Chapter 321 - , a good wife
In eldest Princess Jing Hua’s residence.
Jing Hua saw Lin Mo, who had not come for three days, and went up to him. She went into his arms and said, “Has the palace been so busy recently?”
Lin Mo said, “It’s not easy to finalize the new law, so I’ve been a little busy. I heard that you went to my house a few days ago?”
Jing hua nodded and said, “Old Madam Yue asked me to propose marriage to Qin Miaomiao. If Qin Miaomiao can be together with Yue Zhan, you can rest assured. Yue Zhan, this person……”
Upon hearing Yue Zhan, Lin Mo’s face darkened. “You still have dealings with the Yue Family?”
Jing hua said, “Old Madam Yue is an elder after all. How can I turn a blind eye when she comes to visit? I think we can consider setting Qin Miaomiao up with Yue Zhan. The Yue family is a military family, and Yue Zhan has outstanding military achievements……”
When they arrived in Longxi, Qin Miaomiao was the first honorable madam in Longxi. No one under her would dare to bully her and humiliate her.”
Lin Mo said, “You can decide on this matter.”
Outside the Grand Princess’residence.
Yue Zhan looked at the brightly lit main hall inside and could not help but think of the Jing Hua that he had seen when he was young…… it was unforgettable at a glance.
Just as he was about to turn around, he saw Qin Miaomiao coming over in a palanquin. The servant girl behind her was holding a scarlet right-hand-shaped official robe embroidered with a white crane in her hands.
Yue Zhan looked through the light of the lantern and saw that there was a large word ‘virtuous’written on Qin Miaomiao’s face.
“You’re really virtuous!”
Qin Miao Miao bowed and said, “General Yue, aren’t you also quite free? That day in King Rong’s residence, Princess Fu an fainted and I bumped into general Yue. I hope General Yue will not blame me for the Emergency!”
Yue Zhan saw her young age and calm expression, so he went forward and said, “Now, because of that sentence of yours, Fu an fainted because of me and my marriage was blocked. Now, you just said don’t blame me and you want me to forgive you?”
“Then what do you need me to do for general Yue to understand?”Qin Miaomiao asked.
Yue Zhan said, “Be a good Mrs. Lin, don’t think too much, and don’t be disrespectful to Jing Hua!”
“The Princess is His Majesty’s elder sister. Even if I had ten guts, I wouldn’t dare to be disrespectful to the princess.”
Yue Zhan said, “Then don’t waste your effort on this face, and don’t come to the entrance of the Grand Princess’residence to obstruct Jing Hua’s eyes.”
The reason why Qin Miao Miao came to the entrance of the Grand Princess’residence was to seek a good reputation so that those people who were laughing at her would not be able to laugh.
Also, it was to make Madam Lin feel a little guilty towards her. Madam Lin felt guilty and would talk less about matters like children.
Qin Miao Miao looked carefully at Yue Zhan through the light of the lantern. Yue Zhan had a burly figure but his face was also handsome. He was not much worse off than Lin Mo. .
“Since you are so infatuated with the eldest princess, why did you agree to divorce her that day?”Qin Miaomiao asked, puzzled.
Even if the prince consort could not be a powerful official and could not have military power, Yue Zhan did marry Jing Hua that day. As long as they did not divorce, no matter what those old officials said, it would be useless.
Moreover, the imperial family would not do such a thing.
Yue Zhan looked inside and said, “She doesn’t like Longxi. Even if you force her to stay, you won’t be able to keep her heart……”
Qin Miaomiao pondered over Yue Zhan’s words, then took her leave and went back to the Lin family……
While the people were discussing among themselves, the new law was also announced.
First, the idea of the imperial examination system was abolished. Since the founding of the Tang Empire, the imperial examination system had gradually reduced the number of the imperial examination system, but it was not completely non-existent.
The cheap son in the story of shipbuilding was held to be held to be a filial piety because of a huge funeral. It was extremely ironic.
The second reason was to make a clear distinction between the support of parents and children. The third reason was that it was a felony for parents to kill their children. In the past, it was not a felony for parents to kill their children because of filial piety.
After the promulgation of the new laws of the Tang Empire, the public did not have much of a response. After all, it was the result of the discussions of all the officials. There was also a new commercial law that was released, which eliminated many exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. The people cheered in succession.
In the blink of an eye, it was the 12th month.
It was the 12th month in Chang ‘an, and snow was flying everywhere. Qiao Jinniang received a letter from glutinous rice.
In glutinous Rice’s letter, it was written that once Zhou Shihui arrived in Jiangnan, he had looked for Qiao Jinniang’s schoolmates and invited them to play in the Qian Estate, the daughter of the Yang family, who had come thousands of miles to scheme against Qiao Jinniang, had also been bewitched by Zhou Shihui.
The imperial edict had demoted the Yang family’s daughter to a county official. The daughter of the Yang family had been sentenced to Lingnan punishment for scheming against the empress.
Glutinous rice had even written that her mother’s spirits were gradually improving and that she could already recognize her as a daughter.
She had also written that Qiao Ruoyun and Qian Yin were in love. However, Qiao Ruoyun often went to the temple to pray to Buddha to protect her pregnancy.
Jiangnan’s Hundred Savory restaurant had reopened. Compared to going to the Qian family to be the eldest daughter, glutinous rice preferred to stay in the Hundred Savory restaurant.
As usual, she chatted and laughed with the neighbors who came to the restaurant. The neighbors also thought of the Jinniang and Lu Chen.
It was also written that Hui Lindi and Empress Zhou had bought a house next to the Hundred Savory Restaurant……
They traveled around the mountains and rivers every day and were also frequent customers of the Hundred Savory restaurant. However, Hui Lindi said that glutinous Rice’s preserved chicken and duck were not as delicious as Qiao Jinniang’s……
Lu Chen saw a thick stack of letters and said, “It’s hard for glutinous rice to write so many letters to you.”
Qiao jinniang said, “The thicker the letters, the happier I am. This means that she is living a good life in Jiangnan. I really envy father and mother. Just like that, they can go to Jiangnan and play every day……”
Lu Chen looked at glutinous Rice’s letters and said, “You must not make preserved chicken and duck for them.”
Qiao Jinniang laughed. “Father gave you all of his land, but you’re so stingy that you don’t even want to give them chicken and duck?”
Lu Chen looked at glutinous Rice’s description of his parents’carefree life in Jiangnan and said, “That should have been our life.”
Lu Chen had never thought that he would ascend the throne so early. If he was still the crown prince, he could have brought Qiao Jinniang to visit a few more places.
As he thought about this, Lu Chen looked at Lu Xi who was carefully copying. Why was he only five years old……
Little Lu Xi sneezed.
Qiao Jinniang said nervously, “It’s cold outside now. You have to wear more clothes on the way to Mr. Ji’s residence. It’s very easy to catch a cold when it’s hot and cold. I’ve ordered the Minister of the palace to make a few cloaks for you. You must wear them when you go out.”
Little Lu Xi touched her nose and said, “Yes, Mother.”
Qiao Jinniang stroked the envelope in her hand and looked at the interesting stories written by the glutinous rice and the neighbors. She leaned against Lu Chen’s arms and said,
“I think I can’t go back to the normal days in the past. I used to hate the rainy days in Jiangnan, but after being away from Jiangnan for several years, I remember the misty rain in Jiangnan again.”
Lu Chen said, “When Ang ‘er is older, we should go to Lin ‘an in the spring.”
Qiao Jinniang looked southeast. She did not dare to Hope. With their current status, how could they go to Lin ‘an just because they said so?
They would have to spend money and labor on the way……
There were many banquets at the end of December. Because the new emperor had ascended to the throne, many officials had to go back to Chang ‘an to report on their duties. Last year, all the nobles in Chang ‘an were in Luoyang, so this year’s Chang ‘an was especially lively.
As the second minister of the Lin Residence, there was naturally an endless stream of foreign officials who came to visit. The Lin residence was crowded with people.
Qin Miaomiao was busy socializing with the family members of the officials. Occasionally, he would accompany Fu Lu, who was pregnant, to stroll around the Chang ‘an market. He had plenty of time.
However, the imperial edict at the end of the year that made the prince consort of Qin the Duke of Qin made Qin Miaomiao feel a little flustered.
