughter's family is the most important thing. Have a good look."

Speaking of this matter, Mrs. Liu had something to say, "Most of the people in Pingliang have seen each other, and the master is not satisfied. I don't know what kind of fairy he will choose for his daughter." She was angry when she said it. Because of this incident, she had quarreled with Liu Tongjuan more than once.

Zarafon'a agreed with Liu Tongpan's approach, and nodded, "It's best to be cautious. Marrying a daughter's family is like reincarnation."

"Yeah, I just hope that I can find a good husband for her, and I can rely on her for the rest of my life, so I can feel at ease." Mrs. Liu said with emotion: "At the beginning, his father gave her an exemption from the election, but he just didn't want her. Go to the palace. Now I'm waiting for her marriage to be arranged before I show it to the following people!" In the end, this eldest daughter is still the most favored, and Liu Tongpan really cares about this child.

Speaking of the draft, Zarafon'a thought of Lin Daiyu again, and the people next to him heard this and came over to talk a little bit, and chatted about the draft for a long time.

After the lively full moon banquet, Doudou children grabbed a book and a sewing kit during the lottery ceremony.Her performance can be described as brilliant. When everyone talked about this child, in addition to being beautiful, she also added an adjective of cleverness.

Naturally, this matter should be written in a letter and shared with Lin Ruhai and the others.Lin Daiyu and Qingqing sent Doudou a lot of things, but now one of them has been lost, and Lin Daiyu and the others are enjoying themselves by relying on the jade board sent by Lin Ji.Qingqing sent several letters, urging Zarafon'a to take Doudou back to the capital.

After the birthday party, the rumors of Mr. Lin's internal fear became even more rampant.

Zarafon'a did not expect that she had just talked with Madam Liu about taking concubines, and that someone would actually send a beauty to her door so soon.

The two beauties were sent by Mr. Qiu, the governor of Gansu Province. According to rumors, these two beauties are singers from the mother of the first floor of the capital. They have beautiful faces and enchanting figures. Dance is the most suitable for adding fragrance to the red sleeves.This can also be regarded as Master Qiu's reward for his achievements in Pingliang during this period. The housekeeper who sent him made it very clear, please, Master Lin, be sure to accept it.

Lin Ji went to the government office, and this person was sent directly to the house. Of course, Zarafon'a received the housekeeper. She didn't say anything, and accepted him with a smile.

She knew that Mr. Qiu and his grandfather were good friends, but she didn't expect him to be so confused.Naturally, Zarafon'a didn't make things difficult for the housekeeper. He accepted the man and returned a gift that was not light to Mr. Qiu. After sending him away with good words, he went back to the house to deal with the affairs of the two beauties. .

In fact, this is not the first time she has faced such a situation. When Lin Ji was going to work in Pingliang when she gave birth to her daughter, Booney sent her two so-called maidservants to make Lin Ji feel considerate of her son-in-law. Ji took it to Pingliang to order.It was Lin Ji himself who vetoed it outright and forcibly sent him to his father-in-law Ma Hun, so he escaped.It was after this incident that Zarafon'a would talk to Lin Ji about taking concubines.

But now it's different, she can naturally refuse it forcefully, but after all, Mr. Qiu is Lin Ji's immediate superior and also a friend of his grandfather, if he does too much, it will inevitably hurt face.She took him in and planned to put the two of them at home and just keep them.

As night fell, Lin Ji dragged his tired body back home, after taking a bath and changing clothes, he went to Doudou's room to play with his daughter for a while.Doudou is one year old and has eight teeth. She can call people easily and express her emotions.The two father and daughter chatted with the duck for a long time, until the daughter yawned and rubbed her eyes, Lin Ji let the nanny put her daughter to sleep, and went back to the room by herself.

Zarafon'a was twisting her hair in front of the bed, and he went over to take the towel from her hand. They didn't talk, but they were very warm.After Lin Ji put oil on her hair and hair, Zarafon said unintentionally, "Master Qiu sent two beauties here today, and I will place them in the pear courtyard."

Lin Ji's hand froze, "He stayed?!" He seemed a little surprised, "Why didn't you let him take it back?" Just refuse as usual.

"I was also thinking, after all, he is your grandfather's friend and your immediate boss. Didn't you say last time that he treats you well now?" In fact, Zarafeng'a really listened to Mrs. Liu's words today. Going in, of course, is not about preparing a concubine for Lin Ji, but not being too unsocial.

She and Lin Ji have a deep love, as long as she knows it, it's fine, but it's not good if it spreads out and provokes criticism.It is normal to have a few concubines at home, firstly, it can silence outsiders, and secondly, it can also save Lin Ji's face, lest everyone say that he is afraid of insiders.

Lin Ji patted her on the head, "Silly, it's not calculated like this. It's just two divas, and they'll keep them at home, with a lot of food money around them, and those who have banquets." I can come out to add to the fun when I have time." He knew Zarafon'a's plan, "I will leave it to you to arrange."

Zarafon'a smiled, put his arms around Lin Ji's neck, and pulled him into the bed.
