Lin Gongzi medicine jar

The moment they heard Mother Ren's report, Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Liu's and Shan's eyes subconsciously looked at Lin Xi, but the latter also didn't understand why, and his expression was very innocent, so he gave up.

Mrs. Tai settled down and asked, "Who is here?"

Mother Ren only said that it was not Prince Rui who came to Prince Rui's mansion. It must be that Zhao Jingyi did not come. Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, which is the day when my aunt returns home to pay New Year's greetings. On the first New Year after Xiao Jinping's death, Zhao Jingyi can send someone over Obviously still fancy this in-law.

Thinking of the key point, Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Liu glanced at each other, feeling relieved.

Mother Ren replied, "Eunuch Cao is here, and he brought a carload of New Year's gifts. Lord Hou and Fourth Master are entertaining them, but Eunuch Cao said that he still wants to visit the old lady first, and it is estimated that he will be here soon."

Not long after, a little girl came in, "Old Madam, Master Hou and Fourth Master are here."

As soon as the words fell, Marquis Yongning's voice came in, "Mother, Eunuch Cao is here to visit you."

The maidservants on both sides raised the curtains, only to see Marquis Yongning and Xiao Ningxuan leading a middle-aged eunuch with a round face and small eyes. Lin Xi saw that it was Eunuch Cao who was beside Zhao Jingyi.

The female relatives on both sides naturally got up quickly and stood behind or on both sides of Mrs. Tai.

Eunuch Cao didn't fully enter the door, but a shrill laugh came in first, "Old lady, the prince of Zajia pays his respects to you, I wish you good luck like the East China Sea, your life is better than Nanshan, and you are getting healthier and healthier every year. "

After speaking, the man came in, and stepped forward a few steps to bow to Mrs. Tai who was sitting in the high hall.

Although Eunuch Cao was just an eunuch, he grew up serving Prince Xianrui since he was a child. After the old prince opened a mansion, married a concubine and had children, until now that Zhao Jingyi has inherited the title, he can be called a real old man. It is Zhao Jingyi who treats him It is also quite dependent, and has always been lenient to Yourong.

Mrs. Tai immediately got up from her seat and helped Eunuch Cao up, "I dare not do it. If you can come today, the old lady's face is already bright."

"Where is there, old lady, sit down." Eunuch Cao helped Mrs. Tai back to the warm chair, and then sat down next to his subordinates. Marquis Yongning and Xiao Ningxuan also took their seats. Eunuch Cao smiled all over his face, "My lord specifically explained, he In Xiaozhong, it is inconvenient to come over to pay New Year greetings to you, and I want the miscellaneous family to say more auspicious words, please forgive me first."

Mrs. Tai cuddled in her heart, "Your Highness, you are welcome."

Mrs. Liu asked: "My father-in-law has worked hard, I don't know how my son is in good health, and I have been busy these few days so I haven't visited him."

Speaking of Zhao Yuanrong, Eunuch Cao smiled even brighter, and he replied repeatedly: "Your Majesty is well, I added half a bowl of rice porridge for breakfast today, and my health seems to be improving, and I can already get out of bed and take a few steps. But the body is still weak, and needs to be recuperated."

Speaking of which, Eunuch Cao looked towards Lin Xi who had been making the set for a long time. Lin Xi smiled back, raised his hand slightly and made a slight bow, and Eunuch Cao's small eyes suddenly narrowed into smiles.

Everyone didn't notice this little move, Liu Shi heard Zhao Yuanrong's news, immediately felt relieved, and said: "After staying for a few days, I will definitely visit him, and I would like to ask my father-in-law to make it easier for me then."

Eunuch Cao nodded with a smile, "It's easy to say, the prince has explained, if Madam wants to go, just let me know."

This is really good news.

Then Eunuch Cao looked directly at Lin Xi: "Mr. Lin, when the miscellaneous family came over, the elder son asked when he would be able to visit him in the palace again when he was free. Oh, by the way, the elder son specifically mentioned... The painting of the cat and mouse, let the miscellaneous ask Mr. Lin if the painting is finished?"

As soon as Eunuch Cao finished speaking, Lin Xi immediately felt multiple probing eyes greet him, and his scalp tingled, so he could only step forward and answer, "Eunuch, I'm sorry, but I've been busy these days and I forgot about it, please. The father-in-law told the son that the grass-roots will draw more in the next few days, and they will be sent to the mansion after the Spring Festival."

Eunuch Cao waved his hands with a smile, "Don't worry, he will be happy if you have more time to visit the prince, and the prince also said that you have been negligent in bothering the prince before, please pay attention to your health, otherwise it will be the fault of the prince. "

As he spoke, he stood up and raised his voice and said: "My lord ordered the miscellaneous family to prepare some other thank you gifts for Mr. Lin. Please pay more attention to your son's health. When your son recovers, there will naturally be another big thank you."

It was only then that Lin Xi realized that Eunuch Cao had come here specially to make a face for him today, and he immediately felt that the old eunuch was cute, and even Zhao Jingyi's image in his heart suddenly increased a lot.Originally, he wanted to brave the wind and snow, and he didn't even come to treat his son on New Year's Eve, but such a huge palace didn't even have a gift of thanks, which was too petty and natural.

It turns out that everyone remembers it.

It's just that Zhao Jingyi trusted him too much, and he clearly entrusted Zhao Yuanrong's future care to himself. For a while, Lin Xi didn't know whether to thank that trust, or complain that he was forced to assign a hot job to him.It was just two interviews, and even he himself was not that confident, and even once thought of the risks involved, he was about to shirk the matter.

However, no matter whether people who have met Zhao Jingyi like him or not, they will subconsciously feel that this man is reliable and convincing.

He said that he can do it, and he must be able to do it, so Lin Xi heard himself say very calmly: "We must do our best."

This is what Eunuch Cao wanted, so he didn't sit down any longer, and left, "Old Madam, Lord Hou, the miscellaneous family still has important matters to attend to, so it's inconvenient to disturb me, so I'm going back to the mansion on a business trip, please stay. "

Before leaving, he told Lin Xi a few more times, "Mr. Lin, if you need anything, please feel free to find a miscellaneous family in the palace."

"Thank you, Eunuch Cao." Lin Xi could only thank him.

After Eunuch Cao and the Xiao family brothers left, Lin Xi also got up to say goodbye. This time, these aunts and grandmas didn’t look at him critically, but with some pleasant surprises. Their faces were kind and they didn’t know what to ask Lin Xi to say. good.

He pulled him and said something before letting him go.

After Lin Xi left the Chongjin Hall, he let out the depression in his heart heavily.

Looking at the attitudes of a few aunts and cousins ​​who I don't know before and after Eunuch Cao came, I can see how important power is.

If Prince Rui's residence doesn't value him, today these aunts might give Mrs. Tai and the two aunts face and accept this marriage, but the girl's background and disposition probably won't be good, of course from the perspective of this era, Lin Xi can only do so.

Although he doesn't want to get married now, it's still uncomfortable to be looked down upon like this. This is the first time, and it's also the scariest.bare.Naked once.

Who said that modern people are becoming more and more snobbish, and the ancients' views on family status can be even stricter.

He didn't want to be a cousin who could only cling to the Yongning Hou Mansion.

Thoughts that have been tried many times lingered in Lin Xi's mind again.

When Lin Xi returned to Lanyue Xuan, Tuantuan was taking a few maidservants to sort out the thank you gifts from Prince Rui's residence, and when he saw him come back, he handed over the gift slips.Lin Xi took it and browsed it roughly. I don't know if Zhao Jingyi ordered it specially, or Cao Eunuch prepared it for him. The precious medicinal materials in it accounted for most of it. There are two 500-year-old ginseng, and there are many others It is not very common, and it looks quite practical, which is very much in Lin Xi's mind.

"It's easy to put them away, and put aside the medicines with different properties separately. Don't rush." ​​Lin Xi instructed, and the gloomy mood along the way has become much clearer.

People living in this world, how can they be satisfied everywhere, even Tianhuang nobles like Zhao Jingyi, in the eyes of others, they are just a poor widower.

But even though he had such an idea, it was time to make plans as early as possible. He couldn't always rely on the Yongning Hou Mansion to live.

If he wanted to get ahead, there was only one way in front of him now.

Lin Xi was sitting in front of the table, raised her hand and wrote an official character squarely.The big black characters are particularly eye-catching on the snow-white rice paper, like a bell ringing continuously.

Lin Xi frowned as she looked at the word.

Lin Qing warned him not to be an official in the prison, it was too difficult to be an official, and the gunshots in his previous life reminded him that his official shoes were wet, and he would never recover.So he tried his best to avoid taking this path, he was afraid that he would get out of hand just like in his previous life, and eventually he would end up with an unsatisfactory end again.

But Lin Xi's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes were fixed on the word. Even if he was reborn as a human being, he still couldn't be truly indifferent to fame and fortune. It was locked firmly by him before.

Sometimes he wondered over and over again, if he worked harder, his father would not be framed, if he had fame, would he be able to prevent his father from being wronged to death at a critical moment, and if he took a step back and said he could still Revenge?

As early as when he decided to go to Beijing, the shackles of this seal had been slowly unraveling.

Facing Prince Rui's residence twice this time, although Zhao Jingyi treated him politely, his superior attitude and domineering style still hurt his heart, but there was nothing he could do. Maybe it was Lin Xi's honor in the eyes of everyone.

Look, Prince Rui treats you differently, thank you quickly!

There was no way to avoid it, Lin Xi silently apologized to Master Lin in her heart, and her son would eventually go on this road.

So he took a pen and drew two paths under this official character: donating officials and imperial examinations.

As the nephew of the Marquis of Yongning, if he doesn’t take the imperial examination, he is just a petty official. Even if Lin Xi is white, it’s just a matter of effort. That's all for the ruling class, but the day of success is too slim, unless there is smoke from the ancestral grave one day.

If you want high-ranking officials and generous salaries in the future, you don't even have the threshold to be appointed as a prime minister and not take the imperial examination. Like Master Lin, Jinshi and rank are essential.

Now Lin Xi is only sixteen years old, although he is much later than those scholarly young masters, he still has a lot of chances to pass the exam.

Master Lin never expected his son to be able to squeeze across the single-plank bridge among thousands of troops with his weak body, but as a Tanhualang, it is a pity that he taught Lin Xi everything he taught.Besides, Lin Xi is not stupid. In her previous life, the provincial number one scholar with high scores was admitted to a university in Kyoto, and she was successfully admitted to the institution system in a place where many top scholars gather.

So even if Lin Xi doesn't like those stereotyped articles and the way of Confucius and Mencius, it's not difficult for him to write an article and talk about it.

Even if you are really incompetent and can't reach your majesty's answer, it will be easier to be a donator in the future.

Of course, there is another trail to go.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars, there is also a doctor, and the doctor is respected.

And...the resolute and stern face of Prince Rui appeared in front of Lin Xi's eyes. After healed the little prince, his reputation will definitely be great. At that time, with his back to Prince Rui's mansion, his life in the future will be very easy, and he may not even be able to say goodbye. Can enter too hospital.

However, the Imperial Physician is too closely connected with the imperial palace, and is easily involved in the secrets of the harem's high gate and back house, and the chance of capsizing in the gutter is also extremely high.

So Lin Xi calmly crossed out the medical word and ticked it under the imperial examination.

However, it is extremely necessary to make friends with Prince Rui's Mansion, Lin Xi's mouth curled up into a cold smile, she has already paid so much, she must get something in return.

I crumpled this up and threw it into the wastebasket, and then I still drew the cat and mouse that remembered a few fragments.
