Yan Yan Yugui

Chapter 229 Calligraphy
After stepping over the brazier, he took a bath with grapefruit leaves.

Lin Yanyan was so comfortable soaking in the hot water that she wanted to doze off.

Tan Yun added water to the side, and talked about what happened in the mansion recently: "Miss, the second lady was let go by the second son."

Lin Yanyan opened her eyes suddenly: "Run away? Didn't find it?"

"The second master didn't dare to look for it with great fanfare. The Yao family insisted that the second wife had never returned to the Yao family. The third master and the eldest son came to the door, and the Yao family asked in turn. Anyway, more than half a month has passed. No one was born, no dead body was seen. The second master was so angry that he punished the second son to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days."

Lin Yanyan said: "Where can Second Madam go after leaving Hou's Mansion? She must go back to Yao's house, maybe she is locked up by Yao's house now."

"No way, how can the second lady be the daughter of Yao's family, and almost emptied the Hou's mansion to subsidize Yao's family, Yao's family would treat her so cruelly?" Tan Yun couldn't believe it.

Lin Yanyan snorted and sneered. The Yao family's eyes are all focused on money. They recognize the money but not the owner. The Yao family still has 100 million taels of usury in the hands of the second master of the Yao family. Ten thousand taels, can the Yao family give it to her?If you don't give it and you are afraid of Yao's publicity, then you can only lock Yao up. The third uncle and the first cousin are guilty, and they are bitten by the Yao family, and they are immediately persuaded. No one can be found.

"Tan Yun, don't underestimate the ugliness of human nature. People die for money and birds die for food." Lin Yanyan said slowly.

When Lin Yanyan tidied up and came out, it was already an hour later.

The third aunt and grandmother both sent people to inquire, and knowing that she was about to enter the palace, they said that they would go to the Charity Hall to talk after she came back.

The emperor summoned Lin Yanyan in Zichen Palace.

"Yanyan, you have done a great job this time. Tell yourself, what reward do you want?" The emperor looked at Lin Yanyan with a smile.

Lin Yanyan said modestly: "Your Majesty, I really didn't do anything, it's all due to the hard work of my teacher and the Tenth Highness, I dare not take credit for it."

"You don't need to be humble, I will also remember your master's merits, I will ask you now, if you keep being humble, you will miss it!"

Lin Yanyan rolled her eyes, and said jokingly, "Your Majesty has the guts to ask your Majesty for a few words."

The emperor: "So simple?"

"Your Majesty, this is not easy. My ministers have long heard of His Majesty's silver hook and iron paintings, which are as magnificent as a rainbow. There are discussions among literati, saying that Your Majesty is a great master of calligraphy, and His Majesty does not easily give inscriptions. If my ministers can ask for it Your Majesty's writing is worth it." Lin Yanyan said.

The emperor laughed heartily: "You sycophant."

Lin Yanyan didn't feel embarrassed at being called a sycophant by the emperor. No matter how many people in the world wanted to flatter the emperor, they couldn't do it!
"Tell me, what do you want Gu to write to you?"

Lin Yanyan smiled and said, "Just write the words 'Tongyuan Building'."

The emperor was startled, then laughed: "You are not only a sycophant, but also a businessman, that's all, I will depend on you alone."

The emperor ordered Cao Quan to take care of the pen and ink, Lin Yanyan hurried forward and said courteously: "I will help your majesty to study ink."

Seeking the emperor's calligraphy, Lin Yanyan kowtowed again and again as if she had found a treasure.

The emperor was in a good mood, and said: "This word is an extra gift for you, let Jing Yuan enter the palace tomorrow."

This kid is so smart, he has made such a great achievement, and he only asked him for three words when he said it, but once these three words are posted, it is a golden signboard bestowed by the emperor, which can be passed down from generation to generation and will never be defeated.Even the negative impact caused by the outbreak of the epidemic in Tongyuan Building will be wiped away by these three words.

Moreover, it also made him feel that such a reward is too shabby, but she is already the princess, and she can't be promoted any further. If she is promoted, she will be a princess. To Jing Yuan.

Originally, he planned to let Jing Yuan inherit the title of Marquis of Ding'an after Jing Yuan's weak crown, so why not cash it out earlier!
When Lin Yanyan heard that the emperor wanted to summon Jing Yuan, she could roughly guess what the emperor meant, and immediately smiled and said: "My lady, thank you, the emperor, for your kindness."

Xiao Qian waited outside the hall, and seeing her smiling, he asked, "What did Emperor Father reward you?"

Lin Yanyan said mysteriously: "You will know soon."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has summoned you." Cao Quan came out to deliver a message.

Lin Yanyan said: "Your father told you, hurry up, I'm going to the Palace of Compassion."

"Then I'll come find you later."

"No need, you are busy with your work, I may stay in the Compassionate Ning Palace a little longer."

It was already evening when Lin Yanyan came out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and when she got home, she went directly to the Hall of Mercy.

The old lady just had dinner, so Lin Yanyan stayed to eat together.

"Yanyan, you have been in the palace for half a day, what did the emperor tell you?"

Lin Yanyan smiled gently: "Grandmother, the emperor just asked about the situation of Tongyuan Building. After all, Tongyuan Building is the only one in all the isolation points in the capital that has no dead people. After that, I went to talk with the Queen Mother for a long time. The Queen Mother originally wanted to keep me. Having dinner in the palace, I thought that I had been quarantined for more than a month, and finally came out, and I hadn’t seen my grandmother yet, so I hurried back.”

The old lady smiled and said: "You also know that grandma is worried about you!"

"Of course, I'm your eldest granddaughter. You must be worried about me. I'm also worried about my family in Tongyuan Building. If I can't get out, I can't help it."

The old lady smiled and sighed: "You escaped a catastrophe this time, and if you survive the catastrophe, you will have good fortune."

Lin Zhenzhen felt sour in her heart: "Sister, I heard that the epidemic in the Tongyuan Building has spread to several guests, and some of them died! Do you think they will come to settle accounts with you?"

Wei Yuewan lightly touched Lin Zhenzhen's foot under the table.

Why not open which pot and which pot to lift?Zhen Zhen just can't see Yan Yan being favored by the emperor and queen mother.

Lin Yanyan said slowly: "The debt must be settled, but you shouldn't ask me for the calculation of the Tongyuan House. If you have a wrong, you have a debt!"

"Sister, I don't understand what you said. The epidemic was spread from the Tongyuan Building. If you don't ask the Tongyuan Building, who will count?"

"It won't take long for you to know." Lin Yanyan deliberately half-spoken, not satisfying Lin Zhenzhen's curiosity.

"By the way, grandma, I heard that my second aunt ran away?" Lin Yanyan changed the subject.

Lin Zhenzhen's expression changed, she was annoyed to hear about her mother.

Wei Yuewan ate in silence, and said in her heart: I told you not to talk too much, it's all right now, if you want to see other people's jokes, you have to be laughed at first.

The old lady's smile also gradually disappeared, Yao's disappearance has become a heart problem for her.

"Yeah, I ran away, and I don't know where I went."

Lin Yanyan pretended to be worried: "Didn't you go back to Yao's house?"

The old lady shook her head.

"That's troublesome. I heard that my second aunt is seriously ill here." Lin Yanyan pointed to her head.

"Now that it's so chaotic outside, how can she make a living as a delirious and penniless person? Or, I'll go back and talk to His Highness the Tenth Prince, and ask the government to help find someone."

The old lady hurriedly said: "Forget it, just run away, if life can't go on, she will come back naturally."

She dared not let the government know that the second daughter-in-law had run away, and it would be a big joke for the Hou Mansion if it got out.
