Nineteen, one person is enlightened

The moon on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month has just risen. The cold moon is hazy, not as bright as the summer and autumn moon, but it reflects the white snow, just like a glazed world.

Zhou Xuan and Lin Dai rode together, answering Lin Dai's questions, and occasionally glanced at Lin Hanyun.

Lin Hanyun rode a yellow horse, with a man's outfit under the blue cloak, a silk fish bag around her waist, and a wooden gold-decorated ritual knife. She was just combed into a bun with her hair in a back-and-woven bun. She must have heard the news of Zhou Xuan's arrival and quickly changed into men's outfit and followed Lin Dai.

Lin Hanyun looked at Zhou Xuan with big eyes for a moment, and her little mouth was stuttering. She wanted to talk to Zhou Xuan, but her father was talking to Zhou Xuan, so she didn't dare to interrupt.

Lin Hanyun's expression was seen in his eyes, and he exchanged a few greetings with Zhou Xuan and said with a smile: "Hanyun wants to talk to you, she is waiting outside the east gate twice a day." After that, he pulled his horse back and spoke to his nephew and great-grandson Lin Heishan.

Lin Hanyun looked at Zhou Xuan and pouted, "Brother Zhou Xuan, you seem to have lost weight?"

Zhou Xuan said: "Yes, first, the Southern Han Dynasty traveled nearly ten thousand miles, but now I come to Jiangzhou to see you, and I encountered heavy snow again. It's hard to walk."

Unexpectedly, Lin Hanyun asked: "Brother Zhou Xuan, didn't you send Princess Qingle to Nanhan to get married? Why did you marry your own mansion?"

Zhou Xuan looked at Lin Hanyun's bright eyes, said twice, "Hehe" and said, "Isn't this fun together?"

Lin Hanyun is seventeen years old in the new year, but she is still quite ignorant about men and women. She is still jealous. She is not upset anyway. Seeing Zhou Xuan coming in like this, she is so happy. And after Judge Fan said that Zhou Hou asked Zhou Xuan to postpone his bride in Jiangzhou. Zhou Xuan refused to break his promise. Lin Hanyun was so moved that she ran to Baiyunguan and hugged her sister and cried.

Lin Hanyun did not pursue Zhou Xuan's marriage first. He looked at Zhou Xuan's mount and shouted: "Ah, my 'Yun Zhonghe' is so skinny!"

Zhou Xuan said: "I went to Nanhan, thanks to the 'Yun Zhonghe', I was caught in Fuzhou, Wuyue, and Fuzhou. Fortunately, the 'Yun Zhonghe' ran fast, otherwise I would not have come to Jiangzhou to see you."

Lin Hanyun opened his eyes wide and said, "Yes, yes, I heard from Mr. I've said that it's very dangerous for you to go to Nanhan. My sister and I are scared to death - by the way, 'Li Yuanba' is dead!"

Lin Hanyun blinked her big eyes, looking sad.

"When will 'Li Yuanba' die?"

“On the tenth day of November.”

Zhou Xuan said: "That's very long. Where can crickets live past the end of October! Don't be sad. Crickets are born in autumn and die in winter. We will play next year."

Lin Hanyun nodded and said, "The tomb of 'Li Yuanba' is outside Bailu Academy, and it is with 'untouchable'. In a few days, we will go to Mount Lu to visit them."

...

Zhou Xuan, Sanchi followed Lin Dai to the Protectorate Mansion first. When he passed the Chaoyangfang Gate, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Son-in-law, my son-in-law - I'll be lucky!"

When Zhou Xuan saw that a big man ran out of the gate, with a big mouth and a big nose. He was separated by Zhong Weiwei and jumped and screamed, looking overjoyed.

"Ha, it's Lai Fu!" Zhou Xuan jumped off his horse.

Zhongwu Wei took the horse away, Lai Fu ran over, knelt down and saluted Zhou Xuan, grinning and laughing: "My son-in-law finally arrived. Almost everyone in Jiangzhou City is waiting for the arrival of his son-in-law."

Zhou Xuan helped Lai Fu up and said with a smile: "Lai Fu, you have gained weight. Did you come back before the New Year?"

Lai Fu said: "Lai Fu came back three days before the Chinese New Year. Lai Fu must do what his son-in-law told him to do steadily."

Zhou Xuanxi said: "So, Yongfeng Yizhuang and Xishan Academy have both begun to take shape?"

Lai Fu said: "Yes, the magistrate Li of Shangrao is here too-"

"Li Tao?" Zhou Xuan said in surprise: "He is here too?"

Lai Fu said: "Mr. Li arrived yesterday, mainly to drink his son-in-law's wedding banquet, and then to report to his son-in-law about the Yizhuang and the academy."

Zhou Xuan asked Lai Fu to return to Zhuquefang to report to the old couple of Dr. Qin, and he would go back later.

When he entered the Protectorate's Mansion, the banquet was already ready. Officials of the fifth rank and above of the Fenghua Protectorate's Mansion were there. Governor Xu hurriedly came after hearing the news.

During the meal, he learned that Lin Dai's second son Lin Duo was still in Quanzhou and could not rush back. Lin Duo had been promoted to General Mingwei, and Lin Duo's wife Xu Danyuan was four months pregnant.

Zhou Xuan ate some randomly and went to see Lin Hanyun. The two of them whispered for a while and secretly kissed them, and agreed to go to Baiyun Temple to see Sister Daoyun tomorrow.

Lin Dai sent Zhou Xuan, Sanqi, and eight personal soldiers from Duke's Mansion came out of the Protectorate's Mansion. Lai Fu, the four cynical people were waiting under the cypress tree outside the door. Seeing Zhou Xuan come out, Lai Fu shouted: "Son-in-law--"

Siqi took two steps, but then slowed down, landed behind Lai Fu, and shouted first: "Three Brother." Before saluting Zhou Xuan, because it was night, although there was moonlight, Zhou Xuan could not see the blush suddenly appeared on her face.

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "I haven't seen the fourth child for three months. I miss you so much. The third child is now going to accompany my third sister-in-law. My third sister-in-law is pregnant."

With a "ah", the four cynical people quickly congratulated the three cynical people.

Zhou Xuan resigned Lin Dai and walked back to Zhou Mansion of Zhuquefang. It was late at night, and Dr. Qin and his wife were still waiting in the front hall. Zhou Xuan rushed forward to give the two elders a big gift.

Dr. Qin smiled and helped him up, and greeted him, "It's hard for a good son-in-law to come from afar, but it's hard to walk on the road during snow."

Mrs. Qin asked Qin Que about her current situation and was very concerned about her granddaughter Zhou Zhiruo whom she had not met yet.

Zhou Xuan said: "Queer and the others missed the two old men very much. When I returned to Jinling this time, the two old men would go with their son-in-law."

The servants of the Zhou family came to pay their respects to Zhou Xuan. When Zhou Xuan saw Xu Meijiang and Meizhi and his wife were among them, he smiled and asked, "Xu Meijiang, Meizhi, are you used to living here?"

Xu Meijiang was not good at speaking, Mei Zhi said: "Thank you for the county public care. Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin are very good at taking care of the villain and his wife."

Mrs. Qin said to Zhou Xuan: "My son-in-law, Meizhi and his wife are good. I am old and weak. They all rely on Meizhi to help me manage the miscellaneous work in the house."

As he was talking, he walked out of the inside, a man with a satin robe and brocade belt, a white and fat and elegant woman with an embroidered robe and red skirt, with a gentle and quiet expression, and a very beautiful temperament from a noble family. He bowed to Zhou Xuan together, and the fat white and fat scholar said, "Li Tao has met Zhou Jun Gong."

Zhou Xuan laughed heartily and walked up to hold Li Tao's hand: "Mr. Li, I will be in love with you." He returned the favor to Mrs. Li Tao on the side.

It was already midnight at this time, so it was not convenient to have a long talk. Zhou Xuan washed up and went back to his room to rest. It was the new house where he married Qin Que and Ernin before, and the decorations did not change at all.

During breakfast the next day, Zhou Xuan talked with Li Tao about the matter between Yongfeng Yizhuang and Xishan Academy in Xinzhou. He learned that Yongfeng Yizhuang had hosted elderly orphans and raised a total of 173 orphans. Xishan Academy has also been completed and hired local well-educated scholars as teachers. At present, 81 students have studied in the academy.

Zhou Xuan was very happy and said, "When I get free, I will go back to Xinzhou to take a look."

Lai Fu, who was on the other side, reported: "Son-in-law, according to my son-in-law's instructions, Lai Fu took time to Shezhou in September and saw Zeng Daqian, a tea merchant in Huangshan, asking Zeng Daqian to send the tea silver that belongs to his son-in-law every year to the Shangrao County Government of Xinzhou. As the expenses of the charity village and the academy, Zeng Daqian agreed--"

Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "Laifu, you have done a good job. I will reward you again when I return to Beijing." But seeing Laifuzi swelling her face, her mouth opened one by one, she wanted to say something but didn't dare to speak, so she asked, "Laifu, what else is there?"

Lai Fu knelt down and stammered: "Son-in-law, Lai Fu has something to ask for help from me."

"explain--"

"This time Lai Fu went to Shezhou, the shopkeeper once saw that Lai Fu was handsome and down-to-earth, and intended to betroth his daughter to Lai Fu as his wife--"

"Oh? Is it the nickname of Concubine Sai Yang?"

"yes."

Zhou Xuan laughed: "That's great. This is a good thing. Of course I want to fulfill your wishes. The amount of betrothal gifts is paid by the government."

Lai Fu said: "The Zeng family is rich, but they don't care about the amount of the betrothal fee. The shopkeeper Zeng only asked for one thing, which was to ask his son-in-law to write a letter to the governor of Shezhou and ask the governor of Shezhou as a mediator. The shopkeeper Zeng was willing to let his daughter marry me."

Zhou Xuan laughed loudly. Zeng Daqian was an old slipper. He wanted to take advantage of his Zhou Xuan's power. If the governor of Shezhou came to serve as a mediator, he knew that his daughter was a great manager in the Duke of Zhou's mansion. In the future, no one in Shezhou would dare to underestimate him. However, it would be a bit aggrieved to let the governor of Shezhou be a mediator. But think about it, what's the point of not letting the people around him get some money?

He was a man who was enlightened and the chickens and dogs were ascending to heaven, and he had already promised to come to Fu to ask for a peasant woman, mountain spring, and a little field, and said, "Okay, in two days I will write a letter to the governor of Shezhou to send the postcar of the Fenghua Army, and you must follow you, right? Well, I will send you six Fenghua soldiers to accompany you to strengthen your momentum, and there are also silver and money mansions. Just bring more, and I will write a letter to Zeng Daqian, asking you to marry Sai Yang Concubine early, and then come to Jinling together."

Lai Fu was overjoyed, and stood up after chewing three heads, smiling from ear to ear.

While he was talking, the old Dong from the Protectorate's Mansion came in and said, "Miss. Second Miss, please ask Duke Zhou to Baiyun Temple."

We are going to get married tomorrow, and we still run out to play today, so only Lin Hanyun is the only one.
Chapter completed!
