Joyful Reunion

The two women talked very congenially, and they left after a long time at the lunch banquet, but Jiang did not let Li Yuncong go home with her, and only said: "Ayan said that she was going to Yonghe Hall to see a patient in the afternoon, so she came to Beijing. I don't know her well outside, there are many people on the street, and there is nothing wrong with you today, so you send her there."

Li Yuncong quickly agreed, watched her get into the carriage and left, turned around and said, "Ayan, are you going to Yonghe Hall now?"

Yan Shuangzi nodded and said, "It's Cui Qianhu's brother from the day before yesterday who has been living in Yonghe Hall. The thread on his body hasn't been removed yet. I have to go and see it every day."

Li Yuncong said quickly, "Then I'll see you off now and ask Uncle Guan to drive."

Yan Shuangzi shook her head and said, "I don't want to take the car today, I've eaten too much at noon, why don't I go on foot, with my third brother here, I can go on foot."

Li Yuncong saw her lips pursed into a smile, thinking that she was very mysterious, her big eyes had already revealed her thoughts, and said with a doting smile, "Want to go to the street to see? Let's go then, let's walk!"

Yan Shuangzi smiled and said, "Third brother still knows about me."

The two walked to Yonghe Hall side by side, Yan Shuangzi didn't care about everything on the street, she just enjoyed the time walking with him very much, wishing that the road to Yonghe Hall would not be too much if it was several times longer.

Li Yuncong was very happy to see her, and said, "How is Uncle Yan, when will he come to Beijing?"

Yan Shuangzi said: "Father is fine. Yingtian still has business to be delivered. He has long wanted to come to the capital for a visit. When he arrives in a few days, he will definitely stay for a while. Third brother is going to the government office tomorrow? When's the next time you want to rest?"

Li Yuncong said: "In this court, apart from the fixed holidays for New Year's Day, there are three other days every month, but the first day is not fixed. Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the Lantern Festival will last for three days. At that time, there will be many people and things, and everyone inside and outside the Shuntian Mansion will be tense. Nerves, these days are getting busier."

Yan Shuangzi didn't speak for a long while, Li Yuncong smiled and said: "Don't worry, I can still catch up with you and go home for dinner on the Mid-Autumn Festival. I haven't seen you in four years, and I always say that I want to fulfill my brother's responsibility but it's just empty talk. Why don't I take you to visit the Mid-Autumn Festival night scene in Beijing?"

Yan Shuangzi hurriedly nodded and said: "Then it's settled, the capital's best place is said to be the root of the imperial city, and I really want to see it!"

Li Yuncong thought for a while and said: "Then I will take you to the mountains next time when I go back to sleep. There are several good mountains in the suburbs of Beijing, especially the red leaves of Xiangshan Mountain. In good time, I know you don't like to draw some artificial landscapes, it depends on whether you like those landscapes, and it would be good to keep one or two pictures at that time."

Yan Shuangzi said: "Although the garden is beautiful, I still feel that the natural landscape is more true. That day in Chengyuan, I originally wanted to draw a picture of shaking the sword for the third brother, but it never came to fruition. The sword that Mr. Ji cast back then , is the third brother doing it all right?"

Li Yuncong said with a smile: "Bringing this up, Ayan, don't laugh at me, I have used that sword for four years, and it has not yet been sharpened."

Yan Shuangzi breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Third Brother is a civil servant, how can there be anything that can make Third Brother go into battle to kill the enemy, if he doesn't use his blade all the time, then at least it means that Third Brother can sit in the hall safely, I can't wait for it. "

Li Yuncong shook his head and said: "You can think of it simply. If something happens one day, the officials of Ming Dynasty should bear the brunt of it and do their duty loyally for the country and the king. They can't just think about hiding behind."

Yan Shuangzi stopped in her tracks, looked up at him for a while, Li Yuncong saw the worried look in her eyes, and immediately knew that she was thinking too much, so he comforted her with a smile: "Don't worry, Ah Yan, I should always encourage myself with the words just now, and remind myself Do your best, just as you said, as a civil servant, I may not really have the opportunity to kill the enemy in this life, don't worry!"

Yan Shuangzi shook her head and said: "Third brother and I haven't seen each other in the past four years, but every time third brother mentions current affairs and opinions in letters, I know very well that third brother is loyal and upright. A hero like Shan Gong always feels uneasy and hates why he has these ominous thoughts..."

Li Yuncong was surprised and said: "Why do you have such an idea, Ayan, why are you worrying too much? The world is peaceful, how do you think of going to the previous dynasty?"

Yan Shuangzi suddenly felt a burst of uncontrollable sadness welling up in her eyes. Seeing his concerned look, his starry eyes were wide open, and the brows were full of righteousness, she couldn't help but murmured: "Because you don't know..."

Li Yuncong saw that she was so sad suddenly, he was puzzled and at a loss for a while, so he reached out to stroke her hair and said, "I don't know what?"

Yan Shuangzi held back her tears, and said softly: "It's nothing... The girl is just thinking about it all day long, looking for troubles for herself."

Li Yuncong looked at her with some doubts, seeing that she was unwilling to speak, and couldn't bear to delve into it, so he said: "You say that you are thinking nonsense, then don't think about what you have in the future. If you have any doubts, don't you have three more questions?" Is brother there, look, the hospital is here, don’t be sad, you know the name Jin Yiwei, it’s a little tricky, be careful when you see a doctor, I’ll wait for you outside, I’ll take you back later, okay Bar?"

Yan Shuangzi nodded silently, and the two entered Yonghe Hall together.

On the eighth day of August, Yan Shuangzi removed the thread from the injured sixth child. Cui Zhen had already inquired about her situation, and ordered someone to send a gift to Yang's residence. He refused to eat, Yan Shuangzi didn't know this person's pulse, and didn't dare to deal with him, just discussed with the teacher, since he gave it to him, then accept it calmly, the left and right are just ordinary things, this person looked at it He is very loyal, thinking that his brother's life is more important than these vulgar things. Now that his brother's injuries are all right, a Jin Yiwei and an envoy of the imperial hospital probably won't have any intersections, so I leave it alone. up.

Finally, on August [-]th, Yan Shuangzi got up early in the morning to get ready. It was Qiu Shui who knew what was on her mind and carefully selected clothes for her. When Li Yuncong came back to the mansion to see her at night, he was also a little surprised. Seeing her smiling from ear to ear, she quietly told Yan Niang, who was serving beside her, to also prepare a new set of clothes for her son, and asked him to change before going out at night.

Yan Shuangzi got out of the sedan chair and looked at Li Yuncong's outfit today. She wore a purple gold crown with hair tied on her head, a sea blue and white satin gown with moiré edges, and a bee waist and ape arms. Keep your eyes open.

Li Yuncong's face became a little hot from her smile, and he said, "Ayan, is it not appropriate for me to be like this today?"

Yan Shuangzi hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Don't, don't, everyone means that the third brother is so handsome today, so I won't laugh, let's go watch the lights!"

Li Yuncong breathed a sigh of relief, and the two walked forward side by side, with Yunniang Bitao and the others just trailing behind.

"At the foot of the Son of Heaven, it's really bustling and romantic!" A group of people walked to a archway, and saw a tall building next to it, with a plaque of "Ruoxian Pavilion" hanging on it, and several beauties in costumes were playing and playing on the pavilion. The girl in the snow dress and red dress danced gracefully, attracting overwhelming applause from the crowd, and the atmosphere in the whole street became more and more enthusiastic, and she couldn't help sighing.

Li Yuncong said with a smile: "I'm afraid these girls in the song are not from Ruoxian Pavilion. There are so many influences in Beijing. Every festival, some gangs or pavilions will take the lead in singing and dancing to attract attention. It is also to raise the back We can't see anything about the value of those forces, and those who understand it will naturally understand it, and they will contact them privately to discuss after singing and dancing."

Yan Shuangzi said thoughtfully: "It's not easy for the third brother to sit in the Shuntian Mansion. The government and these big and small forces need to have a balance among them. It is very hard to think about it."

Li Yuncong said: "As long as he came here, I will go all the way. Shuntian Prefecture has its own rules, the government has its own way, and the people have its own way. Above the government office, there are six ministries and the cabinet. The balance is not allowed to be easily broken because of its power. I only do well the things within Shuntian Mansion's responsibilities, stick to the principles, and act without further interference."

Yan Shuangzi smiled and said: "I heard that the third brother solved the problem of the Escort's competition for escorting the emperor's gang as soon as he took office that day. The street was suddenly peaceful, and it can be seen that I was wrong in the past."

After hearing this, Li Yuncong wondered, "Ayan, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Shuangzi smiled and said: "I was wrong. I was always afraid that the third brother would be too upright and too straightforward. Now, it seems that the third brother is well-rounded and knowledgeable. He doesn't study hard. The third brother handles affairs outside the circle and inside the square, so he may not be able to pay homage to the cabinet in the future, I must hurry up and make amends to the third brother!"

After speaking, he squatted down and gave him a blessing with a smile, causing Li Yuncong to shake his head and said: "It's still so cramped, don't mess around! There is no shadow in worshiping a prime minister, and it is not easy to do the things in front of you well, besides Now in court..."

Thinking of His Majesty's attitude towards the matter of opposing the reserve, he felt depressed for a while, so he fell silent.

Yan Shuangzi knew what he was thinking, because she asked: "The favoritism of the one above is now known to the whole world, but the third brother also went to the discount table?"

Li Yuncong nodded and said: "The ancestral system cannot be violated. The eldest son of the emperor has already entered school. The one in Yikun Palace is now becoming more and more powerful. Zheng's party members are ready to move. In order to fight for the foundation of the country, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers has become more and more rigid in recent years. The upper and lower personnel are frivolous. Only by establishing a reserve as soon as possible and stabilizing the government can government orders be carried out smoothly, and if this continues, it will be of no benefit to the country."

Yan Shuangzi said worriedly: "I'm afraid that not only will the third brother's paper not be responded to, but it will annoy the saint because of it. I know among the people that the person above him is not easy to get along with. The chief assistant, Mr. Zhang, said He was still an emperor teacher, but the whole family fell into such a miserable situation after his death, and he has not been rehabilitated so far, which shows that the saint holds vengeance very much."

Li Yuncong hurriedly said: "Speak carefully!"

He looked left and right before exhorting: "Ayan, in the future, you must not mention that emperor teacher outside. Even if there is no one around you, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, you know? If you are not careful, you will be killed!"

Yan Shuangzi nodded hurriedly. Seeing that she had listened carefully, Li Yuncong said: "Stop talking about these things, I'll take you to go boating in Houhai. It's so lively tonight, the scenery in Houhai is really good. It's just a pity that your The painting boat is left in Yingtian, so we have to rent a boat."

Yan Shuangzi smiled and said: "Father said that the big painting studio will be opened by taking the canal, but we can't make it today."
