Lin Jiabiyu

Lin Chengrui was lost in thought when the little girl who was waiting outside tiptoed into the house, glanced at Grandma Qian who was asleep and replied in a low voice: "Master, Master Hou has sent someone over, please go to the study."

Lin Chengrui hurriedly handed the fan in his hand to the little girl, put his fingers to his mouth and softly hissed, and walked out of the room lightly.

The little girl took the fan and was about to go forward to fan Grandma Qian, but Grandma Qian opened her eyes and waved her back.

"No need. Where's Nanny Zhao?"

"Respond to Mrs. Zhao, Madam Zhao was called away just now, and she hasn't come back yet." The little girl answered neatly, while stepping forward to carefully support Mrs. Qian's arm.

"When did Shizi come back? How long have you been in the house?"

"Master Shizi came to see grandma as soon as he came back, and he came in not long ago. Grandma was asleep, so Master Shizi didn't let grandma be disturbed." The little girl helped Grandma Qian stand up and walked slowly around the room, her voice was clear and tinkling. When it is like pearls and jade.

Grandma Qian stopped in her tracks, and glanced lightly at the young girl's pretty face, remembering what Mother Zhao said earlier about arranging room for Lin Chengrui, she sneered in her heart, but couldn't stop feeling sour and unwilling, mocking herself He snorted lightly, then took a deep breath, slowly clenched his hands and then loosened them, looking at the bright sunlight outside, he smiled firmly.The son of the world has a good temper, and he misses her. She is still young, and she has not yet reached the age of senility—even if she is really senile, her husband and her yard cannot allow others to criticize her, and neither can the madam!

In the study at the back of the main courtyard.Lin Zhiyuan, Marquis of Chong'an, stood in front of the desk with his hands behind his back, frowning tightly, staring at a copybook on the table with complicated eyes.

"Father." Lin Chengrui stopped at the door of the study, and gently knocked on the door.

Lin Zhiyuan accepted the written post on the table, nodded towards Lin Chengrui, and signaled Lin Chengrui to enter the room.

"Where did you go early in the morning?"

"Third Brother Liu from Uncle Chengyi's Mansion went to Lanyue Tower to watch the Wenhui for a while." Lin Chengrui replied politely, "Afterwards, they drank together, so I used an excuse to hide back."

Lin Zhiyuan hummed with a straight face, pondered for a moment before opening his mouth.His face was stern, but there was no anger in his voice.

"How many books have you read? Why are you messing around like those prodigal sons? You can't bear to be talked about. What are you doing with those bastards? Don't go out these days! Just stay at home and study behind closed doors. When will you finish reading the books in your third uncle's room, and when will you go out to see the Laoshizi Wenhui again!"

Listening to Lin Zhiyuan's lecture, Lin Chengrui heaved a long sigh of relief.The brows were loosened, and the whole person became much lighter, and hurriedly nodded in response.

Lin Zhiyuan frowned and gave Lin Chengrui a serious look, then laughed at himself helplessly, and waved Lin Chengrui out.

That poster... Lin Zhiyuan rubbed his forehead and sighed.He is old, and his children and grandchildren are useless.Ashamed of my ancestors, my body is no longer able to withstand the toss when I was young.It's hot.There are many illnesses here, and it looks like I will have to report for sick leave tomorrow.

In the palace of the Prince of Xining, the King of Xining swayed his old fan and leaned leisurely on the rattan chair in the study, listening to the middle-aged man standing upright in front of him slowly replying.

"...According to the prince's order, the letter was sent out. Lu Ping's end was sent by the fourth person himself. The port on the Pingliang Mansion side also started to move. The Xu family worked carefully. The spies of the court have not received the letter yet. .In addition, Zhu Qi met twice with Liao, the shopkeeper under the Second Young Madam who was in charge of the transfer of goods from the north to the south. One time was in Lanyue Building, and the other time... was near Cishou Temple."

The middle-aged man softened his face when he said this, and looked at King Xining with a smile and said with emotion: "I think the second young lady has talked to Li Daochang. The second young lady is young, so she can see things far away..."

"That bastard mentioned it to me." King Xining snorted with a straight face, but the smile gradually appeared in his eyes, looking at the scorching sun outside, without thinking He nodded again and sighed as if talking to himself: "That girl is good, and the Lin family is also good."

The middle-aged man understood, nodded and laughed.

At the same time, at Uncle Chengyi's residence, Uncle Chengyi Liu Huaijin and his second brother Liu Huaishen were also discussing matters with the door behind closed doors in the study. The yard was quiet, only the rustling of leaves could be heard.

In the room, only Liu Huaijin and Liu Huaishen were sitting opposite each other. Liu Huaijin twirled his beard, with an expression of joy and anger on his face, and it took a long time before he hummed softly and opened his mouth.

"The old man of the Sun family sent someone to tell him that he is old and wants to enjoy life in peace."

Liu Huaishen's hand holding the teacup paused for a moment, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he took a sip of hot tea as if nothing had happened, and said with a soft smile, "Mr. Sun can see it openly. It's really clean to avoid it now. Those juniors of the Sun family, heh... It is a blessing to be able to keep their achievements. Now I'm telling you... Is Mr. Sun asking for elder brother's recommendation? This old fox is really good at figuring out! Elder brother has decided who to recommend?"

Liu Huaijin pulled his beard and glared at Liu Huaishen, his face gradually darkened, he frowned and let out a sigh of relief slowly, a sarcasm flashed across his eyes.

"Who can I recommend? The members of our Liu family haven't studied for a few years, so we can't manage the Imperial Academy. Mr. Sun has been serving the Imperial Academy for so many years and is also a cabinet scholar. There must be many candidates in his stomach. , it’s not our turn to point fingers.”

Liu Huaijin snorted coldly when he said this, and the sneer flashed in his eyes.

Liu Huaishen raised his eyebrows, looked down at the celadon-glazed white porcelain teacup in his hand, as if he saw a god, it took a long time to raise his head and smiled softly: "Chen Laosan has been in the Imperial Academy for many years, in those literati subgroups He also has a bit of fame, and it is more than enough to be a Guozijian offering wine. As for the cabinet bachelor, the Chen family has several candidates..."

"That's the Chen family's business!" Liu Huaijin stared at Liu Huaishen with a serious look, and said sharply, "Don't meddle in this matter!"

Liu Huaishen shrugged his shoulders, and the smile spread from the corners of his brows. Seeing the anger gathering in his elder brother's eyes, he quickly suppressed his smile, sat up straight, nodded his head and coughed, "Brother still thinks I'm a three-year-old kid who doesn't know what to do? You Don't worry, I won't say a word, even if the Holy Majesty asks. I don't bother to meddle in the Chen family's affairs!"

Liu Huaishen stared at Liu Huaijin's face, hesitated for a moment, then smiled tentatively, "Let me tell you, let the Liu family not meddle in the affairs of the court, and simply stay away, so as not to attract flies."

Seeing that Liu Huaijin's face was tense, but she just glanced over lightly, did not object, but also agreed, her eyes were not happy, making people unable to see emotion.

The smile on Liu Huaishen's face deepened, and he said with a deliberate smile: "I've lived in this capital city for most of my life, and I'm tired of looking at it, but I really want to look elsewhere. I heard my younger sister say that the scenery in the south is especially good, Spring flowers and autumn moon, beautiful scenery everywhere. Jiangnan is also a land of outstanding people, with a large number of talented people, which is really yearning. Hehe, even... the outside of the Great Wall is also good, the place is vast, I heard that standing outside the Great Wall and blowing the wind can give birth to a sense of pride Zhilai...hehe...it's different from the capital anyway, so it's good to go out for a walk."

Liu Huaishen muttered to himself, as if he didn't see the seriousness and darkness in Liu Huaijin's eyes at all.

"The Liu family has lived in the capital for generations! The roots of the Liu family are here!" Liu Huaijin stared at Liu Huaishen with deep eyes, and said every word, but there was a hint of helplessness in her tone.

Liu Huaishen glanced at Liu Huaijin with a dry smile, stopped talking, hehe laughed twice, took a sip from the tea cup, and refilled the cup for Liu Huaijin with a sneer.

Liu Huaijin stared straight at Liu Huaishen with stern eyes, shook her head helplessly and sighed after a while, her tone was desolate and desolate, as if she had aged ten years in an instant.

"It's not yet time... The Liu family, we can't be defeated by you and me!"

The smile on Liu Huaishen's face stagnated, then gradually faded away, his eyes sank slightly, he stared at the teacup in his hand, and sighed slowly.

"Brother, do you still remember what mother said?" Liu Huaijin's tone was very light, as if feeling emotional and talking to himself, with a nostalgic smile hidden in the corner of his mouth. "My mother always said that the Wan girl looks like my father. Although she is a girl, she has the same resourcefulness and courage as a man. It's rare that Lu Er actually took her to the north, and the king of Xining didn't object."

"Isn't her surname Liu?" Liu Huaijin's tense face gradually relaxed, and she sighed slightly and smiled bitterly, "If she is the daughter of my Liu family..."

Liu Huaishen looked at the moving expression on Liu Huaijin's face, his thoughts moved slightly, and he raised his eyebrows with a smile.

"Brother is confused! Our Liu family doesn't have a daughter, and that girl is very cute, so I'll treat her as my own daughter, isn't the eldest brother?"

Seeing that Liu Huaijin opened his mouth but didn't speak, Liu Huaishen felt a little better, and continued to smile: "That girl was taught by her mother hand in hand, after all, she spends more time in our house than in Lin's house. longer. Besides—”

Liu Huaijin paused, put down her teacup and coughed: "The descendants of the Lin family have no one..."

"We have to wait a little longer. The north is no better than the south. The Liu family can't take risks." Liu Huaishen pulled his beard and sighed while frowning, but his tone was unquestionable.

Seeing this, Liu Huaishen didn't say any more, he drank the remaining tea at the bottom of the cup, smiled and turned around with his hands behind his back.

Early the next morning, the old man of the Sun family handed over the letter of resignation to the imperial court, and cried to Emperor Cheng Ming in the court hall, from the time when the first emperor was in the world, to the enthronement of Emperor Cheng Ming, and to the present day. .He kept on talking about it for most of the morning, and the words made all the old officials cry, and then Grandpa Sun wiped his face with his sleeve, and kowtowed to Emperor Cheng Ming tremblingly.

Emperor Cheng Ming frowned, and listened to Mr. Sun's chanting with a gloomy expression for a long while, then said in a cold voice to Su Wen, the chief internal servant who was standing by, "Don't help Mr. Sun Ge up yet!"

Su Wen hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly ran over to persuade Mr. Sun to help him up.

"Mr. Sun Ge has worked hard for the court all his life. I am very grateful." Emperor Cheng Ming had a smile on his face, but his eyes were sinister. Seeing Mr. Sun, he smiled and waved his hand, promising Mr. Sun to sue him. booklet. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
