481 Father and son parted
Lin Zhiping and the Wu family had a nurturing kindness to her, and she couldn't help but go back to visit them. It's been five years, they don't know how anxious they should be, and the longer they have been away from their parents, the more they miss them. The mother of the child is worried, and the Wu family and Lin Zhiping don't know what to be anxious about. Five years ago, Lin Xuan was still in the capital, I don't know how he is now, has he married a wife and had children?
Lin Xuan sneezed coldly, could it be that someone could still talk to him behind his back in broad daylight? He shook his head weakly and patted his head, it was because there were too many things in the yamen recently that he became so suspicious. The slamming knock on the door pulled Lin Xuan's reason back, Lin Xuan took it well, rolled up his hand and put it to his lips and coughed lightly twice, and then said in a deep voice: "Come in." ”
Walking in was a beautiful woman, dressed in a pink embroidered blouse and a pearl-white lake crepe dress. On the melon-seed-shaped white and tender jade-like face, a pair of pear vortices were slightly flushed between the cheeks, and the rouge was lightly smeared, so that the cheeks were polished like a newly opened Qiong flower, white and red. The long black eyebrows, not like a painting, a pair of eyes that are looking forward to life, those seductive eyes, black and white, rippling with intoxicating charm.
The wide pearl-white ribbon was curled, and the long black flowing hair exuded a fairy-like temperament. The long hair and waist hanging, the forehead and ears are tied with a white and pink intarsia hanging bead hair chain, and occasionally one or two disobedient beads hang down, which adds to the beauty of both reality and illusion. With a milky white jade bracelet on his wrist, the warm mutton fat white jade exudes an unspoken brilliance, which complements the simple outfit, and a thin silver necklace around his neck, faintly with a purple luster.
She walked slowly to Lin Xuan's side, holding a hot soup in her hand, and was held by the maid. The maid stood outside the door very consciously and waited, the beautiful woman affectionately put it on the plate, handed him the hot West Lake beef soup, and said with a smile: "Husband, you are also tired, take a break." Since you are resting, you should relax and relax, the affairs of the yamen can never be disposed of, the husband can't be tired, and the concubine will feel distressed. ”
The beautiful woman who came in was Lin Xuan's wife who had just married in the New Year, Jiang Yiyan, the second daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who was knowledgeable, humble and polite. The husband and wife respect each other like guests, Luan Feng and Ming, he once swore in his heart that he would never marry a wife in this life. But an oath can only be an oath, and many times, the environment in which he is in him cannot afford to stick to it, and the first emperor and the ministers have done personal affairs for him many times, but he has rejected them.
This year, his relationship with Jiang Yiyan was the queen mother's personal matchmaker. Of course, before marriage, he had quietly met Jiang Yiyan in the Queen Mother's bedroom, which was the Queen Mother's preferential treatment for him. He knew very well in his heart that this was because of Lin Dongxian, and he missed his sister in his heart. Every time Yan Ran enters the palace, he will be sent to his mansion by the Queen Mother, even if he doesn't live for a day or two, he will see each other, Yan Ran has no mother, and he loves Yan Ran a little more.
Five years of experience in officialdom has long trained Lin Xuan and made him strong. Jiang Yiyan is the second daughter of the family, and she doesn't need to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting like the eldest daughter, she just needs to be a favored girl in the family. Her parents don't have high requirements for her, and they are very satisfied with this family business, there are no elders in Lin Xuan's mansion, so she doesn't have to abide by too many etiquette and rules.
It is precisely because of this that she will agree to this family affair under the persuasion of her parents and happily get married. The days after getting married are very good, she likes it very much, Lin Xuan is an upright person, although he is not smiling, but he is a kind person, she is very happy to marry Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the West Lake beef soup, and said with concern: "You don't have to bring it to me personally, just let someone send it, you are pregnant now, the doctor has instructed, you have to be careful, you can't move the fetal gas." ”
The day before yesterday, Jiang Yiyan suddenly fainted, making him pale with fright, and holding Jiang Yiyan who had fainted with trembling hands. At that moment, he felt how terrible the taste of loss was, after so many days of marriage, he asked himself that he was still a little repulsed by such a marriage, Liu Chan still remained in his heart, lingering. Jiang Yiyan is indeed very good to him, with a wife like this, what else can he ask for, he must cherish it, isn't it?
learned from the doctor that Jiang Yiyan was two months pregnant, and he was as happy as a child, and waited for the doctor to leave before he came back to his senses. The subordinates are going crazy in private, and Lord Lin, who is plain and rigorous, and is invisible, actually laughs, which is really strange. Jiang Yiyan laughed coquettishly, "Husband, that's so empty, the concubine is fine." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, the doctor told you, you must be careful, let the people do these things. You are not allowed to do it again, do you hear? Saying that, Lin Xuan looked at Jiang Yiyan seriously, but she puffed out her cheeks and glared at him without saying a word. Lin Xuan's heart softened, his eyes fell on her lower abdomen, which had not yet bulged, he put down the West Lake beef soup in his hand, pulled Jiang Yiyan down and sat down on his lap, wrapped his big hand around her thin waist, making her tremble, subconsciously pushed Lin Xuan, lowered her head and said shyly: "Husband, it's still daytime, it's not good to be seen!" ”
"Whoever will see it, even if it does, don't dare to talk nonsense, whoever dares to talk nonsense, be careful that I attack them. Okay, lady, you just listen to me, let the people do this little thing, I will get your mind, good. It was not easy to say these words from Lin Xuan's mouth, Jiang Yiyan's heart was sweeter than eating honey. The housekeeper didn't dare to look up, but dared to stand at the door, and said in a bold voice: "Sir, madam, Ping Bohou is in the hall, I want to see my lord." ”
The good moment of the couple was broken, even if this person was a housekeeper, he couldn't help but be said by Lin Xuan, knowing that he didn't want to see Ping Bohou, and invited him in. The housekeeper was also embarrassed, and Ping Bohou beat and scolded him, and even threatened him. Lin Xuan is now the youngest servant of the six ministries, and he can't let Ping Bohou ruin his reputation, so he just waits for him to be respectfully invited into the mansion.
Jiang Yiyan was so frightened that she hurriedly broke free from Lin Xuan's arms, Lin Xuan helped her up unhurriedly, and of course the housekeeper didn't dare to look up at the couple directly. patted the back of Jiang Yiyan's hand with his backhand, signaling her to sit in the house for a while, he went and returned, Jiang Yiyan sent him away with a smile. For Jiang Yiyan, this Lin Xuan is really good to her, and she is still a little confused, as if she is in a dream.
As soon as he saw Lin Xuan walk in, Ping Bohou stood up excitedly and shouted, "Xuan'er." The housekeeper had already consciously quickened the pace of his feet and left, he vaguely guessed that the relationship between Ping Bohou and Lin Xuan was not ordinary, otherwise he would not be so timid in front of Lin Xuan, and he was a different person when he bullied him, of course, his qi Lin Xuan helped him out, and he was very relieved.
Lin Xuan didn't raise his head, and said unhappily: "Why are you here again?" For the arrival of Ping Bohou, Lin Xuan did not have the slightest joy, but instead felt a deep disgust. Ping Bohou licked his lips and said, "Xuan'er, I came to bid you farewell this time, I am leaving the capital for a while, you must take care of yourself." And I heard that your daughter-in-law is pregnant, this is a little bit of my heart, you give it to her for me. ”
As he spoke, he took out the box that had been prepared a long time ago from his sleeve, and the sandalwood box still had a faint fragrance when he took it out. Lin Xuan subconsciously twisted his eyebrows and refused: "Master Hou, no merit will be punished." "Naturally, he can't accept his gifts, for whatever reason. Pingbohou smiled wryly: "Xuan'er, this is a little bit of my heart, okay, I won't bother you, you and your daughter-in-law should be fine." ”
Putting the sandalwood box in his hand on the table, this time he didn't let Lin Xuan open his mouth to drive him away, Ping Bohou turned around and left, Lin Xuan's eyes were full of complicated looks. When he learned that he and Lin Lian were both children of Ping Bohou and Wu, the anger in his heart can be imagined, Lin Zhiping has always cared for him, and he never thought that Lin Zhiping would not be his biological father.
Since Ping Bohou is his biological father, why did the Wu family leave the capital and go to Qingping Village to meet Lin Zhiping. Especially when this matter was mentioned by the first emperor, Lin Xuan suddenly realized that Ping Bohou went to his house from time to time, sometimes just sitting and not talking, and later he realized that Ping Bohou had long known that he was his biological son, so he would be like this.
Lin Xuan has always had a rejective attitude towards him, he can't be sorry for Lin Zhiping, and he can't erase Lin Zhiping's love for him for more than ten years because of Ping Bohou's frequent visits. In his heart, Lin Zhiping is his father, and Ping Bohou is just an insignificant stranger. When he and Jiang Yiyan got married, they sent someone to pick up Lin Zhiping and Wu to the capital, but the husband and wife refused, and brought him a letter, as well as the clothes carefully prepared by Wu for him and Jiang Yiyan, every stitch and thread represented Wu's blessing to them.
In the past, Lin Xuan still wondered why Lin Zhiping and the Wu family insisted on refusing to enter Beijing, I was afraid that they would be afraid of Ping Bohou in the capital. All the suspicions in his chest were answered, Lin Xuan's mood calmed down a lot, and he glanced at the sandalwood box left by Ping Bohou on the table, and he was silent for a long time. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Jiang Yiyan lying on the couch, covered with his clothes, he put his fingers to his mouth and motioned to the maids not to disturb her rest.
The years are quiet, I'm afraid that's it. The future and family can be like this, he has no regrets in this life, and he will have their children in the future. walked lightly to Jiang Yiyan's side, moved a small stool to sit down, and accompanied their mother and daughter while reading a book, he expected the child in Jiang Yiyan's womb to be a daughter, as well-behaved and cute as Yanran. From Yan Ran's body, he could vaguely see Lin Dongxian's figure, so he loved Yan Ran very much.
It's a pity that Yanran doesn't know when she will be able to return to the capital, Jiang Yiyan has made two clothes for her these days, and it is estimated that it is late, I am afraid that it can only be left for their children to wear. Jiang Yiyan opened her eyes in a daze, her neck was a little sore, and she subconsciously reached out to caress it, but she didn't have time to look at Lin Xuan beside her.
Lin Xuan put down the book in his hand, covered Jiang Yiyan's white neck with his gentle big hand, and kneaded it for her, Jiang Yiyan looked at Lin Xuan in surprise, and blurted out: "Husband, you're back, oops, it's getting dark now." I'm sorry, husband, why didn't you wake me up? ”
"Why wake up, sleep when you're sleepy, it's okay, you're not awake, you can accompany me." Just while you were sleeping, I read a book for a while, and now it still hurts? Lin Xuan sat on the couch and let Jiang Yiyan lean on him, massaging him lightly and heavily, Jiang Yiyan lowered her head shyly, and a smile climbed on her face.
Lin Xuan's deep eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and then he handed the sandalwood box to Jiang Yiyan, "What a beautiful box, husband, this is what you gave me?" Other than that, Jiang Yiyan couldn't think of anything else, Lin Xuan bent his finger and flicked her head, and said unhappily: "Didn't I give you a gift, so happy?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yiyan knew that the sandalwood box was not given by Lin Xuan, even if he was sluggish, and hurriedly pulled his sleeve and explained: "Husband, don't be angry, I'm not happy, so who sent this box?" What's inside? The curiosity on her face and the good manners made her resist the urge to open the sandalwood box. Lin Xuan hadn't opened it yet, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Since you're so curious, you open it and take a look, what's inside?" ”
With Lin Xuan's encouragement, Jiang Yiyan opened it and saw that the box contained two gold bracelets, small and exquisite. Jiang Yiyan hadn't received the gift for the child yet, and instantly smiled at Lin Xuan with joy, "This is given to the child by Ping Bohou, you take it for the child." Lin Xuan's voice came from above his head, Jiang Yiyan put down the gold bracelet in his hand, how could Ping Bohou give the child a gift.
There is no intersection between Pingsu Mansion and Pingbohou Mansion, and Pingbohou will go to the yamen to see Lin Xuan a few times, that's all. He didn't want to disturb Lin Xuan's peaceful life, but this time he had to leave the capital, so he would come forward in disregard of etiquette. Lin Xuan didn't say anything, and gently hugged Jiang Yiyan into his arms.
After the next day, Lin Xuan realized that Ping Bohou was not joking, he really wanted to leave the capital, and he actually took Chang Shoufu to envoy Wara to mourn the deceased eldest princess. The civil and military officials above the court were shocked and speechless, Chang Shoufu was highly respected, and he was a veteran of the three dynasties, and the minister of the first emperor's canonization, he sent an envoy to Wara, which was very suitable. I don't know why I chose Pingbohou?
Lin Xuan heard that he was an elder of the cabinet in his early years, but he was later abandoned by the first emperor for various reasons and left the court. Now that he learned the news from the emperor's mouth, Lin Xuan deliberately raised his head and glanced up at Chang Shoufu quietly, and found that his face did not change, and he was calm and comfortable, maybe he already knew. These things are not up to him, but he is very emotional.
Until now, Jiang Yiyan is still muttering that when Ping Bohou goes to the house next time, he must let her come out to meet her to show her gratitude. Lin Xuan just smiled lightly, Ping Bohou didn't know when he would come back next time. However, soon it was privately rumored in the capital that the Queen Mother had left the palace in Weifu and went to Pingbohou's Mansion to have a secret conversation with Pingbohou. After that, the emperor ordered Pingbohou to go to Wara, Zhou Wei was too late to be happy, he was originally very reluctant for Chang Mingsheng to leave.
When he left, there was no one to teach him, and the emperor happily obeyed Qin Su's will and made this holy decree. Lin Xuan sat in the study for a long time, he was regarded as an official promoted by Qin Su, of course, he was secretly promoted. He was quite grateful to Qin Su and the first emperor, and if he hadn't let him stay in the capital back then.
