Matrilocal Marriage - Chapter 148

The two took a stroll in the garden hand in hand, and the plum blossom forest in the Lin Mansion opened, and it was secretly fragrant, very elegant.

There are red plums like blood, white plums win over snow, pink plums like peaches, yellow plums like butterflies… it sets off against the snow in the garden, with a unique charm.

Yun An praised: “It’s really rare to see colorful flowers in this cold winter.”

Lin Buxian replied: “Grandma loves plum blossoms very much for her old man. The plum blossoms in this garden were planted by her father for her old man. Huangmei and Fenmei Luocheng didn’t exist in the garden. My father specially invited a gardener to take care of the plum. It’s what it is today.”

“How long have you not calmed down and enjoyed the flowers?”

Lin Buxian recalled for a moment, and exclaimed, “It’s been a long time.”

Yun An pulled Lalin’s unenviable hand and said softly, “Life is like a road. From birth, each of us can only rush forward without looking back, always wanting to see the scenery behind, I don’t know. Unconsciously, I missed the scenery along the road. I know that you were busy in the past, and I will try to help you share it in the future. I just hope you can stop occasionally and enjoy the scenery along the way.”

“Well, I got it.”

Yun An asked again: “By the way, you haven’t told me why the Wang brothers are worth five taels of silver together? As far as I know, some little maids who have not yet made it have a dozen or twenty taels. Wang Brothers who are young and strong, why are they worth this money?”

“The subordinates who have always sold themselves into the mansion can be counted as the property of the mansion. There is a customary rule. Generally, the price of the young man entering the mansion is higher. The price of the maid is higher than the housekeeper, but unless the owner has some Other thoughts, the maid does not have to be over twenty years old, the family does not matter. Whether it is the master or the subordinate, they all talk about a relationship. They are raised in the house since childhood. They are easy to teach and know the foundation. It’s safer for the main family. Like the Wang brothers, men who have grown up and have good skills would not dare to accept them. They would rather spend more time and money than take this unknown risk. Like the Wang brothers, they are fully capable of working together to do things that threaten the safety of the house. After buying them, they must be monitored by a few people at any time, that is, the dart board and the gambling house. The place, I dared to sell the brothers. So the price is not surprising.”

Yun An suddenly realized that he nodded, and then smiled and asked, “Then you are not afraid? Arrange them to my side?”

I don’t know what is at stake. Yun’an’s question was a bit of a veil, but she regretted it after she said it. As soon as she wanted to say it was just a joke, she heard Lin Buxian solemnly explain: “Because of them The four are the best I can find in a short period of time. They are also locals in Los Angeles. I have sent someone to check their details. Their ancestors and ancestors have been responsible for generations, and there are relatives in the family. Although the Wang brothers used to have some I’m not doing my job properly, but I’ve never done anything to commit crimes as “rapist”. And… Since I dared to take them and put them next to you, I can send people to observe them in secret. The reason why I bought four at a time, It is also to play the role of mutual checks and balances, even if one of them or two of them has some evil intentions, the other two may not agree. Time is tight…Although it is not completely safe, it is what I can think of now , The most.”

Lin Buxian also struggled with the question raised by Yun’an for a long time. Otherwise, it took more than ten days for her contacts in Los Angeles, resources, and impossible to find four guards, compared to the one in Yun’an. “Hidden danger” The murderer hiding in the dark is even more dangerous.

This was Lin Buxian’s decision after careful consideration.

Yun An apologized and said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to accuse you, I…”

“I understand, don’t worry, I will catch the murderer as soon as possible, but…” Lin Buxian chuckled and continued: “Judging from today’s test results, your worries are probably superfluous. Young Master Yun Showcasing their might and obediently tidying up those four people, where would you dare to feel bad?”

Lin Buxian and Yun’an strolled around in the garden. When the wind rose, they went back.

In a blink of an eye, another half month passed, spring came, and the earth warmed up.

For the time being, Yunan has been staying in the house except to accompany Lin Buxian out twice. He ordered people to find a remote yard and set up a training field. He took the four bodyguards to exercise every day and exchanged skills. .

Sometimes I would go to Xuan Dao Chang to drink tea and chat, and help Lin Buxian to settle the books at night. The days are the same as usual, but there are two more: one is to spend an hour every day to practice calligraphy, the other is every day In the morning, I went to the “Incense Offering” and under the watchful eyes of Mother Lin, I prayed for the blessing of Guanyin.

In response to this, Yun’an went to Xuanyichang’s place more than once to vomit bitterness, and the latter always smiled and said with relief: “Hundreds of filial piety come first, and those who are filial, obey.”

Yun’an sighed and said helplessly, “Hey, I understand the truth. But every time I kneel in front of Master Guanyin, I feel very guilty. Otherwise, you can persuade me to persuade me and let it go. Okay?”

“I’m already helping you. You know that Mrs. Lin came to ask for the secret recipe for giving birth several times, but I was persuaded. Otherwise…you wouldn’t be as simple as praying to Buddha every day, and you will have an extra bowl of soup. ” medicine”.”

…

One day, Yun Anzheng and Xuan were drinking tea and chatting together. Suddenly they heard the sound of a gong outside. The sound was loud and loud. After a string of rushing gongs, they would stop for a while, and there was another rush of gongs.

Xuan Yiyi signaled Yun’an not to say anything, and listened carefully, counting the gongs: “Seven, eight… nine! It’s the imperial edict!”

“what?”

“It’s the imperial decree. Every household must send a person to the city gate to receive the decree. Go to the front yard as soon as possible and ask Master Lin what it means.”

“okay.”

When Yun An came to the front yard, Lin Buxian and Madam Lin were all there, presumably they also heard the sound of gongs.

Lin Wei saw Yun’an coming, stroked his beard, and said, “The sound of the gong is nine, it is the imperial decree in the capital. An’er…”

“Yes.”

“You go to the gate of Dongcheng quickly and see what will come from the capital.”

“Yes.”

Lin Buxian ran after the door and shouted, “Msang Gong.”

“what happened?”

“At this moment, every household is heading to the East City Gate. There must be a lot of pedestrians on the street. Don’t ride horses, and pass the sedan chair safely.”

“No, I’ll walk over.”

“Be careful…”

“know.”

Walking out of the forest mansion, there were more people on the street. Every shop on the street had a shopkeeper, and people dressed up as a man hurried out and rushed east.

Yun’an followed the group to the East City Gate smoothly, and a tripod was placed in front of the city gate, and a pillar of high incense was “inserted” inside, which had already burned two-thirds.

The patrol soldiers lined up at the gate of the city, forming a wall of people.

On the city wall, there was a man dressed as a house attendant, with two groups of guards standing beside him. The dressing of these guards was different from those under the city. They should be two groups of people.

The people in the city gathered more and more, Yun An glanced, as if all but himself were men.

The high incense in the copper cauldron burned out, and the sound of the gong came. A group of government officials knocked on the gong and returned to the gate of the city. The leader of the government nodded to the soldiers under the city, and the latter ran up the city wall. Fuck in a sharp voice: “Quiet…”

The sound is extremely long and penetrating, and it can reach everyone’s ears from such a distance.

The venue was silent and extremely quiet, as if even breathing was cautious.

The waiter glanced, nodded in satisfaction, Yunan turned on the camera to zoom in

At the distance, he clearly saw that the servant took out a bright yellow scroll and shaken it open.

“It’s auspicious time, declare… Kneel.”

Suddenly, the city knelt down under the black pressure, and the voice of the servant came from above his head: “The emperor will be transported by heaven, and the emperor said: Since I became the throne, the military and political affairs will be personal. The use of people is not tired, and I dare not let go. Admired as the heir of the ancestors, Lie Zong, and Lai Yan, he entrusted him with great importance. Cheng Zong’s celebration, there is Yuan Liang. The prince Gao is the leader of the emperor’s heir, wise and prudent, abides by filial piety, nourishes the edict, and Zaiji At the ceremony, the ancestral temple, the ancestors, the ancestral temples, the ancestors, and all the people of the world, he was established as the crown prince. He was awarded the treasure book, and he was in the East Palace. To inherit the rivers and rivers, to carry the people of the world. This is the honor.”

…

“Long live my emperor, long live, long live.”

…

Hearing this imperial decree, Yun An’s heart sank: Unexpectedly, Lin Wei was taken in custody. He was really the son of a noble concubine, and the second prince was canonized as a prince.

Things are going so fast. I just heard Li Yuan vowed to say at the Yuxianxian Mansion a year ago: The crown prince is the country’s foundation, and the old officials in the court should mention it after the Spring Festival.

Less than a month after the end of the Shangyuan Festival, the decree of the canonization of the crown prince reached Los Angeles…

This is not good news for Yunan. Zhong Xiaoting is in the line of the noble concubine. She and Lin Buxian just stood on Li Qingshan’s side, and the situation seems to have favored Lin Wei again.

As soon as Yun’an returned to the Lin Mansion, the family guarding at the door told Yun’an: “Auntie is back? Master, please come to the main courtyard as soon as possible.”

“Well, I got it.”

Yun An hurried back to the main courtyard and heard Mrs. Lin ask: “An’er, what’s the matter?”

Yun An glanced at Lin Wei and replied: “To my mother, it is the imperial decree for the crown prince in Beijing.”

Madam Lin breathed a sigh of relief, as if she didn’t care who became the prince, she stopped asking questions after seeing that the imperial decree had nothing to do with Lin Mansion.

“Which Highness is it?” Lin Wei asked.

Yun An scratched his head, smiled “ashamed”, and said, “I… can’t remember.”

Lin Wei furrowed his brows, his face “unhappy”.

Yun An snorted coldly in his heart and said, “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) People feel dizzy and forget for a while.”
