Chapter 44: Recklessness
Lin Yunxin sneered, gave him a blank look and said, "What nonsense are you talking about again?" General Xu is also what you can choreograph? ”
"Oh, it turns out that you have a crush on General Xu, it's okay, I'll just say, no matter how blind my sister is, she won't have the same aesthetic as Lin Suhui's girl, Zhang Junhong's kind of flower butterfly is still free." Lin Shenan smiled and quickly shook the folding fan.
"Don't talk nonsense." Lin Yunxin looked to both sides to make sure that no one noticed this side, "The wall has ears, let's go back first." ”
As soon as he got into the carriage, Lin Shenan immediately said, "Seriously, sister, have you ever considered your own marriage?" After all, you're done, aren't you? Under normal circumstances, the family has already taken a fancy to the daughter, and it is our family ......"
Lin Yunxin knew that his unfinished words were that they had no mother, and secondly, they had a father who didn't do much except books, so he kept delaying.
"Although I don't like you to marry early, the girl's family always has to get married...... Tsk, forget it, otherwise, if you really don't have anything to look at, it's a big deal that I will raise you for a lifetime, and I won't let you live worse than anyone else! Lin Shen'an put away the folding fan and said solemnly.
Lin Yunxin smiled lightly: "Don't worry, I am free to arrange this matter." ”
"Really?" Lin Shenan was a little suspicious, "How can you arrange it?" This parent's order matchmaker's words, although boring, but generally can't go beyond these, but you really should be careful, otherwise it will be troublesome for grandmother to insert a pole at that time. I see that she was very unhappy with you forcibly asking for your mother's dowry last time, maybe she deliberately gave you small shoes to wear, and found you an old, ugly and sloppy rough man, and the diaphragm should not kill you. ”
"Go! There is no door on the mouth, and he talks nonsense all day long. Lin Yunxin glared at him speechlessly, and said, "Speaking of marriage...... There's one thing that really needs to be addressed. ”
At that time, her mother had a verbal marriage contract with General Yuan because of 200,000 taels of material support, and exchanged tokens, it is said that the Pisces pendant is still the heirloom of the Yuan family, she should still let her father find a chance to give others back, after all, the general's wife looks down on their family, and it is easy to turn into hatred if they really want to entangle, and it is completely unnecessary to be kind.
That night, Lin Yunxin informed his father Lin Jingzhi of this matter, and he also agreed with this, after all, the Lin family is too far from the Yuan family at present, and he neither has the mind to climb high nor does he want his daughter to really marry and be wronged.
"Okay, Wan Xin, don't worry, this matter is on my father, but my father is still a little busy these days, and when the compilation of the new dynasty canon is over in a few days, my father will immediately go to visit General Yuan." Lin Jingzhi smiled gently, but his eye sockets were a little blue.
Lin Yunxin looked a little worried, but for a while she couldn't tell whether her father's eye sockets were blue and black from fighting day and night, or if there was really something bad about to come.
After a pause, she instructed: "Dad should be careful recently, don't get into arguments with people, and go home early every day." ”
"Got it." The intimacy of her daughter made Lin Jingzhi happy.
However, three days later.
A sudden change made the entire Lin family turbulent.
Lin Jingzhi openly contradicted the emperor and was directly imprisoned.
When the news came, Lin Yunxin was checking with her uncle Li Hualin on East Street about the varieties and quantities of various precious medicinal materials transported, and when she learned the news, she immediately threw down her work and hurried to the teahouse belonging to General Xu.
I saw that the sky was blue, but the teahouse suddenly closed, and only one guy was hurriedly locking the last door.
Lin Yunxin immediately stepped forward and asked, "It's so decent, why did you suddenly close the door?" ”
The guy looked like he was only in his early twenties, and he shook his head when he heard this: "It's not good, it's not good, there have been guys in the store one after another recently, and my mother at home also needs to take care of it, so I just took a leave of absence from the shopkeeper for a while." ”
Lin Yunxin was a little anxious: "Then how can I find your shopkeeper?" "Usually, the Black Yan Army is not easy to contact, firstly, there is no way to deliver, and secondly, it can't cause trouble to General Xu, it would be too rude to rush to the door, not to mention that General Xu often goes out to run errands and is not in the imperial capital.
The guy wondered, "Is there something urgent about Miss?" ”
Lin Yunxin choked, and was hesitating whether to reveal it to a guy, and the guy said: "Miss doesn't need to worry too much, although the little one doesn't know what the specific situation is, but Miss has always been kind on weekdays, and Jiren has his own natural appearance, what you are worried about will definitely not be a problem, even if there is a temporary difficulty, the future will be better." Miss was still a little restless. ”
"It's late, it's late, it's time to go back." With that, the guy quickly left.
Lin Yunxin stayed in place for a while, understood the guy's words, and turned around and went to Zhang Shangshu's Mansion with the maid and a group of expensive supplements.
In Shangshu Mansion, her aunt Lin Rushuang was more than eight months pregnant, and Lin Yunxin looked at her pot-bellied appearance, so she didn't directly mention her father's matter, but raised some funny topics, so as not to worry too much.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for his uncle Zhang Linchen to come home, and when he saw her coming, he understood her intentions, glanced at his wife and saw that she was no different from the usual, and his heart was a little calmer, and he called: "Wan Xin, come with me." ”
From her uncle, Lin Yunxin finally learned the truth.
Originally, with her father's grade of six grades, she was completely unqualified to go to the court and go to the emperor, but coincidentally, today's father's compilation of the canon has come to an end, and Chen Qizhi, the head of the Hanlin Academy, wants to take his subordinates to show his face in front of the emperor, and he will report the work, which will be more detailed and perfect.
What she didn't expect was that her father, who was usually timid even when arguing with others, had the courage to confront the emperor in public today.
The reason is that an unknown plague broke out in a village in Anxian County recently, and the plague quickly spread to other villages, and many people have died when the news reached the emperor's ears, and now the plague even has a tendency to sweep the imperial capital.
The controversy was originally only unfolded in the emperor's imperial study, and only a few ministers were present, but Chen Zhangyuan never expected that Lin Jingzhi, who was usually conscientious and meticulous but not good at words, would loudly stop it when the emperor advocated burning the village to control the plague before the matter was out of control.
But the key point is that Lin Jingzhi only put forward the opposite opinion in anger for a while, and he failed to come up with a reliable charter on how to control the outbreak of the plague and solve the problem.
As a result, the emperor was furious, Lin Jingzhi was not a court official in the first place, and he was not qualified to face the saint, and now he made a lot of nonsense in the imperial study, and the emperor put him in prison on the grounds of disturbing the court.
"I see." Lin Yunxin paused slightly, no wonder, she clearly remembered that her father had not gone through this experience in her previous life, and yes, her father had not been able to return to the court in her previous life, and now that she has returned to the court, many things are naturally different.
It seems that a few days ago, when General Xu left in a hurry in the teahouse, he learned about this incident, so he reminded her to go out less recently, after all, things like plague don't have eyes.
Zhang Linchen said: "What do you think, why don't you tell me?" ”
Lin Yunxin said: "Uncle, don't tell your aunt about this matter first, it is important for her to have a safe pregnancy." ”
Zhang Linchen bowed slightly: "This is nature." ”
"In addition, I thought about it, if I want to rescue my father, I'm afraid there are only two scenarios. Either the plague subsides and the dragon is happy, or you can let your father go, otherwise, once the plague gets more and more serious, it really comes to the point of burning the village and the sick...... If you want to save your father again, I am afraid that only if the Lin family establishes meritorious deeds in the future, can you ask the emperor for mercy. "After all, the worse the plague, the less beautiful the emperor's mood becomes.
"I just don't know...... With Daddy's body, can he carry it in prison for that long? Lin Yunxin was worried.
"It's hard for you to see so clearly." Zhang Linchen nodded. This incident is also caused by his wife and brother being too imprudent, how can he be unprepared to confront the emperor in person? In this way, the emperor can't punish him, otherwise if other courtiers follow suit in the future, how can the emperor save face?
After all, he is also a person who is dozens of years old, and although the heart of a child is worthy of appreciation, it should not be so impulsive in the end.
"You don't have to worry too much, I've already said hello to the Criminal Department, and I won't treat your father too harshly."
"Thank you, uncle." Lin Yunxin said solemnly.
Seeing that Lin Yunxin's expression was only resolute and not flustered, Zhang Linchen secretly praised more and more, although his wife and brother were reckless, but a pair of children were well taught.
"You go back first, my uncle will figure out a way to do this." Zhang Linchen said.
"Yes, Uncle Lao has bothered a lot." After thinking about it, Lin Yunxin gradually had an idea.
In terms of officialdom, she naturally can't do anything, but she also has things she can do.
Lin Yunxin quickly left Shangshu Mansion and returned to Dongdajie, handed his uncle Li Hualin a few silver tickets and two simple drawings, and solemnly told him the reason and purpose.
"Uncle, don't say anything else, this mask and a high degree of alcohol can save lives in this plague, and secondly, it can also bring huge profits to uncle, killing two birds with one stone......"
"Needless to say, Uncle Wan Xin will definitely take care of this matter for you." As soon as he heard Lin Yunxin talk about the plague, Li Hualin immediately understood the seriousness of the situation. What's more, he is a businessman, and the news is better than ordinary people, but the news he got before was that there was a strange disease in the village, with many deaths and injuries, but he didn't expect to be characterized as a plague by the imperial court so soon.
Although his mission in the imperial capital is to ...... But in the end, it's just to find out the news, the plague is no longer something he can interfere in, and as for the emperor's capital, it's not something he can consider.
Li Hualin quickly settled down: "Don't worry, Wan Xin." ”
Lin Yunxin looked at her uncle quietly and solemnly, and said softly: "If my father can be rescued this time, my uncle will definitely make a great contribution." ”
Thinking of the sister-in-law who was always said by their most beloved sister back then, Li Hualin's eyes softened, and he reached out and touched Lin Yunxin's head: "He'll be fine, rest assured, huh?" ”
"Hmm!" Lin Yunxin nodded emphatically.
Horse-drawn carriages run fast on the road.
Lin Yunxin's heart was also unprecedentedly calm.
She knows very well that although the entrustment to her uncle and uncle is important, the real key to the success of what she wants to do is Liu Xiangquan, who is recuperating from her injuries at home!
