In the book, she became the daughter of a vicious villain who died early

Her ears only heard two pieces of news.

One is that her third son is fine, and the other is that her third son has been promoted.

"What? San'er got promoted."

Mrs. Lin, who realized what was happening later, screamed in surprise. She stood up excitedly and walked towards the old house in a flash.

In the old house, Mr. Lin was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed and resting.

When I heard the sound of the door opening, I opened my eyes and saw my wife coming towards me aggressively, and I couldn't help but feel nervous.

The old lady kept talking about going traveling, and after finally waiting for the departure time, she was told that the trip was cancelled.

Looking at her current state, I guess she really can't go, otherwise she wouldn't be like this now.

"What are you sitting here for? Get up!"

When passing by Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin kicked Mr. Lin on the calf.

Mr. Lin felt pain but dared not say anything.

The old woman was angry, and he was afraid of being kicked again if he spoke out.

"Still lying there, still lying there, hurry up and get ready! Really......"

Even though he didn't say anything, Mr. Lin was hit again.

"What do you want me to prepare? Haven't you prepared your luggage?"

Mr. Lin asked as he stood up.

"Why are you taking care of the luggage now? Your son has been promoted, you have to prepare incense and candles to worship the ancestors, and you are still taking your time..."

When Mr. Lin, who was still slacking off, heard this, he ran into the house in a flash.

After a while he came out again: "There is nothing left at home for offerings, I will go out and buy some now!"

"Buy some pork and fish by the way!" Old Mrs. Lin shouted at his back.

Pigs, chickens, and fish are essential items for ancestor worship. Chickens are raised at home, but pigs and fish are not.

Mr. Lin was originally going to run out of the village, but halfway through he slapped his head and forgot about his eldest son's ox cart.

The villagers saw him running out of the village and then turning back in a hurry, and couldn't help but ask him loudly what had happened.

"My third son got a promotion! I'm going to buy offerings to worship our ancestors!"

After dropping a "bomb", Mr. Lin disappeared from the villagers' sight.

The villagers were stunned by the news and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.

"Hurry, hurry, tell the clan leader."

He is the village chief on weekdays, but becomes the clan leader at critical moments.

The villagers with the other three surnames in the village looked at the backs of the villagers with the surname Lin as they walked away. Even though they could no longer see their figures, they could still hear their excited shouts.

"Mr. Lin has made great achievements......"

They have used the word "envy" so much that it is overused!

When will such a great figure emerge in their tribe?

.......

The village chief's reaction was even more exaggerated than that of the two elders of the Lin family.

People who don’t know might think that the village chief’s son got promoted.

He drove an ox cart to the county town and bought a cart full of tribute, which made Old Man Lin look particularly stingy.

Lin Anru was not at home, and neither was his son Lin Boyu.

This time, the ancestor worship was done by Grandpa Lin. The scene was a little worse than when Lin Anru was in high school, but it was still very lively.

Visitors living in the village, those who came to see the doctor, were originally respectful to Lin Shiyu. Now that they knew her father had been promoted, they almost treated her like an ancestor when they were with her.

The doctor-patient relationship is extremely harmonious.

After the sacrifice, everyone realized what official position Lin Anru had been promoted to.

"He's the Tongpan, a fifth-rank official." Liu explained with a smile.

He was a magistrate of the sixth rank before, and now he is the fifth rank. It's a jump of two levels in one go.

The people in the village don't understand the official positions.

In their previous understanding, yamen runners were all high-ranking officials, and they didn’t know much about those above them.

Anyway, they don't come to ask for understanding, they just want to ask.

"How did you get promoted suddenly? And twice in a row?" the village chief asked in confusion, and added randomly: "Of course, I'm not saying that promotion is bad!"

He knew more than the villagers. He knew that officials had to avoid their hometowns when taking office, that their term was three years, and that they would take a small test every year and a big test every three years. Their promotions and appointments were determined based on their test results.

Lin Anru had only been in office for more than two years, less than three years, and he was afraid that there was something fishy going on.

Knowing what the village chief wanted to ask, Liu organized her words and told him:

"The person above An Ru was promoted. Since the court couldn't find anyone to replace him, they chose one from among the county magistrates there. An Ru was chosen."

"So that's it!" The village chief was relieved.

Being selected among so many county magistrates, An Ru must have been not just lucky. His political achievements must also be good.

After the village chief left, Liu took out the letter written by Lin Anru and rubbed it for a long time.

This time, his promotion was indeed the one that got promoted by his superior.

But the reason why the person above was promoted was because the prefect on their side died.

The person who killed the prefect was none other than the Sixth Prince who had lived in the village for some time.

After the natural disaster, the imperial court punished a large number of officials.

It was precisely because too many officials were dealt with, resulting in a shortage of personnel within the court, so the number of people admitted in Lin Anru's exam was exceptionally large.

And there are almost no idle jobs after admission.

I thought that after the great uproar in the court, things would calm down for a while.

Who would have thought that the Sixth Prince would take the sword bestowed by the Emperor, tour around the country, and kill many officials.

The prefect on Lin Anru's side was one of those killed.

Lin Anru did not state these things in the letter, but in the hidden letter within the letter.

Because he went to the capital with the Sixth Prince for the imperial examination.

In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Anru belongs to the Sixth Prince's faction. In the eyes of Liu, the same is true.

Thinking of the Sixth Prince's temper of killing people at will, Liu couldn't help but worry about her husband's life.

He was afraid that he would suddenly anger the Sixth Prince and get him killed.

He was also afraid of revenge from the family of the person killed by the Sixth Prince.

"Since Mom is worried, let's go to Dad!" Lin Shiyu suggested.

It's a long way away, there's no point in thinking so much, it will only cause you trouble.

Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you feel at ease. No matter how much outsiders advise you, it will be of no use.

It would be better to let her go to Lin Anru.

"Your father hasn't sent a letter yet, and I don't even know where he lives. How can I go there now?"

Lin Anru sent a letter back, firstly to tell his family that he had been promoted, and secondly to tell Mrs. Liu that he was going to move to a new place.

Wait until he is settled, then let Liu and the others come over.

"Then wait another two or three months, just in time for my brother to come back, and then we can go together."

She just happened to have some unfinished business.

"What are you talking about? Your brother is taking an exam. You can't say such unlucky words. If he finds out and doesn't do well in the exam, he might blame you for the failure."
