Chapter 44: Injustice

The hustle and bustle outside the teahouse has nothing to do with Yao Wenyin. She sat on the stool in a daze for a long time, and she hadn't recovered from this huge blow for a long time.
"Sister Yao, are you okay?" Tian Shan pushed Yao Wenyin's favorite pastry in front of her. "Come, eat something to ease your emotions."
"I was wrong." Yao Wenyin took a piece of pastry into his mouth, almost choked himself, and drank half a cup of tea before slowing down. "That day I met Hua Liuli in Wenquxing Temple, and saw her in front of Wenquxing. Pray for the elder brother, and sarcasm her."
Speaking of which, Yao Wenyin was annoyed: "I already knew that Wenqu Xingguan was so spiritual, not to mention donating incense money, even if it made me kowtow, why wouldn't the brother of Hualili crush my brother."
"Wait, what are you talking about?" Jia Min looked at Yao Wenyin in shock and sympathy. How hard is it to think about it before going offended Hualili?
"I saw Hua Liuli praying to her brother in Wenqu Xingguan." Yao Wenyin said in frustration, "I must have offended Wenquxing, and my brother didn't get a good ranking."
"The gods and ghosts say that this is nothing but how to blame you?" Jia Min comforted, "Thinking about everything in the best, maybe it has nothing to do with Hualili's begging God to worship Buddha, but her brother is more than her cousin. Talented?"
Yao Wenyin looked at Jia Min in silence, unable to speak for a while.
Such words, really called comfort?
"I mean, maybe the cousin was only acting abnormally for a while, so that Hualili's brother took the meeting for the time being." Jia Min quickly changed his mind, "I won't be able to tell until the temple test."
"Jia Min was right." Tian Shan hurried out to ease the atmosphere. "Sister Yao, brother Ling has already passed the exam very well. He will try once every three years. He can take the fifth place, which has proven his extraordinary talents. What we should do is to celebrate him well, not to think about other unrelated trivial matters."
"You are right, everything is going to be good." Yao Wenyin took a deep breath. "Although my brother is not Huiyuan, he also took the fifth place. I remember Lin Yun's brother also participated in this How about his exams at the second meeting?"
Tian Shan and Jia Min shook their heads together, they didn't even notice it.
Yao Wenyin asked the waiter to go down and inquire, and learned that Lin Yun's brother only took the seventh place, and he was in a better mood again.
Although it is inadequate, it is more than that.
The palace attendants who were sent to pick up Hualili to the palace just arrived at the gate of the flower house, and heard the Annunciation person knocking on the gong and drums, shouting "Congratulations to Playboy High School Member."
Huiyuan?
Wouldn’t that be the first?
The headed female officer raised her hand to signal the carriage to avoid and let the passage out. She watched the Hua family welcome the Annunciation to the gate. The Lord Fushou followed the two generals with a smile on her face, and even walked a lot more cheerfully than usual.
The sound of crackling firecrackers sounded, and across the high courtyard walls, the female officers could feel the cheerful atmosphere.
"Shall we go in now?"
"Wait again." The female officer said, "We will go around the street and come back after half an hour."
"I knew that San Ge was the smartest beautiful man in the whole street." The person who sent away the news, the door closed, Hua Liuli jumped up in joy, "San Ge, how are you!"
"During this time, you have made it hard for me to cook for me in the kitchen." Hua Changli sees Hua Liuli's cheeks flushed with joy, and a warmth rises in her heart.
This is always the case with his family. He has achieved results, and they are even happier than him. When he is not happy or unsatisfactory, he will not blindly blame, but accompany him and comfort him.
Having these lovely family members is the luckiest thing in his life.
"You three have fun for a while, I will arrange for someone to give you the news of your elder brother and second brother, and your grandfather's side, you will also send someone to notify." Wei Mingyue looked at a stupid husband and child, and smiled Patted Hua Changkong's shoulder and got out of the study.
Waiting for Wei Mingyue to leave, Hua Yingting digs in and out of the body for a long time, pulls out several silver tickets with different denominations, and puts them in the hands of Hua Changkong in an atmosphere: "Take it, this is a reward for your father ."
"Wow, Dad, did you actually hide nearly a few hundred dollars of private house money?" Hua Liuli looked at the amount and whispered, "You know you're done if your mother knows it."
"Little girl knows what." Hua Yingting smiled, "It's fun for men and women to hide some private room money. Besides, I'm trying to hide this silver, and I don't spend it on you anymore?"
As a husband, I always have to find a way to prepare some surprises for my wife every year. Where does the money come from?
Of course it is private housing money.
As a father, when children celebrate their birthdays or perform well, they always have to buy gifts to encourage them. Where does the money come from?
Still private money.
Watching the private house money increase a little bit, it is satisfaction.
It is a sense of accomplishment to spend money on private houses on the people who value the most.
"You are still too young." Hua Yingting reached out and nodded the heads of her children. "Do you think I'm afraid your mother-in-law knows this? I tell you..."
Footsteps were heard outside the corridor. Hua Yingting held Hua Changkong's hand and put the silver ticket into his arms. He said loudly: "A man is afraid of his wife, what he is doing is a good man. Changkong, you remember No?"
"I don't have a shape all day, what do I say to the children?" Wei Mingyue went to the door. "Take the children to incense the ancestors first, and you wash your hands and come to the ancestral hall."
"Okay, ma'am." Hua Yingting squeezed a flattering smile.
Hua Changkong looked at Hua Yingting with Hua Liuli, showing a delicate smile.
"Daddy is not afraid of his mother."
"It's just terrified."
Hua Yingting was so thick-faced that she was teased and annoyed by the two children, and drove the two children out of the door like a duck: "Come on, wash your hands and fragrant."
The two brothers and sisters made a lot of fun, and Hua Liuli took the opportunity to draw two silver tickets from Hua Changkong's arms and stuff them into his pocket.
Compared with the lively flower family, the Lin family is quite deserted.
"This time you will have a good ranking, but at your level, there should be no problem in entering the top three." Lin Zhou looked at his bowing son, "Don't be proud or self-satisfied. Have a good play."
"Yes." Lin Sen looked up at Lin Zhou, hesitating for a moment, and then said: "After the meeting, the candidates of the same session are about to eat in the restaurant..."
"The hall test is imminent, and the students are too close to be suspected of gang formation." Lin Zhou thought a little. "Try not to participate in these activities as much as possible, and study the books at home."
"Son remembered." Lin Sen's eyes dimmed, "Father, the son returned to the study to read."
"Well." Lin Zhou nodded calmly. After his son left, he smiled with satisfaction.
Although he was born in a humble beginning, as long as his children and grandchildren fought for enthusiasm, in another hundred years, their Lin family could barely be regarded as a poetry family.
An idea flashed in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.
As a person, you should never have this idea.
The capital city is too prosperous, and it is easy to lose yourself if you are careless.
Near noon, Hua Liuli got on the carriage into the palace and went to find the queen mother in a very good mood.
As soon as she entered the Shoukang Palace, she saw the prince sitting next to the queen mother. After seeing the ceremony, Hualili smiled at the prince: "His Royal Highness, are you coming to the queen mother to rub and eat?"
"If you go to the palace today, your grandmother will prepare ready meals. You can't miss such a good opportunity." The prince pretended to be a pretender. "In the future, the county will go to the palace more often, and the orphans can also spoil some food."
The queen mother was amused by the two juniors: "You don't hurry to bring out the food, otherwise the two children will blame the family for not eating or drinking."
"Mother Empress, the servant girl is not the same as the prince. At your side, the servant girl is happy even if she eats bran pharyngeal." Hua Liuli blessed her body, squinting her head and smiling, "You just want to abandon the prince."
"Yes, yes, our glaze is an intimate little coat." The queen mother was amused by Hua Liuli's laughter. Even when she was using her meal, she didn't pay attention to the rules in the palace and listened to Hua Liuli talking about the fun outside the palace.
Hua Liuli knows how to coax the elderly happy. In the same thing, she always has a lot of fun to say. The queen mother was coaxed and used half a bowl of health soup.
"None of us can compare with the master of the county." After the utensils were removed, the female officer brought a cup of tea to the queen mother. "On weekdays, the lady always thinks that the soup does not taste good, and she puts it down after a sip. There was a master of the county, but the lady had finished a whole bowl, and the slave-servants could not wait for the master of the county to live in Shoukang Palace every day."
This female officer is called Hong Mian, and she is a useful one for the Empress Dowager. Hua Liuli is also close to her. Listening to her saying this, Hua Liuli nodded and said with a smile: "I'll make a note of it first, and then I will run to the queen mother for three days and two days. ."
"Don't go, don't go, you have always lived in the Ai family, and the Ai family also likes it." The Queen Mother said intimately, "If you marry someone in the future, if the husband's family has something that is not good for you, you will come to Ai Jia, Ai Jia supports you."
The prince sitting next to him ignored her silently and looked up at the queen mother. When she saw the queen mother she didn't even look at him, she hung her head back silently.
"There is such a good mother-in-law who protects her servants, and what kind of confidantes are." Hua Liuli joked half-truly, "It's so good, the servants want to accompany you and come to see you, at Shoukang Palace No one speaks for a few more days. If you become a pro, you should not only care about the views of your parents-in-law, but also your husband and children."
The empress smiled helplessly and shook her head: "It's still a child's mentality."
But I felt vaguely in my heart that Huali's words made some sense. But as a queen mother, these words cannot be proclaimed, and it will cause trouble if they are spread.
"Sovereign, if there will be a man who respects your hobbies and frees you to live, will you marry him?" asked the prince.
"There shouldn't be such a man?" Hua Liuli thought, if there were really good men she could tolerate in other capitals, she would not have the heart to hurt others.
A good man hurts a woman, not to spoil her.
Sin and sin, you can't think about this kind of thing.
"Why not?" The prince smiled. "Love can accommodate everything."
Hua Liuli looked at the prince dumbfounded: "Love, can people be so bearable?"
Can someone fall in love with the green hat he gave?
Is love so terrible?
She still don't want to get married, and don't like others.
The Prince's words not only did not make Hua Liuli moved or yearned, but instead showed a respectful expression, could not help reflecting, is there a certain misunderstanding between him and Hua Liuli?
"Mother, I heard the news." The court lady walked in cheerfully and saluted Lin Lin: "Congratulations to Miss Lin, my brother will try this time and get a good result of seventh place."
"It's worthy of Master Lin's son. Sure enough, he didn't fall into the name of Lin Jiawei." Xian Fei was very happy to hear this news. "Quick, send a gift to Master Lin and Master Gong."
"Mother, please don't spend money." Lin Yun's cheeks were flushed with excitement, but he remained calm in front of the princess, "Brother is just the seventh place to take the opportunity, where is it to be treated as a mother."
The emperor concubine was embarrassed to tell her future daughter-in-law that their Tian family had no talents in reading and reading, let alone the seventh place. Anyone in the family who passed the show was grateful.
In the past thirty years, no one from the Tian family has won good results in the top 20.
"Miss Lin doesn't have to be humble, this is a good thing, and it's worth being happy." Xian Fei patted Lin Wan's arm and asked the close lady to open her private library to prepare gifts.
The concubine thought that the Lin family had entered Beijing for the first time, and they did not set up much industry, so in addition to pen, ink, paper, ink, and also preparing to send some gold and silver jewelry together.
The Tian family ancestors were imperial merchants, and they saved a lot of family business.
After drafting the gift list, the concubine suddenly remembered that the three sons of the flower family also participated in the meeting, and asked smoothly: "That flower is in the sky, can I be on the list?"
"Hui Niangniang, the three sons are on the list." The voice of the maiden who spoke back was a lot quieter.
"He could even pass the exam?" The concubine sneered. "Wei Mingyue and Hua Yingting could also raise a son who was a tribute to the exam. It's rare. How many names did he take?"
The maiden glanced at Xian Fei and Lin Yuan, hesitant to speak.
"Why, his ranking is hard to tell?"
"Niangniang, the three sons of flowers and flowers are the members of this session..."
"What are you talking about?" Xian Fei almost ripped her gift list in half. "Hua Changkong turned out to be Huiyuan?"
"Is there a Huiyuan taught in Qinghanzhou?" Suddenly, Xianfei wanted to go back to her mother's house and beat all her nephews. Seeing that people can take the Huiyuan in Huakongkong, they couldn't even pass a show. Ashamed, not ashamed? !
Seeing the concubine's reaction so great, Lin Yun felt a little uncomfortable. It should be said that since she knew that Hua Liuli had almost become King's fiancee, she couldn't help but compare with Hua Liuli.
She couldn't even restrain guessing whether the princess of the imperial concubine would regret that she had not appointed Hualili as the future princess of England, and she began to despise herself.
My elder brother has been studying hard since he was young.
With such an episode, Xian Fei went halfway in a good mood, Lin Lin was even more uneasy. She always felt that although the court ladies still respected her on the surface, she secretly mocked her.
Laughing her brother has a father who is the champion, but he is no match for the son of the general's family.
She was tormented by this embarrassment and stayed up all night. Until the next morning, she accompanied the empress concubine to the queen mother to see her. Seeing Hua Liuli sitting next to the queen mother, she talked with the empress and laughed freely. This embarrassment turned into hatred. With jealousy.
If there is no flower Liuli, she may not have so many embarrassing moments in her life.
When the empress concubine talked to the queen mother about the marriage of the king, she asked Hua Liuli to go out with Lin Wan. These things were not appropriate in the face of the little girl.
Lin Yun restlessly followed behind Hua Liuli, and she watched Hua Liuli dressed up and said nothing. She had inquired with the maid last night. It is said that the empress dowager likes Hua Liuli very much. Every time she enters the palace, the empress will prepare a lot of good things for her, which is better than treating her own daughter.
Thinking of the bland attitude towards the Empress Dowager just now, Lin Yun was very uncomfortable. Was the empress dowager dislike her or was she dissatisfied with her family background?
"The Lin family's money is a bit boring." The Queen Mother didn't agree with the concubine's marriage date around Mid-Autumn Festival. "Ai Jia worried that Ming Hao wouldn't get along well with her, it would be better to observe for a while."
"The queen mother, Minghao's child has a straight temperament, it is only like a gentle girl like Lin Wan, can he get along well with him. If you meet those straight-tempered or squeamish, wouldn't the needle point be against Maimang and quarrel every day? Xian Fei laughed with her, "not to mention the fact that when men's colleges are married and women's colleges are married, it's not good to marry for a long time."
The Queen Mother knew who the "temper straight" and "squeamish" mentioned in Xian Fei's mouth. From her perspective, it was better for the King to marry Jiamin or Liuli than the Miss Lin family.
It's not that Miss Lin's family is bad, but she thinks that these two children are inappropriate.
"Alas." The Queen Mother said, "Ai's family is old, and you still have to make decisions with the emperor for these waste gods."
Not deaf, dumb, and not a family member, too many old women are suspected. She just distressed the child, people have spent only a few decades in her life, and lived up to the good times of her youth.
"The Lord is very happy." Lin Yun walked side by side with Hua Liuli on the palace road, above their heads, there was a high sky, "Congratulations on making Brother Huihui."
"Thank you." Hua Liuli nodded and nodded.
"My brother did not play well this time, and the county master laughed."
Hua Liuli silently moved a step aside, a little farther away from Lin Wan, how did Lin's son test her relationship with her, why did she cry or laugh?
"Miss Lin laughed. It wasn't his brother who did better than Ling Ling. I don't think everyone would laugh." Hua Liuli stopped and said lightly. "I think Miss Lin seems to have misunderstood me. There are a lot of speculations, Miss Lin please first."
Lin Yun's face became very ugly, she said palely: "It's not that I deliberately embarrassed the county master, I'm afraid the county master deliberately made things difficult for me."
Hua Liuli looked at Lin Wan from head to toe and sneered: "Miss Lin, do you think you have something worth embarrassing me?"
Lin Yun looked at Hua Liuli quietly without speaking.
"I have always admired Ling Zun's talent and dignity. As Lin's daughter, Ms. Lin should not fall into the reputation of her brother because of her impulse." Hua Liuli's face was expressionless and solemn. "Miss Lin's abnormality today, I think For the sake of Master Lin, he will not be rumored or accountable. But I am not only timid, but also small-minded, I hope not to have another time."
After talking, turn around and walk in the opposite direction.
"You have the scenery of today, but it's just relying on the elders in your family. How long do you think your flower family can be?" Lin Yun was irritated by Hualili's words and asked aloud, "Don't be too proud."
Hualili stopped and turned to look at Lin Wan, suddenly smiled, reached over his forehead, and groaned softly: "My head hurts and I can't breathe."
"Sovereign, are you okay, Sovereign?" Iris took a big step and stepped forward to hold Hua Liuli.
Hualili's eyelids shuddered, her head dizzy.
"Go to the doctor soon."
"Come here."
Determined that the queen mother would not intervene in her son's marriage, Xian Fei was so determined that she was ready to get up and resign, and heard the noise from outside.
"What happened?" asked the queen mother.
"Queen Mother." Hongmian hurried into the inner hall, glanced at the concubine, and said to the Queen Mother, "The master of the anxiety is furious and fainted."
"What?!" The queen mother was anxious. "Okay, how can you be so annoyed? Aren't you letting you wait for the master of the county, all of you are wooden heads?"
"Please Queen Mother forgive sins." Hong Mian knelt in front of the Queen Mother.
"Queen Mother." Hualili walked in with a pale look supported by her maid, and she grinned reluctantly. "It has nothing to do with other people. It's just that the servant girl is too weak to rest after a while."
"Sit down." The Queen Mother asked the ladies to sit down holding Hua Liuli, "Any feeling sick?"
"Sisters and daughters just did not come up in a single breath. The court eunuchs who served the courtiers were very good at the courtiers and daughters. They thought that the courtiers were fainted, so they would be so nervous." Hua Liuli's voice was a little weak, "This is all old. , It’s fine after taking the medicine."
The Empress Dowager noticed the word "Qi" and immediately frowned tightly: "Who is so ignorant, knowing that you are in poor health and annoying you?"
"It doesn't have much to do with others, it's the bad temper of the courtier..."
"Nonsense, your temperament is not known yet. If you are anxious, why would you be so angry?" The Queen Mother refused to say Hualili and asked Hongmian: "You tell Aijia, what happened just now What happened?"
Hongmian told the queen mother the story: "Miss Lin asked the master of the county, saying that when the flower family could be proud, the master of the county was stunned."
"It doesn't make sense!" The queen mother was going to pat the table, and Hua Liuli quickly took her hand. "The queen mother, the table is so hard, don't clap your hands."
"Your child..." The queen mother was angry and laughing, "If anyone says this again in the future, don't be angry yourself, and directly order the next person to hit her mouth and mourn the family to support you."
"Mother Empress, Miss Lin is still kneeling outside to blame..."
"She is Master Lin's daughter. The quarrel between the little girls can't guilty to kneel and ask for guilt." The queen mother said faintly and turned her head to look at Princess Xian.
Seeing the inner dissatisfaction of the queen mother, the princess wanted to cry without tears.
This matter has nothing to do with her, and what Lin Yun said is not what she taught. But the Lin family and the Hua family have never had any grudges. Why did Lin Xu aim at Hua Liuli?
If she is a queen mother, she may also suspect that these words were secretly narrated by Lin Fu, her future mother-in-law.
This is really a snow drift in June, nowhere to complain.
The prince hurried to Shoukang Palace, and saw Lin Yun kneeling in front of the palace gate, sitting on the footsteps with a blank expression: "Go away."
Lin Yun shook his shoulders without raising his head.
