Wen Jin and Fu Jingcheng were busy with their own affairs. He was busy with his big battle, and he was busy with his grand court meeting of thousands of people.
Wen Jin was busy with his Imperial College. He had lost his livelihood because of cutting off the blood of blood-sucking insects. He went to the Imperial College to work every day and bickered with the second-in-command Gao Yan.
Gao Yanxu had a sweetheart, and his face was full of joy when he quarreled, and even his ambition when he coveted the position of Taifu was pink.
While the two of them supported each other, they built their school all over the country, from all corners of the country, and gained countless peaches and plums.
After leaving the Imperial College, Wen Jin went to Duanqiao Hutong when he had free time. He and Kang Ruili sat in the alley to keep warm in the winter, and chatted with the old man sitting on the threshold in the alley about whether the world was good or not. The old man said that the imperial court was always
The fried egg rice noodles are very good.
Wen Jin and Kang Ruili looked at the signboard of "Jin Li Hotel" written by the Holy Spirit, and recalled the past when Wen Jin was penniless and Kang Ruili was almost thrown into the street by the landlord Mr. Ling because of her big belly.
After getting through it, I have reached the age where I have money and leisure. I just feel sad thinking about the days when I was so poor.
Ba Jin often stayed with Chang Lin in the palace, and the two brothers got along very well.
"Jin, you are right. Difficulties are temporary. You have to climb to the top of the mountain so that you can overlook the scenery. If you feel tired, you are walking uphill. Downhill is the easiest way. Lying in a coffin and kicking your legs is the most comfortable.
." Kang Ruili said, "We also open a restaurant."
"Let's do it. You are so good at doing business. It would be a waste of your brain not to do business. I always think about your ancestral tofu recipe." Wen Jin said, "But I think we should not limit ourselves to restaurants. Let's try to open a business route.
Take water transport and sell things to various vassal countries. Take a longer view, Sister Ruili, hey, Sister Ruili, we can do it. If we can go out of the boudoir, we can also go abroad."
"Jin, you have found your beloved, why don't you enjoy a happy life? Why do you still worry about this?" Kang Ruili said, "You are not the same as the pampered woman in the palace who wears long armor. Since my sister met
You also learn to be independent. My Liu Hu and Liu Siyu looked at me with respect in their eyes."
"Be prepared for danger in times of peace. Who knows what will happen in the future. I have food in my hands and don't panic in my heart. Finding a man to marry is not a lifelong goal. There is no conflict between love and making a living. Look at me, I have a lot of ink. Is it a waste of reading?"
"Wen Jin said with a smile, "Become the person you want to be, and your life will not be in vain. Sister Ruili, let's keep working hard."
"Well. If you don't make progress, you are already regressing. Jin, let's work hard together. Life has just begun."
After returning to Beijing, Wen Jin wandered around, taking Chang Lin, Chang Yi, and Yueyue to Shen's house. They hung around in front of grandma, and several children followed the old lady asking for candy. Wen Jin said, come on, come on.
, Old lady, these are all my babies. You can live another hundred years and help take care of the babies. From now on, their babies will still be around your knees.
Grandma was so happy that she couldn't get a wife at the age of twenty-eight, and she scolded Shen Zishu for not getting a daughter-in-law, and Hua Nan had already married another girl and her child was already one year old.
Grandma suddenly paused, could it be that Zishu is a good man? Wen Jin quickly said, it’s not impossible, thinking that he likes my sister.
Wen Jin would take a bunch of children to the Su Mansion again and make a fuss in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang study rooms. They would take all the classic books from the Su and Zhejiang provinces off the shelves. The old man would blow his beard and stare angrily at Wen Jin, but the next day he would not
Lai asked again why Jin'er didn't come over today. Was it because he was too fierce yesterday? He also asked someone to go to Xue Mansion to invite him. If he didn't come, he pretended to be passing by Xue Mansion and walked around. He apologized to Jin'er and said he would meet again next time.
He won't be aggressive if he messes up the study room.
Wen Jin moved around and her life returned to normal. She went to many places and met many old friends. She was the only one who did not go into the palace to see the man named Fu. He was busy with the court and had no time. He heard that Lao Mo came and went.
It is said that these days there are meetings during the day and banquets at night. I often get drunk and fall into the study room and cannot get out. I fall asleep when I am drunk. I am very well-behaved and sensible, and a good family man.
At the end, Lao Mojia said that there were only men at the palace banquet, not women.
Wen Jin thinks that Lao Mo's last sentence was a failure. This statement seems stingy on her part. Is she the kind of person who can't tolerate others? Ha. It's similar to Fu saying that he's not suspicious.
In fact, the emperor couldn't come out of the palace just in time. When he came out, he hesitated. She was tired of explaining whether to ask about the child in her belly. It would be best to wait until she gave birth to a baby with amber eyes before talking to him.
When they met, all the doubts in his mind were gone.
In the middle of winter, it was very cold. Wen Jin left the Imperial College that day. After saying goodbye to several colleagues, he bought a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts on the roadside without using a carriage and walked around to Xue Mansion.
On the way back to Xuefu in the evening, I saw a shop selling calligraphy and paintings with exquisite decoration and antique style, which attracted my attention.
Wen Jin entered the shop. The proprietress was very pretty in a green dress, and there were various palace paintings hanging in the room.
Wen Jin took a liking to this painting and asked the proprietress: "How can I sell this painting?"
The man was carrying his back, and when he heard Wen Jin's voice, he turned around quickly. After recognizing him, he said in surprise: "Master!"
It turned out to be the little fairy Zhou Baolin.
When Wen Jin recognized the person, he never thought that his old friend from the harem, Zhou Baolin, had become a female painter in the capital. Among his concubines, Wen Jin only liked Baolin. She was particularly cute, kind, and non-quarrelsome. Among the female guests,
He often fantasized about the future, and finally Baolin emerged from the green-tiled palace wall and had his own future, "Baolin. No, Zhou Yuan."
Zhou Yuan is no longer someone's concubine, but an independent famous painter in the capital. It turns out that she can really live her life without a man.
Oops, Wen Jin realized that she was the only one who was entangled with that man. The world was far apart, and she was digging three feet into the ground to sort it out.
Zhou Yuan said, "Others bought my paintings for 20,000 taels of silver. When my master bought my paintings, I gave them to him for free. I have been learning to write and draw with my master in the past few years, and I have only scratched the surface and have benefited my whole life. I also have master's guidance."
, women do not have to be tied to the threshold, women can also have their own achievements. Master, what achievements have you made recently?"
"Ashamed, ashamed. Not recently." Wen Jin thought to herself that she was pregnant again. Does it count as an achievement? In five or six years, she traveled all over the country and killed several people. One of them has been enthroned as emperor.
Zhou Yuan almost staggered, "Master, you are so humble. You compile books, build schools, teach and educate people, and you are so famous all over the world that students are afraid of you calling them parents. How could you not have any achievements? You will see many achievements when you go to the students' homes."
"Yes. It is one of my great hobbies to do home visits to poor students. Every time, the children hide behind the door and look away from me. I feel a great sense of accomplishment." Wen Jin and Baolin both laughed, and then said: "Are you married to me?"
"
Zhou Yuan nodded, then shook her head, "I don't dare. After all, I was once the one in the palace... But there is a major general who often comes to buy paintings from me, and he doesn't dare either."
"Get married boldly. If the sky falls, I will support you." Wen Jin promised with a smile. Looking at the sky, it was snowing, so she said to Baolin: "Luoxue, today is the Lantern Festival, my mother is cooking Lantern Festival and waiting for me to go back.
Let’s get together more often in the future.”
Zhou Yuan gave Master a picture of the autumn scenery of the Guangli Kingdom, which contained objects and landscapes. She rolled it into a scroll and gave it to Wen Jin.
Wen Jin took the scroll and walked out of the studio to go home.
Entering the main hall of the Xue Mansion, the young man came to pick up the cloak she had left and said: "The Empress Dowager brought the Supreme Emperor to propose marriage. She said that the Supreme Emperor had just come down from the imperial meeting, changed into his dragon robe and came to the Xue Mansion to propose marriage. The Supreme Emperor was right
I was drinking with the master in the front hall. We were all drunk."
