The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

After the group entered the living room and sat down, they invited Lin Zexu and his wife to sit at the head of the table. Li Yu, Zhou Jia, and Li Qing knelt down and kowtowed to the Lin family. After recognizing the Lin family’s uncle and aunt, the Lin family’s couple took out a greeting gift and gave it to the siblings.

When it was Zhou Jia’s turn, Lin Zexu looked at Zhou Jia and nodded in satisfaction. He took out a jade ring and handed it to Zhou Jia.

“Nephew-in-law, thank you for taking care of Ah Qing and his sister.”

“Uncle, you’re treating me like an outsider. This is my duty.” Zhou Jia took the delicate and oily jade ring and realized that it was a warm jade. He handed it back and said, “Uncle, it’s too expensive. Jiahe can’t accept it.”

Lin Zexu said with a fierce expression, “Take it. It’s a gift from an elder.”

Madam Gong also smiled and said, “Nephew-in-law, your uncle gave it to you.

Take it!”

“Thank you, Uncle and Aunt.” Zhou Jia could only thank them and accept it.

After acknowledging their relationship, Lin Zexu pointed at the older man and smiled. “Ah Yu, Jiahe, and the one wearing the black hairpin is your eldest cousin, Lin Lan, from the Hanlin Academy. The one wearing the white jade hairpin is your second Cousin, Lin Yun, who works in the Ministry of Works. The two of them are twins. There’s less than a quarter of an hour between them. The two of them are already engaged and will get married at the end of the year. The one wearing an apricot yellow dress is called Lin Yi. She was engaged at the beginning of the year. The other girl’s called Lin Jia and hasn’t found a suitable family.”

She had been too busy exchanging pleasantries to pay attention just now because she felt that the two brothers were quite similar. Now that he mentioned it, she realized that the Lin brothers were identical. They had the same dignified and gentle appearance. If they wore the same hairpin, she really could not tell.

She had two female cousins. The eldest, Lin Yi, was beautiful, gentle, and pleasant. The youngest, Lin Jia, was pretty and cute.

“Hello, Cousin. Hello, Cousin-in-law and Cousin.” Lin Lan and Lin Yun smiled and cupped their hands.

Li Yu and the others also smiled and greeted the twins.

After Li Yu and the others greeted their two cousins, Lin Yi took a step forward and bowed deeply to Li Qing. “Thank you for saving my life, Cousin.”

Li Qing smiled and cupped his hands in return. “We’re all family. Cousin, you’re too polite. Have you found out why the horse went crazy?”

Lin Zexu sighed and said to Li Qing, “That day, when your cousin came out of her good friend’s house, the horse pulling the carriage was fed mad cow grass by someone. After moving for a while, it began to run wildly and threw the coachman off, breaking his leg. Fortunately, Ah Qing and the others helped. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”

Madam Gong patted Lin Zexu and said with a smile, “Fortunately, it was Ah

Qing. Otherwise, how could we acknowledge each other? They should be happy.

I heard that Ah Yu’s family has a kid. Nephew-in-law’s teacher is also here. Why didn’t I see them?”

Li Yu smiled and said, “Yang’er and his grandmaster went out to play and fell asleep. Sir and Granny Yang from the palace are catching up in the reception hall. I’ll invite him to get to know everyone.”

Lin Zexu waved his hand to stop him. “How can I disturb you from catching up with an old friend? There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”

“Uncle is right.” Li Yu smiled at Lin Zexu and Madam Gong. “Uncle, Aunt’s family will have a simple meal at my house tonight to celebrate the reunion.”

“Alright, we won’t stand on ceremony,” Lin Zexu and Madam Gong agreed readily.

When Yangyang woke up, the two elders and the Lin brothers gave the child a greeting gift. Lin Yi and Lin Jia teased Yangyang.

During the meal, Lin Zexu and Mr. Wen chatted happily. The two families had a reunion meal happily. After the meal, Lin Zexu smiled at Zhou Jia and said, “Jiahe, Ah Qing, Ah Yu, Uncle will invite you to Uncle’s house on an auspicious day in two days to inform your relatives and friends about our families reuniting.”

“Uncle, Aunt, Ah Yu and I are going to the palace to pay our respects to the empress dowager and the emperor in two days. Also, Ah Qing has arranged a marriage with the young lady of Lord Fan ‘s family and invited the official matchmaker to the Fan family to propose marriage.” Zhou Jia and Li Qing stood up and bowed.

Lin Zexu said happily, “It’s a supreme honor to be able to enter the palace to meet the empress dowager and the emperor. It’s a good thing for Ah Qing to marry the lady from the Fan family. We’ll postpone the gathering for two days.”

Madam Gong looked at Li Yu and said hesitantly, “Ah Yu, Ah Qing, Miss Fan is not bad-looking. Her reputation is a little bad. I wonder if you’ve asked around? It’s your first time in the capital and you made a rash decision without understanding it. I’m afraid you’ll go back on your word when you find out.”

Lin Zexu looked at Madam Gong and said, “The descendants of the Fan family have good character. If it’s gossip, don’t mind it. If she really has a bad character, you have to be careful.”

Fortunately, it seemed that Uncle Lin was not the pedantic kind. Li Qing looked at the two of them and smiled. “Uncle, Aunt, Lord Fan has told us the reason for the matter. I don’t care about those rumors and have decided to marry Miss Fan.”

Lin Yi and Lin Jia looked at Li Qing with sparkling eyes. Lin Jia smiled and said,

“Cousin, I support you. Those gossipy women are very annoying.”

“Jia’er.” Madam Gong knocked on him and turned to look at Li Qing. “Ah Qing,

Ah Yu, since you’ve already asked around and don’t care about those rumors,

Aunt will accompany Ah Qing on the day of the marriage proposal.’

“Thank you, Aunt.” The few of them bowed happily to Madam Gong. Mr. Wen looked at the Lin couple in satisfaction. He felt that Li Yu, Zhou Jia, and Li Qing finally had two more elders who were sincere in thinking for them and contributing.

After sending the Lin family off, Mr. Wen took Li Yu’s pulse and said to her, “Xiaoyu, don’t work too hard. Leave the matter to Xiao Xi and the others. Rest for a few more days.”

Li Yu nodded. “Got it, sir.”

Mr. Wen stood up and smiled at Zhou Jia. “Xiao Xi, send me back.”

Zhou Jia helped Mr. Wen towards his room. “Xiao Xi, Xiaoyu is most likely having twins. You have to pay attention to let her rest well. After the diagnosis, I have to think of a way to not let the children grow too big in the next few months but let them grow well.”

Zhou Jia looked at Mr. Wen worriedly. “Sir, will Xiaoyu be fine?”

Mr. Wen thought for a moment. “As long as the children are not big, there won’t be a big problem. The Lin family has a bloodline of twins. The two young masters of Scholar Lin’s family are also twins. Go and ask Scholar Lin how they recuperated back then?”

Zhou Jia recalled that the Lin family’s aunt had given birth to two children and was still fine. He felt a little relieved. “Yes, I’ll go look for Uncle Lin tomorrow.”

Seeing Zhou Jia’s worried expression, Mr. Wen smiled and comforted him. “Don’t be anxious. There’s still time to go after the diagnosis. Just let her rest well these days. You don’t have to worry too much. Sir is here.”

“Yes!” Zhou Jia looked at Mr. Wen and felt that he looked much older. His heart ached as he helped him toward the bathroom. “I’ll help you wash up and rest early.”

Zhou Jia helped Mr. Wen into the bathroom to help him wash up. After he got into bed and rested, he returned to his room. When he returned, he saw that Li Yu was already sleeping soundly. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her for a while before lying down beside her to sleep.

The next day, Zhou Jia woke up early and found Granny Yang. He told her that Li Yu might be pregnant with twins and bowed to her. “Nanny, please help me take care of my wife.”

Granny Yang returned the greeting and said, “Lord Zhou, don’t worry. I will definitely take care of Madam Li..”
