Bai Hui scoffed at Lin Zhixuan's clever words.

Lin Zhixuan looked at him like this, after all, she couldn't help but frown, stopped talking to him about political affairs, and only stared at him for a long time before asking: "You said that you are the old man of the Lin family, what is your relationship with the Lin family?"

Bai Hui saw that Lin Zhixuan suddenly mentioned this matter, and he was a little confused, so he only said after a moment: "The ancestors of the grass people once had an in-law with the Lin family. ”

Lin Zhixuan nodded slightly, and there was no longer a shallow smile on her face, she just looked at him coldly and said: "The officials of the Shandong provinces who reported what you reported are also rushing to the capital every day to deliver the news, and the prince has already known that if you use the old people of the Lin family to report the news, then now it is considered a complete merit." The prince is not in the palace today, and he is discussing with the courtiers how to deal with smallpox, and he is also urgently dispatching the herb doctor, and I think that an order will be issued in the near future.

I will ask Liu Yi to reward you with fifty taels of silver to live in the capital for the time being, and then you can return to your hometown by yourself after the matter of smallpox in Shandong is settled. ”

Bai Hui was stunned for a moment, his own high-minded talk had not yet been exported, how could Lin Zhixuan actually give birth to such a thing and send it off? Sure enough, it was a woman's opinion, and she couldn't listen to her own disadvantages at all.

Bai Hui arched his hand to Lin Zhixuan and said, "The grass people ask to meet the prince." ”

Lin Zhixuan chuckled lightly and said, "Mr. sees me the same as seeing the prince, and besides, the prince may not be as good as me when he sees him, and Mr. is not seen." ”

Bai Hui was unwilling, and said: "Isn't it true that the regent can't even listen to the truth and the people's livelihood? Those officials under the bottom only know how to deceive and hide from the subordinates, and now what the epidemic situation in the two provinces is really going to be, the prince who is worry-free is afraid that he has never known at all, and he can't even imagine it!"

Lin Zhixuan looked at Bai Hui, but she didn't want to say more, she only said: "If Mr. insists on seeing the prince, then wait outside, if the prince comes back and wants to see you, he will naturally summon him."

Saying that, Lin Zhixuan picked up the teacup, Liu Yi wanted to invite Bai Hui out, but Dongmei walked ahead of Liu Yi, because Bai Hui did not enter the side hall of the ear room to rest, but let him wait under the cold corridor.

Fortunately, the underground in Xijin Zhai is hollowed out, and coal is provided in winter, and even under the eaves of the porch is warm and melting, but it will not freeze people.

Liu Yi saw that Lin Zhixuan actually let Bai Hui wait in the cold wind, and he was relieved in his heart, and did not say any more, only asked Lin Zhixuan if she would continue to discuss the fifteenth night banquet.

Lin Zhixuan asked the little girl to hand the list in her hand to Liu Yi, and said, "I'm about to prepare it, you can take a look, if there is nothing wrong, go and prepare it first." ”

Liu Yi bowed down and took the list, except for two interstitial screens and a set of tables and chairs that had been shelved for a long time, and they had not been brought back for the paint that had been sent out for two days.

Dong Mei has ordered someone to re-sweep and clean the place where Fang Caibai has returned, and sprinkle vinegar, Lin Zhixuan was afraid that the vinegar smell would smoke the ninth sister, so she didn't let the nurse take the child over, only crooked on the kang and closed her eyes to recuperate.

Dongmei looked at Lin Zhixuan squinting her eyes, and said: "If the mother is tired, go to bed and sleep for a while, this kang is crooked and uncomfortable." ”

Lin Zhixuan closed her eyes and said, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to sleep at night when I sleep during the day, so I just rest crookedly for a while, and let's talk." ”

Lin Zhixuan asked, Qiu Ju is better.

Dongmei said: "It takes a hundred days to hurt the muscles and bones, although it doesn't hurt the muscles and bones, but it has to be the first month to get better." ”

Lin Zhixuan nodded and said, "Let her have a good life, and I'll go see her later." ”

Dongmei answered, and then asked: "Niangniang, although that person looks at the tattered clothes, but he talks like a scholar, why did Niangniang drive him away without listening to him, if he is really a talented person?

Lin Zhixuan opened her eyes slightly, glanced at Dongmei, with a hint of irrepressible surprise between her eyebrows, and even cheered up to talk to Dongmei: "There are many talented people in this world, but there are also many people who are not talented, and sometimes talents are not necessarily useful." What the prince lacks is a person who is sensible, knowledgeable, and capable of doing practical things, not a person who has a low level of vision and can only talk on paper. ”

Dongmei said: "Niangniang has never tried him, how do you know that he will only talk on paper?"

Lin Zhixuan said with a smile: "I really haven't tried whether he can really do good things, but I just feel that he thinks too simply, which is not to blame him, but the common problem of most scholars who have never been officials."

They read the books of the sages every day, and only know that the old have something to rely on, the young have support, and can become the world in harmony, but they don't know the difficulties in this, after all, these are also those sages who came up with it, and the dynasties have been thousands of years, who dares to say that there is really no disadvantage in which dynasty and which generation?

Even if the prince has a heart and a talent and strategy, after all, he is only one person, without three heads and six arms, and he has to rely on the officials below to do everything. The governor and the general army at the bottom had to hand over the decree to the prefect and governor below, so that the government service soldiers, a government decree, involved more than thousands of people, who dares to guarantee that there is not a single favoritism and dereliction of duty? And whenever this goes wrong, is it the fault of the prince?

And if it is said that it is so easy to reform the rule of officials and rectify the imperial examination, how many years has the prince been in power, and the maladministration left by the previous emperor, the prince is now making changes against public opinion, but it is not a day or two that can be seen immediately.

Besides, how many people, how many forces, and how many parties will be offended, it is another matter, and naturally it cannot be said to those scholars, otherwise, this is another disadvantage of party strife, and they will only make a big attack when they hear it. They only know what is good and what is not good, and they know that such a thing should not be for the sake of long-term peace and stability, but in all dynasties, which dynasty has no party strife?

For example, we are only a small palace, and there are mothers-in-law and maids who fight and intrigue all day long, making the house restless, you naturally know that this should not be there, but there are some things that you don't know that you shouldn't have, so you can really not have them.

So talking to him, I feel very tired. He took advantage of everything in every way, but he couldn't implement it. It's just that the prince has worked hard, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to make a good profit in their mouths, so I'm just upset for the prince. ”

Dongmei frowned when she heard this, and she actually stood up and said, "Then I'll go and order someone to beat him out!"

Lin Zhixuan looked at Dongmei, who was suddenly a little childish, but felt cute, and raised her hand slightly to stop her: "You girl, how can you say that wind is rain, and listen to me after I finish speaking......"
