Chapter 53: Entering the House

The days passed slowly in peace, from early autumn to late autumn, although the women in the mansion were dissatisfied with Ling Ruo's promotion of Shufu, but this was set by Concubine De, and they could only pinch their noses to accept it, at most complaining in private and squeezing a few words

These days, Yinzhen seems to be busier than before, often returning to the house in the middle of the night, even if he goes back to the house, he is in the study, only when he is extremely tired, he will sleep for a few hours, not to mention the matter of calling to sleep, Nala has persuaded him more than once to take care of his body, but when he is busy, he can still take care of a lot, and in desperation, Nala has to ask the kitchen to remember to stew a Gu ginseng soup every day and send it to the study, no matter how late Belle Ye comes back, he can't forget it.

As for what Yinzhen is busy with, there are not many people in the mansion who know the Tao, Ling Ruo is one, just because she often goes to the study to serve the marquis, intentionally or unintentionally, she always sees some official documents, plus Yinxiang often goes in and out of the mansion, and there are only two things that are often mentioned in the conversation, one is the salary of the soldiers and the other is the Yellow River. It stands to reason that now is the time of the autumn tax, and the taxes collected by the provinces and governments are handed over to the state treasury, and the household department should have plenty of money, so that the arrears of grain, silver, and military salaries can be made up.

This side of the matter has not subsided, Henan because of the autumn weather abnormal heavy rain for several days, resulting in the Yellow River water level continues to rise, because of the Yellow River sediment siltation, in order to prevent the embankment of the imperial court to strengthen and raise the embankment year after year, for many years the Yellow River water level has been higher than the surrounding houses and fields, once the Yellow River bursts, the damage caused will be unimaginable, the imperial court has sent the Qin to inspect, but the heavy rain does not stop, only afraid of the consequences.

When a flood comes down, not only wealth and lives will be destroyed, but I don't know how many people will be destroyed and displaced, Li Wei has experienced it himself, Ling Ruochang heard about the tragic situation at that time from his mouth

Yinzhen not only knows the stakes, but also understands that once the catastrophe occurs, the court will pay a high price for it, and with the current appearance of the household department, Yinzhen even wonders if someone is corrupt and perverts the law and fills his pockets, otherwise why would he be like this. He and Yinxiang originally wanted to play this matter to the heavens, but unfortunately there is no real evidence, and more importantly, Huang Ama has handed over the household department to the prince to take care of, and they are disrespectful to the prince if they go directly to the prince.

While trying to find a way to ask for silver from the household department, he had to pay attention to the situation around the Yellow River, and even pacified Yinxiang, who was increasingly dissatisfied with the prince, was really busy.

I didn't even think about the Mid-Autumn Festival for this matter, but Yinzhen remembered that Ling Ruo's family had entered the mansion, and she was going to enter the mansion a few days ago, but she didn't know that Ling Ruo's mother was infected with wind and cold and was sick in bed, and she didn't recover until now.

Seeing that Yin Zhen was still remembering his own affairs in his busy schedule, Ling Ruo was also moved, and after knowing that he was in the Dao, he was looking forward to this day coming soon.

On the fourth day of the ninth month, when it began to drizzle and cool down from early in the morning, an old carriage stopped in front of the gate of Baylor House, and a couple in their forties came down from it.

"Master, is Ruo'er here?" Fucha asked in a trembling voice as he looked at the Baylor Mansion, his eyes filled with tears of excitement and joy.

Ling Zhu patted her hand, forced a warm nod in his eyes, and said, "Yes, Ruo'er is here, you will be able to see her soon." ”

Fucha was overjoyed, took off the silk handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and finally saw his daughter, who had not seen her for nearly a year, and did not know how she was now. When she learned that her daughter was given to the fourth elder brother as Gege, her heart was about to break, and the daughter of a court official was reduced to a concubine with no rank and rank, which was simply an insult and irony, fortunately...... Fortunately, a few days ago, I got the news that Ruo'er had been promoted to Shufujin, which was finally a little comforting, and Lord Belle also allowed them to visit in the house.

"Wow, it's so big, so beautiful, it's like a palace." The crisp girl's voice sounded around them, but it was Ilan, who poked her head out of the carriage and looked at the Belle House with curled cornices and glazed tiles, and the autumn rain covered it with an unreal haze, which looked particularly magnificent and gorgeous. Yilan couldn't take his eyes off it, the vermilion mansion gate, the mighty stone lions, and the guards with knives, this place was much better than their home.

"I really don't know." Rong Xiang angrily pushed Yilan away who was blocking in front, jumped down from the carriage with a "rub", and stood on the edge of Ling Zhu and gestured in an old-fashioned manner: "The palace has the Heart Cultivation Palace, the Body Yuan Palace, the Fengxian Palace, etc., as well as the East and West Palaces, which are much larger than here." ”

Yilan pursed his lips and said unconvinced: "Hmph, you know the Tao again, obviously you haven't been there yourself, what are you being blind here." ”

"I haven't been there, but I've heard a lot from Amma. In the future, when I grow up, I will also be the champion and become an official. Rong Xiang raised his chin triumphantly.

Yilan scratched his finger on his face and said, "You haven't even memorized the Analects, so you are ashamed to say that you want to take the top prize." ”

"Okay, okay, haven't you made enough noise at home, and you have to make noise when you get here, it's really unruly." Ling Zhu grabbed the two of them and scolded.

Seeing Ling Zhu speak, the two villains didn't dare to say much, glared at each other and twisted their heads to the side, and at this moment, a young man dressed in a green coat and a small hat came out of the Baylor Mansion, and when he saw Ling Zhu and a few people with happy faces, he quickly walked over and arched his hand at Ling Zhu and said, "Dare to ask if you are Lord Ling Zhu Ling?" ”

The so-called seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, not to mention someone from Baylor's mansion, Ling Zhu didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Exactly, I don't know what to call this one?" ”

Li Wei smiled and said: "Don't dare, the slave's name is Li Wei, and he is the subordinate who is responsible for waiting for Ling Fujin, and the adult calls the slave Xiao Weizi." Fu Jin has been looking forward to it in the mansion for a long time, Lord Ling, Mrs. Ling, and the two young ladies of the princess should go in with the slave if they have nothing to do. ”

"Good! Good! There is Brother Lao leading the way in front. Thinking that he would be able to see his daughter soon, even Ling Zhu couldn't hold back his excitement, and walked quickly inside with the Fucha clan, not wanting to delay for a moment, I don't know what happened to my daughter after not seeing her for a year, whether everything is fine as the letter says.

When entering the house, there is already waiting for the next person to hand over the oil paper umbrella for the use of shelter from the rain, this oil paper umbrella is more delicate than the ordinary people's home for a long time, in addition to the umbrella paper printed with the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the beautiful scenery of the landscape, the umbrella handle is decorated with tassels, and the tassels are scattered between the turns, such as flowers drifting away.

Yilan looked around while playing with the umbrella, everything in this Baylor Mansion was new and beautiful to her, along the way, you can see the small bridge and flowing water, the four seasons of flowers, and even the pavilion and water pavilion, it is really beautiful, when she passed by the pond just now, she also saw koi swimming in the water, bringing a dazzling golden color in the fine autumn rain.

"Rongxiang, how good do you think it would be if we lived here?" Yilan jumped up and down and said that she had been attracted by the luxury and sophistication here, compared to their home, this place was tantamount to a palace, and there were people waiting for her life here, and she didn't have to do anything, and she heard that little Weizi said that there were five people waiting for her sister now, and there were people to serve her even when she ate and dressed.

"Don't." Rong Xiang wrinkled his nose and jumped out of these two words, "Ama said, as soon as you enter the waiting door, it is as deep as the sea, although it is good to eat and dress well, but the rules are equally big, there are people watching everywhere you go, there is no freedom at all, I don't know how comfortable our own yard is." ”

Along the way, I would meet the people in the house from time to time, and those people showed a little contempt after seeing them dressed in ordinary clothes, even when they passed by them, they deliberately raised their chins and pretended not to see them, this kind of contempt made Rong Xiang feel very uncomfortable, if it wasn't for seeing his sister, he would have turned around and left.

Yilan rolled her eyes angrily and gave it to him, a rough person, she couldn't even tell the good from the bad, she didn't bother to pay attention to it.
