The emperor looked at Lin Ruhai with a smile, he also heard Concubine Rong say that Lin Ruhai married Concubine Rong's handkerchief, and the husband and wife had no heirs for many years after marriage.

"Back to the emperor, the minister was lucky to be in the middle of the flowers, which is really the emperor's love. Although the minister has read a few books, but not through the general affairs, do not know the world, so far in the government affairs have not made much achievements, Xi Ju from the five products, but also the heavenly family to take care of the ancestors of the micro-ministers, there are many gifts, the minister is grateful! ”

Emperor Taishang replied lightly, and King Beijing couldn't help but sigh and shook his head, he really didn't expect that the dignified Tanhua was really so uncomprehensible.

Lin Ruhai cautiously retreated, and then wrote poems, he tried his best to be full of wind and snow, spring and autumn sorrow, although he was also rated by the emperor in the end, but after all, he left people with a melancholy and ambitious image of a talented man.

It's just that when the Emperor Taishang was in poor spirits and the noble ministers who were having fun together dispersed one after another, the emperor suddenly stopped Lin Ruhai, "Don't you still have to pick up Mrs. Ling and her brother and sister?" Come with me! ”

fell in the eyes of everyone, and only felt that the emperor's move was probably to appease Lin Ruhai, who was despised in this Lantern Festival poetry meeting.

On the way to the north, Lin Ruhai carefully accompanied the side, along the way, the emperor didn't talk much, more and more frightened Lin Ruhai, when he was about to arrive at Wanshou Pavilion, the emperor suddenly paused, glanced over there, and asked, "Lin Aiqing, what do you think of this year's new salt policy?" ”

Lin Ruhai knelt on the ground, he never dreamed that the emperor would suddenly ask about political affairs, as soon as he came up, it was such a major event related to the national economy and people's livelihood, he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, the minister has nothing to do at home on weekdays, and he will teach the little girl to read and calculate the arts." ”

"Oh! I heard Concubine Rong say that Ling Ai Bingxue is smart, if he is born as a man, he may be a talent for exploring flowers in the future! ”

"It's just that the little girl is filial, and she understands that the minister has come to get this idea bloodline, and she is just having fun under her knees." Lin Ruhai humbled himself and continued, "After the little girl taught herself how to calculate, she always likes to ponder in her heart. Ahead, the head of the village in the Zhuangzi went back and forth to this year's harvest and reported to Humble Jing here, Humble Jing listened to it well, and the little girl listened to five or six mistakes. The head of the village was still aggrieved, and the account book sent was counted three or five times by several stewards before daring to send it, and these people were the ones who did things in previous years, but these mistakes occurred this year. ”

At this time, the emperor also heard some clues, so he asked, "Presumably, the account books of previous years have also been recalculated." ”

"Exactly!"

"But there's something wrong?"

"Naturally, there is."

"Why did you find out this year?"

"At first, I didn't make any mistakes, but later I realized that the calculation was wrong. Those Zhuang heads and stewards are all used by the ancestors of the ministers, and the old people are used in the ministers' families, and the consistent examples are like this, even if they make mistakes, it is difficult for people to calculate. ”

"I also understand, this is really a mystery for the authorities, and the bystanders are clear. What do you think of this salt administration? ”

"The minister thinks that His Majesty asked the minister about the salt administration, and there must be a reason for it. If the minister drafted the charter, it is different from the previous one, and it may not be reasonable for the minister. It is about the same as the old people, who follow the same old routine. ”

The Emperor nodded, slightly relieved, "Presumably you have also considered this matter." Do you know that if you don't say this, if you succeed in the future, I may not return the title you have taken back, and you will not start to do anything, but will intercede for the people in front of you, and others may not know about it, and may not appreciate it! ”

"Don't dare!" Lin Ruhai didn't dare to say much, it has always been difficult to patrol the history of salt, and he didn't look forward to the title coming back, but only looking forward to today's good thoughts, if the sun falls, he can fight for a little vitality for his family.

Daiyu's side, because today was originally the day of reunion, the queen mother did not let the princes be detained, except for the eldest prince and the crown prince who disdained to play with a group of younger brothers and sisters, and stayed with the queen mother, and the bottom was too small, and their respective grandmothers were together, and a group of people who did not slip away in the autumn played hide and seek in the yard and guessed the riddles.

It was Daiyu's turn to be blindfolded to catch people, her legs were short, she was fat, and after being blindfolded, she was a little timid in her heart, and she didn't dare to take a step, so she just stood in the middle of the courtyard and hesitated. First, a few princes laughed at the side, saying that Daiyu was a coward, and then Wu Guizhen, the niece of Concubine Hui's mother's family, came forward and teased Daiyu with a plum blossom, "Come on, come and catch me!" ”

Daiyu grabbed the plum blossoms forward, Wu Guizhen was two years older than her, her legs and feet were more flexible, and when she dodged, Daiyu threw herself into the air, and when she fell to the ground, she was pulled by a hand, and a disgusted childish voice came from her ears, "Stupid!" ”

Then, the cloth covering her eyes was pulled away, and she looked up, a pair of dark eyes, in which countless lights were set in the moonless night, as bright as the stars in that summer night, so bright that people could not take their eyes off it.

The face like a pink ball, the nose carved by Qiongyu, and a pair of lightly pursed lips bloomed into the most delicate flower in this midwinter and early spring, so pink and tender that people can't imagine the color of the city after adulthood.

He looked down at Daiyu's hand around her waist and asked, "Have you hugged enough?" ”

Daiyu hurriedly let go of her hand, and beside her, Wu Guizhen asked with a smile, "Eighth Highness, this little fool touched you just now, why didn't you throw her to the ground?" ”

Yun Zhen's face turned red, and he spat at her, "Don't talk nonsense, this prince is coming to arrest you!" ”

As he spoke, he said to Daiyu, "Remember to stay away at this time, don't be caught again, stupid to death, wearing so much, you can't walk!" ”

Daiyu pursed her lips, but she still obediently walked into the distance, Yun Zhen saw that she was determined, so he tied the strip of cloth, and he went around to catch those princes, but he didn't come to her.

The third prince and the others also saw the clue, and said with a smile, "Xiaoba is protecting that stupid girl, and we will hide over there." When Daiyu saw them coming, she hurriedly moved her position, who knows, she was clumsy, and she was caught by Yun Zhen with braids.

Yun Zhen was happy, when he heard the laughter, he tore off the strip of cloth and saw that it was Daiyu, he wanted to scold but couldn't open his mouth, and threw down the strip of cloth, "Don't play, go guess the riddle!" ”

A group of children coaxed behind him, and Daiyu was very aggrieved and stood still. He took a few steps forward, didn't see the tail, turned around, and stretched out his hand towards Daiyu, "Come on, it's not too early, win a lamp and go out of the palace!" ”
