Chapter 453: The Lin Clan
Thinking of this, Lan Xin naturally thought of the Rong family. Today's Rong Jing is no longer the gentle and polite person he used to be. Today's Rong Jing is insidious and vicious, and he will be repaid.
When he came to Jiangzhou, in order to force Ziyi to submit, he actually cut off Zhou Wentao's fingers. After returning to Xuzhou, he can still lick his face and find purple clothes to cooperate. It's a pity that his two thousand taels of silver tickets are destined to be lost.
Although Lan Xin had the intention to make use of the glass formula, he made use of Ziyi as planned. But the formula in Ziyi's hand is not real. Because she was worried that before Ziyi rescued Zhou Wentao, things would fall into the hands of others. If the real glass formula falls into someone else's hands, then the auction will be meaningless. Everything that Lan Xin carefully arranged also fell through.
Lan Xin thought that Ziyi would threaten her with the things in her hand, but she didn't expect Rong Jing to buy the formula from Ziyi. After all, two people can be regarded as enemies. Such two people who have no bottom line, if there is an opportunity to cooperate in the future, they should not refuse.
However, it shouldn't be easy for Rong Jing now, right? Lu Zhendong's blunt knife cutting method makes Rong Jing live a life of walking on thin ice every day. The funny thing is that Rong Jing still doesn't know who made the Rong family walk into the abyss step by step.
Thinking of Rong Jing, Lan Xin also thought of the haunting Wei Gongzi by the way. She took advantage of Xiaochun and Xiaoqiu's actions to join forces with Mrs. Mu and Lu Sheng, and almost eliminated all his forces in Jiangzhou City. And he has not moved at all so far, either because of a big injury to his vitality, or he is holding back a big move. And Lan Xin thinks that it should be the latter that is more likely to be.
This is one of the reasons why she changed her chances of going to sea. If she left the Great Sect Dynasty while she was leaving, Wei Gongzi suddenly took revenge on the Yu family viciously, and the Yu family would definitely bleed. And after I came back, looking at the ruined Jade Mansion, I really regretted it too late.
But you can't just let this Wei Gongzi lead the nose, you have to find a way to lure him out. It's best to catch them all and do it once and for all.
********
Autumn is high and crisp, and there are no clouds.
After Lan Xin's carriage arrived at the door of the Lu Mansion, the little maid in the concierge immediately brought a horse stool and respectfully asked Lan Xin to get off the car. And another guy ran in to report the news.
Lan Xin got out of the carriage, gathered the cloak on his body, smiled and nodded at the little girl, and then raised his feet and walked towards the house. Dongxiu, who followed behind, stuffed the purse that had been prepared into the hands of the little girl.
As soon as I arrived at the second gate, I saw Mother Qiu next to Mrs. Lu waiting there. Mother Qiu was just about to salute, but Lan Xin hurriedly greeted her, held Mother Qiu's hand, and said with a smile: "Mother doesn't need to be polite." He took Qiu's mother's hand and walked towards the old lady's yard, "How is Mom doing?"
Mother Qiu said with a smile: "Thank you Miss Yu for your concern, thanks to the girl's blessing, the old slave is very good." ”
The two laughed and went into the old lady's yard. The old man sat on the Taishi chair, wearing a royal blue jacket embroidered with light blue peonies, and his silver hair was neatly pinned behind his head with a pair of emerald Ruyi hairpins. Seeing Lan Xin come in, he greeted with a smile: "Oh, you girl hasn't come to see me for a long time!"
Lan Xin curtsied and said with a smile: "Old lady Wanfu." The old lady motioned to Mother Qiu to help Lan Xin up, and said with a smile: "You girl, it's a lot of courtesy!" patted the chair next to her and said, "Sit down, let's talk well." ”
Lan Xin borrowed Qiu's mother's hand, stood up, and sat down on the brocade next to the old lady with a smile. Jokes, even if the old lady likes herself, she can't be rude to be an equal to the old lady.
"Oh, how did you sit there? Get on the chair. The old lady blamed her, but her eyes were full of smiles. She just appreciates Lan Xin's point, can find her position, and is not pampered and proud.
Lan Xin knew that his actions had pleased Mrs. Lu, hugged the old man's arm, and said coquettishly: "This location is good, this place is closer to the old lady." When I got closer, I could see the black dai in the old lady's eyes. Presumably because the weather is getting cooler, and there are many things in the house during this time, the old lady's night cough is even worse.
The old lady smiled and nodded Lan Xin's forehead, and said angrily: "You girl, you are really sweet! He turned to the people around him and said, "I'm not wrong, am I?!" ”
When Lan Xin first came in, he noticed the people around the old lady. guessed that it should be Lu Xianxin's wife Lin. Lin's grandfather is the same Jinshi of Old Lady Lu, and the relationship between the two is really that kind of gentlemanly friendship. I don't usually communicate too much, and it doesn't look like it's close. But when it comes to a pinch, you always think of each other. So for so many years, the relationship between the two families has been very good.
After the death of Mrs. Lu's grandfather, Lin's grandfather resigned and returned to his hometown and opened the Lishan Academy in Ningzhou. Today's academy is well-known in the Dazong Dynasty, and all the students who come out of Lishan Academy are highly respected. Of course, the standards for recruiting students in Lishan Academy are also very strict, and not everyone can get in if they want to.
Mrs. Lin has a son in her old age, so she is naturally very precious to her son. Therefore, after his son became a jinshi, he did not let him enter the court as an official, but returned to the academy to teach. It's like the next president of the college.
After Mrs. Lu died of illness, some people in the Lu family excluded their mother and son, so Mrs. Lu took Lu Sheng to Ningzhou. Mrs. Lin often helped their mother and son, and later saw that Lu Sheng was very intelligent, so he accepted him into the academy.
After Lu Sheng got married, Mrs. Lu was not worried about the Li family's housekeeper, so she returned to the capital. One year, Mrs. Lin took the Lin family to live in the capital, and Mrs. Lu took a fancy to the Lin family at a glance. The two families secretly decided to be married. In addition, Lu Xian is studying at Lishan Academy, and he and the Lin family are also childhood sweethearts, so the marriage between the two is logical.
Some people think that the Lu family is thriving now, and the Lin family is just a teacher in the academy, and the Lu family is at a loss in this family business. But Lan Xin's thoughts are different, although no one in the Lin family is an official in the imperial court, it seems that they have no power. However, the Lin family has students all over the world, and at least three of the ten people on the list of Jinshi every year are from Lishan Academy. I am afraid that no family can match such a force.
What's more, Lin Yuan, the water governor of Fuzhou, is the cousin of the Lin family. Therefore, the Lin family's power in the court should not be underestimated.
