Zhong Ruying looked up at Lin Qingwan and was silent for a long time.

Lin Qingwan also raised her eyes, looked at her for a long time, half a ring, the two of them lowered their eyes at the same time, Zhong Ruying said lightly: "This matter is not urgent." ”

"Yes, you're still so young," Lin Qingwan picked a piece of walnut crisp she liked for her, and said lightly: "It's not a problem to keep it for another twenty or thirty years." ”

Zhong Ruying couldn't help laughing, "Accept your auspicious words." ”

If she can guard the border for another twenty or thirty years, she will live a long life.

Lin Qingwan swept her eyes and kept looking at the young men here, and sighed faintly: "If you meet someone who is destined, it is better to adopt it, whether it is a man or a woman, or whether it is blood, it will always be different if there is a close person by your side." ”

Zhong Ruying pinched her fingers and didn't speak.

Lin Qingwan knew her concerns, and reached out to hold her and said, "There are many difficult things in the world, isn't it difficult for you to fight?" Isn't it still in full swing, how can you raise a child and look forward to the future like this? ”

Zhong Ruying smiled bitterly, "Raising children is not like fighting, I often complained about my father when I was young, since I gave birth to me, why didn't you take me with you, and always left me in the palace?" ”

She sighed: "Later, when my father took me to the border gate, and I became a general myself, I learned about this worry. put the child by his side, for fear that the knife and gun would be blindless and hurt him, and he was also afraid that the gentleman and playmate at the border pass would not be as good as those in the capital; But he was also afraid in the capital, afraid that he would be bullied in the capital, but he couldn't support him, and he thought about it tightly......"

Zhong Ruying's most stressful two years naturally wanted to pass the step, the Zhong family forced her, the Qi family also forced her, and even His Majesty wanted her to have a child, the child who was sent to her at that time was only seven or eight years old, and the younger one was not yet a year old, of course she was moved.

But as long as she thought of what she would have to consider in the future, she hesitated again, and this matter was delayed again and again, and now her heart was cold, and the Zhong Qi family fought to the death in a place she couldn't see, and she didn't bother to care.

"It's not necessarily bad to be worried, at least it means that there are people in this world that you care about," Lin Qingwan looked at her and said, "When the world is peaceful, you can think about it." ”

Zhong Ruying smiled, "When will the world be peaceful?" ”

"There will always be peace, you have great merits, you will definitely be able to see it."

The two of them talked, and by the way, they filled their stomachs, and Lin Qingwan asked the attendants to pack up their things, leaving only some fruit.

Zhong Ruying waved her hand and asked Zhong Xian and Qi Zong to let them in.

The three teenagers led a group of people behind them, and they came over to salute Zhong Ruying, and peeked at Lin Qingwan, although they had never seen her, they also guessed her identity, and hurriedly saluted her.

The three teenagers were very domineering outside, but they didn't even dare to say a word in front of Zhong Ruying, they came here because they were angry with each other, otherwise they would have avoided Zhong Ruying far away when they saw Zhong Ruying in the past.

Zhong Ruying lifted her eyelids and glanced at them, and asked lightly, "How do you know I'm here?" ”

Qi You's mouth was the sweetest, and he smiled flatteringly: "My brother and I knew that my aunt was out of the city today, so we went out of the city early in the morning to send it, I thought I couldn't catch up, but who knew that I could catch up with my aunt here." ”

Zhong Ruying said with a smile: "That's quite early, you came on horseback?" ”

Qi You was young in the end, his face was slightly red, and he glanced at his eldest brother worriedly.

Qi Zong changed the topic, "It's not early today, is my aunt going to leave tomorrow?" Tomorrow my nephew and second brother will come to see you off. ”

Zhong Xian said anxiously: "Auntie, don't listen to them, they are used to lying and flattering, and they are very slippery, they are obviously going to go out of the city to run a horse, they ran into me, bet with me, and saw my aunt's frame from a distance, so I knew that you were here." ”

Zhong Ruying lifted her eyelids and glanced at him, and said, "You are honest, why do you also fight with them?" ”

Zhong Xian choked and couldn't speak.

The Zhong family and the Qi family have not dealt with each other, since Zhong Ruying's widow.

The Zhong family wanted Zhong Ruying to recruit another son-in-law, and the Qi family naturally wanted Zhong Ruying to be widowed, but no matter what the two families thought, Zhong Ruying has always ignored it, and she no longer marries, not because of the Qi family, but because of Qi Luan.

If you don't get married, then you can have a child.

The Zhong family wants to pass the child to her, and the Qi family naturally wants to pass on their own child, in the eyes of the Qi family, Zhong Ruying is the daughter-in-law of the Qi family, so she naturally wants to pass the child of the Qi family.

The two families have been arguing over this, but Zhong Ruying has always looked down on the children of the two families.

The Zhong family's bloodline is too far away, they are all out of five suits, there is little contact with her father when he is there, and her children are stupid, so she can't look down on her at all.

And the Qi family is quite close to her husband's blood, but Zhong Ruying looks down on them even more.

Relying on her and Qi Luan's momentum, the Qi family has caused her a lot of trouble over the years, if she hadn't let people go in Beijing Town, she might not have become a big deal.

Ready-made children, Zhong Ruying can't look down on any of them, Mrs. Qi obviously knows this, and in the past few years, she has pressured her eldest son to have children, just if she wants to give birth to Zhong Ruying, let her teach herself.

It's a pity that her eldest uncle may have played too much in the past few years, and she hasn't given birth to a child over the years.

It is also because of this that the old lady Qi was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and the second prince wanted to accept the daughter of the Qi family, hinting that when they gave birth to a child, they would pass it to Zhong Ruying, and the old lady agreed without thinking about it.

The daughter of the Qi family ran back to her parents' house when the second prince was demoted, and still did not give birth to a child, and the old lady Qi can only put her hope on the two grandsons now, hoping that they can please Zhong Ruying and succeed to her name.

Zhong Ruying was impatient to see them, nodded her knees and said, "Okay, now that you have seen me, I also know your intentions, go back." ”

Qi Zong and Qi You saw that Zhong Xian didn't move, so they didn't move either.

Zhong Xian saw that they didn't move, of course it was impossible for him to leave, Zhong Ruying sneered, waved his hand to the sword, and said, "Please leave, young masters." ”

Shi Jian led a team of soldiers forward, Lin Qingwan was here, and Qi Zong and the others were afraid of losing face, so they bowed and retreated with a red face.

Lin Qingwan saw that they led the horses and left in a hurry, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, lunch is also used, and the wind is blowing, you pack up and go, otherwise your old lady will send someone to catch up, and you will feel better." ”

Zhong Ruying thought of Mrs. Qi's habitual habit of crying, making trouble, and hanging herself, she couldn't help but shudder, got up and patted her clothes and said, "Then I'll go first." ”

Lin Qingwan got up to see her off, "If you have something, write to me, but don't cut it like last time." ”

Zhong Ruying was most afraid that she would settle this account, so she smiled flatteringly: "Sister Wan'er, don't worry, I won't be like that again." ”

Lin Qingwan sent her to the car with a smile.

She didn't really want to ride a horse, so it was better to get into the car and lie down.

Zhong Ruying lifted the curtain and said: "Although the old lady in my family is making a fuss, but she is old, you can help me take care of it more in the capital." ”

"Don't worry, I'm familiar with the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital."

Zhong Ruying knew that she understood her worries, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Old Mrs. Qi is now being held by the Qi family, except for Zhong Ruying, no one dares to give her anger, and she never goes out, and the noise is only in that courtyard.

The only thing that has a problem is the body, and with Lin Qingwan's promise, Zhong Ruying set off with confidence.

Lin Qingwan was not in a hurry to go back, and it happened that the scenery nearby was also good, so she simply asked the guards to spread out the blankets, and she sat on them to bask in the sun.

When she was about to fall asleep, the people of the Qi family arrived quickly, and when they saw that there were only people from the Lin family on the grass, they knew that Zhong Ruying had already set off.

They hesitated for a moment but came forward to say goodbye before leaving.

Lin Qingwan looked at the backs of them leaving, and sighed with Yi Han: "There is such an old lady in the family, and it is not easy for Lord Zhong. ”

Yi Han said with a smile: "Lord Zhong may not return to the capital once in three years, Hongzhou is so far away from the capital, who can be her master?" It's just that I was nagged when I returned to Beijing. ”

"Yes." Lin Qingwan got up and said with a smile: "Let's go back too." ”

Today, Lin Qingwan asked for leave to see her off, so as soon as she returned to the capital, she went into the study to deal with government affairs.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and there were indeed a lot of things, plus there was another Enke after the autumn, so it was even busier.

Lin Qingwan tried her best to deal with the matters assigned to her by June, and then took a long leave with the emperor to return to Suzhou.

Ordinary ministers who can't go back after being away from home for more than ten years abound, and there is no one like Lin Qingwan who has to go back once a year.

It's Zhong Ruying, isn't it a few years before you can go back to the capital?

But who calls people fast, and the Lifan Yuan is not like the six departments, things are endless, and the government affairs of the Lifan Yuan are gathered together, and if they don't come, they will be very idle.

That is, now that I am in charge of a mutual market, it seems that I often have something to do, but in fact I am not very busy.

This is also one of the reasons why the first emperor stopped establishing Shangshu after his death from illness.

Anyway, Lin Qingwan asked for leave, and then told Lin You some things and went back to Suzhou, she had promised Yubin that she would return to Beijing from Suzhou after dealing with the affairs of Chu State, but when the first emperor was seriously ill, she broke her trust, and now she wants to go back to see what she says.

Moreover, there are still many things waiting for her to deal with in Suzhou.

Ji Yuan's family is now in Suzhou, and even the descendants of many wealthy families in Chu are also in Suzhou, Zhou Tingshi has long written to complain to her, saying that these people have come to Suzhou, which has always been peaceful, and there are a lot of disputes.

Now Suzhou is still peaceful, but Zhou Tingshi always feels that there is a storm brewing behind him, and he wanted to send some people away a long time ago.

But there are reading buildings and literary gardens in Suzhou, and they can't get rid of those literati at all, and Zhou Tingshi can't use strong means to get rid of people, so now he can only stare dryly.

Lin Qingwan went back to see what Suzhou was like now.

Yi Han covered the Lin family's family emblem on the carriage, and the carriage walked on the official road in a low-key manner, first went back to the Lin family's courtyard, put down some things, and then entered the city.

Before approaching the city gate, Lin Qingwan heard a commotion, she lifted the curtain slightly to look, only to find that there were many stalls on both sides of the road outside the city gate, in addition to selling all kinds of gadgets and food, more were bookstalls.

There are those who sell books, there are those who sell paintings, and there are many who sell paper.

To Lin Qingwan's surprise, there were really many people running to visit these stalls on the road, she blinked and wondered: "Why didn't you put it in the city and run outside the city?" ”
