Lin Ji's struggling life

Chapter 63 The New Year Comes

Kangxi came to Tangquan Palace before sealing the pen, settled down the accompanying officials and concubines, and then followed Lin Ji to his Zhuangzi.

Before Lin Ji left, Zarafon'a had discussed with him about the Jia family. It turned out that Wang Xifeng had come to Zarafon'a and said that he wanted to cooperate with her.I haven't understood yet, but my intuition is not suitable. Zarafon's grandiose admonishment with women is women's advice to Wang Xifeng to be a woman, just be a housekeeper, and the outside things should be left to men.Such remarks drew Wang Xifeng's indistinct white eyes, and persuaded her to leave.

At this point, Zarafon realized that the Jia family was really short of money.Thinking back to the family-speaking garden that Jia's family had just built, and the loans she had inquired about from Jia's family, it was hard to think about it.

Lin Daiyu's flower feast is scheduled for today, the weather is still good, the snow has stopped, although the weather is cold, but the Lin family's earth dragon is well repaired.A large group of girls bustlingly gathered in the flower hall, talking in twos and threes.Lin Daiyu prepared her favorite tea and pastries for them, and prepared several programs.

When young girls get together, they naturally eat, drink, play, enjoy flowers and paintings, and write two poems by the way.Here the Lin family is entertaining guests lively, while Lin Ji is planning his own selfishness in fear.

Kangxi was also surprised when he came to Lin Ji's Zhuangzi, the hardware and software were very good, and in winter, the lecture hall inside Zhuangzi was full of books.Kangxi changed into casual clothes and took Lin Ji for a stroll around the Zhuangzi. Looking at these novel production tools, admiring the beautiful scenery in the Zhuangzi, imagining the wonderful scenery when the spring came, he felt emotional.

Afterwards, the two of them came to the soup pond that Lin Ji had repaired. It has been remodeled and it is much more spacious.He was soaking in the soup pool with Kangxi, Kangxi closed his eyes to rest his mind, and Lin Ji didn't dare to speak.

"Antai, do you want something?" After a long time, Kangxi said.

In fact, Kangxi just took care of Lin Ji as his own nephew. He loved someone and could spoil him to the sky, but he hated someone but could crush him into the mud.This time when Lin Ji brought him here, Kangxi had seen everything that Lin Ji wanted him to see, so he naturally had some thoughts.

Lin Ji didn't dare to hide it, "Your Majesty, Zhang Zai in the Northern Song Dynasty is a model for humble officials. I also want to, like him, establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations. Think hard about this." Go in the direction to contribute to the Qing Dynasty." He paused, "Now I am still young and inexperienced, but I am willing to go to other places to experience some experience." Instead of being trapped in this capital city and living through these youths time.

Kangxi looked at the child in front of him, his green face was not stained with dust, his eyes were pure but persistent, reminding him of the days when he was full of vigor. "You have to know, if you want to send it down, it's either south or north." Neither place is a good place. The Lin family has only one child and shoulders the mission of two families. How can Lin Ruhai agree, and how can I agree.

"Your Majesty, I have made up my mind, and I only ask for the Emperor's fulfillment." Lin Ji knew that Kangxi had a preference for him, and he was betting on this preference.

... Kangxi did not speak, and the two of them remained silent until Liang Jiugong came in to remind them that they got up.

The dinner is served on Zhuangzi, where you can also eat fresh, juicy dishes and even seafood in winter.Kangxi and Lin Ji went together, seeing him eating deliciously, Kangxi couldn't help eating half a bowl of rice too.Of course, we still go for a walk together after dinner.

"Antai, if you really want to go, I am willing to help you. I just hope that you can remember the responsibilities you bear." Kangxi sighed, he just thought of his brother, maybe, if He is still there, and he will agree.

Delegating to the local area, it is said that he can have the opportunity to make contributions, but that is the idea of ​​a poor family. As a nobleman with a title, as long as Lin Ji stays in front of the imperial court, he will definitely be able to enter the cabinet when he reaches the age .But he didn't want to do that. Walking along the known path like this would make people panic and lose their way forward.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Lin Ji bent down and gave a long bow.

Lin Ji also knew that his behavior was capricious. If Lin Ruhai knew, he would definitely not agree.But what he wanted to do was to leave the capital.

For some reason, the pride and aspirations of the imperial examinations have disappeared.Now he follows Kangxi every day, listening to officials discussing political affairs, full of intrigues and intrigues.He also admits that high-ranking officials have room to play, a wider world, and more rights, but he is still willing and wants to go to places, experience customs and people, and understand life.Or in the future, when he is fully ready, he will return to the capital. At that time, he may also shine and have more room for development.

Kangxi looked at him with blazing eyes, and felt deeply moved in his heart, "I hope you can grow up faster, child, it's good to go to experience some experience, after all, there are parents who are in the way, and they can always support you." So go ahead and do it without worry.

"I obey the order!" Lin Ji looked at Kangxi with emotion in his heart.

As the sky was getting dark, Kangxi took Lin Ji to Tangquan Palace. The two played chess and chatted about various experiences.Lin Ji was born in the south of the Yangtze River, grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, and often travels around, so he naturally has something to say.Although Kangxi also fought in the South and the North, what he saw during the private visit of Weifu was not necessarily true. He was willing to learn about the world and his country from Lin Ji.

"So you have eaten it before?" Kangxi played a white chess piece, groping for his jade finger, "How does it taste?" The two talked about what the common people ate during the disaster year.

Thinking of the taste of sweet potatoes, Lin Ji frowned slightly, "It's slightly bitter, but it's enough to satisfy your hunger." It's good to be able to eat these, but more people can't eat anything, and starve to death. "There are also folks who eat Guanyin. Soil, swell up and die."

It's not that these people don't know, it's just that they are hungry to a certain extent, and it's better to starve to death than to starve to death.

"Yeah, we only see singing and dancing, but we don't know that many people are suffering." Kangxi felt a little helpless when he thought of the wasteful life habits of the Eight Banners and his sons who spent money like dirt.

Lin Ji smiled, "Actually, it's not that bad. This kind of thing has happened since ancient times. Your majesty has done a good job." He knew that Kangxi allocated countless gold, silver, food and grass for disaster relief every year. It’s just that the ministers should work hard.” How to ensure that the money can reach the people’s hands smoothly, and that the food and grass can enter the people’s stomachs is indeed the task of the officials.

Kangxi laughed aloud, "You child, in order to release him, you will use any means." Telling yourself these things is not because you want yourself to transfer him out.

"Your Majesty, I just want to see more of this great river and mountain, and I only hope to do some practical things for the people. Of course it is good to be an official in Beijing. I have good clothes and fine food, but I must always be worthy of this meal and porridge, and be worthy of myself." Heart." At an age when he can fight, he should fight hard, he has space, and he can go outside and have a good time.

Originally, he took part in the imperial examination just to get some background. He planned to be an official in the capital for a few years, step by step, and when he got a higher official position, he would have more power to speak out.Now that he has a background, he can naturally realize his wish ahead of schedule.

"Okay! Well said! You have to do more practical things, and you must be worthy of everything you enjoy." Kangxi smiled, and Lin Ji hit his mind.Over the years, he has always said this to himself, since he became the emperor, he naturally has to take on the responsibility of the world.Once upon a time, he also wanted to establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the living and the people, inherit the unique knowledge for the past saints, and create peace for all generations!

The monarch and his ministers chatted until late at night, accompanied by the flickering candlelight.

Emperor Kangxi lived in Tangquan Palace for three days, and Lin Ji also stayed with him for three days. After returning to the palace, Kangxi sealed the pen.All the trivial things of the previous year were stopped, and I concentrated on preparing the banquet.

New Year's Eve banquet, worshiping ancestors, New Year's banquet, all kinds of things are busy, and in the midst of desperation, some people will always grow up and some people will always be stubborn.

It was not easy for the Lin family to reunite, Lin Ruhai decided to open the wine, and even Qingqing drank a small glass of fruit wine.The family had a lively meal, and on New Year's Eve, of course, they would watch the night together.Lin Ji prepared fancy fireworks, and invited a family to watch by the waterside pavilion. The servants covered their ears while reaching out to light up the introduction with cigarettes. The random colors made the whole family watch intently, and Qingqing applauded.

After setting off the fireworks, go back to the hall, and on the set up stage, the singers are ready.The lively drama started, Lin Ruhai and Lin Ji were sitting together, Lin Daiyu and Zarafeng's two sisters-in-law were chatting together, and Qingqing kept begging for this and that beside Lin Ji and Lin Ruhai, and just couldn't stop.

The play sang for a while before the whole family watched the play quietly.

The new year is coming. For Zarafon'a, this is the happiest new year. He is married and has his own home.The busy preparation work did not make her feel tired or tired, but she gritted her teeth and persevered.Together with Daiyu, she distributed rewards to the people in the house, met with the stewards, and took care of all the trivial matters.During the New Year's Eve banquet, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. The hard work of these days made her back ache slightly, and she was leaning on the soft couch, drowsy.

The whole family watched the time, and the sound of babbling on the stage spread far, far away.

The bell rang in the early morning, and the new year finally came. Lin Ruhai sent red envelopes to several children, and the red bag was painted with a New Year's blessing doll in gold ink.When he sent red letters to Lin Ji and Zarafon'a, he specially selected two chubby dolls, hoping that they would add children to the Lin family in the coming year.

Lin Ji and Zarafon'a went back to the yard, halfway there, Zarafon'a's shoes and socks were wet, Lin Ji carried the man on his back, and walked towards their yard step by step.
