Palace.

Outside the door, near dusk, dozens of palace lamps were lit together, and the lights were cold and treacherous.

Lin Ran looked at Bai Xiuzhu who was standing with his head bowed in front of him, his eyes were filled with water, and in the blur, Bai Xiuzhu suddenly knelt down, "Your Majesty, the women don't dare to climb high." The emperor is the emperor, and the women are willing to take the Bai family to quietly look up to the emperor and the people, and reign over the world. ”

Lin Ran felt his heart sink a little bit.

"Why don't you dare admit that I am your brother?" Lin Ran smiled bitterly, extremely disappointed.

Bai Xiuzhu choked up, "The emperor knows why." ”

Lin Ran said: "I am the Son of Heaven, is my sister going to become a merchant woman?" ”

Bai Xiuzhu said: "If the emperor elevates the people's women, the people's women will be happy, but everyone in the world will rise up against the emperor." The world is in turmoil, and lives are in misery, is this what the emperor wants to see? ”

Lin Ran was deeply shocked, "However, what should I do to make the Bai family no longer a businessman?" At least, it's also a clan of the Yin Dynasty. ”

Merchants are lowly, and the family is the noble bloodline. Lin Ran didn't want his family to be ridiculed as a cheap businessman for generations.

"The emperor doesn't have to worry, the Bai family is very good now. There is no need to be a family subject to so many rules and regulations, and the merchant has his own freedom as a merchant. Bai Xiuzhu replied quite arrogantly, "What's more, the Bai family was also sorry for the emperor back then, as long as the emperor didn't blame him." ”

Lin Ran knew that Bai Xiuzhu said that the Bai family was sorry for Lin Ran, referring to the Bai family selling Lin Ran, Lin Ran said: "I know that the Bai family was also helpless at the beginning. I never blamed it. ”

"The emperor is open-minded and does not remember people's mistakes, and the women are very grateful, so the Bai family cannot live up to the grace of the saint," Bai Xiuzhu slowly lowered her head and knelt down again, "I ask the emperor to fulfill it." ”

Lin Ran almost fainted, "Sister, you really make me uncomfortable." ”

Bai Xiuzhu said: "The women believe that the emperor will be able to bear the unbearable weight of life. ”

Lin Ran said, "So, how about I reward you with gold?" Take it to the Bai family, and pay tribute to me in front of your parents' spiritual throne. ”

"Why should the emperor do this." Bai Xiuzhu said, "I hope the emperor will not let everyone speculate about the relationship between you and the Bai family, lest the Bai family attract death for no reason." ”

Lin Ran understood.

If Lin Ran rewarded Bai Xiuzhu today, the outside world would definitely speculate about the relationship between them.

In order to protect the secret from being leaked, Lin Ran should have no contact with the Bai family.

Bai Xiuzhu said: "Although the women are shallow and vulgar, they also understand what the overall situation is, and I hope that the emperor can also focus on the world and don't worry about small favors." ”

Lin Ran woke up like a dream and nodded heavily, "Then, meet Chao'er." My son, Chao'er. ”

This, Bai Xiuzhu agreed.

East Palace.

The sun outside the house is very big, Zhou Zhengzheng does not dare to go out, but even if he is lying in the house, Zhou Zhengzheng also feels unusually stuffy, if he can, Zhou Zhengzheng wants to go to the mountains to live for a while, it can be regarded as going to escape the summer.

It's just that now that he has a stomach, Zhou Zhengzheng can't go anywhere, unless Lin Zhongchao accompanies him.

"Zheng, how is your appetite today?" Lin Zhongchao asked with concern.

"General, I don't have much appetite," Zhou Zheng really didn't eat anything, and the boring weather made Zhou Zhengzheng's whole body seem to be wrapped in a wet quilt.

"Well, do you want to go out for a walk, I'm free today, I can accompany you." Lin Zhongchao said with a smile,

"Okay," Zhou Zhengzheng was overjoyed, "Take me out for a walk, I'm bored in the room." Zhou Zhengzheng said to Lin Zhongchao with a smile.

"Well, then you can prepare, and after lunch, I'll take you out for a walk."

was finally able to go out for a walk, Zhou Zhengzheng's mood suddenly changed a lot, although he didn't know where he would go, but as long as he followed Lin Zhongchao, he could go anywhere.

The maid brought the food, and Zhou Zhengzheng suddenly felt that these meals were delicious.

Soon, Zhou Zhengzheng finished all the meals, which made the maids on the side feel incredible.

Lin Zhongchao changed into a regular clothes, and a jade pendant hung around his waist. Came early to pick up Zhou Zhengzheng.

"Brother Chao, I'm fine, let's go," Zhou Zhengzheng said with a smile.

"Don't worry, wait a minute, there's something that hasn't arrived yet." Lin Zhongchao said gently.

Zhou Zheng was a little curious, what was so important.

After waiting for a while, Ah Ming suddenly appeared, and Ah Ming came with a large sedan chair.

This is not an ordinary sedan chair, it is covered in red paint, and the two lifting bars are muffled and round, and it takes eight people to lift this sedan chair.

"Okay, let's go in," Lin Zhongchao took Zhou Zhengzheng's hand and cautiously approached the sedan chair.

The sedan chair could not be tilted back and forth, so Lin Zhongchao carried Zhou Zheng into the sedan chair.

"Wow, it's so cool inside." Zhou Zheng was surprised to find that there was a hole in the sedan chair, although there were also two small windows, but the four walls were bamboo, and the bamboo tube was used instead of the bamboo piece.

This is specially tailored by Lin Zhongchao for Zhou Zhengzheng.

This bamboo tube can be filled with water, and sitting in this sedan chair is equivalent to sitting in a cool bamboo forest all around.

In this hot summer, it can be said to be refreshing.

"Well, this is comfortable." Lin Zhongchao is also very satisfied with his creation, with the experience of the sedan chair, Lin Zhongchao has asked people to build a bamboo tube house to give Zhou Zheng a summer retreat.

"Thank you, Brother Chao, this is really cool." Zhou Zhengzheng smiled with satisfaction.

"Let's go." Lin Zhongchao shouted out of the sedan chair again.

"One, two, three." Ah Ming commanded the eight barmen to lift the sedan chair in one go.

This sedan chair is much heavier than an ordinary sedan chair, so all of the eight barmen selected by Ah Ming are strong men.

The sedan chair moved forward slowly, because it walked steadily, Zhou Zhengzheng did not feel the shaking of the sedan chair at all.

And this was also designed by Lin Zhongchao a long time ago, in order not to affect the child in Zhou Zhengzheng's belly.

"Stop." Ah Ming commanded the barman and slowly lowered the sedan chair.

During the whole process, Zhou Zhengzheng was safe and sound.

After returning home, Lin Zhongchao received a holy decree, saying that Lin Ran wanted to see him.

"Just come." Lin Ran settled Zhou Zheng and entered the palace.

"Chao'er, this is Bai Xiuzhu." Lin Ran's expression was solemn.

Lin Zhongchao looked at Bai Xiuzhu and knelt down.

"I can't help it, prince." Bai Xiuzhu also knelt down.

was supported by Lin Zhongchao, "Auntie, let me bow down, just once." ”

Lin Zhongchao insisted so much that Bai Xiuzhu had no choice but to let him kneel down and kowtow: "Auntie, my nephew hopes that my aunt will be healthy for the rest of her life, and the Bai family's business is thriving." Although the nephew cannot serve under his knees day and night, he will pray for the Bai family every night. ”
