Chapter 24: Visiting relatives

On August 12th, the capital, Jingbei Bo Mansion.

Lin Nan has been here for almost three days, and the feeling of dreaming at the beginning gradually faded away. His grandmother Zhao's kindness and mother Chen's care made his heart slowly calm down. Only after losing it can he know how to cherish it. This is the most appropriate thing for Lin Nan. This time, he returned to his mother's arms and felt the warmth of home. Lin Nan cherished it very much, fearing that if you are not careful, everything beautiful would disappear in front of you. Except for Lin Nan's first day of returning from Jingbei Bo Mansion, everyone had dinner together for the rest of the two days as the old lady told her to eat their own food. Since Lin Wu and his wife returned from another province, the old lady temporarily added some extra expenses on the stove these days, and Lin Nan's family had dinner with the old lady.

At this time, Lin Wu, the governor of Changning Prefecture, had been away from the yamen for almost ten days. Even with the grace of the empress dowager and the emperor was kind. If he lived there, someone would probably have a life of trouble. So Lin Wu proposed to the old lady that he would take Lin Nan back to Changning. Who knew that the old lady was wise and wise, but he disagreed at this moment, and insisted that Lin Wu and his family spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital. Lin Wu had no choice but to bite the bullet and respond.

Although Lin Wu looked like a good son in front of the old lady, he was not like this at all outside. He could be promoted from a small seventh-rank county magistrate to a prefect, and no matter where he went, he would build the local yamen so that he could not insert needles or splash water. Would such a person be a docile person?

At present, Lin Wu was not worried about some chaos in the yamen. Lin Wu had been sitting on the chair in Changning Mansion for two years, so he knew what his subordinates looked like. Not to mention ten days, even if he left for twenty or thirty days, I believe his yamen would not change much. However, there was no change inside, and there was no clear outside. If someone took this matter as a document and wrote it up, even if the emperor wanted to suppress it, I was afraid that the hat of "destroying public for personal gain" would not be able to escape...

Just when Lin Wu was in a dilemma, someone suddenly came to report that the Imperial Concubine was going back to the house to visit her relatives!

The Imperial Concubine is the eldest daughter of the Lin family, the legitimate daughter born to the old lady Zhao and Lin Shilang, the sister of Lin Wen and Lin Wu. In her early years, she was attracted by the emperor and became a concubine. Because she was generous and kind, and good at guessing the emperor's wishes, she was very favored after entering the palace. After so many years, after many twists and turns, she was already the Imperial Concubine.

Although Concubine Lin was favored in the harem, she knew a lot about things. Jingbei Bo Mansion was in the capital, but she rarely came back. However, the old lady Zhao occasionally missed her daughter, so she asked for an order to go to the palace to meet her. At this time, everyone heard that the Concubine returned to the house to visit her relatives, and they were happy, and they became busy.

The imperial concubine had not left the palace yet, so she just sent someone to Lin's house to inform him. So Lin Wen's family and Lin Wu's family took their servants out and started to dress up and do their work. As usual, they had to clean the door door, wipe the door lintel, and four big red lanterns were picked up on it. Two tables of fruit and snacks were also placed in the main hall, and a few chairs were added temporarily. It is said that the imperial concubines in the palace came back to visit their relatives, but Concubine Lin was always thrifty and did not like false reputations. As early as the last time she came back, she had told her not to be extravagant, so the servants of the Lin family saved a lot of trouble, and there were so fewer rules and regulations. When the imperial concubine returned to her parents' house, she felt a lot of warmth.

I had been busy for more than an hour. It was almost time for Chen Shi, and someone finally came to report in front of the mansion that the imperial concubine had already arrived at the intersection of Gushi Street!

The old lady was headed by the old lady, and the Lin family and others all left the gate, and stood one by one, looking at the interface. At this moment, since the old lady Zhao family, everyone has put on their best clothes according to the regulations.

The old lady is a second-rank imperial lady. She wore a red gold-pulled Guanyin in the middle of her head. There were two pearls and jade flowers on the left and right, and three pearls and jade clouds on the top. She wore a finger to the top of the Atlantic pearls and jade hanged with hanging tassels. The palace maids and eunuchs in front opened the way, and there were more than a dozen of them behind.

Before the sedan chair arrived in front of Lin Mansion, the eunuchs in front were already singing loudly. As the singing was heard, the people in Lin Mansion, led by the old lady, quickly walked forward, and knelt down to greet the car. At this time, the ancient stone street was full of people, and they all saw the imperial concubine returning to the house, so they followed the fun.
