Wei Mingxu is the same as a day all year round, he went to the court after breakfast, Lin Zhixuan sat on the kang, and Dongmei was going through this year's account books, this year's Zhuangzi and shops under the palace had a good harvest, and Liu Yi was replying on the side: "On July 11, the birthday of the princess of Prince Youde's mansion, the birthday of Princess Yongmu, the king of Shoujun Sanqi, and the two Fuguo Duchess's family added grandchildren, all of whom handed over invitations. The princess saw where she went, or just ordered someone to give a gift. There are more than a dozen posts at the bottom, but they are the birthday banquets and funerals of some official eunuchs, and they all came to hand over the posts to the Jingwang Mansion, and they were not very good friends with the palace, so they should have given gifts as usual, and that's it. ”

Lin Zhixuan nodded and said, "Prince De's birthday is naturally going to pass, arrange a carriage at noon, wait over there, and I will come back after lunch." Princess Yongmu, you go and give the gift in person. ”

Liu Yi responded one by one, and then replied: "On July 12, it was the third eldest son of Princess Wenzhuang, the third son of Prince Ying, and the princess of Sujun was pregnant, and a banquet was set up in the palace of Sujun. Prince and Princess Yi have a 60th birthday, but I heard that Princess Yi's health is not very good, and I am afraid that there will be one less one on this birthday. ”

Lin Zhixuan frowned and said, "You have sent all the people to Zhouquan, and I will go to Prince Yi's mansion for dinner at noon." But sit back and come back. Hello, prepare a birthday gift, according to the list drawn up on Princess Chaoxi's birthday last year. ”

"Yes. Liu Yi bowed and said, "The old lady of the Li family is gone, July 13 is the first seventh, and Concubine Li wants to go back to give her grandfather a pillar of incense to express her condolences." ”

Lin Zhixuan's brows furrowed slightly: "Li Zi'an has passed away, doesn't Li Miaosheng want to worry?"

Liu Yidao: "The prince is now inseparable from Lord Li, and he plans to take revenge and return to the court after Sanqi." ”

Lin Zhixuan nodded and said, "Let Li Jing go back, you can also send someone to prepare a gift, which can be regarded as a little heart of King Jing's Mansion." With all his sorrows, he said that I was too busy to go over in person. ”

"Yes. Liu Yi bowed in response.

While he was talking here, someone suddenly came over there, saying that Mrs. Wang was coming.

Lin Zhixuan put down the account book in her hand, and was being helped up by Dongmei, about to greet Mrs. Wang, only to see Mrs. Wang coming in a hurry, but her face was very ugly, Lin Zhixuan asked Mrs. Wang to sit in the room, and then asked: "What's wrong with my mother? Early in the morning, who made you unhappy?"

Mrs. Wang took the tea in Dongmei's hand, took a sip, and then said, "Can you talk to the prince and change your brother's errand." ”

Lin Zhixuan looked at Mrs. Wang in surprise, only to hear Mrs. Wang frown and continue: "Your brother has been back in Beijing for more than half a year, at first he said that he entered the Internal Affairs Office, and the business was still prosperous, and when I saw him come to visit me, I was always happy, and I bought a new house in the capital, but since I went to the household department, I have been sad all day long, and there is no one in the household department who is easy to meet, and he is difficult everywhere and gives him small shoes to wear.

Hubu Shangshu is the first one not to see him, always nonsensical to arrange some work for him, your brother is new to the new and unfamiliar, ask the people below, but none of those people are willing to help, this one stepped on a foot, that deceived one. I see that your brother is very aggrieved, it is better to let him return to the Internal Affairs Office, or go back to Hangzhou. ”

Lin Zhixuan's face immediately turned cold, and she only said to Mrs. Wang: "Did my mother want to say these words to me, or did my brother ask my mother to come and talk to me?"

Mrs. Wang said: "Your brother is like a stuffy gourd, these grievances are only known to me, a mother, where is he willing to tell you, a sister." ”

Lin Zhixuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That means, it's all mother's meaning?"

Mrs. Wang responded, took a sip of tea and said: "How can the people in the household department be so ignorant, now your brother is also a national ruler, they dare to bully like this, and you don't let the prince clean up those people in the household department, it's just lawless." Now that the prince is the regent, it is not difficult to find a more comfortable place for your brother, just don't let him suffer here. ”

Lin Zhixuan sighed: "Mother, my brother is not a person without ability, so don't underestimate my brother too much." Liao Qing has always been in charge of the household department in the past, and now Liao Qing has taken refuge in the Zhongyong Mansion, and the prince let his brother serve in the household department, which is to entrust his brother with important responsibilities.

The difficulties and grievances you mentioned, my brother has them, doesn't the prince have them? This has always been a person who has the ability to share the worries of the master, and only those who have no ability only think about seeking refuge everywhere.

Don't say anything else, you just look at the Li family, Li Jing is just a side concubine, and she is not favored in the Jingwang Mansion, but Li Miaosheng, the eldest uncle of the Li family, is now the right-hand man of the prince, and even compares the old Cai Ge of the old man who used to be around the prince, and Li Qi, the uncle of the Li family, is now going to the Western Regions with the fleet, isn't he bitter, but things in this world are often bitter, and when he comes back, he naturally has the qualifications to go further in the military department.

The household is a hard bone, and the prince has capable people under him, so it is easy for me to persuade the prince to hand over the household to my brother to experience, and besides, isn't there still Bai Hui in it to help my brother? It will not be so isolated.

The affairs of the household department have been done, and my brother has also proved his ability, and naturally he has a bright future in the future, but if he can't even withstand this test, then he doesn't have to think about a good future, and he can go back to Hangzhou to weave.

There are all kinds of people who have the ability, but all the people who don't have the ability are the same. Mother don't feel sorry for her son at this time, when my father first entered the Ministry of Engineering, wasn't he also low-minded, and now it has taken many years to get out. Although the prince has the ability, he does not raise idlers under his hands. Our Lin family is also a prominent family of the previous dynasty, don't fall into the face of our family. In this case, don't say it again.

As for the matter of the household, since the mother is reluctant to suffer for the second brother, then it will be for a year, if within a year, the second brother still can't gain a foothold in the household, then he doesn't have to stay in the capital. ”

When Mrs. Wang heard Lin Zhixuan say this, she regretted it a little in her heart, but how could a mother not feel sorry for her son. only said to Lin Zhixuan: "Don't worry, my mother is just holding grievances for your brother, your brother has never complained to me, I always look at him and frown, so I asked your father to inquire." Besides, these days, there is something else, your brother is too busy to work, let me talk to you.

Now I don't know where the gossip from outside is that your second sister has returned to Beijing and is pregnant. Your brother is also a national father-in-law, and it is rumored that his sister's widow is pregnant, and she is also dressed very ugly. I originally planned to go to the Liang family's house to have a look, but it was not abrupt, I was afraid that it was a rumor, so I came to ask you, but really?"
