Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 23
After Lin Cunde sent Zhu Ji away, he returned to his study and continued reading. The new books he bought today need to be read carefully.

The next morning, not long after Lin Cunde returned to his study to read, Grandpa Yang knocked on the door: "Master, your uncle from the tribe has come to see you!"

When Lin Cunde heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Please come in quickly!"

Lin Yunqi, a clan uncle in Hubu, was the head of the Shandong Civil Service Department in Hubu. He and another clan uncle were very helpful at his parents' funeral. They were so busy that he didn't understand anything at that time. Rely on them to take charge of the overall situation.

Grandpa Yang opened the door and a middle-aged man came in. Lin Cunde hurried over and handed over his hands: "I've met uncle!"

"Well, Cunde, I see you are doing much better, uncle is relieved!" Lin Yunqi came in and saw that Lin Cunde was in good spirits, and nodded with a smile.

"Yes, please sit down, uncle, and I'll make tea for you!" Lin Cunde asked Lin Yunqi to sit down, and he began to make tea for him.

"Your study is warm, how do you do it?" Lin Yunqi also noticed that it was warm here and asked quickly.

"Oh, I asked someone to make this stove, which burns firewood. It saves money! In two days, I will send someone to deliver it to your house!" Lin Cunde explained immediately.

When Lin Yunqi heard this, he stood up, went to the stove, looked at it, and then said, "Did you do it?"

"Yes, you're just trying to figure it out!" Lin Cunde nodded and said.

"That's right! Send a few more and tell your uncle how much it will cost!" Lin Yunqi nodded.

Lin Cunde also made tea at this moment, brought it over and put it on the coffee table. Lin Yunqi also came and sat down, then took out a letter and handed it to Lin Cunde: "I asked someone to bring it here from my hometown. Hey, your grandfather and my cousin, I guess I’m in trouble!”

"Ah?" When Lin Cunde heard this, he looked at Lin Yunqi in shock, then quickly took the envelope and looked at it carefully.

Seeing this, Lin Cunde also sighed. Lin Cunde's grandfather, who is 65 this year, received the letter he wrote. Originally, the uncle and the others were going to leave the next day, but that night, his grandfather fell ill and could not afford it.

Originally, the uncle and the others wanted to wait a few days for my grandfather to feel better before coming to the capital, but my grandfather's condition did not improve and he kept chanting his father's name. '

In this way, the uncle and the others were delayed in their departure to the capital.

"Cunde, please listen to your uncle's advice. Why don't you go back to your hometown? Maybe my uncle will be happy when he sees you coming back and his illness will be cured!" Lin Yunqi said to Lin Cunde.

"Yes, yes, I will pack my things and go back now!" Lin Cunde said and wanted to go back. In his memory, there was the figure of his grandfather. His grandfather was a kind old man. Every time he came to the capital, he would hold hands with his two brothers. Human hands go to the street to buy food.

As he spoke, Lin Cunde opened the door and was about to call Grandpa Yang to prepare, but when he thought, it couldn't be done, so he turned around, looked at Li Yunqi and said, "Uncle, it may not be possible. In a few days, His Majesty will entertain the family members of civil servants and generals who sacrificed their lives in Tumubao. And, and!”

"And what?" After hearing this, Lin Yunqi looked at Lin Cunde in confusion. If it was just a banquet and there was something urgent at home, he could just go to the Ministry of Rites and report it in advance. '

"Furthermore, His Majesty wants to see me! Uncle, you also know that my fiancée is the Queen's biological sister, so His Majesty specially sent someone to inform me and asked me to go there early that day!" Lin Cunde stood there, very embarrassed. I want to go, but His Majesty summons me. If I don’t go, it will be troublesome.

"What should we do? How about you go back after the banquet is over?" Lin Yunqi was also a little anxious. Although Lin Cunde was not the eldest grandson, he was still a grandson, and Lin Xiangfeng was the only son of his uncle who was an official.

My cousin has always been proud of Lin Xiangfeng. Now that Lin Xiangfeng is gone, if he can see Lin Cunde, his grandson, he will probably feel better.

"That's the only way, clan uncle, my letter is to my uncle, and I specifically mentioned in the letter, don't let your grandparents know, don't let your grandparents know, tell them slowly, otherwise they won't be able to accept it! Eh! , why can't you hide it?" Lin Cunde was also helpless, he was worried about this.

"How to hide it? Your uncle and your father have a very good relationship. Your uncle was already very strong before he fell. When your father was studying, it was your uncle who made money outside to support him. He finally became an official. Such a thing, eh!" Lin Yunqi also sighed.

Lin Cunde could only return to his seat, lowered his head and nodded. Over the years, his father also sent a lot of money back to his uncle to buy property in his hometown, which made the family's life better.

My father was in the capital, and he had secretly entered into a business partnership with someone before, but he withdrew the business before leaving for the war.

"Child, go back in a few days!" Lin Yunqi patted Lin Cunde on the shoulder and said.

"Yeah!" Lin Cunde nodded, hating Zhu Qizhen in his heart. He was so deceptive. His family was fine, but Zhu Qizhen tortured him like this.

Lin Yunqi was also sitting there, not knowing how to persuade Lin Cunde. He also knew that Lin Cunde had endured too much during this period, and could not say anything except sighing.

"By the way, how many days are you going to meet His Majesty?" Lin Yunqi asked Lin Cunde,
Lin Cunde raised his head and said, "That's what the notice said. Who knows if we can see it?"

"Well, by the way, how will your future father-in-law treat you?" Lin Yunqi thought of this and looked at Lin Cunde and asked. "It's good. I'm grateful to him for taking care of me during this period!" Lin Cunde said, and it was true.

"That's good. I heard that the Queen Mother is now in sole control of the harem, and the Queen Mother is almost under house arrest. The Queen Mother is capable, and you are his sister-in-law, and your future will be very bright. However, all this depends on your father-in-law's wishes.
Now, with your family in such a good situation, I'm worried that when the marriage changes, you have to know how many people want to have this kind of relationship. You and Wang Ying's daughter are just engaged, not married yet, so Cunde, if Wang Ying Ying comes here, how flattering you are, do you know? Lin Yunqi reminded Lin Cunde and said.

Lin Cunde nodded lightly. There should be no need to worry about this now. Wang Ying will not know his own value. Besides, Wang Ying is probably not capable of such a thing.

"Remember, and I heard that someone is already making this idea!" Lin Yunqi continued to stare at Lin Cunde and said.

"Ah?" Lin Cunde was surprised and turned to look at Lin Yunqi.

"Someone has already gone to Wang Quan, and Wang Quan also said that Wang Ying's second daughter needs to choose a new son-in-law!" Lin Yunqi looked at Lin Cunde anxiously and said.

"Oh, it doesn't matter. You know, the relationship between Shibo and Wang Quan is not good. Wang Quan's words may not be useful!" Lin Cunde said with a forced smile when he heard that Wang Quan had spoken.

Lin Yunqi looked at Lin Cunde helplessly at this moment and said: "You kid, why don't you understand? We are a family. How can Wang Ying not listen to Wang Quan?"

At this moment, Grandpa Yang knocked on the door: "Master, Master Wang is here!"

"Ah, uncle, rest here while I go outside to take a look!" Lin Cunde could only stand up after hearing this. Lin Yunqi also stood up and said, "I'll go take a look too!"

Lin Cunde didn't stop him. After all, this was a clan uncle. He and his father were the same old man. As soon as Lin Cunde left the study door, he saw Wang Ying entering the living room.

Lin Cunde quickly raised his hands and said, "Shibo!"

"Hahaha, come on, come on!" Wang Ying was very happy and waved to the back. She saw a young woman wearing a brand new green and dark flower cloud crane dress, with a silver hairpin in her head, and a pair of brand new shoes on her feet. Crested shoes.

After the woman saw Lin Cunde, she lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde didn't understand what this scene meant?Why did Wang Ying bring a girl here, and Lin Cunde estimated that this girl was twenty-nine years old.

"Nephew, go in, go in!" Wang Yingke didn't care about Lin Cunde's questions, but she was very happy to let Lin Cunde go to the study.

Before Lin Cunde could react, Wang Ying spotted Lin Yunqi behind Lin Cunde, so she quickly raised her hands and said, "Hey, we have a guest, you, you are, you are Xiangfeng's clan brother, your name is Lin Yunqi, right?"

Wang Ying had met him several times before, but we didn't have a close relationship with him.

"Master Wang has a good memory! I have met Master Wang before!" Lin Yunqi was very curious, but still saluted.

"You're welcome, my family, you don't need to be so polite. Let's go to Cunde's study to talk!" Wang Ying still said with a smile.

Soon, Lin Cunde took them to the study room, and the girl followed.

When Lin Cunde was preparing to make tea, the woman put down her baggage and said quickly: "Come here, slave!"

"This is inappropriate..."

"Good nephew, let Qiu Shuang make tea. Come and sit down!" Wang Ying greeted Lin Cunde with a smile.
Lin Cunde looked at Wang Ying, then at the woman named Qiu Shuang, and with questions, sat down next to Wang Ying.

Wang Ying doesn't care what Lin Yunqi is here for. For Wang Ying, Lin Yunqi is not enough to look at in front of him. Instead, she looks at Lin Cunde happily and says: "My dear nephew, Qiu Shuang is Chun'er's personal maid, and she is also preparing to get married as a dowry." Maid, I didn’t think well before, and was scolded by your aunt. Today, I sent this girl over to be your bed-warming maid, to take care of your daily life, so that you don’t even have a serving maid by your side! "

"Ah!" Lin Cunde and Lin Yunqi both looked at Wang Ying in surprise.

"Why are you so surprised, nephew? I'm worried that no one will take care of you. What should I do if you get sick? With this maid here, I, your aunt, and Chun'er can rest assured!" Wang Yingxiao He patted Lin Cunde on the shoulder and said.

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Lin Cunde never dreamed that his father-in-law would send him a maid as a dowry in the future.

And Lin Yunqi never thought about what kind of operation this was, and that there was such a thing as sending a dowry maid in advance. So, Wang Ying was very satisfied with Lin Cunde?If he is very satisfied, then Lin Cunde's future will be much easier than theirs.

Lin Cunde's fiancée is the queen's biological sister. Who wouldn't envy this relationship?
Lin Yunqi looked at Lin Cunde differently now. He really didn't expect that Lin Cunde would be so popular with Wang Ying, and there was nothing special about Lin Cunde's appearance?Moreover, he still looks very thin!
