Chapter 145 Seventh Lady 15
I was worried about the safety of Huo Weilou before, but now that the emperor is determined to seize power, the already heavy haze in Bo Ruoyou's heart has deepened. Huo Weilou went south to clean up the poison of gold ointment, and to save the people of the southwest from fire and water, but When his life and death were uncertain, the emperor only cared about the power in his hands.
A chill filled Bo Ruoyou's heart. She knew that the power of heaven was unpredictable, and she also understood that Huo Weilou had been feared by others for many years. Deep down in her heart, she was even more afraid that these fears would turn into wind and frost swords and pounce on Huo Wei. Dangerous building.
Or maybe someone was trying to kill him for the danger he encountered in the southwest?
Bo Ruoyou's heart was filled with a thin layer of shivers, and his face turned a little pale. Sun Zhao saw this and sighed, "The Marquis is in a high position. If others are good, they can naturally control all the monsters. But once something happens, everyone has their own thoughts, so you don’t have to worry, as long as the Marquis returns safely, the turmoil in the court will be nothing."
Bo Ruoyouqiang composed himself, "Yes, as long as the Marquis returns safely..."
She was really worried, and she had no intention of waiting for Wu Xiang to give a confession. She just thought that the case was settled, so she left the Yamen and left the yamen. On the carriage home, she leaned against the wall and pondered.
Huo Weilou occupies a high position and seems to have great power, but in fact he is surrounded by dangers. On the boat back to Beijing, he even slept with a knife under his pillow. Thinking of this, Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He was in danger in the southwest just for business. But if someone sets up a trap here, or someone takes advantage of his danger to do something else...
Bao Ruoyou took a deep breath and didn't dare to think about it anymore. At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.
There is constant noise outside the curtain. It is still in the busy city. Why did the carriage stop?
"Miss, it's Mr. Lin, and the second son-in-law——"
Zhou Liang's voice sounded outside, Bo Ruoyou frowned slightly, and leaned forward to open the curtain. It was before noon, the sky was cloudless in late autumn, and the sun fell softly on the pedestrians, Bo Ruoyou I saw Lin Zhao and Bo Yixuan at a glance.
The two of them were riding horses in front, followed by several carriages and horses. One of the carriages also opened the curtain, and it was Bo Yixian and her daughter who were in it. The moment Lin Zhao and two stopped, they followed them. The curtains of the carriage behind were also lifted.
"Zhao'er, why don't you leave?" Lin Huai was asking.
Lin Zhao looked at Bo Ruoyou and said without looking back: "Father and mother, I met my second sister."
Lin Huai then raised the curtain high. When Bo Ruoyou saw them, he had to get off the carriage and come forward to greet them. The Lin Zhao family looked at Bo Ruoyou with concern and kindness, but Bo Yixuan was different. , he looked at Bo Ruoyou seriously, with a complicated expression.
Bo Ruoyou saluted Lin Huai and his wife, and lowered the curtains of the carriage behind them. Bo Ruoyou pretended not to notice, and only asked: "It's so early, where did Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin go?" ?"
Lin Huai said: "Your uncle's case has been decided, and today is the day he sets off."
Bo Jingqian was exiled to the North and left Beijing today.
Bo Ruoyou's face suddenly revealed. It turned out that he was going to see her off. Although Bo Jingqian was a criminal, he had a good friend like Lin Huai, so he would naturally be sent off by his relatives. Lin Huai didn't mention it much and only asked her: "I heard there are new cases recently?"
Bo Ruoyou responded, "There is a new case and the murderer has been caught."
Lin Huai looked at Bo Ruoyou happily, but Bo Ruoyou had no intention of chatting with them, "Then I won't disturb Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin when they return home."
She backed away, Lin Huai gave a few more instructions, lowered the curtain and prepared to set off.
Lin Zhao looked at Bo Ruoyou and hesitated for a moment, but did not say much. Bo Yixuan looked at Bo Ruoyou and said, "Are you planning to never return to the Bo family again?"
Bo Ruoyou raised his eyes and looked at him, "Is the Bo family my family?"
Bo Yixuan pursed his lips tightly, said "Whatever you want" and rode away. As soon as their horses moved, Bo Ruoyou got into the carriage. When Bo Yixuan looked back and saw this, he felt even more depressed.
Lin Zhao sighed, "Yixuan, it's not like you don't know her ups and downs over the years, so why bother to make her unhappy?"
Bo Yixuan said dissatisfied: "But she is Bo's daughter, will she follow her adoptive father all her life? Just don't go back to Beijing. After returning to Beijing, she will still be a stranger to Bo. This makes the third uncle and third aunt watch in the spirit of heaven. Why is it so embarrassing? I know that her adoptive father was the former imperial physician of the Cheng family. His Majesty has rehabilitated the Cheng family. In comparison, the Bo family is now in decline, and she is even less willing to come back."
Lin Zhao frowned, "That's not what you're saying. When she first returned to Beijing, before anything happened to the Bo family, she didn't come to see you. Although blood ties are important, there is also a matter of friendship. You To be fair, if she returns to the Bo family, can you really take care of her like Yi Xian?"
Bo Yixuan said in a stiff voice: "She is the daughter of the third uncle and the third aunt. Since she is my sister, I will not treat her poorly."
Lin Zhao seemed to be in disbelief. He shook his head and said nothing more. After a while, the two families went their separate ways.
Bo's house in Changlefang has been confiscated, and now he has moved to the more remote old house of Anningfang. Although it is enough to live in, it is not as grand as Bo's century-old house. Seeing that the carriage is about to enter Anningfang , the depression in Bo Yixian's heart came out again, she just thought, if Bo Jingqian can be an official in a peaceful manner, now the Bo family can use the name of the three ministers of the ancestors, and can still be regarded as a noble official, and she can also He is barely worthy of Lin Zhao, but right now, the Bo family is a family of guilty ministers.
She grabbed Hu's arm nervously and said, "Mom, on an auspicious day, go to the Lin family to arrange a marriage with Aunt Lin, Bob Lin -"
Mrs. Hu was immersed in the panic of her husband leaving Beijing. She was stunned when she heard this. She pondered for a moment and held Bo Yixian's hand again and again, "Yes, Xian'er, you are right, your father is gone. There is no official position in the family, and your second uncle is unable to support the family. Although your brother values you, he is your second uncle's son, and your second aunt is full of thoughtfulness. We must make arrangements for the Lin family's marriage as soon as possible. That's good, otherwise, how can we, mother and daughter, live in the future?"
Mr. Hu started to cry before she finished speaking. Bo Yixian felt extremely distressed, thinking that Mr. Hu was going to arrange a marriage for her before she could bear it.
Even Sun Zhao could see clearly the turmoil in the DPRK. It was impossible for Lin Huai to be unaware of it. Lin Zhao, who was currently working on behalf of the Ministry of Household Affairs, also knew quite well that the next day was the day of rest, so early in the morning The father and son were talking in the study.
Lin Zhao said with some worry: "What kind of regulations are there now? Previously, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have not yet finalized the case of Marquis Changning's involvement in gold paste, but now His Majesty wants His Highness to take over the direct envoys department. This is what he wants. Have you set up a savings account?"
Lin Huai narrowed his eyes, "The eldest prince has mediocre qualifications and is not favored. The second prince has a quick mind and has a favored biological mother... It seems that His Majesty has this intention."
Lin Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "Father, the Marquis is in the southwest. Isn't it serious that he won't come back?"
"How could it be?" Lin Huai raised his chin slightly, "The Marquis must have really encountered difficulties this time. It's just that the Marquis has been in charge of the direct envoys over the years and has made many arrangements secretly. He will never be able to do so easily. Fold to the southwest."
Lin Zhao sighed, "But there has been no news for many days."
Lin Huai narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, "If you think like this, I'm afraid there is more than one person. Just wait and see, some people can't wait. As for our Lin family, Jin Shou's way of being a minister is to stand still. ."
Lin Zhao responded, but at this moment, a steward came quickly from outside, "Master, Young Master, someone from the Bo family is here."
Lin Huai was slightly surprised, "Is there someone from the Bo family?"
"Yes, the eldest lady, the eldest lady, the second master and the second lady, and the young master are here too."
The big family came together, and when they saw that it was not an ordinary visit to visit relatives, Lin Huai's heart sank, but he still got up with Lin Zhao to greet them. When they arrived at the main hall, he saw that the Bo family had already sat down in the hall.
Mr. Chu was talking to Mrs. Hu. When she saw his father and son approaching, everyone stood up to greet them.
Lin Huai smiled and said: "Why come here so early?"
Ms. Chu gave Lin Huai a look. Lin Huai looked at her eyes but didn't show it on her face. Mrs. Hu glanced at the second master, Bo Jingli, and he immediately stood up and said: "Brother Lin, let the children speak for themselves first." ."
As soon as he heard this, Lin Huai figured out their purpose of coming. He felt it was a little tricky, so he still ordered Lin Zhao to take the Bo Yixuan brothers and sisters for a walk in the garden.
Bo Yixian followed out with a blank and innocent look on her face, but she was a little nervous in her heart.
After returning home last night, Mrs. Hu only felt that she would have long nights and dreams if she had to wait any longer, so she found Bo Jingli and wanted to settle the marriage as soon as possible. Although Bo Jingli was a little anxious, he still couldn't resist Mr. Hu's toughness, so he had to After agreeing to take this trip, Wei would accompany him, so he naturally had to put in some effort on his face.
After Bo Yixian walked out of the door, she looked back and just hoped that the wedding date would be set earlier today.
Lin Zhao didn't think about their purpose for a while, but he also felt a little strange. After leaving the courtyard, he asked: "What's wrong? But what happened in the house?"
Bo Yixuan glanced at Bo Yixian, thinking that Lin Zhao would know about it soon, and said: "It's not for anything else, but just for you and Xian'er."
Lin Zhao paused for a moment before realizing that he was lost in thought for a moment, but his eyes did not fall on Bo Yixian. This marriage had been planned for many years, and sooner or later, he and Bo Yixian would grow up together. Even if there is no such good match, it can still be regarded as a life-long friendship, not to mention that the two families have already discussed the marriage.
Bo Yixian was blushing by Bo Yixuan's directness. She walked at the end, her cheeks were blushing, and she raised her eyelashes. She shyly looked at Lin Zhao, but she only saw Lin Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then became calm. 's nodded.
Lin Zhaodao: "It's good for parents to make the final decision when it comes to children's marriage."
After saying this, he changed the subject and asked about Bo Yixuan's recent schoolwork. Bo Yixian felt quite disappointed in her heart. Lin Zhao had always been steady and steady, but after all, he was still a young man in his twenties. When it came to marriage, he always There should be two joyful expectations, but there was nothing strange on his face, as if he was on a routine business trip.
Thinking of this, Bo Yixian perked up again. It didn't matter, he was just too calm. At least he accepted it. He accepted it, and the Lin family was trustworthy. It would be great if this marriage went on without any trouble. .
In the main hall, Lin Huai looked at Mrs. Hu and said: "Originally, it was said that after spring next year, now it is still early, so we can slowly look at the days. And now the six rites have only passed the birth date, so we have to follow the birthday. Come one by one with courtesy."
Ms. Hu said with a kind smile: "Yes, it was originally said to be after the spring of next year, but a few days ago before her father left, he asked someone to take care of him, saying that the one he was most worried about was Xian'er, so he could get married earlier. I will get married early, and I will find a Taoist priest to settle it, and then Dongyue will have a good life."
It is now late August, and it is now September. If you get married in the winter month, you will only have less than two months to prepare. Lin Huai looked at Mrs. Chu, who also had a troubled look on her face. He twitched his lips and looked at Mrs. Hu, "Are you too anxious? Two months of work is too late to prepare, and the Lin family is not in the capital. Just inviting the elders of the clan will take a lot of effort. Not to mention that the betrothal gift is not complete yet, these gifts are not thoughtful at all, isn’t it wronging Xian’er?”
The smile on Mrs. Hu's face couldn't be held back for a moment, "If we want to reach next year, we still have more than half a year to do it. It's really too long..."
If nothing had happened to Bo Jingqian, half a year would be nothing. But now that the Bo family has plummeted, Mrs. Hu feels more and more anxious and uneasy when she thinks that this marriage has a wrong origin. She just wants to let Bo Yixian and Lin Zhao get married tomorrow. That's good.
"I have been waiting for so many years, so there is no need to worry about the past six months. You said that Jing Qian is worried, and I understand. However, he will get married sooner or later, so it is better to be careful and safe." Lin Huai did not let go. meaning.
Hu looked at Bo Jingli. Bo Jingli was a soft-spoken person. Seeing that Lin Huai did not intend to change the date, he naturally could not say anything harsh. Before he opened his mouth, he was already nodding his head in agreement.
Mrs. Hu felt very angry and glanced at Mr. Wei. She was sitting leisurely and had no intention of opening her mouth. Ms. Hu gritted her teeth and said, "Xian'er is not picky, and neither is our family. The two of us are not picky. The family is a family friend, and there is no grievance or grievance. As long as the betrothal gift is correct on the surface, it is fine. According to my opinion, Lin Zhao is not too young. It is also good for him to be a year and a half earlier."
Lin Huai and the Chu family both looked a bit unhappy. Lin Huai's position as Minister of Punishment has not yet been decided. Lin Zhao has temporarily joined the Household Department and has not fallen behind. Both father and son are in a critical moment, not to mention the earlier meeting. It was agreed that the wedding date would be next year, just for the sake of Lin Huai and Lin Zhao's official careers. It was impossible for Bo Yixian and Lin Zhao to get married immediately.
This marriage has caused a lot of discussion inside and outside the court. Now that the case of the Golden Cream and the Ministry of Household Corruption has not been fully finalized, wedding invitations have to be widely distributed saying that the son of the Lin family is getting married to the daughter of the Bo family. This does not need to be thought about. What kind of gossip will it cause.
Mrs. Chu suppressed her anger and said: "Why... why are you suddenly anxious? In this situation, the case of the Ministry of Household Affairs has not yet been decided, and the master is still the chief official of the case. Let Zhao'er and Xian'er get married at this time. It’s not good for both families.”
It’s okay not to mention this case. When she mentioned this case, she immediately mentioned Hu’s sore point. She could no longer keep the smile on her face and said, "I think it’s not good for the Lin family? Does Mr. Lin think it's a bad thing?" Things have changed in our family now. If Zhao'er marries Xian'er, will it bring disgrace to the Lin family and affect your career?"
Ms. Hu knew that Lin Huai was going to be a minister. Thinking that he was just a minister, she hated Bo. If he became a minister, as long as he said that the marriage would not count, wouldn't Bo Yixian's second half of his life be ruined, so he became more and more angry. Make up your mind to get married before the end of the year.
Lin Huai did not expect Mrs. Hu to be so rude. This was a tacit statement, but Mr. Hu was able to say it openly. He blushed and felt helpless and depressed, "There is no such thing as a shameful statement. , It’s just that Brother Bo’s case is not good-looking, and even the Lin family has to avoid it. Xian’er will marry into the Lin family in the future, and she will be well off if the Lin family is good. You can’t help but understand this truth——”
In the past, Ms. Hu would have understood this statement, but now that her husband has been convicted, she no longer has the honor and honor of the official family. The grief and anger over the past few days have already made her extreme and stubborn. She said with a stern face: "We still have to avoid taboos. What? This marriage was decided back then, and now it’s just a matter of getting married earlier in accordance with the articles of association. Anyway, I have already made up my mind. If you don’t want to, it means you hate Xian’er because of Bo’s conviction. I will go back today. Official media will be invited to visit, and the etiquette we should observe will not be less. If you are really busy, I will tell you the days. The whole capital knows that the Lin family and the Bo family have a long-standing engagement. Are you unwilling to keep your word?"
When Mrs. Chu heard this, she felt a throbbing pain in her chest, "You... you are so unreasonable!"
Hu's eyes were red and she wiped her eyes, "How can I say this? Now that we are orphans and widowed, I am only dedicated to Xian'er and Zhao'er——"
Lin Huai's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, but Mrs. Chu couldn't help it. She stood up suddenly, "No one likes you to discuss the marriage of your children——"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Chu felt a sharp pain in her heart, and golden light flashed in front of her eyes. She screamed in pain, covered her heart and fell to the ground. Lin Huai was startled, and her eyes were quick to help her. Stop, "Madam! What's wrong with you?"
In an instant, Mrs. Chu's face turned as white as paper, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She opened her mouth, but there was only a sound of pain. Lin Huai's face changed with fright, and she immediately ordered the attendant to call a doctor!
This situation also frightened the Bo family. Several people stood up together, and Madam Hu was so frightened that her legs weakened. How could she have thought that such a playful act could make Madam Chu so angry? !
Seeing that the Chu family was not doing well, Lin Huai did not dare to be rude, and shouted out, "Go and ask the Ming Court Master -" After saying that, he thought that Ming Zhonghuai was afraid of being on duty in the palace, so he quickly changed his words, " Go and invite Cheng Yunzhi!"
The main hall was in a commotion for a while, and soon, two servants ran into the garden with white faces to look for Lin Zhao!
Lin Zhao didn’t ask them when he saw them, but one of them said: "Master, go and have a look. Madam was so angry that she fainted. I'm afraid...I'm afraid something bad will happen..."
When Lin Zhao heard this, he felt like a thunderbolt from the blue. Bo Yixian on the side felt as if he was struck by lightning. After carefully discussing the wedding date, how could Mrs. Lin faint from anger? !
Seeing Lin Zhao running towards the main courtyard like the wind, Bo Yixian suddenly felt a deep fear in her heart.
