All the members are good people, only the host is a pervert

Chapter 146: Female Dominant Prodigal Son 29

There are no other members in the Lin family. Looking at Lin Ruan's name, you can tell that they don't follow the family tree, so Lin Ruan only chose names from "Chu Ci" to name his daughters. The eldest daughter is Lin Wangshu, who is 9 years old this year; the second daughter is Lin Feifei, who is 6 years old this year; and the youngest daughter is Lin Yajun, who is 3 years old this year.

This is the first time that Lin Ruan has had a child in so many worlds. You know what, you really have to say, a society where women are superior is really suitable for adopting a child for fun.

Lin Ruan didn't have to take care of the children's daily needs, as Chi Wenning and the servants took care of everything. She also didn't have to teach the children how to read and write, as that was the teacher's job. All she had to do was pick a free moment when she was in a good mood and call the children over to listen to them recite, under the pretext of checking their homework.

If the child did something that did not satisfy her, she would call the child's father over to talk to him, and someone would educate the child on her behalf.

The system said: "If you, the host, really like the world of female supremacy, then work hard. As long as you travel through ten worlds, you will be able to accept a series of tasks, including the female supremacy series~"

"Seventeen, did you hear any sound?" Lin Ruan asked.

"What's that sound?" The system didn't understand.

Lin Ruan said: "It's the sound of choking on the cake you drew."

system:. . . . . .

Okay, okay, the pie that the emperor drew for you you said was a wife pie, but the pie I’m telling you is a pie that can choke you to death.

Are you such a hypocrite, Lin Ruan?

(*??????)

The next day, she sent an invitation to Jiang Wenhui, inviting her to her house for a chat.

Nine years passed, Lu Zhao was still serving outside the capital, Zhang Yuanyuan and Chu Wenlian had also left the capital, and the only one in the capital with her was Jiang Wenhui.

Jiang Wenhui received the invitation and came in the afternoon. When she saw Lin Ruan, she smiled and said, "You are finally back. If you had come back a year later, you wouldn't have been able to see me either."

Lin Ruan prepared tea and snacks, and sat in the chair without getting up. He just tilted his head and smiled: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Wenhui sat down and looked at her carefully before saying, "I've received a transfer order to become the Deputy Magistrate of Liaozhong Prefecture. I'll be leaving Beijing soon."

The northeastern border of Fengwu State is divided into three prefectures: Liaobei, Liaozhong, and Liaonan. There aren't many battles on the border these days, so Lin Ruan didn't say anything about keeping safe. He simply picked up a cup of tea and offered a toast, saying, "I wish you good luck in your career."

Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Jiang Wenhui, Lu Zhao, and Lin Ruan kept in touch through letters, their affection for each other undiminished. Seeing Lin Ruan offer her tea, Jiang Wenhui also raised her cup, drank it in one gulp, and said aloud, "I wish you and me all great success in our official careers."

Lin Ruan would go to the Zhanshi Mansion to sign in every day and then go to the Hanlin Academy. In fact, the Zhanshi Mansion could be said to be the quietest government office in the entire capital. The emperor was only in his early fifties this year, the eldest princess was fourteen, the second princess was eight, and the third princess was two. They had not yet reached the age of marriage, and no work would be assigned to the officials of the Zhanshi Mansion. Lin Ruan's main job was still in the Hanlin Academy.

Lin Ruan had never imagined that after six years of hard work writing two history books, she would leave the Hanlin Academy and return nine years later. Fortunately, she had now reached the top of the Hanlin Academy, with only the Dean and the Imperial Tutor above her, otherwise she would be depressed to death.

Previously, Lin Ruan had only a small desk in the small hall of the Hanlin Academy's History Museum. After becoming a lecturer, she also had her own independent office, which instantly gave her the feeling of being a leader at work. Although it was separated and the room was not large, after all, it was a sense of difference. Otherwise, she would have thought she was back to her days of slacking off at the Hanlin Academy.

System: You know you are just slacking off!

Compared to that time, Lin Ruan is now very free.

Sunlight filtered through the carved wooden windows, casting dappled shadows across Lin Ruan's office. She sat at her desk, her face a picture of meticulously crafted brushwork, delicate features and skin as white as jade. Her lustrous black hair was simply tied up, a few strands cascading softly by her ears, adding a touch of friendliness and agility.

At this moment, a young Hanlin scholar walked into the room respectfully, holding a stack of documents in his hands. He said respectfully, "Master, this is the article I wrote today. I beg you to review it."

Lin Ruan nodded slightly, indicating that she could put the document down. Then, she slowly stretched out her slender fingers and took the document. She read slowly, her brows occasionally furrowed, then quickly relaxed.

After a moment, Lin Ruan raised his head and said softly, "Well written. Three of them are acceptable, but the fourth one needs further consideration."

Then, Lin Ruan picked up the brush and wrote comments in the blank space of the article. She wrote: "Those that are not listed in the responsibilities of various departments will be added", indicating that she advocated moderate innovation on the basis of the existing system, and that she should both follow tradition and keep pace with the times.

After completing the annotations, Lin Ruan looked up at the young official, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and gave him a gentle and encouraging smile: "When you go back, make revisions based on my opinions. Bring it back after you finish the revisions."

Whenever such a situation occurs, the system will always add without tact, "A beast in human clothing, putting on airs."

Why?

After Lin Ruan sorted out his space, he discovered that it was overflowing with stuff—so much that it could feed the entire Earth for hundreds of years at the end of the world. In particular, the space buttons for rice, grains, and vegetables had all been used up. Furthermore, the space buttons were used to hold Qiankun bags, which were then used to hold things.

It’s all because the system is too active in farming!

Therefore, Lin Run simply let the system grow only precious medicinal herbs and elixirs from the world of immortal cultivation, and the points promised to the system were reduced by four-fifths at once. After all, these things did not need to be collected every day.

The system was suddenly out of extra income and became angry and irritated, no matter what Lin Ruan did, he would criticize her. Lin Ruan didn't care, just treated it as a poor dog barking in his mind.

The Hanlin Academy was naturally plagued by infighting, both overt and covert. Wherever there was power, there was a war. In her small Lin Mansion, three servants were fighting for the right to manage the household and for their own daughters. Lin Ruan ignored the situation, focusing solely on the evidence before her eyes. She couldn't resist the System, a troublemaker who demanded a clear explanation of the cause and effect of every incident.

But human nature is hard to explain. As long as it doesn't cause any major trouble and doesn't affect her reputation and career, she'll just ignore it. After all, whose methods can be considered clean? If you're just not as skilled as others, you should accept the consequences.

This is how she views the inner chambers of the Lin Mansion, and this is how the emperor views the harem and the previous dynasty. In the final analysis, it is just a little trick to attract my attention.

Tsk.

Lin Ruan rarely participated in these fights, unless they involved her. If she wanted to make a contribution, there were many ways to do it, and there was no need to tarnish her reputation in the eyes of the emperor.

In this life, she wanted fame more than power. Perhaps for civil servants, fame represented power.

Although she was still the Junior Secretary of the Imperial Household, her rank in the Hanlin Academy had risen half a level, becoming a Fourth-Rank Imperial Tutor. Because the three textbooks and workbooks Lin Ruan had compiled for students, scholars, and juren had spread throughout the academies of Fengwu State, she naturally received credit for educating them.

The emperor was so delighted that he specially called her over, clapping his hands and saying with a smile: "Lin Qing, Lin Qing, how many surprises do you have that I don't know about?"

Hearing this, Lin Ruan almost laughed out loud, thinking: That's too much.

As the Junior Secretary, Lin Ruan would reshuffle the duty rosters of the Left and Right Spring Offices every few days. Since the Emperor hadn't yet appointed a crown prince, Lin Ruan wouldn't have had to teach the other princesses. However, Lin Ruan held the title of Imperial Tutor, so the Emperor assigned him to teach the eldest princess.

Many ministers secretly speculated about the emperor's intentions. Could it be that he intended to make the eldest princess the crown prince? Every time he saw his ministers trying so hard to gain personal advantage, the emperor was so angry that he wanted to laugh.

Lin Ruan was the only one present that day. After reporting back to the eldest princess on her work, the emperor asked, "What do you think of the opposition to the crown prince, Mr. Lin?"

Lin Ruan didn't answer directly. After pondering for a few seconds, he slowly said, "Your Majesty, I have three daughters. The eldest is now eleven years old, the second is eight, and the third is five. They are all relatively young. Logically speaking, I am only in my forties this year, far from being old enough to choose the next head of the family. However, whether it is my father, my husband, or the housekeeper and servants, they all seem anxious and advise me to make a decision soon."

The emperor sat up slightly straighter and said with a smile, "Oh? How did Lin Qing do it?"

Lin Ruan smiled and said, "After all, the Lin Mansion is my home. Deciding on an heir is just a family matter for me, so how could I let anyone influence me? Your Majesty, you know that I have come all the way from Qingshan Village and have earned this fortune over so many years. It is not easy. I still feel young, and my children are still young and have not yet established themselves. I don't expect my children to surpass me, but I also don't want them to ruin our family fortune early in the future."

The emperor said thoughtfully, "So Mr. Lin wants to wait and see for a few more years?"

Lin Ruan bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise. This is what I think. Moreover, I believe that before marriage, one will always be an unstable child, cultivating oneself, managing the family, governing the country and pacifying the world. However, I can wait for a few years or even decades. When the time comes, I hope Your Majesty will do me the favor of granting me marriage and giving me the honor."

The emperor smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, there are many ministers in the court who are good at speaking, but your words are the most to my liking. Okay, when the time comes, whichever young man your three daughters take a fancy to, I will issue an imperial decree to grant them a marriage."

Lin Ruan was delighted and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
