Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Reward of the Pit Father
Lin Yu thought about it for a day and didn't have a clue, so he sent someone to send a letter to Yin Susu, but he didn't expect Yin Susu to arrive in person the next day.
"Crescent moon to pour tea." sat down with each other, Qingqing told Yahuan to pour tea,
"I'm not in a hurry to drink tea, you bring the invitation to me first, and I'll see if it's true or not." Yin Susu waved his hand and said, "I'm worried that someone will calculate you and trick you into making a fool of yourself with a fake invitation." ”
Although Yin Susu did not name her, Lin Yu also knew that she was guessing that Zhang Wan'er or the eldest grandson Ling Rong's strategy made Lin Yu embarrassed.
"Pearl, go get that post." Lin Yu said to Pearl.
Soon, Pearl went upstairs to bring the post, and the pink silk and gold-edged gold letters looked quite valuable.
"It's true, that's kind of weird." Yin Susu took the invitation card in his hand and looked at it, there was no doubt about the genuine product, but he also had some doubts in his heart.
"I also participated in the Peach Blossom Banquet in the past, and I also helped when Princess Panyang presided over the Peach Blossom Banquet last year. Generally speaking, only those who have a knighthood in the family, or the young lady of the family of an official above the second rank of the senior member, are extraordinarily gracious, and most of them are well-known ladies in Beijing, and their family background cannot be too weak. After all, this banquet is generally for the princes to choose the main concubine and the side concubine, so identity is a very important thing. ”
Yin Susu didn't say it, Lin Yu also knew his identity, not to mention that he was nominally married once, even if he wasn't, he couldn't even reach the side of the peach blossom banquet. The daughter of a deceased seven-rank petty official, those families look at themselves for their own sons and nephews, mainly because of the good relationship between the family wealth and Yin Susu.
"Otherwise. I'm not going. "Appreciate the peach blossoms, where can you enjoy them, do you have to go to such a troublesome place? What a peach blossom banquet, it's basically a draft.
"No, I can't. If it's a real invitation, you're going to go anyway. Yin Susu immediately objected.
"Won't those young ladies trouble me?" Lin Yu didn't quite understand why Yin Susu was so opposed, "The eldest grandson Ling Rong before. Her father is still a third-grade official, and he came to find trouble. At this time in this peach blossom banquet, those people's identities are more noble than the eldest grandson Lingrong, won't they embarrass me? ”
"Few people would be so stupid, this invitation was set by the palace, and the host was also rotated by several eldest princesses. It's not impossible to make trouble, but don't think about marrying a good family in the future. Yin Susu smiled.
"Sister Susu. You also said that this invitation was set by the palace, so how could the palace think of me? Do you really want to marry me to a prince as a side concubine? No matter how stupid Lin Yu is, he knows that it is very difficult for him to marry a high-ranking official and a nobleman as a main room, and in fact, even the side concubine is not very qualified.
"To be honest, I didn't come up with a reason, your identity really can't be married. So be it. I also have a little way to go in the palace, so I'll help you inquire. Yin Susu thought about it and didn't come to a conclusion, she had to meet a few important people later.
"Wouldn't it be too much trouble?" Lin Yu didn't know what Yin Susu had to do with Yin Susu in the palace, "Is it still the eldest princess of Panyang who is presiding over this year?" ”
"This year is the eldest princess of Qingning, I am not familiar with her, but she is gentle and kind, don't worry. Besides, it's just a matter of asking for news, it's nothing. Yin Susu smiled and waved his hand, and didn't take two sips of tea. I left in a hurry, obviously waiting for something.
Lin Yu picked up the beautiful invitation and looked at it, and threw the invitation back to the table angrily. To be honest, she didn't want to marry an ancient person at all, and the difference between this concept was even worse than that of a transnational marriage. She has a good life and a lot of money. Wait for Qingqing's side to do something, travel around the country, and then find a good place to recuperate.
It's a pity that sometimes things are not so satisfactory, and if the palace points to marriage, even if you can think of getting out, it is very troublesome. But then again, she doesn't go out much often, she doesn't know many people, and the possibility of someone falling in love with her is basically zero. And although the appearance is quite beautiful, it has not yet reached the point where Yin Susu is out of print, not to mention the noble background, and it is not even innocent.
Lin Yu was irritable and couldn't sit still at all, walking around the room with his head down, but he smelled a faint and extremely elegant aroma, and his heart seemed to be a lot calmer when he smelled this fragrance.
Lin Yu looked up and saw Qingqing close the lid of the incense burner, and said to her with a smile, "Don't worry too much, there is always a way for the soldiers to block the water and cover the earth." Last year was so tough, and we didn't come. ”
This is also what he said, Lin Yu nodded when he thought about it, and he was a lot quieter. When I first came to ancient times, I faced a complete mess, the original owner's health was not good, his career was not smooth, his feelings were not smooth, and his reputation was not good. Now that you have money, a house, a field shop business, and a few peach blossoms blooming around you, what are you afraid of?
Yes, Lin Yu is not as unlucky as last year, probably starting to go out of his peach blossom luck. After all, Lin Yu is quite beautiful, has a good temper, and is considered to have a lot of money, and he is a little knowledgeable and talented, and he is still quite likable. participated in several social activities and got along a few times, and there were also several sons who had a good impression of Lin Yu, and they could be regarded as people with good character.
However, Lin Yu hesitated in her heart, she always thought that as a woman, she always had to have a child as the inheritance of her bloodline. But get married at fifteen or sixteen? Choose the father of your child from among these people? She couldn't make up her mind, although these people were good, but they couldn't make her have the determination to face the problems faced by marrying an ancient man.
But fortunately, she is not too old at the moment, and Da Zhou has Hu blood, which makes the social atmosphere very open, and the marriage age is generally late. It's nothing for unmarried men and women to travel together, so you can get in touch with it temporarily. Even if you fall in love first, it won't necessarily affect your future marriage, as long as you don't have too much intimacy, it's well known.
After thinking about it, Lin Yu also made up her mind, she has a lot of things to do these days, Steward Chen will only help her for a few months, Lin Yu sent a few young servants to study with Steward Chen, and now they have not yet left the school. The spice shop over there in Qingqing has been cleaned up, and the decoration is almost done, and it is preparing to open.
Qingqing watched Lin Yu calm down. also laughed, "You still forgot something, since you have to participate in this peach blossom banquet, don't you want to buy some clothes and jewelry?" Not to mention a big occasion like the Peach Blossom Banquet. Even ordinary ladies have to make some beautiful spring clothes in order to travel. You're still wearing those old clothes, and I don't like it anymore. ”
Lin Yu is really not very sensitive to fashion attire, and he is not cold. Seven or eight out of ten girls at their Polytechnic University don't know how to wear makeup, and most of those who can do makeup have already done it, and everyone else is too lazy to learn.
"It's not new this year, but it's pretty good." Lin Yu scratched her head, those ancient costumes were all made of silk and satin, they were indeed very gorgeous, and they were all very good-looking in her eyes. It's a waste to make new ones. She used to love to eat and not to wear, and she could spend hundreds of oceans to eat, but she was reluctant to buy clothes for the same few hundred yuan.
"It's not popular anymore, okay, you're not short of silver." As soon as Qingqing saw Lin Yu's face, she knew what she was thinking, "You can't even tell if the clothes are trendy or not." ”
"How can you?" Lin Yu turned his gaze away. Actually, I really can't see what's popular.
"My heart is empty." Qingqing glanced at her with slanted eyes, "The clothes on your body are all in the style of the year before last, they are all narrow sleeves and high necks." This year, the popular ones are the large sleeves and tulle half-arms that are half a meter wide, and the heart is a warm color like pink, and you should wear the embroidery and prints of spring flowers in the spring, and you also wore an autumn dress last time, but fortunately I saw it. ”
Talk somebody's ear off. Chattering, Qingqing seems to be very knowledgeable about clothing. Also, she was the big girl who was in charge of Mrs. Lin's clothes before. However, Lin Yu still couldn't understand at all, he was not wearing no clothes, how could he cause Qingqing to be so indignant?
Qingqing looked at Lin Yu's stupid appearance that was not interested at all, but ended the lecture with great interest. Decide to discuss it with a professional.
"So, let's go to the silk village opened by Mrs. Yin this afternoon, her family has always been the largest, and it is also the silk village that dominates the popularity in Beijing." Qingqing came to a conclusion, "You have to make more clothes, what else do you have to do if you have money and no food and clothing?" ”
"No need." Lin Yu lamented. "It's like the feeling of an upstart."
"Why is it unnecessary? Even the nouveau riche have to explode beautifully. Qingqing took out the momentum of being in charge, "By the way, I have to go to Yinlou to buy some new jewelry." ”
"It's a lot of silver." Lin Yu began to feel a little distressed about money, although the jewelry is also gold, silver and gemstones, but it is still real money.
"You've been counting the money these days, and you're still worried about the cost, and you don't need more than a thousand taels of silver. I was too unsuccessful to find out that you still have the temperament of an iron rooster. Qingqing glanced at Lin Yu, "Don't talk nonsense, anyway, just go to Rongxifang with me in the afternoon." ”
Qingqing ruthlessly deprived Lin Yu of the right to take a nap, and dragged Lin Yu out after lunch, and then didn't come back until the evening.
This can make Lin Yu tired, but Qingqing is very interested, but neither of them is free, and before they sit down, they haven't taken a sip of tea, and Pearl said.
"Mrs. Yin just sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that the matter inquired about before has come to fruition." Yin Susu's mobility has always been amazing, and his movements are fast, so he has the current success.
"How can it be so fast? Now there are results? Lin Yu was originally half-lying on the soft couch and immediately straightened up, "Take it to me and take a look." ”
Pearl heard the words and went to take the letter and handed it to Lin Yu, the letter was very well sealed, and it was written on it that Lin Yu had personally opened it, which was Yin Susu's handwriting. Lin Yu opened the letter, there were only two pages, not many words, and he read it at once. But she smiled bitterly before she finished reading it.
"What's that? This reward is too deceitful. ”
Seeing Lin Yu wail when he read the letter, Qingqing took out the letter from Lin Yu's white fingers, and a wry smile appeared on his face, "These superiors always do things with their own minds, but they don't know how much trouble Lu Dao brings to others. However, after all, it can be regarded as the emperor's grace. ”
The cause of this incident was the telescope and the trip to the lake, and the seventh and sixth princes heard about the telescope and were very interested in it, so they must have reported it to the emperor. Lin Yu offered the recipe through Yin Susu, hoping that he could get this credit. It's not that Lin Yu doesn't expect to get a title like Yin Susu, in fact, she also understands that although the credit is not small, it is not so big.
But even if real money is not rewarded, tax exemption is not rewarded, and it is good to reward a plaque and mention a word. In ancient times when the imperial power was like the sky, there was such an inscription on the imperial plaque, and Lin Yu basically didn't have to worry about the wicked bullying him.
It seems that the emperor also planned to do so at the beginning, and just give a plaque to exempt a field tax and add some gold, silver and handicrafts. It's a pity that Lu Guifei, the mother of the second prince, wanted to show favor to Yin Susu, who was not good with Lu Guifei, the mother of the third prince, and even proposed to the emperor that for a little girl, a good marriage is the most important thing. After all, although Lin Yu is still a yellow flower girl, she has already earned the reputation of abandoning her concubine, and she has no parents to worry about, so it is not easy to marry.
The emperor seemed to be very reasonable when he heard it, and the concubine was thoughtful. Lu Guifei made persistent efforts and said that the peach blossom banquet was about to be held, so it was better to invite her over to the banquet and get married by the way. When the emperor heard this, he felt that he could solve people's worries, be anxious about people's urgency, and better reflect the virtue of rewarding his merits, so he personally instructed Lu Guifei and Princess Qingning to add Lin Yu's name to it.
Then the imperial gift plaque of Lin Yu's dream was gone, and the gold and silver rewards were gone. The preferential treatment of exempting land tax and forced labor is also in turmoil, because Yin Susu said that he would think of someone to help Lin Yu say something.
It's so hateful, Lu Guifei, what kind of mouth do you have? After reading the letter, Lin Yu threw himself on the bed and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. And I heard that there are still vacant places for the second prince's side concubine and Mrs. Ru, who is serious about entering the family tree. The letter also said that it could not be ruled out that in order to win over Yin Susu and Lin Yu, a little rich woman with strong financial resources, Lu Guifei would think of marrying Lin Yu to the second prince.
The royal battle is so terrifying that if you are not careful, you may fall into it, the loser will definitely not be alive, and the winner may not be able to get out of it. In addition, the battle in the harem and the back house is so fierce, Lin Yu's identity and character really go to the house to fight for power, and he almost hangs the two big characters of loser. Or rather, cannon fodder.
I don't want to be cannon fodder! Lin Yu was extremely depressed, she had just gotten rid of the triple cannon fodder identity of the concubine, cousin, and infatuated girl in the romance drama of the Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion, how could she see that she was going to be the cannon fodder in the plot of someone else's power plot house fight. Especially the house fighting in the palace is very dangerous, not to mention whether it can be favored or not, if Lin Yu is not careful, he may be on the field.
It's easy to live again, the small life is very leisurely, who wants to take the poop down? Lin Yu was determined to work hard again, and he must mess up Lu Guifei's calculations. (To be continued.)
