Chapter XVI Interests

Lin Yi listened to Orange Hong and said carefully, "After the county lord Huihe married into the Zheng family, I heard that our second wife was a layman at home, so I asked the second wife to come over and talk about the scriptures, and I liked it." ”

Lin Yi also remembered that Tian was very famous, especially the cinnabar mole on her forehead, everyone said that she was born with a statue of Guanyin, and Tian couldn't eat meat since she was a child, and even the master in the temple said that Tian had a compassionate heart.

As a layman, preaching around is originally a kind of practice, and the women in the mansion are more or less troubled by not being able to communicate to outsiders, even if they are as valuable as the lord of Huihe County, everyone will naturally like the female dependents who understand the scriptures like the second wife Tian.

What's more, the second wife is as kind as Tian and Guanyin. Lin Yi smiled slightly when she thought of this. No wonder Linfang is dressed much better than all the ladies in the family.

It's just the word layman, Tian really doesn't deserve it, let alone Guanyin, if Tian really has a compassionate heart, he won't let Linfang lead her to Fangfeiyuan to see Aunt Liu, who wants to have a miscarriage, but directly come forward to save Aunt Liu's mother and son.

"I've been paying attention to the second wife's side these days, and I'll tell me no matter what news I have." Lin Yi whispered to Orange Red.

The old lady of the long room had already reminded her to pay attention to the second wife, Tian, and prepare one or two decent gifts for every occasion, and she would have to work this in the next few days.

Lin Yi had just finished speaking, and Bai Shao entered the house and saluted Lin Yi, "The second master is okay over there, and the slave will return to the old lady, so that the old lady can rest assured." ”

Bai Shao followed the old lady in the long room all the year round, although her dress was simpler than that of the big girl in the second room, the whole person had a little more sparse complexion, and she was also comfortable talking to such a girl.

Bai Shao smiled and said: "There is one more thing to trouble Miss Six, the old lady said that the tassel embroidery of the Lin family still needs to be repaired, so let Sister Tingzhu come over often." ”

Lin Yi pulled Bai Shao over to sit, "My sister went back and told my aunt that I would go over to say hello to my grandmother when I had time." ”

Lin Yi's smile made Bai Shao relax.

Everyone laughed and talked.

……

Chen Yunyuan laughed when he heard Xiao Shi say that his son was making trouble and wanted to learn riding, "This kid has finally opened his mind." ”

Xiao Shi frowned when he heard this, "The master is still indulging him?" This just fell off the horse, how can there be any more trouble. ”

Chen Yunyuan disagreed, "Which man in the Great Zhou Dynasty can't ride a horse, so you don't have to do anything if you say anything, you are a woman and don't know how to do big things." ”

Xiao Shi listened to her husband's reprimand, and her eyes turned red, "I don't understand big things." I just know that my sister entrusted my lord and Brother Heng to me, and if I can't take care of it, I won't have the face to see my sister in the future. ”

Speaking of his deceased wife, and thinking about the Xiao family's hard work over the years, Chen Yunyuan sighed and sat down and took Xiao into his arms, "Okay, I know your thoughts, Lin Yi is just that, in the future, she will find a good family to marry, Brother Heng is a man, and he must have a good future in the future, otherwise how to take care of this family." ”

Xiao Shi heard that Chen Yunyuan's voice was a little obscure, and when he raised his head, he saw Chen Yunyuan's frowning brows, "What's wrong with the master?" Is it that this year's exam is not going well? ”

"It's not a matter of passing the exam." Chen Yunyuan never wanted to mention official matters to his wife and children.

"The master doesn't have to hide his concubine," Xiao straightened up, "The master was worried about it before he entered Beijing, and it has become more and more serious in the past few days, isn't it because of official business?" Why did the master refuse to tell the truth to the concubine at this time. ”

Chen Yunyuan stood up and paced in the room with his hands behind his back, "I have offended a lot of people in Fujian over the years, and those people have already defected to Chengguogong, and last year Chengguogong fought against the Japanese, and he was favored before the saint......"

Xiao Shi's heart tightened, "What the master means is that Cheng Guogong wants to deal with the master." ”

Chen Yunyuan smiled slightly, "I can't deal with it, I'm just a small official, as long as Cheng Guogong stretches out his hand, it's as simple as crushing an ant." After a pause, "Over the years, I have impeached Cheng Guogong, but Cheng Guogong is a third-generation father, and when the emperor ascends the throne, he was an auxiliary minister, how can I be a small person." ”

Xiao Shi was gloomy, "Since the husband has known for a long time, why is there such a need." ”

Chen Yunyuan shook his head and said in a low voice: "What if I'm not like this?" Is it possible to join them? Seeing them take a salary? bribing robbers to pretend to be ......"

The first time Xiao heard Chen Yunyuan say this, he couldn't help but be surprised, and looked left and right in a panic to make sure that no one heard.

Fujian has to be robbed by the Japanese every year, hearing that there is a movement outside, she and her two children are still very panicked, not to mention the people who are slaughtered outside, every time she hears that the imperial court has increased the army in Fujian, she is happy from the heart, but she didn't expect the truth to be like this......

Having said this, Chen Yunyuan simply told the truth, "This time I took you back to Beijing not only because of the old lady's birthday, but also because I am afraid that you will have no one to take care of you in Fujian." At least your mother's family is in Beijing, if anything happens to me, the Chen family and your mother's family can't watch you alone. ”

Hearing this ominous words, Xiao Shi couldn't hold back his tears anymore, "What are these words, husband, now that Brother Heng and Lin Yi are still young, husband can't help but think about us, it's a big deal that husband resigns and goes home." ”

Resigning, how can it be so easy.

Seeing that the Xiao family was nervous, Chen Yunyuan said again: "This is just the worst plan, and now I am not the only one who opposes Chengguogong, the Lin family you said before was killed by Chengguogong when he was a high ancestor, the Lin family has been recuperating all these years, and now although there are motivated juniors, if they want to return to the imperial court, they still have to deal with Chengguo Gong......"

When Chen Yunyuan said this, Xiao Shi exclaimed, "No wonder Mrs. Lin asked someone to send a gift over today, and invited me to Lin's house as a guest." Saying that, Xiao took the gifts and posts sent by the Lin family to Chen Yunyuan to see.

What the Lin family sent was two carved bamboo jasper hollow inlaid gold hairpins and a pair of dripping Guanyin tourmaline earrings.

"Although Mrs. Lin and I used to be together when we were young, this gift is also a bit heavy."

Looking at these two gifts, Chen Yunyuan laughed, "It's a good thing that the Lin family can do this. "The Lin family is no longer what it used to be, but it still has a deep foundation and has a certain reputation among scholars.

"I mean ...... master"

Chen Yunyuan said: "It's also good to take Lin Yi out and walk around." ”

Xiao Shi felt a burst of joy in his heart, "If the Lin family says anything, I can tell the master." ”

After marrying him for so many years, the Xiao family is still as simple as ever, who will talk about such a big thing, especially before they can't be sure that a consensus is reached, the Lin family will not reveal half a sentence.

Chen Yunyuan looked at the branches stretched out of the window and frowned again.

……

The next day, Lin Yi went to the second old lady Dong's house to say goodbye, and when Lin Yi entered the house, she heard Lin Fang happily talking about going to the Huihe County Lord's Mansion as a guest.

The second old lady, Dong, asked Lin Yi to sit next to her and asked Lin Fang cordially, "Have you prepared a gift?" ”

Lin Fang pursed her lips and smiled, "I want to paint a portrait of Guanyin with my own hands." ”

In recent years, Linfang's paintings have become more and more presentable, and there is a second wife, Tian, who must not make mistakes.

The second old lady nodded again and again, "Okay, such a gift is thoughtful." ”

Lin Fang looked at Lin Yi with a smile, "It's not surprising that you can spend money on gifts, sixth sister, do you say yes or no?" ”

"Yes," Lin Yi matched Lin Fang's emotions.

Lin Fang was really more cheerful, tired of the second old lady Dong's lap, "It's just that I don't have the right clothes and head." ”

The second old lady, Dong, couldn't help laughing, "Look, look, this is a change of law to ask me for something." ”

Lin Fang is serious, "The granddaughter is afraid of losing her grandmother's face, and those who can go to the Huihe County Lord's Mansion are all famous ladies, how dare the granddaughter slack off." ”

The second old lady stretched out her hand and tapped on Lin Fang's white forehead, "What a sharp mouth." ”

Lin Fang covered her forehead and smiled at Lin Yi, "Sixth sister, you see how stingy grandmother is, the old man should be our treasure bag." ”

Lin Yi also laughed.

……

On the way back to the room, there was no one around, and Linglong couldn't help but whisper: "It's just that I'm going to the county lord's mansion as a guest, and the fourth lady will make a fuss." ”

can be the guest of the county lord, Lin Fang naturally has to show off.

It's not a place that everyone can go.

The second wife, Tian, chanted the scriptures, and the fourth lady Lin Fang painted Guanyin, which was a good fate for the mother and daughter.

Lin Yi said in a low voice: "After a while, I will still find a way to ask about the county lord of Huihe." ”

Linglong said: "If someone asks, the slave maid said that she heard that the fourth lady was going to the Huihe County Lord's Mansion as a guest, and the slave maid felt curious. ”

Lin Yi nodded slightly, just to take advantage of the news that Lin Fang was going to be a guest at the Huihe County Lord's Mansion to inquire about it, so it was natural to talk about the Huihe County Lord.

Lin Yi walked to the green bamboo forest and was about to pass through the Moon Gate, when Mother Tan, who was beside the third wife, Xiao, greeted her with a smile, "Miss Six, Mrs. Please come over." ”
