Lord of the House

Vol 11 Chapter 1: royal family affairs

Lin Bie signed the order of the Privy Council on the eve of Lantern Festival to lift the curfew in Jiangning, which means that Jiangning officially ended the military control that lasted for more than a month and returned to normal.

Lin Fu thought that this year's No Night Festival, Jiangning would be much deserted than in previous years, but he did not expect that after a short-term war, chaos, and a month and a half of military control, the people in the city broke out with unprecedented enthusiasm.

Although there is not enough time to prepare, it only takes one day from the cancellation of the street cleaning order to the beginning of the Lantern Festival, but in just one day, all the candles, colored paper, colored silk and other items in the city have been snapped up. Strings of colorful lanterns like stars are hung up; lion dances, costumes and other outfits with hidden experiences are too late to wash, but they are all put on, and teams walk around the streets to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

After dark, the streets and alleys are full of people.

Gu Junxun, Liu Yue'er and other female relatives also arrived in Jiangning by boat before the Lantern Festival, and lived in Chen Yuan, which had just been given to the royal palace of Chongguo.

When he was having a banquet with the officials, listening to the lively outside, Lin Fu was also quite moved, holding the table with his hands, and said, "In these years, it is rare to encounter such a lively scene, and I really want to go out for a walk. Now, let's review the scenery in Jiangning City..." Then he said to Qian Xiaowu, the head of the inner government, "You sent someone to ask the ladies, do you want to go out for a breather?"

Lin Fu said this, and everyone under the table pricked up their ears. Zhou Pu sat there in a daze. Chen Ruyi and Han Bin were tortured, and dozens of secret rooms were found, but Jiang Ning was in chaos once, who knows how many extravagant houses and hidden piles of Yanlu are hidden in the city. The streets are full of people, and the fact that the guards are there Difficult to be comprehensive..."

"Liu Zhi was assassinated once, and you all made a mess. How many assassins can there be in the city?" Lin Fu laughed.

"My lord is going to parade the streets, it's okay, there are fewer people in Dongcheng," Chen Enze sat at the bottom of the table and helped Gao Zongting, "I'm afraid that people will be drawn from the forbidden camp Majun to clean the streets!"

"Okay," Zhou Puweng said in a stern voice, "Which street is your lord going to play, I'll send someone to close the street!"

"You are all a bunch of spoilers!" Lin Bie said with a wry smile. He wanted to have fun with the people and travel to Jiangning at night, so he poured cold water on Zhou Pu and the others. Come and said, "If I go back and complain after the banquet, it will be all your fault."

During the Lantern Festival, Lin Fu didn't leave everyone to sit for a long time. The banquet left early, and everyone went back to their homes to reunite with their families.

Qian Xiaowu came over and said, "The old lady is here, and she's having a feast with the ladies in the back!"

Gu Siyuan went to Mindong to fill the post of the county magistrate of Yongtai, but the conditions in Mindong were difficult, so he left his wife in Jiangning, and this time he moved to Jiangning with the old lady Tang Gu.

In the face of Tang Gu's family, Lin Fu was also a little guilty and embarrassed, but he couldn't avoid it, and said to Qian Xiaowu: "This big holiday, you and Yunniang should also go back, there is no need in the mansion in the future. Arrange too many people to take care of..." He left the crowd and walked to the inner courtyard.

As the mansion of the state government, Chen Yuan encircled the back alley, with six in-depth front and back, five groups of courtyards in the east and west, and more than 100 large cottages, which were also officially the system of the state government. Zhongyuan is an amusement park covering an area of ​​five acres, and Dongyuan and Beiyuan each have their own private gardens.

The Privy Council chose another site, except for the front yard of Chen Yuan, which was reserved as a public hall, so that Lin Bie could handle official affairs in the house. There were also institutions such as a guard room and a book room. The other residences were all inner residences. There is a feeling that Houmen is as deep as the sea.

Tonight, the Chen Garden was also decorated with lanterns. For Gu, Liu, Sun, and Su daughters, everything in the Chen Garden was new to them when they first came to Jiangning.

Lin Fu walked into the East Garden where the women's banquet was held. The banquet was still going on, but it was not expected to be lively.

In addition to the daughters, Mrs. Tang Gu brought her daughter-in-law and grandson over to have a banquet, Liu Yueer's mother and sister-in-law were also there, Song Jia, Gu Yingxiu, Shan Rou were also there, and a group of stubborn children were also present. Three tables.

All the daughters came to the side, and Lin Fu was also satisfied. If there is any regret, one is that Liu Miaozhen wants to guard Xuzhou, and the other is that Gu Yingxiu and Shan Rou cannot openly live in Chen Yuan.

Lin Fu walked into the warm pavilion to greet Tang Gu. There were relatives, and men and women were not seated. Lin Fu asked someone to move a chair next to him and sit down, listening to Tang Gu's orders. Gratitude and grievances are long overdue, and filial piety still has to be respected.

"We are talking about the admission of Zhengjun and Xiaoxin," Gu Yingxiu sat next to Tang Gu's, watching Lin Fu sitting there awkwardly, talking about the topic, "It's up to you, Old Seventeen. come to make up your mind..."

Lin Bie thought to himself that when he came in, the place was not as lively as he imagined. Could it be that he was deadlocked over this matter? He raised his head and glanced at Song Jia, but Song Jia looked at the fruit cup in front of him and ignored him; Liu Yue'er's mother's face was also cold.

Although the current wives and concubines were strictly separated, in Lin Fu's position, in addition to Gu Junxun's canonization of Junjun as the main room and Liu Miaozhen's military achievements as the wife of Qiaoguo, Su Mei, Liu Yueer, Sun Wenwan, and Xiaoman were also concubines. All received official seals.

Although the status is much lower than that of the Junjun and Junguo's wife, in the world of the concubines and servants, the concubines have a formal seal, which means that the children will also have the protection of identity and status, and there is a substantial difference.

Although Lin Fu treats all children equally, it is difficult to change the power of tradition in a short time, and it is inevitable that there will be disputes between the descendants.

When Zhengjun arrives, he is one year younger than Lin Xin. Besides, it is a virtue for women in this world to have no talent. There is no problem in entering school a few years later. The truth of setting up a western seat for concubines.

Lin Fu clarified the situation here in a second, most likely it was Mother Liu who raised the matter of Lin Xin's admission during the banquet and blocked Tang Gu's back, making the scene cold. Gu Yingxiu was not afraid of Tang Gu, and brought this matter up directly in front of him.

In the past few years, Gu Junxun has not given birth to any other children except Zhengjun. Even if Gu Junxun has a simple mind, the old lady Tang Gu's family will inevitably have the worry that the inheritance will be passed on to a foreign family. It's no wonder that Lin Gu's split ended in a fiasco in Qingzhou, and Tang Gu had no other thoughts, and all day long, he was afraid that his daughter would be bullied by others in the future. Especially last year, Liu Yueer, Sun Wenwan and Xiaoman gave birth to two daughters and one son for Lin Fu.

The best way is to follow the tradition and prevent Lin Xin and other concubines from enrolling in school. Without talent and learning, it is naturally impossible to continue Lin Fu's family business. Even if Gu Junxun has no children, he may still be adopted.

"I just told Qian Xiaowu about school admission," Lin Fu said nonsense. "In a few days, there will be a special Mongolian school in Jiangning City. The naughty and stubborn children who do not listen to education, regardless of gender. When they are old, they will all be sent to study, so as not to stay in the house to torture the nerves of adults, and there will be no special seats in the house."

"There is no difference between boys and girls?" Tang Gu asked.

"It doesn't make a difference. There is no problem with entering the school at the age of six, but it will take nine years to complete the study," Lin Fu said. "But after nine years, it is still early for a deacon. What books to read is another way of saying. , these issues have to be discussed with the ancestral court and Mengde every few days. What I mean is that each county will set up a comprehensive school, so that young people can study, but the cost is a big problem. Like those schools in Chongzhou , it takes a total of 300,000 to 400,000 taels of silver every year to support it, and every county does it, whether it can afford it, it’s hard to say now…”

Speaking of these political affairs, Tang Gu was in the dark, but Lin Fu's attitude was there, and she couldn't forcibly prevent Lin Xin from enrolling.

Lin Fu turned his head again and said to Gu Junxun, "You come to Jiangning, the Queen Mother will reward you. In two days, you will lead the Zhengjun into the palace to thank you..." Lin Fu didn't want to treat other children badly, but there was no distinction between the concubines and concubines. This inner house is also not peaceful, especially the old ladies are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Ask Jun Xun to lead Zhengjun into the palace to thank him, that is to say, any rewards for the children will be attributed to Zhengjun, and the fire in the inner courtyard will be put out first.

Having said these words, Lin Fu hid in and waited for the old ladies here to leave after a banquet with their relatives before Lin Fu showed his face.

It was rare for him to be reunited with his family after all these years of fighting abroad. Lin Xin and Zhengjun were also unfamiliar with him. The two daughters and one son who were just born last year were only two days ago in Jiangning. Lin Bie could only stand by and look at Xiaodou's face, and said to Gu Junxun and the others: "The old ladies have nothing to do, let them toss as they like, don't join in; if their brothers and sisters become enemies in the future, even When the soldiers meet, why do I have to work so hard to calculate?"

"We can save these things," Gu Junxun said. "My mother likes to worry about her own mind, so I won't listen to her..."

"Traditionally, the first son is established," Lin Fu took Zheng Jun to his knees, touched her little face, and smiled, "If Zheng Jun grows up and has a future, why not have a female prince in the world? "

"That's shocking," Gu Junxun said angrily~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Husband, don't talk nonsense. "

"I think it's okay," Su Mei smiled. "Mrs. Qiao Guo leads the army to fight, is she worse than which man? I really want to be a female prince, but she will be more ambitious for our daughter..."

Lin Bie has always been assertive, and when he was in his prime, the old ladies were just tossing around, and Su Mei and the others didn't have too many ideas about the future - thinking about Su Mei, no one is pure Lin bound his wife and concubine because of her beauty.

All the daughters have only come to Jiangning, eager to live with Lin Fu, but there is a difference between wives and concubines. For the first three days, it is natural that the concubines will have the exclusive use of the main room. Fortunately, Lin Fu has been hiding in the house for the past two days. He is also in the front yard to handle any official business. He is not free at night, and can be promiscuous during the day.

It was late at night, the daughters took their sons and daughters to rest, and the ruler also asked the maid to take him to rest, and Lin Tie rested in Junxun's room.

After tossing around Jun Xun's body as warm as jade and soft as cotton, Lin Bie asked her to lie on his body, greedily touched her plump and slippery buttocks, and said to her, "Outsiders say that I am a wolf child with ambitions. , you don't want to think wildly in the house, just be cautious in your words and deeds outside..."

Jun Xun endured Lin Bie's strange hand scratching his buttocks, greasy and dry, and said angrily: "If you talk about things, don't move your hands, you will be kicked out if you move any more. Madam Liu , The seventh lady said that she has something to discuss with you, why don't you go to discuss it now?" As for men and women, even if a woman lies down, it is also very physically exhausting. , but how can it withstand the struggle several times a night?

Lin Bie smiled shamelessly, but he didn't get the chance to be alone with Ying Xiu and Shan Rou in the past two days. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
