A visit to Fangchun

But Tanchun sent off Aunt Li and others, and immediately went to Nan'an Palace with Lin Daiyu, taking only Mother Xu and Mother Shen, in a car.

The day before, Mother Jia asked someone to hand over the post, so Concubine Nan'an and Mrs. Guogong made preparations early.When the two of them came, the Duke's wife smiled, took Lin Daiyu's hand, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, when I heard that you were coming, I ordered someone to make glutinous rice balls, which were your favorite food last time."

Concubine Nan'an leaned over and waved to Tanchun: "Is your grandmother finally willing to let you visit me? It's true! It's as if there are monsters in my house who can eat you, so they won't come to visit me for a long time! "

Tanchun pursed his lips and smiled, bowed his knees and saluted, and said: "The concubine likes to joke. It's only the beginning of February now, the last time I came to the mansion to pay New Year's greetings was last month!"

Lin Daiyu has become much more lively since she recognized Mrs. Lu as her adoptive mother. Now that she heard this, she couldn't help laughing mischievously: "It can be seen that the empress dowager loves you. Isn't this a common saying, seeing each other every day is like three autumns?"

Mrs. Duke burst out laughing, and said to Concubine Nan'an with a smile: "It seems that Mrs. Lu really loves Miss Lin, but she has lived in Feng's house for more than a month, look, she looks much better than when she came back last time!"

Concubine Nan'an had already pulled Tanchun to sit beside her, and while carefully looking at Tanchun's clothes, she hummed: "The wolves of Jia's family, it's good if they didn't chew up my sister. You still expect them to treat the child How good is it to raise it? It can't be compared with Lu's. If you think about Feng Ziying who often hangs out with Hong'er, and think about what Sister Yun is like outside, you will know how much Lu's loves the child. Then he said to Tanchun: "Your grandmother has done this right by herself in the past ten years!"

I can't take that.

Tanchun smiled and said nothing.

Mrs. Guo Gong pulled Lin Daiyu and said with a smile: "The two girls you met at our house last time are both due to get married next month. They originally came to stay with me for a few days, but they were leaving yesterday. I heard that you came here today, and said that I wanted to see you no matter what. Let's go, let your third sister accompany the concubine, and you can walk behind me."

Daiyu smiled and hurriedly stood up: "This is a great congratulation. It's just that I came in a hurry, and I didn't even prepare two gifts for them. Forget it, I will send it to you as soon as I return home. Please pass it on to me again!"

The Duke's wife fully agreed, and sure enough, she took her out.

Tanchun then smiled at Xu Momo and Shen Momo: "You two, please go with Sister Lin. I'm here with the concubine, it doesn't matter."

Nanny Shen hesitated a bit, but was pulled by Nanny Xu before she bowed her knees and said yes, then turned and followed Lin Daiyu.

Concubine Nan'an is so shrewd, she waved away everyone when she saw this, and asked with a smile: "Do you have anything to tell me?"

Tanchun stood up, took out Mother Jia's handwritten letter from his sleeve, and presented it to Concubine Nan'an with both hands, bowing his head and saying, "Originally, such things should not bother you. But now at our house, our master is not at home, Madam A little uncomfortable; the elder over there is even worse, he is reluctant to let his son go. When the old lady got angry, she asked me to come to you in private to see if I could think of a way."

Concubine Nan'an's heart is clear.

This is Jia's mother making preparations.

"That's about the same! I said that even if she is old and confused, she shouldn't be able to react today!" Concubine Nan'an nodded with satisfaction, and raised her voice to order: "Go, call Hong'er's father in for me. "

He chattered to Tanchun again: "You don't know how decisive your grandmother was when she was young. I had high vision at that time, and all the girls in the capital saw it, and only your grandmother could make me see it. Only since you Grandpa is gone, and she has been ill for more than a year. It was easy to recover, and she became dizzy again. I was so angry that I ignored her for many years. It wasn’t that time when Min’er passed away. I invited her to my house to relieve boredom. I'm afraid it's not good to break up friendship like this."

Tanchun smiled: "The ancestors have all experienced big winds and waves, in fact, they all have a mirror in their hearts. It's just that every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and they are a little troublesome, so it's not enough for outsiders to understand."

Just as he was talking, Nan'an made an announcement.

Toffee hurriedly let him in.

This Duke of Nan'an is two years younger than today, but now he is only in his early forties.Because the king of Nan'an County left early, he inherited the title at a young age.At that time, the court was in turmoil, so Concubine Nan'an was not in a hurry to marry him.Generally, in the Xungui family in the capital, the men married when they were in their twenties.However, the Duke of Nan'an married the current wife of the Duke until the age of 24.

Seeing Tanchun present, Mr. Nan'an was a little dazed.

The concubine hurriedly smiled and told him: "This is the one I told you about, the third lady of the Jia family."

Tan Chun bowed to him in an orderly manner, with his back straight, calm and at ease: "I have seen Mr. Nan'an."

Mr. Nan'an's expression was slightly concentrated, and he raised his hand for a moment: "The third girl is free. Please sit down."

Concubine Nan'an ordered him to sit down too, told him what Jia's mother was asking, and said, "I don't care what you do, I have to do it anyway."

Hearing this, Tanchun just wanted to roll his eyes, but he still had to sit upright, neither humble nor overbearing.

Mr. Nan'an was very indifferent, he squinted his beard and asked after thinking for a while, "I remember that your uncle, Mr. Lin, was an official in Weiyang?"

Tanchun nodded slightly: "Yes."

Mr. Nan'an nodded and said: "Since there is already a fifth-rank co-prefect on him, although he can't be promoted, it is best not to drop. I just heard from the Ministry of Officials that a co-prefect just died at the magistrate of Yangzhou. Then They chattered and said that he didn't have any competent people for a while, so this year's grain tax was reduced by 60%, which was rejected by the superiors. Although Mr. Lin has been gone for a few years, I think your Jia family should be there. It also has something to do with it. You might as well let your cousin pick it up and use it. The magistrate of Yangzhou is also in his [-]s this year, and his energy is really low. If your cousin can make progress, you don’t have to worry about not having a good one in the future future."

Tanchun listened, gradually startled.

Needless to say, these words of Mr. Nan'an must be the emperor's intention.

Since the emperor can tell that Jia's family still has something to do with it, it means that the few guards who followed Lin Ruhai back then have long been aware of Jia's hidden influence on Lin Ruhai.

Now, the emperor is asking the Jia family to hand over this part of the dark power.

Is this—a certificate of approval?

If he wanted to get out of the quagmire of Rongning Second Mansion in the capital, he should use the Jia family's intricate connections in the south of the Yangtze River to court affairs.

Tanchun gritted his teeth, nodded, and said, "Mr. Nan'an's kind words, my daughter will definitely pass them on to my brother. It's my brother's first time planning a foreign affair. I'm afraid there are countless omissions. If Mr. Nan'an has time, I hope I can give you some pointers."

It turned out that they agreed to all of them without refusing a single word?

Mr. Nan'an raised his eyebrows, and turned his eyes on Tanchun seriously.
