Chapter 1888: A Morning Post
The next morning, this quaint capital city woke up in a dream. The criss-crossed streets of green bricks were still covered with last night's dew, and a thin layer of white mist filled the city, like a slowly unfolding picture.
The Lin Mansion, which is located in Lingshi Hutong of Yongfang, is like other people's families, and the servants have already begun to be busy, and the two maids are serving their pillars and pillars to get up and wash.
The days of this era are undoubtedly monotonous, and many things will always repeat themselves over and over again.
Even breakfast is often the same, so Lin Haoran's appetite is always unreachable. But I don't know if it's because of eating, or if he really likes to think about it on weekdays, so his weight has not changed significantly, and he is still a handsome young man.
After Lin Haoran changed into a first-class official uniform, he came to the dining room, sat on the table and ate a bowl of delicious preserved egg and lean porridge and pickles unhurriedly, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks.
He got up and left the dining room, knowing that it would be a decisive day.
In this era, he is already in the position of the secretary of the household department, and both generations have the blood of China. Because of his deep understanding of the evolution of history, he knew that he had an obligation to change something.
Fortunately, this decaying dynasty has not rotted to the roots, there is still some room for salvation, and he seems to be able to become the one who will save the building.
As long as he can smoothly support his father-in-law to ascend to the throne, then he will be able to fully release the restraints. Starting from the three aspects of finance, military affairs and technology, he believed that with his ability, he would definitely be able to take Daming to the top of the world.
Thinking about these things, Lin Haoran had already come to the front yard. But when he looked up and saw that the sky was gloomy, he frowned in displeasure, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
"Husband, you take this!"
Wu Qiuyu, who was dressed as a woman, was already waiting here, and a white hand handed a small object to Lin Haoran, who arrived, and her beautiful big eyes were full of hope.
Lin Haoran stretched out his hand to take the embroidered sachet, but found that it contained other things, so he raised his head and asked suspiciously, "What is inside?" ”
"The concubine accompanied her mother to the Dajue Temple yesterday to pray for a peace charm for her father, and the concubine also asked for a copy for the prime minister, and I hope that the prime minister can wear it on his body!" Wu Qiuyu seemed a little weak-hearted, but said sincerely.
After all, they have been a couple for many years, and she knows that Lin Haoran has never been interested in things like peace charms, so she never dares to take the initiative to ask for peace charms for Lin Haoran.
Lin Haoran didn't resist too much, and asked with concern: "Why did my mother-in-law suddenly go to ask for a peace charm, but something bad happened at home?" ”
Wu Daoxing ran to the kitchen of his father's house the day before yesterday to steal food, and said before leaving: The abyss will eventually have a bottom, and only the court is unfathomable. Now that you can enter here, wealth and misfortune will follow! Wu Qiuyu looked at Lin Haoran quietly, and told the truth of the matter.
Hey?
Lin Jinyuan had already asked people to open the middle door, and when he came back and heard this, his face immediately showed a solemn look.
If other Jianghu warlocks said these words, he would only use them as a means to cheat and cheat, but when he heard that these words came from Wu Daoxing's mouth, he immediately became shrewd.
Wu Daoxing's various divine divinations in Changlin Village, coupled with Wu Daoxing's prediction of the fate of himself and his family, all prove that this Taoist priest who likes to steal food is actually a living immortal.
Lin Haoran's brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately asked, "Wu Daoxing is saying that his father-in-law has a disaster?" ”
When the housekeeper heard this, he chased him out, but Wu Daoxing didn't say anything. It's just that my mother is not at ease about this matter, so I went to Dajue Temple to ask for a peace charm for my father! Wu Qiuyu shook his head lightly, and said truthfully with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"It's up to the people to make a difference, don't take the words of the Jianghu warlock too seriously!" Lin Haoran said disapprovingly, and then took the sachet and prepared to go to the office.
Wu Qiuyu watched Lin Haoran take the sachet down, and a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he saluted Lin Haoran, who was bowing to the sedan chair: "The concubine respectfully sends her husband out!" ”
Couples in each era have different ways, and Lin Haoran and Wu Qiuyu in this era are undoubtedly the standard version of husband and wife, and there is a clear division of labor: male protagonist outside, female protagonist inside.
Under the escort of Lin Fu and others, the sedan chair went directly out of Lingshi Hutong and soon arrived at West Chang'an Street.
As usual, there were a lot of breakfast stalls set up on both sides of the street, where the soldiers and horses of the Five Armies and the Shuntianfu kept order, and officials of all sizes also headed towards their yamen one after another.
Lin Fu was particularly fond of a stall's fried chestnuts with honey, and when he passed by the stall, he bought one from the stall owner again, and then came to the sedan chair.
He would always deliberately bite the chestnuts louder, if the nineteenth uncle inside wanted it, he would hand the whole bag of chestnuts directly into it, and if not, he would eat it all the way to the household yamen.
As they got along for a long time, he knew that this high-minded, non-cannibalistic nineteenth uncle was like him, and he actually liked these street foods.
"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! "Suncheon Daily" for three pennies! ”
In the gray streets, there were already newsboys carrying newspaper bags and shouting.
"Give me one!"
Lin Haoran, who was recuperating in the sedan chair with his eyes closed, was not tempted by the honey-fried chestnuts, but after hearing the newsboy's shouting, he immediately opened his mouth and commanded.
Lin Fu was eating happily, and was stunned at first when he heard this request, but immediately responded with chestnuts in his mouth, and sent a guard to buy a Shuntian daily newspaper back.
"Shuncheon Daily" is Lin Haoran's masterpiece during his tenure in Shuncheon Mansion, and after so many years of development and improvement, it has become the most influential newspaper in the capital today.
Not only is it the favorite reading material of the scholars and the people in the capital, but the officials of the idle yamen buy a copy almost every day, and from this newspaper they can not only see the good-looking martial arts, but also learn about the latest news in the capital.
The newspaper was quickly bought, but Lin Haoran didn't look at it, and continued to sit in the sedan chair with his eyes closed.
However, there were small sounds outside, especially those holding paper newspapers, and the voices were even louder, prompting many officials to rush to buy newspapers.
"Discuss the pros and cons of Diao Minshu from the decline of taxes and grains over the years!"
In the current affairs section of "Suncheon Daily", a very eye-catching article suddenly appeared, which cut into the hottest and controversial topic of the moment.
However, this topic and content are not the point, but everyone locks their eyes at the back, because the signature on it turns out to be the high arch of the left servant of the ministry.
