No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

The autumn wind is picking up.

It took nearly half a month for Lin Mingyan to regain her appetite.

It was only then that everyone realized that the once-powerful Li family was under house arrest.

Although it was not explicitly stated in the backyard, she had not come out to show off for a long time.

I didn't meet him twice when I went to pay my respects, and no one came to report sick leave.

Moreover, Fu Jin did not get angry about this.

I guess he was really punished.

Lin Mingyan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

She had more or less guessed that the treatment she had received some time ago was not because the people in the kitchen were stupid, but because Li was the one who was disciplining her behind the scenes.

Now that Li is in trouble, I feel a lot better.

In return for his kindness, she became much more attentive to the Fourth Master.

After all, he had avenged himself.

After Lin Mingyan regained favor, the Fourth Master not only gave her money and things, but also planned to give them to people.

"The three servants in your room are not very smart," the Fourth Master touched her back, not very satisfied with the bones. "Although training can be useful, we can't just wait for them to improve."

"I have quite a few well-trained ones. How about giving you two?"

Since he wanted to consider Lin Mingyan, he would not ignore her wishes.

He had seen a lot of things going on in the harem, and many people didn't want their slaves to be commanded by others.

For example, among the people serving Fu Jin, not one of them can be her own.

But since it’s not happening in public, who can say for sure what’s happening in secret?

Lin Mingyan felt like it was a godsend and nodded quickly, "Yes, I want it!"

After she became a princess, she should have had four maids and two eunuchs.

But I don’t know whether Fu Jin was too busy or deliberately didn’t match her up. In any case, there were only Du Juan and the other two in Linfengju.

It is of course good that the Fourth Master has completed the task now. At least he does not have to worry about the person who comes in later being a spy sent by the Concubine or someone else.

Anyway, she wasn't afraid that the Fourth Master would know anything.

The Fourth Master nodded and sent the person over that same day.

Su Peisheng specifically told her: "Cuiwei was originally serving in the study, and she is quite capable."

Compared to Cuiwei's grand introduction, the other two people just mentioned it in passing.

Different from the courtesy she showed to Du Juan and the other two, Lin Mingyan only asked the names of these three people and did not say much else.

Even when Su Peisheng took the trouble to introduce Cuiwei, she only said a polite word.

No matter how it was sent by the Fourth Master, he never said that he wanted to work in the management of Linfengju.

Everything is done on a first come first served basis.

If Du Juan and others were particularly unworthy of being reused, then there would be some reason to recruit new people, but she was still satisfied with the three of them for now.

Dujuan was still the manager among the maids. She and Linglan occupied the position of first-class maids, and the two who came after her could only be second-class maids.

The same goes for the eunuchs. Su He is in charge of external affairs, and the new eunuch Su Yan is responsible for serving meals.

The Fourth Master came over in the evening and saw that she had arranged everything properly, so he said, "That's right, Su Yan was originally working in the front yard. From now on, no one in the kitchen will withhold your food."

"Even if there is, wouldn't he have informed those brothers and sisters in the front yard?"

As for the people in Linfengju, he also asked them to be loyal to Lin Mingyan, and he would not force them to be spies.

Lin Mingyan said coquettishly: "I don't need him, can't I tell you myself?"

"Besides, are you going to not come to see me for another month?"

She didn't know why she caught the Fourth Master's eye, but in order to compensate her, this man had been staying in Linfengju for more than half a month.

Even during this period, Li was under house arrest, and she would only visit the concubine in the backyard on the first and fifteenth days of the month to pay her respects.

As for the remaining Song and Zhang families, he treated them as if they didn't exist.

Lin Mingyan was happy, but more worried.

Combining historical records and reality, she believes that the Fourth Master is a person with particularly strong love and hate.

When I love you, I really love you and I can give you any good thing.

But if they don't love him, they have really forgotten about it. Like Zhang, she has never seen him in person until now.

He didn't even know whether Zhang was beautiful or ugly, or had a personality, and he could completely ignore her just because she was his wife.

Lin Mingyan didn't want to end up like this. She wanted to live and live a good life.

The Fourth Master hugged her and sighed, "No."

Even if there are new people in the future and there will be a lot of things to do, it is always possible to take some time out a month to visit her.

Just agree to it.

The Fourth Master, who never made promises, was so confused that he agreed to visit Lin Mingyan every month.

He was even afraid that he would not remember it, so he asked Su Peisheng to remember it and remind him when the time comes.

Su Peisheng pinched his nose and took on the job, amazed.

The weather is getting cooler. It is already October, the golden autumn, and the air is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.

Lin Mingyan threw the fish food in her hand into the fish tank in the yard. Only then did the Fourth Master realize that a fish tank had appeared in Linfengju at some point.

There are...three mandarin fish in it.

"Why did you think of raising such a big fish?" The Fourth Master shook his head, feeling a little funny.

Who raises fish this big? Aren’t they just koi for ornamental purposes?

Lin Mingyan hummed softly: "I caught this myself, originally intended for you to eat."

"They are lucky to be raised in your yard."

The fish that was originally intended to be grilled for the Fourth Master to eat was saved because of the chaos and war during this period.

I have raised it for almost two months now and have developed an attachment to it, so I have no choice but to continue raising it.

"You caught it yourself?" The Fourth Master was indeed surprised.

He didn't know that there was a place to fish in the mansion!

Lin Mingyan was a person who knew how to handle things. She immediately pulled him up, told Dujuan to take the fishing rod she had made, and went to the place where they had fished last time.

"It's right here. There are two stone blocks. Sit down and fish!" She put the fishing rod in the hands of the Fourth Master.

It looks like you go fishing and I'm waiting to eat it.

The Fourth Master teased her, "Why? Didn't you catch them for me to eat?"

Lin Mingyan curled her lips and said, "I've already missed this opportunity. Now you catch it for me to eat."

This is not a difficult task, just fish.

"Oh my! I've taken the bait again!"

"Hurry up, hurry up~"

“It fell again!”

Looking at the fish that got off the hook for the third time, the Fourth Master really got angry.

"Su Peisheng, go get me a big fishhook!"

Lin Mingyan followed up, "Yes, yes, the fishhook must be too small."

"I made this myself with an embroidery needle. It's not very easy to use."

Well, she caught three fish with her bad hook, and I didn't catch any!

The Fourth Master felt a little pain in his knees.

After much difficulty, he changed to a bigger fish hook and caught two big fish as long as his forearm in a row. Only then did he feel proud.

Listening to his hearty laughter, I knew he must be very happy.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Lin Mingyan persuaded him again and again before returning to the courtyard.

Then...she wanted to eat grilled fish.

The kind that is fried first and then grilled on a small charcoal stove.

The grilled fish at the night market is so delicious that it makes my mouth water.
