Lin Qing comforted Zhou Yan, sat for a while, and had a conversation with Zhou Yan, then left, left the palace, and then returned to the Ministry of Rites to sit in the hall.
Back to the Ministry of Rites, Lin Qing entered his room, Xu Sheng hurried over, brought Lin Qing a basin of ice and put it on the table.
Lin Qing looked at the ice on the table and said, "Is this this year's profit?"
"Yes, my lord, this is the ice sent by the Ministry of Households. The Lord of the Ministry asked me to sort it out according to the grade, and my subordinates just went to get it." Xu Sheng said.
Lin Qing nodded, all the officials before the fourth grade would have ice charcoal tribute every year for heating and cooling, this tribute is divided into two parts, one part is kind, and the other part is money.
The physical goods are usually sent directly by the Ministry of Households to the various ministries for everyone to use, while the money is for family use. Of course, this is actually a gray income. After all, most of the time, filial piety is higher than an official's salary for a year.
Lin Qing didn't have enough grades before, but now he finally enjoys it.
Xu Sheng set out the ice, went to the ear room to make tea for Lin Qing, put it on the table, and complimented Lin Qing: "Your Majesty's deep love, Your Majesty is really a blessing."
Lin Qing looked up at him strangely, and said, "How do you know that I just came back from the palace?"
"At noon just now, my lord is not here. The lord of the hall said that you are in the palace, and you will be back later. The officials and others will know about it." Xu Sheng said.
Lin Qing looked at Xu Sheng's almost admiring gaze, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Did he pretend to be coercive by accident?
But Lin Qing can understand Xu Sheng's heart. The emperor usually stays in the palace except when he goes to court. People outside, especially those who are not of high grade, even if they are officials, most of them don't know what the emperor looks like for the rest of their lives. The emperor is just like the feeling of God.
As for Xu Sheng, he has only been from the ninth rank, and he has never seen Shengyan. Although everyone knew that Lin Qing was the new emperor's husband before, after all, they had never seen Lin Qing and the new emperor together, but now they know that Lin Qing was personally killed by the new emperor. Summoned, Xu Sheng's impact is undoubtedly great.
Lin Qing wanted to say something at first, but found that it seemed inappropriate to say anything now, so he nodded coldly and said, "Go and get the documents that I want to examine today!"
"Yes, my lord." Xu Sheng immediately went to the outside room to fetch the pending documents sent by various divisions.
Lin Qing looked at it and shook her head silently.
evening
After Lin Qing was on duty, he took a carriage home leisurely. When he got home, he saw two children playing games in the yard.
Lin Qinggang asked: "What are you playing?"
The two children looked up at him in surprise when they heard the voice, and then ran away immediately, saying as they ran, "Daddy, let's go back to do our homework, and we just played for a while."
Lin Qing: ¡¡¡
Feelings These two children ran out to play without finishing their homework!
No wonder he ran away when he saw him. Lin Qing immediately made a silent note for the two children in his heart, and planned to arrange a few more big characters for the two children when they checked their homework at night.
Tell you to sneak out to play without finishing your homework!
Lin Qing thought wickedly, then walked to the main room in the backyard, opened the curtain and entered.
Seeing Wang Yan sitting in the room thinking about the abacus, Lin Qing smiled and said, "What is Madam busy with?"
Wang Yan was startled, then raised her head and ignored Lin Qing, and complained, "Erlang didn't make any noise when he came back, almost scaring the concubine."
Lin Qing came over, took Wang Yan into his arms and said, "It's because I'm not a good husband, I'm scaring Yan'er. What are you doing? Why did you take out all the account books, and it's not the end of the year now."
Wang Yan put down the account book in her hand and said, "It's already halfway through the year, isn't this concubine going to check the accounts for the first half of the year?"
After hearing this, Lin Qing didn't say anything. Anyway, his wife was in charge of the family money, so he never asked.
Although Lin Qing didn't ask, Wang Yan still said to Lin Qing: "Our family earned a lot of money in the first half of this year, plus your salary, Erlang, it would be a waste to just leave it alone. The shop is set up. Erlang, what do you think?"
Lin Qing nodded and said, "You just need to do it as long as it looks easy. Anyway, you have done it before, and it must be easier to do it now. If there is any inconvenient thing, tell me, and I will get it for you. "
Wang Yan nodded and thought of one more thing, so she said to Lin Qing: "Erlang, do you think we should change the house? Get a bigger one."
"Change the house?" Lin Qing said in amazement after hearing this: "Isn't this house quite comfortable to live in? Besides, there are people living in the Imperial Academy around here, and it is also very quiet."
???This place is really nice to live in, and the neighbors are also kind people, but Erlang, don¡¯t forget, Huan¡¯er is grown up now, and when Huan¡¯er finishes the provincial examination this year, he should say kiss when he comes back, and he wants to see him then, Our yard seems a little petty. Besides, if all the children marry wives, our four sons will not be able to live here! "Wang Yan said.
Lin Qing suddenly thought that his son was seventeen now, not too young, and had reached the age to say goodbye.
Wang Yan looked at Lin Qing and asked again: "By the way, Erlang, you used to say that you are not in a hurry, but now that Huan'er is seventeen, you have to be in a hurry. If you don't say anything, the good girl will be picked out. That's right." , Erlang, do you think about helping Huan'er to see others every day?"
After hearing this, Lin Qing felt a little guilty, hehehe twice, and said, "I'm not looking at it right now, it's just that it doesn't look right."
Wang Yan gave Lin Qing a blank look. After being married for so many years, how could Wang Yan not know what Lin Qing was thinking, and said: "I know that you, a father, don't care. I took a special look a few days ago, and it's true I saw a few good ones."
"When did you watch it?" Lin Qing asked in surprise.
"Of course it's just a way to watch it when you're a guest at another house. Is it possible that a concubine can go to someone else's house and purposely not see it?" Wang Yan said.
It was only then that Lin Qing thought about the weddings and funerals of his colleagues. These female relatives were all together, and many of them must have brought their daughters out.
Can't help but ask curiously: "Who do you see?"
When Wang Yan talked about the candidates for the future daughter-in-law, she immediately became excited, and said: "Since you have been promoted to the third rank, the concubine has received more posts. A few days ago, several old lords in the capital celebrated their birthdays, and the concubine also went Yes, there were quite a few families who brought their girls to the scene. I looked around and found that there were a few suitable ones.
This first one is a girl from Dali Temple Qingmeng's family. Although this girl Meng is not very outstanding, she is decent and generous, and she is the eldest daughter. It is definitely no problem to be the eldest daughter-in-law.
The second one is the daughter of Lord Jingzhao Yinliang's family. This is not the eldest daughter, but the youngest daughter, but her family education is also very good, and she looks good. Huan'er probably likes this one more.
The third one is the daughter of Qin Shilang from the Ministry of Industry. This is the second daughter.
¡¡¡±
Wang Yan told Lin Qing the names of a bunch of officials and their daughters, and Lin Qing was sweating profusely. This is not a guest, so I will take a look at it, and I will almost memorize it in a booklet.
But fortunately, Wang Yan is very practical. All the families she looks for are third or fourth grade, and she is in the same family as the Lin family, and it seems that she has put in a lot of effort.
After Wang Yan finished talking about what she read, she said: "The above are all read by my concubine, and I don't know if he likes it or not. If Erlang thinks it's good, he can ask. By the way, there are many people who ask about Huan'er. "
"Someone also asked Huan'er?" Lin Qing sat up straight and asked.
Wang Yan said with a smile: "Of course there are questions, and there are quite a few. If Huan'er can pass the rural examination now, I'm afraid there will be more questions. After all, because of you, our family style has always been counted in the capital."
?Thanks to Lin Qing's self-discipline, except for Lin Qing's name as Prince Tan's Tai Tuo, it's probably because he hasn't taken a concubine for twenty years. Although there are some people in the capital who don't have a concubine's room, there is more or less a common room, and there is a girl in the room, like Lin Qing, it is really the only one in the capital.
Although in the eyes of men, Lin Qing is inevitably a little puzzled, but to the women in the back house, Lin Qing is definitely synonymous with "good husband and son-in-law".
Especially after Lin Qing became the third-rank official, his reputation became even worse. After all, he was only a fifth-rank official before. Even if he and his wife played harmoniously, many people would not pay attention to him. But after he was in a high position, he was still able to guard his wife alone, which undoubtedly envied all the wives in the capital.
Therefore, when Wang Yan expressed her desire to marry her son, there were many people who were higher than the lintel of the Lin family, and those who cared for their daughter also said a word or two to Wang Yan.
Lin Qing couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He didn't expect that his reputation would affect his son, but now everyone pays attention to the daughter's mother and son's father. There is also a reason.
However, Lin Qing felt that marrying a wife was a prudent matter. If Huan'er didn't like the one they married, wouldn't it be a delay for the child, so he said: "Huan'er will go to Beijing after the provincial examination in autumn, no matter whether he wins or not. After he enters Beijing, let him choose by himself, we choose, in case he doesn't like it, it will be troublesome at the time."
"How can their children decide on such a big matter." Wang Yan muttered, but felt that what Lin Qing said was also reasonable, so she said, "Forget it, listen to you, let Huan'er choose for himself!"
After Wang Yan finished speaking, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and said: "You let Huan'er choose, how can Huan'er choose, he can't see these girls at all, it's better that I, a mother, have seen them with my own eyes!"
Lin Qing: ¡¡¡
How could he almost forget about this again! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)After finishing, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and said: "You let Huan'er choose, how can Huan'er choose, he can't see these girls at all, it's better that I, a mother, have seen them with my own eyes!"
