[Red Mansion] Adopted daughter and child

Potatoes are potatoes, and the output is very large. In modern times, it has become one of the five staple foods in the world.Although the sweet potato is not as full as the potato, it has a sweet taste and is very popular among the people.

The most important thing is that these two crops are not very selective. Except for very few places, these two crops can be grown on a large scale across the country.

After the founding of New China, before the emergence of hybrid rice, potatoes and sweet potatoes played a very important role in the many years of famine.

Emperor Qianlong did not do many serious things in his life. His greatest achievement was that during his reign, the total population doubled and reached tens of millions.But the greatest credit is not the cleanliness of the officials in the Qianlong Dynasty, or how rich the country was under Qianlong's governance, but because high-yield crops such as potatoes and potatoes were finally extended to most of the country during his reign.

Food is sufficient, according to the Chinese people's idea of ​​more children, more blessings, the population will naturally increase.

But now, the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the world of Red Mansions have not yet entered the homes of ordinary people. They are only special vegetables for the rich and powerful, and they are rarely planted on a large scale. Naturally, no one knows how high-yielding these two crops are.

Seeing the thirsty eyes of the two, Lin Liu explained earnestly: "The planting method of potatoes and sweet potatoes, the former is more suitable for sprouting and cutting into pieces; the latter is more suitable for sprouting and cuttings. Whether it is the former or the latter, Relatively few seeds are needed, and the harvest is very large."

Lin Ruhai and Ji Song looked at Lin Liu, wanting to get a prepared answer.

Lin Liu thought for a while, and said a relatively conservative figure: "The yield per mu is two thousand catties, and if the care is done well, it may even be more."

In fact, if potatoes are planted scientifically on a large scale, even if they are only common varieties, the yield per mu of potatoes can reach [-] to [-] jin per mu; and if some high-quality varieties after breeding are carefully cared for, potatoes The yield per mu can even reach an astonishing eight thousand catties.

Potatoes are like this, sweet potatoes are not much less than it.

But firstly, potatoes and sweet potatoes at this time must be the most common original varieties, and secondly, a catty at this time is 16 taels, so Lin Liu has reduced the yield per mu by a lot.

But even if the yield per mu was only two thousand catties, it was enough to shock Lin Ruhai and Ji Song.

After all, the grain at this time is no more than four to five hundred catties per mu.

Before the advent of hybrid rice, food will always be the primary issue that every generation of government needs to consider.

After Ji Song left the Lin family, he lived at the bottom of the society for several years; when Lin Ruhai promoted the Yantian Law, he personally contacted the common people for several years.

Both of them are very clear about the yield per mu of wheat and rice, the staple food today.

The figure of [-] per mu fell into the ears of the two of them, and they almost thought they had heard it wrong, because for them, this was simply an astronomical figure that was unattainable and also unimaginable.

Lin Liu smiled and said, "The key is that these two crops don't pick the land very much."

The two stood up suddenly, almost unable to restrain the excitement in their hearts. They really wanted to go to the disaster-stricken area in person to verify with their own eyes whether the yield per mu was so exaggerated after potatoes were planted on a large scale.

Seeing the two people excited, Lin Liu felt a little hot in his heart.

but……

She smiled and stopped the two of them: "I know that you all want to go to the disaster-stricken place to preside over the work yourself, but you can't. Today's court cannot do without father, and Enke in the future needs Ji Song's personal protection."

The two of them froze, and looked at Lin Liu in a little astonishment.

Lin Liu smiled: "Do you want to leave me alone in the capital?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Ruhai and Ji Song's feverish minds instantly calmed down.They looked at each other and sighed in unison.

Lin Ruhai shook his head: "It's a pity that I can't witness the moment of potato harvesting with my own eyes."

Ji Song also looked regretful.

Lin Liu laughed, and pointed out a clear path for the two of them: "Although you can't go to the disaster-stricken place, the capital is not without land, you can find a piece of land in the capital to plant potatoes, as long as the final result is right, no the same ?”

The Lin family has never been short of land. After Ji Song was made Duke, he also got a large piece of land.

Furthermore……

"I remember that Huangzhuang grows potatoes all year round. If you don't want to plant them yourself, you can actually ask the person in charge of potato planting in Huangzhuang." Lin Liu smiled, "Although they may not plant as many as one acre, But according to the yield of their planting land, it is still possible to infer the yield of potatoes per mu.”

After hearing the solution, Lin Ruhai and Ji Song were not so regretful.

Lin Ruhai said: "If we can't go, who do you plan to send to preside over the promotion of potatoes and potato planting in the disaster-stricken areas? If these two crops really have such a high yield per mu, then the task of promoting potatoes and sweet potatoes is A sweet pastry is a great contribution that can be recorded in the annals of history."

Lin Liu nodded: "Isn't Guiling in the south of the Yangtze River? Let people collect potatoes and sweet potatoes in a large area in the capital, and at the same time bring the farmers who are responsible for planting potatoes and sweet potatoes in Huangzhuang. Send all the seeds to the disaster area. Gui Ling is smart and will definitely do a good job in this matter."

After a pause, she thought of the Year of the Deer and the Year of the Crane, "You can also let the Year of the Crane promote the high yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes in the newspaper, and let the Year of the Deer send the newspaper to the disaster-stricken area to promote it, and let Guiling When promoting new crops, it is less hindered."

In fact, after missing this year's spring planting, the disaster area is doomed to have no harvest this year.In order not to starve himself, Guiling took potatoes and sweet potatoes with him at this time, saying that they can be used as staple food after planting, so that they will not be hungry this year. The common people will definitely not reject potatoes and sweet potatoes.

But the most indispensable thing in this world is people who harm others and do not benefit oneself. The capital is not bad, because too many people have been killed and too many people's homes have been raided, but there are not many moths in peace.

Because the other places did not suffer too much damage, they did not have much respect for Lin Liu. I am afraid that many people want to take the opportunity to make trouble.

Lin Liu thought for a while, and said, "Why don't you give Guiling another Shangfang sword, and allow him the right to cut first and then strike?"

Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Liu and smiled helplessly: "If you want to give it, then give it."

It's also pretty good, at least it shows that the little unicorn really trusts Guiling.

Lin Liu looked at Ji Song and saw that he also nodded, so he made a decision without hesitation.

Lin Liu suddenly thought of something: "Ah, I almost forgot a very important thing, I have to write a letter to tell Guiling."

Lin Ruhai and Ji Song looked at each other, somewhat puzzled.

Fortunately, Lin Liu quickly explained, "Although the output of potatoes and sweet potatoes is very large, potatoes are actually more suitable as the main dish, but sweet potatoes have some restrictions. No matter how many potatoes you eat, just be careful not to eat sprouts and sprouts. Green ones are good, because they are poisonous; but sweet potatoes should not be eaten too much, as eating too much will not only cause abdominal distension and indigestion, but may also cause abdominal distension, heartburn, pantothenic acid and other symptoms, and even severe stomach pains.”

It is also because of this that potatoes are one of the top five staple foods in the world, but sweet potatoes are still used as snacks and vegetables.

"But it's not without a solution," Lin Liu smiled, "Potatoes and sweet potatoes can be processed to make vermicelli. Sweet potato vermicelli tastes very good, and there are not so many restrictions. It's just that after making vermicelli, the quantity is not so much gone."

Lin Ruhai thought for a while and nodded: "When you wrote to Guiling, you also told Guiling how to make sweet potatoes and potato vermicelli. When food is not enough, ordinary people are not stupid, and they will definitely not waste food. In the past, this kind of vermicelli might allow them to make money and improve their lives."

Potato flour has actually been invented now, but well, this thing was invented by the court of the previous dynasty. Like potatoes, it has only been circulated in the royal family and the powerful.

Lin Ruhai has never heard that sweet potatoes can also be used to make vermicelli, but thinking about it, if both can be used as staple food, it is normal to be able to make vermicelli.After all, wheat can be used to make noodles, rice can also be used to make vermicelli, potatoes have potato flour, and it is not surprising that sweet potatoes can be used to make sweet potato flour.

Ji Song liked to wander around since he was a child, and subconsciously sighed: "It's just that vermicelli is not very easy to sell. If there is any famous food, ordinary people can make a fortune just by making vermicelli."

Lin Liu's eyes lit up. If there is something famous for its food, it might really help the disaster-stricken area to develop its economy.

There seems to be no well-known method for potato flour, but sweet potato flour can be used to make hot and sour noodles. This kind of food is well-known throughout the country and is very popular.

But after thinking about it, she shook her head and denied the idea.

Hot and sour noodles are popular in regions like Sichuan and Sichuan that like to eat spicy food, but the affected places are more in the south of the Yangtze River. The taste is sour and sweet, and they can't eat spicy food at all.

I can cook and eat later

But before that, she has to promote chili.

The three of them discussed some more things, and then they discussed and confirmed the imperial decree for Guiling, and asked officials from the Ministry of Education to call in, to copy and transcribe, and then Lin Liu stamped the jade seal himself.

After writing the imperial decree to Guiling, Lin Ruhai remembered what they said before: "The imperial decree for Enke should be written as soon as possible, and sent to all parts of the country as soon as possible, so that more people will come to participate in Enke. The quality is better too."

Ji Song nodded, and also reminded: "There is also an imperial decree for the transfer of officials. We should also call the officials of the official department to discuss together. We must determine the whereabouts of officials from various places before Enke. The whereabouts of these officials have been arranged together. Otherwise, we will discuss the whereabouts of these officials now after the end of Enke, I am afraid that mistakes will occur in the rush."

Lin Liu nodded: "Father is more familiar with officials in the DPRK and China, so I will leave it to my father to be responsible for the transfer of officials? Ji Song is more familiar with the arrangements of the generals in the army, so let you arrange them?"

The two nodded and had no objection to this.

That leaves only Enke's decree.

Lin Ruhai has a better literary talent, and is about to draft an imperial decree as before.

Lin Liu said suddenly: "Father, if the Enke does not set the candidates' honors this time, as long as scholars who are willing to enter Beijing can apply for the Enke, do you think there will be trouble?"

Lin Ruhai paused at the tip of his pen, and looked at Lin Liu in a little surprise.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Do you want women to also be able to sign up for Enke?"

Although Lin Liu has grown a lot, and has also practiced the ability to keep his color unchanged after the collapse of a mountain during this period of time, he still has no defenses in front of him and Ji Song, and will not deliberately hide what is on his mind.

So he knew very well that the biggest reason why Lin Liu chose to be emperor was to change the status of women.And if you want to change the status of a certain group in society, the most convenient way is to let some of them enter the court and have the right to speak.

Only when someone in the group has the right to dictate to the entire country, the status of the entire group will be improved.

It is obviously impossible to only ask for charity from others.

Lin Liu glanced at Lin Ruhai, saw that he was not angry, and turned to look at Ji Song again.

Ji Song laughed: "When you must have wanted to be the emperor before, I guessed the reason. After all, although you started and led this rebellion, you have never revealed your desire to be the emperor before."

Since he didn't think about being an emperor before, and later felt that he must be an emperor, there must be something that Lin Liu can only do when he is an emperor, and what he and Lin Ruhai can't do when they are emperors.

He thought for a long time, and only thought of one unchangeable difference between Lin Liu and the two of them: gender difference.

Both he and Lin Ruhai are men, while Lin Liu is a woman.

Other than that, there is no essential difference between them and Lin Liu in terms of talent, education, intelligence, and strategy, and there are no things that only need her to be the emperor.

Lin Liu was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Thank you very much."

After finishing speaking, she nodded again, "Although there are not many literate women in the whole country, there must be people who have read poetry and books among them. I want to try to see if anyone is willing to break free from the shackles and go to the Come to the stage."

If there is no one who is willing to break free from the shackles...

Lin Liu shook her head, definitely not.

Where there is oppression, there are people who want to resist.It's just that no one provided them with a channel to resist before, but now that they have it, someone will definitely stand up.

Lin Ruhai and Ji Song looked at each other and nodded.

Lin Ruhai said: "Although it will cause some bad discussions, but it is just to allow women to participate in the imperial examination to be an official. Compared with you, the empress, it is really not a big deal."

Lin Liu was taken aback, then pursed her lips and laughed, "If that's the case, I can rest assured."

Lin Ruhai nodded. When drafting the imperial edict, he also included this item.

However, he is not optimistic about his daughter's thoughts. Although the imperial decree has been issued, there are only a few women who have read poetry and books willing to stand up, or even none——

Because once you come out and show your face, the marriage must be difficult.

Nowadays, almost all women regard the matter of getting married and having children as the most important node in their life, and I am afraid that not many people are willing to sign up for Enke.

It is of course good to let women take part in the imperial examination, but it is too early now, and it should be done a few years later.

But since Xiao Qilin is full of ambition and wants to do it, and it won't cause too much bad impact, she will do it if she does it. There is really no need to pour cold water on her head.

Ji Song glanced at Lin Ruhai who was frowning and thinking about the words of the imperial decree, looked carefully at Lin Liu, and smiled at her.

Lin Liu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

……

When the imperial decree was issued that everyone who wanted to participate in Enke, regardless of their fame or fame, or male or female, could sign up, it really caused an uproar in various places.

Because of this, Lin Liuxia's plan to buy all the potatoes and sweet potatoes left by each family in the capital did not attract the attention of others.

But just as Lin Ruhai said, with Lin Liu, the empress, poking at the supreme position, the news of allowing women to participate in the imperial examination is like boiling water.

First, these ancient men looked down on women by nature, thinking that even if the imperial court allowed women to take the imperial examination, it would be impossible for anyone to successfully pass the imperial examination; second, Enke's time was too short. Don't forget to review your homework on the road;

Thirdly, because this Enke is almost equivalent to exempting all the exams before the palace exam, shortening the exam time, the number of scholars who are eligible to apply has increased by more than ten times in an instant, and some of them have delayed the exam time due to various reasons. Enough, but a scholar who can only start from scratch.

Compared with women who can participate in Enke, those who may threaten their ranking in the exam are more concerned.

They must seize every day to review, so as not to be overtaken by others if they are not careful.

But such a result does not make Lin Liu happy, because in many cases, ignorance is a more uncomfortable attitude than hostility, because it means——

People have never taken you seriously, and they are sure that you have participated in the imperial examination, and you will not get a ranking at all.

This kind of attitude is really annoying, but Lin Liu has nowhere to say it. She can only hope in her heart that someone will stand up and slap these people in the face.

Unfortunately, until two months after the imperial decree was promulgated, no woman signed up.

Just when Lin Liu's imperial decree to allow women to participate in the imperial examination would become a joke, Jin Qiu suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, the second girl is here."

Lin Liu was taken aback, and quickly said, "Hurry up and bring people in."

As soon as Daiyu entered the door, she threw herself directly into Lin Liu's arms. She didn't have any idea of ​​superiority or inferiority, she still only regarded Lin Liu as her elder sister that she could rely on.

Such an attitude undoubtedly made Lin Liu very happy.

She rubbed Daiyu's face with a smile, and said with a smile: "Why do you think of coming to see me in the palace today? I have lived in the palace for a long time, and you don't even mention coming to see me in the palace. You've waited."

Daiyu smiled sheepishly: "I would like to go to the palace to visit my sister, but my mother said that you must be busy with many official duties soon after you ascended the throne, so let's not come in and disturb my sister."

Lin Liu smiled: "I have my father and Ji Song to help me in court, and I am not as busy as you think. I welcome you to come to see me in the palace. After all, I can't leave the palace all day, and I am worried that I will meet with you." Bad thing."

The gentleman does not stand under the wall.

Although Lin Liu is not a gentleman, she also knows that she is attractive now, and I am afraid that many people want to do something to her.So since she lived in the palace, she never left the palace.

However, she is busy with official duties all day long, so she doesn't have much free time. She spends most of her weekdays with Lin Ruhai and Ji Song discussing major affairs in the court, and she doesn't feel lonely or lonely. It's just that she misses her family sometimes. .

Daiyu looked at Lin Liu mischievously, and smiled narrowly: "Then I will enter the palace every day from now on, as long as my sister doesn't find me annoying."

Lin Liu laughed, and pinched Daiyu's fleshy face: "My Daiyu is so cute, it's too late for me to love her, how could she find you annoying?"

Daiyu immediately covered her face with a handkerchief in embarrassment: "Sister speaks more and more bluntly, she doesn't know how to be tactful, and she doesn't want to think that people who hear it will still feel ashamed."

Lin Liu shook his head helplessly: "I have to guess and guess when talking to my family, that's too tiring."

Dai Yuben also said it casually, but she didn't seriously think that Lin Liu's straightforwardness was bad, but she was a little embarrassed to be called cute by others.

The two sisters said something more personal, before Lin Liu asked, "You didn't come to play with me today, did you? But what happened to you?"

Daiyu's expression became serious: "I just want to ask, if there is no girl to participate in Enke, will my sister be affected?"

Lin Liu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "It will definitely have an impact, but it's not a big deal, so you don't have to take it to heart." After a pause, she looked at Daiyu, "You don't mean to sign up for Enke, help Shall I stand on the platform? Daiyu, if you don’t want to participate in Enke, there’s no need to sign up.”

Daiyu said with some coyness: "I don't want to participate. I wanted to compete with those men earlier, but there is no way. Now that there is a formal way, I am naturally interested in it."

She glanced at Lin Liu carefully, and explained, "Although I don't plan to be an official, it's just an imperial examination, and I still want to take part."

Lin Liu was helpless: "If that's the case, you should sign up. From ancient times to the present, there is no clear rule that scholars who have passed the Jinshi examination must serve the imperial court."

Don't you see, how many people who have been officials have chosen to "resign", and how many people have nowhere to be officials after passing the Jinshi exam?It's just that I don't want to be an official, it's not a big deal.

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, but soon became serious again: "But how will the examination room be arranged for women to participate in Enke this time? Will they be in the same examination room as men? How will the examiners arrange it? Who is in charge of the examination? ?”

Lin Liu was surprised for a moment, and answered one by one: "Naturally, there will be two exams in the exam room, and men and women will be tested separately; the examiners will be selected from among the female officials in the palace, and the ones who will be examined are also the old ladies in the palace."

Since she wants women to participate in this Enko, she naturally has to consider all aspects of the exam for them——

Today is ancient times, and she pays attention to the defense of men and women, so she will not let men and women mix together.

Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief: "My sister should post a notice so that the arrangement of the examination room can be communicated to all places. Otherwise, even if a woman intends to participate in Enke, she will give up due to misunderstanding. Others are fine, but check at the entrance of the examination room Some people cheat this level, but it makes people look away."

Before the ancient imperial examinations entered the examination room, someone would stand at the door and check the candidates one by one from top to bottom, from inside to outside.

Sometimes it might even be possible to have people take off their clothes to see if there is writing on your skin.

If it is more stringent, private parts may also be checked.

Because the details of women's participation in the imperial examination were not announced, Daiyu was very entangled before, and almost wanted to give up this Enke.

I just thought that if a woman didn't participate in Enke, maybe it would make my sister look bad, so I came to the palace to ask for details.

Lin Liu suddenly realized: "I said that it has been so long since the imperial decree was promulgated, how come there is not a single woman who signed up, so you are worried about this?"

She shook her head helplessly, and quickly asked someone to draft a notice, which was directly copied and posted in various parts of the capital.

As for other places, Lin Liu just gave up——

The time was too short, and when she sent the notice, those women from other places who had given up the imperial examination because of concerns before, would not have enough time to rush to the capital.

Lin Liu learned a lesson: "When I issue similar orders in the future, I will definitely write all the details in the imperial decree, so as to avoid similar oolongs from happening again."

Daiyu smiled: "My sister posted the notice, so maybe someone will sign up soon."

She blinked and said goodbye abruptly.

Lin Liu asked her why, and Daiyu smiled and said, "This time Enke can be regarded as unprecedented, and there will be no one in the future. I will be the first woman to sign up for the imperial examination. Maybe I can record it in the history books in the future." A sum. I can't waste time, what if someone signs up before me?"

Lin Liu shook her head with a smile, and did not stop her after all.

At noon the next day, Bichun came in to announce the good news: "I heard that after the second girl signed up, there were girls from several families who were ready to move. After the notice was posted, within a day, there were three girls who signed up. indivual."

Lin Liu was pleasantly surprised: "Who are they all?"

Bi Chun said: "In addition to our second girl, Mr. Sheng Man has also signed up, there is also a girl named Xue Baochai, and the remaining girl is named Ke, Liangyu. I heard that they are all well-educated people. Mr. Sheng Man didn't mention that Miss Xue was once selected as the princess's attendant, so she must have great talent and learning, and Miss Ke is not well-known, but according to the girls who know her, she is also a very talented girl. "

Lin Liu did not expect that among the people who signed up, three of them were his acquaintances.

Mrs. Sheng Man knew that the reason for signing up was to support herself, and whether she was willing to become an official was still unknown; there was no doubt about Xue Baochai's signing up, because she definitely wanted to earn a career for herself.

Because they knew each other, Lin Liu was more moved than surprised.

On the contrary, it was the girl Ke Liangyu who had never heard of it that surprised Lin Liu even more: "If there is a chance, I will definitely summon this girl Ke Liangyu and have a good talk with her."

Seeing that Lin Liu was happy, Bichun laughed empathetically.

After laughing, Lin Liu saw Bichunyan laughing at Yanyan, realized something, and said with a bit of annoyance: "Speaking of which, Bichun and you guys are also in their 20s? I was busy before For other things, it is really inappropriate to forget about your lifelong events."

From Lin Liu's point of view, in his twenties, he was naturally in his prime, but in ancient times...

Lin Liu frowned, and looked at Bichun, "Is there anyone you like? Tell me, I'll ask for you, and as long as the other party agrees, I will marry you."

Bichun was taken aback for a moment, but Lin Liu suddenly blushed when she mentioned her marriage.

But soon, she regained her composure, and then shook her head: "I don't have anyone I like, and I don't want to marry anyone. When I was living in Gusu, I often got along with Sister Xinghua, and I know her life quite well. .But the more I know, the more I feel that there is nothing good about being married."

Bichun smiled, "Sister Xinghua used to be by Madam's side. She had a high status and was very prestigious. When she went out, there were several servant girls who followed her. At that time, I didn't know how many girls envied Sister Xinghua. But when she got married, she still married. The man I like, but her life after marriage... Even if she wants to leave, she can't go far because of her children."

"I don't want to spend the rest of my life like Sister Xinghua."

Lin Liu looked at Bichun: "Are you sure? I don't think there is anything wrong with not getting married, but if you are impulsive, wait until you are old, and watch other people's children and grandchildren around their knees, enjoying the family happiness, I'm afraid you will regret it." of."

Bichun thought of Xinghua's very naughty son for a moment, and shook her head violently: "I don't like children, and I don't want to have children."

Lin Liu looked at Bichun and sighed, "No wonder you didn't remind me before." Then he paused, "Liang Xia, Jin Qiu, and Nuan Dong also have the same idea as you?"

Bichun glanced at Lin Liu and nodded, "They all feel that being with His Majesty is better than getting married, so they don't want to marry."

It would be fine if they lived better after marriage than before marriage, but the fact is, life after marriage is often not as good as before marriage, and they are easily bullied by their husbands and mother-in-law. If so, why should they marry?

The four maids have no relatives and no reason, and they don't have to worry about hurting their family members, so they can make their own decisions naturally.

Lin Liu called people to him and questioned them, making sure that they all had the same idea, and after sighing, he didn't force them to marry.

There are many dangers in getting married in modern times, let alone in ancient times.

Lin Liu didn't bother with this matter, but let people continue to watch the place where the department reported the registration. If there is a woman who signs up, remember to report at any time.

But Lin Liu didn't expect that, except for someone who signed up on the first day, there were no other women who signed up for Enke on the second and third day.

Lin Liu was stunned: "Bichun, you have someone to investigate and find out what's going on."

This is completely unreasonable. If no one came to sign up for Enke after she posted the notice, Lin Liu would not feel strange, but would think that these women had too many scruples and dared not take risks.

But on the first day, four women signed up for Enke, but on the second day, none of them, which is a bit strange.

Lin Liu was worried that there was something hidden in it, so she didn't dare to ignore it, so she naturally wanted someone to investigate clearly.

Even Lin Ruhai, who thought that Enke would not have many women to sign up this time, felt that the situation was not right after discovering that four women had signed up after the notice was posted.

After Lin Liu sent people out, Lin Ruhai also sent a few people.

It is easier for him to investigate these things because his men are more experienced.

……

Although someone in the Ke family was an official, because the family valued their reputation very much, the officials of the Ke family did not do too much. This time, they saved their lives and managed to get a position.

In the area where the Ke family lives, their family is still very famous.

So when Lin Liu sent someone to inquire about the news, but was vaguely pointed out to the Ke family, and followed this line to find the vicinity of the Ke family, it was easy to get the news of the Ke family.

It turned out that after the first day, the reason why no other women came to sign up for Enke was because Ke Liangyu was found to have signed up for Enke, and was beaten to pieces by her father with a whip, and now she is even locked up at home. Xiulou, she was not allowed to go out at all.

Lin Liu was furious after hearing this, and almost wanted to arrest Ke Liangyu's father and beat him up.

But today's law is like this. Even if a parent kills a child, it is not illegal at all.

Even if Lin Liu wanted to teach Ke Liangyu's father a lesson, there was no suitable reason.

She was hesitating, what method should she use to rescue Ke Liangyu.Lin Ruhai, who got the latest news, ran into the palace with sweat profusely: "Little Qilin, hurry up and write an imperial decree to summon Ke Liangyu!"

Lin Liu was taken aback, and was about to ask carefully, but saw Lin Ruhai wave his hands repeatedly: "Time is running out, if you don't write, Ke Liangyu's life will be lost."

Lin Ruhai knew very well what Lin Liu wanted to do, so she became more and more aware of Ke Liangyu's significance to the other women who were still watching, and she must not have any accidents.

Lin Liu was taken aback, and didn't dare to hesitate, so she hurriedly sent someone to bring an imperial decree, took a pen and wrote the imperial decree that I heard that Ke Liangyu was both talented and beautiful, and summoned her to the palace for an audience, then took the jade seal and sealed it.

After Lin Ruhai received the imperial decree, he quickly handed it to the guard at the door: "Hurry up and go to Ke's house to read the imperial decree."

The guards didn't dare to stay, they rushed to lead a horse and galloped out of the palace.

After the people left, Lin Ruhai poured a cup of tea before saying: "News came from Lin Da, saying that the girl Ke Liangyu was bloody, her injuries had just healed up, and she was ready to get out of bed, so she quietly packed her luggage and wanted to escape. Go out and seek refuge with relatives."

"Unexpectedly, the girl next to her complained. She failed to leave, but was whipped again. The old wounds were not healed, and new wounds were added. People who heard that they saw it felt scared."

Lin Ruhai frowned, completely unable to understand why some people don't love their children, but instead do such deadly things to them.

He sighed, "Miss Ke seemed to feel that she was hopeless in the imperial examination, so she quarreled with her father. During the quarrel, she seemed to mention that she could not participate in Enke this year, but she would participate in the future. If Li also wants to participate, then her father will be angry, and then he will say that she is not a woman, and she will sink Miss Ke into the pond."

Lin Liu was startled: "Shen Tang? Is he crazy? Ke Liangyu didn't do anything, but just wanted to take the imperial examination. Both the examiner and the examination room are separated from men, where is it not a woman's way? "

Lin Ruhai couldn't figure it out either.

Ji Song, who just came in, knew a thing or two: "The Ke family values ​​reputation very much, and the whole family is proud of the few chastity archways placed in the ancestral hall at home. Although Miss Ke's behavior is not out of the ordinary, but for the Ke family ..."

"The Ke family thinks that if Ke Liangyu gets married, they will damage their reputation if they really reconcile for the imperial examination, so they want to get rid of the hidden danger of Miss Ke in advance."

Although he knew the reason, Ji Song frowned deeply, apparently looking down on the behavior of the Ke family, "At the beginning, my father had a big fight with the Ke family because of their words and deeds, and they broke up."

Lin Liu was furious: "The Chastity Archway? How much does the Ke family have? Are you still proud of the Chastity Archway?"

Lin Liuteng stood up suddenly: "Come here, go to the Ke family's ancestral hall and smash all the chastity archways of his family!"
