After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Late at night, Lin Ting fell asleep. She had no idea that there was a man behind her, looking for her disguised as a man.

The next day!

Lin Ting went to Huayan as usual to check the purchasing materials and the shipping status, arranged everything that needed to be done for the day, and planned to go to Qu Mansion to find Lin Lin in the afternoon.

Lin Ting hadn't gone yet, but at noon, the maidservant beside Lin Lin came to invite her first.

"Madam Lin, my wife invites you to dinner at her house today."

"Go back and tell my sister I'll be there soon."

Qu Yuanxun also came back at noon, and Lin Ting had the opportunity to ask him about what happened in the court today.

After asking Xiaoman to pack up her things, Lin Ting bought some gifts and took them to Qu's house.

This was her second time to visit Qu Mansion after arriving in the capital. It was much bigger than the county government office in Wenzhu County, and there were more servants, maids and old women in the house.

"Lin Ting is here. Why are you buying things again? Didn't I tell you that coming here is like coming home?"

Mrs. Qu likes crowds of people. It should be said that she likes a lively atmosphere. She is very happy every time Lin Ting comes over.

"Old lady, this is donkey-hide gelatin. I was passing by the pharmacy and saw it and bought it. Drink more of this, it's good for your health."

Old Madam Qu laughed heartily. She was in a very good mood today because Qu Yuanxun had been promoted.

"You're the only one who can talk, but I'm really happy today. Lin Ting, come in and sit down. Your sister and Yuanxun will be here soon."

When Lin Tingcong came in, he didn't see Lin Lin and Qu Yuanxun, but he saw new lanterns hanging in the house, which must be a happy event.

"Madam, is there any happy event in your house?"

Madam Qu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it is a great joy. Yuanxun came back from court today, and the emperor just promoted him. He is now the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. How can I not be happy? Hehehe..."

"Brother-in-law got promoted? Congratulations, old lady. This is truly a great joyous event."

The two were waiting in the front hall. Lin Lin and Qu Yuanxun went to the ancestral hall to burn incense and came back. They washed their hands before sitting down to eat.

When Lin Ting saw the two of them, he immediately stood up happily.

"Congratulations, sister, brother-in-law, for being promoted to the Minister of Revenue. Congratulations..."

Originally, Qu Yuanxun was a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, just like Lord Yu, but the position of Shilang was the highest-ranking official in the Ministry of Revenue except for the Minister of Revenue.

Qu Yuanxun: "Thank you!"

Lin Lin walked over to Lin Ting and pulled her to sit down.

“I should have held a grand promotion banquet for your brother-in-law, but he was worried about my poor health, so I just went to the ancestral hall to burn incense.

You were called here today because His Majesty asked your brother-in-law to tell you that you can do the business he wants to discuss with you.

Lin Ting, when you went to the palace to express your gratitude yesterday, what did you say to His Majesty? Why did you talk about business?

Lin Ting: "Sister, I'll tell you about this later. It's not convenient to talk here."

Qu Yuanxun also saw that it was indeed inconvenient with so many servants at home.

"Yes, my lady, let's eat first. You two can come to my study later and we can discuss it in detail."

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue had just retired and returned to his hometown. No one expected that this position would fall into Qu Yuanxun's hands, not even himself.

However, the emperor later said that it was because his family donated a farm of corn to the court that most of the people in the north were able to spend the winter safely last year. This merit was enough for him to be promoted to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Sometimes even Qu Yuanxun himself felt that Lin Lin was his lucky star. Since marrying Lin Lin, his family had been harmonious and he had been promoted steadily in his official career.

As long as Lin Lin can give birth to the child safely, he is willing to do anything she asks him to do.

After dinner, the three of them came to the study. Lin Lin asked the maid to go out and close the door.

Lin Ting looked towards the door and made sure that the servants had left before he began to ask Qu Yuanxun.

“Brother-in-law, today in the court, did the emperor discuss with the civil and military officials how to deal with Xi Luo?”

There was a lot of discussion in the court today, especially when talking about how to deal with Xi Luo, the scene was like a hundred schools of thought contending.

"Yes, originally, matters of the court should not be disclosed to family members or outsiders, but today after the court session, His Majesty met with me alone.

I can tell you about this, Lin Ting. Was it you who proposed the idea of ​​selling grain to Xi Luo at a low price to His Majesty yesterday? "

In the court today, the emperor did not mention anyone by name. He said that a mysterious person told him the solution.

After His Majesty finished speaking, the entire court was in an uproar. Now, this was really the only way to give Dongxia Kingdom a glimmer of hope.

"Lin Ting, how dare you be so bold? You dare to give advice to His Majesty? Do you want to live?"

Lin Lin was scared to death. It was ok for Lin Ting to be clever in his daily life, but now he was actually giving advice to a country. If something went wrong, he would be killed without a burial place.

"Sister, don't worry. I just expressed my opinion. As for the decision of Dongxia Kingdom, it is not my decision. I will be fine."

Lin Ting comforted Lin Lin, and Qu Yuanxun helped her sit down. She was about to give birth and couldn't be too excited.

"Okay, my lady, let's hear what Lin Ting has to say about this first."

In order to find out the whole story, Qu Yuanxun told the two sisters what had been discussed in the court today.

The gold and silver obtained from selling grain at a low price can be converted into supplies for King Xiluo, which will give Dongxia a respite. Therefore, most officials now agree with this plan.

“Lin Ting, the emperor and the ministers have agreed to your plan, but it’s only February now. They will send ministers to Xiluo before the harvest, probably in July.

Before that, our dynasty will prepare some things needed by the army, such as clothing, medicine, etc...."

Lin understood. She wanted to find Lin Lin yesterday and talk about this matter.

"Sister, what my brother-in-law said is only part of the story. Since the imperial court has agreed to the grain plan...

The second half of what I said to His Majesty, His Majesty probably hasn't announced it in the court yet, he just asked my brother-in-law to tell me that I can start a business."

Yes!

Qu Yuanxun was also curious. Why would the emperor specifically call him to tell Lin Ting what kind of business he could do?

"Lin Ting, you tell me first!"

The business is related to the imperial court, which could be fatal at any time, so Lin Lin dare not relax.

Lin Ting told him about the cooperation she had agreed with the emperor in the imperial study, and how they later collected fox furs to make clothes.

As soon as this plan was mentioned, Lin Lin and Qu Yuanxun looked at Lin Ting in disbelief. The combination of the second half and the first half, such a perfect plan to disintegrate, was actually thought up by Lin Ting?

You know, what they have to deal with is the entire Xiluo Kingdom, not their business rivals. Lin Ting is really bold and daring.

"No wonder His Majesty is so in favor of this low-priced grain as a lure today. It turns out you have a trick up your sleeve. Lin Ting, I still don't really see through you."
