After stabbing my ex-boyfriend, I went traveling

Yang Mei and Lin Wan'er will celebrate the New Year in the Prime Minister's Residence this year, and the person most excited about this is Lin Dabao.

Lin Dabao is Lin Ruofu's eldest son, born with mental impairment. He is still young and it is not obvious now, but when he is a few years older, it will be discovered that his mental state is still at the level of a young child.

If it were another family, they might not throw their son away directly, but they would definitely dislike him.

But Lin Ruofu is different. He loves Dabao very much and is even willing to squeeze out more time to play with Dabao. As a powerful prime minister, can't he afford to raise a son? Dabao doesn't need you to be successful in this life. He can stay at home happily all his life.

The carriage carrying Yang Mei and Lin Wan'er had not yet arrived at the prime minister's residence, but Lin Dabao was already waiting at the door.

"Xiaofeng! Wan'er!" Lin Dabao waved and shouted excitedly as soon as he saw the carriage.

Yang Mei felt that since Dabao was so enthusiastic, they had to give him sufficient emotional feedback.

"Brother Dabao!" Yang Mei and Lin Wan'er, sitting in the carriage, also waved at Dabao.

Dabao was indeed happier.

After Yang Mei and Lin Wan'er got off the carriage, Dabao rushed over and hugged them both at the same time.

"Xiaofeng, Wan'er, you haven't come to play with Dabao for a long time." Dabao said somewhat aggrievedly.

Yang Mei patted his arm: "Brother Dabao, have you forgotten that I am not in good health, so I have to stay in the palace most of the time."

"That's right, Xiaofeng, he's not feeling well." Dabao repeated, not quite understanding, "Let's go in quickly, Xiaofeng is not feeling well, he can't be exposed to the wind."

Listen, Dabao is obviously very smart.

It snowed last night, and the courtyard of the Xiangfu was covered with a layer of silver. However, the stone paths were cleaned by the servants to prevent the owner from slipping.

Although Lin Ruofu did not wait outside the gate like Dabao, he stood in the corridor and watched with a smile as Dabao walked in the middle, holding Yang Mei and Lin Wan'er on his left and right.

Lin Wan'er ran over first and threw herself directly into the arms of Lin Ruofu, who had already squatted down with his arms open.

"Dad! I miss you so much. Dad, do you miss me?" Lin Wan'er said sweetly.

"Yes, Dad misses Wan'er every day." Lin Ruofu hugged his daughter and smiled from ear to ear.

He held Lin Wan'er with one arm, and then stretched out his other empty hand towards Yang Mei: "Feng'er, come to Daddy."

Yang Mei trotted over.

In fact, he could run faster, but that would definitely scare his old father.

These people now think he is a porcelain doll that will fall apart if he runs a little faster.

Lin's old father Ruofu is only in his thirties this year, and is in the prime of his life. He picked up Yang Mei with all his strength, and now there is a child sitting in each of his arms.

Dabao stood not far away and clapped his hands happily: "Wow! Dad is so awesome, he picked up Xiaofeng and Wan'er in no time!"

"Dad, where is my second brother?" Lin Wan'er looked around.

"Your second brother is practicing martial arts in the backyard. Let's not go and see him. He's all sweaty." Lin Ruofu called Dabao, holding Yang Mei and Lin Wan'er, and the four of them went to the courtyard that had been cleaned up long ago.

Because Yang Mei and Lin Wan'er are still young, Lin Wan'er said she wanted to live with her brother, so Lin Ruofu arranged the two of them to live in the same courtyard.

Two years later, when the two children grew up, one of them moved to the courtyard opposite. There was only a small garden between the two courtyards, so it was very convenient to travel back and forth.

……

After Yang Mei had lived comfortably in the Prime Minister's residence for a few days, she finally remembered to go to the Inspection Institute.

With Lin Ruofu's connections, he knew everything that happened before.

"Feng'er, how about dad go with you?" Lin Ruofu was a little worried.

Yang Mei refused: "No, Dad. I'm just going to pick a guard. It won't take long and I won't encounter any danger. Don't you have official business to deal with in the store? Don't worry about me. I'll be back soon."

Despite what Yang Mei said, Lin Ruofu finally sent his adviser Yuan Hongdao to go with him.

"Mr. Yuan, have you known my father for a long time?" Yang Mei asked casually while lifting the curtain to look out while sitting in the slowly moving carriage.

Yuan Hongdao was very respectful: "Yes, we have known each other for a long time. I met Lin Xiang when we were still students. So many years have passed in a flash."

"Mr. Yuan, do you remember the past?"

"Yes." Yuan Hongdao's tone was full of emotion, "At that time, your father and I were both commoners, but we had the same ambition. We both longed to pass the imperial examination and become an official of the Qing Kingdom. At that time, we would do our best to seek benefits for the people.

But I didn't expect that after the imperial examination, your father was favored by your mother and became the royal consort of the Qing Kingdom. His status began to rise.

But I failed the exam.

But your father still treated me as before, so I became your father's counselor."

The Imperial Examination...

Yang Meixin said that fortunately she was born into a royal family in this life and did not need to take the imperial examination.

However, even if he had not been born into a royal family, he felt that he would not have taken the path of imperial examinations.

Although the imperial examinations in the feudal era and the middle school entrance examinations and college entrance examinations in later generations can all be described as a huge competition between thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, Yang Mei believes that the possibility of tampering in the imperial examinations is too great.

Take him now for example, he is the eldest princess's son and the Marquis of Qing Kingdom.

A casual remark from him could make a person appear on the list, or make someone fail to appear on the list.

"Perhaps the imperial examination is not the most suitable path for Mr. Yuan. It is good for you the way you are now."

Yuan Hongdao laughed: "Young Marquis is right, I am fine the way I am now."

The carriage finally arrived at the Inspection Institute.

Yang Mei had already sent someone to deliver the visiting card yesterday, so the Inspection Institute was already prepared to receive them. The person standing at the door to greet them was Yan Ruohai, the director of the Inspection Institute.

Yang Mei got off the carriage on the movable steps specially made for him. He did not rush into the house, but cast his eyes on a dusty stone tablet at the entrance of the Inspection Institute.

"This is?"

Yan Ruohai bowed to him respectfully, without any perfunctory gesture.

"In reply to the young marquis, this stone tablet was erected by Ye Qingmei, the founder of the Inspection Institute."

Yang Mei tilted her head slightly and said to Yuan Hongdao, "Find someone to wipe the stone tablet. The words on the tablet can't be seen clearly under such thick dust."

While waiting, light snow fell from the sky.

Yuan Hongdao was prepared. He took out an umbrella from the carriage and held it over Yang Mei's head.

The grayish-white stone tablet was vigorously wiped off a layer of dust. Looking at it now, its color is like a shell that has been exposed to the sun and rain, a little pale and yellow, as if it had been carved by time.

Yang Mei took a few steps back, otherwise it would be tiring for him to look up if he was too close.

I saw the words written on the stone tablet from right to left: I hope that the laws of Qing Kingdom will be established for the people, not tolerated because of nobility, not deprived because of poverty. No unjustified injustice, no imposed crimes, respect the people, follow the truth, know etiquette, keep benevolence, do not judge success or failure by money, do not succumb to power, sympathize with the weak, hate injustice, be determined in times of crisis, and always reflect on yourself when no one is around. I hope that there will be no more oppression and bondage in this world, and everyone born in this world will have the right to live, the right to freedom, and the right to happiness. I hope that one day everyone will be born equal, there will be no distinction between noble and humble, protect life, and pursue light. This is what I wish for. Although there are thousands of twists and turns, I am not afraid to move forward. I am born equal and everyone is like a dragon.

Yang Mei has lived in a modern society with perfect laws, but a lifetime is only a few decades. Compared with the countless years he has spent in the primitive times, these few decades are just a drop in the ocean.

Therefore, although he admired the lofty ambitions held by Ms. Ye Qingmei, he was not more moved by the words on the stone tablet.

"go in."

The group entered the gate of the Inspection Institute, and the stone tablet at the entrance turned its back to them and walked away from them.

"Dean Chen received a summons from His Majesty today and is still in the palace. But before he left, he left a message asking me to take the young marquis around so that you can choose guards."

"I can choose anyone? You too?" Yang Mei joked.

Yan Ruohai smiled calmly and said, "You can choose me, but the young marquis has seen that I am already old, and being a guard will only hinder the young marquis."

That's the truth.

Of course Yang Mei wouldn't choose him.

There is nothing special inside the Inspection Institute. There are courtyards inside each other, and each of the eight places occupies an area.

Although he came to select guards, he did not ask everyone in the Inspection Institute to stop what they were doing to welcome him.

How could he pick out any good guards just by standing in a pile in front of him?

So these people just went about their work as normal, and when Yang Mei approached them, they just bowed.

Anyway, with Yan Ruohai leading the way, Yang Mei just followed.

After seeing quite a few people, they came to a place that looked like a martial arts arena, except that this arena was a little small, and there was only a little kid practicing sword inside.

This child looks older than Yang Mei, probably around seven or eight years old.

"This is my son Yan Bingyun." Yan Ruohai softened a little when he talked about his son.

Yan Bingyun was so absorbed in his sword practice that he didn't realize Yan Ruohai was coming until he was called.

"Although it may be presumptuous to say this, I think your son is a good one and I would like to choose him as my bodyguard." Yang Mei suddenly said.

Yan Ruohai was surprised: "This... the child is still young, I'm afraid he can't do it."

"I guessed you would say that." Yang Mei was not surprised at all. "We should be flexible. We can also change the word 'escort' to 'study companion', for example.

Yan Bingyun is about the same age as me, so I should have a lot in common with him.

And if he follows me, I will provide him with the learning resources in the palace, and we will be friends who grow together in the future."

Yan Ruohai privately thought that this was not a bad idea considering the long-term benefits.

But he is not an authoritarian parent. He wants his son to make his own choice in this matter.

"Young Marquis, we are honored that you have chosen our son. But regarding the matter of accompanying him to school, I want the child to make his own choice. If he doesn't want to..."

"Then I naturally won't force you." Yang Mei replied at the right time.

The next day, the Inspection Office sent a letter to the Prime Minister's residence, saying that Yan Bingyun was willing to be his tutor.

Yang Mei didn’t know how the father and son discussed it, but he was very satisfied with the result.

After the New Year, Yang Mei and Lin Wan'er returned to the palace, and this time Yan Bingyun was also there.

Just as Yang Mei had said to Yan Ruohai before, Yan Bingyun enjoyed almost the same learning resources as Yang Mei in the palace.

The collection of books in the palace is undoubtedly rich, including classics, historical books, mathematics, travel notes, and even many martial arts secrets.

These martial arts secrets are not cheap goods, they are genuine martial arts secrets that can be practiced to at least the ninth level of master.

Yan Bingyun couldn't read all of these books. Even Yang Mei couldn't read some of them.

But he can apply.

……

Ten years later.

Yang Mei is still alive.

Everyone in Kyoto who knew about this matter had become numb.

You said he had already relieved Haruhi of her drunkenness, but that was no use.

But what kind of trouble did the poison bring to him? Was it physical weakness and coldness? Yes, he vomited blood at any time, which was terrible.

But other than that, there's nothing wrong with him.

It's a medical miracle.

One would almost think that Haruhizuki was not a deadly poison.

Yang Mei did not stay in Kyoto all these years. He traveled around Qing Kingdom and even went to Northern Qi.

It should be said that he found the fragments of Shichen's soul in Northern Qi.

He is the regent of Northern Qi, Zhan Congrong, eight years older than Yang Mei.

Yang Mei couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she first heard his name.

His name is Lin Suifeng and that man's name is Zhan Congrong.

Stop, forget, and follow the wind; walk, watch, and be calm.

Whoever hears this would not say it is fate.

As for why he went to Northern Qi, we have to start with the financial power of the inner treasury.

The Neiku was also established by Ye Qingmei. At the beginning, she established a factory for manufacturing modern items in Yejia Village at the junction of Dongyi City and Nanjing, which produced glass, soap, perfume and other things. All the workers there were trained by her.

After the items were produced, they began to trade with Dongyi City, which gave Ye Qingmei a large amount of financial reserves and laid the foundation for her subsequent series of actions.

This Yejia Village was the original Neiku.

Later, Ye Qingmei met the young Emperor Qing. She helped Emperor Qing's father ascend the throne, and then planned to build the Inspection Institute and the Inner Treasury. Emperor Qing, who was the crown prince at the time, fully supported Ye Qingmei, but he required that the Inner Treasury must be built in Southern Qing.

In this way, Ye Qingmei selected a place in the Jiangnan region and planned to build an inner treasury there.

After the establishment of the inner treasury, the comprehensive national strength of Nanqing rose to a new level in just a few years. As a result, neighboring countries did not dare to easily invade Nanqing.

In other words, the Neiku belongs to Ye Qingmei personally, but it cooperates with the state and is a royal merchant and a state-owned enterprise.
