  Chapter 309 Duplicity

  After hearing Chu Wenbi's words, the whole family's eyes were fixed on Lin Jinxiao.

Lin Jinxiao coughed softly, looked at Chu Nanzhi provocatively, and said in a low voice: "If you want to talk about my opinion, I really don't approve of the lady's entry into Beijing, let alone her going to the capital for business Sheng, it doesn't matter if it's anything else, I'm afraid she will be too tired like this."

  Chu Nanzhi was nauseated by his hypocritical words, but Lin Jinxiao suddenly changed the subject:

"However, if the lady insists on doing this, I don't think it's a big deal. After all, both father-in-law and mother-in-law know that the two mentors rarely accept students, especially female students. Since the two elders value the lady so much, I naturally have to follow their wishes. .”

   Saying this, he smiled faintly, looked at Chu Nanzhi meaningfully again, and continued:

"As for the elders of the Lin family, I have never cared about their opinions. In fact, it is the people in my family who share weal and woe in the end. When our family becomes rich and honored, they will naturally recognize us as members of the clan. But if we fall into depression, There are no relatives, there are only mediocre people in the world who have no blame or reputation, what the lady said last night is very good, as long as you don't do things that violate the ancestors' precepts and bring shame to the clan, the rest is fine."

  Listening to the calm tone and looking at the cold smile on his face, Chu Nanzhi gradually realized that the little white face was not really indifferent to this matter.

   The aggressive method?

  Chu Nanzhi silently glanced at him.

  If he really doesn't want to match up this matter, why bother to send the legal documents for the two elders.

   "Cough, duplicity man."

   With this little trick, I still want to hide it from my mother's eyes.

   But thinking about it carefully, it is quite touching. He has already given Li Shu to himself, and even helped to arrange this matter, which is considered hard work.

   And Lin Jinxiao's sincere words also made Liu Yun's sullen expression fade a lot.

  She re-examined Chu Nanzhi, and saw that she was still determined, and then looked at the quadruplets and Chu Wenbi, with eyes full of expectation. Finally, she compromised, and stared at Lin Jinxiao with deep eyes:

   "So, Da Lang really wants Da Zhi to take the exam?"

  Lin Jinxiao pretended to nod reluctantly: "Then let the lady try according to her own wishes."

   After all, I recommended it to the second elder, so I still have to put some pressure on her.

  Liu Yun was relieved a lot, looked at Chu Nanzhi, and said solemnly: "Da Zhi, you can no longer live up to Da Lang's expectations of you."

  Looking at the quadruplets beside her, she frowned helplessly: "Little Treasures, Ah Xiang and I will take care of you in the future. During this period, you should prepare well for the exam."

   "Got it, mother."

Seeing Liu Yun with a kind face, Chu Nanzhi happily went over and hugged the little old lady, flattered her happily and said: "I knew that my mother loves me the most. With you helping to take care of the little treasures, I can rest assured." too much."

  Liu Yun pushed her away angrily, and said with her mouth pursed, "Who made me your mother? You can't let your unprofessional mother-in-law take care of the little treasures."

  When it comes to the Chen family, each of them looks sad.

  Currently, Chu Nanzhi was only thinking about reconciling and leaving, Lin Jinxiao knew very well in his heart that the matter of taking care of the quadruplets would always fall on him, so he shouldn't bother his mother-in-law too much.

  He said in a tactful tone: "Tomorrow I will send a few handymen over to build a larger room in the backyard as a private school. Let Mrs. Nie come over and teach the little treasures to read first. Mother-in-law doesn't have to worry too much."

  As soon as he heard about reading, Dabao Lin Ruiwen immediately became interested, rushed to Lin Jinxiao excitedly, and reconfirmed loudly: "Father, can we really study with Grandpa Chang and Grandpa Nie right away?"

   "Well, let the grandpas come over as soon as the school is completed."

  Lin Jinxiao gently patted Dabao on the shoulder, then turned to the other three little treasures, and said sternly, "So you should stay at home to study and practice calligraphy."

   "Got it, Dad."

   Except for Dabao and Erbao, Sanbao and Sibao were a little scared.

  They were not afraid of Grandpa Nie, but they were worried that Grandpa Chang would scold him.

  After all, my mother said at the beginning that the two grandfathers would teach them their lessons together.

  Seeing that her son-in-law had arranged things properly, Liu Yun hurriedly ordered: "Da Lang, you and Da Zhi should go back to your room to rest earlier, Sang Qi and I will clean up outside."

  Lin Jinxiao still had something in his heart that he wanted to discuss with Chu Nanzhi alone, so he signaled her to go to the bedroom together.

  Without Lin Jinhui's barrier, Chu Nanzhi had no choice but to enter the house with her while holding the scroll.

  Lin Jinxiao took the lead to sit on the edge of the bed, patted the side with a smile on his face, and Chu Nanzhi followed suit.

  Thinking of how he helped him persuade Liu Yun just now, Chu Nanzhi sincerely thanked her.

Lin Jinxiao said in a calm tone: "I am not a pedantic person. Now that I am the magistrate of Luyan Port, it is my duty to recommend virtuous men to the imperial court. I will not bury you just because you are my wife, and of course I will not bury you just because you are my wife." If you are a lady, you are nepotism, success or failure depends on you."

  Paused, he was full of worry again: "However, I still suggest that you focus on taking the exam first, and talk about other things later."

   "Don't worry, I have a measure."

  Chu Nanzhi replied confidently.

  This little boy probably doesn't know what a contemporary professional woman is: work and study.

  He is a top student, and he is also a top student, so a top student must have his own attitude towards life.

   And Lin Jinxiao was afraid that he regarded himself as a blank sheet of paper, that's why he had these concerns.

  Actually, she has nothing to worry about about professional knowledge. The content to be assessed is all those, and the final choice depends on the emperor's preferences. On the contrary, it is the fish pond and restaurant that make her feel uneasy.

   I don’t know if it’s easier to rent shops in the county now that the county magistrate has changed, I have to go out and inquire in the next few days.

   After all, this is the Chu family's way of life, and it is also his own way of retreat.

  Seeing that she insisted on this, Lin Jinxiao didn't try to persuade her any more.

  At this moment, Sang Qi came in with a basin of hot water for the two of them to wash their faces and feet.

  The two stopped their conversation immediately, and when they finished washing, Chu Nanzhi first ordered: "Sang Qi, your brother lives in the outer courtyard to feed the horses and look after the yard, so you can sleep in the ear room next to the attic in the east wing of the inner courtyard."

   "Your maidservant has made a note, Mrs. Liu has already taken her maidservant to clean it up, so the master doesn't have to worry about it."

  Sang Qi bowed respectfully towards the two with the wooden basin in her hand, and said with warm eyes, "Master and Lord, rest earlier."

"it is good."

   After waiting for Sang Qi to go out, Chu Nanzhi locked the door, Lin Jinxiao took out the quilt from the cabinet and spread it under the bookcase, thinking about Sang Qi and Sang Kun brothers and sisters, he was still a little uneasy.

  Actually, he had already made arrangements for the servants in the house, and he never thought that Chu Nanzhi would buy two slaves back without discussing with him.

  At this moment, he couldn't say anything more, so he had to turn around and say:

"This trip to Haikang County, the imperial court will reward. According to the past practice, I am afraid that some servants will be rewarded. In fact, a few more houses can be built in the outer courtyard of this house. Tomorrow, the servants will come. What do you think? If it’s appropriate, tell them about it.”

   "You don't have to ask me about this, just arrange it yourself."

  Chu Nanzhi showed a look of indifference, took a law book in his hand and started flipping it under the oil lamp.

  I just promised him to live in the old house temporarily, but she won't really occupy his ancestral house. After the little treasures no longer depend on her, she is still planning to move out.

Seeing that she was absent-minded, Lin Jinxiao was a little annoyed at first, but thinking that she had so many things to do next, how could she care about the matter of reconciliation? After a month, she still had to obediently hand over the reconciliation book to her. inside.

  Thinking like this, he shook his head with a smile on his face, no longer caring about her indifferent attitude, but said indifferently: "Then I will explain to my mother-in-law tomorrow."
