Didn't Love You Enough

After entering September, there was a Lin Xiaozhu in the Crown Prince's East Palace who was favored by His Royal Highness, and this matter had been known both inside and outside the court.And Lin Jiabao, the legendary Lin Xiaozhu who is as beautiful as a fairy, is absent-mindedly writing in his small study.

"Little Master Lin, I need to rest for a while..." Li Zhengqiu, the master who taught Lin Jiabao, asked him.

Li Zhengqiu is a disciple of His Highness the Crown Prince. He used to work in the Imperial Academy. He is now over half a century old and has a high attainment in calligraphy and painting.After Xuanyuan Hancheng found out, he asked Li Zhengqiu to teach Lin Jiabao.

Xuanyuan Hancheng said to Li Zhengqiu that he didn't need Lin Jiabao to take the imperial examination, and he didn't want Lin Jiabao to be proficient in all kinds of poetry, poetry, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.As long as he can read and understand characters, it is enough, and I hope that Li Zhengqiu can teach Lin Jiabao in calligraphy and painting.

Li Zhengqiu would come to Pingle Garden every other day for two hours to teach Lin Jiabao, and would leave homework for Lin Jiabao to practice by himself.Li Zhengqiu was not happy when he first received the order from His Highness the Crown Prince.But because His Royal Highness ordered it, he could only come to Pingle Garden to teach Lin Xiaozhu.

Li Zhengqiu also has the arrogance of a scholar, thinking that he was born as a Jinshi, and he wants to teach the servant of His Highness the Prince to read and write...

But when Li Zhengqiu saw Lin Jiabao himself, he changed his mind.Lin Xiaozhu is very different from the rumors, his temperament is clean and pure, and he has a childlike innocence.Looking at Lin Jiabao who was not much older than his grandson, Li Zhengqiu easily developed a good impression of him.

Lin Xiaozhu is very polite and respects him as his master.Moreover, Lin Xiaozhu studies very seriously and works very hard, and can complete the homework assigned to him very well, especially Lin Xiaozhu's talent in painting, which makes him like this well-behaved and sensible Lin Xiaozhu.It also made Li Zhengqiu pay more attention to teaching Lin Xiaozhu.

"Master Li, I'm distracted..." Lin Jiabao looked at Li Zhengqiu apologetically. September has already arrived, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is not far away.Thinking of this time, the family members will soon be on their way to Beijing.

"Little Master Lin, are you tired?" Li Zhengqiu looked at the dark red mark on Xiaozhu Lin's neck that could not be concealed by his collar, and thought about the rumors that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was staying in Pingle Garden every night.As someone who has experienced it, how could he fail to guess that Lin Xiaozhu was exhausted.Sigh... His Royal Highness is still young after all, he doesn't know how to control... Lin Xiaozhu is still young, it seems that he is tired and listless.

"Master, I'm not tired, I will write well, and I won't be distracted anymore." Lin Jiabao began to write earnestly.

Now most of the people in Pingle Garden agree with Li Zhengqiu, this is really wronging His Highness the Crown Prince!

Xuanyuan Hancheng's current life is very sweet and happy, the only downside is that the nights are more difficult, every night is always a test of his self-control!

Xuanyuan Hancheng never knew that he would have such a strong desire for Lin Jiabao's immature body.Whenever the baby lies under his body, the appearance of trusting and relying on him is so alluring.

Every time Xuanyuan Hancheng wished to lick and kiss every piece of skin on the baby's body, of course he did that all the time...

In short, the current Xuanyuan Hancheng can only satisfy his cravings but can't swallow his stomach, a miserable stage where he can only taste it...

Lin Jiabao finished writing a piece of tracing red conscientiously, and Li Zhengqiu commented and explained to him after reading it.In the end, he was assigned two pages of homework in large print.

Li Zhengqiu pointedly said: "Little Master Lin, your body is the most important thing. If you feel that two large characters are too much, just write one. A good body is the most important thing... Don't rely on your youth to be impatient, you must know that water flows forever Only then can it last for a long time..."

Lin Jiabao didn't hear the meaning in Master Li's words, and replied blankly: "Master, I understand. If there are not many large characters on two pages, I can write them well."

Li Zhengqiu looked at Lin Xiaozhu's serious expression, and sighed, thinking that if he had a chance in the future, he would dare to mention it to His Highness the Crown Prince...

After Li Zhengqiu left, Yuan Qing stepped forward and asked Lin Xiaozhu with concern: "Do you feel tired, Xiaozhu? You should go and rest for a while."

Lin Jiabao shook his head, he took a nap today and didn't feel tired at all.

"Then what's on your mind, little master?" Yuan Qing asked, observing Xiaozhu Lin's expression.

Lin Jiabao still shook his head, he had learned palace rules from the Jiaoyin nuns.He is now a member of His Royal Highness, and it is different from before. He can no longer meet his family members casually.The palace rules are strict, how could he make an exception for a servant like him.

In the Lin Family Village, Lin Dazhuang's house had just been expanded. As usual, Lin Dazhuang ordered half a piece of pork from the village butcher early on, and hosted a banquet for some acquaintances in the village who were waiting.

After the expansion of the Lin family's house, it was much larger than the original one. Now Lin Dazhuang's house has seven or eight rooms of different sizes, and the area of ​​the yard is doubled as before.Now there is a main room, one for Lin Dazhuang and his wife, one for Lin Jiawen and his wife, one for Lin Lier and Lin Xiuer, one for the Lin family, and a slightly larger room for Lin Jiabao.

"Da Zhuang family, your family's life is getting more and more prosperous these days. Jiawen has been admitted as a scholar, and the family is about to have a baby, and Jiabao is so promising in the palace. It's really enviable!" Sitting in the chair The upright person on the table praised Zhang Huiniang.

Everyone in the village has heard from Lin Jiaojiao's mother that Lin Jiabao works in the empress's palace. The noble lady served in front of her.But the people in the village are not stupid. The empress is the mother of the country, and working in her palace is no different than working in other places.Didn't you see such a big package brought back by Lin Jiabao?The Lin family has built a big house, and it will be one of the best families in the Lin family village from now on.

"Haha...it's all about the children themselves." Zhang Huiniang was also very happy after hearing her words, and said modestly.

"If you want me to tell you, Hui Niang, you just wait to enjoy the blessings. The children are all so outstanding. Your family Jin'er is also married so well, and your family's Lier is not young anymore, and she grows well. Let your family, Jin'er, look for a good family in the city." The woman on the side said in agreement.

Zhang Huiniang looked at Lin Lier who was greeting Zhou Hai's family, and smiled, "Lier is not in a hurry, besides, I don't want to marry her too far away from me."

The sound of horseshoes sounded outside the courtyard, and it was Lin Jiner who came with her husband Qin Kaixing and eldest son Cong.

"Hey...my grandson! Let grandma hug me..." Zhang Huiniang picked up her little grandson and kissed him hard on the face, which made Brother Cong giggle.

Qin Kai went up to say hello to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, "This time, on the one hand, I am here to congratulate my father-in-law and mother-in-law on their new home, and on the other hand, I want to discuss going to Beijing with my father-in-law and my elder brother."

Just as she was talking, she heard the sound of horseshoes coming from outside the yard, "Who else is coming?" Lin Jiner looked outside the yard, a small carriage stopped, a little girl jumped out of the carriage, took some gifts from the carriage, and presented to they come.

I saw the little girl walking in front of them holding the gift, and said to Lin Dazhuang and Zhang Huiniang: "Master Lin, Mrs. Lin, I am from the royal master's house in the city, and I am here to give you gifts by the order of our young mistress. "

Everyone in the Lin family frowned when they heard this, and Zhang Huiniang said to the little girl even more rudely: "We appreciate your young mistress' kindness, so let's take it back. We won't accept it!"

The girl was in a stalemate with them for a while, seeing that they refused to accept the gift, so she had to go back with the gift.

The young mistress of Master Wang's house was exactly Lin Chun'er who had gone to celebrate.

Lin Chun'er's luck is indeed good. After Chongxi married into Wang Zhubo's family, her husband's condition gradually improved.This made the two elders of the Wang family like her very much, and felt that it was the right thing to do.

At that time, Lin Dali's family was very proud, especially the master Wang's family sent someone to intercede with Li Zheng and the elders of the clan, so Lin Dali's family law was spared.Itching the teeth of Lin Dazhuang's family, he declared in front of the family that he did not recognize Lin Dali as a relative.

Lin Dali and his wife didn't take it seriously, they were very ostentatious in the village.They bought silk and satin clothes again, and wore gold and silver clothes, fearing that others would not know that they were rich.

Afterwards, Lin Dali's family lived in a big house, bought ten acres of good land and rented it out, and bought two maids and women to take care of them.Lin Dali no longer works as a carpenter, but lives a happy life collecting rent and enjoying the blessings.He brags about how rich he is and that he is an in-law of the official family when he meets everyone, which makes the villagers unwilling to talk to them.

Lin Chun'er's husband recovered after half a year, and Lin Chun'er herself lived the life of a young mistress.And under the leadership of Mrs. Wang, she also entered the circle of upper-class female relatives in Pei County.

Lin Chun'er also met Lin Jin'er a few times, and she was very jealous. Looking at Lin Jin'er's dress and style, it seemed that Lin Jin'er had a better life than her.snort!Lin Chun'er thought she just married a merchant, so what's so great...

It didn't take long for Lin Chun'er to feel complacent when she realized that her life as the young mistress of the official family was not easy. Although she was kind to the Wang family, the two elders of the Wang family were also kind to her.But her husband, Wang Xuebo, doesn't like her very much. Lin Chun'er has worked since she was a child, and her skin is dark and rough. Wang Xuebo seldom goes to her room because of her meritorious service.And Lin Chun'er is illiterate. Although Wang Xuebo didn't even pass the entrance examination as a child student, he likes to be arty.The two couldn't talk together at all, and the most annoying thing was that Wang Xuebo had already had two girls in the house.Those two maids are prettier and more beautiful than her, and they dominate her husband every night.Only then did she realize how difficult it is to be a happy bride without her husband's love and children, and without the support of her mother's family.

At this time, Lin Chun'er thought of the uncle's family, especially after Lin Jiawen was admitted as a scholar, he always wanted to restore the relationship between the two families, but Lin Dazhuang's family refused every time.

Lin Chun'er was secretly angry when she saw the girl came back with a gift. "I really don't know what's good..." Her parents also came to her door to give gifts and apologize at her request, but they failed every time.Sigh... If it weren't for her younger brother Lin Jiawang's lazy food, it would be nice if he didn't hold her back.How could she please Lin Dazhuang's family.I heard that Lin Jiabao had a good life in the palace, but I don't know what would have happened if she had entered the palace...

A few days later, Lin Dazhuang and Lin Jiawen bid farewell to their families and set off for the capital together with Qin Kaixing.

Qin Kaixing took two large carts of cloth to the capital to test the water this time, and he was accompanied by two assistants and four servants.All the way along the official road, I arrived in the capital smoothly after ten days of walking.

It was already night after entering the capital, and the group of them first found a clean inn to stay.

"Father-in-law and eldest brother should go to rest first. It's been a hard journey. This time the journey went well. We arrived early and there are more than ten days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Tomorrow, I will go to find out about the meeting with the palace people." Qin Kai went along the way He took good care of the Lin family father and son.

"Kai Xing, you have worked hard too. Let's rest early." Lin Dazhuang was very satisfied with this son-in-law along the way. Fortunately, they came out with his son-in-law this time. His son-in-law is very capable, and the arrangements along the way were properly arranged. Let them really worry a lot.

Early the next morning, while they were having breakfast, Qin Kaixing had already inquired clearly about all the things they wanted to inquire about.Talking to them about the news they inquired about, "On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, starting from the hour of Chen, the palaces will be sent out in batches for each palace to reunite with their families for an hour. Naturally, the Queen's Palace is at the top. Then we can see Jiabao."

"That's really great!" Lin Jiawen and Lin Dazhuang were very happy to hear that.

After breakfast, Qin Kaixing, Lin Jiawen and Lin Dazhuang walked around the capital.The inn they stayed in was in the west of the city. There were more ordinary people living here, and it was very prosperous and lively.On the east side of the city lived dignitaries, and further inside was the inner city imperial city, where the relatives of the emperor and officials of the imperial court lived.

After walking around for a while, Qin Kai rented a small yard with a shop in front.After paying half a month's rent, everyone left the inn in the afternoon and moved all the things there.Lin Dazhuang and Lin Jiawen helped organize the goods and set up the shop, and it was all done in the evening.

Qin Kaihang is going to open for business tomorrow, and put up the signboard of Qinjiabuzhuang. "Father-in-law and eldest brother will trouble you this afternoon. It will be fine tomorrow, so I don't need to bother you. Just me and the guys are fine."

"We are all a family, so you don't need to be so polite. Your elder brother and I both have strength haha!" Lin Dazhuang said.

"By the way, I found out that there is a place called "Youjian Bookstore" in the capital. Anyone with a reputation can read and read there. Brother, you can go and see it tomorrow. It's at the junction of the west and east of the city." Qin Kaixing Talking about what I heard when I inquired about the storefront today.

"Then we must go and see it tomorrow." Lin Jiawen was very yearning after hearing this.There are not many large bookstores in Pei County, and there are few books that can be borrowed.And books are very expensive, and his family's conditions are average, so he can't buy books often.

Early the next morning, Lin Jiawen went to the bookstore that Qin Kaixing mentioned yesterday after having breakfast.This bookstore is really big, with three floors, and it is the largest bookstore Lin Jiawen has ever seen.

When Lin Jiawen went inside, someone like Xiao Er immediately came up to him. "Brother, you have a reputation, please come and register first."

After the registration, Xiaoer and Lin Jiawen said: "You can read freely on the first and second floors here, but you can't take the books out of the bookstore, you can only read them in the bookstore. If you need to provide tea and snacks, you can go to the third floor. Please Take good care of the books, if there is any damage, you will be compensated according to the price."

Lin Jiawen thanked Xiao Er, and first took a look around on the first floor. There are many kinds of books in this bookstore, and there are tables and chairs beside each row of bookshelves.There were many people in the bookstore but it was very quiet. Lin Jiawen saw that everyone was sitting and reading quietly, even if there were discussions, they were very quiet.

Lin Jiawen couldn't wait to choose a book he was interested in, and sat aside to read it.

In the next few days, Lin Jiawen plunged into the ocean of knowledge and spent every day in the bookstore.

In the bookstore, Lin Jiawen also met Qian Qingkun, who is also a scholar. The two hit it off and admired each other's talents. "Brother Lin, haha, I really can't tell from your appearance. At first I thought you were studying martial arts! I didn't expect that we have so many similarities. It's great to know such a like-minded friend like you. , we can often discuss articles together in the future.”

When Qian Qingkun saw Lin Jiawen for the first time, he was curious to see that he was so thick and rough that he was also a scholar, so he started chatting with him.Unexpectedly, they chatted like that, and then they went to the third floor of the bookstore, drinking tea and chatting together.

"Brother Qian, I am also very happy to meet you as a friend. Unfortunately, I came to the capital with my family to meet my younger brother on the Mid-Autumn Festival. I will go back after the meeting." Lin Jiawenye regretted that the books in the bookstore here He hasn't seen enough.

"Ah! That's a pity. Is your younger brother a palace man in the palace? This time, His Royal Highness is entrusted with the blessing of eliminating the barbarians. The emperor's grace and empress's grace are magnanimous. This Mid-Autumn Festival's grace is unprecedented." Qian Qingkun said again, "If you want me to say that His Highness the Crown Prince is really an excellent prince, he is not only invincible in military affairs, but also values ​​us literati. I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is behind the bookstore. Children can also read books."

"Yes, I am really grateful for this gift. Otherwise, I don't know when I will see my brother! The family misses him very much." Lin Jiawen said with emotion.

"I have an aunt who also works in the palace, so she knows something about it. Which palace does your brother work in?" Qian Qingkun asked.

"My younger brother works as a maid in the empress's palace, and he makes dim sum in the imperial dining room." Lin Jiawen replied truthfully when he heard Qian Qingkun's question.

"That's great. Compared with some places, this is a really good place. Your brother is lucky." Qian Qingkun thought for a while. "It is said that there is a secret about His Royal Highness in the Empress's Palace."

Qian Qingkun said mysteriously, "I heard that His Royal Highness has taken a fancy to a servant in the empress's palace, and now he loves it day and night. I heard that the servant is still very young!"

Lin Jiawen frowned when he heard this, and just laughed it off without thinking too much.Which of those noble people doesn't have some romantic affairs.His Highness the Crown Prince's wisdom and martial arts have already spread throughout the world, and he is decisive and ruthless in dealing with the barbarians.I didn't expect it to be a bit of a hobby...

And Qin Kaixing's side is also progressing smoothly, and the cloth is very good after just a few days of opening.There are a lot of good cloth and satin in the capital, and the colors are novel and beautiful, but the price is also high.

The quality of the cloth brought by Qin Kaixing is good, and the pattern is outdated on their side, but it is relatively new in the capital, and the price is relatively affordable.It is still very popular with the people in the west of the city.

Qin Kaixing is very happy. If this continues, the goods brought this time will be cleared in a few days.Thinking that it was the right time to come to Beijing this time, not only sold the inventory, but also made a small profit.When I go back, I will buy some popular goods in the capital, and I will definitely make a lot of money. It would be even better if I can find regular buyers.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the Lin family father and son and Qin Kaixing are full of expectations for the meeting with Lin Jiabao...
