711-720

Chapter 711 Didn't realize that Madam was teasing him

. Although Xihe and her brother are only more than a year apart, they are very different mentally.

Yuan Chongyu is somewhat young and mature, while Xi Le is an optimistic and big-hearted little girl.

She could understand what her mother said, but she had no personal experience.

So she asked: "Then what should I do?"

Lin Xuezhu was waiting for her to ask, so that he could take this opportunity to educate his daughter.

He said: "You have to let them see your excellence! When you grow up, you will understand that even if you suppress them with your identity or force, even if they dare not resist on the surface, they may not really be true in their hearts. Convinced. Only if you really show your results can they be convinced."

"But they talk about my mother like that, and my mother can't show them the results." Xi Le was puzzled, "Is it possible that my mother will go to the academy to prove it to them? Lin Xuezhu thought the

little girl's idea was quite interesting, so he followed her words and said, "My mother can't go, but you can prove it to them on behalf of my mother! For example, you can read better than them. This means that you can read better than them." "My mother did nothing in the palace, at least she taught you well. Your words and deeds can also reflect the character of your father and mother, because children are the mirror of their parents,"

Xi Le frowned ! , with a thoughtful look on his face.

After a while, she seemed to have figured it out, nodded and said: "My child understands, mother."

Education successful!

Lin Xuezhu felt very pleased.

Although she didn't know whether Xi Le, a lively and active little girl, could really implement what she said today.

But at least the little girl can listen to what she says, which is a good start.

The mother and daughter talked for a while, and then the carriage arrived at the palace gate.

After getting off the car, I changed into a soft sedan and headed to Chunhua Palace.

When the sedan was still some distance away from Chunhua Palace, Lin Xuezhu saw Eunuch Quan waiting at the entrance of Chunhua Palace, looking around on tiptoes.

Seeing Lin Xuezhu, he trotted to the soft sedan and saluted: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is waiting for the little princess in the Qinzheng Palace. He sent his servants to welcome the little princess here."

Lin Xuezhu couldn't laugh or cry.

Her husband came again, and he was extremely partial to his daughter.

I can't blame people for saying that my daughter was my old father's little lover in his previous life.

hehe.

His son came all the way back from the east and never saw him so enthusiastic.

When Lin Xuezhu thought of this, she picked up Xi Le and handed it directly to Eunuch Quan from the soft sedan chair.

The whole father-in-law suddenly felt frightened, but he still subconsciously took the joy and held it in his arms.

"Take it." Lin Xuezhu rolled her eyes at Quan's father-in-law and ordered the sedan bearer to continue moving forward.

Eunuch Quan was confused - had he offended the queen?

Quan Gonggong asked Luo Hong with his eyes. Luo Hong sighed softly, shook his head and left.

Father-in-law Quan was even more frightened - it was over, not even Aunt Luo Hong could save him.

"Let's go and see our father." The little girl Xi Le used her white and chubby little fingers to play with the string on her father-in-law's hat.

"Yes." Quan Gonggong agreed, but he was very worried in his heart.

He wanted to ask the Queen what mistake he had made, but felt that this was simply unnecessary.

If the master wants to blame the slave, does he need to find any reason?

Along the way, he recalled everything he had done these days, but he couldn't find any obvious mistakes.

So, why is the queen so angry?

Did something happen outside the palace?

After Quan Gonggong sent Xi Le to Qinzheng Hall, he immediately sent people to inquire about it.

If someone outside the palace offended the queen, he would have someone take care of it.

But the people who were sent out asked around and found out nothing.

People who followed the queen out of the palace said that the queen went to the Lin Mansion to sit for a while, picked up the little princess and then returned to the palace. Nothing special happened.

As for why the queen was angry, no one knew.

Compared with the uneasiness of Eunuch Quan, Yuan Xiu and Xi Le seemed happy and happy in the Qinzheng Hall.

When father and daughter met, Yuan Xiu inevitably asked about what Xi Le had seen outside the palace.

Xi Le just told the story to his mother, and now he happily tells it to his father again.

However, she did not talk about her classmates' comments about her mother.

She knew that her father would be angry after hearing this.

If my father is angry, someone will be in trouble.

Although she didn't like what her classmates said, she didn't want them to be angered by her father.

From beginning to end, Yuan Xiu kept smiling and listened to Xi Le's words with interest.

When it comes to happiness, I will laugh a few times together.

If Qinzheng Palace had no roof, all the love from the old father would have to float out.

I saw Yuan Chongyu coming to Qinzheng Hall after leaving school.

He has been like this these days. After school, he goes to Qinzheng Palace to learn how to handle state affairs with Yuan Xiu.

Seeing Xi Le, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes, but he still restrained and politely said, "Sister is back."

"Brother!" Xi Le ran towards him with his little hands open.

Yuan Chongyu smiled and caught the little girl.

After a moment, he let go again.

Men and women sit on separate seats at the age of seven. Although he is not yet seven years old, he is getting there soon.

Even a biological sister must maintain corresponding etiquette.

"Chongyu, come and sit down." Perhaps it was because of his joy today that Yuanxiu's attitude was a little gentler than before.

Just as Yuan Chongyu was about to sit down as he was told, he heard from outside the palace, Eunuch Quan: "Your Majesty, the Queen is here with someone. She said she wants to invite the young prince to Chunhua Palace."

The person who came was Aunt Luohong, Eunuch Quan. Finally got a chance to ask her.

After Luo Hong's explanation, he understood that the queen was angry that the emperor was too doting on his daughter, but was very strict with his son, and felt that the emperor was partial.

After hearing this, Grandpa Quan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no such thing as an overnight feud between husband and wife. The queen and the emperor can get along well no matter what, as long as they don't offend the queen.

Then Father-in-law Quan understood.

The emperor was looking forward to the return of the little princess. As soon as the little princess arrived at the palace, the emperor sent someone to pick her up.

At this moment, the little prince had just finished school, and the queen immediately sent someone to pick him up. She was using her actions to protest against the emperor.

Father-in-law Quan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Look, their emperor and empress have so much fun with each other.

Even the angry ones are so cute.

However, it is understandable that the emperor prefers Princess Xile.

Who can look at such a pretty, soft and waxy girl and not fall in love with her!

As for the little prince, as the future heir to the throne, the emperor taught him strictly for the sake of this country.

How can boys and girls be treated in the same way?

Eunuch Quan wanted to see the emperor's reaction to what the queen did. However, Yuan Xiu had no reaction and didn't even notice that Lin Xuezhu was nodding at him.

He said to Yuan Chongyu: "It's just right, let's go there together and have dinner at Chunhua Palace."

Eunuch Quan: "Show up at Chunhua Palace——"

Chapter 712 The child never thought about the future

. When Yuan Xiu entered the house with Xi Le in his arms, Lin Xuezhu saw the conspicuous father and daughter at a glance.

There are no outsiders in the palace, so the father and daughter simply let go of their nature, right?

Then, she saw Yuan Chongyu following behind, who seemed not to be her biological child.

"Come here Chongyu." Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but feel sorry for her son.

Yuan Chongyu was very obedient and walked to Lin Xuezhu.

Lin Xuezhu smiled, pinched his little face, and asked, "Is Chongyu hungry?"

"It's okay." Yuan Chongyu replied, "My sister just said she was hungry."

"My slave sent someone to pass on the food. " Luo Hong responded smartly and stepped out.

Lin Xuezhu glanced at Yuan Xiu speechlessly.

She clearly called her son over, so why did this conspicuous bag come with her?

Yuan Xiu saw Lin Xuezhu's expression and was a little puzzled.

Does Madam dislike him?

What's wrong? When the lady just left the palace, who offended her?

Thinking of this, Yuan Xiu subconsciously glanced at Eunuch Quan who was guarding the door.

Although his head was lowered, Eunuch Quan observed the expression of the emperor and empress with his peripheral vision: Your Majesty, this matter is not the fault of others, you should reflect on it yourself.

Yuan Xiu: ...

The family of four sat down at the table, and the maid began to pass the dishes.

Today's dishes were specially ordered by Lin Xuezhu, and they were all cooked to the liking of Yuan Chongyu and Xihe.

Look, as a mother, although she is here to welcome her daughter back to the palace, she will not neglect her son.

Unlike the father...

Xile was indeed hungry, licking his lips and looking at his father and mother alternately.

Even if the elder didn't move his chopsticks, she didn't dare to move either. This was Da Xiaoli's rule.

"Eat." Lin Xuezhu finally picked up the chopsticks.

Then, the other three people also picked up their chopsticks.

The happy little meaty hand is holding the chopsticks, the little meaty face is bulging, and the food is delicious.

Lin Xuezhu asked Yuan Xiudao: "Xi Le will go to the girls' school in the Imperial College tomorrow. Which officials in the court have agreed to send their daughters to the Imperial College?"

"Master Wen's youngest daughter is about the same age as Xi Le. I asked her to do it. In addition, I also found four young ladies from military commanders' families to make up a lucky number." Considering that Lin Xuezhu was not in a good mood just now, Yuan Xiu deliberately trembled when he spoke.

"Yeah." Lin Xuezhu responded lightly.

These days, she has listened to the reports from the secret guards and has gained an understanding of the officials' complicated moods.

Otherwise, some people just like to look for trouble.

Knowing that the emperor wanted to open a girls' school in the Imperial College, many people disapproved of it, and they didn't want their daughters, who were trained to be virtuous and virtuous, to go to the girls' school to learn anything.

However, after all, this is an opportunity to accompany the only princess in the dynasty.

I gave up rashly, feeling a little bit unwilling in my heart.

Therefore, the mentality of many officials is very wavering.

On the one hand, I was afraid that the emperor would choose his own daughter.

On the one hand, I was afraid that the emperor did not like his daughter.

Anyway, I feel unhappy.

After listening to the secret guard's report, Lin Xuezhu sneered.

These old Biden really think they are some kind of hot cakes.

As the saying goes, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Those officials who have serious thoughts of male superiority and female inferiority will inevitably educate daughters who are submissive and have difficulty in becoming elegant.

She doesn't want such a princess reading companion.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but sigh, Yuan Xiu chose the daughters of four generals, what a wonderful choice.

First of all, military generals are not like civil servants who chatter all day long.

They call themselves rough people, but rough people have the advantage of being unruly, that is, they don't stick to trivial matters.

Daughters from military generals' families are not as burdened as those from civil servants' families. They are so delicate and frail, and most of them are free and easy in their own way.

Secondly, it is said that the less people have something, the more they want to pursue something.

Many generals were slightly less educated, so they paid special attention to their children's education.

Faced with the opportunity of letting their daughter enter the Imperial College to study, they would not be as pretentious as some civil servants.

And Yuan Xiu's move confirmed what Lin Xuezhu said to the officials at the beginning: The wheel of the times is rolling forward and will not stop for anyone. If you don't keep up with the times, you will be abandoned by this era.

Those civil servants like to be pretentious, so let them be as pretentious as they like.

Who says that the children of military generals can only practice martial arts and go to the battlefield?

The children of military generals can also study and take the imperial examinations to repay the country with their knowledge.

This is a disruptive era, and nothing is impossible for everyone.

Lin Xuezhu thought of this, and a smile appeared on his lips unconsciously.

Yuan Xiu was eating on the surface, but in fact his peripheral vision never moved away from Lin Xuezhu's face.

Seeing her smile, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Madam is happy again.

Yuan Xiu also smiled involuntarily.

Just as he was smiling, Lin Xuezhu suddenly glared at him.

Yuan Xiu's smile froze on his lips, neither smiling nor not smiling.

Father-in-law Quan was not surprised when he saw this scene.

The foundation of the emperor and the queen.

In the court, the emperor has the final say, and the queen gives the emperor face.

In the inner palace, the queen has the final say, and the emperor obeys the queen in everything.

However, the queen is not the kind to be pampered.

If she is unhappy, all she needs is a look, and the emperor will understand and the matter will be over.

Sure enough, after Lin Xuezhu expressed his dissatisfaction, he ate as usual.

After the meal, the family gathered around and talked for a while, and then Yuan Xiu went back to Qinzheng Hall.

Xi Le was also tired, so he was carried by Luo Hong and went to sleep in the side hall.

Lin Xuezhu kept Yuan Chongyu here because he had something to say.

Yuan Chongyu sat upright, looking like he was listening attentively.

Lin Xuezhu looked at her son's meticulous look and sighed inwardly.

He said, "Chongyu, my mother wants to ask you something."

"Mother, please tell me." Yuan Chongyu looked at Lin Xuezhu gently.

As Lin Xuezhu spoke, he suddenly hesitated again.

How do you ask your child if he feels his father's favoritism?

The moment you ask, it's a kind of hurt.

Lin Xuezhu thought for a long time and said: "Chongyu, you are different from Xile. She can live in peace and be a carefree little princess for the rest of her life, but you are destined not to live an easy life. Have you ever blamed me? Father and mother?"

Yuan Chongyu obviously didn't expect that his mother would suddenly say such things to him.

He thought seriously for a long time and replied: "Mother, my child has never thought about the future. My child feels that living every day now is the most important thing for me to do. And my current life, my child feels very satisfied. "

"Really?" Lin Xuezhu didn't believe it.

Don't little children feel the pressure?

She believes that children should be more sensitive to stress than adults.

Chapter 713 He won. Yuan

Chongyu straightened his sitting posture again and said to Lin Xuezhu: "Mother, my child knows that you think your father treats your child too harshly, but in fact this is the way father and your child get along."

How do Xiu and Yuan Chongyu get along?

Lin Xuezhu felt that this word was quite fresh when it came out of her son's mouth.

After meeting his mother, he still didn't believe it. Yuan Chongyu said: "Actually, my father is not always harsh when teaching his children. When he explains to his children how to deal with government affairs, his father is very patient. When his children ask questions, his father will do his best to answer them. "

Lin Xuezhu: My child, you are still too young. Your father taught you carefully because he wanted you to take over as soon as possible!

Yuan Chongyu didn't know the mother's psychological activities, and continued: "Although the mother, the child, and sister Xile are all born from the father and the emperor, as the mother said, we each have different things to bear. The child is willing to shoulder the responsibility of this country. He is willing to share the burden of his father, the emperor and his mother, and he is also willing to care for his sister so that she can have a worry-free life. The only way for a child to do these things is to study diligently. "

Lin Xuezhu: Very good, this child is a self-PUA. master.

Lin Xuezhu asked: "Chongyu, since you entered school until now, have you ever felt tired or lost?"

"Never." Yuan Chongyu said: "Since I was a child, I have watched my father, emperor, and mother sacrifice themselves for state affairs. After thinking about it, he made up his mind to become a wise person like his father, the queen, and his queen. The boy liked the principles in the book, and he also liked to observe the behavior of his father, the queen, and the queen. The boy found these very interesting. "

Lin Xuezhu: On the power of role models.

Well, since her son was born to eat this bowl of rice, she didn't have to worry about it.

Even so, she still warned her a lot, "Chongyu, if you have any trouble in your heart in the future, you must come to your mother, she will help you."

"My child knows." Yuan Chongyu's lips showed trust. Smiling, and confessing his heart again, "The child used to be only interested in books, thinking that if he learned a lot, he would naturally understand the principles of life. It wasn't until he traveled with his mother that he realized that many things in the world cannot be learned from books. There are no detailed explanations of the various methods of doing things. Therefore, the child now prefers to observe how his father and mother act, and then understand them with what is written in the book. "

Lin Xuezhu: Oh... He also gave me a detailed explanation. I've realized some truth.

Okay, her son doesn't need to worry for the time being, he should think about finding a partner for his aunt.

In half a month, it will be Lin Chengzhang's 40th birthday.

Ancient people had short lifespans, and most lived to be forty or fifty years old.

If you are over seventy, you are considered to have lived a long life.

Therefore, if you want to celebrate your birthday at the age of forty, no one can find fault with it.

What's more, Lin Chengzhang's identity is there.

Under Wen Xiuqing's control, the entire Lin family has begun preparations for Lin Chengzhang's 40th birthday.

The scented posts were sent to all parts of Beijing, and the Lin Mansion was even more joyful.

Originally, Lin Chengzhang planned to have a meal with the whole family on his 40th birthday and keep a low profile.

But in order to create an unintentional opportunity for Sister and Master Wen, he temporarily changed his decision and decided to make a big deal.

This kept Wen Xiuqing very busy.

Lin Jiayuan also knew that her brother was doing this for herself, so she tried her best to help Lin Jiayuan.

After Lin Xuezhu learned about this, he simply sent Luo Hong out.

Luo Hong transferred ten young eunuchs and fifteen palace maids from the palace, all of whom were capable, and lined up in a long line to go to the Lin Mansion.

With the blessing of these people, the birthday banquet was organized smoothly.

Normally on such occasions, officials would bring their families to attend.

Male guests are entertained by the male host, and female guests are entertained by the hostess.

In principle, male guests and female guests sit at separate tables, but in fact there is no interaction at all.

Lin Chengzhang planned to use this opportunity to bring Lin Jiayuan and Master Wen together.

On the day of the birthday banquet, many guests came early.

The Queen's father's birthday banquet must be positive.

Wen Daxiuzi was on the right track, coming neither early nor late, and he still brought his eldest daughter with him.

Lin Chengzhang and Wen Xiuqing immediately paid attention to the father and daughter when they saw them.

The couple went straight to meet him.

Just then, a first-grade official arrived with his wife, a few steps ahead of Wen Dashuzi.

Seeing Lin Chengzhang and his wife approaching, the first-rank official raised his hand and was about to have a warm handshake with Lin Chengzhang.

However, Lin Chengzhang and Wen Xiuqing passed by him.

The road... passed.

The first-rank officer and his wife were stunned on the spot.

In an instant, they all became nervous.

In the whole court, the two people with higher status than them were the two in the palace.

Could it be...

The two of them both turned around and were about to kneel down to say goodbye when they saw the hands of Lin Chengzhang and Wen Dafanzi clasped together passionately.

First Rank Officer: What do you mean?

That's not how it works.

However, Lin Chengzhang and his wife cannot be blamed for this.

The main thing is that Wen Dashuzi's outfit today is a bit too eye-catching.

A dark purple outer shirt, paired with a dark red middle coat, looks like a flowery dress.

First-class official: Red and purple, stinking shit. This is not good for smelling the clothes of a big fan.

First-class official's wife: We didn't lose unfairly.

The couple was relieved and entered the Lin Mansion hand in hand, focusing on a sensible person.

At this time, Wen Dafanzi took the brocade box from his daughter and handed it to Lin Chengzhang.

"Master Lin, I know that Master Lin is busy with official duties and tired. Previously, my daughter made a cushion for Xiaguan. Putting it on the back of the waist can relieve fatigue, so I asked my daughter to make one for Master Lin. It's a small gift. I hope Mr. Lin won't take it too seriously. "

Since Lin Chengzhang entered the court, all he has seen is aggressive, arrogant words mixed with some unreasonable images. It is rare to see him be so polite and polite. He also had some thoughts of "people should not be judged by their appearance".

He took the brocade box and said with a heartfelt smile: "Gifts are the most important thing. Lord Wen is thoughtful."

Wen Xiuqing also said: "I didn't expect Lord Wen to be so careful, which makes me, a wife, feel a little ashamed."

" No matter what, it's just that we are both officials in the court, so we have a deep understanding of it." Wen Daxizi was very happy, he made the right bet this time.

This is the queen's father. I have never seen anything good.

An official like him with little luck would definitely not be able to compete with others for financial resources.

If you want to fight, you can only find another way and fight with your heart.

If there is a 10% chance of failure and a 30% chance of success but a 70% chance of failure, he will definitely choose the latter.

What's the saying that the queen often says?

Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle.

Haha, he won.

Chapter 714 Internal Hemorrhoids and External Hemorrhoids Mixed Hemorrhoids

This person is not an innocent little white lotus.

He has been an official in the court for many years, and although he is relatively honest, he still has the basic ambition to make progress.

Moreover, he is not so arrogant and pedantic that he thinks that he can achieve great success by relying solely on his own ability.

Appropriate flattery still needs to be slapped. After all, multiple friends mean multiple paths, and multiple enemies mean multiple pitfalls.

He sprayed everywhere in the court, which was also a disguised form of flattering the emperor.

As for why he offended so many people, he could still remain calm and not afraid of digging more holes for himself.

It's because everyone has to make choices.

Since he has chosen the emperor, of course he must give up all those who oppose the emperor.

As the saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too, greedy people will end up with nothing.

Wen Daxiuzi felt that all he had to do was hug the empress's thigh tightly.

Even if you can't get promoted, you can at least keep your current position as a trusted minister. It's also a kind of freedom to criticize whomever you want.

Therefore, he took it as an opportunity to attend Lin Chengzhang's birthday party.

The cushions made by his daughter may sound shabby, but they are made with care.

From materials to workmanship, everything is exquisite.

You will know when Master Lin opens the box.

Lin Chengzhang and his wife quickly welcomed the people in.

In the mansion, Lin Chengyao and Lu Mo were in charge of entertaining the male guests, and Lin Jiayuan and Lu were in charge of entertaining the female guests.

Seeing that Lord Wen was coming, Mrs. Lu pushed Lin Jiayuan out.

And Lin Chengyao, who rarely had some discernment, accompanied Lin Jiayuan to entertain them.

Lin Jiayuan was a little embarrassed at first, but after thinking about it, she plucked up the courage.

Seeing that the second brother was also coming, he had nothing to worry about and greeted him generously.

"You two, please come in." Lin Jiayuan took the initiative to stand beside Miss Wen and led her to the female guest's seat.

As he walked away, he said politely: "Thank you Mr. Wen and your daughter for the honor. It's rare for my brother to hold a birthday banquet. I hope you two can have a good time today."

Wen Dafanzi immediately said politely: "Miss Lin, you are polite. "

The word "girl" made Lin Jiayuan tremble all over.

She is in her thirties, older than that unmarried old girl.

It's just that because she doesn't have a husband, she is not suitable to be called madam, so she can only be called girl.

Lin Jiayuan felt that Mr. Wen was really thick-skinned.

She got goosebumps when she heard the name, but he didn't feel any psychological burden when he called it, and his face looked as usual.

It's not that Lin Jiayuan dislikes thick-skinned people. On the contrary, she thinks being thick-skinned is good.

Like her eldest niece, she has a very thin skin, so she can accomplish whatever she wants to do when she goes out.

After living for more than thirty years, she finally understood that shame is the most annoying thing.

As her eldest niece said, if a person has no shame, he is invincible...

Lord Wen, if he wants to save face, he cannot be a big troll.

Lin Jiayuan said that she is trying to be thick-skinned.

Looking forward to the day when she can be as invincible as her eldest niece or Mr. Wen.

When they arrived at the place where men and women were seated separately, Lin Chengyao took Master Wen away, and Lin Jiayuan took away Miss Wen.

For Lin Chengyao, communication is not his strong point.

But because of the girl's marriage, she had to barely exchange a few words with Wen Daxizi.

He started, and was worried about how to continue, but unexpectedly, Wen Daxizi took the initiative to pick up the topic, turned around and started chatting with him.

Of course, Wen Dashouzi spoke with the intention of trying to win the favor of the Queen's natal family.

But to the ears of Lin Chengyao, who wanted to help the girl but had nothing to talk about, it seemed that he was saved by the big troll.

During the conversation, Lin Chengyao felt that this big fan was not only very eloquent, but also had many novel ideas, which were comparable to his eldest niece's brain circuit.

In other words, I heard that the big troll is favored.

First of all, his uncle, the current emperor, was completely assimilated by his eldest niece.

The couple's three views gradually became unified, and they were consistent both internally and externally.

Then, the Wen Da Tuzi assessed the situation and quickly became ideologically consistent with the Emperor and was very adaptable.

So, in disguise, he had a fight with his eldest niece.

When Lin Chengyao thought of this, he could only sigh: fate.

Don't look at Wen Da Tsaizi, he is a very smooth talker, and he can often irritate the ministers in the court without saying anything to refute.

But when he chats with others, he doesn't just talk on his own, but is very good at bringing others into his topic.

At this moment, Lin Chengyao, under his guidance, actually exported some of his own opinions.

The two started talking about household matters, then gradually talked about some of the emperor's political opinions, and finally they talked about medical skills.

Wen Dataizi had a chronic illness that had been a problem for many years, which made him very distressed.

But because the stubborn disease lies in an indescribable place, I can only endure it silently.

When his wife was alive, he could occasionally talk to her.

Now that his wife is gone, he doesn't even have anyone to complain to.

Just as he was chatting with Lin Chengyao, Wen Dafanzi pulled him to a deserted place and whispered his pain in a low voice.

When Lin Chengyao heard this, he realized that the troll was suffering from hemorrhoids.

He knows that this disease is very painful when it attacks, and it can be suppressed by taking medicine, but it is easy to relapse.

Repeatedly, the patient suffers from it.

He had discussed it with his eldest niece before when he was reading medical books.

At that time, his eldest niece said that if the hemorrhoids grow outside the backyard, you can cut them off with a knife. After the wound heals, you can prevent recurrence by paying attention to your diet, pay attention to your work and rest, etc.

If it grows in the back yard, there is a high probability that there is no way to deal with it with current medical methods. Only by keeping clean, avoiding sitting for long periods of time and getting cold, eating a light diet, and taking medication can we control the condition.

So, Lin Chengyao asked Wen Dafanzi: "Master Wen, may I ask, are your hemorrhoids internal, external hemorrhoids, or mixed hemorrhoids?"

Wen Dafanzi looked confused after hearing this, lowered his voice and asked : "What's the difference between these three?"

Lin Chengyao is more open-minded in discussing his illness than Wen Datou.

But at this time, there were many people and he was afraid of being overheard. When he learned that Mr. Wen had heard of his privacy, he lowered his voice and explained the differences between the three types of hemorrhoids.

Wen Daxiuzi frowned and became even more confused.

He didn't know what happened inside and outside the back court.

No one can touch his own backyard if he has nothing to do.

All he knew was that he often had pain in his anus and occasionally had blood in his stool.

After hearing his description, Lin Chengyao clicked his tongue and said, "Sir, if there is blood in the stool, it means that the condition is very serious."

After saying this, Lin Chengyao couldn't bear it.

How come the person who finally fell in love with his sister got hemorrhoids?

No, as an older brother, he had to do something for his sister.

So he said: "Let's do this, Mr. Wen, when you are free, I will go to your house and treat you."

Chapter 715: Mr. Wen said something

interesting Hearing that Dr. Lin was going to treat him, the big troll was flattered.

If you are an official in the court and your official position reaches a certain level, you can ask the imperial doctor if you are sick.

But inviting an imperial physician does not mean that all imperial physicians can be invited.

For example, they couldn't hire Lin Chengyao, an imperial physician with the highest rank and the highest medical skills.

Now, Doctor Lin has actually agreed to treat him. Isn't that a great honor?

I heard that the big troll thanked him repeatedly, and he was sincere.

He felt that it must be because of the emperor's favor and trust in him that the Lin family was so enthusiastic towards him.

There are real benefits to being a favorite of the emperor.

The two of them chatted more and more passionately. Just as they were about to start a new round of topics, they saw a boy running in in a hurry.

"Second Master, the eldest master is looking for you. There are many distinguished guests outside, and no one is greeting them. The eldest master asked you to go quickly."

Lin Chengyao then realized that his job today was to welcome guests, but in the end he was following the guests. I lost myself in the adults' chat.

He suddenly felt ashamed, stood up quickly, bowed to Wen Dafanzi and said, "Master Wen, I'm sorry to be with you."

Wen Dafanzi was also ashamed, stood up and saluted, and watched Lin Chengyao leave.

Lin Chengyao walked to the door and happened to see Jiang Qishuang.

Jiang Qishuang stared at him and said reproachfully: "There is something important going on in my house today, why did you not show up for so long?"

Based on her understanding of her husband, she speculated that he might not have thought of something and his attention was drawn away. , will not return for a long time.

Lin Chengyao saw his wife's blaming intention and said sheepishly: "I was chatting with Mr. Wen, and while we were chatting, I forgot about welcoming guests. It's my fault. Brother and sister-in-law are not angry, are they?"

"It's okay. "Jiang Qishuang asked curiously: "What did you talk about with Mr. Wen?"

Lin Chengyao immediately became excited and said, "We talked a lot, and we talked about everything. Mr. Wen is really interesting."

Jiang Qishuang immediately understood . Come on unusual.

Her husband is not sociable, so he is more suitable to stay in one place and study medical skills. Who is it? He seems quite excited to be able to talk to her husband like this.

A wave of guests happened to arrive, and Jiang Qishuang quickly poked Lin Chengyao and asked him to help welcome the guests.

Mrs. Lu came over and asked Jiang Qishuang, "What did Master Wen say?"

Jiang Qishuang was a little surprised.

She was talking to her husband just now, and her in-laws heard her?

Seeing Jiang Qishuang's expression, Mrs. Lu took the initiative to explain: "I am also concerned about sister Jia Yuan's life events. I heard you talking about Sir Wen, so I listened carefully for a while."

Jiang Qishuang said: "I see what my husband means. Regarding this Mr. Wen is quite satisfied. You know that he is not good at words. He seemed to have been chatting with Mr. Wen for a long time. "

Ms. Jiayuan also said that Mr. Wen was interesting in what he said. " Sister Yuan is a quiet person, so she probably doesn't like Mr. Wen being so talkative. Now it seems that it's more important for the two of them to complement each other."

Jiang Qishuang also laughed after hearing this, "This Mr. Wen is really old and young. "Xianyi, my eldest niece and my niece-in-law both think highly of Mr. Wen, which shows that Mr. Wen is a lovable person."

Mr. Lu nodded in agreement.

After working for a while, the guests were almost all here.

At this time, an announcement came from the door, "The Emperor and the Queen have arrived -"

With a crash, everyone at the banquet stood up and walked out of the queue towards the door.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Everyone knelt down.

Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu were dressed in regular clothes, not too luxurious, and looked very friendly to the people.

The courtiers are used to this.

All the royal pomp and imperial majesty, these two couples did it very perfunctorily.

When the mood strikes, a trip to Lin's Mansion is like going back to her parents' house.

"Get straight." Yuan Xiu said lightly.

After everyone stood up, Lin Chengzhang and Wen Xiuqing moved Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu to the top.

After the two sat down, others sat down one after another.

The courtiers expected that the queen would come to attend their father's birthday party, but they did not expect that the emperor would also take the time to come.

But when I think about it, it makes sense.

With the emperor's deep affection for the queen, it was rare for his old father-in-law to celebrate his birthday, so how could the emperor not come to support him?

Yuan Xiu first greeted Lin Chengzhang a few words, and the care revealed in his words made the courtiers extremely envious.

They couldn't help but think that if their daughter had married King Xiang back then, would they be as honored as Master Lin now?

It's a pity that there are no ifs in everything.

On the contrary, the queen, with her sharp eyes, discovered such a great treasure as Prince Xiang, and captured Prince Xiang before anyone else could take action.

At that time, there was a rumor in the capital that the girl from the Lin family had relied on Prince Xiang through dirty means, which forced Prince Xiang to marry her. Therefore, she was ridiculed and despised by the whole capital.

But now, if we don't recall it deliberately, who would still think of this past event?

As the saying goes, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The queen won all the emperor's love, and no one even mentioned those unbearable past events.

The courtiers had mixed feelings in their hearts.

As everyone knows, most people's destiny is in their own hands.

If Lin Xuezhu hadn't had such scheming methods and never gave up on Yuan Xiu on the way to exile, how could Yuan Xiu have turned from disgust to deep love for her?

Unfortunately, people can only see what others get, but cannot see what others pay.

They are always envious and jealous, but don't know how to reflect on themselves.

Of course, Lin Xuezhu didn't care what others thought. Her focus was on Wen Daxizi.

It would be impossible for Mr. Wen to sit at the same table with the emperor and empress at such a banquet.

And because today is Lin Chengzhang's birthday banquet, except for the emperor and empress, everyone at the main table is from the Lin family.

Lin Xuezhu said: "The osmanthus flowers on Zhuangzi are in bloom. Yesterday, I sent more than twenty pots to the palace. It is also a coincidence that today is my father's birthday. I and the emperor brought all these osmanthus flowers here, as well as from various places. There are all kinds of chrysanthemums presented. After dinner later, how about we go to the back garden to enjoy the flowers?"

The queen started to speak. If anyone else had any objections, they naturally agreed and took another photo. The emperor and empress have excellent taste in flattery.

Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu didn't take these nonsense seriously, they just said a few words and started the dinner.

During the banquet, officials kept coming to toast, first to Lin Chengzhang and his wife, and then to the emperor and empress.

Lin Chengzhang drank a few drinks and it was too much.

He was already a heavy drinker and rarely attended such gatherings.

This was one of the few times today when he drank so much.

Lin Chengzhang's face turned a little red.

Lin Xuezhu knew at a glance that her father was the kind of person who lacked alcohol metabolizing enzymes.

In other words, alcohol is not easily metabolized in his body and will cause damage to the body.

Then, Lin Xuezhu's expression changed.

He stared at the man who was toasting Lin Chengzhang without moving his eyes.

Chapter 716: The quality

of wine is the quality of one's character. The person making the toast was originally quite excited.

After waiting in line for so many rounds, it was finally his turn to drink with Mr. Lin.

But as soon as he picked up the wine glass, he felt a cold chill, like the tip of a knife piercing his body.

The adult trembled all over, thinking that the emperor was glaring at him, and quickly glanced at Yuan Xiu secretly.

However, Yuan Xiu was reaching out to pick up food.

The adult immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the emperor did not suspect that he was trying to form a clique for personal gain just because he wanted to drink with Mr. Lin.

The adult's eyes also relaxed, and then they relaxed on Lin Xuezhu's face.

Oh, why is the queen staring at him?

The mood that had just been relaxed suddenly became tense again.

Being stared at by the Queen is worse than being stared at by the Emperor.

If you are stared at by the emperor, you can still quibble, but if you are stared at by the queen, the emperor will not listen to the quibbles at all.

The adult was completely confused.

Why on earth was the queen glaring at him?

Is it possible that the queen knew about his previous secretly taking a third concubine into the palace?

Oops, that's so sloppy. I was so drunk before, so why did I do something like this?

Everyone in the capital knew that the emperor did not take concubines.

Although there is no explicit objection to courtiers taking concubines, anyone who takes too many concubines will be rejected by the emperor.

If anyone dares to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife, he will basically have no future in his official career.

The reason, everyone agreed, was that the queen was too jealous.

Therefore, if the queen knew that he had taken in three wives at once, would she let the emperor terminate his official position?

No one could have imagined that in just a short moment, so many thoughts had flashed through the adult's mind.

At this time, Lin Chengzhang also raised his wine glass to the adult.

The adult kept his smile unchanged while clinking glasses with Lin Chengzhang tremblingly.

Then, he noticed that the queen's eyes fell on the wine glass in his hand.

Could it be that...

a strong understanding arose in that adult's heart.

He was instantly blessed and said to Lin Chengzhang: "Mr. Lin, drinking alcohol is harmful to your body. It's your fault. Just take a sip."

After saying that, he raised his head, straightened his neck, and poured a glass of wine down his throat.

He choked because he was so nervous.

The spicy taste went straight to Tianling Gai, choking him and making him confused.

Lin Chengzhang quickly helped the person and asked if everything was okay.

The adult didn't dare to do anything wrong. He quickly covered his mouth and turned back to his seat.

The people behind the toast were very eye-catching, and each said to Lin Chengzhang: I did it, Mr. Lin took a sip.

Lin Chengzhang was indeed a little dizzy. Hearing this, he was not polite and just took a sip.

The maid poured him a glass of wine, and he could drink it with twenty people, which was very efficient.

Therefore, Lin Xuezhu did not wink at the other adults who were toasting, but instead ordered the girl to make a cup of honey flower and fruit tea for Lin Chengzhang.

The water used to make the tea was Lingquan water. After Lin Chengzhang drank it, he suddenly felt that the smell of alcohol had dissipated a little.

After the ministers paid tribute to Lin Chengzhang, they also paid tribute to Yuan Xiu as usual.

Lin Xuezhu strongly disapproved of this behavior, but the wine table culture was also a culture, and she couldn't stop everyone from drinking just because she didn't like it.

But she also felt that as the monarch of a country, Yuan Xiu should always keep a clear mind.

Drinking too much alcohol can cause damage to a person's nerves, which is not a good thing.

Therefore, every glass of wine Yuan Xiu drank was poured directly into the space by Lin Xuezhu.

Yuan Xiu had no objection to this.

He was not a drinker to begin with, but on the contrary, such social interactions made him feel quite boring.

Especially if the person toasting someone is not someone he likes, he will be even more lazy to drink.

It's just a matter of taste so as not to spoil the fun.

The lady's behavior was very much in line with his wishes.

However, pretending to swallow even though there is no alcohol requires some acting skills.

Halfway through drinking, Wen Xiuqing winked at some officials' wives.

The ladies then whispered to their husbands.

The central idea is just one thing: Wen Daxizi is trusted by the emperor and the empress. Even if he is usually not popular in the court, he can still take advantage of this festive opportunity to drink and make friends.

What if I hear that the big troll is a temperamental person, and after receiving this kind offer, he can show his favor from now on!

Although the adults were reluctant, they thought that their wives had spoken, and what they said made sense.

In line with the principle that it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies, they all went over to toast Wen Daxizi.

Wen Daxiuzi has some capacity for drinking, but not much. He is a bit stronger than Lin Chengzhang.

But I can't stand it. Once someone starts to toast, others will follow.

Those who had not planned to toast the big troll saw some colleagues going to toast. They didn't understand it at first, but gradually they came to understand.

Those people must be trying to get Mr. Wen drunk and make him look embarrassed.

As a result, other colleagues also responded, and more people went to pay homage to the big troll with their drinks.

Wen Dashouzi is a strong person himself.

In the court these years, because Yuan Xiu gave him room to develop, the stronger parts of his character became more prominent.

There were many people toasting, but he refused to admit defeat.

Don't refuse anyone who comes, drink when you are allowed.

And those colleagues who toasted did not treat him as considerately as they treated Lin Chengzhang.

In the end, Wen Dashouzi actually drank more than today's birthday boy Lin Chengzhang.

Miss Wen saw that her father had drunk too much and was a little anxious.

After thinking for a while, she said to Wen Xiuqing: "Mrs. Lin, my father has drunk too much. Can you let him have a rest by borrowing your precious land?"

Get the person away first to avoid being toasted again.

Since we are in the Queen's natal family, no one dares to make any mistakes.

When Wen Xiuqing saw Wen Daxiuzi's appearance, she quickly called two boys to help him to the guest room in the inner courtyard.

She comforted Miss Wen and said, "Just now, the Queen sent someone to prepare scented tea for my master to sober up. I will send some to Mr. Wen later. Miss Wen, don't worry. If Mr. Wen is not present, Miss Wen will feel inconvenienced." If so, I can ask someone to take Miss Wen to the guest room to rest for a while.

"Thank you very much, Mrs. Lin." Miss Wen said politely.

She had come with her father. If his father was not here, it would not be appropriate for her to stay alone, so she followed the little maid to the guest room.

After sending the father and daughter away, Wen Xiuqing and Lin Xuezhu looked at each other and said nothing.

The toasts made by the adults just now were deliberately arranged by Wen Xiuqing.

She wanted to see how Mr. Wen tasted his wine.

As the saying goes, the quality of your wine reflects your character.

People who are not good at drinking wine also have questionable character.

Therefore, she ordered the boy early in the morning to take good care of Wen Dashouzi and write down his behavior after being drunk.

No wonder she designed a test for Wen Datai, mainly because the whole family was very cautious about Lin Jiayuan's second marriage.

Chapter 717 Today's matter is a bit complicated.

After the wine was almost drunk and the food was almost eaten, the banquet was broken up and everyone headed to the back garden under the leadership of Lin Chengzhang and Wen Xiuqing.

The fragrance of osmanthus in golden autumn fills the entire back garden with a strong smell of osmanthus.

Wen Xiuqing asked people to set up small games commonly played by officials in the four corners of the back garden.

For example, there are games like Tou Hu, Go, poetry, and riddles, etc., just in case those who don't like flower viewing can still have some entertainment.

As soon as everyone walked to the back garden, they saw the sister of the Minister of Rites took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose.

Her movements were a bit exaggerated. Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw it.

The Minister of Rites said quickly: "Your Majesty, Queen, Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, I'm really sorry. My sister, Wei Chen, is allergic to pollen, so she has to cover her mouth and nose whenever she goes to a place with lush flowers."

The matter of the female family members, Yuan It's not convenient for me to say anything.

Lin Xuezhu took over the conversation naturally, "In that case, why didn't you tell me earlier and followed us here?"

The Minister of Rites said: "A small amount of pollen is nothing, but there are too many osmanthus in this garden. My sister is not blessed, appreciate it . I can't afford such a beautiful osmanthus. I would also like to trouble Mrs. Lin, can you arrange a guest room so that Wei Chen's sister can wait there?" After

hearing this, Wen Xiuqing quickly called a maid over to let him go. Take people to guest rooms.

Everyone continued to enjoy the flowers, chatting and laughing along the way.

Generally speaking, the atmosphere is quite harmonious.

About half an hour later, a little maid ran over, looking panicked.

The little maid was not wearing a servant's uniform of the Lin Mansion. Just by looking at her clothes, no one could remember whose family she belonged to.

Someone said: "Bold, whose maid are you? How can you be so unruly in the master's house? Are you planning to kill the emperor by frightening him?"

The little maid was frightened and knelt down with a plop.

While kowtowing, he said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive me. This servant is a maid in the residence of the Minister of Rites. It was because of the sudden incident that I bumped into Your Majesty and His Majesty." "

Tell me what happened," Lin Xuezhu said.

This little maid, just talk about it if you have something to do. What are you doing with so much foreshadowing?

The little maid trembled, "Go back to the Emperor and Queen, our girl is missing."

"Ying Niang?" The Minister of Rites squeezed out from the crowd, looking a little panicked.

The little maid nodded and said: "Just now, the girl said she wanted to change clothes, so she asked the maid from the Lin Mansion to take her there. I remember the way, and when I got there, I asked the maid from the Lin Mansion to do the work first, and then I took the girl back to the room. Okay. But on the way back to the room, the girl said that the bracelet she was wearing was missing. She might have dropped it on the road, so

she asked the slave to look for it. When the slave found it, she couldn't find it. After that, everyone was dumbfounded.

That's it?

Someone said: "Your girl is still in the Lin Mansion. What's there to be anxious about? She won't be lost. She probably went the wrong way and is looking for her."

Others also agreed, "Master Lin today . Birthday, the emperor and the queen are here, there is no safer place in the whole capital than the Lin Mansion. This little maid must have done nothing and made a fuss."

After saying that, everyone looked at the Minister of Rites.

That look seemed to say: Next time you go out, bring some safe servants with you. Isn't it a joke that the servants in the official house of the Minister of Rites are so ignorant of etiquette?

The old face of the Minister of Rites turned red, and he hurriedly explained: "Weichen's sister doesn't know her way around. Sometimes she takes the wrong path in the house. I think this is why she is so anxious."

"Yes." "The little maid said quickly.

Lin Xuezhu didn't say anything, but Wen Xiuqing sent someone to find Mother Ma and ordered her to find someone.

At this time, they heard a splash, and then someone shouted: "Falling into the water, someone fell into the water!"

Everyone's hearts tightened suddenly, and they hurriedly walked in the direction of the sound.

Lin Mansion has guards, many of whom are knowledgeable.

By the time everyone arrived, the person who fell into the water had already been rescued.

That person was soaked from head to toe, and her messy wet hair stuck to her face, making it difficult to identify her appearance.

All I know is that this is a woman.

"Sister!"

"Girl!"

The Minister of Rites and the little maid in the house screamed at the same time.

As soon as these two people shouted, Wen Xiuqing's face changed.

The faces of the people who just said the little maid was rude also changed.

It turns out that the sister of the Minister of Rites is really a dangerous person.

If you don't know the way and walk blindly, you can walk into the water by yourself.

I wrongly blamed that little maid. This matter should not be taken lightly.

The servants of the Lin Mansion reacted quickly. They found a quilt nearby and wrapped the sister of the Minister of Rites.

The Minister of Rites felt sorry for his sister, so he leaned over and said, "Yingniang, why did you fall into the lake?"

"Brother..." Yingniang's face was full of grievances, and she shed tears before she finished speaking.

Things are awkward.

The Minister of Rites and his sister came to the Lin Mansion to celebrate his birthday, but his sister fell into the water and almost had a serious accident.

If this Lin family was an ordinary official family, they would definitely apologize to the Minister of Rites at this moment and reflect on themselves for not taking good care of them.

By coincidence, the Lin Mansion is the Queen's natal family.

Therefore, most people thought that this young lady did not know the way and wandered randomly. She fell into the lake and disturbed the emperor's happiness. She should come out and admit her mistake.

But this Yingniang, I don't know if she was frightened or something else, she kept crying and looked extremely aggrieved.

Everyone immediately felt that the sister of the Minister of Etiquette did not know much about etiquette.

With the emperor and empress in front, even if you have a huge grievance, you still have to speak up.

Besides, it's nothing for her to cry like this on someone's birthday.

The Minister of Rites also felt that something was wrong and said quickly: "Sister, if you have anything to say, just say it and don't cry anymore."

After saying that, he secretly glanced at Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu, whose faces were as dark as water.

Lin Xuezhu's expression was particularly baffling.

Ordinarily, what happened today should be an accident.

An accident, since it happened, it has its own reason.

But why does she feel weird?

Lin Xuezhu glanced around.

Boy, what did she see!

A man was lying in the grass by the lake, sleeping soundly.

He slept soundly, even snoring slightly.

However, because everyone's attention was attracted by Na Yingniang, no one saw someone walking in the grass.

"Come, go over there and have a look." Lin Xuezhu ordered.

Following her gaze, everyone also spotted the guy sleeping wild.

Two young men went over and helped him stand up.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the man who was sleeping soundly was officially a troll.

"Wen Dapei... Why are you here, Mr. Wen?" someone exclaimed.

Everyone looked at Ying Niang and then at Wen Dashouzi, and felt that today's matter was a bit unusual.

Chapter 718: Three parts sympathy, three parts helplessness, and four parts warning.

Come to the Lin Mansion for a birthday banquet and watch some gossip. The courtiers and family members immediately became excited.

Wen Dashouzi was obviously still drunk. After being picked up by two boys, he was still muttering to himself.

"What are you going to do? Who sent you? Who wants to harm me?" He looked like he was being framed.

Lin Xuezhu was too embarrassed to look at it.

This person is a big troll, either because he knows that he always trolls others and is afraid of retaliation from others.

Otherwise, he just has that persecution delusion.

Under the questioning of Wen Datai, the scene became noisy for a while.

Lin Xuezhu turned her head and looked at Yuan Xiu: "Husband, please take all the adults and their families back to the back garden. I will follow my mother to deal with the situation here."

Yuan Xiu also saw that there was something fishy about today's matter.

Having so many people stay here to watch the fun is not a good thing, whether it hurts the face of Mr. Wen or the face of the Minister of Rites.

Madam is right. Evacuate the scene quickly before asking about the situation.

Yuan Xiu gave an order, "My dear friends, let's continue admiring the flowers."

After saying that, he turned around and headed towards the back garden.

The officials and their families were quite reluctant to leave.

But the person leading the way is the Emperor, who dares not to follow!

He had no choice but to walk back three times.

Outside the guest room, only Lin Xuezhu, Wen Xiuqing, the Minister of Etiquette and his sister, Wen Dafanzi, and a few close servants were left.

"Mother Ma, take the guest to the guest room to freshen up." Lin Xuezhu said.

Judging from the state that Ying Niang was in, she probably wouldn't be able to speak for a while.

Lin Xuezhu asked again: "Have you prepared the scented tea for sobering up? Give Mr. Wen a few cups."

"There is scented tea in the guest room, it's already prepared." A maid replied.

Lin Xuezhu nodded, pulled Wen Xiuqing to choose a spacious guest room, and walked in.

Wen Dafanzi was supported by someone and walked side by side with the Minister of Rites.

The Minister of Rites was walking when he suddenly glared at Wen Daxizi.

Wen Daxiuzi felt it and turned to glare at the Minister of Rites.

Just at this time, Lin Xuezhu sat down on the chair.

When she saw the dispute between the two people, she felt that something was fishy.

"Tell me, what happened just now?" Lin Xuezhu asked.

The Minister of Rites opened his mouth and was about to reply, but he didn't know what he thought of and held back.

Lin Xuezhu saw that he was hesitant to speak, and smiled slightly, "Minister of the Ministry of Rites, I remember that a few months ago, Mr. Wen once complained to the court that the Ministry of Rites was not doing things well, and he had a quarrel with you. What happened today, did you have anything to do with that person? Is the incident related to the incident in Japan?"

This is the only possibility that Lin Xuezhu can think of.

However, the Minister of Rites was scolded by Mr. Wen, so he should have put a sack on him and beat him up. How come it was his own sister who fell into the water?

Lin Xuezhu was puzzled.

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Rites quickly explained, "The queen misunderstood. The ministers did not hold a grudge because of the Lord's advice. What happened today was purely accidental."

Accident?

Lin Xuezhu sneered and said, "Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites, do you know why I asked the emperor to leave with everyone first?"

"The queen did it to save some face for Wei Chen and Wei Chen's sister." replied the Minister of Rites.

"You are smart." Lin Xuezhu said: "Normally, the emperor should decide the matter between you two adults. But if the emperor takes action at this time, it will become a dispute in the court. And if I and my mother stay to deal with it, then It's a matter in the inner house. Today, a female family member accidentally fell into the water during a banquet. I just think it's because the Lin family didn't entertain the guests well, so as not to arouse people's suspicions

. .

Lin Xuezhu was unmoved and said: "As the censor, Mr. Wen is responsible for supervising all officials. But for Mr. Wen's involvement, even if the evidence is conclusive, the emperor will verify it clearly before he takes action. The Ministry of Rites The emperor did not punish the minister for his incompetence and only fined him three months' salary. If the minister of rites feels it is unfair, he can discuss it with the emperor. "

Wei Chen didn't dare." The minister of rites was sweating on his forehead.

After typing the Minister of Rites, Lin Xuezhu turned to Mr. Wen again and said, "Master Wen, you can tell the difference between the court and private life, right?"

The implication is, don't watch others in private just because you have slandered them in court. It's not pleasing to anyone.

Business matters must be done in public, you should complain in court, but you should live your life in private.

Wen Dajunzi quickly said: "Back to the queen, I dare not distinguish between public and private affairs."

"That's good." Lin Xuezhu said: "Then Master Wen, can you explain why you were lying drunk on the side when the sister of the Minister of Rites fell into the water? What?"

As soon as these words came out, Wen Dashouzi immediately lowered his head, looking extremely guilty.

Lin Xuezhu and Wen Xiuqing looked at each other, and their eyes said: There is something fishy about this.

Looking at the Minister of Rites, he looked complicated, as if he knew something, but also seemed confused.

Lin Xuezhu's curiosity almost exploded.

What are these two people hiding?

Lin Xuezhu slowly picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

She was not in a hurry. If these two people didn't tell the truth, she would just sit and drink tea.

The banquet in the mansion was over, and Yuan Xiu and Lin Chengzhang came to look for them.

See who can outsmart whom!

Sure enough, after spending a while, Wen Daxiuzi looked around and said: "Queen, what I want to say involves privacy, can you..."

"You all go down." Wen Xiuqing heard that this was what he wanted to say. Clear the place.

The servants listened to their master's order, retreated one after another, and closed the door.

Well this time, there were only four people left in the room.

Wen Dataizi then said, "Queen, it's Weichen's fault. Weichen was drunk today, and when he was in a daze, he saw a woman walking in from the door. The woman was babbling and didn't know what she was talking about. What? Wei Chen was drunk and thought she was too verbose, so he took her out of the room. He originally wanted to throw her out, but the woman stepped on the air and fell into the lake. Wei Chen was so frightened that he almost woke up and shouted for help. He saw that there were many people coming. Wei Chen was afraid that he could not explain clearly, so he could only pretend to be drunk and fell into the grass on the side... He thought he could escape. Unexpectedly, the empress was so sharp that she found Wei Chen.

" Lin Xuezhu laughed, "According to you, is it my fault?"

"Of course it's Wei Chen's fault. Wei Chen drank too much. I drank and made a mistake." Wen Dashou's head lowered.

The face of the Minister of Etiquette turned dark, and he opened his mouth and said: "You are such a big snort, and you don't even have a draft to tell lies. You said you just wanted to throw people out, but the lake is a foot away from your door. You This throw will throw the person directly into the lake."

Thinking about how scared his sister would be if she fell into the water, the Minister of Rites couldn't help but speak out.

Wen Dashouzi glanced at him, his eyes were meaningful, with three parts sympathy, three parts helplessness, and four parts warning.

Chapter 719 It's really weird

. Lin Xuezhu didn't believe what Wen Datai said.

As the Minister of Rites said, the artificial lake is a foot away from the door of the guest room.

Unless the big troll is King Kong, how else can he throw a living person into the lake at once?

However, she seemed to realize something after looking at Wen Dashou's palette-like eyes.

The Minister of Etiquette, however, was someone who didn't know how to look at people's eyes, and continued: "Young Master Wen, please make it clear to me today in front of the Queen and Mrs. Lin. My sister is a female, and she must not be shunned by you. His innocence has been stained."

After hearing this, Wen Datai stopped doing it.

"What has ruined your innocence? You hypocritical dog official, the explanation I just gave you is the most honorable. Don't force me to tell the truth, you will not be able to get off the stage when the time comes."

The Minister of Etiquette was shocked.

Could it be that it was really what he thought?

Probably not, my sister is not that kind of person.

There was a hint of uncertainty in the eyes of the Minister of Rites, but that was all he said. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing to give in now?

What's more, I still give in to Wen Datai.

Hey, it's enough to be sprayed in the court, but do you have to be threatened by him for attending a birthday banquet?

The Minister of Rites was impulsive and said with strong momentum, "Then tell me, what's going on?"

"Are you sure?" Wen Daxiuzi asked.

The Minister of Rites hesitated for a moment, but thought, given the character of the Wen Da Tsaizi, if he hadn't justified his mistake, he would have spoken out everywhere, so how could he be so obscure?

Perhaps, this matter was due to him being at fault, and he was trying to make things mysterious here to obscure everyone's vision.

The Minister of Etiquette felt that he still had to believe in his sister's character, so he said: "Just say it, who is afraid of you."

"Okay." Wen Dafanzi knelt down as if he had received some permission.

"Queen Mingjian, Wei Chen was drunk and was resting in the guest room. The sister of the Minister of Etiquette suddenly barged in. I can't remember exactly what she said. I only remember a few words, which seemed to be admiration, admiration, Although Wei Chen was drunk, he still had sense. As soon as he started to persuade her that it was inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone, she not only refused to listen, but also walked towards Wei Chen and carried her away in anger. Out. But because I was drunk, I didn't see her while walking, so I took her directly to the lake. Just like what Wei Chen said just now, let the Queen decide

. , Lin Xuezhu and Wen Xiuqing both seemed to understand something.

However, they did not expect that some middle-aged men, such as those who had lost their wives and were hated by everyone in the court, took the initiative to embrace him. This was something they did not expect.

I thought that the second marriage would not be so complicated, but there is someone who can't stand it, it's Yong.

This forced Lin Xuezhu to pay attention to how popular Wen Dashouzi was.

Just when Lin Xuezhu's alarm bells were ringing and the sense of crisis was intensifying, the Minister of Rites spoke up.

"Wen Dafanzi, you don't want to slander anyone. Although my sister is a widow, she doesn't like a guy like you who spits shit. If you taint her innocence like this, do you think I'm dead?"

Wen Dafanzi was cold. He hummed: "How did I taint her innocence? Just now I made up an excuse to make everyone look decent, but you didn't accept it and insisted on letting me tell the truth. I have already warned you, if you tell the truth you will It's even more shameless, don't you believe it? Now that I have said it, you are saying that I am full of shit, and you really agree with what the Queen said!"

"You!" The Minister of Etiquette was speechless for a moment. , but judging from the rise and fall of his chest, it was obvious that he was very angry.

"Okay." Lin Xuezhu raised her hand to stop the two people from continuing to quarrel, and said: "When I sent Mr. Wen to the guest room, didn't my mother send two servants to serve him? Just call them over and ask. "

Queen, please wait a moment." Wen Daxiuzi said: "Back to the queen, don't involve more people in this matter. I am a widower who has a bad reputation in the court. He is thick-skinned and has been criticized." A few words don't matter. But the sister of the Minister of Rites is already a widow. There are so many troubles in the house of widows, so let's save some face for her. After the Minister of Rites returns, he should take good care of his sister and don't let her cause trouble again. "

Good guy, this guy has good intentions and is considerate of others, but he has such a mouth that he deserves a beating whenever he opens his mouth.

The Minister of Rites was a little moved when he heard the first half of the sentence.

When he reached the second half of the sentence, the half-grown old man's expression changed again.

The guilt I had just felt because I heard that the big troll was thinking about his sister also disappeared.

"Wen Dafanzi, what are you talking about? If you have any dissatisfaction with me, just come to me and don't make trouble with my sister."

Wen Dafanzi was not to be outdone, "I'm not wrong either. As a woman, is it okay to break into a drunk man's house? If you don't control him, it will only be your family that makes a fool of yourself!" "What's wrong!" "

Okay ! Seeing the two people arguing more and more fiercely, I felt like my head was buzzing. After being yelled at by her, both of them stopped. Lin Xuezhu raised her voice and said to the people outside: "Go and see Grandma Ma. If you have served her well, please come over."

"Yes." The servant's voice sounded. Only then did the Minister of Rites and Wen Dafanzi realize that there was someone else outside the door. Listening to the sound, the servants should be standing far away from this room, and the normal speaking volume would be inaudible. But they were roaring very loudly just now...

"Don't worry, people who are loose-mouthed will be betrayed." Lin Xuezhu said without saltiness. The thoughts of the Minister of Rites and Wen Dafanzi were exposed by Lin Xuezhu, and they each lowered their heads in shame. Lin Xuezhu's ears were finally clean, so clean that she could drink a few more sips of flower and fruit tea.

After about a stick of incense, Mother Ma came over with Yingniang. Yingniang had changed into clean clothes, but her hair was not completely dry, giving her a slight smell of weakness. "See the queen." At this moment, Yingniang's mental state recovered and she could speak normally. Lin Xuezhu said: "Stand up and speak.

Tell the truth about what happened between you and Mr. Wen just now. Don't worry, none of the people in the room will tell these things." Ying Niang heard Lin Xuezhu say this Asked, he shrank and became silent again. Lin Xuezhu felt that she couldn't understand it.

If what Wen Dafanzi said was true, then this Yingniang was quite brave. Why is such a brave person so timid now? This Yingniang is really weird.

Chapter 720: Do you have any misunderstandings about gentlemen?

Lin Xuezhu looked at Ying Niang's cowering look and said, "I advise you to tell the truth. Your brother and Mr. Wen almost had a quarrel just now because of you. You also You don't want the affairs of the back house to affect the court, right? "

Sometimes, in order to hear the truth, you need to slap someone, which can also be said to be a threat.

Sure enough, when Yingniang heard that this incident had such a big impact, she raised her head and glanced at her brother.

Seeing her brother's face ashen, Yingniang lowered her head and said, "It's Yingniang's fault. Yingniang shouldn't have done it at all. She shouldn't have barged into Master Wen's room secretly just because she admired Master Wen..."

She hesitated. Before he finished speaking, the Minister of Rites trembled, almost unsteady and about to faint.

"Master Wen." Lin Xuezhu winked at Wen Dafanzi.

There were no servants in the room. Wen Daxizi understood and quickly took a step forward to support the Minister of Rites.

Things are pretty good up to this point, at least it shows the camaraderie between colleagues.

It's a pity that the big trolls have such mouths that they just can't be left at a disadvantage.

He said into the ear of the Minister of Rites: "See, I didn't lie to you, nor did I taint your sister's innocence."

With one sentence, the body of the grateful Minister of Rites immediately softened.

At this moment, he just wanted to pass out.

What is this!

"Minister of Rites, please sit down." Lin Xuezhu pointed to the chair below.

Wen Dafanzi quickly helped the Minister of Rites to the chair and sat down.

The Minister of Etiquette hated iron and said, "Mother Ying, how could you do such a thing? Under the melons and plums, you don't care about your own reputation?"

As he spoke, he suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, today's birthday banquet is , I was going to bring my wife here. But yesterday, my wife said that she was not feeling well and asked me to take you out to relax. Could it be..."

His face became even more ugly.

Yingniang nodded, "Sister-in-law knew that I admired Mr. Wen and wanted to help me, so this happened."

"Oh my God!" The Minister of Rites put his hand on his forehead, trembling so much that he couldn't speak a complete sentence.

Ying Niang said tremblingly: "Brother, Ying Niang is confused, Ying Niang is wrong."

Hearing this, Lin Xuezhu exchanged a look with Wen Xiuqing.

Wen Xiuqing's eyes were full of worry.

Lord Wen is so in demand, this Yingniang even did such a thing that disregarded her reputation for Lord Wen.

If you want to hear that Lord Lin is the son-in-law of the Lin family, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

Lin Xuezhu knew what her mother meant, but she was not the one to give up easily.

She thought for a while and winked at Mother Ma who was standing aside.

Mother Ma stepped forward, Lin Xuezhu whispered something to her, and Mother Ma nodded and retreated.

The Minister of Rites was a little alert and stared at Mother Ma's back until he saw her going out.

But because he was in Lin Mansion, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

After thinking about it, I felt that it was my sister who caused all this.

If she walks and sits upright, she will naturally not be afraid of others gossiping.

After a moment of silence, he sighed again and said to his sister: "You are no longer as calm as you were when you were young. All your years have been in vain! When you go home, stay in the back house for me. Don't even think about going out again."

"What do you mean by the words of the Minister of Rites?" Lin Xuezhu couldn't stand it and his expression changed.

The Minister of Rites had just calmed down a bit while sitting on the chair, when he heard this, his legs softened again and he fell to his knees.

"Queen, forgive me. This is all because Wei Chen's sister was confused and disturbed Mr. Lin's birthday banquet. Wei Chen will definitely visit again someday and solemnly apologize."

Lin Xuezhu gave him a cold look, "That's not what I said. "

The Minister of Rites was confused, "What does the queen mean?"

Lin Xuezhu said, "If a woman has someone she admires, why would she act so treacherously?"

After hearing this, Yingniang raised her head in surprise. Looking at Lin Xuezhu.

Lin Xuezhu said: "The Minister of Rites should not approve of what I have done in the past few years, right? In the future, if women are allowed to take the imperial examination, will the Minister of Rites also oppose it?"

The Minister of Rites grabbed the ground with his head and said tremblingly: "Wei Wei. I don't dare."

"Don't you? You dare to promote your idea of ​​male superiority and female inferiority in front of me. Why, do you want to lock your sister in the house and not let her go out? Are you abusing your family members?"

"Wei Chen is wrong." The Minister of Rites now knows that he has caused a big trouble.

The whole court knew that the queen did not like the idea that men were superior to women.

In recent years, many courtiers did not approve of many things the emperor and empress had done, but they did not dare to object.

Just now, the Minister of Rites was confused by the girl's urgent matter, and accidentally revealed his true feelings.

Lin Xuezhu sneered, "It's quick to admit your mistakes, but what's the use of just admitting your mistakes? Will you truly repent in your heart?"

The Minister of Rites was shaking like chaff and did not dare to speak.

Lin Xuezhu softened her tone slightly and said: "I can hear that you really love your sister. You are afraid that she will make a mistake and ruin her reputation. From the beginning to the end, you have never said that what she does will be good. If you are embarrassed, all your words are out of concern for her."

After hearing this, Yingniang couldn't help crying.

Lin Xuezhu continued: "Since you love your sister so much, why do you put those shackles on her? She has been an obedient woman for half her life. When she gets older, she wants to live her life as she pleases. Why can't she do it? Do you just want her to be a canary living in a cage, never to see the vast world outside in this life?"

As soon as these words came out, the Minister of Rites burst into tears and cried sincerely.

Hearing the big blow in his heart, he couldn't help but give the queen a thumbs up.

The Queen is truly a goddess, she knows how to use the topic to her advantage.

What's that word called?

By the way, value!

This is great value!

Wen Dashouzi felt that his profession could be further improved.

You can't just rely on trolling, but you also have to learn from the Queen's methods occasionally.

Seeing the brother and sister crying together, Lin Xuezhu said: "Don't cry, I'm not here to enhance the relationship between you brother and sister. What I want is for women in the world to have the same rights as men. When that day comes, you guys There is no need to make a fuss over such a trivial matter today."

After saying that, she looked at Ying Niang and said, "Ying Niang, right? After this incident, do you still have admiration for Mr. Wen? In this life, a woman can not only depend on men, but do you still think Master Wen is so important?"

Mr. Wen said: Hey, why is Wei Chen involved?

Yingniang thought for a while and said seriously: "Back to the Queen, Yingniang admires Mr. Wen because he is a brilliant gentleman. Yingniang does not want to live dependent on Mr. Wen, but she just feels that if she can marry Mr. Wen, "My lord, you should have a happier marriage."

Lin Xuezhu's face was expressionless, "What misunderstanding do you have about gentlemen?"
