Chapter 667 Three in One(1/2)
The concubine's son Gaomen 51
The weather gradually became hotter and it was a little hot at night. Lin Yutong turned and couldn't sleep, and the insomnia had been going on for some days. She had been like this since the day she was named Princess Yunyin. Insomnia was really a novel experience for her.
The Fourth Master put his hand on Lin Yutong and patted him: "Can't sleep anymore?"
Lin Yutong turned over and pressed her against the Fourth Master. She always felt that his body was cool and comfortable, "Well! I can't sleep." She wanted to press the acupoints, but she kept dreaming when she fell asleep. Sleeping was even more tiring than not sleeping.
She didn't know what other people's mentality was, but for her, she felt that the pressure was coming, and the pressure was almost breathless. "Emperor, one word can determine life and death, and one word can float a thousand miles away, and blood flows into a river. I have known the benefits of power for a long time. But this is actually not much attractive to me. On the contrary, when I think of one person, I have to take on the responsibility of the world. If I am not careful, I don't know how many people I will harm. I am scared and tremble..."
The Fourth Master changed his comfortable position, "Your idea is right. I am afraid that those who have nothing in their hearts and only * will be a great misfortune in the world. People who have always fear will not be able to cause trouble even if they have trouble. Am I still taking care of you later?"
But once I am at the front desk, there are many unexpected events, and I will not give myself time to go back to discuss with the Fourth Master. I have to learn and do it bit by bit.
Suddenly, the room lit up, and then there was a rolling thunder coming from the sky, as if it was an explosion in my ears.
The wind blew in from the window, making people feel a refreshing coolness.
Sanxi's voice came from outside: "Master, are you awake?"
Lin Yutong turned over and sat up. Now just now, why did she ask herself if she woke up? She got out of bed wearing clothes and picked up the light, "What's wrong?"
"Master, the eldest girl is moving." Sanxi hurriedly said, "The yard next door sounds messy. I just ask, should I go there?"
Lin Yutong asked why? When she heard that Lin Yuzhi was about to give birth, she shook her head: "It's not that fast for giving birth, just go to sleep." She didn't come to invite her, so she really couldn't get over. It was not appropriate for her to give birth to the prince's concubine.
Sanxi responded and turned around and went out.
Lin Yutong then turned back to the bed, "Lin Fanghua and Qi Duoer are having the idea of this child."
The Fourth Master snorted and said, "Whoever rushed up to send it up will become a villain. Let's go to bed! Get up tomorrow morning and we will go out for a walk outside the city. It's really not possible. Go to the village to ride a horse. During this period, the limelight has been avoiding it. Go out and walk slowly. If you are bored in the house for a long time, you will sooner or later become bored."
Listening to the sound of rain, he fell down and next to the pillow. When he woke up the next day, the sound of birds chirping, "When did the rain stop?" Lin Yutong sat up and looked outside.
The Fourth Master was sitting at the window drinking tea, "Stop when it's dawn. Get up when you're full."
Lin Yutong then remembered what he said last night that he was going to leave the city: "After a night of rain, the road outside the city can't be walked."
"Then let's go around the city." The Fourth Master pulled her up: "You haven't moved around in the capital yet, go and see the people's feelings."
As the two of them talked, they washed out the rice and put it on. Lotus leaf porridge, and various fried vegetables.
"Go and ask, let's see how Aunt Lin is doing?" Lin Yutong beat Sanxi, "Don't worry too much about anything else, just ask politely."
Last night, people didn't say it, pretending to be ignorant. Now, listening to the vague noise coming from over there and pretending not to know anything, it's a bit unreasonable.
As soon as Sanxi entered the yard next door, she heard a cry. She shivered in her heart, and the voice of the big girl changed. Outside the main hall, Madam Bai was waiting outside. When she saw Sanxi, she smiled. It would be impossible not to smile. Now it is different from the head of the concubine's house. Why did a princess appear? The king and his wife had to treat each other when they met the fourth young lady, let alone a slave. Therefore, she smiled very kindly, "Why is the girl here? But the princess has something to say, so I'll go in and report it now."
Sanxi waved his hand: "Master, come and have a look. Is it going well here? I heard that it moved last night."
The smile on Madam Bai's face was closed, with a little worry: "No! Madam is also worried."
Sanxi was still asking questions, but when he heard Qi Duoer's voice coming from inside: "Mother, please let me adopt this child to my daughter-in-law."
Adoption?
Sanxi raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked at Madam Bai: "How did you say this?"
Madam Bai shook her head: "It's hard to say, we are servants."
A hint of anger flashed in Mrs. Chu's eyes. Her grandson, even if she was a concubine, could not be given to this man as much as possible to raise. It took a long time to suppress the anger in her heart and said coldly: "Now, I don't know whether it's a man or a woman. Why should you be so anxious?"
Qi Duoer's eyes immediately burst into tears: "Please understand your wife's mood. This child has a blood relationship with me at least. He is always closer than others. If he is a daughter, his wife wants to keep her at the knees since childhood. She cannot become an Ancestral Hall, but the wife thinks that when the daughter-in-law comes in a hundred years, she will adopt her children and grandchildren. If she is lucky, she will be a son, which is also a blessing for the daughter-in-law and this child..." As she said this, her tone became more and more choked, "Ruru
If it is not this child, who else can the wife expect? The sister-in-law will adopt her own flesh and blood to her daughter-in-law, or the princess of Dongyuan is willing to give up her. Only this child is better than being a illegitimate eldest son here, it is better to ask him to take over the title of our eldest son. In this way, it will be good to everyone and better to the child! If the mother is really worried about her daughter-in-law, she can also raise the child in your yard first. The daughter-in-law will go and see her every day and will be satisfied."
The expression on Chu's face then eased. It was indeed a problem for the eldest son to be placed in the name of the prince. In the future, he would inevitably have trouble with inheriting the title. If he recorded it in the name of the second son, the problem would be solved. Although he looked down on Qi Duoer, if the child was raised by himself and moved out after he got married, it would be a good idea.
Chu Huaiyu sat on one side, looking at her nose and looking at her heart, without saying a word. At this time, everything she said was wrong. Anyway, the child was not her own, so she could do whatever she wanted. Even if she stayed on her side, it didn't matter. Her aunt's way of dealing with the concubine's son was actually quite useful. But then again, she could do whatever she wanted to treat her son. If she wanted to imitate her, it would be not that easy.
Chu looked at Chu Huaiyu and sighed: "Yu'er, what do you say?"
Chu Huaiyu opened her eyes: "Just be sure. It will be done no matter what."
Chu was really afraid that his niece would harm the child, so the Buddhist beads in his hand couldn't help but tighten. "Or what if I'll carry the child over first, and after discussing with the Duke, we'll make a decision. This is also a big deal!"
Chu Huaiyu nodded. Qi Duoer immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Such a compromise is better than a single refusal.
At this moment, I heard a cat crying outside.
Immediately afterwards, a congratulation came from the delivery room: "Congratulations to Madam, Madam Congratulations, is a young master."
Chu suddenly stood up and said, "Amitabha! Amitabha!" No matter how unpleasant the child's biological mother was, she was a biological grandson. And speaking of this child, the child's biological mother was of a good background.
Lin Yuzhi in the delivery room looked at the child and showed a proud smile. This child must be extraordinary, but I gave birth to him! This kind of heroic spirit filled his chest, as if the fatigue brought by the struggle of the night had long disappeared. She struggled to get up and stretched out her hand: "Child... ask me to see the child."
But the midwife didn't care about her, and she walked out with the child in her arms. She muttered: "...I'm so lucky. My wife was attracted by her first brother..."
Why did you carry the child to Chu? Didn’t you agree to put the child in Qi Duoer and then send it to the palace?
Lin Yuzhi didn't even see her child at all, but only saw the big red cradle being carried out like that. "Chunmei! Chunmei!" She shouted, and Chunmei walked in with brown sugar and egg water, "Girl, drink some, it's time to take a break and take care of her spirit."
Lin Yuzhi didn't care about resting her mind: "Go to find the second girl, go find the second girl, beg her to think of a solution, the child cannot be taken away by Mrs. Chu..."
Chunmei immediately showed an ugly smile on her face, "Girl, I saw Sanxi outside just now."
Three joys?
Lin Yuzhi looked at Chunmei in a little confused. What does this mean?
Chunmei sighed in her heart: "Since Sanxi already knows it, Miss II should know too. When I came in just now, I listened in a daze and said that Miss II was going to go out."
Since I know, I don’t ask anything, even if I don’t want to care about it, of course, I can’t. Now my girl’s request is really a bit difficult.
Lin Yuzhi's hand suddenly loosened: "Have you gone out? No, I have to send a message to the second girl quickly, and said... I dreamed that this child held the sun and the moon in his hands, stepped on the stars, and looked down at the world. But now I suddenly felt that the clouds covered my eyes..."
Before she finished speaking, the bowl in Chunmei's hand fell to the ground. She didn't care about it, and went up and covered Lin Yuzhi's mouth: "Girl! Wake up! Wake up! If you say this, the young master will never survive in a day! This is going to lose his head!" She really wanted to slap Lin Yuzhi on the face, and she didn't cheat her son so much. She suddenly felt that why this child was so unlucky and that others wouldn't look for him, but why did he betray such a confused person's belly?
Lin Yuzhi was stared fiercely by Chunmei's eyes, and she regained her reason in an instant, and she fell down limply, "You are right! You are right! What a girl, thanks to you!"
Seeing Lin Yuzhi calm down, Chunmei closed her eyes and stopped torture, so she quickly picked up the broken bowl and turned around and went out. She had to go to the tea room to make another bowl for the girl. Who knew that as soon as the curtain was opened, she saw the prince standing outside the door with a calm expression.
She quickly walked out, looked inside, then closed the door of the inner room, blessed her body, and called the prince softly.
Kim Sook-in said lightly, "What your aunt said just now..."
Chunmei's expression changed, "Girl... no, it's the aunt, the aunt was confused just now..."
Jin Shouren shook his head: "I heard it really. But you remember it today. Your aunt has never said anything, you have never heard anything, and I, I, don't know anything. I just asked a few questions about your aunt's situation outside and left. Do you remember?"
Chunmei nodded: "Yes! Remember. Whoever asks said that."
"Good girl." Kim Sook-in glanced inside and then got up and left.
But Jin Shouren's heart was stirred up. Lin Yuzhi said that the child held the sun and the moon with his hands, stepped on the stars and looked down at the world. Isn't this meaning obvious? Thinking of his father's plan vaguely, his heart couldn't help but jump up. In other words, his own affairs may not be possible.
But why did Lin Yuzhi say something about the clouds covering her eyes when she heard that her child was being carried away by her mother?
If this is a lie made up by Lin Yuzhi to make the family pay attention to the child, he shook his head, it was impossible. First, this woman did not have such a vision, and secondly, she could not know the secrets of the family.
But it is unreasonable that she was exaggerating because she didn't want her child to be taken away by her mother. This is glory. Not only can the child be raised by his elders, but her biological mother will also rise with the flow. At this time, she has gained a foothold in the mansion. It is not enough to say something that is unfavorable to her own situation.
Therefore, Kim Soushien believed at least 80% of Lin Yuzhi's words.
It was because he believed that he muttered in his heart, could his mother raises a child really affect the fate of the child? When he returned to the study, he muttered himself. Suddenly he remembered that a few days ago, Chu Huaiyu said that the queen summoned her sister. His heart suddenly became tight. If the Chu family really had a princess, would the Chu family's position be so simple? Can the father still control Prime Minister Chu? Supporting the prince is to maintain orthodoxy. Planning with his own family is to usurpate the rebellion. Moreover, the prince's chances of winning are much greater than that of his own family.
Could it be that this dark cloud covers the eyes and implies the Chu family!
Jin Shouren was so scared by his own guess that he had to write a book quickly and beat someone and transfer it to Kim Sung-an. It doesn't matter if the Chu family cannot be used, but the important thing is that he knew too deeply about his own situation. Once he betrayed, his own family would face a catastrophe. This is really something that he must be guarded against.
Lin Yutong was drinking tea with the Fourth Master at a teahouse. She didn't want any elegant room, just sitting in the lobby and listening to the market's words, which was also of a different interest.
Looking at the voices of the south and the north, I knew that most of the people coming and going were businessmen.
Guiwu said on the side: "Everyone says that business is easy to do this year. It's a good year."
Last winter was connected to today's spring, and disasters continued. There was a shortage of everything in the capital, and supply was less than demand. Is business difficult to do?
Sanxi continued, "The little grain produced in our farm is kept for emergencies, but there are grain merchants in the capital who don't know the foundation of the farm. I don't know how many times I have visited the house, and I have to sell grain even if I raise the price..."
"Oh?" Lin Yutong's hand ended, "What's going on?" It's said that the summer grain has already come down this year, so it shouldn't be so tight.
The Fourth Master waved his hand: "Look at the market in two months."
After summer grain, there is autumn grain, and the interval is only from June to September. As long as you have three months, the grain prices will naturally fall. How could anyone rush to increase the price to buy grain?
If the grain prices still do not fall back in autumn, then the problem here is probably not that simple.
However, it is too early to think about this now. Who knows if it happens to be a 25-year-old who can't do business?
Lin Yutong nodded and pushed the lotus leaf cake in the plate in front of the Fourth Master, "This tastes very light and not sweet."
The Fourth Master took a piece and tasted it, "If you like it, go back and bring some later." After eating, he was still not hungry now.
As the two of them said in a mess, they heard the sound of gongs coming from afar.
The sound of the gong is usually the sound of the yamen notifying the people if there is something important to the yamen, and then the yamen runners will shout the reasons for notifying them.
Because the sound of the gong sounded, the noisy sound suddenly became smaller. More people were afraid that they could not hear clearly, so they took out the copper plates and continued on the table and ran out to listen.
There was also a servant running down the private room upstairs and going to the street to inquire. So, Guiwu didn't need anyone to give instructions and ran out quickly.
Sanxi pointed at a boy who ran out in surprise and said 'eh'.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yutong took her eyes off the street outside the window, turned to ask Sanxi, "Have you met an acquaintance?"
To be continued...
