When Mei came back from outside, she was drenched in rain. In a hurry, her hair bun was all disrupted, and the fat powder was washed away, looking like a pitiful soup chicken.

When she changed into clean clothes, of course Lin Qiantan wanted to ask her what was going on, and she just said that she was walking well on the road, but suddenly a few ruffian-looking people broke out.

She reacted quickly, ran all the way to the threshold of the Dongshan Hou Mansion, and when she looked back, those people had dispersed.

Lin Qiantan frowned.

Treat Mei softly, and she has always been kind to others, and she will not offend people easily, let alone what kind of enemy she is.

Looking at this, most of them are a group of people who did it deliberately, and where did they come from? What is the purpose of the action?

Lin Qiantan said: "Turn around, pay attention when you go out, maybe someone recognized the wrong person and told you to carry this cauldron." But maybe it's coming for me. ”

What Lin Qiantan said was Yin Wei.

This is full of capital, and she is so unhappy that she will do harm most likely to be the two mothers and daughters over there.

When Mei answered the "yes", she obviously understood.

Yin Wei just calculated that Lin Qiantan couldn't knock over Shen's medicine bowl, but was "reported" and found out that he was greedy for the silver two in the mansion, which was very embarrassing.

Lin Qiantan was not at ease, and reminded the people in the whole house: "You should be careful when you go out, and don't be careless when you walk in the house."

Everyone agreed to come down.

Lin Qiantan thought about it and called Zheng Hao over again.

Zheng Hao secretly revealed that he liked to treat Mei and wanted to marry Mei back through Bishu. Lin Qiantan thought about it, and simply asked Zheng Hao to be this bodyguard.

Zheng Hao naturally couldn't ask for it, and Bishu was also happy that his brother had the opportunity to get close to his sweetheart.

That is, when Mei saw Bishu's calculations, she was embarrassed for two or three days.

It's not a big deal. In the next two or three days, when Mei went out again, she didn't meet any strange people again, and no one put these things on their minds. Only Zheng Hao was happy, pretending to be a public servant and following Mei closely, and went to visit the Song family every day.

What Lin Qiantan went to see was another sick number.

Shen's illness was good and bad, and Lin Qiantan had to take care of her. Every day, it rains heavily inside and outside, and Lin Qiantan goes back and forth in the courtyard, making the corners of her skirt muddy.

During this period, I met Qingchuan two or three times on the way through the house. Since Qingchuan was kicked out of the Silver Screen Pavilion, his life has been getting worse and worse. In connection with the events of his previous life, Harukawa deserves it.

When Lin Qiantan ran into her again, she had already fallen to the ground near the thatched house in the house. The body is neat, but there is a faint smell of sweat.

At first, she was kicked out, and she begged Lin Qiantan to beg, but the last time Lin Qiantan saw her, she already had hatred for the old master.

Lin Qiantan came back from the Shen family and ran into her. It was for some reason that she was embarrassed by the grandmother in the house. It was a rainy day, and it was a bit embarrassing.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qiantan was a little unbearable after all. Qingchuan is a fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken, although she is guilty of stealing her master's property and passing the news privately, but she will not be humiliated to kneel in the rain and beg the old mother to forgive her.

Among them, most of them are Yin Wei's dislike of her uselessness as a chess piece, and instigate others to humiliate.

These minions are accustomed to stepping on the highs and lows.

Lin Qiantan then confessed, gave her some silver, and told her to redeem herself: "I remember that she has relatives in the capital."

Wait for Mei to hear the sound and go.

When Qingchuan was still in Yunzhou, he always said that he had relatives who did small business in the capital. Like some kind of uncle and cousin. Now it would be better to tell her to go out with the money than to be bullied.

When Mei returned, she said that Qingchuan had taken the money and had gone to talk to the housekeeper about it.

"She's not necessarily grateful." Jinhe and Qingchuan have a lot of grievances, and there is no need to expect her to say anything good about Qingchuan.

Lin Qiantan smiled and said, "I know, she is not such a character...... Push harder on the left. "Jinhe is pressing her shoulder.

Jinhe then increased his strength.

Lin Qiantan said again: "Sending her out of the house is also a knife with her." That amount of money was enough for her and the cousin she always showed off. "If you're having a bad time, don't come back and blame her.

So in the evening of this day, there was an extra girl at the small corner gate of the Hou Mansion.

Qingchuan was very efficient, and in an afternoon's work, he took back the deed of sale and destroyed it.

She walked silently, and no one came to see her off, she was really like what Lin Qiantan said, she was not grateful in her heart, but hated.

Coincidentally, she was about to turn around and leave, but happened to bump into Lin Ziye, who was returning home from outside. She looked over with a pair of affectionate eyes, but unfortunately Lin Ziye didn't look at the girl who looked poor and destitute standing by the door.

Jinhe said that she wanted to climb the master's bed, but she was not wrong. She has been in love with Lin Ziye for a long time.

As soon as she thought of leaving, and she didn't know when she would be able to see the young master in her mind again, she was reluctant to give up, and hated Lin Qiantan and Yin Wei more and more into her bones. Thinking again, with her cousin who is infatuated with her, she will come back sooner or later. According to her uncle, her cousin has been gaining fame recently.

Over there, Lin Ziye has already entered the house.

The Beidi military report came that Emperor Tianlong's division was unfavorable, and he had just gone out, and he was about to prepare for the return of the division, and the emperor's face was very damaged.

The chaotic people of the Xia Dynasty who stabbed Emperor Tianlong in the back became the targets of the emperor's anger.

The imperial court transported grain and grass over for Emperor Tianlong to exterminate the rebellious party. Emperor Tianlong will not have the strength to deal with the people of Rong at the moment.

Emperor Tianlong went on an expedition, and the Lin family did not get much of the pie, but had a share in the matter of quelling the chaos.

Lin Ziye, a powerless person, also wanted to go to the battlefield. And Lin Quan, in order to be more sure of winning the position of the son, is also willing to support his son.

Yin Wei is rare to disagree with Lin Quan in this matter.

Yin Wei arranged a marriage contract for Lin Ziye, and Lin Ziye knew about it. He was thinking, isn't the court recruiting? He followed, and then tried to find a way to stay in the local area for three and five years and did not come back.

Save his mother from arranging for him.

Where would Yin Wei agree.

Lin Qiantan was also surprised.

Do it again, could it be that Lin Ziye's body has also changed. It doesn't matter if you know how to read and be motivated, you still want to take the martial arts path.

God knows that Lin Ziye is actually just unhappy to get married too early and wants to escape marriage.

Qi Qinyue, who is virtuous and virtuous in the eyes of others, is actually just a wooden and boring person in his opinion. He's used to being free. He doesn't want anyone to do anything to him.

Lin Qiantan didn't know what he was thinking, but if he really ran out, he would do what the imperial court had always done...... After the counterinsurgency, most of them will send garrisons.

If he doesn't come back, Qi Qinyue probably won't have to marry him.

Wang Yuanzhao also wrote back and said. The people of Rong Guoren were injured two years ago, and this time the offensive against the big merchant army was not as good as before.

After Emperor Tianlong withdrew his troops, he planned to pay more attention to the rebel forces in the country.

Lin Ziye wanted to join the army, but Yin Wei was against it to the end. Even the other elders of the Shen family did not approve.

He is the only son of Sanfang, he has an accident, how is it good?

That's to be expected.

Lin Qiantan asked people to stare at Lin Ziye's movements, but it turned out that he secretly went to the back door in the middle of the night, and simply came to the first cut and then play.

Of course, Lin Qiantan didn't have the kindness to notify Yin Wei to stop people.

She's none of her business.

When Yin Wei found out that something was wrong, this stinky boy was a person who went to the empty building.

In this way, Yin Wei's attention was not on the Qi family.

On the contrary, Lin Qiantan went to the Qi family, and the relationship with the Qi family seemed to be much closer all of a sudden.

Qi Qin's family didn't know the clues of Jinghua's dream map, but Lin Qiantan gained a friend.

Of course, there are special people to inquire about the news of the Qin family.

The fragments were divided into five parts by Emperor Xia that day, one was in the Chu family and one was in the Qi family, and the Wei family was also sure that there was such a share, so it was inferred that the Qin family should also have it in their hands.

However, after inquiring for a long time, the Qin family really did not have such a piece of broken sheepskin.

When the news came, Lin Qiantan was not too disappointed.

Family inheritance, many descendants of later generations do not know the value of ancestral relics. The Qin family, like the Chu Qi family, couldn't figure out the meaning of broken sheepskin. Not surprising.

Even Lin Qiantan suddenly felt that it was a coincidence that one forgot it, but two or three were like this...... Could it be that the three old men of the Qi family, the Chu family, and the Qin family all coincidentally hope that the secret of the so-called treasure of the Xia Kingdom will be buried unknowingly?

On the contrary, it is the Wei family, which has been passed down to this day.

In other words.

If the above inference is true, then what really makes Lin Qiantan feel a little difficult is the map that is likely to be kept by the descendants of the Xia Dynasty royal family.

The last fragment would be in the hands of a member of the Xia Dynasty royal family. So where is this needle in a haystack going to get such a thing?

Annoying is annoying, but Lin Qiantan still asked someone to inquire first, where did the Qin family get the fragments of the treasure map back then.

The ladies of the Qin family also wandered around different banquet occasions. Different Qin family members, Lin Qiantan has been in contact with herself.

And Wang Yuanzhao is also a young and old person who has been in contact with the Qin family, and it is also he who confirmed that there is indeed no such thing.

There is no urgency in this matter.

After Lin Ziye left, Yin Wei naturally sent people to chase after him on the road to the north.

There is a war in the north, and it is normal for Yin Wei to worry.

Lin Quan blamed Yin Wei and spoiled the child.

Yin Wei has a grievance and has nowhere to go, on the night Lin Ziye escaped, Lin Quan was in the bed of a prostitute in the Qinglou, why did he come to accuse her? Besides, she really didn't know that he, as a father, supported Lin Ziye to join the army?!

The son does not teach the father and the son!

But being angry is angry, and he doesn't dare or is reluctant to be angry with Lin Quan.

Lin Ziye slipped away. As a result, all the Lin sisters were also dragged down a little, and the access control was much stricter.

Lin Qiantan didn't plan to commit a crime against the wind, if there was anything, just ask a few girls under her to run a few more legs.

She is the owner of the largest shop on several streets, of course, she refuses to let some people in the Lin family know.

Compared with the real inheritance, the so-called "little bit" of the dowry treasure will be remembered, not to mention the real huge amount of money.

Lin Qiantan basically didn't go out except for doing some indoor activities in the house all day long. Of course, I didn't have the opportunity to see a lively scene on the street.

A few middle-aged scholars were there on the street discussing that there were too many biases and distortions in the imperial court's compilation of "History of Xia", and when it came to excitement, they were like officials in the city who happened to hear the movement and rushed over to arrest people.

Somehow, more and more people gathered, and later it turned into a riot. The more the soldiers want to take people, the more they have to call friends and friends, and argue and fight with the soldiers.

In the end, it was not surprising that this incident ended in the victory of the city defenders. The mouth can't make a fist, and whoever makes trouble will have to go to jail.

This matter was also stabbed to Gu Ping. Gu Ping is in charge of the country's governance in the DPRK, and he should be responsible for handling these matters.

Gu Ping went to the prison in person, and he didn't know what he said to those scholars.

After that, the matter was quickly calmed down, but the general content of the compilation of "Xia History" was still revealed.

Lin Qian said in her heart: The person who instigated the scholar to recite poetry and openly talked about some court secrets didn't know who she was familiar with.

The people's attitude towards the Xia Dynasty has always been complicated.

*

The Xia Dynasty lasted for five hundred years, and for many, it was orthodoxy. The sense of identity of the subjects of the Xia Dynasty is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Lin Qiantan may not feel anything yet. When she was born, the Shang Dynasty had already been established. Everything related to Great Xia is hearsay.

But for people like Lin Yangde's generation, and even Lin Quan's generation, they were all born when the Xia Dynasty was still alive.

In the last years of the Xia Dynasty, the land annexation was severe, the wine and meat of Zhumen stinked, and the ordinary people did not say that there were frozen bones on the road, and there was no land to cultivate, and there was no hope.

At this time, the Yan clan rose up, eliminated the Xia Dynasty in the troubled times, unified the world, and established the Great Shang.

But this is far from saying that the people hate the Xia Dynasty very much.

Lin Qiantan herself admires Xia Shi very much. Students of the Xia Dynasty have always liked to use poetry to ridicule the government and express their views. The Xia Dynasty is here, they complain, the Xia Dynasty is really gone, and they miss it again.

It was originally a good thing for Emperor Tianlong Yan Guang to edit the history of Xia, but the problem was also that Emperor Tianlong's malice towards the Xia Dynasty was obvious. There are many places in "History of Xia", which are clearly belittled and smeared.

Among them, all kinds of deeds during the reign of Emperor Xia were completely denied.

This kind of thing is generally unbearable for outsiders of some ages, let alone people who are closely related to it.

Lin Qiantan was also very curious, what would the Xia Dynasty emperor and grandson who was rumored to have escaped in the bloodbath feel like if he saw and heard this?

*

When Wang Dagou was also working outside, he overheard a few words from a few people who looked like down-and-out scholars in the tea shop, and after listening to it, he just smiled, as if he had heard some interesting anecdote.

He didn't even notice that he was holding the cup a little harder. After he left, when the owner of the tea shop came to put away the cup and prepare to clean it, he noticed that there was an extra gap in the cup that had somehow been made. On the notch, there were blood stains.

Wang Dagou came out to move goods for others. Speaking of which, the people who hired him for short-term jobs were still his peers.

Xiaoyu often went to Beijing to sell dried fish this year, and met Wang Dagou by chance. Both of them are fellow villagers from Tongzhou, and after coming and going, Xiaoyu hired him as a helper.

Xiaoyu herself is busy working in the capital, and her family naturally has her family to send dry goods to her hometown, and boxes of goods are transported to the capital by boat.

Wang Dagou could see that the little girl named Xiaoyu seemed to look at him with a little enthusiasm in her eyes.

He could only pretend he couldn't see it.

It's not that he dislikes Xiaoyu's ugly appearance, but that he still has important things on him, and he doesn't have time to think about those children's private affairs.

In a place like the wharf, the flow of people is the most complicated. There are also the most messages. Sometimes, like today, after finishing things, Wang Dagou used his break time to inquire about bits and pieces of news near the dock.

It was also after listening to so many sentences that I realized that the content of the "History of Xia" compiled by the imperial court revealed some of it.

He walked in a hurry, thinking that he would probably be eating tea here, and the little fish found it strange where the others had gone.

In June, when Dashang produced the most seafood fish, Dongshan Houfu also bought a lot of live fish.

This year's fish and shrimp prices are cheaper than in previous years, all because of the heavy rain in the northern prefectures, the water level is too high, and the fish and shrimp in the river and the sea are also washed up.

Xiaoyu's business is not easy to do either. She tried to work part-time for a large family again.

Relying on the interconnected water networks of the Central Plains, the fishermen found a way to send this thing to the capital to sell. The price of this fish and shrimp will not go down.

Jin He was eating a mouthful of babbling there: "This big cucumber fish in Tongzhou was actually sold for a penny, what is the difference between this and the price of cabbage?" I don't know what's going on in the north now. ”

Lin Qiantan smiled and said nothing.

The soldiers and horses of the imperial court are entangled in Suizhou and the group of people who are now called bandits by the imperial court. Emperor Tianlong set off with full ambition.

But now, the knife used to calm the regret of the division of the Rong country is used to kill the rebellious thief, and the chicken is not well killed.

This can be regarded as a strong dragon not suppressing the head snake.

The terrain of Suizhou has a lot of mountain roads, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are also stumbling up there for a while, and they can't be used.

Lin Qiantan thought at this time that she had made the shoes she gave to Wang Yuanzhao, and she really felt that it was worth it after a few days and nights.

Presumably...... At this time, the rain in Suizhou should be extremely strong.

*

Lin Qiantan thought well. At the same time, it was raining heavily in Suizhou. The emperor led soldiers and horses to fight wits and courage with a group of local "Diao people".

He has no geographical advantages, he can't be entangled, and he suffers a lot of losses.

The army was bound by the rain and could not easily walk. And this rain matched the topography, but became a natural cover for the guerrilla Suizhou people. Those people didn't know where they suddenly came out, put a few bows and crossbows and left, the soldiers and horses of the court were overwhelmed, and it was really an elephant that had a lame time.

More than a dozen battles, large and small, were fought, and the soldiers were miserable. The depression was wet and sticky, and many of them had soaked their feet in the rain cement bar, but there was no rain gear in the camp.

Wang Yuanzhao sat at the bonfire, reading the letter sent by Wang Pu in Beijing, and had a number in his heart. He looked up and saw that many of the soldiers nearby were carrying wet shoes, fiddling with them and shaking them dry, and they were crying bitterly. He casually looked down at the finely crafted leather rain boots on his feet and smiled.

I thought that these shoes came at the right time, others were troubled by the rain, but he didn't use them, but many people were envious.

What Wang Pu said in his letter was the situation in Beijing. He saw it in his eyes and remembered it, and the letter was naturally useless, so he took it and burned it.

The soldiers in the same battalion thought he had burned some kind of love letter.

These soldiers more or less knew that his family was engaged, so they all guessed that the shoes must have been made by the young lady of the Wei family.

When others praise him, the more he puts on a straight face and is unhappy, the more others think that he is telling the truth.

Wei Jiayin, the second lady of the Wei family, is also a well-known woman with good skills, Wang Yuanzhao couldn't explain it, so he simply let them misunderstand.

was arguing with a group of faceless brothers, when someone outside shouted in: "General, Your Majesty is calling for a meeting in the camp, you have to go over."

The general in the man's mouth refers to Wang Yuanzhao.

Wang Yuanzhao answered, confirmed that all the letters in the basin were dusty, and then stood up, answered and walked outside, without looking back.

His steps are steady, and his tall body is like a pillar standing in the wind and rain, which is trustworthy.

Wang Yuanzhao was able to subdue a group of old men who were a few years older than him or even more than a decade older in this camp, not because of the family background of the Yan Guo Mansion. It's his own ability.

He went out, and the brothers in the army who were left behind said one after another.

"This time I came out with Your Majesty, and I haven't had a few smooth fights. is still General Xiao Wang, capable, and looks unreliable, but he is a knowledgeable person. The person who spoke was also a veteran, and he seemed to be very convinced by Wang Yuanzhao.

A person next to him who looked much younger answered: "General Wang Xiao is powerful, but it's useless, it's not that someone is robbing the credit." Every time General Wang Xiao takes us to fight down the credit, he picks it up for some people! "This little soldier is talking about a superior of Wang Yuanzhao today.

Coincidentally, Wang Yuanzhao met his superior at the door of the main account of the Chinese army.

He also doesn't mind giving the credit he has earned to his boss for credit. Before the emperor came, he had already played several beautiful games, and it was not good to take all the credit himself, so he always had to give some to others.

The superior probably did the same because of this, so he was a little reluctant to go. He specially brought Wang Yuanzhao with him and asked him to go with him to attend the combat meeting, and he also showed his face in the army.

The so-called battle meeting was presided over by the emperor himself. Wang Yuanzhao had been there once or twice, and each time he stood in the back as much as possible to reduce his sense of presence.

And the emperor is unlikely to always keep an eye on him.
