Lin Ze didn't expect that when he became a Tanhua, the first one to congratulate him was the Jia family.Looking at Jia Lian who was sitting in the flower hall with a smile on his face, Lin Ze sighed slightly in his heart.Then Jia Lian said with a smile, "Cousin Lin is overjoyed. Why are you still sighing?"
Lin Zexin said: I'm afraid your daughter-in-law is going to do something bad again!
Thinking that Sister Feng collected 3000 taels of silver in the steamed bun nunnery and did a wicked thing without making a sound, Lin Ze felt a little apprehensive.Although he doesn't believe in any kind of private retribution, it's because he is a good boy who adheres to the scientific outlook on development.But why did Sister Feng have such awareness?It's just that she is bullying others with her wealth.
Lin Ze stroked his chin and said with a smile, "What kind of joy is this? It's because Lian's second cousin praised me."
Jia Lian also smiled, took a sip of the tea in hand, saw Lin Ze smiling at him, and asked with a smile, "Why isn't Uncle Lin here today?"
Lin Ze said: "Master went to the palace early in the morning, and he told me that there is no need to save dinner at night." Then, he looked at Jia Lian with concern again and said, "Second Cousin Lian, how did I hear that your house One of his nephew and daughter-in-law has gone?"
Jia Lian also sighed and said, "It's Dongfu Rong's daughter-in-law who has gone." As he spoke, he couldn't help thinking of Qin Keqing's character. Thinking of him being harmonious and intimate, those of the next generation thinking of him being kind, and the servants at home thinking of him being kind to the poor and the humble, loving the old and loving the young, all of them weep bitterly.Then his face became sad, and he just sighed and said: "The daughter-in-law Rong looked the best in the past, and she pity the poor and the old family to praise her. This time, it's really surprising."
Lin Ze's eyes darkened, but he asked calmly, "Is the lady in the palace okay?"
Jia Lian was slightly surprised when he heard the words. What he knew best was that Lin Ze was very reluctant to bring up the matter of the second room.Let alone Yuan Chun in the palace, I have never heard him ask before.It can be seen that Lin Ze asked sincerely, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart, and only smiled: "My lady is all right in the palace, and the first one was rewarded by the old sage. The emperor also gave the second master some rewards."
Lin Ze frowned, sure enough?
Speaking of Qin Keqing, later generations have different evaluations.It is also said that she is the princess of the former dynasty, some say that she is the orphan of the old prince, and some say that she is the incarnation of the fairy girl Jing Huan.Lin Ze also thought about it for a long time, but he still prefers Qin Keqing's death, which has a great connection with Jia Yuanchun's promotion in the palace.
Seeing Lin Ze's pensive and silent look, Jia Lian couldn't help hesitating when he thought of what the old lady had said to him when he came.It stands to reason that when Cousin Lin lived in Jia's mansion, he had never seen anyone so polite to him.Now as soon as he was awarded Tanhua, the family came here so excitedly to invite him to the house. Speaking of it, it was a bit awkward.
As soon as Lin Ze looked up, he saw Jia Lian's tangled face and slightly raised brows.He could probably guess why Jia Lian came here today.Fortunately, Lin Ruhai is not here today, otherwise we would have to go to Jia's mansion together as guests.The clever Lin Ze had already guessed from Jia Lian's expression that when Jia Lian came here, he was afraid that there would be an explanation from Jia's mother.
Sure enough, Jia Lian hesitated for a while before saying, "Cousin Lin, even though you are busy now, I can't say that. But you see, you have been away from our house for more than a year. The old lady came to invite you several times, and you have something to delay and can't go. Tomorrow is the second master's birthday, if Cousin Lin is free, why not go to our house for a walk, and make the old lady happy? "
Lin Ze sneered inwardly: Make Mother Jia happy?I'm afraid it's to reassure Mother Jia.Jia Yuanchun became the old sage's concubine in the palace. The whole Jia family was just happy about this matter, but Jia's mother was the most vicious. How could they not see that the old sage and Jia Yuanchun were a difficult couple? go far.
Now he won Tanhua and entered the Hanlin Academy as a Shuji scholar.That is also the most noble official, although the rank is a little lower, but the rare thing is that he is close to the emperor!Who doesn't know that there is a saying, "Non-jinshi will not enter the Imperial Academy, and non-Imperial Scholars will not enter the cabinet." Because of this, it is said that Shujishi is called "Princess Minister", and those who can become Shujishi have a chance to make it to the top.After all, the most important thing is to show your face in front of the emperor often for high officials and small ones!
Jia's mother played a good hand, knowing that Lin Ze won Tanhua and was hand-picked into the Hanlin Academy today, so she was anxious to win him over!After all, it was also for the Jia family's plan.How can Jia Yuanchun win over the old saint in the palace?Relying on appearance or means?In terms of means, who is Concubine Shen, she can play a lot of tricks for Jia Yuanchun without making a fuss.In terms of appearance, Lin Ze chuckled lightly, but he heard that Concubine Shen had sent two beautiful sons from her family to the palace to be maids of honor.
It seems that Mother Jia is in a hurry.
That's right, Jia Yuanchun is a big tree that the Jia family is now working together to embrace.If Jia Yuanchun fell out of favor, then the Jia family would not be able to train another girl like this to enter the palace to fight for favor.After all, the other Sanchun sisters, Yingchun, are weak and gentle, and can't be used much.Tanchun is also the daughter of a concubine, even if she has this ability, Mrs. Wang will never send her to the top.Isn't this just looking for something for yourself!The last one, Xichun, is too young and is from the Ningguo Mansion. No matter what Jiamu does, it is difficult for her to be her master.
After thinking about it, Lin Ze smiled and said, "Since it's the second uncle's birthday, I'll go there with my sister tomorrow."
Jia Lian couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this.I thought Lin Ze would have to shirk it, but I didn't expect Lin Ze to be so talkative.Immediately he smiled and said, "Tomorrow I will personally drive the car to pick up Cousin Lin!"
Lin Ze also smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I will be disrespectful." Then he got up and said, "Second Cousin Lian, I'll see you off." After thinking about it, he reached out and grabbed Jia Lian's sleeve. Seeing Jia Lian looking back, he smiled lightly and said, "Second Cousin Lian, I heard that Second Sister-in-law Lian is now pregnant. I'll let you know tomorrow." Yu'er will bring some medicinal herbs to nourish her health."
Jia Lian was even more delighted when he heard this.Thank you in a hurry, turn around and get in the car to leave.Lin Ze looked at the carriage going away, and finally sighed in his heart, some things might not be as bad as he thought.
In the evening, Lin Ze heard that Daiyu was back, so he went to talk to Daiyu about his son.Daiyu laughed and said, "I see the appearance of Lian's second sister-in-law now, which is really the same as the appearance of my wife when she was pregnant with Lan'er."
Lin Ze smiled and said, "How do you say that? It's alright, why are you talking about your wife again?"
Daiyu smiled and covered the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "You don't know, now Lian's second sister-in-law is pregnant, and she is served by Ping'er every day. They are all put away, and the clothes are neat and simple. Fortunately, I go there every day these days, otherwise I would not be able to recognize it."
Lin Ze wondered, this is Feng Lazi!Such a gentle and watery person is far from the original Sister Feng who was decisive and decisive.
Seeing that Daiyu was also happy for Wang Xifeng, the worry in Lin Ze's heart gradually disappeared.Maybe this kind of Sister Feng will not get involved in the life lawsuit that will kill her in the future.It's just that he was a little worried, he didn't really hate Jia Lian and his wife, at least in Rongguo Mansion, compared with the unruly and poor second room, he still had a good impression of the big room.Of course, this is inseparable from Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian's indirect help to Lin Ze.
"Tomorrow, let's go to Rongguo Mansion together. Mrs. Jia asked Lian's second cousin to pick me up."
Daiyu raised her eyebrows, looked at Lin Ze and said with a smile: "Why do you say you're going now? The old lady sent people here a few times before, but you all said that you couldn't go because of something. The master also said that you should study hard. Go back You are relieved, but I am troubled. When I went there, the old lady and sisters asked me several times before I met Lian's second sister-in-law."
Speaking of this, Daiyu was still angry.The Xue family's Baochai didn't know which one was wrong, and came to inquire about Lin Ze several times.Daiyu was already sensitive, and hearing Xue Baochai keep mentioning Lin Ze, she couldn't help but think of the Xue family's plan for Lin Ze.Thinking that the Xue family and Mrs. Wang are both from the same road, I feel a little unhappy.
It's just that she kept all these words in her heart, and didn't want to add trouble by saying them.
Lin Ze only smiled and said, "You can just say that the old lady asked me. There is no reason for the sisters to ask." Then, Lin Ze stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of Daiyu's hair, and said with a smile: "Morrow Why don't you still visit Lian's second sister-in-law?"
"Why don't you watch it?"
"Now that you've gone to see it, I have something to tell you." As he spoke, he briefly simplified the matter of the Mantou nunnery, except that what Sister Feng did was removed, and only the Mantou nunnery was mentioned.The focus is still on the matter of the guarding son and the daughter of the Zhang family, Brother Jin.
After hearing this, Daiyu was really moved, and she couldn't help reddening her eyes and said: "There is such a loving and caring woman in the world, it's a pity I can't see her. People like her parents have such a daughter who values love and righteousness. It is also the greatest irony."
Lin Ze also smiled and said, "That's right, so even if we can't help them, we can't hurt them, right?" Seeing Daiyu looking up at him, Lin Ze smiled and put his plan in Daiyu's ear Said lightly.At the end, he said: "Good Yu'er, whether this matter will be done or not is up to you tomorrow."
After hearing this, Daiyu frowned slightly and said, "I just don't know, Lian's second sister-in-law..."
Lin Ze hurriedly said, "Perhaps Lian's second sister-in-law has never been involved in this matter? You just have to ask carefully tomorrow."
After speaking, Daiyu also nodded, and the two of them spoke a few more words before Lin Ze went back to his room to rest.Early the next morning, Lin Ze and Daiyu headed to Rongguo Mansion after breakfast.As soon as Lin Zecai went out, he saw Jia Lian sitting on the shaft of the car. As he said yesterday, he drove to pick him up himself.
Seeing Lin Ze come out, Jia Lian greeted him with a smile and said, "Cousin Lin, I'm here to pick you up."
When Lin Ze heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Lao Lian's second cousin came to pick me up in person." After saying that, he stepped on the small stool and got into the carriage. After a while, Jia Lian also got into the carriage.The two chatted and laughed with each other in the car, and arrived at Rongguo Mansion not long after.
When Lin Ze got out of the car, he saw that Daiyu had changed into a sedan chair and went in, so he also smiled at Jia Lian: "Yu'er must be rushing to see Lian's second sister-in-law again. She often said that Lian's second sister-in-law is now tempered." Gentle, very different from the past."
Jia Lian also laughed and said, "No, I'm also surprised, not to mention Cousin Lin." Then they went to see Jia Zheng first.
This day was Jia Zheng's birthday, and the people from both Ningrong and Rong's offices gathered to celebrate, it was very lively.Lin Ze and Jia Lian came in together, and saw Jia Zheng sitting at the main table, and Jia Amnesty sitting beside him.Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, etc. are also listed.Lin Ze saw each other one by one, and then he heard Jia She caressing Xu and said with a smile: "Why is my nephew so polite, he is a blood relative of the whole family." After saying that, he personally wanted to help Lin Ze.
Lin Ze quickly backed away with a smile, and said with a smile: "The eldest uncle is kind, I am here to greet the two uncles. The second uncle is having a good day, but my father can't come because he is unwell, so he asked me to prepare some small gifts. .” As he said, he personally brought a red sandalwood box and presented it.
Jia Amnesty glanced at it with a smile and then looked away, feeling a little amused in his heart.This Lin Ruhai was obviously using excuses to evade, but he gave such an expensive gift, even the second child was speechless.
Sure enough, when Jia Zheng heard that Lin Ruhai was ill and could not come, his face was a little gloomy.It can be seen that Lin Ze held a wooden box made of red sandalwood with a smile, and when he looked at the contents inside, he was overjoyed at the moment.He originally liked reading very much, and he also likes to show that love of reading and learning in front of people.The things that Lin Ruhai sent really fit his wish.
For a while, some congratulatory guests came forward to give gifts and chatted, Lin Ze stepped aside, and only occasionally smiled and whispered a few words with Jia Lian, but it didn't make much sense.Lin Ze couldn't quite understand the babbling of operas on the stage.Occasionally, when he turned around, he saw Jia Amnesty smiling at him.Lin Ze frowned slightly, why didn't he find out that the old man was a smart man before?
At this time, Jia Lian also took the wine glass and touched the wine glass in Lin Ze's hand slightly, and said with a smile: "Cousin Lin, how did you listen to this play?"
Lin Zeyin said with a smile: "What's so interesting about the drama on stage, but it's all sung according to the script. If you want me to say, the drama off the stage is really good." His voice was low Low, with a bit of a smile, a pair of beautiful eyes are already a little pink.
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, but when he came back to his senses, he heard Lin Ze whispering beside him and said: "I'm afraid there is a happy event in the palace today, you have to prepare to tell your master. After all, regardless of Jia Lian's expression, he took another sip of wine.
Today is Jia Zheng's birthday, so Jia Yuanchun should be promoted at this time.Lin Ze took a sip of his wine with a smile, and at the moment of being so flattering, no one can say for sure who is responsible for Jia Yuanchun's promotion.Maybe she was really a reward for her informant, or maybe it was just the old sage's wish to make her a concubine on a whim.But in any case, what Lin Ze knew was that this matter can only be negotiated cheaply if he takes this matter on himself before it is said.
Lin Ze squinted his eyes, watching Jia Lian rushing to whisper something in Jia She's ear in a panic, and seeing their father and son looking at him from time to time, he felt amused.If he was born as a member of Jia's family, he would not hesitate to take such a big credit on his back now!Thinking of this, Lin Ze held up his wine glass and saluted Jia She from afar.
Jia Amnesty seemed to be frightened for a moment, and he was stunned for a while before he realized it.Then his bewildered expression slowly faded away, leaving only firmness.Lin Ze smiled and watched him say a few words to Jia Zheng, and the look of surprise and uncertainty appeared on Jia Zheng's face.
If this is not at the table, if it is not because there are so many people around.Maybe Lin Ze couldn't help standing up and applauding Jia She's acting skills.It's a pity not to be an actor for such a master who is good at acting!
Just as Lin Ze expected, when the house was full of celebrations, a doorman suddenly rushed in and reported to the banquet: "There is an eunuch from Liugongdu, Mr. Xia, who came to issue an order." People don't know what the news is, so they stopped the play, removed the banquet, set up the incense table, opened the middle door and knelt down to receive it.
Early on, I saw Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of Liugongdu, arriving on horseback, followed by many internal eunuchs.That Xia Shouzhong did not bear the imperial edict, dismounted in front of the eaves, smiled all over his face, walked to the hall, stood facing the south, and said in his mouth: "Special decree: Immediately declare Jiazheng to enter the court, and see you in the Linjing Hall." , I didn't have time to drink tea, so I went by horse.
Jia Amnesty had already received Lin Ze's words, and although he was a little surprised, he was much calmer than Jia Zheng and others.Although Jia Zheng also listened to Jia Amnesty's words, but it was so plausible that no one knew if it was true or not.The crowd didn't know what the sign was, so they hurriedly changed their clothes and entered the court.
After a while, Jia's mother and the whole family also received the news. They were all in a state of panic and kept sending people flying horses back and forth to report the news.
After two hours, I suddenly saw Lai Da and other three or four housekeepers panting and running into the Yimen Gate to announce the good news, and said, "by the master's order, please quickly invite the old lady to lead the wife and others to thank you" and other words.
At that time, Jia Mu was restless, standing under the corridor of the lobby. Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Youshi, Li Wan, Sister Feng, Sister Yingchun and Aunt Xue were all there. Come and ask.
Lai Da reported: "The younger ones are only waiting outside the Linjing gate, and you can't know the information inside. Later, eunuch Xia came out to congratulate and said that our eldest lady was named a virtuous concubine. Later, when the master came out, he also ordered the younger ones. .Now the master has gone to the East Palace again, so please ask the old lady to lead the ladies to thank you."
After hearing this, Jia's mother felt at ease, and she couldn't help but beam with joy.So they all put on makeup according to their products.Jia Mu led Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. You into the court in four sedan chairs.Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen also changed their court clothes, and led Jia Rong and Jia Qiang to serve Jiamu's sedan chair.So Ning Rong went up and down, inside and outside, everyone was happy and enthusiastic, everyone had a look of complacency, talking and laughing endlessly.
When Lin Ze went to pick up Daiyu, he saw that Daiyu's cheeks were flushed, and her phoenix eyes were slightly glinting. He couldn't help but smiled and said, "Is Yu'er drunk?"
Daiyu only gave him a sideways glance, and when she was about to speak, she heard a charming smile from behind her.Lin Ze looked back, and it turned out to be Sister Feng.I saw that Sister Feng was wearing a hibiscus red cut-out double-breasted short jacket, trimmed with squirrel-style fur, and a goose yellow and five-color brocade cotton skirt, with gold pendant feet and flat hairpins in her hair, and two pink peach blossoms tied with silk on her temples. Son, her complexion is becoming more and more beautiful, her lips are as red as water chestnut, which cannot hide her natural beauty.
"Second sister-in-law Lian, long time no see."
Wang Xifeng's stomach is already bulging, but she is slender and still walks quickly even though she is pregnant.Lin Ze looked at Ping'er who was following her, and couldn't help smiling.I'm afraid it's hurting the people who serve her, such a master who doesn't want to be quiet, doesn't worry about being pregnant!
Sure enough, Ping'er laughed and said, "Grandma, be careful where you step. If you have one or two, the second master will not have to skin me when you go back!" As he spoke, he bowed his head to Lin Zehe. Greetings from Daiyu.
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Look, I have a little housekeeper at home, and when I come out, there is another housekeeper. When I go back, another old housekeeper comes! Oh, what do you think of me? I'm so free It's all gone." Then, he took Daiyu's hand and smiled at Lin Ze: "Cousin Lin, I think it's good for Sister Lin to be with me. Don't take her back, just leave her with me. Chu'er talk. When no one around me looks at me like that tomorrow, it won't be too late to pick it up."
Both Daiyu and Lin Ze laughed, and Daiyu even smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law of Lian said that about me. Could it be that I am just to relieve your boredom?" Then she said to Ping'er, "Your grandma You don't care about talking like this. Now that you are also the master, why do you let her be so proud!"
Ping'er only pursed her lips and said with a light smile: "She is the one who can't be provoked, how dare I. I call the master, but where will I be the real master!" As he spoke, he took the cloak for Sister Feng to wear. superior.Then he smiled at Daiyu and said, "Miss Lin is so close to our grandma, why is she in such a hurry to go home, why don't you stay with us for a night and laugh with grandma?"
Daiyu couldn't help laughing, so she just took Ping'er by the hand and said to Sister Feng: "I usually look at what you can't say the most, but now I know that the one next to you can say the most!" Then she laughed and said: " Wait for some jokes and jokes in the future, just wait for you to give me a little nephew in peace, that's all." After finishing speaking, he looked at Wang Xifeng's bulging belly with a smile.
Wang Xifeng said casually: "I can't keep you today, and I will definitely come some other day." Thinking of the words passed down from the palace today, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, so he asked Lin Ze: "Cousin Lin, what are you doing?" It’s the first one, but what’s the important thing?”
Lin Ze said quickly: "I heard that it was a great joy. Just seeing all the high-ranking female relatives in the mansion enter the palace to thank you, I know it is probably a good thing for your mother." Speaking of this, it is inevitable to think of Jia She and The way Jia Zheng spoke.Anyway, he gave Jia Shen all the bait. As for whether Jia She could catch fish, that was his own business.
When Lin Ze and Daiyu bid farewell to Wang Xifeng, Jiamu and the others were still in the palace and had not returned in time.Lin Ze didn't want to wait any longer, so he took Daiyu back to the Lin Mansion.After sending Daiyu back to the house, Lin Cheng came over and said that Lin Ruhai was looking for him again.Lin Ze was wondering in his heart, how sooner or later did he find something to do with him?
But as soon as he arrived at Lin Ruhai's study, Lin Ze was taken aback for a moment. Seeing the person sitting in the upper seat, he hurriedly bowed to pay his respects and said, "My humble minister greets the emperor."
The emperor is an amiable person, Lin Ze has no doubts about it.But the emperor's amiable appearance is actually facing him?This made Lin Ze a little confused.Looking at the man with a gentle smile in front of him, Lin Ze didn't know why, but he felt a little warmth in his heart.It seems... very happy to be treated like this by him.
Shui Zhan watched Lin Ze and the emperor talking, both of them were smiling.They didn't notice it themselves, but Shui Zhan could see clearly from the side.Lin Ze's slightly upturned lips were exactly the same as the emperor's, and the emperor's slightly raised brows were also very similar to Lin Ze's.It's just that the emperor has a tall figure and a good appearance, but Lin Ze is tall and graceful.
"Lin Qing, your child is very good, very good." After saying "good" a few times in a row, the emperor reluctantly sent away Lin Ze's hand, turned his head and said this to Lin Ruhai, and then He quickly turned around and smiled at Lin Ze: "Xiao Linqing is knowledgeable and talented, and now he is serving as a scholar in the Imperial Academy, and his future is just around the corner."
Lin Ze was slightly startled, did the emperor say this?
Turning to look at Lin Ruhai and Shui Zhan, seeing that they both had the same gentle smile and nodding frequently, Lin Ze once again silently cursed in his heart: It must be the wrong way for him to open it!But can these words really come out of the emperor's mouth?
It can be said that although his future needs to be earned by himself, it still needs to be given by the emperor in the end.Now that the emperor has said such words, it means... his future future is just like this... is it okay? !
The rhythm is a bit too fast... Lin Ze thought dizzily.
"Lin Qing's house is very exquisite and exquisite, and it is quite different from other houses in Beijing. The layout and structure are also unique. I still want to see your house."
When Lin Ruhai heard this, he smiled and said: "The emperor will not give up. The repair and construction of this house is all done by Gouzi. If you want to praise, the emperor has praised the wrong minister."
Hearing what Lin Ruhai said, the emperor's eyes suddenly lit up. "really?!"
When Lin Ze came back to his senses, he saw the emperor looking at him eagerly.He was puzzled, but before he could react, the emperor spoke again. "Xiao Linqing, you can walk around with me."
"Xiao Linqing, let me tell you something interesting about your childhood."
Lin Ze looked at his hand being held by the emperor, and then glanced at Shui Zhan and Lin Ruhai who were two or three steps behind him, and tears flowed deeply in his heart.Your Majesty, don't bring such a thing!What a flattery, I am only surprised now!
But Lin Ze dared not answer the emperor's question.So those things about him when he was a child were thrown out again. Lin Ze's original intention was to beautify his image, but behind him was Lin Ruhai who knew everything about his daily life when he was a child.Therefore, under the hearty laughter of the emperor from time to time, Lin Ze's little head got lower and lower.
Lin Ze heaved a sigh of relief when he finally sent off the emperor and Shui Zhan who were still in high spirits, and when he turned around, he saw Lin Ruhai asking himself with a smile on his face: "Ze'er, what kind of person do you think the emperor is? "
……
Lin Ze, who was silent for a long time, thought and thought, but still couldn't come up with words of praise such as "working hard to govern" and "diligently governing the country".After holding back for a long time, he hummed sullenly and said, "I feel like a very easy-going person, very kind."
After hearing Lin Ze's answer, Lin Ruhai smiled and went back to the study.Lin Ze was left standing alone at the gate, maintaining the posture of seeing off the emperor for a long time.Scratching the back of his head, Lin Ze felt that it would be better for him to go back to bed earlier in this weather.Uncle Lin Ze, who instantly put his troubles behind him, did not know that after Lin Ruhai went to court the next day, he was left behind by the emperor for an in-depth talk.
As for the fact that a certain emperor finally heard his beloved son's evaluation of him after an absence of more than ten years, the warm and gentle expression on his face almost didn't scare Lin Ruhai.
Of course, these are not things that Lin Ze can know.
All Lin Ze could know was that the emperor had finally made a move, and the mighty project of visiting relatives was about to begin.
Today's sage is considerate of the hearts of thousands of people. There is nothing like the word "filial piety" in the world. It is thought that the natures of parents and children are all the same, and there is no distinction between high and low.Today, since I serve the Supreme Emperor and Empress Dowager day and night, I still can't show my filial piety, because seeing that the concubines and concubines in the palace have been in the palace for many years, and they have left their parents' voices, how can they not think about it?
It is proper for children to think about their parents.If I miss my parents at home, if I only miss my daughter, but I can't see her, if I become ill or even die because of this, I will imprison her, and I can't make her fulfill her family's wishes, and it will greatly damage the peace of heaven.
Therefore, the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager are allowed to enter the palace on the [-]th day of each month, and please wait and see.
So the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager were overjoyed, and praised today's filial piety and pure benevolence.Therefore, the two old sages made another decree, saying that when Jiaofang's family members enter the palace, it is inevitable that there will be a state system, and mother and daughter can't be comfortable.Unexpectedly, with great convenience, I sent a special order to all the noble relatives of Jiaofang. Except for the favor of entering the palace on the [-]th, if there is a house in the other courtyard of Chongyu, you can stay in the pass and guard. Second, the common people can ignore the personal love of flesh and blood, which is the ultimate nature in family relationships.With this decree, who wouldn't be grateful?Everyone should praise the current sage.
Lin Ze sent Lin Cheng out to inquire about it, and when he came back, he learned that Mr. Zhou's father had already started work at home and was building a provincial hospital.The family of Wu Tianyou, the father of Concubine Wu, also went out of the city to see places.
Lin Ze smiled coldly when he heard this.These individual families only know that the prosperity of the family visit is like a brocade, how can they expect how difficult the situation after the family visit is.One of the Holy Majesty's decrees is mentioned, "Anyone who has a house in Chongyu Bieyuan, who can stay in the pass and defense, may wish to invite the inner court Luanyu to enter his private residence", which is really the most witty.
None of those nobles and concubines want to take advantage of this to compete for the limelight.Even those with a slightly lower status, there are also those whose family wealth exceeds how many humerus ministers.The emperor made such a decree in order to empty out their wealth.It's poor that these people are still complacent and haven't woken up at all.
After receiving Jia Lian's letter, Lin Ze took a sip of tea with a smile and threw the letter on the table casually.Anyway, it was the Jia family who wanted to kill themselves, so did he have to rush to stop them?Fishing Da Fang and Jia Huan out means that he has done his utmost to the Jia family!
So after receiving Jia Lian's letter, Lin Ze came to Jia's mansion again as a guest.Although this time was less than half a month away from Jia Zheng's birthday last time.But Lin Ze was happy in his heart, and Sister Feng's body was stable again, so she was also joking with Jia's mother.For a while, Jia Mu's place was full of laughter and laughter.
When Xue's mother and daughter rushed to Jia Mu's place, Jia Mu's place was already full of laughter.
Sister Feng was handing tea to Mother Jia, and she said happily: "Don't laugh at me when you tell the old ancestors. I have lived so long, but I have never heard of such a thing! I have never seen my mother-in-law. It happened once, but now there is such a great thing. Oh, let me tell you, when the empress really comes back to visit her relatives, it will be a great honor!"
Mother Jia loved Sister Feng's eloquence. When she heard her say this, she also smiled and said: "This is the emperor's house with a kind heart, and filial piety comes first in everything. Otherwise, how could there be such a big surprise?" He said with a smile: "How old are you, you just talk about these things. Don't say that we are laughing at you, and the one in your belly may also secretly laugh at you."
Everyone in the room laughed, and Sister Feng blushed.He just rubbed his stomach and laughed: "He is only a little older, and dare to laugh at his old lady? When he comes out, see if I beat him or not!"
For a while, everyone laughed again, and at this moment, the mother and daughter of the Xue family had already entered the room holding the girl's hand.
Aunt Xue smiled all over her face, her eyes swept away, not only the female family members of the Rongguo Mansion and Baoyu were there, but even the brothers and sisters of the Lin family were present impressively.Then he darkened his eyes, but seeing Sister Feng's radiant face, she also smiled.
Aunt Xue blessed her body, and asked with a smile: "Congratulations to the old lady, we just heard the good news, the empress here is coming back to visit her relatives?"
Mrs. Wang was sitting on the side, only listening to Sister Feng and others laughing and not interrupting.Seeing Aunt Xue coming, she greeted her first with a smile.Hearing her say this again, she was full of ambition at the moment, and she just smiled happily: "That's right, the Eldest Master and the Master just came back from the palace, and they all said that the Emperor has issued a decree. It's definitely settled."
Sister Feng also jokingly said, "My aunt doesn't know, not only can I come back to visit my relatives, but in the future, on the second and sixth of every month, family members can also go to the palace to pay their respects." Then, she looked at the smiling face. Mrs. Wang.
Seeing that Aunt Xue and Baochai were still standing in the middle, Mother Jia also smiled and asked Yuanyang to move the chair over so that they, the mother and daughter, could sit down.Turning around, he told Mrs. Wang, "This is a good thing for the whole family. You can find someone to tell the cook. The table will be ready in the evening, so we can have a good time."
Mrs. Wang quickly stood up and replied with a smile: "It's natural. The men outside have to worry about things. We just have to be happy and wait until we welcome the empress back." Chuan'er went to explain everything without mentioning it.
Seeing Mrs. Wang's brows full of smiles, Baochai also pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Although I don't know much about the outside world, I have read a couple of plays. Really, I have never seen them before." In which dynasty or generation can a concubine go home to visit her relatives. Coincidentally, the big sister was born to be a virtuous concubine, and there was such a decree in the back foot. It can't be said, this may be the big sister's blessing."
The words were so right that Mrs. Wang's mind was immediately met, and she smiled all over her face.He only took Baochai's hand and rubbed it carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "My good boy, you can talk. If you want to say, this decree came just in time, your eldest sister was promoted to the concubine in the palace. , Coincidentally, the Holy Majesty has added such a decree. I also said, looking around, there are concubines in any generation who can save their relatives."
Isn't it?There was no such decree in the past, and there was no such decree in the evening. He was born as a concubine when his daughter was promoted, and this decree came down. Wasn't it just for Yuanchun?From this point of view, the daughter must be very honored and favored in the palace!
Everyone in the room was full of joy, and as soon as Sister Feng rolled her eyes, she took Daiyu's hand and smiled and said, "Old lady, look. Last time sister Lin came, the empress was promoted to the concubine position. Sister Lin is here, and there is such a good thing. I didn’t say that this sister Lin is a lucky star. Old lady, don’t you think so?”
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wang's handkerchief tightened, and she secretly glanced at Sister Feng.But Sister Feng was holding Daiyu's hand and talking to Jia Mu, but she had no time to see it.Instead, Lin Ze caught a glimpse of Mrs. Wang's expression, and recently gave a slight tick, and smiled noncommittally.
Daiyu was held by Sister Feng, her face burst into embarrassment, and she hurriedly said, "Don't say such things, Lian's second sister-in-law, I can't afford it. The empress is naturally blessed, what kind of blessing are we? There is no way to compare with the empress."
But Jia Mu responded with a nod and a smile, "Your Lian's second sister-in-law is right. Yu'er is my lucky star!" After finishing speaking, she pulled Daiyu into her arms and laughed for a while.
Over there, Madam Wang's complexion was already extremely ugly, but she couldn't get angry again.The female relatives in the room were chatting and laughing with each other. At this moment, a servant girl came to report: "Princess Beijing is here."
Mother Jia was startled, and everyone in the room had stopped laughing.Lin Ze also talked to Jiamu and avoided going out. There was also a maid from Jiamu's place who moved a glass screen to cover it. Daiyu, Baochai and Sanchun sisters all hid behind the screen.
After a while, Princess Beijing came in
Lin Zexin said: I'm afraid your daughter-in-law is going to do something bad again!
Thinking that Sister Feng collected 3000 taels of silver in the steamed bun nunnery and did a wicked thing without making a sound, Lin Ze felt a little apprehensive.Although he doesn't believe in any kind of private retribution, it's because he is a good boy who adheres to the scientific outlook on development.But why did Sister Feng have such awareness?It's just that she is bullying others with her wealth.
Lin Ze stroked his chin and said with a smile, "What kind of joy is this? It's because Lian's second cousin praised me."
Jia Lian also smiled, took a sip of the tea in hand, saw Lin Ze smiling at him, and asked with a smile, "Why isn't Uncle Lin here today?"
Lin Ze said: "Master went to the palace early in the morning, and he told me that there is no need to save dinner at night." Then, he looked at Jia Lian with concern again and said, "Second Cousin Lian, how did I hear that your house One of his nephew and daughter-in-law has gone?"
Jia Lian also sighed and said, "It's Dongfu Rong's daughter-in-law who has gone." As he spoke, he couldn't help thinking of Qin Keqing's character. Thinking of him being harmonious and intimate, those of the next generation thinking of him being kind, and the servants at home thinking of him being kind to the poor and the humble, loving the old and loving the young, all of them weep bitterly.Then his face became sad, and he just sighed and said: "The daughter-in-law Rong looked the best in the past, and she pity the poor and the old family to praise her. This time, it's really surprising."
Lin Ze's eyes darkened, but he asked calmly, "Is the lady in the palace okay?"
Jia Lian was slightly surprised when he heard the words. What he knew best was that Lin Ze was very reluctant to bring up the matter of the second room.Let alone Yuan Chun in the palace, I have never heard him ask before.It can be seen that Lin Ze asked sincerely, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart, and only smiled: "My lady is all right in the palace, and the first one was rewarded by the old sage. The emperor also gave the second master some rewards."
Lin Ze frowned, sure enough?
Speaking of Qin Keqing, later generations have different evaluations.It is also said that she is the princess of the former dynasty, some say that she is the orphan of the old prince, and some say that she is the incarnation of the fairy girl Jing Huan.Lin Ze also thought about it for a long time, but he still prefers Qin Keqing's death, which has a great connection with Jia Yuanchun's promotion in the palace.
Seeing Lin Ze's pensive and silent look, Jia Lian couldn't help hesitating when he thought of what the old lady had said to him when he came.It stands to reason that when Cousin Lin lived in Jia's mansion, he had never seen anyone so polite to him.Now as soon as he was awarded Tanhua, the family came here so excitedly to invite him to the house. Speaking of it, it was a bit awkward.
As soon as Lin Ze looked up, he saw Jia Lian's tangled face and slightly raised brows.He could probably guess why Jia Lian came here today.Fortunately, Lin Ruhai is not here today, otherwise we would have to go to Jia's mansion together as guests.The clever Lin Ze had already guessed from Jia Lian's expression that when Jia Lian came here, he was afraid that there would be an explanation from Jia's mother.
Sure enough, Jia Lian hesitated for a while before saying, "Cousin Lin, even though you are busy now, I can't say that. But you see, you have been away from our house for more than a year. The old lady came to invite you several times, and you have something to delay and can't go. Tomorrow is the second master's birthday, if Cousin Lin is free, why not go to our house for a walk, and make the old lady happy? "
Lin Ze sneered inwardly: Make Mother Jia happy?I'm afraid it's to reassure Mother Jia.Jia Yuanchun became the old sage's concubine in the palace. The whole Jia family was just happy about this matter, but Jia's mother was the most vicious. How could they not see that the old sage and Jia Yuanchun were a difficult couple? go far.
Now he won Tanhua and entered the Hanlin Academy as a Shuji scholar.That is also the most noble official, although the rank is a little lower, but the rare thing is that he is close to the emperor!Who doesn't know that there is a saying, "Non-jinshi will not enter the Imperial Academy, and non-Imperial Scholars will not enter the cabinet." Because of this, it is said that Shujishi is called "Princess Minister", and those who can become Shujishi have a chance to make it to the top.After all, the most important thing is to show your face in front of the emperor often for high officials and small ones!
Jia's mother played a good hand, knowing that Lin Ze won Tanhua and was hand-picked into the Hanlin Academy today, so she was anxious to win him over!After all, it was also for the Jia family's plan.How can Jia Yuanchun win over the old saint in the palace?Relying on appearance or means?In terms of means, who is Concubine Shen, she can play a lot of tricks for Jia Yuanchun without making a fuss.In terms of appearance, Lin Ze chuckled lightly, but he heard that Concubine Shen had sent two beautiful sons from her family to the palace to be maids of honor.
It seems that Mother Jia is in a hurry.
That's right, Jia Yuanchun is a big tree that the Jia family is now working together to embrace.If Jia Yuanchun fell out of favor, then the Jia family would not be able to train another girl like this to enter the palace to fight for favor.After all, the other Sanchun sisters, Yingchun, are weak and gentle, and can't be used much.Tanchun is also the daughter of a concubine, even if she has this ability, Mrs. Wang will never send her to the top.Isn't this just looking for something for yourself!The last one, Xichun, is too young and is from the Ningguo Mansion. No matter what Jiamu does, it is difficult for her to be her master.
After thinking about it, Lin Ze smiled and said, "Since it's the second uncle's birthday, I'll go there with my sister tomorrow."
Jia Lian couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this.I thought Lin Ze would have to shirk it, but I didn't expect Lin Ze to be so talkative.Immediately he smiled and said, "Tomorrow I will personally drive the car to pick up Cousin Lin!"
Lin Ze also smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I will be disrespectful." Then he got up and said, "Second Cousin Lian, I'll see you off." After thinking about it, he reached out and grabbed Jia Lian's sleeve. Seeing Jia Lian looking back, he smiled lightly and said, "Second Cousin Lian, I heard that Second Sister-in-law Lian is now pregnant. I'll let you know tomorrow." Yu'er will bring some medicinal herbs to nourish her health."
Jia Lian was even more delighted when he heard this.Thank you in a hurry, turn around and get in the car to leave.Lin Ze looked at the carriage going away, and finally sighed in his heart, some things might not be as bad as he thought.
In the evening, Lin Ze heard that Daiyu was back, so he went to talk to Daiyu about his son.Daiyu laughed and said, "I see the appearance of Lian's second sister-in-law now, which is really the same as the appearance of my wife when she was pregnant with Lan'er."
Lin Ze smiled and said, "How do you say that? It's alright, why are you talking about your wife again?"
Daiyu smiled and covered the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "You don't know, now Lian's second sister-in-law is pregnant, and she is served by Ping'er every day. They are all put away, and the clothes are neat and simple. Fortunately, I go there every day these days, otherwise I would not be able to recognize it."
Lin Ze wondered, this is Feng Lazi!Such a gentle and watery person is far from the original Sister Feng who was decisive and decisive.
Seeing that Daiyu was also happy for Wang Xifeng, the worry in Lin Ze's heart gradually disappeared.Maybe this kind of Sister Feng will not get involved in the life lawsuit that will kill her in the future.It's just that he was a little worried, he didn't really hate Jia Lian and his wife, at least in Rongguo Mansion, compared with the unruly and poor second room, he still had a good impression of the big room.Of course, this is inseparable from Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian's indirect help to Lin Ze.
"Tomorrow, let's go to Rongguo Mansion together. Mrs. Jia asked Lian's second cousin to pick me up."
Daiyu raised her eyebrows, looked at Lin Ze and said with a smile: "Why do you say you're going now? The old lady sent people here a few times before, but you all said that you couldn't go because of something. The master also said that you should study hard. Go back You are relieved, but I am troubled. When I went there, the old lady and sisters asked me several times before I met Lian's second sister-in-law."
Speaking of this, Daiyu was still angry.The Xue family's Baochai didn't know which one was wrong, and came to inquire about Lin Ze several times.Daiyu was already sensitive, and hearing Xue Baochai keep mentioning Lin Ze, she couldn't help but think of the Xue family's plan for Lin Ze.Thinking that the Xue family and Mrs. Wang are both from the same road, I feel a little unhappy.
It's just that she kept all these words in her heart, and didn't want to add trouble by saying them.
Lin Ze only smiled and said, "You can just say that the old lady asked me. There is no reason for the sisters to ask." Then, Lin Ze stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of Daiyu's hair, and said with a smile: "Morrow Why don't you still visit Lian's second sister-in-law?"
"Why don't you watch it?"
"Now that you've gone to see it, I have something to tell you." As he spoke, he briefly simplified the matter of the Mantou nunnery, except that what Sister Feng did was removed, and only the Mantou nunnery was mentioned.The focus is still on the matter of the guarding son and the daughter of the Zhang family, Brother Jin.
After hearing this, Daiyu was really moved, and she couldn't help reddening her eyes and said: "There is such a loving and caring woman in the world, it's a pity I can't see her. People like her parents have such a daughter who values love and righteousness. It is also the greatest irony."
Lin Ze also smiled and said, "That's right, so even if we can't help them, we can't hurt them, right?" Seeing Daiyu looking up at him, Lin Ze smiled and put his plan in Daiyu's ear Said lightly.At the end, he said: "Good Yu'er, whether this matter will be done or not is up to you tomorrow."
After hearing this, Daiyu frowned slightly and said, "I just don't know, Lian's second sister-in-law..."
Lin Ze hurriedly said, "Perhaps Lian's second sister-in-law has never been involved in this matter? You just have to ask carefully tomorrow."
After speaking, Daiyu also nodded, and the two of them spoke a few more words before Lin Ze went back to his room to rest.Early the next morning, Lin Ze and Daiyu headed to Rongguo Mansion after breakfast.As soon as Lin Zecai went out, he saw Jia Lian sitting on the shaft of the car. As he said yesterday, he drove to pick him up himself.
Seeing Lin Ze come out, Jia Lian greeted him with a smile and said, "Cousin Lin, I'm here to pick you up."
When Lin Ze heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Lao Lian's second cousin came to pick me up in person." After saying that, he stepped on the small stool and got into the carriage. After a while, Jia Lian also got into the carriage.The two chatted and laughed with each other in the car, and arrived at Rongguo Mansion not long after.
When Lin Ze got out of the car, he saw that Daiyu had changed into a sedan chair and went in, so he also smiled at Jia Lian: "Yu'er must be rushing to see Lian's second sister-in-law again. She often said that Lian's second sister-in-law is now tempered." Gentle, very different from the past."
Jia Lian also laughed and said, "No, I'm also surprised, not to mention Cousin Lin." Then they went to see Jia Zheng first.
This day was Jia Zheng's birthday, and the people from both Ningrong and Rong's offices gathered to celebrate, it was very lively.Lin Ze and Jia Lian came in together, and saw Jia Zheng sitting at the main table, and Jia Amnesty sitting beside him.Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, etc. are also listed.Lin Ze saw each other one by one, and then he heard Jia She caressing Xu and said with a smile: "Why is my nephew so polite, he is a blood relative of the whole family." After saying that, he personally wanted to help Lin Ze.
Lin Ze quickly backed away with a smile, and said with a smile: "The eldest uncle is kind, I am here to greet the two uncles. The second uncle is having a good day, but my father can't come because he is unwell, so he asked me to prepare some small gifts. .” As he said, he personally brought a red sandalwood box and presented it.
Jia Amnesty glanced at it with a smile and then looked away, feeling a little amused in his heart.This Lin Ruhai was obviously using excuses to evade, but he gave such an expensive gift, even the second child was speechless.
Sure enough, when Jia Zheng heard that Lin Ruhai was ill and could not come, his face was a little gloomy.It can be seen that Lin Ze held a wooden box made of red sandalwood with a smile, and when he looked at the contents inside, he was overjoyed at the moment.He originally liked reading very much, and he also likes to show that love of reading and learning in front of people.The things that Lin Ruhai sent really fit his wish.
For a while, some congratulatory guests came forward to give gifts and chatted, Lin Ze stepped aside, and only occasionally smiled and whispered a few words with Jia Lian, but it didn't make much sense.Lin Ze couldn't quite understand the babbling of operas on the stage.Occasionally, when he turned around, he saw Jia Amnesty smiling at him.Lin Ze frowned slightly, why didn't he find out that the old man was a smart man before?
At this time, Jia Lian also took the wine glass and touched the wine glass in Lin Ze's hand slightly, and said with a smile: "Cousin Lin, how did you listen to this play?"
Lin Zeyin said with a smile: "What's so interesting about the drama on stage, but it's all sung according to the script. If you want me to say, the drama off the stage is really good." His voice was low Low, with a bit of a smile, a pair of beautiful eyes are already a little pink.
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, but when he came back to his senses, he heard Lin Ze whispering beside him and said: "I'm afraid there is a happy event in the palace today, you have to prepare to tell your master. After all, regardless of Jia Lian's expression, he took another sip of wine.
Today is Jia Zheng's birthday, so Jia Yuanchun should be promoted at this time.Lin Ze took a sip of his wine with a smile, and at the moment of being so flattering, no one can say for sure who is responsible for Jia Yuanchun's promotion.Maybe she was really a reward for her informant, or maybe it was just the old sage's wish to make her a concubine on a whim.But in any case, what Lin Ze knew was that this matter can only be negotiated cheaply if he takes this matter on himself before it is said.
Lin Ze squinted his eyes, watching Jia Lian rushing to whisper something in Jia She's ear in a panic, and seeing their father and son looking at him from time to time, he felt amused.If he was born as a member of Jia's family, he would not hesitate to take such a big credit on his back now!Thinking of this, Lin Ze held up his wine glass and saluted Jia She from afar.
Jia Amnesty seemed to be frightened for a moment, and he was stunned for a while before he realized it.Then his bewildered expression slowly faded away, leaving only firmness.Lin Ze smiled and watched him say a few words to Jia Zheng, and the look of surprise and uncertainty appeared on Jia Zheng's face.
If this is not at the table, if it is not because there are so many people around.Maybe Lin Ze couldn't help standing up and applauding Jia She's acting skills.It's a pity not to be an actor for such a master who is good at acting!
Just as Lin Ze expected, when the house was full of celebrations, a doorman suddenly rushed in and reported to the banquet: "There is an eunuch from Liugongdu, Mr. Xia, who came to issue an order." People don't know what the news is, so they stopped the play, removed the banquet, set up the incense table, opened the middle door and knelt down to receive it.
Early on, I saw Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of Liugongdu, arriving on horseback, followed by many internal eunuchs.That Xia Shouzhong did not bear the imperial edict, dismounted in front of the eaves, smiled all over his face, walked to the hall, stood facing the south, and said in his mouth: "Special decree: Immediately declare Jiazheng to enter the court, and see you in the Linjing Hall." , I didn't have time to drink tea, so I went by horse.
Jia Amnesty had already received Lin Ze's words, and although he was a little surprised, he was much calmer than Jia Zheng and others.Although Jia Zheng also listened to Jia Amnesty's words, but it was so plausible that no one knew if it was true or not.The crowd didn't know what the sign was, so they hurriedly changed their clothes and entered the court.
After a while, Jia's mother and the whole family also received the news. They were all in a state of panic and kept sending people flying horses back and forth to report the news.
After two hours, I suddenly saw Lai Da and other three or four housekeepers panting and running into the Yimen Gate to announce the good news, and said, "by the master's order, please quickly invite the old lady to lead the wife and others to thank you" and other words.
At that time, Jia Mu was restless, standing under the corridor of the lobby. Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Youshi, Li Wan, Sister Feng, Sister Yingchun and Aunt Xue were all there. Come and ask.
Lai Da reported: "The younger ones are only waiting outside the Linjing gate, and you can't know the information inside. Later, eunuch Xia came out to congratulate and said that our eldest lady was named a virtuous concubine. Later, when the master came out, he also ordered the younger ones. .Now the master has gone to the East Palace again, so please ask the old lady to lead the ladies to thank you."
After hearing this, Jia's mother felt at ease, and she couldn't help but beam with joy.So they all put on makeup according to their products.Jia Mu led Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. You into the court in four sedan chairs.Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen also changed their court clothes, and led Jia Rong and Jia Qiang to serve Jiamu's sedan chair.So Ning Rong went up and down, inside and outside, everyone was happy and enthusiastic, everyone had a look of complacency, talking and laughing endlessly.
When Lin Ze went to pick up Daiyu, he saw that Daiyu's cheeks were flushed, and her phoenix eyes were slightly glinting. He couldn't help but smiled and said, "Is Yu'er drunk?"
Daiyu only gave him a sideways glance, and when she was about to speak, she heard a charming smile from behind her.Lin Ze looked back, and it turned out to be Sister Feng.I saw that Sister Feng was wearing a hibiscus red cut-out double-breasted short jacket, trimmed with squirrel-style fur, and a goose yellow and five-color brocade cotton skirt, with gold pendant feet and flat hairpins in her hair, and two pink peach blossoms tied with silk on her temples. Son, her complexion is becoming more and more beautiful, her lips are as red as water chestnut, which cannot hide her natural beauty.
"Second sister-in-law Lian, long time no see."
Wang Xifeng's stomach is already bulging, but she is slender and still walks quickly even though she is pregnant.Lin Ze looked at Ping'er who was following her, and couldn't help smiling.I'm afraid it's hurting the people who serve her, such a master who doesn't want to be quiet, doesn't worry about being pregnant!
Sure enough, Ping'er laughed and said, "Grandma, be careful where you step. If you have one or two, the second master will not have to skin me when you go back!" As he spoke, he bowed his head to Lin Zehe. Greetings from Daiyu.
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Look, I have a little housekeeper at home, and when I come out, there is another housekeeper. When I go back, another old housekeeper comes! Oh, what do you think of me? I'm so free It's all gone." Then, he took Daiyu's hand and smiled at Lin Ze: "Cousin Lin, I think it's good for Sister Lin to be with me. Don't take her back, just leave her with me. Chu'er talk. When no one around me looks at me like that tomorrow, it won't be too late to pick it up."
Both Daiyu and Lin Ze laughed, and Daiyu even smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law of Lian said that about me. Could it be that I am just to relieve your boredom?" Then she said to Ping'er, "Your grandma You don't care about talking like this. Now that you are also the master, why do you let her be so proud!"
Ping'er only pursed her lips and said with a light smile: "She is the one who can't be provoked, how dare I. I call the master, but where will I be the real master!" As he spoke, he took the cloak for Sister Feng to wear. superior.Then he smiled at Daiyu and said, "Miss Lin is so close to our grandma, why is she in such a hurry to go home, why don't you stay with us for a night and laugh with grandma?"
Daiyu couldn't help laughing, so she just took Ping'er by the hand and said to Sister Feng: "I usually look at what you can't say the most, but now I know that the one next to you can say the most!" Then she laughed and said: " Wait for some jokes and jokes in the future, just wait for you to give me a little nephew in peace, that's all." After finishing speaking, he looked at Wang Xifeng's bulging belly with a smile.
Wang Xifeng said casually: "I can't keep you today, and I will definitely come some other day." Thinking of the words passed down from the palace today, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, so he asked Lin Ze: "Cousin Lin, what are you doing?" It’s the first one, but what’s the important thing?”
Lin Ze said quickly: "I heard that it was a great joy. Just seeing all the high-ranking female relatives in the mansion enter the palace to thank you, I know it is probably a good thing for your mother." Speaking of this, it is inevitable to think of Jia She and The way Jia Zheng spoke.Anyway, he gave Jia Shen all the bait. As for whether Jia She could catch fish, that was his own business.
When Lin Ze and Daiyu bid farewell to Wang Xifeng, Jiamu and the others were still in the palace and had not returned in time.Lin Ze didn't want to wait any longer, so he took Daiyu back to the Lin Mansion.After sending Daiyu back to the house, Lin Cheng came over and said that Lin Ruhai was looking for him again.Lin Ze was wondering in his heart, how sooner or later did he find something to do with him?
But as soon as he arrived at Lin Ruhai's study, Lin Ze was taken aback for a moment. Seeing the person sitting in the upper seat, he hurriedly bowed to pay his respects and said, "My humble minister greets the emperor."
The emperor is an amiable person, Lin Ze has no doubts about it.But the emperor's amiable appearance is actually facing him?This made Lin Ze a little confused.Looking at the man with a gentle smile in front of him, Lin Ze didn't know why, but he felt a little warmth in his heart.It seems... very happy to be treated like this by him.
Shui Zhan watched Lin Ze and the emperor talking, both of them were smiling.They didn't notice it themselves, but Shui Zhan could see clearly from the side.Lin Ze's slightly upturned lips were exactly the same as the emperor's, and the emperor's slightly raised brows were also very similar to Lin Ze's.It's just that the emperor has a tall figure and a good appearance, but Lin Ze is tall and graceful.
"Lin Qing, your child is very good, very good." After saying "good" a few times in a row, the emperor reluctantly sent away Lin Ze's hand, turned his head and said this to Lin Ruhai, and then He quickly turned around and smiled at Lin Ze: "Xiao Linqing is knowledgeable and talented, and now he is serving as a scholar in the Imperial Academy, and his future is just around the corner."
Lin Ze was slightly startled, did the emperor say this?
Turning to look at Lin Ruhai and Shui Zhan, seeing that they both had the same gentle smile and nodding frequently, Lin Ze once again silently cursed in his heart: It must be the wrong way for him to open it!But can these words really come out of the emperor's mouth?
It can be said that although his future needs to be earned by himself, it still needs to be given by the emperor in the end.Now that the emperor has said such words, it means... his future future is just like this... is it okay? !
The rhythm is a bit too fast... Lin Ze thought dizzily.
"Lin Qing's house is very exquisite and exquisite, and it is quite different from other houses in Beijing. The layout and structure are also unique. I still want to see your house."
When Lin Ruhai heard this, he smiled and said: "The emperor will not give up. The repair and construction of this house is all done by Gouzi. If you want to praise, the emperor has praised the wrong minister."
Hearing what Lin Ruhai said, the emperor's eyes suddenly lit up. "really?!"
When Lin Ze came back to his senses, he saw the emperor looking at him eagerly.He was puzzled, but before he could react, the emperor spoke again. "Xiao Linqing, you can walk around with me."
"Xiao Linqing, let me tell you something interesting about your childhood."
Lin Ze looked at his hand being held by the emperor, and then glanced at Shui Zhan and Lin Ruhai who were two or three steps behind him, and tears flowed deeply in his heart.Your Majesty, don't bring such a thing!What a flattery, I am only surprised now!
But Lin Ze dared not answer the emperor's question.So those things about him when he was a child were thrown out again. Lin Ze's original intention was to beautify his image, but behind him was Lin Ruhai who knew everything about his daily life when he was a child.Therefore, under the hearty laughter of the emperor from time to time, Lin Ze's little head got lower and lower.
Lin Ze heaved a sigh of relief when he finally sent off the emperor and Shui Zhan who were still in high spirits, and when he turned around, he saw Lin Ruhai asking himself with a smile on his face: "Ze'er, what kind of person do you think the emperor is? "
……
Lin Ze, who was silent for a long time, thought and thought, but still couldn't come up with words of praise such as "working hard to govern" and "diligently governing the country".After holding back for a long time, he hummed sullenly and said, "I feel like a very easy-going person, very kind."
After hearing Lin Ze's answer, Lin Ruhai smiled and went back to the study.Lin Ze was left standing alone at the gate, maintaining the posture of seeing off the emperor for a long time.Scratching the back of his head, Lin Ze felt that it would be better for him to go back to bed earlier in this weather.Uncle Lin Ze, who instantly put his troubles behind him, did not know that after Lin Ruhai went to court the next day, he was left behind by the emperor for an in-depth talk.
As for the fact that a certain emperor finally heard his beloved son's evaluation of him after an absence of more than ten years, the warm and gentle expression on his face almost didn't scare Lin Ruhai.
Of course, these are not things that Lin Ze can know.
All Lin Ze could know was that the emperor had finally made a move, and the mighty project of visiting relatives was about to begin.
Today's sage is considerate of the hearts of thousands of people. There is nothing like the word "filial piety" in the world. It is thought that the natures of parents and children are all the same, and there is no distinction between high and low.Today, since I serve the Supreme Emperor and Empress Dowager day and night, I still can't show my filial piety, because seeing that the concubines and concubines in the palace have been in the palace for many years, and they have left their parents' voices, how can they not think about it?
It is proper for children to think about their parents.If I miss my parents at home, if I only miss my daughter, but I can't see her, if I become ill or even die because of this, I will imprison her, and I can't make her fulfill her family's wishes, and it will greatly damage the peace of heaven.
Therefore, the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager are allowed to enter the palace on the [-]th day of each month, and please wait and see.
So the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager were overjoyed, and praised today's filial piety and pure benevolence.Therefore, the two old sages made another decree, saying that when Jiaofang's family members enter the palace, it is inevitable that there will be a state system, and mother and daughter can't be comfortable.Unexpectedly, with great convenience, I sent a special order to all the noble relatives of Jiaofang. Except for the favor of entering the palace on the [-]th, if there is a house in the other courtyard of Chongyu, you can stay in the pass and guard. Second, the common people can ignore the personal love of flesh and blood, which is the ultimate nature in family relationships.With this decree, who wouldn't be grateful?Everyone should praise the current sage.
Lin Ze sent Lin Cheng out to inquire about it, and when he came back, he learned that Mr. Zhou's father had already started work at home and was building a provincial hospital.The family of Wu Tianyou, the father of Concubine Wu, also went out of the city to see places.
Lin Ze smiled coldly when he heard this.These individual families only know that the prosperity of the family visit is like a brocade, how can they expect how difficult the situation after the family visit is.One of the Holy Majesty's decrees is mentioned, "Anyone who has a house in Chongyu Bieyuan, who can stay in the pass and defense, may wish to invite the inner court Luanyu to enter his private residence", which is really the most witty.
None of those nobles and concubines want to take advantage of this to compete for the limelight.Even those with a slightly lower status, there are also those whose family wealth exceeds how many humerus ministers.The emperor made such a decree in order to empty out their wealth.It's poor that these people are still complacent and haven't woken up at all.
After receiving Jia Lian's letter, Lin Ze took a sip of tea with a smile and threw the letter on the table casually.Anyway, it was the Jia family who wanted to kill themselves, so did he have to rush to stop them?Fishing Da Fang and Jia Huan out means that he has done his utmost to the Jia family!
So after receiving Jia Lian's letter, Lin Ze came to Jia's mansion again as a guest.Although this time was less than half a month away from Jia Zheng's birthday last time.But Lin Ze was happy in his heart, and Sister Feng's body was stable again, so she was also joking with Jia's mother.For a while, Jia Mu's place was full of laughter and laughter.
When Xue's mother and daughter rushed to Jia Mu's place, Jia Mu's place was already full of laughter.
Sister Feng was handing tea to Mother Jia, and she said happily: "Don't laugh at me when you tell the old ancestors. I have lived so long, but I have never heard of such a thing! I have never seen my mother-in-law. It happened once, but now there is such a great thing. Oh, let me tell you, when the empress really comes back to visit her relatives, it will be a great honor!"
Mother Jia loved Sister Feng's eloquence. When she heard her say this, she also smiled and said: "This is the emperor's house with a kind heart, and filial piety comes first in everything. Otherwise, how could there be such a big surprise?" He said with a smile: "How old are you, you just talk about these things. Don't say that we are laughing at you, and the one in your belly may also secretly laugh at you."
Everyone in the room laughed, and Sister Feng blushed.He just rubbed his stomach and laughed: "He is only a little older, and dare to laugh at his old lady? When he comes out, see if I beat him or not!"
For a while, everyone laughed again, and at this moment, the mother and daughter of the Xue family had already entered the room holding the girl's hand.
Aunt Xue smiled all over her face, her eyes swept away, not only the female family members of the Rongguo Mansion and Baoyu were there, but even the brothers and sisters of the Lin family were present impressively.Then he darkened his eyes, but seeing Sister Feng's radiant face, she also smiled.
Aunt Xue blessed her body, and asked with a smile: "Congratulations to the old lady, we just heard the good news, the empress here is coming back to visit her relatives?"
Mrs. Wang was sitting on the side, only listening to Sister Feng and others laughing and not interrupting.Seeing Aunt Xue coming, she greeted her first with a smile.Hearing her say this again, she was full of ambition at the moment, and she just smiled happily: "That's right, the Eldest Master and the Master just came back from the palace, and they all said that the Emperor has issued a decree. It's definitely settled."
Sister Feng also jokingly said, "My aunt doesn't know, not only can I come back to visit my relatives, but in the future, on the second and sixth of every month, family members can also go to the palace to pay their respects." Then, she looked at the smiling face. Mrs. Wang.
Seeing that Aunt Xue and Baochai were still standing in the middle, Mother Jia also smiled and asked Yuanyang to move the chair over so that they, the mother and daughter, could sit down.Turning around, he told Mrs. Wang, "This is a good thing for the whole family. You can find someone to tell the cook. The table will be ready in the evening, so we can have a good time."
Mrs. Wang quickly stood up and replied with a smile: "It's natural. The men outside have to worry about things. We just have to be happy and wait until we welcome the empress back." Chuan'er went to explain everything without mentioning it.
Seeing Mrs. Wang's brows full of smiles, Baochai also pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Although I don't know much about the outside world, I have read a couple of plays. Really, I have never seen them before." In which dynasty or generation can a concubine go home to visit her relatives. Coincidentally, the big sister was born to be a virtuous concubine, and there was such a decree in the back foot. It can't be said, this may be the big sister's blessing."
The words were so right that Mrs. Wang's mind was immediately met, and she smiled all over her face.He only took Baochai's hand and rubbed it carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "My good boy, you can talk. If you want to say, this decree came just in time, your eldest sister was promoted to the concubine in the palace. , Coincidentally, the Holy Majesty has added such a decree. I also said, looking around, there are concubines in any generation who can save their relatives."
Isn't it?There was no such decree in the past, and there was no such decree in the evening. He was born as a concubine when his daughter was promoted, and this decree came down. Wasn't it just for Yuanchun?From this point of view, the daughter must be very honored and favored in the palace!
Everyone in the room was full of joy, and as soon as Sister Feng rolled her eyes, she took Daiyu's hand and smiled and said, "Old lady, look. Last time sister Lin came, the empress was promoted to the concubine position. Sister Lin is here, and there is such a good thing. I didn’t say that this sister Lin is a lucky star. Old lady, don’t you think so?”
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wang's handkerchief tightened, and she secretly glanced at Sister Feng.But Sister Feng was holding Daiyu's hand and talking to Jia Mu, but she had no time to see it.Instead, Lin Ze caught a glimpse of Mrs. Wang's expression, and recently gave a slight tick, and smiled noncommittally.
Daiyu was held by Sister Feng, her face burst into embarrassment, and she hurriedly said, "Don't say such things, Lian's second sister-in-law, I can't afford it. The empress is naturally blessed, what kind of blessing are we? There is no way to compare with the empress."
But Jia Mu responded with a nod and a smile, "Your Lian's second sister-in-law is right. Yu'er is my lucky star!" After finishing speaking, she pulled Daiyu into her arms and laughed for a while.
Over there, Madam Wang's complexion was already extremely ugly, but she couldn't get angry again.The female relatives in the room were chatting and laughing with each other. At this moment, a servant girl came to report: "Princess Beijing is here."
Mother Jia was startled, and everyone in the room had stopped laughing.Lin Ze also talked to Jiamu and avoided going out. There was also a maid from Jiamu's place who moved a glass screen to cover it. Daiyu, Baochai and Sanchun sisters all hid behind the screen.
After a while, Princess Beijing came in
