Chapter 347: Proud of the Spring Breeze (Two updates combined into one, please vote for me)

  newlyweds have three days off.

The holidays are over, but Xu Jian still has to get up early to go to court.

When he got up, Lin Yunyan was still asleep.

Xu Jian didn't want to disturb her, so she wiped her face lightly and went to the study to do the rest.

Wanyue poured out the water for washing her face, and splashed the still warm water on the cold floor tiles, creating a cloud of white mist.

Mama Ma glanced into the room and asked softly: "The princess is not awake?"

"No," Wan Yue shook her head, "The princess doesn't get up that early."

Mama Ma patted Wan Yue, neither laughing nor spitting.

  Originally is the original.

Uncle Chengyi’s house talks about rules, but it’s not just about rules.

The rituals are all over, and the big head is grasped very firmly. Who does not know that this is the most polite family? But there are still many easy-going places in Xiaotou. I heard that it was like this when the previous generations were alive. This is home. How boring is it if the whole family can't relax and be at ease at home?

 The old lady also passed down the family inheritance in this way.

 When it is time to observe order, it is not too late to decide when to study and see your husband.

 When it’s time to relax, it’s okay to sleep until three o’clock in the morning. At most, you can jokingly say “I was a thief at night”.

 In the Zai Shou Yuan, greetings are only paid on the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month. It doesn't matter if you come on other days, or if you don't come, there is no need to rush. Of course, the family is harmonious and has a good temperament, so most of the time it is quite complete.

The princess does not get up too early in the palace, but she rarely stays late. However, the early time when the palace greets guests is far incomparable with the early time when the Duke of the country goes to court.

 “Did the Duke of the State say nothing?” Mother Ma asked Wan Yue.

Wan Yue thought about it and understood what she meant.

  Being married is not as comfortable as being in your mother's family, and the behavior of a daughter-in-law is naturally not as comfortable as that of a girl. Mother Ma feels sorry for the princess, but she is also afraid of hurting the harmony between the princess and the Duke in small things.

"As I said," Wan Yue said, "the Duke of the country asked me to be gentle so as not to disturb the princess."

Mama Ma burst into laughter.

also.

The young couple are willing to do it themselves, and she is a nun who will not offend others.

Who wants to be a thankless person all day long?

There are only so many people in the Duke Fu's Mansion, and Mrs. Xu obviously doesn't want to be an "evil mother-in-law", so there's nothing to worry about.

Having made up her mind, Mother Ma just pretended that it didn’t happen.

Wan Yue actually found it interesting. When Lin Yunyan got up, she murmured a few words to her: "Mammy was a little nervous, but she was happy when she heard that the Duke of Guo was still having fun."

Lin Yunyan couldn't help but smile.

Based on those rules, she would definitely have to get up after Xu Jian, or even get up earlier.

 But she and Xu Jian really don't need those pretentious things.

We have been living together for such a long time, and we know each other's habits and personalities well, so we really don't need to put much effort into them.

However, after getting married, she has nothing to do.

 The red envelopes are already prepared on the dressing table.

On the second day after the wedding, there was a break-up in the house. It was a red event and rewarded with silver, but it was different today. She would talk to the steward and the ladies later, and take over all the big and small matters. It was regarded as the new official taking office. of silver reward.

This is something Lin Yunyan is familiar with. She knows the personnel in the house and has an account of who is outstanding and who is loyal.

 Furthermore, the house has been in good order over the years, which shows the ability of the managers inside and outside, so she doesn’t need to bother to start things over again.

In this room, Lin Yunyan was talking to Lin Ju. In the other room, in the Jinluan Palace, Eunuch Cao announced his "retreat from the court."

The Holy Father got down from his throne and strode out.

Li Shao followed him, pursed his lips tightly, and looked expressionless, but anyone who knew him well could see that His Highness the Crown Prince was very excited at the moment.

He was even excited. The hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists, and his nails were dug into the palms of his hands to prevent his true emotions from being revealed. He could still maintain a calm appearance.

 But his face was flushed, especially his neck, which was so red that his emotions were completely revealed.

Just now, the Holy Father mentioned something in the court meeting, asking him to go back to the six departments to observe the government from tomorrow. He also said that there should be a beginning and an end, so it is better to start with the Ministry of Rites.

Li Shao was not very comfortable with that "beginning and end". At that time, he was suspended from the Ministry of Rites to observe politics, which was not his own wish.

Although he is not enthusiastic about the step-by-step approach to government, with one pile of documents after another.

But Li Shao himself also knew that as a prince, it was normal for him to watch the government. Sooner or later, he would have to reincarnate. Moreover, the little throne was indeed comfortable, but after going down to the court, he followed his father and the three orphans, wandering around. There were so many places in the previous dynasty, and it became boring after a long time.

 Looking at politics is different.

　　It is not up to him to decide what he will do after going to the Qianbu Corridor for a day?

He wanted to go out for a drink, listen to music, and joke with a beauty. At such a vigorous age, it was not like he had never eaten meat before. After holding it in for a long time, he wanted to relax. How normal.

However, what really excited Li Shao was "Xu Jian didn't follow."

 Xu Jian is still recovering from his leg injury and cannot follow him all day.

Of course, given how much his father valued Xu Jian, when Xu Jian's condition recovers next year, 80% of the time he will still be allowed to follow him. Li Shao would have no choice if he didn't want to.

In this way, a month of freedom cannot be wasted.

 In total, Li Shao actually heard some news about watching the government yesterday. Fang Shaofu mentioned it and heard that it was Xu Jian who suggested it to his father. However, his father did not let go, so Li Shao did not dare to believe it.

Today, my father clearly mentioned Guan Zheng, and Li Shao's heart fell to the ground. When he passed by Xu Jian, he glanced at him and felt that it was "quite pleasing to the eye".

why?

oh.

 Maybe it’s because I got married.

Although Ning An followed Xu Jian and found him a few times, Li Shao had been dealing with Ning An since he was a child. He knew that Ning An had a good temper, was sensible and well-behaved, and occasionally had a little temper, so being a younger sister was not annoying.

  Anyway, he is more lovable than the other brothers and sisters Li Shao has come into contact with.

　　I guess it was because of Ning An’s likability that Xu Jian looked more pleasing to the eye, right?

Sure enough, you still have to marry a wife, and marry a sensible wife. Even Xu Jian can change it, and it looks like she is very proud of herself.

Not only Li Shao felt that Xu Jian was proud of his success, but other officials also saw it.

 After the Holy Emperor and the Prince left, those who were familiar with him would naturally come up to say a few words to Xu Jian.

An Yibo patted Xu Jian on the shoulder: "Seeing that you are so energetic, I feel relieved."

Xu Jian smiled and said, "It's been hard work these days, uncle."

 An Yibo waved his hand.

He was fighting on the battlefield when he was young. In the past few years, he stayed in the capital and had not much to do. It was like being idle. It could be said that he was so idle that he felt uncomfortable all over. The Holy Spirit arranged these things for him, and his old bones finally felt comfortable.

Moreover, organizing a happy event is also a blessing. The more harmonious and intimate the couple is in the future, the more blessed he, the person who presides over the marriage, will be.

Such a good thing is hard to find even with a lantern. "Don't say it, I'm very happy anyway," An Yibo said, "I thought my old wife would be tired, but I didn't know she was more energetic than me. She enjoyed the fun and bustle, and now she doesn't want to be idle anymore. I've been thinking about it these past two days. I want to marry a few young ones and take care of things."

An Yibo had a loud voice, but he did not deliberately suppress it, so that the words lingered in the hall as soon as they came out, making many officials laugh.

“Don’t just laugh,” he said. “If there are any good girls or good boys of the same age as my family in the neighborhood, remember to set up a matchmaker. Red envelopes are indispensable.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he laughed again.

King Jin was also smiling. He walked closer with a smile and said, "I don't have children of this age. Otherwise, I really want to be my uncle's brother-in-law."

 Happy laughter.

 Well, it’s precisely because I don’t have any decent words that I can say it so straightforwardly.

As long as the King of Jin really has someone of the right age under his knees, the prince dares to say it, and An Yibo doesn't dare to accept it with such a laugh.

 The King of Jin said to Xu Jian again: "You look good."

 “Thanks to you.” Xu Jian said.

"You are really full of youth and energy," King Jin raised his eyebrows. "Compared with this, I am indeed getting older and not as good as before. I am a newlywed, and I have already decided to talk to others about my children's marriage."

An Yibo Le said: "In other words, it's still early for the prince's children to get married, but what I'm talking about are the grandchildren. I'm old, I'm old!"

The atmosphere in this room is quite warm, and some officials nearby are reluctant to come forward casually and just whisper a few words.

 "The Duke of Fu is indeed very proud of himself. It's a good thing to be a bridegroom."

“Hey, Master Taishan is still standing. The son-in-law must not languish.”

 “Yes, you have to show off.”

"That's the princess of Ning'an. Anyone who can marry her is going to be in trouble. There's no need to pretend to be satisfied. You must be satisfied from the bottom of your heart."

 Lin Yuan stood aside with his hands behind his back, talking to his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy. Although the comments were quiet, some of them fell into his ears.

Of course a father will be happy when others praise his daughter. A few days ago, Lin Yuan didn't show it on his face, but he was naturally proud in his heart.

 He is not a happy-go-lucky person, but when he praises his daughter, he still raises his tail a little.

His Yun Yan is really good, with first-class appearance, temperament, and good background, not to mention being pampered by the Empress Dowager. Others say that anyone who marries someone will be in trouble. This is absolutely true.

 But today, Lin Yan's heart sank.

 The secret conversation he had with Xu Jian in the study yesterday weighed heavily on his heart.

If it really comes to a "dead end" in the end, how can it be that the smoke is rising from the ancestral graves? It was obvious that all the ancestral graves were gone.

He was still a little uneasy and hesitant about the direct stab at the heart of the prince, but Lin Yu thought that he could still fight for the old things about Dingguo Temple that Xu Jian mentioned.

If there is any hidden secret, no matter whether it is beneficial to His Highness the Crown Prince or not, Lin Yu also wants to find an answer.

 This is the explanation he should give to his deceased wife.

Even after trying every possible means, you still get nothing, at best it’s all in vain.

Thinking about it, Lin Yu turned to look at Xu Jian.

In the court, it is impossible for their son-in-law to speak as frankly as he did in the study. When they met in court today, they were respectful and decent. They maintained the dignity that a son-in-law should have, but they were also a little unfamiliar. Who said they had only been married for a few days.

On the other side, Li Shao followed the Holy Master to the Imperial Study Room, listened to some teachings, and then withdrew.

 Feng's chamberlain followed him and gauged his mood.

His Highness was obviously in a good mood when he went to court, but he went into the imperial study and came out looking a little tired.

Feng Neishi thought that the Holy One had said something else that His Highness did not want to listen to.

“Your Highness,” he asked tentatively, “I will go to the Ministry of Rites tomorrow, shall I follow you or Eunuch Guo?”

Li Shao glanced at him.

 Compared to Eunuch Guo, he definitely trusts Mr. Feng more.

 “What difference does it make who follows?” Li Shao asked deliberately.

Feng Neishi chuckled and said: "It's no different. You can go back to the palace after I leave the Yamen."

Li Shao clicked his tongue: "You also urge me to return to the palace?"

"Your Majesty wants to urge you, right?" Feng's wife slowly introduced the topic, "If Duke Fu Guo didn't follow you, His Majesty would definitely give you more instructions. However, His Majesty asked you to observe the government, which shows that he still trusts you very much. ”

　　When Xu Jian was mentioned, as expected, Li Shao sneered.

"His legs are not very good, otherwise why wouldn't my father ask him to follow?" After Li Shao finished speaking, he saw that Feng's wife was hesitant to speak, so he said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Chamberlain Feng looked around to make sure there was no one there, and then lowered his voice: "Your Highness, is it true that Duke Fu's injury is not healed?"

 Li Shao looked at him: "What do you mean?"

"Isn't Dr. Yue the master of bone injuries? After so long of treatment, isn't it better? I asked you for tiger bones, which is a lot of supplements!" Feng Neishi said, curling his mouth and showing some meaning. Come on, "On the day of the wedding, I rode a horse back. I heard that it was safe and sound, and the newlyweds were happy. If he had weak legs and couldn't perform well, how could he be so proud today?"

The princess said she was gentle. She said she had a temper, but she didn't have a temper at all. The Duke of Fu was really disabled. How could she not make a fuss?

I heard from people at Cining Palace that the princess was in a good mood when she entered the palace to see the Queen Mother. "

Li Shao didn't listen to everything: "Ning An agreed to the marriage by herself. Xu Jian has a leg injury. She knew it from the beginning."

"I won't be able to wield swords or guns from the beginning. I can go to court normally, sit down in Shuntian Mansion, or follow you. Except for feeling uncomfortable when the weather is cold, the rest is no different from ordinary civil servants," Feng Neishi said, "What about now? In the first few months when I was undergoing treatment for my injuries, I didn't even go to court in the morning. Now I can go to court, but I'm not on duty... I think about it all, and it feels strange."

Li Shao took a breath: "You said Xu Jian was pretending? What's the use of pretending to be injured?"

"I think that sitting in the Yamen with you and watching the government with a lot of charcoal basins and hand stoves is more tiring than holding a woman?" Feng Neishi asked, "Doesn't he want to follow you? "

 Li Shao sneered: "I don't want him to follow me yet!"

“If the Duke of Kefu delays it any longer, it will be delayed until the beginning of spring,” Feng Neishi rolled his eyes, “Unless…”

 “Unless what?”

“Unless the Holy One doesn’t want him to follow you.”

Li Shao clicked his tongue.

He still understood his father's temper. How could his father not want Xu Jian to follow him?

“What if the Holy One knows that he is pretending to be injured?” Feng Nei asked.

Li Shao was stunned: "Does this mean he is pretending?"

 “Find a way to try him?” Feng Neishi said, “It doesn’t matter if you make a mistake anyway.”

 Li Shao touched his chin.

It’s the end of the month. Don’t let your monthly passes expire~~~
