Chapter 64
After leaving the palace, Qi Lingheng left on horseback instead of riding in the carriage.
Ah Fu chased after him and asked, "Your Majesty, where are you going?"
Qi Lingheng said: "Mr. Jieli, go to Lin Mansion."
Of course Ah Fu wanted to follow. He got into the carriage and said to the driver, "Let's go."
The coachman also heard Qi Lingheng's words and drove the carriage together.
Taifu.
Lin Yunwan came back suddenly. Lin Yunyi rushed over when they reached the backyard.
"Sister, why did you come back today?"
The letter said that he would come back when he was free, but he didn't expect that it would be today.
"Where's mother?"
Lin Yunwan couldn't wait to see her mother.
Lin Yunyi took her hand and rushed to Mrs. Lin's yard, as cheerful as a bird: "Mom is applying medicine, sister, mother said she can already see the light!"
When Lin Yunwan rushed in, the maid was applying medicine to her mother's eyes.
"Is Yun Wan back?"
Mrs. Lin wanted to get up from the bed.
Lin Yunwan pressed her down and said, "Lie down."
Mrs. Lin grabbed her hand and said with a smile: "Doctor Li is coming over to give me acupuncture. It seems to be working. I can really see." Although it was only a weak light, I could see nothing better than in the past few years. It was much better when I arrived!
Lin Yunwan cried with joy.
But she didn't dare cry for fear of making her mother sad.
Lin Yunyi patted Lin Yunwan's shoulder and whispered: "Sister, it's okay. Mother will be fine."
Lin Yunwan nodded.
Mrs. Lin heard the two siblings whispering and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about? Why don't you let me hear you?"
Lin Yunwan smiled and said: "I'm talking about bringing a long bow to see you next time."
Mrs. Lin quickly asked: "Why don't you bring him here? I would like to see him."
"He is about to prepare to study in the Lu family. He is very busy. He will have to wait until the next holiday before he can come to see you."
Mrs. Lin nodded and said, "It's important for me to study. I just said it casually. It doesn't matter if he doesn't come."
Lin Yunwan was concerned about her mother's condition and carefully asked what Master Li Qi had told her.
After listening for a long time, she said: "Master Li Qi is really powerful."
According to him, before this year, his mother could see human figures!
Mrs. Lin was afraid of dragging down her children, so she felt a little guilty and said, "It's just hard for you two."
Lin Yunyi still worried more about family matters. Lin Yunwan was a married woman after all.
Lin Yunyi came over and said easily: "Mother, what's so difficult about this? It's only because of your fault that it's difficult for your son."
Lin Yunwan felt more and more guilty: "I have nothing to be embarrassed about. Mother, I can't do as much as Brother Yi."
"Both of you, brother and sister, stop saying that."
Lin Yunwan looked at the prescription and quickly made a plan in her mind.
She discussed with her mother: "There are some precious medicinal materials that are difficult to buy even if you have money. Mother, as I mentioned to you before, I want to redeem the shop in Zhongzhou. I have brought the deed. Please let the steward of the house run for me."
"Yun Wan, it's better to say goodbye."
Mrs. Lin was hesitant. She wanted to cure her eyes, but she didn't want her daughter to spend her dowry.
Lin Yunwan said: "It's not all used to buy medicine for you. Didn't I say that I would also open a spice shop?" She tucked her mother's quilt and lied: "I actually discussed it with Madam Guo , she also made some preparations for me, if I change my mind now, I will be breaking my promise."
"Oh well."
Mrs. Lin said helplessly.
Lin Yunwan and Lin Yunyi went out together to explain the affairs of the Lin family.
She still trusted her family, and she didn't want the Lu family to know the amount of money in the dowry.
"Old steward, the store needs to pay it out quickly. Mother is in a hurry to take medicine, so it doesn't matter if the price is lower."
The steward took the deed with both hands and said, "Don't worry, aunt, I'll save you the trouble."
Lin Yunwan also reminded him: "Shopkeeper Luo, who manages the shop, mentioned to me before that he had a relative who wanted to take over my shop. But it was a few years ago. I didn't want to sell my dowry at the time, so I didn't agree. he."
"If his relatives still have this intention when going to Zhongzhou this time, you might as well ask him first."
"After all, they are old acquaintances. It will be less troublesome to sell them off."
The steward nodded and said, "Young lady, I've taken everything to heart. If my aunt doesn't have any other instructions, I'll pack my things right now and leave early and come back early."
"Go ahead."
Lin Yunyi also told him: "Be careful on the road, safety is the most important thing."
The steward smiled and went quickly.
The two siblings were strolling in the courtyard, and Lin Yunwan asked, "Why didn't you tell me that it was Mr. Li Qi who was invited by King Huan?"
Lin Yunyi looked sad and said like a young adult: "Sister, your father's illness has hindered your marriage, so of course your mother's eyes have to rely on me. I have grown up now, unlike when you first got married. That’s a little too small.”
Lin Yun smiled wanly: "You and your sister still see each other like this?"
Lin Yunyi, who had always been lively, stopped talking. It was not that he was dissatisfied, he just couldn't bear to see his sister suffer any further injustice.
Lin Yunwan wanted to ask him about what happened in the academy.
Lin Yunyi spoke first: "Sister, don't worry about mother's medication. The shop in your dowry was left to you by your father and mother. If you really want to start a spice business in the capital, just do it. I have my own way to cure my mother's eye disease."
Those medicines were expensive, so Lin Yunwan asked him, "What are your ideas? Let me hear it first. I will only give it to you if I feel relieved."
Lin Yunyi refused to say, only saying that he had a way.
Lin Yunwan asked him about the situation at home. She didn't know how much money there was in the Lin family's account now.
Lin Yunyi knew the family's accounts very well and explained them to Lin Yunwan in detail.
"The people in the clan have done their best, so I won't ask any questions, lest the uncles in the clan think I'm nosy. However, the Lin family has to come forward to reward King Huan, Mrs. Xia, and Mr. Li Qi."
"Mrs. Xia, you don't need to worry about it. The Xia family will have a housewarming reception soon. I will bring a gift for the Lin family. You can go to Prince Huan and Master Li Qi yourself."
"Sister, I know everything. Mother has already explained it."
Lin Yunwan was very pleased. Fortunately, she still had a younger brother at home. Otherwise, once her father passed away and her mother's eyes looked like that, who would support the family?
Lin Yunyi left her to have dinner: "Sister, please eat before leaving."
Lin Yunwan shook her head: "It's getting late. I'll see my mother another day." The main reason I came here today was to buy medicine for my mother from the store.
Lin Yunyi thought about the difficulty of having a sister, so he didn't keep her. He just said to her: "If you want to come back, just write to me. I can take leave at any time."
Although Lin Yunwan said it was okay, she was still worried that it would delay his studies.
Just as Lin Yunwan left, King Huan arrived. He picked up Master Li Qi and came over to perform acupuncture on Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin knew that there was a guest at home, and it was the same person who brought the doctor here last time.
With slender needles inserted into the acupuncture points around her eyes, she took Lin Yunyi's hand and asked: "Brother Yi, he is not your brother-in-law, is he?"
"Well, mother, she is father's student."
Mrs. Lin twitched her lips and said calmly: "I knew it."
She smiled again and asked, "Which student of your father is he?"
"Your father has taught too many students, from several private schools to the Imperial College. I remember some and some I can't remember. Where is he a student?"
"Mother, this is Prince Huan. My father taught him when he was a tutor in the palace. At that time, the prince was still a young prince. Do you remember?"
Mrs. Lin was a little surprised.
She smiled and said: "King Huan, of course I remember. Your father used to be very proud of him."
