Chapter 73(1/2)
After nearly two months of separation, Lin Yian stared at the letter. Her delicate little calligraphy divided a lot of thoughts accumulated over the past few days.
He sat in front of the windowsill and read no word seriously.
The soft light of the candlelight was faintly inside the lampshade, and his eyebrows were covered with tenderness that was about to overflow, and he laughed a little from time to time. When he read her difficulties, he would frown and think, and he would change his position, deeply felt the little girl's efforts and tenacity.
The last two pages of the letter were all about her chattering about family matters, such as Su Lin scared a lady who was crying, Zhongyi Hou was injured again on the battlefield, the magistrate's wife was smart and difficult to get along with, etc. Then she was concerned about him, asking him how his leg was injured, whether his mother was embarrassed by him again, and whether she had gone out to attract bees and butterflies everywhere.
Lin Yian laughed, but he thought he was too romantic and unruly.
At the end, it is a neat poem - thinking of you is like flowing water, how can you be exhausted?
His laughter was pleasant, and his lovesickness was satisfied at this moment.
When he was about to look at it again, he found that there was something in the envelope.
I used my fingers to get it out, and then took out a separate piece of letter paper, which solemnly wrote that the letter was reunion, the joy of the crown, and the pine and cypress were in the spring.
The smile at the corner of Lin Yian's mouth fell slightly and rose again.
She was counting the letter she sent by time. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the next day is his birthday.
I was afraid that he would be so sad when he was deserted during the holidays.
Su Mei's goodness is always reflected in all kinds of delicateness. Lin Yian always wants to sigh at what he is capable of...
He warmed his heart and read the letter again, letting the stone take paper and pen, and while thinking, he finished writing, discussing with her how to teach the people of the border to solve the problem of fishing.
After writing his own opinions, he started a new page of letter paper. He first told her about Su Qin's pregnancy in the past two months since she arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion. Then he told her about her family affairs.
He actually didn't encounter any difficulties in the month he was in the mansion. Princess Jiaxi had another fight with Duke Wei after he left. Her father was firm in his attitude towards his affairs and did not allow his mother to make decisions privately. After the couple had a fight, they separated directly, which was almost incompatible.
His legitimate mother was also completely disappointed and ignored him since then. However, the second wife often sent people to ask him what he needed, and divided the eldest wife's power in half and started to get along everywhere in the mansion.
He wrote down everything at home in detail and finally asked her, "You can understand your eyebrows and eyebrows."
Lin Yian put down the pen, stared at the four words he asked, and smiled. A narrow light flashed in Feng's eyes, and her coquettish style was depicted in her mind.
I guess she would probably spit herself.
He blew the ink on the paper carefully and prepared a wax seal to let Shitou take the person who sent the Su family to the morning of the morning. However, he found the envelope and received a message.
——Su Qin actually slipped!
Lin Yian looked at the person who was sending the message in front of the curfew behind the table and frowned: "But really? How did you know this news?"
It is difficult to put a spy in the Yu Palace unless it is deliberately promoted by King Yu.
The visitor said: "It was Miss Su who met her mother, Du, today. Miss Zikui was staring at them and heard from people around Du."
He asked again: "No news came out of the Yu Prince's Mansion?"
The visitor nodded and said yes.
Lin Yian was scheming when he heard this, and asked the stone to protect the man from leaving, leaning himself in the chair to ponder.
He knew that King Yu would definitely not keep Su Qin's fetus. Tomorrow it was a palace banquet. Although Su Qin would not enter and exit the palace, King Yu would definitely give the emperor an explanation.
Because the emperor accepted Su Qin, he had been tying and slamming him intentionally or unintentionally recently, and King Yu would not not understand that his father was still suspicious of the previous incident and Su Qin, so it was inevitable that Su Qin would be dissipated.
But the Prince Yu's Mansion was secretly revealed after the fetus was dissatisfied?
Was Su Qin not telling King Yu, or did King Yu deliberately not say it?
If it is intentional, is there any other statement here?
He wanted to be immersed in a moment, then looked up and saw the letter he wrote, and took out the paper and grind the ink again.
Of course, Su Mei still has to tell Su Mei that even if there is anything, his news will be sent to the military camp one step faster than that of King Yu or Du.
The next morning, the letter was sent away. Lin Yian also got up early. It was Duke Wei who sent him to prepare for his ancestor worship together.
On the day of worshiping ancestors, each room must first go to the ancestral hall to clean up and arrange tributes in person.
Originally, except for the New Year's Day, he never participated in the other things, but Duke Wei insisted on raising Mr. Lin San's status at home, and this year he asked him to pass.
He thought about it and said that except for unhappy his mother, there was no harm to him, so he agreed.
Besides, he knew clearly that he could not leave the Lin family yet. If he could win more prestige in the mansion, he would try to pave the way for the future.
After washing and breakfast, he went to the outer courtyard to find his father. The Duke of Weiguo left his concubine to serve him with breakfast. When he saw him, he smiled and then said with regret.
"How did the miracle doctor say that when will your legs be healed? It's rare that His Majesty the Palace Banquet let all his family participate. You missed it again."
After Lin Yian returned to Beijing, he must have been sitting in a chariot and did not tell outsiders that his leg injury had recovered.
He didn't feel any regrets when he heard this.
Now is not the time for him to show off. These difficult days have made him understand more than anyone else about keeping a low profile.
He smiled faintly: "It will always be better."
The Duke of Wei sighed as if comforting himself: "Yes, it will always be better. It would be even better if you can catch up with the imperial examination, and it will be next year!"
He actually had infinite expectations for him.
Lin Yian could probably understand his father's intention.
He had a leg injury and was definitely not suitable for holding a military position again. Even if he could change military officers by grace, he had not developed. He had been a juren for a long time, so it would be better to go directly to the officialdom.
The father and son slowly headed towards the ancestral hall, and Princess Jiaxi was surrounded by her son, daughter-in-law and a junior.
While walking, she ordered her to pay attention when entering the palace later. She was still thinking about Liu Si at this time, thinking that she must find a way to talk to the wife of the Liu family today.
I had to enter the palace at noon, and the ancestor worship was going very quickly, and everything dispersed.
When Lin Yian saw his legitimate mother, he suddenly remembered Liu Silai, so he wrote to him, telling him not to be careless and to be careful not to ask others to stick to him.
But after the letter was sent out, he actually attracted the person directly!
It was still a breeze and came with a carriage of thanks.
When Lin Yian was invited to the hall, Liu Si was excited and walked up to hold his hand and said, "I should have come to thank you for helping me on the street earlier. If there is anything difficult for the third brother in the future, just come and find Brother Yu, and you will definitely do it for you."
Third brother... foolish brother?
Liu Si was so stupid that he didn't realize he was taking advantage of himself?!
He just leveled his seniority and called his brother?!
Lin Yian used his palms to squeeze his bones tightly and smiled, "Why is Mr. Liu so polite?" After that, he lowered his voice, "You are repaying kindness with grudges!"
But in a moment, he realized Liu Si’s intention.
He is a peer to him and has the so-called kindness of saving others. No matter how strong his mother is, she must be cautious in her face and cannot throw away the girl from the generation 4 of the short Liusi.
This completely cut off his legitimate mother's path to the Liu family.
But when Lin Yian used him as a springboard, he wanted to kick Liu Si at this time. And is it suitable for the two of them to interact now? Isn’t Liu Xiang afraid that his mother will find another way to join the Liu family and then join the Liu family, and that will be attached to King Yu!
Liu Si's bones were clattered by his force, and he wanted to shout in pain, but he could only smile: "Third brother is you polite, why are you calling the fourth son?"
There were outsiders next to him, and Lin Yian couldn't be too angry even though he let go and asked Liu Si to sit down politely.
He wanted to see how Liu Si would arrange a story about saving each other.
As for Liu Si, he had already thought about it and told the story of no mistakes at all, and told it to the Lin family outside.
Lin Yian sneered in his heart when he heard this month. He had gone out two doors this month, and once he met someone to be kidnapped. He realized that he deliberately used a carriage to disturb them, and then passed on the message to save him. He treated the foot of the imperial city as a bandit nest, and it was vivid and vivid, so he almost believed it!
But that day he was indeed shocked by the carriage, and he made a good article.
Things can be accomplished, but Lin Yian became even more angry. Liu Si's goal was achieved and Yi Gong Banquet was in a hurry to say goodbye. He smiled and greeted him without a smile, and sent him out. Then Liu Si begged for mercy: "Third Master, I have nothing to do. And my grandfather said, "Your Highness will have nothing to do with your family next year. Your Highness also means this. Besides, you are not allowed to be liked by your legitimate mother in the Lin family. Even if the emperor knows that we are in contact with each other, he will not think too much. Duke Wei will thank me! Am I also helping to restore the image of your Lin family rebelling with King Yu in the eyes of the emperor?"
"The next day, Lin held a banquet. Thank you, Mr. Liu Si!" Lin Yi'an Feng's eyes slanted and drove the person away.
Liu Si went out and felt comfortable all over.
Don’t be too happy if you can plot against Lin Yian!
Let’s see how the old pious woman in the Lin family has any idea of him, unless the old pious woman asks her to beg for the concubine’s son she looks down upon the most!
If it weren't for being at the gate of the Lin family, Liu Si would have wanted to laugh three times to the sky.
Soon, Princess Jiaxi learned about this and was so angry that she was trembling: "That's a sinful seed born to defeat me!"
A good road, why did it break like this!
Liu Si had no worries, but Lin Yian felt a headache and had the illusion that he was driven to the shelves. Liu Shoufu was not afraid of beating him to death.
There was a small accident on Lin Yi'an's side, and Su Mei was serving porridge in the county town.
On the 15th of today, she agreed with the magistrate that the porridge for noon will be distributed by the Su family, and prepared salted duck eggs for everyone to send one.
Someone has reported what she has done here.
"The Su girl is rich and powerful. She is still giving out salted duck eggs today. She doesn't know that those unruly people will be snatched up and will rely on us in the future!"
The magistrate waved his fan and admired a landscape painting he had just bought, and said sarcastically: "Let her send her, it's better to send her a few more times to let her know that these troublemakers are ungrateful wolves who are not well-off. If something happens, I will have the opportunity to take advantage of the Zhongyi Marquis. The Su family army has been stationed for a long time and never interacts with the government. It's so arrogant."
"Not." The confidant who reported the report followed and smiled.
The magistrate was close to Su Mei and had a small abacus in his heart, but he didn't know that Su Mei's abacus in his heart was bigger than him. Xiaoyuan had learned a lot of things among the refugees and reported to her one by one.
"Girl, we were indeed cheated by the magistrate's wife. She used us some money to buy rice, and the books were correct, but every time we gave it was porridge with little water. We heard rumors of a bowl of water and ten grains of rice, but now it seems that it is not an exaggeration."
