In the evening, when the brilliant sunset gradually faded away, the whole sky turned silver-gray, and a peaceful mist quietly surged in the capital.

A well-trained team surrounded a sedan chair and walked through the streets and alleys, quietly entering the quiet Lingshi Alley, and entering the unattainable Lin Mansion.

Since the Lin Mansion was upgraded to the Ge Lao Mansion, the Wucheng Military Affairs Office often dispatched personnel to patrol outside the alley, and ordinary people cannot get close to this place at all.

The butler Lin Jinyuan hurriedly asked the servant to open the door of Lin's mansion, let the sedan chair go around the screen wall and enter from the left, and then slowly landed in the front yard.

As the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, Lin Weiran, wearing a first-class crimson official robe, stepped out, and his whole body seemed full of mightyness and a hint of firmness and indifference in his eyes.

"I welcome my husband back home!"

Wu Qiuyu was in front and Hua Yingrong was behind. The two peerless beauties followed the etiquette of their wives in this era and seemed to be polite to the welcome Lin Qingran.

"Welcome to the master to come home!"

The wet nurse and servant behind him also followed suit and gave respect to the head of the family.

Lin Qingran walked out of the sedan chair and saw these people. He had long been accustomed to these things. He first nodded gently, and then asked Wu Qiuyu as usual: "Everything is fine at home?"

"Report to my husband, everything is fine today at home!" Wu Qiuyu looked at Lin Weiran with complicated eyes, and responded in a regular manner.

Although Lin Qingran heard almost the same answer every time, he felt relieved. However, from Wu Qiuyu's eyes, he guessed that she already knew that she was going to inspect the Nine Borders. He first nodded to Hua Yingrong.

Then he said to the wet nurse who was holding her eldest son: "Let me hug Hu Zi!"

After the confusion of becoming a father for the first time, he also accepted this new little life. Although he could not be a qualified dad, he occasionally hugged him to cultivate the relationship between father and son.

Wow……

Lin Qingran had just taken over his eldest son who was in his infancy. The eldest son, who was yawning, suddenly burst into tears, his voice seemed very loud.

"Hu'er, you have to be good, it's dad who hugs you!" Wu Qiuyu also hoped that his son would get more Lin Junran's fatherly love, so he hurriedly comforted his son.

But Hu'er didn't sell the bill, and her crying sound seemed even louder, as if there were only crying and him in the whole world.

Lin Qingran suddenly became helpless. He was really not good at coaxing babies. Especially he still needed to maintain his style as a master, but it was impossible to put his face down to coax his son, so he had to hand over his son back to Wu Qiuyu.

Wu Qiuyu took his precious son and coaxed him gently. The wet nurse and Hua Yingrong next to him also came to help, but Hu Zi's crying still did not stop.

Lin Weiran frowned slightly, but found that his son was too difficult to serve. It turns out that giving birth to a baby is worse than having a baby.

Wu Qiuyu looked at her son like this, and exchanged glances with Hua Yingrong, and had to order to the maid next to her: "Go and invite his aunt!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a girl in military uniform had already walked over from the living room in a hurry, but she complained first: "Oh, brother, did you hug the tiger again just now?"

"He is my son, why can't I hug you?" Lin Qingran immediately hung up and argued with a dark look on his face.

"Of course you can, but if you hold Hu Zi, you should talk to him more, otherwise Hu Zi will definitely cry!" Lin Pingchang took Hu Zi from Wu Qiuyu and taught at the same time.

Lin Weiran's brows immediately frowned. How could he, the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace and Minister of War, hear the teachings of this little girl? He wanted to continue arguing with her, but suddenly was stunned.

But when Hu Zi just entered Lin Pingchang's arms, Lin Pingchang just said softly: "Okay, where is Aunt here? Hu Zi stop crying!"

Before he finished speaking, Hu Zi, who seemed to be about to cry until dawn, magically stopped crying, and seemed to be obediently hiding in Lin Pingchang's arms.

Not to mention Lin Qingran, even if Wu Qiuyu and Hua Yingrong looked at each other helplessly, they sighed that they were not as good as this sixteen-year-old sister.

"Look at it! Hu Zi will not cry anymore!" Lin Pingchang looked at Hu Zi and stopped crying obediently, and emphasized seriously to Lin Qingran.

Lin Qingran smiled helplessly, not saying that he would definitely not work according to the method Lin usually taught, and he could not say such gentle words to coax his son.

Influenced by the "father, son and son" of this era, and he was a Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace, and had long recognized the dangers of this era, he was destined to be a kind father.

Unlike later generations, the father of this era had absolute power. Even Yan Shifan was the only son in the family and loved his mother, which had a great say, which gave him an opportunity to steal the patriarchal power.

.

However, in this environment, his father has absolute authority over his son, so he does not need to please his son at all, let alone consider the issue of raising a child to prevent old age.

That's right. Although he occasionally hugs his son, he probably has to hand over the work of coaxing his son to his wife and this sister with magical courage.

Lin usually walked towards the inner house with Hu Zi in his arms, and fulfilled his promises that year. He helped Lin Qingran take care of his son diligently, so she has been at home for a relatively long time recently.

As Lin Weiran returned, dinner in Lin’s mansion began soon.

The food did not blindly pursue big fish and meat, and each dish seemed very delicate. Wu Qiuyu and Hua Yingrong were picky about food. Because they believed in Guanyin, they preferred vegetarian food; Lin Weiran and Lin usually did not avoid meat and vegetables.

But after all, people who are hungry are inevitably more inclined to eat meat.

The dining table is often accompanied by vegetarian dishes from Zhejiang or Jiangxi, followed by white-cut chicken from western Guangdong, Beijing roast duck and various seafood and other meats.

As other families who follow the rules in everything are different, the dining table in Lin’s house seems very casual, and they often eat and chat here.

"Brother, I heard that Xu Jie wanted to promote the ban on iron order?" Lin usually asked casually while eating a piece of roast duck meat.

Since she was awarded the crown scarf, she lived in the capital as idle as many martial artists. However, after all, she still has some connections. Now she is temporarily on the job at the Beizhen Fushi, which is the dark history of some officials.

Because she is a daughter, it is not easy to attend the morning court, but she also has a relatively well-informed source of information and has heard about some things about the morning court.

Lin Weiran was eating a piece of mushroom with gravy, but asked lightly: "What are you doing inquire about this?"

"Our Foshan workshop needs a lot of iron ore. If the imperial court really bans the opening of new mines, it will have a great impact on the production of the workshop! Not to mention that Foshan cannot continue to provide high-quality and low-cost agricultural tools, I am afraid that many workers will have to fire. This matter is a matter of

It's not good at all!" Lin Pingchang said seriously while holding the chopsticks.

Wu Qiuyu and Hua Yingrong are both smart women, and they also became interested in this matter, so they turned their heads curiously and looked at Lin Weiran.

Lin Weiran wiped the juice from his mouth and nodded gently and said, "Xu Jie did instruct Dong Chuance to throw out the ban on iron, but I have clearly opposed it! Although the matter is now pushed to the court, it is only Mr. Guo and Mr. Guo.

Mr. Gao and I agree with each other and will definitely not let this proposal pass!"

"That's good!" Lin Pingchang nodded with relief when he heard Lin Xuran's answer.

But at this moment, a sloppy Taoist priest walked in from outside, shaking the wine gourd and questioned Lin Pingchang: "Lin Pingchang, have you poured boiled water into my wine again?"

The person who came was Wu Daoxing, but now he did not choose to eat in the dining room, but liked to wander around the kitchens of each family.

Seeing his all kinds of magic, the Lin Mansion did not dare to be down on him, and he cooperated with him to "stolen food" and pretended not to see him.

Lin usually saw Wu Daoxing coming over and responded without denying: "Dr. Li said: The reason why you have liver pain now is because you drink too much alcohol on weekdays, and you can no longer drink that kind of spirits without restraint!"

"Oh, you actually dare to take charge of your master. If you believe it or not, I will expel you from the master now!" Wu Daoxing saw that the guess came true, so he accused him in anger.

Wu Qiuyu and Hua Yingrong looked at Wu Daoxing so angry, but they couldn't help but look at Lin Pingchang with concern.

Lin Pingchang frowned, but argued seriously: "I am for your own good! If you really want to expel me from the Master, our Luofu Mountain Shendao lineage may not be able to succeed you. I see how you will go to the Master in the future.

The ancestor's explanation?"

Lin Weiran couldn't help but look at his sister strangely when he heard this name.

Wu Daoxing immediately looked like a deflated ball, put away the anger on his face as if he changed his face, but kept joking and then enjoyed the wine and meat on the chair next to him.

Although the wine was mixed with some boiled water, the taste was still there, which made him feel very happy.

Lin Xuran knew that Wu Daoxing was actually coming to join in the fun on purpose, so he asked with a slight touch in his heart: "Master Wu, can you help me Bu Yibu have a disaster in the near future?"

"If you don't know, your fate will damage my life span. Only my disciple can do this!" Wu Daoxing chewed his mouth full of flesh, and refused firmly.

Lin Qingran knew that his sister had learned the skills of feng shui and physiognomy from Wu Daoxing. However, when he saw his sister who was eager to try, he couldn't help but worry: "Will it damage my sister's life span?"

"Haha... the person who can make my disciple lose his life span has not appeared yet, you definitely can't!" Wu Daoxing said with a sip of wine and looked contemptuous.

Lin usually has a kind hearted personality and responds to his brother's requests and nods firmly.

Lin Qingran looked at his sister's eagerness to move. His character was just steady. He did not dare to believe Wu Daoxing's words easily, so he made a decision and said, "Then let's test the words!"

Earlier, he asked Wu Daoxing to test his characters, but Wu Daoxing was safe and sound. Now, if his sister asked his characters to test them, the impact would be the least, and the reason would not have any side effects.

"Brother, what's the word?" Lin Pingchang also had a little bit of a show-off mind, so he asked seriously.

Wu Qiuyu and Hua Yingrong had already seen Lin’s usual skills and looked at Lin Yanran with curiosity.

Lin Qingran dipped some tea with his fingers, looked up at the point where the Pearl River Wall Clock pointed to, and wrote the word "you" neatly on the desktop.

Although Wu Daoxing seemed to be careless, he immediately showed a solemn look on his face when he saw the words on the table.

When Lin usually saw this word, his eyebrows gradually frowned, and then raised his head and said seriously: "You, can be removed from the West, and it means something in ancient texts, so this disaster is in the West... You follow the ancient texts.

The big jar of wine is used to serve, so you have to guard against soldiers, but the stars at night are the most beneficial." Speaking of this, she said happily to Lin Qingran: "Brother, the capital is the king of the north, as long as you don't go west soon,

Then there will be no danger without any!”

Lin Qingran heard this word "Explanation" and wanted to slap himself hard. He really shouldn't have caused trouble at this time, so he said without hesitation: "Your brother is a rich man, even if he really goes west, he will not.

Maybe something is wrong!"

At the end, he deliberately avoided Wu Qiuyu's resentful gaze, glared at Lin Pingchang fiercely, and signaled her to be careful when speaking.

Lin Pingchang failed to understand what he meant and seemed serious: "Brother, no matter what kind of wealthy person you are, you must be careful if you have a disaster, even if I am no exception!"

, she added: "Of course, my fate is really good, so I have almost no disaster in my life, so don't be careful of anything! It's just that you are different. You really can't go west in the near future, as you will suffer disaster!"

"I have already taken the errand to investigate Shanxi Governor Wang Jiluo in the morning court today. The imperial edict should be issued tomorrow, and I will go to Shanxi the day after tomorrow!" Lin Qingran saw that the matter had reached this point, so he simply said openly and honestly.

ah?

Lin Pingchang didn't know about this beforehand, so he opened his mouth in surprise, but he didn't expect that his brother would really go west.

Wu Qiuyu had heard of it in advance, and Hua Yingrong's face turned pale, and she looked at Lin Qingran with great concern and anxiety. If she had not had this word for calculating, she would not have been worried that Lin Qingran would go on a mission to Shanxi, but Lin Pingchang just said that there was a disaster in the west.

.

"Wu Daoxing, what do you think my sister is?" Lin Qingran's heart moved slightly, and he looked at Wu Daoxing with expectation.

When Wu Daoxing saw Lin Qiran looking at him, he realized that Lin Qiran was beating Xiao Jiujiu, but he showed an unfathomable smile, and then directly chose to get up and leave.

This unintentional act undoubtedly caused concerns between Wu Qiuyu and Hua Yingrong.

When Lin Weiran saw the stone hitting him in the foot, he had to spend some effort at night to comfort his two women, but he still decided to go to Shanxi.

After the court meeting the next day, the imperial edict appointed Lin Weiran as the imperial envoy arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion.

Lin Qingran did not choose to delay. After greeting several other cabinet ministers, he went to the Ministry of War to explain some affairs, and then returned home to prepare for luggage.

Many things have been decided, and he will not be able to repent, even if there are many dangers ahead.

The next morning, he left the capital in a carriage, but he planned to go to Xuanfu to inspect the border troops first, and then detour to Taiyuan, Shanxi.

Lin Qingran knew that the subsequent battles in the court would be even more intense, but he was already leaving this treacherous court for the time being, so he would focus on the north side without looking back.
