Lin Gongzi medicine jar

When Xiao Ningxuan hurried back all the way, the residence of the Marquis of Yongning and the residence of Prince Rui had already lived in peace and calm, just thinking of the dazzling niece back then, he couldn't help but sigh.

Mrs. Tai saw her youngest son rushing back all the way, with exhaustion on his face, she felt distressed for a while, and Mother Qi even directed the little maid to pour tea and water for the fourth master.

When Xiao Ningxuan breathed a sigh of relief, Mrs. Tai looked at her youngest son impatiently, and asked, "But did you see your brother-in-law?"

Is this the news that Lin Qing is dead?Xiao Ningxuan was surprised for a while. You must know that the Jiangnan corruption case shocked the government and the public. Before the imperial envoy arrived in the capital, the cabinet had already been overwhelmed by memorials.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Tai saw her youngest son's uncomfortable expression, and her heart sank little by little. After Lin Qing's letter, she urged Xiao Ningxuan to rush to Huaizhou as soon as possible. Later, she met Prince Rui and Princess Wang. After the funeral, the eldest son rushed to urge him to come back as soon as possible.Could it be that he came back before seeing anyone?or……

It is impossible for the huge Yongninghou Mansion not to know about such important news, fearing that it was suppressed and did not inform Mrs. Tai. Xiao Ningxuan was hesitating whether to talk to his elder brother first, but he did not want Mrs. Tai's sharp eyes to be tightly closed. look at him.

Although he is now the deputy commander of soldiers and horses from the fifth rank and five cities, and his official position is not high, but he holds an important position and is reused by the emperor, but facing his sturdy mother, he can't hide it no matter what, and finally falters. .

Mrs. Tai felt a burst of angina immediately when she heard the words, and she almost couldn't stand up. Fortunately, Qi's mother supported her from behind, so she didn't fall down.

Mrs. Yongning Hou gave birth to two sons and a daughter. The eldest son Xiao Yunting attacked Yongning Hou, and the youngest son Xiao Yunxuan made up the deputy commander of the fifth-rank and five cities' soldiers and horses. All of them are capable.The only daughter, Xiao Yunfei, was married to Lin Qing, the magistrate of Huaizhou, and she passed away many years ago, leaving behind only a small medicine pot, Lin Xi. Before she died, she shed tears and asked someone to send a message to her mother, that she must take good care of her son.

Every time Mrs. Tai thinks of her daughter's charming appearance at home, she sheds tears secretly.Now that the only bloodline of my beloved daughter is helping Ling to go to that remote place in Liangzhou alone, it is even more uncomfortable.

However, such an important matter was kept from her from all over the Hou family, so Mrs. Tai was secretly furious, and immediately called Yongninghou and his wife into the Chongjin Hall, and scolded Yongninghou first, no matter what happened.

"Okay, okay, Master Hou is really capable. No one told the old lady about such a big incident happened to the son-in-law. It can be seen that he is always suspected by others. It is better to prepare a coffin for the old lady and bury the matter directly, so as to save the trouble." I feel unhappy seeing it every day!"

Marquis Yongning knew that something bad was going to happen when his servants reported that Fourth Master had gone to Chongjin Hall without returning to his own yard. Now that Mrs. Tai said such harsh words, he was immediately scared out of his wits, and both knelt down.

Xiao Jinping's matter is not over yet, and if it is reported that he disrespects his mother again, he will not be an official.

"Mother was wronged. It's not that my son kept it from you. It's because of Ping'er's affairs that I didn't care about other things. I just found out about my brother-in-law's affairs!"

Mrs. Tai was even more angry when she heard the words, "This is a lie, even ghosts don't believe it. I know that you and your son-in-law have never been on good terms, but I didn't expect that you would stand by and watch when your brother-in-law was in trouble! What a Marquis of Yongning, Don't you think I don't know? The grain merchant Li's family gave you a generous gift, asking your brother-in-law to do things conveniently, but Lin Qing refused. You took the benefits and refused to spit them out. That's why you committed evil, and finally left Jinzhou Lu Cai calmed down. He knew that the emperor intended to move Jiangnan, so he wrote you a letter with a low face, but you just ignored him and watched him being murdered by a traitor. Now that he died of injustice, have you ever thought about your nephew? What to do, Xi'er is your sister's only bloodline! Even if you play around a bit, it's good to save your brother-in-law's life!"

Mrs. Tai was so angry that she slapped the table, but Marquis Yongning just bowed his head and let himself be scolded. Mrs. Liu couldn't bear it, so she couldn't help interjecting: "Mother wronged Lord Marquis, because of Ping'er, the Holy Majesty has already It’s because you reprimanded Lord Hou. You’ve been thinking behind closed doors in the mansion for a while, how could you know about the Jiangnan incident? Besides, my brother-in-law is too upright, you should think about it even for your nephew!”

It's fine if Mrs. Liu doesn't say anything, but when Mrs. Tai said it, she pointed at her nose and scolded: "You think there's nothing wrong with you? Master Hou has always been a good character, so how could the Li family find his way? It's not as good as you Elder brother recommended it to you, but you saw that Qian's eyes were wide open, so you persuaded Hou Ye to intervene in this matter! The feud between Hou Ye and his son-in-law is all because of you!"

Mrs. Liu's face froze when she heard the words, and she was about to defend herself, but she heard Marquis Yongning reprimanded in a low voice: "Shut up now." Then Mrs. Liu lowered her head sullenly.

"Mother, don't be angry. How could my son be such a foolish person? I also want to help, but the fact that my brother-in-law is involved is very extensive, even the two princes have been involved. He will expose Jiangnan's corruption all at once. How could those people let him go? Although his son is the Marquis of Yongning, he is only a fifth-rank official, and the matter of Pinger has offended the Holy One, how can he be so capable to save him! If possible, the son is not willing Brother-in-law died of injustice!"

Marquis Yongning kowtowed heavily on the ground, his voice clearly visible.Xiao Ningxuan couldn't bear it, so he knelt down and begged for mercy, "Mother, elder brother can't do anything about it. The danger here is to listen to other people's words, and he has a heart. It's because of the Yongning Houfu that my nephew can save his life."

Why doesn't Mrs. Tai know that she just loves her daughter and nephew, she just clutches her handkerchief and weeps.

Qi's mother calmed Madam Tai gently, and said in a low voice: "Old Madam, there is nothing I can do if my uncle is gone, but Young Biao is still here. His one and a half-year-old child lives in a rural area like Liangzhou, and he is not healthy. Okay, but how can you bear it, you have to make the decision for Young Master Biao!"

Yes, his grandson who is loved by no one, remembers that when he was a child, he saw Lin Xi like a kitten, crying weakly, and had to drink medicine before taking a few sips of milk. Can you rely on it?

Yongninghou looked at Qi's mother gratefully, and immediately assured: "Mother, don't worry, the son will send someone to Liangzhou. Xi'er will live in Yongninghou's mansion from now on. He is the son's flesh and blood. This serious young master of the Hou's mansion, From now on, all marriages and proposals will come from the Marquis Mansion, once they are used, they will only be better than his brothers, and they will never be neglected. In the future, whether it is an official career or a business, it will be up to him, and his son will make arrangements for him."

This Mrs. Tai believed in her eldest son. Hearing this, her expression eased and she nodded. Seeing her son and daughter-in-law kneeling, she said, "Get up."

Marquis Yongning finally breathed a sigh of relief, so he ordered Liu Shi: "In the next few days, you open the treasury and arrange the Lanyue Pavilion. When Xi'er comes, you can move in directly."

Mrs. Liu's face immediately changed when she heard the words, "Lan Yuexuan was promised by Hou Ye to Heng'er. His wife is pregnant and she is about to give birth. Zi Zhuxuan looked fine when she first got married, but now she is a too small."

Marquis Yongning glanced at Mrs. Tai, but the old lady squinted her eyes and didn't express her opinion, so she stroked her beautiful beard, thought for a while and said: "Xi'er is not in good health, and Lanyue Xuan is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is good for his recovery. As for Heng'er... You are also considerate, how about this, just give him the Meijing Garden behind Zizhuxuan, doesn't he always praise the scenery there?"

Mrs. Liu twisted the veil, feeling unwilling, a sick child without father or mother, how could he compare to the eldest grandson of the Hou Mansion, Lan Yue Xuan was the best courtyard in the whole Hou Mansion, and Zi Zhu Xuan was the best courtyard in the Hou Mansion. Shangmei Jingyuan is incomparable, but it is just to see what Mrs. Tai means, and she is very satisfied with Lord Hou. The two mothers and sons agreed, and I am afraid that they cannot be changed.

So I thought about it and said: "Master Hou means that I am not disobedient, and I feel sorry for my nephew, but my brother-in-law has just left, and my nephew will have to observe filial piety for three years, and the fallen leaves will return to their roots. It is not easy to let him come here like this. How about Wait for a while, after a year and a half, when my nephew has fulfilled his filial piety, we will take over again..."

At that time, Lan Yuexuan had already joined Zizhuxuan, and the eldest grandson could not be moved.However, she suddenly saw Mrs. Tai's face darken, and she squinted at her, making her speechless.

Qi's mother couldn't help laughing and said: "Madam's intentions are good, but my uncle has no serious relatives in Liangzhou for a long time, and the young master is weak, so where can I find good medicine and doctors in such a remote place? I don't even care about my body, if my uncle is alive in the sky, I will feel sorry for him. My uncle must be happy to let someone pick it up, otherwise I wouldn't have written to him before."

Xiao Ningxuan nodded again and again, he felt guilty because he didn't pick up his nephew, "The weather is getting colder now, and the road will be frozen in a few days, I don't know if Xi'er can survive it, let's take it back , there is no way to observe filial piety. Besides, it is almost the Chinese New Year, so I can't let my nephew spend it alone."

These words simply went to Mrs. Tai's heart.

Seeing his mother looking directly at him, Marquis Yongning flicked his sleeves and scolded Mrs. Liu, "Just do as I say, there are so many nonsense." Seeing Mrs. Tai's tired expression, he said, "It's getting late, mother It's time to rest too, my son will arrange it tomorrow morning."

Then he asked An and went out with his younger brother, but Liu pouted, not daring to say anything, and followed him.

In the early morning of the second day, a fast horse set off from Hou's mansion and left the capital.Three days later, the young master Xiao Yuheng took leave of absence from the Imperial Academy, and set off for Liangzhou with a few servants, guards and a carriage.

Liangzhou, Linjiacun

Fang Xin turned his horse and went to Lin Xi's carriage, and said, "Young Master Biao, you've arrived at Lin Family Village. My aunt's hometown is here."

On the way, the people led by Fang Xin quickly caught up with Lin Xi, and thanks to these strong men along the way, they arrived in Liangzhou without incident.

Lin Xi looked at the dilapidated village sign at the entrance of the village, and was speechless for a long time, secretly thinking that it was not easy for his father to be able to study and be admitted to Jinshi.

Lin Xi came to Liangzhou with only a dozen people, and the rest stayed in Huaizhou to look after the Lin family's property and his mother's dowry.Before he left, he counted his belongings, but found that he was still an out-and-out rich second generation. He had a house, fertile fields, fruit hills, and a shop. There was no shortage of antiques, jades, calligraphy and paintings, all of which were Mrs. Lin's dowry.

When Zhou's mother took out a stack of thick bank notes, Lin Xi still couldn't help being dumbfounded for a long time.

Mother Zhou also laughed at him, "What's the matter, madam is the only concubine of the Marquis of Yongning, the dowry saved by Mrs. Tai and the old Hou Ye from childhood is naturally generous, if it weren't for the madam who would marry the master, antique jade and so on There will be more expensive gadgets, and when Mrs. Tai saw that she couldn't resist her, she simply kept these and exchanged them for bank notes at the bottom of the box."

Lin Xi clicked her tongue, "That's too much, it's [-]."

"Not much." Zhou's mother carefully put away these banknotes, and said, "Mrs. Tai is also afraid of my wife's suffering. The master is poor and white, and even the dowry is patchwork. If my wife follows him, she will have to put money into it." , But fortunately, although the master has a good sleeve, he is not good at using the weak bones of his wife's dowry, or the young lady secretly subsidized some households because of her disdain, and the master doesn't even know about it."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh, "Fortunately, when the officers and soldiers searched before, our people guarded madam's dowry tightly and didn't dare to let them touch it, otherwise the young master will suffer."

Lin Xi twitched her lips. His father didn't save a penny, but his mother has already paid for the rest of his life. The lady of the family is really extraordinary, and the people around her are also his mother's dowry, loyal and loyal.

Because of his confidence, Lin Xi is not afraid even if he returns to this poor village. To be honest, he also came from the countryside. Thinking of his parents in his previous life, he couldn't help closing his eyes and looking at this village again. Intimacy.
