Married Thrice to Salted Fish

Laifu hurriedly packed the emperor's luggage for leaving the palace.The queen mother wanted to follow the emperor to the general's mansion, but she was concerned about her own status, so she ordered Xu Jun to accompany the emperor.

Jiang Xing's muddy hands were washed clean by the pine nuts, and he changed into a normal suit at the mercy of others, and was then helped into the carriage by Lai Fu.When the two were not paying attention, Jiang Xing's sluggish eyes suddenly froze, which happened to be seen by Xu Junyuan.Xu Jun wished to understand, and said: "I will ride in the same carriage as the emperor."

On the way to the General's Mansion, Lai Fu and Xiao Songzi were driving outside, while Xu Junyuan and Jiang Xing sat inside.The sound of horseshoes was enough to overwhelm the deliberately lowered conversation between the two.

"Your majesty trusts me too much." Xu Junyuan said helplessly, "You didn't tell me in advance, aren't you afraid that I will tell the truth to the Queen Mother?"

Jiang Xing said: "Aren't you always on my side? Besides, even if you tell the truth to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother may not believe you."

Xu Junyuan let out a feigned sigh: "The emperor's wisdom is all spent on how to marry Lin Xiang. If the emperor can do the same in government affairs, it will be the blessing of Dayu."

"Then we have to wait until I marry him back." Jiang Xing said casually, "However, I'm still curious, why do you always help us?"

Xu Junyuan said calmly: "Because Mr. Jiang's fate is the master of the world, the lord of the ninety-five years. Since I am lucky enough to see the secret, I will naturally help Mr. Jiang. Maybe when the emperor Longyan is happy, he can order the Changsheng Temple to be repaired— — To be honest, the meditation room where I practiced in seclusion is still a bit small."

Jiang Xing scoffed, "That's it?"

"That's it." Xu Junyuan said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you don't have to think highly of me. After all, I am just a practitioner."

Jiang Xing laughed, too lazy to talk to Xu Jun.Only fools like this will believe such nonsense.For five years, Xu Junyuan has not changed at all, he is a riddle after all.

In any case, his purpose was achieved.A few days ago, the queen mother tried every means to prevent him from being clingy to his wife, and today she took the initiative to send him to her wife's house. It was not in vain that he played with mud and almost built a Xingqing Palace.

After the news of Lin Qingyu's illness spread, many officials handed over name cards, thinking of visiting the sick at the mansion, but they were turned away, and the gifts sent to the mansion were returned one by one.

When the emperor's car stopped at the gate of the general's mansion, he was preparing a winter nest for two little Gu worms.

I don't know if he was influenced by Jiang Xing, but he fell in love with this kind of leisurely life.There is no need to go to court, no need to worry about state affairs, and no need to meet all kinds of officials in the officialdom.When you have nothing to do, reading medical books, dispensing medicinal materials, occasionally discussing Gu with the Southern Xinjiang genius doctor, or going to the Imperial Medical Office to teach students is much more interesting than being the first assistant prime minister.

After resting for a few days, he also had a new view on the word "salted fish". "Salted fish" is not doing nothing, but not being forced by external forces, and can control all the time for itself.Jiang Xing's hobbies are playing and sleeping, as long as he is not allowed to play and sleep, he will get tired; and his hobby is medicine, if he is asked to abandon his medical skills and worry about other things, he will also get tired.

In this way, he also wants to be a salted fish.It's a pity that there must always be someone between him and Jiang Xing to worry about "external forces", and the rest can be a salted fish with no other distractions.

"Qingyu." Mother Lin came in with a bowl of bird's nest, "Come on, mother just stewed it, you can try it."

Mother Lin heard that her eldest son was ill, so she went to visit the general's mansion.After Lu Wancheng died of illness, Lin Qingyu had a serious illness.Seeing that the day of General Gu's death is approaching, she is really worried.

Fortunately, Lin Qingyu just felt the wind and cold occasionally, and he was far from being bedridden.Mother Lin didn't know why Lin Qingyu lied about being seriously ill, but he must have some deep meaning in doing so.She and her husband have never interfered with the eldest son's decision-making.

Lin Qingyu smiled lightly: "Thank you, mother."

Lin's mother is now the prime minister's mother and has an imperial order, but her life is as usual, always thinking about what to do for her son.Some things should be told to the family in advance.

Lin Qingyu took two sips and said, "Mother."

As soon as Mother Lin heard Lin Qingyu's expression, she knew that he had something to say, and said softly, "What's wrong."

Lin Qingyu considered his words: "I... want to have another kiss for the last time."

Mother Lin froze for a moment, remembering the reason for Lin Qingyu's second marriage, and said nervously, "Is anyone going to force you again?" Lin Qingyu smiled and shook his head: "No. This time, I am completely voluntary."

Not because of the imperial decree, nor because of hiding from those who covet him.He sincerely wanted to marry Jiang Xing again.

Mother Lin was surprised and puzzled.She is very clear about the temperament of the eldest son. He is cold to outsiders, and gentleness will only be reserved for those who care.Lu Wancheng and Gu Fuzhou were obviously both in his heart, so how did the new one squeeze out the two predecessors and make him say the word "totally voluntary".

But when she saw Lin Qingyu's inadvertent tenderness, her heart softened.She still didn't ask any more questions, but said: "Since it's your wish, I think Master Lu and General Gu won't mind." She could see the respect these two people had for Lin Qingyu.

Lin Qingyu smiled: "Indeed."

The mother and son were talking, when they heard a happy voice from outside: "Ma'am, the emperor is here!"

Mother Lin was surprised: "Why did the emperor come to the general's mansion?"

Lin Qingyu chuckled: "Who knows. Go and have a look."

Lin Qingyu took the whole family to pick him up at the door.Seeing Jiang Xing, he coughed softly, knelt down and saluted, his voice was weak: "My humble minister sees the emperor."

In an instant, Jiang Xing's gloomy eyes reappeared with brilliance, and Lin Qingyu felt amused when he saw it - such an acting skill, he sighed to himself.

"Brother Prime Minister," Jiang Xing hugged Lin Qingyu's waist in front of everyone, and said with a smile, "I caught you."

Lin Qingyu tried his best to look surprised: "Your Majesty?"

Everyone looked at each other, only Xu Junyuan sighed: "This is God's will."

Seeing this, Laifu quickly sent someone back to the palace to report to the Queen Mother.After listening to the Queen Mother, there were mixed feelings in her heart.The national teacher is right, Lin Qingyu is the emperor's only antidote.After a good time, she sighed a long time: "As long as the emperor is well, the Ai family can't control the rest."

She really admitted it this time.As long as the loss of soul disease doesn't recur, the emperor can cling to whomever he wants.

Afterwards, the Empress Dowager sent a message to the General's Mansion to let Lin Qingyu move into the palace to recuperate, but Lin Qingyu declined on the grounds that "foreign ministers are not allowed to stay in the palace overnight".The Queen Mother was baffled, Lin Qingyu had not stayed in the palace for a day or two, what was the purpose of moving out of this palace rule at this time.Lin Qingyu didn't want to enter the palace, and the emperor couldn't do without him, so it would only make the emperor go to the general's mansion more, which would break the rules.

A few days later, the news that the emperor frequently visited the general's mansion spread like wildfire.Many people who complained about Lin Qingyu suddenly realized that this was not the prime minister's arrogance, but the emperor pestering his ministers and their wives.

At this time, Jiang Xing was in General Gu's mansion, with his head resting on the lap of "Chen Wife", and after listening to Xiao Songzi finish talking about the gossip in Beijing, he said, "It's about time, it's time to move on to the next step."

Lin Qingyu said: "Xiao Songzi, go and invite Mr. Shen to come."

Xiao Songzi responded, and heard the emperor ask him again: "How did you find Mr. Shen before?"

Xiao Songzi said: "If you go back to the emperor, Mr. Shen has set up a courtyard in the capital, and slaves usually send people there to look for him."

Jiang Xing had a whim: "Qingyu, you've been living in the mansion for so long, are you bored? Do you want to go out for a walk? Think of it as visiting a friend."

Friends... Shen Huaizhi is indeed a friend of the two of them.

Lin Qingyu nodded, and ordered Yuan Yin to prepare the gift of visiting friends.

The two changed their clothes and went out in a carriage.Shen Huaizhi's other courtyard is located in a remote place, even riding a horse would take half an hour.When he arrived at the place, Jiang Xing got out of the carriage first, turned around and stretched out his hand.Lin Qingyu got out of the car holding his hand, and looked at the house in front of him.

This is a simple and unsophisticated house, like a place where wealthy people would live.Staying away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd is also in line with Shen Huaizhi's taciturn temperament.

Xiao Songzi was about to knock on the door when he heard a desperate and crazy voice from inside:

"I even lost my country because of you. I was trapped in this ghost place for two years just to see you, but you refused to give me a straight look! That's all, you still want to leave? Do you want to leave again? Where are you going——Shen Huaishi, what do you think I am? A dog looking after your house!"

Lin Qingyu and Jiang Xing glanced at each other, their faces were a bit indescribable.

"Stop talking," Shen Huaizhi said calmly, "Someone is here."

After the words fell, the house became quiet.Not long after, the door was opened, Shen Huaizhi saw a few people, and he was not surprised at all: "Your subordinates will see the emperor, my lord prime minister."

Lin Qingyu asked: "Why do you know it's us?"

Shen Huaizhi said: "The sound of the gears of the emperor's carriage is different from that of the carriage next to it - Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lin, please come inside."

The two walked into the yard, and saw no one else except Shen Huaizhi.Shen Huaizhi invited them into the hall, brewed a pot of tea, and said: "There is only rough tea here, Prime Minister Lin may not be used to it."

Lin Qingyu took the teacup and passed it with the lid: "Just now, I heard someone say you are leaving. Where are you going?"

Jiang Xing said casually, "Where else can he go? He wants to go back to the northwest."

Shen Huaizhi pursed his lips: "After General Gu left, General Wu was ordered to guard the northwest. I should be able to help him when I go back."

Lin Qingyu was thoughtful: "I wanted you to rebuild the Heavenly Prison Gate, but if you insist on leaving..."

Shen Huaizhi was stunned: "...rebuild the Heavenly Prison Gate?"

"Although Xie Min and Tianjiying are only loyal to the emperor, I still can't trust them because of the change of Xirong Palace. I hope that after the reconstruction of the Heavenly Prison Gate, they can compete with it, and even replace it."

Jiang Xing joked, "It is your duty to recast the glory of Heavenly Prison."

Lin Qingyu said it suddenly, Shen Huaizhi was not ready.He thought for a while, then hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lin, can you allow me to think about it for a few days?"

"Of course. Whether you want to leave or stay is up to you." Lin Qingyu pointed out, "You don't have to think about anyone."

Jiang Xing said: "By the way, we are here this time, and we have one more thing to ask you."

On the day of Gu Fuzhou's death, the palace invited eminent monks from the Changsheng Temple to chant scriptures and pray for Gu Fuzhou to comfort the dead.Wu Zhan, Wu Guogong, Shen Huaishi, Li Chan and others were allowed by the Queen Mother to come to Taimiao to observe the ceremony and burn incense for Gu Fuzhou.

Lin Qingyu is Gu Fuzhou's wife and his only family member, but he was unable to attend such an important day due to illness.Afterwards, Li Chan suggested that several of them go to the general's mansion to visit the prime minister.If he went alone, Prime Minister Lin probably wouldn't see him, but with so many confidants together, Prime Minister Lin might give him some face.

Shen Huaizhi looked up at the snowflakes flying all over the sky, and said in a deep voice: "A year ago today, the general was also in such a snowy day..."

Several people were all in a heavy heart, looking at each other speechlessly.

Shen Huaizhi said again: "Yesterday, I dreamed about the general again. The general asked Prime Minister Lin how he was doing this year. He didn't want to see Prime Minister Lin miss him and die alone."

Wu Zhan was agitated, pointing at himself indiscriminately, and said, "I, I dreamed about it too! The general wants us to go to the capital of the Xixia Kingdom, where we can fry the meat with the tongue of the king of Xixia and drink it with wine!"

After Shen Huaizhi finished speaking the words he prepared in advance, he didn't know what to say.After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Uh...my dream is very real, like a dream."

"My dream is more real." Wu Zhan, a big man, had red eyes again, "The general must have come back to see me..."

Duke Wu seemed to feel that Shen Huaizhi's dream was more like a dream, and said: "It's been a year, Prime Minister Lin's filial piety period has passed, and it's time for me to fulfill Fuzhou's last wish."
