Passing through the bustling crowd and detouring an alley, the family finally arrived at Lin's Mansion.Different from the extravagant style that Li Wugeng imagined, the Lin Mansion was a small mansion, a circle smaller than the Xu Mansion, ordinary, simple and unpretentious, not at all like the place where the court officials lived.

Lin Fu waited for them at the door with everyone in the family. As soon as they appeared, he hurried up to meet them.

"Call it grandpa." Yun Shuzhi taught Liu Xu that the child could already be called daddy when he was eight months old, and they have been teaching the child to call him grandpa and grandma along the way.

Little Liuxu's big eyes flickered, and she looked at Lin Fu suspiciously.

"My dear grandson!" Lin Fu happily stretched out his arms to hug him, and Liu Xu suddenly became excited, twitched his body, and threw himself into his arms.Yun Shuzhi was startled, hurriedly supported her, and carefully handed her to Lin Fu.

"Grandpa! Grandpa..." The little guy yelled happily, his chubby body bouncing up and down.Lin Fu was very happy, and carried her to his brother's place.Jinyu didn't like to talk, she just looked at them in a daze, then turned around and threw herself into Li Wugeng's arms.Li Wugeng was quite helpless, coaxing him to call someone, but this guy just refused.

Lin Fu didn't care, this kid was exactly the same as his father when he was a child, even his temperament was similar.Yun Shuzhi was very bored when he was a child, and he didn't speak much when he was two or three years old. He only called mother. At that time, everyone thought there was something wrong with him, but it got better as he got older.Some children are like this, smart and clever, but naturally dull, unreasonable and talkative, but they know what the people around them say, but they just don't want to communicate.

"Go in first, the food and drink are ready, let's talk about it after dinner." Lin Fu greeted them to enter the mansion.

Everything in Lin's mansion is simple and nothing special. When Li Wugeng entered the city gate, he was worried that he would not adapt, but he was relieved when he arrived in the mansion.The meal was also very simple, after the two siblings were taken away, Lin Fu asked Yun Shuzhi to take Li Wugeng out for a walk.

In the future, he will definitely come once or twice a year, and Yun Shuzhi will take him around first to get acquainted with him.

After walking for a long time, he was watched by others for a long time. Li Wugeng wanted to break away from his hand, but he couldn't shake it off, so he could only shyly say: "Let go, others are watching."

Yun Shuzhi held him tightly: "If you want to see it, just watch it."

Li Wugeng was thin-skinned, but Yun Shuzhi liked it very much. He pulled him away, as if silently telling everyone about their relationship.Li Wugeng had no choice but to keep his head down and follow him.The two went to Tiancheng Street to take a look at the mansion that Lin Fu had given them. The place was small, but it was unique, and Li Wugeng really liked it.He didn't know how expensive this place was, and Yun Shuzhi didn't tell him.

"If you really like it, let someone come over tomorrow to clean it up and do some shopping. Next time I come back, I will live here."

Li Wugeng shook his head: "What will my parents think if I live here, I still live there, and I don't come here often anyway."

Hugging him, putting his chin on his shoulder, Yun Shuzhi held his earlobe, and said vaguely: "The family is small, and the eldest brother and his family are also there. Since daddy gave you the title deed, he won't mind us coming to live here. of."

This person is really... dishonesty when he talks.Li Wugeng caught him and said to him, "It's broad daylight, stay safe!"

"There's no one else here..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Wugeng shook off him and wanted to go out.How could he let someone go so easily, drag him back, and nibble the other's lips until they turned red before letting go in satisfaction.

Gradually slanting to the west, the dim glow hits the blue tiles, and hangs down from the roof to the stone slabs, adding a layer of color to the ground.

Before returning home, Yun Shuzhi took people around outside the palace. If he couldn't get in, he could only look through the tall palace wall. Li Wugeng felt bored and wanted to tell him to go back, but he caught a glimpse of a figure—— Zhong Qi'an? !

"Hey, is that your junior brother?" He was not sure, after all, the other party was wearing an official uniform.

Yun Shuzhi narrowed his eyes and nodded, "He came to the palace with General Zhong two days ago, but he hasn't returned to Qingliang yet."

Li Wugeng was very surprised, Zhong Qi'an was only eleven or twelve years old, how could he be an official at such a young age?Suppressing the doubts in his heart, he asked, "Why did he become an official?"

Knowing what he was surprised, Yun Shuzhi leaned into his ear and explained in a low voice: "The Zhong family holds half of the military power in the imperial court. The late emperor ordered that all men in the Zhong family be given titles at birth, but they are just a man with no real power. When they reach the age of 12, they will be sent to the palace to be accompanied by the princes."

"Imprisonment?" Li Wugeng blurted out subconsciously, and then quickly covered his mouth. You can't say these words indiscriminately. If someone listens to them, you may be in trouble again.

"En." Yun Shuzhi looked at him appreciatively. Under the power, one has to be careful every step of the way. If one is not careful, one will be forever lost.No matter how loyal the Zhong family is, the Holy One is not always on guard. The Zhong family has been weakened repeatedly over the years. Except for General Zhong's status, the others are miserable.Either guard the border, or be imprisoned in the palace, the Zhong family no longer has the glory of the past.

Not only the Zhong family, but also the Lin family.If it weren't for Lin Fu's repeated concessions and repeated praises of determination in the past few years, I'm afraid it would only be worse than the Zhong family.Thinking of Lin Fu, a dignified third-rank official, he didn't even dare to have the slightest luxury in food, clothing, housing and transportation, so he had to retreat to the land beside the city gate.Lin Jiangcheng is now serving as the emperor's teacher in the palace. He looks glamorous on the surface, but in fact he is not. He is just asked to go to the palace to wait for him every day. When the emperor is in a good mood, he can talk to him. Wait there for a day.

Zhong Qi'an can be regarded as a victim of political struggle.But there is no way, no one can help him.

"Would you like to go over and say hello?" Seeing Zhong Qi'an's downcast look, Li Wugeng seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Let's go home first. He knows we've come to Beijing. If he wants to see us, he'll find us." Yun Shuzhi didn't plan to see Zhong Qi'an. good.

Li Wugeng looked over there, Zhong Qi'an had gone far away, let's wait for him to come by himself.It was getting late, and if they didn't go back home, they would send someone to look for them, and the two of them went back along the way they came.

As soon as he entered the house, Yun Shuzhi sensed that something was wrong. The mansion was empty at a glance. He went to the gatekeeper and asked, it turned out that the emperor in his insignificant clothes had come to his house for a visit.Since it was impossible to hide when he came back, Yun Shuzhi had no choice but to ask Li Wugeng to follow him to the front hall to have a look.

The people in the house were all waiting in the front hall, and Li Wugeng followed closely with sweaty palms, not daring to lift his head.Stepping into the hall, Yun Shuzhi pulled Li Wugeng to kneel down, and said respectfully: "The grass people kowtow to the emperor."

"Get up, I just heard that you are back, come here to have a look, what are you doing with such a big battle." There was a message from the hall, the man was handsome, in his early twenties, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, seemingly gentle and harmless .He was dressed in a light blue dress, embroidered with gold thread, and a mighty and domineering golden dragon was drawn out from the hem of his clothes.

Clothes embroidered with golden dragons, also known as Weifu visits, I am afraid they are specially here for the Lin residence.Li Wugeng is not a fool, he also sensed something was wrong in his heart, and he didn't dare to make mistakes, so he would do whatever Yun Shuzhi did.Unexpectedly, the emperor had already noticed him, and ordered: "Raise your head."

Startled, Li Wugeng clenched his hands tightly in fright, raised his head slowly, but didn't dare to look at him.

But the person sitting in the hall was even more surprised than him, his eyes were full of disbelief, and it took him a long time to calm down, no longer looking at him, but turned to ask Lin Fu a few words.Li Wugeng was in a daze, their words couldn't reach his ears at all, and it was Yun Shuzhi who dragged him to the backyard in the end.

"Stupid?" Yun Shuzhi shook his eyes twice.Only then did Li Wugen come back to his senses, and he breathed a sigh of relief with some fear.Seeing how frightened he was, Yun Shuzhi couldn't laugh or cry, so he comforted him a little funny.

It was getting late, but the emperor had no intention of going back, instead he stayed in the mansion, apparently he wanted to eat before leaving.Lin Fu didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly ordered his servants to cook.

Yun Shuzhi went to the front to watch, while Li Wugeng stayed in the backyard with two baby dolls.The second child was very skinny, he crawled around on the bed, and finally pressed his elder brother.Li Wugeng picked her up and pretended to hit her, but the child thought he was going to play with him, so he giggled.

While making noise, a voice suddenly came from outside the house.

"Master, it's here."

The door was pushed open, and there was a boy about Zhong Qi'an's age.There are no other children in the house, so he should be Lin Hongwen.Li Wugeng put down the catkins and greeted him first.

"Auntie." Lin Hongwen called out politely as well.Glancing at the two little dolls on the bed, his eyes lit up, and he wanted to tease them, but the etiquette since elementary school did not allow it. In his opinion, it was impolite.

Li Wugeng knew what he was thinking at a glance, and said gently, "Come and sit."

Lin Hongwen looked at the maidservant behind him, walked half a step and then stopped.The maid was winking, so she withdrew and stood guard at the door.Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Lin Hongwen went over slowly and sat down.

"Call me brother." Li Wugeng picked up Liu Xu and taught. Liu Xu didn't want to be hugged, so she twisted her body in resistance.I thought she would bark, but my brother followed suit.

Lin Hongwen was very happy, pinched Jinyu's face, Jinyu raised his head, held him with his chubby little hand, and grinned.

"He likes you very much." Li Wugeng said to Lin Hongwen.

Lin Hongwen nodded, and asked expectantly, "Auntie, can I hug him?"

Li Wugeng smiled and hugged Jinyu to him.Lin Hongwen happily took it, and patted Jinyu on the back just like him.

After hugging for a while, someone came outside and told them to go eat.Lin Fu originally planned to eat with the emperor himself, brothers Yun Shuzhi and Lin Jiangcheng, and let the others eat in the back, but the emperor said to let them come together, so that everyone can sit together and have a good time.

Li Wugeng quietly asked Yun Shuzhi, the emperor's name is Yang He'an, twenty-one, and has been on the throne for more than eight years.The young emperor is not very old, but his ability is not small, and the court is peaceful and barren, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe.
