After Lin Zhong's succession was resolved, Lin Hu was escorted to the capital.

At this time, the discovery of gold in Shenwushan was announced to the public, and for a while, the entire Yulin County was shocked.

The most shocked people were the people of Linjia Village.

When they thought that they were once so close to the gold mine, but they didn't know anything about it, guarding Baoshan and still digging in the field, they were so uncomfortable that they couldn't eat or sleep.

Some people who have a lot of eyes go to the patriarch and ask the patriarch to come forward to discuss the matter of the gold mine with Lin Ruan. Not to mention more, a person should still divide one point for one hundred and eighty taels.

The patriarch spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm: "I see that your hearts are higher than the sky!" The courage grew on the top of his head, and he actually hit this idea. If any of you dare to run to Shenwu Mountain, something will happen, don't blame me for not reminding you! ”

Seeing that the patriarch couldn't make sense here, these people still didn't give up, and ran to find Lin Ruan again. As a result, when I arrived at the place, I saw a big copper lock hanging on the gate, and the guards who usually guarded the door were gone.

After a few inquiries, I learned that Lin Ruan had left Linjia Village with his family early in the morning, and Xiao Wangye had also left the village with his people, leaving only a group of people to guard Shenwu Mountain.

These people still refused to give up, and they had the courage to touch into Shenwu Mountain, but they were able to climb over Funiu Mountain, and they were stopped by a large number of guards.

When the knife rested on the neck, these people suddenly came back to their senses.

Where is the gold mine, if you don't do it, it will become their talisman.

Despite their reluctance, these people had to retreat down the mountain in a huff.

At this time, Lin Ruan was taking his family to Huaiyang Mansion together.

It's best not to stay in Qingzhou City for half a while, after all, when the old Wang family arrives in Qingzhou City, if the bowl in the Chu Wangfu is not good, she will definitely turn her head and find trouble with Lin Zhong.

Lin Hu's rebellion with the King of Chu has not been announced to the public for the time being, because there is no guarantee that the King of Chu's men and horses will be wiped out, so the old Wang family can still jump for a while.

So Lin Ruan directly took Lin Zhong and Xiuxiu to Huaiyang Mansion.

It's just about to be the New Year, and it's good for the family to celebrate the New Year in the house in Huaiyang Mansion.

Lin Zhong had no opinion on her arrangement, but he asked Lin Ruan to remember to arrange for someone to go to Mr. Qi to talk to him, so as not to worry about it.

After walking for three days, the group arrived at Huaiyang Mansion.

Lin Zhong and Xiuxiu are both returning here for the first time, and they feel rare to see anything. Lin Ruan asked her subordinates to take her around to play, and she arranged for people to prepare gifts, planning to go to Hefu.

But Xiao Jingchen stopped her: "I'll talk about it later, now you have to hurry up and pack some things and go back to Kyoto with me." ”

Lin Ruan asked strangely, "What are you doing in Kyoto?" ”

Xiao Jingchen took out a secret letter: "I received it in the morning." ”

Lin Ruan took it and opened it, and it turned out that the emperor had named her to go to Kyoto to attend the palace banquet.

Afraid that she would not understand, Xiao Jingchen explained: "Every year at the end of the year and on Chinese New Year's Eve, officials and their families above the third rank have to enter the palace to attend the palace banquet. Although you are from the third grade, you are the only county lord of the Great Zhou Dynasty who has been entitled, and you have made meritorious contributions repeatedly, if the emperor does not let you participate, it will be even more strange. This time I asked you to go, probably because I wanted you to officially show up in front of the courtiers. This is the emperor's grace to you, and you must go. ”

Lin Ruan was impatient with this kind of banquet, she was just an ordinary person in her previous life, and she was really not interested in this kind of official activity. But she also understands that now that her identity is different, even if she doesn't like it, she must not shirk it. This can probably be regarded as his position, seeking his own government.

So Lin Ruan didn't bother with anything, and immediately told Lin Zhong and them about it, and asked people to prepare things to enter Beijing.

Lin Zhong and Xiuxiu were a little disappointed, this year, their family did not spend a few days together for a peaceful birthday, and finally watched the New Year, but Lin Ruan was going to Kyoto again.

Xiuxiu hugged Lin Ruan's waist and said with a blank eye: "Sister, don't go, okay?" You stay for the New Year, and let's go to see the lights together during the Lantern Festival, okay? ”

The girl on Mr. Qi's side told Xiuxiu about the Lantern Festival before, so the little girl has always kept it in her heart and is very eager to go.

Lin Ruan rubbed the little girl's hair very apologetically: "Xiuxiu, Sister has to go to Kyoto, and when Sister comes back, I'll play with you, okay?" ”

Xiuxiu pouted, looking at Lin Ruan with red eyes, which made Lin Ji feel extremely uncomfortable.

Why don't you bring your family to Kyoto for the New Year?

But the farther north it goes, the colder it gets, and it's colder here than in Qingzhou, and I'm afraid it will be even colder when I get to Kyoto.

It's been a bumpy ride, can they stand it?

Just when Lin Ruan was hesitating, Lin Han came over and reached out and knocked on Xiuxiu's head: "Disobedient again?" Ah Ruan went to Kyoto to do business, and you are not allowed to mess around. ”

Xiuxiu's tears rolled in her eyes, and she muttered in a low voice: "But people want to celebrate the New Year with Sister A." ”

Lin Han looked at her aggrieved appearance and pinched her baby fat cheeks: "Ah Ruan must enter Beijing this year, and let her accompany you for the New Year later." If you want to see the Lantern Festival, my dad and I will take you there. ”

Can that be the same?

Xiuxiu was very reluctant in her heart, but she also knew that she couldn't be too willful, so she sniffed and talked to Lin Ruan about the conditions: "Then Sister must accompany me to watch the Lantern Festival for the New Year next year, and bring me delicious food back from Kyoto, and you will play with me when I come back...... No, half a month, half a month is fine. ”

The little girl's aggrieved appearance made Lin Ruan's heart soften.

The children of their family are so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

Bent down and took a sip on Xiuxiu's little face, and then nodded solemnly: "Okay, Sister promised you all the conditions, and you are also obedient at home, you know?" ”

Xiuxiu also nodded very vigorously and agreed.

To appease his family's emotions, Lin Ruan only stayed in Huaiyang Mansion for one day, and then hurried on the road with his maid ring and guards and rushed to Kyoto.

As Lin Ruan expected, the farther he went in the direction of Kyoto, the colder it became.

In the first two days, Lin Ruan could still insist on riding a horse, but on the third day, it rained, and when she got up at the post station in the morning, the breath that came out seemed to be almost substantial, just thinking about the temperature outside, she didn't want to get up and hurry.

In this era, going out in the winter is too sinful.

was worried, the green calyx came in with hot water, and said with a smile: "County lord, the prince said that he would leave later today." ”

Lin Ruan got up and freshened up, then ate a breakfast made by Lu Calyx, and sighed with satisfaction: "Lu Calyx, it's hard to travel, don't be busy eating, I'm not so arrogant, the food in the post station tastes good, you sleep more in the morning, don't be tired anymore." ”
