Chapter 1: Princely Family Affairs

On the eve of the Lantern Festival, Lin Jian signed a Privy Council decree to lift the curfew in Jiangning, which means that Jiangning officially ended the military control that lasted for more than a month and returned to normalcy.

Lin Jian originally thought that this year's Wuxiao Festival, Jiangning would be much more deserted than in previous years, but he did not expect that after a short period of war, chaos and a month and a half of military control, the people in the city would burst into unprecedented enthusiasm.

Although the preparation time is insufficient, from the revocation of the street cleaning order to the Lantern Festival night, but only one day, but in just one day, the lights and candles, colored paper, colored silk and other things in the city are all sold out, after nightfall, strings of colorful lanterns like stars are hung out along the street; The lion dances, costumes and other outfits that have been hidden in the depths of the experience, and they have no time to wash them, so they are all put on and walk through the streets and alleys in groups to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

At night, the streets are full of people.

Gu Junxun, Liu Yue'er and other female dependents also arrived in Jiangning by boat before the Lantern Festival and lived in Chen Yuan, which had just been given to the Imperial Chongguo Mansion.

When having a banquet with the officials, listening to the excitement outside, Lin Jian was also quite moved, holding the table with his hand, and said: "Over the years, it is rare to encounter such a lively, I really want to go out for a walk and review the scenery in Jiangning City......" and said to Qian Xiaowu, the head of the inner government, "You sent someone to ask the ladies, do you want to go out to breathe?" ”

Lin Jian said this, the people under the banquet pricked up their ears, Zhou Pu sat there with a big cold, Gao Zongting said: "The displaced people in the city have not all been dismissed, and the stricter household registration inventory has not yet had time to be launched, even if Chen Ruyi and Han Bin are tortured, and dozens of secret rooms are searched, but Jiangning has been in chaos for a while, who knows how many luxury families and Yanyu's hidden piles are hidden in the city, this street and alley are full of people, and it is really difficult to take care of the guards......

"Liu Zhi was assassinated once, and you all made a lot of noise, how many assassins can there be in the city?" Lin Jian said with a smile.

"If the lord wants to go to the streets, it's okay, there are fewer people in Dongcheng," Chen Enze sat down at the table, and said to Gao Zongting, "I'm afraid that I will draw people from the forbidden camp to clean the streets!" ”

"Okay," Zhou Pu said in a loud voice, "which street do you want to play, I'm going to send someone to close the street!" ”

"You're all a bunch of bad guys!" Lin Jian said with a wry smile, he wanted to have fun with the people and travel to Jiangning at night, so he poured a basin of cold water on Zhou Pu and the others, and naturally couldn't raise his interest at this time, and said, "If I go back to complain after this party, it will be all your fault." ”

During the Lantern Festival, Lin Jian did not leave everyone to sit for a long time, and the banquet was dispersed early, so that everyone went back to their homes to reunite with their families.

Qian Xiaowu came over and said, "The old lady is here, and she will have a banquet with the ladies in the back!" ”

Gu Siyuan went to Mindong and made up for the post of Yongtai Zhixian, but the conditions in Mindong were difficult, so he left his wife in Jiangning, and this trip also moved to Jiangning with the old lady Tang Gu.

Facing Tang Gu's family, Lin Jian was also a little guilty and angry, but he couldn't avoid it, and said to Qian Xiaowu: "This is a big holiday, you and Yun Niang should go back, and there is no need to arrange too many people in the house to take care of it in the future...... " He left everyone and walked to the inner courtyard.

As the Guogong Mansion, Chen Yuan encircles the back alley, there are six depths before and after, the east and west five groups of courtyards are combined, and there are more than 100 large huts, which is also the official system of the Guogong Mansion. The middle garden is an amusement garden covering an area of five acres, and the east garden and the north garden have their own private gardens, and there are curved ponds, culverts and the north of the Longzang Inner Pool.

The Privy Council chose another place, Chen Yuan except for the front yard set aside as a public hall, so that Lin can handle official business in the house, set up guards and library rooms and other institutions, the other houses are all inner houses, the house is deep and wide, quite a feeling that the Hou Gate is as deep as the sea.

Tonight, Chen Yuan is also lit up, for Gu, Liu, Sun, and Su Zhunu, they just came to Jiangning, and everything in Chen Yuan is also new to them.

Lin Jian walked into the east garden where the ladies had a banquet, and the banquet was still going on, but he didn't imagine it to be lively.

In addition to the daughters, Tang Gu brought his daughter-in-law and grandson over for a banquet, Liu Yue'er's mother and sister-in-law were also there, Song Jia, Gu Yingsleeve, and Shan Rou were also there, plus a group of naughty children, and three tables were also set up in the hall.

All the girls came to their side, and Lin Jian was also satisfied, if there were any regrets, one was that Liu Miaozhen wanted to guard Xuzhou, and the other was that Gu Yingsleeve and Shan Rou could not live in Chen Yuan publicly.

Lin Jian walked into the warm pavilion to greet Tang Gu's family, there were foreign dependents, men and women were not at the same table, Lin Jian asked someone to bring a chair next to him and sit down, listening to Tang Gu's instructions. The grievance is early, and filial piety still has to be respected.

"We're talking about Zhengjun and Xiaoxin's enrollment," Gu Yingsleeve sat next to Tang Gu's family, watching Lin Jian sit there embarrassed, and said on the topic, "You have to come up with an idea about this matter......

Lin Lian thought to himself that when he came in, it was not as lively as he imagined, could it be that this matter was stiffened? He glanced up at Song Jia, but Song Jia's eyes looked at the fruit cup in front of him and ignored him; Liu Yue'er's mother's face was also cold.

Although the wives and concubines of the current world are strictly separated, but to the status of Lin Bin, in addition to Gu Junxun as the main room canonized as the county monarch, Liu Miaozhen has military merits in the body and is named the lady of the country, Su Mei, Liu Yue'er, Sun Wenwan, and Xiaoman as concubines have also been officially sealed.

Although the status is much lower than that of the county monarch and the county lady, in the current era of concubines and servants, the concubine has a seal, which means that the heirs also have the protection of identity and status, which is substantially different.

Although Lin Jian treats all children equally, the traditional power is difficult to change in a short period of time, and it is inevitable that there will be discussions about the concubines.

After all, Zhengjun is one year younger than Lin Xin, and besides, the women in the world are virtuous if they are not talented, and there is no problem in enrolling in a few years later, and it is Lin Xin who is in a hurry to enroll - but Lin Xin is a concubine, and there is no reason in this world to set up a western seat for concubines.

Lin Jian sorted out the situation here in a blink of an instant, most likely because Mother Liu proposed Lin Xin's enrollment during the banquet and blocked Tang Gu's back, which made this scene cold. Gu Yingsleeve was not afraid of Tang Gu's family, and directly raised this matter in front of him.

Gu Junxun has not given birth to any other heirs over the years except Zhengjun, even if Gu Junxun is simple-minded, but the old lady Tang Gu will inevitably have the worry of passing on to other families behind her back. It's no wonder that Lin Gu's split ended in a fiasco in Qingzhou, and Tang Gu's family had no other thoughts, and they were afraid that their daughter would be bullied by others in the future. Especially last year, Liu Yue'er, Sun Wenwan, and Xiaoman gave birth to two daughters and a son for Lin Lian.

The best way is to follow the tradition to prevent Lin Xin and other concubines from enrolling in school, and if there is no talent to learn, it is naturally impossible to continue Lin Lian's family business. Even if Gu Junxun has no heirs, it is possible to pass by.

"I just told Qian Xiaowu about enrollment," Lin Jian said nonsense, "In a few days, there will be a special Meng School in Jiangning City." The naughty and naughty children of all families who do not listen to education, regardless of gender, are all sent to study when they are old, so as not to stay in the house to torture the nerves of adults, and there is no special seat in the house. ”

"There is no difference between male and female babies?" Tang Gu asked.

"It doesn't make a difference, if you enter the church at the age of six, there's no problem in advance, but you have to read it for nine years before you can come out," Lin Jian said, "but after nine years, the deacon is still early, and what books to read is another way." However, these issues have to be discussed with the Zong Ting and Mengde Sect every few days. What I mean is that there should be a comprehensive school for each of the districts, so that the young children can attend it, but the cost is a big problem. Like those schools in Chongzhou, a total of three or four hundred thousand taels of silver must be allocated every year to support them, and every county can do it, whether they can bear it or not, it's hard to say now......"

When it comes to these political affairs, Tang Gu's family is in the dark, but Lin Lian's attitude is there, and she can't forcibly prevent Lin Xin from enrolling in school.

Lin Lian turned his head again and said to Gu Junxun: "You come to Jiangning, the Queen Mother has a reward, and in two days, you can lead the Zhengjun into the palace to thank you......" Lin Lian didn't want to treat other children badly, but there was no distinction between the concubines and concubines, and there was no peace in this inner house, especially the old ladies were not fuel-efficient lamps.

Asked Jun Xun to lead the monarch into the palace to thank him, that is to say, whatever reward the heir has, it will all go to the head of the monarch, and put out the fire in the inner courtyard first.

After saying these words, Lin Tie hid inside, and waited for the old ladies and relatives to leave after a banquet before Lin Tie showed his face.

After fighting abroad all these years, it is rare to reunite with his family, Lin Xin and Zhengjun are also strangers to him, the two daughters and one son who were just born last year have just arrived in Jiangning in the past two days, and they cried loudly in their arms, so that Lin Lian could only stand aside and look at the teasing little face, and said to Gu Junxun and them: "The old ladies have nothing to do, how to toss with them, don't you get in; If their brothers and sisters become enemies in the future, or even fight each other, why should I work so hard to calculate? ”

"We can also save these things," Gu Junxun said, "My mother just loves to be idle, and I won't listen to her ......."

"Traditionally, a son is established," Lin Jian took Zhengjun to his knees, touched her little face, and said with a smile, "If Zhengjun grows up and has a career, why not have a female prince in the world?" ”

"That's shocking," Gu Junxun said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, husband. ”

"I think it's okay," Su Mei said with a smile, "Mrs. Qian Guo led the troops to fight, which man is worse?" I really want to have a female princess, but I have more ambition for our daughter......"

Lin Lian has always been assertive, and when he was in his prime, the old ladies were tossing around, and Su Mei and the others didn't have too many ideas about the future - thinking about Su Mei, no one was a wife and concubine for Lin Lian simply by looking at her appearance.

All the women have just come to Jiangning, eager to stay and fly with Lin Bin, but there is still a difference between wives and concubines, and in the first three days, they naturally have to be monopolized by the main room, and no matter how lovesick the concubine room is, they can only endure it. Fortunately, Lin Jian has been hiding in the house for the past two days, and he is also in the front yard to deal with any official business, and he is not free at night, and he can also prostitute himself during the day.

At night, the daughters took their children and daughters to rest, and the monarch also asked the maid to take them to rest, and Lin Tie rested in the king's room.

After tossing on Jun Xun's body as warm as jade and soft as cotton, Lin Jian told her to lie on her body, greedily touched her full and slippery fragrance/buttocks, and said to her: "Outsiders say that I am a wolf ambition, don't think nonsense in the inner house, just be cautious in your words and deeds outside......"

Jun Xun endured the strange hand of Lin Tie scratching between his buttocks, greasy and greasy, and said angrily: "Say things, just talk about things, don't move your hands, if you move again, you will be driven out." The sixth lady and the seventh lady said that they have something to discuss with you, why don't you go and discuss it now? "The matter of men and women, women are lying down, and it is also a very physically demanding thing, Jun Xun is in the deep house all day long, and he is amused, but where can he withstand a few struggles in a night?

Lin Jian smiled cheekily, he didn't get the opportunity to be alone with Yingsleeve and Shan Rou in the past two days.
