Need for money

As a warrior, Aunt Yu has an instinctive and keen intuition for bloody and murderous spirits. This intuition can sound the alarm in her heart before the crisis comes, and it is a unique way for warriors to save their lives.

The sharpness of its intuition is directly proportional to each person's cultivation.

Lin Jingzhi didn't notice Aunt Yu's abnormality, so he raised his legs and continued to walk towards the hall. At this time, Aunt Yu took another small step back, still half a step behind the man beside him as before. At that time, she already felt that these guards were only instinctively murderous, and they were not trying to harm Lin Jingzhi.

Stepping into the hall, Lin Jingzhi saw a young man sitting on the right side of the hall. This man was dressed in a black brocade robe, which made his fair skin more dazzling. He was tall and handsome. Isn't it Mr. Zheng who was saved by Tang Yuxiang on the day he went out of the city to offer incense?

There was a person standing behind the young man, this person Lin Jingzhi also knew, it was the guard who spoke rudely to him that day.

"Mr. Zheng came to visit. I'm too far away to welcome you. I'm being rude." After Lin Jingzhi finished speaking, he let go of Aunt Yu's little hand that was supporting him, and gave a polite salute to Mr. Zheng, but he didn't want to bend down. The injury on the back was pulled, and the figure paused.

Zheng Jianqiu had been waiting impatiently in the lobby, but when he saw Lin Jingzhi finally came, he stood up politely, but before he could say a polite word, Xu Yong, who was standing behind him, interrupted in advance: " Mr. Lin, as the young master of my family, being able to come to the Lin mansion as a guest is already giving the Lin family great face, how could you leave my son in the hall for nearly half an hour!"

Zheng Jianqiu frowned when he heard this, and looked Lin Jingzhi up and down, but didn't speak, so that others could not understand what was going on in his heart.

It is indeed rude to keep the guests waiting, but Lin Jingzhi was not happy for a while when he was taught a lesson by a servant of the other party. However, Mr. Zheng in front of him does have a lot of background, and he still wanted to build a good relationship with him as much as possible, against Tian Ji and others As for people, it's not easy to confront each other when they meet, so they cupped their hands again and said: "I was rude first, please take care of Mr. Zheng."

Seeing that Lin Jingzhi didn't have the same knowledge as Xu Yong, Zheng Jianqiu's face turned, and he was already full of smiles. He can stretch and bend, so he is a real man. If the young Patriarch of the Lin family is really as knowledgeable as his servants, he doesn't deserve his attention. , "Young Master Lin, you don't have to be so polite, I just waited for a while."

After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands to Lin Jingzhi and returned a salute.

I have to say that this Zheng Jianqiu looks really good. Even if Lin Jingzhi is a man, he still feels that the smile on that handsome face is like a warm sunshine, making people feel at ease. For some reason, a sudden flash in his brain The scene where Tang Yuxiang didn't listen to his orders the other day in order to treat this person, made her heart feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

After pulling himself together, Lin Jingzhi exchanged some polite greetings, then walked to the main seat and sat down.

Seeing that the master was coming, the big steward walked up to Lin Jingzhi and said something, then turned and retreated, while the maid who was standing beside her was holding a teapot, and quickly ran forward to refill the master with a cup of warm tea, so that she could serve as an errand in the hall. The servants are all quick-witted, and this girl is about fourteen or fifteen years old, and she is quite handsome.

"Mr. Lin, in fact, I came to thank you in person for this visit. Last time, thanks to your family's generous help, I was able to save my next life. Today, Mr. Zheng brought some gadgets. Please don't hesitate to accept Mr. Lin." Seeing that Lin Jingzhi had settled down, Zheng Jianqiu stood up again from his seat and bowed deeply to show his sincerity.

Seeing this, Lin Jingzhi quickly stood up and returned the salute, but he didn't think too much, and pulled the wound on his back. Although he tried not to snort, his face was already pale with pain, his body hurt, he naturally No longer in the mood to shirk courtesy, he replied:

"Since that's the case, if I don't accept it, I'll look petty." After finishing speaking, he nodded to the two male servants standing at the door.

The scene of Lin Jingzhi shaking and almost falling fell into Zheng Jianqiu's eyes, and a trace of anger flashed unconsciously in his eyes. It seems that before he came to Lin's residence, the information he found was correct. After more than three years, her body was extremely weak, and she might die one day, but... it's really a pity for that fairy-like Miss Tang.

Inadvertently, a pretty face that was all over the city and country reappeared in his mind.

The guards of the Zheng family standing outside the hall had already brought in several large boxes, wrapped with red cloth, although they were not very heavy, but the thank you gifts from General Xuanwei's mansion were naturally expensive, so they waited aside The servant of the Lin family saw the master nodding and motioned to put it away, so he stepped forward in twos and threes, and carried the gift of thanks out of the hall.

Seeing that Lin Jingzhi's complexion was pale and he was seriously ill, Xu Yong complained on behalf of the fairy he saw that day, so he didn't even say hello to his master, he took a step forward and said, "Master Lin, my master came to your house to express his gratitude today. , I just want to say thank you to Second Grandma Lin in person, and please ask Second Grandma Lin to come to the hall, so don't wait another half an hour."

Relying on his status as the master of his family, Xu Yong's tone was quite condescending.

Frowning slightly, Lin Jingzhi sat on the chair, picked up the teacup, put it to his mouth and blew gently, but he didn't drink it. He didn't understand why Xu Yong would let a servant act recklessly in the hall. Temptation, or ulterior motives?

Or maybe this Mr. Zheng was originally an idiot second-generation ancestor, so he brought along a dog slave who has no brains, no sense of proportion, and only knows how to bully others?

After thinking for a while, Lin Jingzhi regretted that he didn't find someone to inquire about this Mr. Zheng's character and character two days ago. However, although he didn't want Tang Yuxiang to meet this handsome Mr. Zheng for a second time, for the sake of the overall situation, he also I can only take a step back,

"Well, I understand Mr. Zheng's intentions. Someone, go to the backyard and find Second Mistress, and tell Mr. Zheng that she rescued last time. He came to the mansion today to express his thanks."

A maid at the door responded and ran out quickly.

"Your Majesty sees Mr. Zheng's complexion is already very good. I think the poison on his body has been completely cured?" If you want to make friends, you have to care about others, but Lin Jingzhi's words made Mr. Zheng somewhat depressed, even though he was poisoned. , he was fortunate enough to meet a beautiful woman who looked like a fairy while he was half unconscious.

But at that time, his embarrassed image also fell into the eyes of the beauty's husband-in-law, isn't it very useless!

Forced to smile, Zheng Jianqiu replied: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your concern. My health is already well, but from my point of view, Mr. Lin's body seems to be a bit thin."

After all, Zheng Jianqiu put on a look of concern on purpose, so that the other party had to answer this question.

Hearing this sentence, Lin Jingzhi regretted for a while, he didn't practice martial arts early, he didn't practice martial arts at night, why did he run over to be tortured today, this is good, even the guests who came to thank him can see that he is weak, it's just this Does Mr. Zheng really care about himself, or does he have other intentions?

He couldn't forget Tian Ji and Wang Meng. It was because he vomited blood that he secretly planned to take advantage of the Lin family's property. He couldn't afford to have a heartless white-eyed wolf beside him if he didn't find a partner.

But because he was learning martial arts, he was beaten with a branch by his own woman like an apprentice. He was too embarrassed to say such a shameful thing, "Well, Mr. Zheng, to be honest, my parents died of illness three years ago , the mind was traumatized, and the bones of the body became thinner and thinner. I have been ill for more than three years, and half a month ago, I couldn't even lay down the ground."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Zheng Jianqiu asked pretending to be puzzled. In fact, he had asked someone to find out the information, but the rumors were rumors after all. Hearing Lin Jingzhi's recognition in person was another one. thing.

At the same time, it's not worth it for him to replace the second mistress of the Lin family!

Could it be that heaven is jealous of beauty?Zheng Jianqiu's heart suddenly felt sour, but before he could lament how unlucky the confidante has been since ancient times, Lin Jingzhi's tone changed,

"Yes, this is absolutely true, but luckily, I should not die, and married a doctor who is a master of alchemy. Only then did I get rid of many years of chronic illnesses, and my health gradually recovered. Haha, in fact, I and Mr. Zheng are also By fate, it was precisely because I was in good health that day that I went to offer incense outside the city to fulfill my vows, that I happened to meet Mr. Zheng halfway up the mountain."

Hearing this, Zheng Jianqiu's face was slightly ugly, and he replied with a smirk: "It turned out to be such a thing, it seems that I really have a destiny with Mr. Lin, if there is a chance in the future, we should find a restaurant , to make good contact and emotional contact."

This sentence just followed Lin Jingzhi's wish, he nodded repeatedly and said: "What Mr. Zheng said is, how about we go to Qianlixiang's private room tomorrow?"

Hearing Lin Jingzhi say that his health was getting better gradually, for some reason, Zheng Jianqiu was not relieved that the fate of the fairy-like woman was no longer rough, but felt empty in his heart.

As for Lin Jingzhi's eagerness at this time, he didn't think much about it. After all, with his status and status, there were too many people who wanted to curry favor with him, so he said yes lightly.

The two chatted for a while, but Lin Jingzhi still couldn't figure out what Zheng Jianqiu was like. At this time, the little girl who was looking for Tang Yuxiang ran in panting, knelt on the ground and said, "Second Lord, the servants have searched almost all the backyard, and they are also looking for Tang Yuxiang. No two girls were found."

Lin Jingzhi was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized how he forgot about agreeing to Tang Yuxiang's going out to go shopping in the street last night. He patted his forehead annoyed, and he quickly stood up and apologized: "Mr. Zheng, I was negligent. Today Jiannei is not in the mansion, she went out for shopping early in the morning, got up early today, and dealt with a lot of business, accidentally forgot about it."

Hearing Lin Jingzhi's explanation, Mr. Zheng felt uncomfortable, but at the same time felt a little bit lost, while Xu Yong, who was standing behind him, changed his expression drastically. His master came to the Lin Manor to thank him early this morning, which was enough for the Lin family. , but this Lin Jingzhi didn't know good from bad, he kept his master in the hall for half an hour, and now the master wanted to see that skilled goddess doctor, and this person was pushing back and forth. Put it in your eyes?

"Mr. Lin, my master thinks highly of you, so he personally came to thank you. How dare you play tricks again and again? If you don't give an explanation today, eh!"

After all, Xu Yong pressed the knife with both hands, and suddenly took a big step forward!
