Remember "Bookworm" in one second.

  After finishing breakfast, Sun Shi instructed Ling Jingyan: "Ah Shu and Ah Xiao are new here and not familiar with the environment. Today, you take them on a good tour around."

  Ling Jingyan smiled and responded.

  Ling Jingxu was actually not interested in the Ling family's mansion, what she really wanted to go to was Hui Chun Tang.

  However, today is only the fifth day of the month, and there are still some days before the fifteenth. Even if I went to Huichuntang, I wouldn't be able to see Imperial Physician Wei. Moreover, the Crown Prince has just returned to the capital, and wanting to visit him to ask for an invitation card would also have to wait a few more days...

  So many days have been waited for, and it's not urgent at the moment, so let's be patient!

  Ling Jingyan didn't notice Ling Jingxuan's distraction and continued to enthusiastically introduce the grand mansion of the Ling family: "...... I heard from my mother that this mansion was originally the residence of a Minister of Rites. Later, the Minister of Rites retired and returned to his hometown, leaving the mansion empty. At that time, my father had just taken office in the Ministry of Works and happened to hear that this mansion was for sale, so he bought it with silver..."

  As for this silver, of course, it was sent by Ling's old lady from Dingzhou.

  This humble residence cost a full 30,000 taels of silver.

  When Ling Dajie was imprisoned for his crime, this mansion was sold at a low price of 15,000 taels to rescue him from the heavenly prison. The ancestral property of Dingzhou Ling's old house was also sold out. The vast Ling family suddenly presented a desolate scene like sunset in the west.

  Relying on the Lu family's efforts, they managed to save Old Man Ling. The Ling family also owed the Lu family a great favor and gratitude. In such circumstances, what qualifications and courage do they have to turn against the Lu family? How can they bear to offend the Lu family for her sake?

  Thinking of past events, Ling Jingxu sneered and curled up the corner of her lips.

  Ling Jingyan was completely unaware, and pulled Ling Jingxiao to turn the entire Ling family mansion upside down.

  Finally, it stopped in the garden of the Ling family.

  It's called a garden, but it's a bit of a stretch.

  A small artificial hill, next to which sits a delicate pavilion. Beside the pavilion is a small pond, in which some lotus flowers have been planted. It's just entered June and not yet reached the flowering season, so only a few scattered lotus leaves are floating on the surface of the pond.

  There are many flowers, grasses and trees in the garden, and a special place has been set aside. Many peonies have been planted.

  At this time, the peony is still in bloom, some of which are slightly late, and those that are in full bloom are particularly vibrant. From a distance, it's a dazzling sight.

  Ling Jingyan said proudly: "Ah Shu, don't look at this small peony garden, but there are dozens of varieties of peonies planted here! There are several trees that I personally planted, and I'll show you."

  Pointing one by one as he spoke.

  Ling Jingxu would not disappoint Ling Jingyan, and deliberately praised her for a while.

  Ling Jing was secretly pleased with herself.

  Ling Xiang, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Can Yantang also grow peonies? What a pity that my eyes can't see, otherwise I could have appreciated them properly."

  Ling Jingyan was about to smile.

  Ling Xiao politely asked another question: "By the way, Ah Jiao also grows peonies. I wonder how the peonies grown by Yan Tang sister compare to those of Ah Jiao?"

  Ling Jingyan: "......"

  Even if Ling Jingyan's face was thicker, she couldn't say "Of course my peony is better". She was choked for half a day and finally choked out a few words: "They are about the same."

  Several maids simultaneously lowered their heads.

  If the master saw them secretly laughing, they would definitely be scolded severely.

  Ling Jingxian suppressed a smile and helped Ling Jingyan out of the awkward situation: "The peonies that Eldest Sister Jingyan planted have large flowers, intricate colors, and are extremely fragrant. They are all rare and of high quality. Ah Xiao, once your eye disease is healed, you'll be able to see them for yourself."

  Recently, Ling Xiao has been hearing the phrase "eyes are better" and is filled with longing for future life, nodding obediently upon hearing it. He also stopped making a sound.

  Ling Jingyan secretly let out a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject: "We've been walking around for half a day, I'm getting a bit tired, let's head back and rest first!"

  ......

  In the following days, Ling Jingxu stayed at the Ling's house all along.

  Ling Xi was a student of Guozijian and had taken a long leave to return to Dingzhou. After returning to the capital, he immediately returned to Guozijian.

  Ling Dàyé, as a Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, held an inconspicuous official position but was very busy with affairs. He also had many social engagements on ordinary days and went out early and returned late every day. For several days in a row, he hadn't had dinner at home.

  The Ling family was left with a group of women and the blind Ling Xiao.

  Originally, there were only three people: Sun, Jiang and Ling Jingyan. It was inevitable that it would be a bit deserted. After the addition of Ling Jingxuan and his sister, it became much more lively.

  Ling Xiao was clever and obedient, Ling Jingxiao was intelligent and quick-witted. He also understood emotions and interests. It was easy for him to win over Sun's favor. His speech was also much more casual than before.

  "Great Aunt, when will my cousin return from his studies at the Imperial Academy?" Ling Jingxu asked with a smile.

  Sun said with a smile: "The Imperial Academy has three days off every month, and you can go home once every ten days."

  Jiang guessed Ling Jingxian's thoughts quickly and smiled, saying: "You want to ask when we will go to the Crown Prince's mansion to ask for an invitation card, right? Don't worry about this matter, your elder brother has been remembering it in his heart. He will definitely come back within these two days..."

  The words had barely left her lips when a maid came in to report: "Young Master has returned."

  Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives!

  Everyone burst out laughing.

  Sun heard that Ling Xi was back and was overjoyed, leading everyone to welcome him at the door.

  Ling Xi walked over with big strides, grinning: "No wonder I was in a hurry to come back today. You must all have been thinking of me in your hearts."

  As he spoke, he winked at Chiang Kai-shek.

  A surge of sweetness welled up in Jiang's heart, and a faint blush rose to her cheeks.

  Mrs. Sun was not that kind of evil mother-in-law who couldn't stand seeing her son and daughter-in-law getting along, she just pretended not to see the scene: "Don't stand outside anymore, come in quickly and talk."

  "Wait! I want to give Jingyu something first." Ling Xi suddenly smiled at Ling Jingyu, and took out a thin, golden name card from the hidden pocket of his sleeve.

  Ling Jing's heart skipped a beat, her voice trembling slightly: "Brother, this is..."

  "This is the name card of Prince Taishun."

  Ling Xi smiled and said, "I know you've been anxious these past few days, unable to see me and couldn't rush things. So this afternoon, I specially took a leave of absence and went to the Crown Prince's mansion to request an audience with the Crown Prince. As it happens, the Crown Prince had entered the palace today and wasn't at the mansion. I originally thought I would make a futile trip, but unexpectedly, the Crown Prince had already arranged for someone to prepare this invitation card. After I arrived, someone handed me this invitation card."

  Ling Jingxu's face was moved as she took over the thin invitation card, and she thanked him solemnly: "Thank you, Brother Tang."

  Ling Xi smiled casually and said, "Why be so polite with me? Quickly put away the invitation! In a few days it will be June 15th. Just take this invitation to Hui Chun Tang."

  Ling Jingxu clutched the name tag tightly in her hand.

  With this famous post, I can see Dr. Wei soon!
