Chapter 449: One Family Has a Daughter, Hundreds of Families Seek
Having said that, he sighed.
Lin Zhiqing and Lin Qingshan looked at each other and both understood what the Chief Censor meant.
From the perspective of the Chief Censor, the events of many years ago originated from the threat from the Zhenyuan Marquisate, but he was not aware of this, so he always misunderstood the Lin family.
This can indeed explain the previous ill will of the Censorate and the Chief Censor towards the Lin family.
Lin Zhiqing did not expect that the Chief Censor would reveal all these things.
During the first trial, the Chief Censor was indeed not very friendly to the Lin family, but during the second trial he often spoke from a neutral position.
It is precisely because of this that the Lin family has a chance to turn the tables.
Therefore, there is no possibility that the Chief Censor is trying to curry favor with the Lin family because he sees the family reviving.
This Lord Wang is indeed a person who sticks to the facts and has a rather stubborn temper.
Moreover, he is a person who can let go of his pride.
Lin Zhiqing has seen too many high-sounding people.
Looking back now, she still remembered that the first Dasheng official she met was the Supervisory Censor of the Censorate.
At that time, she was quite surprised that a Censor who made a living by talking would actually stutter.
Now it seems that with a stubborn old man like Wang Yuan as the head of the Censorate, the officials under it should be selected based on their abilities first, with the rest as supplementary.
This is indeed a good thing for the Dasheng court.
Having said that, Lin Qingshan and Lin Zhiqing certainly wouldn't blame Wang Yuan too much.
At least the Censorate had no real impact on the Lin family.
Lin Qingshan didn't say much, just comforted Wang Yuan a few words, and the matter was over.
After the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion collapsed, the Lin family became idle, but Lu Huai became busy.
After Lu Huai took office, the Ministry of Revenue worked hard, using Jiang Yunhe's case as a breakthrough point, and followed the clues to uncover many despicable activities.
Among them, Dali Temple Minister Zhou Chongzheng was the first to be hit.
The incident in which Zhou Chongzheng abused his position to sue Jun Jin soon broke out.
In addition, some people from the six ministries were also purged, and the situation was particularly serious among the military generals.
Previously, everyone, led by the Zhenyuan Marquisate, had lowered their heads, fearing that the Ministry of Revenue would catch them.
At this point, all the big stones pressing on the Lin family have been removed.
The emperor has announced to the world that Lin Congrong's case of treason has been completely overturned.
After such a long time, his title returned to the Lin family.
The glory of two marquises in one family finally returned after many twists and turns.
In addition, the imperial court followed the clues and eliminated the remaining forces of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and the Lin family also made a lot of efforts.
The people passed the story on from mouth to mouth, and even storytellers compiled the Lin family's experience into a book.
Ms. Lin went to court to redress her father's grievances, and angrily fought against her heartless husband to seize the power of the marquis!
This sentence was widely circulated in Shengjing City, and Lin Zhiqing's reputation gradually rose through word of mouth among the people.
Some officials even began to have ideas about her marriage.
"I say, Granny Liu, I was here first today, so get out of the way!"
"You old bastard, I'm here to ask for marriage on behalf of the nephew of the Duke of Pei. Why are you asking me to leave?"
"A daughter is sought after by hundreds of families. The old lady of the scholar's mansion has repeatedly warned me to tell Miss Lin about our cousin. Get up!"
"Hey, I just don't believe it. You don't even give face to the Duke of Pei!"
…
Lin Zhiqing looked at the two ice men confronting each other and couldn't help rubbing his temples.
Seeing this, Lin Qingshan cleared his throat:
"You two, are you planning to tear down the Lin family? I've already said that Qing is still young and won't consider getting married."
"Oh, Lord!" One of the ice men stepped forward, his brow furrowed like a bitter melon.
"Ms. Lin is already an old maid now. If you don't seize this great opportunity quickly, you won't have the chance to regret it later!"
When Lin Zhiqing heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
She is only nineteen years old this year and has become an old maid in the eyes of these matchmakers.
If she hadn't been afraid of gossip spreading about the Lin family's arrogance, she would have been unable to hold back and started cursing.
In the past, the noble families in Shengjing City avoided her like the plague, but recently they have collectively changed their ways and are praising and flattering her.
Lin Qingshan frowned: "I have already said that Qing girl is in no hurry to leave. She needs to stay for two more years."
The Iceman shook his handkerchief and spoke again:
"My Lord, Miss Lin's eyebrows are like distant black smoke, and her eyes are like rippling autumn water. She is truly a girl who walked out of a painting. She will definitely be a beautiful girl who will bring prosperity to our family in the future."
"Everyone outside knows that Miss Lin redressed her father's grievances and shocked the three wise men in the hall with her words. She is a filial daughter and daughter-in-law who is hard to find even with a lantern."
"You've seen the Duke of Pei's nephew before. He's a handsome man, and the Duke of Pei just muttered the word 'jade bamboo shoot' and ran thousands of miles to find it."
"They are both pure and kind people, and they are a perfect match!"
After the ice man finished speaking, another ice man stepped forward, not wanting to be outdone:
"My Lord, listen to me. Our Scholar's Mansion is a well-known and honest family. Our young master is sensible and knows when to act. He doesn't have the slightest bit of a dandy air."
"I marry a wife for her virtue, not her wealth. Miss Lin is such a good girl with good character and good manners. She is a perfect match for my cousin."
"Not only that, I heard that Miss Lin is proficient in needlework, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, medicine, and tea ceremony. My cousin is also very talented. The two of them are a perfect match!"
"Cough, cough, cough."
After hearing these last words, Lin Zhiqing couldn't help it.
Are women proficient in needlework, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and the art of tea ceremony?
Is this referring to her, Lin Zhiqing?
These ice people don't care about her life or death at all, they just praise her with their eyes closed.
This is too exaggerated.
Lin Qingshan couldn't bear to listen any longer. Although in his heart Lin Zhiqing was good in every way, it wasn't to the point of shaking the world and making ghosts weep.
He couldn't help but slam the table: "This Marquis said no, it's no. Come, please get these two ice men out!"
Directly resort to coercive measures.
If it were a few days ago, Lin Zhiqing might have advised Lin Qingshan to soften his attitude and not offend those people easily.
But now she is no longer surprised by this scene.
These days, the Lin family’s doorstep is almost broken down.
The official media said it first, and if it fails, the Iceman will come again.
The people who come every time are different, which gives Lin Zhiqing a headache.
Now even the Grand Secretary and the Duke of Pei have joined in the fun, and Lin Zhiqing can't help feeling annoyed.
Only after the two ice men were pulled out did Lin Zhiqing feel that his surroundings became quiet.
Lin Yangyang and Yan Yu walked in from outside, both of them with gloating expressions.
Lin Yangyang spoke first: "Sister Qing, someone else is coming?"
Lin Zhiqing nodded helplessly.
"Your luck with women is pretty good now. You've even pursued me to this extent. Wow." Yan Yu continued.
Before Lin Zhiqing could speak, Lin Qingshan snorted coldly:
"What kind of bastards are they? How dare they covet Qing girl!"
