Lin Ji's struggling life

It was cold winter, with shiny silver bars hanging on the bare branches, and small ice shoots hanging upside down from the eaves. There was a road in the middle of the white yard, and a few boys in cotton jackets were sweeping the snow.After a while, I ran to the concierge, drank a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea, sweated, and felt comfortable all over.

The boys took the big broom and went to the backyard with a smile. It was really hard for these people to sweep out the intricate roads of the Lin family.Of course, Housekeeper Lin made proper arrangements. The concierges in every place are prepared with ginger tea, and the clothes and shoes for these people are all top-notch.

This day, after taking a rest, Lin Ji took Zarafeng'a to Zhang's house.When returning from the three dynasties before, the Zhang family did not want to mingle with the people of Anjun Palace, and it was impossible for Lin Ji and Zarafeng'a to rush to visit the Zhang family, so they had to choose another day.It just so happened that today was the ninth day, so it was barely suitable, so Lin Ji took Zarafeng'a to Zhang's residence together.

Everyone in the Zhang family was naturally waiting in the hall, even Zhang Ruomu was no exception.Lin Ji walked through the corridor and entered the main courtyard. After stepping into the courtyard door, he saw a crowd of people bustling in the corridor, some of whom he had met and some of whom he had never met.

He is very familiar with Zhang Tingzan and Zhang Tingyu, but this time there are two more, namely Zhang Tinglu and Zhang Tingyu.The whole family stood together, Lin Ji felt dizzy looking at it, there were too many people.Although he knew that the ancients advocated many children and grandchildren, but...

He bowed to salute, met all the uncles, and then saluted Zhang Ying and Mrs. Zhang. After seeing the salute, men and women sat in separate seats.Lin Ji was right next to Zhang Tingyu, and Zhang Ying was very satisfied with this grandson-in-law. Although he became a royal bodyguard, his status was very different from before, but Zhang Ying was not a pedantic person, and the children were promising, so he was happier than anyone else.

At this moment, he was pulling Lin Ji to talk, chatting about trivial matters in the court.Mrs. Zhang was impatient to hear this, and dragged Zarafon'a to the other side.

Zhang Tinglu and Zhang Tingyu are studying in an academy in the suburbs of Beijing, and they often have to go out to study with their husbands, and now coincides with Zarafon'a's wedding, and the New Year is approaching, so Zhang Yingcai called them back.While talking to Zhang Ying, Lin Ji observed Zhang Tingzan's expression, his face was haggard, his brows were thick, and his face was pale.Chinese medicine pays attention to seeing, smelling, asking, and knowing. Lin Ji can see a little way when he looks at it. Combined with the slight smell of Chinese medicine on his body, he knows it in his heart.

In the afternoon, Lin Ji and Zhang Tingyu were drinking tea on the porch, and they talked about Zhang Tingzan's body.It was Lin Ji who found out that the Zhang family had invited Master Wu'an to treat Zhang Tingzan, but there was nothing he could do. The old illness could only be recuperated slowly.

He also sighed slightly, it's no wonder that Mrs. Xu is such a strong person.

Of course, men gather to talk about outside affairs, but women are different. Mrs. Xu pulled Zarafon'a and asked about the house affairs in a low voice. After listening for a long time, she nodded in satisfaction.She gave Mrs. Zhang a look, and the two of them knew each other.Zhang Ruomu didn't care about the eyebrow-eye lawsuit between her mother and grandma, she just asked Zarafeng'a about Daiyu.The two little sisters may not have seen each other for a long time, and Lin Daiyu is busy with family affairs these days, so she hasn't written to Zhang Ruomu for a long time.

"Cousin, when will your family have a banquet?" Zhang Ruomu pulled Zarafeng'a and asked straight away. Every household will hold a banquet at the end of the year to invite relatives and friends. Naturally, it must be done in a big way.This is also what Zhang Ruomu heard from her mother and grandma talking about it by chance, and she couldn't wait to go to the Lin family again.

Well, in fact, she doesn't miss Daiyu, but misses Qingqing Tongluo Courtyard's amusement park with all kinds of novelty toys.

Zarafeng'a lived with Zhang Ruomu for quite a while, so he knew her temperament and was not angry, "It must be a while, the wedding banquet is not long!"

"Okay," Zhang Ruomu pursed her lips when she heard that, "Then you must come to pick me up early when the time comes." She emphasized repeatedly.

Zarafon'a flicked her head amusedly, "Okay, come and pick you up early to live with Daiyu." She also wanted to let the child relax, and heard that her aunt had arranged a marriage for her. She was going to marry to her hometown in Anhui, so naturally I felt more pity for her.

"Great! It's settled!" She happily jumped three feet high. Although she is 15 years old this year, Zhang Ruomu is still very childish. After all, she was spoiled by her family.

Seeing them laughing, Mrs. Xu didn't intervene, and dragged her mother-in-law to discuss the marriage of the two younger uncles.Zhang Ying intentionally asked the two of them to pass the exam in the next subject, so it was time for the marriage to be arranged.

The whole family enjoyed themselves happily, and when the weather changed slightly, Lin Ji brought Zarafon Ahui to the Lin family, and the holiday that was so hard-won passed away like this.

Back to Kangxi, life is a bit boring.The end of the year is approaching, and the court hall is also very lively. Standing beside Kangxi and watching all this, Lin Ji has some doubts about this kind of life in his heart. Is he really suitable for it?I follow Kangxi every day as a bodyguard, and occasionally give him some tricks, or try to please him.But on such a day, is he really suitable?

Just when Lin Ji doubted himself, Kangxi hit him with a heavy thunder.In addition to staying in his Zhuangzi for a few days, Kangxi also wanted Lin Ji to accompany him to Tantuo Temple.This is not a big problem at first, but since the Tantuo Temple has been closed since the disappearance of Master Wu'an, who knows the meaning of Kangxi's going at this time.

The New Year is coming soon, and a busy year is coming to an end. People also take advantage of this time to reward their family members, and the laughter of children lingers on the streets.Lin Ji got off the watch and walked on the road, but his mood was not calm.Zhang Tingyu told him that after this year, there will probably be vacancies in many places. If this is the case, he has to plan carefully if he wants to release it.

After getting married, Zarafon'a took over the chores of the family, and handled the Lin family's affairs together with Daiyu.The end of the new year is approaching, and the managers from all over the country are rushing to Beijing to pay their respects to the master's family, which is also to report work.With the help of Mammy Xiong, Zarafon'a replaced two stewards with the momentum of a thunderbolt, and adjusted the personnel slightly, and finally rewarded the next wave.Giving a slap and giving a sweet jujube, even Lin Ruhai marveled at her talent.

In this way, people at home and outside are all obedient.After seeing Lin Xi and others in the morning, I wrote the gift list with Daiyu in the afternoon.The Lin family has a few booklets dedicated to registering these, on which are written the details of the gifts and gifts from each household.

When preparing gifts for Jia's mansion, Zarafon'a suddenly thought of what Mrs. Xu told her. Recently, the court is recovering the money borrowed by nobles from the treasury.Most of the Hanchens were not ranked for this kind of behavior similar to a reward. The Zhang family borrowed a little bit. After Sibeile took over the matter, Zhang Tingyu personally took the money and the IOU to the Ministry of Households to repay it.

Zarafon'a searched for all the news about Jia's mansion in his mind, remembering that their ancestral home was Jinling, and the emperor lived in Jia's mansion during his southern tour, and it seemed that they built a palace for the emperor.In this way, those who borrow money from the treasury must have the Jia family.She hesitated whether to add something of gold or silver to the list, which seemed more appropriate.

Of course, her impression of Jia's house was average, but for Daiyu's sake, she paid special attention to it.When it was not appropriate to discuss this kind of matter with Daiyu, she secretly kept it in her heart and planned to talk to Lin Ji at night.

"Sister-in-law, how about we hold a flower banquet, I would like to invite the sisters of the Chen family to come and have fun together." Daiyu wrote the gift list in her hand and asked Zarafon'a.

As soon as Qingqing who was next to her heard that there was a banquet, she immediately clapped her hands happily, jumped up and shouted: "Qingqing likes it, Qingqing wants to see her eldest sister!" Also very obedient.This made Qingqing's sister's heart swell and explode. When Lin Ji got married, she was still arguing to bring her eldest sister to stay for a few days.

Probably because it was inappropriate to call her eldest sister all the time, Wang Xifeng came to the Lin family a few times, and knew the origin of Qingqing and her name, and the children of several families who were familiar with the Lin family also had names early.So she pestered Jia Lian to give her daughter a nickname. It happened that relatives came to the house that day, so she casually named her eldest sister: Qiaojie.

"It's Qiaojie, Qingqing is an elder, you have to take good care of her when you pick her up." Zarafon'a doesn't like to be noisy, but the few people she knows are not noisy, and she is also happy to get together, " Who else do you want to invite?" Generally speaking, the two's maternal grandfather's family is the standard match. Although the Jia family and the Zhang family have no connection, the girl can still talk a few words.

Daiyu thought for a while, "Sisters from the Gao family and the sisters from the Chen family must be invited, as well as those from the Li family, and Qi Lan is next. I think I'll have a small banquet instead of inviting too many people." It’s no use if those who didn’t come together, Daiyu asked politely: “Sister-in-law, do you want to invite the sisters from your natal family?”

Zarafon'a shook his head, "I don't need it." It's not necessary, I don't have any feelings, and it's embarrassing to be stubborn, "Don't forget to give gifts at four o'clock and eight festivals, and you don't need anything else. It just so happens that the girl Ruomu is also thinking about it." Looking at you, this time you can also have fun together." This was also her plan all along.

Before they could reach a conclusion, Lin Ji came back.

"What are you talking about?" Lin Ji entered the room, hugged Qingqing who rushed forward, kissed her, and asked casually, "Do you want to invite someone?"

"Yu'er said that she wants to hold a flower banquet, and we are discussing who to invite." Zarafon'a ordered the servant girl to serve Lin Ji tea, and then pushed him to change clothes, "Go and clean up before you come, we will eat soon." It's supper."

These days, they all set the dining table in the main hall of the inner courtyard. Lin Ruhai was going to the banquet today and would not come back. Only a few of them had dinner together.After dinner, go for a walk as usual, and then go back to the yard.

Lying on the bed at night, after strenuous exercise, Lin Ji put his arms around Zarafon'a's waist, and buried his head between her neck, "The emperor told me today that he is going to live in our village for a while, I will It’s been a few days since I have to accompany you in the car.” Suddenly, I felt a little bit reluctant, and when I thought about my plan, I felt more and more depressed.

"Then why don't I go too?" Zarafon'a teased, she thought Lin Ji like this was quite cute, "Then everyone laughed at you, um, Lin Duwei is afraid of guilt?!"

Lin Ji turned his back, not wanting to pay attention to this little woman.

Zarafon'a turned around and hugged him, a little funny, touched the flesh on his stomach, it was hard and firm.After all, they were young, couldn't bear to be teased, and rolled together again.
