Before the New Year, Lin Jue's life was a bit busy.
Because Guo Caiwei was seriously ill and the weather in the capital was very cold, the little princess felt very bad. Although the little princess often came to live in the capital in the past, she would always return to Hangzhou in the cold winter. Even the winter before last, it was the Queen Mother's birthday.
At that time, the little princess did not come to Beijing with Prince Liang and his wife because she was not used to the weather in the capital. After all, the little princess was born and raised in the south, and she was a pampered person. She was different from ordinary people who were thick-skinned and thick-skinned.
Lin Jue was a little panicked. The imperial doctor from the palace suggested that under such circumstances, it was better to go back to the warm south, which would be beneficial to both adults and the fetus. The couple had no choice but to discuss it and finally made the decision.
It was decided to send the little princess back to Hangzhou to raise her. She will return to the capital tomorrow when the weather gets warm in spring.
Of course, the little princess was reluctant to leave, but she valued the child in her belly even more. Strictly speaking, this was her and Lin Jue's second child. The first one had been forced to abort due to circumstances, and this was the second child.
If the two of them were gone again, the little princess thought she would be unable to bear it. In this case, she could only make a choice between reuniting with Lin Jue or raising a baby and settling down. The result is self-evident.
The land route was not allowed, and Guo Caiwei could not bear the bumps of the carriage, so she could only take the water route. Fortunately, at this time in previous years, the water route was also impassable. The Bianhe River and the channel to the north of the canal were all frozen, making it impossible to pass. But this year is special.
A severe drought in summer and autumn caused a 70% grain harvest in Gyeonggi and surrounding areas. A heavy rain later alleviated the drought, but it was too late. Therefore, the imperial court had to transport more grain from the south of the Yangtze River.
In the north, stabilize food prices and provide relief to the people.
You know, Gyeonggi Road and the surrounding drought-affected roads have a population of nearly 10 million, all of which are transported from the south. What a huge project it must be. In the middle, there was a case involving Lian Guoduan of the Sansi Yamen, involving the Lin family in Hangzhou.
Therefore, water transportation was delayed for some time. All these factors combined resulted in the fact that until the end of November, fleets carrying grain were still plying on the canal.
Fortunately, the imperial court made arrangements in advance and transferred three iron-headed ships from Dengzhou Jinghai Navy to break the ice for the fleet on the canal. Jinghai Navy was one of the few naval forces in Zhou Dynasty because it was stationed in the Bohai Sea.
We are in the northern land again, so we have large ships and iron-headed ships to cope with freezing conditions. This time, the iron-headed ships came in handy in times of emergency.
Because of this, the little princess was able to take a boat back to Hangzhou by water, otherwise Lin Jue would never agree to Guo Caiwei's return by land. In this mid-winter season, taking the long and rugged land route would definitely require a journey of several thousand miles.
of human life.
On the morning of the last day of November, Lin Jue put Guo Caiwei on a high-rise ship bound for Hangzhou. Lin Jue made some modifications inside and outside the entire ship to make Guo Caiwei as comfortable as possible. At the same time, the food and clothing expenses on the road were spent.
He packed a cabin with his belongings and brought three doctors with him to prevent accidents. Seven or eight personal maids were uploaded together. In addition, Shen Tan also decided to personally bring more than a dozen guards to escort the princess back to Hangzhou. Everything
Lin Jue felt relieved after everything was safe.
The couple said goodbye in the boat hall, drinking tea instead of wine and talking earnestly.
"Weier, I feel really guilty that I can't accompany you to Hangzhou. So I offer you tea instead of wine to apologize. Tomorrow in the spring, when the weather is warm, I will personally go back to Hangzhou to pick you up. I wish you a safe journey and lots of happiness.
Take care." Lin Jue raised the tea cup and sighed.
Guo Caiwei picked up the tea and said with a smile: "Weier understands your husband's thoughts. You can't help yourself. When you become an official of the imperial court, you will naturally be under the control of the imperial court. If it weren't for this child, Weier would never leave your husband."
But I'm not in the capital, so husband, you need to take more care of yourself."
Lin Jue smiled and said, "Does Wei'er have any instructions for me?"
Guo Caiwei smiled and said, "What are your instructions?"
Lin Jue said: "For example... I was told not to drink too much, not to go in and out of flower streets and willow alleys, not to fool around with other women, and so on."
Guo Caiwei laughed and said: "You know it yourself, why do you need me to say it. Hey! How should I put it? I, Guo Caiwei, am not a chicken-hearted person. It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. You just feel a little guilty for me.
.The matter about Miss Bai... I don’t want to object, husband, can you rest assured? Isn’t this what you wanted to tell me during this time, but you were embarrassed to say it? "
Lin Jue's face felt slightly feverish. Indeed, he had never discussed Bai Bing's matter with the little princess. Lin Juesheng was afraid that the little princess would go crazy. Although she was a generous and graceful person, she brought women into her home one after another, which was so heartless.
No matter how lenient a person is, he can't stand it. He hesitated to speak several times, but he just didn't know how to speak. It was obvious that the little princess Bingxue was smart and had a smart mind. When she left today, she actually talked about it. Lin
I do feel a little guilty in my heart.
"Weier's heart is really as broad as the sea. I don't know what to say. I swear that I will never provoke other women from now on. That's it. Even if the seven fairies in the sky appear, I won't be tempted. I will keep this for the rest of my life.
I’m just living with you guys. God is above me, if you violate this oath..."
"Husband..." Guo Caiwei reached out and covered Lin Jue's mouth: "No need to swear, this is not a big deal. As long as you have me in your heart, I don't mind how many women you have. If you don't have me in your heart, I will tie you up."
How about being by your side? As your wife, I just want to advise your husband to spend more time on business and be proactive and use your talents. I am not asking you to seek promotion and to be honest, I would rather you not be an official.
We can live a quiet life with less worries. But you are a man and have great talents. Naturally, you can't waste your talents. You have to do something big. Wei'er doesn't want you to waste your time and come back to it.
Regret. Nothing else."
Lin Jue was shocked when he heard this. Guo Caiwei is very perceptive, and some things in her heart cannot be hidden from her. After coming to the capital and experiencing a series of things, Lin Jue was actually quite disappointed with the court and officialdom, and also lost his mind.
Enterprising spirit. Especially when Lin Bonian was deposed and became the head of the family. The future direction of the Lin family is in his own hands. In the previous life, Lin Boyong made the decision and Lin Bonian chose the wrong direction of the Lin family. The crisis of the destruction of the Lin family seems to have been lifted.
After that, Lin Jue suddenly felt that his goal in this life was suddenly gone, and he became lazy and confused.
The relationship with Fang Dunru as master and apprentice gradually faded away. As the prince's son-in-law, he actually didn't trust Guo Bing and his son too much. He became more and more familiar with the affairs in the officialdom, and became more and more tired of this kind of thing.
Lin Jue's mentality was changing. If it weren't for the fact that the Lin family was now under heavy pressure, and that he knew from the vague memory of the previous life that Prince Liang's palace had been destroyed, and that some of his personal affairs had not yet been resolved, Lin Jue even felt that he
One day he will break out, resign and leave.
This kind of inner things cannot be seen in front of others, but in private, Lin Jue's state is noticed by Guo Caiwei. Whether a person is aggressive or muddle along is naturally unknown to outsiders, but the pillows who get along day and night
The people around her could see it clearly. Guo Caiwei had actually wanted to have a heart-to-heart relationship with Lin Jue for a long time. When she said goodbye today, she naturally said it.
"Husband, don't blame me for talking too much. I'm not teaching you how to be a human being. You are a very smart man, and you act in a measured way. You don't need me to say too much. I'm just reminding you so that you won't regret it in the future. This is me.
As your wife, I should remind you that if you don’t say it, it would be unkind on my part.” Seeing Lin Jue’s serious expression, Guo Caiwei hurriedly explained softly.
Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "What Wei'er said is true. I have indeed had some changes in my mentality recently. What Wei'er said just now was like a revelation. It's time for me to make a good adjustment. Wei'er, I'll marry you."
I don’t know how many blessings I have accumulated in my lifetime. If I have a good wife, I will live up to it in this life.”
Guo Caiwei smiled sweetly and said: "How can I be so good? If Wei'er gets a husband like this, it is a blessing. It's getting late, you should get off the boat, and I should leave too. Husband, take care!"
Guo Caiwei stood up and gathered her train to salute Lin Jue. Lin Jue stood up and walked over, hugged the little princess, stretched out her mouth and kissed her. The little princess hurriedly pressed her lips against Lin Jue's mouth, blushing and whispered: "Mo
If this is the case, someone is here."
There were indeed several maids waiting around in the cabin, looking askance at the two of them.
Lin Jue smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? We are husband and wife, and we are about to part ways, why can't we be intimate and affectionate? We have not been intimate recently, and you are going to Hangzhou to stay for several months. Are you going to miss me to death?"
Guo Caiwei let out a sweet cry, then hugged Lin Jue's waist, raised her head and closed her eyes. Lin Jue kissed a pair of red lips painfully, and then stopped for a long time. Several maids on the side were blushing, and they wanted not to look, but they couldn't help but look.
