Chapter 17 Chapter 15

A month later, Geng Jingzhong really rebelled, claiming to be the President's Army General Ma, detained Fujian Governor Fan Chengmo, and sent generals Zeng Yangxing, Bai Xianzhong, and Ma Jiuyu to attack Zhejiang and Jiangxi in three directions.Regardless of the vassal king, the flag is naturally a filial piety for Emperor Chongzhen, and he reorganized the Han Dynasty against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.Everyone in the world knows that the Manchus were brought into the customs by these Han people.But time, luck, and fate, now there is really a group of ethnic fanatics gathered under the banner of the most hated traitor.

Face is never a necessity for politicians. Kangxi sent General Shujie to suppress the thieves, and at the same time promoted Sinology.First, he invited the great Confucian scholars from all over the world to come to Beijing to teach the nobles of the Eight Banners, and ordered to expand the enrollment of erudite CI subjects. Then he sent Yifei Guoluoluo, Huifei Nalashi, ministers Suo'etu, Nalan Mingzhu, Ye Bilong, Mo Luo, and Mi Sihan. , Geng Juzhong and other close relatives and female relatives, a total of more than 40 people formed a mother ceremony tour group, and followed Fanshen Hou Yan Yuqiu to learn the rules.Even the student of the missionary Tang Ruowang, the only nun in China, Ferdinand, was sent to learn the etiquette of the Han people.Under the pressure of the San Francisco, Manchu Qing's respect for Sinology flourished here.

But Lin Zhitong didn't go very far, and the letter of complaint floated to Emperor Kangxi's desk like snowflakes.Long Live Lord had no choice but to recall Lin Zhitong in advance with a wry smile, so as not to spoil the overall situation of the Man and Han family. At the beginning, Lin Zhitong was not considered a bad student.When he first arrived at Fanshenhou Mansion, Lin Zhitong was very excited to be able to sit in the school dormitory and read a few words. In the past, he would lie outside the window and learn a few words. Now that there is a seat in the dormitory, he is determined to study hard.But being a good student is easier said than done, let's not talk about how boring those female celebrities are, just the stern face of the teacher is enough to be hateful.

In the first class, Yan Yuqiu said in person: "The Master said, 'Learning without thinking will lead to nothing, and thinking without learning will lead to peril'. Ladies, come to this place of saints to study. You must think about it, and ask when you have doubts. This knowledge, Learning, a small part is learning, more than half is asking. In the palace of learning, it is a place for wise reasoning. You must know everything and say everything. There is no need to have any scruples in learning. Han Yu in the Tang Dynasty once said, "Primary school but great obscurity , I haven’t seen it clearly’. It also talks about the big doubts in life that must be asked. This time, ladies come to learn, simply speaking, it is four words-three obediences and four virtues. Three obediences are unmarried Obedient father, Once married, obey the husband, and when the husband dies, obey the son..."

All the noble ladies studied very seriously, and those who had a good foundation in homework copied it neatly on the rice paper in elegant lower script.Think about it, being able to study in Fanshenhou Mansion in Qufu, this unique experience is also a piece of talk among family and friends in the future. Lin Zhitong was the first to raise doubts, and said, "Sir, you said you want 'three obediences', why is that?" Yan Yuqiu smiled and said, "Because this is the principle of yin and yang in the universe, and the way of heaven." Lin Zhitong thought for a while and said, "Sir, you didn't answer my question."

Yan Yuqiu: "Cian Fujin, please open the book, "Rituals, Mourning Clothes, Biography of Zixia". Have you read it? It's written in the book." Lin Zhitong said, "Sir, you still haven't answered my question." Yan Yuqiu asked suspiciously, "It's written in the book." Lin Zhitong said: "I'm asking why. It's not whether it's written in the book or not, and what's written in the book may be wrong. I have a storyteller at my place, and most of what I said is made up by myself." Yan Yuqiu's face finally became serious: "This is written by a sage, it is the 'Four Books and Five Classics'. It is not a dirty thing of peddlers."

Lin Zhitong sat down, stood up again after a while and said, "That's even more problematic. You are using the saint's own words to prove that the saint is right. This is like Lin Zhitong saying that he is the best in martial arts in the world, isn't it? Am I really number one?" Half of Yan Yuqiu's face turned blue, and the other half forced a smile, and said in a low voice, "Ce Fujin's words are also fresh, not only fresh, but also frivolous. One must be steadfast in reading, and frivolity is not acceptable." Lin Zhitong said: "Sir, I'm not frivolous. Didn't you say that if you have doubts, you should ask them?"

Yan Yuqiu was at a loss for words, so she had no choice but to ignore her, and said some principles of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness and fraternity, such as the king wants his ministers to die, and if the ministers do not die, it is unfaithful; if the father wants the son to die, it is unfilial if the son does not die. Lin Zhitong stood up again and said, "If you are wrong, do you have to die?" Yan Yuqiu was stunned and said: "Ci Fujin. This is the Saint Academy, and even Wansui has to dismount in front of the door. Please don't be so unrestrained and absurd."

Lin Zhitong was also taken aback and said, "Didn't you say that you don't have to have any scruples in learning? Sir, it has nothing to do with whether the Long Live Lord dismounts?" There was a commotion in the school. Yan Yuqiu said: "If your father is wrong, you can only remonstrate bitterly. If you are wrong, you should be martyred. The sage never persuades people to rebel, only to be loyal to the king. If people can disobey, it means breaking human relations. Isn't that right?" Is the universe upside down and the world in chaos?" Lin Zhitong said, "What does martyrdom mean?"

Yan Yuqiu said solemnly: "If the country is in trouble, repay the king with death." Lin Zhitong's hairs bristled when he heard this, and he felt that if the emperor's elder brother was a fool, he should die with him, and he probably couldn't do it.But he was also respectful and asked: "I'm afraid that the Fanshenhou Mansion has been martyred many times in the millennium?" Yan Yuqiu's complexion changed drastically when he heard the words. In the past thousand years, almost no matter what dynasty or generation, the Fanshenhou's Mansion was almost all subdued.Especially the Ming Dynasty treated him well, but after the Manchus entered the customs, the Mansion of Fanshenhou was quickly surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, which aroused dissatisfaction among many Confucian scholars.But those who can talk about this question are all masters of Confucianism, and ordinary scholars can't even think of this question.If she hadn't known that she was the Grand Master's side Fujin, Yan Yuqiu would have wanted to ask her who ordered her on the spot.Of course, I can only talk about him at this time: "There is no other problem, this class will be over."

Lin Zhitong raised her hand again and said, "I have another question. After hearing so much, sir, can you tell me when I can resist? If I can't resist, and if Junfu is a villain, wouldn't it be possible for him to harm many people? Can you learn?" Can you use some kung fu to do justice for the sky?" It was very common for Lin Zhitong to say these words, she has been practicing kung fu since she was a child, so naturally she also wanted to be a hero.As for killing the treacherous ministers of the emperor, because the ancestor is Lin Chong, when listening to "Water Margin", I often have this idea.But these words are tantamount to treason to many people, and almost made the gentlemen of Fanshenhou Mansion turn pale with fright. Yan Yuqiu said angrily: "Heroes use martial arts to break the ban. In this place of sage literature, talk about the 'five beetles', sweep the floor with gentleness, sweep the floor with gentleness!" Turned and left the school. Other noble ladies accused Lin Zhitong of disrupting the classroom, and those who were a little bit harsh said: How can people in the countryside of Fujian understand Yangchun Baixue.Lin Zhitong felt very wronged. After studying for a long time, the confusion in her heart not only did not decrease, but increased instead. What is the use of this knowledge?He didn't answer the question directly, but just focused on confining and repairing, like the butcher Niu San in Zhangzhou who bought and sold by force. Sister Ferdinand came to shake her hand, and Ferdinand whispered: "Cian Fujin, they are like this, don't be serious with them. My master Tang Ruowang almost died in their hands. Just because they proved the error in their ancestral calendar .Fortunately, God forbid, did not go to the gallows." Lin Zhitong asked: "Sister Xiyang, I think this group of people is very strange. They don't seem to be real people, they seem to be running out of the grave, frowning all day long. They don't seem to be reasonable, but they seem to treat reason as a stick. Stealing money and beating people." Ferdinand covered Lin Zhitong's mouth: "You are now Fujin, and they may have nothing to do with you. But the affairs of the officialdom are not clear. Be careful, Fujin, misfortune comes out of your mouth." Lin Zhitong said: "You speak Mandarin really well, and those blue eyeballs are so beautiful." Ferdinand said: "Ce Fujin, I'm so happy that you can say that. Many people regard us as Rakshasa. We came from Rome, so naturally we have to work harder. The brothers and sisters in our church have all worked hard on Sinology." Lin Zhitong said: "You are too powerful. By the way, what are the five beetles that Mr. Yan mentioned just now?" Ferdinand said: "I heard from Father Tang Ruowang that it was Han Feizi's article. The five beetles are five kinds of pests, including scholars with ideas and knights with swords. At the mercy of the five beetles." Lin Zhitong had a strange feeling in her heart, who are these people who always want to control others?If you take care of your brain, you also need to take care of your body?What are they doing this for? Ferdinand said: "Ce Fujin, you look so small, but you are so brave. Can you climb up and call your sister?" Lin Zhitong said: "Of course, it's great to have a sister, who can help me fight." In class on the second day, another sacrificial wine narrated the allusion of "professionalism lies in diligence and waste in leisure", saying that if a person wants to achieve success, he must rely on diligence. Lin Zhitong asked again: "What is achievement?" Seeing her again at the sacrificial wine, she said with some trepidation: "Of course it's to confer the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, and confer the title of wife and son—to settle the affairs of the king and the world, and to win the name in life and after life." Lin Zhitong stood up and said, "Being an official—this mainly doesn't depend on hard work—first, it's better to rely on background, and second, it's better to rely on background. If you don't believe me, let's go to the capital to check." Jijiu heard the words and sat on the ground, unwilling to get up for a long time. It's fine if you just contradict Fanshenhou and the others in class, after all, Lin Zhitong is the grand master's woman, and a thousand-year-old family in Fanshenhou's mansion, and she is most afraid of offending such a powerful minister with a military background.To know that a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain.But then two things made the Fanshenhou Mansion unbearable. After a few days of class, Yan Yuqiu took this "Mother's Ritual Lecture Group" to several small county towns to present chastity memorial archways.This was originally an exclusive business of the Fanshenhou Mansion, but this time it was even more authoritative with this group of court ladies.Arrived in a small county in Jinan Prefecture.There was a fourteen-year-old widow who was locked in the house by her father and forced to commit suicide. Yan Yuqiu took all the concubines, Fujin, and Mrs. Gaoming to guard the county government office, eagerly waiting for the medals to be awarded. This father let his daughter starve to death.On the fourth day of starvation, the girl cried and cried, and her father said persuasively, "Axian, why are you so confused? Ever since I got the dead letter from the Meng family child, I have made up my mind to call you martyrdom, and call you Mother tried hard to persuade you to go this way, to become your lifelong fame, and to be a chaste woman who will last forever. She also helped you plan to make you die. Why did I do this? Because the methods of hanging yourself, taking poison and jumping into the well have to be done by yourself No, you are a fourteen-year-old child, how can you do it? I hesitated a lot because of this matter, and then your uncle came to come up with this method for me and asked you to sit in the room and calmly Die at the end of the grain. This kind of martyrdom is considered the first decent thing in the world. The face of the ancestors adds a lot of glory, let alone your father and mother. You have to understand that such an approach , not to force you, but to fulfill you, you don’t understand what I mean by fulfilling you, and instead you blame me, you are really ignorant!” On the sixth day of starvation, her mother couldn't bear it anymore, and persuaded her father to send some poison in, so as to "fulfill" it early.But her father said: "You need to know the local customs in our county. Anyone who dies at the festival must first report to the official. Because the death of a grain is a rare thing, and when he is dying, the county magistrate will go to the court in person. Toast with incense and bow three times to show that he respects martyrs, so that ordinary women can use it as an example. With this precedent, we have to follow the custom. On the second day when Ah Xian died, I I have dragged my uncle to report to the county magistrate. Now she is told to take poison. When the person who has taken poison is dying, his face will turn blue and black, and some will bleed. The county magistrate will definitely come to offer incense in the future Yes, he is a person who often conducts autopsies, how can he hide it from his eyes? Isn’t this intentional to deceive parents and officials? How can I afford it?” Besides, I heard that Marquis Fanshen has come, so I dare not cheat. Later, Ah Yin finally starved to death gloriously on the seventh day.The county magistrate sent a plaque written by Fanshenhou himself, with eight big characters inscribed on it-"Chaste and fierceness can be windy, virtuous and virtuous". After Lin Zhitong understood the whole incident, she even slapped herself several times, hating herself for not being able to rescue the girl.That night, a fire burned down the plaque of the county magistrate, broke all the bones of the father and uncle of the family, and demolished more than a dozen chastity archways in the county overnight. Yan Yuqiu was so angry that his seven orifices were smoking, and he played a secret concert on the spot. With the height of the integration of Manchu and Han cultures, he demanded that this side fujin who had malicious intentions, a femme fatale, a slut, disrespected the national conditions, resembled a traitor and a heretic, who was arrogant and disturbed the school Walk. The second incident happened ten days later, which annoyed Yan Yuqiu even more. These days, it happened that the Yellow River Basin in Shandong was flooded, and hungry people were everywhere. In Qufu alone, countless people were displaced.There is no lack of such things in any dynasty or generation, and there is nothing to talk about.As usual, Fanshenhou Mansion opened a porridge shop in front of the door, serving porridge at a fixed time, and outside the porridge shop there was naturally a big banner "Yan".Later, more and more victims were affected, and Yan Yuqiu still opened a porridge shop, and never gave out a handful of rice, and never gave out a handful of rice.As a result, hungry people continued to survive and knelt on the ground to thank the Fanshenhou Mansion for their kindness; there were also people who couldn't get porridge and starved to death in front of the porridge shop.The Fanshenhou Mansion will send someone over to give a straw mat to bury the body.Everything is so harmonious. Yan Yuqiu sometimes visited the victims in person, weeping in front of the mass graves, very worried about the country and the people.After worrying, they also do good deeds to give a few bowls of porridge to the homeless and handsome little girls, and then tell some allusions about the kindness of dripping water and the spring of repayment, and the little girls often voluntarily go to the mansion to become maids. Lin Zhitong looked at the bowls of bird's nest with rock sugar handed to the Muyi tour group in the mansion, and saw the starving victims outside, rushed into the yard and asked, "Mr. Yan, why have you taught us so many lessons?" Benevolence', also said that worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later. Now that so many people are starving to death under their noses, why are they still listening to operas here? It's better to open more porridge halls in Fanshenhou's mansion." Yan Yuqiu watched the actors somersaulting on the stage and ignored them.Seeing that Fujin patted the table, Fang wiped away his tears and said: "What Fujin said is absolutely true. It's just that Duofan Shenhou's Mansion is just a literati, with three buckets of food at home, not a teacher. In terms of food and grass, there is nothing I can do to help. As you can see, I have been giving porridge all the time. This is the family tradition of the Fanshenhou Mansion for thousands of years. Now the mansion is very struggling. But to save the world with the benevolence of the family is really relying on the Taishan Mountain to surpass the Beihai Sea. If you have to do it, you can’t.” In front of several magistrates who were listening to the play, Lin Zhitong took out a huge dead mouse from his bag and threw it on the table. It was a hot day and the smell of rotting corpses was everywhere. The officials covered their noses in amazement. Fujin can do this kind of thing.Lin Zhitong yelled: "What is Taishan, I don't understand Beidou. I only know that Yan Yuqiu is lying. Look at how big the mice in Fanshenhou's Mansion are. Can't you really open more porridge shops? If you don't want to To save people, the porridge market opened is just for fame. Besides, I just heard from the wife of the Minister of Rites that the "Jushi Project" has just allocated tens of thousands of tons of rice for the meals of the scholars of Fanshenhou. Fanshenhou Can the government run out of food? Since you are a person full of benevolence and righteousness, let's save the emergency first." This giant master project is the "Hundred Zhu Xi" proposed by Yan Yuqiu in the Taishi Mansion, that is, to train a hundred Zhu Xi.The Ministry of Rites thinks that this name is disrespectful to the sages, and the homonym is not pleasant. Limin always thought it was the Hundred Pigs Project, so it was changed to the Master Project.Later, Yan Yuqiu asked the court for several appropriations, which were changed to the "Giant Master" project. Yan Yuqiu said angrily: "Ci Fujin, Fanshenhou's Mansion has no more food, believe it or not. As for the Jushi Project, it is the court's kind treatment and care for Confucian scholars. Naturally, it should be earmarked for special purposes and cannot be confused. With destiny, how can we let the pillars of the country who are only educated go hungry for a few mud legs." All the officials nodded and clapped their hands in agreement. Ferdinand said anxiously: "Mr. Yan will definitely be kind. Mr. Yan has always been the most kind. In front of God, no matter what kind of job you do, you are brothers and sisters. Can we eat poorly and stop eating delicacies every day? Palm. Take it to Hebei to exchange for some rations, here is close to Hebei, and it will only take two days to go back and forth, if you exchange a large amount of rice, you will save a few more lives." Yan Yuqiu glanced at her blond hair, became even more angry, and said in a cadence, "You are Tang Ruowang's student, right? You came from the wild frontier of Western Europe. You have never seen the world, and you don't understand civilization. It's really your Germania is too far away to bathe in the enlightenment of Chinese civilization. But you stay here, just pay tribute and receive rewards. The matters of the heavenly kingdom are naturally dealt with by the heavenly court. How can it be the turn of the women of Fanwai Xiaoguo to point fingers? How can you care about this small Western country if you want to rely on foreign self-respect? The heavenly kingdom has been civilized for thousands of years. You are not good at reading, so your mind is full of random thoughts. The principle of "never tire of thinness". Meat must be cut squarely, and vegetables must be top-quality ingredients. Eating is the first major event in life. If you are sloppy, you will lose the dignity of a scholar. If there is no human relationship, the world will fall. .This is not allowed by saints! It is worse than how many people starve to death. This is also the old master Zhu's principle of preserving nature and destroying human desires." Lin Zhitong really wanted to chop him up with one palm, but felt that it was inappropriate to do so, it would not solve the problem, and it would hurt Geng Juzhong, so she pulled Ferdinand and said, "Farewell, Mr. Yan, I call you twice, sir. The worst thing to do, don't be hypocritical with me in the future." Ferdinand was so angry that he cried, Lin Zhitong said: "Sister Xiyang, don't cry, your God will be sad. I understand it. The court officials are a bunch of liars, and the people are a bunch of fools. They are starving to death, why don't you rush?" Come in to grab food? The role of Fanshenhou Mansion is to make fools more stupid, so that liars can lie for a longer time. The common people can only rely on themselves, not on rewards from others. Nine out of ten people who are able to reward are bad people. I felt that my grandfather Lin Chong went to Liangshan too late, and my lungs burst after Liangshan called for security. Tonight I will look for a mouse, and then find the location of the granary. I will rob it." Ferdinand shook his head and said, "It's useless. I already know where the granary is, but it's a high suspended warehouse. There are no stairs between the warehouse and the ground, and there are servants and vicious dogs guarding it. Unless someone can fly to Go above the granary. Otherwise, you will be blocked anyway." Lin Zhitong said, "How high is the hanging warehouse?" Ferdinand said: "There are two feet." Lin Zhitong said: "Two feet is nothing. You go find some hungry people and wait outside, and let the hungry people get rid of the vicious dogs. Dog meat is also a good dish. Watch me jump up to deliver food." Ferdinand said: "Don't eat dog meat, Amen." Lin Zhitong said: "Dog meat tastes better if you put pepper in it, Amen." Yan Yuqiu was chatting with several professors and Jijiu from the Imperial College, and they were going to study a new academic issue in the name of the Fanshenhou Mansion—"Confucius didn't know the taste of meat in March", whether the meat was pork, mutton, or beef.Naturally, the research funding is sought from the Ministry of Rites.Suddenly the servant said: "It's bad, it's bad. The granary was robbed!" Yan Yuqiu kicked away the maid who was kneeling and beating her legs, and cursed: "Who has the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, dares to rob the granary of the Fanshenhou Mansion! Besides, there is no ladder, how did the thief get up?" The family member said: "It's Ci Fujin, leading a group of hungry people. Ci Fujin flew up, opened the warehouse, and threw food down. The victims all called her Bodhisattva." Yan Yuqiu gritted her teeth and sat on the grand teacher's chair, waved her hand and said, "I issued a notice, saying that the Mansion of Fanshenhou asked Fang Fujin to release the food. I've already intended to release the food anyway." She said in her heart: Lin Zhitong, you deceive me Too many people.Your husband and I are only officials in the same dynasty, and your husband is no more than half the rank of an official, so we bully others like this.The hand reached out to my granary.Your Geng family is not easy to mess with, but my Fanshenhou family is easy to bully?What's more, Geng Jingzhong rebelled. I don't believe that your husband has a better life in the capital.So he wrote a secret letter to the emperor, saying that if he didn't deal with side Fujin, he would resign from the position of Fanshenhou.He also wrote a secret letter to the students in Fujian, asking them to check the background of Lin. Lin Zhitong and Ferdinand were finally picked up ahead of schedule. Ferdinand said: "Sister, you are really like us Catholics. You have faith, strength, and love. Are you willing to join the church?" Lin Zhitong bit the radish and said, "That's the one who came from Amen, and who went to Amen. Forget it, I'm not familiar with him, but I am familiar with you, sister. I'd better believe in Guanyin Bodhisattva, but doing good deeds doesn't matter." Ferdinand said: "It's good to do good. No matter what religion you teach, you should let others live well. Otherwise, it's a cult. It's just a pity. Otherwise, we can study astronomy, mathematics, medicine, and Greek philosophy together in the church. I promise That's another world, a more reasonable and logical world than this." Lin Zhitong said: "You can still teach me. It's amazing that you know medicine. Mathematics means counting, right? I can do it too. Basically, I know how to calculate accounts. I made all the soy sauce at home when I was young." Ferdinand said: "Our medicine is different from yours. Mathematics is not only arithmetic, but also geometry. My master relied on geometry to help the Qing emperor make many red cannons. Only in this way can he stand. " Lin Zhitong became curious and felt bored on the road.I just learned geometry from Ferdinand for a few days.Lin Zhitong was talented and intelligent, and Ferdinand was persuasive, and soon Lin Zhitong figured out many formulas. Lin Zhitong said: "Don't say that you have too many of these things - the triangle is the most stable, and the straight line between two points is the shortest - when the heroine fights, if she stands in a triangle shape, her hands are always placed in the middle of her body , fists and palms only attack in a straight line, don’t they have an advantage in offense and defense.” Thinking of this, I was stunned, thinking that I should give it a try when I go back to the Grand Master’s Mansion. Ferdinand said with a smile: "You are such a fool. My sister sometimes thinks that you are not like a woman in this country, you are too independent. As for fighting and so on, I really don't understand. It is amazing to see you fly up to the warehouse. I think Maybe it's kung fu that gave you a different kind of bravery?" Lin Zhitong was about to brag, when she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach, and said, "Sister Xiyang, don't you know how to heal? Help me find out why my stomach suddenly hurts." Ferdinand didn't feel for his pulse or stick out his tongue.Use a piece of iron, put it against your stomach and listen.Lin Zhitong just thought it was funny, what kind of disease could he treat like this?Ferdinand said seriously, "You haven't been here for a few months." Lin Zhitong yelled in surprise, and said, "Huh? You're really a miracle doctor, how do you even know this?" Ferdinand said: "Well, you are amazing, how come you don't even know this." Seeing that Lin Zhitong was confused, Ferdinand pointed his finger at Lin Zhitong's head, and said, "You still practice martial arts every day, so it's good if you don't die. I want to go back to Beijing to congratulate the grand master and your sister. You are pregnant, it should be four years old." It's been more than a month. Your belly is almost showing up." Lin Zhitong was in a panic all of a sudden, and said at a loss: "Ah, I thought I was fat. Pregnant, I'm still a child, how can I have a baby? More than four months—ah!" Lin Zhitong screamed, one month in Shandong, one month in Beijing For more than a month, on the way from Fujian to Beijing, the child was conceived in Zhangzhou.This child belongs to Xu Jing! Ferdinand yearned: "Children are angels. It's a pity that I am the servant of the Lord, otherwise I would also want one." Lin Zhitong shook her hand and said, "Sister, will you be against it? Tell me, you must be against it." Ferdinand said displeased: "I have studied medicine in Germany, and your imperial physicians dare not speak like that, not to mention that this is not a difficult disease. Don't worry, it will never be wrong." Lin Zhitong sat on the ground, feeling powerless fear again.Lin Zhitong thought: Will Geng Juzhong accept this child?Do you want to tell him the truth.Even if he doesn't tell the truth, Geng Juzhong will know.After being dazed for a while, he was secretly thankful that it was only a month away, and he would be born prematurely by then, how would Geng Juzhong know?But Lin Zhitong felt ashamed for a while, thinking why would she lie to someone who is good to her?She still decided to tell the truth to Geng Juzhong, anyway, Geng Juzhong also knew that she had a man before, since he didn't care that she had a man, there is no reason to embarrass this child. Ferdinand said: "You seem to be pregnant later, so be more careful. Little life is a gift from heaven. You must cherish it, don't fly around, punch and kick. A mother like you, the child did not lose It's a miracle, he must be very healthy. You must protect your child." Lin Zhitong heard that the sense of absurdity was replaced by a kind of natural maternal love, although she was not quite used to it yet.She rubbed her belly and said, "Don't worry, mother is a heroine and will protect you." Finally arrived in Sijiu City, the first person I saw was not Geng Juzhong, but Nalan Xingde.This young master somehow got the news that Ce Fujin was going back to Beijing.I booked a house in the teahouse in front of Taishi Mansion in advance, and stayed there day and night. Nalan Xingde said: "Miss Lin, I...I...I..." Lin Zhitong was helpless and funny, and said, "Why did you come here?" Nalan Xingde said: "I am thinking about clothes, tossing and turning. I...I..." Lin Zhitong said: "What about me, a big man is so shy, doesn't he just like me? Just hide your thoughts and like me secretly - I'm not suitable for you." Nalan Xingde was taken aback by the words, bowed his head and said: "If there is no romance, I will meet her again in this life. If there is a romance, how can my mind be emptied." Lin Zhitong didn't quite understand, but she was inexplicably sad, thinking: She must have regarded me as another woman, and she didn't know whether this woman was loved by her or just imagined by him.Perhaps there may be a phantom hidden in everyone's heart, just like the Luqiu Danyi I thought of before.A gust of wind blew past, Lin Zhitong felt a little cold, and sneezed on Nalan Xingde's face.Nalan Xingde was taken aback, and hurriedly wiped it with his hands. Lin Zhitong deliberately teased him, pretending to be displeased and said, "What are you doing, you hate me?" Nalan Xingde said solemnly, "I'm not rubbing, I'm smoothing." Lin Zhitong's whole body was cold, and he threw a handkerchief to him, thinking it was both ridiculous and scary.Not daring to talk to him anymore, he walked into the Grand Master's Mansion. Zhang Guanjia said: "Ce Fujin, it's good that you're back. Hurry up and take a look at Zhulinju, the grand master is looking forward to you day and night." Walking into the bamboo forest residence, Geng Juzhong was visibly haggard. Lin Zhitong shaved her face and said, "It's only been a month, no mother-in-law or aunt would want to do this? Everyone has lost weight." Geng Juzhong hugged her and said, "It's good when you come back. There are food on the table and wine on the bed. You will be interested when you come back." Lin Zhitong happily took off her shoes, rushed onto the bed and picked up a chicken paw, and said, "After thinking about it, the bed is the most comfortable." Geng Juzhong watched Lin Zhitong gnaw the chicken foot, he hesitated to speak. "You seem to have something to say." "Geng Jingzhong still rebelled. Maybe something is wrong with me." "I've heard. It's okay. You have such a good relationship with the emperor. One person does the work and the other bears the burden. It was your brother who rebelled, not you. Besides, the emperor still recognizes me as his younger sister, so don't be afraid." Geng Juzhong blinked his eyes and said: "If only it were that simple. Companion to a king is like companion to a tiger. In the case of rebellion, the previous feelings need not be discussed. Power is the power of men, and most men are born to fight for power. , so the most severe punishment is for a man to go out of his way and for a woman to be secluded. Those who stand in this way, even if they are fathers or brothers, will be killed and arrested." Lin Zhitong said: "I don't think the emperor's brother is this kind of person, he still has some conscience. At most, he won't be an official. What's so good about being an official?" "If it can be as you wish. It would be great for us to roam the rivers and lakes and live in rough clothes. Unfortunately, it's too difficult—how did you offend the Fanshenhou Mansion? They took your father to participate in the Tiandihui in the past few days The matter was brought out." "What, Tiandihui? Isn't the case closed?" "Even if it was aimed at my face, this case will no longer cause trouble. On the Fujian side, the officials of the imperial court naturally dare not touch it. It is unreasonable for the Jingnan Palace to have relatives to do this. The Thirteen Yamen has already He was bribed, and if he didn’t play for the first time, it would be impossible to play again according to the official rules, otherwise he would be dereliction of duty if he didn’t play on time. But Fanshenhou, for some reason, paid attention to this matter and sent his students in Fujian , and played the emperor's father-in-law's act of joining the association, and also attended three times a day. This matter is troublesome." Lin Zhitong held her head up and said: "Once you enter, you will enter. You have been in prison for so many days, what else should you do? First, you won't steal, and second, you won't rob." "If it's really stealing and robbing, it's easy to handle. In the eyes of the court, it's a trivial matter for money. If the father-in-law is greedy for money and something happens, it's not only okay, but the officials will treat it as one of them. I'm afraid it won't happen." It’s a waste of money. The imperial court doesn’t know what you’re doing, but it thinks you’re trying to get bigger. This is very dangerous. And there is indeed a problem with this Heaven and Earth Association. It was originally just a group of people selling smuggled salt and wandering the rivers and lakes, followed by some fake monks and those who failed. Scholars formed associations to protect themselves, and occasionally scolded the court's mother. Although it was forbidden, it was not a big deal. But recently they actually established a third prince Zhu in Fu, and followed Zheng Jing's people to make trouble everywhere. Now the problem is complicated. Last year, there was an incident involving the false Third Prince Zhu in the capital city. Although it was suppressed, the city was full of storms in the capital city. The emperor hates this the most." "Third Prince Zhu? Is there such a person? I have been in Fujian for so many years, why have I never heard of it?" "It doesn't make much difference whether people are real or fake. The key is that there is such a symbol, which can attract many old and young who are dissatisfied with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. You must know that there is no shortage of talents among the Han people, even in a village. Zhu After all, the Ming Dynasty has lasted for hundreds of years, and it can still recruit some people who are devoted to the nobles of Tianhuang. There will be no shortage of counselors and warriors here." Lin Zhitong said with some concern: "Then father will be arrested again, and I'm not around, what will mother do?" Geng Juzhong said: "Not for the time being, Fujian doesn't even know whose territory it is now. Your father has so many signs on his back, such as Shaolin hero, grand master's father-in-law, relatives of the royal family, and disciples of the Tiandihui, and now the city is changing. Yes, who is going to poke your father's hornet's nest. It's me—probably going to disappear for a while." Lin Zhitong said, "Why?" Geng Juzhong said: "The younger brother who rebels, the son-in-law who rebels against the party, the wives and concubines destroy the Manchu family, and disrupt the Fanshenhou Mansion. Any one is enough." Lin Zhitong held onto Geng Juzhong tightly and said, "You will be taken to prison? They won't beat you, will they?" Geng Juzhong sighed and said: "Look at how the battle of San Francisco is fought. If I mainly deal with Wu Sangui, be gentle and loyal, and use it to separate San Francisco, my life will not be sad. If the court wins the war, Kangxi is a person who misses old love. They won't do anything to me, and most likely they want to reinstate the official to show their hearts. I'm afraid that if the court loses, then I will surely die. Now that the situation on the battlefield is unpredictable, the emperor's policy is to be gentle and respect the two families. I guess it will be under house arrest for the time being. Yesterday, Long Live already hinted that I have been sick for a while, and it is very likely that I will be taken away by the Thirteenth Yamen in a few days. Rest and heal my body at the same time." Lin Zhitong said: "Grandma's. I want to be locked up together too." Geng Juzhong said: "If you have a wife like this, what do you want from a husband? But this is what I want to tell you, don't be impulsive. You have skills, and you are a girl. As long as they haven't dealt with me harshly, watch over you It’s not too strict, you can get out of course. You don’t have to stay in the capital after you get out. It doesn’t matter if you go back to Fujian directly or wander around the rivers and lakes, but you must not save people, or if you are the emperor and your brother, forcefully break into the palace—this is not reckless , It’s not this set of rules. I’m sitting in the seat of a first-rank official. , The most memorable thing is Baihuahu Yidrun. If you are stupid, you may kill yourself and let the husband have no way out. You must understand this." Lin Zhitong thought for a while and said, "Okay. As long as the emperor doesn't kill you, I won't save you. If he wants to kill you, I'll fight for it." "Okay. Come and die with me. If you get scared again, run away. Don't force it." "Understood. I regret offending that Yan. In fact, as long as I pretend to be like the other wives, eating people's food and not talking about people's words, maybe there won't be so many things." "If you are all-round and exquisite, I don't want you anymore." After speaking, she pushed Lin Zhitong down. Lin Zhitong said: "Be careful, I'm pregnant." Geng Juzhong opened his eyes wide, and the eyeballs radiated light.Carefully holding Lin Zhitong in his palm, he circled around the bed.Said: "God treats me well. You must escape, even if I am beheaded, don't come to rescue me." Tears flowed down after speaking. Lin Zhitong hesitated for a long time, then gritted her teeth and said, "Juzhong, this child is not yours." Juzhong's face was as frozen as a chrysanthemum, and after a long while, he said without thinking: "In the days to come, drink more soup and practice less fisting."
