Chapter 32 The Eve of Returning to Beijing
Chapter 32
When the thin ice on the Jianshui River gradually melted, Lin Yuanzhi's reply to the written document finally came belatedly. The person who came to announce the edict was actually the same old eunuch from last time, different from the disgusting smile of the last time. The look of not smiling can be called flattery this time. He even humbly refused to ask for the usual purse, and the speed of reading the imperial edict became much faster. [26nbsp;]
"By the destiny of heaven, the emperor said, "I will appoint Lin Yuanzhi, the envoy of punishment and inspection. He is worthy of his great responsibilities, his thorny palace is beautiful, his rock city is famous, his peace and tranquility remain unchanged, his wind and rules are cool and cool, his virtue is calm and barbaric, and he has been nourished for a long time." The fog is full of literature, the clouds are rising quickly and the fragrance is clear, and the clouds are flowing brightly. I present it to the Minister of Justice Zuo of the Ministry of Punishment. He will return to the capital in February to take up his post. The lotus will be piled on the dragon chapter, and the light will flow forever on the horse mane.
Your wife, Mrs. Cui, has a clear heart and a solid nature. She is a Confucian concubine who has been clean and cultivated in the world. She combined the four virtues to honor the honorary medal. She gave birth to the IKEA family gracefully. She worked hard and achieved great success, and her reputation as a concubine became famous. Cherishing the difference between Yi Zhi and Luan, and remembering that I have served you so hard to support my wife, I hereby regard Qin's gift to you as the imperial edict of the third rank. The glory of Zhijian will be shown for thousands of years, and one virtue will be shown to you. Thank you."
Although I still don’t quite understand, who is Yu Zhu? She was a “wonderful woman” who could guess the answer based on keywords even though she didn’t understand CET-6 in college English back then. I caught her quickly. What the host meant: Dad and Mom have been promoted and are going back to Beijing.
Yu Zhu was thinking wildly in his mind, but his body followed Lin Yuanzhi's three kowtows and bowed nine times meticulously, and there was no trace of anything wrong at all.
The old eunuch was very skillful in handing over the imperial edict to Lin Yuanzhi. Different from the superficial smile last time, he smiled very sincerely: "Master Lin, congratulations, the emperor is very happy this time, and our family is very happy." I heard the news, you will be rewarded heavily when you return to Beijing."
Lin Yuanzhi was very clear about the old eunuch's intention to sell him well. In fact, he couldn't blame others. The way of the world was to conquer the low when the high was high, and he couldn't be dismissive of these people's overtures. After all, there were many people in the capital. There are many ways to do it, and you don't offend people in vain.
Lin Yuanzhi was also a seasoned official, so he smiled and said: "No matter where you are, we should take care of each other from now on."
When the old eunuch got the answer he wanted, he curled up his lips with satisfaction, stopped talking nonsense, and immediately left.
The Lin family was left standing in the lobby, laughing happily.
Mrs. Cui calculated that she would leave in less than half a month, so she immediately stopped dilly-dallying and packed up her things immediately. After turning around in a circle, she turned back and said with a smile on her face: "Girl Zhu, come with me quickly." , look at what you don’t like, if you don’t like it I won’t bring it.”
Yuzhu obediently stepped forward and stretched out his hand for Cui to hold. He heard his mother's nagging voice: "Throw away what needs to be thrown away. The boat can go faster if there are less things. I don't know how your brothers are doing? Have you lost weight?" If they have been wronged, my mother will definitely help them get it back."
It's great, it's great to have such a strong, smart and motherly mother. Yuzhu followed Cui with a smile, nodding from time to time and saying "hmm" twice to show his support.
Spring came very early in Qingzhou, and the spring breeze blew in February. The day to return to Beijing was approaching, but Yu Zhu became more and more worried, and Grandma Wang's illness became more and more serious.
Winter always takes away the lives of many elderly people. After a hard winter, there are always many elderly people taking to the streets, breathing in the warm breeze of the New Year and the breath of life. But this spring, Grandma Wang seems to be unable to go out again.
"Sister, second mother, please don't stay at home... Second mother is not afraid of people entering the palace... Sister... Sister... Second mother must stay with her..." Grandma Wang was lying weakly on the bed, already staring in confusion.
She kept talking nonsense. Yu Zhu slowly pieced together the events of that year from her fragmentary narration.
Grandma Wang should be named Erniang. She has an older sister named Da Niang. They were born in a family of embroidery and were recruited into the palace by the order of the previous dynasty. The aunt already has a marriage contract. As long as she gets married quickly, she will not be considered a member of the Wang family, but she knows that her beloved
The younger sister's temperament will definitely lead to death once she enters the palace, so the aunt will bear the pain and give it to her.
The mother's tea was mixed with Mongolian sweat medicine, and she entered the palace on her sister's behalf. There was no news from that time. After Bian embroidery was jointly suppressed by other embroidery species, the Wang family fell into decline. After a storm, only Er Niang was left in the large family. The soft-tempered Er Niang
Although my mother has outstanding craftsmanship, she is not experienced in the world. You can imagine how difficult her life is...
Grandma Wang was lying on a thick cotton mattress. She was so thin and dry that only a slight bulge could be seen outside the quilt. Yu Zhu felt sour in her heart, must good people be rewarded? Grandma Wang had a meek temper and would not be friendly with others.
The fight was completely harmless, but she ended up like this in this world. Who would pity her and help her? It was me. If it hadn't been for Ning Qiu's meager apology, how would he have thought of taking care of her?
Such a poor old man.
In the final analysis, people are selfish. Living in this world does not mean that others will let you go if you don't fight. In order to live well, you have to fight and fight.
In a trance, he saw Grandma Wang's eyes trembling and then slowly opening them. There was a daze inside, as if she couldn't focus. Yu Zhu felt a pain in her heart and hurriedly approached her and asked softly: "Master? You're awake, how do you feel?
Well, do you want some water?"
Grandma Wang slowly rolled her eyes, as if she had just woken up. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but no sound came out. She was stunned for a moment, then gave a wry smile, and tears slowly fell from her eyes. Suddenly she
Looking straight at Yuzhu, his eyes were full of prayers
Yu Zhu didn't know that she was asking him to look after Ning Qiu, so he nodded vigorously and assured: "Don't worry, I won't ignore sister Ning Qiu."
Grandma Wang then closed her eyes with peace of mind and fell into sleep again.
…
As Yuzhu sat in the sedan on the way to the pier, the scenes in Qingzhou appeared in front of his eyes like a movie: chaotic people, epidemics, Bodhisattvas, talismans, simple gifts on the ground, delicious fish jelly, and the innocent and persistent Ning
Autumn, Grandma Wang's dexterous hands, Lin Yuanzhi and Mrs. Cui's increasingly tacit understanding of their behavior, words and deeds, leaving the Wanmin Umbrella given by the common people... and ending abruptly in front of Grandma Wang's tomb.
Although this place is not rich and prosperous, not to mention the capital, it is not even comparable to Dengzhou, but here, she can cook, be free and live as she pleases, and know the existence of so many pure and kind people...
Here the father is alone, without concubines, without the sarcasm of the concubine. The family of three is like a real family, enjoying themselves every day. Thinking about such a big family in the capital gives me a headache.
It was really time to go to the capital, and Mrs. Cui seemed to be silent. She sat quietly in the car without talking. Was she thinking about how to deal with the relationship between the two houses after returning to the capital? Or how to avenge her husband? No one knew.
We arrived at the dock in the spring breeze that had not yet completely lifted the chill.
