You are my golden finger

Chapter 214: Countrymen Enter the Capital

As the three little babies grew up, a new year came. Except for Xihui and Xinfeng who accompanied Xingwen and other villagers to return to their hometown to worship their ancestors, Lin Xijin, Xijia, and An'an did not return to Shiziwo because the three cute babies were too young and it was inconvenient.

Lin Xijin had previously asked the transport team to tell Sanpo to go to Beijing with Da Niu and Erhu after the new year, and now she was telling Xihui again.

"Xihui, you and Xinfeng should go back to the village this time to bring Sanpo and Erhu to Beijing, and ask the tutor to help guide them before the provincial examination."

"And Xingcheng and Xiaowen will also go to take the imperial examination with you this year. I thought that your uncle and uncle might want to go to Beijing to accompany you in the exam. You might as well let them go to Beijing with Uncle Mu Xiong's family and let them move into the new house together." Lin Xijin explained one by one.

After explaining all this, Xihui and Xinfeng were allowed to go back. The boys had grown up, and it was time for them to experience things on their own.

Lin Xijin then asked Ye Jinlin and Chuntao to bring Qi Po and Huang Ma Ma into the palace, and everyone celebrated the New Year in great joy.

Xihui and Xinfeng returned to Shiziwo to celebrate the New Year, and set off for Beijing on the sixth day of the first lunar month. On the one hand, they couldn't leave Lin Xijin, Sanbao and others behind, and on the other hand, they wanted to return to Beijing early to study more.

Those who accompanied him to the capital this time included Sanpo's family, the clan leader, the village head and his wife, uncle Jian'an and uncle Muxiong, and Xingwu and his wife.

Uncle Jian'an and Uncle Muxiong, along with Mr. and Mrs. Xingwu, were only planning to go through Kyoto and then from Kyoto to Hangzhou.

At the end of October last year, the construction of Jiuchang County was completed, and the focus of construction shifted to Hangzhou, especially the construction of Qingxi Lake Reservoir and various tourism developments. The project is currently at a critical juncture, and Uncle Jianan and Uncle Muxiong are really worried.

Lin Xijin asked the two to take more apprentices. After the development of Hangzhou is completed, the two can semi-retire and hand over the main work to the young people, who will not need to work too hard.

The two of them were grateful for Lin Xijin's thoughtfulness and naturally agreed.

In order to entertain everyone, Lin Xijin brought the three children back to the Princess's Mansion from the East Palace. I don't know if it's a congenital advantage. The three little guys can actually roll over and crawl. Lin Xijin herself thinks these three children are a bit evil.

There are many children in the family, and every day is very lively.

At noon on the tenth day, Xihui arrived with the clan leaders. Lin Xijin had been detained by Murong Xu since she was found to be pregnant last spring, and had not been anywhere except for the trip to Hangzhou, so she had not seen everyone for nearly a year.

"Jin'er, I haven't seen you for a long time. Third Auntie missed you so much." Third Auntie's eyes turned red when she saw them, but as it was New Year's Day, she tried to hold back her tears.

Grandma Liu and Grandma Wang also excitedly came forward and held her hands.

"Okay, go inside and sit down first and talk." Seeing that these women were about to start nagging again, the clan leader spoke quickly.

Grandma Qi hurriedly welcomed the three old ladies into the house. Only then did Li Yunxi come forward to greet Lin Xijin, and she was extremely cordial.

When they meet, they inevitably chat about the situation at home and the things they miss each other after separation.

In the evening, Murong Xu, who had just finished his court session, also rushed back. Everyone greeted each other again, and the usual dinner party mode of Shiziwo began.

During this time, Grandma Liu and Grandma San invited Lin Xijin and Mu Jin to chat and talked about Mu Jin's mother Liu Qunying.

"Liu Qunying heard from a villager who was studying at Kyoto Medical College that Mu Jin is now an assistant professor at the medical college with a high income, and he has to be very polite in front of Jin'er."

"She heard that we were going to the capital, especially that Sanpo could bring Erhu to study in the capital, so she had evil thoughts in her mind and wanted to bring her son with her to the capital."

"It was not until she was scolded by your uncle that she temporarily stopped thinking about it. But she kept chasing your uncle and said that she knew she was wrong. Your uncle could not bear her pestering and had to agree to ask you and Mu Jin's opinions first."

Grandma Liu and Grandma San were talking about Liu Qunying's situation.

Lin Xijin didn’t care. After all, she was Mu Jin’s mother, so it depended on Mu Jin’s opinion.

"Sister Jin, I will not let her come to Beijing and disturb our lives. I want to make her regret and make her a warning to the world. I also want to let the world know what the consequences of favoring sons over daughters are. If one day she really can't make a living, I will pay for her retirement, and she can forget about anything else." Mu Jin looked determined.

"Mu Jin said it well! Some people are short-sighted and cruel. Just last year, Er Hu's mother came to our house and said that she wanted to divorce her husband and return to Shiziwo, but I threw water at her and drove her out. The villagers all helped!" Grandma San sighed.

"That's why they say a woman brings prosperity to three generations. Look at Jiang. She didn't teach her son well, and she also raised her grandson in a wrong way. If he wasn't stupid, there would still be trouble. If it weren't for you and Xihui raising Lin Guiqi, I don't know what would have happened in the future. People! After all, you have to be kind!" Grandma Liu's words were rough but her point was true.

"Yes, if it weren't for Jin'er's kindness, we wouldn't have the good life we ​​have today. Good people will be rewarded. Look at our Jin'er, she is a living example!" Grandma San quickly agreed.

The older generation in rural areas do not have much knowledge, but they use the simplest language to express eternal truths.

The next day, Lin Xijin took the four families to look at houses. These houses were not far from the Princess's Mansion, and Lin Xijin bought them from the private property confiscated by the court when several princes were deposed.

Now Lin Xijin has asked the housekeeper to complete the transfer procedures and transfer the property to the names of several families.

Considering that the clan leader's family has a large population and economic strength, and Xingwen, Xingcheng, and Niu'er are all in Kyoto, the house bought for his family is the largest. It is a four-courtyard house, and the price is more than 20,000 taels.

The homes of the village head and Uncle Mu Xiong both have three courtyards, and the price of the houses is more than 15,000 yuan.

The house bought for Third Grandma was a small courtyard with two entrances. Although it was not big, it was also exquisite and elegant. Lin Xijin told Third Grandma frankly that this house would cost more than 7,000 taels.

Lin Xijin knew that except for the Third Aunt's family, it would not be a problem for the other three families to buy houses.

"Third Aunt, the house has been transferred to Erhu's name, and I will keep the title deed for you. Daya is currently in school and has started her internship, and has begun to receive monthly wages. Erhu will study hard with Xihui and the others, so you can live in the Princess' Mansion with Seventh Aunt and take care of them. After Erhu graduates from high school, you can move in." Lin Xijin said to Third Aunt considerately.

"Jin'er, to use the teacher's elegant words, I am so lucky to meet you, Third Aunt! I will never be able to repay your kindness even if I work like a cow or a horse in my next life!" This time, Third Aunt was so moved that she couldn't control her tears again.

"Third Auntie, let's not talk about this, as long as everyone lives a good life."

Everyone was very satisfied with the house Lin Xijin had chosen and was grateful for her kindness. Finally, the clan leader and the head of the village decided to choose a date to move in, and the two elderly couples decided to stay in Kyoto to accompany the exam.

It was easy to make a living by tidying up the house and planting flowers and vegetables. Xingwen and Banxia could also move back home.

Uncle Mu Xiong and his family planned to move in again in August. So Aunt San naturally stayed in the Princess's Mansion.
