In the deliberations of the army, Emperor Tianlong decided to abandon the practice of combining grace and power, and instead adopted blindly extermination. More than half of the generals agreed. They suffered a lot of losses from the local group of thieves in Suizhou, and they also held a grudge.

The leader of the bandits is the old and young relics of the Xia Dynasty, who uses the prestige of the Xia Dynasty to deceive people and disobey the imperial court, and his sin is the greatest.

His family also fell into the hands of Emperor Tianlong. Emperor Tianlong could take their lives at any time to vent his anger.

There was a gray sky between heaven and earth. After everyone deliberated, they worked out the strategy for the next march.

By the time we entered June, the rain gradually became lighter, and the reinforcements sent by the capital in the south also arrived in Suizhou.

As a result, Emperor Tianlong fought a battle that was almost pure killing.

The emperor's approach inevitably spread, and the ordinary people who rebelled together for a while were indeed much less.

But his approach also left a sequelae, killing indiscriminately, giving his political opponents more excuses to attack him. There are poems among the people, which ridicule him, saying that he is not inferior to the emperor at the end of Xia, and he is not the master.

Of course, Emperor Tianlong also knew that his approach was a double-edged sword, hurting both the enemy and himself.

When the news reached the capital, it also caused an uproar.

The people at the court argued. The Chuck scholars on the streets and alleys also have a lot of complaints. Especially those scholars who have a pen in their hands, when they heard that Emperor Tianlong had a military strategy of reforming the people and not killing them, but anyone who had something to do with the thieves was going to be killed, and the reaction was even greater.

Subsequently, those people in the capital who had originally been suppressed by Gu Ping to discuss "Xia History" became active again.

Walking down the streets, you can see people talking to each other almost at any time, as if they were frightened by the emperor's actions.

Lately, the city guards have become a little busy. There are also some people in the prison of the capital government office.

There is no need for Lin Qiantan to explain, the people under her also know how to do things. Judging from the voices of folk discussion reported from various shops under her name, it seems that Emperor Tianlong's reputation has suffered a lot of losses after this battle.

Even if Emperor Tianlong basically quelled the Suizhou Rebellion with the power of thunder with such a sacrifice, perhaps the emperor himself knows best whether the consequences are worth it or not.

Lin Qiantan herself even heard the maids of the Marquis Mansion of Dongshan talking there, saying that the emperor was cruel.

Emperor Tianlong won't like to hear such news, but for some people, it is excellent news.

Wang Pu had a hangover with people and drank heartily. At the Wang family's mansion, Xia Sanniang rarely showed a bright smile, and her beauty was so beautiful that the neighbors were dumbfounded.

Wang Dagou was uncomfortable with the content in "History of Xia", Xia Sanniang saw it, and rarely laughed at her beloved eldest son: "How did your husband teach you?" History is always written by the winners! He Yan Guang is this puppet emperor, how history is all about his mouth, the upper and lower skins touch and the final say, wait for you to ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Wang Dagou interrupted her with a loud voice.

Xia Sanniang was also happy for a while, drank a few more glasses, and almost lost her words after drinking and said that she was drunk. Wang Dagou shouted to stop her, she was not angry, but said dotingly: "That's it, mother won't talk about it."

Emperor Tianlong vented his anger for a while, didn't he destroy the Great Wall? Xia Sanniang has no reason to be unhappy.

She wore her newly made clothes, and even danced, and her light dress was blown by the summer breeze, and it rippled with colorful colors, where was the "ordinary fabric" worn by an ordinary woman......

And the dancers are also too young and glamorous to look like people in their forties.

Wang Dagou was helpless and said, "Mother, my son has gone out to work."

Xia Sanniang also knew his temper, and she didn't care about him, and her movements didn't stop, no one watched her dance, and she danced happily.

*

Lin Qiantan has just bought a book of court dance music and dance steps that have been inherited from the previous dynasty.

It is said that the third princess of the late Xia Dynasty was proficient in all the dance steps on this score, and often danced to her father.

It is not for nothing that Emperor Xia loves this daughter. As soon as the three princesses danced, the late Xia Emperor was even so happy that he forgot the early dynasty.

Lin Qiantan had nothing to do, so she simply flipped through and followed the action, and after a while, her clothes were wet with sweat on her body.

It was still very hot in the capital, and the rain stopped again, and the people in the house were looking forward to a heavier rain. Lin Qiantan is no exception.

Some of the ice cubes in the house are not enough. Shen's body is sometimes good and sometimes bad. The juniors are also embarrassed to leave the house and go out to escape the heat.

The Lin family has a Zhuangzi who escapes the summer.

After discussion, only the elders enjoyed the treatment of ice cubes, and the ice cubes of the juniors were cut.

Lin Qiantan doesn't care. But some people can't stand it.

As soon as the weather is hot, people sweat, and Lin Bixiang can't stand the smell of sweat on her body. Yin Wei thought of a way to give her Lin Qiantan and Lin Shuchen's share.

Lin Shuchen dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he often went to Lin Qiantan's house and instigated Lin Qiantan to come forward to make trouble.

Lin Qiantan ignored her.

Lin Qiantan herself is not afraid of heat, but it doesn't mean that the girls are all the same. She is indeed not short of that money, but she does not want to make people think that she is so weak and deceitful.

Of course, Yin Wei will not show any tricks on the open accounts.

She also knew that Lin Qiantan was not short of that money in her hand now.

The fact that the money in the public middle school was lost by her, she expected that it must have been exposed by Lin Qiantan.

She's just disgusting and disgusting.

Yin Wei herself also has a dowry that can be embezzled, and the supply of ice cubes in Lin Bixiang's house will not be interrupted.

In the entire third room, Lin Bixiang has become the coolest place.

If someone asked, Yin Wei would only say that she had bought all the ice cubes for her daughter with her dowry, and that would be it.

Lin Qiantan didn't say much. I just happened to go and post to each family and call a few friends to come to the door.

Lin Bixiang had ice cubes in the house, but she didn't have them in the house, so she wanted to invite someone to the house. Yin Wei is not stingy and spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Yin Wei knew about her post, and went to talk to Lin Bixiang, but Lin Bixiang didn't care at all: "If she wants to invite someone to come over and embarrass people, then ask her to ask, what does it have to do with me?"

Lin Bixiang is not a fool, how could she not understand the meaning of Yin Wei. Lin Qiantan refused to spend her own money to buy ice cubes, Yin Wei meant to ask her to stop the ice cubes on the day Lin Qiantan invited guests to come to the door.

In this way, at least others will not say that they are favoritism.

Yin Wei also said to her daughter: "She wants us to send the ice over honestly."

Lin Bixiang also thinks so.

Even Jinhe thinks the same thing.

Lin Qiantan laughed: "If even a few of you think so, that's it."

It's just a few pieces of ice, how can she take it to heart.

Although Yin Wei was not wrong. She does have a little bit of that kind of coercion. But the main purpose is not there.

In the backyard of Yinping Pavilion, there is a small pond.

Lin Qiantan used to use it as a fish pond. But since I came back this year, I have released all the fish.

This pool leads to living water.

As for the matter of the ice cubes in the courtyard, she also had some other ways to ask Yin Wei to deliver them to the door herself.

Sending a post, Lin Qiantan handed it over to Luyu to do, Luyu ran a few mansions, and several friends there also said that they would definitely come to the appointment when the time came.

Lin Bixiang not only competed with Lin Qiantan for the name, but also competed with Lin Qiantan for the ownership of Yinping Pavilion. The small pond in the backyard of Yinping Pavilion is also a reason.

Lin Qiantan invited the sisters to come, but it was better to be happy alone than to be happy, how could she have the thoughts that Yin Wei's mother and daughter thought.

Jin He couldn't help but ask Lin Qiantan what he wanted to do, and asked Yin Wei to take the initiative to send the ice cubes. Lin Qiantan smiled and didn't explain.

Two days later, Chen Jingrou and others, who were invited by Lin Qiantan, all came as promised. Lin Qiantan arranged some things in the backyard of Yinping Pavilion. On the edge of a small pond surrounded by stones, there are a few small stools. Several people sat on it, took off their trousers, and put their feet in.

In this matter, there are also girls in the yard who have persuaded them, but they all say that things gather by like, and people are divided by groups, and these few people Lin Qiantan knows don't care about half-exposing their feet in front of others.

Only Chen Jingrou seemed a little embarrassed. Among the four or five people, only her feet were so rough that she couldn't do it, compared to Lin Qiantan and others, her skin could be broken by blowing, and she was like a yellow and black stone.

But among the people present, no one disliked her.

In such a hot weather, although Lin Qiantan said that she was not afraid of the heat. But there was no ice in the house, and the room temperature was very high, and everyone noticed it.

A few pairs of feet stepped into the water, and with the fruit that had been surging through, the occasional wind blew in the courtyard, and it was not too hot for them to eat some fruit under the shade of the trees.

Lin Qiantan didn't say it, several good friends also knew some of the situation of the Lin family.

It's just that Zhang Yan has been to Lin Qiantan's own store, and she can't help but wonder why Lin Qiantan has a lot of money, so why didn't she spend money to buy some by herself.

Lin Qiantan said with a smile, looking at him left and right: "It's okay to do this this year." By next year, when the house has a stock of ice, things will always be better. ”

But these are the Lin family's affairs after all, Zhang Yan didn't interject.

The situation in her own family is similar now, the expenses of the house are barely maintained, not to mention the use of ice, and even most of the slaves are dismissed.

Lin Qiantan said this, and they didn't ask again. Lin Qiantan actually didn't need any special methods.

Yin Wei dared to cut off her supply of ice cubes here, and she also took this opportunity to see if anyone in her yard would be upset because there was no ice cubes available for just a day or two. It's like some little girls at the bottom, who are more or less related to other people in the house......

Zhang Yan and the others went back, and Lin Qiantan simply nested there and watched the dance steps, just waiting for the heavy rain to fall from the sky, which made people more comfortable.

However, the weather is not beautiful, and the capital has been dry for two days.

After two days, there were really one or two people in the Yinping Pavilion who were not quite right, and Lin Qiantan remembered it in her heart, and she was not in a hurry to leave.

Lin Qiantan still has to do what she should do. waited for the fish in her house to jump out on their own, so she made an excuse and sent two or three little girls elsewhere.

Jinhe grinned: "Madame, this is the person who plans to buy us."

It's hot. Lin Qiantan "slammed the door", and the yard was not an iron bucket. Yin Wei wanted to install someone other than Mama Gou in Lin Qiantan's house.

Lin Qiantan didn't ask the little girl who was sent out, but asked about Mama Gou.

"What has she been doing these two days?"

The person who answered changed screens.

"What else can I do, just run at both ends, and I don't know what I told my wife about here."

Lin Qiantan smiled. Mama Gou didn't dare to talk nonsense.

A person is not afraid that she is greedy for money, but he is afraid that she is not greedy for money. As long as Mama Gou is greedy for money, Lin Qiantan has a way to control her. She grabbed the two Gou brothers in her hands again, which was equivalent to choking Mama Gou's throat.

Gou Donghe and Gou Xi won a lot of money in a row a while ago, and Lin Qiantan thought that it was time for them to lose and lose.

This time.

Yin Wei also put on a face and didn't care what others said about her. There was no ice in Lin Qiantan's house to cool down. The first person who can't stand it will not be others, but Lin Yangde.

On this day, Lin Yangde brought the guest to the door, and after the guest went back, Yin Wei was inexplicably called by Lin Yangde to personally reprimand.

In the evening, she really did what Lin Qiantan said, and sent the ice cubes over.

The girls in the room didn't understand what was going on.

Lin Qiantan laughed.

In my ears were the girls chattering: "The third lady married into the Lin family, I am afraid that she has never been so ashamed, and she was personally punished by the Hou Ye to kneel......"

The girl in the inner courtyard of the deep mansion or even Yin Wei, the housewife, may not know what this is all about - Lin Yangde has been secretly seeking a nickname for his father, Lin Qiantan's great-grandfather.

This great-ancestor of the Lin family was just a commoner, and when Lin Yangde became famous, he was already braided.

Lin Yangde only told Shen Shi alone about this matter. Although the Shen family has been chattering recently, they will not leak the news about this kind of thing.

Lin Qiantan was just puzzled. When she went to take care of Shen's place, she obviously found that Shen had written a letter to her mother's family.

Although she has a relationship with her mother's family, she has never been so attentive before.

So Lin Qiantan moved her mind.

Shen Ning also said that she didn't know. Lin Qiantan then found Lin Yangde's little aunt who had just entered the house.

Nie Yun is slightly younger than Lin Qiantan, but her seniority is two generations higher, and her status in the Lin family is already embarrassing.

There is such a Lin family as Lin Qiantan who is willing to take care of her, and it is not a secret to ask her, she just blows the pillow wind.

Similarly, Yin Wei also noticed that something was wrong and inquired. However, she didn't know that Lin Yangde was asking for someone, and she didn't know who Lin Yangde was asking for. She only knew that Shen wrote back to her parents' house and asked her mother's family to help with something.

Those who came to the door were those who were in charge of the officials and magnates.

The officials in charge of these pay the most attention to the etiquette and rules of these concubines in the backyard of the deep house. Lin Yangde originally invited someone to come to the door, so as to show his family style in front of the other party, so as to fight for the father who had been dead for decades.

As a result, Yin Wei inadvertently dragged her feet.

That official didn't come so coincidentally, but Lin Qiantan asked someone to send a message into his ear, telling that person that his favorite "Spring Mountain Picture" was in Lin Yangde's hands.

Lin Yangde was still wondering why the adults who had invited him many times before and didn't agree to come to the door suddenly agreed.

Yin Wei ate her father-in-law's leader, but she could only bow her head and admit it.

Where is Lin Qiantan who is really missing those ice cubes.

Now this season, no matter how expensive the ice is, she can get it. She sells these things in her own shop.

She just wants to make Yin Wei's mother and daughter unhappy.

*

Yin Wei suffered a loss, and she was even more annoyed with Lin Qiantan's troubles. When Lin Qiantan entered the palace to visit Concubine Xiao the next day, she inexplicably provoked the imperial concubine Yin Qiang, and was scolded for twenty rings.

The speed of the execution was hasty and rapid, and it was too late to ask Concubine Xiao to rush over to save the scene.

And the reason why Yin Qiang beat people was just that Lin Qiantan instigated Lin Ziye to flee without permission and go to join the army. Yin Qiang said that she was a chicken Si Chen, which violated women's morality.

The official level crushed people to death, Lin Qiantan was not a prophet, and he really couldn't count that Yin Qiang would show his face. She was still on her way to Concubine Xiao, so she robbed people halfway.

It is even more impossible for her to manage Lin Ziye and not escape from home.

There were sharp and sharp soft nails on the ring ruler, and after looking at it for twenty times, Lin Qiantan's entire back of hand was scratched.

How could Concubine Xiao catch up with her two-legged approach, and by the time Lin Qiantan heard the sound of Concubine Xiao coming from the door outside, it was too late.

Lin Qiantan then looked at Yin Qiang coldly, revealing an undisguised smug smile. I wrote this down in my heart.

Concubine Xiao walked in like a hot wheel, and came to Lin Qiantan in three steps and two steps, and before the person could speak, she first slapped her, and directly beat the executing palace grandmother to the point that three teeth fell out.

You can see how much effort it takes.

"The imperial concubine is so temperamental, she will be punished when she says that she will be punished!" Concubine Xiao was also angry to the extreme, and she didn't give Yin Qiang face when she spoke.

Yin Qiang smiled and said: "This palace teaches her niece, it seems that there is no need for an outsider like the concubine to ask, right?" Nominally, Yin Qiang is her aunt, and Concubine Xiao, although she has a relationship with Lin Qiantan's biological mother, after all, she does have nothing to do with Lin Qiantan in terms of patriarchy.

The two went head-to-head. Lin Qiantan was protected by the people brought by Concubine Xiao. After that, Lin Qiantan didn't have a chance to see it, and she didn't know how Concubine Xiao did it against Yin Qiang.

Yin Qiang is very ruthless. The ring ruler with nails scraped the delicate and white skin of Lin Qiantan's hand into blood. It would not be an exaggeration to say that you almost saw the bones in one step.

Lin Qiantan bit her lips in pain, but she still had the heart to ridicule: This may be the Yin sisters' method of dealing with people.

Fortunately, when I entered the palace, I brought Ji Yue and Fengguang, the two people who had nothing to do with the Lin family and the Chu family, and they were also sincere people, but they didn't have much friendship with Jinhe. Turning back, she didn't plan to let the people around her know how her injuries came about.

Her hand was injured and of course needed immediate emergency treatment. There is no need for Concubine Xiao to order, and the palace maid also knows to ask for a doctor.

Lin Qiantan was clearly in pain, but she still gritted her teeth and held on. That persistent look in the eyes of others can be said to be moving.

Especially Ji Yue and Fengguang. There was already a white moonlight in their sisters' hearts, and they were given to Lin Qiantan by Wang Yuanzhao, so they couldn't really have the slightest grudge in their hearts.

But it was also from this moment that their sisters really recognized Lin Qiantan as the master from the bottom of their bones.

Lin Qiantan didn't have time to pay attention to the subtle changes in her mind in this incident. She was sturdy with a ruler.

Why Yin Qiang would attack her, she also knew in her heart.

These things must have something to do with Yin Wei.

The so-called crime of wanting to add is unexcused, and Yin Qiang uses Lin Ziye as a reason, which is actually very far-fetched. But Yin Qiang is the imperial concubine, and theoretically speaking, her status is slightly higher than that of Concubine Xiao.

It is natural for her to educate her niece.

While waiting for the imperial doctor to come back, Concubine Xiao had already returned from outside.

Concubine Xiao naturally has a lot of healing holy products in her hands, and she can't take into account the rule of "private bedrooms are not allowed to enter without permission" in this emergency.

Seeing that Lin Qiantan was still hanging her hands there, she became angry angrily: "One by one, they can't be stupid!" Didn't you see Miss Seven's hand like this, all this is taken out? Why don't you take out the best Tianshan Snow Lotus Paste in the palace? ”

The imperial doctor has not yet arrived, and Concubine Xiao has always had a rule that others are not allowed to enter the bedroom at will. Lin Qiantan also knew that these palace maids really just did things according to the rules. The emergency medicine brought is actually not bad, but compared with treasures like Snow Lotus, it is indeed ...... No need to compare.

The master was angry, and the palace people were silent. Someone quickly went to get something. Concubine Xiao personally helped Lin Qiantan and walked to her inner room.

Lin Qiantan did not refuse. I thought that I had suffered a loss this time, and if this hand was not wasted, it was also necessary to raise it for a while. She was only glad that she moved quickly, and when she ate the first ring ruler, she quickly stuffed a jade pendant into the hand of the grandmother who was doing it.

Now it seems that none of the people who work in this palace are stupid.

The grandmother reacted in an instant, and collected most of her strength. Otherwise, her injuries might have been much worse now.

The loss is that he knows that when he enters the palace, there will be something that needs to be touched, and now it seems that a good jade is exchanged for a pair of hands, which is really worth it.

And Concubine Xiao's inner room, Lin Qiantan entered it for the first time.

Concubine Xiao was full of anger. Where can she care about tidying up her desktop, so she didn't notice that there was a broken sheepskin on her desktop, which was a secret of her Xiao family......

Today's incident, Concubine Xiao would be so angry, and it was a little unexpected for Lin Qiantan. But it makes sense.

Yin Qiang's approach not only taught her a lesson, but also slapped Concubine Xiao's face.

Concubine Xiao grabbed Lin Qiantan's hand and comforted her softly. Lin Qiantan smiled and told her that she was fine, and her eyes subconsciously turned away and circulated in the room.
