In the Lin family hall, there is a huge round table, covered with festive tablecloths, and full of food. Although it is not like that in the palace, it is still well-thought-out.
Ye Wanwan didn't come, and no one took a seat, including the old lady.
"Girl Wanwan is here." The old lady was happy when she saw Ye Wanwan. She always felt like she was in a dream. Only when she saw her did she feel at ease.
Ye Wanwan helped the old lady over and sat in the middle, then sat down beside her: "Grandma, I'm next to you."
The old lady smiled so hard that she narrowed her eyes: "Okay, the last time I had dinner with you, you were still a baby. You have grown so big so fast."
Ye Wanwan smiled: "Even if you grow up, don't you still treat me as a child?"
The old lady laughed: "Isn't it just a little baby?"
Wu Yu added carelessly: "Then if you think about it, I'm not a child anymore."
It immediately made everyone laugh.
Others sat down one after another and ate together. The Lin family was a civil servant family and they ate and slept silently. Even a noisy person like Wu Yu also calmed down and just stared at each one of them picking up food for Ye Wanwan.
, it's a pity that her location is a bit far away, otherwise she could have sent a chopstick over.
After dinner, we cleared the table and drank tea together.
Ye Wanwan then asked people to bring the gifts she had brought. Ye Wanwan was also very down-to-earth. She had a lot of valuables in her hands, but those gifts given by the emperor could not be bought or sold, and they could not be given away, as they might get into trouble.
, she didn’t bring anything with her.
Fine cloth, precious health-preserving medicinal materials, and various medicines in the palace are all used to nurse the old lady's health.
Dongzhu necklace, jasper bracelet, gold headpiece, this is for Mrs. Lin.
A pair of chess pieces carved from black jade and white jade was given to my uncle.
Calligraphy and painting, ancient books, famous books, these are for my cousin.
The gift given to Wu Yu is very special. It is a riding costume carefully made by an embroiderer in Beijing. It is very gorgeous. It will definitely make you look heroic in it, and a dagger that can cut iron like clay.
Sure enough, this gift won Wu Yu's heart so much that he couldn't even refuse it. He hugged it and refused to let go, and then it was confiscated the next moment.
The reason is very strong. She is pregnant with a child and cannot make trouble. We will talk about it later.
Wu Yu felt aggrieved, but everyone laughed without sympathy.
Ye Wanwan didn't expect that she was actually pregnant, but it would come in handy after the baby was born.
In addition to the few people here, Ye Wanwan, the two married cousins of the Lin family, also prepared gifts.
Every servant in the Lin family packed a bag with copper coins, one for each person.
The Lin family's cousin must not embarrass the Lin family, right?
Not only that, Ye Wanwan also prepared two boxes of gold. Without revealing the money, she sent them to her uncle Lin Jun's study along with the calligraphy and paintings.
Originally I just wanted to give some gold to subsidize the Lin family, but now that the Lin family is raising so many orphans, I suddenly feel that my decision was the right one.
Of course, sending these is secondary, the most important thing is that Ye Wanwan brought someone to the old lady.
The imperial physician Hu Zhang was originally here to treat Ye Wanwan, but he was immediately taken away by Ye Wanwan and brought along with him, just in time to treat the old lady.
The things Ye Wanwan brought were valuable enough, but what was even more valuable was her sincerity. As she said, she came back just to visit the old lady.
The old lady smiled with tears in her eyes: "Good boy, now that you are here, my disease will be cured. It is better than any panacea."
Dr. Hu showed the old lady that it was normal for her to be weak. She was well taken care of. She didn't have any serious illness. She shouldn't take a lot of supplements. She could just take some warm tonics to recuperate her body.
I showed it to the old lady, and asked Wu Yu for a safe pulse. Although it didn't seem like there was anything wrong with her, it didn't hurt to take a look.
After waiting for a while, it was getting late, so I sent the old lady to rest first, and everyone else went back to their rooms. However, when Ye Wanwan was halfway there, she was called by Lin Jun to go to his study.
"Wanwan, tell your uncle the truth, have you been wronged in Beijing?"
Ye Wanwan was stunned by this sentence: "Why does uncle ask that?"
Lin Jun looked at her worriedly: "Girl, don't imitate your mother, who reports good news but not bad news. If you are wronged in any way, you must tell your uncle. Although your uncle's ability is limited, he will try his best to help you.
"
Ye Wanwan was moved when she heard this: "Thank you uncle, but I'm really fine. I asked my sister-in-law to find help for me before. I just wanted to have two maids who know Kung Fu."
Lin Jun was doubtful: "What about Shaoyang? Why didn't he send you with him?"
Ye Wanwan was very helpless: "He was scolded by his father, so he went to seek apprenticeship with the Marquis of Xinyang in anger, and he is still in Minzhou."
"Lord Marquis Liang?" Lin Jun obviously knew him and nodded: "That's true. Marquis Liang is a god in military warfare and is both civil and military. If Shao Yang can become a disciple of Marquis Liang, he will definitely achieve great things."
Ye Wanwan didn't want to mention the matter in Beijing to Lin Jun, but there was something she had to tell him.
"Uncle, when I came here, I met the daughter-in-law of the Mu family in Rongzhou. She was the one who was engaged to my brother. Because I didn't recognize her for a moment, there was a misunderstanding. She was at a disadvantage and she was set on fire in the middle of the night by me.
After going to the Yamen, the next day it was the Prince of Sichuan who came to ask questions in person."
"I heard that the Princess of Sichuan seems to want her to be her daughter-in-law. I don't know if there will be any further complications in this matter. I have nothing to fear when I go to Beijing. I'm just afraid that my uncle will be implicated. I ask my uncle to pay more attention."
Lin Jun nodded: "I understand, but this is related to Shaoyang's marriage. Do you want to send someone to Mu Mansion?"
Ye Wanwan shook her head: "That's not necessary. This marriage will most likely not happen."
Seeing Lin Jun's confusion, Ye Wanwan said bluntly: "Mu Ling is not a good match. This marriage will not happen. Even if my father tries his best to arrange it, I will not agree. The specific reasons are difficult to explain in detail. My uncle will understand it in the future."
Lin Jun looked at Ye Wanwan and was very pleased: "You little girl is more independent-minded than your mother. This is good. You won't be bullied when you go to the palace."
Hearing these words, Ye Wanwan felt sad. There was no way she would be bullied. She was bullied to death, but she wouldn't be bullied this time.
Life in the Lin family was actually very good. I got up in the morning and went to see the old lady, have a meal with her, and then walked with the old lady. When the old lady was tired, Wu Yu came again and took Ye Wanwan to walk around the yard.
Then he wanted to accompany her out, but she was stopped and not allowed to go out.
Wu Yu was very angry: "I am going out with my cousin, why don't I let my cousin go out?"
Ye Wanwan: I just told her not to let her go out, okay? She has a big belly, and she has no idea at all.
Ye Wanwan didn't have to go out. When she was away from home, the more low-key the better.
When Wu Yu saw that he couldn't go out, he took Ye Wanwan to watch the children practice martial arts.
A dozen children were led by an old man in his sixties to practice boxing, and they performed well and vigorously.
