Chapter 229 Looking for Him in the Crowd
After passing Shanhaiguan and entering the interior of the pass, Lin Chen could directly feel the difference between the interior and the exterior of the pass.
Just talking about the climate.
When he arrived at the border of the interior of the pass, Lin Chen realized that the New Year was approaching.
The Liaodong war did not last too long, only half a month.
Lin Chen returned to Beijing to report on his work this time, and he also planned to take a good rest.
At least he could spend the New Year in peace.
This was his first time celebrating the New Year since he came to this world.
No matter when, the New Year is an extremely important festival for the people of this land.
"But the situation in the court has changed a lot." Lin Chen pondered.
The reason.
It was the death of Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi's surrender to the old slave.
This made the party members gathered under Zhao Kuangyin dumbfounded.
In addition, Li Zhao suppressed and dismissed some of Zhao Kuangyin's party members, which made the people in the court panic for a while.
Many Zhao party members surrendered to other parties, or became victims of the struggle between the court and the opposition.
Different from the Zhao party, there is the Heshen faction.
Without Zhao Kuangyin, Heshen's followers can be said to have a much better life.
However.
Heshen knows his own affairs.
Recently, the emperor's attitude towards him has become increasingly cold.
When he loses his usefulness, he will be swallowed up by people who come after hearing the news, just like Zhao Kuangyin.
Party struggles are sometimes so cruel.
"Send a letter to Lin Chenjia's mansion, saying that I, Heshen, want to see him!"
Heshen thought of something and ordered his trusted housekeeper.
The message from the housekeeper of the Hefu naturally reached Wang Yuyan's hands.
As the first to enter the family, she became the nominal eldest wife.
"What does Heshen want to do with my husband?"
Although Qin Keqing has lived in seclusion for a long time, she also knows the name of this Heshen.
"It has nothing to do with us. When my husband comes back, just give him this letter."
"Sister is right." Xue Baoqin smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth.
They are all women of the Lin family, and they are all easy to get along with, so naturally they have a good relationship.
"I heard that my husband is going back to Beijing soon."
Qin Keqing said this, with a hint of resentment on her face.
She was still thinking about asking Lin Chen to find a time to take Xiren into the room, but she didn't expect the Liaodong war to happen.
"Sister Qin, are you worried about your husband?"
"Who is thinking about him? He is restless when he goes out to fight."
Qin Keqing thought of something, and her tone was sour, but there was not much malice.
Only, the person in question stuffed a piece of candied fruit into his mouth and squinted his eyes happily.
It was not someone else, but Dayuer!
That day, Lin Chen raided the capital of the Later Jin Dynasty, and all the Jurchen nobles who were escorted back arrived in the capital.
For this reason, Li Zhao also held a special court meeting, watching Tong Jia's humble and obedient request for the emperor to forgive her guilt.
Therefore, Li Zhao did not make things difficult for these Jurchen nobles.
He rewarded them with some property and let them settle down in the capital.
As for Dayuer.
I don't know who said that this girl had been stayed by Lin Chen.
So Li Zhao ordered her to be sent to Lin's house.
When outsiders learned about this, they all criticized Lin Chenjia's favor.
Of course.
Who made Lin Chenjia a confidant of His Majesty and really capable.
Wang Yuyan looked at this half-grown girl and didn't say anything, so she let her stay in the house.
Dayuer: "?"
Seeing Qin Keqing talking about her, Dayuer looked at her with wide eyes.
What else could Qin Keqing say when she saw this?
Was she jealous of a little girl?
As someone close to Lin Chen, she was also very clear about Lin Chen's code of conduct.
Lin Chen would never take action against such a little girl.
Otherwise, Qingwen, the foxy girl, would have climbed into bed long ago.
"But this time when my husband comes back, there should be a reward, right?" Xue Baoqin thought of something and asked in a low voice.
This made Wang Yuyan and Qin Keqing stumped.
These young ladies really don't know much about the official positions in the court.
"That should be it." Wang Yuyan nodded gently.
Lin Chen, who was being talked about, was covered in dust.
He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the city wall again.
Lin Chen began to miss his beautiful wife and concubines in the mansion.
After all, he had not touched any meat in the past month.
At his age, he was hot-tempered.
But he didn't want to.
As soon as Lin Chen entered the city in a low-key manner, he saw a familiar figure waiting for him.
"Wan'er~"
Shangguan Wan'er, who was called so affectionately by Lin Chen, blushed slightly.
Although they knew each other well, they couldn't stand such mushy things.
"Go wash up first!"
Shangguan Wan'er pushed away Lin Chen's attempt to get close to him and said unhappily.
Hearing this, Lin Chen pondered for a moment and uttered two words: "Together?"
Originally, Lin Chen was joking.
But Shangguan Wan'er saw a thoughtful look in her eyes, and then nodded.
"Okay!"
This extraordinary woman was also not shy about this matter.
Prince's Mansion.
Today, the palace maid found that the hot water used by Shangguan Lady for bathing was three times more than usual.
It took longer.
According to modern medical knowledge.
Proper venting is good for physical and mental health.
The two people who changed into clean clothes and walked hand in hand.
It can't help but make people look sideways.
The reason is that the man is handsome and the woman is cute, like a fairy couple.
These two people.
Naturally, they are Shangguan Wan'er and Lin Chen.
Shangguan Wan'er frowned, and a jade hand fell on her lower abdomen.
"Have you broken through the innate?"
Shangguan Wan'er asked Lin Chen coldly.
Lin Chen was stunned when he heard it.
He broke through when he went south to Jiangnan, Shangguan Wan'er should not know.
Of course.
Lin Chen did not hide anything, and nodded with a chuckle.
"No wonder, this cold-dispelling effect is a hundred times better than usual."
Hearing Shangguan Wan'er say this, Lin Chen's expression was a little strange.
He naturally knew that Shangguan Wan'er had a special physique and needed pure yang essence to dissolve the cold.
Once the cold was completely dissipated, she would be able to break through the innate realm.
"How many more times do you need?" Lin Chen asked curiously.
But.
As soon as he asked, a pair of small hands twisted around his waist, and Shangguan Wan'er rolled her eyes shyly.
This kind of thing.
How could she say it out loud?
Fengyue Xianqing was put aside for now.
"You have made an indelible contribution to stabilizing the situation in Liaodong this time!"
Shangguan Wan'er looked at Lin Chen, and a strange color appeared in her eyes.
Unexpectedly.
The guy that his majesty found was actually a rare genius.
"As for Zhao Kuangyin, was it really not you who did it?"
Shangguan Wan'er's face was full of surprise when she mentioned Zhao Kuangyin's death.
When Lin Chen heard this, his mouth twitched slightly and he spread his hands.
"Zhao Kuangyin was killed by his brother, Zhao Guangyi."
After all, this is a kind of historical inertia. .
"Zhao Guangyi?"
Shangguan Wan'er muttered this name, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"As for the governor of Jiangzhou you recommended, he has already arrived in the capital."
Lin Chen, who heard Shangguan Wan'er say this, immediately became interested.
He has memorized many of this person's poems.
There is also a poem called Qingyu'an·Yuan Xi, which has been plagiarized and borrowed by countless male protagonists who travel through history.
Especially the sentence: I searched for him thousands of times in the crowd, and when I looked back suddenly, he was there, in the dim light.
Whoever reads it will feel shocked.
