Chapter 446: Was there a woman just now?
Lin Hong's gaze fell on Xiao Tangbao again.
The little girl is pink and tender, with delicate features and a lovely and lively appearance.
The big eyes blinked, sparkling with intelligence.
Alas! If Jin'er were still here...
Lin Hong sighed to himself.
In the end, the Lin family is unlucky.
"Dad, why don't we move to the countryside?" Third Master Lin said with envy, "Life is simple there, working from sunrise to sunset, even if it's just plain food. As long as there's no intrigue and flattery in the capital, it's easy and comfortable..."
Lin Hong looked at the longing expression on his son's face and said, "Haven't you always wanted to open a private school? When you get back, why not open one in the countryside?"
"Dad, you agreed?" Uncle Lin San said in surprise.
Lin Hong nodded.
"Thank you, Dad!" Uncle Lin said excitedly.
"Teaching and educating people, and benefiting the village, can also be considered as accumulating blessings for Jin'er." Lin Hong said.
When Lin Hong mentioned Lin Wangjin, the excited expression on Mr. Lin San's face disappeared and turned into sadness.
"Dad, why did Jin'er leave?"
Uncle Lin San couldn't figure out why his son, who had always been obedient and sensible and whom he loved so much, suddenly ran away from home.
"Maybe... he is disappointed with the Lin family." Lin Hong said with a distant look in his eyes.
Master Lin San, “…”
I thought of the unclear, intermittent words from my mother's mouth...
My heart sank.
Jin'er, where are you?
Mr. Lin San was unwilling to believe that his son was really gone.
Since my son could warn me through dreams, how could he die so easily?
He knew that his son was always tough and would never give up his life easily.
"Let's go." Lin Hong said.
Then, he took a deep look at the lively atmosphere of the Su family, as if he wanted to remember this moment in his heart.
Mr. Lin San lowered his head and followed Lin Hong in a daze.
Gu Xiu Niang was holding a needlework basket, walked out of the room and was about to go to the backyard when she ran into the Lin family's father and son.
Gu Xiu Niang's expression changed, she lowered her head and stepped aside.
His back was slightly arched, and a few strands of hair fell on his forehead, covering most of his face.
It was not until the Lin family father and son left the courtyard that Gu Xiu Niang raised her head and tucked the loose hair on her temples behind her ears.
Then he walked to the backyard with a calm expression.
"Dad, was there a woman standing in the yard just now?" Uncle Lin San suddenly asked after he went out.
Lin Hong frowned, not understanding what his son meant.
Uncle Lin San touched his nose.
He actually didn't mean anything...
The Lin family father and son left quietly without alerting the Su family.
The Su family's yard was still bustling.
"Speaking of which, Sister Su will be an official's wife in the future." The village chief's wife said with envy.
Originally, she was considered the wife of an official in the village.
After all, her husband is the village chief, and in the eyes of the villagers of Daliushu Village, he is also a village official.
Now, Mrs. Su has become a genuine imperial lady.
"That's not right. Brother Su is not an official, so how can Sister Su be considered an official's wife?" Someone suddenly discovered this problem.
Everyone was stunned.
Then, everyone looked at Old Man Su.
Old Man Su, “…”
What are you looking at me for?
My wife is a high-ranking imperial lady, so what?
By the way, any imperial decree to be a lady is determined by the man’s official title.
A situation like that of Old Lady Su is truly unprecedented.
Of course, if Old Lady Su were promoted to the next level, she would be at the level of a noble lady.
Now, she can only be called Madam Imperially Ordered.
Old Master Wang took a puff from his pipe and jokingly said, "Old Su, it has always been the case that the husband is honored and the wife is respected. But with you, it's the other way around."
Old Man Su raised his head and said proudly, "Who made us so lucky?"
Mr. Wang, “…”
"You, you..." Old Man Wang tapped Old Man Su's head with his pipe and was speechless.
"What's the matter? Are you jealous? It's your fault that you don't have such a good life!" The smug look on old man Su's face made all the men in the yard want to beat him up.
Mr. Wang, “…”
I simply ignored Old Man Su.
He had never seen such a shameless man!
"Ouch! Brother Su, I'm late! Congratulations... Congratulations..."
While saying this, County Magistrate Zheng walked into the yard, sweating profusely.
Behind him was Mrs. Zheng, with a complicated look in her eyes and a forced smile on her face.
It is said that County Magistrate Zheng and his wife went out not too late, but unexpectedly the axle of their carriage broke on the way.
So, we had to stop and let someone repair the car.
Then, he missed the scene of Eunuch Liu delivering the imperial edict.
However, County Magistrate Zheng and his wife now know that Old Lady Su has been canonized as a sixth-rank Anren.
After all, if anything happens to the Su family, news spreads very quickly.
As soon as County Magistrate Zheng got off his carriage, he met a few villagers at the gate and told them what had happened.
It is precisely because of this that the light in Mrs. Zheng's eyes is so complicated.
Originally, she wanted to marry into the Su family, but it never worked out.
There is little hope for my son, and it's all over for my niece.
Later I thought, I might as well become sisters with Old Lady Su.
In this way, they also became relatives with the Su family.
Now that I have become Xiao Tangbao's godson, I can also let my son be close to her, right?
However, news came from the capital that her man would soon be promoted and leave Fengqi County.
Mrs. Zheng felt that her status was too low for her to become sworn brothers with Old Lady Su.
Since my family is no longer staying in this small place like Fengqi County, maybe my son can find a better marriage partner.
The result was that while Mrs. Zheng was hesitating, County Magistrate Zheng had not yet been promoted, but Old Lady Su had already been promoted.
Moreover, his rank is higher than that of Zheng County Magistrate.
Now in the entire Fengqi County, it is Old Lady Su who has the highest status.
In this case, how could Mrs. Zheng not feel complicated?
When County Magistrate Zheng and his wife arrived, people naturally came to pay their respects to the County Magistrate.
"Greetings, His Excellency the County Magistrate." Old Man Su hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
County Magistrate Zheng grabbed Old Man Su and said angrily, "Brother Su, you are being too polite again, aren't you?"
Old Man Su laughed heartily. "Okay! I'm being too rigid again. Don't blame me, Brother Zheng."
County Magistrate Zheng and Old Man Su had a very pleasant conversation, but Mrs. Zheng and Old Lady Su felt a little embarrassed.
Normally, it was always Old Lady Su who greeted Madam Zheng with full courtesy.
Although Mrs. Zheng repeatedly told her not to be so polite, Old Lady Su never failed to show courtesy.
But today, the situation has changed, and it is Mrs. Zheng's turn to pay her respects to Old Lady Su.
If Madam Zheng really didn't care about her status, it wouldn't be too awkward for her to bow to Old Madam Su.
Moreover, I will be happy for Old Mrs. Su.
But how could Mrs. Zheng not care?
So--
Is this gift okay or not?
