“…… On the same day, Yu Lingchen, the general political envoy, wrote a letter to impeach Lin Yizhe for colluding with overseas profiteers, and deserving of punishment for his clever words to confuse the Holy Hearing, and asked to stop the Old Summer Palace project in order to support the country. The pen &www.biquge.info fun & pavilion was angry, and he also ordered the same Bao Ting, arrested to the criminal department, and stripped of his clothes and canes fifty. Hearing that Ling Chen's staff was extremely heavy, he was almost angry. Yu was very unfair, so he said to the top, and he was furious, saying: 'The money of the garden worker is not from the public, why should it damage the national capital? What a tongue is like this? So what is it like to give way? ......' is very long and I don't remember everything. Yu returned home, his liver qi was again, and he began to sleep in the middle of the night......"

Hunan, Xiangxiang, Chen Xiang's mansion.

"It looks like no one is making a fuss anymore today." Mrs. Chen, who got up early, listened to the movement outside and said to Chen Xiang.

"Hmm." Chen Xiang pricked up his ears and listened for a while, then nodded.

Since Chen Xiang was impeached and dismissed by Zuo Zongtang and was idle at home, this life was quite quiet, but since his son-in-law Lin Yizhe served as the foreign minister, a group of "excited" Hunan scholars and literati thought that Chen Xiang's son-in-law had lost the face of their Hunan people on this trip, and gathered at the door of Chen's house every day to insult him, claiming that he would expel Chen Xiang from the province, and some even threatened to smash the Chen family's mansion. The tranquility of the Chen family has been shattered ever since. Thanks to the old Chen Xiang who were dismissed back then, they came to guard them after hearing about it, and the daily life of the Chen family was not affected.

"Alas! I don't know how Wan'er is now. Kunyu's child is not by her side either......" Mrs. Chen sighed when she thought of her daughter who was far away in Fujian and her son-in-law who went to the country.

"There are people around her to take care of her, so don't worry about it!" Chen Xiang knew that his wife had started to talk about her daughter and son-in-law again, and immediately interrupted her.

"Wan'er can send so much silver from time to time to help you and me, you can know that her life is not bad." Seeing his wife's unhappy appearance, Chen Xiang's tone changed and comforted her, "Besides, Kunyu is not here, and there are no in-laws." ”

"If you want to talk about this silver, I'm really a little worried, where does Wan'er have this silver! It's not all Kunyu who got it back. Mrs. Chen thought of the lot of silver that her daughter Chen Wan sent home, and couldn't help but worry again, "Kunyu followed Lord Shen to handle the shipyard, and the income was not much, where did all this silver come from...... If this money comes from the wrong way, won't Wan'er be implicated......"

"Coming from the wrong way? Hmph, why is it called the wrong way? Kunyu can get silver for Wan'er, that's the ability! What's not the right way? When I led the troops back then, if I always thought that the money was coming from the right way, the people under my command would have mutinied a long time ago! Chen Xiang glared at his wife, "Besides, Wan'er also runs this 'incense group' shop in Fuzhou, how do you know that this silver is not obtained from selling incense balls?" ”

"Yes." Mrs. Chen remembered that the straw cake shop opened by the Chen family in Xiangxiang was also very prosperous, so she couldn't help but nodded.

"Besides, the recipe for this 'incense ball' was made by Kunyu! If I hadn't opened this incense group shop after returning home, wouldn't everyone in this house have to drink the northwest wind! Chen Yu said, "Just from this incense group, you can see that Kunyu is meticulous and far-sighted, and he is absolutely very comparable!" ”

"I knew that Kunyu was going to go overseas, so it was better to ...... Alas! To say that Wan'er's heart is too high, and she has fallen in love with Kunyu, Kunyu's character and appearance are good," Mrs. Chen sighed, "But this person's knowledge is high, and it is not a good thing......

"Look at what you said! This knowledge is high, why is it not a good thing? Chen Xiang said disapprerovingly.

"Look at Kunyu, you will suffer from this school! He took on this overseas 'ghost envoy' errand, look at how much scolding he has received so far? Even our house was almost set on fire! ”

Mrs. Chen's words reminded Chen Xiang of the previous incident when the villagers attacked his house, and he couldn't help but be very annoyed.

Because his son-in-law served as a "ghost envoy", his father-in-law of the "ghost envoy" became a thorn in the side of the conservative scholars and literati in Hunan, and some people with ulterior motives even instigated the villagers to storm the Chen house, the largest one was hundreds of people, fortunately, Chen Xiang's old department was grateful for the kindness of his family and sent troops back to his hometown, and rushed to the rescue in time.

In that incident of the villagers' impact, although there were no casualties in the Chen family, the whole family was frightened, which made Chen Xiang, who was born as a military general, rush up angrily when he thought about it.

"Kunyu came back from going abroad this time, with the experience of this 'ghost envoy', his future will definitely be greatly affected, and Wan'er has to follow him to endure hardships, alas......" Mrs. Chen sighed as if she had some regrets about recruiting this son-in-law.

"What the hell! You can say the boring words of those idlers! Really! According to their statement, Zhang Qian's envoy to the Western Regions and Zheng He's seven trips to the Western Ocean are all ghosts? Chen Yu's eyes widened and he said, "Kunyu's envoy to Taixi this time is also an envoy from the emperor's Jinshi background and the rank of political envoy!" What do they know? Let me tell you, I'm still optimistic about this son-in-law! Kunyu will not be a thing in the pool in the future! ”

"Look at you, you're still talking and talking!" Mrs. Chen couldn't help laughing when she saw that her husband was so excited, "I'm just talking about it casually......"

"If Madam doesn't believe it, you and I will make a bet today, and Kunyu will definitely enter the cabinet in the future! Worship the prime minister! Chen Xiang said.

"I believe it! I can't believe it! Mrs. Chen smiled and patted her husband's hand.

"Sir! Master! The county lord is here! I said that I would give you good news! A servant reported from outside the door.

"Annunciation?" Chen Xiang was stunned, "Where does this joy come from?" ”

"The county lord said, Miss...... Sealed the three products! The servant's voice was also full of surprise.

"What?"

"It's true! Master! The county magistrate just saw it from today's Di copy! The county master has brought it over! ”

"Look! What did I just say? Chen Xiang glanced at Mrs. Chen proudly.

"Quick! Fast! Let's take a look! Mrs. Chen was overjoyed when she heard the news, pushed Chen Xiang, got up and walked out.

Chen Xiang suddenly understood at this time, why no one in his mansion came to make trouble today.

Fuzhou, Mawei, Lin Yizhe's mansion.

Chen Wan sat at the table, holding a piece of manuscript paper in one hand and a piece of manuscript paper in the other, and her eyes were fixed on the holy decree made of five-colored brocade enshrined on the incense table.

"Miss, what's wrong with you......" Cai Yue saw that Chen Wan was not happy, and asked with concern.

"Oh......" Chen Wan turned her head slightly, looking at Caiyue, there was a trace of melancholy in her eyes.

"Miss is really a blessing, she has been awarded the title of Mrs. Sanpin, I think the old man and the old lady will also know at this time, as if they must be happy." Cai Yue stepped forward, put her hands on Chen Wan's shoulders, and said happily, "Cai Yue never dared to think of this day in this life." ”

"Caiyue, you don't know, this edict is not a casual ......" Chen Wan shook her head with a wry smile, and handed her the copy of the newspaper in her hand.

Cai Yue was slightly stunned, took the copy of the newspaper and read it, she only looked at it a few times, and then took a slight breath of cold air.

"Original...... Uncle in England...... And he married another ...... Uncle is really, why don't you know that there will be a voice at home? ”

"This is the marriage gift of the Queen Mother." Chen Wan lowered her head, not letting Caiyue see the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, "This fate, that's how it came about......"

"What about the Queen Mother's marriage? Miss is now Mrs. Fate, no matter what the Lu family says, it can't be too big for Miss to go! Caiyue said unconvinced.

Chen Wan gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers, raised her head, and nodded with a forced smile.

"Don't talk about that. I have to visit my aunt. Here at home, you watch more. Chen Wan got up and said.

"Miss, don't worry, I have me at home." Cai Yue nodded.

Nanjie Gong Lane, Shen Baozhen's Mansion.

Chen Wan carefully poured the medicine that had just been simmered on the small stove into the blue and white porcelain bowl, she felt the slight burning sensation coming from her hand, put the medicine bowl on the table, and then took a small porcelain spoon and gently stirred the medicine in the bowl to make the medicine even, and at the same time let the temperature of the medicine juice drop.

Lin Puqing, who was lying on the bed, looked at Chen Wan doing all this gently, and beside the bed, her adopted daughter Li Sizhu gently wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief.

After a while, Chen Wan gently pressed her hands on the outer wall of the medicine bowl, feeling the temperature of the medicine juice, and after making sure that it was not hot, Chen Wan brought the medicine bowl to Lin Puqing's side.

"Auntie, the medicine is ready, you can drink some." Chen Wan gently stirred the medicinal juice with a small porcelain spoon, looked at Lin Puqing and said.

Lin Puqing nodded, Li Sizhu stretched out his arms, supported Lin Puqing with gentle movements, helped her body into a sitting posture little by little, and took a white towel and put it in front of her.

Chen Wan brought the medicine bowl to Lin Puqing's lips, gently scooped up the medicine with a small porcelain spoon, and fed it to Lin Puqing's mouth.

Lin Puqing drank the medicine spoonful by spoonful from Chen Wan's hand, and occasionally the starry medicine dripped or flowed to her lips, and Li Sizhu gently wiped her with a handkerchief.

"Hehe, this medicine, the more you drink it, the more bitter it becomes."

After drinking for a while, Lin Puqing swallowed a mouthful of medicinal juice and said with a smile, "Don't drink it, don't drink it." ”

"That's all there is left, so my aunt will take two more sips." Chen Wan persuaded softly.

Lin Puqing nodded, drank a few more spoonfuls, Chen Wan got up and put the medicine bowl with only the residue back on the table, Li Sizhu wiped the corners of Lin Puqing's mouth and helped her lie down again.

"Sizhu, if you're tired, go and rest for a while." Lin Puqing patted Li Sizhu's hand lightly, and said with a smile, "I happened to talk to Wan'er for a while." ”

Hearing what Lin Puqing said to Li Sizhu, Chen Wan couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Sizhu responded softly, got up from the side of the bed, smiled at Chen Wan, then turned around and walked to the door, gently covered the door, and retreated.
