Lin Gongzi medicine jar

That night, the Marquis of Yongning called the famous Chunxi team in the capital to come, and it was lively and bustling beside the waterside pavilion in the backyard.

Lin Xi was not very interested in this kind of babbling and babbling tunes, so she sat for a while and then went back under the pretext of Xiaozhong being inconvenient and lively.

For the next few days, Lin Xi stayed in Lanyue Xuan to paint cats and mice for the little ancestors in Prince Rui's residence.Although I watched a lot in my previous life, it was too long after all, I can't remember many plots clearly, so I can only rack my brains to make up things by myself, but this kind of humor Lin Xi doesn't have that talent, I always feel that original things are too much Boring, painting and changing, and finally reached the thirteenth year of the Lunar New Year.

At this time, the bustling Yongning Hou Mansion gradually became colder, and there were a lot fewer visitors.

After the Lantern Festival, the morning court will open, the yamen will open, the six ministries will be in charge, and the college will start classes. Lin Xi thinks it's about time.

He called Lin Fang and asked him to go to Zizhuxuan to inquire.

Lin Fang moved quickly, and hurried into Lan Yuexuan in a short while, "Young Master, I have inquired with the waiter next to Master Da Biao. Master Da Biao is at the mansion today, and I have never heard that he was invited out. "

Lin Xi nodded, motioned Yuanyuan to bring his cloak, dressed neatly, and went out to Zizhuxuan.

Xiao Yuheng hasn't been idle since the beginning of the new year. Although he is not qualified to entertain those high-ranking officials and elders, but the young outstanding ones among his peers, the colleagues and subjects in the officialdom can deal with them one by one. It took a few days, not to mention that he still had to accompany his wife back to Taishan Mansion to deal with relatives from his wife's family, plus visiting the elders of the master, he has been busy until now.

However, after all, there is no arrangement for today, and he could have a free day, but he doesn't want Lin Xi to come to the house.

Hearing the young servant's report, Xiao Yuheng said to Bai Shi: "This is really strange. Since my cousin came to the mansion, he never likes to rush through the door. Except to go to the grandmother's place to say hello, he just lives in Lanyue Pavilion." , more happy than my sisters."

With the support of the maid, Bai slowly stood up, Xiao Yuheng hurriedly got up and offered a little help, and persuaded: "You are heavy, what are you doing standing up, my cousin is not an outsider, he is the most obedient and sensible."

Bai Shi glanced at her husband, stretched out her trembling stomach, propped up her waist, and said angrily: "This concubine's appearance is not very good-looking."

"Where is it not good-looking, I think it looks the best now, sit down quickly." Xiao Yuheng supported Bai Shi and sat down slowly, "When my cousin comes, if you don't believe me, I'll just ask him. "

Seeing that smug look made Bai's heart sweet, and thinking of letting outsiders know about this kind of flirting, she suddenly felt that her husband was too thick-skinned.

When Lin Xi followed the little girl into the main room, she saw Xiao Yuheng being punched by Mrs. Bai, but the force was not enough to kill a mosquito, and the smile on Xiao Yuheng's face was very doting, and Mrs. Bai was also full of love. The joy of happiness embarrassed Lin Xi who stepped into the door with one foot.

It seems to disturb the love between the young couple.

Seeing Lin Xi, Bai Shi's face turned red immediately, and he raised his eyes to stare at her husband again, while Xiao Yuheng's face was much thicker, his expression remained unchanged, and he took the time to smile at Bai Shi.

Bai Shi choked on his thick skin, and stopped talking immediately.

Only then did Lin Xi greet her: "Xi has met my eldest cousin and sister-in-law, please don't blame me for taking the liberty to visit."

Mrs. Bai had never met Lin Xi formally before, because her body was getting heavier and heavier, and she didn't pay her respects to her mother-in-law and Mrs. Tai every day. In short, every time Lin Xi either stood quietly beside Madam Tai, or couldn't see clearly through the screen.

It was only now that Mrs. Bai had a closer look at Lin Xi's appearance, and she praised her in her heart.

It's not that Lin Xi is so handsome, just looking at his appearance, he's just delicate and fragile, but he just stood there with a slight smile on his face, his eyebrows and eyes curved, like a clear spring, clean and bright , It also made people feel refreshed immediately after flowing through the bottom of my heart.

In a word, it is pleasing to the eye.

Bai turned her head and saw Xiao Yuheng raising her eyebrows at her, as if to say, "How about it, my cousin is not bad."

Lin Xi's character is not clear to Bai Shi, but just seeing it like this, he suddenly liked it, so he nodded with a smile.

Xiao Yuheng smiled and said to Lin Xi: "What kind of wind blows my cousin here today, my small courtyard is full of brilliance, Xi'er, don't stand there, sit down quickly."

Lin Xi didn't talk too much. After Yuanyuan took off her cloak, she took her seat and said, "I've wanted to visit my cousin and sister-in-law for a long time. It's just that during the New Year's Eve, everyone is busy, so I didn't come. Today Seeing that my cousin is free for a while, I took the liberty to come here."

As he spoke, he stood up and kowtowed to Mrs. Bai, "Before I received a present from my cousin, I liked the Xi Xi very much, and I didn't know what to return. In the annual gift from Prince Rui's residence a few days ago, there was a hundred-year-old Shen, thinking that my cousin is about to give birth, so I made some pills to strengthen the foundation and restore the vitality, which can help my cousin recover soon after giving birth, I hope my cousin will not be disgusted."

After speaking, Yuanyuan presented a small porcelain bottle with a narrow neck and round belly.

Upon hearing this, Bai's face immediately showed a surprised smile. At this time, what worries her most is nothing but having a baby.The gift that Lin Xi sent was exactly what she needed, and her love for this cousin increased a bit.

She motioned to the servant girl in green clothes beside her to take the small porcelain bottle immediately, and said with a smile, "My cousin has a heart, and my sister-in-law expresses your affection."

Lin Xi just curled the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Your cousin is polite." She said and looked at Xiao Yuheng.

Mrs. Bai knew it, so she stood up gracefully, and said with a smile: "You brothers must have something to say, so I won't bother you. I remember how many taels of tribute tea the emperor gave me a year ago. I'll go and talk to you." Take a look. It's still early, take your time, and cousin should stay for dinner."

"Thank you, lady." Xiao Yuheng immediately helped Mrs. Bai out of the door, and asked the maid to wait carefully before returning to the house.

"My sister-in-law is virtuous, and my eldest cousin is very lucky." Lin Xi praised sincerely. At a glance, Mrs. Bai knew that she came from a scholarly family and was well-educated.

Xiao Yuheng had a proud expression of "that's how it is", "When Xi'er gets married, I will have such a blessing." Then he suddenly remembered some secret things and was amused, and when Lin Xi looked over suspiciously, Then he coughed lightly and said, "Let's go to the study to talk."

Lin Xi walked into Xiao Yuheng's study room for the first time, and what caught her eyes was the room full of books, calligraphy and paintings.

There are always similarities between literati. The former master Lin also had such a study, and Lin Xi often went there if he was not sick.

After the two of them sat down, a servant brought in a charcoal basin. Lin Xi immediately felt her whole body warmed up, and another servant girl served green tea, and after taking a sip, she immediately felt comfortable physically and mentally.

"Xi'er is looking for me for something?" Although Xiao Yuheng called his cousin "Xi'er" in front of the people, he liked to call him "Xi'er" when he was married. Compared with his brother Xiao Yuqi, he liked his cousin who had only been together for about two months. .

Lin Xi didn't talk too much nonsense, and said straight to the point: "Cousin, I want to take the imperial examination."

After the meal, Lin Xi left Zizhuxuan with a stack of books presented by Xiao Yuheng. Naturally, those books were the key books for the exam.Although he can only take the township examination when he has to pass the filial piety, the three-year preparation time for the exam is not long at all, and it seems that he has a solid foundation earlier.

After Lin Xi left, Bai saw that her husband's expression was not quite right, so she asked, "What did my cousin tell you? His expression is so weird."

"He said he would take the imperial examination."

Upon hearing this, Bai wondered, "Isn't this a good thing?"

Xiao Yuheng said, "It's really not a bad thing."

"Then why did you..."

"As a husband, I just sigh. There is no one in the Yongning Hou Mansion who walked the same path as me, but I don't want my cousin who came halfway, but he has great ambitions in his heart. He is worthy of being the son of Tanhua Lang."

Bai's heart was relieved when he heard the words, "Why not, isn't the second brother in the Imperial College?"

"How can he be serious about studying like that?" Xiao Yuqi's admission to the Imperial College was not a place in the Hou's Mansion, and he was not admitted seriously.

Mrs. Bai smiled, and did not comment on the concubine's uncle, "From now on, you can just teach your cousin a lot, but what troubles do you have?"

Xiao Yuheng frowned when he said this, and Bai Shi immediately pushed back the servant girl.

"Father mentioned before that he would betroth his second younger sister to Xi'er, and they would get married when they were filial piety. However, Xi'er's status was embarrassing and she didn't have an official title, so he discussed with me to donate an official. But if Xi'er is determined to take the imperial examination, she might be out of office when she has a good reputation. It will take several years to learn filial piety..."

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Bai have also vaguely mentioned this matter, so she also has a bottom line in her heart, but she just heard her husband say, "Could it be already agreed?"

"No, my father just mentioned it to me. After all, the second sister is born of Aunt Mei, so I need to inform her."

After hearing this, Mrs. Bai stopped talking.

For Aunt Mei, what she heard the most was from Mrs. Liu, and every time she either gritted her teeth or sneered in disdain.Just by looking at the figure of the second lady, Xiao Jinlan, you can know Aunt Mei's beauty. Under such a domineering Liu family, she can still give birth to a son and a daughter, and raise them up. It shows how much this woman is favored. If it weren't for the prominent Liu family, Xiao Yuheng would be promising I'm afraid it's going to be the opposite.

In fact, Mrs. Bai was not optimistic about this marriage. Although she didn't like Aunt Mei and had no position to like her, as a mother, she would not agree.Even if the dignified lady of the Hou's mansion is a concubine, she has a good future. It is more than enough to be a dignified official wife, or to choose a humble scholar.

However, Marquis Yongning has no rules. Even if this marriage is not the right one, Mrs. Tai is in charge. Marquis Yongning and Mrs. Hou nodded. Just prepare yourself.

It's just that she can't talk about her father-in-law's affairs, so she can only say: "Father and mother can always think of a way. If my cousin wants to make progress, should we stop him?"

Xiao Yuheng nodded, "When spring begins, I will find a teacher for Xi'er."

Mrs. Bai thought for a while and said: "My grandfather has many students who are well-educated in poetry and books to teach in the Baijia Academy, and there are also classmates of my father. After a few days, I will find an opportunity to talk to my father. If my cousin doesn't dislike it, You might as well go to the Bai Family Academy."

Xiao Yuheng's eyes lit up immediately, and he held Bai's hand and said, "There's no one to dislike it. It would be great if my father-in-law agrees, but I have to work you out again." He paused, put away the smile on his face, Looking up and down at Bai's big belly, he shook his head again, "No, let's wait until the confinement is over after giving birth. Nothing is as important as you."

The prestige of the old scholars in Baige is extremely high, and the Bai family's family is also extremely noble. Not to mention many Jinshi, there are several champions. The school is full of reading habits, and the professors in the Bai's academy are also today's great Confucians. prestigious.

It would be great if Lin Xi could study in Bai's Academy.I think if he hadn't been engaged to the Bai family back then, Master Bai had taken a fancy to this son-in-law and often pointed him out, and the elders of the Bai Pavilion beat him from time to time, so Xiao Yuheng successfully passed the high school as a Jinshi and entered the Imperial Academy.

Xiao Yuheng is extremely grateful that his wife can think about her husband's family in this way.

Bai replied with a smile: "I understand."
