Su Niang's affairs, Hongchen doesn't want to care about it, presumably the Queen Mother will give her a way to live because she has been conscientious for many years, and the master and servant get along quite well. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's just that I'm afraid it's not going to be easy.

She could guess that there were many things that were not written in the Queen Mother's letter, for example, Su Niang was afraid that she had done something to the emperor.

Not to mention anything else, it is the secret medicine of the court of the former dynasty in the first emperor, I am afraid that it will be inseparable from Su Niang. She is a close confidant of the Queen Mother, and if this matter spreads, it will definitely cause an uproar. Thinking about it this way, if the Queen Mother and the current day are smart enough, it should be safer to let Su Niang disappear forever, but then again, there must be traces of things done, Su Niang's death is unknown, maybe it will be more troublesome, after all, although Su Niang is just one person, but she is not the only one who has connections with her, how many secrets are there, who knows?

It's still the same sentence, it's better to be still than to be still, this kind of thing, it's all about doing less and making fewer mistakes, doing more wrong, anyway, if you have a clear conscience, don't make trouble.

threw the letter sent by the Queen Mother directly into the charcoal basin and burned it clean, and Hongchen left the matter behind.

"Hey!"

Lin Xu didn't know when he entered the house, sat in front of the window, stared at the lively peace outside and sighed.

Hongchen blinked.

Lin Xu turned his head quite pitifully: "Today, Luo Niang is eating crispy pork bones for Ping An again, so it is better to avoid some people, so that others will see it." ”

Hongchen: "......" She swore that she didn't see Lin Gongzi drooling, her Lin Gongzi is not a gluttonous child!

In fact, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, Lin Xu used to run around outside, endure hardships, and he couldn't eat anything good, and he could settle for porridge and cabbage, but since he returned to the capital and was with Hongchen, he really couldn't enjoy all kinds of food, and naturally he inevitably became picky.

During the national funeral, life is not good, meat can not be eaten, can only eat some vegetarian dishes, in fact, vegetarian dishes are not bad, the chef at home is good, but people are so strange this kind of thing, the more he is not allowed to have anything, the more he thinks.

I haven't seen a bit of meat for several days, and Lin Xu can't stand it.

Hongchen smiled: "Bear with me." After a while, it will not be so conspicuous, it is okay to eat some meat dishes in private, looking at Lin Xu's unwilling appearance, she is a little happy, as soon as the emperor died, Lin Dagongzi's mood was not very good at first, and he was also a little nervous, but now he can eat and drink, presumably those depressions have long disappeared.

However, when it comes to eating, it really can't be like this all the time.

The two of them are okay, the daily activity is not large, they are in the rest time, they just have fun all day, and they eat a little vegetarian food, but the rest of the family is different, especially the people who practice martial arts, Hongchen secretly confessed in private, and used meat oil to cook for them, if they don't eat well, it will hurt the body.

There are also those children who can eat at the age of fourteen or fifteen, if they don't see meat for a long time, I'm afraid it will affect their growth.

Even Lin Xu began to ponder the desire to eat, Hongchen entered the palace to look at the Queen Mother, her old man's appetite is okay, even if she heard that the emperor has just sent out the people in the imperial dining room, it is not too serious, it is just that one person has played five boards.

Because the emperor found out that the food cooked for him was made with meat oil.

The Queen Mother was also helpless.

"This is a habit that has always been a habit, the palace is now vegetarian, but if the imperial dining room is not well served, he will have to eat and hang up when he turns around, besides, the emperor works hard every day, and he has to go to Feng'an Hall to kneel all day long, who dares to let him eat so much clear soup and little water? In case you eat a bad body, the imperial doctor said, the people in the imperial dining room have a few heads enough for us to cut off! ”

Hongchen sighed, most people know what the imperial dining room is doing, but they just turn a blind eye, no one cares, anyway, they enjoy the benefits themselves, and they don't have anything to do with it, but it's a pity that this time they met a more real emperor.

"You may not be able to taste it if you change to others, the chef over there in the imperial dining room has good skills, and he is not a fool, his hands and feet are clean, but our one has a great tongue."

The Queen Mother couldn't help but smile, "That's it, let him go, he is tense at this time, and his heart is uncomfortable, he is young, it doesn't hurt to consume it, wait for a while and then make up for him, it's you, but pay attention to the body, a woman's body, if you don't take good care of it when you're young, you will suffer when you're old." ”

Hongchen responded softly.

Niangniang looked good, but her sideburns were a little whiter, she may feel that she didn't care much about that person, but that person was gone, and she was uncomfortable after all. After decades of ups and downs, that person has long melted into his bones, no matter how much resentment, no matter how much hatred, where is he really willing to part?

Time flies, fast and slow.

In addition to clothes, although the palace is still white, the capital is gradually returning to its former prosperity, and the little girls in Hongchen's family have also changed into bright clothes and smeared some rouge gouache, after all, they are all young people, who can not love beauty?

Hongchen took out the fur clothes of the old year, as well as the objects that were afraid of moisture in the warehouse, and it happened that the weather was okay, so they were all dried and cleaned up.

"A lot of fabrics look old, these take them down and take them down to get a point, silk materials like this, once you put them down, they won't be fresh."

Hongchen glanced at it, and saw that the materials from the old years were not only not good, but also faded in some places, so he couldn't help frowning.

Luo Niang and Xiao Yan also sighed, it's not that they don't feel sorry for things, it's really too much material.

Because of mourning, I can't wear fresh clothes, but there are still a lot of rewards in the palace, and there are many examples, and the filial piety of the inner government is more than in previous years.

"My old clothes, don't wear your old clothes, take them out and send them to Shantang, let's make new ones."

Xiao Yan hurriedly responded.

In previous years, this was often the case, but this year I'm afraid I have to give it away more.

As he was talking, Lin Xu came in from outside, gray-faced, and he didn't know where he was covered in mud.

Hongchen hurriedly went over to sweep him, and pressed him to wash his hair, Lin Xu obediently asked the lady to water his head, and said with a smile: "I met a gentleman on the street today, galloped on the horse, and almost bumped into a child, so I took a handle and accidentally soiled my clothes." ”

“……”

Hongchen glanced at Xiao He, who was unhappy over there, and then looked at Wang Yuandao with a straight face, and the boys who were speechless.

Wang Yuandao coughed: "It's because we don't care." "So many people followed, and his son-in-law was almost injured, it's a shame to think about it, but at this moment, seeing the appearance of Xiao He's head hanging and breaking his fingers, he was reluctant to scold him.

Hongchen didn't say anything, just hurriedly asked Lin Xu to change his clothes, rest for a while, and go out later.

The two of them discussed that they were going to the Lin family today.

Hongchen has never entered the door of the Lin family, but in fact, Lin Xu is a member of the Lin family, even if he has hardly been back for many years, but the two have been married for so long, if the bride doesn't even see her mother-in-law's family, Hongchen himself feels a little uncomfortable.

Lin Xu also thought about it for a while, and finally decided to take Hongchen back, starting to prepare a few days ago, all kinds of gifts were prepared, and now if it is delayed because of other things, I am afraid that it will make the women and children of the Lin family uneasy.

"I didn't go back before, because I was afraid of causing trouble to them and causing trouble again, but now I don't have to worry about it."

Lin Xu smiled.

Therefore, the death of that emperor is not all bad.

Hongchen also smiled, thinking about whether the gifts he wanted to bring were enough, and when he looked up, he saw that Lin Xu was a little stunned, and his eyes were full of surprise.

Also, Lin Xu's days in the Lin family were very short, very short, he grew up on the battlefield, he suffered a great disaster at a young age, and he did not enjoy a day of happiness, so he endured all the hardships. In a blink of an eye, his family was wronged, but he had long forgotten what his house was like, and the people in his family had become very few.

The gifts prepared by Hongchen can be loaded in a small carriage, it's not that she hasn't prepared enough, but in fact, there are few people left in the dignified Lin family.

The old lady is 100 years old, and her body is fine.

Lin Xu's parents have died, and the uncles are gone, leaving a five-room cousin, a six-room cousin, and two cousins, the cousin is an adopted child from his grandfather's death, and has never been married, a third aunt, a fifth aunt, a second aunt and several other aunts, over the years, some have died of depression, some have been riddled with diseases, and some have died of illness on the bed.

Washed clean, changed into a neat and neat clothes, Hongchen did not wear cumbersome clothes, did not apply fat powder, the two of them entered the carriage together, and slowly walked towards the Lin family.

Seeing the current gate of the Lin family from a distance, the carriage stopped, and the surrounding people also stopped to watch the excitement.

The front of the street was sealed, and someone from the inner court came to announce the decree.

Hongchen understood at a glance: "Your Majesty has begun to reward the old ministers." ”

Lin Xu nodded, smiled unconsciously, the door could be seen open in front, the old lady led the family to go out generously to receive the order, and there was no need for others to support him when he walked, obviously his body was indeed healthy, and the family was neither humble nor arrogant, although there was no joy, there was no resentment.

In fact, this is very good, resentment can only make people miserable, after so many years, if you still complain, can you not complain to your children and grandchildren without limit?

Although unwilling, it can only be so.

Now that the reputation of the family has been restored, the dignified king of Xinjiang, Lin is invincible, and the name can be preserved after death, which is enough for them.

Lin Xu and Hongchen did not step forward until the departure of the previous decree and the crowd dispersed, and then drove forward.

The door was still open, obviously the family had been waiting, Lin Xu helped Hongchen get out of the car, and the little guy looked at him with joy on his face, turned around and ran in while shouting.

The smile on Lin Xu's face couldn't help but get thicker, just a moment, their old princess, the old lady came out in a hurry, looked at Lin Xu, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't talk to him, but took a few steps, gently held Hongchen's arm, and tears rolled down: "Good boy, the old body wants to thank you, thank you, thanks to you, our Lin family is where we are today, and thanks to you for taking care of my poor child." ”

Hongchen was clasped tightly by her old man's arm, and she didn't say anything, and she didn't need to say anything.

The old man lost his husband and child, suffered for many years, no one told him, and he couldn't say anything even now, so it's not a bad thing to vent at this time.

Hongchen only paid attention to her pulse and breathing, worried that the old man would be too excited and hurt his body again, so he didn't mention anything else.

When it came to the third and fifth aunts in the back, they hurriedly came over to persuade them, with a smile on their faces: "Don't cry your old man, this is a big day, our brother Xu brought his daughter-in-law back to see you, you have to laugh, you can't cry." ”

The third aunt is obviously a bold character, and she speaks well in front of the old man, so she coaxed the old lady with a word, wiped her tears, and turned around and pulled Hongchen into the door: "Yes, today we are all laughing, and no one is crying." ”

Entering the door, Hongchen's heart was also sour, the Lin family looked empty, and it could be seen that the house was a good house, but it lacked popularity, although it was clean, it was deserted, and there were not many people.

Lin Xu's expression was a little gloomy, I heard my father say that back then, there were many heirs in their Lin family, and there were also many retainers and generals, and when they lived in the old palace, they were a little unable to live, and they were crowded around all day long, and it was not good to make a fuss.

After many years of widowhood, and for so many years, the door of the Lin family has been closed, and there have never been outsiders, and the family is not good at talking, so they seem a little dull and silent, but they can't stop talking when they pull Hongchen and Lin Xu to sit in the house, and they keep asking left and right, asking Lin Xu if he has been doing well these years, and asking Hongchen if his married life is still harmonious, full of worries and blessings.

Hongchen is not annoyed, and tells the daily messy trivial chores, especially about Lin Xu, not all the good news or bad news, but also said that his small problems, such as forgetting to eat as soon as he worked, and complained again and again that it was because those meals were not in line with his appetite, and he also talked about the dangers he had experienced over the years, which was thrilling, of course, in the end, all of them were averted.

The Lin family listened seriously, as if they wanted to understand all of Lin Xu's life over the years in one go, if so, it was as if there was no separation, and the family had been living together.

Until the conversation and the meal, everyone became very familiar, and they were not strangers at all.

The meals are all home-cooked, simple, ordinary, cooked by the third and fifth aunts themselves, but they are exquisite and delicious.

The family didn't share the meal, they sat around, and the old lady also deliberately took the wine out, "This is still brewed when the old prince was here, after so many years, it should be opened for you to taste, drink some, everyone drinks." ”

The old man also filled himself up, and everyone let go of the drink, even Lin Xu and Hongchen didn't say anything, and drank happily.

After three rounds of drinking, the old lady lowered her head and wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye: "After the New Year, our family will rebuild the ancestral tomb, you all go to kowtow to the old man, and our family, our family Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi has been wronged for those years after leaving home, and let him enjoy the incense of our family."
