Chapter 118: The Storm is Coming
In the Lin Mansion, Wu leaned on the couch with his hands on his head and waited for the news of Guangfeng Building, and Li'er served her gently on the side. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"It's been so long, why hasn't there been any news yet. Wu said worriedly.
Hearing her words, Li'er obediently flattered: "Don't worry, madam, my uncle and grandfather said that they are all a few reliable people, and it will definitely work out." ”
The words of consolation did not reassure Wu, and sighed, "I hope!" This time she didn't come forward in person, and she was not at ease about the people arranged by Wu Jingren.
was worried, Wu Jingren sent someone to send news that things were messed up.
Wu sat up suddenly, waved his hand to send all the maids in the room down, stared at the visitor with cold eyes, and asked urgently: "Idiot, you can't do a little thing, what happened?"
The person who came was furious by her, and replied tremblingly: "Originally, everything went well, but who knew that Yuan Cuicui was killed halfway, and in the end, the three of them were recognized by others, which made our plan fall short." ”
"Yuan Cuicui, she is not the cook lady of Biluoju, why did she run to Linxiang Tower?" Wu instantly understood what was going on. "And the person who sent it has also been recognized, don't tell me that you directly sent someone from Guangfeng Building!" her sharp voice suddenly raised, full of anger. This group of things that have not achieved enough things and have more than enough failures have not found out the situation of Linxiang Building in advance, so they ran around to find trouble with others. Yuan Cuicui is a gold medal chef given by the emperor, and she is famous not only for her good cooking skills that even the emperor praises, but also for her fiery temper, and can she end well in public for criticizing her skills and ruining her reputation? The most hateful thing is that she clearly instructed them in the letter to find someone else outside, and if she didn't listen, she actually sent someone from Guangfeng Building to come forward. Extremely stupid, really stupid, if she had known beforehand, she would not have come to do this
The people who came knew that they were wrong, and they lowered their heads and did not dare to justify. Wu Shi looked at his reaction even more angrily, and she was really right by her. Does her brother have a brain, there are many ruffians outside, so she has to send someone from Guangfeng Lou to come forward, and she doesn't know if she doesn't confess to herself, telling people that all this is done by Guangfeng Lou. Unexpectedly, in the end, Guangfeng Lou's reputation was lost, and he didn't please him, but made Linxiang Building famous.
It's not a matter of arranging it herself, and it's really not worry-free, so she can mess up a little thing that she can. The successive defeats made Wu's heart ache with anger, "It's all useless things like you, you can't do any trivial things, what is my brother doing? Is it so difficult to find a few ruffians outside? How much money can you ask him for? After so many years of working under the master, have I ever treated him badly? Now if you have something to do to help me a little, this is how to help me, if you find out the situation of Linxiang Tower and report it to me, why did you fall to this point, but you were caught off guard." ”
"Yes, yes. The people who came responded again and again, secretly hesitating in their hearts to tell her whether to tell her that all this was not arranged by Lord Wu, but ordered by her sister-in-law Feng. After thinking about it, forget it, if you tell her the truth, I'm afraid that if you get angry, you will scold him even worse.
"Mother, mother, something is wrong, something is wrong. Before the matter here was dealt with, Lin Qingyue's panicked shouting came, and I saw her rushing in from outside the courtyard with a hurried expression, trotting to Wu and pulling her, panting and saying, "Mother, it's not good, daddy ......"
"Shut up. Before he finished speaking, Wu frowned and scolded. Turning his head to the person sent by Wu Jingren, he said, "Go back and tell my eldest brother, this matter is not over, if we are not happy, he will not want to be alone." There will be a next time, and Hugh blames me for turning my face and being ruthless. She was really angry, she didn't care about Wu Jingren's affairs, but in the end it came to this point. This time, she was not only planted in the hands of Lin Xiaoyou, but also in the hands of her brother. Now, we must quickly find a way to redeem the defeat.
"Yes, yes, the little one understands. The person who came reluctantly agreed, and quickly got up and slipped away.
Waiting for the person to be sent away, Wu turned around and reproached: "What a fuss, look at you, how can you look like a famous lady." Tell me, what's wrong with your father?"
"Mother, something really happened, see for yourself. Lin Qingyue was inexplicably reprimanded and was very unhappy, but she couldn't care about being angry at the moment, and hurriedly handed her the note in her arms, "Just now I was playing the piano in the courtyard, and suddenly a dagger flew over and inserted it on the table in front of me, which scared people to death." When I came back to my senses, I had this note on it. ”
Wu Shi took the note, his heart jumped, and he asked with concern, "You're not hurt, Yue'er, are you?"
Lin Qingyue shook her head and said, "I'm fine, I didn't move after this dagger flew at that time." ”
"That's good. Just to pass on the news and not hurt people, Wu breathed a sigh of relief. Opened the note with a solemn gaze: Lian Hushan, congratulations to Lord Lin and Mrs. Yan for their deep affection.
A simple sentence made Wu's face fade in an instant, and his sharp eyes stared at the note for a while, and his pupils contracted and said loudly: "Someone." ”
Lin Qingyue's sudden reaction startled Lin Qingyue, and she said nervously, "Mother, what are you going to do?"
Wu snorted coldly, "What are you afraid of?" Yan Huirong has already died into a pile of white bones, and now it's just someone deliberately making trouble. She doesn't believe that Yan Huirong still has the ability to get up from the ground to fight against her, this time someone must be behind the control, although I don't know what he wants to do and what his purpose is, but she can't ignore Lin Lanhai.
"Could it be Lin Xiaoyu?" Lin Qingyue's face was not good, and then she sneered: "This slut, even his dead mother, really makes people despicable." ”
It doesn't matter who it is, what matters is what happened to Lian Hushan? She arranged for the housekeeper to go over and take care of it herself, and if there was something, she couldn't possibly not know why that person would send her such a note for no reason.
"Ma'am. The maid heard the call and came in from outside.
Wu stood up and instructed her, "I'm going to Lianhu Mountain to see the master, you prepare the carriage immediately." ”
"Yes. The maid received the order and bowed and retreated.
Seeing that she was going out, Lin Qingyue couldn't sit still, "Mother, you're going to Lianhu Mountain, what should I do?" ”
Wu glanced at her, and sighed faintly: "It's messy enough now, what kind of mess are you licking, stay at home and watch this home for your mother." ”
Lin Qingyue was a little disappointed, and said, "Okay, be careful on the road." ”
Wu nodded slightly, cleaned up a little, and hurriedly went out with the maid's subordinates.
Lin Xiaoyou finished inspecting Linxiang Tower and was about to return home, but as soon as he went out, he saw a carriage with the sign of Lin Mansion speeding towards the direction outside the city.
is so urgent, could it be that Bai Rong's matter has been leaked. She stared at the carriage out of the city in a daze, and secretly doubted.
"Bai Rong is not a vegetarian either. “
The familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Lin Xiaoyou turned to look at the person who came in hindsight, and said in surprise: "Senior brother?" and then asked keenly: "So you deliberately revealed the news to the Wu family?"
Lin Xiaoyu stared at her and said softly, "It's me." ”
Lin Xiaoyou nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, just let them toss." Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you for Bai Rong's matter, senior brother. "Although the plan was a little ahead of schedule, I thought that it would be better to let the Wu family go over in advance than Lin Lanhai to take Bai Rong back to the house. In this way, they are not psychologically prepared, the more fierce the Wu family is, the more Lin Lanhai will value Bai Rong, and the more Bai Rong will benefit, the more the Wu family will hate, and the relationship between the two is bound to be intolerable.
"Not necessarily. Lin Xiaoyu's face was calm and his eyes were calm, "Do you want to go over and watch a good show together?"
Lin Xiaoyou looked in the direction of leaving the city and shook his head, "No need, I should go back after being out for so long." "Although she really wants to be with her brother, but not yet, it's not the time.
"Okay, I'll send you. Lin Xiaoyou didn't say it, but he knew that Xiahou Yichen must have already arranged the manpower for the affairs of the Lin Mansion, so why did she need to come forward.
"Senior brother, I don't know where you live yet, tell me where I am, and I'll go see you another day. As she walked, Lin Xiaoyou suddenly remembered that she hadn't known her senior brother's residence for so long, and every time she wanted to see him, she didn't know where to find him.
Lin Xiaoyu frowned, her lowered eyes were a little strange, and she said slowly: "No need, I don't have a fixed place, even if you come, you won't be able to find me." You just have to take care of yourself. ”
However, such a small request was also refused, Lin Xiaoyou smiled stiffly, a little distracted, and said in a low voice: "Got it." ”
The two walked silently for a while, "Go back, the palace has arrived." Lin Xiaoyu bowed slightly and gestured to her.
Arrived so soon to hear his reminder. Lin Xiaoyou raised his head and followed his gaze, and the palace stood majestically in front of him. She had been absent-minded just now, and just followed her senior brother in a daze, but she didn't expect to come back unconsciously. Thinking of separating, she frowned reluctantly, but she couldn't move. "Senior brother, I'm ......"
patted her on the shoulder, and her words were interrupted, and her always cold face raised a slight smile, and said softly: "Go back quickly, you are now the princess, and your words and deeds are in the attention of others, and you can't be willful." The position of the princess is in dire straits, so you should be more careful yourself. ”
Senior brother still cared about her, listening to Lin Xiaoyu's instructions, Lin Xiaoyu nodded lightly. Indeed, with his current identity, it is inconvenient for his senior brother to appear at the gate of the palace. Besides, the most important thing now is how to deal with the Lin Mansion's family, she has to go back and think about the next thing.
didn't take two steps, Lin Xiaoyu suddenly remembered something, and shouted: "Xiaoyu, do you have time tomorrow?"
"What's wrong? Hearing his shout, Lin Xiaoyou turned around and asked with a smile.
Looking at her slender figure dressed as a man, Lin Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go horseback riding tomorrow." ”
The sudden words made Lin Xiaoyou stunned, in the past, the senior brother taught her to ride a horse, she was always naughty and mischievous, just for the matter of horse riding, the senior brother didn't know how much he hurt her brains for her, but he knew that she did it on purpose, but he guarded her in his own way and connived at her. Now that time has flown by, and she has come to the present unconsciously, looking at the situation of the two, especially the appearance that he has rejected her for thousands of miles, she can't even think about it. The surprise at this moment made Lin Xiaoyou feel like she was dreaming, but if she was dreaming, she would rather never wake up for the rest of her life.
When I met his gaze, I saw that the eyes that seemed to be perceptive to people's hearts revealed a long-lost pampering and pity, and vaguely seemed to return to the old time. Lin Xiaoyou's lips unconsciously raised a beautiful arc, "Okay." A thousand words of joy were all wrapped into this simple answer, and no one knew how much she wanted to stay with him since she was a child. No one knows how desperately she has been working so hard to return to him one day.
"Then I will pick you up at the gate of the palace tomorrow morning. After Lin Xiaoyu finished speaking, she withdrew her gaze, and without waiting for her to react, she turned around and walked away quickly.
"Senior brother. Lin Xiaoyou chased him for two steps and saw that he ignored him, so he had to watch his figure slowly walk away until he disappeared. The senior brother seemed to have something on his mind, and he looked in a hurry, what the hell was he doing.
"Stinky girl, what are you sneaking around looking at here?" a scolding voice came, interrupting Lin Xiaoyu's thoughts. Looking back, I saw the housekeeper Zhang Yingfu striding to the door, facing the door and asking someone with an unkind expression.
Immediately after that, a small female voice said, "Back to the housekeeper, Miss Yin ordered the slave to buy some candied fruit and come back." ”
"If you want to buy something, you won't report it to the housekeeper who procures it, you need to run out by yourself, do you still have the rules of the palace in your eyes? Zhang Yingfu said angrily.
"Yes, yes, the slave knows what is wrong. ”
"What's wrong, Uncle Zhang?" From this position, I could only see Zhang Yingfu, but I couldn't see who was hiding in the door. Lin Xiaoyou asked and walked back to the house slowly.
Seeing that it was Lin Xiaoyou coming back, Zhang Yingfu respectfully stepped forward and saluted: "It's okay, teach a little girl who doesn't know the rules." ”
It was found that the maid panicked, and casually pulled a reason to deal with the housekeeper, at this time, listening to her approaching footsteps, she was even more anxious, and while Zhang Yingfu was not paying attention, she hurriedly bowed, turned around and trotted away in a panic regardless of the rules.
When Lin Xiaoyu stepped forward, the figure of the little maid was already gone. Even if you want to buy candied fruit for Yin Qiumeng, you won't be able to sneak away from her. It seems that Yin Qiumeng has almost recovered from his illness these days, and he began to move again, and his hands reached out to his side. I don't know how long the little maid has been watching the matter of being at the door with my senior brother just now, so I have to be careful in the future.
"Why doesn't the princess go out with some guards and maids, she is not at ease when she is alone. Seeing her alone, Zhang Yingfu said worriedly.
She's just going out for a walk at will, and it's not a big deal. Knowing that Uncle Zhang really cared about her, Lin Xiaoyou smiled and said, "It's not a good time to come back, and not a single hair is missing." Don't worry, Uncle Zhang. ”
Zhang Yingfu shook his head helplessly, looked around and looked up at the sky, and said: "It's going to change, the princess has been out for a day, she must be tired, hurry back to the room to rest." ”
Is it going to rain? Lin Xiaoyou took the opportunity to look at the sky, it was only a unitary hour, the sky was still bright, and there were signs of rain. She was puzzled, and was about to ask, but saw Zhang Yingfu's brows tightly locked, and her worried look seemed to have something on her mind, "Uncle Zhang, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's just that the prince hasn't come back yet, and the old slave can't help but be a little worried. He replied worriedly.
The change of the four seasons, the impermanence of wind and rain is a natural phenomenon of heaven, Lin Xiaoyou didn't pay much attention to it, but he had never seen him so worried when it rained in the past, and this time he couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw his expression, "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, the prince is not a child anymore, he will be careful when he goes out." ”
Zhang Yingfu's face was gloomy, he smiled reluctantly, and nodded at Lin Xiaoyou. opened his mouth as if he had something to say, but after thinking about it, he changed his words and said, "The princess goes back and rests, the old slave has nothing to do here." ”
Lin Xiaoyou nodded and didn't say much, and quickly walked towards Shihuan Courtyard.
