In late spring in March, the spring breeze is beautiful, the willows are beginning to spit green, and the river is like smoke, which is the best time of the year. In Bianliang, Tokyo, the city is full of men, women and children who go out of the city to enjoy the flowers and go out, which is very lively.

In the Xu Mansion in the west of the city, it is a different scene.

Since buying this house, the Xu family's family business has been blown up. Although there has been no sugar business in recent years, relying only on a few wineries, Zhongmu's pastoral has been operating for several years, and it has reached the time of harvest, and the annual income is only a lot more than when the sugar shop was operated.

This small house is also cleaned up every year, and now the carved beams and painted buildings, the flowers and trees are sparse, and there is a bit of wealth. Xu Ping's official rank has entered the sequence of middle-level officials, and the pattern is not the same as before.

In the living room, Su Er accompanied Lin Suniang to gossip, and in the courtyard outside, Xu Zheng and Zhang Sanniang were teasing Panpan and Li Zhang's eldest son Heihu.

When Su Er gave birth to the black tiger, there happened to be a big black cat lying outside the house, and he couldn't get rid of it, so he gave the black cat this name. The black tiger is a few years younger than Panpan, and he doesn't understand everything, so he grabs the corner of her clothes all the time.

Looking outside the door, Su Er asked Lin Suniang in a low voice: "You have been collecting precious medicinal materials for the past two days, I don't know if there is a suitable one?" I have some at home, but they are not in my room, so I will bring them to you tomorrow. ”

Lin Suniang shook her head: "No need, what I want now is a treasure of heaven and earth, and I know the situation in your family, where are these things?" In the past two days, I told Xu Chang to go out and search all over the city, no matter how much money he spent, as long as it was useful, he bought it home, and I don't know if he found anything. ”

Su Er said: "I'm afraid it's not easy, since the emperor's edict came down, as long as it is a rich family, who is not fighting this idea?" Although the Xu family now has a small property, it may not be as good as those big families. ”

Lin Suniang sighed: "I had to try my luck." I really didn't have it, so I had to offer some of the Lingnan medicinal materials that Da Yang had sent home in the past two years. However, most of these are tributes, and the nature in the palace is more than mine, and it is better than mine, so the weight is not enough. ”

Now the Xu family is all headed by Lin Suniang, and Xu Zheng and Zhang Sanniang only occasionally take care of some chores. When I was free, all my thoughts were on my granddaughter Panpan.

After a few years, Lin Suniang has already taken off the childishness that Xu Ping still had when she left, and has been in charge of the huge family business for many years, mature and stable, and her temperament is also a little more solemn.

After a few words of gossip, Su Er said: "Actually, the people in my family said that they did not approve of you offering medicinal materials to the imperial court. Lang Jun is only waiting for the decree, and there is no sin. Maybe going down to the court is a promotion. Now you are offering medicinal herbs to find contacts, but it makes people look at it differently. ”

Lin Suniang smiled bitterly: "I hope that he will be judged guilty before, and this amnesty, all the crimes will be gone." Now such a waiting order, on the contrary, it is not up or down, and people have no clue. ”

Su'er sighed.

Lin Suniang said again: "I am also in a hurry to go to the doctor, there is no way." Now the person who goes to deliver the message to Dalang is to the Jinghu area. If the court changes its mind, the fast horse can still catch up. Nature's dedication. ”

Su Er looked at Xu Zheng and his wife outside the house, and saw that they were teasing the two children happily, so she approached Lin Suniang's side and whispered: "Actually, although the father-in-law of the family didn't say it explicitly, I think he really doesn't think about you looking for medicinal materials." Today we sisters speak. Don't tell outsiders about it. ”

Lin Suniang said: "If you have something to say, I watched you grow up and get married, and you don't know my temperament!" ”

Su Er whispered: "I listen to the meaning of my father-in-law's words, the Queen Mother is too sick this time, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive." Lang Jun suffered this time. I heard that it was all the intention of the Empress Dowager Liu, and she thought that he did not listen to the orders of the Privy Council in Lingnan and acted without authorization, causing a lot of trouble to the court. However, on the emperor's side, and several ministers in the court, they still returned to protect the king, so it was just a matter of waiting for the order. ”

Lin Suniang looked at Su Er, and said with a serious face: "Are you not coaxing me with this?" ”

"How dare I? It's true, what my father-in-law means is that you don't do anything at home, wait quietly, as long as the Queen Mother goes, naturally all the dark clouds will disperse. ”

Speaking of this, Su Er looked around cautiously again, and said timidly: "Although our sisters speak in private, when it comes to this, I am still afraid in my heart. ”

Lin Su Niang said: "There are no outsiders at home, what are you afraid of." ”

As he spoke, he pondered in his heart whether he wanted to listen to Su'er.

In mid-March, the court issued a decree to remove Xu Ping's various ministers, and Lin Suniang got the news within a few days, and she was anxious. Today's Xu Ping can be regarded as a promising young man, with a great future, his family is rich in money, Lin Suniang understands human accidents, and has more or less connections in Beijing.

But after all, it is a woman's body, and her eyelids are still shallow, which is related to her husband's future.

Yesterday, March 25, the Empress Dowager Liu's condition suddenly deteriorated, and the little emperor who was in a hurry announced an amnesty to the world, and at the same time ordered all localities to recruit famous doctors to Beijing, and those who could cure the Empress Dowager's illness were rewarded without hesitation. In addition to personnel, he also turned to ghosts and gods, and along with doctors, famous Taoist monks and monks also spread propaganda into Beijing.

When Lin Suniang got the news, she grabbed the life-saving straw, sent all the people in the family out, bought precious medicinal materials all over the city, and wanted to dedicate them to the palace to ask for a future for Xu Ping. Originally, I was lucky that Xu Ping was just waiting for the order and did not have a clear crime, but at this time, I wished that Xu Ping's crime had been convicted before, and when I encountered this unprecedented amnesty, I would be pardoned for any crime, and I could start again.

Li Yonghe, who knew what Lin Su Niang did, disapproved of very much, but couldn't say it clearly, so he told Su Er. What is the relationship between Su'er and Lin Suniang? As soon as he got the news, he rushed to Xu's house.

At this time, Li Yonghe was no longer the junior military attache of the year, except that the status of the military minister was slightly lower, and it was really similar to Xu Ping's official rank, and he had an identity. Although he is just doing idle work, in the end, he is a relative, so naturally there are a group of people with similar identities mixed with him. Even the current Li Zhang has also graced the three classes of official ranks, and officially has an official body.

Knowing that Li Yonghe has a wide range of sources now, Lin Suniang can't help but think carefully about what he means. Especially that sentence, the Queen Mother is afraid that she will not be able to hold on, which makes Lin Suniang think about it.

At that time, Xu Ping was still white, and when he was farming in Zhongmu, he did not deal with the relatives of the queen mother. Later, the first-class jinshi of high school, or the queen mother made a stumbling block, and sent to Lingnan in one sentence. Pity the two newlywed Yan'er, staying together for a few months, they were separated, and in a blink of an eye, it was six years.

If the Queen Mother really can't stand it, will Xu Ping come to Jitai? Is it okay to wait with peace of mind?

Lin Suniang propped her chin and thought about it for a while. (To be continued.) )
