The lucky little prince's doting wife

Chapter 136 Mr. Lin’s mood is hard to calm down
Father Lin changed his clothes, went out and hurried to the imperial palace.There is a rule in the imperial palace that once the palace door is closed at night, it will not be opened again. But if the emperor wants to see someone and opens the palace door, who can ask the emperor to reason?

The eldest young master and the second young master sent Father Lin off. At this time, Princess Le'an had gone to bed, and the eldest young master did not need to pay his respects to his mother.The two brothers walked back together, and then stood in the corridor, looking at the large forsythia in bloom outside the corridor.

Forsythia is a flower that many people confuse with jasmine. The two flower shapes are similar, but in fact jasmine has six petals, while forsythia has only four petals.

Golden flowers bloomed on the tree, and the fragrance of the flowers was faint, sweet and slightly bitter, floating in the air.

"It's time to prune the flower branches," the eldest son suddenly said after looking at the flowers for a while.

The second young master was a little dumbfounded and said, "Brother, please stop worrying about the gardener."

The eldest son smiled and said, "Then what do I want to say?"

The second young master was silent for a moment. At this time, the boys were all standing far away. The second young master put his hands behind his back and said in a low voice: "It depends on what father wants. The slave market is the last battle. Regardless of victory or defeat, Zhou and Wen will The matter must be settled after today."

It's already past midnight, but isn't it today?

Eldest Young Master: "Yes."

Second Young Master: "I prepared 10 taels of silver. I originally thought it would be enough for anything, but I didn't expect that the Wei family had prepared 30 taels."

Eldest Young Master: "It's still a bank note issued by Xinglong Bank."

Second Young Master: "Father sent Yan Yang to sue the officials. I think this will only buy you some time at most. The banknotes look the same. How can we prove that what Wei Yu has is Yan Yang's concubine who stole it for him?" ?Even if the brother and sister confess, Wei Yu still has a hundred theories to prove that we instigated the brother and sister to falsely accuse him, right?"

The eldest young master nodded and said to the second young master: "Go back to your room and rest."

The second young master watched his brother leave and then chased him and said, "Even if the slave market trade is stopped, those four children will always be dragged to the slave market."

All methods can only delay it for a while.

The eldest son said: "I know."

Second Young Master: "Brother, you have tried your best."

The eldest son's footsteps stopped again.

Second Young Master: "Uncle He Shishu and the others came over in the evening. I heard what they wanted to say. They all wanted to give up on these four children because there was no surefire way to save them."

The eldest son turned to look at the second son, with an expression of incomprehensible joy and sorrow, and said, "Before Wen Dong died, he asked me if the four children could live."

The second young master was stunned and said, "How did you reply to him?"

Eldest Young Master: "I said I would try my best."

The second young master bit his lip, took a breath, and said, "Is he disappointed?"

The eldest son said softly: "He will never die with his eyes in peace."

The second young master was speechless.

Eldest Young Master: "I have known my father's thoughts from the beginning, but my father's efforts are different from my efforts. My father tries his best, but I force myself."

Second Young Master: "Can you succeed if you force yourself to do so?"

The eldest young master shook his head and said to the second young master: "You have also seen that I am about to fail."

The second young master hesitated. If he could no longer see that his brother was in a bad mood, or even depressed, then his head would have been pinched by the door. "Then you still..." The second young master hesitated to speak.

The eldest son: "Father is used to seeing a lot of things, so he knows how to do his best, but I still want to give it a try. Those four are chess pieces, but after all, they are just four children. Their lives are nothing but lives."

The second young master was silent for a while, and then said, "I'll have someone deliver the banknote to you later."

The eldest young master looked at the second young master, smiled, and said, "Okay."

Second Young Master: "There are still 5 taels of cash left in the house to prepare for the fourth brother's wedding. Do you want to take them to the slave market too?"

Eldest Young Master: "Okay."

Second Young Master: "The fourth child's wedding is still more than a month away. I will raise the money again."

The eldest young master thanked the second young master and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Yan Yi."

When the second young master heard the eldest young master thanking him, he suddenly became anxious and said, "Brother, you don't have to be like this. If you feel unhappy, just say it."

We are brothers. If you are unhappy, you don't have to pretend to be calm in front of my younger brother.

The eldest son shook his head, "I'm not unhappy, I'm just a little resentful."

The second young master wanted to persuade his brother, but his brother was like this and it was really hard to persuade him.

Mr. Lin sighed quietly, then looked at the clusters of forsythia flowers outside the corridor, and said in a low voice: "My teacher once said to me that those in higher positions should regard those in lower positions as human beings, and those in lower positions should regard themselves as human beings." As a person.”

The second young master raised his eyebrows.

The eldest son said: "I didn't take these words seriously before. How can there be powerful people in the world who don't treat others as human beings, and humble people who don't treat themselves as human beings? But now I know that what the teacher said is not wrong."

Mr. Lin's teacher was the original bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, the elder of the pavilion Shen Ningshu, and even his initial fiancée was also a young lady of the Shen family.As a result, Mr. Shen Ge was defeated at the hands of Chief Minister Wei, and a fraud case in the imperial examination resulted in the entire Shen family being beheaded.

Not only the eldest master Lin, but also the second master Lin still remember the scene of the Shen family's heads rolling all over the floor.The babies of the Shen family who were not yet one month old were put on wooden stakes and beheaded.

Mr. Shen Ge was such a noble person, full of knowledge, but his head was soaked in bloody mud, worse than a pig or a dog.

Second Young Master Lin muttered: "I remember Mr. Shen Ge's appearance, and he even praised me."

Mr. Lin smiled again.

The second young master suddenly understood where his brother's stubbornness came from when it came to matters concerning the four children of the Zhou and Wen families. When he was 14 years old, his eldest brother could only watch helplessly as his mentor and his whole family were beheaded, and after watching his childhood sweetheart and fiancée hang herself from a beam, he still could not get rid of the body that was insulted by the soldiers. His eldest brother could not do anything.At the age of [-], his eldest brother faced four children who had fallen victim to politics. Even though he knew there was no chance of winning, he still wanted to give it another try.

I was an incompetent little loser when I was 14, and now I am 30 years old. Do I still want to be a big loser?
The eldest son: "General Zhou and General Wen, no one regards them as human beings. After accepting their fate, they no longer regard themselves as human beings."

The second young master took a deep breath, "The Wei family can steal banknotes from Xinglong Bank, but who knows what else they have done in private? Since we can't get rid of these mad dogs, no one can have an easy life. This time I stand with the eldest brother , you have to give it a try and try again.”

Now that he accepts his fate and regards those four children as trouble, then there is really no way for these four children to survive.

"Thank you," the eldest son thanked in a low voice.

The second young master raised his hand to gently brush away the forsythia flowers that fell on his brother's clothes, and said, "Why are you and I so polite? I hope those four children can survive this disaster, I sincerely say."

Maybe one day, their brothers will be like their father, who have seen through all the hardships, experienced ups and downs, and accepted all the good and bad in this world, but they can't do that yet.If your blood is not cold yet, don't force yourself to be calm.
