145 The Seventh Lady 15
He had been concerned about Huo Weilou's safety before. If today, Zi was determined to seize power, which made Bo Ruoyou's already heavy haze deeper. Huo Weilou went south to clear the poison of golden ointment and save all the people in the southwest from water and fire. But when his life and death were unpredictable, the emperor was only concerned about the power in his hands.
The coldness spread to Bo Ruoyou's heart. She knew that the power of heaven was unpredictable. She also understood that Huo Weilou had been afraid of people for many years, and deep down in her heart, she was even more afraid that these fears would turn into a wind and frost sword and pounce on Huo Weilou at this time.
Or is it that someone was already murdered when he encountered the danger in the southwest?
Bo Ruoyou's heart was filled with a layer of fine chills, and his face turned pale. Sun Zhao sighed when he saw this, "The Marquis is in a high position. If others are good, they will naturally be able to suppress demons and monsters from all directions. But once something happens, everyone has their own thoughts. You don't have to worry. As long as the Marquis returns safely, the turmoil in the court is nothing."
Bo Ruoyouqiang calmed down, "Yes, as long as the marquis returns safely..."
She was really worried and had no intention of waiting for Wu Xiang to ask for advice. She just said goodbye to the yamen when the case was settled. On the carriage home, she leaned against the wall to ponder.
Huo Weilou is in a high position, and seems to be in power, but in fact he is full of dangers. He is on the boat back to Beijing and has also sleeping with a knife. When he thinks of this, Bo Ruoyou can't help but feel trembling. He is in danger in the southwest for the sake of tolerance, but if someone sets up a situation here, or someone takes advantage of his danger to play other means...
Bo Ruoyou took a deep breath and didn't dare to think about it anymore. At this time, the carriage suddenly stopped.
There was constant noise outside the curtains, and the city was still in the downtown area. How did the carriage stop?
"Miss, it's Mr. Lin, and the second wife's son--"
Zhou Liang's voice sounded outside, Bo Ruoyou frowned slightly, leaned over and lifted the curtains. It was less than noon, and the sky was cloudless in late autumn, and the sun fell on the pedestrians in a scattered manner. Bo Ruoyou saw Lin Zhao and Bo Yixuan at a glance.
The two of them were in front of the horses, followed by several carriages and horses. One of them also lifted the curtains. It was Bo Yixian and his daughter among them. The moment Lin Zhao and the other two stopped, the curtains of the carriage that followed were also lifted up.
"Zhao'er, why don't you leave?" Lin Huai was asking.
Lin Zhao looked at Bo Ruoyou and said without looking back: "Father and mother, we met the second sister."
Lin Huai then lifted the curtain high. When Bo Ruoyou saw them, he had to get out of the carriage and greet him. Lin Zhao's family looked at Bo Ruoyou with a friendly expression, but Bo Yixuan was different. He looked at Bo Ruoyou with a complicated expression.
Bo Ruoyou saluted Lin Huai and his wife, and put down the curtains of the carriage behind him. Bo Ruoyou didn't see it, and just asked, "It's so early, where did Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin go?"
Lin Huai said: "Your uncle's case has been settled, and today is the day he sets off."
Bo Jingqian was exiled to the north and left Beijing today.
Bo Ruoyou's face suddenly showed up. It turned out that he was going to see him off. Although Bo Jingqian was a criminal minister, he had a friend like Lin Huai, so he could naturally get his relatives to send him off. Lin Huai didn't mention this matter much, but just asked her: "I heard that there are new cases recently?"
Bo Ruoyou said, "There is a new case and the murderer has been caught."
Lin Huai looked at Bo Ruoyou happily, and Bo Ruoyou didn't feel like greeting them, "Then I won't disturb Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin's return to the house."
She stepped back, and Lin Huai reminded her a few more words, putting down the curtains and preparing to set off.
Lin Zhao looked at Bo Ruoyou and wanted to speak for a moment, but he didn't say much. But Bo Yixuan looked at Bo Ruoyou and said, "Are you planning to never go back to Bo again?"
Bo Ruoyou looked up at him, "Is Bo my family?"
Bo Yixuan pursed his lips tightly and said, "You can do whatever you want" and walked away. As soon as their horse moved, Bo Ruoyou got on the carriage by himself. When Bo Yixuan looked back, he felt even more depressed when he saw this.
Lin Zhao sighed, "Yixuan, you don't know her ups and downs over the years, so why bother her to make her unhappy?"
Bo Yixuan said dissatisfiedly: "But she is the daughter of Bo. Could she follow her adoptive father all her life? She would just not return to Beijing. After returning to Beijing, she was still strangers to Bo. How could this make the third uncle and third aunt look at the spirit of heaven? I know that her adoptive father was the imperial physician of the Qiancheng family. His Majesty has rehabilitated the Cheng family. In comparison, Bo is now declining, and she is even more reluctant to come back."
Lin Zhao frowned, "That's not the case. When she first returned to Beijing, Bo had not had any trouble. She had not yet gone to find you? Although human blood ties are important, we can also talk about love. To be fair, if she returns to Bo, can you really take care of her like Yixian?"
Bo Yixuan said in a stern voice: "She is the daughter of her third uncle and third aunt. Since she is my sister, I will not treat her indifferently."
Lin Zhao seemed to be unable to believe it all, so he shook his head and didn't say much. Soon, the two families went separately.
Bo's house in Changlefang has been confiscated, and now he has moved to the more remote Anningfang old house. Although it is enough to live in, it is no more powerful than the Bo's century-old house. Seeing the carriage about to enter Anningfang, Bo Yixian's depression came out again. She just thought that if Bo Jingqian could be a serene official, Bo could at least use the name of the Three Shangshus of his ancestors, and he could be considered a noble official. She could barely match Lin Zhao, but at present, Bo was a family of criminal ministers.
She grabbed Hu's arm nervously, "Mother, look for a good day, go to the Lin family earlier to make a marriage with Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin-"
Hu was immersed in the fear of his husband leaving Beijing, and was stunned when he heard this. She pondered for a moment and then grabbed Bo Yixian's hand, "Yes, Xian'er, you are right. Your father has left and there is no official position in the family. Your second uncle is a person who can't hold on to the family. Although your brother values you, he is your second uncle's son and your second aunt is full of thought. We must decide the marriage of the Lin family as soon as possible. Otherwise, how can our mother and daughter live in the future?"
Before Hu finished speaking, he started crying. Bo Yixian felt extremely depressed when he heard this. He thought that Hu was going to make a marriage for her before he could bear it.
Even Sun Zhao could see the turmoil in the court clearly, so Lin Huai could not have known it. Lin Zhao, who is currently on behalf of the Ministry of Revenue, is quite clear. The next day was the day of rest, and the father and son were talking in the study early in the morning.
Lin Zhao said with some concern: "What is the constitution now? Previously, the Hou of Changning was involved in the case of golden ointment. The Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple have not yet decided the case. His Majesty now wants the Second Highness to take over the direct envoy. Is he going to make a throne?"
Lin Huai stared at her eyes, "The eldest prince has mediocre qualifications and is not favored. The second prince is quick-minded and has a favored biological mother... It seems that His Majesty has this intention."
Lin Zhao pondered for a moment, "Father, the Marquis is in the southwest, won't he really not come back, right?"
"How could it be?" Lin Huai raised his jaw slightly, "This time, the marquis probably encountered difficulties. However, the marquis has been in charge of the direct commander in recent years, and has made many arrangements in secret. It is impossible to easily break it in the southwest."
Lin Zhao sighed, "But there has been no news for many days."
Lin Huai narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, "If you think so, I'm afraid there are more than one person. Let's watch. Some people can't wait. As for our Lin family, Jin Guan is the way of being a minister, so he will not move his troops."
Lin Zhao responded, but at this time, a manager came from outside, "Master, young master, someone from the Bo family is here."
Lin Huai was slightly surprised, "Comeone comes to Bo's family?"
"Yes, the eldest lady brought the eldest lady, the second master and the second wife, and the young master also came."
The whole family came over together, and it was not for ordinary visits. Lin Huai's heart sank, but he still took Lin Zhao to greet him. When he arrived at the main hall, he saw that the Bo family had already sat in the hall.
Chu was talking to Hu, and when he saw his father and son coming, everyone stood up to greet him.
Lin Huai smiled and said, "Why did you come here so early?"
Chu gave Lin Huai a look. Lin Huai looked at him, but his face was not visible. Hu glanced at the second master Bo Jingli, and he immediately stood up and said, "Brother Lin, let the children talk to themselves first."
When Lin Huai heard this, he understood what they were going to do. He felt it was a little tricky, and he still asked Lin Zhao to take Bo Yixuan and his sister to go shopping in the garden.
Bo Yixian followed her out with a confused and innocent look on her face, but she felt a little nervous.
After returning to the mansion last night, Hu felt that he had to wait for a long night and dreams, so he found Bo Jingli and wanted to make a marriage earlier. Although Bo Jingli was so anxious, he could not resist Hu's toughness and had to agree to go this trip. Wei was with him, so he naturally had to do his best to do his best.
After Bo Yixian walked out the door, he looked back and hoped that the wedding date would be decided earlier today.
Lin Zhao didn't think of their purpose for a moment, but he felt a little strange. He left the yard and asked, "What's wrong? But what happened in the mansion?"
Bo Yixuan glanced at Bo Yixian, thought that Lin Zhao would know soon, and said, "It's not for anything else, it's for you and Xian'er."
Lin Zhao paused, and then he realized that he had a moment of excitement, but his eyes did not fall on Bo Yixian. This marriage was decided for many years, and sooner or later, he and Bo Yixian grew up together. Even if they did not have the good marriage that they had made early, it could be considered a friendship in the world. Moreover, the two families had already discussed the marriage.
Bo Yixian was blushed by Bo Yixuan's direct face. She walked at the end, her cheeks were covered in a tiny color, and she raised her eyelashes again, and went to see Lin Zhao shyly, but she only saw Lin Zhao stunned for a moment, and then nodded calmly.
Lin Zhao said: "It's good for parents to make decisions when they have a marriage with their children."
After saying this, he turned his mind and asked Bo Yixuan about his recent studies. Bo Yixian felt quite disappointed. Lin Zhao has always been persistent and calm, but he is still a young man of Double Ten. When it comes to marriage, he should always have two happy expectations. However, he was completely different, as if he was doing a routine tolerance.
Thinking of this, Bo Yixian was excited again. It didn't matter, it was just too calm. At least he accepted it. He accepted it, and the Lin family was trustworthy. It would be great if this marriage continued without any turmoil.
In the main hall, Lin Huai looked at Hu and said, "It was originally said that after the spring of next year, it was still early now, so we can slowly look at each other's days. Now, the six rituals have only passed the birth date, so we have to follow the etiquette and number one by one."
Hu said with a gentle smile: "Yes, I originally said that after the spring of next year, but a few days ago, her father asked someone to take a message before leaving, saying that the one who was most worried was Xian'er. Therefore, if you can get married earlier, you will get married earlier. I will find a Taoist priest to have a good life in Dongyue."
It is already late August, and it is September. If you get married in the winter, you will have less than two months to prepare. Lin Huai looked at Chu, and Chu looked at Hu, and she pulled the corner of her lips and looked at Hu, "Are you too anxious? After two months of hard work, you can't prepare. The Lin family is not in the capital. Just asking the elders of the clan will take some effort, not to mention that the betrothal gifts are not complete yet. These etiquettes are not thoughtful. Wouldn't it be a grievance to Xian'er?"
Hu couldn't hold back the smile on his face for a moment, "If we were about to reach next year, we would have more than half a year, which would be too long..."
If Bo Jingqian had not had any accident, half a year would be nothing, but now the Bo family has fallen a lot. Hu thought of the bad journey of this marriage back then, and he felt more and more nervous, and he just wished he could get Bo Yixian and Lin Zhao married tomorrow.
"I have been waiting for so many years, so there is no need to worry about this half year. You said Jing Qian was worried, so I naturally understand that if you want to get married sooner or later, it's better to be careful and secure." Lin Huai didn't want to let go.
Mrs. Hu looked at Bo Jingli. Bo Jingli was a soft and easy-to-talk. He saw that Lin Huai did not intend to change the schedule, so he naturally couldn't speak tough words. Before he could speak, he nodded his head and showed his consent.
Hu felt very angry and looked at Wei, but Wei was sitting leisurely, and he didn't plan to speak. Hu gritted his teeth, "Xian'er is not a picky person, nor is our family. The two families are family friends, and there is nothing wrong with it. The betrothal gift is just not wrong on the surface. According to my opinion, Lin Zhao is not young anymore. It is a year or two earlier, which is also good for him."
Lin Huai and Chu's expressions were a little bad. Lin Huai, the Minister of Justice, has not yet decided. Lin Zhao temporarily entered the Ministry of Revenue, but he has not fallen behind. Both father and son are in a critical situation. Not to mention that the wedding date that had been agreed earlier was next year, even for Lin Huai and Lin Zhao's official career, it is impossible to marry Bo Yixian and Lin Zhao immediately.
Hanging this marriage has attracted a lot of discussion inside and outside the court. Now that the case of corruption in the golden ointment and the Ministry of Revenue has not been completely decided, we have to post wedding invitations saying that the son of the Lin family is going to marry the daughter of the Bo family. This is not necessary to think about what kind of rumors it will cause.
Chu said with anger, "Why did you suddenly get anxious? Now, the case of the Ministry of Revenue has not yet been decided, and the master is still the chief official of the case. It is not good for both families to marry Zhaoer and Xianer."
It would be fine if you didn't mention this case. When you mentioned this case, you immediately talked about Hu's pain. She couldn't hold back her smile and said, "I think it's not good for the Lin family, right? Does Lord Lin think that things are wrong now? If Zhaoer marrys Xian'er, it will lose face of the Lin family and affect his career?"
Hu knew that Lin Huai was going to be the Minister of the Shang Dynasty. Thinking that he was just a minister, he hated Bo. If he became the Minister of the Shang Dynasty, as long as he said that the marriage did not count, wouldn’t Bo Yixian’s second half of his life be ruined? Therefore, he made up his mind to set the marriage before the New Year.
Lin Huai didn't expect that Hu could be so rude. This was a tacit statement, but Hu could speak out to the point. His face turned red and he felt helpless and depressed. "There is no saying that he is embarrassed, but Brother Bo's case is not good, even the Lin family has to avoid it. Xian'er will marry into the Lin family in the future. She can be better if the Lin family is good. You won't understand this principle-"
If Hu had understood this in the past, but now that her husband was convicted, she had no honor to enjoy. The grief and anger for many days had already made her extremely stubborn. She said with a calm face: "What else should I avoid? This marriage was made back then, and now it is just a marriage earlier in accordance with the regulations. Anyway, I have decided. If you don't want to, it is because Bo was guilty of Xian'er. When I go back today, I will invite the official media to come to my door. The etiquette we should live will not be less. If you are really busy, I will come to see the life. The whole capital knows that the Lin family and the Bo family have already had a marriage contract. Could you not be willing to keep your promise?"
When Chu heard this, he felt the pain of his chest twitching, "You... you are too unreasonable!"
Hu's eyes turned red and he rubbed his eyes as if he was looking like a look, "What do you mean? Now we orphans and widows, I am just dedicated to Xian'er and Zhao'er-"
Lin Huai was so angry that his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, but Chu couldn't help it. She suddenly stood up, "No one who discussed the marriage between children like this-"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu felt a sharp pain in his heart, and there was even a flash of golden light in front of him. She cried out in pain, covered her heart and fell to the ground. Lin Huai was startled and quickly supported the person with his eyes and hands, "Madam! What's wrong with you?"
In an instant, Chu's face turned white as paper, and a cold sweat spilled out of his forehead. He opened his mouth, but there was only a rumbling sound of pain. Lin Huai's face changed drastically and immediately ordered the attendant to ask the doctor!
This situation also scared the Bo family. Several people stood up together. Hu was even more frightened. She didn't expect that such a sensation would make Chu family so angry?!
Seeing that the Chu family was not very good, Lin Huai did not dare to be disrespectful and shouted outside, "Go and invite the Mingyuanzheng--" After that, he thought that Ming Zhonghuai was afraid of being on duty in the palace, so he quickly changed his words, "Go and invite Cheng Yunzhi!"
The main hall was in chaos for a moment, and soon, two servants ran to the garden with white faces to find Lin Zhao!
Before Lin Zhao saw them, one of them said, "Young master, go and have a look. The lady fainted from the eldest lady's popularity. I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's going to be wrong..."
Lin Zhao heard this and felt like a bolt from the blue. Bo Yixian, who was standing beside him, felt like he was hit by lightning. He discussed the wedding date carefully, so why did Mrs. Lin faint in anger?!
Chapter completed!
