Early the next morning, the female doctor Ma went out.

Princess Li went to Lingxiao Courtyard surrounded by a group of cronies.

The two first-class maids of Lingxiao Courtyard, Shui Lian Shui and the two third-class maids Vanilla Xiuyun, hurriedly came out to greet them.

Although Vanilla and Xiuyun have been in the county palace for a short time, they have never seen Princess Li, and after they got up, they quietly glanced at it, and found that Princess Li had a complicated bun and wore a complete set of red gold and rubies on her head.

Princess Li is slender, medium in size, wearing a red cardigan summer shirt and a moon-white pleated skirt, which looks more and more graceful, and a pair of watery big eyes on her pink and jade melon seed face are looking forward to it.

Vanilla and Xiuyun glanced at it, and were photographed by Princess Li's appearance, so they didn't dare to look at it anymore, and hurriedly lowered their heads.

Princess Li held the hand of her personal maid Sydney, looked at the water wattle and water lotus who got up after the salute, and said lightly: "The second son is coming back soon, I'll go and see how his house is cleaned up!"

Shui Lian and Shui Jing replied softly "yes" and led everyone into Lingxiao Courtyard.

Princess Li brought too many people, so only a few of her closest housekeepers, daughters-in-law and maids, followed them into the main room of Lingxiao Courtyard.

Standing in the bright room of the main room for a while, Princess Li glanced at the furniture in the room, and ordered loudly: "Astragalus daughter-in-law, the furniture in the second son's room is too old, let's replace it!"

The little daughter-in-law, with a round face and a short figure, came out and replied "yes".

Seeing that Princess Li was about to enter the dark bedroom in the east, Shui Jing hurriedly lifted the curtain and respectfully invited Princess Li in.

Princess Li took the hand of her personal maid Sydney into the east dark room, took a cursory look, and saw that it was very simple, so she ordered: "Daughter-in-law Damai, the furnishings in the second son's bedroom are a little old, so let's change them!"

A very rich little daughter-in-law replied "yes".

Out of the main room, Princess Li raised her eyes and lazily swept over the four people who were standing respectfully under the corridor, Shui Li, Shui Lian, Vanilla and Xiuyun, sneered, and said, "Are these four the maids who serve the second son?"

Mother Su, the housekeeper of the Qingxi Hall where Princess Li lived, hurriedly replied "yes".

Princess Li sneered and said, "No wonder the second son can't look down on it, it's just some vulgar powder!"

Hearing this, the faces of the water wattle, the water lotus, the vanilla and Xiuyun suddenly turned red, especially Xiuyun, whose face was particularly thin, and tears were rolling in his eyes.

For these low-status people, Princess Li has always been indifferent, she lightly instructed Su's mother: "Wait a while, you go and pick a few more well-born ones and put them in the second son's house, so that the second son's eyes will see some idle flowers and weeds, and his heart is not in the palace!"

Su's mother Lang Lang Lili replied "yes" and said, "Please rest assured, the princess, the slave and maid will start handling it when they go back!"

After walking around, Princess Li did enough tricks, and then returned to the main house of the inner courtyard of the palace, Hongxi Courtyard.

After sitting down on the red sandalwood carved arhat bed in the bright room of Hongxi Courtyard, Princess Li cleaned her hands with fragrant pancreas and carefully applied the balm of skin care under the service of several maids and concubines with glamorous makeup, and then asked Mother Su: "Are you ready?"

Mother Su said in a low voice: "The furniture and pillows and other things are ready, they are all the dowry of the former princess, and now they are in your private vault!" As for the two girls, they have been prepared in advance, and they are guaranteed to be innocent daughters! ”

Princess Li glanced at the small red sandalwood kang table next to her, and saw that there was a crystal plate of grapes on it, so she slowly peeled one of them.

After peeling a grain of grapes to be moist and clean, she put the grapes aside again, and raised her eyes to look at Mother Su: "Is the female doctor Ma back?"

Mother Su hurriedly said: "Princess, the female doctor Ma hasn't come back yet!"

Princess Li said lazily: "When she comes back, bring her to see me."

Doctor Ma didn't know if she could get that kind of medicine......

Su's mother hurriedly agreed.

Lin Jia and his entourage rested at the post station until the evening of the next day, until nightfall, and then rushed to the house that A-Qing had rented in advance.

This house is in Qinglongguan near the Yamen of Zhizhou, Qingzhou, and it is a three-entry house.

Ah Qing led everyone into the gate of the house, and then entered the second gate, although the sky was not dark, but the two little maids still carried lanterns to light the way for everyone.

The first courtyard is the courtyard of the outer study, which is the largest in area, and it is the place where Lin Jia meets people, and Dr. Liu and the little servants also live in this courtyard.

The second courtyard is Lin Jia's residence, because there are many plane trees, the name is Wusheng Courtyard, Lin Jia lives in three main houses; Yu Yu waited for Lin Jia, and lived in the east room.

The third courtyard is called Qingzhuyuan because there is a small bamboo forest, and Xu Erniang's mother and daughter live in it first.

That night, everyone moved into their rooms.

rested in the house for another two days, and it was not until the evening of the third day that Lin Jia took Yu Yu and Ah Qing, Ah Lan, Ah Cheng and Ah Chi back to the Xingping County Palace.

Wang Lintao of Xingping County is admiring a few new calligraphy and paintings in the outer study.

He has always been quite fond of vassal elegance, self-proclaimed calligraphy and painting masters, collected a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings, if collecting beauties is his first hobby, then collecting antique calligraphy and painting can be called his second hobby.

Just when Lin Tao was indulging in the art world and was figuring out how much these calligraphy and paintings were worth, the little guy came in and reported: "Lord Wang, the second son is back!"

Lin Tao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said, "Where is Ajia?"

The little servant hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, the second son is waiting outside!"

Lin Tao's eyes lit up: "Let him come in!"

Before the little guy went out, he hurriedly said, "That's it, I'll pick him up myself!"

At this time, it was already dark, and there were six Gongbi flower and bird palace lamps hanging under the corridor of Lin Tao's study, and the snow-white gardenias in the flower pond in front of the corridor were in full bloom, and the faint fragrance of flowers filled the entire courtyard.

Lin Jia stood under the corridor wearing a white spring robe with a jade belt around her waist and her hands, and raised her eyes to look at a palace lamp painted with Chunlan in front of her.

The dim halo of lanterns shone on his handsome face, and it became more and more windy.

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Lin Jia turned around and looked over, and saw his father striding out, so he stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen my father!"

Lin Tao, the king of Xingping County, is only thirty-three years old this year, and he is tender and handsome, so he looks more like Lin Jia's brother.

He was wearing a home-style royal blue thin silk summer robe today, with a black satin belt around his waist, and he looked handsome and chic.

Lin Tao stood in front of Lin Jia, looking at Lin Jia, who he hadn't seen for more than half a year, with mixed feelings - he hadn't seen him for half a year, Ah Jia seemed to have grown taller, and his complexion was much better than before, looking like a young man!

Looking at his beloved eldest son, Lin Tao's nose was sore, and he almost burst into tears, so he hurriedly helped Lin Jia up, and said, "It's good to come back!"

Lin Jia gently broke free of his father's hand, turned his head to look at Ah Cheng and Ah Chi who were following behind, and ordered lightly: "Send the gift to the prince!"

Ah Cheng and Ah Chi came over with a big sandalwood box.

Lin Tao didn't expect Lin Jia to remember to bring a gift to himself, he was very excited at the moment, and ordered repeatedly: "Carry it to the study!"

Ma Dan, he obviously thinks that Ajia is still a child who loves to be angry, but this child actually knows how to bring gifts to his father, and he wants to cry!

Ah Cheng and Ah Chi carried the sandalwood box into the outer study, silently opened the lock of the sandalwood box, and opened the lid of the box, and then bowed and retreated.

Lin Jia also gave herself this gift for the first time, and she was also a little uncomfortable, but she deliberately pretended to be calm and said: "It's just some calligraphy and painting, don't dislike it!"

Lin Tao said in his heart: Son, as long as you know how to give your father a gift, you are giving your father a piece of, and your father will be happy!

He walked to the box in a relaxed mood, crouched down on one knee and looked at it, and found that the box was full of various scrolls.

Lin Tao was so excited that he picked up a scroll and opened it, and as soon as he glanced at it, his eyes widened, his heartbeat was faster, and he said softly: "Ajia, is this the authentic work of Xie Qianli's "Winter Snow Mountains and Rivers" in the Tang Dynasty?"

Lin Jia saw that his father was still knowledgeable, and he was satisfied, but his face was still faint: "About!"

Lin Tao looked at Lin Jia with a happy face, and his hands trembled a little.

He took out another scroll, slowly unfolded it, and found that it was the "Jin Ming Chunxiao Picture" by Yao Yingge, a master of the Song Dynasty.

After getting these gifts from his son, Lin Tao was simply in tears, and specially took a white handkerchief, wiped his tears, and said: "Ajia, Daddy is so moved!" I was so impressed! ”

Lin Jia squinted at his father, feeling that it was obviously a normal thing, but let him, a father who loves vassal elegance, do it, no matter how fleshy he looks.

Seeing that his father was exaggeratedly wiping his tears with a handkerchief, Lin Jia finally couldn't stand it anymore, snatched the silk handkerchief in Lin Tao's hand, held his father's face with his left hand, and wiped the silk handkerchief with his right hand twice at the corners of his father's left eye and right eye, wiping Lin Tao's tears clean.

Who knew that Lin Tao was even more moved: "Ajia, you are so filial, and your father has prepared a gift for you!"

Lin Jia was silent for a moment and looked at Lin Tao seriously: "Daddy, is it a silver ticket?"

He has so much to do, and the most lacking thing is a silver ticket.

Lin Tao: "......"

How could he be such an elegant person, how could he directly give his son a silver ticket as a gift?

Lin Jia knew his father's virtue, and immediately said with a disappointed face: "Daddy, isn't it a silver ticket?"

Where can Lin Tao bear to disappoint the eldest son who has just reunited?

He immediately walked to the back of the Huanghuali wood bookcase, opened the small drawer, took out a small box and handed it to Lin Jia: "This is the bonus that Daddy just received from January to March, and I will give it to you!"

Alas, the ruby head of Shuiping, the red gold phoenix hairpin, the beeswax necklace of the little fragrance, and the Shu brocade of Yingying...... It's all gone!

Lin Jia took the box, opened it, and saw that there was a thick stack of silver tickets inside, and she was immediately in a happy mood, and looked at Lin Tao with a smile in her long eyes: "Thank you, Daddy!"

The gift he gave to his father was actually the stolen goods that Gui Ruyu gave him after the end of this extermination and salvation operation, and he himself accepted it in order to be with the light, but he didn't like it very much, and now he gave it to his father, in exchange for his father's silver ticket, which was a good deal.

Anyway, if Daddy's silver ticket doesn't come in time, it will become a hairpin hairpin worn by Daddy's many concubines, a bracelet on his wrist, and a silk cloth wrapped around his body.

Lin Tao was originally a little distressed, but looking at the sincere thanks in his son's eyes, his mood suddenly improved, and he comforted himself in his heart: What is the difference between giving the silver to Ajia and keeping his own flowers?

Anyway, even if you stay, you will either spend it on women, or in a few days, you will be blackmailed away by Ajia!

After figuring it out, Lin Tao's mood suddenly rose, and he immediately said, "Ajia, I'll accompany you to say hello to your mother!"

Lin Jia said lightly: "Princess Li is not my mother. My mother's surname was Jiang and she has passed away. ”

Lin Tao: "......"

Lin Jia said again: "Father, it's too dark, you can accompany me back to Lingxiao Courtyard to have a look, and then accompany me to say hello to Princess Li!"

Lin Tao: "...... All right! ”
