"What did Ding Changan say?" Lin Wan straightened up and asked seriously.

Yuzhu glanced around, Qiuzi understood, and hurriedly pulled Forsythia out of the house, chatting at the door of the yard.

"Ding Chang'an said that the person who sold the medicine to Yao Yuzhang's boy was a charlatan. He was in his forties and had been in the capital for less than half a year. He was used to fooling people and had been arrested several times by the government. There were too many people who had contact with him.

, most of them are ordinary people, and occasionally there are idle people. I haven’t figured it out yet, so please wait a moment, girl.”

Lin Wan sighed, nodded towards Yuzhu, and stared at the little fox for a while. "Go and bring in Shopkeeper Liao."

Not long after, Liao Zhongwen was led by Yuzhu and met Lin Wan in the side courtyard. The expression on Liao Zhongwen's face was a little strange. He cupped his hand towards Lin Wan and said hesitantly: "Girl, shopkeeper Zhao said that he wants to retire and return to his hometown."

Lin Wan had a sarcastic smile on her face, waved her hands, and replied nonchalantly: "If he wants to resign, he can resign, and it's not easy for us to stay. But don't forget to do what you should do. Shopkeeper Zhao has so many things in the north.

Year, hard work has paid off, and this year's dividend will be an additional two hundred taels of silver, which is considered as my travel expenses for him."

Liao Zhongwen nodded in agreement, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "This is the girl's sympathy for shopkeeper Zhao. Do you want to send someone to keep an eye on it?"

"No need." Lin Wan narrowed her eyes slightly and ordered to Liao Zhongwen, "We will not do business in the north this year. Please comfort me, and we will talk about the rest after the war is over."

Liao Zhongwen agreed and left.

The weather in the capital was gradually getting hotter, but it was still cool in the suburbs. Lin Wan had some free time at Zhuangzi, and occasionally took Mrs. Liu out for a walk. Mother and daughter lived happily. Unexpectedly, it was almost June.

, the wives of the Marquis of Chong'an suddenly came over with news, which made Mrs. Liu sigh in shock.

It turned out that the fourth girl Lin Min had a private meeting with Xu Heng, a newly admitted scholar, and was caught by the fifth girl Lin Yao. However, Lin Yao was a coward and refused to talk about it. Later, she leaked the information to Grandma Qian. Grandma Qian took care of her.

The mother-in-law followed Lin Min and caught him. Somehow, he got into trouble with Marquis Chong'an. Lin Zhiyuan was furious, and Mrs. Feng was also reprimanded. Mrs. Yang was so angry that she jumped up and cried to death.

When I went to Mrs. Feng's place, I was told that Mrs. Feng had not taken care of the house well and that she would hang herself if she didn't deal with it well - in short, it was a mess.

Later, Mrs. Feng spoke up and suppressed her, and then persuaded Lin Zhiyuan to meet Xu Heng. As for who he was, Lin Wan and her daughter did not know. They only heard from the mother-in-law who came to report that as soon as the man left, Chong'an

Hou then said something: People who are greedy for profit! The Chong'an Hou Mansion cannot afford such a relative, let him live his whole life in the northwest!

After that, the two families quickly made an agreement, and now the mother-in-law came because Lin Min had decided to get married in June, so she came to inform Mrs. Liu.

Lin Wan was dumbfounded, and finally sighed along with Liu.

Because mother and daughter had filial piety, Mrs. Liu smiled and asked the mother-in-law to go back and pass the message, saying that she was afraid of being rushed. She did not go back when she saw off the bride, and only asked the mother-in-law to bring a box of cloth jewelry as Lin Min's.

Add a box gift.

"I don't know how the third sister is doing." Lin Wan pulled Liu and sighed with emotion.

"I heard that the third girl is quite good at Zhuangzi." Aunt Cao interjected at the right time.

In June, the summer heat gradually showed its power. The sun shone scorchingly on the ground, making people unable to open their eyes. The court was also getting hot these days, and there was still a depressing and stuffy feeling of summer in the south of the Yangtze River.

It's heavy. It makes people feel restless.

The war in the north was tense and food was in short supply. General Lu Junzhao made several trips to Zhezi to ask for food supplies. The emperor was in a bad mood and ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works to prepare things and send them to the north within the next few days.

The two ministers were so anxious that no one seemed to have expected that the war would last from February to June with no outcome. They hurriedly made some excuses and asked the emperor for a few days of grace. It was really impossible to raise so much money and food at the same time.

The Holy Emperor was furious, reprimanded several ministers, and then handed over this important task to King Xining.

The King of Xining jumped in front of the emperor and was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He almost rushed up and grabbed several ministers and prime ministers by their beards and cursed them. In the end, he had to accept the mess with a dark face.

After returning from the imperial court, King Xining's evil spirit disappeared instantly. He lay lazily under the grape trellis at the door of the study, waving his fan and staring at the grapes above his head very comfortably.

Princess Wei came from the yard with a worried look on her face and sighed with King Xining: "I heard that there was a big quarrel in the court, and the Holy One asked the prince to take over the mission of raising food and money? Alas, I don't know what happened to Brother Zhao'er.

"

"Okay, okay, don't think about whether these are available or not. Anyway, remember, I am so annoyed that I want to kill someone, so everyone in the house should be careful not to anger me!" King Xining smiled and shook his head for Princess Wei.

He was holding a fan and there was no trace of anger on his face.

Princess Wei nodded understandingly, the worry in her eyes dissipated a lot, and said with a smile: "I understand. The boss and his wife sent a letter, saying that they have set off and are expected to arrive in the capital by the end of the month. Wait for Brother Zhao.

After we come back from the war and get a wife, our family will be more lively."

The King of Xining chuckled and said "Yeah", but rarely scolded Lu Junzhao.

In the evening, the eldest prince hurriedly entered the palace, talked to the Holy Emperor, stayed there for half an hour, and then hurriedly left the hall.

The current emperor, the fifty-three-year-old Emperor Cheng Ming, watched his eldest son's back gradually disappear at the entrance of the palace, and laughed softly, but there was a chill in his eyes.

The eunuch Su Wen from the Chuishou Temple next to him smiled cautiously and asked, "Where is your majesty resting today?"

"It's in the Chengqian Hall!" Emperor Cheng Ming waved his hand, looking tired. Su Wen hurriedly stepped forward and rubbed the emperor's forehead.

"Humph, the boss is so arrogant, but he doesn't know how to hide it! He also wants to serve as a military governor and escort grain and grass to Beiyan! He thinks it's so easy to reach out to the north! And he rushes to deliver things to people! What a brainless fool!" Emperor Cheng Ming said in his tone.

I was angry and angry, my chest was heaving, and I couldn't help but cough after I finished speaking.

Su Wen hurriedly calmed Emperor Cheng Ming's anger and served hot tea. He didn't answer a word of what Emperor Cheng Ming said.

The next day, the King of Xining took the bait and begged for nothing, saying that he would either give money or food. There was no reason for all the officials in the capital to sit back and relax and let his son go to war without providing supplies!

The Holy Emperor had no choice but to frown and gave an order to the Ministry of Household Affairs to help King Xining raise money.

A few days later, the King of Xining started to yell again. He published a book and reprimanded the officials of the Ministry of Revenue for eating for nothing and not doing anything. He even cheated on the emperor, saying that there was money in the treasury but not paying it out, and the Ministry of Revenue did not do anything. He threatened.

I have to give up my career.

The Holy One had no choice but to issue another order, ordering everyone to reduce expenditures. Even the money spent on repairing the summer resort this year was temporarily used as military expenses.

Only then did the court temporarily settle down.

Prince Xining was running around everywhere, and everyone he caught had only two words: "money" and "food." Prince Xining's palace was also in a state of panic, and Princess Wei looked haggard. Everyone in the palace was frightened, fearing that they would offend their own prince.

In mid-June, the King of Xining managed to collect some food and hurriedly transported it to the border. The military supplies at the Ministry of Industry were also less than half completed, and various ordnance, bows and arrows were shipped together. The person in charge of escorting them.

It was Yan Qing who was caressing the military affairs supervisor.

Lin Wan could not intervene in these affairs of the court. She could only listen to the information Ding Changan inquired about and figure out when she could get her money back.

On June 17th, Lin Min, the sixth girl of the Chong'an Marquis Mansion, got married to Xu Heng, a new scholar. Immediately after, the Xu family and their family went to a small county in the northwest to take office. On the eve of taking office, Xu Heng was very proud of the spring breeze and invited several people.

In the same year they made friends, he got drunk amidst the flattery of everyone and left the capital in the Xu family's carriage the next day.

Lin Wan and Mrs. Liu were still staying in Zhuangzi. In the meantime, they made a trip back to the capital. They first went to Uncle Chengyi’s Mansion to offer incense to Mrs. Wang, and then went back to the Marquis of Chong’an Mansion to show their faces. Ms. Liu pulled Lin Min and said

After saying a few words and personally delivering a box of pearls and jades that the shopkeepers in the south had brought to me, I left the capital in a car and went to Cishou Temple to pray for blessings and burn incense.

The village is gradually getting hotter, and you can occasionally hear the chirping of cicadas at night. The lotus flowers in the lake on the village are also in bloom, and they are pink. It is a beautiful scene from a distance.

Ms. Liu's mood has relaxed a lot these days. She occasionally chats with the farm wives and lives a leisurely life. Unexpectedly, in mid-June, she welcomed an unexpected person - Mrs. Su San.

When Mrs. Liu first heard the report from her mother-in-law, she was stunned for a moment. When she heard her mother-in-law said that the Chen family was the mother of the seventh master who was ranked second, Mrs. Liu suddenly remembered who it was at that time. She hurriedly led people to greet her and went out again.

He told the girl to call Lin Wan to come see the guests.

Mrs. Su San smiled and greeted Mrs. Liu, with an apology and a hint of embarrassment on her face, and said she was sorry for bothering her.

Mrs. Liu was surprised in her heart, but with a warm smile on her face, she ordered the girl to fetch fruits from the well water, and took Mrs. Su San's hand into the house.

When Lin Wan entered, the two ladies were chatting happily. Seeing Lin Wan, Mrs. Liu hurriedly waved and smiled at Mrs. Su San: "This is my little girl, her maiden name is Lin Wan. - This is your Aunt Su."

"

Lin Wan smiled and met Mrs. Su San. Mrs. Su San smiled warmly, with a hint of admiration in her eyes, and secretly sighed that she was indeed a good-looking girl. As she spoke, she took a small box from the nanny behind her and handed it to her.

Lin Wan smiled and said: "It's my first time to meet my niece, so I didn't prepare anything. This little thing is considered a meeting gift. Don't dislike it."

"It's too late for me to like it!" Lin Wan smiled and opened the box. Seeing a green and transparent bracelet inside, she thanked her with a smile. "Thank you, Aunt Su."

Mrs. Su San smiled and looked around Lin Wan, then smiled at Mrs. Liu and said, "Whoever sees your daughter will fall in love with her. Have you got engaged?"

Lin Wan was startled when she heard this, then lowered her head, smiled at Mr. Liu and Mrs. Su San, and said, "Mom is talking to Aunt Su. I'll go back and have a look and ask the kitchen to prepare some food and wine."

Mrs. Liu nodded and let Lin Wan go out. Mrs. Su San was satisfied, and her initial worries were half gone. At least the girl was polite, sensible and had a good temper.

"I haven't made a decision yet, but I've looked at several houses. I thought she was young, and a master had approved her marriage, saying that it was not appropriate to decide her marriage early, so I wanted to keep her for another year or two. Now let's start with each family.

Take a look. Hey, a mother always clings to her children." Mrs. Liu smiled and replied to Mrs. Su San's words.

"That's the truth." Mrs. Su San felt the same way. When she heard from Mr. Liu that a master had approved Lin Wan's life, she took it to heart and added with a smile. "I just went to the nearby Guanlan Temple. I heard that a master had approved Lin Wan's life.

They say that Master Huikong is the most accurate in interpreting fortunes. I wanted to ask for a fortune for our family, Qilang, but I didn’t know that Master Huikong was not here.”

Ms. Liu knew something in her mind, and knew that Mrs. Su San might have come here with the intention of getting married. After thinking about it, Lin Min was also married now, so there was no need to have such scruples about the marriage. Although their house was a partial house of the Chen family, it was

My brother was able to get the second place in the exam, and also won the favor of Mr. Chen San, so he had some considerations in his heart.

"Master Huikong of Guanlan Temple often goes out for alms, but rarely in the temple. I often go to Cishou Temple. Although it is far away, I can still walk around and see the surrounding scenery. Sister Wan's in front of me

The fate was approved by Master Jiwu, who said that although her fortune was good, it was not suitable for her to get engaged early. Alas, it made me worried for half a year."

Mrs. Su San smiled happily and hurriedly advised: "Why do you have to worry about this? Although I only came to the capital last year, I have heard the name of Master Jiwu. He can give orders for my niece. That is the best.

What else do you have to worry about? I am worried about our Qilang’s marriage! We are almost 20 years old, and this time I won the Jinshi, but the marriage is not something that makes people worry.” (To be continued.
