When Lin and Mrs. Wang heard Wang Shilang say this, they understood why Wang Shilang said that the emperor valued Lin Chen. After Mrs. Wang and her mother Lin turned around and went to the backyard, Lin Chen said to Wang Shilang in private, "

"Auntie, Chen'er has something to ask for."

"What?"

"Can my aunt beg Prime Minister Zhao Pu to find a vacancy in Yanshan Mansion for Chen'er?"

After listening to Lin Chen's words, Wang Shilang understood Lin Chen's purpose of wanting the official vacancy of Yanshan Mansion, pondered for a while, and said to Lin Chen:

"This matter can be mentioned to Prime Minister Zhao Cheng, but if it can be done, don't give too high expectations."

"Thank you, aunt, Chen'er."

Next, Lin Chen was in the mansion, anxiously waiting for the will of the dispatcher. Five days later, in the evening, Wang Shilang returned to the mansion, because Lin Chen waited in the living room in the front yard almost every day, but there was no need to let the next person shout.

"Auntie, is there any news?"

Lin Chen saw Wang Shilang nodded, and his heart rose to his throat. Wang Shilang sat down, took a sip of tea first, and then took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Lin Chen. Lin Chen thought that what was written on it was where he was sent to be an official, so he took it and opened it to see that it was four lines of juanxiu handwriting.

Little no suspicion,

Who expected the phoenix to fly and the phoenix to be beautiful.

Yanshan Fuli Festival Day,

Burn incense and candles on behalf of comforting thoughts.

Seeing that the handwriting was obviously from the girl's hand, Lin Chen couldn't think of who wrote it for a while, and couldn't help but look up at Wang Shilang suspiciously.

"It was the eldest princess who asked me to hand it over to you. The prime minister said, you don't need him to choose an official for you, the eldest princess has already decided for you to take the position of Yanshan Mansion Yadian History, and there will be a will tomorrow. ”

Lin Chen looked down at the poems on the paper in his hand again, the meaning was very clear, the first sentence was to write that he and Xiao Yiran had no guesses, and their hearts were in touch. The second sentence is to write about Xiao Yiran's immortal death, leaving a lonely self. The third or fourth sentence is that when the eldest princess asked her to go to Yanshan Mansion to pay tribute to Xiao Yiran, she also burned incense and worshiped on her behalf. At this point, Lin Chen felt a little better when he saw that Princess Yinghui was so considerate.

"Auntie, after I don't know the will, how many days can I get up and go to work?"

"Generally, officials will be given a few days off. Of course, if you want to go to Yanshan Mansion quickly, it is not impossible to leave early. ”

Lin Chen said goodbye to Wang Shilang, came to the backyard, first went to his mother's room, and told his mother Lin about the fact that he had been selected for the post of Yanshan Mansion Yadian History. Lin looked at his son with a smile on his face, but he became worried.

"Chen'er, now that she has been given marriage by the emperor, if the matter with Miss Xiao is known to the eldest princess, will it be bad?"

Lin didn't dare to say anything serious, for fear of provoking Lin Chen's sadness, so he had to ask tentatively.

"Mother rest assured, the shortage of Yanshan Mansion is still arranged by the eldest princess asking the saint, and the eldest princess still has a message to Chen'er, so that when Chen'er goes to Yanshan Mansion to pay tribute to Ran'er's sister, she will also put incense on her behalf."

"Is that true?"

"Naturally, take it seriously, mother."

Lin Chen handed the paper brought by the eldest princess to the Lin family, and the Lin family also knew a few words, because the meaning of the eldest princess's poems was very simple, and the Lin family could roughly understand it. After reading it, I couldn't help but say happily:

"Chen'er, my mother is relieved now. I thought that the princess was high and might not be able to embarrass Chen'er in the future, but I didn't expect the princess to be so understanding. Chen'er, you have to treat people well in the future. ”

"The child knows."

The next day's decree was to arrive in the afternoon, and there was nothing else, just that Feng Linchen was the history of the Yanshan Mansion, and he would be given a month off and go to Yunyun on a certain day. After Lin Chen received the holy decree, he began to pack his luggage that night. Because Wang Shilang and his wife and the Lin family never thought that Lin Chen, who was named the captain of the concubine, would go to work abroad, neither the subordinates nor the daily necessities were ready.

"Chen'er, it's not bad for this day, let the housekeeper pick a few entourages for you tomorrow, and then set off early the day after tomorrow."

Old Madam Wang spoke, and Lin Chen had no choice but to comply. Another day passed, the housekeeper in the house bought Lin Chen two sixteen or seventeen-year-old servants, and a long-term entourage in his thirties, and handed over the deeds of sale of the three to the Lin family for collection. Early the next morning, the four of them set off for Yanshan Mansion. Because Lin Chen remembered Xiao Yiran's funeral in his heart, although he knew that he rushed over in the starry night, he was afraid that he would miss it, but Lin Chen still stayed overnight and rushed to Yanshan Mansion without the slightest delay. After a journey of more than ten days, Lin Chen only took nine days to arrive.

When he came to Yanshan Mansion it was already dusk, Lin Chen didn't care about getting the official documents from the government office, so he first found an inn to live in, briefly freshened up, and took a small servant to the government office. At this time, the government had already closed, and Lin Chen asked the official guarding the door to make a report, saying that the new Dianshi had come to visit the Xiao Governor's Mansion.

Xiao Guoliang, who had already returned to the mansion, heard that the new Dianshi had arrived, and he was going to visit him so late, and he also had some doubts in his heart. Yanshan Mansion is a classic history, Xiao Guoliang has been reporting for a long time, and he doesn't want to arrive today. What makes Xiao Guoliang puzzle is that it is getting late today, why doesn't the new Dianshi wait for tomorrow to report after he goes to the court? Doubts are doubts, Xiao Guoliang still let people speak:

"Please invite the new Dianshi to the living room in the front yard to serve tea."

Immediately, Xiao Guoliang also changed into the official mansion and came to the living room in the front yard. As soon as I entered the door, I saw a young figure standing in the living room, and I vaguely felt a little familiar. Just as he was about to ask, he saw the young man fall to the ground with a thud, and said:

"Uncle Xiao."

Then he began to weep bitterly.

Only then did Xiao Guoliang recognize the new Yanshan Mansion Dian Shi, which turned out to be Lin Chen. hurriedly stepped forward to help Lin Chen, who was kneeling on the ground, up. After looking at it carefully for a while, he was thinking in his heart that Lin Chen had already become the eldest princess, and according to the convention, he should not be assigned a real position, let alone an external appointment.

"When did you arrive?"

"Back to my uncle's words, I just arrived."

"How could the imperial court send you to be the history of Yanshan Mansion?"

Xiao Guoliang asked subconsciously.

"It was Chen'er who asked my aunt to beg Prime Minister Zhao, and then the eldest princess helped to get this position."

Speaking of which, Xiao Guoliang already understood. Lin Chen couldn't forget Xiao Yiran, so he sought this position and wanted to come to Yanshan Mansion to pay tribute to his daughter.

"Ran'er's funeral has been hosted by Lord Wang of the Ministry of Rites ten days ago, and His Royal Highness is the chief priest and buried under the South Mountain outside the city."

Without Lin Chen opening his mouth to ask, Xiao Guoliang said it. Lin Chen didn't notice Xiao Guoliang's expression at this time, if he had the heart to look at it, Xiao Guoliang's face didn't have much sadness, just a little unhappy.

"Uncle, Chen'er wants to see Aunt Sun, and before leaving, my mother explained it."

Xiao Guoliang knew that at this time, his wife Sun was talking with his daughter Xiao Yiran, first, although Lin Chen was young, after all, he was already an official, if the relationship with his daughter was still there, it would be nothing to go to the backyard to meet Sun. It's just that it's not the past, and since Lin Chen brought it up, it can't be said if he doesn't let him see it. Immediately said to Zhao Qing outside the living room:

"Go and ask Mrs. to come over, and say that the new Dian Shi Lin Chen will visit."

"Yes, sir."

Zhao Qing agreed, turned around and went to the backyard.

Indeed, at this time, Xiao Yiran was talking to his mother Sun, and the two were also speculating about why the new historian came to visit the mansion at this time. Suddenly, I heard Xiaolian walk in from the outside and say:

"Madam, the lord asked Zhao Qing to pass the word, saying that the new Dianshi Lin Chen came to see him, and asked Madame to go to the front yard."

Xiao Yiran, who was sitting in the chair, heard the word Lin Chen and stood up suddenly. I just stood stunned for a while, and then sat down with tears streaming down my face. Bow your head and just wipe your tears with the handkerchief.

"Yes."

Sun leaned over and gently stroked his daughter's back, silently comforting. After a long time, Xiao Yiran stopped crying and said to his mother in a choked voice:

"Mother, let's go, Ran'er has gone back to the room."

After Xiao Yiran stood up and Xiao Xing followed him towards his room, Sun cleaned up his mood and came to the front yard. As soon as he entered the living room, Lin Chen knelt down.

"Aunt Sun, the mother asked the child to say hello on her behalf, and the old girl."

"Wake up in the morning."

Xiaolian beside her helped Lin Chen up for the Sun family. Sun looked at the young man in front of him who he hadn't seen for more than two years, although he had grown a lot, his face was not good-looking, and his body was thinner. Sun knew that Lin Chen couldn't let go of his daughter in his heart, thinking that the two young men and women who knew each other were separated in this way, and because of this, it was difficult for his daughter to marry in this life, and his heart was unbearable for a while, and tears fell down his eyes.

"Aunt Sun, it's all bad in the morning."

Lin Chen saw that Sun was crying miserably, and he also shed tears.

"The good wife is slow to cry, Lin Chen has been working day and night, all the way, let's arrange the kitchen to prepare the meal first."

Xiao Guoliang saw that both of them were crying, so he had to persuade his wife first. After hearing this, Sun wiped the tears on his face with a handkerchief, but his two eyes were not obedient at all, and the more he looked at Lin Chen, the more sad he felt for his daughter. I can't wipe the tears off my face. In the end, Lin Chen held back his crying first, knelt on the ground again, and after bowing to Xiao Guoliang and his wife, he stood up and said:

"Uncle, Aunt Sun, Chen'er won't bother. Go back to the inn first, and wait for tomorrow to hand over the official documents in the court, and then come back to bother in the future. ”

Xiao Guoliang politely stayed before asking Zhao Qing to send Lin Chen out of the mansion.

After Sun waited for Lin Chen to leave, he returned to his room, and he didn't care about anything else, he was worried that his daughter would be too sad, and he didn't want to go over to accompany his daughter with tears in his eyes. I couldn't help but say to Xiao Guoliang:

"Why did you choose to come to Yanshan Mansion as an official, how will you let Ran'er live in the future?"

Lin Chen is also kind-hearted, he begged the prime minister, and the eldest princess helped him to get this position. I think I'm here to worship Ran'er. ”

"Husband, how is this good? When Ran'er heard Lin Chen's words just now, she had already cried bitterly, wouldn't she have to wash her face with tears every day in the future? ”

"Don't worry, good wife, wait tomorrow for your husband to check if there are vacancies in Kyushu below, if it is suitable, just temporarily transfer Lin Chen to leave the mansion."
