The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber

After Liangjiang Governor Gali left, the entire Xuzhou Mansion entered a rare period of peace. With a large number of reserve officials sent by the imperial court to make up for the gap of low-level officials, the operation of Xuzhou Mansion completely returned to normal.

Those workers who were rescued from the private salt dens in Yunlong Lake before, after careful screening, have all been released without any problem, and went back to their respective homes. All officials, businessmen, etc. involved in the mansion have all been sentenced in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Dayong Dynasty.

After getting busy with the follow-up interrogation and investigation and a series of things, it was almost the end of the new year, and Lin Ruhai and Jia Min came letter after letter to urge Lin Tian to go to Yangzhou Mansion to celebrate the New Year together.

So, after entering the twelfth lunar month, the two got on the dragon boat again and drove towards Yangzhou Prefecture at a fast speed. The boat didn't dock in the middle, and even Jinling jumped over it.

"Uncle Lin, why are you here?" Lin Tian asked in surprise as he looked at the white-haired and bearded former butler of the Lin family who was standing aside, stomping his feet to keep warm.

"My lord, Missy, this old slave has waited for you!"

As soon as Situ Meng and Lin Tian got on the pier, the butler of the Lin Mansion had already followed behind the Yangzhou prefect, and greeted him energetically, but he didn't expect that his lady not only recognized him at a glance, but also called out directly, so Excitedly, he opened his mouth before the magistrate.

You know, because Prince Situ Meng is coming, the entire Yangzhou Wharf has long been surrounded by officers and soldiers on three floors and three floors outside. The person who took the lead in welcoming Situ Meng this time was the magistrate of Yangzhou.

"I'll see you, my lord!" The magistrate of Yangzhou quickly came to Situ Meng with a flattering smile on his face, and saluted respectfully.

"Excuse me, my lord! I still have some private matters to deal with. If you have nothing to do, you can go back and rest first!" Situ Meng said impatiently.

"This..." The magistrate of Yangzhou hesitated for a moment, but still bit the bullet and continued: "I would like to report to the lord, the emperor has already ordered the officials to sort out the palace in the Slender West Lake and give it to the lord as a place to stay. Are you going to go to the palace to rest for a day or two, or go directly to Lord Lin's mansion to pay a visit?"

The magistrate of Yangzhou actually didn't want to stimulate Situ Meng's nerves at this time. After all, as long as he was not blind, he could see that Situ Meng looked at Lin Tian with fiery eyes full of love.

Although the magistrate of Yangzhou didn't realize at all that the handsome and heroic young man was the lady of the Lin family's concubine-to-be, but since the housekeepers of the Lin family called her that, and the other party agreed, it should be right.

However, when he thought of the order the emperor had given him before, the prefect of Yangzhou felt a headache for a while.You know, for this request, he discussed with Lin Ruhai in private for a long time before dispelling the other party's idea of ​​coming to pick him up at the pier in person today.

Although the emperor has long understood Situ Meng's attitude towards Lin Tian, ​​it is simply obedient for no reason. Even if Lin Tian said that the sun in the sky is square, he would nod without hesitation, without further ado. .

But he still didn't want to see his younger brother, whom he brought up with his own hands, forget about his elder brother when he got a wife, completely reduced to a wife slave, and became the Lin family's door-to-door son-in-law.So he issued a death order to the magistrate of Yangzhou, requiring Situ Meng to live in the Slender West Lake Palace in Yangzhou Mansion, and absolutely not to live in Lin Ruhai's mansion.

"Xiaotian, how about living with me in the palace in the Slender West Lake? I heard that the environment is beautiful and the place is relatively spacious!" Situ Meng did not answer the words of the magistrate of Yangzhou, but turned to ask Lin Tian.

"This..." Lin Tian fell into hesitation.

Although she actually doesn't have high requirements for where to live, and she is also very sure that as long as she says she wants to go back to the Lin Mansion, Situ Meng will follow without saying a word, but that is very important to Situ Meng and herself. I'm afraid it's a kind of trouble for my brother!

However, Lin Tian hasn't seen his brother and sister-in-law for a long time, and he misses them very much.Especially the sister-in-law has been pregnant for more than eight months, and seeing that the little nephew or niece is about to be born, it is unreasonable not to be here to help when the family is in great need...

For a while, Lin Tian was also a little uncertain, but he heard Lin Bo on the side say: "Miss, the master said, it doesn't matter where you live, but please go back to Lin's mansion with the prince tonight , Master and Madam have already prepared your favorite pastries and dishes in the capital!"

"That's it! Then, Uncle Lin, wait for a while, I'll make arrangements!" Lin Tian nodded at Uncle Lin, then turned around and told Xiao Chengzi:

"You take someone to the Slender West Lake Palace to clean up and get ready. The prince and I will go back there to rest at night! By the way, remember not to have a room facing the water. In addition, let people burn the fire wall in advance. The winter here is cold and cold. It's cold, your prince doesn't like it!"

"Yes!" Xiao Chengzi nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"I don't know if the prefect has anything else to do? If there is no more, then we will leave first!" Lin Tian turned his head and said to the prefect of Yangzhou.

"It's okay, it's okay, Miss Lin and the prince, please feel free! Another day, the officials are visiting!" Yangzhou prefect didn't care about Lin Tian's casual attitude, and said politely.

When Situ Meng and Lin Tian got into the Lin family's carriage and walked away, the magistrate of Yangzhou also took people into his own carriage, and a valet who sat beside him and waited on him murmured in a low voice: "Really, A little girl, to be so arrogant in front of you, my lord, really..."

"To shut up!"

Before the servant could finish his words, the Yangzhou magistrate gave him a hard look and severely reprimanded him.

"My lord!" The servant looked at his master in horror, completely at a loss.

"You don't know anything, so you dare to talk so nonsense! Someday you lose your life and don't know what's going on! What a little girl's film! Can you say that?

Leaving aside the fact that she was born in a family, she hadn't reached the age of drafting at all. When she was less than ten years old, she was appointed by the Supreme Emperor to be the fifteenth prince from the direct line, who is now the concubine of Prince Zhongshun.

Let’s talk about the big case of salt smuggling in Xuzhou Prefecture a few months ago. Although everyone said that it was Prince Zhongshun who was both wise and brave, and how capable Ning Lixin was, the new prefect of Xuzhou, but in reality?The ruthless person who personally led the team to wipe out the lairs of private salt dealers, and suppressed the local clans and merchants by force is the little girl in your mouth!

She is a living Hades who hides deep and kills without blinking an eye! "The magistrate of Yangzhou said in the end, his voice became lower and lower, the last few words were not even clear to the servants beside him, as if he was speaking to himself.

'Although I knew for a long time that Master Lin and his wife were here, the young couple would definitely come, but I didn't expect to come here just in time for the New Year's Eve!I don't know what Master Zhen's plans are with Governor Gali. Could it be that what happened in Xuzhou was left alone?Are the two of them ready to pinch their noses and confess?

Forget it, forget it, I still don't want to get involved in the matter between them. I wrote to my family to ask them to help change the place, but I don't know how it went!In this eventful autumn, it is better to get out of this big mud pond in the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible!

The water on this salt transport is really too deep. Now it is a small mud pond breaking into a dragon crossing the river!I just don't know who will have the last laugh! 'The magistrate of Yangzhou was sitting in the carriage, but his thoughts were drifting away.

Lin Mansion, Situ Meng and Lin Tian just got off the carriage at the gate, and saw Lin Ruhai had already come out of the gate with his arms around Jia Min's waist.

"I have seen the prince!" Lin Ruhai and Jia Min respectfully saluted Situ Meng.

"Master Lin, quickly excuse me!" Situ Meng shouted hastily.

At this time, Lin Tian had already quickly arrived at Jia Min's side, and supported her who was just about to bend down to salute, and complained in his mouth: "Sister-in-law, you still have a big belly, what's wrong with this icy and snowy place?" It’s still out! Wouldn’t it be better to just sit in the room and wait!”

Even so, Lin Tian's movement of supporting Jia Min was extremely gentle, even cautious.

"Sister-in-law misses you!" Jia Min rubbed the top of Lin Tian's hair affectionately, and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, my Niuniu is so handsome in men's clothing! My sister-in-law is so itchy! "

"Sister-in-law, don't make fun of me anymore!" Lin Tian showed a helpless smile on his face, but he was very happy to see that Jia Min and himself did not become unfamiliar because of the time separation.

"Okay, okay! Sister-in-law will stop talking, but you should go wash up and change your clothes first! Sister-in-law still prefers to see you in women's clothing!

Oh, by the way, my sister-in-law asked someone to order several of the most popular dresses for you this year at the Xiaoyao Pavilion in the capital. You have to try them all. Now that it's the first month, it's not easy to use needlework! "Jia Min exhorted again.

"Mrs. Lin, don't worry! I'll keep an eye on her and try everything out!" Before Lin Tian could answer, Situ Meng patted his chest and took care of everything for her.

"Mengmeng, you are enough!" Lin Tian glared at Situ Meng and said dissatisfied.

"Hehe, okay, okay! It's getting late, Niu Niu and the prince must be hungry too! Let's have lunch together first! Chef Wang has missed Niu Niu for a long time, and today he made a lot of his specialties Good food!" Lin Ruhai saw that Lin Tian and Situ Meng got along naturally and harmoniously, and some original worries were completely swept away.
