Blessed wife descends from heaven

Chapter 256

"Good good."

However, before the emperor ordered someone to go to Taoshuwan and Zhangji Zhuangzi to check what Lin Baozhu said, another person jumped out.

"Your Majesty, the words of Mrs. Protector are all based on her own words. Who knows if they are fabricated for reward and to deceive the Holy Grace." This time it was Mr. Lin himself who spoke, and he clasped his hands and said righteously. "The matter of Nongsang has always been the top priority. If it is delayed because of her selfishness, I'm afraid it will violate the emperor's holy will."

Seeing that the Minister of Taichang Temple, who had never made any achievements in the court, actually came forward, the emperor could not help but pause, then squinted his eyes and glanced at Mr. Yue, who was related to him by marriage.After a short pause, he handed over the wooden box in his hand to Zhang Lai who was next to him to keep it safe, then smiled and said lightly, "Then what is Lin Aiqing's intention?"

"Your Majesty thinks this matter is strange, so please don't be deceived by others. Although Duke Huguo is a great talent, his wife is just a merchant girl. How can he have such ability to make Tianxia Jiahe turn over? What's more , The deserted land in the north of Mobei is full of Gobi desert. Since ancient times, I have never heard of anyone who can grow food there. Now, Mrs. Hu Guogong is talking nonsense about what kind of sandy rice she has planted in the desert. Could it be that your majesty is benevolent? It's easy to deceive." Master Lin's words were upright, and it seemed that he was not biased.And the whole person is also a selfless and dedicated to the public.In fact, he really didn't believe it. How could he not know how to be an official after he has been in the officialdom for a long time?If it was true what Lin Baozhu said, then the local officials would have been impatient to report to the imperial court to find the high-yield Jiahe for the performance assessment, so why should they keep their political achievements for a woman?

Furthermore, even if this happened, he must not let Zhang Mandun and Lin Baozhu show off at the moment.It needs to be known that the two are a husband and wife, and Zhang Mandun is His Highness the Crown Prince's capable fighter, if the two of them get more achievements, they can only add honor to His Highness the Crown Prince.There will be great obstacles in getting things done with His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince.

So after thinking about it for a while, he could only get past the crowd and speak first to suppress Lin Baozhu's complacency.In addition, it was also for the sake of showing his face in front of the fifth prince. You must know that for the weight of the Yue family, the fifth prince did acquiesce in him being his henchman, and even sent a message in secret that as long as he can show his value, he will be promised to the prostitute of the Lin family. It is not difficult for a prince and side concubine.

As for why she is the side concubine and not the fifth prince's concubine, Mrs. Lin really knows it herself. Now the reputation of the first daughter Lin Yanran is already notorious, and many people can't avoid it.It is absolutely impossible to be a concubine.But it's not a problem, as long as the fifth prince can ascend to the throne, his own daughter can at least be named one of the four concubines as a side concubine.

At that time, who would dare to underestimate him?If you are lucky, once your daughter gives birth to Lin'er, maybe she will still have a place in the court.At that time, he was not only a relative of the emperor, but perhaps he could also benefit from his relatives.

Thinking about the future, the uneasiness in his heart was suppressed by his ambition.

It's a pity that Lin Baozhu raised the corner of her mouth slightly on one side, took a step forward, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, my wife still has something to say."

Hearing Lin Baozhu speak again, the emperor's complexion improved slightly, and he said kindly, "Madam Protector, but it's okay to say."

"The minister once said that all activities of Zhang Ji should be recorded, and if there are major achievements, they must be witnessed by the local government. First, no matter how Zhang Ji develops, it is the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Second, it is the minister's wife to prevent Just in case, the rules are set." Lin Baozhu cleared his throat, glanced sideways at Master Lin, and continued, "If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can send someone to check the grain stocks in various properties of Zhang Ji, or he can find Mr. Zhang. Take the record book to record the affairs, and the local government also has records."

Regarding this, the entire court probably never thought of it.And the emperor did the same. He first glanced at Lin Baozhu in surprise, then smiled, waved and sent people to Taoshuwan overnight, and then ordered his confidantes to go to Zhangji's various property villages to inspect in person.

But at this time, who would not believe Lin Baozhu's words?
As for what Mr. Lin said, after careful consideration, there is some truth to it.It's just a loss. He has just surrendered to the fifth prince, but he has not yet won the trust of the fifth prince, so the fifth prince will naturally hide many things from him.

You must know that the fifth prince is in charge of the household assessment and other matters at the moment, and it is not that there is no memorial to report to the local officials about Zhang Ji's grain harvest.However, the fifth prince knew that if this matter was brought before the emperor, it would undoubtedly give the prince another prestige benefit.Simply, he suppressed the news on his own, only thinking about sending people to various places in the next year to find a way to intercept Zhang Ji's credit.

But he didn't want to, he thought well, but he didn't know that Lin Baozhu appeared on the way.Mr. Lin, who seemed to be quite safe, unexpectedly showed up at this time.

In fact, it is no wonder that some people still have doubts. After all, there were not many merchants like Lin Baozhu who raised many researchers.Even if there are, there are very few masters supported by merchants, and most of the masters supported by businesses are related to their own industries and businesses, not like Lin Baozhu. As long as people have ideas, no matter what industry or object, they can toss about.

In this way, Lin Baozhu followed Zhang Ji to completely open up the thinking and thinking of Goushengjiu. The so-called wisdom of the masses is infinite.Later generations developed hybrid rice, isn't Zhang Ji also producing a similar variety now?Of course, she is not a professional, and she does not understand the difference between the two varieties, but she knows that this object can benefit the common people.

"Your Majesty, although my wife is not a saint, she also knows some simple truths. Now I don't dare to take credit for the gifts that my wife gave, because those are the achievements of the people in Taoshuwan. At best, my wife is giving They just provided some convenience." After speaking, Lin Baozhu saluted again.

This time, not only the upper three tycoons smiled and nodded in satisfaction, but even many civil servants and wives sitting below couldn't help but sigh with emotion.In all fairness, if they were waiting for such a great contribution, Mrs. Hu Guogong could simply push it out, but if it was them, maybe they would be so excited that they would be willing to send it to others?

I really don't know if Mrs. Hu Guogong is stupid or too kind, and looking at the Hu Guogong who has been silent all the time, not only is she not angry, she even doesn't change her expression.Doesn't he know that his wife's refusal is due to what kind of credit?

No matter what other people guessed in their hearts, anyway, after the emperor gave the order at this moment, he praised him a few times and rewarded him directly.Even Xiao Shengrui, who was hugged by Nanny Liu beside her, got the auspicious beast jade pendant and the gluttonous seven treasure dagger from the emperor's private treasury because of the joy of the dragon's heart.And the eldest girl next to her was Zhang Jinruo, who was praised by the Empress Dowager and Empress Empress for her wisdom and reason, and then the two women who were the mother of the world bestowed jade pendants and other things on her head.

Lin Baozhu took the two children and bowed their knees to salute. After thanking her, she sat back on the seat with her man again.

The next pilgrimage could be said to be uneventful, but almost everyone knew in their hearts that with the annual ceremonies of the Duke Protector and his wife, no matter how expensive they were, they would not be able to win the eyes of the emperor and the empress dowager.Later, the embroidery of the Wanzi Fu presented by Mrs. Xu San barely managed to get a compliment from the Queen Mother.

As for Lin Baozhu, who sat on the seat and was taken care of by her men, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows at the moment. She remembered that Xu San's wife was also a peasant woman, simple and kind.Although his appearance is not handsome, he is hardworking and down-to-earth.But this one in front of her, with delicate skin and tender flesh, looks like a flowery face, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like Xu San's original partner.

"Daughter-in-law, don't look at it. Last year, after he was promoted to the general of the guard army, he married the daughter of Mr. Li, a member of the Ministry of Industry, as his wife. And his first wife took his son and made him the youngest." Zhang Mandun showed disgust, but refused Say more.

It is said that Xu San and his colleagues would brag about their beautiful wives and concubines every time they were full of wine and food.But the original partner didn't even mention it. Occasionally when the brothers who fought against the Huns together on the battlefield asked about it, he also looked disgusted and his words were very vulgar.He even said that if it wasn't for his kindness, he would have divorced the woman long ago, and he would not let her eat more in the mansion.

Not to mention that a wretched wife should not be abandoned, even for the sake of his original wife who gave birth to his children and took care of his old mother, he shouldn't be so contemptuous.

The so-called different ways do not conspire with each other, not to mention that Zhang Mantun looks down on people like Xu San who are ungrateful when they get some power.Over time, he, Liu Zi and others, and Xu San also lost contact with each other, and until now they have hardly spoken to each other.

I heard Zhu Neng mention it a few times, right now Xu San is quite appreciated by the fifth prince, it is the time of the spring breeze, and he is not proud of calling friends and friends every day.But those have nothing to do with him.

With the Jiahe seeds presented by Lin Baozhu, the emperor still had no time to stay at the banquet. After the queen mother found an excuse to say that she was a little tired and took the people away, the emperor also found a reason to leave with the queen because she was a little drunk.As for the rest of the people, they had their own minds and didn't care to watch the singing and dancing behind, so the palace banquet just ended.

All the wives and ministers knelt down to send off the emperor and left, and only in twos and threes walked out of the Zhengyuan Hall.But at this time, there were obviously many more noble ladies around Lin Baozhu, and the ladies who had been friends with the Lin family and the Yue family quietly staggered their steps without showing any signs.

At this time, Xu Shi, many people could see that Mr. Yue's complexion was not good-looking, and naturally several officials who had been impeached by him made sarcasm.It's not that he doesn't know how to behave, in fact, he can be said to be the emperor's trusted person, he is the emperor's eyeliner, he has never made mistakes in his daily actions, and he has never stood in line among the princes, which is why he is valued by the emperor.But he didn't want his son-in-law's performance today to label him as the party of the five princes.

It doesn't matter if you offend His Highness the Crown Prince, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of the emperor.If his position is suspected by the emperor, then his official career will come to an end.
