Chapter 408 The Finale(1/2)
In September, King Pingnan wrote a letter, approving of Lin Jingyuan and Lu Congshan's marriage. The two families chose a good day to book a marriage.
In the same month, Lin Jingcheng got married, Lin Youyou got married, and the three families in the Lin family were in a happy mood.
In October, the Queen Mother passed her 71st birthday, and her health was much worse than last year.
One day in October, Xiao Qianxiao came back and told Lin Yanyan that your master wanted to marry you, Aunt Tao, and he was embarrassed to tell you, hoping that you could help ask Aunt Tao what she meant.
Lin Yanyan said: "I am his apprentice, what's the embarrassment that I'm embarrassed to say? Are you embarrassed to tell you?"
Xiao Qian smiled and said, "Isn't this convenient for men to talk to men? Why don't you tell me if you have any trouble? Your master said that if you have a child in the future, the first child's surname is Tao, which will continue the Tao family's incense."
Lin Yanyan was stunned for a moment and immediately said, "Okay, let me leave this matter."
It can be seen that the master and Aunt Tao have feelings for each other, and the master is willing to let the child’s surname be Tao, so the marriage will definitely be successful.
Lin Yanyan then invited Tao Huiru to the East Palace. As expected, Aunt Tao heard that the child's surname could be Tao, but after hesitating for a moment, she agreed.
The two of them didn't pay attention to those cumbersome etiquettes. After all, they were both old and chose a zodiac auspicious day to get the wedding done.
In November, Yang Jujun heard good news and became pregnant. Lu Zhaonan was so arrogant. He showed off when he saw Xiao Qian. Xiao Qian was so excited that he worked harder. Lin Yanyan couldn't resist it and warned Lu Zhaonan that he would dare to talk too much in front of Xiao Qian again, so he asked Xiao Qian to send him to another place to work. Lu Zhaonan then calmed down.
In the same month, Chu Zhilan gave birth to a little princess. Lao Jiu was so happy that he couldn't stop talking about it. He held it in his palm every day, finding new joy in life.
However, the royal family has never had a Long Sun, as if they were hit by a curse. Everyone can only hope for His Royal Highness. Perhaps only the true emperor can hope to break this curse.
Lin Yanyan's pressure doubled. Hu Guangzhi found a secret recipe for giving birth to a child from nowhere, but was thrown away by Xiao Qian. He didn't need any secret recipe. He and Yan Yan's children, both men and women, are gifts given by God.
In December, the second wife of the Lin family finally came out of filial piety. Lin Pengpeng began to take charge of the Tongyuan Building and launched a winter health banquet as soon as he took office, which was very popular.
Lin Zhongkun also planned to re-record the matter of re-reconcil, but Lin Shuqi had already secretly matched Wei Yuewan. The other party was compiled by the Hanlin Academy. His experience was similar to that of Wei Yuewan and he had a marriage agreement. However, his fiancée died of illness before leaving the door. The two of them fell in love with each other and fell in love with the old man. The Wei family naturally favored the young and promising Hanlin Academy. He quickly settled his life and got married directly.
Lin Zhongkun was so angry that he was muttering that he wanted to break off his brotherhood with Lin Shuqi.
Lin Shuqi ignored him, because this was a task assigned to him by the Crown Princess. Of course, Lin Shuqi was still very good at speaking and did not say that it was the instruction of the Crown Princess.
As the end of the year approached, Zhu Ziyu received wages and benefits from the shopkeeper. He went home happily, but saw a carriage parked at the door of his house, with a lantern hanging on the carriage, and the word "Lin" was written on it.
Is it from Lin's Mansion?
Zhu Pei saw the elder brother in the kitchen and ran over to pull the elder brother into the kitchen.
"Is the carriage at the door from Lin's mansion?" Zhu Ziyu asked.
Zhu Pei said: "It was the third wife of the Lin family who came. I heard from the tea that the third wife was here to tell you to Lin Zhenzhen."
Zhu Ziyu didn't come back to her senses for a while, Lin Zhenzhen? How can that be done? It was her mother who designed to take revenge on Lin Zhenzhen and asked her to marry her fifth brother, but he tacitly agreed.
Now I look back and let him and Lin Zhenzhen? Is it appropriate?
Seeing that Brother's face looked a little ugly, Zhu Pei also knew that Brother could not accept the matter, so she comforted him: "Brother, don't worry, your father and mother will definitely not agree."
After waiting for a while, the third wife of the Lin family left and Zhu Ziyu entered the house.
I saw a pile of gifts on the table, and my father and mother, grandfather and grandmother looked at him with complicated expressions.
Zhu Ziyu panicked: "Grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, Lin family..."
Grandfather said, "Guangqi, Qin, tell Ziyu."
As he said that, the old couple went back to the room with crutches. Zhu Guangqi pondered: "Ziyu, when it comes to Zhenzhen, it is our Zhu family that we are sorry for. Now our Zhu family is in a downturn. We are no longer a princes and relatives, but a guilty person. According to your current identity, let alone the official lady, even ordinary people may not be able to like our family."
Zhu Guangqiu told Qin to say a few words.
Qin said: "Ziyu, my mother was not thinking about it at the beginning. Yao didn't do it, but Zhenzhen was sincere to you. Look at the things on the table."
Zhu Zi Yuxin said, let’s see how expensive the Lin family has given me?
He was reluctant, but he still went to open the gift box.
When I saw it, I was shocked.
This is his words, his paintings...
Maple leaves in the West Mountain, map of jackdaw playing in the water... That's right, it's his.
Zhu Ziyu thought about it carefully and found that the calligraphy and paintings seemed to have been bought by the same person. The man came to visit his business for several days, and praised his calligraphy and paintings and couldn't put them down. He bought several pairs of them without bargaining.
He also felt that he was lucky and met someone who knew the goods.
That time was also the most difficult time for their family to fall into disarray.
"Mother, these..." Zhu Ziyu was in a mixed mood and had already guessed who the buyer was.
"These are all bought by Lin Zhenzhen. She knew that you were selling calligraphy and paintings on the street. She didn't dare to help you openly, for fear of hurting your self-esteem, so she asked someone to take care of your business. Later, her third aunt, Mrs. Zhou, found out, and detained her in the mansion and no longer allowed her to go out. Later, you found a job at the tea shop, which was enough to support your family and no longer had to sell calligraphy and paintings for a living. But in fact, the errands at the tea shop. Lin Yanyan did not expect... After our family was in a downturn, the only one who extended a helping hand to us was the Lin sisters." Qin sighed.
Zhu Ziyu suddenly felt a little ridiculous. It turned out that the so-called good luck was arranged by the Lin family. It turned out that he thought he had no relationship with the Lin family in this life, but it turned out that he had been receiving the favor of the Lin family.
Zhu Guangqi nodded: "Madam Zhou came here today to make the words clear. If you have Lin Zhenzhen in your heart, then come to ask for marriage. The Lin family doesn't care about the amount of betrothal gifts, they only care about your attitude and whether they are sincere. The Lin family only gives you three days. If you don't come to the house within three days, they will make other plans for Lin Zhenzhen."
After a pause, Zhu Guangqi said again: "Ziyu, your grandfather meant to make your own decisions. For your father, this marriage is the most appropriate thing. You are not young and it is time to get married, but do you really think you can live with those vulgar village girls for the rest of your life?"
"Yes, Ziyu, to be realistic, marrying Lin Zhenzhen is your only chance to change your life. You have to think about it." Qin Shi said.
Zhu Ziyu is no longer the proud and arrogant prince who was in the past. He has endured the tempering of hardships and has become calm. This matter is related to his life and even to the fate of the entire Zhu family. Naturally, he must be very cautious.
Zhou waited for three days, and as the third day was about to set, Zhou couldn't help but be anxious. Don't Zhu Ziyu want to marry Lin Zhenzhen? You don't want such a big guy to get a free bargain? When did Zhu Ziyu become so backbone?
At this time, the servant came to report that a man who claimed to be Zhu Ziyu asked to see his wife.
Zhou hurriedly asked someone to invite Zhu Ziyu in.
When Zhu Ziyu saw Zhou, he bowed deeply: "I'd like to forgive my wife. Ziyu is late. Ziyu is not taking Qiao, nor is hesitant. In the past three days, Ziyu has been making something."
As he said that, Zhu Ziyu took out a wooden carved hibiscus hairpin from her arms and presented it with her hands: "Ziyu is now poor and cannot come up with a decent betrothal gift, only this hairpin made by herself. She solemnly asked to marry Miss Lin Er. Although I can't guarantee how comfortable she can live, I will do my best to treat her well."
Lin Zhenzhen, who rushed over after hearing the news, stood at the door. When she heard these words, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
When the old lady and Lin Zhongkun learned about this, they strongly opposed it. Lin Zhongkun even scolded Zhou for being uneasy and kind, and the couple was a feather of one.
Zhou disagreed and said, "This is what the Crown Princess means. The Crown Princess said that as long as Zhenzhen is willing, no one can stop him. If you have any objections, let me tell the Crown Princess to go."
Lin Zhongkun didn’t have the courage. Now he is having a headache when talking about his niece.
So the two families set up their marriage before the lanterns were on the first lunar month.
But it was still one step late after all.
The emperor's illness became increasingly serious. He survived the twelfth lunar month and the fifteenth lunar month, but he could not survive any more.
That night, the emperor hung his breath and opened his eyes, but he didn't die.
Xiao Qian wiped away his tears and said to the emperor: "Father, Yan Yan is pregnant."
The emperor's eyes suddenly lit up, his eyes turned slightly, and he found Lin Yanyan who was standing not far away, stared at her belly, smiled, and closed his eyes.
The emperor passed away and the prince ascended the throne, and changed the yen name to Kaitai.
The Crown Princess Lin Yanyan was the queen and gave her a gold book to command the harem where she was the only one.
Due to the national mourning, no one dared to ask the emperor to accept a concubine.
On the eighth day of the eighth month, the queen was about to give birth.
Everyone is nervously waiting for the result. Whether the royal family can break the curse of having a daughter or not having a boy is today.
The most nervous one is Xiao Qian. He doesn't care whether a man or a woman is. What he is worried about is whether Yan Yan can give birth to the child safely and smoothly.
Two months ago, Yang Shengjun had difficulty giving birth. If Aunt Tao hadn't rushed there, he would have been afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable. Thinking of Lu Zhaonan's frightened look at the time, he would be very scared.
Yan Yan's belly is so big, and the fetus must be quite large. Will it be difficult to give birth?
"Your Majesty, can you sit down? You are so confused by your head when you keep turning around." Lu Zhaonan advised.
Xiao Qian glared at him. He was also spinning around the yard, but he was no less likely to turn than him.
"Jing Yuan, throw him out."
Lin Jingyuan responded and made a gesture to drag Lu Zhaonan out.
Lu Zhaonan quickly surrendered: "I won't say it anymore, can't I stop talking? I'm afraid that you are too anxious, Your Majesty, this is not that easy to have a baby, and it's common to have two or three days."
The Empress had only started for less than two hours, so it was early! Lu Zhaonan looked calm as if he had been through it.
Xiao Qian was already very impatient, but when he heard this, he could not bear it: "Lu Zhaonan, shut up."
If he had been born for two or three days, it would be difficult to give birth. If he hadn't been for the sake of his old friend, he would have broken up Lu Zhaonan's teeth and would have spoken?
Just then, a clear cry was heard, like a phoenix sound.
All three were stunned.
"Did you hear the baby crying just now?" Xiao Qian was not sure whether it was him who was hallucinating his hearing?
Lin Jingyuan and Lu Zhaonan nodded continuously: "I heard it."
"Is this... born?" Xiao Qian asked.
Two people: "It should...yes."
Eunuch Liu ran over with joy: "Report to Your Majesty, the Empress is born, it is the prince, the prince..."
"Is that good?" Xiao Qian asked hurriedly.
"Okay, mother and son are safe."
To be continued...
