The Xing Prison Division was established by Emperor Li Junyi of Taizu at the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and was originally in charge of the punishment of the eunuchs and palace ladies in the inner palace.

The difference between the Criminal Prison Department and the Secret Guard is that the people in the Criminal Prison Department are all internal servants, and their martial arts are not very high, but they must be ruthless and cold-hearted.

He Linwan naturally didn't want to see Ye Yining enter the Criminal Prison Division, his original temperament was already very cold, if he entered a place like the Criminal Prison Division again, I am afraid that he would not live like a normal person.

He Linwan was very worried, but she also knew that Ye Yining was very stubborn, she always suspected that there was a crazy and ruthless energy hidden in his cold temperament, and no one could change his decision, he was a person who could be extremely ruthless to himself in order to achieve his goals.

Li Yu said playfully: "Entering the Criminal Prison Department has to go through a very strict identity check, Ye Yining can actually hide from the world, and I am also beginning to wonder how much strength the Zhao family has hidden in the previous dynasty." ”

He Linwan smiled: "The Li dynasty has only lived for a few decades so far, but the Zhao family has ruled the Central Plains for nearly three hundred years, and until now there are still some ancient families who secretly hope that the Zhao family can be restored, because in their eyes, your Li family is just a clown who jumps off the beam and is a monkey, and three generations up are not even worthy of lifting shoes for them! ”

He Linwan's words sounded like ridicule and ridicule, Li Yu should have been angry, but he just glanced at He Linwan lightly and did not argue.

He Linwan was a little uncomfortable, thinking that he had just burned Li Yu's hand, and when he spoke again, he finally stopped being so bitter and mean: "But at present, you don't need to worry too much about the Zhao family, how many imperial families have been ousted from the altar since ancient times? ”

"Then according to you, how long can the Li family's qi be maintained?" Li Yu asked.

He Linwan was silent for a moment and smiled: "The prince shouldn't have asked me this. ”

"Oh, who are you going to ask?" Li Yu raised an eyebrow.

He Linwan looked at Li Yu, and the two looked at each other for a moment. She sighed: "When I used to read history books, I always didn't understand why every time a dynasty was about to run out, there would be some celestial warnings or one or two capable people who could predict another world. Later, I wondered if a regime was running out. Those who are in high positions know what they know. So, why don't you tell me?"

Li Yu said: "The Li family still has at least two hundred years of national glory. ”

He Linwan glanced at Li Yu, but smiled silently, and did not refute him after all.

The two were relatively silent again, until the carriage stopped again at the place where He Linwan had gotten off before.

"Where are you going to start with the affairs of the Gongsun family?" asked Li Yu as the carriage stopped.

He Linwan got up and got out of the car: "Wait for news from Gongsun Xian and my father." Feel relieved. As soon as the war ended, the emperor would endure even if he wanted to unload the mill and kill the donkey. ”

He Lin got out of the car late and saw that his carriage stopped in the same place, Li Yu's carriage drove forward for a while and stopped, until He Lin got his own carriage at night, and the carriage slowly drove into the main street, and Li Yu's carriage went in the opposite direction.

When He Lin returned to the He Mansion in the evening, Wei had not yet returned, but as soon as she changed the clothes she was wearing outside, the little maid Mint came in and reported that Mrs. Cheng Enbo had sent someone to invite He Lin to the Buddha Hall.

He Linwan hadn't seen this grandmother since she was called over by Mrs. Cheng Enbo last time to see her, and He Linwan couldn't figure out what Mrs. Cheng Enbo was going to do this time. If it was for He Guanglie's business, she should have called Wei Shi to come over.

However, He Linwan still asked Chunxiao to clean up a little for herself. It's gone.

The Buddhist hall is still as deserted as ever, the Bodhi tree in the courtyard is the time to hang fruit, the two little maids are standing under the tree and looking up, they don't dare to speak loudly just gesture with each other with their hands, and in a blink of an eye, they saw He Linwan push the door into the courtyard and was startled, and immediately ran to report after a hurried salute.

After a while, the little maid ran out and said that Mrs. Cheng Enbo had let He Lin go in late.

The smell of sandalwood in the Buddhist hall was mixed with the incense accumulated by burning incense all year round, which was very calming, and He Linwan saw Mrs. Cheng Enbo sitting cross-legged on the low table under the window, and there was another person sitting opposite her, because he was facing the door. He Linwan couldn't see her face clearly.

Mrs. Cheng Enbo beckoned to He Linwan and said calmly, "Come here." ”

He Linwan saluted Mrs. Cheng Enbo, but when she turned to the person sitting across from her, he hesitated, but the person stood up first: "I've seen Miss He." ”

He Linwan saw her face clearly. The woman was about thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance, wearing ordinary linen clothes, and combing her hair was not a married woman's head, but a sandalwood hairpin as an ornament. At first glance, it is a very ordinary simple **. But when she got up to speak, the quiet and elegant temperament in her bones was naturally revealed.

Wei said: "Ah Wan, you can return to Aunt Ying." ”

He Linwan saluted the woman named Yinggu in front of him. Aunt Ying also accepted it calmly, and when He Linwan got up, she met Aunt Ying's gaze, and Aunt Ying nodded and smiled.

The two sat down, Ying Gu still sat opposite Mrs. Cheng Enbo, and He Linwan sat on the right side of Mrs. Cheng Enbo.

Wei didn't tell He Linwan who this Ying Gu was, but just said to Ying Gu: "This is the eldest granddaughter I just mentioned to you, her name is Lin Wan." What do you see?"

Hearing this, Aunt Ying looked at He Lin carefully for a while, and then smiled and bowed: "She is worthy of being a girl from Bofu, benevolent, filial piety, and etiquette, and her bearing is extraordinary." ”

Wei Shi was slapped on the back, but there was no joy and pride on his face, but he asked, "Oh, today is just the first time you have seen her, and you can see it after only a few glances at her?"

Aunt Ying was not embarrassed to be exposed, but said with a smile: "As soon as Miss He came in, I got up first to say hello, she should know that my status is not high, you asked her to salute me in this cloth, Miss He did it without saying a word, I carefully observed that she was not reluctant to be angry, which shows that Miss He is benevolent and filial." You didn't tell her who I was, but let me evaluate her, and she was calm and calm in the process, which shows that her bearing is extraordinary. ”

Hearing this, Wei finally smiled: "Then are you willing to accept her as an apprentice?" I know your rules, if the student does not fit his eyes, no matter how much the main family gives him, he will not accept it." ”

He Linwan only then understood the identity of this woman, last time Wei said that he wanted to ask his sister-in-law to find a female gentleman for her, but he didn't expect to really find someone.

Aunt Ying said: "Madame, Miss He is so qualified, it is my blessing to be able to teach such a student, and it depends on whether Miss He is willing to ask me to be her husband." ”

Wei Shi smiled slightly and looked at He Linwan: "This is the female gentleman I invited for you, she can teach you the things that all the women of the family want to learn." She has a single name, so you can call her Aunt Ying. ”

He Linwan knew that it was not his turn to refuse on the spot, so he shouted "Aunt Ying" according to Wei's meaning.

Wei nodded with satisfaction, and said to He Linwan: "When your mother comes back, let her arrange a place for Aunt Ying in your western courtyard, and treat her with the courtesy of Mr. Treat her on weekdays." ”

He Lin should have gone down in the evening.

Aunt Ying said to He Linwan warmly: "Don't worry, I won't enter the mansion until three days later." ”

Wei had no objection, and He Linwan naturally had no objection.

After that, Wei wanted to leave Aunt Ying to speak, and He Linwan left the Buddhist hall first.

When He Linwan returned to the West Courtyard, Wei had just come back, and when he saw He Linwan coming in, he didn't even have time to take a sip of tea, so he asked, "What did your grandmother call you for?"

He Linwan served Wei's cup of tea, and only after seeing her drink it did he tell Aunt Ying about it.

Wei couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

He Linwan comforted her and said, "Mother doesn't have to worry, even if my grandmother has any arrangements, I'm still young, who can say for sure what will happen in five years?"

Wei thought about it, but she still glanced at He Linwan worriedly: "I heard you say that this Aunt Ying should be more strict with her students, and my mother is worried that you won't be able to adapt to it." ”

In Wei's impression, He Linwan is the kind of person who can practice martial arts for three days and three nights without getting tired, but when it comes to things like reading, playing the piano, writing, embroidering, she can't persist for a quarter of an hour. In the past, He Linwan was personally taught by Wei, and although Wei was not an unassertive person in other matters, it was inevitable that he would be a little ruthless in dealing with his children.

He Linwan said with a little crying and laughing: "I see that Aunt Ying has a good temper, not to mention that I have grown up, and I will not be as temperamental as I was when I was a child, mother, you can rest assured." ”

He Linwan asked Wei how the arrangements were made for the people to go to Shandong, and Wei said: "I found an old housekeeper left by my mother and asked him to take his two sons on a personal trip, and as long as there is news, he will bring a letter back." ”

Aunt Ying really came to He's house three days later, she brought very little luggage, only a small baggage, and in addition to that, she also brought a mute little girl who was waiting for her.

Although Wei didn't want to accept Mrs. Cheng Enbo's person, after talking to Aunt Ying, he didn't have any ill feelings towards her as a person, and he didn't object to her staying. Wei asked people to arrange a place for Aunt Ying, and originally Wei also wanted to call Ying a maid, but Aunt Ying refused, saying that it was enough for her to have a dumb sister to serve her.
