Chapter 36

The wedding date of Xu Mohuai and Lin Fu was set in early winter. The people from the Ministry of Etiquette were already making preparations. They often asked Xu Mohuai what he meant, but he always asked Chang Pei to see it for him, but he was not interested in taking a look.

He couldn't say he liked Lin Fu, it was just because her background was the most suitable, and they were married by the late emperor, so it was only a matter of time before they got married.

Xu Mohuai knew Lin Wenqing's thoughts clearly without having to guess, but he was worried that he would promote a poor family and suppress the nobility, and wanted to stabilize the Lin family in the court in advance so that his status would not be shaken in the future.

The imperial examination cannot be rushed, but it has to be brought up as a daily routine as soon as possible. Even if we take history as a guide, we should know that the previous dynasty ended up being destroyed because the gentry was too strong.

Su Yan was imprisoned in Zhenyue Residence and could not go out. She could only sit in her own small courtyard every day. Apart from her master and the female officials who taught her, she could not see many outsiders. Zhenyueju was like a cage, trapping her tightly. There was no wind, rain, hunger or cold, but she could not get freedom.

Since she ran away once, Xu Mohuai never mentioned letting her go to the street again. Fortunately, he didn't come to her often, as if he was tied up by something.

Su Yan was driven crazy by being imprisoned, so Bihe had no choice but to find ways to help Su Yan relieve her depression every day. Over a period of time, she even learned to play Shuanglu. When Xu Mohuai went to Zhenyueju, she was still squatting on the ground helping Bihe choose vegetables without caring about her manners.

Bi He raised his head when he heard the noise. When he saw that the person was Xu Mohuai, he was almost half scared. He immediately pulled the sunflower seeds from Su Yan's hand and knelt on the ground to admit his mistake.

Su Yan didn't know what Bi He did wrong and looked at Xu Mohuai strangely.

He said angrily: "It's really your servant's fate."

Su Yan heard that he was talking about herself, and immediately said: "How can it be regarded as my servant's fate to support myself? Bihe shouldn't have to do such big and small things." , so what if we help her together."

Xu Mohuai was in a bad mood, so he picked her up from the ground and walked towards the house.

"Do you know what decency is? Now that you are the master, doing things like a slave will make people laugh at you. Why don't you wait for someone to praise you for your good intentions? You will be looked down upon."

Su Yan said nonchalantly: "I I am this kind of person. I have been working since I was a child. I can only wait to starve to death without doing anything. Now that you have locked me up here and am not allowed to go anywhere, I have no choice but to find something to do for myself. You open your mouth like a pig, and you are fattened just waiting to be slaughtered to eat well." When

Xu Mohuai heard her metaphor, he couldn't help but frowned and said displeased: "That's what you brought upon yourself."

Su Yan was completely Silence.

When he entered the room, he took off his outer robe, walked straight to the soft couch and sat down, then waved to Su Yan.

Su Yan was gently led by Xu Mohuai and sat in his arms. She immediately fluttered to get down like a frightened rabbit, but was tightly restrained and unable to escape. His fingers pressed on the corners of her lips and rubbed them, sometimes lightly and sometimes heavily, like What an ambiguous hint.
