After breakfast, Mrs. Sun told Ling Jingyan: "A-Shu and A-Xiao are new here and are not familiar with the environment. Today you will lead them around for a while."
Ling Jingyan responded with a smile.
Ling Jingshu was actually not interested in the Ling family's house. What she wanted to go to most was the Huichun Hall.
However, today is only the fifth day of the lunar month, and there are still some days before the fifteenth day. Even when I went to Huichun Hall, I couldn't see Dr. Wei. Moreover, the emperor's grandson has just returned to Beijing. If he wants to visit him and ask for his name, he will have to wait for a few days...
I have been waiting for so many days, so there is no rush, just be patient and wait!
Ling Jingyan didn't notice Ling Jingshu's absent-mindedness, and introduced the Ling family mansion with great interest: "... I heard from my mother that this house was originally the residence of a minister of the Ministry of Rites. Later, the minister of the Ministry of Rites retired. When I returned home, the house was empty. When my father first joined the Ministry of Industry, he happened to hear that this house was for sale, so he spent money to buy it... "
As for the money, of course it was sent by someone from Mrs. Ling who was far away in Dingzhou.
Just such a house cost a full thirty thousand taels of silver.
When Uncle Ling was imprisoned for his crimes, the house was sold at a low price of fifteen thousand taels in order to save Uncle Ling from the prison. A lot of the ancestral property of the Ling family's old house in Dingzhou was also sold off. The huge Ling family suddenly took on the desolation of a sunset.
It was only through the efforts of the Lu family that Uncle Ling was rescued. The Ling family also owes the Lu family this huge favor and kindness. Under such circumstances, what qualifications and confidence do you have to fall out with the Lu family? How could he offend the Lu family for her
Thinking of the past, Ling Jingshu twitched the corners of her lips sarcastically.
Ling Jingyan didn't notice it and pulled Ling Jingshu around the Ling family's house.
Finally, they stopped in the Ling family's garden.
Calling it a garden is actually a bit reluctant.
There is a small rockery with an exquisite pavilion next to it. Next to the pavilion is a small pond with some lotus flowers planted in it. It was just June and the flowering period had not yet arrived. There were a few lotus leaves floating sporadically on the pond.
There are many flowers, plants and trees planted in the garden, and a special area is set aside for planting many peonies.
At this time, the peony flowering period has not yet passed, and some flowers that bloomed slightly later are blooming vigorously. Looking from a distance, it is gorgeous and dazzling.
Ling Jingyan said proudly: "Ah Shu, although this peony garden is not big, there are dozens of varieties of peonies planted! I planted some of them myself, let me show them to you."
As he spoke, he pointed at each plant one by one.
Of course Ling Jingshu would not disappoint Ling Jingyan and praised Ling Jingyan deliberately.
Ling Jingyan was filled with pride.
Ling Xiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Cousin Yan, can you also plant peonies? It's a pity that I can't see, otherwise I can enjoy them."
Ling Jingyan was about to show off her beauty.
Ling Xiao politely asked again: "By the way, Ah Shu can also grow peonies. I wonder how the peonies grown by cousin Yan compare with Ah Shu?"
Ling Jingyan: "..."
No matter how thick-skinned Ling Jingyan was, she couldn't say "Of course the peonies I grew are better". It took her a long time to hold back a few words: "Between brothers."
Several maids lowered their heads in unison.
If the master caught them laughing, they would definitely get scolded.
Ling Jingshu kindly held back her laughter and came to Ling Jingyan's rescue: "These peonies planted by cousin Yan have huge flowers, complex and gorgeous colors, and a fragrant fragrance. They are all rare and top-quality. A Xiao, when your eye disease is cured, you can See it with your own eyes.”
Ling Xiao kept hearing the words "eye disease healed" recently, and he was full of longing for his future life. He nodded obediently when he heard this. He didn't say anything anymore.
Ling Jingyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly changed the subject: "After walking around for a long time, I'm a little tired. Let's go back and rest first!"
... ...
In the next few days, Ling Jingshu stayed at the Ling family.
Ling Ji was a student of the Imperial College, and he had taken a long leave in order to return to Dingzhou. After returning to the capital, he immediately returned to the Imperial College.
Uncle Ling is a doctor in the Ministry of Industry. His official position is not prominent, but his affairs are very busy. There are a lot of social activities on weekdays. I go out early and come back late every day. I haven't had dinner at home for several days in a row.
There are only a bunch of female relatives left in the Ling family, plus the blind Ling Xiao.
Originally there were only three people from the Sun family, the Jiang family and Ling Jingyan, so it was inevitably a bit deserted. However, after the addition of the Ling Jingshu siblings, it became more lively.
Ling Xiao is obedient and obedient, while Ling Jingshu is smart and knowledgeable. It was easy to win Mr. Sun's favor. He also speaks much more casually than before.
"Auntie, my cousin studies in the Imperial College on weekdays. How many days will it take for him to come back?" Ling Jingshu asked with a smile.
Sun smiled and said: "In the Imperial College, I have three days off for bathing every month, and I can go home every ten days."
Jiang was clever and quickly guessed what Ling Jingshu was thinking, and said with a smile: "You want to ask, when can I go to the Prince's Mansion to ask for a title? You don't have to worry about this, your cousin has always kept it in mind! I will definitely come back in the next two days..."
Before he finished speaking, a maid came to report: "The young master is back."
This is talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!
Everyone laughed.
When Mrs. Sun heard that Ling Ji was back, she felt happy and led everyone to greet him at the door.
Ling Ji strode over and said with a grin, "No wonder I'm so anxious to come back today. It must be that you all are thinking about me."
While speaking, he winked at Mr. Jiang.
Jiang felt a sweet feeling in her heart, and a slight blush appeared on her face.
Mrs. Sun was not that evil mother-in-law who couldn't bear to see the harmony and love between her son and daughter-in-law. She just pretended not to have seen this scene: "Stop standing outside and come in quickly to talk."
"Wait! I want to give Ah Shu something first." Ling Ji smiled at Ling Jingshu and took out a thin, glittering name card from the secret pocket in his sleeve.
Ling Jingshu's heartbeat quickened and her voice trembled: "Cousin, this is..."
"This is the name card of His Highness Taisun."
Ling Ji said with a smile: "I know you have been anxious about waiting these past few days, and you can't see me, so you can't rush me. So this afternoon I took leave specifically and went to the Prince's residence to ask for an audience with His Highness the Grandson. It's a coincidence, Taisun His Highness Sun entered the palace today and was not in the mansion. I originally thought it would be a waste of time, but unexpectedly, His Highness Taisun had already had someone prepare a name card. After I went there, someone gave me this name card. .”
Ling Jingshu took the thin name card with a touched face and said her thanks cautiously: "Thank you, cousin."
Ling Ji smiled nonchalantly and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? Hurry up and collect the name card! It's June 15th in a few days. Just take this name card to Huichun Hall." "
Ling Jingshu held the name card tightly in her hand.
With this famous post, you can see Dr. Wei as soon as possible!
