Chapter 546: [2 more] Dress as a substitute for marriage sickness (23)

Lin Ruoshan is dreaming, and her ambition is rapidly growing. The longer she stays in the palace and the more she knows, the greater her ambition becomes. But reaching the sky in one step is not necessarily a good thing. Lin Ruoshan has never experienced growth. She suddenly entered a dye vat of the size of the palace, and even an ordinary lady of the court can't fight it. Gradually, she discovered that she was not favored.
Although the emperor would be lucky to her for five days in ten days, she could hardly speak to the emperor, and occasionally said a few requests, the emperor would satisfy her if he was happy, but more often he would ignore it.
Lin Ruoshan naturally didn't dare to play a petty temper with the emperor. If she didn't go well, she vented on the grand palace lady, so she suffered no less. The close-fitting court lady stumbled her, she couldn't hide her, and she couldn't even guess who caused her.
She occupied so many days of the emperor, the concubines in the harem were naturally jealous. The imperial garden happened to be punished and kneeled and slapped. Walking around in the palace, Lin Ruoshan can meet people of higher rank than her, and even hiding in the house can be punished by others, and her life is extremely difficult.
This hard time has honed her. She is growing up while being injured, and her words and deeds are not the same as when she was in Fucheng. She finally found the way to protect herself, that is, to use Lingquan to make snacks and soups to please the empress dowager.
The queen mother is fifty years old, and her body and bones are not as good as a young man, but after she ate what Lin Ruoshan made, she became full of energy. After the doctor's examination, he determined that the food was all right, and the chef also said that Lin Ruoshan was just a normal practice.
It's like brewing wine. No abnormality can be found. It can only be said that Lin Ruoshan is blessed by heaven, and the things she made with her skillful hands are extraordinary.
Lin Ruoshan also spoke, and said to the emperor and the queen mother with a pleasing smile: "It must be God who wants to use the hand of the concubine to nourish the emperor and the empress dowager's body, prolong life, and the emperor and the empress dowager are both chosen by nature. The little girl who was sent to serve."
The phrase "The Chosen One" successfully pleased the emperor and the queen mother. Since then, Lin Ruoshan has shown her face in front of the queen mother and cooks food for the queen mother and the emperor every day. It is natural that others will not trouble her anymore. Settle down in the palace.
However, she also clearly realized that this was still far from the gap between her fantasy status and being able to step on Xu Zifan casually. Once again, she merely tentatively mentioned the past, and the emperor remained unconcerned, and did not see her for a few days. She didn't dare to mention it anymore, remembering her identity, putting aside all the past, and devoted herself to serving the emperor and queen mother.
It was supposed to be the wealth and glory of the Master, but Lin Ruoshan felt exhausted. In front of the two most distinguished people in the world, she had to breathe carefully, never dared to say a word wrong, and tried her best to please flattery. It was more tiring one day than she was born a year later.
In the dead of night, she actually missed the days when she could scold and bully the Lin family. But she is not small in the end, this ambition supports her and makes her go on hard even if she is exhausted. She wants to take revenge on those imperial concubines who have bullied her. If she is liked by the queen mother, sooner or later she will be truly pampered by the emperor and trample them all down!
Lin Ruoshan survived carefully in the palace, and Xu Zifan and Lin Ruonan lived leisurely in Fucheng. The cloth workshop will be closed for one day every month, and Xu Zifan will take his parents and Lin Ruonan on an outing.
Fishing, hunting, flower picking, and picnic are all fun to play. Xu's father and Xu's mother have been worrying about their sons for more than ten years. They have never relaxed, and they are not in the mood to go where to play. Lin Ruonan was treated harshly by her stepmother and had no chance to play.
Xu Zifan took them to do a lot of interesting things, and others didn't understand it after they learned about it. The master did not study hard or look for errands. How could he not cook for his family or take his family to play? Isn't it too unfair?
But whenever a student invites Xu Zifan to a party, Xu Zifan's literary talent can always amaze everyone. Someone once persuaded Xu Zifan: "Brother Tai'an, there is no end to learning, you are so talented, you must not be arrogant and complacent to waste this talent. Plaything and lose your ambition, good men should serve the country, and should not indulge in the joys of the family and the love of children. what."
Xu Zifan just smiled back and said: "How much power do you have to cultivate your body, align your family, rule the country, and level the world. Although I have fame and fame now, I can't get many good jobs to serve the country, so it's better to prepare. Next year’s test. In this respect, I think I’m fairly humble, and I’ve never given up reading, so I can’t talk about indulging in joy. I was frail and sick for 18 years, and my parents worked hard to bring me up. I Naturally, I have to pay back when they are not busy and make them happy. Wives should be more sincere when they marry home. The so-called family harmony, I pay attention to my own conduct and family harmony, which is also a kind of practice. Do you think? "
The students were speechless by him, and he insisted on saying that he had delayed his studies and that they were better than them. What qualifications do they have to make irresponsible remarks? In terms of debate, no one can say Xu Zifan. What's more, he has a firm will. Anyone who wants to debate with him will feel lack of confidence. Before he speaks, he will know that he will lose. After a long time, no one will mention it. He will only feel that Xu Zifan. I don't know if he will miss him, hurt Zhongyong, and the genius may not be able to go far.
One year passed quickly, and the cloth shop's business became even hotter. Lin Ruonan opened another dyeing cloth shop to study pigment dyeing by himself, and also invited several weaving masters to study and weave exquisite patterns together. Xujia Clothshop has its own signboard, and has different characteristics from other cloth workshops. The business is naturally more prosperous, and a branch has also been opened.
The day for Xu Zifan to take the test is finally approaching, and the family will inevitably get a little excited. He wants to enter Beijing some time in advance and live there to take the test safely. Lin Ruonan insisted on going with him.
"You go alone and don't even have a person to take care of you. If you are hungry or sick, there will be no one to ask for help. The store is looked after by parents, and I must go with you."
Xu's mother also meant this, "Zifan, the capital is so far away, we really can't rest assured, if it weren't for the cloth shop, we would all want to follow along. You let Ruonan follow, we can rest assured that she is there, we I'm not so worried."
Xu Zifan was originally afraid of Lin Ruonan’s hard work and didn’t want her to toss, but after seeing so persistently, he agreed, "Then I will go with Ruonan and leave in five days. My parents don’t have to worry. I will come back after the exam. ."
"Yes, nothing else matters, the most important thing is peace. You two should take care of each other."
Father Xu and Mother Xu couldn't let go of the son who had been raising him for more than ten years in the palm of his hand, leaving them so far away for the first time. Fortunately, Lin Ruonan followed. They still remember what the master said. Lin Ruonan is Xu Zifan's lucky star and his destined wife. Together, these young couples will only achieve each other's success and benefit each other. Thinking about it this way, they felt more at ease, carefully prepared things for Xu Zifan to travel, and personally sent them away five days later.
With enough time, Xu Zifan and Lin Ruonan didn't rush, and they would go in and have a look at larger or distinctive towns, and traveled all the way to the capital.
Seeing the bustling state of the capital, Lin Ruonan sighed: "I thought Anyang Mansion is good enough. It turns out that the capital is many times better than Anyang Mansion."
Xu Zifan smiled and said, "Then do you want to come to Beijing to settle down? Move our cloth shop over."
Lin Ruonan was taken aback when he heard the words, "You mean...we are all coming to the capital?" As soon as this thought came out, Lin Ruonan couldn't let go of it anymore, "Okay, my parents will agree. You will study hard these days. , I’ll take a good look at the capital and see how we can move over smoothly. This is a big deal, and now our family business is considered a small success, so we can’t make a mistake."
Xu Zifan took out a letter from her arms and showed it to her, "This is from Master Liang. Let me visit Liang's family in the capital. Master Liang's family is here. His brother is a minister of the Ministry of Rites, from the third grade."
Lin Ruonan said happily, "Master Liang is very kind to you, so that you can go smoothly in Beijing. Brother Zifan, let's find a place to live. We can go around in Beijing anytime. We will settle down and visit earlier. Mr. Liang, can also find a business that Kaibufang can cooperate with earlier."
"Well, let's rent a better one directly. We can live for a longer period of time, and we can also settle down temporarily in the future. The house in Beijing is expensive, and the money in the house will be used to open a shop first, and then buy a house later."
"Well, then rent a more comfortable one, a better location, so you can't let your parents come to the capital to suffer."
After the two discussed, they started looking for a dental inspection. Shaohua was able to scan a two-kilometer radius. It was very simple to find a good house. Xu Zifan only had to do a good job and then lead him in that direction, and he successfully rented a yard that he liked.
Lin Ruonan smiled while cleaning and said, "It seems that what we really do is going well, even when we rent a house in Beijing."
Xu Zifan joked: "Of course, my mother has given us the horoscope. We are destined to be a husband and wife. Together, we will bless each other and everything goes well."
After being married for so long, Lin Ruonan already knew that Xu Zifan didn't believe these words at all. It was only because Xu's father and Xu's mother were happy, so he took this seriously, and then worked hard to live a good life and let his parents rest assured.
She lowered her head and smiled, fetched water to wipe Xu Zifan's face, and said softly: "When we move to the capital and make our home here, our children will also grow up in the capital. They have lived in such a rich place since childhood. happy."
Xu Zifan rubbed her hair, "You are still young. When I become an official, our children will be the children of the official family when they are born. Then you won't have to take care of the shop so hard, and be an official wife to help me take care of it. In the inner house, just befriend other ladies."
Lin Ruonan felt happy at the thought of such a scene, and nodded heavily. Nowadays, only in front of Xu Zifan can she show a little girl's temperament. She is a majestic proprietress on weekdays. She is neat and talkative, which often makes people forget that she is not yet eighteen.
Lin Ruonan took Xu Zifan's words in her heart, and she only remembered that she still didn't know many words, and she didn't understand the etiquette of the big family. She had to find the opportunity to learn these things, and then she could be a good wife to her husband.
