Chapter 56 Family Love

As soon as Du Ning entered, Qian Hai's eyelids drooped under the eaves of the corridor outside the door. The eunuchs and palace maids who were standing outside the hall were preparing to serve, and they all retreated.

"Yes." Emperor Qi Yuan responded and asked, "Can you arrange it properly?"

Du Ning replied softly: "Don't worry, the people sent in this time are all selected from one out of ten. Because the purpose is a little different from the past, the first choice is to be meticulous and the second is to be strong in the hands of the people. Although these people are not from the capital, they all have families, have clean foundations, are easy to control, and have no problems with loyalty."

"Well... so good." Emperor Qiyuan responded and continued to ask, "How will the kings do after they leave the capital?"

"After returning to the emperor, most of the kings left the capital, they did not stop and went straight back to their territory. King An was occasionally infected with the cold wind, so he left the capital relatively late. In addition, the King of Wu was the last one to leave the capital. Just now, the King of Wu left the capital at Si time today, and the team stopped in Huangzhou at three o'clock in the Shenshi time, and the journey was only more than a hundred miles. Wen Qinghe, the official of Huangzhou Prefecture, led his subordinates to the city gate and will welcome the King of Wu in the Wangjing Tower of Huangzhou tonight."

After hearing this, Emperor Qiyuan did not make a sound, but his face looked a little bad. He paused for a while before he said slowly: "It seems that he can't hold back. It's okay when he comes, he even needs to take advantage of the trip back to Jian'an. Humph! Even Huangzhou, which is more than a hundred miles away from the capital, doesn't want to miss it. He doesn't take me seriously!" Emperor Qiyuan picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, pondered for a while and said: "But it's okay, I'm not anxious. If he doesn't do anything, I'll be in trouble. Now he shows his might and wins the hearts of the people. I just happened to take a look at which officials of all sizes, big and small who hold the salary of the court are loyal to the court, and which one is a fence-bearer who falls down..."

"The Emperor is wise."

"Haha!" Emperor Qi Yuan smiled and asked, "Can you find it clearly? What's going on in the capital these days when the kings came to the capital?"

Du Ning said: "Go back to the emperor, there is no news yet. I will continue to check it in detail afterwards. But... If the kings really do anything, they will probably not choose this moment. I think... If I only limit the time around the Mid-Autumn Festival, I may not be able to find anything. But even if there is no proof this time, based on the previous foundation, if I have to do it, the evidence will be enough..."

Emperor Qiyuan looked at Du Ning, and nodded after thinking for a moment. "That's right, I'm a little resentful. These people took the salary I gave them, and under the banner of the court, plundered the people's wealth, but instead took it out for me, they put it in their private pockets in private! Among them, those who used my gold and silver to win people's hearts for themselves are particularly hateful! They should kill the nine clans!"

When Du Ning heard this, he bowed his head and killed the nine clans? If this is true, the first one to be killed is King Zhang Xiu of Wu. But if he wants to talk about his nine clans... Then the current emperor will also be implicated... Du Ning thought to himself, but his lips were closed tightly.

"At this point, there is only one word for tolerance." Emperor Qiyuan took a deep breath and looked out the window and sighed: "Since I ascended the throne, there have been few things that go well, and everything must be tolerated. I must tolerate ministers who are not against the plate; I must tolerate concubines who do not see them; I must tolerate internal troubles; I must not only not eliminate internal troubles, but on the contrary, I must tolerate; I have to even endure the empress dowager to me, what can I do? Only endure! Tolerance...tole! Tolerance! Even if I am a real dragon descending to the earth, and the reincarnation of the celestial immortal, there will always be a day when I cannot bear it! At that time..." Bang! Emperor Qiyuan closed his hands, and the cover bowl in his palm touched the teacup, making a crisp sound...

Gushi Street, Jingbei Bo Mansion.

"My mother, please report to me:

After I was told that I was happy that I was happy to be healthy and relieved. I read the letter and saw the words as if I were in the face. I followed them and told me that I had not received any replies due to my responsibilities…”

In the back house, Lin Nan held a letter in his hand and was reciting loudly. On the short couch facing north, his grandmother Zhao was leaning against his body and listening carefully. Beside Zhao, the little girl Xueyi was wearing a cold fan. On several chairs to the east, there were Zhou, Xia and Zheng, and by the window facing south, Lin Zhi was drinking sweet mung bean soup while listening to his brother reading the letter.

Time was not long, so I finished reading the letter. Lin Nan took the letter paper and turned around and handed it to his grandmother Zhao. Zhao leaned on the couch, opened the letter paper, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he was feeling the breath of his son from afar on the letter paper. Then he slowly moved the letter paper from the momentum, and looked at the ink marks on it with his eyes lifted. After a while, he closed the letter paper and sighed slightly: "Oh, it's good to be safe, it's good to be safe..."

The letter was from Lin Wu, the second master of the Lin family, the governor of Hannan. The four sons of the Lin family, two officials and one businessman, went out all year round, and only one young son with no prospects was by their side. Zhao sat at home and thought about this and that, so several sons who went out often wrote letters, including Lin Wen. Lin Wu’s letter this time was nothing special, and the general idea was to report safety, and by the way, he asked his two sons Lin Nan and Lin Zhi how the situation was. Lin Wu used to letters in the past, and Zhao was used to it, but he traveled thousands of miles and was not worried. Besides, Lin Wu has always reported good news but not bad news. Zhao was also very worried, so he was particularly worried.

After a while, Zhao got up from the couch and handed the letter back to Lin Nan, saying, "The letter was written by your father. You have read what you wrote. You can go home rarely. You should do the mission of this reply!" After a pause, Zhao continued, "I have heard about your affairs in the mansion these days. It is good to do this by the mission in the palace. It is not a shame to not lose your father's face. The person who replied to the letter, write all these things as much as possible, so as to avoid your parents thinking about it all day long. All parents in the world are average! Alas!"

"Yes, my grandson knows."

Zhou looked at Lin Nan with his eyes intently, and his love in his eyes remained unabated: "It is said that time is like an arrow, and the sun and the moon are like a passing day. I don't feel anything on weekdays, but when I see these children, I know that I am old..." Zhou turned to look at the old lady, and said in his hand: "Think about it, when Nan'er first came to the mansion, she was so big. In a blink of an eye, she grew up to be an adult. Even Xiao Xueyi, who only knew how to eat cake at that time, was about to become a big girl!" The elders laughed, but there was nothing else. Xueyi could not help but blushed when she heard his mother's words, and hurriedly took a fan to cover it.

Xia said to the side, "That's not true! Seeing that Fu'er and Shou'er have grown up and are at the age of getting married, the people who have proposed marriages these days have almost stepped on the threshold, haha! After Fu'er and Shou'er, they will be the two eldest masters of the second master's family! When their little brothers and others have become homes and have grown up, our Lin family will be even more prosperous!"

After hearing Xia's words, Zhao and Zhou just smiled, but Zheng still had nothing to say. Xue Yi showed his face from behind the fan and said to Xia: "I guessed that after I had been talking for a long time, the topic would turn to my brother's marriage. These days, the aunt didn't care about anything else. When it came to my brother's marriage, it was not ordinary. But although the aunt was enthusiastic, she didn't have a very accurate look at people. Fortunately, it was not the turn of the aunt to make the decision..."

"Oh!" Xia's mouth quickly took it and replied as she smiled, "Look, everyone said that our young lady is getting more and more accomplicated. This little mouth is really not forbidden. Xueyi, Auntie knows that you are old, so don't worry about this matter. Auntie has been helping you with a long time ago! Hahaha!"

"Go! The unruly girl, talk nonsense!" Listening to the old and young bickering, Zhao smiled and slapped the girl, and said, "It's getting worse and worse!" Turning to Xia, he said, "You are the same. As an elder, you tease her all day long. Even if you are a quiet person by nature, you will be so angry that you will be so angry."

Zhou smiled warmly, "Mom, don't bother. It's okay. In our huge Earl's Mansion, the master is not here, so he relies on the fact that he has these children to get angry. Especially Xue Yi, not only the old lady's pistachio, but also the whole mansion, who doesn't say it openly and secretly like her? If she gets married in the future, we may feel less of our lives..."

Zhao snorted: "It's all you who are the mothers, and you always spoil and protect them. It's so unconventional. Which family dares to ask for this tricky girl in the future?" As he said that, he pointed to Xue Yi: "If you can't get married, my old lady won't support you, a stingy guy!"

"Haha!" Xia smiled beside him, "Don't worry, old lady, don't look at our young lady's temper, but someone may not like this! With this temperament, even if you go to your in-laws' house, you won't suffer any losses. But I don't know which family we will be in trouble in the future..."

"Hmph!" Xue Yi glared: "It's so ugly. With this sentence, Xue Yi will have a good fortune! When you visit your relatives in the future, you can open your eyes, aunt!"

When Zhou heard this, his smile became stronger and stronger. Zhao cursed again: "Go! The more he said it, it became more and more outrageous. A girl who has not left the house is not ashamed to say these words! Go! He ordered the kitchen to make another bowl of sour plum soup, and I want to drink it from the old lady!"

Lin Nan stood beside him and watched the people quarrel. He hadn't returned home for a long time. Such a happy scene made him feel very friendly. But he was interesting to watch, but Lin Zhi next to him was a little absent-minded. He sat on the chair and stood up again, as if something was wrong. The old lady next to him smiled again when she saw it and said to Lin Nan: "Okay, I finally came back, don't wait for me to wait here all the time. Let's go out and say private words to your brother! Look, you can't wait for someone to jump up and down, like a little monkey!" The words made everyone laugh again.

Lin Nan responded, and before he could turn around, Lin Zhi had already jumped off the chair and grabbed Lin Nan's sleeve, as if it was a pony that was unrestrained, and pulled him out.
Chapter completed!
