Chapter 76
Lin Yunyi and Mrs. Lin attached great importance to Lin Yunwan's affairs, but within three days, they persuaded the respected elders of the Lin clan to come together.
Lin Yunyi said firmly: "If the Wuding Marquis Mansion insults my Lin family's daughter, my eldest sister will definitely make peace with the Lu family!"
Mrs. Lin cried silently, her eyes that could not see anything made people feel distressed.
The Lin family members quickly unified their approach and discussed for most of the day how to deal with it.
Lin Yunyi was careful and sent away the elders of the Lin clan, and sent someone to tell Mr. Li Qi: "If the Lin family has something to do these days, I will not accept Mr. Li to visit."
Mr. Li Qi had something to be busy with. The Lin family said they didn't want him to go there, so he stopped going.
Yun Yi also made a special trip to Prince Huan's Mansion.
He came to the door with 800 taels of silver, which was almost all the cash the family had.
It's a pity that Qi Lingheng is not in the house.
The steward in the palace said respectfully: "If you have anything to do, please just tell me. The prince has told me that if someone comes to your palace, please don't neglect me."
Lin Yunyi presented the silver with both hands and said: "Wan Sheng wants to ask for five hundred-year-old ginseng from my family. Here is eight hundred taels of silver. I know it is not enough, but I beg you to give it to me in advance. I will definitely pay back the remaining silver. Your Majesty."
"This is the written receipt. I have put my fingerprints on it."
The steward took a look and found that the amount of money owed was missing. The young master of the Lin family came here with sincerity.
He twirled his beard, feeling a little embarrassed.
Lin Yunyi was very anxious, but the Lin family's upbringing did not allow him to lose his composure, so he had to plead more earnestly.
The steward said awkwardly: "Master, it's not that I don't want to give it. You also know that century-old ginseng is not easy to get. Even in the most famous drugstores in the capital, it is not easy to find. And the ginseng in our palace is not easy to find." The ginseng came from the palace and was rewarded by the emperor and empress. There were only five ginseng in total, and all of them were given to me at once..."
No matter how much the prince gave him an explanation, he would not dare to make the decision without authorization.
The steward said: "Master, why don't you wait a moment, and I will send someone to ask the prince."
Lin Yunyi could only nod and say yes.
He was sitting upright in the hall, and the steward sent someone to the palace to deliver the message.
Qi Lingheng was discussing political affairs with his father and cabinet ministers in the palace. Normally, the officials would not dare to communicate small matters.
When the words reached Ah Fu's ears, he was smart enough to know that he had to spread the word, so he sneaked in quietly and winked at Qi Lingheng.
Qi Lingheng also gave him a look.
It's inconvenient for him to go out now. If anything happens, Ah Fu will make his own decision.
"How dare I make up my mind about this?"
Forget about ordinary expensive medicinal materials, he didn't dare to make the final decision if the emperor and empress rewarded them.
Ah Fu wrote a note and sent it in.
Qi Lingheng came out anyway and scolded Ah Fu in a nonchalant manner: "Can't you even handle this little thing?"
Ah Fu knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, that ginseng is from the Emperor and..."
Qi Lingheng glanced at Ah Fu lightly and said to him: "If you come to me again for this kind of thing, you can go home and retire."
Ah Fu trembled, he was only in his twenties, how could he live in old age?
"This slave knows."
Ma Liudi left the palace and told the people in the palace.
When the palace steward heard the reply, his eyes widened and he chased the young eunuch and asked, "Did the prince really say that?"
The little eunuch said: "How can I make this up on my own? That's what Grandpa Fu said."
The steward frowned, he really couldn't believe that the prince would speak like that.
Give whatever you want, what if the palace is emptied?
"Is this what the prince said? Ah Fu told you right..."
The steward was talking to himself.
Lin Yunyi was still waiting, but when he saw the steward, he stood up and bowed.
The steward said very politely: "Wait a moment, young master, we have sent someone to pack the ginseng."
Lin Yunyi was pleasantly surprised: "Your Majesty, did you agree?"
The steward nodded.
More than consent?
The boy wrapped the ginseng in five brocade boxes, packed them all and put them in a basket.
The steward handed it to Lin Yunyi and said, "Young Master, take it and use it. If it's not enough, come back."
It's just a good thing. Even if there are no more in the palace now, it won't be difficult for the prince to find a few more.
Lin Yunyi said no, "That's enough."
The steward personally sent Lin Yunyi away. Before leaving, he couldn't help but ask one more question: "I am anxious to get this ginseng. Is it Mrs. Lin who..."
Lin Yunyi said: "My mother is very good."
If there was too much, he refused to say anything and left in a carriage. He didn't ask the palace how much money he wanted to write on the hand-printed IOU.
Just because of the kindness of the palace, he would accept no matter how much he wrote.
After asking for ginseng, Lin Yunyi and the Lin clan went to the Wuding Marquis Mansion the next day and posted the message in advance.
As expected, the Wuding Hou Mansion opened the middle gate to welcome them and paid great attention to the Lin family.
"Madam, our wife and Master Yi are here!"
Pingye was so excited that her eyes filled with tears.
Lin Yunwan had already washed herself and was sitting in the yard, reading the poems her father had taught her.
Taoye came over and said, "Madam, Madam is coming over too."
Everyone who had to go was gone. Lin Yunwan stood up and said, "Let's go there too." She took the two maids with her.
Zhu Qing also followed, but she was not qualified to go to the hall to listen. She could only stay outside the hall and listen to what was going on in the hall.
She hid behind the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and said to Tong Liu, "At least I know whether it's a quarrel or a peace talk."
Tong Liu whispered: "Auntie, you must hide well. If the old lady and the prince see it, I'm afraid they will anger you."
"I know. Go and look out for me. Someone is coming and calling me."
As soon as Tongliu walked a little further, Wei came.
Before Mrs. Wei entered, she saw Lin Yunwan walking towards her. She walked over quickly, grabbed Lin Yunwan's hand and asked with concern: "Yunwan, I heard that you are sick. How are you now? Are you recovered? I don’t know how to ask the doctor to take a look.”
Lin Yunwan wanted to pull her hand back, but Wei Shi's grip was too tight, and she couldn't pull it away.
The housekeeper of the Wei family was tired and angry these days, and said to Lin Yunwan, "You don't know, those housekeepers, Jian Shu, are so tricky! If I hadn't slapped them several times, none of them would be honest and obedient."
Peach leaves support the forehead.
Those wives in charge are all respectable people, how can you slap them in the face at every turn?
Pingye didn't even know what to say, what time had it been, and my wife was still talking about this!
Mrs. Wei herself felt that it was not time to talk about concubine affairs, so she advised Lin Yunwan: "Why are you making such a fuss? It's just a concubine and a concubine. If one is killed and the other is sent away, the world will be peaceful."
"Madam, you think too simply."
Lin Yunwan exerted her strength and finally pulled her hand out.
Wei was confused, what was too simple?
Are you going to beat the bastard to death?
That's right, if both of them are dead, it will be clean.
It's just that there is no reason in the world to kill one's own bloodline.
Zhuqing listened from a distance and shook his head helplessly: "This lady..."
She really wanted to grab her wife's ears and tell her: "Ge Bao'er is so ambitious that he wishes he could take his aunt's position instead!"
It's just that I met a powerful lady and didn't succeed.
But it’s scary enough. What mistress wouldn’t be scared?
After staring for a long time, I finally saw that everyone was here.
Mrs. Lu looked very pale and ordered Yan's mother: "Close the hall door." The place was cleared and no one was allowed to eavesdrop.
Zhuqing knew how to hide, but she avoided Yan's mother's glance.
