Chapter 410: The Third Master Met the Imperial Deed
After hearing what the man said, the young woman felt particularly grateful to her father-in-law for setting an example.
Look, my husband learned this from his father-in-law, he loves his wife so much!
A hint of happiness appeared on the young woman's face.
But then—
A hint of worry appeared between his brows again.
"Husband..." The young woman hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong?" The Third Master noticed his wife's uneasiness and asked, "Is it not to your liking? Or is it because the weather is too hot and you're feeling uncomfortable?"
The young woman quickly shook her head and said, "Husband, I'm fine, but...what if mother-in-law doesn't like me? After all, we..."
The young woman didn't say anything else, but the third master understood what his wife meant.
To put it bluntly, the couple got married without their parents' consent.
Of course, my daughter-in-law's parents are no longer alive.
However, his parents did not know that their son had already married.
"Manniang, don't worry. My mother is very kind and will definitely like you." As the Third Master spoke, his expression became soft and complicated. A hint of longing appeared in his eyes, and his eyes were slightly red. "If my mother knew that I got married, she would definitely be very happy..."
Yes, his mother will definitely be very happy.
Their family was poor at that time, and his grandmother wanted to marry his cousin to him, but his aunt despised their poverty and disagreed. She ran to their house and made a big fuss, which made his mother sick.
In fact, he never thought of marrying his cousin.
He originally thought that the one who would accompany him for the rest of his life was...
The Third Master closed his eyes.
The past is like smoke, why remember it again?
What he needs to cherish in the future is his wife.
If it weren't for my wife, I would have died a long time ago.
What's more, my wife has been waiting for me for so many years.
"Okay, eat quickly. After dinner, we can set off." The third master said to his wife in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
The young woman, Sun Manniang, showed a touching smile on her face and said "hmm" softly.
"Oh! I can finally take a break. My old bones are almost falling apart."
Following a slightly feminine and sharp voice, a white-faced, beardless man wearing a blue robe and with gray hair was helped down from the carriage by two guards.
Behind the carriage, there were several large carts covered tightly with oilcloth.
On both sides of the carriage, there was a team of guards with swords on their waists and riding tall horses.
Judging from their attire, they should be the imperial guards in the imperial city.
"Eunuch Liu, please slow down." said a guard.
"Hey, okay..."
Eunuch Liu said this while moving his numb legs and feet.
Then, he looked towards the teahouse.
The old man selling tea had already called out loudly.
"Gentlemen, a large bowl of tea costs one penny..."
"Give us a bowl each, and some sesame cakes..."
A guard said this, looking at the dried meat and pickles on the Third Master's table.
"Several large plates of that dried meat, and a few plates of pickled vegetables."
The old man selling tea was overjoyed after hearing what the guard said.
"Okay! Gentlemen, please wait a moment!"
Although this is a teahouse, people passing by will buy some food if it is time for lunch.
Just today, two big customers came in succession, which is enough to cover his income for half a month.
Several guards and Eunuch Liu sat at a table not far from the Third Master.
Others were either sitting or standing, each finding a place to drink tea and eat.
"Eunuch Liu, haven't you been to Daliushu Village? How far is it to get there?" asked a guard.
Liu Gui immediately looked at the Third Master.
The place where the Third Master was going was also Daliushu Village.
It can't be the same place, right?
The Third Master also showed a hint of curiosity on his face, and couldn't help but look at Eunuch Liu and others.
After hearing what the guard said, Eunuch Liu said, "If we continue like this, we'll have to walk for several more days."
"Oh, it's so hot today. I'm afraid you'll have to work hard again." said a guard.
"That can't be helped." Eunuch Liu sighed and said, "Going far away to deliver an imperial decree is not as comfortable as staying in the capital."
"Of course, even Xie Yin can't compare to the capital." A guard said with a smile, "I don't know which family received so many rewards for nothing, and received such great grace from the emperor. A country woman was actually canonized as a peace lady. Do you know how to give you a red envelope as a token of respect?"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Liu glared at the guard and said, "What do you mean by 'country woman'? She is the legitimate daughter of the late Duke of Ying. She was framed by a villain and ended up in the countryside."
Eunuch Liu paused here, not knowing what he was thinking about, and then added with emotion: "Don't look at him now, living in the countryside, he is still very insightful."
"After all, she comes from a wealthy family. Speaking of which, when I first went to Daliushu Village to convey the emperor's decree—oh, that is, when the emperor conferred upon their daughter the title of Lord of Fude Village—I discovered that Lord of Fude's mother didn't look like a country woman. She looked more like the mistress of a wealthy family..."
Eunuch Liu didn't know whether he was speaking in hindsight, but as he spoke, he started to boast about how discerning he was.
Finally, he added meaningfully, "We don't really need the red envelope, but we're happy to go to Daliushu Village again, even though it's hard..."
Eunuch Liu did not deliberately lower his voice when he spoke, so that the Third Master, Liu Gui and others could hear it.
Liu Gui looked at the Third Master in shock.
"Third Master, is this referring to your village?" Liu Gui asked in a low voice, "Could it be that in the case that was tried at the Shuntian Prefecture government office that day, the niece of the Lin family... settled in your village?"
The Third Master frowned and said, "Maybe it's because the village has the same name?"
Where can you find such a family in their village?
Moreover, my daughter has already been canonized as the village leader?
After hearing what the Third Master said, Liu Gui couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Then, I also thought, how could it be such a coincidence.
However, he was really curious. It would be nice if he could really meet the niece of the Lin family.
After all, the biggest scandal in the capital during this period was caused by the niece of the Lin family.
Just as Liu Gui was thinking, two more carriages came rumbling in the distance.
The carriage stopped at the teahouse and Mr. Lin Sanye jumped out of the carriage.
Then he turned around to help Lin Hong.
"Dad, slow down!"
After Lin Hong got off the car, he glanced towards the teahouse.
Eunuch Liu happened to look at Lin Hong as well.
"Oh! Isn't this the Duke?" said Eunuch Liu.
Lin Hong's expression changed slightly.
"Eunuch Liu, I am just a commoner now, so please be careful with your words."
Eunuch Liu did not make things difficult for Lin Hong and said, "It was I who forgot. It was a slip of the tongue. Please don't blame me."
After saying that, he glanced at the carriage behind Lin Hong.
Then, he said with a smile: "Xiao Linzi, where are you going?"
Lin Hong, “…”
His expression froze.
Xiao Linzi?
