Returning the Way (3o)

No matter how big the family is, I have never had an experience in contact with these very slender and dense tentacles of the outermost tentacles of the family. Now, when I was the Fourth Prince, the parents' families like the Song family, including the seven aunts and aunts of her family, even the relatives of the seven aunts and aunts, and even the seven aunts and aunts. In the eyes of many ordinary people, they are all related to the royal family and the Fourth Prince's family. But if I ask the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Prince, do they know that there are so many relatives in the family? Do so many people regard themselves as their relatives outside? At that time, they can't know that they are nothing to do. Who cares about these trivial matters? These things are not within the scope of consideration at all, let alone contact them.

But now, maybe I am on the edge of a big family, but what I touched is all these far-reaching families, but when I talked about it, they all think they are relatives.

For example, Jia Yun’s uncle is said to be the Jia family’s in-laws. No one dares to say that it is not.

For example, the Zhang family in front of me is actually the sister of You Erjie's fiancé. In terms of in-laws, is it far away? Not far away. From my own perspective, he is still a cousin of the Jia family. His serious cousin's wife.

When Zhang said what kind of relationship was, Lin Yutong knew who was who.

When he knew who was who, he couldn't help but ponder again. The character Zhang Hua was a little man. But Lin Yutong had a bad impression of this person. First, he lost his family business by eating, drinking, whore and gambling, and was kicked out of the house by his father. The You family gave up the marriage for ten taels of silver. Second, he was bribed by Wang Xifeng and fought the lawsuit.

But now Zhang also says that the two families are in-laws, which means that the marriage has not yet been retired.

Is it difficult to get married?

After saying too much, Zhang smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of you making fun of you. In fact, they may not recognize us. They also talk about quitting the marriage." A trace of anger flashed in her eyes, and tears followed: "My brother is not good, but they may not be too despicable..."

It was Zhang Hua who had sex with him in the game and got into a trap. He owed too much debt, so he gave Zhang Hua ten taels of silver.

Just imagine, this farmhouse family with a few acres of land can not be handled with ten taels of silver for their son and daughter. No matter how ineffective the Zhang family and the You family are, they will not be like the farmhouse family. When they were married to a baby, they wanted to have a richer family business, so why couldn’t they get a ten tael of silver for their hiring?

No wonder the Zhang family refused to agree later and just came to entangle. It turned out that there was such an inside story. If this were the case, many top ten people would be able to explain it again.

But this is someone else's business. Lin Yutong would not say much about the other side. The daughter of Qian's family next to her also pulled her mother's sleeve and stopped talking.

Zhang then calmed down and said, "Look at me, what are you talking about?" So he stayed Lin Yutong enthusiastically for a meal.

Lin Yutong did not keep much because her child was at home. She only kept all kinds of gifts, so she stood up and said goodbye.

When the person left, the Qian girl blamed Zhang: "What did you say about this? It's not a big deal yet, and she's doing this for my uncle's family. Didn't my father say that he told me not to worry about this matter. We don't know how difficult our own lives are..."

Zhang's lips moved: "Isn't this not controlling his mouth?" As he said that, he went to see the gift. He saw that it was something that could be used at home. There were fifty taels of silver red seals, several pieces that were not top-notch, but they would not be underestimated when worn. I think this was a gift for her family to cut clothes.

She also regretted it a little: "So, I said what those people do. What they didn't mean to dislike them, and I think we asked them to do things."

Lin Yutong, when the Fourth Master came back, said to the relatives of this family, "I went around and got involved with the You family again. It was Jia Zhen and the others who ordered someone to make a trap..."

"Flies don't bite seamless eggs." The Fourth Master said, "Don't worry. If he keeps himself upright, how could he easily get into the trap?"

It used to be nothing, but now it's five-pointer, but if you care about everything, you really don't have to do anything.

In fact, there are two most important things this year. For the family, it is naturally the most important thing in the imperial village. By June, when the rice comes down, you will know whether it is universally popular. For the court, most people believe that the queen's belly is a first-class event.

But the queen, since her belly bulges, there have been fewer people she sees.

Unfortunately, Lin Yutong is one of the common queens.

Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, now they must enter the palace every month. They just go in and see Yuanchun. Now Yuanchun is not the same as before. After the Supreme Emperor moved out, Emperor Zhenglong naturally occupied the palace. This occupation is many aspects, including filling the huge harem. Yuanchun has his own palace, and entering the palace with his mother and Mrs. Wang became a major event every month.

Lin Yutong heard that Jia Mu also handed over the sign to the queen, but the others didn't accept her sign at all.

Lin Yutong felt particularly embarrassed when she knew about this. The queen was pregnant, and everyone knew that she was not seeing anyone now. Especially if you are not the wife or mother of an important minister, you are just the grandmother of a concubine. How can the queen meet you? Besides, according to the agenda, you handed over the sign to see the concubine is an application for introspection, and the queen is sure. Even if you kowtow to the queen outside, even if everyone saw the queen, she would be exhausted in one day and would not be able to finish these jobs. Lin Yutong, who knew the pain, thought from the other side of the situation and knew that the queen hated such people who were not self-aware the most.

When Jia Mu returned, she probably thought about it: "...It's not as good as before. When the old Duke was alive..."

Of course, the old Duke was different when he was alive. What kind of treatment Lin Yutong is now, and what kind of treatment she was also at that time. After comparing the past and the next, I naturally felt uncomfortable.

Anyway, for several months, every time I came back from the palace, I got a minor illness. Every time I got sick, I would hit someone to ask for things, and the things were not expensive, just things like fruit dew. This thing was either really lacking, but she was just passing the message: I am sick, come and see me quickly.

Lin Yutong won’t go!

She was not feeling uncomfortable, she felt uncomfortable. She might have any requests after she went there.

Anyway, every time I ask someone who sends someone, I say, "What's wrong with the old lady? I didn't ask the imperial physician to take a good look. Have you identified the disease?"

The girl sent by someone said, "There is no illness. It's just that I'm old and I'm tired after entering the palace."

Since I was tired, I wouldn't go to the door. Otherwise, the old lady would have to support me, let alone get tired? Then she asked someone to pack up her medicinal materials and other items and beat the maid at home to send it. The matter was over.

Maybe Lin Yutong was too unreasonable, but the weather was hot this day and the Fourth Master was not at home. The rice was about to mature, so he and Yu Liang were both busy. Shao Hua happened to bring Brother Yi over again.

Shao Hua's stomach is now getting up, showing some concern. He is afraid of heat. This is not because Young Mother's husband's Zhang family urges her to get married. Urging her to get married is also respect for the woman, not that she will get married immediately. The Fourth Master and Lin Yutong mean that Young Mother can get married next year and after the hairpin. At least she has to wait until the second half of next year.

Even in the second half of the year, this small dowry should be prepared.

Originally, I had to discuss it with Qi, but Qi rarely went to the city at her parents' academy. Shao Hua happened to come over. She was afraid that Lin Yutong would have neglected it, so she came over to help me find out.

The two of them were talking on the couch outside, asking Liuli to remember what they thought of. The young lady was embarrassed to listen. The two children were taking a nap inside, and she was watching the children inside.

As a result, there was no time to say anything, and outside came to report quickly, saying that the old lady, the eldest lady and all the girls and grandmas were here.

Oh! I didn't even say hello in advance.

Lin Yutong frowned. When he went out to pick him up, he didn't look smiling. Instead, he said with a grudge: "The old lady is getting more casual now. I just said it was uncomfortable two days ago. I didn't dare to disturb you. Just now my sister-in-law said she would like to take you my wish. I said forget it. Now that the head is long and the night is short, you have to take a few sleeps during the day. Then I asked us to disturb you. I only hit people and sent you the peaches that I just came down today. Could it be that the people who went there have not arrived yet?"

Wang Xifeng put it aside and smiled: "It's just that it's here. After eating peaches, it tastes very good. The old lady is in a state of energy. She doesn't want to stay at home. So, she's going to come and no one can stop her."

"Please come inside, look at the sun is poisonous." Lin Yutong said, then helped the person inside.

The yard you live in is not good. There are main rooms and main halls for guests. They are all good places. When you welcome people in, you will also serve with various fruits and yogurt. "Try them all, let's see how good it tastes?"

Mrs. Wang nodded: "The taste is light, it's good for me to taste it."

The bowls are sweet white porcelain, and they are all made with good shapes, which look more exquisite than the gold, jade and glass.

Mrs. Xing, who rarely goes out to visit, is so fond of love with the bowl: "It's hard to get such a thing."

"It's not worth it to ask someone to give me a set to my aunt." It's the most troublesome thing to entertain guests, especially those who come uninvited. When you hit someone here and call a banquet outside, you have to find topics to greet him here. For example, Youshi and Li Wan, they pay more attention to Shao Hua's belly and talk about these topics to Shao Hua. Wang Xifeng felt uncomfortable when she saw someone's big belly, so she came forward and just served Mother Jia.

Sanchun followed him, and Baochai was also here. Young mother invited her to sit in the house. Sanchun followed him quickly, only Baochai was sitting here.

Yu Liu came with Aunt Xue. As soon as she came in, her eyes followed Lin Yutong, as if she had something to say, but Lin Yutong just couldn't see her. Aunt Xue looked at Yu Liu more than once, but she didn't stop her from having such persistent eyes.

Seeing Lin Yutong busy, Jia Mu pulled her to sit next to her: "My mothers in the family have nothing to do when they come out to visit her. Just have a home-cooked hospitality. Don't be busy. I haven't seen you for half a year, come and talk."

Lin Yutong thought to herself: Here it is!

Sure enough, I heard the lady Jia whisper: "I went to see the Empress a few days ago, and she was thinner than before. My wife and I were afraid that she would report good news but not bad news, and would not tell the truth to us. Instead, you often go to the palace and are sisters with her. You sisters are easier to talk to than us."

Lin Yutong laughed: "My old lady, just like us, there is no one or two things that make people uncomfortable one day? If you say that it is all good, it must be a coaxing thing. But if you say that there is something wrong with it, it may not be. Left is just those things. Things in the palace... others don't know, but you know..."

Aunt Xue suddenly said, "I heard that Concubine Zhou's family sent a girl to the palace to serve their empress. I wonder if this is true?"

Her information is quite well-informed.

After all, the Xue family often deals with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the news is more sensitive than elsewhere.

This is true. The empress of the Zhou family... was pregnant and found a girl from her family to go in... In fact, she was a favorite. Lin Yutong really knew about this. The nanny next to the queen told her quietly and asked her to ask her to get her to know Empress Kuan Jie.

The queen was very open about this: "Stop talking about the queen, even in the palace, I was not the same person, I was not clean and could not serve him anymore. There were also people who served the neat girls one or two times. If I were angry about this, I would be so angry that I could sit in my current seat?"

Lin Yutong sighed: "Yes! You have to pay a price for anything you do." It is not easy to sit firmly in the position of queen.

The queen also smiled: "It's not scary to have too many women in the palace. What's scary is that the emperor can be favored by someone, which is really a bad thing."

That's the reason! So, in the queen's opinion, the situation is not bad.

Now everyone knows what Concubine Zhou is doing. But Concubine Zhou is different from Jia Yuanchun. Concubine Zhou’s family has long been used as Emperor Zhenglong and is an old minister in the Qiandi. Nowadays, upstarts, like Concubine Zhou, representing Emperor Zhenglong’s attitude towards one force. Therefore, if Concubine Zhou does nothing, if Jia Yuanchun does it, it is a taboo.

When Jia Mu came here today, she actually asked about the pregnancy of the queen and Concubine Zhou, but Aunt Xue turned the topic to the fact that Concubine Zhou could take someone in and serve him.

This is just two different things.

Lin Yutong only shook her head: "How can I use the palace affairs as a mouth?" She pushed Aunt Xue without being soft or hard, then patted Jia Mu's hand and said in a voice that two or three people could hear: "...You and your wife should not be anxious. If you are anxious, you will naturally call the Empress even more anxious. At this time, you have to be more stable. If others are born, they should be called others to have children. We just do our own things. Don't even know if they are born or princess, but even if they are born, the little prince will grow into the eldest prince, how long will it take to grow up to be.

Later, not to mention that after growing up... it was even more certain. Not to mention anything else, just say that Prince Yizhong has been the prince for nearly 30 years. What is the result? The variables are so big, why are you staring at these things? Instead, it has caused taboos." She whispered: "If you care about the Empress, go and see it occasionally when the weather is good. After all, you are old. After all, after all, you are so troubled, will the Empress not worry? The Empress would think in her heart that it was because of her own reasons that my grandmother was affected and she couldn't get over it."

The previous words make sense. They are bold, but it is precisely because of their boldness that no one dares to say that people feel more credible.

The previous dissatisfaction was completely invisible because of these "heart-to-heart" words.

Jia Mu grabbed Lin Yutong's hand, "It's just you, a child, who dares to say these words."

Mrs. Wang was also happy. The previous words made sense, and the latter words were beneficial to Mrs. Wang. She didn't want to follow the old lady every time she entered the palace. The mother and daughter wanted to say some private words, but because the old lady was there, she never found a chance.

So he hurriedly said, "I said, this child must not be separated from us."

Lin Yutong said, "Where did you say it? How could you get divorced?" She said one by one: "The Queen of the Great Former Queen called, and Princess Zhongshun called again. The princess in the mansion was old and prepared for the dowry. Before, the Qian uncle went to Beijing with his family. There were two old people from the in-laws and Qi family on their birthdays. The Zhang family rushed to urge the marriage and was discussing the dowry with his sister-in-law... The family business is not big, and there are many things. It is not as many people as the mansion, and there are many helpers. Even if this grandma is not here today, it must be the promise of another grandma. I have no one else except me."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "This is the disadvantage of the brothers' early separation."

Lin Yutong laughed: "It's just that there is no separation, and no one helps me. My brother and sister are with Brother Ying, and they are still in the academy most of the time."

Mrs. Xing said, "She is a lucky person. She has no mother-in-law to serve and no troublesome sister-in-law. She is the most lucky person." As she said, her tone was a little envious.

This is said to Lin Yutong suddenly become difficult to answer. Is there anyone who says this? The person who says it is unintentional, but the person who listens is intentional. I envy those who have no mother-in-law to serve and have no trouble with sister-in-law. Isn’t it just that he doesn’t want to serve the mother-in-law Jia, and is Mrs. Wang a little upset?

Although this is all about the truth, the truth is not good!

After saying this, everyone was silent. Not only Lin Yutong didn't know how to answer, but others didn't know how to keep this topic for her.

On the contrary, Baoyu took a stack of things from the table on one side: "Sister Tong, what is this?"

Lin Yutong glanced at it and found that it was a literacy card made for Brother Yun. There were some paintings on it to help the child remember it. When she asked, she said, "...Why did this kid leave this thing here?"

Baoyu looked at Lin Yutong in surprise: "Sister Tong can write books now."

This is not writing a book, it is...

Just as I was about to explain, I saw that the things on this card were a little different from what she wrote before.

The front is the picture and the characters, but the back is written with comments, just like a dictionary, which interprets the character.

Xue Baochai also looked over and said, "It turns out that it is easy to understand, and it is more suitable for young children than Sanhung Qian."

Lin Yutong smiled: "The front is what I used to enlighten my child, and the back is what the child's father took the time to make up for it. I don't have that ability."

Seeing that Baoyu was very much in agreement with this approach, she was happy and said, "Tong Yatou really puts her mind into raising children. This is exactly the same as the Empress. When the Empress was at home, she also hugged Baoyu and taught him to read. Now every time she enters the palace, she always asks me, is Baoyu good enough to study? I don't know how to answer."

As he said that, he carefully looked at the expression on Mu Jia's face.

Jia Mu didn't say anything, but went to see Baoyu. When he saw him flipping through the cards, he didn't say anything beside him, and his nose felt sore, "Look at me, I don't know what you plan to do, I can't stand my love for Baoyu... Forget it! You are the parents of the children, so you have the final say. But only one thing, if I force my Baoyu out of illness again, I won't follow it."
To be continued...
