Linglong

Chapter 78

"Uncle, take me with you." Linglong looked at the faces of Guan Shi, Yu Wenhui and the others, and begged in a low voice.

Yu Erye understood, "That's natural."

"Xiao Linglong, your grandfather just wrote a piece of "Ji Gu Lu", and it needs careful people to copy it." Yu Erye said with a smile.

"I'll copy it!" Linglong hurriedly raised her hand.

Second Master Yu smiled, "Little Linglong is so diligent and filial, your grandfather must be happy. Come, go to Jinshizhai with uncle." Linglong agreed loudly, said goodbye to Guan Shi, Yu Wenhui and others, and followed Second Master Yu to leave.

"Linglong, stay here. Auntie has something to tell you." Yu Wenhui said angrily.

"Little sister, is this not good? Dad is still waiting." Second Master Yu looked at his younger sister's face, so he quickly pulled Linglong over and hid him behind him, "Little Linglong writes delicately and is careful. Dad likes it the most. Younger sister, the second brother is leaving first, I can't keep Dad waiting for too long!"

"Yes, grandpa can't be kept waiting." Linglong smiled mischievously.

Seeing his younger sister's eyebrows raised, Second Master Yu wanted to explain a few more words, Linglong tugged at him, "Uncle, grandfather is looking forward to seeing us, let's go." Second Master Yu chuckled, "Little sister, second brother go first Alright, if we have something to say, let's talk about it another day, another day." Holding Linglong's little hand, she walked out of the house in three steps.

"Second brother, come back! Linglong, don't leave!" Yu Wenhui's distraught voice came from behind, as well as Guan Shi and Jing Xi's gentle voices of persuasion.Linglong stuck out her tongue, "Auntie is so powerful." Second Master Yu looked back fearfully, "Isn't your aunt powerful? Little Linglong, she is in front of uncle just like you are in front of Mianzhi. If you start a fight, Mianzhi is also afraid of you."

"My aunt and I are very different. I am more reasonable than her, and I am also cuter than her!" Linglong walked briskly, but she couldn't forget to brag, "Also, uncle, if I start a fight, not only my second brother will be afraid of me, The eldest brother is also very guilty. But, my father is not afraid of my aunt, and can control her."

Second Master Yu wiped his forehead with his hand, "Little Linglong, you are right."

Uncle Yu is also pampering Yu Wenhui, his younger sister, but he is not afraid of her, he can persuade others with reason and restrain her when things happen.Erye Yu couldn't do it anymore, Yu Wenhui raised his eyebrows, and he wanted to coax her with a piece of candy and beg her to stop making trouble, just like when he was a child.

"Uncle, why don't you have the prestige of being an older brother?" Linglong wondered.

Erye Yu was embarrassed, "I am not more than two years older than her, and she has never been afraid of me since she was a child."

Linglong smiled mischievously, "So that's how it is."

Yu Wenhui probably won't be able to leave for a while, Linglong doesn't want to go back and face her - after all, it's an elder, it's impossible to go against her obviously, it's too much brainpower to fight wits - so she really went with her uncle Jinshizhai.

Old Master Yu was wearing his short-sighted glasses to observe a jade ring carefully. When he saw Linglong, he smiled, "This can't be a princess, right?" Linglong walked up to him and sat down, giggling, "The hairpin you bought for antiques has a treasure map in it, so what else is impossible?" Old Master Yu couldn't help smiling.

"Just now an old friend came to the door and praised His Royal Highness King Zhou." He said leisurely.

"That's not how you sell things." Linglong stretched out her small hand and patted the table, "Extremely stupid!"

Wang Xiaosan, Wang Xiaosan, this is a very poor salesmanship, too blunt and without connotation.Facts have proved that it is too ineffective!
"How do you say that?" Old Master Yu asked with a smile.

Erye Yu pulled up a chair and sat next to Linglong, looking at her with great interest, ready to listen to her high-spirited talk.

"You old friend has no idea what the Yu family cares about!" Linglong was heartbroken.

How can it be possible to make a deal without even researching the customer's needs clearly?The old man Yu neither pursues power nor climbs the dragon and the phoenix, so if you ask him about dignity or not, it's no wonder he cares about you.

"Then what should people do?" Mrs. Yu and Mr. Yu were very curious.

Xiao Linglong, you know a lot.Then tell me, what can someone say to impress grandpa?

Linglong turned her big eyes, "The visitor should ask, 'Mr. Yu, do you know that His Royal Highness Zhou Wang in this city has anything to do with the Zhou Wu King who destroyed the Shang Dynasty?' Grandpa Custodian's eyes lit up. .”

"What's the relationship?" Old Master Yu asked with great interest.

Second Master Yu also kept an eye on Linglong.

Linglong giggled, "Although there is no deep connection, the titles all have the word Zhou and the word Wang."

"Naughty." Only then did Old Master Yu realize that Linglong was joking, so he deliberately put on a straight face.

"It's time to hit." Second Master Yu picked up the ruler on the table and waved it at Linglong.

Uncle Yu appeared at the door with a gentle smile on his face.

"Daddy!" Seeing him, Linglong happily stood up and walked in front of him.

"Daddy just went to entertain a servant." Uncle Yu smiled and looked at Linglong, with a trace of inquiry in his eyes, "The servant has been rambunctious for a long time, and he just said that this time is such a rare opportunity to choose a concubine for the kings, so don't miss it."

"So stupid." Linglong snorted, "I really don't understand your thoughts, Daddy. In front of you, he should say, 'Ling Ai is truly unprecedented, if Ling Ai signs up for the election, the rest of the girls You don’t need to waste your time and make a trip in vain.’ It’s said that the housekeeper is very winky and talkative, it seems to be a waste of reputation. He didn’t even know how to flatter his daughter in front of his father, so he came to grandma’s house stupidly.”

"Maybe it's not the servant who is stupid, but the person who sent the servant is stupid." Uncle Yu said slowly.

"Perhaps, perhaps." Linglong laughed twice.

Old Master Yu didn't care, "Don't worry about these people. Xiao Linglong, come here and copy this article for grandpa. You have to copy this article quickly, you know? Grandpa's writing is very scribbled, there must be a lot of words you don't know, you have to keep asking... ..."

"Yes, you have to copy it quickly." Second Master Yu agreed, "Your grandfather's memory is getting worse and worse. If you wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to ask, maybe he won't recognize it himself."

Linglong covered her mouth with a smile.

Old Mrs. Yu glared at his youngest son several times, causing him to nod and bow his head with a smile on his face, not daring to speak nonsense anymore.

Linglong copied his new masterpiece for her grandfather, and was brought to his study by Uncle Yu.

"Daughter, tell dad the truth, what happened the day you and Mrs. Chang went to Zhou Palace?" Uncle Yu asked in a deep voice.

He has always been gentle and gentle, but at this moment his eyes are sad, suspicious, and there is also a vague, ready-to-express grief and anger.

Dad, where do you want to go?Linglong was sweating.

She looked around with a dry smile, pointed to the table and chairs in front of the bookshelf, "Daddy, do you remember that I lost someone here once?"

Uncle Yu thought about it for a while, "I remember. You once pushed down the bookshelf and claimed to be the little bell on the sweeper. Daughter, there is nothing shameful about it. Daddy said it earlier, so you don't have to take it to heart."

Linglong reached out and knocked down the table, then stretched out her foot and kicked the leg of the chair, expressing her resentment, "Father, he is pretending to be the Saburo of the Wang family, and he pretends to be, but in fact his surname is not Wang, his surname is Zhou... …No, no, he is not surnamed Zhou either, he is the same as Emperor Taizu and His Majesty the Emperor, and his title is King Zhou..."

Uncle Yu turned pale.

He slowly sat down on the chair and murmured, "So that's the case. He said that a batch of important goods passed Baiwang Mountain. In fact, His Majesty the Emperor was assassinated. His son was not angry, and he chased it from Jinling to Shun Tianfu, we must find out the whereabouts of Chen Wang's remaining party..." He shivered.

"He is quite filial." Linglong said cautiously.

Linglong asked herself, if someone wants to harm Uncle Yu, if someone wants to kill Uncle Yu, she will be furious, and if she pursues and beats that person, she must bring him to justice, and she will never allow him to get away with it after committing crimes .

People and children in the world probably think this way.Who can allow their father to be assassinated?
Uncle Yu was sometimes nervous, sometimes agitated, and sometimes resentful, his expression fluctuated.

Seeing that he was so different from usual, Linglong panicked, "Daddy, what's wrong with you?"

When Uncle Yu met Linglong's gaze, his resentment faded a little, and he let out a "hum", "Daddy was very grateful to him when he sent you home from Prince Zhou's mansion. Thinking about it now, isn't it a joke!"

"That's right, he's too hateful." Linglong agreed very much.

Wang Xiaosan, you are clearly the king of Zhou, but you still pretend to deny it, you are simply teasing people on purpose.

"You don't need to pay attention to him." Uncle Yu confessed.

"Yes, Daddy." Linglong was obedient and obedient.

"Don't you want to spend all your time trying to get acquainted with powerful people?" Uncle Yu smiled, "Father thought that you would do what you said, once you have the opportunity to get to know King Zhou, you would spare no effort."

Linglong was ashamed.She did tell her father that she wanted to get to know Wang Xiaosan, and that if she could get to know King Zhou, she would definitely do her best.

"In the past, I just wrote a little joke to fool him. Not anymore." Linglong muttered.

It doesn't cost money or effort to write a little joke to coax Wang Xiaosan, so why not do it?The current situation is very different, and it is time for a "draft".

Uncle Yu was disappointed, and said slowly: "The situation is indeed very different at this time and at that time."

The father and daughter had a tacit understanding. When they went back to see Mrs. Qiao, neither of them mentioned these troublesome things.

There are quite a lot of people in this city who want to sign up for the election, and the queue to sign up at the government office is very long.There are internal officials and female officials in the Zhou Palace who are responsible for the initial screening. Those who are too tall, too short, too fat, or too thin will not pass. After paying the travel expenses, they will be sent home.

"Wang Xiaosan, you're going back to the capital alone, and I can't accompany you. Good luck, Wang Xiaosan!" Linglong wrote proudly.

Wang Xiaosan's reply came quickly, and the handwriting on the paper was full of vigor and majesty, "Don't worry, little bell, I am not a selfish person, and I will never forget you if I have good things. Take you with me!"

"See how you take me with you." Linglong gloated.

"You will know soon." Wang Xiaosan was confident.

Wang Xiaosan set off to return to Beijing on the third day of April. One day before the departure, the servants arrived at the dignitaries of the Yu family. .”

The waiter looked aggressive, but he was considered polite and never overbearing.

Uncle Yu and Second Master Yu came out together to entertain the servant.Uncle Yu said politely: "There is no one in the humble house to sign up for the three girls, please ask the waiter to see if it is someone else." The waiter took out a note and read it, and said sharply: "What can go wrong? The Guan family of your mansion and the Yu family of the Su family reported their names one after the other, Yu Jingjia, Yu Jingxi, Yu Linglong, and Su Shengchun, these four people are next to each other."

Hearing this, Erye Yu was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. He rushed to the servant and asked loudly, "My wife and my sister won't make decisions on their own. You must have made a mistake!" The servant slowly handed the note to him. "Look, isn't this written by Ling Zheng himself?" Second Master Yu tremblingly opened his eyes, then closed them in pain.

It was indeed Guan's handwriting.

Uncle Yu was very decisive, and said lightly: "Please wait a moment for the waiter, so I will go in and call the little girl out."

The servant was overjoyed, "Mr. Yu, please, please."

Uncle Yu didn't have time to say anything to his younger brother, so he hurried into the inner house.

Don't mention the guilt in Erye Yu's heart.Xiaojia and Xiaoxi either wanted it or they didn't object to it, but Linglong didn't want to go out this far, didn't want to choose such a beautiful girl at all.Lady, even if you really want to sign up, you can't sign up for Linglong. If you do this, how can I have the face to see my elder brother and sister-in-law in the future?Linglong is the lifeblood of the eldest brother and sister-in-law.

Linglong was drinking tea and chatting with Mrs. Qiao, when she saw Uncle Yu come in hurriedly, both mother and daughter were surprised.

"Daddy, why are you back at this time?" Linglong greeted her and asked with a smile.

If Uncle Yu doesn't go out during the day, he usually stays in Jinshizhai or his study, and he doesn't easily go back to the inner house.It's as if the study is where he goes to work, and the inner house is his home. It's a bit abnormal for him to appear at home during working hours.

Uncle Yu looked at Linglong with a complicated expression for a long time, and Linglong felt terrified, Qiao was puzzled.

He ordered all the maids to go out, and stretched out his hand to uncover the landscape painting hanging on the wall, revealing a mechanism.Twist on the switch, and the wall slowly opens to reveal a black hole.

Linglong looked over curiously, and saw that he groped in the black hole and took out a small bottle.The bottle is beautiful, it is transparent and you can see the pink pills inside.

Like Linglong, Mrs. Qiao was stunned, "Shishi Lang, I never knew there was this in the house."

Uncle Yu forced a smile, poured a glass of water, carefully squeezed out a pink pill, and put it in the water.

The pills melted quickly, and the clear water turned a very light pink, no longer clear, and a little cloudy.

"What is this for?" Joe was confused.

Linglong thought of a possibility and jumped up all of a sudden, "Daddy, you want me to..."

Uncle Yu held her down, his eyes were gentle and sentimental, "Daughter, father will not harm you." He picked up the tea cup and handed it to her, and ordered softly, "Daughter, drink it."

"What will happen to me if I drink it?" Linglong asked pitifully.

"You will sleep." Uncle Yu explained softly.
