Li Jian had just been sent away when he heard his wife's voice coming from inside, "You are still quibbling! Look at the injury on your body."
The sound was very loud, a bit like the roar of a Hedong lion.
Aunt Su and Wu Chunlai looked at each other. Then they heard the fourth master's low voice. He couldn't make out clearly what he said, but he didn't need to think about it to know that he was being coy.
Then, I heard low moans, groans, and whispers inside.
The two of them looked at each other. They had seen too many things. When they were good, they were inseparable, and they wished they could grow up in each other. When they were bad, they felt so close that they couldn't even take a breath.
The two masters look good now, but I'm not sure what will happen in the future?
"It's time to have a child as soon as possible." Aunt Su whispered.
Wu Chunlai remembered the oath that Fourth Master made on the tower and shook his head, "It won't come to that point."
Aunt Su didn't take it seriously. If a man's promise was effective, there wouldn't be so many resentful women in the world.
By this time, it was almost noon. Only then did they call for water again.
After the two of them had freshened up, the food served became lunch.
"Let's eat something simple first. I'll make something delicious for you in the evening." Lin Yutong picked up a chopstick and took the dish over, "Drink the medicine after you eat."
The Fourth Master had a smile in his eyes and looked very well-behaved. He would do whatever Lin Yutong asked him to do.
After eating, he whispered: "There are still several carts of good stuff that will arrive today. You can go and take a look later."
The fourth master would never do anything to plunder people's wealth and wealth, so this thing could only be bought by him.
"All for me?" Lin Yutong asked with raised eyebrows.
"Go and see for yourself." He said, holding the bowl and drinking the medicine in one gulp. He stuffed a piece of rock candy into his mouth, "I'm going to the outer courtyard. If you're tired, go and catch up on your sleep. I'm back, you can
Take a rest."
Lin Yutong watched him stride out and rolled his eyes.
She rubbed her waist and was about to lie down when she saw Aunt Su coming with a stack of posts.
"What is this?" Lin Yutong raised her chin, with no intention of answering. She really wanted to rest for two days.
Aunt Su whispered: "My family members' greetings."
Family members?
There were many small officials left in the capital, and she really didn't have the opportunity to meet these family members. As for the new rich people nowadays, they often come and go, so she didn't feel the need to send special posts.
"Bring it over and let me take a look." Lin Yutong leaned on the couch with a blanket on his body, but frowned.
She read a few posts and threw them aside.
What's wrong with everything? They are all posts from various local officials in the North. Some are more tactful and just say that they have brought their girls to pay their respects. Some are very straightforward. In the posts, they praise their daughters so highly that they are rare in heaven and everywhere on earth.
It looks like nothing. I wish I could mark all my measurements.
She had seen this kind of thing before when she was the Fourth Fujin, and she had also seen it when she was the Queen. Now that she did it again, there was nothing new at all.
She put the post aside and said, "Find a girl who can read or write and make a list of these. I can be useful." People who are eager to rely on their daughters to get ahead, even if they have the ability, their ability is limited. Besides, there are only a lot of capable people in the world.
If there are too many, without them, the world will be in chaos. If we replace them with a new group, we will know what can be done and what cannot be done.
Aunt Su put the post away and pondered for a while before saying: "Madam, you...it's time for me to have an heir."
Lin Yutong gave Nanny Su a stern look, "You are upset, Nanny."
She didn't say the rest.
Mother Su's heart trembled, "Yes! Madam."
Seeing Aunt Su retreating, Lin Yutong didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Someone is eager to come to your door to curry favor, which only shows that the fourth master has indeed established his position now.
But the trouble that comes with it is really painful.
For example, those posts by merchant wives said in extremely humble terms that they were sending their daughters to be maids.
Of course, this girl refers to the girl who is my first wife.
Although this is normal, Lin Yutong still feels disgusting.
Thinking like this, he lay down on the couch and fell asleep in an instant.
When the fourth master bought something along the way, Lin Yutong was unwilling to get up and take a look. Wu Chunlai moved the things to the inner courtyard first and reported it to the fourth master.
The fourth master was talking with several gentlemen. He knew that Lin Yutong was asleep and didn't even look at the gifts. He asked about the post again and said, "Bring over the list."
Wu Chunlai turned around and went out, thinking that these people's flattery would only hit the horse's legs.
In the house today, the boy at the porter collects some money, and the plates are piled high.
Even Cheng Feng came out of the accounting room to entertain the people who came to his door. Some gave gifts, some came to pay homage, and some literati came to ask for corrections on their poems. They waited in a long line, and those who met him were eager to stop.
Fight.
The three brothers from the Lin family followed outside to provide support. They said a lot of polite words, and they were all dry-mouthed.
"Why haven't you seen my little sister come out today?" Lin Shuanzhuan turned around and looked into the yard.
Now, he no longer calls Lin Yutong Niuniu. It is really indecent. Because of this, when he went back, he was beaten up by my mother.
Lin Dalang shook his head, "I'm afraid I feel bad. Look at this visit. I think Silang...Fourth Master is like a piece of cake. I can't wait to come and take a bite."
"My life today is not as comfortable as living in the village." Lin Erlang snorted. The old man's marriage arrangement for his little sister was not sure whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
The fourth master looked at the list Wu Chunlai came in, frowned, and gave the list directly to Liu Shuquan, "Sir, take this. If there is nothing special about the people on this list, just change them."
Liu Shuquan was stunned for a moment before taking it. He didn't know what Fourth Master meant.
Listen to the fourth master say: "Go back and draft a list of appointments, removals, promotions and demotions of officials in the North and submit it to me as soon as possible."
Liu Shuquan was stunned. This actually meant that he should be in charge of the Ministry of Personnel. It could not be said that he did not take it seriously.
He quickly stood up and responded fearfully.
The fourth master raised his hand and said to Li Jishan: "Mr. Li will draft a governance strategy for the Northland, and then we will discuss it on this basis."
The delegation of power is very straightforward.
When Li Jishan stood up, he felt his body trembling. He had been rejected from official career because he failed in the imperial examinations many times. However, he did not expect that the fourth master would value him.
Fan Dongzhe nodded inwardly. Liu Shuquan was a noble and well-connected person. Asking him to draw up a list of officials would make it unlikely that he would seek personal gain with power. Li Jishan, on the other hand, was selfish but good at worldly affairs. Therefore, such an appointment could be considered as maximizing strengths and avoiding weaknesses.
Fang Qingshan has always stayed with Fourth Master and is used by Fourth Master as his confidential secretary.
As Mr. Fan is very old, he is regarded as his husband and advisor by the fourth master. He will only consult when there is something. He will never tire the old gentleman.
When Lin Yutong woke up, it was already dark.
She opened her eyes and saw Fourth Master leaning next to her, with a pile of folding papers in his hand.
"You came back so early today?" Lin Yutong sat up, "I slept this whole night because I was cooking for you. Look, it's already dark."
She said, getting up.
Fourth Master wrapped his cloak around her, "Listen to the outside..."
"Is it raining?" Lin Yutong suddenly frowned, "It's almost the autumn harvest."
The fourth master also sighed, "There is news today that it is raining in many places in the south and the rivers are swollen."
If the autumn harvest crops are further reduced, life will not be easy this year.
Lin Yutong sighed, "Every time there is a change of dynasty, there must be a natural disaster. It has become a law." I hope that this year, relying on sweet potatoes, fewer people will starve to death.
The fourth master nodded, "So, we have to be frugal with our food."
Lin Yutong rolled her eyes at him and said, "I know. I don't feel sorry for you. Look at how much you have darkened and lost in the past six months."
Fourth Master hugged her into his arms, "What's wrong today? Are you angry?"
Lin Yutong shook his head, "I can't fault it. I just feel irritated. You said I used to have the patience to deal with these things, but now I have no patience at all. There are also those merchants who are the best at making money. They only want to ask their daughters to serve others.
It seems like this, the relationship between the two parties has become solid."
"Is that so?" Fourth Master looked half-smiling, "If they come again in the future, you should come down."
Lin Yutong's face changed, and the Fourth Master quickly said: "Where are you thinking? How wronged it is to serve others? Let's find a good family for them. What do you think of Sanlang? He is happy with himself, and his status will not be low in the future. That's it
From now on, I will often call Sanlang here. Let everyone know that Sanlang is very decent in front of us. Whenever you want to send a girl, you should send it to Sanlang. If you give him such a big house, many women can fit in it.
"
You are not afraid of exhausting him to death!
"Is that how it works?" Fourth Master said, looking at her and smiling.
"Go!" Lin Yutong almost believed it.
Aunt Su came in and handed Lin Yutong a hot handkerchief. She took it and wiped her face. Wu Chunlai took another handkerchief and hurriedly handed it to the Fourth Master.
"What's the matter?" Lin Yutong said, motioning to Grandma Su to set the meal.
The fourth master glanced at the folder briefly, then handed it to Lin Yutong, "It's just nonsense."
Lin Yutong took it and looked at it, feeling a little speechless. Because next year is the emperor's seventieth birthday, he is now issuing an order to recruit wood, stone, skilled craftsmen, and craftsmen from all over the country. He wants to build a large garden and build pavilions and pavilions.
"If you are not a king, the country is not a country." Fourth Master snorted coldly, took the folding paper in Lin Yutong's hand, and threw it on the ground. Wu Chunlai was so frightened that he did not dare to say a word. He did not know whether to pick up the folding paper on the ground.
It's better to get up, or not to pick it up.
As a person with a normal mind, Lin Yutong cannot understand the brain structure of this foolish king. Although there are many more foolish emperors in history than this one, when facing such a king, he still feels that it is simply ridiculous.
