The tea ceremony was finally over.

Lin Zhu, who was physically and mentally exhausted, got up to say goodbye, and before the words of farewell could be spoken, Jin Xiaoguang smiled and said first: "Okay, you go back first, you won't be left here to eat." ”

Thanks for not keeping food, Lin Zhu couldn't wait to go back early.

Turn around and go.

Sima Yunzhu sternly stopped her and said, "Sister Zhu'er, wait a minute." ，”

What's wrong with it? Lin Zhu stopped and turned around, with a fake smile that couldn't be faked anymore, and asked softly, "Sister Princess, what advice do you have?" ”

Very knowledgeable question.

Sima Yunzhu paused and said, "Sister Zhu'er, you have to retreat when you go out." And this dress is very tasteless, this is the Proton Mansion, how can you wear cloth clothes when you come to see this palace? ”

There are so many rules, so many things.

Lin Shu lowered his eyes and said in a proper manner: "My sister has written it down." ”

She walked backwards out of the threshold, and then took Mama Mei back.

Walking on the trail, looking at the surrounding flowers and trees, she couldn't help but say: "Mama Mei is dexterous, you said, yesterday I clearly took away the meeting gift, it was Mama Hu who took it away, right, today I said I didn't bring it, what do you mean?" ”

Mama Mei whispered: "Then Mama Hu left late, could it be that she swallowed it privately?" ”

There is this possibility, maybe Mama Hu didn't give the gift to Sima Yunzhu after she went back.

Several people walked and analyzed, and as soon as they arrived home, they heard Mama Hu's voice behind them: "Little lady." The old body dared to swear to the heavens, and the old body handed over the things to the princess as soon as he went back yesterday. The princess also put it in a jewelry box. The old body didn't know why the princess said she didn't see it today, but asked the little lady to believe the old body. ”

Lin Zhu is gone. The more Mama Hu thought about it, the more wrong it became. Yesterday she handed the box to the princess with her own hands, and she admired it under the light for a long time. She began to have some opinions about the princess, and she didn't care how she wanted to bury the little lady, but she couldn't bring her in.

She's just a subordinate.

Explain it yourself.

Lin Zhu quickly glanced at Mama Mei and said, "Mama Hu." I believe this, don't worry, I won't blame you. Since the princess said that she didn't give it, she didn't give it. Mama Hu is like I never gave it, and you never took it. ”

After speaking, he said to Mama Mei: "Mama Mei, Mama Hu has worked hard, and I also thanked her for her mercy yesterday." I have some silver in a drawer. Reward twenty taels. ”

After speaking, he said to Mama Hu: "Mama don't be too little, I am the daughter of a poor family." ”

Mama Hu looked at Lin Zhu in disbelief.

This little lady is really good, and she is a good-looking person.

Twenty taels is already a lot of money, and the princess has never rewarded her so much.

She was a little glad that she hadn't done what the princess had told her before. Fix her well.

She took the bounty. Thanks: "Thank you, little lady." The old body is ashamed. ”

Lin Zhu smiled and said, "Mama Hu." It's no wonder you, you can explain that you are a righteous person. A little meaning, no need to thank you. ”

Mama Hu is gone. Mama Mei looked at her back and said, "Little lady, this Mama Hu has a sense of justice. ”

Lin Zhu said: "People with a conscience have a sense of justice, by the way, Mama Mei, Ming'er, you really want to go back to your parents' house with me." ”

Mama Mei branched out of the dexterous Lingqing and whispered, "Little lady, the old body is with the little lady." But the old body has to go back to Dingyuan. The little lady took Fang Yuan Fang Fang back to the vegetable garden. Little lady, those square inches are two clever ghosts. ”

Let's just say it. How could Jin Xiaoguang suddenly let Mama Mei accompany her back to the vegetable garden.

I returned to my own place and relaxed. After lunch, Lin Zhu took Mama Mei around the backyard, walked across the small bridge and water, and watched the crystal clear stream under the bridge flow, those stones and small fish were very clear, and the chrysanthemums in the garden were blooming.

Lin Zhu saw a yellow chrysanthemum, which was very splendid.

And he ran over,

This is a piece of chrysanthemum, it looks like a variety, the flowers are more than a foot high, the petals are a thread, the middle one is slightly curled inward, like a peaceful girl holding her head and sleeping, the petals around her stretch outward, slightly curled and drooping, as if the girl's golden curls are pouring down.

The breeze blows, and the fragrance is emanated.

It's spectacular.

Lin Zhu's mouth muttered: "The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor." ”

"Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan." "It's not that chrysanthemums are favored among flowers, and this flower has no flowers after blooming."

That's all the poems she's ever learned about chrysanthemums.

The narration of a person squatting next to the flowers talking to himself, with chrysanthemums fluctuating slightly, is very poetic.

Mama Mei on the side was deeply infected, and was about to step forward to say a few words of praise, when she saw Jin Xiaoguang standing proudly on the side, like a jade tree. Hurriedly bowed and stepped back.

Jin Xiaoguang looked at it for a while, walked slowly, squatted beside Lin Zhu and said: "Zhu'er, Ming'er will go back with your ninth brother to see Princess Mingzhu first, and after coming back, I will stay in the vegetable garden for a few more days, I will go to Xiahe to accompany the Son of Heaven to hunt, you are pregnant, and it is inconvenient to take you,,"

It's okay not to say this, but when it comes to this, Lin Zhu is full of anger.

said loudly: "Lord Shizi, if you want to take the princess to hunt for her honeymoon, just say it, what to say to accompany the prince to hunt, I don't want to go at all." ”

So close to nature activities don't take her there. What is there to explain.

Jin Xiaoguang smiled and put his face over and said, "Zhu'er, it's not that I won't take you there, you also know that this time I didn't really hunt, but that the emperor's father and son wanted to test their husbands." If you bring it for fear of causing you unnecessary trouble, let Sima Yunzhu bear this trouble. So you just have to visit the pearl with peace of mind, and if you want to go out to play, I will take you to a better place in the future. ”

It turned out that it wasn't for fun, it still had a political purpose.

If she doesn't go in this way, she won't go, she just wants to raise the baby with peace of mind now, and she doesn't want to bother with her brains.

She stared at the chrysanthemum in front of her and said: "Mo Dao does not kill the soul, the curtain is the west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers." “

After speaking, he sighed softly, originally just wanted to take good care of his body and give birth to a child. But how did he encounter the princess, thinking about living under the management of Sima Yunzhu in the future. It's really a first two big.

She regretted a little that she shouldn't have agreed to be Jin Xiaoguang's concubine, for the sake of simplicity and fear of trouble, but it was even more troublesome.

The child in the womb is only a little over three months old, and there is still half a year before birth. Sima Yunzhu has only been here for two days and has found two stubbles, how many opportunities there are in half a year.

Don't worry about the dead anymore.

Jin Xiaoguang got up and slowly dragged her up and said, "Zhu'er, don't worry, I won't let you be wronged." You also know that before this, we didn't know that the emperor would come to this trick. Now I have to continue. These days, you go to relax first, and I will also go out and think about it, as much as possible after returning home, so that Sima Yunzhu will not dare to be domineering. ”

He pursed his lips a little mysteriously and smiled. Pulling Lin Zhu, he said, "It's windy." Beware of catching a cold. ”

Jin Xiaoguang's eyes were a little sinister. Lin Zhu's heart tightened. To deal with the emperor, his daughter is naturally cannon fodder, thinking about Sima Yunzhu, who is also a little pitiful, she was given to marry. but as a victim.

It's just that she is really too arrogant and domineering. If only you could be a little kinder. She was willing to make her happy without knowing the truth.

Now she can only guard against her and avoid her.

Think about the fact that both of them are pitiful, and they both have heavy responsibilities. One shoulders the lives of his father and the other hundreds of thousands of people.

She walked back slowly. Jin Xiaoguang stopped and looked at her and said, "Zhu'er." I went to Xiahe this time, and the luck was uncertain. Take care of yourself more, if I can return safely, I will definitely raise you to be much fatter than Huanghua, but if something happens, you must remember to protect yourself. I don't think the emperor will touch you for the time being. You wait for the child to be born, and your father will send someone to protect you. And your brother. ”

So dangerous?

She became a little nervous and asked, "So, can we not go?" Make an excuse, aren't you just married, why don't you have to spend your honeymoon before going. ”

Jin Xiaoguang said: "So I said I had to bring Sima Yunzhu." ”

"Are you really going on your honeymoon? It's just a bit of a disappointment. Lin Zhu said: "Why is this emperor like this, how can he also be his own daughter." Did he not think that if anything happened to you, his daughter would be a widow. ”

Jin Xiaoguang said: "Compared with the throne, the weight of the daughter is much lighter. ”

"I really don't understand what they think. How can Jiangshan compare with the happiness of his daughter, Jiangshan Sheji is the world, and her daughter is her own. It's not a matter of life and death, so why bother? ”

Lin Zhu couldn't understand what this emperor was doing so suspiciously, he had to force people to rebel.

Isn't there a saying that a suspect doesn't need to be suspicious, since he has been sealed, just let him display his ambitions in his own jurisdiction, why is it so suppressed.

Jin Xiaoguang said: "He himself is such a person, so he thinks that others are like this. Now others are not like this, and they are forced to do this. Zhu'er, we also have to do it as a last resort. If not, we will be dead. And it's not just us who is dead, all those who are connected with us are dead. ”

Listening to Jin Xiaoguang's tongue twister, Lin Zhu felt a headache.

I also feel very sad.

She understands very well that if something happens to Jin Xiaoguang, Bao Zhen Baoxi and herself will be implicated. There are also those old subordinates and their families behind Bao Zhen.

She took the initiative to take Jin Xiaoguang's arm and said, "Lord Shizi, you just have to rest assured, I will take good care of myself." When are you leaving? ”

Jin Xiaoguang said: "If it is not bad as expected, it should be early in the morning the day after tomorrow." I'm not sure if Sima Yunzhu will go with me, so you go back to the vegetable garden first. ”

"In other words, Sima Yunzhu may not go?"

Lin Zhu didn't understand a little, didn't he mean that he had a honeymoon? Sima Yunzhu didn't go to do anything.

Jin Xiaoguang said: "It's not that I don't go, it's that I will go later." ”

Oh, not together.

She blinked and asked, "Why?" ”

Why don't you go with us?

Jin Xiaoguang said: "This is just my guess, it should be that the emperor wants to test me." ”

"And how much money did you bring with you this time?" Lin Zhu suddenly remembered that Mama Mei inadvertently told her last night that Dingyuan had actually been hollowed out now, and the Proton Mansion was also shy in her pocket, and she had already owed her subordinates several months' wages.

Smooth mouth care,

Jin Xiaoguang looked at Lin Zhu intently and said, "It's okay, I don't know if it's enough, that's all." ”

That's all, how embarrassed he was to say to Lin Zhu that he made Lin Zhu's jade pendant as a dowry, one of the beads was used to prepare for the wedding, as a fund for the bureaucracy, and one that had been sold and paid for a year.

Originally, with his budget, he could have lasted a year or two.

Two beads and a jade pendant are priceless.

But now the damned emperor, father and son are determined to blackmail him and kill him. The damn black hole can't be filled.

The emperor's father and son's appetite grew bigger and bigger, and he even assigned him to cover all the expenses of this hunt.

He knew it wasn't just a hunt, it was a fight to the death.

He may only be able to come back alive if he gives it his all.

To go all out, you have to pave the way with money. Start with the eunuch ministers who are on the emperor's side.

This fund should not be less than Dingyuan's income for a year, and it is really unspeakable if Dingyuan wants to take out this money now.

But this is all a man's business, and he is thinking about whether to rob the treasury, and by the way, see if the national treasury of Qin Nanguo is really as empty as the emperor's father and son showed...... It's really uncomfortable to be blackmailed again and again.

However, robbing the treasury is not a simple matter, and it must be well prepared. But there seems to be no time.

Lin Zhu saw that he had no confidence in speaking, and knew that he must have insufficient silver, so he said, "Lord Shizi, if the funds are insufficient, I can help." ”

Now that we have cooperated, let's contribute to the general party and pay for it.

When I saw my brother Bao Zhen in Dingyuan, I heard him say it. In the past few years, Dingyuan has been fighting for many years, those rich pastures, mountains and forests that are widely used for animal skins and medicinal materials and strange stones have basically been blocked, and those who originally lived by hunting and relying on the mountains have squeezed into a safer place, and it is difficult to feed so many people on the arable land that is not very rich.

Jin Xiaoguang paused, he knew that the Bao Zhen brothers had emptied the treasury of the previous dynasty, and the previous dynasty had lasted for hundreds of years, and the treasures of the treasury should naturally not be underestimated.

But he wasn't sure how much Bao Zhen had given Lin Zhu.

And he felt that it was already very shameless to take Lin Zhu's beads and jade pendants.

Then he said lightly: "Zhu'er, no need." You just need to take care of yourself, and I'll figure it out when it comes to the silver. ”

And a little backbone.

But think of that big iron box, bottomless gold and silver jewelry.

Lin Zhu decided to help Jin Xiaoguang.

It doesn't matter if he's really strapped for money or doesn't have the money.

She stopped and looked up at Jin Xiaoguang and said, "Lord Shizi, no matter what purpose we have together, and whether you use me or not, now you have succeeded." We're bound together without any suspense, and your business is mine. If you really need funding, you might as well say so. There are no more, there are still a few beads and jade pendants, haven't you heard people say that what money is spent is money, and what can't be spent is inheritance? ”

A few beads, a few jade pendants.

Jin Xiaoguang didn't know what to say. Tightly hugging Lin Zhu's shoulders.

It took a long time before he said, "I don't need a few, one is enough." (To be continued.) )
