Lin Gongzi medicine jar

Zhao Jingyi was kicked out by Lin Xi that day, and she didn't even grab a bite of lunch, and went back with a face full of regret and lust.

When it was time to light the lamp, Mother Zhou took over the work of Tuantuan, removed Lin Xi's hair, changed her pajamas, and waited for her to wash up and go to bed just like she did when she was a child, but she didn't have the nagging of the past. He seemed to be full of thoughts in his silent manner.

Combined with the matter of the study, Lin Xi also made a rough guess, but Zhou's mother didn't mention it, and he didn't want to say more.

The summer has passed, and the weather is getting colder. Mother Zhou covered Lin Xi with a thin quilt, raised her hand and slowly lowered the curtain, watching Lin Xi with her eyes closed and resting, she finally couldn't help but said: "The days go by so fast. It will be Chinese New Year in a few months, think about it, the young master will be twenty next year, so he can reach the crown."

Lin Xi opened her eyes and smiled slightly, "I said that I have only been in Beijing for five years, but it feels like a long time."

"That's right, the young master has grown up and can support the Lin family's family. Such a capable master and his wife will feel gratified when they are alive in the sky. I am really happy to think about it."

When the Lin family in Huaizhou was torn apart, no matter who it was, the Lin family did not want to experience those dark days again.

That hesitation and helplessness, but he could only drag the sick body through gritting his teeth step by step, the torment was full of helplessness.If it wasn't for an adult soul residing in a young body, I don't know where Lin Xi is now.

But looking back now, the heartache at that time has become a precious memory.

"It will get better and better in the future, and the future Lin family will definitely occupy a place in the capital."

Lin Xi spoke decisively, with a firm light shining in her eyes, which made Zhou's mother feel joy in her heart, but also sad.

"With the young master here, the servants don't worry about anything now, they just wait for the young lady to come in and serve the young lady attentively. If the body is still strong, maybe they can serve the young lady for a few years..."

Mother Zhou spoke cautiously, but she couldn't hide her tentative intentions. Lin Xi put away her smile, looked at the hopeful Mother Zhou with indifferent eyes and said, "There are some things, just say what you want. Mother Zhou, I have my own measure."

With a rattling sound, Mother Zhou's heart sank, pleading in her eyes, "Master, you are the only one in the Lin family, Master and Madam..."

"Mother Zhou!" Lin Xi suddenly raised her voice, and Mother Zhou immediately fell silent, only to see him say with a blank expression, "If Daddy is still here, he must hope that I can live a happy life, right? "

Zhou's mother let out a "woo" and couldn't help covering her mouth, but shed tears at the same time.

Lin Xi's heart seemed to be scorched, and finally he got up, pulled Zhou's mother to sit on the edge of the bed, gently wiped away her tears, then hugged her, and said softly: "Mother left early, and Daddy is here again!" Busy, I'm a sick child, only mother Zhou has been with me, and I have already regarded you as a relative and elder in my heart, so I don't want to lie to you."

Mother Zhou paused, and was about to stand up and say "servants don't dare" but was hugged tightly by Lin Xi. She could only look at him with red eyes, but she saw a trace of tenderness in Lin Xi's eyes, and a little smile on her face. Happiness, the corner of the mouth slightly raised, "Mother Zhou, I like him, and all I think about is to be with him. I don't want to marry any woman, and I don't want to use other excuses to refuse one good marriage after another. I like Man, and he also likes me, there is no reason to be dissatisfied, don't stop me, okay?"

In the end, it was a coquettish gesture. Mother Zhou hadn't seen Lin Xi like this for a long, long time.

Thinking that Lin Xi has never been weak since Lin Qing was sent to prison, even if she was in pain and helpless, she raised her head and moved forward, but now it is for... Zhou's mother's crying can no longer be suppressed.

She hugged Lin Xi as she did when she was a child, and choked with sobs: "The biggest wish of this servant is that the young master can live a long and healthy life, and live a peaceful and beautiful life, nothing else. But why him, young master! He is high above and holds a lot of power, what kind of person can't be found? Thinking back to the time when the third lady of the Hou's mansion disobeyed Mrs. Tai, she did not hesitate to lower her own price to marry him. Such a fragrant bun, young master, follow him It will be a loss!"

Zhou's mother lived in the inner house all her life, so it's not unusual to see a lot of things. Naturally, there are some things among men, but most of them are unsightly rumors.She once heard that it was just a joke, but now that it fell on her young master, she was so worried and anxious that her mouth was blistering.

He could only persuade him earnestly: "Now he is tender and gentle, doting on you, relying on you, once the freshness is over, how can he even look at you? At that time, what should you do? If you are a woman, my lord It’s fine if I want to marry you, I have a status after all. But how do two men get married? If the world finds out, they won’t say that they are in love with each other, and they dare not say that the prince is wrong. They will only laugh at you for borrowing… …With that incident, you became a lord, who cares about your talent and name? Young master, you are the one who wants to be the number one scholar, how can you ruin your reputation! Mister Bai’s good reputation in his life, you may let him take it with you in his later years On this stain?"

Zhou's mother has no selfishness, and she thinks wholeheartedly for Lin Xi's sake. It is precisely in this way that what she said is exactly what Lin Xi also thinks about and fears.He will be ruined only by himself, and it is just a romantic affair with Zhao Jingyi.

It's just that Lin Xi believes in his choice, and he believes in Zhao Jingyi's affection for him more than hesitation and worry.

"Mom, let me go crazy once, I believe him."

This night, Zhao Jingyi didn't dare to come to meet in the middle of the night, thinking about love.Similarly, Lin Xi couldn't fall asleep with her red eyes open.

On the second day, a pair of red eyes were bloodshot, and the big one was completely black. Tuanyuan jumped in fright, "Oh my god, young master, you haven't slept all night!"

"It's better to lie down for a while." Tuantuan said worriedly.

Lin Xi shook her head and stood up, "No, I have to go to the Hou Mansion this morning."

"The servant girl is going to get an egg and roll it around. If Madam Tai sees this appearance, she must be worried and ask carefully." Yuanyuan said, seeing Lin Xi nod her head, and ran out quickly, holding two eggs in her hand after a while. Boiled and peeled eggs came over and rolled around Lin Xi's eyes several times before they disappeared. After breakfast, he went out after cleaning.

Before leaving, Lin Xi casually asked, "Why don't you see Mother Zhou?"

Tuantuan said: "I was just about to tell the young master that Zhou's mother is sick and can't get up."

Lin Xi frowned, thinking that it must be because of yesterday, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty, "Is it serious? Have you ordered someone to call for a doctor?"

"Go, Lin Fang went to invite him early in the morning. The doctor said that he was overthinking and should rest well."

Lin Xi understood, and let out a sigh of relief, "Isn't there a hundred-year-old ginseng in my place, find it and send it to Mother Zhou."

The Yongning Hou Mansion is still the same, Lin Xi brought back a bunch of rewards when he entered the palace, which can be said to be a sacred heart, and the servants of the Yongning Hou Mansion are even more respectful when they see it.

The emperor has been ill for nearly a month, and now he is finally able to go to court as usual, so all the men in the Yongninghou's mansion are not in the mansion.

So Lin Xi chose this time to come here, thinking that he is just a scholar, and he is too far away from the palace and court, so what can he know?

The Marquis of Yongning has a delicate relationship because Xiao Jinlan is married to the King of Liang. I heard that Xiao Jinlan is becoming more and more favored, and even Princess Liang is very polite. Who can say whether the Marquis of Yongning will reciprocate or not ?

Mrs. Tai was still in good spirits, seeing Lin Xi's loving smile, she beckoned him to come to her side.

Ever since Lin Xi confessed the unspeakable secret, Mrs. Tai's distress for this grandson has intensified.She was most worried about Lin Xi's entry into the palace, and now that she came back whole, she immediately called Lin Xi over by virtue of Xiao Jinxin's engagement, and she was relieved after seeing it for herself.

"The palace has been guarded and people are not allowed to move around. The grandson and the ninth prince have been living in the side hall of Yijing Palace to recuperate Concubine Shu's body. There are people watching all the time, and they don't know what happened outside. It's just that Yijing The palace received the imperial decree, and only after Concubine Shu took charge of the palace affairs did I hear that the noble concubine was demoted, and Concubine Xian entered the cold palace, and the grandson could leave the palace only after Concubine Shu’s poison was cleared away.”

Although Mrs. Tai didn't ask, Lin Xi still said a few words, and it was the same when Marquis Yongning asked.

The matter of the harem has been widely circulated outside, Mrs. Tai knows better than Lin Xi, upon hearing this, Amitabha said, "That's how it should be, it has nothing to do with you, it's justified not to hear or not to ask." After speaking, he sighed again Tone, "I just have pity on the Ninth Prince."

Lin Xi said, "At least it's not too late."

Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded, there are some things that everyone can understand.

Since he came because of Xiao Jinxin's marriage, Lin Xi couldn't help but ask, "I don't know which family the third sister is destined for?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Mrs. Tai's face darkened, and she raised her eyelids and said, "Song Guogong's eldest son."

Just listening to this name, the status is not low, but Lin Xi always feels that something is wrong.

Lin Xi accompanied Mr. Bai to sort out the genealogical relationship of the Great Xia Dynasty meritorious titles. Song Guogong was originally a first-rank title obtained by the founding general Li Xian because of his military merits.But the current Song Guogong has half-white hair, and his eldest son...

"How old is that?"

As soon as Lin Xi asked, she saw Mrs. Tai showing anger, "It's the age of forty!"

The age of forty matches Xiao Jinxin's eighteenth year, even if Lin Xi doesn't like Xiao Jinxin, she has to admit the fact that flowers are planted with cow dung, and how can she not marry a wife at such an old age.

"How could uncle and aunt agree?"

"Of course they don't agree, but so what if they don't agree." Madam Tai gradually lost her anger, her eyes filled with fatigue, "That girl has simply fallen into a lunatic. The family is not well-off, with eyes long on the top of the head, staring at the royal relatives who are not looking forward to it. Li Rang just died a year ago and left a pair of children. Now the filial piety period is over and he wants to remarry, but this girl is delayed. During the flowering period, the Li family hired a matchmaker to come to try their luck. Your aunt wanted to beat him out when she heard about it, but she didn’t know that girl was hiding and eavesdropping, and then she asked your aunt to agree to the marriage."

Lin Xi was speechless for a while, and then asked, "Is the eldest aunt just letting her go like this?"

Mrs. Tai sneered, "Otherwise, what can I do? This girl is looking for death and living against her will. If she disagrees with her, she will hang the beams. Your aunt is a good means to your uncle's wife and concubine, but it's her daughter's turn to wipe her tears." , After a stalemate for a month, your heart softened. Your uncle wanted to find another relative to marry directly into the sedan chair, but I disagreed. This girl is used to lawlessness. Become an enemy!"

I once heard the saying that if there is an enmity with the family, the daughter will be raised and married, but now I understand it a little bit.

"I don't know what the third sister thinks. The stepmother is also the stepmother. It will not be easy in the future. By the way, isn't she paying homage to the Buddha at the Jingfo Temple? When did she come back?"

"I begged your aunt a few times and then I took it back." Speaking of this matter is also disturbing. The mother is still there, so she can't interfere in troublesome things, and she really doesn't like Xiao Jinxin. "She's in a good mood." Guess, it’s nothing more than that Lan Yatou became a side concubine and was favored by the king of Liang. She is so beautiful. How can she marry as well as her concubine? The prince and side concubine still have to salute her."

Lin Xi was completely speechless, this little girl's heart was as high as the sky, but her head was not clear, if she was acting out of her temper for a while, there would be times when she shed tears in the future.But it's none of his business.

"Speaking of these three sisters, Miss Lan is the one who sees the most clearly." Mrs. Tai sighed with emotion and glanced at Lin Xi.

Lin Xi smiled and did not make any comments. She listened to the gossip and talked with Mrs. Tai for a while, and it was almost time to leave.

Mrs. Tai thinks about it, "Go back before your two uncles come back."

Mrs. Tai's thoughts were guessed, and Lin Xi sneered, "Grandson will come to see you next time. By the way, the emperor rewarded me with a lot of good things. Some of the ginseng medicinal materials in it are very old, and my grandmother kept them to nourish her body."

Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded.

But as soon as Lin Xi got up, she came to report at the door, "Old Madam, Madam and Second Aunt Grandma are here."

Lin Xi looked at Mrs. Tai in surprise, but saw Mrs. Tai also frowned, "It's not a festival, why is Miss Lan back?"

Just wondering, Mrs. Liu brought her maid into the Chongjin Hall, and Xiao Jinlan, the side concubine of Prince Liang, came in with her.Behind her, Lin Xi was surprised. If she read it correctly, it was Aunt Mei who was assigned to Zhuangzi. She still had a graceful step and a willow-like appearance, but Zhuangzi was having a hard time after all, and she looked haggard.

However, Aunt Mei's eyes are very bright, full of pride in her eyes, she is not polite when she looks at Mrs. Liu.

Lin Xi was not surprised to see Mrs. Tai, her expression was calm, which showed that she knew about it.

The king of Shu was defeated, and the king of Liang was very popular. Aunt Mei finally returned with honor thanks to her daughter.

"Greetings to the old lady." Mrs. Liu bowed forcefully, and seeing Lin Xi next to Mrs. Tai, said calmly, "My nephew is here too."

"Auntie is well." Lin Xi bowed respectfully to Mrs. Liu. Seeing her worried, pale face, and puffy eyes, it can be seen that this period of time is not easy. Her daughter's marriage is unsatisfactory, and her dead enemy is back again, so she is exhausted physically and mentally.

"Granddaughter pays respects to grandmother." Xiao Jinlan's complexion was good, her brows were full of spirits, and she was supported by Aunt Mei with a smile. She turned her head and saw Lin Xi, her eyes rolled, "Cousin."
