Lin Yi, Xiao Xiao and Tian returned to the old lady's Nian Ci Hall in the long room, and Lin Fang and Lin Zhengqing just entered the door to greet the old lady in the long room.

The old lady of the long room smiled and asked Lin Fang and Lin Zhengqing to sit down.

Tian sat next to his daughter, and Lin Yi and Xiao Xiao stood beside the old lady in the long room on the left and right.

The old lady of the long room looked at Lin Fang and said, "How is the wife of the in-laws?" Are you okay? ”

Lin Fang glanced at Lin Zhengqing quickly.

Lin Zhengqing said: "Mother is fine, let me ask the old lady An." ”

The old lady of the long room bowed her head, "It's been a long time since I saw my in-laws." ”

Tian took Lin Fang's hand, and then looked at Lin Yi, "Will the prince of the county come over tonight?" ”

Since Zhou Shijiu became a counselor, he rarely went home on time for dinner, Lin Yi said with a smile: "The prince of the county shouldn't be able to come over, and we can have a banquet when my father comes back." ”

Lin Zhengqing picked up a cup of tea to drink, his smile was light, and the pale cyan tea soup shone on his bright eyes.

Everyone sat together and talked, and Lin Yi and Xiao Shi went to the flower hall to set up the chopsticks.

After instructing the big kitchen to prepare food, Xiao Xiao's mood was a little low.

"What's wrong with Mother?" Lin Yi took the initiative to ask.

Xiao Xiao didn't know what to say, his lips closed one by one, and finally he didn't speak.

The maid began to set the dishes.

The old lady in the long room didn't want to eat in the inner room, so she asked Lin Yi and Mother Bai to sit in the flower hall with their support.

Mother Bai smiled and said, "The old lady has come out for the first time since she was sick." ”

The old lady of the long room sat on the soft seat, looking at Lin Yi beside her, looking like a rich idler, squinting her eyes and nodding. "It's much easier to eat out like this than to have an appetite in the house."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Then you can eat more." The princess made a lot of her mother's favorite dishes. ”

Everyone sat down as he spoke.

Chen Yunyuan and Chen Yunzhou symbolically said something about the court, so that the women and children at the table could open their eyes, Lin Zhengqing and Chen Linheng talked about their studies and the old-fashioned doctor of the college, and Xiao Xiao and Tian were busy talking about the fresh mushrooms on the table, this dish was learned by Lin Yi and the cook of Kangjun Wangfu, Tian's vegetarian was very interested, and he was ready to ask Lin Yi to teach her how to do it after dinner.

In fact, the woman who often presides over the middle feed, as long as she has tasted a dish, she will probably know how to make it.

In the face of Tian's kind conversation, Lin Yi also responded slowly and methodically.

The atmosphere was congenial.

The lady tasted the osmanthus brew of the Marquis of Guangping. Soon the feast will be over, and the old lady in the long room will not be able to sit for a long time. Lin Yi and Xiao Xiao helped the old lady in the long room to rest first.

Seeing the old lady in the long room close her eyes and recuperate, Lin Yi sat in the small pavilion outside to breathe.

Lin Yi sat down, and Tong Ning came to the Guangping Marquis Mansion to tell Lin Yi, "The prince of the county said that he would come to pick up the princess of the county in a while." ”

Xiao Shi happened to come over and couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, "I'll tell the kitchen to prepare some food." "You can't take leftovers for the prince of the county to eat.

"I'll go," Lin Yi said with a smile, "Mother will rest." ”

"Then what's going on," Xiao told the little maid to fetch the tea set. "It's not easy to come back. I still can't cook for you. ”

Xiao Xiao took people to the kitchen, and Lin Yi poured tea with her own hands.

Orange opened the tea can next to her and said with a smile: "There are peach blossoms that have been kilnd." ”

Xiao Shi always remembered her preferences.

When the sky darkened, Orange Hong gave Lin Yi the clothes to wear. Lanterns were lit up in the pavilion, and the night air was a little cool, but it was rare to be clear.

The hour was almost up, and Lin Yi got up and prepared to go to the flower hall.

"It turns out that the princess of the county is here." Lin Fang walked over with a smile, followed by Lin Zhengqing.

Lin Fang and his wife were the last thing she wanted to see, and Lin Yi was about to find an excuse to leave, Lin Fang said first: "I heard that the prince of the county will come over in a while." ”

Lin Yi smiled: "It's almost there." ”

"That's just right," Lin Fang's smile was a little fake, "I haven't spoken to the princess for a long time, so let's sit for a while while the princess hasn't come yet." ”

Now that the words are here, Lin Yi also wants to know what Lin Fang and Lin Zhengqing want to say, so she turned her head and ordered the maid to serve tea.

Holding the warm tea in her hand, Lin Fang went to see Lin Zhengqing again.

Lin Zhengqing's expression was gentle, but there was an imperceptible alienation and indifference in his eyes. Lin Yi always felt strange that in just a few minutes on the wedding night, she actually knew Lin Zhengqing like this.

Lin Fang took a sip of tea, and having Lin Zhengqing by her side made her eyebrows fly, "It's really relieving that the in-laws can be okay, I heard that the prince of the county and the in-laws have different views, and the family is worried about ......"

It's not so much worrying as waiting to see the joke.

Lin Yi smiled slightly and was about to raise her head to speak, but found a glance at her.

It's Lin Zhengqing.

There was a strong curiosity and scrutiny in that gaze, which made Lin Yi not difficult to think of what Lin Zhengqing said to her before - did you marry him to take revenge or did you forget the past? Wise people know that they must not repeat the mistakes of the past.

A smile of agreement appeared on the corner of Lin Zhengqing's mouth, as if responding to her speculation.

Lin Yi smiled slightly, and spoke softly to her sisters, "How is the political matter, as a family member, we don't know at all, is it the fourth sister?" ”

Shut her mouth all at once. Lin Fang looked at Lin Yi's slightly upturned lips, not knowing what to say.

Lin Zhengqing drank the tea in his hand, and then put it on the stone table, "Don't mention political affairs, from now on, the in-laws will thank the princess of the county." It would be great if the in-laws could serve in Beijing. ”

Lin Zhengqing is saying that she saved her in-laws, and her in-laws will repay her in the future. Shooting at critical moments can be exchanged for the greatest benefits.

Orange Red came over at this time and said, "The prince of the county is here." ”

Lin Yi went to greet Zhou Nineteen and left Lin Zhengqing and Lin Fang in the pavilion.

Next to the corridor, there are large pieces of golden cinnamon and silver cinnamon, which are gorgeous under the shadow of the lamp, and Lin Yi smells the fragrance of osmanthus and takes the maid all the way forward.

There was the sound of footsteps behind him.

It was Lin Zhengqing and Lin Fang who followed.

Lin Zhengqing said: "Although the osmanthus flowers in the Marquis of Guangping Mansion bloom well, there is no fragrance of osmanthus in the backyard of the house," said and paused, "The fruit of the osmanthus tree has the effect of dissolving phlegm, generating Jin, calming the liver and warming the stomach." ”

Lin Fang was surprised when she heard this, "Uncle still understands pharmacology?" ”

Lin Zhengqing seemed to have expected Dao Linfang to ask this, "I never read medical books...... Speaking of which. I have forgotten who this is from. ”

These words should have nothing to do with Lin Yi, but they made Lin Yi think about it more. Lin Zhengqing since the last time. People have become stranger than before, and this meeting is also meaningful. Whether it is talking about her relationship with Mr. Yuqiu, or alluding to Zhou Shijiu's benefits from her in-laws, it seems to be deliberately reminding her of one thing.

……

Lin Yi picked up Zhou Shijiu in the courtyard, and the two of them went to the old lady's room in the long house first.

After Zhou Shijiu had eaten, he asked Chen Yunyuan to go to the study to talk, and Lin Yi told Xiao Xiao about the Zheng family.

Xiao Xiao was surprised and didn't say anything for a while.

"What does Mother think?"

Xiao Xiao obviously didn't have a strong intention to agree with this family business, "Suddenly said this...... I don't know what your father means, or ...... Think about it. "Slurred. It's the same as when Fang Cai was swinging.

Lin Yi wanted to ask again, but Xiao Xiao stood up. "It's getting late, and I tell the porter to prepare the car."

What the hell is it to hide like this?

……

Back to Kangjun Palace, Lin Yi's mind was chaotic along the way, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

After entering the house and freshening up, Lin Yi picked up the tea on the table and drank it, almost knocking off the tea lid.

"What are you thinking?" Zhou Shijiu looked at Lin Yi with a smile and stretched out his finger to the chess cage next to him.

It's okay left and right, and now I don't feel sleepy. Lin Yi walked over and played chess with Zhou Shijiu.

"Lord Huihe gave me a golden hairpin." Needless to say. Zhou Nineteen could understand what she meant.

Zhou 19 sat cross-legged on the kang, the white robe on his body was like the moonlight shining outside the window, "Marriage Fengzhu should go to Fujian to serve when he comes back from the sea." ”

Suddenly mentioned the in-laws.

Lin Yi listened quietly.

This is what Ma Fengzhu himself meant. You have to really do something for the people. ”

Lin Yi raised her head, "The court agreed to open the sea ban?" "Otherwise, where is the marriage Fengzhu going is not good, why do you want to go to Fujian? The in-laws ask for the lives of the people, for the people who make a living by fishing by the sea, and if they fail to ask for their lives, they will inevitably feel guilty and will try their best to make up for it.

There was no need to tell her too clearly, Zhou Shijiu continued: "The household officials reported that the price of rice in Fujian was high this year, and the emperor ordered Jiangxi to transport rice to Fujian. The emperor said that Fujian's rice today is all due to last year's floods, and this year's rice will be delayed. In addition, Fujian is located on the seashore, there are many people and few fields, and there is a shortage of rice in the future, so you can borrow money and grain from neighboring provinces, and in case of disaster and famine, you can release it in time, and then report to the imperial court. ”

In this way, they are fully prepared for the opening of the sea ban, and Fujian fishermen do not have to worry about their livelihood in the future. It is not in vain that Ma Fengzhu entered Beijing this time, and it will be easier for him to take office when he returns to Fujian in the future.

Lin Yi recalled her father's elated appearance at the table today, it turned out that she was happy because of Fujian, not to mention her father in Funing in those years, even she was used to hearing about the homeless people and their families going out to forage for food after the flood, if the court could do this, the people would be able to benefit.

Zhou 19 said: "The emperor ordered the household department to calculate how much tariff the city ship department paid to the imperial court every year before the sea ban. ”

Lin Yi's eyes lit up, it was really a good way, they all said that the sea ban would be opened, and no one knew what it would really do, and the household department would report the number, and many people in the court would be surprised.

With this silver in the imperial court, the local pressure was greatly reduced, and the first thing to relax was the household department, and the household department would definitely vigorously promote the whole thing.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi said: "In the past, I always heard my father say that the imperial court would set up warehouses in Fujian, Shandong, Fengtian and other places to store rice and grain. Now it is the autumn harvest, and the folds from all over the country should also be sent to the household department one after another...... If the household department does not agree to open the sea ban, and does not cater to the fold, then the emperor will want to benefit all parts of the country with the household department, and the household department will become the target of public criticism if it can't take out the silver, as long as there is a disaster this year, the court relief is not good, and the household department Shangshu will not want to be an official in An'an anymore, whether to spend the rest of his life in prison, or to become a capable minister around the emperor, presumably anyone can calculate this account. ”

Zhou Jiujiu glanced at Lin Yi appreciatively, "Why don't I know when Yuan Yuan became the pavilion elder." ”

At this time, he teased her, "The concubine is just following the meaning of the prince of the county." "The Tao Te Ching says that to govern a big country, if you cook a small fresh. Although she doesn't understand the strategy of governing the country, Zhou Shijiu happened to be talking about the income and expenditure of the imperial court, which is connected to the middle feed, and she doesn't understand the political strategy, but the final result has been revealed, and she can still understand the truth.

The emperor did not want to open the sea ban on a whim, but has been planning for a long time. No wonder Zhou 19 stood on the side of the open sea ban early in the morning...... There is no reason to give up halfway with such thoughtfulness. Whoever stops it can't stop it.

Zhou Jiu said with a smile: "I heard my father-in-law say that the imperial history wants to use the ancestral family law to suppress the emperor." ”

Lin Yi just blocked Zhou Nineteen's move. Ancestral Family Law...... The previous dynasty has banned the sea, is it the ancestral family law of the emperor of the previous dynasty, or the ancestral family law of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as long as the emperor asks like this, the imperial history who said this will be frightened to kneel on the Jinluan Palace.

However, what she just mentioned was the Zheng family, how could it lead to such a passage as Zhou Shijiu, Lin Yi thought, "Is Elder Zheng Ge now willing to promote foreign trade by sea?" ”

Zhou 19 said: "Hubu Shangshu and Zheng Ge are good friends. ”

In other words, Zheng Ge, who was originally going to be a scholar, will be reused by the emperor again after this time.

Lin Yi frowned slightly. "Does the prince of the county think that he should marry the Zheng family?"

Zhou Shijiu shook his head, "Not necessarily." The ban on opening the sea was a foregone conclusion. Next, the emperor inevitably has to embark on another matter. As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yi deeply.

Lin Yi's heart jumped.

Zhou Shijiu smiled slightly, "The queen mother only gave birth to a princess. In the past, the emperor and queen were estranged, but now they are gradually warming, and perhaps the emperor thinks of succession by taking this opportunity. Which prince the queen mother succeeds, this prince may ......"

It is possible to become a prince.

"Elder Zheng Ge once taught the second prince."

In other words, the Zheng family and the second prince walked closely.

If the Chen family and the Zheng family are married now, they may be passively classified as two princes and one party.

No matter how close the relationship is, it is easy to separate political opinions without an in-law relationship, but once there is an in-law relationship, the bones are broken and the tendons are connected.

Zhou 19 leisurely half leaned on the round pillow. "It's not that this family business can't be mentioned. But you can't mention it now, your brother is not very old, and a man can mention marriage a few years later. The political situation will certainly not be the situation today. ”

These remarks are purely based on interests, and when the political situation changes, we will see which one is more beneficial to you.

Lin Yi thought of the relationship between her grandmother and Mrs. Zheng, and then thought about the relationship between Zheng Ge and the Chen family, and then the county lord Huihe and Miss Zheng Qi......

"The prince of the county thinks that the Zheng family will definitely stand on the side of the second prince?"

Zhou 19 said: "That's not necessarily, it's better to take precautions." ”

Not without reason. That's where it gets difficult.

Lin Yi raised her head and looked at Zhou Shijiu, when they came to the capital, the first thing grandmother relied on was the Zheng family......

This kind of calculation of pure interests, she really can't fully accept it in her heart.

Lin Yi looked at Zhou Shijiu, "Can the prince of the county put aside his interests first." "When I use the Zheng family, I spare no effort, and when I don't use it, I think about whether the Zheng family will cause trouble.

Zhou Jiujiu picked up the teacup and drank it, lowered his eyes, his expression was comfortable, and his facial features were beautiful, "It's okay," he has never changed his way of thinking over the years, "Lord Huihe and I have already come out of the five suits, although Miss Zheng Qi is upright, she is not arrogant, your brother is two years older, and the Zheng family and the Chen family can also be a good match...... None of the two families ...... each other."

Zhou 19 said this, Lin Yi couldn't help laughing, Zhou 19 is good at using strategy, now let him avoid calculations, he seems to not think about it, he can only describe the current situation.

Zhou Shijiu looked at Lin Yi, who was smiling like a flower.

When it comes to feelings, Zhou 19 is really very weak, as if he can't see through or understand the meaning of feelings, and Zhou 19 is like a blank sheet of paper in this regard.

"The county lord of Huihe is not less worried about the family affairs of the county prince, now that we are married, the county lord of Huihe often asks Miss Zheng Qi to ask about the situation at home," Lin Yi said and looked out the window, the county lord of Huihe was one of the few clans who was worried about Zhou Jiu being wronged in front of his uncle and aunt, "Needless to say, Miss Zheng Qi, although she is two generations of the prince of the short county, she regards the prince of the county as an elder brother. Mrs. Zheng and my grandmother have been handkerchiefs since childhood, and when we first arrived in Beijing, no one would reach out to help, and it was Mrs. Zheng who took us to the family of the country. Now the county lord of Huihe has taken a fancy to this family business, and it is also because of the harmonious relationship between the two families, my mother treats people gently, and my brother is humble and polite...... I think that although there are many girls in Gyeonggi, there are not many who can be as open-minded and kind as Miss Zheng Qi. ”

Zhou Shijiu laughed softly, "Where there is a convergence and reversal, there is a suitability." ”

Therefore, Zhou Shijiu felt that his plan all the time was the most correct.

Not everyone is plotting.

Lin Yi said: "If the county lord of Huihe is not based on the friendship of the two families, there are no longer a few people who want to get close to the Zheng family. ”

Zhou 19 said: "What about putting aside your feelings? Is this family business still appropriate? ”

She asked Zhou 19 to put aside her schemes, and Zhou 19 asked her to put aside her feelings, which is the difference between the two people.

Really put aside feelings. Maybe she prefers her brother to have a sister-in-law as smart as Zhou Langhuan and Miss Qi Wu. But nothing is perfect. Being smart doesn't necessarily take care of the entire Chen family. Straightforwardness doesn't have to mean that you can't run a family. Besides, blindly picking on others, the Chen family is not without drawbacks.

That's where the real dilemma lies.

She brought it up. Xiao Xiao's face is pale, and this family matter will not go very smoothly even if it is discussed. She has been worried about Xiao Xiao since she came back.

In short, if you don't talk about this family business, you will be in a dilemma if you change to someone else.

Zhou 19 dropped another chess piece, "It's better for you to do what you do, and I will follow my method." ”

Lin Yi and Zhou Shijiu looked at each other, at least saying what they thought about each other.

A soft smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Jiu's mouth.

……

The next day, the old lady of the long house sent the calligraphy and paintings that the Chen family wanted to sell, and Lin Yi handed over the list to the housekeeper.

The steward checked the things, and Tong Ning sent a contract.

Lin Yi opened it and saw that it was a store lease in Nanshi. Rented for ten years at once.

Although it costs less than opening a golden building and a silk Zhuangzi, it also requires two thousand taels of silver for ten years. Zhou 19 did not take the silver from her.

Tong Ning said: "In the past, I also sold the four treasures of the study. ”

That's good. If you change owners, you will also have regular customers.

The housekeeper in the house, there is a person named Sun Changdou who has been with Zhou 19 for a long time, and his brain is flexible, Lin Yi called him to see the shop, "See what is lacking and how to repair it." ”

Sun Changdou was flattered, but it was rumored in the house that the princess of the county wanted to find someone to manage the shop, and he thought that the princess of the county believed in her own companion room. Who knew that such a good thing would fall on him. "Don't worry, the little one will get things done."

After a few things in the house, Lin Yi already had a number in her heart. "It's the first time we've opened a shop in our house, and I'll get your own reward for doing a good job."

Sun Changdou saluted out, still in a dream, until he received the right card that the spirit suddenly mentioned God.

The matter of the shop came to an end, and Lin Yi ushered in Zhou Yuanqi's daughter-in-law Jiang.

Jiang Shi greeted Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou, and then went to Lin Yi's room to talk.

Lin Yi always felt that Zhou Yuanqi and Mu's harmony had the shadow of Jiang's shadow, although Jiang's kindness to her, she also felt that Jiang's face was kind......

"A slap doesn't make a sound," Jiang took the initiative to mention Muhammad, "She doesn't want to stay in Jingli, and the temperaments of the two people are really incompatible." ”

The Jiang family is afraid that she will be like the others in the clan camp, and she will have a misunderstanding in her heart!

Lin Yi smiled slightly, seeing that a person can't jump to conclusions easily, she won't believe anything rashly.

However, there are not many couples who are divorced if they do not have the same temperament.

At least she hadn't heard much, and it was even more rare that the two of them were better off than before after they left.

This incident passed by, and Jiang Shi talked about Zhou Yuanqi, "I heard that this time Yuanqi and Master Zhou were selected as escorts together. ”

I used to say that I was a guard, but I suddenly became a guard again.

Jiang said: "It's to go to serve in the palace." ”

and the palace, which is on the palace of the three princes.

Yesterday, Lin Yicai and Zhou Shijiu mentioned the second prince, and today Jiang Shi talked about the third prince.

Jiang pursed his lips a little embarrassed, and finally said, "The appointment hasn't come first, it's just the news that Yuan Qi inquired about himself, so I thought it would be better to come and ask the prince of the county, can you help talk, Yuan Qi would rather go to the infantry camp and the military protection camp, even if there are military merits in the future...... It's better than going to the Three Kings' Mansion without knowing anything. ”

Lin Yi's heart flashed, whether it was Zhou Yuanqi or Jiang's idea, these two people were knowledgeable and thoughtful. Everyone knows that guards and guards are the easiest to be promoted, especially if they have not yet established a prince, and everyone's eyes are fixed on the palace.

Zhou Yuanqi would rather go to the hard places such as the infantry battalion and the guard camp to train, because he knew that blind following was the most dangerous, and avoiding it from a distance could be stable.

Jiang begged her, how could she refuse, "I'll ask when the prince of the county comes back." ”

A smile appeared on Jiang's face, and he looked at Lin Yi gratefully, "I'll thank Princess Jun first." ”

Lin Yi hurriedly said: "Don't rush to thank you first, I don't know if it's okay yet." ”

Jiang lowered his head and smiled, "I know in my heart that the princess of the county can help ask...... No one can say for sure about the affairs of the imperial court, and they can only try their luck. ”

Looking at Jiang's smile, it was normal, but Lin Yi's heart jumped suddenly for some reason, and that feeling of déjà vu arose spontaneously.
