Chapter 266: Return to Suzhou
Which monarch doesn't want to keep Mr. Ji?
But some people are destined not to force it, otherwise it will only backfire. Follow? Dream?. lā
Now everyone still doesn't know why Mr. Ji left Jiangling and went to Chu State, and he is willing to be the deputy envoy of Chu State, but they know that Chu State must not be strong, otherwise Mr. Ji will show a sentence or two, and the world's scholars will run for him.
Lin Qingwan smiled slightly and said: "Of course it's not for you to stay, for Mr. Yu, there may be only two things in this world that are the most difficult to give up, one is ideal, and the other is family." ”
The four princes lowered their eyes, Mr. Ji's ideal is the harmony of the world, everyone who wants to read can read and write, how difficult it is, but his family......
Lin Qingwan said: "Since the beginning of the Later Tang Dynasty, the world has been fighting for nearly two hundred years, and people of insight do not want to unify the world, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, I think Mr. Ji is the same." ”
Then what is the ideal of universal harmony that is too vague to be achieved in another thousand years, let alone now?
That is just an excuse to refuse solicitation from various countries.
In this era, there is no greater temptation than the unification of the country and the state of the country.
Lin Qingwan said: "There is not much difference between the national strength of Liang and Chu, the fourth brother might as well suggest that Your Majesty and Mr. Ji show Liang's mind, if you have the ability to bring Mr. Ji's family out of Chu safely, I think Mr. Ji will be happy to stay in my Liang." ”
The four princes were thoughtful.
Lin Qingwan got up and said, "It's not early, I'll go back first." ”
The fourth prince immediately got up and said, "I'll let the guards escort you back, it's going to be curfew, let them bring my token." ”
The fourth prince sent her out and asked, "Can you leave tomorrow?" ”
"Of course, the auspicious time has been set, and it is difficult to change it."
The fourth prince was slightly regretful, he thought that she would stay and fight with Song Jing.
Seeing the hidden meaning of the four princes, Lin Qingwan said meaningfully: "Where in this world is not a battlefield?" Chu and Liang have a lot of things to fight for, and I am not in the capital, but I can also help the fourth brother. ”
The fourth prince blinked, not knowing what she was talking about.
Lin Qingwan didn't explain, and he would naturally know when it was done.
Song Jing?
Originally, she wanted to sit back and enjoy the results in a low-key manner, but since his hand was so long, he had to carry half of this pot, so that she would not have to make excuses for Mr. Ji again.
The next day, Lin Qingwan left Beijing as planned, and there were still many people who came to see her off.
In addition to the eldest princess and the fourth prince, Ren Shangshu and Cui Shangshu, who was already able to walk on the ground, came to see him off.
Lin Qingwan said goodbye to them, and then looked at Shi Zhen, who was standing behind Shi Yi with his head down.
Lin Qingwan glanced at the other party, and when she saw that he was trying to shrink his sense of existence, she withdrew her gaze, and the Shi family's marriage could be refused.
Shi Zhen is indeed good, looks good, has a comparable family background, has a clean family style, and he himself is both talented and good-looking, Lin Qingwan was satisfied when she saw him for the first time, so in the three months she was in the capital, she went to the Shi family three times, and met the Shi family five times outside.
Every time she took Lin Yubin with her, the other party also took Shi Zhen.
Lin Yubin didn't feel good about him, after all, she liked Shang Mingjie, and to Lin Qingwan's surprise, Shi Zhen also looked like she was avoiding Lin Yubin.
Lin Qingwan, she admitted that she was partial, Lin Yubin had no feelings for the other party, and the other party didn't have a good impression of Yubin, which couldn't help but make her mutter.
She asked people to check, and the Shi family did not tell Shi Zhen about family affairs, and he did not have a cousin or cousin at home to borrow or live at home.
So, is this a natural incompatibility between the two children?
Anyway, no matter what the reason, neither of them felt it, so they could only forget it like this.
Lin Qingwan smiled at Shi Yi and said that he would definitely send the things he entrusted to Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Lu, and then looked at Shang Ping.
That's right, Shang Ping also came to see him off, he didn't have anything for Lin Qingwan to take back, he just came to see it.
At this time, Jiangnan had already made a move, and when she returned to Jiangnan, she would definitely be weak, so he didn't have to stop her.
Lin Qingwan looked at Shang Ping, and the smile on her face deepened by two points, "Lord Shang doesn't have anything or a letter for me to take back?" The old lady should miss it tightly. ”
Shang Ping said politely: "I only sent a batch of things back before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is nothing special to bring at this time, so I don't bother the county lord." ”
The people nearby turned their heads when they heard the words, raised their eyebrows slightly, and said secretly in their hearts: Sure enough, the rumors are true, and the relationship between the two Lin Shang families is really not harmonious.
Say that you only send a batch of things back before the Mid-Autumn Festival, far away, it is easy to have relatives and friends return to your hometown, so how can there be fewer things and letters to bring?
That's a batch that can be packed up every other day, not to mention how long it's been since the Mid-Autumn Festival.
And the list has not been released at that time, it is unknown whether Shang Mingjie can pass the exam, but now the news of Shang Mingjie's exam should not be written back to inform him?
Well, maybe the yamen in Suzhou has already gone to notify you, but the notification is different from writing a letter yourself.
In the final analysis, the relationship between the two families is not good.
The thought flashed, and Lin Qingwan directly crossed Shang Ping and Shang Mingjie and said: "I handed over your pile of things to Brother You and Yubin, and I will let them send them when I return to Suzhou, so as not to go again when I go to visit the old lady." ”
She still has to pack her things when she goes back, who knows when she will be able to find time to visit Mrs. Shang?
Shang Mingjie said with a smile: "It's good that Aunt Lin is in charge, my things are for the fun of my brothers and sisters, it doesn't matter." ”
All:......
Everyone silently turned their heads to see Shang Ping's reaction, then looked at Lin Qingwan and Shang Mingjie's harmonious relationship, and then heard that she was going to visit Mrs. Shang, so this is just a bad relationship with Shang Ping?
This Lord Shang has a hole in his head, right?
Shang Ping didn't expect that his son also asked Lin Qingwan to bring things back, which undoubtedly highlighted his indifference to his family.
Shang Ping: "......" forget it, who let this be his son?
Lin Qingwan talked to everyone who came to see him off, and then he helped Lin Yubin's hand to the carriage, Lin You and Lu Yu also got on the horse, Shang Mingjie turned around and said to his father, "Father, you go back first, and I will send Aunt Lin off." ”
Without waiting for him to answer, he jumped on his horse and went to meet Lin You and them, and the three of them sent Lin Qingwan to the ten-mile long pavilion, and only then did they stop the horse until the middle of the day.
Lin Yubin pushed the window and waved goodbye to them, "Go back quickly." ”
Lin You and the three of them sat on their horses and waved, they really wanted to say that they would go back for the New Year, but after thinking about it again, it was not far from the New Year, and by that time, they might not have a holiday for these new Jinshi.
In the end, I didn't dare to make promises, I could only wave my hand desperately, and I really didn't know when I would see you again.
Lin Yubin's eyes were also red, and he turned his head and asked Lin Qingwan, who was sitting in the car drinking tea, "Auntie, when will we see Cousin You and them again?" ”
"Don't worry, even if they don't go home, we will come to the capital again."
Lin Yubin felt better at this time, and turned his head to look at the advancing scenery outside the window.
Lin Qingwan also turned her head to look out the window, in the final analysis, it was still too far, from Suzhou to the capital, it was only two hours by plane in the previous life, but here it takes five days for a fast horse and ten days for a carriage.
And someone like Lin Qingwan, who is greedy for comfort, walks for two days and rests for one day, which takes longer.
Half a month later, when they saw the city gate of Suzhou, Zhou Tong and Lu Rui were relieved that they had finally returned home!
The three of them had tears in their hearts, and when they went, they were in a hurry, but they were in a few days, and they didn't feel that Suzhou was far away from the capital, but when they came back, they ......
Really, really, so slowly!
In the morning, you have to sleep enough to set off, at noon the sun is too big to rest the horses, and at night it is too cold and tired to leave.
If you encounter an interesting town, you have to stay for a day, and if you see the beautiful mountains and rivers in the wild, you have to stay for an extra day, oh, even if you think the cauliflower of a village is beautiful, she will stay for a day.
I don't know that they have been away from home for a long time, and now they are like arrows?
Seeing the city gate from afar, Zhou Tong and the others immediately stopped their horses, jumped off the horse and ran to the car to say goodbye to Lin Qingwan, "Aunt Lin, let's go home in the city." ”
Lin Qingwan opened the curtain and asked, "Won't you go back with me to have dinner before leaving?" ”
The three of them shook their heads again and again, "I'm afraid that the family will wait for a long time, and we will go back to see our parents first, and then come back to visit Aunt Xie Lin another day." ”
Kill them and don't go.
Lin Qingwan regretted on her face, "Then what about your things?" ”
"Let's put it here with Aunt Lin first, and then come back when we have time." In short, now the world is not as big as their home.
Lin Qingwan saw that they were really homesick, so she stopped teasing them and waved her hand: "Then let's go." ”
With big smiles on their faces, the three men ran to drag their horses, jumped on them, and ran in the direction of the city gates.
Their little men hurriedly beat their horses to keep up.
In a carriage behind, Lin Yubin lifted the curtains to watch Coke, "Look, my aunt scared them so much that they forgot to say hello to us." ”
Mrs. Yang couldn't help but smile, "They are young men, and there will be many opportunities to go out in the future, but you and your aunt are rare to be able to go out, so naturally you have to walk slowly and watch slowly." ”
It's just that the three children are not lightly grinded, and I'm just afraid that I can't sleep well these days.
Lin Qingwan watched them run fast, and after a while, they became a few small points, she couldn't help but smile slightly, and said to the coachman, "Let's go home too." ”
The coachman responded happily, and as soon as he raised his whip, he turned his head and went to the avenue of the Lin family's courtyard.
When the master went home, the Lin family's courtyard was jubilant, and the chief steward Zhong led a group of people to greet him at the gate of the courtyard.
Lin Qingwan stopped curiously and asked, "Is there any happy event in the village?" ”
The chief steward Zhong said with a smile: "The clan is happy, and specially sent three pigs to the Zhuangzi, I think that my aunt and grandmother have not come back yet, and it is better to be happy alone, so I let the pigs be slaughtered and distributed to the farmers and long-term workers, so that everyone can eat well." ”
Lin Qingwan asked with a smile as she walked, "What is the great joy of this, they are willing to take care of me." ”
