Chapter 103: Donating Money
The night is getting deeper.
The night was silent, except for the faint crackling of torches on the walls.
After all, Lin Mianru is the wife of General Zhongwu, and the cell is well arranged, and she still sleeps softly. Soft couch.
By this time she was asleep.
After all, only by cultivating enough spirit can she cope with everything better, and she has always been good to herself.
At this moment, the torches on the wall suddenly shook violently, and the shadows in the entire cell flickered in a trance, and the soldiers on patrol were originally drowsy, but they suddenly woke up, but unfortunately before they could react, several black shadows flickered inadvertently, and the patrol soldiers fell silently.
However, even if the sound was extremely subtle, Lin Mianru suddenly woke up, she was already sleeping very lightly, and the slightest movement would make her alert.
"Who are you?" Lin Mianru asked loudly, her voice trembling, hoping to attract patrol soldiers from farther away.
found that she woke up, the man in black led by him smacked his lips slightly and said in a low voice: "Kill her." β
Lin Mianru's eyes widened suddenly: "What do you want to do?!" She jumped out of bed quickly, but unfortunately the cell was surrounded by walls, where could she escape?
"Someone! Helpβ" Lin Mianru exclaimed.
At this moment, the nearest black shadow hand was raised, and a flying knife shot out, shooting straight into Lin Mianru's chest.
However, the "bellββ! Halfway through, the knife was stopped by a copper coin.
Just like before in the Tiger Roaring Pavilion, many dragon guards quickly surrounded the prison.
The dragon who threw out the copper coin said coldly: "Don't let any of them go." β
The bloody fight, in the prison of fire and shadow, unfolded in Lin Mianru's frightened eyes.
Early the next morning.
On the premise that the murderers confessed to being the dead soldiers in Huaizhou, and had been imprisoned for three days, Jing Zhaoyin thought that there was no reason to continue to imprison Lin Mianru, the wife of the loyal general who was implicated, so he released the person and even sent someone to escort her back to the Qin Mansion.
Outside the gate of the Qin Mansion, the housekeeper was already guarding the door, and when he saw Lin Mian getting off the car, he immediately ordered two stout mothers-in-law to greet him.
Seeing this scene, Lin Mianru's heart was cold, but her face suddenly showed a look of pain, covered her abdomen and said sadly: "Ouch, my belly...... Vomit! "Even made a posture of disgusting pantothenic acid.
In this way, the housekeeper was a little puzzled, but also a little more careful, he thought of a possibility, and immediately changed his face: "You pay attention, escort the lady in, come here, go and ask for a doctor!" β
Half an hour later.
In the hall, the doctor finished cutting Lin Mianru's pulse, and immediately laughed: "Congratulations to Mrs., Mrs. Hexi, Mrs. is happy!" β
"Really?" Although she had already learned the news, Lin Mianru still showed a look of surprise that she had just knew, "I'm really happy?" I have a child with my husband? She clutched her heart, her body couldn't help but tremble faintly, and there were tears in her eyes.
The doctor stroked the tiger's whiskers and said with a smile: "Madame's fetus is less than two months old, and she still needs to raise it for a while to sit firmly on the fetus." β
The housekeeper heard the news not far away, and immediately ordered someone to inform Qin Yanqi that Mrs. was pregnant, and the situation was very different, even if the old lady knew, she would only be happy and wait to hold her grandson, so I am afraid that the tricks used to deal with Mrs. will not be used for the time being.
It's really good luck to get pregnant at this time.
Sure enough, after learning that her daughter-in-law was pregnant, the old lady. Daxi, he immediately ordered the servants to find a lot of things to send to Lin Mianru's house, and also pulled her to give a long and short order.
After all, he is the first grandson of the Qin family, and he is the grandson of the main family, so he naturally attaches great importance to it.
Even Qin Yanqi, who has never had much good face, was also kind to Lin Mianru, especially when she learned that she kept her secret and did not betray herself.
However, at the moment when she dealt with everyone with a perfect smile and closed the bedroom door, Lin Mianru's face suddenly turned cold.
Qin Yanqi really sent someone to kill her again, there is such a wolf-hearted dog man in this world.
In the past, in the Qin family, no matter how difficult it was, at least he would not lose his life at will, but since marrying Qin Yan, he could be in danger of his life at any time.
He dares to do such a thing, naturally the plot is not small, but behind the interests of anything is accompanied by great risks, every move is wrong and he will lose, and when the time comes, as his relative, I am afraid she will not be spared.
No, it can't be like this, she has children now, as Lin Yunxin's girl said, as long as she has a family business and a son, she may not have to rely on a man.
It seems that her previous decision to cut off contact with the Lin family was actually wrong......
General's Palace.
"Miss, you are so attentive to Lin Mianru, can she understand?" Although Lin Yunxin is married, in private, Ning Cui still often calls Lin Yunxin Miss, she has long been used to this, and Lin Yunxin has not changed her deliberately.
"She'll understand, she's a smart person."
"Really, they always let the young lady worry about it, and they make some moths every day."
Lin Yunxin smiled: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, as long as people have desires. Hope, it will never stop. β
"I don't know when my uncle will come back." Ning Cui sighed.
"Next month." Lin Yunxin said.
"Really?" Surprise with condensation.
"Well, it's been raining for so long, and it's time to stop, but it's not easy to rebuild after the disaster...... "Let's hope everything is safe."
"I don't know how many people will ...... this time" Ning Cui wanted to speak and stopped, everyone knew that water and fire were ruthless, and the people around the Qinjiang River would inevitably suffer, "It's true these years, after fighting for so long, it's hard not to fight and all day long Natural disasters and man-made disasters, either plagues, bandits, and floods, when is it a head?" β
"It's only been these two years." Lin Yunxin said.
"Huh?" Condensation was surprised.
Lin Yunxin said: "But where from decline to prosperity, the past few years have always been a variety of tosses, after all, to get rid of the old and welcome the new, to get rid of the stale, there will be pains, and after a few years have passed, it will gradually get better." β
"Hmmm! Mademoiselle is right! Ning Cui was happy again.
At this time, Xiangzhu walked in quickly: "Madam, there is your invitation." β
Lin Yunxin opened it and said with a slight surprise: "The queen ......"
"The Queen?" Ning Cui was surprised, "Would you like to ask Miss to go?" β
"Well, there should be a lot of noble ladies with heads and faces in the emperor, it seems that the queen is going to move." Lin Yunxin said with a smile.
Two days later.
Kun'an Palace.
"Today is also a rare day for all the ladies to gather together." The queen sat on the top of the head, dressed luxuriously, and smiled gracefully and elegantly.
"The queen mother Hongfu." Everyone said in unison.
"You're welcome, the Northern Qi Dynasty has recently paid tribute to a batch of fresh lychees, and today I just want everyone to try it." Queen Wang smiled, "Min Rong." She called lightly, and the female official named Min Rong immediately ordered a group of palace maids to present fresh lychees, and a fruit platter composed of various melons and fruits was placed beside each lady.
"Ouch, that's a delight to look at."
"Thank you, Queen, for the reward."
"We're blessed today."
All the ladies laughed.
While tasting melons and fruit snacks, everyone chatted and exchanged information, although they all knew that the queen must have something to say when she invited someone to come, but no one spoke in advance.
Lin Yunxin, as the wife of General Xu, is a good person, because of her high status, she sits in the closest place to Queen Wang, and next to her is General Yuan's wife Zhuang, and the two are also "old acquaintances" for various reasons.
Zhuang looked at Lin Yunxin's calm posture and drank tea and fruit, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, this girl was the same age as her daughter, but because she married Xu Chunzhi, her grade was higher than her, and this position should have belonged to her daughter, but she was robbed by Lin Yunxin, causing her to worry about her daughter's marriage now.
"Mrs. Xu shouldn't have seen General Xu for a while, right?" Zhuang said suddenly.
Zhuang's voice was neither loud nor small, but most of the ladies present were very old, and suddenly mixed with such a beautiful girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, she was still a good order, which naturally attracted everyone's attention. As soon as she opened her mouth, she asked this question again, and the voices around her unconsciously became much quieter, and it was obvious that many people were interested in this topic.
Lin Yunxin and Xu Chunzhi are indeed newlyweds, but they haven't been able to survive for a few days, and the matter of the Qinjiang River flood bursting the embankment has already been placed in front of the emperor's case.
Empress Wang also seemed to be interested in this, and said: "Not only General Xu, but also Lin Xuhuai, the squire of the Ministry of Works, is also the grandfather of the Lin family. β
Queen Wang expressed her position, and other ladies also praised Old Man Lin and Xu Chunzhi.
Lin Yunxin smiled very humbly, consciously glanced at the queen and queen, and smiled at everyone: "The queen mother and all the ladies have praised it falsely, as the courtiers of the dynasty, it is within the scope of the matter to share the worries of the emperor and the people, where is the worry of eating the king and being loyal to the king?" It is our women who should do their part for the country. β
"That's a good point." Queen Wang smiled and glanced at Lin Yunxin with appreciation, "As women, we should be like this, now the heavy rain in the south continues, the Qinjiang River bursts, millions of soldiers and civilians unite to fight the flood, and the emperor has also transferred silver and two materials from the treasury to rescue, only sighing that the people are sad and displaced, and the palace is worried every time I hear the emperor mention it......
Queen Wang's heartfelt statement also moved the ladies present, and everyone also understood what Queen Wang meant, which was to let people donate money.
The treasury is insufficient, and there is no tax subsidy at the moment, so why not fight the idea of the courtiers? However, isn't it receiving the treasury and taxes of Huaizhou and several surrounding states recently, and has it not been alleviated?
Although the ladies were puzzled, they didn't ask in the end.
Queen Wang said: "In recent years, every year of the war, the people around the country are not living, now finally have a good life, and encounter such disasters, fortunately in God bless Daqing, as long as the people work together, they will be able to tide over the difficulties, the palace as a model for the harem, has been scheduled to reduce the harem expenses, and donated 100,000 taels ......in advance."
100,000 taels?
The ladies present suddenly exchanged glances, and their eyes were surprised, the queen actually donated so much in one go?
But the queen's attitude has been placed here, even if everyone has the heart to reduce, it is not too little.
But it was good to let everyone donate tens of thousands of taels of silver, and it hurt anyone's flesh, and the hall was quiet for a while.
At this moment, Lin Yunxin smiled and said: "The queen is merciful and benevolent, worthy of the title of the mother of all the people in the world. β
What the?
Eighty thousand taels?
The ladies present were taken aback.
