It has been a month since Lin Weixi came here. This month may be long or short, but it is enough for her to understand Lin Weixi's situation. Speaking of which, she still has some connections with the original owner. When she was still Gao Xi, when she was eleven years old, she came back from the princess's mansion and met a father and daughter at the gate of the British Princess. This kind of thing was beyond her reach. The driver was afraid that she would be angry, so he quickly scolded the father and daughter to go away. Gao Xi casually opened the curtain and saw a sloppy man standing in front of the concierge, with a face full of anger because he was humiliated by his servants. However, he looked back at his timid daughter, endured his anger, and begged his nostrils in a good voice. Chaotian's concierge gave him a chance. He was very strong and could be a nurse. If he couldn't do menial or physical work, he could do it.
The man was groveling in a low voice, and the thin little girl coughed from time to time, her little hands always tightly holding the hem of the man's clothes. Gao Xi's heart was suddenly touched. She had not been close to her father since she was a child. No matter what she did, the British prince would just say "Oh" in a serious way, and then turn around to tease the concubine with a smile on his face. Two siblings. The British prince complained that she was an ignorant wolf who was always close to her mother and the eldest princess Shoukang. But who would have known that the eldest daughter Gao Xi, who had high eyesight, also longed for her father's love.
Gao Xi lowered the curtain and gave a few instructions to his personal maid. The maid glanced at Gao Xi in surprise, but still jumped out of the car obediently and gave the father and daughter twenty taels of emergency money. Gao Xi guessed that this man was trying to raise medical expenses for his daughter, so he was so anxious that he even lowered his voice. A penny stumps a hero, and life is not easy for anyone. Twenty taels is nothing to Gao Xi. If he can help them, Gao Xi will have fulfilled his childhood longing for father's love.
Gao Xi didn't know what happened next. She didn't show up, didn't ask the father and daughter their names, and didn't tell them who she was. If this is Gao Ran, it must be revealed inadvertently, especially to let people know that it is Gao Ran who has helped and done good deeds, but Gao Xi will not do that. This is her way of doing things. What she wants to do is her own business. There is no need to use other people's hardships to achieve her own reputation.
It was just a chance encounter, and then she completely forgot about it. Later, the Bu Guifei rebellion broke out and everyone in the capital was in danger, so she was not in the mood to think about it. However, who would have known that the father and daughter she saved back then would actually have another destiny. The man's name was Lin Yong, and the little girl who saw the doctor was named Lin Weixi. Lin Yong used the twenty taels to cure his daughter's emergency, and finally saved her daughter's life. At that time, the King of Yan came to Beijing to help the king. Lin Yong was born with supernatural powers. He joined the King of Yan and then sent his daughter back to his hometown. He followed the King of Yan to obtain a dowry for his daughter.
Mu Zong died in the thirteenth year of Jianzhao. Before his death, he appointed King Yan as one of the three auxiliary ministers. King Yan could only stay in the capital and support his young eldest son as emperor. A year later, trouble arose in the border areas. King Yan took his troops out of the capital in February and went to the border to quell the chaos.
Suppressing the rebellion, supporting the new emperor, and going to the border to suppress the enemy all inevitably required a large number of manpower. Lin Yong took this opportunity to gain a foothold under King Yan, gradually made a name for himself, and was fortunate enough to attract the attention of King Yan. Notice. King Yan saw that Lin Yong was indeed a man of talent, so he ordered him to go with him on the expedition. This time the Duohuo Lati tribe in the northwest border took the opportunity to cause trouble. The terrain in that place was complex and the climate was bitter and cold. After some effort, King Yan gradually gained the upper hand.
During a small-scale siege, King Yan was ambushed, and Lin Yong died to save King Yan. Lin Yong was a tough man. Even though he was hit by three arrows in his back, he still tried his best to **** King Yan to break out. Unfortunately, Lin Yong was too injured and too weak to rush out. Duo Huolati failed to win with all his strength, so he became angry and took out his anger on Lin Yong, who had contributed the most, even if the person died. Two or three days later, Lin Yong's head was cut off and hung on the city gate to demonstrate to King Yan.
It took the King of Yan a year to almost annihilate the Duokhulati tribe. All the young men and male infants were killed, leaving only the elderly, women and children. The following year, King Yan supported a new regime, took over the women and property of the Duokhulati tribe, and formed a check and balance with the other two tribes in the north. After cleaning up the northwest, King Yan took Lin Yong's body and returned to the court.
The news of King Yan's great victory spread back to the capital, and the capital was full of joy. Following the instructions of Dabao and Mr. Zhang, the young emperor pretended to write a letter asking King Yan what reward he wanted. Prince Yan has become the prince of Wanhu, and Quan is also the regent. He has nothing in the world that he lacks. If it must be said that his princess has been dead for ten years, he may lack a new wife.
But the reward King Yan asked for was beyond everyone's expectations. He did not ask for wealth or an official position for his only son, but asked the emperor to make the martyr Lin Yong a marquis. He is just an honorary marquis. This is much easier than giving a reward to Prince Yan's palace, and doing so is also beneficial to the reputation of the court. Therefore, the first assistant Zhang did not hesitate to agree to King Yan's request. After much publicity, he was canonized as a national warrior. The deceased Lin Yong was named Zhongyong Hou.
Lin Yong's wife died of illness many years ago, and he has only one daughter. The title of Marquis Zhongyong has come to an end. All Lin Weixi can use is the reward and fame that his father paid for with his life.
In the second year of Yuanjia, the news of Lin Yong's tragic death was sent to the Lin family by someone sent by the King of Yan. It was not until October of the fourth year of Yuanjia that the imperial court canonized Lin Yong as the Marquis of Zhongyong. At this time, Lin Weixi had finished observing her father's filial piety for three years. She was already weak. Her mother died in childbirth when she was born. For many years, she and her father Dependent on each other, the original body was able to survive until now just waiting for King Yan to send people to send Lin Yong's bones back to his hometown.
Lin Wei Xi remembered that a month ago, the timid little girl who was her original self suddenly appeared in her dream with a smile and said that she was going to find her father. Presumably by that time, Lin Yong's remains had already set foot on the road. Zhou’s land.
From the original point of view, the reputation of the orphaned daughter of Marquis Zhongyong and the large amount of land conferred by the court were not as important as the bones of his father. Therefore, the original person waited until she found her father and left with peace of mind, and Gao Xi, who had a good relationship with the Lin family, was able to be reborn.
It is now the first month of the fifth year of Yuanjia. Gao Xi died of illness in December last year, and the original owner followed Lin Yong away. It has been a month now.
This is Lin Weixi's life experience. Gao Xi, or Lin Weixi, sighed for a while, then fetched water and stumbled to tidy up his appearance.
This was almost unimaginable in Lin Weixi's previous life. Even the second-class maids in the Duke's Mansion did not have to do rough work such as sweeping. Since Lin Weixi was born, even when he washed his hands, he spread his fingers and had the maids wipe them. Now she has to learn to wash her face, comb her hair, and even fetch water to wash her clothes.
In fact, Lin Yong has been canonized as the Marquis of Zhongyong by the court. Even if he does not dare to compare with the well-established aristocratic families in the capital, in a small countryside, it is enough for Lin Weixi to live without worries and food to eat. days. Lin Weixi now needs to do everything by himself, and actually it starts from the day when the reward is awarded.
The emperor in the capital ascended the throne at the age of eight, and is only twelve years old this year. How can a half-grown child be expected to govern the country? Nowadays, it is said that the young emperor is in power, but in fact, all the government orders of the country come from the hands of the chief assistant Zhang Xiaolian.
The class of chief assistant has nothing to do with Lin Weixi today. After Zhang Xiaolian operated in the capital and was satisfied with a reputation of loving and cherishing talents, he handed over the matter of golden books and iron bonds. To the people below. Although Marquis Zhongyong is a marquis and has the reputation of being a loyal martyr, he has no brothers, no sons, and no clan. He only has a lonely daughter behind him. In the future, he will not even be able to find anyone who is outstanding. It is conceivable that waiting for the imperial court's reward experience When the hands of the first layer of government officials were delivered to Lin Weixi, they had already been emptied to a large extent.
Lin Weixi was still angry when she thought of this. She arrived late and didn't know what was going on on the day the imperial envoy arrived. She only knew that after the imperial envoy read the imperial edict, Lin Weixi should be the one to receive it, but I don't know what happened later. The imperial edict was transferred to the county's parents' official. In his hands, even the rewards from the imperial court were carried to the government office. Lin Weixi was angry and anxious. It was obvious that he didn't give enough money for the day and someone had done something wrong. It's also the short-sightedness of Aunt Lin's family. Why do you need money? Just take the imperial edict and the gold book and iron certificate!
The majority of the rewards awarded by the imperial court were seized by county and village officials, while the remaining bits and pieces leaked by these so-called "parent officials" were controlled by Aunt Lin's family. In the end, what really fell into the hands of Lin Weixi, the only daughter, was only the title of "The Loyal Daughter".
To get back Lin Yong's things, Lin Weixi had to spend money to find a way. In the past, Lin Weixi could just say a word, but now that she is no longer the princess of the Yan Palace, she wants to get Lin Yong back. If you don't have something, you can only figure it out yourself.
Lin Weixi was thinking about getting back the imperial edict and the iron certificate. She was stumbling and twisting the towel in her hands, and finally managed to clean herself up enough to see others. Speaking of which, Lin Weixi's skin is really stunning. She had met so many officials, ladies, and aristocratic beauties in her previous life. In terms of facial features, none of them could compare to Lin Weixi. It is an extremely exquisite and extremely beautiful thing, and what's more, because it is too beautiful, it will make people feel contemptuous.
Lin Weixi just washed her face and wiped her arms, but she got most of the floor wet. Lin Weixi was shocked and quickly wanted to go out to find something to mop the floor.
She had just put her hand on the door when she suddenly heard voices outside.
Aunt Lin may have thought that Lin Weixi had not woken up yet, or even if she woke up, she was not afraid of her hearing that Aunt Lin had been living with the land all her life, but suddenly a group of official servants came, delivering imperial edicts and many rewards. Aunt Lin felt in her heart It would be weird to think about nothing.
"My brother's life was short. His wife was gone as soon as his daughter was born. He later died on the battlefield trying to save others. As a sister, I feel sorry for him! He sent his orphaned daughter to our home six years ago. We There are still many mouths to eat at home, but suddenly there is an extra medicine jar. It is such a big burden. Did I say anything?"
Lin Weixi's hand pushing the door suddenly stopped. She listened quietly to the undisguised conversations outside through a door.
"Sister-in-law Lin, I know you are kind-hearted and have raised a daughter for your brother for six years. But now that your brother has gained fame, Sister Xi is no longer a drag. She is now the daughter of the Marquis! It's a pity that she is not As a man, it will be a pity for your brother to have the title. However, the title cannot be retained, but money will never deceive people. Sister Xi has such a large dowry, and she will be very lucky to marry in the future."
Aunt Lin was not very happy after hearing this: "I am his only sister, and now he is gone. How can the money he earned pass over me and be left to Sister Xi? All his daughters are other people's. I am his biological sister. What’s more, Sister Xi cannot have a daughter in her family, and our Li Da is a boy!"
Li Da is Aunt Lin’s son. He is now nineteen years old and has not yet been married. He had been idle all day, and now he didn't know where he was.
Wang Po is a famous matchmaker from all over the country. She could only laugh after hearing this. Although she seemed kind on the surface, Grandma Wang couldn't help but murmur in her heart. She heard that family property was left to brothers and daughters, but she had never heard of a nephew coming over to inherit the title. What kind of logic is this?
But she came here to get married, so there was no need to get into trouble with Mrs. Lin. Po Wang continued to say with a smile: "Sister-in-law Lin is right, you are Sister Xi's aunt. Her parents are dead, and the marriage is a big deal. Of course you have to make the decision. Sister-in-law, the son of Yuan Liu’s wife’s family is a hot commodity. When Sister Xi gets married, she is destined to be a young mistress. She doesn’t have to work in the field or take care of the housework. She even has a little maid to take care of her! Sister-in-law , It’s not that I, the matchmaker, am looking for the master’s family, but that Liu Yuanwai’s family is really good. How many young girls from all over the country want to marry into their family. Now Liu Yuanwai is willing to let Sister Xi be the principal wife. This is a great thing! ”
Isn't it a great thing? Lin Weixi has a huge inheritance in his name, and he has no brothers or uncles to support him. Whoever marries her will get a sky-high dowry for free. What's more, Lin Yong's reputation as a loyal and brave prince can be used to gild his own children and grandchildren. In the future, they will become officials, do business, and gain fame, which will have many benefits.
Lin Weixi's fingers clenched tightly unconsciously. Before her father was filial, these people came to force her to get married.
Seeing that they could not rest all day long, the servants of the palace had already tensed up their nerves. The calamus, hanging screen and other items in the palace had been arranged yesterday. Early this morning, the carriage of the female family members stopped at the second gate. Nowadays, dignitaries in the capital often travel in sedan chairs, but King Yan has been in the army for many years and has already developed iron-clad rules of work and rest. How could he ride in a sedan chair? Not only Gu Huiyan himself, but even Gu Chengyao, who grew up in the capital, was not allowed to be arrogant. No matter how far he went, he would always ride a horse.
