After Lin Qing and Wang Yan got up, the maid came in with washing water, Lin Qing and Wang Yan washed up, and then went to see the two children.
When we arrived at the children's room, the two children were indeed sleeping. Wang Yan wanted to call, but Lin Qing hurriedly stopped her and said in a low voice, "The weather is cold these days, let them sleep a little longer, and let them get up again when the sun comes out and the cold is gone."
"But are they not allowed to go out to pay New Year's greetings?" Wang Yan asked.
"I don't work in the Imperial Academy anymore, and there is no one left in the capital of the group of concubines who belonged to me. It is impossible for the Shen family and Shen Feng to come back. His wife and children are still in Yizhou, so today we should No one came, and there was no need to ask the two children to go out in the cold." Lin Qing said.
In fact, if you want to celebrate the New Year, there are some fellow students in the capital who can celebrate the New Year in the same year, but Lin Qing thinks that in a few years, he will follow King Tan to become a vassal.
After hearing this, Wang Yan stopped calling the children, and went back to the main room with Lin Qing, and then asked the maid to bring cooked dumplings and glutinous rice balls to eat with Lin Qing.
Lin Qing ate a plate, and said to Wang Yan: "I will go to Shen's mansion later to pay New Year's greetings. You are healthy, so don't go out."
Wang Yan's life is light now, and she really doesn't dare to go out, for fear of accidentally colliding with her, she nodded and said, "Then help me to confess to Mrs. Shen."
"I know" Lin Qing instructed Wang Yan a few more words, then changed her clothes and went out in fox fur.
Lin Qing went to Shen Ru's house in a carriage, intending to pay New Year's greetings to Shen Ru, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at the alley of Shen's residence, the road was blocked by dense carriages.
Lin Qing looked at it, twitched the corner of his mouth, told the coachman to turn directly to the back alley, and then knocked on a small door.
"Who is it?" The door creaked open, and a servant leaned out from the inside. When he saw Lin Qing, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Lin, you are here."
This small door is the corner door of Ting Yuxuan.
Lin Qing nodded and said, "The road ahead is blocked, so we can only go from here."
The young man knew that this young master was a student of his master, and he was no worse than the eldest young master, so he hurriedly said, "Mr. Lin, come in quickly, it's cold outside, the place in front was blocked at midnight this morning."
Lin Qing followed the boy in, asked the coachman to leave the carriage, went into the ear room to warm up, and then walked in.
The boy hurriedly followed and asked someone to notify his master.
As soon as Lin Qing came out to listen to Yuxuan, Shen Shuang hurried over, saluted Lin Qing, and said, "Mr. Lin, have a happy New Year."
Lin Qing gave him a purse and said, "I can talk."
Shen Shuang accepted it with a smile, and then said: "The master is meeting guests in the flower hall, let the younger one take the young master to the study room to wait."
Lin Qing nodded and said, "I have nothing to do, so I'm here to pay New Year's greetings, and let my teacher not be in a hurry."
Then Lin Qing followed Shen Shuang to the study. Shen Shuang added a charcoal basin to the study, served Lin Qing some refreshments, and then said: "The little one is busy in the front yard first. If you want to do anything, just call me." The boy outside the study."
Lin Qing knew that the Shen residence must be very busy today, so she waved her hand and said, "Go and get busy!"
Only then did Shen Shuang salute and retreat.
Lin Qing casually took a book on Shen Ru's desk, sat on a chair beside her and read it for about an hour before Shen Ru hurried over.
Seeing Shen Ru entering the room, Lin Qing hurriedly handed over a cup of hot tea, and said, "Why are you in such a hurry, I have nothing to do, but come to wish you a new year."
Shen Ru sat down, took the tea, drank it all, then looked at Lin Qing and said with a smile: "If I don't rush here, how can I show that I have important people to see, and how can I not go out of my way?" Get away from those few people!"
"You are using me as a cover for your feelings," Lin Qing said with a smile: "By the way, the ones who can make you find an excuse to escape, I'm afraid it's not those people in the Ministry of Rites. That's it."
Shen Ru nodded and said, "It's those ministers."
"Those ministers came to give you New Year's greetings? Aren't they all more powerful than you? I'm afraid the weasel has no good intentions to give the chicken New Year's greetings!" Lin Qing said.
"It doesn't count if you have no good intentions, but it's true to be annoying. In the past, everyone gathered at Mr. Zhang's house, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but now Mr. Zhang's place is in chaos. Everyone was afraid that they would accidentally get involved, so they decided to meet with Mr. Zhang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry." , that old cunning Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry just slipped away, so it will be my fault." Shen Ru said helplessly.
"Master Hong, who celebrates Chinese New Year, can slip away?" Lin Qing asked in surprise.
"His hometown is Yangzhou, and he can get there in one day by boat. He returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors under the pretense of a good name." Shen Ru said.
Well, thisIt is the advantage of being close to home! Lin Qing said heartily.
"Does that affect you?" Lin Qing asked.
Shen Ru shook her head and said: "Everyone of us knows who is who. It's nothing. The only impact is that my door is directly blocked today. When the four ministers came, the people below them didn't know what was going on. , I thought I was going to be promoted, but they all blocked my door early in the morning!"
Lin Qing laughed loudly after hearing this, and said: "I said that when I paid you New Year's greetings a few years ago, I didn't see many people. Why are there so many people suddenly this year?"
"Every time you get up so late, the people from the Ministry of Rites have already left when you come to pay New Year's greetings. Of course, you can't meet anyone. It's not that there are too many people." Shen Ru said with a smile.
"Why are you paying New Year's greetings in the dark so early, and it's not a gift, for fear that people will see it?" Lin Qing muttered softly.
"How do you know that people won't give gifts easily." Shen Feng smiled and shook his head.
Lin Qing heheed a few times, he was really naive.
Shen Ru looked at Lin Qing who seemed quite happy, and asked, "What good thing happened to you? Your face is full of red."
"Is it so obvious?" Lin Qing asked with a smile.
"Yes," Shen Ru nodded.
"My wife may be pregnant again," Lin Qing said directly.
"Congratulations!" Shen Ru was overjoyed when she heard that, and said, "I know there will be joy during the Chinese New Year. This is double happiness!"
Lin Qing hurriedly nodded vigorously and said: "No, I saw it last night, but because of the Chinese New Year, I didn't invite a doctor. I plan to wait two days for a doctor to make a diagnosis."
"Your wife has already given birth to two, so I think you can't feel wrong. It seems that in July and August, you will be able to have another child." Shen Ru said.
"It may also be a daughter." Lin Qing said with a smile.
"My daughter and son are good, and the children will have more helpers in the future." Shen Ru said.
Lin Qing nodded, and said: "Well, that is, one more child, plus the sixth prince, can make up four. After that, when the children play leaf cards, they don't have to worry about missing one out of three!"
Shen Ru:
Is this the reason why you want to have another one, just to make Sixi balls? (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
