On October 18, the fourth year of Xiaode of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor led 30,000 soldiers stationed in Beijing to hunt in the Iron Net Mountain to promote martial arts.

That night, a rebellion broke out in the infantry camp and the Lantian army, and Xuan was suppressed.

After returning to Beijing, the emperor convened a general meeting to reward and punish crimes, and Lin Zhao was promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, becoming a veritable leader of the Jinyi Guard.

Cui Qiushan, the former commander of the Jinyi Guard, retired honorably because of his hard work and no fault.

As the shortest commander in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Cui Qiushan had just broken through the family's "Thousand Households Ceiling", and before he had time to show his ambitions, he had already returned home to raise himself.

Although he was named Yunyang Bo by the emperor, he still disappeared into the long river of history like a meteor that no one paid attention to.

And Lin Zhao was promoted from the Viscount of Loyalty and Filial Piety to the Loyal and Diligent Uncle, alongside his father Lin Ruhai's Loyal Uncle.

Of course, generals such as Meng Nantian, Qiu Zhongshan, Yang Feng and other military generals who have made great contributions also have corresponding rewards.

Many generals were immersed in the joy of being promoted, or recuperating from their injuries, or working in the office, and Emperor Xiaode also silently adjusted the military system of the capital.

And Lin Zhao was also busy for half a month, and it was not until the beginning of November that he ended his busyness, so he simply took five days off and hid in the house to rest.

Hearing the news that he was resting, Sister Feng communicated with Jia Lian for a long time, in the name of visiting Daiyu, but in fact, she came to see Lin Zhao.

The day after Lin Zhao returned to Beijing, he took Daiyu back to the mansion, and because he was really busy for more than ten days, he had hardly communicated with his sister, and he didn't know much about the news of Rongguo Mansion, but after thinking about it, he invited her to meet in Daiyu's flower hall. As soon as they met, they let people retreat left and right, and took the maids around Sister Feng out.

Sister Feng didn't refute, and after everyone went down, she knelt down straight and begged Lin Zhao to save her life.

"Help?" Lin Zhao sat there, didn't tell her to get up, and said: "Second sister-in-law, this is so good, why do you kneel down to me and shout for help? You are the daughter-in-law of the head of Rongguo Mansion, and you also have a reputation in the official mansion, who dares to kill you?"

When Sister Feng saw Lin Zhao's faction, her heart was settled, so she cried and said: "Long before my cousin rectified the Jinyi Guard and arrested the Lai family, I stopped the Lizi money early, and I thought about giving birth to a son and passing on the lineage to the Jia family. ”

"This is a good thing!" Lin Zhao said lightly.

After Wang Xifeng returned the matter of Liziqian to Mrs. Wang, moved to the big house, and handed over the power of the housekeeper, Lin Zhao already knew the news.

Sister Feng continued: "After my cousin arrested Lai Da, I also inquired and knew that giving money to the son was a big crime to cut off children and grandchildren, and to destroy the family. I was deeply glad that I had escaped. ”

"But the day before yesterday, after I found out that I was pregnant, the second wife hinted at me a few times, openly and secretly, and asked me to return to my old business, otherwise the matter of the previous profit money will be leaked, the more I think about it, the more frightened I become, what will happen to me, I will die if I die. However, what about Qiao'er? What about the child in the womb, if it is a boy, what if I get involved? I'm afraid that even the chance to get ahead in the scientific examination will be gone, I, I ....... Sister Feng couldn't go on, so she hid her face and cried bitterly.

Lin Zhao shook his head and said, "When the second sister-in-law said this, and mentioned the hint of the second wife, could it be that she already has a plan in her heart and understands the situation in front of her?"

As soon as these words came out, Sister Feng was shocked and collapsed on the ground: "...... Of course, I know that the house has long been eating grain, for the sake of face, but also unwilling to be thrifty, just this past year, for the sake of the mother's mother, everyone made up for it, and the public middle school has long been leaked and can not be leaked anymore. The second master is motivated again, after I don't care about the family, I end up relaxed, I naturally don't want to drink the northwest wind with this family, and I don't want the second master Lian's motivated heart just born to die. ”

"What you said is right, in fact, I don't know that the Jiafu family is losing money, all the dozen or so families who have received the provincial relatives of the noble concubine, all of them are like your Rongguo Mansion, and they have eaten grain, so I crack down on those who give away profits, in fact, I also cut off their hands to make money, you may not understand what I mean, but since you are here, and you have the meaning of the second brother of the chain, you must understand something." Lin Zhao said lightly.

Sister Feng nodded and said, "When I came, the second master had already told me, if my cousin is willing to tell me directly, then we can still have a glimmer of life and will not sink with Jiafu." Now I just ask my cousin to show me a clear path. ”

After that, kowtow again and again.

Lin Zhao smiled: "Second brother Lian and second sister-in-law have treated Daiyu very well during this time, I naturally understand what you mean." Since you don't want to sink and the second brother also wants to live a good life, then I won't hide it. ”

Without waiting for Sister Feng to say anything, he shouted again: "Go and invite Mama Li to come over." ”

The people outside answered and invited a Mama Li in.

Lin Zhao said: "This is Mama Li, like Mama Rong, she came out of the palace, but now she is different from Mama Rong, there is no one in her family, so she is counting on finding a good family to be a parent." Second grandma, I respect you as a hero in the fat powder pile, although you have suffered the loss of not studying, but you and the second brother are willing to reform after all, and I am also willing to form a good relationship with you, and I also count on you to help me with many things for my sister in the future - are you willing to provide for Mama Li?"

Sister Feng was stunned for a moment, and then she was overjoyed.

Mama Rong's eloquence and strength, he Wang Xifeng has seen it many times, and he admires it in his heart.

That Mama Li also sat down with Mama Rong, and she didn't usually speak, but since she was side by side with Mama Rong, there must be something extraordinary.

She immediately kowtowed and thanked: "Cousin, great grace, I, Wang Xifeng, have nothing to repay, if Sister Lin has any needs in the future, she will be sent." ”

Lin Zhao waved his hand to let Mama Li retreat, and said: "You are a smart person, Mama Li's identity deed is now under your name, and I can't keep it for a few years, she is under my hands, you can make her communicate with me often, and I will pass her to Sister Qiao's name in the future." As for the rest, I've got an idea for you, would you like to hear it?"

Sister Feng was busy asking for advice.

Lin Zhao said: "What you are worried about is nothing more than the second brother of the chain, Sister Qiao, the child in the belly and your own belongings. The child is easy to handle, my sister and I, one is an earl, the other is the county lord, we all have the position of a waiter and a female official around us, I will help people to the end, give one to each of them, you quietly move out of their household registration, go to the government to file a case, they are considered to be the people of my Lin family, even if something really happens in your house in the future, it will not affect them. ”

"But after all, Second Brother Chain is a serious lord of Rongguo Mansion, it is difficult for the two of you to move out, but your private treasury needs to be cautious, if you can trust your sister, you can let her help you take care of it, within ten years, it will be safe." ”

After Sister Feng heard this, she glanced at Lin Zhao deeply, then knelt down, kowtowed respectfully three times, and said calmly: "Lian'er also said that if this big ship capsizes, he can't do without it, and I am willing to go with him, this is just for my sister Qiao, the child in the belly, what my cousin wants me to do in the future, I am also willing." I just hope that my cousin will keep his promise and not let my child suffer innocently. ”

Lin Zhao nodded and said: "Don't worry, I might as well tell you to understand, what I say must be kept, after all, the brocade guard in my hand is used to supervise hundreds of officials, and even if this big ship capsizes, the person who corrects it will be able to escape." ”
