Chapter 9 Good News
According to the time calculation, Lin Baozhu is the child of the restaurant owner. However, Lin Qingyun was cuckolded, but he was always confident that Lin Baozhu was his biological daughter.
Because of Wang's constant crying and begging, Lin Qingyun secretly replaced Lin Baozhu into the mansion when Lin Qianqian was born, making Lin Baozhu a true rich lady.
She could easily take advantage of Wang's leverage and make her pay seven thousand taels of silver, so that she could raise enough money to buy Jiang's house.
By then, you will definitely see Wang jumping up and down in anger.
Lin Qianqian arranged: "Ada, after I buy the Jiang residence back from the government, you will live in the Jiang residence permanently, and you will be responsible for the repair of the Jiang residence in the future."
"yes."
Lin Qianqian has already inquired about the case committed by the Jiang family and is certain that it is definitely a wrongful case.
The Jiang family was a founding hero of the Great Yan Kingdom. They had been engaged in military service for generations and had sacrificed countless lives in resisting foreign enemies.
Because the treasury was empty, her grandfather often used money from the palace to support soldiers at the border. How could he possibly embezzle military pay? That was absolutely impossible.
After the house is repaired, I will try to find a way to bring my grandparents back to the capital.
After a few days, it was a nice sunny day.
Early in the morning, a group of soldiers came to the gate of Lin Mansion.
These officers and soldiers were wearing red silk and beating gongs and drums.
After the servant reported the news to Old Lady Lin, she was overjoyed.
There is nothing big happening these days. If there is any big thing, it is the announcement of the results of the Tongsheng examination.
"It must be that boy Baoyu who passed the exam. A twelve-year-old student is a great honor to the Lin family."
The Baoyu mentioned by the old lady is Lin Baozhu's younger brother.
Old Mrs. Lin has had such a smooth and happy life in recent years that she has begun to consider issues at will, without any rules at all.
When she said that Baoyu passed the imperial examination and became a virgin, she really believed that Baoyu passed the imperial examination and became a virgin.
The old lady's face flushed. She immediately changed into her best clothes and walked out of the house with Xiao Xing's support.
"What a lively scene! Baoyu really brought honor to the Lin family."
Xiao Xing also followed suit, "Madam, Master Baoyu is really a good person. Maybe he will help you get the title of Madam in the future."
The eldest son, Lin Qingyun, did request a title, but he requested the title for Wang, not Old Madam Lin, so Old Madam Lin held a grudge for several years.
Wang, who had rushed over after hearing the news, listened to the conversation between the old lady and Xiao Xing and thought that the gongs and drums outside were really to announce a happy event, so she quickly ordered Madam Sun: "Quick, bring out the wedding money."
Soon, a soldier came out and said to Old Lady Lin and the others, "We are from the Wucheng Military Division. We are here to give Miss Lin Qianqian a reward. Miss Lin is amazing. She helped our Wucheng Military Division capture the imperial criminal."
What they sent over included not only a reward of 1,000 taels of silver from the court, but also two boxes of gifts from the chief and deputy commanders of the Five Cities Military Division, packed in camphor wood boxes, and a silk banner.
Thanks to Lin Qianqian, the commander-in-chief and the deputy commander-in-chief were not dismissed from their posts. This great favor cannot be offset by two boxes of gifts.
Old Mrs. Lin was very disappointed when she learned the truth. She didn't know how lucky that girl was to help the soldiers catch the wanted criminal.
The second son is also confused. He has money but instead of respecting his mother, he uses it to please a little girl. Next time I see him, I must give him a good talk.
Wang was very angry because the reward money had already been given out.
They were all copper coins strung together with red strings, filling up eight large baskets, and more than one hundred taels of wedding money were given away.
The fire in my heart.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Mother Sun quickly shrank behind her maid Xiaotao.
Last night I was still wondering who would have the upper hand between Madam and Miss Qianqian, but today I saw that Madam was at a disadvantage again.
Although the madam is much older than Miss Qianqian, she is completely incompetent when it comes to domestic fighting!
I don’t know if the Taoist priest from Qingfeng Temple will be able to subdue Miss Qianqian when the time comes.
Wang couldn't help but complain: "These officers and soldiers who sent the reward silver are really something, it's not a big deal, why do they have to wear red silk!"
But in fact, the old lady should be blamed more. When she just left the house, she wanted to ask for clarification. It was the old lady who told her that Baoyu passed the examination for a scholar and these people came to deliver the good news.
"Mother, why did you say just now that these people were here to deliver good news?"
Old Madam Lin argued: "I wasn't wrong. These people did come to deliver good news, but they were good news for Qian. You didn't figure out the matter yourself and just wasted money. You still have the nerve to blame me!"
Wang felt very upset.
Mrs. Lin ignored her, snorted coldly, and went back with the help of her maid Xiao Xing.
Wang felt very aggrieved.
Although one hundred taels is not a lot, it is not acceptable to use it to make Lin Qianqian proud.
He decided to take the one thousand taels of reward silver into his own hands while Lin Qianqian was away and vent his anger.
Wang: "Give the reward to me first."
The officer leader quickly refused: "That won't work."
Before he came, he was instructed by Deputy Commander Lin Qingping to personally hand the silver and gifts to Lin Qianqian.
Lin Qianqian met the fool Guanjun Hou again when she went out today. Guanjun Hou stuck to her like last time.
After finally getting rid of Marquis Guanjun and returning to the Lin Residence, he heard about the reward as soon as he got back.
Good news! She was in urgent need of money to buy the Jiang residence, so she hurried to the gate to collect the reward and gifts.
Seeing that Second Madam Liu was also outside the mansion, Lin Qianqian thanked her in person: "Second Uncle is so polite and gave me so many gifts."
Liu smiled and said, "It was your maternal grandfather who got your second uncle into the Wucheng Bingmasi. Otherwise, how could a rough man like him get in?"
Although the Jiang Mansion has collapsed, the commander of the Five Cities Military Division was once a general under Lin Qianqian's grandfather. Over the years, he promoted Lin Qingping, an ordinary soldier, to the position of deputy commander. Of course, this was also inseparable from Lin Qingping's own efforts.
After the officers and soldiers left, the Lin Mansion closed the door.
The first lady wanted to make things difficult for Lin Qianqian, but she had to give up because the second lady was following her.
At worst, we can just do it later.
Anyway, the person is already in the mansion, and the duck that has been caught cannot fly away, it’s just a matter of sooner or later.
Wang walked towards her own yard with a sullen face, planning to wait until the second wife left before asking someone to move the silver and gifts.
She was the daughter of the prime minister of the current dynasty, and her dowry was already very generous, so she had no shortage of the one thousand taels of silver. But deep down, she couldn't stand Lin Qianqian getting better off than she already was.
She wanted to snatch anything that belonged to Lin Qianqian, and make Lin Qianqian become like Jiang, with nothing.
If she can't even control a little girl like this who has no support, she might as well not be the mistress.
Second Madam Liu has plenty of time this time and plans to go and see the residence that Wang has arranged for Qianqian.
"Qianqian, auntie happens to be free today. Do you mind if I come to visit your place?"
"Of course I don't mind!"
Liu walked and walked until she came to the stable, her eyes turning red with anger.
"It's totally uninhabitable here, Qianqian, why don't you live in my house?"
The second son Lin Qingping and the eldest son Lin Qingyun have separated. Now the second son lives in a house not far from the Lin Mansion. Although the place is not as big as the Lin Mansion, it is decorated very warmly.
"No, no, don't worry, Auntie. I used to live in a mud house in the countryside. This is a stone house after all. It's not bad to live in."
Liu's tears were low, and she quickly picked up the handkerchief embroidered with balsam flowers and pressed it against her eyes. "Poor little Qianqian, you must have suffered a lot in the past."
In the evening, Lin Qingyun returned home and was stopped by his younger brother Lin Qingping.
