Red House Shoufu

Chapter 169 Farewell
The imperial decree was issued, and Lin Shu, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, temporarily led the imperial order to inspect the river and inspect the river management in the prefectures of Henan.

As Lin Shu walked out of the palace holding the imperial sword in his hand, those who originally thought it was just a hard job smelled something different.

In previous years, when patrolling the river, we only selected one or two officials from each ministry, went down for a walk and came back.There has never been an imperial decree and the sending of imperial envoys, let alone the imperial sword that made the officials' scalps tingle.

Hanging the imperial sword on his waist, Lin Shu took the warrant from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and went to the Dragon Guard camp.

The mission this time was full of dangers, and the emperor specially asked the Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies to send Tan Mingming, the eldest son of Jiyuan Botan Daolin, to lead five hundred dragon guards to protect the three of Lin Shu.

Tan Mingming was about the same age as Jia Lian, in his early twenties.After hearing Lin Shu's intention to come, he slapped his chest loudly: "Scholar Lin, don't worry, my father has already told me the whole story. When I left Beijing this time, all my subordinates, including me, Follow the order of the bachelor. There are five hundred brothers from the Dragon Guards, and those curfews will never get close to the imperial envoy camp!"

The two met at Princess Zhongshun's birthday banquet. Lin Shu knew that Jiyuanbo's mansion was one of the emperor's confidantes, and now he specially arranged for this young Qianhu to accompany him to protect him.

Lin Shu cupped his hands and said, "Since that's the case, I would like to thank General Tan and the brothers of the Long Guard!"

……

The night before leaving, the brothers and sisters of the Lin family had dinner with Wang Qi's family.

Although Wang Huan was making jokes, the atmosphere at the dinner table was still a little gloomy.

After finishing the meal, Wang Qi stuffed a few posts into Lin Shu's hands, and patted him on the shoulder: "These are all my friends from the same year. Although their official positions are not high, they are always useful. You can visit them at your chance. "

Lin Shu collected the post and bowed to thank him.Wang Qi and his wife dragged away their son who wanted to talk to Lin Shu, leaving their daughter Wang Yuan in the house.Daiyu winked at her elder brother and led Xueyan back to the courtyard.

Wang Yuan took out a small kit with chubby koi embroidered on it.She opened the kit, and inside was a talisman.

"This is the peace talisman I sought at the Cloud Market a few days ago. Brother Lin, remember to carry it with you..."

The shortest time to go to Henan is more than a month, and the longest is three months.Since coming to Beijing, the two have been together for a long time, and the love has long been deeply planted in their hearts.When it was in the heat of the day, when they suddenly parted, not to mention Wang Yuan, even Lin Shu himself felt extremely reluctant.

There was a red string on the kit, Lin Shu took it and put it on his chest, hid it close to his body and held Wang Yuan's hands.

"With this safety talisman from Sister Yuan, I will definitely come back safely."

……

After the two were alone for a while, Lin Shu sent Wang Yuan back to Hengwu Garden, and then came to Daiyu's courtyard.

Through the window, I saw Daiyu sitting in front of the window, resting her chin with her hands, staring out of the window in a daze.Seeing Lin Shu's figure, Daiyu's nose suddenly became sore.

"elder brother……"

Lin Shu strode into the room, stretched out his hand and rubbed Daiyu's head: "Don't worry, Your Majesty has arranged five hundred imperial troops, and they are all good fighters with one as ten."

Daiyu's tears finally fell down, she didn't know what happened to her, she was clearly prepared mentally, but she just felt sad in her heart.

Since Lin Ruhai's filial piety, Lin Shu saw Daiyu cry for the first time.He was at a loss and took out his handkerchief, trying to wipe Daiyu's tears.

But Daiyu threw herself into Lin Shu's arms and burst into tears...

After all, she is only a 13-year-old girl, and her closest loved ones are about to travel far away, and her heart is full of worry, helplessness and panic.

When Lin Ruhai sent her to Beijing, he also said that he would take a post in Beijing in a year.But after waiting for three years, what he waited for was a cold funeral report.She was afraid of parting, afraid of being alone.

Lin Shu sighed and patted Daiyu's back lightly, just like coaxing her to sleep when she was a child, humming an unknown tune softly.

When Daiyu was tired from crying, she finally stopped crying.Lin Shu looked at Daiyu with red and swollen eyes, and comforted her softly for a long time.

On the branch of the moon, Wang Yuan, who had just been sent back, came to Daiyu's small courtyard.

"I'll sleep with Sister Lin tonight, I haven't whispered to her for a long time..."

……

In the late summer night, the sound of insects and birds outside the window kept coming and going, and the two girls lying on the bed were not sleepy.

"Sister Yuan, do you think I made trouble unreasonably? My brother is going to deal with important affairs of the court, but I make such a fuss that I can't make my brother feel at ease."

Daiyu turned over and embraced Wang Yuan's beautiful arms.He choked up and said: "Father also said back then that I was obediently waiting for him to come to Beijing at my grandfather's house, but I have never seen him again. Although it is a bit unlucky to say these words, I am really scared!"

Wang Yuan stretched out her hand, embraced Daiyu, and held her in her arms: "Don't be afraid. Today is different. Brother Lin is holding the Shangfang sword in his hand, which represents His Majesty. And with the guards of the Dragon Guards by his side, he will be able to complete the task smoothly." Holy Order, return in triumph."

The two sisters comforted each other in the dark, and Daiyu sniffed Wang Yuan's pleasant fragrance, and in the soft words of Wu Yin's comforting voice, she felt more at ease.

After coaxing Daiyu to sleep, Wang Yuan no longer feels sleepy.She covered Daiyu with a quilt, and looked at a ray of light in the darkness.

The moon hangs on the sky, and the bright moonlight shines on the window sill.Wang Yuan frowned and thought carefully. When she accompanied Lin Shu to search for information on Henan, she had already discovered all kinds of tricks hidden in it.

Breaking open the embankment of the Yellow River to cause natural disasters and encroaching on fertile land are definitely not as simple as they guessed.There are also those docks, which definitely hide shocking secrets.

What Lin Shu had to face on this trip was not only the corrupt officials in Henan, but also Prince Yizhong's Mansion in the capital, aristocratic families and even the White Lotus Cult hidden among the refugees.

There are too many enemies to face. Although the main ones are the Duke of England and Mr. Zhang Ge who hold heavy troops, Lin Shu and his party will definitely encounter obstacles from all sides.

Alas, I hope that everything goes well as Brother Lin said!

……

At the beginning of Chen Shi, a group of majestic dragon guards escorted several carriages out of the capital from Suzaku Gate.

Looking at the letter in his hand, Lin Shu couldn't help feeling a little moved.This morning, the steward of the Qian family sent it over early in the morning, saying that his master had written it overnight, and asked him to hand it over to Lin Shu himself.

Going down to the Yamen yesterday, Lin Shu went to Zhengxifang to visit Qian's Mansion according to Wei Qinghe's words.Although Qian's house took the salute, Qian Qianli didn't see him, but said that before leaving, he would ask the housekeeper to deliver a letter to him.

Lin Shu opened the envelope, only to see a line on the first page: Worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later.

Turning to the second page, there is a dense relationship diagram on it.From the chief envoy of Henan to the county magistrate, there are at least more than 50 people.
