Zhao Liniang looked at the pink glutinous rice balls in her hand, and before she tasted the sweetness of the glutinous rice balls, a sweet smile was already on her face. Looking up at her husband and daughter in front of me, I felt a moment of trance in my heart, as if everything that happened in the past was just a nightmare, and as if everything that happened at this moment was a beautiful dream I was making.

Lin Zhihuai had already taken a bite of glutinous rice balls, nodded happily to Zhao Liniang, and said: "Liniang, Wan'er is not exaggerating at all, this pastry is really delicious, I have never eaten such a peculiar and delicious glutinous rice ball." ”

Lin Wan also looked at Zhao Liniang expectantly, and said continuously: "Yes, mother, it's really sweet." Taste it, Wan'er didn't lie to you!"

Zhao Liniang smiled and nodded, brushed the broken hair in front of Lin Wan's forehead, and said meaningfully: "My mother has such a well-behaved daughter as Wan'er, my mother's heart is sweet, and eating Coptis chinensis is sweet." ”

Lin Wanjiao called out "mother", gently hugged Zhao Liniang's arm, leaned on her shoulder and coquettishly, and suddenly felt that she was the happiest daughter in the world who was distressed by her mother and loved by her father.

Zhao Liniang gently took a bite of glutinous rice balls, nodded with a smile, looked at Bing'er at the door, and praised: "Bing'er really has a heart, this glutinous rice ball is just right, sweet and soft, with excellent taste and moderate sweetness, it is really delicious in the world." ”

Bing'er stood at the gate of the courtyard, heard Lin Zhihuai and Zhao Liniang's praise from a distance, and immediately raised a smile on her face, bowed her knees to Lin Zhihuai and Zhao Liniang, and gave a thank you salute.

Lin Zhihuai and Zhao Liniang finished eating the glutinous rice balls in their hands, Chen's mother just sent three bowls of hot tea, Zhao Liniang picked up the plate on the table, handed it to Chen's mother, and said softly: "Mother Chen, you can take the remaining few pieces of glutinous rice balls and divide them, Cuihuan and Cui Pei have been busy with the affairs of the house these days, and it is very hard." You, Cuihu, and Cuishan helped out at the Zhao family, and you were tired enough. It's rare that you are so hearted, and you will come back to me as soon as you have time today, which makes me very moved in my heart, if it were not for you, I would not have survived today. ”

Mother Chen did not refuse, took the glutinous rice cake in Zhao Liniang's hand, her eyes were tearful, she nodded, and said with a smile: "Madam, everything has passed, you and the master are so affectionate, just like when you first got married." We are relieved to see your hard work and happy for you. After speaking, holding the glutinous rice balls, she turned around and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and slowly walked to the back of the main hall, where she and Cuihuan, Cuipei, Cuihu, Cuishan and others were roomed.

Zhao Liniang looked at the back of Chen's mother leaving, her eyes were also a little red, and there was some emotion and resentment in her eyes.

Lin Wan stretched out his hand to gently hold Zhao Liniang's hand, and at the same time, Lin Zhihuai also reached out to hold Zhao Liniang's other hand, and the two of them used their own strength to encourage and comfort Zhao Liniang at the same time, which suddenly made the grievances in Zhao Liniang's heart come to naught.

A family of three sat in the afternoon sun drinking tea, and Lin Zhihuai slowly recounted the people and things he encountered when he attended Xing Han and Zhao Jing'er's wedding in Xingfu yesterday. Lin Wan also told how Meng Xiangqin taught Zhao Jing'er a lesson yesterday, and was later relieved by her own wit.

The relationship between Lin Zhihuai and Xing Dewu, Zhao Liniang knows. But Zhao Liniang and Meng Xiangqin have not met, because when Xing Dewu was still in the capital, he did not bring his wife Meng Xiangqin to the capital, and Meng Xiangqin has always served her in-laws in her hometown in Shandong.

Zhao Liniang had heard her second sister-in-law Xing Xirong say a lot of things about Meng Xiangqin before, and she didn't have a good impression of Meng Xiangqin, and she was even very worried about Zhao Jing'er's situation. However, after listening to Lin Wan's narration, she put her mind at ease and said lightly: "Although Meng Xiangqin has a grudge against her second sister-in-law and Jing'er, after all, she is still a person who takes care of the overall situation, and she must not be too embarrassed Jing'er, after everyone has been together for a long time, they will naturally understand each other better and be more tolerant." Although Jing'er speaks straight, she has a good heart, is kind and filial, and will eventually be recognized and loved by her parents-in-law. ”

Lin Zhihuai nodded, and talked about the decision announced by the emperor in the early court today. After such a long time of controversy and open and secret fighting in the court, Zhou Changan finally issued an order to transfer Wang Ronggang, the former prefect of Fujian, back to the capital and serve as the left attendant of the household department. Xing Han, the former head of the household who just got married yesterday, temporarily took over the post of Fujian prefect, and if Xing Han made some achievements in Fujian within one year, he could officially take office. And within this year, if there is any mistake, Zhou Changan can re-appoint someone else at any time and replace Xing Han back.

This matter had already been expected by Lin Wan, so there was no big surprise, but another thing that caught Lin Wan's attention. She thought for a while, frowned and asked, "Daddy, my cousin is now transferred back to the capital to serve as the left waiter of the household department, so where did the original left waiter Liu Zhicheng go?"

Lin Zhihuai raised his eyes and looked at Lin Wan inquiringly, a little curious why Lin Wan knew about Liu Zhicheng? However, this daughter gave Lin Zhihuai too many surprises, so Lin Zhihuai did not dwell on this matter, but answered all questions, and said: "Liu Zhicheng was found to have lost the treasury and forged account books, and he has been dismissed and investigated, and is being examined by the Dali Division. However, not many people know about this matter, because it is not appropriate to talk about the emptiness of the treasury now. ”

Lin Wan suddenly realized that she had already known that Xing Han had already obtained the account book in Liu Zhicheng's hand and handed it to Zhou Changan as evidence. However, Zhou Changan has not made any moves. Lin Wan also thought that Zhou Changan didn't want to move Qin Lizhong for the time being, and he didn't want to tear his face with Lu Qishan, so he didn't take any action. didn't expect that it was because Qin Lizhong had already bought off Liu Zhicheng and asked him to bear all the crimes.

Lin Zhihuai saw that Lin Wan was silent, and did not continue, picked up the teacup, took a sip gently, and slowly put it down.

Lin Wan thought for a long time, finally raised her head, looked at Lin Zhihuai, frowned and asked, "Daddy, what does the emperor mean by this arrangement?"

Lin Zhihuai smiled faintly, looked at Lin Wan with appreciation, and slowly spoke: "Of course, the emperor knows who is behind this matter. However, that person couldn't even be touched by the emperor. Therefore, since Qin Lizhong has found a scapegoat, and he is willing to take on the aftermath of filling the deficit in the treasury, why wouldn't the emperor do it?"

Lin Wan's eyes lit up, and he nodded thoughtfully, as if there was some joint, and finally figured it out. However, her brows were still tightly locked, and it seemed that there was something wrong with her, which she couldn't figure out.
