Lin Qing picked up an amnesiac scholar as a long-term worker, providing him with food and clothing, letting him teach, keep accounts, and take care of the children. The scholar worked hard and never complained, and he always used royalties to buy her flowers. Everyone in the village said she had found a treasure. Until the county magistrate accompanied a high-ranking official in brocade clothes to the edge of the field and knelt down in front of the scholar who was bending over to plant rice. The scholar straightened up, wiped his hands, pulled the frightened Lin Qing to his side, and said calmly to the high official: "This is my wife. I am living here, thanks to her for taking her in." Later, in the Jinluan Palace, the new emperor wanted to marry the young chief minister to the princess. Shen Yan refused in court and took out the household registration document: "I already have a wife, her surname is Lin, and her name is Qing. I got married when I was in my later years. I will live up to my expectations in this life."
