Chapter 223
"Yun Yi can't come?"
Qi Lingheng was a little surprised. Yun Yi had long said that he wanted to see his nephew. If he hadn't really been unable to leave, he wouldn't have stopped coming.
Lin Yunwan put down the letter from home and said, "He said in the letter that he plans to take the imperial examination next year. He wants to study peacefully and come back after passing the exam."
Qi Lingheng knew that she was disappointed, so he comforted her: "It's a good thing that he has great ambitions."
Lin Yunwan smiled faintly: "That's right. It's a long way from the capital. You can't delay his career just to see me."
The younger brother is the only legitimate son in the Lin family and shoulders the important responsibilities of the family.
She was already very tired from studying. She couldn't cause any more trouble to her brother.
Lin Yunwan wrote a letter home to Lin Yunyi, without mentioning her feelings of missing her, and just asked him and his mother to take care of themselves.
"I'll take it to Ah Fu."
Qi Lingheng took the initiative to send a letter home to Lin Yunwan.
Lin Yunwan had no suspicion and gave the family letter to Qi Lingheng.
Qi Lingheng met Ah Fu in the study and quietly told him: "Find out why Yun Yi suddenly stopped coming."
He felt something was fishy, but he didn't want Lin Yunwan to worry, so he didn't mention it in front of her.
Half a month later.
Lin Yunwan sang a few lyrics to Qi Zaijun, and he couldn't sit still.
"Mother, I want to play with a ball."
The child has just learned to speak some words, and starts to speak word by word.
When Lin Yunwan saw that time was enough, she asked the wet nurse to take the child out to play.
She heard that Qi Lingheng had returned and was in the study.
"Has the prince brought anyone back?"
She was afraid that Qi Lingheng was meeting guests, and it would not be a good idea to barge in by herself.
Cuiqin said: "No, only Ah Fu is with the prince."
Ah Fu is one of his own, so Lin Yunwan doesn't shy away from it.
She brought a cup of warm soup, and Cuiqin brought an umbrella. It started snowing as soon as she arrived at Qi Lingheng's study, and the umbrella was useless.
Before Lin Yunwan knocked on the door, she heard talking inside and stopped at the door.
"Yun Yi wants to kiss you?"
Qi Lingheng was still a little surprised. Thinking of his brother-in-law's age, he smiled again: "It's time to say kiss."
"Master Yi said that the marriage is uncertain, so he doesn't want to tell you and the princess in advance."
Ah Fu said with a smile: "In recent years, Master Yi has fallen in love with two girls."
Qi Lingheng asked: "You don't like any of them?"
Ah Fu replied: "It's good to marry two surnames. It's not like picking a cabbage. It can be done just by looking at it."
"Too."
Qi Lingheng thought it made sense. He said, "Yun Yi wants to study and get engaged at the same time. He must be too busy to do both. Wait for him to have good news before bringing him to Jiang Qian."
In short, it would be best if nothing happens to the Lin family.
Qi Lingheng said calmly: "Don't tell the princess yet."
"yes."
Lin Yunwan quietly left Qi Lingheng's study.
She happily waited until August, the days of the provincial examination, and went to Ci'en Temple to pray.
For the people of Jiang Qian, and for his younger brother.
After getting the results in the September Township Examination, Ah Fu even went to the capital for a personal trip.
Lin Yunwan looked forward to it.
Qi Lingheng patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Afu travels day and night, and he can't get there until sunset."
Lin Yunwan said: "I haven't seen Yun Yi and my mother for a long time."
Qi Lingheng hugged her tightly.
Qi Zaijun ran in. He was almost two years old. He inserted himself between the two of them, hugged Lin Yunwan's thigh and said, "Concubine, hold me."
Qi Lingheng picked up his son and said, "Mom is waiting for news about your uncle. Don't bother your mother."
"uncle?"
Qi Zaijun asked curiously: "What is an uncle?"
Qi Lingheng said that Zhao Jingyi was his uncle. Qi Zaijun liked Zhao Jingyi very much. He smiled and said to Lin Yunwan, "Uncle, I want an uncle." Knowing that his uncle was from his mother's side, he asked his mother for an uncle.
The couple laughed for a while and took turns holding Qi Zaijun to play.
As expected, Ah Fu arrived at the palace at sunset, but what he brought was not good news.
"Yun Yi hasn't passed the provincial examination?"
Lin Yunwan knew the result when she looked at Ah Fu's face.
Ah Fu nodded and said, "No."
Qi Lingheng comforted Lin Yunwan: "Yunyi is still so young, it's human nature not to have it."
Lin Yun smiled: "I understand."
She doesn't want her brother to rise to prominence all of a sudden. It's not a good thing if he goes too smoothly in studying and becoming an official.
"Can you pass the college examination?"
Lin Yunwan continued to ask.
Ah Fu's face looked a little strange, but he still said calmly: "No."
"Master Dan Yi passed the imperial examination!"
Ah Fu quickly made amends.
Lin Yunwan frowned slightly.
With her brother's ability in studying, it was normal for him to fail in the examination, but failing to pass the college examination... was a bit unreasonable.
I wonder if what happened to her affected my brother.
Qi Lingheng was quiet for a while, then Lin Yunwan asked Ah Fu: "How is Yun Yi's marriage going?"
Ah Fu was stunned for a moment.
Qi Lingheng also looked at Lin Yunwan.
He didn't expect her to know about it.
Lin Yunwan said calmly: "Afu, just say whatever you want."
Ah Fucai lowered his head and said, "There is no news about Master Yun Yi's marriage..."
Lin Yunwan said nothing.
Qi Lingheng told Ah Fu: "Go down."
"yes."
Qi Zaijun sat on the couch and solved the five-link puzzle. He was very smart and concentrated on trying a few times to solve a five-link puzzle.
He clapped his hands happily and held up the five-link ring to show Lin Yunwan.
Lin Yunwan smiled, touched Qi Zaijun's head, and waited until her son was sleepy at night before giving him to the wet nurse to take him to sleep.
She sat on the couch and thought.
"Yun Wan."
Qi Lingheng walked to her side.
Lin Yunwan leaned in his arms, closed her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, Yun Yi is a person who reports good things but not bad things. I can no longer believe a word of his words."
"You want to go back to Beijing?"
Qi Lingheng gently touched her cheek.
Lin Yunwan shook her head sensibly: "There's no rush. I haven't found the person I'm looking for yet. Please help me find out first why Yun Yi didn't pass the government examination."
"You have to be fully prepared before going back."
Qi Lingheng: "Okay."
Half a month later, Lin Yunwan received a letter from Lin Yunyi.
At the same time, the people Qi Lingheng sent out also came back.
Lin Yunwan read the letter from home and smiled lightly: "Look, Yun Yi said everything was fine. He always said there was nothing wrong at home, but in fact, what did the people you sent say?"
Her smile is getting weaker and weaker, but her anger is getting heavier and heavier! My hands are shaking a little.
She thought that since she "died", her debt to the Wuding Hou Mansion would be gone. She even wanted to let them go, but the Lu family was still struggling!
Qi Lingheng shook Lin Yunwan's cold hand and said, "Yun Wan, don't be afraid..."
"Afraid?"
Lin Yunwan smiled slightly: "With the prince here, they should be the ones who are afraid."
How could she be afraid of them!
Qi Lingheng held her hand tightly.
Lin Yunwan sighed and said, "Let Yun Yi concentrate on studying first."
Once she leaves, my brother will be distracted again.
Returning to the capital does not mean that you can just go back. The emperor must issue an order before the vassal king and his family can leave the fiefdom.
When Qi Zaijun was almost five years old, it was also the year of the imperial examination.
An imperial edict came from the capital, calling King Huan and Princess Huan back to the capital.
"The prince and princess have left, and I don't know when they will come back..."
In recent years, under the rule of King Huan, the government has been harmonious and harmonious.
Princess Huan was also well-known for being virtuous and benevolent. Although she participated in politics, she did not mess with politics or be greedy for power. In the hearts of the people of Jiang Qian, her status was very high.
The people of Jiang Qian were very reluctant to give up.
Lin Yunwan was troubled by the etiquette of Qi Zaijun entering the palace.
"Concubine, can't I hold the imperial grandfather and the imperial grandmother close to each other?"
He grew up in Jiang Qian, so he didn't know that the palace rules were strict and his temper was too lively.
Based on Lin Yunwan's understanding of her son, the closeness he spoke of was probably not the closeness that ordinary people understood.
Lin Yunwan said seriously: "No."
Qi Zaijun blinked, feeling very sorry.
"What about uncle and uncle?"
Qi Zaijun was very excited.
Lin Yunwan sighed: "You can figure it out yourself! If your uncle beats you, I won't care."
I don't know why this child was born so lively. He has been beaten and scolded, and taught the rules a hundred times. He will not listen to what he doesn't want to hear no matter how much anyone teaches him.
Qi Lingheng heard the conversation between their mother and son and said, "Your imperial grandfather and imperial grandmother are reluctant to beat you."
Lin Yunwan glanced at him: "My lord, you are still here stirring up trouble."
"My son and I are telling the truth."
Qi Lingheng picked up Qi Zaijun and whispered in his ear.
Qi Zaijun smiled when he heard this.
Lin Yunwan didn't know what their father and son were talking about, and there were still many things waiting for her to deal with.
And she was about to see her brother and mother, and she would not let her brother make the same mistake again!
