After the emperor finished chatting with Lin Ji, he felt that his brother's marriage was unreliable and refused to agree.
King An was not in a hurry. In the past, he did not go to court at all, and often did not show up for a month or two. Now it is better, running to the palace every day. He is not in a hurry, cook slowly over a slow fire, and speak softly.
First of all, the emperor was very angry. In fact, he was very shocked. He knew deeply that this younger brother, the old son of the late emperor, was originally spoiled and had an arrogant and bad temper, but later he suffered such a big blow... On weekdays,
If something doesn't make sense after three sentences, I'll fall out.
And now, he, he, he...are trying to conquer me alive!
I'm angry, but I really don't want to offend him too much.
I thought, let’s compare and see who can beat whom?!
The matter here has not yet been completely resolved. Lin Song, Liu Qing's husband, and Zhao Qinli, who participated in the Spring Festival this time, all went to take part in the palace examination.
The result was that all three of them won Jinshi.
The rankings are not at the top, but they have not fallen to the third place.
But they are all Jinshi! How many people in the world are so talented?
The old lady from the second room was so happy that she cried, and she and her husband showed off in front of the memorial tablet for a long time.
Old Mrs. Lin was also overjoyed and handed over a big red envelope of 10,000 taels of silver. Lin Bai was now in charge of the second house of the Lin family. He learned a shameless way outside and came back, kowtowed to the old man and Lin Ji, and took it with a smile.
He picked it up. He also mentioned the house he was interested in and invited the old man to come and give him an idea.
The old man actually went away proudly.
Of course, Lin Zhixiu also walked over. He looked at the front and back yards and kept nodding. The yard was neat and the house was big. He chose to live like this and change it when the conditions improved in the future.
The old man put forward many valuable suggestions and made the decision at that time.
The next morning, when Lin Zhixiu greeted the old lady, he obviously felt that she had been looking bad recently...
She pretended not to know, described it with excitement, and finally said, "I heard that cousin Bai's marriage will be finalized soon. After cleaning up the yard, we will get married in the fall! It is really a happy event for our Lin family!"
Does Lin Bai's happy event have anything to do with you? Lin Zang's marriage is right in front of him, but he didn't even mention it... The old lady looked at her upset.
This time, the old man didn’t discuss the money with her, and Lin Ji didn’t tell her either! Now when I heard that the second house had a yard, hum, I must have given the money. Damn it, old man, your own grandson is getting married soon, and he didn’t see it either.
It's up to you to allocate more money.
So he and Lin Zhixiu were not in a good mood, and scolded him with glares until Lin Zhixiu left with a depressed look on his face.
The Lin family spread the news to the palace that Lin Song had passed the imperial examination. Of course, Concubine Xian was filled with joy about such a glorious event for her family. She told the emperor again, and the way she expressed it was in line with the emperor's wishes.
The emperor directly rewarded the gift and asked Concubine Xian to send it to the Lin family. The Queen's Palace knew about it and also sent a copy. Seeing this, Concubine De had no choice but to send someone to express her feelings. Concubine Xian added her own share and sent
He brought his confidant to the Lin family.
The old man of the Lin family, together with his children and grandchildren and the two grandsons of his second wife, accepted the reward from the Emperor's Empress and said happily, "Our Lin family is advancing step by step in the capital. Each of you must be careful in your words and deeds. Don't embarrass the family!"
Congerlang responded.
The old man looked at a room full of men, stroking their beards, and felt very satisfied with his life.
Concubine Xian's confidants were shocked when they met Lin Jiangwan alone.
Lin Jiangwan suddenly seemed to have aged a few years. The original arrogant pretentiousness was gone. His straight back was actually a little slumped. When he spoke to her, he was also absent-minded.
After the confidant returned to the palace, he reported the situation to Concubine Yan Xian.
Concubine Yan Xian sat there, feeling a little irritable. What did her mother want to do? Everything was getting better. At this time, she had to be more careful. She thought about it with a solemn face, and ordered people to invite her parents.
In the palace, she wanted to talk to them.
It just so happened that she had moved to the new palace in spring. It was particularly dignified to receive guests here...
On this day, Yan Jun went to Lin's house to pick up Lin Jiangwan.
Lin Jiangwan took a carriage and Yan Jun rode a horse. The two of them entered the palace in silence.
The Concubine Xian was sitting on the throne of her own palace, looking at her parents who came in, and she was filled with emotion. She knew how loving her parents were, but she never thought that one day they would become strangers to each other.
Concubine Yan Xian asked her parents to sit down and asked with concern, "Father, are your injuries okay?!"
Yan Jun said, "Thank you, Madam, I'm basically fine, but I still have to recover for a while..."
Lin Jiangwan's heart froze. She and her husband have really come to this point. He has gone through such a big thing, and I can ignore it and don't care...
"Father, on weekdays, daughters communicate more with their mothers. Today, I just want to hear from you, mother. Let father talk. Don't interrupt him..."
Yan Jun looked at her, was quiet for a while, and said, "Daughter, dad, is already old..."
This sentence made Lin Jiangwan's heart feel like a knife.
Yan Jun said, "This assassination... was not unnoticed or unprepared before. With such a result, one did not expect that he would have such powerful manpower. The other is that my father is old and has great skills."
It’s not as good as it used to be.”
Lin Jiangwan's proud heart collapsed and she burst into tears. For so many years, it was her husband who supported her.
But he couldn't bear it all.
Yan Jun looked at her and took out a handkerchief. Lin Jiangwan didn't take it, so he put it in her hand.
"So, daughter, dad wants a simple life. He doesn't need so much love, it doesn't need to be so complicated, he doesn't need to be humble, speculating, coaxing... I don't have that temper anymore. Jiang Wan, Aunt Zhong, I have nothing to do with her.
I didn't care too much about your love. I didn't even give her one tenth of your money. But I need her now, who can relax me and give me my son... I also need support. Haha,
Have you never thought that one day I will also need support?"
Lin Jiangwan cried and pointed at Concubine Xian, "Where is my daughter? Can't she give you support?!"
Yan Jun said calmly, "I can't give it! So, I will be assassinated! Have you ever thought about what would happen to the Yan family if I died this time? What would happen to you?"
Lin Jiangwan choked.
Yan Jun said, "What's more, there are things that I haven't even figured out yet! Madam, I hope you can understand this. I want a son now, and I want to personally bring him up, teach him how to read, and teach him kung fu."
I want to hand the Yan family into his hands!"
Concubine Yan Xian did not expect that her father would speak like this.
"For you, Jiang Wan. After all these years, I have asked myself, am I worthy of you? The Yan family is worthy of you! My mother... is worthy of you! But, she, such a good-natured and good-tempered person, has been disappointed in you!"
If it were Lin Jiangwan from before, she might have sneered and said, "Then Li He!"
But now Lin Jiangwan couldn't tell...
Concubine Yan Xian said, "Mother, do you understand what father said?"
Lin Jiangwan was about to speak, but Concubine Xian held her down and said, "Mom... you have to think carefully, we are all your closest relatives. Over the years, my daughter knows how much you have done for her. Some, even
It’s not what my daughter needs! I told you, but you can’t listen. That’s why my daughter wants you now. Listen carefully and think carefully. From another perspective, for example, what would happen if you and my grandmother changed places?
?”
Lin Jiangwan lost her airs at this moment and cried, "But we are all fine now! We are all fine now, why are you doing this to me?"
Yan Jun said, "Jiang Wan, we can't understand each other. It's better to get along like an ordinary couple in Beijing. For example, your parents."
Concubine Xian said, "Father, there is something that my daughter wants to explain to you. Although it seems that it is the mother's idea for her daughter to enter the palace, if the daughter does not want to, she will not come in. It is the daughter who wants it...
.
This was the first time Yan Jun knew about this, and he looked at Concubine Xian in shock.
The Concubine Xian smiled, "Daughter, ever since I saw the Emperor, I have been impressed by his charm. I feel that the children of the aristocratic families in the capital are pale, immature and boring."
Yan Jun was a little bit dumbfounded.
Concubine Xian looked at Lin Jiangwan again, "Mother, it may be difficult for your daughter to speak... You yourself long for love and want to be alone. But why would you think of sending your daughter to the palace? Your Majesty, it is destined that you will never be like your father.
I treat you the same way I treat my daughter!"
When Lin Jiangwan heard this, his face turned red and white.
The Concubine Xian smiled, "So, mother! Do you have to have love to live your life? What about your daughter's love? Your daughter feels sorry for you. A good game of chess has left you in a mess. Face is very important, but if you take it too much, it will become a mess.
My own burden is too much!"
Lin Jiangwan lowered his head and said nothing.
Concubine Xian said, "You have me and my sister. Until today, I have not said anything about hoping that you will get back together. Just like what my father said, you should just live a normal and peaceful life as an ordinary couple in the capital."
!”
Lin Jiangwan knew what her daughter was talking about. The situation was over, and the life she had been proud of before was over... She nodded, "Don't worry, Madam, I know what to do."
Concubine Xian said, "Father, I don't know what else will happen in the future. I will leave everything to you. Grandma, come back, I will ask her to speak in the palace!"
After coming out of the palace, Lin Jiangwan said, "Let me go home with you and say a few words to mother!"
Yan Jun nodded "Okay."
After Zhao Qin's Lidian exam, he discussed the Fang family's affairs with his parents. He confessed that his father-in-law had been ridiculous when he was young and ran away from home with a prostitute. As a result, the two of them encountered a flood. The prostitute died and his father-in-law was killed by Li.
She was saved by her parents and married their only daughter.
And now this matter is a lie made up by the Fang family where the father-in-law was originally from, in order to steal the marriage with the third sister in the family. He also asked his parents, "Didn't your identity be verified when we first got engaged? Why do you believe it when others say it!"
"
His parents looked at each other speechlessly, and what could they do if their daughter-in-law was pregnant?
His mother said dissatisfiedly, "How did this matter affect you? Otherwise, your ranking would have been much earlier!"
Zhao Qinli laughed and said, "Mom! You think too highly of your son. Besides... maybe there are benefits, we don't know yet!"
His dad asked, "How do you say that?!"
Zhao Qinli smiled but didn't answer, looking very mysterious.
If it really turns out to be what he wishes in his heart, then he will be able to take advantage of the situation and reach the top!
It’s going to be a great start!
Speaking of which, that day, that person looked very kind to me!
Lin Zhixiu prepared congratulatory gifts and sent them to the Liu family and the Fang family.
As a result, the person who delivered things to Fang's house came back and said that the things were not delivered in. It was because of the huge door. No matter what the purpose of the visit was, they would not let anyone in or inform them, and they would yell at them and almost throw the things on the ground!
