After the system ran, I took off with my family

Lin Shuyue heard that something was wrong with her, turned around and waved to Qinghe and Tang Wanchu's personal maid Cuiliu, then the two of them quietly left the pavilion and stood guard outside it.

"Wanchu, did something happen to you?" Lin Shuyue walked to Tang Wanchu, leaned her hands on the railing, tilted her head and asked softly.

Tang Wanchu said nothing, just shook his head.

After a long while, she whispered, "Ayue, my cousin got married last month and moved from Jinzhou to the capital..."

Lin Shuyue was a little puzzled when she heard this, "This is a happy event, are you reluctant to let her go?"

"It is indeed a happy event for those elders. The daughter of a county magistrate marries the eldest son of a third-rank Zhongshu Shilang in the capital. It is a great joyous event..."

Tang Wanchu said in a muffled voice, then turned to look at Lin Shuyue, "But, Yue, my cousin wrote a letter to my mother a few days ago."

"My cousin is three years older than me. She used to come to Wuzhou to visit my mother every summer. She and my mother have a very good relationship. She said in the letter that my cousin's husband is not the talented, courageous and elegant gentleman that the elders say he is, but a complete playboy."

Tang Wanchu gnashed his teeth and said bitterly, "It's only been a month since we got married, and he already has two concubines. The most disgusting thing is that after we got married, my cousin found out that her husband actually had a bastard son who was just two years old, born to a concubine he brought back from a brothel."

Lin Shuyue was furious after hearing this. This was a scumbag, but she was a little puzzled and asked in confusion: "Didn't the elders in your cousin's family inquire about the man's situation before discussing the marriage?"

Normally speaking, in this dynasty, both the man and the woman would have to find out about the other party before discussing the marriage.

Tang Wanchu nodded and shook his head, and said in a muffled voice: "My mother said that this marriage was arranged by my cousin's uncle and aunt who are officials in Beijing.

My uncle has always trusted his eldest brother, and they said that this marriage would benefit my cousin in the future, so my uncle agreed to it, and my aunt always listened to my uncle. "

"My cousin said that she wrote a letter to her parents, but my uncle only said in his reply that it was wrong for my cousin's husband's family to conceal the fact of the illegitimate son when discussing the marriage, but now that they are married, it is useless to blame them, and asked my cousin to think more positively."

"What's even more ridiculous is that my aunt, who always loved her daughter, actually advised my cousin in the letter to be magnanimous and not to quarrel with my cousin's husband. She also said that it is common for men to take concubines, and as the eldest daughter-in-law, she should do her duty well."

"Ayue, why do you think it's so hard for women?" Tang Wanchu sighed, looking at the blooming lotus flowers and whispered, "My cousin wrote to my mother this time because she was too sad and wanted to find someone to talk to. She is only sixteen years old now. How will she get through the rest of her life?"

Lin Shuyue also sighed. She had long known the difficulties of being a woman in this world, so she had made up her mind early on that she would never get married in this life.

She patted Tang Wanchu's shoulder and said seriously, "Wanchu, it's hard for women in this world. For a situation like your cousin's, my suggestion is that if you can't get a divorce, then let your cousin keep her heart and don't let her emotions be affected by a bad person.

The most important thing now is to gain a firm foothold in the mansion. Isn't money good? Isn't the power of the housekeeper good? What's a bad person? As long as she can hold these in her hands, no one can bully her. "

Tang Wanchu's eyes lit up when he heard Lin Shuyue's words, but soon dimmed again. He shook his head and said, "Ayue, my cousin has been soft-hearted since she was a child. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to do what you said."

After that, she took Lin Shuyue's hand and said sincerely: "However, I will write these in the letter. If my cousin can read it, that would be great. Thank you, Ayue!"

"No need to thank me. Why are you being so polite to me? Come on, be happy. I'll take you to the mountains to hunt tomorrow, and also take you to meet my friends." Lin Shuyue patted her shoulder with a cheerful tone.

"good....."

In the pavilion next to the grape trellis in the front yard of the Lin residence, Tang Zhiwei put down his teacup and couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Lin, this is really a paradise. Not only is the scenery good, the air is good, the food is delicious, but even the tea is delicious."

Lin An smiled, but did not respond immediately. He filled his cup with tea, and invited Tang Yunci to drink some tea. Then he smiled and shook his head and said, "We are just country folk. We just want to be quiet and free. If you like it, Brother Tang, you can stay for a few more days."

"I would like to stay a few more days, but I am too busy with official duties. I have to take a break from my busy schedule to come here. However, if I have time in the future, I will definitely come here more often. Brother Lin, please don't find me annoying."

Tang Zhiwei took a sip of tea and looked at Lin An with a smile, "Brother Lin, how is Ah Yan doing academically now? I heard from my sister-in-law today that Ah Yuan has joined the Zhenhai Division?"

Tang Yunci also looked at Lin An, his eyes were a little excited. As a young man, he had imagined himself going into battle to kill the enemy and protect the people several times...

But he knew that because of his eldest brother's matter, his parents would definitely not agree, so he could only hide this idea.

Lin An nodded and roughly recounted the story of Lin Shuyuan's entry into the Zhenhai Division. At the end, he curiously asked, "Brother Tang, are you familiar with this Governor Xiao?"

Tang Zhiwei stroked his short beard and said thoughtfully, "Brother Lin, this Governor Xiao is not a simple person. He is the eldest son of the King of Zhennan in Beijing and also the crown prince. Moreover, because the King of Zhennan made great contributions before the emperor ascended the throne, the emperor issued an edict to allow him to inherit the throne.

As far as I know, the old prince has recently asked His Majesty for permission to allow Governor Xiao to inherit the title. He is just waiting for His Majesty's nod, and then Governor Xiao will be the Prince of Zhennan."

"This..." Lin An was shocked. He didn't expect that Governor Xiao was so powerful. Did A Yuan meet a noble person?

Seeing his strange expression, Tang Zhiwei thought he was worried, and hurriedly comforted him, "Brother Lin, don't worry. It's a blessing for Ayuan to be favored by Governor Xiao. Governor Xiao is also upright and cherishes talents. As long as Ayuan can stay calm and work hard, his future will definitely be good."

Lin An nodded, and then sat in the pavilion for a while before the three of them got up and left.

Lin An sent Tang Zhiwei and his son to the door of the guest house and then returned to the backyard. After he left, Tang Zhiwei stopped his son who was about to go back to his room.

"Yun Ci, do you want to go to Zhenhai Division?" Tang Zhiwei looked at his son who was as tall as him, hesitated for a moment, and still asked this question.

Tang Yunci was a little surprised, "Dad, how do you know..."

"You little brat, do you think I'm blind? Just now when you heard your uncle Lin talking about the Zhenhai Division, your eyes lit up." Tang Zhiwei walked up to him and knocked on his forehead, scolding with a smile.

However, judging from my son's reaction, it seems that my guess was correct.
