Return to the Qing Dynasty 68

"Who do you doubt?" Dong Xiaowan looked at the queen and asked in a low voice.

Lin Yutong looked at Dong Xiaowan and saw that she liked this girl was that she was never restrained by her side. She asked whatever she had, and asked what she didn't understand. Then she put it into her heart and remembered her and then had a memory. The more she learned in the past two years, she became more dignified. Many concubines from the royal family asked indirectly what kind of family they wanted to find for her. This matter... Lin Yutong mentioned it, but she didn't force her. This girl knew it. She would make up her mind whether she would marry a man or what kind of person she would marry. Lin Yutong would not make any decision.

Seeing that she asked Lin Yutong and did not hide, she asked, "If it were Hongli's side room...what did she have this method? Even if she had an idea, it would not be possible for someone who did not run errands for her. Who could she mobilize? Or who could she trust?"

If you are not a person who is absolutely trusted, it is impossible to tell him secret matters.

Except for Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion, there is no one else to think of.

Dong Xiaowan said this and Lin Yutong nodded, and then asked again, "Others don't know about the Chengen Marquis Mansion. You know about the Chengen Marquis Mansion and know about the relationship between me and the Chengen Marquis Mansion. So from your understanding, can you find someone from the Hou Mansion who dares to do such a thing?"

Dong Xiaowan frowned and thought for a long time, she still shook her head. She could see clearly the relationship between the Queen and the Marquis of Cheng'en in the past two years. The only old lady of Jueluo who needs to attend in the palace has always been here. You know, the old lady of Jueluo and the Marquis of Cheng'en are now two different things. The Queen didn't even want to ask the old lady to return to the Ulanara family. For more than a year, the Marquis of Cheng'en in the Marquis of Cheng'en, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, has never been recruited into the palace again. The Queen can only hear any happy events in the mansion. These people don't know how many ways they have walked behind them. The Thirteenth Master's mansion, the Fourteenth Master's mansion, the Ninth Master's mansion, and even the Beizi mansion of Prince Hongwang, they all come to ask for it. They just want to ask the meaning of the palace, and then give the Queen an attitude, and want to say that they knew they were wrong. But the Queen ignored them at all.

During the official assessment at the end of the year, several men from Ulanara's family failed and were rebuked by the emperor. It was a bit unreasonable to say that at this time, they dared to come out and jump around.

Dong Xiaowan was shocked, "Are you worried that someone would do anything wrong outside using the sign of Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion?"

Lin Yutong didn't nod, and things always seemed strange. The daughter of the Lin family entered the palace, and it was strange that the Lin family believed that someone could guarantee them to stand up for them so easily. It seemed reasonable, but the matter was completely unreliable. What Lin Yutong even frowned was that this young secretary, Lord Lin, was from a poor family and could be promoted to the fourth rank without any background. At the age of 40, it cannot be considered unsuccessful. If no one relies on his current achievements, he is a wise man. If such a smart person had been trapped so easily, then this could not be said to be smart. If he turned the past, he had to really consider whether Lord Lin really had no backing in the officialdom. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that the Lin family was very conflicted.

"Let's check it first." She told Dong Xiaowan, "Don't ask anything..." After asking, I couldn't explain clearly, "Dig deeper and check the Lin family at the bottom..." I didn't believe it. I wanted to see who was haunted here.

This is no longer a matter of Hongli's backyard. Lin Yutong suspected that someone deliberately mixed sand between him and Hongli.

What will Hongli think when this happens? Do you think it was his niece who instructed his niece and his parents to do this?

Yes!

He even thought that he had a chaotic relationship with his parents' family on his face, and it was a trick to avoid it. He secretly asked his family to deal with them. He would not think about whether he had the strength now. After all, there were many people who had no ambitions in history books. Besides, the three legitimate sons were too young. If they were to be on the safe side, even if the obstacles could not be removed, it would be correct to suppress the older prince and not to say that they would grow stronger. This time, Gao Bin was ruined. The blow to Hongli was not a big deal. If we looked at it from a normal perspective, Hongli's thinking this way could not be considered wrong.

There is nothing unreasonable to the emperor. Even if you don’t think deeply, you can’t become an emperor.

Lin Yutong felt that this happened during the Chinese New Year.

Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was over, I went back to the garden with the Fourth Master with my children.

I think the four little ones prefer gardens than the palace. They are not allowed to go out in the palace, and there is no place for them to play outside. But the garden is different. The flower room is large and warmer, so people are asked to take them there so that they can have fun inside.

After settling in the garden, the Interior Department asked someone to ask again that the palace banquet could not be held on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

No!

Before Lin Yutong could speak, the Fourth Master replied directly.

Not only did he stop doing it, the Fourth Master is no longer in the garden. He wants to take Lin Yutong out to see the lights.

Anyway, the Empress Dowager was not in Changchun Garden, and when she came out of the palace, she was picked up by the Fourteenth.

The child is too young and has not taken any one to go out. He is also a dedicated person to watch it. There is no problem at all if he is not there for a long time.

After coming out of the garden, the two of them took people, one by one and one horse to the capital. There were always people passing by on this road for twelve hours a day, and 90% of them were noble people who could not afford to offend the people. So there was no one who could even look into the head.

The pattern of the capital is still different from before. In the past, the lively city has always been an inner city, but since the factory was established one by one in the suburbs of Beijing, now it seems that the outer city is much more lively than the inner city. Even if there is no curfew now, people are much smaller in the inner city.

From a distance, the lights were brightly lit not far away. The Fourth Master and Lin Yutong got off the horse and handed the horse to the others. They walked hand in hand, looking like they were only one mile away, with a few steps away.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I turned the corner, I heard a series of bells behind me. The Fourth Master pulled her away from the roadside, but saw a carriage following slowly. I could still hear the sound of talking. I think there should be many people on the carriage.

When he arrived, the coachman greeted him enthusiastically, "Do you want to make a car? One penny per person."

Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment. I don’t know if it was Jiu Fujin’s quick movement or Hongxin did not delay it. It only took a few days to talk about this, and there were carriages so far away in the outer city. It seemed that they were drawn from a village outside the city.

The Fourth Master pulled Lin Yutong up, gave the coachman two copper plates, and then got on the carriage.

When he arrived on the carriage, the Fourth Master met a familiar man named Su Peisheng.

This guy was following him at a distance, but now he got on the carriage and quietly smiled at the Fourth Master and Lin Yutong. He really became a spirit. Needless to ask, he knew that the Fourth Master must ride on the carriage.

He ignored him and sat on the edge of the widened car as if he didn't know him. A wind light hung on the roof of the car, swaying and vaguely, and the carriage would not be pitch black. The carriage was lengthened and widened, and twenty or thirty people could always get out. The seats in the car were almost full, and the people who were wearing it were all rural people.

The people in the car were originally muttering and whispering, but when they saw Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master who were dressed well and had a good temperament, they didn't dare to speak any more. For a moment, the car was quiet.

Fortunately, the road was not far away. Anyway, Lin Yutong had not looked at the car very well, so she arrived at the place. Getting off the car, the atmosphere suddenly became different. The place where she got off the car was outside the night market, and they and Su Peisheng got off. As soon as she got off the car, a few people came to the side of the road, and they got on the carriage again, saying that there was not enough seats and they just squeezed. It can be seen that the business is excellent.

There are people on both sides of the street, and there is no end to the colorful lights on both sides. There are also various snack stalls next to it, which are mixed with flavors, but they are not disgusting, but they look particularly ignorant.

The Fourth Master was afraid that he would be dispersed, so he took Lin Yutong's hand and followed the crowd.

Su Peisheng was squeezed and couldn't keep up for a while.

The Fourth Master didn't care. His eyes first looked at the yamen runners standing on the street who maintained order, and then at the water truck parked in the streets and alleys. He couldn't help but nodded secretly. Fourteenth is doing a good job, and it's better to prepare for the future and be prepared in advance than to deal with it in time.

Lin Yutong looked at the fat baby holding the big dumplings and gnawing on the lamp, so she took the Fourth Master to buy it, "Take it back for the children..."

The lamp is very high, so the price is definitely not low. It costs 50 taels to open your mouth, and it looks like you don’t want to bargain.

To be honest, the cost is at most 500 yuan. If it is sold normally, it will only cost more than one tael of silver. But just as we caught up with this festival, the price will double.

It seems that the means of doing business are the same regardless of ancient or modern times.

The Fourth Master was about to pay for it, but when he touched the purse, he remembered that Su Peisheng was holding the purse.

Then he looked at Lin Yutong innocently, meaning you paid for it.

Lin Yutong gave him a blank look, holding back her laughter and was about to get the money, but she didn't expect a smile to come, "I'll pay...I'll pay..."

It's Hongzhou!

This kid really doesn't know how to pick it up.

Now I think it's so difficult to live a world of two people.

Hongzhou handed over the silver in one hand and held the lamp in the other hand and was squeezed out by someone. "Dad, go to the restaurant to sit down." He pointed at the restaurant on the side of the road, "It's good to sit on it and look good. Just ask the guy to come down and buy whatever snack you want."

If you encounter it, you can't leave.

Without saying a word, he followed Hongzhou to the restaurant.

When I reached the door, I looked up and saw three words written on the plaque.

This handwriting is familiar! It's not exactly Hongzhou's.

Hongzhou chuckled and touched his nose, "That... please..."

Compared with the outside, the restaurant is another level. One floor, one table next to another, and people are sitting in a lot. Go up the stairs, and the second and third floors are the private rooms. I thought it would be on the third floor, but I didn’t expect there was a staircase at the corner of the third floor. I went up the stairs and another floor.

This floor looks like an attic. Several houses were built on it. Because it was far away from the street and the archway was blocked by the archway, it was difficult to see a unique place. If the weather was warm, it would be a different experience on the rooftop.

Now standing on the wind, looking at the night view below. The two rows of lights are like two fire dragons, winding away, and they can't see the end. The crowd is like flowing water, and it's so lively.

"This is all the merits of the Emperor Ama." Hongzhou flattered at the right time, "It was unimaginable that such a scene a few years ago."

This flattery was not clever, but the corners of the Fourth Master's mouth still rose.

Hongzhou chuckled and clapped his palms, and someone came over with a tray. He handed two glasses of wine to the Fourth Master and Lin Yutong, "...Try it, this is the wine brought back from overseas by Uncle Jiu..."

Lin Yutong took a sip, it looked like Japanese sake.

Hongzhou gave Lin Yutong another piece, but said to the Fourth Master, "... In my son's farm, all the sweet potatoes made by the third brother. Nowadays, the more sweet potatoes you grow, the more yields you have. Anyway, this thing doesn't pick the place, so some people have to harvest it if you plant it... My son wants to ask the emperor, if you buy this thing... do you think it's okay?"

This thing can fill your stomach and not starve to death. But no one can stand it by eating it as serious food. When he thinks of this thing, his stomach will be filled with sour water, and the days when he chews on steamed sweet potatoes and dips peppers in salt. Of course, it will be better if someone buys it for money, "What do you want so many sweet potatoes?" He asked Hongzhou.

Hongzhou smiled and said, "...I planted a lot last year, and I gave it to my third brother. There were also a lot of bad things left. Some of them were left. My son's restaurant has his own brewing chef, who originally made wine at the farm. Unexpectedly, he was interested when he saw sweet potatoes, so he used that thing to brew sweet potato wine."

Lin Yutong laughed, but the boy was indeed a little trick. Isn’t this just sweet potato wine? It’s not so intoxicating, and the concentration is only between ten degrees and thirty degrees.

Hongzhou pointed to the north, "Whether it is Mongolia or the Russians, it is very cold. Men like strong liquor, and the more intense the knife, the better. But women, those with a lower degree and a little sweetness are also very popular... My son just wants to sell this thing to the north... Even if it is replaced with beef, mutton or wool..." It was sold to Aunt Jiu in place, and it was silver.

The Fourth Master nodded, agreeing with his idea, and specially ordered sweet potato wine to taste it for a few bites, which tasted pretty good.

Hongzhou took out all the wine in the restaurant and asked the Fourth Master and Lin Yutong to taste it.

I have to say that this kid can do business. There are all kinds of wines such as peach blossom wine, apricot blossom wine, chrysanthemum wine, lotus wine, plum wine, and all kinds of wines.

The Fourth Master snorted and said to Hongzhou, "Did you give a little less money for filial piety..."

What’s missing? Just spend enough money. It’s useful to save money. The principle of learning in business is the same, just like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat.

But I didn't dare to say this to my own emperor, nodded, and promised to be more filial.

Lin Yutong looked at it and laughed without saying anything. The wind blew, and the broken heads covered her eyes. She turned her head to the side, raised her hand to tidy up her head. As soon as she opened her squinting eyes, she couldn't help but squinting again.

At the wonton stall facing the street below, the person sitting was a bit like Hongli.

This book is nothing amazing. But who is the woman sitting opposite him covering her face with a gauze? It is not Fucha, nor Ulanara, nor Gao, because she saw this woman's walking posture. Although she was also hired by Tingting, there is a clear difference. I'm afraid she has a small foot.

Bringing Han girls out? It's nothing. There are still fewer Han girls in the harem of the late emperor. Are they all small feet women?

But what really asked her to squint was that when she looked around, there were more than a dozen guards distributed around them. Don’t ask Lin Yutong how she saw it, observing the environment and making accurate judgments has become her instinct.

Moreover, these more than ten people were not Hongli's guards. The people from the guard camp could recognize them at a glance. After counting, only four of the eighteen people were brought by Hongli. The rest were from the woman opposite him.

There is also the wonton stall, and now they are sitting. There are only two of them. There are so many snack stalls, all over the crowd, why is this one hospital only entertaining these two? When she looked at it before, she saw no customers, and she thought that the business must be the best, and she sold out the prepared ones so early. But now she looks like this. Looking at the elderly couple again, she has a look in her eyes.

The Fourth Master was talking to Hongzhou, but he didn't see her for a long time. He turned his face to look at her, and saw her looking down at her in a daze.

"What's wrong?" The Fourth Master asked Lin Yutong and reached out to hold her hand. It was clear on the rooftop, but it was very cold.

Lin Yutong pulled the Fourth Master's hand back, "It's Hongli..."

The Fourth Master frowned and looked at Lin Yutong's sight. He looked at him without seeing anyone in a circle. "Where?"

Lin Yutong pushed the hand stove that Hongzhou handed over, turned around and looked closely, and saw that Hongli and the woman were no longer visible.
To be continued...
