Chapter 327 Do You Know? Lin Yitang 41
Time flies, and another year has passed. In March of the sixth year of the Huangyou era, Sheng Hong finally managed to be transferred to Bianjing through his own abilities, management skills, and connections. As for his official position, it would need to be decided by the emperor before he was granted an official post.
At the dock, Sheng Hong's servant, Dong Rong, was busily directing his men to move things.
Lin Qinshuang took Mo Lan aboard the boat, but the noise outside made her a little irritated.
"Hmph, I knew it. The lady was so smug the other day. It's just because the lord was transferred to Bianjing." Lin Qinshuang said impatiently.
She would prefer that Sheng Hong stay in Yangzhou, so that she could still be the housekeeper of the Sheng family, but Sheng Hong's promotion was also a great honor for her.
“Young mistress, the Lord has been promoted. This is a joyous occasion for you, Young Master Changfeng, and Miss Molan,” Zhou Xueniang comforted.
After a moment's thought, Lin Qinshuang suddenly realized that when she voluntarily returned the power of housekeeping, Sheng Hong had given her a lot of good things. She should save these things to use for Mo'er's dowry.
An hour later, the luggage was packed and the ship began to move slowly.
As Sheng Minglan watched Yangzhou gradually recede into the distance outside the window, a deep sadness welled up in her heart. Her mother had died in Yangzhou, a place filled with both painful and joyful memories.
Seeing this, Xiao Tao quickly interrupted Sheng Minglan's sorrow: "Miss! Miss!"
Sheng Minglan was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses: "Xiao Tao, you scared me!"
"Hmph, I've already called you 'Miss' twice. What are you thinking about?" Xiao Tao asked cautiously.
In the end, Sheng Minglan did not tell Xiaotao about missing her mother. Xiaotao was simple-minded, and if she found out, she would be worried sick.
"What kind of place is Bianjing?" Sheng Minglan asked dismissively.
“Bianjing must be a very big place, right? I wonder if it’s more prosperous than Yangzhou?” Xiao Tao said excitedly, but Sheng Minglan quickly changed the subject.
The two of them chatted back and forth, and Grandma Sheng and Mama Fang smiled with satisfaction when they saw the two boys.
“Now you can rest assured.” Mrs. Fang nodded.
"We're moving to Bianjing these next few days. Ming'er has been unhappy all day long. I know she misses her mother, but I can't bring it up easily. I hope Ming'er can think things through by now," Old Madam Sheng sighed.
……
The Sheng family had been adrift on the water for over a month before finally reaching land, but it would still take another half a month by carriage to reach Bianjing.
Upon entering Bianjing, the bustling scene of Bianjing came into view. Sheng Minglan and Xiao Tao lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked left and right, and occasionally sighed.
In the inner palace, Lin Yitang was packing the things Zhao Xu would need to study in the Imperial Study. Zhao Xu was six years old this year, the only prince who had been raised to the age of six. The Emperor had always valued Zhao Xu, and now that he was about to grow up, he valued him even more.
If Lin Yitang hadn't stopped him, he would probably have been working from dawn till dusk at the age of five. But Lin Yitang was only worried about the child's health; she didn't want to worry about his studies.
As for education, at most she would ensure that Zhao Xu doesn't go astray, doesn't favor civil officials, maintains a balance between civil and military affairs, and strives to reclaim the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun.
"Check again carefully. If anything is missing, Madam Lin won't let you off the hook," Lian Yun scolded.
Lin Yitang held Zhao Xu's little hand, patted his little braid, and patiently said, "Xu'er, you must know that those teachers can only teach you to be knowledgeable and well-informed, but they will never teach you how to be an emperor. If you want to learn how to be an emperor, you need to observe your father more and learn from him."
Zhao Xu was young but intelligent. Lin Yitang gave him an Enlightenment Pill, and Zhao Xu nodded thoughtfully.
