Chapter 14 Chapter 12: Dream of the Capital City

Lin Zhitong followed Geng Juzhong to a cemetery. He said it was a cemetery. Not only was it not desolate, but it was also surrounded by the excitement of the stock market.Geng Juzhong said: "This is the grave of your sister and Princess Shuo Roujia. She liked the most excitement when she was alive, but she can only be locked in a high walled courtyard. Desolate. After she dies, I will follow her wish and bury her in the market, so it will be more convenient for her to see flowers and clothes." Lin Zhitong said: "Sister is not bad, she has a husband who loves her so much."

Geng Juzhong said: "It is infatuation for you. It is pity for her, or pity for the same fate. We are all sons and daughters of wealthy families, and we are also hostages of wealthy families. You don't understand this feeling. To be buried in this place, Long En, who is also the emperor, Lord Long Live also takes pity on this sister. It is really a tragedy to watch her go from being lively and playful to being exquisite in every way, to being careful when she speaks and walks. In fact, who is not like this, as long as there is an irresistible burden It's all a tragedy. Why doesn't the emperor want to be able to walk around in the market at will, you really want to play the game of blood blade obai in the palace when he is ten years old?"

Lin Zhitong was silent for a while, and said, "What's the name of this place, so I can visit this poor sister's grave in the future." Geng Juzhong said: "I don't know what this place was called before. Since your sister died, this place has been called Gongzhufen. I think even three hundred years later, this place may also be called Gongzhufen." Lin Zhitong said: "Gongzhufen? It's a good name, it's unspeakably good, it's like seeing a bead and then disappearing. Why are you crying, big man, don't be ashamed." Geng Juzhong wiped away his tears: "You shouldn't cry. There is not much difference between life and death. Maybe your sister has turned into a butterfly, or she has turned into a butterfly. Let's play a tune, or your xun, How about my flute, or 'Jade Gate Folding Willows'?"

Zhitong was used to being wild, so she sat cross-legged in front of the tombstone and took out the xun.Geng Juzhong lay down smiling, with his head resting on the grave.The two played the flute together.A sad rhythm drifted in the distant clouds with a lingering cold rain.It's strange to say that Lin Zhitong was a little out of tune with anyone who played the duet, but he was in harmony with Geng Juzhong.Come on.The two looked at each other and laughed for no reason.Lin Zhitong said: "Juzhong, don't bully me anymore. I am a heroine, and I am the one who can't be bullied the most."

Geng Juzhong grabbed Zhitong's hand, and said affectionately: "Why would I bully you? I promised Fujin countless times before that I would take her with me, just walk together for a while, it doesn't matter where we go, we must go anyway, let go of everything Go to the place with burdens. Or mountains and rivers, smoke, rain and rain, morning bells and ancient temples, yellow flowers facing the mirror, willow branches under the moon, smiling and Yanyan; Wandering around the world. But there is always no chance. Unexpectedly, the beautiful woman has passed away, so I know that chance is something that is fought for. If you don’t do what you want to do now, you may never have the chance to do it. That’s why I must marry you. You come to the capital , I will never force you to be a hostage. You just do what you want. If something happens to me one day-this is not alarmist talk. You must leave if you climb high and fall hard. Don’t be foolish. Keep it. You are just a side Fujin, I could have named you the successor Fujin, but I am afraid that you will not be able to bear the restraint and rules, and you will smother a canary to death. The side is always much less than the regular rules."

Lin Zhitong said: "What about Fujin, who succeeded Fujin. Anyway, all I know is that I am your mother-in-law, so you just listen to me." Geng Juzhong said: "Haha, this is the best. According to the court rules, when the cabinet members go out and return to Beijing, they must first go to the Jinluan Hall to face the saint. Lai Sangong will send you back to the mansion later. I will come back as soon as possible." Lin Zhitong said: "Aren't you taking me back first?" Geng Juzhong said: "People are in the court, they can't help themselves." Lin Zhitong said: "Don't worry. I'm ready to be a good mother-in-law, and I won't be as ridiculous as before."

Geng Juzhong said: "I have seen a lot of living dead, and I just like your absurdity." Taishi Mansion is just behind Yuyuantan, just one step away from Princess Tomb. It is well-built, but it is much smaller than Gengwangzhuang in Fuzhou.As soon as Lin Zhitong entered the mansion, Housekeeper Zhang had already greeted him in front of the lobby, and led a group of maids to greet Fang Fujin.Lin Zhitong knew that this group of people was the most boring, so she ignored them, smiled and ran to the inner room.I just ran a few steps and felt that something was wrong, and when I returned to the lobby, everyone from the housekeeper to the maids were kneeling there, sweating and not daring to move.Zhitong secretly felt that it was funny, and pretended to call out: "Excuse me." They just stood up.

Butler Zhang brought Zhitong to the bedroom, and there were four servants kneeling in the room. Butler Zhang said: "If you need anything, just order these four servants. If you don't do well, just beat and scold, if you can be beaten by Fujin Beating and scolding is also a kind of blessing. There are some dried fruits from the capital on the table, and the dried fruits from Sifang City are quite famous, and I hope that Fujin likes them." Lin Zhitong ate two pieces and felt it was not tasty, so she asked, "Is there any marshmallow?" Butler Zhang said, "Huh?"

Lin Zhitong said: "It's just cotton candy? It's a big pile of white cotton, but when you squeeze it, it's only a little bit." Steward Zhang apologized and said with a smile: "This Beijing city doesn't exist, it seems to be found in small towns in the south of the Yangtze River. If the Fujin really wants it, I will send someone to look for it in the south of the Yangtze River tomorrow." Lin Zhitong said: "Forget it then, let's get some iced sour plum soup. Fujian Geng's family only tastes that. What's the name of these sisters?" The maids immediately knelt down again upon hearing this.A maidservant with big eyes kowtowed and said, "You're a slave. How dare you be a sister of Fujin."

Butler Zhang said with a smile: "Ci Fujin is really easy-going, but we as servants don't dare to discriminate between superiors and inferiors. Wouldn't that be treason? You are taking the life of their whole family. What is the name of this little maid? Married It is natural to take the husband's surname, what to call it now depends on the master's pleasure." A maidservant with small eyes looked very smart, and hurriedly said: "I beg for a name from Fujin." Lin Zhitong blinked her eyes, and said, "I—well, I like naming people the most. Your name is Bangshou, you are called Tanshou, you are called Gengshou, and you are called Biaoyuezhi."

Steward Zhang and the four servant girls were all stunned.Lin Zhitong laughed out loud after finishing speaking, they didn't know that this was all a technique in Baihequan. The maidservant with small eyes said: "Show hands? It's really - it's really nice to hear, thank you for giving me the name." Butler Zhang wondered what kind of names these are, and ordered: "Spread your hands, and serve Fang Fujin well. You have offended the master, be careful of your lives. Fang Fujin, this slave will leave." When Steward Zhang left on his back, Lin Zhitong wanted to play with the maids.As a result, the servant girl stood upright, not daring to say a word.The house was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.Lin Zhitong wanted to make trouble with this group of sisters, but they all lowered their heads, asked and answered, and soon ran out of words.After drinking a few pots of tea, Lin Zhitong was really bored and panicked, thinking that it would be nice if someone quarreled, so she said unreasonably to the plowing hands: "Come here, I want to beat you." Gengshou replied tremblingly: "Yes, Ci Fujin." He actually turned around and walked into the inner hall, held the whip above his head, and delivered the whip to Zhitong's hand.Zhitong let out a long sigh, this day is going well, it will really suffocate a good person to death. Lin Zhitong said angrily, "If I want to kill you, would you go get a knife yourself?" Gengshou was stunned, not daring to cry, and said with a choked voice: "Ce Fujin really wants to kill the servant girl, and the servant girl naturally dare not resist. Also, please give a few taels of silver to the mother of the slave girl, so that the servant girl's mother can take care of her old age. "After speaking, I really trembled.Lin Zhitong was stunned.For a maid, being beaten to death by her master is not a strange thing in Sifang City.Throughout history, there have been countless perverts among princes and nobles. If they killed a few servant girls, they could only blame themselves for their bad lives. Lin Zhitong thought to herself: Forget it, it's better not to joke with this group of people.I'm just kidding, they're so scared out of their wits they might as well have fun on their own.This group of people has been raised like a wooden dummy in boxing practice.After another thought, facing a person who could kill them at any time, maybe they can only turn into logs. Lin Zhitong walked out the door, and the servant girl hurriedly followed and said, "Where are you going, Ce Fujin, so that you can take care of me with you, and you will take us with you in the mansion, and there will be someone to serve us when we drink water and cool off. If you want to go out of the Grand Master's Mansion, I'll go and inform the housekeeper. Fujin of the palace must bring ten guards and eight porters with him when he travels, and he will be carried by a sedan chair with a silver roof, yellow cover and red curtain. He needs to go to the admiral of Jiumen to file a record one day in advance, and prepare the way in advance. Forbidden and guarded." Lin Zhitong laughed and said, "It's none of their business if I go out? My mother doesn't care about it and you do." After speaking, she jumped out of the railing while the maid was stunned, and wandered around in the palace.A group of servant girls ran after them while wiping their sweat.Lin Zhitong felt a little strange at first, feeling that her family is really big.After walking around a few times, I felt that it was just a big garden. There are many houses, but how wide a bed can I sleep on?It kind of reminds me of my home in Grass Carp Lane.Then look at the tail chasing after him panting for fear that something will happen to him, and he loses his temper even more.After practicing enough lightness skills, she threw off the maids and flew into the rockery to hide alone.Seeing the maids yelling in fear and trepidation, after they all left, they went out to stroll around proudly.Heart said: I will play hide-and-seek with the maids for the rest of my life. If I think about it for the rest of my life, I will suddenly feel extremely lost and depressed.Lin Zhitong thought to himself, if only women could divorce men, it would be great, and he was instantly amused by this thought again. After an unknown amount of time, Zhitong saw a little girl kicking shuttlecock by the pool in the backyard, she must be a few years younger than herself.Immediately rushed over happily, grabbed the shuttlecock and kicked it.The most rare thing is that this little girl is not afraid of her at all, she stares straight at her and calls her sister, which makes Zhitong very happy.She played with the little girl while showing off her footwork.Lin Zhitong's light work is very good, and she is even better at kicking the shuttlecock.A cross-kick and a crutch kick made the little girl applaud and shouted: "Sister, which family's sister are you from? Why haven't I seen you in the Taishi Mansion? Teach me how to do this kick!" How did you turn it off. Let me go to the big tea garden in Nalan Mansion next time and show off to my sisters." Lin Zhitong put her arms around her shoulders: "Don't worry, my sister's kung fu is the best. As long as you come to play with me often, you will definitely become a master." The two talked and laughed, and hit it off very well.At this time, both of them felt a little hungry, and they walked towards the lobby at the same time.When the maids saw that Fujin and the little girl had returned, they were all relieved, and it happened that Geng Juzhong had returned home from court. Lin Zhitong rushed over and said, "Juzhong, you're back, you're suffocating me to death. The group of people under you are no fun at all. Fortunately, I just met a younger sister." Geng Juzhong was almost choked to death by saliva, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "Nonsense! This is my daughter. What kind of generation is this called? Chai'er, you have to call her aunt." Both Lin Zhitong and the girl pouted, with weird expressions. Butler Zhang said with a smile: "Chai Gege just came back from playing at Nalan's mansion. When I went to visit Fujin's mansion, I didn't see anyone, so I went to play shuttlecock in the backyard by myself. I didn't expect the two to meet together, and they misunderstood It's gone. But the side Fujin is so handsome and heroic, it doesn't look like he's a generation older." Chai Gege made a blessing, and said softly: "So you are an aunt from Fujian, I should have thought of it. I forgot it when I was playing, but you are really like a sister." Geng Juzhong grabbed Lin Zhitong's hand and said: "You know, Princess Roujia and I got married when we were twelve years old, and the princes and nobles couldn't help themselves. Who would have thought that they would give birth to Chai the next year. Compared to your aunt, it's even worse. I'm three or four years younger. I was afraid of embarrassing you, so I haven't told you." Lin Zhitong said dissatisfied: "Then I'll call her younger sister, okay? I'm getting old." Geng Juzhong said: "It's really nonsense. Then what am I, the uncle of the wife and concubine or the daughter's brother-in-law? Alright, Chaier. Let your sisters come to our garden to play tomorrow. If you always go to Nalan Mansion to disturb you, it is your fault." To be the next host, bring those sisters and sisters together, so that Aunt Lin can make more friends." Chai Gege said: "Father, you really love Auntie. Aren't you afraid that Mother will be jealous over there?" Geng Juzhong suppressed his smile and said, "What's this called?" Chai Gege put her arms around her aunt and said, "Hehe, aunt, don't mind. It's just that I miss my mother." Geng Juzhong hugged Lin Zhitong in his arms, his face was tired, and there was still a trace of sadness that couldn't be shaken off.Lin Zhitong straightened the clothes that had just been torn by Geng, and said dissatisfied: "Are all men like this? Just now I was so anxious, sticking left and right like money owed to my own women. After practicing Crouching Tiger Kungfu, I lost it." Some dirty things, just so listless, it seems like a woman owes you." Geng Juzhong was amused: "Your analogy is really interesting. I just messed around with you on the bed, feeling like a beast with no scruples, so relaxed and excited. To tell you the truth, I have had some women before, but with Rou Princess Jia is just a family task, for the purpose of carrying on the family line. Most of the other women are gifts for the Grand Master, they are things, not people. These women are very beautiful and are afraid of me. They just lie down like a log and grit their teeth. Catering to you, I dare not call out when it hurts. Only with you, I feel that this is really good, not only for the sake of having children, but also very good in itself. I am not happy because of you, it is really too bad in this world. Just now In the imperial court, I follow Long Live Lord to calculate and calculate. I feel that the world is already a big frying pan. If I am not careful, the people will be cooked. Of course, if it is really a frying pan, I will definitely not be able to escape." Lin Zhitong said: "So scary? I saw that the street is very lively. Although there are many poor people, those who are not too lazy have food to eat." Geng Juzhong said: "Accordingly, the past two years can be regarded as a bumper harvest. There are hungry people in every dynasty. This dynasty is not serious. Although the emperor is not very old, he can definitely be called a good emperor. But this dynasty is too complicated. After all It is a foreign race who proclaimed the emperor, and there were indeed a lot of blood debts from the Han people when they entered the customs. If the three major vassals rebelled under the banner of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty, it would probably be another catastrophe in the Central Plains. Chao Taishi, the emperor's confidant, is probably the most embarrassing and most damning person in the world." Lin Zhitong got up and said, "Have the three great feudal lords turned against each other? Then your eldest brother is also turned against?" Geng Juzhong sighed and said, "I hope not. It's just that the Thirteenth Yamen has issued a report to the House of Internal Affairs, and San Francisco is recruiting troops. From my point of view, it's not optimistic." Lin Zhitong said: "Who will the people support? I heard from Mr. that whoever the people support will win." Geng Juzhong said with a smile: "That's not right - it's just that in a particularly extreme situation, one ruler is so cruel that he doesn't give the people a way to survive; the other is so kind that he even sucks pus for the soldiers and gives his clothes to the poor. Only ordinary people can be of some use. But there are not many extremely cruel and extremely kind people. The world is nothing more than a group of new and old careerists vying for each other under various banners, so it is called "Qin Shi" The deer is chased by the whole world'. Take a look at Danqing, the common people are basically spectators, or the strong men who are forced, or the old scalpers who are squeezed. As long as they don’t starve to death, whoever wins supports whom, this is the survival of sheep Strategy. Maybe the more vicious and shameless the villain, the more people will support him. Because the people understand that good people can't fight against evil people, and evil people can't offend them." Lin Zhitong opened her mouth wide and said, "If there is a war in Fujian, will Grass Carp Lane be destroyed, and will my parents be in danger?" Geng Juzhong said: "At that time, it will not be a question of whether Caoyu Lane is dangerous or not. From the Lord Long Live, to King Jingnan, to every commoner, it is difficult to survive alone. Human lives are just a number in a war. The battle of Changping killed 400,000 people. Death, the children of 400,000 parents, how sad it must be, but that will also fulfill Bai Qi's fame as a general. If the world is peaceful, your parents in Fujin will naturally have enough food and clothing. If the world is in chaos, everyone will not be able to survive. If you go down, you have to look at the eyes of God. So the emperor has a headache, he made a mistake and lost everything. I also have a headache, not only because King Jingnan is my elder brother, but also because I feel that the world is not benevolent, and everything is a dog." Lin Zhitong said: "If there is a fight, who is the good guy and who is the bad guy?" Geng Juzhong sighed: "Whoever wins is a good person." Lin Zhitong said: "Can we not fight? You write a letter to your brother, then to Wu Sangui, and then to the emperor, saying that fighting is not good. Fighting is worse than fighting. Hold a martial arts conference, send a master to each side, and set up a table for the Eight Immortals , whoever knocks down the table is considered a loser. Wouldn’t it be better?” Geng Juzhong laughed loudly: "You like kung fu so much. Before there is any chaos, your husband is still above ten thousand people. Tomorrow, I will find you some masters from different schools and show you a martial arts competition. But there is only one thing, you Can't participate." Lin Zhitong said, "Why?" Geng Juzhong said: "The grand master's side Fujin wields knives and guns, what's the proper way? For the sake of the Manchu family, the emperor specially asked the wives of high-ranking officials and nobles to learn the gentle and elegant rules of the Han people. Even the daughters of the Manchus were forced You are not allowed to ride horses and shoot arrows anymore, and you want to change to the rules of Confucianism, how can you be in trouble? Besides, with your current status as a Fujin, which martial artist would really dare to beat you?" Lin Zhitong sighed helplessly again. On the second day, Chai'er came to pay her respects early.He said to Lin Zhitong: "Aunt Lin, you still have to teach Chai'er how to kick the shuttlecock. I think Auntie is also bored here, I have already told the butler to bring a few Fujian opera troupes over to sing every day. If Auntie wants to go out , and I don’t want to cause a lot of noise, Chai’er will teach you to take a small path. In this way, you don’t need to file a record with the admiral of the nine gates, and go out directly. As long as you don’t go out on the right path, Steward Zhang and the others will naturally treat you as ignorant of." Lin Zhitong thought to herself, this little girl is really a villain, she is so understanding at such a young age, it can be seen that wealthy families see a lot of worldly things.I am much worse than that.Zhitong said quickly: "Thank you, Chaier. I knew there must be a small road beside the main road, and there are always a few cracks in the door anywhere in the world. However, even if Auntie wants to go out through the main gate, they can't stop her." But Lin Zhitong really couldn't go out, too many people came to visit on this day.At the beginning, the admiral of the Nine Gates sent his wife over to give a few bracelets. After a while, Nalan Mingzhu, a cabinet scholar and Minister of the Ministry of War, sent his wife over to give two night pearls.At first, Lin Zhitong felt a little fresh, but it didn't take long before the ministers and servants from the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Punishment all sent their wives to visit, and she really wanted to quit. Butler Zhang hurriedly stopped her: "Grandma This kind of official entertainment must never be rejected, and you have to show more smiles when you are troubled. Otherwise, if you see one and miss the other, the outsiders will immediately wonder what they will say, and immediately set up a lot of powerful enemies for the Grand Master. If the feudal lord makes trouble, Tai Shiye's life will be difficult, and his life will be even more difficult if you want to do this." Lin Zhitong had no choice but to continue pretending to be a good lady, but luckily she secretly listened to her husband's lectures when she was a child, and watched a lot of plays and books, so she didn't really reveal her secrets.When he was too tired, Wu Sangui's secret envoy in Beijing also came in and brought a jade Guanyin. Lin Zhitong looked like the Guanyin in the lobby of his own house, but it was whiter and greasy like snow, like goat's milk .He was happy in his heart, and was trying to accept it, but Steward Zhang snatched it and retreated with a smile. When the secret envoy walked away, Steward Zhang knelt down and said, "Grandma, how dare you accept things from his house? How dare you accept them now? The one who killed the grand master. If the grand master is good, we servants will have enough to eat at least; Have pity on us." Lin Zhitong said angrily: "Then they all retreat, okay? Why can't I accept what I like?" Steward Zhang kowtowed and cried, "It's even worse if you retire. Retirement is a slap in the face of others. If you don't give face to others, will others give face to you? If there is no group of people supporting you, why should you be an official?" gone?" Lin Zhitong raised her head and said, "I'll let my husband be Bao Zheng, that Hai and so on. I won't accept gifts, and only do good things." Zhang Guanjia said: "How many Bao Zhengs and Hai Ruis have there been in these thousands of years? Two or twenty? It’s nothing more than killing a few street thugs, so that the imperial court can set an example, and make the people sleepy and slow to rebel—don’t blame the Fujin, the slave is talking too much. It’s just that the slave has been in the public house for a long time, and he has seen more dirty things. Defiled Fujin's ears. In fact, Fujin Bingxue is smart, and can see through some things." Lin Zhitong sat on the chair in a daze.This group of people really need eight minds.Those who slaughtered pigs and dogs at home always believed that they would meet a few Bao Zhengs, but they didn't seem to believe in anything.In the next few days, the Shisan Yamen, the Minister of the Household Department, and the family members of King Pingnan also came to visit.Lin Zhitong followed Steward Zhang's instructions and dealt with them carefully one after another with a smile on his face. If the butler coughed once, he would accept the gift, but if he coughed twice, he would not accept it.After a few hours, I feel that this face is not my own anymore, the corners of my mouth are still pulling towards my ears in the last latrine.When they came out to celebrate, there was another call from outside: "The Fujian club will come to visit, and the fellow villagers from Zhangzhou will come to visit." Lin Zhitong sighed and hurried out.After the fellow gave her some souvenirs, he quietly handed her a piece of paper, and wanted to ask Fang Fujin to help her to be promoted.Seeing dozens of names densely written on the paper, Lin Zhitong became depressed again, thinking: So these people didn't come to visit the fellow villagers, they just wanted to use the fellow villagers. Lin Zhitong said to Zhang Guanjia: "This side of Fujin is really boring. It looks like the Jiangdong Ancient Bridge. Everyone praises how beautiful it is, while stepping across the river." Zhang Guanjia said: "Ci Fujin has really worked hard. This servant has prepared your favorite iced sour plum soup. It's just that this servant needs to be more talkative, and I should be more particular about the time of meeting people. You just chatted for a stick of incense, Mrs. Shangshu , Mrs. Minister, you chatted for half an hour. When the news got out, outsiders were going to think about it again. And this petty official in the Fujian club didn't even have a grade, but you chatted for so long, it's too embarrassing for them This kind of petty official, you don’t have to look straight at all in the future, let them see the grand master Fujin, it’s just to give face to eight lifetimes. After chatting for a long time, others will look down on you. The length of time the official’s wives and concubines meet is also a delicate matter. Signal." Lin Zhitong frowned, really wanting to blow the butler away with a white crane fist. Looking at the paper given by the fellow, she said angrily, "Then what should we do with the list? Burn it?" Butler Zhang rummaged through the presents from the Fujian Clubhouse, and in an instant he found a secret compartment in every box of candy and tea, and inside the secret compartment were silver tickets.Butler Zhang looked at it and said: "That's not necessary. After all, it's Madam's township party. If you reject it as soon as you come here, others will look down on Madam. Don't worry about it. They will naturally come to pay New Year's greetings when the Chinese New Year comes. Madam can Choose a few officials who are pleasing to the eye, and call him over to pay the bill the next time you invite the official minister's family members to dinner. As long as you show your face like this, the official department will know what to do. This will not only return favors, but also charge more Some of his own people. Since Ci Fujin is from Fujian, he can naturally help Tai Shi Ye gather a Fujian gang. No matter how many officials there are, they are actually fake, and the number of talents under them is the foundation of power." Lin Zhitong said a little frantically: "Bury me in the Princess Tomb! Even if I'm killed today, I won't see these dubious guests." Zhang Guanjia said: "Ma'am, there is nothing I can do. Anyone in this position has to socialize. Anyway, most of these people are Madam Gaoming. I don't see that breaking the rules of the entire officialdom. Even if the grand master has thousands of hands, so what?" Can you be hostile to the entire officialdom? Besides, why do you have to pay a visit to the second elder brother Geng Zhaozhong’s house tonight. Although the second elder brother’s official position is the lowest among the three Geng family brothers, the principle of filial piety must still be taught. Brothers and sisters should go to visit the elder brother first. If this etiquette is missing , Tomorrow the whole circle of famous ladies in the capital will spread, and I don't know how many rumors will be added." Lin Zhitong said pitifully: "Then can we go out to play tomorrow?" Butler Zhang smiled and said, "Those who give gifts today, those below the third rank don't have to pay homage back. For those above the third rank, it is necessary for Cian Fujin to go over to greet him, especially the cabinet scholars and the wives of various ministers. They will return as soon as possible in the next few days. Although you, Fujin, may become the successor of Fujin in a few days, after all, you are only sidelined now. Look at all the people who came to visit you today are the wives of senior officials. If you don’t pay homage, isn’t it too big? Others will blame you too much Teacher. In the officialdom, the wife's socializing is actually a business. Don't worry about Fang Fujin, it's just eating, playing horses and hanging out, and exchanging pleasantries. But if you don't follow suit, the problem will be serious." Lin Zhitong was lying on the toffee chair, thinking that it was a fucking mistake for a woman to marry, it was more tiring than practicing kung fu. Not long after lying on the ground, a well-dressed businessman barged in, selling donkey-hide gelatin in Shandong. When he saw Fang Fujin, he knelt down, claiming to be a distant relative of Fang Fujin, and calling himself the thirty-nine-generation great-great-grandson of Lin Chong's concubine. And Cian Fujin is the thirty-sixth generation descendant of his main wife, so he came here to recognize his grandparents.A man in his forties just knelt in front of sixteen-year-old Lin Zhitong and regarded himself as his great-grandson, which made Lin Zhitong quite at a loss.Butler Zhang directly asked a few servants to beat him out.After a few blows, the businessman begged for mercy.The yamen servants asked while beating, do you dare to be surnamed Lin? The man was in pain from the beating and shouted, "My surname is not Lin anymore, is my surname Mu okay? The surname is Mu." Director Zhang said angrily: "The surname is Mu, too. Come here, beat up the guards, and let in any dubious people! Do you meet casually as the side Fujin?" A few days later, Lin Zhitong was so exhausted that she lay down on the ground. She said to Geng Juzhong, "What kind of fools are vying to marry a wealthy family? Are there really so many women who can't get enough to eat? Or are they fascinated by the light of those jewels? Lord, you Why don't you just find another Fujin and ask her to help you socialize. Spend money that is not clear, find those who are ambiguous, and say those things that are neither salty nor bland. As for me, just let it go, I I want to walk the rivers and lakes." Geng Juzhong scratched his hair and said: "Well, I thought that Fujin didn't have so many things to do, but I didn't expect that the officialdom is a whirlpool. Once you get involved, it's hard to get out. I didn't want you to do so many things, but these days the government is entangled in politics and forgets. Excuse me, besides wearing this human skin, these worldly favors are really not something you can do if you want to. Fortunately, these days, you have gone where you have to go. The rest, just be more sloppy Forget it. How about my husband find some martial arts masters for you and set up a ring to entertain you?" Lin Zhitong said: "Isn't it those buskers on the street? A big stone is broken in the chest, and fire is spit out of the mouth. This heroine is a descendant of Lin Chong, the daughter of a Shaolin master. Don't fool me. And, I heard from my father, This real martial arts master cannot be invited." Geng Juzhong smiled and said, "That's your father! If you can't invite them, it's because you think you don't have enough money." Lin Zhitong said: "Then, isn't the imperial court banning martial arts?" Geng Juzhong said: "The imperial court can prohibit the people from practicing martial arts, but of course it can also prohibit the common people from practicing martial arts. Don't forget, your husband is the first rank of the imperial court. Besides, the war has started in the south, Taiwan still has rebels from the Ming Dynasty, and Sichuan still has the remnants of Zhang Xianzhong. Just when soldiers are needed to be brave, it would be out of date to ban martial arts." Chai'er ran in and said, "Father, aunt, and the sisters of the Nalan family have all come to play at my house. Would you like to go over to say hello to father and aunt? They also want to meet this new Fujin." Geng Juzhong smiled and said, "That boy Nalan Xingde is here too? What's the point of this devil king who hangs around with his sisters and sisters all day long? His poems are very interesting. I don't care about you little girls." Participated. Zhitong, go over and have fun. You are such a young aunt, you should be able to play with this group of innocent children." Lin Zhitong yawned and said, "Before I married you, I thought I was just a child. After a few days after I married you, I felt that I was getting old anyway. I won't attend the party. I left a lot of houses. Those ladies are not Reciting poems and being right is intrigue, and I don't know how to do that. I can't force these young masters and ladies to fight with me." Chai'er held her stomach and laughed, and said: "My aunt is really a strange girl like a red brush, aunt, go and have fun, we are not so vulgar. Especially Nalan Xingde, what a wonderful woman! Weird people, you should get along well. If you don't get along, you should come back." Lin Zhitong had no choice but to follow. Seeing a bunch of flowers-like girls in the yard, she thought to herself what kind of family this is, why are all the beauties gathered together?There are two noble sons in the middle, one is round and jade, not like a man; the other is handsome and thin, not like a man, and I don't know which one is Nalan Xingde.Lin Zhitong covered her mouth and yawned, feeling that the eyes of these nobles were perverted.Men here regard weakness as beauty, and women regard disability as beauty, and those feet are wrapped like rice dumplings. What is it if it is not disability?Thinking of this, I felt disgusted and frowned.Seeing Zhu Yuanyurun's young master playing with his sisters, his eyes got wet when he remembered the scene of playing with Luqiu Danyi, Xu Jing, and Fat Zhukang in Zhangzhou. Chai'er said: "Sister Feng, come here, sister Zhuer, this is my aunt." Everyone stood up and saluted.The round and jade-like young master raised his eyes to look at Zhitong, and he was actually fascinated on the spot. Chai'er said: "Auntie, the fatter one is Nalan Xingde, and the handsomer one is Nalan Kuixu. The others are all young ladies from the Nalan family, so let's call them Nalan's family. I took some names, such as Feng'er, Zhu'er, Ling'er, Que'er. It's a pity that the elder sister Yuan'er has entered the palace to be a concubine, otherwise, we would have more than ten sisters who often play together." Lin Zhitong was already petite, but she had been doing things she didn't like these past few days, making her look even thinner. Just now, she thought of her seniors in her hometown, adding to her melancholy.Seeing them forced to smile, they felt listless again, saluted and wanted to withdraw. Nalan Xingde actually grabbed Zhitong's sleeve and said, "This younger sister is my aunt? I really feel pity for her, she shouldn't be called Zhitong, but I need a more vague name to match you. Sister Lin, you have to remember more Eat some food before a gust of wind blows you home." Chai'er said: "Yeah. You are talking nonsense here. You are called sister and I am aunt. Then what have you become to me?" Everyone laughed when they heard this. Lin Zhitong wondered why this person was talking so foolishly to Mu Mu. It seems that fools are everywhere, regardless of high or low, but they got a little closer and said, "That's great, you don't have to suffer here when you get home. gone." Nalan Xingde said blankly: "Is my sister suffering too?" Lin Zhitong said: "Is it not hard to face a group of boring people every day?" This was originally Lin Zhitong's heartfelt thoughts, but it was extremely inappropriate for a lady to say it out of her mouth.Unexpectedly, Nalan Xingde trembled with excitement when he heard the words: "Yes, yes, this world is absurd, and what's even more absurd is that everyone is acting so seriously, just to have more things outside of the body, as if they will not die. It's extremely pathetic to fight with this group of corrupt officials who are filthy and filthy, and to put together the tasteless Four Books and Five Classics with a group of Mr. Dong Hong who can't read. Miss Lin can see their boredom, it's really—— —I wish I could meet again when I was not married." After saying these words, the nondescriptness reached the extreme. Nalan Xingde knew he had made a slip of the tongue and covered his mouth. That Feng'er of Nalan's family was the first to laugh, with red phoenix eyes hanging upside down, and said: "Hey, this is a confidante who fell from the sky. Don't joke, idiot, this is your elder. Don't take it as a The servant girl in your house is showing off your demon king's energy again, and I have nothing to pay for frightening my aunt. Kui Xu, Chai, let's cook crabs and eat." After finishing speaking, he asked his servants to bring several baskets and bundle them with straw. Good crab. Lin Zhitong was very happy when he saw it, but he didn't expect this overbearing thing to be edible.Speaking of eating, he was all excited, so he hurried back to the kitchen to get some sauce and vinegar, Nalan Xingde looked at Lin Zhitong's thin and slim back, and felt a period of dementia again. After a while, with the help of the servant, the huge crabs were boiled red one by one.Although Lin Zhitong had never eaten it, her saliva fell out when she smelled the aroma.Just as she was about to grab one, Miss Zhu'er said: "Let's not be in a hurry to eat. I haven't written a poem for a long time, and everyone is dull. Before eating crabs, everyone writes a poem about things. Those who don't do well will be punished." Shelling. How?" A group of ladies cheered and jumped up.The two sons of the Nalan family also applauded. Lin Zhitong was very depressed when she heard the words, and she wanted to compose poems after a meal?This also prevents this heroine from living. If I had known it, I would not have gone to get soy sauce.Lin Zhitong was so angry that she stood up and wanted to leave, but then she remembered Zhang Steward's words, knowing that every word and deed of people in the officialdom would be scrutinized and magnified, so she covered her chest and pretended to be sick, and said, "Chai'er, I'm suddenly short of breath. Slow down Eat, I'll go back for a rest." After finishing speaking, luck turned his face pale, imitating the wife of the servant of the Ministry of Rites yesterday, and wiped the sweat with a handkerchief, which really showed a bit of the sickly tenderness of a Jiangnan woman. . Chai'er said urgently, "Auntie is all right." Lin Zhitong said: "It's okay, maybe I just came to the capital, and I'm a little uncomfortable with the environment." After saying that, she refused Chai'er's support, and walked out by herself. 纳兰性德心道：“这林姑娘，身子骨如此纤弱，真让人看着都心疼啊。” 林芷彤一出门长长吐了口气，冲到后面大树下，骂道：作诗，作诗，吃个螃蟹都作诗，怎么不去作死。看见大树长得直挺挺的，活生生一个木人桩，一时气闷加上脚痒，就来了一个侧身踢腿。林芷彤何等功夫，这树当然被踢得一颤。林芷彤一练功夫就活泛起来，又连着七八个正身直踹。那树上本来结满了白色的花，瞬间飘了一地。 张管家如大祸临头般跑了过来，带着哭声道：“我的姑奶奶，这……这又是怎么了？这棵树可是玉兰花树啊，名贵且不去说，它可是康熙元年，太后赐给耿家的，是康熙帝和柔嘉公主一起植下的。每年万岁爷都要来看几次。这花树没来由秃成这般模样，万岁爷怪罪下来怎么得了？” 林芷彤没想到踢棵树都这么多忌讳。本来这段日子就过得憋闷，当场委屈地哭了起来。张管家慌了，赔笑道：“侧福晋不用着急。这么多花，碰上个狂风暴雨的，也总会凋落一些吧。嗨，就当昨晚刮了大风吧。只是这踢御树的事，万万别再让他人知道了。这事可大可小，往大可是对皇上大不敬啊！” 林芷彤听张管家说得严重，觉得更郁闷了。这鬼地方简直就不是人待的，动不动就犯规矩，还是漳州好玩。想到这里，她便哭得更加厉害。林芷彤一边哭着一边想，我得赶忙把这群花儿藏起来才行，免得真有麻烦。于是悄悄拿出个锹来，就含着委屈地泪水把这些花埋了。 纳兰性德吃了两个螃蟹，见姨娘久久不回，终是担心。纳兰性德本就是京城公子圈里数一数二的笑话。当下也不管不顾，借口要解手，去寻起林姑娘来。心想，哪怕多看一眼，问候一声也是好的。 走到园门内，恰恰见到林姑娘一边流着泪，一边葬花。纳兰至情至性之人，写诗填词，十首倒有八首空灵悱恻，但也只想到伤春，没想到葬花。这一眼望去，那感觉，就如被闪电击中一般，浑身抽搐起来。林芷彤心里暗骂：娘的，怎么本女侠跑到这鬼地方来了，要是在老家，就是踢倒它十棵八棵树又能如何。毕竟还是个第一次出远门的小姑娘，想起了自己的爹娘，便嚎啕大哭了起来：“今年我把你们埋了，还不知以后谁来埋我啊。” 纳兰性德闻言瘫倒在地上，两眼泪流，心道：完了，我这辈子，下辈子，下下辈子，下下下辈子，这生生世世，只怕都要交待在她手里了。梦里寻他千百度，那人却在灯火阑珊处。这是怎样琳珑剔透的心儿才会懂得给落花建冢啊。林芷彤终于把花埋完了，她拍一拍手，感觉就像以前在草鱼巷做了坏事没被娘发现一样，得意地转身走了。 纳兰性德回到家里就犯了相思病，嘴里梦里都是林姑娘。把纳兰明珠气得绑起来抽了一顿，心想纳兰家本是叶赫那拉氏，世代情种，这年轻人犯犯傻也是常事。只是作为家中长子，又不肯读书，又整日想着世交家的媳妇，也算是没出息透了。
