The days passed slowly in peace, from early autumn to late autumn. Although the girls in the mansion were dissatisfied with Ling Ruojin's concubine's blessing, this was decided by Concubine De. No matter how unwilling they were, they could only hold their noses and accept it, at most.
A few words of private complaint about running on people
Yinzhen seems to be busier than before these days. He often returns home in the middle of the night. Even when he returns home, he is always in the study. He only sleeps for a few hours when he is extremely tired, let alone going to bed.
Nala had advised him to take care of himself more than once, but he was so busy that he couldn't take care of much. In desperation, Nala had no choice but to ask the kitchen to remember to stew a ginseng soup every day and send it to the study, no matter how late Lord Beile came back.
Neither can be forgotten.
As for what Yinzhen was busy with, not many people in the mansion knew about it. Ling Ruo was one of them. Because she often went to the study to serve the prince, she would always see some official documents intentionally or unintentionally. In addition, Yinxiang often went in and out of the mansion.
There are only two things that are often mentioned in conversations, one is military pay and the other is the Yellow River. The money previously allocated to the Ministry of War has been almost used up, and it stands to reason that now it is time to
It was the autumn tax season, and the taxes collected by various provinces and governments were turned over to the national treasury. The Ministry of Revenue should have plenty of money, so it could make up for the arrears of grain, silver, and military pay. Who would have thought that the Ministry of Revenue was still complaining about poverty, and the prince refused.
No matter what, if they were really forced to do it, they would have to figure it out on their own, but without his warrant they couldn't check the Household Department. In short, they kept delaying it, which was really a headache.
Things haven't calmed down here yet. In Henan, due to the abnormal climate since the beginning of autumn, there have been heavy rains for days, causing the water level of the Yellow River to continue to rise. Due to the sedimentation of the Yellow River, the court has reinforced and raised the levees year after year to prevent the levees from bursting. Over the years, the water level of the Yellow River has been higher than
If the Yellow River breaks its banks, the damage to the surrounding houses and fields will be unimaginable. The imperial court has sent an imperial envoy to inspect the area, but the heavy rain has not stopped, and I am afraid that the consequences will be disastrous.
When a flood comes, not only property but also lives are destroyed. I don’t know how many families will be destroyed and displaced. Li Wei has experienced it personally. Ling Ruo often hears about the tragic situation from his mouth.
Yinzhen not only knows the benefits, but also understands that once a catastrophe occurs, the court will pay a high price for it. And with the current appearance of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Yinzhen even wonders if someone is corrupt, perverting the law, and lining their own pockets. Otherwise, why would this happen?
It looked like this. He and Yinxiang originally wanted to make this
The matter was reported to Heaven, but unfortunately there was no real evidence. More importantly, Huang Ama had handed over the household department to the Crown Prince. They were disrespectful to the Crown Prince by bypassing the Crown Prince and reporting directly to the Crown Prince. If there was a quarrel because of this, wouldn't they have ruined the brothers who have been together for many years?
Friendship, so he was also very embarrassed about this matter.
While he was trying to find a way to get money from the Ministry of Household Affairs, he also had to pay attention to the situation in the Yellow River area. He even had to appease Yin Xiang, who was increasingly dissatisfied with the prince. He was really busy.
Because of this matter, he didn't even think about the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Yinzhen remembered that Ling Ruo's family was going to the mansion a few days ago, but he didn't know that Ling Ruo'er's mother was infected with the cold and was in bed.
, has not recovered until now.
Seeing that Yinzhen still remembered his own affairs despite his busy schedule, Ling Ruo was also moved. Ever since he found out, he had been looking forward to this day coming soon.
On the fourth day of September, it had been drizzling since early morning, and the coolness was getting stronger. At noon, an old carriage stopped in front of Baylor House, and a couple in their forties got out of the carriage.
"Master, is Ruo'er here?" Mrs. Fucha asked tremblingly, looking at the words Baylor House, her eyes filled with tears of excitement and joy.
Ling Zhu patted her hand, suppressed the heat in his eyes and nodded, "Yes, Ruo'er is here, you will see her soon."
Mrs. Fucha was so happy that she took off her silk handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She was finally about to see her daughter. She had not seen her daughter for nearly a year and did not know how she was doing now. When she first learned that her daughter had been given
Her heart was broken when she gave Princess Si a brother
It is almost broken. It is simply an insult and irony for the daughter of a court official to be reduced to a concubine with no rank or rank. Fortunately... Fortunately, I got the news a few days ago that Ruo'er has been promoted to the concubine and the lucky Jin Dynasty. It finally gives me some comfort, and
Lord Beile also allowed them to visit the house.
"Wow, it's so big and beautiful, just like a palace." A clear girl's voice sounded around them, but it was Yilan. She poked her head out of the carriage and looked at the curled eaves, Baile tiles and glazed Belle Mansion in amazement.
,autumn rain
It was covered with an unreal layer of mist, making it look extraordinarily majestic and gorgeous. Yilan couldn't take her eyes away from it. With the vermilion gate, the mighty stone lions, and the guards with swords, this place was really better than their home.
Too many.
"You're really ignorant." Rong Xiang angrily pushed Yilan away who was blocking the way, jumped out of the carriage, stood next to Lingzhu and gestured arrogantly: "The palace has the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, and the body of the body."
Yuan Hall, Fengxian Hall, etc., as well as the Eastern and Western Twelve Palaces, are much bigger than here."
Yilan pouted her lips and said unconvinced: "Humph, you know it again. You've obviously never been there, so why are you showing off here?"
"Although I have never been there, I have heard Ama say it a lot. When I grow up, I will also take the first prize and become an official in the court." Rong Xiang raised his chin and said proudly.
Yilan scratched her face with her finger and said, "You haven't even memorized the Analects yet, and you are so brazen that you want to take the top prize. How embarrassing."
"Okay, okay, haven't you made enough noise at home? You still have to make noise here. It's really unruly." Ling Zhu grabbed the two of them and yelled.
Seeing Ling Zhu speak, the two little men didn't dare to say anything. They glared at each other and turned their heads to the side, ignoring each other. At this moment, a young man in green clothes and a hat dressed as a servant came out of Baylor Mansion and saw Ling Zhu.
Several people showed joy on their faces and hurried over to Ling Zhu, cupping their hands and saying, "May I ask, are you Lord Ling Zhu Ling?"
The so-called seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, let alone someone from the Baylor Mansion, Ling Zhu did not dare to ask Da Da to return the courtesy and said: "Exactly, I wonder how to call this person?"
Li Wei smiled and said: "I don't dare. My nickname is Li Wei. I am the servant responsible for serving Ling Fujin. You can just call me little Weizi. Fujin has been waiting in the house for a long time. Master Ling, Mrs. Ling and two others
Young Master, if nothing happens, please follow me in."
"Okay! Okay! I'd like to help you lead the way." Thinking that he would see his daughter soon, even Ling Zhu couldn't restrain his excitement. He took the Fucha family and walked inside quickly, not wanting to delay for a moment.
I haven’t seen her in years, so I don’t know how my daughter is doing. Is everything going well as stated in the letter?
As soon as I entered the house, a servant who had been waiting handed me an oil-paper umbrella to protect me from the rain. This oil-paper umbrella was much more delicate than the ones used by ordinary people. In addition to the mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River and the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers printed on the umbrella paper, the handle of the umbrella also had more
It is decorated with tassels, and when it is turned, the tassels fly away like flowers.
Yilan looked around while playing with her umbrella. Everything in Baylor Mansion was novel and beautiful to her. Along the way, she could see small bridges, flowing water, seasonal flowers, and even pavilions and waterside pavilions. It was really beautiful.
When she passed by the pond just now, she saw koi carp swimming in the water, bringing with it a dazzling golden color amid the fine autumn rain.
"Rongxiang, you said it would be great if we lived here." Yilan said jumpingly. She was already attracted by the luxury and exquisiteness here. Compared with their home, this place is no different from a palace, and living here
There are people waiting on me, so I don't have to do anything. I heard from the little guard that my sister is being waited on by five people, and even eating and dressing are being taken care of.
"No." Rong Xiang wrinkled his nose and blurted out these two words, "Amma said that once you enter the waiting door, it is as deep as the sea. Although the food and clothing here are good, the rules are also very strict. When you walk in,
There are people watching everywhere, and there is no freedom at all. I wonder how comfortable our own yard is."
Along the way, I would meet the servants of the mansion from time to time. After seeing them dressed in ordinary clothes, these people would show a little contempt. Even when they passed by, they would deliberately raise their chins and pretend not to notice.
Really, this kind of contempt made Rong Xiang feel very uncomfortable. If it wasn't to see his sister, he would have turned around and left.
Yilan rolled her eyes at him angrily. He was a rough guy who couldn't even tell the difference between good and bad. She was too lazy to care anymore.
[Author's digression]: Hehe, I worked really hard on the three chapters today. Please be patient. In addition, if there are no accidents, there will definitely be some at 11 o'clock in the evening. Don't worry.
