The weather is slowly getting hotter, and it would be too hot to stay in the house without putting ice in it. But the fourth master is obviously busy.
What's wrong?
Because Master Thirteen is on a business trip, many things that he didn’t need to deal with before have now piled up.
"This won't work." The fourth master was busy reading and approving the papers, while complaining to Lin Yutong, who was helping to sort out the papers. "This absolutely won't work. It's not because the court can't run without anyone. There's something wrong with the system."
Yes, yes! Yes, yes, yes!
Several ministers of the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department almost died in their posts. Anyone who can go back for ten days to rest for one day is considered to be on a big vacation. These two places are running smoothly. The fourth master is full of energy, and others are not as energetic as the master.
Even a few people who had been relegated to the second line like Ma Qi were fooled by the fourth master and started working as temporary laborers. Don't think it is squeezing the labor force, these people are eager to do it. This shows that Long live the master is still here
Thinking about them. Not only do I think about them, I don’t think they are useless. It’s an honor to come out for the second time. I work hard and yet I join a clique and mess around. It’s just like that person who occasionally shows up in the workplace after retirement.
Just like an old man on the other side, things must be done well, and the reputation of a lifetime cannot be ruined. If he has any more ability, he must show his skills and show his successor that he is not as good as his predecessor as a leader. Not only is his efficiency high,
And he is particularly easy to talk to, especially when talking to his subordinates. He can make people feel affectionate and not put others down. With his predecessor as an example, if his successor does not risk his life, even if the fourth master does not say anything, will the people below him be able to convince him?
Lin Yutong didn't know what the local officials were like, but the official style in the capital was definitely different. There were fewer people who were careless about work, and there were more people who were down-to-earth and worked hard.
This also caused Lin Yutong to be busy helping him with logistics matters, and was not busy with his own business at all.
He is working hard for the imperial court, so the fourth master can't help but express his feelings. He wants to express his feelings, but he doesn't have the time in the United States like before to summon this person to connect with each other, and to summon that person to have a heart-to-heart talk about the family's shortcomings. It's not a problem if this goes on.
.Then Lin Yutong's job came. Today, the minister's wife is not feeling well, Lin Yutong needs to know, and then he has to send someone to ask for help, and send doctors and medicines. Tomorrow, when the minister's daughter gets married, Lin Yutong has to send someone to give her two
The dowry is used to support people's face. The officials in the capital are just that. The key is some local officials, especially those who are feudal officials. Ertai is the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Lin Yutong has to send someone to reward things in the name of the fourth master on his birthday.
The things are not very expensive, sometimes they are just pens, inks, paper and inkstones, which are delivered in person. The messenger has not come back yet, it is his wife's birthday, and there is another round of rewards for jewelry, hairpins and rings. This is just one person.
In order to cope with this errand, Lin Yutong specially set up an attendant's room for himself. In addition to Zhang Qilin, Lin Yutong also used another person to manage the attendant's room.
She called Jiu Fu Jin into the palace today just for this person.
Jiu Fujin looked at the painting in front of him and seemed to have some impression, "This is the day I was admiring plum blossoms in the garden..."
Yes, she is the girl who comes from a bad background but is pretty good at painting.
"The key is that she is Han." Jiu Fujin reminded Lin Yutong again.
Only Han people use it.
In fact, the status of girls from Manchu families is relatively good, especially the eldest daughter of the family, who has the same status as her son. She has a say in her natal family. She usually goes out to show off and will not be criticized. But the Han family
Women are different. Nowadays, girls from Han families, even from small families, who have some means to care for their daughters, will bind their daughters' feet, otherwise they will not be able to get married. You can't say that foot-binding is prohibited and that this is prohibited.
Bind your feet. If you dare to let go of your little feet, I don’t know how many people will jump to their belts and hang them from the rafters to die.
Lin Yutong took a look that day. Although the girl's cloak was long and covered her whole body, judging from her standing posture, she definitely didn't have small feet. Later, she specifically asked Bitao to send someone to observe, saying that they were footprints left in the snow.
Definitely not small feet.
Then this girl is even more suitable. Her family is in a difficult situation and she has no family to rely on. She takes refuge with her aunt as a concubine, but she is not blinded by the wealth of the palace and lives outside the palace with only her younger brother. In the capital,
How difficult is it for the two young siblings to survive? But the person who inquired about the news came back and said that the girl had not used a penny from her aunt, but on the contrary, she often gave her filial piety during the New Year.
He is self-reliant, able to stretch and retract, and he understands that people have to bow their heads under the eaves. When I went to the Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet, I didn’t want to stand out, so I wore the simplest clothes and dressed casually, not attracting any attention.
Even when standing, I try to stand behind others, with my head half bowed.
A very interesting person.
Lin Yutong pointed at the painting and asked Jiu Fujin to look at it, "...if it weren't for the fenced yard at the foot of the mountain and the old yellow dog in the yard..." She gently pressed her hand on the painting, "Look again..."
Jiu Fujin couldn't say anything about this, "Just looking at it, it's no different than the masterpieces by famous Lao Shizi artists that our father brought back..."
"That's it." Lin Yutong let go of his hand, "Now that I have added a few strokes, I have reduced a good painting by one frame. But the wonderful thing is, just looking at it like this, it doesn't seem out of place at all.
"
Jiu Fujin understood clearly. He was afraid that this girl was painting for fun, but she didn't know that she was going to be in front of a noble person, so she added a few strokes temporarily, not wanting to be in the limelight.
But the queen just took her fancy.
Before, she thought that the queen was choosing a housemate for the third elder brother. San Fujin had never been pregnant, and the third elder brother had an only child. If the mother-in-law really had to make arrangements, the daughter-in-law would have to suffer. What's more, this person is still
Next to the Queen Mother, she is the second most noble mother-in-law in the world.
Unexpectedly, everyone guessed wrong.
Jiu Fujin laughed and said, "Okay! I'll go and see this girl myself." I guess I won't be mistaken.
I also mentioned the textile loom that was being built, but I couldn’t let it go until I saw it.
But the thing hadn't come out, so Lin Yutong couldn't show it to anyone. The fourth master sent someone to do this, but the specific person to do it was a man named Gao Yuan. This person was the fourth master and Lin Yutong who condescended to come to the house in person to get the favor back.
When I met Li Si'er, the Fourth Master bought two wood-carved hairpins for three taels of silver. The person who carved the wooden hairpins was Gao Yuan. He was a student who went to Beijing to take the exam. Knowing how embarrassed he was, the Fourth Master sent him to him every now and then.
People went to buy the things he carved and came back. There were jewelry, all of which were given to Lin Yutong. There were small toys such as puppies and kittens, half of which were given to Hong Sheng, the sixth elder brother in front of the Queen Mother, and half to Yong Kun, the boy of Hongshi's family.
Anyway, no matter what it is, Fourth Master buys it. Then all his pocket money, together with the filial piety money given by his filial son Hong Zhou, are all spent on it.
As a result, this plateau didn’t do enough to make a fuss about it. When Enke was on the list, he was not on the list. Gewuke didn’t see his name either.
It doesn’t matter if the skill in the article is not enough, as long as the skill in hand is good.
So the two of them dressed up like wealthy locals and went to find this plateau.
If you can win the exam at the age of 20, you are not a fool. This belongs to the best among people. Even if a person fails the exam at the age of 20, it doesn't matter. In ten years, he will only be 30 years old.
It’s not too late. But firstly, his family is poor, otherwise he would not have used up all his savings due to illness. Secondly, he likes to play with wood. Playing with these things when he has no fame is like playing with things. After he has fame, he will play with them.
This thing is elegant. Therefore, the skill of this hand has never failed. Third, he has been told about the work in the store. The couple who bought his hairpin are definitely the noblest among the nobles. I never saw it.
Li Si'er and Longkodo didn't even dare to fart? It's actually easy to guess who this couple is. The things that were carved later were all bought by people with fair faces and beards, so he guessed, 80% of them
He is a eunuch in the palace.
So he was not in a hurry even after failing the exam. Anyway, the noble people bought his things and he saved a lot of money in a short period of time. He stayed in the capital for a while, just waiting to see if there was really an opportunity of his own.
Then a middle-aged couple with extraordinary bearing arrived.
He bowed to Natou when he saw him, and it would be a lie to say he was not moved. The real Dragon Emperor condescended to condescend to him, how could he be so virtuous and capable?
King Wen of Zhou led Jiang Ziya's horse and put the pedals on it, while Uncle Liu Huang paid three visits to Zhuge Kongming's thatched cottage.
I am just a candidate, but I asked the emperor and queen to come to the door in person? Can I compare to Jiang Ziya or Zhuge Kongming?
But the fourth master said that his hands are more precious than Jiang Ziya and Zhuge Liang.
After talking to Gao Yuan, the fourth master said very passionately: "... King Wen of Zhou pulled the chariot for eighty steps for Jiang Ziya, and Jiang Ziya protected the Zhou Dynasty for eight hundred years... Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times to invite Kong Ming, and Zhuge sought three parts of the world for him...
…I don’t want you to plan for the world and protect the country, your hands can change this world…”
Gao Yuan looked at his hands with calluses and small wounds. Are they so important?
It wasn't until he saw the drawings that Gao Yuan understood the value of his hands. He knelt down and kowtowed to Fourth Master, "...If even a little bit of it is exposed, I will hold my head in my hands to apologize..."
So there was a little-known official in the imperial court. His name was Gao Yuan. He was appointed by the Fourth Master as the head of the Ministry of Industry as a Juren. He was ranked seventh in rank and was responsible for the royal utensils used in the palace.
After this appointment came out, many people asked about Gao Yuan's origins. This is not a secret, and it came out as soon as he inquired about it. As a result, it turned out that the queen was interested in this guy's craftsmanship. Not only did the queen like it, but the queen mother also liked it.
Even the sixth elder brother in the Queen Mother's Palace and the emperor's only grandson Yongkun so far like it. So when my wife, son, and grandson all like him, what's so great about the emperor appointing such a small seventh-rank official? Those
Those who don’t have the honor to donate to the official position have more than one grade seven. What’s more, people still have to be promoted. Juren also have the qualifications to be officials. Most of the minor officials of the seventh and eighth grades below are promoted by the government.
Therefore, when Gao Yuan was asked to do other things alone, no one responded. Even if this guy didn't go to the Ministry of Works, no one would say anything.
But where is the plateau now? Of course it is kept secret from the outside world.
After Gao Yuan left the palace, Fourth Master called Hong Zhou, and he handed over the technical confidentiality measures to Hong Zhou.
After Hong Zhou walked out with his feet fluttering, Fourth Master said to Lin Yutong: "You still have to watch more. No matter how smart he is, he is still young after all."
Lin Yutong feels that craftsmen at this time really have a bit of a craftsman spirit. They are afraid of ruining their own brand and making machines that look like handicrafts. In terms of efficiency, it is a bit low. But it can't be rushed yet. It will be used in the future.
When they taste it, they can taste it themselves.
There was no way Jiu Fujin could tell the story behind this, so he tried to explain it a few times, saying it was going to be soon, so he asked someone to serve two ice bowls and changed the subject.
Jiu Fujin was very obsessed with the chilled egg roll and cream cone. He looked happy while eating, and said with some relief: "The man in our family went to the south, saying that he was going with the Thirteenth Master. This trip
It will take several months, right?”
This is a disguised form of inquiry.
How many months can it be? Master Jiu went to Russia last year and came back in the spring of this year. He has not been idle in the past few months. He has counted and rechecked the goods and shipped them all to the south. In fact, this is what he is planning to bring with him.
Cargo bound for Nanyang.
Jiu Ye will not go with him. He is the one who took the lead in this matter, and he also arranged the people who go to sea. Thirteen is going with him because this is the first time the navy has carried out a maritime escort mission. Business matters involve Jiu Ye, but this
The navy was a big deal, so Thirteenth Master went there in person.
As for how long it will take to come back, it's hard to say.
Lin Yutong only smiled: "You can't live without me."
"How can there be?" Jiu Fu Jincai refused to admit it, "I can't believe it's true, but I can't live without him... Haha, I feel comfortable without him." It was hard to go out without being watched by her.
Lin Yutong felt that Jiu Fujin had been free for a period of time and her ambitions had become wild. It would be difficult for her to stay at home and stay at home again.
When Jiu Fujin saw that the queen was not sure, he stopped asking and asked, "...how are the marriages of the three young uncles going? Didn't see any suitable ones?"
The three younger uncles refer to the three younger brothers-in-law, twenty, twenty-one, and twenty-two, the former emperor’s brother.
Didn't Lin Yutong not care about it?
Jiu Fujin's reminder forced Lin Yutong to put this matter on the agenda.
We had to discuss it with Fourth Master in the evening. I didn’t expect Fourth Master to say anything at first, but he was silent for a moment and said, “I’ll mention a few, you can take a look.”
Lin Yutong took a pen and paper, and saw that the fourth master seemed to be having a hard time. She had to remember it accurately, and it was difficult to save.
The Fourth Master tapped his fingers on the table, "I will mention two people for you to consider. One is the daughter of Jilin General Yuan Gui. The other is the daughter of Zuo Jianji, the leader of the group."
Lin Yutong frowned, where did these people come from? Are they all with Han surnames?
Who?
Fourth Master pointed to Yuan Gui written by Lin Yutong, "Of course you don't know this person, but you definitely know his ancestors."
Lin Yutong looked at Fourth Master in confusion, I'm sorry, I really can't remember which one?
"Yuan Chonghuan!" Fourth Master said these three words slowly.
The tea Lin Yutong just picked up shook in her hand and almost spilled it. She thought she heard wrong, "Who are you talking about?"
The Fourth Master smiled when he looked at her, "You heard me right, it's Yuan Chonghuan."
Wow?!
How do you say this?
Who is Yuan Chonghuan? He is a national hero who fought against the Qing Dynasty. After that, you told me that you want to marry his descendants. Is there anything wrong?
The fourth master shook his head, "Manchus and Han people treat everyone equally. We have always said this, but it is a bit biased. Nowadays, no matter how much I say we treat everyone equally, few people take it seriously." As he said, he looked at Lin Yutong, "If you look at the right person, Hong
For a wedding in the daytime, choose one from among them."
Not only did he want to use his younger brother's marriage to demonstrate the unity of Manchu and Han, but he even wanted to use his own son's marriage as an excuse.
But is this really good?
"What's wrong?" Fourth Master laughed at Lin Yutong, "You don't know the basics. Yuan Chonghuan's first wife's surname is Huang, and it is true that she has no children. However, in the late Ming Dynasty, intermarriage between Manchus and Han was extremely common, and Yuan Chonghuan had a Manchu.
Concubine, and this concubine also gave birth to a daughter and a son. The son was a posthumous son. The daughter had already been married into the royal family. It was the ancestor Huang Taiji who personally married Hauge's side Fujin... and gave birth to a son.
…”
So it is not surprising that his descendants were named Jilin Generals.
This general is not a general in charge of thousands of troops, but a false position, similar to a title, which can be hereditary.
After understanding this, Lin Yutong nodded, "I already know about this ancestral family. They are the descendants of Zu Dashou."
That's right! It's Zu Dashou.
Seeing the fourth master nodding, Lin Yutong couldn't help but think of a couplet, "A famous general of a generation, who controlled the outside of the pass and took in the pass, can be said to be loyal and loyal; the ministers of the two dynasties, rebelled against the former master and betrayed the latter master, they are really not human inside and outside."
"
If I remember correctly, Nurhaci’s death was related to Zu Dashou. When Nurhachi was attacking Ningyuan, he was wounded by a cannon shot by Zu Dashou’s soldiers who were defending the city. Nurhachi, who was defeated and retreated, died of his injuries soon after. The emperor
Only then did Tai Chi ascend to the throne.
But for such a person, Huang Taiji still accepted him after he defected to the Qing and rebelled against the Qing.
The Fourth Master's voice was gentle, "...when Jinzhou was besieged, all ammunition and food were exhausted, and the people in the city killed and ate each other, Zu Dashou surrendered again...The reason why Emperor Wenzong let this person go is that, in addition to his own talents, he also
Yes, this person’s nephew is also famous.”
Who?
Lin Yutong had never paid attention to these before.
The Fourth Master laughed and nodded at her, "Who is it! Who is it! I see you have really started studying history books from the beginning. Zu Dashou is Wu Sangui's biological uncle, do you understand?"
It turns out that his nephew is Wu Sangui.
This is true! Without Wu Sangui, how could he easily pass the test? It can be seen that Huang Taiji was right to let go of his ancestors. Compared with thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, his father's hatred is nothing.
Yuan Chonghuan... Zu Dashou... As soon as these two characters came out, Lin Yutong's claws were numb. Really!
He would really pose a problem for himself. Lin Yutong looked at him sideways, "Why didn't you include Hong Chengchou's descendants?"
"I checked." Fourth Master was very frank, "But he has no descendants."
You really think so.
Okay, "You want to vindicate Yuan Chonghuan, right?" Lin Yutong asked him.
"Let Hongli go tomorrow to build an ancestral hall for Yuan Chonghuan. Let's go and pay our respects when we have the opportunity." said the fourth master.
Lin Yutong laughed, not that Fourth Master's method was unreliable, but she didn't laugh at it. She was laughing at Fourth Master's arrangement for Hongli. All the noisy things that showed his face were now Hongli's. For example, building a Martyrs' Shrine for loyal ministers.
, the old minister came to congratulate the fourth master on his birthday. There are so many ancestors living in the imperial mausoleum who are jealous of life and death. They run errands and give rewards for the fourth master, etc. Anyway, they are too busy to touch the ground. There are small things in this.
I haven’t heard anything from Hongli in half a year. I guess he was stared at by Fourth Master when he led me around, and I haven’t come back to my senses yet.
As a result, the fourth master not only rehabilitated Yuan Chonghuan, but also found the descendants of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty and made him a Marquis of Anle. He also gave a daughter of Anle Marquis to a concubine in Prince Jian's palace to become a Fujin. It was regarded as a marriage.
.
Lin Yutong didn't care about this. Today she summoned the daughters of the Yuan family and the ancestral family, as well as Dong Xiaowan, who was brought into the palace by Jiu Fujin.
The girl from the Yuan family is older, she is sixteen this year. Xu has a relationship with Liaodong all year round, and she seems to be more cheerful. Although the family situation is not good, her ancestors are different after all. After arriving in the capital, it is also very easy to interact with Han officials.
Frequent, showing a sense of confidence.
The ancestral family has always been in the capital, and the position of Zuoling is not high, but it is not low either. If this girl from the ancestral family is really drafted, she will definitely be selected.
But who rations whom, this is really a headache.
The key is if there is Hong Zhou’s wife here, how should she choose?
While talking to the three girls with a smile, he felt worried at the same time. Just when he was having a hard time making a decision, Bi Tao came in and whispered: "My fifth brother has something urgent to see me."
Hong Zhou is here?
"Take it to the side hall." Lin Yutong whispered, got up and went to change clothes, asking Jiu Fujin to help greet the guests.
As soon as the result was over, Hong Zhou rushed over and hugged Lin Yutong's leg, "Empress Huang, do you want to give your son a blessing..."
The news is quite good.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yutong didn't dare to struggle hard for fear of hurting him. "Get up and talk properly."
No! I won’t get up.
"My son will not marry anyone else." Hong Zhou looked like a tragic male protagonist. The boy, who was still in the stage of changing his voice, felt extremely wronged. "My son said that he would find his son's Ronger by himself..."
Why do I get goosebumps all over my body when I hear this? I really think you are Brother Jing.
When she heard about Brother Jing Ronger's joke, she felt uncomfortable all over.
"Can you speak properly?" You are not afraid that others will hear you with such a loud voice? If you throw it outside, you will really lose yourself as an adult.
Hong Zhou was so excited that he took out a handkerchief from somewhere to wipe away his tears, "Huang Eniang..." He turned three corners in one voice and wondered how he shouted it.
"Have you got a sweetheart?" Lin Yutong looked at him, why else would he be here in such a hurry. He just met the person today, and there will be some days until the matter is finalized. He was so anxious that he couldn't even wait for the guests to leave.
A shameful thing.
Hong Zhou's eyes were wandering, as if he was unwilling to admit it.
Lin Yutong pretended to leave, "Why don't you tell your Majesty Ama."
Don't dare!
Hong Zhou quickly grabbed Lin Yutong and said, "Mother Huang, the last time my son went to Uncle Jiu's garden, when he was appreciating plum blossoms, he really met a girl."
"Whose family does it belong to?" Lin Yutong, who is not opposed to free love, really feels that he is a good parent.
Hong Zhou chuckled and looked at Lin Yutong's expression carefully, "Actually, I don't blame them, they don't know who I am..."
Oh! You are so considerate! You know how to protect other girls. Is this because you are careless?
Lin Yutong held the tea and said, "Just tell me, I won't embarrass others."
Just because you're not embarrassed doesn't mean you like it in your heart. By saying this, I can't help but think that there's something wrong with that girl.
Hong Zhou felt uncomfortable for a moment and whispered: "...Didn't I ask my son to go enjoy the plum blossoms that day..."
Then the uncles and nephews all ran into the woods with their own agendas to look for their own Ronger. Then, he walked in and wandered aimlessly. He didn't know who others met, but he didn't know who he was.
I walked for less than half an hour, walking in circles but couldn't get out. I couldn't even touch anyone. It was really a ghost.
The plum grove was planted on the hillside, and he couldn't find the way back by wandering around blindly. He wondered if he could go to a higher place, where he could always see the road on the hillside.
Unexpectedly, before we reached the top, we vaguely heard someone talking.
One said: "Girl, please come down quickly, it will be terrible if others see you."
The other said, "Quiet, shut up. Get behind a rock."
It was obviously a conversation between master and servant.
Is there anything shameful?
The bad thing about people who are happy to have fun is that they are curious about everything. Go up and take a look, oh! The big brown bear hanging on the tree!
He thought so and couldn't help but said so.
As soon as she finished speaking, she threw a snowball at it. The little girl's voice was crisp and clear, "Who are you calling the bear? You are the bear, look at how bear-like you are!"
Who is a bear? Who dares to say that I am a bear?
Immediately he became unhappy. He rolled up his sleeves and started to fight with the wild girl, "Little girl, do you know who I am? Can you try to say something again?"
The little girl shrank her neck and glanced at the yellow belt around his waist. She was a little timid but still said firmly: "What can I do if I try? Who knew I beat you? Are there any witnesses?"
Are you still planning to beat me up?
It’s going to turn the sky upside down!
"You are so stubborn, right?" Hong Zhou took two steps forward, "Come down and see how I deal with you. If I don't spank you, you won't know what my last name is?"
Idiot! The yellow belt is hanging on. Can I not know your last name?
The little girl conveyed the contempt in her eyes to Hong Zhou accurately, "Why are you going down? Think I'm stupid too! Come up if you have the ability."
Come up, come up!
Hong Zhou was really good at climbing up trees. He put his robe away in his belt, glared at the maid who wanted to stop him but didn't dare to stop him, and climbed up the tree directly.
The little girl screamed and almost shouted out, then quickly covered it with one hand, fearing to attract someone. At the same time, she almost instinctively kicked her legs, trying to kick the other person down.
Hong Zhou was so shocked that he almost got kicked in the face and ruined his handsome appearance. He immediately started to pull his feet, and then pulled the boots off the girl's feet. With another force, he took off his socks together. Wen
When the hot foot was caught in their hands, both of them were stunned. Their eyes met for three seconds before they both realized what happened.
"This girl's legs are so good..." Hong Zhou recalled that he still had some unfinished thoughts. Lin Yutong was about to scold this boy for being shameless. He grabbed his feet and looked at her legs. Unexpectedly, Hong Zhou followed closely and said: "Lift your legs in the air."
I got up and kicked my son down..."
Lin Yutong: "..." It seems that the men of the Aixinjueluo family are of this type, and they can't survive without being beaten. Look at this, being kicked by someone, but they never forget it.
Hong Zhou didn't know what his mother-in-law was thinking, and he smiled in confusion at this moment, "...My son was not careful, but he pulled her when he fell, and then she fell too..."
Just fell on you? And then this or that?
The look on Lin Yutong's face told Hong Zhou what she was thinking, and he laughed again, "You guessed the front correctly, but not the back..."
She fell on top of him, then turned over and sat on his belly. She turned him over with strong hands to face down, and slapped him on the buttocks with a loud slap, which made his buttocks turn red.
She also threatened, "I don't know who you are, and don't even think about knowing who I am. If you dare to tell others, if you dare to cause trouble for our family in the future, I will tell others that you bullied me. Then you
You have to marry me. Marry me back... Hum hum! That's it, I'll beat you three times a day..."
When Hong Zhou talks about this now, he feels very ashamed when he thinks about it. Why was he so stupid at the time? He thought that when this little girl beat someone, her eyes were shiny and hairy, so why did she feel so itchy just looking at them?
Yeah. I felt quite happy for no reason after being beaten.
But after all, she is young and looks very powerful, but in fact she is just a powerful silly girl. She can only use her mouth but not her brain.
He was still a little worried at the moment, so he said this to Lin Yutong, "...You said that except for a son, who would dare to want such a girl? Without my protection, she will not survive more than two chapters in the storybook."
So? So what’s so good about this girl?
He can climb trees and is stupid and bold, which is not in line with the royal family.
Don't tell me about your good legs. Your Majesty will beat you up if you hear this.
"We've been talking about this for a long time, whose house is it?" Lin Yutong pointed towards the side hall, still busy.
"The daughter of Vice-Capital Commander Wu Shitu." Hong Zhou said with a hint of shyness on his face, "Wu Zaku family!"
Wu Zaku's family?
Lin Yutong frowned. If I remembered correctly in history, Hongzhou's Fujin family was originally the Wu Zaku family. Except for two trial marriages, Hongzhou had no other women. Later, they were granted the title of Xiangfujin. As for Hongzhou's sons and daughters,
Almost all of them were born to Wu Zaku. This at least showed that the relationship between the two was quite good. But now that the two met like this, there were such sparks. She really couldn't help but believe in this fate.
If this was really a good marriage, it would be a pity to break up Lin Yutong. If the fourth master knew Hong Zhou's thoughts, he would definitely not force him. She scratched her head, "You should go back first. I understand."
How can I do it if I just know it? You have to give me accurate words.
Lin Yutong glared at him, "Your Majesty Ama specifically talked about these two families, but you still don't understand what you mean? You should at least tell your Majesty Ama and ask us to discuss what to do?"
After sending Hong Zhou away, he talked to the Yuan family and the Zu family for a while and then sent them away. Only Jiu Fujin and Dong Xiaowan were left.
Jiu Fujin knew that he had nothing to do, so he resigned from the palace. Dong Xiaowan was left alone, and the girl was very nervous at the moment.
Lin Yutong chose her for another reason, and that was her name.
Her name is Dong Xiaowan.
This name is very taboo nowadays. For those who really want merit, they can accuse the Dong family of remembering the past. But this girl did not change her name!
Who is Dong Xiaowan?
It is said that Dong Xiaowan was a famous Qinhuai prostitute who fell in love with Mao Bijiang, one of the four princes of Jinling. When the Qing soldiers entered the pass, Mao Bijiang abandoned his writing and joined the army, defecting to Shi Kefa. They met each other when passing through Suzhou. Dong Xiaowan was willing to support each other with his body and follow him.
He served the country together. When the Qing army invaded and Yangzhou was in danger, Dong Xiaowan risked his life to accompany him. However, they got separated along the way and were taken in. Later, they were taken into the palace by Shunzhi. She went on a hunger strike in the palace and begged for death. How did she die in the end?
unknown.
With such a thing, you can imagine how taboo this name is.
"Do you know why I asked you to enter the palace?" Lin Yutong fiddled with the lid of the tea cup and asked.
"I don't know what I said to the queen." Dong Xiaowan managed to maintain his composure, his voice was not high, but his words were still clear.
"Who gave you this name?" Lin Yutong put down the teacup and asked.
"Father." Dong Xiaowan felt bitter in her heart, and when she said these two words, her mouth seemed to be full of bitterness.
Lin Yutong gave this father a label - crazy life!
Otherwise, who would give their daughter the name of a famous prostitute?! Yes, pursuing brothel girls was once the taste of these so-called literati. But to pursue and mourn her like this is really despising.
The reputation of being a scholar is all bullshit.
Lin Yutong raised his hand and pressed down, "Your father respects Dong Xiaowan who dares to resist so much, so why would he ask your aunt to be a concubine..." Still a concubine to the Manchu royal family.

It would be better for things like literary inquisition to occur less frequently.
Dong Xiaowan never expected it to be like this. She knelt down and kowtowed respectfully, tears streaming down her face. The days of worry were finally over.
"Go back and pack your things." Lin Yutong explained, "Your brother is going to study at Taixue University. You are in the palace and have a rest every ten days. It will not hinder the reunion of your brother and sister."
"Dong Xiaowan's great kindness will never be forgotten." It was the first time that she spoke her name so confidently.
Lin Yutong asked Bitao to send someone out, and Zhang Qilin came in, "Master Eight, please see me."
"Come on." Lin Yutong nodded, just as he didn't have to go back and forth to change clothes.
Seeing Zhang Qilin smiling, Ba Ye walked forward. Bi Tao met him and hurriedly walked away to avoid the roadside.
Ba Ye nodded towards Bitao and glanced at the girl behind Bitao. The two of them passed each other...
