In March, the second prince, Xuanyuan Hanqi, returned to the capital and was in the limelight for a while.

The second prince had made great contributions at such a young age. At the age of fifteen, he was already able to carry out his duties, and he did it so well.

Some of the more active officials were secretly calculating. Right now, there were still vacancies for the Crown Princess and the two concubines of the Crown Prince.

The second prince still didn't have a concubine or a concubine …

The second prince officially entered the court and entered the sights of the officials …

When the emperor saw that his second son was starting to be independent, he was very gratified.

His two sons were the pride of his heart … It seemed that the prosperity of the Xuanyuan Empire was not far away …

Not long after, the prefect of Xu Province, Shi Qishan, learned that Lin Jiabao had been promoted to the Vice Prince of the Crown Prince.

"This Lin Jiabao is going to be an amazing person in the future …" Shi Qishan thought to himself.

When Shi Qishan returned to his residence and told his wife, Madam Shi was also very surprised when she heard the news. Lin Jiabao had been promoted to the position of Vice Prince in less than a year …

"It's a pity that the second daughter of the Lin family is already engaged. The remaining Husband's daughter is too young to be engaged," Madam Shi said regretfully.

Otherwise, if they could get married, it would be very helpful for her husband's future.

"Send someone to send a big gift over first …" Shi Qishan said to his wife.

In Pei County City, the county magistrate, Du Xiangheng, also learned of this great news.

He quickly said to his advisor, "Quickly prepare a sedan. I want to personally go and tell the Lin family the good news …"

When the Lin family saw that the county magistrate had come, there was another commotion. When they heard that the county magistrate had told Lin Dazhuang's family that Lin Jiabao had been promoted to the Vice Prince of the Crown Prince, the entire village was in an uproar.

The entire village was bustling with noise and excitement. The villagers all rushed to spread the news. The Lin family village really had a noble person …

Lin Dazhuang's family was also stunned by this good news. Lin Dazhuang asked in disbelief, "Jia Bao is the Vice Prince of the Crown Prince?

Is this true? "

"Old Master Lin, it's all written in the court bulletin. It's absolutely true.

I'm here to tell you the good news … "

"Thank you for coming here personally, County Magistrate. Please come in and have some tea …" Lin Jiawen invited County Magistrate Du into the house.

At this time, many villagers had gathered outside the Lin family's courtyard to watch the show.

County Magistrate Du's advisor happened to run into Registrar Wang today and greeted him politely, "Registrar Wang … your family's in-laws are really amazing …" He then told Registrar Wang about the news that Lin Jiabao had been promoted to Crown Prince and Vice Prince.

After Registrar Wang returned home, he happily announced the good news.

Lin Chun 'er was both happy and jealous. Originally, she thought that Lin Jiabao being the Crown Prince's personal attendant only sounded nice, but in fact, in an ordinary family, he would be equivalent to a concubine.

She didn't expect her younger cousin to be so capable … Fortunately, her family's relationship with her eldest uncle's family had been restored. Now, she could really straighten her back …

Lin Chun 'er was right. Since then, the Wang family's attitude towards her had changed greatly.

Her mother-in-law even bought two new maidservants to serve her. Her mother-in-law increased her living expenses by a lot, and she even voluntarily gave up the right to be the housekeeper.

Even when Lin Chun 'er sold her husband's two concubines, not only did her husband not blame her, he was even more gentle and considerate to her and spoke sweet words to her.

Lin Chun 'er was proud of this for a long time … Pei County and even Xuzhou's prestigious families all knew that Registrar Wang's daughter-in-law was Vice Prince Lin's cousin. Those noble women's families often invited her to participate in flower appreciation parties and poetry parties.

Although she had always been by the side of Zhang Huiniang and Lin Jing 'er, she still enjoyed it.

Lin Chun 'er and her younger sister Lin Xia' er didn't miss any opportunity to show their faces at Xuzhou's upper-class banquets.

Lin Chun 'er felt that this was the life she wanted to live as the wife of an official's family …

Lin Xia 'er saw the beautiful clothes and exquisite food, and swore that she would also live such a life in the future …

The news that Lin Jiabao was promoted to Crown Prince and Vice Prince continued to spread throughout Xuzhou …

Lin Dazhuang's family had become a hot steamed bun in the Lin Family Village.

Nearby and far people came to curry favor with them. The Lin family was about to soar, and everyone in the village wanted to get in touch with them …

Lin Dazhuang's family couldn't stand the harassment. Every day, they had to receive visits from many prestigious families in Xuzhou, and they also had to send away many matchmakers.

Lin Jiacai and Lin Xiu 'er's marriage was already on the minds of many people in the village, and many people even asked matchmakers to send their daughters to the Lin family as concubines …

Lin Jiawen was now the man that all the women in the village wanted to marry the most … Lin Jiawen was originally a burly man with a strong waist and a strong back. Although he was a scholar, he had many sisters and brothers in his family, and his family was not very well-off.

Therefore, the girls in the village didn't like him.

However, not only did Lin Jiawen pass the county examination, but he was also exempted from land taxes, military service, and corvee labor.

His family also had more land, and his younger brother became a noble in the palace.

When the women mentioned Lin Jiawen, they all looked at him with admiration …

A few days ago, Wu Qiaolan's mother was still praising the child's father, saying that he taught his students well, and that he chose a good son-in-law … Wu Qiaolan's mother was worried when she heard the news that Lin Jiawen was taking in concubines, so she hurried over.

Lin Jiawen didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard his mother-in-law's worry. "Mother-in-law, please don't worry. I've never thought of taking in concubines …"

"Yes, Mother-in-law, don't worry … The Lin family will never take in concubines …" Lin Dazhuang also promised the Wu Clan.

These days, there were people who wanted to send two beautiful women to be his concubines. Zhang Huiniang was so angry that he didn't treat him well these days.

Lin Dazhuang also felt wronged. He already had a grandson. Sigh …

Lin Dazhuang and his family once again closed their doors to visitors, but there were still some people who refused to give up. The Lin family had no choice but to secretly buy a small house with three entrances and three exits in town. They temporarily handed the land over to Zhou Hai and his family to look after, and the whole family moved to town.

The Lin family only told a few close family members about their move. After that, they bought some servants and hired a concierge to look after the house. Every day, they got rid of unnecessary people and their days were much quieter.

Lin Jiawen could finally calm down and study …

At the Qin Residence, Lin Jing 'er just came back from the Lin family's new house. The Lin family's house wasn't far from the Qin Residence, so it was convenient for him to walk around.

"Jin 'er, you're back. How are things going with the in-laws?

Is there anything else you need?

Do you have enough servants? "Mrs. Qin asked with concern when she saw her daughter-in-law come back.

The Qin Family had started to cooperate with the Imperial Family, and their business had more than doubled.

They made a lot of money every month, and Qin Kaixing was full of energy every day. They wanted to expand and expand the Qin Family's business …

Mrs. Qin believed that Lin Jing 'er was the Qin Family's lucky star, and she valued her daughter-in-law more and more.

When she heard that the in-laws were coming to town to stay for a while, she was very happy.

"They're all settled. We don't need anything," Lin Jing 'er replied.

"That's good. Then we'll wait for a few days until they're free.

We'll pay them a formal visit. "Mrs. Qin thought that if the two families lived close to each other, they would be able to visit each other more often.

In the blink of an eye, it was October. Lin Jiawen went to Xuzhou to take the provincial examination.

After the results were released, Lin Jiawen's name was first on the list.

Lin Jiawen took first place in the provincial examination and became the top scorer.

The Lin Family immediately set off firecrackers to celebrate, and then held a banquet in the best restaurant in town. They invited their teachers, relatives, and friends. The Xuzhou Prefectural Magistrate, the Pei County Magistrate, and other famous people in Xuzhou either came in person or sent people to deliver congratulatory gifts.

Lin Dazhuang drank until his face was red. In the past year, the Lin Family had undergone earth-shaking changes. His sons had become so successful. It was great …

In the following days, the Lin Family had more social events.

From then on, the Lin Family became a rising family in Xuzhou.

Lin Jiawen didn't become complacent just because he became the top scorer.

Lin Jiawen had already decided not to take the provincial examination next year. He planned to give himself two years to consolidate himself before taking the provincial examination.

Otherwise, with his current ability, it was possible for him to become a Grand Scholar again. However, it was impossible for him to stand out among the top scholars from all over the country.

Now that Lin Jiabao was the Crown Prince and Vice Prince, Lin Jiawen, as the eldest brother of the Jia Bao and the future pillar of the Lin Family, had to work hard and work hard. For the sake of the Jia Bao, for his family, for the sake of the Lin Family, and for himself.

Lin Jiawen felt that he had a great responsibility on his shoulders …

Lin Jiawen told his teacher, who was also his father-in-law, his decision, and received his father-in-law's approval.

Lin Dazhuang's family also supported their eldest son's decision.

Lin Jiabao received a letter from the Lin Family and learned that his eldest brother had become a Grand Scholar. He was also very happy for his eldest brother …

Xuanyuan Hancheng knew about the news in advance and specially went to look at Lin Jiawen's papers. Although he couldn't rule out the influence of Lin Jiabao's status as the Crown Prince and Vice Prince on the examiners, Lin Jiawen's essays were indeed very good and talented.

In his previous life, although Lin Jiawen became a Grand Scholar, his ranking wasn't high.

After Lin Jiabao's death, Lin Jiawen gave up the opportunity to take the provincial examination. He only opened a private school in Pei County to teach. For the rest of his life, he never took the provincial examination again …

Xuanyuan Hancheng thought that in this life, Lin Jiawen had worked hard and would be a useful talent for him in the future …

Lin Jiabao began to write a letter home. Now, Lin Jiabao's handwriting had improved greatly.

Lin Jiabao first greeted everyone in his family, then talked about his daily life in the palace. He said that the Crown Prince and Empress Empress were very good to him and that he was very happy in the palace …

After Lin Jiabao finished writing his letter home, he would show it to Xuanyuan Hancheng. Lin Jiabao felt that it was already a great blessing for him to be able to write letters to his family.

It would be bad if he accidentally mentioned something that shouldn't be mentioned in the letter, so Lin Jiabao would show it to Xuanyuan Hancheng after he finished writing.

Xuanyuan Hancheng smiled as he took Jia Bao's letter home and read it. He didn't actually care if there were any taboos in the letter, but seeing how careful Guai Bao was, he was happy to cooperate.

After quickly reading Guai Bao's letter home, Xuanyuan Hancheng picked up his brush and corrected the wrong words for Jia Bao. That's right … he corrected the wrong words. He didn't do it for nothing. One wrong word was equivalent to a kiss from Guai Bao …

So when Lin Jiawen read Jia Bao's letter home aloud, the corner of his mouth would always twitch unnaturally.

Thanks to his younger brother, Jia Bao, Lin Jiawen could often see the Crown Prince's calligraphy …

Jia Bao's letters often had wrong words. It was obvious that the handwriting wasn't written by Jia Bao.

Who was the person who wrote it? Looking at the sharp and flamboyant handwriting, it was easy to guess that it was written by the Crown Prince …

Lin Jiawen was a little worried. His younger brother wrote letters under the Crown Prince's nose, so naturally, he said that he was doing well. Even if he was wronged, he definitely couldn't mention it …

After correcting the wrong words, Lin Jiabao put the letter home into an envelope and sealed it.

Xuanyuan Hancheng carried Lin Jiabao onto the desk. "How many kisses … um … Guai Bao?"

"Three …" Lin Jiabao answered honestly. Jia Bao took the initiative to wrap his arms around Xuanyuan Hancheng's neck and offer his lips.

Correcting the wrong words and sending kisses was already their little hobby …

Xuanyuan Hancheng was intoxicated by his baby's initiative to kiss him, unable to extricate himself …

It was too sweet … Xuanyuan Hancheng gradually took the initiative and deepened the kiss.

His hands also went up to Jia Bao and stroked him.

"Guai Bao … my baby, I really want to eat you …" Xuanyuan Hancheng already had a reaction, sucking heavily on Jia Bao's little earlobe …

"Um … Jia Bao is willing to give it to my husband …" Lin Jiabao remembered that Empress Empress wanted him to give birth to a child for the Crown Prince, so he mustered up his courage and said to Xuanyuan Hancheng.

Xuanyuan Hancheng took a deep breath and said in Guai Bao's ear, "No … Guai Bao, let's wait a little longer. Baby, take care of your body. When you turn 16 next year, I will definitely love you dearly …"

Xuanyuan Hancheng made up his mind to wait until his baby turned 16 before touching him.

In his previous life, he took Jia Bao when he was 15 years old. Later, when Guai Bao was pregnant, that bitch Xu Shi plotted against him and fell into an icy lake. She lost the child and injured her body so she couldn't get pregnant again … Although Xu Shi was dead in this life, Xuanyuan Hancheng was still afraid that history would repeat itself. He really didn't dare to take any risks with Jia Bao in this life …
