Chapter 302

Because Zhang Mantun didn't miss power at all, when he resigned from office, he was very straightforward, and when he handed over the power in his hand, he almost grinned.

Last night, although the daughter-in-law lost her temper with him, she heard that the emperor had given him permission to resign and return home, so the daughter-in-law kindly rewarded him.Thinking of his daughter-in-law's tender little hands and her delicate face, he wished he could leave all the official seals and military power behind and run back to accompany his wife.

After the handover was completed, Zhang Mandun couldn't bear to greet those colleagues, let alone socialize.As for those who regretted on the surface and laughed at his ignorance of current affairs in private, they were no longer in Zhang Mandun's eyes.

Before leaving the military department, Liu Zi and Zhu Neng also hurried over. Seeing that his eldest brother was determined to go back to Taoshuwan, Liu Zi stared and wanted to resign on the spot.Fortunately, when Zhang Mantun scolded him with a cold face, he could still listen to him, otherwise he would have caused a lot of trouble.

"You are old and young, how can you be so frizzy all the time. I went back to my hometown because of my wife, so what's the matter with you? Besides, Zhaodi managed to live a good life with you, Could it be that you are willing to let her go back to the countryside with you to work?"

"But big brother." Liu Zi wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhu Neng looked funny from the sidelines, what the eldest brother said was really high-sounding, even he himself was not willing to stay in the nest of wealth, but he was afraid that his six sons would regret it in the future because of impulsiveness.

"Okay, you just stay here, maybe I will have to take care of you when I come to the capital in the future." After speaking, Zhang Mandun took Huang Li and left.Of course, in a place where no one can see, he doesn't have any reluctance or frustration, he is simply very high-spirited and happy.

Xu Shi Huang Li also opened his mind, and when he was free, he asked Lin Baozhu to marry Chunxi.Originally, the two of them had been in the same mind for a long time, and almost no one in the house didn't know it, so Lin Baozhu didn't make it difficult for Huang Li, deliberately teased the two red-faced people with Xiang Ming for a while, and then agreed.

She had already prepared the dowry of several maidservants, as well as the deed of sale and the documents for ex-slavery, which were all completed when her husband still had a place in the court.In fact, to be honest, it is not a simple matter to remove people from slavery. After all, the so-called slavery refers to slaves and handmaids from generation to generation, even if there are descendants and descendants.

It's just that those rules are nothing in front of the emperor/favor/subject.Lin Baozhu also calculated those matters in the officialdom, so she asked her man to give up her slave status to a few maids early on.

In fact, if Xiuli hadn't been greedy for wealth and forgotten her original intention at the beginning, she would be able to be free after the Chinese New Year.It's a pity that a mistake made her take a wrong step.
Anyway, it is impossible for Lin Baozhu to make a fuss about the marriage between Huang Li and Chunxi, so in the end, a few tables were simply set up in the mansion, and then Lin Baozhu added more months to the people in the mansion to congratulate them. money.After being so lively for a long time, Huang Li and Chun Xi were considered to be married.

However, the two of them also had a conscience, and even though it was the time when they were in love with each other, they did not forget to come to kowtow to Zhang Mandun and Lin Baozhu early the next morning.Originally, Lin Baozhu wanted to give the two of them a few days off, but he didn't want them to wave their hands again and again, and then continue to serve as usual.

After finishing the business, before leaving, because of Lin Baozhu, the head of Taoxi County, Yipin ordered his wife to enter the palace to bid farewell to the empress empress, the empress dowager and others.Of course, when entering the palace this time, it is necessary to bring a pair of children.

Back then, when the story of Jinruo was widely circulated and was ridiculed, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager sent orders many times to praise Lin Baozhu for being a good teacher, and named Zhang Jinruo for being generous and courteous. Hui quality, beautiful appearance and wisdom, very noble lady demeanor.In this way, even if there are still people whispering in the court, they no longer dare to blatantly point and point at Lin Baozhu and Zhang Mantun.

Lin Baozhu knew in her heart that the Empress Dowager wanted to come to help because of her grandmother's relationship.But no matter what the reason is, Jin Ruo should kowtow in person.

When I left the capital this time, I really did not travel lightly.After all, after two or three years of operation, there are still a group of maids and servants, and there are many things sent by Princess Chenyue, as well as things bought by Xiu Niang's sister-in-law and Liu Zi, etc. Just saluting is worth seven or eight people. car;

In addition, the accompanying servants also took four carriages.What followed were rewards from the palace, and gifts from colleagues who had a close relationship with Zhang Mandun.

Because Zhang Mantun resigned from office, but the title of Duke Huguo is hereditary Duke, so the Duke Huguo's mansion was not taken back.Otherwise, I am afraid that those furniture will occupy a few more carriages.

On the way back to the hometown, everyone did not hurry, even if they were concerned about Lin Baozhu's body, it was also for the convenience of playing.

When a group of people visited Anxia Village, they heard a good thing. It was said that a wandering doctor and his wife gave free medical consultations to poor people every day.If the family is better, just give the money and a small amount of medical fees. If the family is poor and unable to pay, they will not take any money.Moreover, it seems that those herbs were picked by the husband and wife in person.

For such good deeds, Lin Baozhu has always been generous in funding, so before leaving, she was led to the thatched cottage where the couple stayed.However, what she saw was that she was originally pretty, fair-skinned and beautiful, but now she was only wearing coarse cloth clothes, and the beaded flowers on her hair were replaced by simple and rough wooden hairpins.It's just that, unlike others who are down and out, although she has lived a poor life, she has a bit more gentle and virtuous temperament.

Lin Baozhu didn't go forward any more, just looked at the mansion doctor and Xiuli from a distance, smiled at each other, and then got busy.One earnestly diagnoses the pulse, the other carefully helps people take medicine, and when encountering children, Xiuli will softly comfort her.

Such days are plain and warm.

"Madam, do you want to go over and say a few words?" Xiang Ming was also filled with emotion, seeing Madam silent, she couldn't help asking.

Lin Baozhu shook her head and said with a smile, "I won't go, they are doing very well and shouldn't be disturbed anymore. After all, Xiuli didn't do anything to hurt me."

Later, she also thought that if it wasn't for Xiuli who had some conscience, she might not only have ripples in her heart towards her own man.Xu Zhenhui responded to the rumors outside and attacked her and the child.After all, at that time, she had never been wary of beauty.

Now that things have passed, and everyone has their own lives, why bother about those?

And just as Lin Baozhu led the people away, Xiuli looked up with a feeling, but only saw the roof of a gorgeous carriage.Her eyes dimmed, and she shook her head with a smile, what was she still thinking, Madam let her go kindly, could it be possible that she still extravagantly begged Madam's forgiveness?

The following days lived peacefully and comfortably, and because Lin Baozhu didn't have to suffer and worry in the capital, her mood improved day by day.In the same way, Jinruo, who was thinking about it, cherished the days with her mother more and more.

Xu Shi was in a happy mood, and Lin Baozhu, who had been lazy for a long time and didn't want to spoil herself, also wanted to compete with the beauty of the scenery.On a rare occasion, she asked Xiang Ming to find a pink long dress, and then personally gesticulated and asked the embroiderer to help change it into a maternity dress. She only received a few stitches below the chest, but the abdomen was very loose and comfortable.

Underneath is the pleated skirt, which doesn't look too fancy, but a slight movement can bring a cool breeze, as delicate and beautiful as a peach blossom.

It was originally a thin summer dress, light and pretty, and with the addition of Lin Baozhu's more obvious gentle temperament after she became pregnant, just looking at it made people's hearts sway.

When Zhang Mandun saw it for the first time, his bull's eyes almost lost sight of him, and he felt itchy and flattered in his heart, and after that, he even courted his daughter-in-law graciously.His daughter-in-law was just so pretty, he couldn't take his eyes off her for a moment.

So, a person who wants to make himself look better, and a person who is a wife and slave, get together, can't they start a shameless and seductive life again?
By the time the group of them returned to Taoshuwan, it was already the end of July, when people were getting hotter and more lazy.At this time, it was the time when tens of acres of lotus bloomed in the river beach, which really made Lin Baozhu, who was about to give birth, very happy.

In this way, after eating every day, no matter in the morning or evening, Zhang Mandun patiently accompanied his wife to the river beach for a stroll.Occasionally, when I get up, I will learn the appearance in those scriptures and pick a lotus for my daughter-in-law to make her happy.

They had a smooth life, and it was time for Liu Manwen to finish handling the business of the shop and return to Taoshuwan happily.And Lin Baozhu, who got the news, didn't wait anymore, and took someone to Liu's house to find Meiying's sister-in-law after searching for a day.

Now every household in Taoshuwan has a new house, and because of the large lotus planted in the river beach, it is very gratifying. Basically, there will be one or two plants planted in a large water tank in the yard of every house, and it has really become a Taoshuwan area. landscape.

As soon as Lin Baozhu left the house, the folks coming and going in the village came forward one after another with a smile and said hello.They were really looking forward to the return of Baozhu's daughter, as if when she came back, the whole village would have a backbone and hope.

Surrounded by the big guys enthusiastically talking about the festive events of each family, Lin Baozhu felt as if her life had a taste again.This is the scene she likes, simple and warm, and treat each other sincerely, instead of forming gangs and plotting every day, each with their own little thoughts.

"Auntie, I heard that all the benches have passed the examination of scholar? That's a happy event, and it's a fight for face in Taoshuwan." Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Lin Baozhu naturally wouldn't put her madam's arrogance on her shoulders, and smiled. Talk to Mrs. Ueda next to me.
