Linglong

Chapter 14

Uncle Yu reckoned that Linglong had carefully looked at the badge behind him, so he returned the badge to the boy opposite, and said gently: "This kind of waist badge made of black iron is the first time I've seen it in my life."

The young man nodded, "That's right."

Uncle Yu is very self-restraining, the young man didn't mention the origin of this waist card, why did he ask Mr. Yu to look at it, he didn't ask, he just said leisurely: "This kind of waist card made of black iron looks like a bad idea. It's also interesting, but it's not an antique, so the Yu family won't collect it. My father loves antiques, Xia Shang Zhou, Spring and Autumn and Warring States, and after Qin and Han Dynasties, he is not very interested in collections."

Linglong rolled her eyes.The meaning of what my father said clearly was that not only he had never seen this waist card, but also the old master Yu and the second master Yu. If the third young master of the Wang family wanted to inquire about this matter, he might have to change to someone else.It seems that father and the Wang family are just casual acquaintances.

Uncle Yu entertained the young man politely, "Is San Shao's tea cold? How about another cup?"

The young man was supposed to get up and say goodbye, so he glanced at Linglong who was in a daze behind, and suddenly smiled, "Little Bell, please change to a cup of hot tea."

Linglong was sneaking and squatting on the ground at first, but she was startled when she heard the words, straightened up quickly, and waved her hands again and again, "No, no, I'm a stupid girl, and I'm only good as a rough envoy. Wiping the bookshelf is okay, changing tea is a delicate job." Son, I can't do it well!" He smiled naively, turned around and slipped back to the bookshelf, lowered his head and wiped it responsibly.

Uncle Yu smiled, "Exchanging tea has always been Tong'er's business, she doesn't care." Tong'er who had been standing with his hands down hurriedly came over to exchange tea, but the boy stopped him with his hand, "Thank you, Mr. Yu, for your kindness, and I will take my leave."

Uncle Yu didn't stay any longer, and said with a smile, "I'm so ashamed for the poor hospitality." He got up and sent the young man to the door of the room. Tong'er led the way, and the young man left charmingly.

Linglong threw down the old handkerchief and came out, stuck out her tongue and smiled at her father, went to the door and looked out, "Daddy, this person is a bit evil, don't you think so?" Uncle Yu walked slowly to her side, and together with her I glanced outside, "Long'er, the Wang family in Taiyuan is a well-known big business in the country, and the family has a big business. This young man is the direct wife of the Wang family. Although he is young, he has already taken charge of all the names of the Wang family in the thirteen northern provinces." , is no small matter."

"He really controls a lot of people." Linglong felt that she had guessed right.

Also, he still manages a lot of money.

There are people and money, the aura is different.air.

The father and daughter were talking, Linglong apologized embarrassedly, "Daddy, I was too reckless just now, I'm really sorry. What kind of friendship do you have with the Wang family? There is a stupid little sweeping girl in our family, Will it make your face dull?" Uncle Yu couldn't help smiling, stretched out his hand to touch his daughter's head, and said in a gentle voice: "My dear daughter, what's the matter? Daddy doesn't care about these things. The Yu family and the Wang family are just one side. acquaintance, no deep friendship."

Linglong nodded obediently.

Uncle Yu smiled, "You are only ten years old, and you are still young. Daddy would rather you be naughty."

Linglong grinned when she heard her father say that.

"However, Long'er, you didn't have to make such a big fight just now." Uncle Yu changed the subject, "You only need to knock twice on the bookshelf, and Dad will know that you want to read it. Daddy can purposely hold it high to meet the sunlight, so you can get a rough idea."

"This is a good idea." Linglong nodded repeatedly.

"Is there any other way for Long'er?" Uncle Yu asked with a smile.

Linglong tilted her head and thought for a while, "Yes. Isn't there a pair of copper-rimmed glasses in Dad's study?"

Uncle Yu raised the corners of his mouth, "That's right. If you want to see it, Dad can pretend to be nearsighted, 'Where are the glasses?' Then you pretended to be a little girl and walked over, handed the copper-framed glasses in the box to Dad, and stood by the side openly. look."

Linglong was happy, "Let's plan ahead, it will be easy to handle in the future."

The father and daughter thought of a few ways to pair secret signs and convey their hearts, and they were very happy.Linglong picked out two new essays, "These two are good, and the language is witty and humorous." Uncle Yu took them over and looked at them, "I'll tell you tonight if you're sick, and you'll get dizzy if you read too many books. Yes." Linglong had no choice but smiled and said, "Success, don't forget." Putting on the crane cloak, she bid farewell to her father and left the study.

The two little girls brought by Linglong were waiting in the wing room, and when they saw their young lady came out, they hurriedly followed her.

Ahead is a stone arch bridge.When she was about to get there, Linglong saw several men on the bridge, including the young man surnamed Wang, some servants, and one wearing a black cloak, who was clearly Uncle Yu Erye.It seemed that the young man surnamed Wang met Erye Yu halfway along the way, and they were exchanging polite greetings.

"He won't take out that waist card for uncle to see?" Linglong thought.

There's no way, she won't forget the badge that made her embarrassing.

Looking from a distance, the young man and Erye Yu were just exchanging polite greetings, and did not take out anything from their bodies to ask Erye Yu to help him identify it.Judging from the gestures of the two, it seemed that Second Master Yu wanted to invite him to sit in, but he was refusing.After a while, the two bid farewell.Erye Yu got off the bridge and turned to the right, as if he was going to Jinshizhai; the young man went on the same road, and he must have followed Tong'er out of the mansion.

Seeing them leaving, Linglong and the two little girls walked over slowly and arrived at the bridge.

A little girl suddenly said "Hey", "Miss San, look, what is this?" Linglong followed her gaze, and saw a black thing on the remaining snow by the bridge, it was the king The waist badge that the boy with the surname showed to Uncle Yu.

"This should be an important thing, right? He just lost it?" Linglong couldn't help wondering.

She ordered the little girl to pick it up, Linglong held it in her hand and looked at it, it was cool, a little heavy, ugly in appearance, there was nothing unusual about it.However, the pattern on this waist card at first glance looks like a sinister head, but when you look closely at the pattern, it looks like a complex font of gold inscriptions.

"Chen?" Linglong thought uncertainly.

Mrs. Yu has a hand-recorded booklet called "Old Stories".The four characters "Chen Nian Old Things" were written by the old man himself in bronze inscriptions. The shape of Chen characters is somewhat similar to the pattern of this waist card.

Bronze inscriptions belong to the big seal script, which is a character formed after the oracle bone inscriptions. It has a long history and a simple style, but the shape of the characters has changed.The same character may have different shapes on different bronze wares. For example, the character "Chen" has more than a dozen ways of writing in bronze inscriptions.So Linglong just felt similar.If Qiao Sirou hadn't heard about the rebellion and assassination by Chen Wangyu's party, perhaps Linglong would not have thought in this direction at all.

"If I can see it all, how could father not see it?" Linglong wondered.

Uncle Yu is not a master of bronze inscriptions, but he has been fascinated by his ears and eyes. He must have a much better understanding of bronze inscriptions than Linglong, there is no doubt about it.

He must have seen it, but not only did he not say a word, but he showed no trace of it.

"Is this the usual attitude of the Yu family? As long as it is related to the government, they will keep silent." Linglong thinks that the Yu family has always only produced celebrities and hermits, but not officials, and she is thoughtful.

Tong'er hurried back with the three of them.The little girl hurriedly reminded, "Miss San, a man is coming." Linglong raised her eyes and saw Tong'er in front, the boy surnamed Wang and his two servants behind, walking here.

Apparently, the teenager realized he had lost something.

"I'm not Miss San, I'm a girl named Sasao, called Little Bell, remember?" Linglong ordered in a low voice.

The little girl was very obedient, although she felt puzzled, she nodded obediently.

This group of people walked very quickly, and they came to the front in a short time.Tong'er accompanied her smiling face, "Little... small..." I wanted to call Miss, but remembered what happened just now, and dared not call; I wanted to call Little Bell, but I still didn't have the guts to call it, I didn't know what to call, so I simply didn't call, pointing The waist card in her hand, "This is left by the third young master, and it happened to be picked up by you."

Linglong threw the badge to Tong'er, "It's not fun, I'll give it to you." Turning her back, she looked at the scenery under the bridge.

It's winter now, and it's bleak, but there's really nothing to see.

The young man smiled lowly, "You won't change tea for me, but you can pick my things." There was a sense of ridicule in his tone.

Linglong was annoyed, she was pretending to be a silly girl anyway, not shrewd, she simply turned around and snatched the badge from Tong'er's hand and threw it on the ground, raising her foot to step on it, "Not only that, I can also step on things." The little servant exclaimed, "This is an important item!" He rushed forward desperately, rescued the waist card from Linglong's feet, and held it tightly in his hand.

This young boy has a pretty face and looks quite clever, but his behavior is full of stupidity.

After grabbing the waist badge, he presented it to the young man surnamed Wang like a treasure, "Third Young Master, Qingsong has fulfilled his mission."

The young man took it and nodded slightly, the boy named Qingsong seemed to have received some great praise, his face was radiant, and he stepped back with a smile on his face.

"This boy is very skilled." Linglong's heart moved.

Just now he snatched the waist card from Linglong's feet, not only because of his cleverness and courage, but also because he has practiced kung fu, so he is light and agile.It seems that the Wang family is indeed a well-established family, even the servants are masters.

The boy has great respect for the young man, this young man probably not only looks like a bluff, but also has some skills.Such a young man is holding a waist card with the word "Chen" printed in gold. Could it be that he is... investigating the remaining party of King Chen?But that is the court's business, what has it to do with him, he is not an official.unless……?Linglong thought of a possibility, as if she understood something.

That's right, this man must want to cross Baiwang Mountain safely, and tried every means to make friends with the bandits, so that the bandits would not oppose him.However, isn't the imperial court vigorously suppressing Chen Wang's remaining party?There are many fierce people in Chen Wangyu's party, and there are also many who fall into bandits. He wants to befriend the bandits and get the goods to pass Baiwang Mountain smoothly, but he is also worried that these gangsters are actually Chen Wangyu's party. If the thieves have contacts, wouldn't it be impossible to wash them off even if they jumped into the Yellow River?That's why he asked Uncle Yu if he had seen this badge.
