Before the emperor issued a decree to withdraw the title of prince, he was still the prince of loyalty and obedience, and officials below the super rank bowed their heads.
However, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice has a tough temper, with his right hand on his chest, he is calm and unaffected by the prince's coercion.
"Your Majesty is following the emperor's instructions. Please don't blame me. You colluded with the Southwest envoys and intended to commit an accomplice to our border. Now that the Southwest envoys have fully confessed, please don't make things difficult for me."
The words were very respectful, and there were quite a few honorifics that should be given, but there was a cold light in his eyes, and his face was full of business.
Prince Zhongshun stood in the prison with his hands behind his back, as if he was in the palace.
"Absurd, this king is loyal, how could he do such a thing? There must be someone who slandered you. Instead of catching the murderer behind it, you interrogate this king here. If you delay the important matter, will you be convicted?"
Instead of giving in, the confrontation between the two sides was fruitless for a long time.
Until Cheng Qian came in from the outside.
"Master Shangshu hasn't interrogated him yet? The southwestern envoy has agreed to our terms and will bring the letter back. If the prince still refuses to confess, why not send the envoy's confession to the emperor first."
"Cheng Qian?!"
Prince Zhongshun's eyes widened in disbelief.
"How dare you betray me!"
"My lord is joking, my allegiance has always been His Majesty, how can I call it a betrayal? It's just that my lord oppressed me with power, so I had no choice but to make false claims."
Said these words indifferently, without any extra emotion on Cheng Qian's face, he turned around and said a few words to Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, father-in-law, before going out today, Yin'er said that if the palace falls, she wants to take her biological mother out to take care of her, can you agree?"
Yin'er, the former concubine of the Zhongshun Palace, is now the wife of the Cheng family.
Prince Zhongshun's eyes were about to burst.
"Unfilial girl, you two dare to join forces to plot against me!"
"That's not true. Before I got married, I only knew that Yin'er was an unfavored concubine. After I got married, I realized that she was gentle and elegant. Her mother was a civilian girl who was forcibly married by you."
Shrugging his shoulders, Cheng Qian was quite thankful, leaning against the prison fence.
"At first, I was worried that if I was not easy to get along with, I would have to keep it at home for nothing, but now it is Qin Se and Ming, thank you father-in-law, I will take good care of Yin'er in the future."
After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands and saluted, then turned around and walked away with Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice.
In the prison, Prince Zhongshun grasped the fence with both hands.
"Evil barrier, evil barrier!"
The witnesses and material evidences are all there, so Prince Zhongshun cannot deny it.The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment has his own means, so he doesn't have to use punishment to prod him twice a day, and he admits within a few days, and the testimony is sent to the imperial court.
The emperor was furious and dealt with it immediately.
After Xi'an County King, Shan Guogong, etc., Zhongshun Prince's Mansion was not spared.Because no serious mistake has been made, he was only demoted as a commoner, together with his son Zhongshun who was far away in the southwest, and another person was sent to guard the southwest.
Cheng Qian accompanied him and took full charge of the transaction with Southwest.
After the imperial decree came down, Lin Ruhai was playing chess with Lin Daiyu at home, touching his beard and sighing.
"Shangshu Hubu has been suspended. I don't know who will take over, but the next time it will probably be Cheng Qian. Although he is contradictory and strange, he never makes mistakes in major matters."
Lin Daiyu frowned and studied the chess game, and after a while she made a move.
"What's strange, as long as you have a clear conscience, wouldn't it be fine?"
"Hahaha, yes, Yu'er is still transparent. I have been an official for my father for many years, but I was corrupted by the officialdom and became complicated."
Lin Ruhai laughed and sighed, and immediately dropped the chess pieces, feeling that life after returning home would not be lonely.
So far, the high titles of the court have almost been wiped out. No matter how the inside is surging, it seems that it is quite quiet on the surface.
At the end of June, another letter was sent from Fujian, saying that the marriage was going well, and the Chief Cao and Mrs. Cao rushed there specially, and attached great importance to it.Lin Yun has become the head wife of the Cao Mansion, and Cheng Jie stayed with her for a few days, and after delivering the letter, she set off for Feiyun Villa.
The eldest daughter was not able to participate in her childhood, and she was unable to attend the marriage because of her official position. Lin Ruhai wrote a memorial overnight to resign.
The memorial was sent back the next day, and the imperial pen reviewed two large characters.
"No".
Lin Ruhai didn't sleep well for half the night, and wrote a lot of letter memorials one after another, and decided to send one up every month.
There are very few first-rank officials in the court and most of them are empty positions. Lin Ruhai is already an extremely human minister. As long as he doesn't delay serious business, the emperor will ignore the trouble.
Cheng Qian came back at the end of July, and the transaction with the Southwest went smoothly, adding a large amount of money to the treasury, and was sealed as a fourth rank.Lin Ruhai handed over a letter of resignation and was ignored by the emperor again.
After such tossing until September, when Mr. Chen was promoted to Yushi of Youdu, tied for second rank with Lin Ruhai, he still did not give up his resignation.
Mr. Chen couldn't see it and came to persuade him.
"My lord Lin, Your Majesty has a lot of trust in you. Why do you have to resign? Although I have been promoted to the second rank, the Inspectorate is still dominated by you. The imperial envoy sent out last month was still named by you. Your Majesty will approve it immediately." Playing, it can be seen that the grace is excellent."
Lin Ruhai frowned after putting down the tea bowl.
"Master Chen, you don't know. I was not in good health in the early years, and it is not easy to survive at this age. The doctor said that I should live in peace and rest. I am approaching sixty years old, and I can't be tired. I am busy with imperial envoys and caught the wind and cold. Thank you Mr. Chen for my leave."
In ancient times, 60 years old was regarded as a long life, but he called himself a sixty-year-old man just after he turned [-], isn't it a bit too anxious?
Master Chen had helplessness written all over his face.
"You have been sick for the fourth time in three months. What does a doctor do?"
As soon as the words fell, Lin An came in from the outside and saluted.
"Master, the eldest girl ordered someone to send things back from Fujian."
Lin Ruhai, who frowned and sighed a second ago, stood up energetically.
"This child, why are you giving me something again? I always think about my mother's family, and I'm not afraid of being gossiped about."
He said reproachful words on his mouth, but his face was wrinkled with a smile.Seeing all kinds of nutritious seafood being sent, he waved his hand and ordered people to send back all kinds of rare treasures, which were worth several times more.
Master Chen's mouth was twisted when he witnessed the whole process.
"Master Lin, eat less seafood if you have a cold."
"I misremembered, it's not the wind and cold, it's the tired neck that hurts."
Changing his words so quickly is not at all respectable for a second-rank official in the court.
Mr. Chen couldn't understand how Mr. Lin, who was upright from the front, turned into such a rascal, and left angrily.As soon as he entered the house, a child who had just learned to walk wobbled towards him, screaming vaguely.
"Zu...Zu Zu~"
"Hey!"
The angry face was immediately filled with a smile, and he bent down to pick up the child.
"Are you good today, did you make your mother angry? Your mother is weak and premature, so you can't make your mother angry."
Regardless of whether the child can understand or not, he smiled and educated and went back to the house.
A few days later, Nan Gongxu appeared in the capital, squatting outside Lin's mansion, and frightened the servants who went out to buy things out of their wits.
Fortunately, such things happen occasionally in half a year, and the servants reacted in a moment of shock, and hurriedly invited them in, so as to entertain them.
Lin Daiyu heard the message and came out to receive him. By the way, she asked for some medical books that she couldn't understand these days, as long as she gave him a few pots of medicinal herbs before leaving.
"Don't want this, want this."
Unexpectedly, Nan Gongxu refused Lin Daiyu's gift, groped around in his bosom, and took out a packet of seeds.
"Dispensing."
Lin Daiyu immediately understood the simple two words.
"But someone came to ask for medicine? The weather is getting colder now, it's not easy to grow herbs, I'm afraid it will take some time."
"It's okay, if you die, you can't save it."
This answer is still in the usual style, and Lin Daiyu raised her forehead when she heard it.Even if we have known each other for a long time, we cannot easily accept his indifference and disdain for human nature.
"If I can grow it, I will write to my sister-in-law."
"it is good."
Nan Gongxu nodded in agreement, stared at Lin Daiyu for a long time, and finally left with a face full of doubts.
When the snow geese came to bring the tea, there was no one there.
"Mr. Nangong is gone? He is always so mysterious every time. This man is really strange. Looking at girls is like looking at medicinal herbs."
"Don't talk nonsense, can I still be used as medicine?"
With two reprimands, Lin Daiyu went into the house with the seeds.I don't know whose life this time the seeds are concerned about, and if they are planted, one person can be saved.
Although Lin's father and daughter are concerned about their hometown, they are still busy, not perfunctory, nor empty, and they did not get the emperor's permission to resign and return home until the end of the year.
Therefore, even though Cheng Qian and his wife, Wei Ruolan and his wife, Lin Feng and Lin Yue all came to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year, Lin Ruhai was not happy, and he wrote all the resignation memorials.
Lin Daiyu quietly told Tanchun.
"During my sister's birthday, my father sent nearly a thousand taels of birthday presents. My sister gave her New Year's presents a year ago, and my father sent someone to send back double the gifts. If I stay in the capital for a long time, my family will be emptied."
Tanchun and Yin'er were full of envy. If they could choose, who wouldn't want such a father?
Before the end of the first month, Tanchun came to the mansion again.
"Lian's second sister-in-law is gone. She has been in poor health. She managed to manage the family in the past few years, but she couldn't support herself. It is inconvenient for you to go there before you leave the cabinet. I will send you a letter along the way."
Wang Xifeng, the former concubine and fairy, did not wrap herself in a straw mat after all.Although she is not the young mistress of the Duke's Mansion, she has sons and daughters and family property, and a coffin is neither beautiful nor desolate.
Lin Daiyu read several volumes of Buddhist scriptures for her, and wrote this matter in a letter to Lin Yun, and the sisters sighed with emotion.
It was February again, and Lin Daiyu was about to get married, and there was an endless stream of people coming to her door.The father and daughter were so disturbed that Lin Ruhai simply changed the monthly letter of resignation into a half-monthly letter.
The emperor was so angry that his veins broke out, he called him into the palace and scolded him secretly.Seeing that he was indeed young and persistent, he finally let go.
"I can learn from Lin Aiqing's heart, and I also feel it. However, there are very few people in the court who can be of great use. It coincides with the year of the imperial examination. Can Lin Aiqing have a good plan?"
Translated into adult words, you will be released after completing the imperial examination.
Lin Ruhai clapped his hands and was overjoyed.
"Your Majesty Shengming."
The affairs of the Procuratorate were handed over to Mr. Chen to take over, and Lin Ruhai led the people to agree on the questions of the provincial and general examinations, and handed them over to the emperor early.Then I packed my things and waited for the time to pass.
In August, the township examination was successfully held, and finally got the "Zhun Zuo".
The second year's exam was held as usual, and Lin Ruhai and the relevant personnel decided the final ranking. When students from all over the country were busy rushing to Beijing for the exam, he brought Lin Daiyu back to Yangzhou.
"I think back then when I was a father, I used to rush for the exam. Things are different."
Sitting in the carriage, looking at the passing students passing by from time to time, Lin Ruhai was filled with emotion, and put down the curtain for a while.
Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled.
"It's strange that my father didn't want to take the boat because he wanted to recall the past. I see that my father is more handsome than them."
"Haha, not entirely. It's a beautiful spring scene. Wouldn't it be a waste if we can't enjoy it on the boat? Let's walk for a few days first, and then change boats when we're tired, wouldn't it be beautiful?"
The father and daughter talked and laughed, and the ordinary-looking carriage drove out of the capital.

177. Extra Story [-]
All gods and Buddhas perform their duties.One day, Emperor Baosheng came on a cloud, passing by the Tianhe River, and saw the spirit crab shedding its shell below.
"I have a flavor medicine that lacks crab shells as a medicine. It's a coincidence."
With a chuckle, he landed and picked up the two empty shells, shaking off the sand and putting them in his sleeves.He was about to pick up the third party, but unexpectedly, the little crab had just shed its shell and was lying beside it, raising its hand with a pincer.
"Small size and temper, I use crab shells as medicine, not to catch you."
Emperor Baosheng raised his finger.
"let go."
The little crab was dangling on the fingers, not only did not let go, but the free pincers also pinched empty a few times braggingly.
"If you don't let go, I'll use you to feed the old turtle at the end of Tianhe. The little crab that has just shed its shell is fresh and tender, and it will definitely like it."
There are many creatures in Tianhe, and the little crab is bubbling with anger, reluctantly letting go and smashing himself on the ground.Shaking the pliers, he quickly dug a hole and got in.
Seeing that it was so clever, Emperor Baosheng's mind moved slightly, seeing the traces of his fingers being pinched, he pinched his fingers and counted.
"It turns out that if we can survive this calamity, you and I still have a fate."
Having collected enough crab shells in his sleeve, Emperor Baosheng walked away with a smile.
The little crab didn't know that he was leaving the ground, so it hid for a long time before sticking its head out, only to find that the Tianhe River was ebbing, and the golden crow's light had dried the soil by the river, making it hard and dry.
The other crabs around had already returned to the Tianhe, only it was scared by Emperor Baosheng and hid underground, missing the hour.
The heat of the Golden Crow shone on its body, and it could already feel the loss of water in its body.Climbing towards the direction of Tianhe with the fastest speed, but still unable to avoid the shining of the Golden Crow.
The body temperature was getting higher and higher, and the speed was getting slower and slower. Just when it thought it would be sunburned to death, a shadow appeared in front of it.Immediately crawled over desperately, shrunk in the shadow corner, only to find that it was a big rock.
Whatever it is, it's safe for now.
Seeing the light chasing after it, the little crab wished he could get under the rock.
But this stone is huge and hard, and the Golden Crow has no influence on it, only the shadows to hide in are getting smaller and smaller.
"Kakkaka."
The crab claws knocked on the stone uneasily, but they couldn't stop Jinwu.
The last trace of water in the body seemed to have evaporated, and half of the little crab's body was exposed to the golden crow's light, and it was dazed and unable to move.
After an unknown period of time, the little crab found that he could still move, the sky also became dark, and the golden crow had long gone.
Shaking off the dirt on his body and crawling out from the stone, he saw many fairy grasses around him staring at it.
"Crack!"
Threatened by the two big pincers flaunting their might, the fairy grass with red fruits trembled twice, and two fruits fell on its head.
The sufficient moisture in the fruit allows the little crab to gnaw regardless of picking it up. After gnawing, it regains its energy and dances its pincers.
"Kakakakaka!"
The grass jelly stretched out its trembling leaves, but before it touched it, it was grabbed by the pliers.
"Crack!"
The good-hearted fairy grass was cut off a leaf, so frightened that it shivered while protecting its own fruit.The other grass jelly also shrank, afraid of these two sharp guys.
"Crack!"
Little Crab won the game, looked left and right to see if there was no Golden Crow, and ran in the direction of the sound of the river, and it was unlikely to get into the Tianhe River and disappear.
The stars have changed, and it has been a hundred years since Emperor Baosheng came to the Tianhe River again, and the Tianhe River has once again ebbed.
Picking and picking some needed things, passing by a piece of slightly withered jelly grass, and stopping.
"The celestial grass that has not yet developed spiritual wisdom actually has divine consciousness, and it bears red fruits. Let me call you Crimson Pearl."
Touch the leaves, pick a few red fruits, and leave again.
A few years later, the Milky Way grew back, and the spirit grass was luxuriant, and the crimson pearl swayed in the wind and became a school of its own.It happened that Shenying's waiter walked by and was attracted by its figure.
"There are such beautiful fairy grasses beside the Tianhe River. The river is far away. Let me water them for you."
The more I look at it, the more I like it. Since then, the waiter of Shenying has brought nectar from other places to water it every day.
The nectar water contains the essence of heaven and earth, and the crimson pearl gradually develops its wisdom, and it is not enough to transform into a human form, and then see the head monk and the lame Taoist coming straight...
"Snow geese!"
Lin Daiyu woke up from her dream, still in shock.
The snow geese next to her didn't even care to put on their clothes, so they just put them on and ran over.
"What's the matter, girl, are you having a nightmare?"
"I, I seem to see those two monks and priests, they came to me and wanted to take me away."
Her expression was in a daze, Lin Daiyu clearly hadn't heard from them for a long time, let alone seen them, but the moment she saw them in her dream, she felt a chilling sense of crisis in her heart, even though she woke up with a chill on her body.
Xueyan touched her forehead, confirmed that she was fine and helped her to lie down.
"Where are there any monks or priests? We haven't heard from them for several years since we returned to Yangzhou. It must be because the girl hasn't slept well and is thinking wildly."
While talking, he tucked up the quilt for her, and covered his mouth and yawned.
"Miss, do you want to drink some water? You haven't had a dream for a long time. It may be because you were tired from distributing medicinal materials a few days ago. Let the doctor take a look tomorrow."
"Maybe so, there is no need to pour water, you go back to sleep."
Sending the snow geese back, Lin Daiyu tightly quilted, thinking about the monk and Taoist in her dream, and suddenly realized that she couldn't remember what happened before she met the monk or Taoist.Although it was a very long dream, she could only remember the moment before she woke up.
It’s weird.
As the night was still dark, Lin Daiyu yawned and followed after a while.
On the morning of the second day, Xueyan helped her dress up and said casually.
"It's said that dreaming is not good. After breakfast, please ask the doctor to come and see. The girl must be too tired. She prescribed some soothing decoctions."
"Who is dreaming?"
Lin Daiyu put on rouge and asked casually.
Xueyan was still holding the hairpin in her hand, she paused, and turned her head to see that Lin Daiyu didn't seem to be joking.
"Girl, you had a dream last night, don't you remember? You also said that you dreamed of monk Laitou and a lame Taoist."
"When did I dream, what are you talking about, girl?"
Putting down the rouge, Lin Daiyu looked at what was lacking in her makeup in the mirror, picked up the copper daisy and brushed her eyebrows lightly, as if she really didn't remember what happened last night.
Xueyan was even more puzzled, but said.
"I got up to drink water last night, and when I heard the girl turning over, I thought it was a dream. After breakfast, I asked the doctor to come over and take the girl's pulse, and show me, too. I seem to have caught a cold yesterday."
"If that's the case, call the doctor to take a look. You can't be careless when you're sick."
After finishing her makeup, Lin Daiyu got up to take care of her clothes, but when she was about to go out, she remembered something.
"By the way, Feiyun Villa sent a letter saying that people from Nangong's family have come these few days. I think it's raining, and I told the servants not to pour the herbs."
"Hey, don't worry, girl."
With a clear promise, Xue Yan heaved a sigh of relief.
Forgetting dreams is a common thing, as long as you don't forget anything else.
The two master and servant went to greet Lin Ruhai and had breakfast together. As soon as they returned to the backyard, the sky turned cloudy.
Xueyan poked her head out of the window.
"Earlier, the girl said it was going to rain, but it came so soon. Sure enough, it is rainy in spring. If the sea tide rises, the eldest girl will send a lot of seafood. By the way, on the girl's birthday, the eldest girl will send pearls back. I just picked out the ones that were not round, let's grind them into powder."
During the rainy season, Lin Daiyu would always look for something to entertain her. Lin Daiyu nodded in agreement, and Xueyan immediately took the maids to find out the pearls and tools and put them on the table.It was raining lightly outside, and everyone in the house was making pearl powder.
The rain didn't stop, and suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
Xueyan wiped her hands and took out the oil-paper umbrella from the side.
"What's the matter at this time, is it possible that the master is staying in the private school and not coming back?"
Whispering, holding an umbrella, he went to open the courtyard door, but saw a drowned man standing there.
"Oh, when did Mr. Nangong come? Why didn't the boy outside spread the word. Chunxian, prepare towels and hot water!"
Nan Gongxu held the porcelain jar in his arms, didn't mind the rain on his body at all, was taken into the empty room in the west wing by the girls, dried his hair and changed into clean clothes before going to the main room to meet Lin Daiyu.
"good stuff."
Squeeze the pearl powder, put it on the tip of the pen to sniff, then grab it and taste it.
Lin Daiyu hurriedly asked someone to bring him a new jar and put some pearl powder in it.
"This is a pearl sent back by my sister. My sister-in-law also has it. Why don't you act like you haven't seen it before?"
"No."
Nan Gongxu opened his mouth to deny, carefully stuffed the jar full of pearl powder into his arms, and stuffed the porcelain jar he brought to Lin Daiyu.
"My master gave it to you."
"When did you have a master? Last time, my sister-in-law said that Uncle Nangong asked you to go back and teach the younger generation in the clan, but you didn't want to go."
He occasionally appears and disappears, Lin Daiyu mostly heard about it from Nan Gongyu, and he managed to connect intermittently.
"No, it's too stupid, I won't teach."
He curled his lips in disgust, his mission here has been completed, he turned around to see that there was nothing of interest in the room, and walked towards the medicine garden.
Xueyan just put down the umbrella and picked it up again.
"Young Master Nangong, it's raining, come back soon!"
I chased him out and wanted to give him an umbrella, but how could I catch up?I can only ask two young men to follow with umbrellas.
Lin Daiyu looked at the porcelain pot, raised her head and smiled.
"He likes water the most. What's the rain? The last time I caught an old turtle in the river, my sister-in-law didn't take it too seriously. Why are you worried?"
"It's okay to be in Feiyun Villa, you can't catch a cold here?"
Xueyan had no choice but to ask people to stare at Nan Gongxu, and ordered people to cook ginger soup for later use.Regardless of whether it can be used or not, at least the Lin family has intentions.
It's just that I haven't figured it out for so many years, how can such a young talent with excellent medical skills behave like a stubborn idiot in dealing with others?Fortunately, he came from the Nangong family. If he was in other families, he might be regarded as a fool.
"Girl, don't just smile, take a quick look at what's in the jar, if it's muddy, don't put it in the house."
"Let me take a look. Could it be altar medicinal wine?"
Lin Daiyu shook the jar lightly, and when she heard the sound coming from inside, her face showed doubts.Open the seal, but there is no smell of alcohol, it is refreshing, as if it is just ordinary white water.
Can't see the name, try dipping your fingers to pick up some fine products on the tip of your tongue.
"It seems to be dew, which is strange. Why send dew all the way?"
Still can't figure it out, seeing the sound of the rain outside getting louder without any intention of stopping, he simply ordered someone to move out of the stove.
"It's cold in the spring, so it's better to boil water and make tea. Xueyan, you take two jars to collect some rainwater, and store it with last year's snow water, waiting for summer drinking."
"Hey, I'll go right now."
In the evening, the rain that lasted for half a day finally stopped. Lin Ruhai came back from the private school and smelled the fresh fragrance of tea before entering the backyard.
"You've only been out for a day, where did you get good tea?"
"It's not good tea, it's good water."
Lin Daiyu took water from the fire with a smile, made tea with her own hands and handed it over.
"Brother Nangong came here today and brought a jar of dew, which is better than the dew on plum blossoms. You should try it."

178. Extra Story [-]
"My lord, the carriage is ready."
The boy came in from outside the courtyard, stood in front of the door, bowed and shouted.
After a while, Cao Tongxuan came out, dressed in everyday attire.
"My lady hasn't packed it yet, wait a minute. Are all the presents packed?"
"Yes, everything is ready."
Cao Tongxuan nodded, ordered the boy to go out and wait, and turned back by himself.Going around the screen to the inside, a few girls are busy, and the woman surrounded by them is doing a woman's hairstyle.
"If you don't call me when you get up early today, what if it's late?"
"What's the rush, just make it to the full moon banquet."
After waving the girl back, Cao Tongxuan came forward to choose the hairpin himself, his eyes lingering in the mirror.
"My wife is so pretty, she can wear any hairpin, just this one."
After speaking, he put the hairpin on the hairpin and admired it by himself.
Lin Yun stretched out his hand to fine-tune the angle of the hairpin, and smiled back at him.
"Since I gave this hairpin for my birthday last year, I have to take it with me every time I go out. You are not tired of looking at it, but everyone else is tired of looking at it."
"It's none of their business if I give it to my wife? I'll give it a new one this year and wear it differently."
After finishing speaking as a matter of course, Cao Tongxuan took the opportunity to take a sip.
"So lovely."
"Get up and drive, it's going to be a waste of time."
The two dawdled in the room for half an hour, and finally cleaned up.I didn't have time for breakfast, so I had a few snacks before setting off for the Governor's Mansion in Fujian.
"I've only been in Fujian for the second year, and Yingchun's sister has given birth to her second child. Why are they in such a hurry?"
Today is going to attend the Spring Festival Children's Full Moon Banquet.In just two or three years, almost all the sisters back then became mothers.After thinking about it, Lin Yun was quite emotional.
Cao Tongxuan leaned over and put his arms around her shoulders.
"Why, are you in a hurry too?"
"Go go!"
She looked up and waited for him, but was held even tighter.
"The elder sister-in-law said that women who give birth too early are not good for their health. We are both young, and the two elders did not urge us to wait a few years."
Although it is only the second year of marriage, Cao Tongxuan explained this in advance.
He is not the only heir in the family, and he has no obsession with children. After hearing Nan Gongyu say that women who give birth prematurely will shorten their lifespan, he bluntly said that he will wait until Lin Yun is 20 years old before thinking about children.
How many men in this era can say this?
Lin Yun shrinks into his arms.
"It's your acquaintance."
Arriving at the Fujian Governor's Mansion, it was already full of guests.Cao Tongxuan went to the front yard to be with the men, while Lin Yun went to the backyard to see Yingchun.
"Madam Cao is here, please come inside."
Siqi's standardized smile showed a sincere smile, and he told the girls and women to treat guests carefully, and personally took Lin Yun to the backyard.
"You are here, my wife has been nagging since just now, saying that I will invite you in when you come."
"How is her health? The first child is just two years away and she gave birth again, so she needs to take good care of her."
Lin Yun asked casually, but Siqi's smile deepened.
"The guests who come and go are concerned about the master and my brother, and the first sentence you said was concerned about our wife. Don't worry, the master specially invited a doctor to come, and said that the girl's bones will recover quickly, but after this child, she must take care of her for a few years. "
Seeing that there was no one around, he quietly leaned over to tease.
"The master also said that he would not have children in the future, and was stared at by his wife several times."
"It's good to be able to say that."
The two of them talked and walked around inside, Yingchun had finished dressing and was hugging the baby, when they saw the two coming in, they hurriedly handed the baby to the nanny.
"You're here. I was planning to go outside to welcome guests, but the master forbids me to go. Maybe there's no way to joke outside."
"Jokes on the lips, but I don't know what envy looks like in my heart. Why do they care? You are the governor's wife anyway, who dares to talk gossip to you?"
The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. Unless the imperial court sends another vassal to guard it, the biggest official here is Feng Ziying.Lin Yun scoffed, just teasing the child.
Although Yingchun has a dull temper, after all, she was raised by Jiamu's side, and she has been the "First Lady" in Fujian for several years, so she has a certain momentum.Hearing what she said, Xiaoxiao stopped reasoning and turned to ask Siqi.
"The guests have arrived? What does the master say?"
"Return to Madam, Mother You is entertaining outside. You can go out when the time comes. The master is entertaining guests in front, and I ask you not to be tired."
Third Sister You followed Yingchun to Fujian, where she rested from her thoughts of getting married, and simply started grooming herself early on as a nun, and is now the chief steward of the inner courtyard of the Governor's Mansion.
"Got it, you go out and watch, I'm talking to my eldest sister."
Sending Siqi out to stare, Yingchun's whole body exudes tranquility and happiness from the inside out.
"In the early years, I felt lonely in Fujian alone. Now that I have sons and daughters, you also come here. In the future, I will not worry about having no one to talk to. I even received a full moon gift from my third sister and sister Daiyu."
Since she was a child, she was not a lucky person, nor was she a greedy person. She was already content with being able to live like this.
Lin Yun looked at her with emotion in his heart.This wasn't the most perfect ending, but for her, it was something she dared not dream of.That's fine.
"It's also for the child, why are you happy? Can you think of a name?"
On a happy day, I wanted to talk about some pleasant topics, but just after I finished speaking, Yingchun's face became strange, and he opened and closed his lips for a long time before he spoke.
"The master said, let the elder brother be called Feng Zhansheng, and give the younger sister a nickname, Feng Haihai, and said that the girl's double word is nice."
What's the name of this?Lin Yun opened his mouth wide, speechless.
Yingchun showed pain on his face.
"I said the name was not good and asked him to choose another one. He said that my sister's name is Feng Xingxing, as bright as the stars in the sky..."
"Pfft."
Lin Yun couldn't hold it back, turned around and laughed until his shoulders shook, and stopped for a long time.
"Does your father-in-law know this name?"
"I know, my father-in-law wrote to him and scolded him, asked me to name him, and said that he would break his legs if he dared to bark."
Thinking of the indecent words in the letter, the corners of Yingchun's mouth twitched again.
Both father-in-law and husband are good everywhere, but they are a little reckless.But although the father-in-law is reckless, he is still well-read in poetry and books. How come his own husband can't even think of a name?
Lin Yun became more and more overjoyed, laughing until Siqi came in and asked the two of them to sit at the table.
There were many guests at the full moon banquet, and they all praised the Spring Festival.
"This is my brother, and it was carved out of the same mold as Mr. Feng."
"Look at the strength of your hands and feet, and you will definitely do something in the future."
Yingchun thanked her with a light smile, and ordered Third Sister You to lead everyone to their seats.
"The baby is full moon, and I have to thank you all for coming to celebrate. It is not a respect to prepare some thin wine, thank you in advance."
Raise the wine glass and drink lightly, which is regarded as a tribute.
The guests toasted and drank one after another, and the banquet was lively and noisy.
After a while, the eldest sister came over with the nanny, pulling the corner of Yingchun clothes, with a soft voice full of eagerness.
"Mother, younger brother, younger brother."
The two-year-old was slurring his words, but his small eyes searched for his mother.Yingchun immediately picked her up and leaned over to see her younger brother.
"This is the younger brother, little one, you see. The eldest sister is still beautiful."
Rubbing her daughter's face, Yingchun smiled happily.
The two ladies below exchanged glances.
"I gave birth to a daughter for the first time, and I thought she would fall out of favor, yet she gave birth to a son so soon."
"No, why do I look at her as if I love my daughter more?"
"Whatever it is that she loves, Master Feng must love his son. How can a man dislike his son? I heard that Master Zhao brought two singers to give to Master Feng."
"Really? There's a good show to watch."
They muttered and thought that no one could hear them, but they didn't know that Lin Yun who was sitting behind them could hear them clearly.
After the full moon banquet, the guests left, and Feng Ziying came back from the front yard, impatient to see her son.
"Why do I watch this kid grow up again? Madam, put it down quickly and hold the weight. The doctor said you need to rest well."
He took his son from Yingchun and teased him for a while, then suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, someone sent a few women here, you look at the arrangement. I heard that singing is good, ask them to entertain you."
Smiling and talking, he didn't take those women seriously at all, squatting down and handing his son to his daughter.
"My sister came to see my younger brother. You look like your mother, and your younger brother looks like your father. In the future, you will definitely look better than your younger brother."
"How can a man say that he is good-looking? Stop talking nonsense, my brother should be like you, handsome and handsome."
Husband and wife hugged their children and praised each other.
Lin Yun heard a toothache, and moved to Cao Tongxuan's side.
"Let's go back, do you have anything else to do?"
"I wanted to discuss some military strategies, but seeing that he is not available, let's try another day."
After muttering a few words, the two moved out.He was spotted by Feng Ziying when he got to the door.
"What are you doing back home? The crowd was so noisy and impatient. Let's have a drink later. I'm not a brother urging you to see that I have both children. When will you have one? Hurry up, we can be in-laws in the future."
After finishing speaking, he went to grab Cao Tongxuan, and just touched him, but found Lin Yun staring at him quietly.
"Just take care of yourself."
"That's what I said, but I just want to remind you a few words. If there is no movement after three years of marriage, people outside should gossip. Why are you pinching me?"
Feng Ziying raised her arm, revealing the waist pinched by Yingchun.
Yingchun coughed twice to cover it up, and handed her son and daughter to the nanny to take them out.
"I persuade you because you are my brother, and I don't care about others. If you don't come sooner, you... ouch, why are you pinching me again?"
His hand was stronger than last time, Feng Ziying grinned and dodged, but Yingchun didn't want to talk to him.
Cao Tongxuan covered his mouth.
"Ahem, don't worry."
"How can you not be in a hurry? A man is a man, it hurts to start a family and start a business!"
Yingchun withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened, her face was full of indifference.
I can't stop it three times, that's all, just let fate.
Feng Ziying was baffled, but men were talking normally, why did they react so strongly, did they take the wrong medicine?Rubbing the quilt
However, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice has a tough temper, with his right hand on his chest, he is calm and unaffected by the prince's coercion.
"Your Majesty is following the emperor's instructions. Please don't blame me. You colluded with the Southwest envoys and intended to commit an accomplice to our border. Now that the Southwest envoys have fully confessed, please don't make things difficult for me."
The words were very respectful, and there were quite a few honorifics that should be given, but there was a cold light in his eyes, and his face was full of business.
Prince Zhongshun stood in the prison with his hands behind his back, as if he was in the palace.
"Absurd, this king is loyal, how could he do such a thing? There must be someone who slandered you. Instead of catching the murderer behind it, you interrogate this king here. If you delay the important matter, will you be convicted?"
Instead of giving in, the confrontation between the two sides was fruitless for a long time.
Until Cheng Qian came in from the outside.
"Master Shangshu hasn't interrogated him yet? The southwestern envoy has agreed to our terms and will bring the letter back. If the prince still refuses to confess, why not send the envoy's confession to the emperor first."
"Cheng Qian?!"
Prince Zhongshun's eyes widened in disbelief.
"How dare you betray me!"
"My lord is joking, my allegiance has always been His Majesty, how can I call it a betrayal? It's just that my lord oppressed me with power, so I had no choice but to make false claims."
Said these words indifferently, without any extra emotion on Cheng Qian's face, he turned around and said a few words to Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, father-in-law, before going out today, Yin'er said that if the palace falls, she wants to take her biological mother out to take care of her, can you agree?"
Yin'er, the former concubine of the Zhongshun Palace, is now the wife of the Cheng family.
Prince Zhongshun's eyes were about to burst.
"Unfilial girl, you two dare to join forces to plot against me!"
"That's not true. Before I got married, I only knew that Yin'er was an unfavored concubine. After I got married, I realized that she was gentle and elegant. Her mother was a civilian girl who was forcibly married by you."
Shrugging his shoulders, Cheng Qian was quite thankful, leaning against the prison fence.
"At first, I was worried that if I was not easy to get along with, I would have to keep it at home for nothing, but now it is Qin Se and Ming, thank you father-in-law, I will take good care of Yin'er in the future."
After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands and saluted, then turned around and walked away with Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice.
In the prison, Prince Zhongshun grasped the fence with both hands.
"Evil barrier, evil barrier!"
The witnesses and material evidences are all there, so Prince Zhongshun cannot deny it.The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment has his own means, so he doesn't have to use punishment to prod him twice a day, and he admits within a few days, and the testimony is sent to the imperial court.
The emperor was furious and dealt with it immediately.
After Xi'an County King, Shan Guogong, etc., Zhongshun Prince's Mansion was not spared.Because no serious mistake has been made, he was only demoted as a commoner, together with his son Zhongshun who was far away in the southwest, and another person was sent to guard the southwest.
Cheng Qian accompanied him and took full charge of the transaction with Southwest.
After the imperial decree came down, Lin Ruhai was playing chess with Lin Daiyu at home, touching his beard and sighing.
"Shangshu Hubu has been suspended. I don't know who will take over, but the next time it will probably be Cheng Qian. Although he is contradictory and strange, he never makes mistakes in major matters."
Lin Daiyu frowned and studied the chess game, and after a while she made a move.
"What's strange, as long as you have a clear conscience, wouldn't it be fine?"
"Hahaha, yes, Yu'er is still transparent. I have been an official for my father for many years, but I was corrupted by the officialdom and became complicated."
Lin Ruhai laughed and sighed, and immediately dropped the chess pieces, feeling that life after returning home would not be lonely.
So far, the high titles of the court have almost been wiped out. No matter how the inside is surging, it seems that it is quite quiet on the surface.
At the end of June, another letter was sent from Fujian, saying that the marriage was going well, and the Chief Cao and Mrs. Cao rushed there specially, and attached great importance to it.Lin Yun has become the head wife of the Cao Mansion, and Cheng Jie stayed with her for a few days, and after delivering the letter, she set off for Feiyun Villa.
The eldest daughter was not able to participate in her childhood, and she was unable to attend the marriage because of her official position. Lin Ruhai wrote a memorial overnight to resign.
The memorial was sent back the next day, and the imperial pen reviewed two large characters.
"No".
Lin Ruhai didn't sleep well for half the night, and wrote a lot of letter memorials one after another, and decided to send one up every month.
There are very few first-rank officials in the court and most of them are empty positions. Lin Ruhai is already an extremely human minister. As long as he doesn't delay serious business, the emperor will ignore the trouble.
Cheng Qian came back at the end of July, and the transaction with the Southwest went smoothly, adding a large amount of money to the treasury, and was sealed as a fourth rank.Lin Ruhai handed over a letter of resignation and was ignored by the emperor again.
After such tossing until September, when Mr. Chen was promoted to Yushi of Youdu, tied for second rank with Lin Ruhai, he still did not give up his resignation.
Mr. Chen couldn't see it and came to persuade him.
"My lord Lin, Your Majesty has a lot of trust in you. Why do you have to resign? Although I have been promoted to the second rank, the Inspectorate is still dominated by you. The imperial envoy sent out last month was still named by you. Your Majesty will approve it immediately." Playing, it can be seen that the grace is excellent."
Lin Ruhai frowned after putting down the tea bowl.
"Master Chen, you don't know. I was not in good health in the early years, and it is not easy to survive at this age. The doctor said that I should live in peace and rest. I am approaching sixty years old, and I can't be tired. I am busy with imperial envoys and caught the wind and cold. Thank you Mr. Chen for my leave."
In ancient times, 60 years old was regarded as a long life, but he called himself a sixty-year-old man just after he turned [-], isn't it a bit too anxious?
Master Chen had helplessness written all over his face.
"You have been sick for the fourth time in three months. What does a doctor do?"
As soon as the words fell, Lin An came in from the outside and saluted.
"Master, the eldest girl ordered someone to send things back from Fujian."
Lin Ruhai, who frowned and sighed a second ago, stood up energetically.
"This child, why are you giving me something again? I always think about my mother's family, and I'm not afraid of being gossiped about."
He said reproachful words on his mouth, but his face was wrinkled with a smile.Seeing all kinds of nutritious seafood being sent, he waved his hand and ordered people to send back all kinds of rare treasures, which were worth several times more.
Master Chen's mouth was twisted when he witnessed the whole process.
"Master Lin, eat less seafood if you have a cold."
"I misremembered, it's not the wind and cold, it's the tired neck that hurts."
Changing his words so quickly is not at all respectable for a second-rank official in the court.
Mr. Chen couldn't understand how Mr. Lin, who was upright from the front, turned into such a rascal, and left angrily.As soon as he entered the house, a child who had just learned to walk wobbled towards him, screaming vaguely.
"Zu...Zu Zu~"
"Hey!"
The angry face was immediately filled with a smile, and he bent down to pick up the child.
"Are you good today, did you make your mother angry? Your mother is weak and premature, so you can't make your mother angry."
Regardless of whether the child can understand or not, he smiled and educated and went back to the house.
A few days later, Nan Gongxu appeared in the capital, squatting outside Lin's mansion, and frightened the servants who went out to buy things out of their wits.
Fortunately, such things happen occasionally in half a year, and the servants reacted in a moment of shock, and hurriedly invited them in, so as to entertain them.
Lin Daiyu heard the message and came out to receive him. By the way, she asked for some medical books that she couldn't understand these days, as long as she gave him a few pots of medicinal herbs before leaving.
"Don't want this, want this."
Unexpectedly, Nan Gongxu refused Lin Daiyu's gift, groped around in his bosom, and took out a packet of seeds.
"Dispensing."
Lin Daiyu immediately understood the simple two words.
"But someone came to ask for medicine? The weather is getting colder now, it's not easy to grow herbs, I'm afraid it will take some time."
"It's okay, if you die, you can't save it."
This answer is still in the usual style, and Lin Daiyu raised her forehead when she heard it.Even if we have known each other for a long time, we cannot easily accept his indifference and disdain for human nature.
"If I can grow it, I will write to my sister-in-law."
"it is good."
Nan Gongxu nodded in agreement, stared at Lin Daiyu for a long time, and finally left with a face full of doubts.
When the snow geese came to bring the tea, there was no one there.
"Mr. Nangong is gone? He is always so mysterious every time. This man is really strange. Looking at girls is like looking at medicinal herbs."
"Don't talk nonsense, can I still be used as medicine?"
With two reprimands, Lin Daiyu went into the house with the seeds.I don't know whose life this time the seeds are concerned about, and if they are planted, one person can be saved.
Although Lin's father and daughter are concerned about their hometown, they are still busy, not perfunctory, nor empty, and they did not get the emperor's permission to resign and return home until the end of the year.
Therefore, even though Cheng Qian and his wife, Wei Ruolan and his wife, Lin Feng and Lin Yue all came to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year, Lin Ruhai was not happy, and he wrote all the resignation memorials.
Lin Daiyu quietly told Tanchun.
"During my sister's birthday, my father sent nearly a thousand taels of birthday presents. My sister gave her New Year's presents a year ago, and my father sent someone to send back double the gifts. If I stay in the capital for a long time, my family will be emptied."
Tanchun and Yin'er were full of envy. If they could choose, who wouldn't want such a father?
Before the end of the first month, Tanchun came to the mansion again.
"Lian's second sister-in-law is gone. She has been in poor health. She managed to manage the family in the past few years, but she couldn't support herself. It is inconvenient for you to go there before you leave the cabinet. I will send you a letter along the way."
Wang Xifeng, the former concubine and fairy, did not wrap herself in a straw mat after all.Although she is not the young mistress of the Duke's Mansion, she has sons and daughters and family property, and a coffin is neither beautiful nor desolate.
Lin Daiyu read several volumes of Buddhist scriptures for her, and wrote this matter in a letter to Lin Yun, and the sisters sighed with emotion.
It was February again, and Lin Daiyu was about to get married, and there was an endless stream of people coming to her door.The father and daughter were so disturbed that Lin Ruhai simply changed the monthly letter of resignation into a half-monthly letter.
The emperor was so angry that his veins broke out, he called him into the palace and scolded him secretly.Seeing that he was indeed young and persistent, he finally let go.
"I can learn from Lin Aiqing's heart, and I also feel it. However, there are very few people in the court who can be of great use. It coincides with the year of the imperial examination. Can Lin Aiqing have a good plan?"
Translated into adult words, you will be released after completing the imperial examination.
Lin Ruhai clapped his hands and was overjoyed.
"Your Majesty Shengming."
The affairs of the Procuratorate were handed over to Mr. Chen to take over, and Lin Ruhai led the people to agree on the questions of the provincial and general examinations, and handed them over to the emperor early.Then I packed my things and waited for the time to pass.
In August, the township examination was successfully held, and finally got the "Zhun Zuo".
The second year's exam was held as usual, and Lin Ruhai and the relevant personnel decided the final ranking. When students from all over the country were busy rushing to Beijing for the exam, he brought Lin Daiyu back to Yangzhou.
"I think back then when I was a father, I used to rush for the exam. Things are different."
Sitting in the carriage, looking at the passing students passing by from time to time, Lin Ruhai was filled with emotion, and put down the curtain for a while.
Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled.
"It's strange that my father didn't want to take the boat because he wanted to recall the past. I see that my father is more handsome than them."
"Haha, not entirely. It's a beautiful spring scene. Wouldn't it be a waste if we can't enjoy it on the boat? Let's walk for a few days first, and then change boats when we're tired, wouldn't it be beautiful?"
The father and daughter talked and laughed, and the ordinary-looking carriage drove out of the capital.

177. Extra Story [-]
All gods and Buddhas perform their duties.One day, Emperor Baosheng came on a cloud, passing by the Tianhe River, and saw the spirit crab shedding its shell below.
"I have a flavor medicine that lacks crab shells as a medicine. It's a coincidence."
With a chuckle, he landed and picked up the two empty shells, shaking off the sand and putting them in his sleeves.He was about to pick up the third party, but unexpectedly, the little crab had just shed its shell and was lying beside it, raising its hand with a pincer.
"Small size and temper, I use crab shells as medicine, not to catch you."
Emperor Baosheng raised his finger.
"let go."
The little crab was dangling on the fingers, not only did not let go, but the free pincers also pinched empty a few times braggingly.
"If you don't let go, I'll use you to feed the old turtle at the end of Tianhe. The little crab that has just shed its shell is fresh and tender, and it will definitely like it."
There are many creatures in Tianhe, and the little crab is bubbling with anger, reluctantly letting go and smashing himself on the ground.Shaking the pliers, he quickly dug a hole and got in.
Seeing that it was so clever, Emperor Baosheng's mind moved slightly, seeing the traces of his fingers being pinched, he pinched his fingers and counted.
"It turns out that if we can survive this calamity, you and I still have a fate."
Having collected enough crab shells in his sleeve, Emperor Baosheng walked away with a smile.
The little crab didn't know that he was leaving the ground, so it hid for a long time before sticking its head out, only to find that the Tianhe River was ebbing, and the golden crow's light had dried the soil by the river, making it hard and dry.
The other crabs around had already returned to the Tianhe, only it was scared by Emperor Baosheng and hid underground, missing the hour.
The heat of the Golden Crow shone on its body, and it could already feel the loss of water in its body.Climbing towards the direction of Tianhe with the fastest speed, but still unable to avoid the shining of the Golden Crow.
The body temperature was getting higher and higher, and the speed was getting slower and slower. Just when it thought it would be sunburned to death, a shadow appeared in front of it.Immediately crawled over desperately, shrunk in the shadow corner, only to find that it was a big rock.
Whatever it is, it's safe for now.
Seeing the light chasing after it, the little crab wished he could get under the rock.
But this stone is huge and hard, and the Golden Crow has no influence on it, only the shadows to hide in are getting smaller and smaller.
"Kakkaka."
The crab claws knocked on the stone uneasily, but they couldn't stop Jinwu.
The last trace of water in the body seemed to have evaporated, and half of the little crab's body was exposed to the golden crow's light, and it was dazed and unable to move.
After an unknown period of time, the little crab found that he could still move, the sky also became dark, and the golden crow had long gone.
Shaking off the dirt on his body and crawling out from the stone, he saw many fairy grasses around him staring at it.
"Crack!"
Threatened by the two big pincers flaunting their might, the fairy grass with red fruits trembled twice, and two fruits fell on its head.
The sufficient moisture in the fruit allows the little crab to gnaw regardless of picking it up. After gnawing, it regains its energy and dances its pincers.
"Kakakakaka!"
The grass jelly stretched out its trembling leaves, but before it touched it, it was grabbed by the pliers.
"Crack!"
The good-hearted fairy grass was cut off a leaf, so frightened that it shivered while protecting its own fruit.The other grass jelly also shrank, afraid of these two sharp guys.
"Crack!"
Little Crab won the game, looked left and right to see if there was no Golden Crow, and ran in the direction of the sound of the river, and it was unlikely to get into the Tianhe River and disappear.
The stars have changed, and it has been a hundred years since Emperor Baosheng came to the Tianhe River again, and the Tianhe River has once again ebbed.
Picking and picking some needed things, passing by a piece of slightly withered jelly grass, and stopping.
"The celestial grass that has not yet developed spiritual wisdom actually has divine consciousness, and it bears red fruits. Let me call you Crimson Pearl."
Touch the leaves, pick a few red fruits, and leave again.
A few years later, the Milky Way grew back, and the spirit grass was luxuriant, and the crimson pearl swayed in the wind and became a school of its own.It happened that Shenying's waiter walked by and was attracted by its figure.
"There are such beautiful fairy grasses beside the Tianhe River. The river is far away. Let me water them for you."
The more I look at it, the more I like it. Since then, the waiter of Shenying has brought nectar from other places to water it every day.
The nectar water contains the essence of heaven and earth, and the crimson pearl gradually develops its wisdom, and it is not enough to transform into a human form, and then see the head monk and the lame Taoist coming straight...
"Snow geese!"
Lin Daiyu woke up from her dream, still in shock.
The snow geese next to her didn't even care to put on their clothes, so they just put them on and ran over.
"What's the matter, girl, are you having a nightmare?"
"I, I seem to see those two monks and priests, they came to me and wanted to take me away."
Her expression was in a daze, Lin Daiyu clearly hadn't heard from them for a long time, let alone seen them, but the moment she saw them in her dream, she felt a chilling sense of crisis in her heart, even though she woke up with a chill on her body.
Xueyan touched her forehead, confirmed that she was fine and helped her to lie down.
"Where are there any monks or priests? We haven't heard from them for several years since we returned to Yangzhou. It must be because the girl hasn't slept well and is thinking wildly."
While talking, he tucked up the quilt for her, and covered his mouth and yawned.
"Miss, do you want to drink some water? You haven't had a dream for a long time. It may be because you were tired from distributing medicinal materials a few days ago. Let the doctor take a look tomorrow."
"Maybe so, there is no need to pour water, you go back to sleep."
Sending the snow geese back, Lin Daiyu tightly quilted, thinking about the monk and Taoist in her dream, and suddenly realized that she couldn't remember what happened before she met the monk or Taoist.Although it was a very long dream, she could only remember the moment before she woke up.
It’s weird.
As the night was still dark, Lin Daiyu yawned and followed after a while.
On the morning of the second day, Xueyan helped her dress up and said casually.
"It's said that dreaming is not good. After breakfast, please ask the doctor to come and see. The girl must be too tired. She prescribed some soothing decoctions."
"Who is dreaming?"
Lin Daiyu put on rouge and asked casually.
Xueyan was still holding the hairpin in her hand, she paused, and turned her head to see that Lin Daiyu didn't seem to be joking.
"Girl, you had a dream last night, don't you remember? You also said that you dreamed of monk Laitou and a lame Taoist."
"When did I dream, what are you talking about, girl?"
Putting down the rouge, Lin Daiyu looked at what was lacking in her makeup in the mirror, picked up the copper daisy and brushed her eyebrows lightly, as if she really didn't remember what happened last night.
Xueyan was even more puzzled, but said.
"I got up to drink water last night, and when I heard the girl turning over, I thought it was a dream. After breakfast, I asked the doctor to come over and take the girl's pulse, and show me, too. I seem to have caught a cold yesterday."
"If that's the case, call the doctor to take a look. You can't be careless when you're sick."
After finishing her makeup, Lin Daiyu got up to take care of her clothes, but when she was about to go out, she remembered something.
"By the way, Feiyun Villa sent a letter saying that people from Nangong's family have come these few days. I think it's raining, and I told the servants not to pour the herbs."
"Hey, don't worry, girl."
With a clear promise, Xue Yan heaved a sigh of relief.
Forgetting dreams is a common thing, as long as you don't forget anything else.
The two master and servant went to greet Lin Ruhai and had breakfast together. As soon as they returned to the backyard, the sky turned cloudy.
Xueyan poked her head out of the window.
"Earlier, the girl said it was going to rain, but it came so soon. Sure enough, it is rainy in spring. If the sea tide rises, the eldest girl will send a lot of seafood. By the way, on the girl's birthday, the eldest girl will send pearls back. I just picked out the ones that were not round, let's grind them into powder."
During the rainy season, Lin Daiyu would always look for something to entertain her. Lin Daiyu nodded in agreement, and Xueyan immediately took the maids to find out the pearls and tools and put them on the table.It was raining lightly outside, and everyone in the house was making pearl powder.
The rain didn't stop, and suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
Xueyan wiped her hands and took out the oil-paper umbrella from the side.
"What's the matter at this time, is it possible that the master is staying in the private school and not coming back?"
Whispering, holding an umbrella, he went to open the courtyard door, but saw a drowned man standing there.
"Oh, when did Mr. Nangong come? Why didn't the boy outside spread the word. Chunxian, prepare towels and hot water!"
Nan Gongxu held the porcelain jar in his arms, didn't mind the rain on his body at all, was taken into the empty room in the west wing by the girls, dried his hair and changed into clean clothes before going to the main room to meet Lin Daiyu.
"good stuff."
Squeeze the pearl powder, put it on the tip of the pen to sniff, then grab it and taste it.
Lin Daiyu hurriedly asked someone to bring him a new jar and put some pearl powder in it.
"This is a pearl sent back by my sister. My sister-in-law also has it. Why don't you act like you haven't seen it before?"
"No."
Nan Gongxu opened his mouth to deny, carefully stuffed the jar full of pearl powder into his arms, and stuffed the porcelain jar he brought to Lin Daiyu.
"My master gave it to you."
"When did you have a master? Last time, my sister-in-law said that Uncle Nangong asked you to go back and teach the younger generation in the clan, but you didn't want to go."
He occasionally appears and disappears, Lin Daiyu mostly heard about it from Nan Gongyu, and he managed to connect intermittently.
"No, it's too stupid, I won't teach."
He curled his lips in disgust, his mission here has been completed, he turned around to see that there was nothing of interest in the room, and walked towards the medicine garden.
Xueyan just put down the umbrella and picked it up again.
"Young Master Nangong, it's raining, come back soon!"
I chased him out and wanted to give him an umbrella, but how could I catch up?I can only ask two young men to follow with umbrellas.
Lin Daiyu looked at the porcelain pot, raised her head and smiled.
"He likes water the most. What's the rain? The last time I caught an old turtle in the river, my sister-in-law didn't take it too seriously. Why are you worried?"
"It's okay to be in Feiyun Villa, you can't catch a cold here?"
Xueyan had no choice but to ask people to stare at Nan Gongxu, and ordered people to cook ginger soup for later use.Regardless of whether it can be used or not, at least the Lin family has intentions.
It's just that I haven't figured it out for so many years, how can such a young talent with excellent medical skills behave like a stubborn idiot in dealing with others?Fortunately, he came from the Nangong family. If he was in other families, he might be regarded as a fool.
"Girl, don't just smile, take a quick look at what's in the jar, if it's muddy, don't put it in the house."
"Let me take a look. Could it be altar medicinal wine?"
Lin Daiyu shook the jar lightly, and when she heard the sound coming from inside, her face showed doubts.Open the seal, but there is no smell of alcohol, it is refreshing, as if it is just ordinary white water.
Can't see the name, try dipping your fingers to pick up some fine products on the tip of your tongue.
"It seems to be dew, which is strange. Why send dew all the way?"
Still can't figure it out, seeing the sound of the rain outside getting louder without any intention of stopping, he simply ordered someone to move out of the stove.
"It's cold in the spring, so it's better to boil water and make tea. Xueyan, you take two jars to collect some rainwater, and store it with last year's snow water, waiting for summer drinking."
"Hey, I'll go right now."
In the evening, the rain that lasted for half a day finally stopped. Lin Ruhai came back from the private school and smelled the fresh fragrance of tea before entering the backyard.
"You've only been out for a day, where did you get good tea?"
"It's not good tea, it's good water."
Lin Daiyu took water from the fire with a smile, made tea with her own hands and handed it over.
"Brother Nangong came here today and brought a jar of dew, which is better than the dew on plum blossoms. You should try it."

178. Extra Story [-]
"My lord, the carriage is ready."
The boy came in from outside the courtyard, stood in front of the door, bowed and shouted.
After a while, Cao Tongxuan came out, dressed in everyday attire.
"My lady hasn't packed it yet, wait a minute. Are all the presents packed?"
"Yes, everything is ready."
Cao Tongxuan nodded, ordered the boy to go out and wait, and turned back by himself.Going around the screen to the inside, a few girls are busy, and the woman surrounded by them is doing a woman's hairstyle.
"If you don't call me when you get up early today, what if it's late?"
"What's the rush, just make it to the full moon banquet."
After waving the girl back, Cao Tongxuan came forward to choose the hairpin himself, his eyes lingering in the mirror.
"My wife is so pretty, she can wear any hairpin, just this one."
After speaking, he put the hairpin on the hairpin and admired it by himself.
Lin Yun stretched out his hand to fine-tune the angle of the hairpin, and smiled back at him.
"Since I gave this hairpin for my birthday last year, I have to take it with me every time I go out. You are not tired of looking at it, but everyone else is tired of looking at it."
"It's none of their business if I give it to my wife? I'll give it a new one this year and wear it differently."
After finishing speaking as a matter of course, Cao Tongxuan took the opportunity to take a sip.
"So lovely."
"Get up and drive, it's going to be a waste of time."
The two dawdled in the room for half an hour, and finally cleaned up.I didn't have time for breakfast, so I had a few snacks before setting off for the Governor's Mansion in Fujian.
"I've only been in Fujian for the second year, and Yingchun's sister has given birth to her second child. Why are they in such a hurry?"
Today is going to attend the Spring Festival Children's Full Moon Banquet.In just two or three years, almost all the sisters back then became mothers.After thinking about it, Lin Yun was quite emotional.
Cao Tongxuan leaned over and put his arms around her shoulders.
"Why, are you in a hurry too?"
"Go go!"
She looked up and waited for him, but was held even tighter.
"The elder sister-in-law said that women who give birth too early are not good for their health. We are both young, and the two elders did not urge us to wait a few years."
Although it is only the second year of marriage, Cao Tongxuan explained this in advance.
He is not the only heir in the family, and he has no obsession with children. After hearing Nan Gongyu say that women who give birth prematurely will shorten their lifespan, he bluntly said that he will wait until Lin Yun is 20 years old before thinking about children.
How many men in this era can say this?
Lin Yun shrinks into his arms.
"It's your acquaintance."
Arriving at the Fujian Governor's Mansion, it was already full of guests.Cao Tongxuan went to the front yard to be with the men, while Lin Yun went to the backyard to see Yingchun.
"Madam Cao is here, please come inside."
Siqi's standardized smile showed a sincere smile, and he told the girls and women to treat guests carefully, and personally took Lin Yun to the backyard.
"You are here, my wife has been nagging since just now, saying that I will invite you in when you come."
"How is her health? The first child is just two years away and she gave birth again, so she needs to take good care of her."
Lin Yun asked casually, but Siqi's smile deepened.
"The guests who come and go are concerned about the master and my brother, and the first sentence you said was concerned about our wife. Don't worry, the master specially invited a doctor to come, and said that the girl's bones will recover quickly, but after this child, she must take care of her for a few years. "
Seeing that there was no one around, he quietly leaned over to tease.
"The master also said that he would not have children in the future, and was stared at by his wife several times."
"It's good to be able to say that."
The two of them talked and walked around inside, Yingchun had finished dressing and was hugging the baby, when they saw the two coming in, they hurriedly handed the baby to the nanny.
"You're here. I was planning to go outside to welcome guests, but the master forbids me to go. Maybe there's no way to joke outside."
"Jokes on the lips, but I don't know what envy looks like in my heart. Why do they care? You are the governor's wife anyway, who dares to talk gossip to you?"
The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. Unless the imperial court sends another vassal to guard it, the biggest official here is Feng Ziying.Lin Yun scoffed, just teasing the child.
Although Yingchun has a dull temper, after all, she was raised by Jiamu's side, and she has been the "First Lady" in Fujian for several years, so she has a certain momentum.Hearing what she said, Xiaoxiao stopped reasoning and turned to ask Siqi.
"The guests have arrived? What does the master say?"
"Return to Madam, Mother You is entertaining outside. You can go out when the time comes. The master is entertaining guests in front, and I ask you not to be tired."
Third Sister You followed Yingchun to Fujian, where she rested from her thoughts of getting married, and simply started grooming herself early on as a nun, and is now the chief steward of the inner courtyard of the Governor's Mansion.
"Got it, you go out and watch, I'm talking to my eldest sister."
Sending Siqi out to stare, Yingchun's whole body exudes tranquility and happiness from the inside out.
"In the early years, I felt lonely in Fujian alone. Now that I have sons and daughters, you also come here. In the future, I will not worry about having no one to talk to. I even received a full moon gift from my third sister and sister Daiyu."
Since she was a child, she was not a lucky person, nor was she a greedy person. She was already content with being able to live like this.
Lin Yun looked at her with emotion in his heart.This wasn't the most perfect ending, but for her, it was something she dared not dream of.That's fine.
"It's also for the child, why are you happy? Can you think of a name?"
On a happy day, I wanted to talk about some pleasant topics, but just after I finished speaking, Yingchun's face became strange, and he opened and closed his lips for a long time before he spoke.
"The master said, let the elder brother be called Feng Zhansheng, and give the younger sister a nickname, Feng Haihai, and said that the girl's double word is nice."
What's the name of this?Lin Yun opened his mouth wide, speechless.
Yingchun showed pain on his face.
"I said the name was not good and asked him to choose another one. He said that my sister's name is Feng Xingxing, as bright as the stars in the sky..."
"Pfft."
Lin Yun couldn't hold it back, turned around and laughed until his shoulders shook, and stopped for a long time.
"Does your father-in-law know this name?"
"I know, my father-in-law wrote to him and scolded him, asked me to name him, and said that he would break his legs if he dared to bark."
Thinking of the indecent words in the letter, the corners of Yingchun's mouth twitched again.
Both father-in-law and husband are good everywhere, but they are a little reckless.But although the father-in-law is reckless, he is still well-read in poetry and books. How come his own husband can't even think of a name?
Lin Yun became more and more overjoyed, laughing until Siqi came in and asked the two of them to sit at the table.
There were many guests at the full moon banquet, and they all praised the Spring Festival.
"This is my brother, and it was carved out of the same mold as Mr. Feng."
"Look at the strength of your hands and feet, and you will definitely do something in the future."
Yingchun thanked her with a light smile, and ordered Third Sister You to lead everyone to their seats.
"The baby is full moon, and I have to thank you all for coming to celebrate. It is not a respect to prepare some thin wine, thank you in advance."
Raise the wine glass and drink lightly, which is regarded as a tribute.
The guests toasted and drank one after another, and the banquet was lively and noisy.
After a while, the eldest sister came over with the nanny, pulling the corner of Yingchun clothes, with a soft voice full of eagerness.
"Mother, younger brother, younger brother."
The two-year-old was slurring his words, but his small eyes searched for his mother.Yingchun immediately picked her up and leaned over to see her younger brother.
"This is the younger brother, little one, you see. The eldest sister is still beautiful."
Rubbing her daughter's face, Yingchun smiled happily.
The two ladies below exchanged glances.
"I gave birth to a daughter for the first time, and I thought she would fall out of favor, yet she gave birth to a son so soon."
"No, why do I look at her as if I love my daughter more?"
"Whatever it is that she loves, Master Feng must love his son. How can a man dislike his son? I heard that Master Zhao brought two singers to give to Master Feng."
"Really? There's a good show to watch."
They muttered and thought that no one could hear them, but they didn't know that Lin Yun who was sitting behind them could hear them clearly.
After the full moon banquet, the guests left, and Feng Ziying came back from the front yard, impatient to see her son.
"Why do I watch this kid grow up again? Madam, put it down quickly and hold the weight. The doctor said you need to rest well."
He took his son from Yingchun and teased him for a while, then suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, someone sent a few women here, you look at the arrangement. I heard that singing is good, ask them to entertain you."
Smiling and talking, he didn't take those women seriously at all, squatting down and handing his son to his daughter.
"My sister came to see my younger brother. You look like your mother, and your younger brother looks like your father. In the future, you will definitely look better than your younger brother."
"How can a man say that he is good-looking? Stop talking nonsense, my brother should be like you, handsome and handsome."
Husband and wife hugged their children and praised each other.
Lin Yun heard a toothache, and moved to Cao Tongxuan's side.
"Let's go back, do you have anything else to do?"
"I wanted to discuss some military strategies, but seeing that he is not available, let's try another day."
After muttering a few words, the two moved out.He was spotted by Feng Ziying when he got to the door.
"What are you doing back home? The crowd was so noisy and impatient. Let's have a drink later. I'm not a brother urging you to see that I have both children. When will you have one? Hurry up, we can be in-laws in the future."
After finishing speaking, he went to grab Cao Tongxuan, and just touched him, but found Lin Yun staring at him quietly.
"Just take care of yourself."
"That's what I said, but I just want to remind you a few words. If there is no movement after three years of marriage, people outside should gossip. Why are you pinching me?"
Feng Ziying raised her arm, revealing the waist pinched by Yingchun.
Yingchun coughed twice to cover it up, and handed her son and daughter to the nanny to take them out.
"I persuade you because you are my brother, and I don't care about others. If you don't come sooner, you... ouch, why are you pinching me again?"
His hand was stronger than last time, Feng Ziying grinned and dodged, but Yingchun didn't want to talk to him.
Cao Tongxuan covered his mouth.
"Ahem, don't worry."
"How can you not be in a hurry? A man is a man, it hurts to start a family and start a business!"
Yingchun withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened, her face was full of indifference.
I can't stop it three times, that's all, just let fate.
Feng Ziying was baffled, but men were talking normally, why did they react so strongly, did they take the wrong medicine?Rubbing the quilt
