The road back(42)

It’s no wonder that the Supreme Emperor called King Zhongshun a pig-brained person. Nowadays, you can’t do anything based on your emotions. In order to achieve your goal, let alone giving your woman a decent funeral, or even facing the enemy, you can gnash your teeth with hatred in your heart.

You have to smile and praise the other person. You have to tolerate even such a thing, let alone such a trivial matter.

The overall situation is the most important thing. These four words are easy to say, but in practice, they are really heavy and oppressive.

The funeral for Concubine Zhen is not over yet. Concubine Zhou in the palace has given birth. Unfortunately, she has given birth to a prince. Compared with the queen's natal family, which only has the title of Marquis of Chengen, the Zhou family is quite powerful.

It means that the old department of Emperor Zhenglong's latent residence has already been vaguely dominated by the Zhou family.

When the prince was born in Concubine Zhou's belly, the Zhou family had to hold a running banquet for ten days. The Zhou family sent someone to deliver the invitation, and the words were sincere, but the Fourth Master frowned and handed it to Lin Yutong to see.

Lin Yutong glanced at it and put it down. The fourth master said: "Jiu Nai Ji Shu, their family has to do it for ten days."

If this were an ordinary family, no one would be so demanding to see how many days their family would hold a banquet. But this Zhou family is celebrating the prince's birthday, so is the number 'ten days' right?

It's a little inappropriate.

Generally speaking, it is seven days, which means to give way to heaven and earth and give one day to each person. Nine means reaching the top. Now in the world, only two people dare to use these two numbers. But they have one more day than "nine".

I guess I didn't think about it this way.

But just because they don't think about it doesn't mean that others won't make a fuss about it. If you want to find faults, you can find thorns in the rocks, let alone such a big flaw.

The Zhou family is so excited this week, but so far there is no news about rewards and favors coming out from the palace, so they started to make a fuss first.

Lin Yutong said: "The Zhou family has followed Emperor Zhenglong until now. Normally, they would not be so rash."

"Unfortunately." Fourth Master chuckled: "Zhou Yuyu was sent to the south to supervise the army, and now his sons are at home."

Um?

What a coincidence?

I'm afraid it's just a coincidence!

Emperor Zhenglong obviously didn't want to use his old troops before things stabilized, so he transferred the Zhou family's Zhenshan Tai Sui away, and let the rest of the Zhou family jump up and down until they couldn't control it, so he could take action.

At that time, as long as you show some mercy, you will be thinking about the old relationship. Without making a move, you can break up the so-called imperial concubine party and the queen party. Without the imperial concubine party, there will naturally be no queen party. This is a mutual pair.

A relationship of opposition but dependence.

Lin Yutong said: "Then I will prepare gifts." This struggle is just like a play on the stage. Each person has his own role, and he has to go on stage when it is time to appear on stage. He is not allowed to do anything.

Even Lin Yutong had to dress up and come to congratulate her.

Just go, but to Lin Yutong's surprise, at Zhou's house, Lin Yutong saw the second sister and third sister of the You family who were following behind You.

Youshi just nodded to Lin Yutong and took the people to the other side to do it. Lin Yutong was talking to a few familiar friends and didn't pay much attention. Many people looked at the good looks of the two sisters and asked Lin Yutong about it.

: "I've never heard that there is a girl in their family who has not left the court. Which room do the sisters belong to?"

Lin Yutong just said that she was the girl from You's mother's family, but didn't say anything else.

The one who was interested even asked, "Have you always lived in their house?"

Lin Yutong shook his head: "Now that the clan has been divided, it's hard for me to inquire about other people's family affairs, but I don't know much about them."

Some of the guests here were invited by the Zhou family through postings, and some came uninvited. This Youshi did not sit down in this hall, so he was obviously one of the guests who came uninvited.

Someone whispered: "Isn't their family observing filial piety?"

Yes!

When it comes to keeping one's filial piety, let alone visiting one's house on one's own initiative, even if an important person takes the initiative to invite one, one cannot go.

One is the basic filial piety; the other is the fear of disturbing the happy event of the master's family.

There were so many people talking that it was difficult for Lin Yutong not to hear them, so he simply went out and said he was going to change clothes. In fact, he stood outside the hall. He also heard the third young lady of the Zhou family, who didn't know whether she was scolding the girl or scolding her.

As for the housekeeper's wife: "How come everyone is put in there? Who do you think my Zhou family is..."

The voice of the person who spoke next was a little hoarse, but she was obviously not a girl. She must be the mother-in-law. Just listen to what she said: "He came with the second master's name card, how could he stop me."

It means that although there is no invitation, there is a personal note from Mr. Tuesday.

But the second master of the family is famous for being ridiculous. Before he left, he even said that he was not allowed to go out. He was originally going to be sent back to his hometown. Now that the master is gone, no one can control him. I don’t know why.

What would it be like to hang out with these people?

But that's the elder brother. They are younger and no one can tell.

The third grandma of the Zhou family said angrily: "Aren't you going to go back to me?"

"Uncle is sick." The mother-in-law said, "Grandma is taking care of me, and she said... not to disturb me."

Lin Yutong didn't want to listen anymore and walked away gently with Liuli.

With the sudden rise in prominence, the Zhou family themselves may have been caught off guard. And within the family itself, the sons of each house may have some signs of rivalry. Everyone has their own plans, which makes it even more convenient for others to take advantage of them.

.

When he went back, Lin Yutong told the Fourth Master about this. The Fourth Master narrowed his eyes and said, "Jia Zhen knows that she is scared. If she wants to find someone else with big thick legs to hold her, she is even willing to take out the forbidden pair."

Lin Yutong has also heard that the biggest problem with Mr. Tuesday is that he is romantic.

He is also a scholar! But he is an eclectic scholar. Romantic seeds love beauties! If it weren’t for Mr. Zhou’s control, I don’t know how many brothel girls were taken home as true love.

Jia Zhen wanted to use the You family sisters to establish friendship with the Zhou family.

What can we do? Emperor Zhenglong wants to watch the Zhou family commit suicide and indulge the Zhou family in committing suicide, so no one can stop him.

Compared with such a big event, it seems that the children of the Wen family and the Lin family are getting married, which seems insignificant. In fact, Lin Yutong has an obvious feeling that since the Wen family came to the capital, there have been few high-profile moments. It has always been the case.

Low-key and unknown. It was Wen Tianfang who knew whether the fourth master had something fishy to do. But he never meant to pry. There was silent attention, but most of them were really not. As a somewhat special person, he found out

There is another person who is somewhat similar to him. He is afraid that this person will discover him, especially the difference between them before and after Wen Jia. Therefore, he will become more and more quiet to prevent his strangeness from being discovered. He is using

His method avoids trouble. But another reason is that he is a completely different person from Fourth Master. In Wen Tianfang's heart, saving his family, saving his family, and saving people closely related to him is the top priority. But for Fourth Master

Not to mention that the people sitting on the throne now have some unspeakable connection with him, but they have no connection. If Dan can help the world, he will be obliged to do so.

Wen Tianfang was lucky that Fourth Master, a person who was suspected of being reborn, did not notice him. Although he was hiding in the dark to watch jokes or to commit suicide by watching this, his purpose for hiding was obvious. He did not want anyone to discover him.

His abnormality.

A wedding that no one pays much attention to is probably just right for the Wen family.

Lin Yutong watched Lin Tongyu get on the sedan chair, and then watched Wen Tianfang riding a tall horse and wearing red flowers to pick up his bride happily.

"Are you feeling sour?" Fourth Master asked after returning home.

Lin Yutong shook his head seriously.

But the fourth master asked: "Really?"

"Mainly because I'm afraid that if I make you feel bad, you'll feel bad even more." She said the same thing to him.

If the two of them can joke around like this, then this matter is really in the past.

Seeing that the New Year is over, there is a story about the young lady getting a daughter and giving birth to a son in the spring. Even if the young lady gives birth to a daughter, the family will be prosperous and the mother-in-law is also kind. When she saw Lin Yutong, she kept saying

, bloom first and bear fruit later, girls are rare in our family. Instead, I asked Lin Yutong to persuade the young lady more, for fear that she would think too much.

Yingchun gave birth to a son, and she was completely established in her husband's family. She was easy-going and never argued. Before, the Fang family was worried that she would have conflicts with her eldest sister over time, but after so long, she was really a member of the family.

The matter was only left to the eldest sister-in-law, who cared very much about her niece and took her to learn how to read and embroider. Fang Shiji really felt that he was lucky. The quality of this daughter-in-law does not depend on how many people there are and how capable she is.

The most important thing is the fit.

When the child was having his third bath, Lin Yutong went there. But he didn't see anyone from the Jia family. Then someone from Xiangyun came, obviously in a hurry. When he saw Yingchun, he apologized: "Second brother Lian and second sister-in-law can't come.

Come on, my second brother and I are here..."

Yingchun just nodded and didn't even ask why, just said: "It's good to be here!"

Shao Hua saw Xiang Yun's embarrassment and asked, "But there is an important guest at home?"

Xiangyun saw that there were people close to him inside, so he said: "Second brother Lian was beaten and seriously injured..."

ah?

"How long ago did it happen?" Yingchun became anxious: "Do you know who hit me?"

Xiangyun forced a smile and shook his head: "I don't know."

Yingchun thought she was beaten by the elder for some unexplainable reason. She had long heard that her second brother was related to the elder's aunt, so maybe this matter had been known, right?

Seeing both of them looking like this, Shao Hua looked at Lin Yutong. Lin Yutong said that he didn't know very well. At least he had heard about it before coming here.

Before the wedding banquet was even eaten, the family called, saying that Second Grandma Lian had sent someone to ask for an imperial doctor to come over, saying that Second Master Lian's injury was very bad.

The fourth master was also having a wedding banquet here, but the Jia family came to call the fourth master and Yu Liang again. It was Jia She who personally gave the order.

The grandson's good life happened one after another in the Jia family.

After all, Fang Shiji was from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, and had spent more time dealing with the three religions and nine schools. After hearing this, he sent Fourth Master and Yu Liang off respectfully and said, "I'll ask someone to inquire about this. My father-in-law is the same,

It’s such a big thing, but I don’t even say a word.”

Since Jia She screamed, it was not Jia Lian who was beaten by Jia She. I'm afraid there was another reason.

Yu Liang is Jia She's nephew. The fourth master is not a clansman, but he is still his nephew's son-in-law. If you call him uncle, then go ahead.
