Chapter XXVIII

When Xiao Shi heard the name of King Kangjun, he immediately thought of the rights of his clan relatives, and looked at Chen Yunyuan expectantly, "Master, can King Kangjun help?" ”

Chen Yunyuan shook his head, "Last year, King Kangjun went to Ci Funing, but I only reported official business, and I had no other contacts. ”

Chen Yunyuan is a decent person and has never been flexible in officialdom, so the relationship with Shangfeng is really ordinary.

"Then ......" Xiao Shi did not give up, "Maybe King Kangjun knows that the old man is incorruptible, even if the imperial history impeaches, he will be framed." ”

Xiao Shi has never worried about Chen Yunyuan's official career, she always feels that her husband is not greedy for money, and secondly, he works hard and complains, and he is a good official who does his duty, "Besides, Funing is inseparable from the master in many things." ”

Chen Yunyuan didn't know whether to be happy because of Xiao's words, or to reprimand Xiao's woman's opinion. Whether it is good or bad, it is a matter of Shangfeng's sentence and twist, who will really find out. Besides, the number of people waiting to be officials is uncountable, and if there is no Zhang butcher, he will eat hairy pigs?

This is the reason why Chen Yunyuan is reluctant to talk about political affairs with the Xiao family.

Chen Yunyuan opened the topic, "Okay, let's go to the old lady's room to eat, don't let everyone wait." ”

Lin Yi could only sigh secretly in her heart, if Xiao had a little political acumen, she would still be able to hear more news from her father, but solid eyes are also Xiao Shi's biggest advantage, and people can't ask for too much.

The old and young of the Chen family gathered in Hehetang, the Tian family never showed up after lunch, Linfang looked very disappointed that she didn't get any benefits in the Huihe County Lord's Mansion, and Mrs. Chen was very happy to see the wilted Linfang, standing aside to fan the flames, and kept talking about Linyi's benefits, so that Linfang's gaze at Linyi changed from resentment to resentment.

After eating a meal, the atmosphere is extremely eerie.

After eating, Mrs. Chen also beat her daughter Linwan, "I have time to learn more from your sixth sister." ”

So much so that Lin Wan looked at Lin Yi with a shy face, "Sixth sister has the guts, I wouldn't dare to change to me." ”

Lin Fang listened to the cold snort next to her, "There are a few people who are as timid as the third sister." ”

Mrs. Chen laughed when she heard this, "You all go out often and naturally have insight, next time you will definitely bring Linwan with you, so that she can also have a long face." ”

Mrs. Chen's words were harsh, and even the second old lady Dong frowned this time, but she had nothing to say, after all, it was Lin Fang who suffered a loss this time. Next time, it may not be a bad thing to bring more Linwan. Although Lin Wan looks ordinary and does not know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is her granddaughter after all. In the past, Lin Fang couldn't show Lin Wan, but now that Lin Yi is here, there is always more certainty that multiple people are contained.

The second old lady Dong nodded, "Next time, let Lin Wan follow." ”

In this way, it is Mrs. Chen who finally achieves the goal. Mrs. Chen smiled so much that her eyes were bent into a line.

Lin Wan was a little surprised, and nervously put her toes together.

Lin Wan does look a little mediocre, her skin is not fair, her chin follows the squareness of Master Chen, she is thinner than Huanghua but she is not as delicate as Linfang, although the choice of daughter-in-law by large families depends on the virtue of her daughter, but standing out in the crowd is also the key. Especially compared with Linfang...... Mrs. Chen suffered a lot of losses because of this, and now she finally has a chance to get back a set.

After talking for a while, everyone was going to go back, but Xiao Shi listened to Lin Yi's words that she wanted to go out to buy balm, and asked the second old lady Dong for a carriage, preparing to go out after breakfast tomorrow.

After speaking, Lin Yi and Brother Heng went to Xiao's room first, and Xiao asked the maid to wash the fruit and come up. Xiao was afraid that Lin Yi would be frightened by the fire, so he asked people to clean up the side room and leave Lin Yi to stay in the house for one night, Lin Yi hurriedly said: "I'm fine, fortunately, I found it early." ”

Xiao Shi asked Lin Yi several times before he was relieved, and seeing a pair of children talking beside him, Xiao Shi picked up the needle and thread in the basket.

"Mother," Lin Yi raised her head, "In a big family like our Chen family, how many uncles and uncles do my brother and I have?" ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Shi thought about it and hesitated, "There are not many direct relatives in our family, and now there are only a few rooms in Beijing, and there are side branches that are divided, but in this way, Lin Lin finally counts, there are probably more than a dozen of them." ”

Lin Yi said: "The generations are all different from each other? In addition to my uncle who passed away in the long house, there are only two uncles in our family now. ”

Xiao Shi lit the lamp and began to look at the patterns, "What we call on weekdays is just a small rank, strictly speaking, there are also big ranks in the clan, that's a long name, don't say that even you can't remember it." ”

In this way, the nineteenth uncle called by Miss Zheng Qi is the big one in the Zheng clan.

There are many officials in the Zheng family in the court, and now that the exam is over, it is not surprising to know his father's name, but he happened to help.

Xiao Shi said: "Why did you suddenly ask about this." ”

Lin Yi said with a smile: "When I went to the Zheng family, I heard that there are many clansmen in the Zheng family, and our Chen family is also a big clan, so I think it should not be less." ”

As he was talking, Chen Yunyuan came back from the study, and Xiao immediately threw Lin Yi's question to Chen Yunyuan, and Chen Yunyuan sat down and told Brother Heng and Lin Yi a lot of family history, so that Lin Yi knew that the Chen family had a longer history than the Zheng family. After speaking, the hour was not early, and Xiao asked Brother Heng and Lin Yi to send back to rest.

Lin Yi returned to the room and immediately called Linglong, "How is it?" What did you find out at the Zheng family? ”

Linglong shook her head, "I heard the mother-in-law in the courtyard say that because the county lord wants to entertain foreign guests, there are not many people from the Zheng family, and even if they come, they are just grandmothers in the family who help the county host the banquet." ”

That's all she can hear, and the rest is up to her to think.

Uncle Nineteen only told her about Furong Pavilion, and mentioned whether she was familiar with the family members of Funing officials, which means that if she went to Furong Pavilion, she should meet Funing's acquaintances.

What is the connection between Funing's acquaintance and his father's case?

Since the imperial history wants to impeach his father, the imperial court is bound to go to Funing to find out, so will the people from Funing be because of this matter.

After thinking about it, there is no other good way to do it, but to go to the Hibiscus Pavilion with my mother tomorrow to see what the situation is over there.

Just, when is the right time to go?

You can't go from house to house and ask about it.

Lin Yi looked at Orange Hong, "Does anyone who often go out to buy the mother-in-law we brought?" ”

Tang Hong said: "Now it's all with the family's expenses, even if you buy some other things, it's also the third wife's explanation." ”

It's not every day that you go out to buy something.

Lin Yi thought about it carefully, when she was in Funing, she went out to be a guest, in addition to bringing her mother around her, Xiao would also bring Dai Pozi who was in the car, she had seen a lot of family members, and Dai Pozi had seen even more people.

Lin Yi's heart moved, and she instructed Orange Hong, "You take two taels of silver and go to Dai Pozi, and say that I will go to the Furong Pavilion to buy perfume tomorrow, and let her wait in front of the Furong Pavilion as soon as the door of her mansion opens." ”

"This ...... If Mrs. Dai asked, why did she go so early...... What should the slave say? ”

If she doesn't give a reason, Mrs. Dai won't listen to her past.

"Let's just say that I've heard people talk about it, someone in Furong Pavilion will send a few boxes of high-quality products every day, but no matter what time it is, let Dai Pozi go over and stare at it, if it's really like what people say, just ask the price, and you can buy it within ten taels of silver, so I can give it to my mother."

As long as Mrs. Dai takes on an errand, she will always find an excuse to go out of the house, and it is not a big deal to go out of the house with the mother-in-law in the car.

"Let her rest assured, tomorrow when my mother asks, I will talk about it."

Orange Hong smiled: "Miss gave two taels of silver to break her belly, in my opinion, one or two is enough for such a small errand." ”

It's better to save money.

Lin Yi said: "Then give her eleven taels, buy it back if you have a good balm, and let her keep one tael if you don't." ”

Orange took out the key from her waist, "The inner courtyard has not yet been bolted, and the slave and maid will go over immediately." ”

After a while, Kung Fu Orange came back and said, "Mrs. Dai happily took it, and said that she would guard it early tomorrow." It's just the same, tomorrow the third wife asked if it was not her who was following the car, and asked the young lady to help talk about it. ”

Lin Yi nodded, put down the book in her hand and rested. Dai Pozi is a discerning person, if there is something unusual, she should be able to find out, if it doesn't work once, she can only let Dai Pozi go to guard it twice.

After breakfast the next day, Xiao took Lin Yi out, although the hour was still early, the street was full of noise, all kinds of shouting sounds, Lin Yi felt curious, but also evoked many good memories of Xiao Shi, Xiao listened while telling Lin Yi about the snacks and famous products of the capital, this way time passed quickly, and the carriage quickly stopped in front of the Furong Pavilion.

Before Xiao Shi got out of the car, Dai Pozi, who had been guarding the door of Furong Pavilion for a long time, came forward.
