Chapter 134: The Heavenly Rift That Crossed Over

As soon as Huo Huaixi came out of the palace, he saw an eunuch shouting, "Grand Emperor, Grand Emperor, you are so happy! Prince Beijing sneaked into the rear of the Xiongnu and captured the Xiongnu general Dada Khan. The Xiongnu camp retreated a mile."

"Hahaha, rewards, everyone gets rewards."

"Thank you, His Majesty, for your gift."

…

Huo Huaixi lowered his head, a hint of sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, but it disappeared in a flash. He strode away without staying any longer.

…

After looking around for a while, Shen Ajiao didn't choose the ice sculpture of Bai Yi, so she decided to go back and find some ice to try. She dragged Lin Ruhai around for a while, but didn't find Lin Daiyu. "Will you go back first?"

"Will you?"

Shen Ajiao and Lin Ruhai decided to look around again. They looked in a big circle and saw Zhou Shun and Lin Daiyu at the scene where they were performing the stone-breaking performance.

Lin Daiyu had her eyes mostly covered with a handkerchief and even hid her body behind Zhou Shun, leaving only half of her head exposed.

【Both food and fun-loving. 】

Lin Ruhai: Madam, you are absolutely right!

Lin Daiyu: Maybe I'm afraid?

As he was thinking, a big man picked up a big hammer and smashed it. There was a loud bang, and the big rock broke into countless pieces.

"good!"

…

Daiyu quickly put the silver she had prepared long ago into the reward plate and peeked at the man who had been hit. Until he stood up again and clasped his fists, Lin Daiyu gave him a thumbs up.

Zhou Shun, "Are you scared by this?"

"You saw the sprayer so nervous last time."

Lin Daiyu, "What's so scary about that? If you spray it in your mouth and do something, it will burn you. This is nothing. It's scary just looking at it."

If today were New Year's Eve, I would still see something like this. In the past, it was just a sideshow, walking a dog or playing with a monkey.

Zhou Shun, "They are just trying to make a living, what measures do they have? They have gained this through long-term training."

Lin Daiyu opened her mouth wide, "Really no protective measures?"

Zhou Shun suddenly laughed and said, "I was just kidding you, look how scared you are."

"You! Disgusting!"

"Hahaha, come on, I'll take you to have tea. There's a teahouse on the street that has a new kind of tea. People say it tastes really good and should be paired with some salty ones."

Lin Daiyu snorted coldly, "I'm going to go, I want to go find my wife."

Zhou Shun, "Okay, let's take Sister A Jiao with us."

When they turned around, they saw Shen Ajiao and Lin Ruhai sitting under a persimmon lantern tree in the distance. They were holding a steaming roasted sweet potato in each hand. Behind them, Lin'an was holding a roasted pear in his hand, breathing out the hot air and grimacing from the heat.

Shen Ajiao, "After you finish reading, let's go and have some tea."

Zhou Shun was also not polite and followed behind Shen Ajiao and Lin Ruhai to drink tea.

Lin Daiyu stuck out her tongue behind her, humphed, and quickly took Shen Ajiao's arm, "Madam, I want to eat the wonton you mentioned last time. Do I eat chili?"

Zhou Shun raised his hand from behind, "I want to eat too."

Lin Ruhai gave Zhou Shun a blank look. Why did this guy still go home?

"Your father has come home."

Zhou Shun nodded, "I know."

Lin Ruhai: Then you go back to keep watch?

Zhou Shun lowered his head and played with the sword at his waist, "Uncle Lin."

Lin Ruhai, "Hmm?"

"My grandmother said I could use it back."

Lin Ruhai...it's such a big deal! Do you still need to tell him?

"I'm going to go find my second uncle later."

Lin Ruhai, are you telling me this too?

Suddenly I thought, is Zhou Yanzhe in the North? Zhou Shun is going to find his second uncle, is he going to the North?

He looked at Zhou Shun deeply and asked, "Can your family stand the test?"

Zhou Shun smiled and said, "I am an unknown person, so how can there be any test for me?"

His second uncle had been to the northern border, and his second uncle had achieved military success alone. He was just there to gain experience, and would have to take the imperial examination when he came back.

"Good boy, come on, uncle will treat you to tea."

Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu were talking to one side when they suddenly saw Lin Ruhai, who had been too fond of Zhou Shun. He patted Zhou Shun on the shoulder, and was very pleased, and even offered to invite him for tea.

"How is your father?"

Lin Daiyu shook her head, indicating that she was also confused. In the past, when her father saw Zhou Shun, he would chase him away, but he would never invite him for tea.

“Good.”

"It's a good sign." At least if Lin Ruhai saw Zhou Shun in the future, he would either be given an exam or be left on the bench.

As a result, on the first day of their new marriage, Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu received a letter from Zhou Shun, saying that he was going to experience the local customs and cultures of various places and would send them some local specialties when the time comes.

Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu were also confused. This person didn't say a word yesterday? Today, he made a big move.

Lin Ruhai smiled and said only one sentence, "A good man's ambition is to succeed."

Lin Daiyu didn't say much, but went back to her room silently.

Shen Ajiao cursed secretly, "You stinky girl, don't even tell me you're leaving. You really don't treat me as a sister!"

She gave him so many good things to eat, and even the red envelope he gave her yesterday was the biggest one. But he just left without saying anything. He was so heartless and ungrateful. She was so mad that she would never play with him again!

Lin Ruhai also took care of Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu. There were too many things going on in the past two days. The affairs of the imperial concubine in the palace had to be kept secret, and when the matter of Shui Rong was reported back, the emperor had to make some moves.

Yesterday, I saw Wang Ziteng, who had returned to Beijing to report on his work, in the palace. He was so eccentric and echoed Shen Shinan's words, which was really annoying.

It's unlucky to have to face them on the first day of my new life.

However, he still greeted Shen Ajiao and told her that Wang Ziteng had returned to Beijing.

Shen Ajiao frowned, "This person must be a big shot."

Seeing Lin Ruhai's frown, Shen Ajiao knew that this person was not as simple as Mrs. Wang, but was a difficult person to deal with.

"What about Madam Wang?"

Lin Ruhai, "He was sent back yesterday afternoon. They said that an old lady next to him confessed her crime and borrowed some money in the name of the Rongguo Mansion by relying on her family's influence. However, it was not usury, but she borrowed money from her relatives at a higher interest rate."

"As for Tanchun, Wang Ziteng said that he had found Tanchun."

Shen Ajiao avoided her gaze and said, "He must have admitted his mistake."

Lin Ruhai laughed and said, "Of course it depends on whether you admit your mistake. After all, Tanchun is dead, so how can there be any Tanchun left?"

Shen Ajiao felt a little guilty, "That's right, Tanchun has never been out of the house in her life, how can anyone get to know her?"

【Why are you looking at me? It has nothing to do with me. 】

Lin Ruhai smiled, "Yes, madam, what you said is very true."

Shen Ajiao saw Lin Ruhai looking at him with something strange in his eyes, and asked hurriedly, "You were released just like that?"

"Fine him 1,000 taels of silver, revoke his fifth-rank title, and order him to correct his mistakes."

Lin Ruhai paused, "The Ningguo government wrote to the emperor, and the Duke of Ningguo went there to request a replacement of the plaque."

This was something Shen Ajiao had not expected. Someone must have given the Ningguo government some advice.

When Shen Ajiao was wondering who it was, Wang Xifeng came to her door.

The only difference was that instead of the smiling face as before, she came here with red eyes.
