"Father, grandmother, your daughter has something to say, but I don't know if I should say it.”
Matriarch Lin's eyes lit up. She looked at her granddaughter and patted her hand."If you have something to say, say it in your own home.”
"I'm at my maternal grandfather's house in Jinling, and I've heard the elders say that raising trees is very particular."”
When Lin Qingxue heard this, she despised the fact that he was from a merchant family.
"This small tree needs to be trimmed at a very young age. If it is not trimmed, it will become crooked or even die. Only a well-trimmed tree will grow straight and finally become a towering tree.”
Madam Xie was a little impatient." You've been talking for so long. It's all about trees. Now is not the time to listen to your stories."”
Old Madam Lin looked at Madam Xie and smiled lightly,""Since Qinghan said it, let her finish!”
Although Madam Xie was dissatisfied, this Old Furen was still her mother-in-law. She could not disobey her mother-in-law in front of Old Master Lin.
Hence, he faked a smile and said unwillingly,""Mother is right. Then hurry up and finish what you have to say!”
Lin Qinghan continued," Father, Mother, managing a person is the same as a tree. Father, you think that a tree can grow crooked no matter what, let alone a person with a heart and a mind.
If they were left alone for a long time, they would grow more and more crooked like the big tree. If they did not manage it, it would be too late for regret if the entire family was implicated.”
When Old Master Lin heard that, he immediately understood something.
Seeing Old Master Lin's expression change, Lin Qinghan immediately added,"Father's darling is not to drown me, but to teach me.”
When Old Master Lin heard this, he frowned."What is a drowned child? What is a taught child?"
"This Drowned Child unconditionally obeys and agrees, spoiling them to do whatever they want. It seems like he dotes on them, but in fact, he is harming them.
This was to teach children to punish small matters when they encountered problems, but to teach them to be loved and cherished when they were punished for major matters.”
"Pa, pa, pa…"
As soon as he finished speaking, applause sounded outside the house.
The crowd, who had been silent because of this, was instantly attracted by the applause and looked out at the same time.
A middle-aged man's warm voice came from outside the house.
"Good, what a good love, love, cherish, and teach. Brother Lin is really lucky to have a daughter like this!”
Upon hearing this voice, Old Master Lin immediately went out to welcome him with a smile on his face.
"So it's the Crown Prince's Grand Preceptor who has come to my humble abode. Sorry for not welcoming you, sorry for not welcoming you!”
When Madam Xie and Lin Qingxue heard this, they quickly tidied up their clothes and went out to welcome them with a smile.
Old Madam Lin held Lin Qinghan's hand and whispered,"This is the Crown Prince's Grand Preceptor, the Eldest Princess 'husband, and the father of Young Master Ziqiu.”
Of course, Lin Qinghan knew. He had seen such a situation in his previous life.
At this time in her previous life, her second brother's leg was injured by Jiang Ziqiu and Grand Preceptor Jiang came to apologize. Lin Qingxue put on a good show in front of the Grand Preceptor.
Afterwards, the Grand Preceptor praised Lin Qingxue for loving her brother and pleading for him.
And because she kept complaining about Second Brother, she was very disliked by Grand Preceptor Jiang.
Putting down his thoughts, he welcomed Grand Preceptor Jiang with his grandmother.
However, what surprised Lin Qinghan was that Jiang Ziqiu was standing beside Grand Preceptor Jiang.
"Old Master Lin, I'm really sorry that my son was insensible and almost made a big mistake. I'm here today to apologize.”
Old Master Lin quickly waved his hand." It's fine if this child is making a scene. Why did Grand Preceptor Jiang come personally?"”
After saying that, Grandpa Lin looked at the butler with an unhappy expression."Why didn't Grand Preceptor Jiang report his arrival first?”
The butler quickly apologized,"Master, this is my fault. Please punish me."”
Lin Qinghan stood to the side and sneered in his heart. It was intentional.
Madam Xie had long guessed that Grand Preceptor Jiang would come to apologize, which was why the mother and daughter had deliberately put on this emotional show for Grand Preceptor Jiang to see.
"If it weren't for the butler's negligence, I wouldn't be able to see the good upbringing of the Lin family's daughter today!”
Hearing Grand Preceptor Jiang's praise, Old Master Lin felt very proud.
This Grand Preceptor Jiang was very knowledgeable. He was able to become the Crown Prince's Grand Preceptor because of his true talent and knowledge. The Emperor valued him very much.
"Grand Preceptor praises me too much. My daughter grew up in her maternal grandfather's house and doesn't know etiquette.”Old Master Lin said humbly.
"You mean, the one who used the tree as a comparison and said the principle of educating her son was your Fifth Miss?"”
"Yes, my daughter, Lin Qinghan." Grandpa Lin nodded with a smile.”
After saying that, he waved at Lin Qinghan, who was a little further away,"Qinghan, come and greet Grand Preceptor Jiang.”
Lin Qinghan's appearance was so ordinary that it was easy to ignore him. Compared to the beautiful Lin Qingxue, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
However, the moment Lin Qinghan stepped forward, Zhou Shen's temperament became calm and reserved.
Grand Preceptor Jiang could tell at a glance that Lin Qinghan was different. A deep aura that some people couldn't settle down even after living their entire lives was revealed on Lin Qinghan.
"You are your family's Fifth Miss, Lin Qinghan?”Preceptor Jiang's eyes were filled with admiration.
This time, no matter how good the Xie family and Lin Qingxue's expressions were, they would have some cracks.
Lin Qingxue was still young and couldn't keep her cool. Without waiting for Lin Qinghan to speak, she stood in front of Lin Qinghan and blocked him.
Then, she smiled tactfully and bowed like a young lady from a wealthy family. Then, she pulled Grand Preceptor Jiang and acted coquettishly."Grand Preceptor Uncle, my daughter and mother brought little sister Qinghan back from her maternal grandfather's house in Jinling.”
Lin Qinghan sneered in his heart. This Lin Qingxue pretending to be a lively little girl was ridiculous and rude in front of outsiders.
As expected, Grand Preceptor Jiang didn't react in time and looked at Old Master Lin awkwardly.""Old Master Lin's Fourth Miss is quite lively.”
Even a fool could tell that this was a perfunctory statement after the awkwardness.
Lin Qingxue immediately put on an innocent and lively look and said coquettishly,"Father, look, even Grand Preceptor Jiang is praising your daughter.”
For the first time, Old Master Lin felt that his daughter, Lin Qingxue, looked so awkward.
His face was a little ugly, and he could only laugh."This child has been spoiled by me since he was young.”
Grand Preceptor Jiang didn't look at Lin Qingxue again, instead looking at Lin Qinghan,"I heard from your father that you grew up in a business family. How did you know these principles?”
Only then did Lin Qinghan step forward and bow, neither servile nor overbearing.
"Grand Preceptor, although Qinghan grew up in the ancestral home, her father took care of her from afar.”
Old Master Lin was also slightly stunned when he heard this. He had never invited a teacher for Lin Qinghan, and he had not even cared about his daughter for more than ten years.
Now that her daughter could say that, she was just flattering herself. She immediately felt guilty and happy.
The more Grand Preceptor Jiang thought of Lin Qinghan, the more he felt that she was a good girl. Her every word, action, and smile carried the demeanor of a great person, and she was not the slightest bit inferior to the princess in the palace.
Lin Qinghan knew very well that in order to marry the Crown Prince, she had gone through a lot of hardship to learn etiquette and upbringing. As long as she could gain the Crown Prince's favor, she would do her best to learn.
"Master Lin, your daughter from Jinling is really good. You're lucky.”
