[Red Mansions] Lin's first genius doctor

Lin Jiangyuan thought that there would be fewer people in Wei Ren's residence.

After all, although there are not many relatives and friends in the Lin family, there are no better people for the woman to marry than Wei Ren, and the Lin family has more relatives in Beijing. Several girls came to Shan Rongguo Mansion, and the excitement of Sister Feng can be said to be a festival. It is stronger than six quarters.

Even without the addition of the wives and ladies that Lin Jiang had met over the years, the wedding scene was as lively as it used to be.

Lin Jiang was thinking about what to do with Wei Ren at that time. Wei Ren has no relatives, and his own status is special, so he doesn't have many friends.

The only two young people of the same age who had a better relationship had already appeared in his wedding party, taking the Lin Fu's poetry and archery exams for him in front of the door.

So Lin Jiang is well prepared, there will be fewer lively guests on Wei Ren's side, and they are probably colleagues who come to eat wine and give gifts quietly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the sedan chair entered the door, an extremely noisy and complicated voice sounded in her ears—it was really complicated, and she felt that there were many words she could not understand in the noise in the courtyard. Listening carefully, she found that even Da Zhou The speakers also have various strange accents.

It's like... Lin Jiang felt as if he had arrived at the Capital Airport in the past, and it was still the waiting place for overseas flights.

Before getting out of the sedan chair, she quickly lifted the hijab, opened a little curtain and looked outside.

Sure enough, there were kings and envoys from several countries standing inside the main gate of the Wei Mansion, and even the lively monarch who came outside to watch closely.

It seems that they are all very interested in the official marriage of this big week.

Lin Jiang never thought that her wedding would be surrounded by envoys from all over the world to congratulate her. She later realized that maybe the fat cat was a gift, and this was the real gift from System Dad.

As soon as Baoshi turned around, he saw his girl lifted her hijab and looked out from the curtain, her face turned pale with fright, she immediately blocked the gap in the curtain that Lin Jiang opened, and threatened in a low voice: "Girl!"

Only then did Lin Jiang angrily cover himself back.

Besides, since the emperor has witnessed the marriage letter between the two, he feels that this marriage has a great connection with him.And these years Wei Ren didn't have much contact with the prince's courtiers, it was just in line with the emperor's mind, and he was even regarded as a small teacher.

That being the case, he didn't want to see his loyal courtiers, and on the contrary, there were very few weddings.

So he deliberately mentioned to several clan elders and several close ministers: "I watched him grow up, who would have thought that he would be married in a blink of an eye. When the day comes, you guys The elders can also have a glass of wine to add joy."

The ministers who used to dare not have any personal relationship with the emperor's confidants suddenly became 'elders' at this moment, and they understood the emperor's intentions, and they all expressed that they would bring their children and grandchildren to the scene to congratulate them that day.

Seriously implement the emperor's explicit hints and go to the crowd.

It's just that in the emperor's heart, it's not perfect: he can send guests, but he can't send the family tree of the ancestors.

According to the etiquette and customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, on the day of the wedding, when the bride arrives at the man’s home in a sedan chair, she must first go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, and then to meet her uncles and other close relatives, and then to kneel and offer dates and chestnuts again. —When we come to Wei Ren, all these kneeling and worshiping will naturally be skipped.

Even, the second prostration among the three prostrations, because the man's parents do not exist, this prostration has to be ignored.

The officiant, Prince Shao, had murmured to the emperor at the time: This is the most trouble-free wedding he has ever seen.

Lin Jiang also thought that he could avoid kneeling three or four times today.

Unexpectedly, the thrush father-in-law would come at the right time.

It's not that the emperor doesn't feel sorry for Wei Ren.He even thought about coming to Wei's house in person and appearing as the high hall of the 'Second Worship High Hall'.

But the rationality of being an emperor still suppresses his emotions.

The emperor's heart is like a mirror: he can only regard Wei Ren as a child in his heart, but after all, he should not appear in the high hall position justifiably, and he can't even be there in person.

For one thing, there were no such rules and principles in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. Even when his sons got married, only those who brought their brides came to worship him as the emperor, and no emperor came personally.

Secondly, once the emperor leaves the palace, the whole scene will no longer be a wedding of two newlyweds, but a frantic pick-up, which is also contrary to his original intention.

This is the case with the heights.

Since he is the emperor, he can only sit in the lofty and solemn Mingzheng Palace forever, waiting for people to come to see him.

But the emperor is still the emperor, he likes to step on the bottom line of the rules to do things, and he wants to find a way to achieve his goals.

He can't leave the palace, but his imperial decree can leave the palace.

Just before Prince Shao was about to preside over the bride and groom's worship, the emperor's imperial decree arrived, and the timing of the card was just right.

Eunuch Huamei accepted this errand, and did not let the eunuch who was in charge of delivering the decree go, but reported back to the emperor that he went out of the palace gate and came to Weifu.

When he entered the hall and saw Lin Jiang in her wedding gown, Father-in-law Thrush was a little startled, and even felt a little damp in front of his eyes.

He cleared his throat first, and then announced the emperor's imperial decree in front of everyone: Jin Yuan Yuqian Long Jinwei commanded Wei Ren as the military governor of the Beijing camp.

The first reaction of the guests present was: the emperor's kindness is mighty, the commander of Wei, no, it should be called Wei Jiedushi now, the simplicity is really in the emperor's heart.In time for the day of great joy, the emperor issued this decree to add to the icing on the cake, to add glory to the day of great joy with the holy order.

But Lin Jiang's first reaction was that he guessed the emperor's mind: this imperial decree was only issued at this time today, and it was actually kneeling at the high hall as the second worship.

After all, the emperor used another method to complete the three worship ceremony in the wedding hall of the two of them.

They didn't even kneel down, once the imperial decree arrived, they had to go to the palace together to kowtow for the grace the next morning.It can be regarded as a complete process for the couple to serve tea to the man's elders the next day.

Wei Ren stayed with the emperor for a longer period of time, and also understood the emperor's good intentions better, so that he was a little stunned.

It was Eunuch Thrush who took a step forward after announcing the decree, and reminded the newcomer, "Please envoy Wei Jiedu to accept the decree."

Only then did Wei Ren suppress the emotion in his heart, accepted the imperial decree from Minghuang, then supported Lin Jiang to stand up, and then cupped his hands to Eunuch Huamei: "Please stay for a glass of wedding wine, Eunuch Bai."

Father-in-law Huamei was very regretful: "Our family has to rush back." Originally, it was not his job to deliver the decree. It is already a blessing from God that he can come out after returning to the emperor. It is impossible to stay to watch the ceremony and eat wine. They don't look good either.

Wei Ren is not familiar with Mr. Thrush (especially in the past two years, Mr. Thrush still has a little opinion of him), but it is Lin Jiang who can understand his situation, so he directly said to the gem next to him: "In that case, bring the wine over here. Treat your father-in-law to a drink first."

For a while, a maid held the tray.

Wei Ren poured out three glasses of wine, handed a glass to Eunuch Thrush, and carefully placed another glass in Lin Jiang's hand.

Eunuch Thrush drank it down in one gulp, and lit the bottom of the cup: "Our family wishes the two adults a happy marriage for a hundred years."

Lin Jiang smiled under Xipa with crooked eyebrows: Father-in-law Thrush is always her confidant, everyone congratulates today and wishes Lord Wei and Mrs. Wei a happy marriage for a hundred years, only father-in-law Thrush still insists on his own opinion.

---

Lin Jiang covered his face with a handkerchief.

The gem lights up the surrounding candles.

This day is really long, and when the big gift is completed and the male and female guests are sent away, it is indeed the time of the last night.

It's still dark early in winter, and it's dark outside at this time.

Baoshi asked, "Would you like some more late-night snacks, Miss?" At today's banquet, the uncle was outside with the official guests, and the girl entertained the guests in person.

Lin Jiang shook her head: "It's okay, I ate a lot while I was free. It's just..." She rubbed her forehead: "I also drank a lot of wine."

Usually when she and Daiyu are at home, she would occasionally drink two glasses of wine, but today she really drank too much—mainly the queen and princess of Qianxiang Kingdom, who are really good at drinking, not only can drink, but also like to persuade people to drink, It was like a glass of running water, and their faces were not red.

After drinking, Lin Jiang felt that the two of them were not from overseas, but from the northeast.

"Girl, then I'll make you a bowl of hangover soup." Gemstone's professional quality is really excellent. He only arrived in Weifu for half a day. I'm familiar with it.

Guarantee that the girl can have whatever she wants tonight.

Seeing Lin Jiang's blushing like Jinxia and sleepy eyes, she knew that the girl was a little drunk.

Lin Jiang shook his head: "Forget it, I'll sleep in a while, so don't bother." The decoction for hangovers doesn't taste very good, and Lin Jiang doesn't want to drink it at all.

Gemstone: Sleeping in a while?asleep?Is the girl really drunk and confused? Well, I can't sleep right now.Although she has never been married before, she knows the process of a big wedding. Tonight is a wedding night in the bridal chamber!

At this moment, the girl is washing her face and taking off her makeup, but my uncle is still waiting inside.

Speaking of the layout for a while, it was Lin Jiang's special request.

When the Wei Mansion was designing a new house that day, Wei Ren had asked Lin Jiang for his opinion, and according to her plan, he specially made a small room with a door.

It is equivalent to a cloakroom and powder room with a lot of privacy.

At this moment, Lin Jiang and Baoshi were inside, and Lin Jiang slowly wiped his face in the mirror.

Baoshi watched the girl's eyes fluttering, and her hand failed to wipe the right place several times, she was really worried.

She had no choice but to tentatively ask again: "Does my uncle need hangover soup?" Say yes quickly, so that she can cook more and fool the girl into drinking a bowl.

Lin Jiang didn't hear Gemstone's heartfelt voice, but just waved his hand: "People like them won't get drunk."

She has studied the so-called inner breath in Wei Ren.It was found that when he was not moving, his heartbeat and breathing were very slow, and he was able to retain the maximum physical strength. Once there was a need, the blood and pulse of the whole person could flow extremely fast, and he could burst out with strength that ordinary people did not have.

So unless he was drinking an astonishingly large amount of alcohol and the alcohol content was high, he would never get drunk.

But today he drank far less than the drunk amount, which is the basic amount of drinking water throughout the day.

Gemstone: Oh, the girl can't comprehend what I mean when she's drunk.

Just as I was about to put it another way, I heard a knock on the door.Sure enough, Wei Ren saw the two of them closed the door in the room for a long time, so he was concerned and asked Lin Jiang if he was okay, if he drank too much, and if he was not feeling well.

Seeing Lin Jiang shaking his head, Baoshi had no choice but to open a crack in the door, and replied unconscionably: "Don't worry, my lord, the girl is just a little drunk, and this servant will change the big clothes outside for the girl. This wedding dress is more complicated and difficult to explain." .”

When Baoshi talked about changing clothes, he saw Wei Ren's face turned red as if he had drunk too much, he bowed his head and left without asking any more questions.

And for a while, Lin Jiang also changed out of the heavy and complicated wedding gown with relief, and put on a homely embroidered gown.

Lin Jiang especially likes the button pattern of this embroidered robe.

It's not a common Ruyi button, but a rare sea lantern-shaped button made of silver and gold thread. Each button is a small lamp.

And the core of each button is embedded with a small spar, which twinkles in the dark, just like a real sea lantern.

Seeing the girl playing with the buttons for half a day, Baoshi had to remind: "Girl, the clothes are finished."

When Lin Jiang stood up, she was still shaking a little, and she was also a little floating when walking.She calmed down, and walked in by herself. Seeing that Gemstone was about to support her, Lin Jiang pushed her hand away, and reached out to touch Gemstone's cheek, and said seriously: "Go out, it's not you who is next." Kind of like a girl's home."

Baoshi blushed, and at the same time complained in his heart: ... It's over, it's over, the girl is drunk!Why are these words popping up.

But as a dowry maid, her status is a bit special - in the eyes of many aristocratic families, this kind of dowry maid is basically equivalent to a companion room given to the uncle.

But gems definitely don't mean to be a concubine, so Zi Lin Jiang said that she shouldn't look at the next one, and it's really hard for her to follow in and serve.

I had no choice but to look at my own girl, and walked into the inner room with a little trembling.Bao Baoxin rolled his eyes and closed: It's okay, my uncle will take care of the girl anyway, I, I'll evacuate first.

She went out without saying anything, and even closed the door of the whole new house.

When Lin Jiang walked in, he thought he was drunk and dazzled.

Wei Ren was sitting at the table, concentrating on a book.In this situation, it seems to be in the study, not the boudoir.

Lin Jiang walked over with [-]% curiosity, and stood beside him: "What are you looking at at this time?"

Wei Ren raised his head, with rare embarrassment, but still firmly shared the content of the book with her: "This is a book about the rules of big marriages in the palace."

In ancient times, there were no electronic equipment, and there were no vivid scientific educational films about physical hygiene to watch.

All married men and women, either have close relatives and elders who pass on newlywed knowledge orally, or they can only learn by themselves through various scripts and books.

Wei Ren is of course the latter.Although he has been studying by himself for a while, he is still very nervous tonight, so he quickly took it out and reviewed it again.

In the past, Lin Jiang would have understood as soon as she heard it, but today she was a little confused and didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and continued to ask a little confused: "Rules, aren't you done today? It depends on the rules." What? Are you still thinking of using it for a second marriage?"

Wei Ren: ...

He was stunned by Lin Jiang's thinking for a while, and then continued to speak with difficulty: "Come on, let's read it together. This book says that newly married people are easy...to hurt people."

One sentence made him say fragmented.

Lin Jiang listened with great difficulty, so he simply took the book from Wei Ren's hand and read it by himself.

After reading two lines of words and two pictures, Lin Jiang finally realized what Wei Ren was looking at and what he was talking about.

Just drunk, Lin Jiang just smiled: This is almost piercing ears before getting on the sedan chair.

Then she threw the book on the ground, stretched out two fingers to lift Wei Ren's chin, and said with a smile on her face in a gesture of teasing women from good families: "What can you learn from reading this kind of book, I am a professional of."

--

The next morning, Lin Jiang woke up according to the biological clock, only to feel heavy eyelids.

What happened last night came to mind, she lay quietly for a moment, thought for a long time, and made a solemn vow in her heart: From now on, don't drink and drive, and don't drink while driving.

Wei Ren had already gotten up, and brought her a glass of warm water at this time.

Lin Jiang didn't even want to raise his arms to pick it up, so he said lazily, "Can I not enter the palace with you today to thank you?"

Seeing that she was tired and weak, Wei Ren immediately said: "Okay, I will enter the palace myself to thank you."

The emperor will not be angry, Wei Ren can feel that the emperor is very lenient towards Lin Jiang, similar to the kind of appreciation and connivance that the elders have when facing a junior who throws their temper at him.

Lin Jiang: ...Forget it, I'll get up.

It is precisely because the emperor is usually tolerant of her that Lin Jiang should enter the palace to thank her on this day.Not to mention anything else, just because of the thought the emperor put into paying them three prostrations yesterday, Lin Jiang felt that he should enter the palace for this trip.

What's more, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is incomparable to others, one must be given, and the other must be respected.

How many courtiers are falling on the words "be proud of being favored".Lin Jiang didn't want to leave a little shadow.

When Baoshi came in to ask Lin Jiang to change her clothes, she saw that the girl was applying peach blossom cream.

I saw that after washing off the peach blossom cream with clean water, Lin Jiang's face was completely tired, and there was still a piece of clean water lotus face, and his spirit was brightened.

Baoshi first lamented the girl's medical skills in her heart, and then held her clothes and smiled: "Young lady enters the palace today, but she can't wear her own official uniform, she has to wear the uniform of Mrs. Gaoming."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly said: "It's because I lost my memory, I should change my words, and I should call Madam from now on."

Lin Jiang shook his head: "Don't change it, Master and Madam, they call people old."

Wei Ren has no elders above him, he himself is the head of the family, and according to his seniority, he must not be called a young master, it is proper to call him a master.

But when Lin Jiang heard about Mrs. Jia, she felt that Mrs. Jia Zhengwang was that age, and felt that she was 30 years older.

Bao Bao nodded, and asked unavoidably: "I can call you young lady and uncle, but the rest of the people in this house..."

Especially the servants of the Wei family, certainly cannot call Lin Jiang a girl.

Lin Jiang turned her head and smiled at her: "Why did you forget, I have my own official position."

So later when Daiyu and others came to play, they found that no one in the mansion called Mrs. or Grandma. When they met Lin Jiang, they all called them Yuanzheng, and they called Wei Ren as adults. It was like answering the court. of.

It can be regarded as a unique title in Beijing.

Of course these are later stories.

It's just that Lin Jiang changed into the official uniform of the third grade today, and went to the palace with Wei Ren to thank him.When Baoshi put on her the six pairs of crown flower hairpins that come standard with the third grade, he smiled and said, "It's just that the girl won't be able to wear this dress for two days, and soon she will send the clothes for the second grade wife."

Lin Jiang's body was already sore, and her head felt heavy when wearing the standard uniform: "Don't worry about the second-rank and third-rank, the official uniforms of the Taiyuan Hospital are comfortable to wear." In her opinion, her fifth-rank official position is comparable to the second-rank official order. important.

Baoshi smiled and said, "It's okay, in three days, the girl will be back in her official uniform."

These words reminded Lin Jiang of the painful fact that he only had three days off, and today he had to enter the palace for another day.

--

The two of them entered the palace to meet the emperor on this day, and what they did to the emperor was the etiquette of serving tea to the elders.

The emperor, on the other hand, took the tea and prepared the red seal according to the custom of the elders in the folks when meeting their daughter-in-law.At this point, all the etiquette of the big wedding is over.

Besides, it is common for the emperor to see Lin Jiang, but it is the first time to see Lin Jiang wearing imperial uniforms, and the emperor also thinks it is very fresh.

He said to the two: "Speaking of which, apart from my daughters-in-law, this is the first time I have been ordered to come here to thank me."

Generally, the imperial edict is the responsibility of the queen.

These words reminded Lin Jiang: "The minister will go to the harem to thank the queen mother and empress."

After all, her phoenix crown and Xiapei were bestowed by the Empress Dowager in the palace, and the Empress Dowager not only gave her an experienced emcee, but also gave her a set of extraordinarily gorgeous haircuts.

From Lin Jiang's point of view, its splendor and preciousness is at the level that it can participate in the centennial celebration of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Since he received the heavy gifts from the two harem bosses, it doesn't matter if Lin Jiang doesn't enter the palace today. Since he has entered the palace, it makes sense to go to thank him.

The emperor nodded in agreement, and said: "Since you are going to the harem, you can also take a look at the noble concubine for me." The emperor covered his forehead as he spoke, as if he couldn't bear the disturbance.

Lin Jiang thought that the imperial concubine also gave a generous gift, and thought it was just right: No matter how noble the imperial concubine is, she is still just a concubine.Today, she entered the palace as a royal order, and she should only pay respects to the Empress Dowager, so I have to thank the concubine for the gift in the future.

With the emperor's order, she happened to go to the imperial concubine's palace, and there was one thing missing.

Seeing that she didn't understand what he meant, the emperor added a sentence: "Take a good look at what's wrong with the noble concubine, lest people in the palace come to invite me over and over again, only saying that she is not healthy. Really, since the noble lady is pregnant , the imperial concubine's body has never been comfortable."

Lin Jiang couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, don't you understand what happened to the imperial concubine?"

How obvious is the cause and effect in this statement.

After Lin Jiang resigned, the emperor watched Wei Ren all the way to see her out, and couldn't help jokingly said: "She is going to my harem, not to Longtan and Tiger's lair, so you have to keep watching?"

Wei Ren turned his head and corrected his posture, thanked the emperor Xinzhong again, and personally bestowed the post of Jingying Jiedu envoy, expressing that he would never disappoint the emperor's trust.

This is a business matter, the emperor just swept away the homely appearance of having a headache for his concubine just now, he is serious and dignified, not angry and spontaneous.

When it comes to such important matters, the emperor's voice will be unconsciously lowered, and this matter has already made him a little unhappy, so the words are unavoidably slower, showing a bit of gloom.

"The four major battalions in Beijing and Central China were all in the hands of Jia Daishan for the first 20 years, and then in the hands of Wang Ziteng for the next ten years. They are intricately intertwined, and many of the young soldiers are inseparable from their family."

So when the emperor just took office, he snapped the title of the Duke of Zhenguo, and calmed down the anger of being squeezed out by the Supreme Emperor, but he has not moved the four major families.

Even if it is a one in ten thousand possibility, he has to put an end to it—the Beijing Central Camp must not be chaotic, even if some illegal affairs of the four major families fall into his hands, he can't let his temper go, and he must Wait for Beijing Yingan to settle down completely.

"Earlier, Uncle Ming Yang managed the Beijing Camp for more than a year. Since he was the acting commander and he has a gentle temperament, he didn't straighten out the Beijing Camp. He just managed to keep the Beijing Camp under control so that there were no disturbances."

It shows that Uncle Yang has a gentle temperament, but because he is his brother-in-law, the emperor gave him a neutral evaluation.

In fact, Uncle Ming Yang is very indecisive, he is very loyal to the emperor, but he himself is definitely not a general.That's why he has a very harmonious relationship with Princess Qiyang and his wife: he is willing to have someone make decisions for him in everything, and sometimes he feels that he can't get rid of his affection for family affairs, so it would be even better if the princess is willing to take care of it!

So after taking over the Jingying Jiedu envoy, Uncle Mingyang was worried, if the emperor hadn't said that he would only be in charge, he wouldn't have dared to take on this errand.

And what the emperor wants is definitely not that there will be no accidents on the surface of the Beijing and Zhong camps, just let it go, but the four camps that are completely at his disposal, like his arms.

But he is the son of heaven, living above the temple, it is impossible to go deep into the barracks.

And those dark things in the military camp, such as eating empty pay, taking military merits, and allowing cronyism to pass off as good, can only be exposed after truly breaking through the military system and mastering the Beijing camp.

What the emperor wants is for Wei Ren to clean up the Beijing camp.

This is by no means an easy task.

"Speaking of relatives, you are now going around with the Rongguo Mansion, and you are somewhat related. Although there are no men in their family who can be employed as officials, it may be of some use."

Interpersonal relationships are like a net. In this dynasty, there was no internet telephony, allowing people to meet like-minded friends on a larger platform.

It is often the similarities of the same township, the same family, and the same family that connect people from dots to lines, and then gather together and divide people into groups to form a network of contacts.

There is no real shortage of men in the Rongguo Mansion, but the connections that Jia Daishan established for the Jia family back then not only passed on to Wang Ziteng, but are still in effect today.

Therefore, the right to speak of the four major families is still there.

The emperor felt that it was possible to use the few men in the Rongguo Mansion who were not really lacking and had no ability to take over the glory of their fathers.

The monarch and his ministers talked about business for a long time before Lin Jiang came back.

The emperor glanced at the western clock on the table, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why have you been gone for so long? The queen mother left you to talk?"

Lin Jiang looked at the emperor, and said meaningfully: "Return to Your Majesty, it is the imperial concubine who has stayed with me for a long time, and she has said a lot about her inner and physical discomfort."

The emperor understood it, and covered his forehead with a headache again: "Forget it, she will talk to you more, so she will invite me less."

Lin Jiang: ...Your majesty, you really only want to save yourself trouble, so you transferred the conflict and pressure to our doctor in an open and honest manner.

Afterwards, the emperor didn't ask Lin Jiang anything else, and just said: "Okay, you go out of the palace, the newlyweds should live their own lives."

When the two of them left the Ming Zheng Palace, it was naturally the father-in-law Thrush who came out to see them off.

Lin Jiang handed Eunuch Thrush a custom-made silver box: "Take the wedding candy, Eunuch." The silver box is engraved with the Chinese character "Double Happiness", which is a perfect pattern of a happy flower and a full moon.

This box was custom-made from the Yinlou outside, but the candies inside were all made by Lin Jiang before, and Madam Xia brought the maids of the Lin family to make it together, ensuring that each one has a new flavor that is not available outside.

Father-in-law Huamei took it over and said to Lin Jiang, "Thank you, Yuanzheng Lin." It seemed that the candy was the same as the original, and Lin Jiang gave it to her.

Wei Ren: It doesn't matter, I can be a bystander.

When the two left Mingzheng Palace and walked on the palace road to leave the palace, Wei Ren asked: "Since you are here, why don't you go to the Imperial Hospital?"

Lin Jiang turned her head and smiled at him: "I went there just now and sent back the imperial concubine's prescription." At the same time, he also accepted congratulations from everyone in the imperial hospital and scattered a lot of wedding candies.

Wei Ren nodded: "Well, let's go back early, so you can rest."

Just as he was talking, he heard a familiar voice coming from the corner of the palace wall: "Wei Ren!"

The two turned their heads and saw that it was Zhou Liheng and the fifth prince who turned out from the palace road together.

It was like going back in time - Lin Jiang still remembered the first time he saw Zhou Liheng, it was on this palace road, he was calling Wei Ren's name.And next to him was the Fifth Prince.

However, the current fifth prince is no longer a taciturn and unknown prince, he is already Prince Heng who is highly valued by the emperor in the eyes of the courtiers.

Prince Heng and Zhou Liheng stepped forward together to congratulate them on their wedding.

And Wei Ren and Lin Jiang also thanked Prince Heng again for writing the marriage letter for them.

With a gentle smile on Prince Heng's face, he turned his head to Zhou Liheng and said, "Next time, I will drink the wedding wine of the prince. I have already asked my father for his will, and I wrote the marriage certificate."

With his maturity and prudence as a prince, in fact he seldom asks the emperor for any kindness. He always tries his best to be a well-behaved prince, carefully doing even a little bit of homework and errands assigned by his father.

But regarding Zhou Liheng's marriage, the fifth prince really wanted to write a marriage letter as a way of expressing his wholehearted congratulations to his only friend in his youth, so he specifically begged the emperor for this.

The emperor also agreed.

Lin Jiang also smiled at Zhou Liheng when he heard the words: "At that time, the son of the world will call me aunt."

Zhou Liheng also had an expectant smile on his face: "I am also looking forward to that day."

Because the two were newly married, the fifth prince didn't say any more: "You two go out of the palace to have a rest." It was hard for him to come to the palace so early in the morning for such a big trip.

Now when he leaves the palace again, Lin Jiang will no longer be riding in the Lin family's carriage.

"Today's trip to the palace is really not in vain. I have walked around everything I should see and not see. It will save trouble when I turn back."

Wei Ren adjusted the cushions in the carriage for her, feeling quite distressed: the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty occupies a large area, and the queen and noble concubine live in the east and west palaces respectively, while the empress dowager lives in the east and west palaces. It is detached from the East and West Twelve Palaces, and lives in the Ci'an Palace behind.

Therefore, Lin Jiang walked a lot this morning, and thanked them in order of position, running back and forth in a zigzag pattern.

Lin Jiang was indeed tired, and even closed his eyes on the carriage to rest his mind, and just fell asleep leaning on Wei Ren.

When he opened his eyes again, the surroundings were dark, and Lin Jiang was startled, thinking that he was put into a sack.

She stretched out her hand to open the curtain, saw the blurred outline of a slightly unfamiliar room in the twilight, and realized that this was in the Wei Mansion, or in other words, her own home.

Lin Jiang sat up, only to feel that he slept so sweetly that even his bones were crisp, which was very comfortable.

Hearing the movement outside, Gem hurried in: "The girl is awake."

Lin Jiang stretched her waist: "How did I come back? Why are you in the house?" I really don't have any impression.

Baoshi smiled and said, "Of course my uncle sent the girl in."

Lin Jiang stretched out his hands and rubbed his stamina, then smiled slightly: "Gem, do you know what I like most about this mansion?"

Gem shook her head.

Lin Jiang took the water glass from her: "There are few people here, and no one will tell us what to do and what not to do."

Wei Yan is withdrawn by nature, he used to live alone in this Wei Mansion, and there were no maids, only a few doorkeepers and servants who were in charge of cleaning.

Before Lin Jiang married, he also made a request, that is, don't add too many people to the mansion.

She lived in the Lin family and also in the Rongguo Mansion. Of course, there are many servants to enjoy the convenience, but she is really controlled enough by the rules and followed by the servants enough.

The kind of life where people will talk about everything behind their backs is really not suitable for modern free people.

Lin Jiang would rather reduce part of her quality of life in exchange for the freedom to be watched and discussed.This is her own home, and she still wants to live a life where she can lie down at any time if she wants to lie down during the day.

So in the three-entry house, there were only two gates, four sweepers, two women in charge of washing, and two cooks.

There are two cooks here, one is good at Sichuan cuisine and stir fry, and the other is good at sweets and soup. There are not many people in the family anyway, and two cooks are enough.

And these few people were scattered around the periphery, and there were almost no people in the inner house.

Lin Jiang turned to look at Gemstone: "Gemstone, I have been thinking about your fate."

She is now used to going to the palace on duty every day.

And even if she is the hostess of the Wei Mansion now, she doesn't need someone to help take care of the affairs of the hundreds of people in the family like Sister Feng who manages the Rongguo Mansion—there are no servants in this mansion, so Nothing extra to manage.

Lin Jiang was ready to pay everyone salaries and year-end bonuses on time, but he was pulled down.

Nowadays, it is no longer the kind of life of a big family, and actions cannot be separated from people. Lin Jiang thinks it is time for Baoshi to live his own life.

Seeing that the words have come to this point, Lin Jiang patted the chair and gestured for Baoshi to sit down; "I will return you and your family's deed of sale to you before you get married. In fact, you are free now and want to go out." You can go out at any time, and I will definitely prepare a house property for you."

Baoshi looked a little flustered, and said quickly: "Girl, when you sold me the deed, I said, I really don't want to go out, I just want to be with you."

Her parents used to be the servants of Prince Shao's Mansion. Since she was a child, she was picked out by the mother of Shao's Mansion because of her neat appearance and quick answers, and she was going to be a personal maid in the future.

And all her energy in childhood was spent on learning how to be a good maid, to be a maid trusted by her master.

If she got out of the deep house, she didn't know what else she could do.

After ten years of training, even in Prince Shao's mansion, she was outstanding among the new wave of maids. Later, all of them were packaged and given to Lin Jiang by King Shao as a thank you gift.

At that time, she was worried, after all, she was going out from the palace.

But as time passed, she felt more and more that the day she was chosen by Princess Shao was the luckiest day.

The longer I stay with Lin Jiang, the more determined I am in my heart: I just want to be with such a girl all the time.

In comparison, the strange life that she never thought of marrying and living on her own is even more terrifying.

Back then, when Lin Jiang returned the contract of sale to her, she was still in the Lin family. Bao Bao thought that the girl had many affairs before she got married, so she didn't dare to bother her with her own affairs.

Seeing that the girl got married on the first day of her marriage, she brought up the old matter again, still wanting to get out, so Baoshi burst into tears and said: "Unless the girl said that she thought I was in the way and wanted to kick me out, I didn't dare to trouble the girl, so I found a temple and shaved my head to be my sister-in-law."

Lin Jiang was startled by her for a moment.

And Baoshi said directly: "Girl, although I am a maid as a dowry, I can see the affection of a girl and uncle, and I will definitely not have any thoughts about being a concubine's aunt. If there is a day, I will be struck by lightning." .”

Hearing that such vows came out, Lin Jiang thought: This matter is so troublesome, why do I feel like Jia She, and the gems are like mandarin ducks.

She handed over a handkerchief: "Alright, I'm not Huang Shiren, look at you crying like Xi'er."

Gem looked up with teary eyes:?

Only then did Lin Jiang remember that there was no allusion to the white-haired girl at this time, so he changed his words: "Gemstone, I want you to go out to live a free life, just to make you happy, and I will never force you to marry someone at will. Since you feel happy in this mansion, then stay here."

After talking with Bao Bao, Lin Jiang got up and went out, and found that Wei Ren was practicing sword in the dusk and the sky was full of brocade.

The faint golden light of the setting sun shone down, reflecting him more like a glowing gem.

Lin Jiang stood on the porch and admired it for a while.

But Wei Ren turned his head and saw her, and lowered his sword.Lin Jiang walked up to him, intending to wipe his sweat with a handkerchief, but when he took out the handkerchief, he remembered that the handkerchief was stuffed with a gem just now.

So he reached out and took Wei
