Chapter 14
Ying Huaizhen thought of "borrowing" Ling Jue's famous work, and the reason was Ying Lanfeng's interpretation of the seal given by Lin Shenzhou.
The four words "what do I want" on the seal, Ying Lanfeng naturally thought that this is mostly "Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know me say what I want", these two sentences are from the "Book of Songs", which means that those who understand me know that I have worries in my heart, and those who don't understand me think that I have other plans.
You must know that although Lin Shenzhou is an important minister, and hundreds of officials are famous and fearful, but the so-called "when the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are clear, there are no disciples", after all, Qu is high and low, those who fear him, those who hate him, secretly slander him in every way, in contrast, there are very few who really understand him for his confidants.
Lin Shenzhou is naturally not the kind of person who is sad about spring and autumn, and he has long been accustomed to being on a high place and looking down on all living beings coldly, but for himself, occasionally ...... After all, there is a trace of loneliness and regret.
So Ying Huai really thought of Ling Jue's poem.
"Mo Dao has no confidant in the future, and no one in the world knows you", this is praise, but also implies praise, free and happy, but there is no flattery at all, so when Lin Shenzhou sees these two sentences, he will inevitably have a sense of confidant in his heart for Ying Lanfeng, who wrote this poem.
Who told Lin Shenzhou to keep looking at Ying Lanfeng with that slightly gloomy gaze? Ying Huaizhen is next to him, but he always secretly pays attention to this "uncle", Lin Shenzhou does not appreciate Ying Lanfeng very much, she understands this.
Although Ying Lanfeng didn't care very much, he deserved to be a person who was transparent and changeable. What Ying Huaizhen did was just to build an excellent "brick" under the pretense of Ying Lanfeng's hand, and Ying Lanfeng naturally picked it up as a stepping stone...... dispelled the lingering prejudice against him in Lin Shenzhou's heart, and soon, it triggered some other reactions, which were not mentioned for the time being.
Early this morning, Ying Lanfeng went to the court, Li Xianshu instructed the maids to wash with a mother-in-law, and the outside reported that the young grandmother of the Zhang family was coming, and Li Xianshu hurriedly washed her hands and welcomed out.
Ying Huai was really dozing in the house, and when he heard Zhang Zhen's cry outside, his heart twitched for no reason.
Zhang Zhen has not been to the county government since her birthday, although it is a little boring, but it is better than seeing a heart.
I didn't expect it to come again today.
Zhang Zhen was like a little wild horse without a hive, kicked and jumped into the house, and said with a smile: "Really sister, I'm here!" I haven't seen you in the past two days, do you want to miss me? ”
Ying Huaizhen was a little depressed, but when he saw his chubby face smiling very silly, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "What are you doing at home?" ”
Zhang Zhen ran to the edge of the table, first put the small basket in his hand on the table, it turned out that there were a lot of pastries and fruits in it, Zhang Zhen said: "Dad doesn't know what, this time I see that I am stricter than before, even if I refuse to eat to scare him, he refuses to let me come...... I've brought you some snacks and fruit, so you can taste them. ”
Ying Huaizhen turned around and shouted: "Sister Jixiang, pour tea." No one agreed, presumably the girls were still busy, so she climbed down from the chair by herself, found the teapot, and touched the inside, the tea was still warm.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhen hurriedly took it: "Don't do this, it's not easy to break and cut your hands, or it's hot?" ”
Ying Huaizhen went with him, Zhang Zhen carried the teapot to the table, one person poured a cup of tea, and ate the fruit, it was really sweet and delicious, the two ate with relish, Ying Huaizhen asked, "What about your mother?" ”
Zhang Zhen said: "Talking outside." ”
Ying Huaizhen nodded, lowered his eyes to look at the fried fruit, and said, "This is sweet and fragrant, and it is delicious." ”
When Zhang Zhen heard this, she smiled again: "I'll bring it to you next time." ”
The two were drinking tea and eating pastries in the house, and the young grandmother of the Zhang family sat with Li Xianshu outside, and the young grandmother said, "Are you busy again?" If there is not enough manpower, I will ask someone to go to my house and call a few helpers, how easy it is. ”
Li Xianshu said: "I naturally understand your kindness, but these little things, you can do it yourself, raise your hand to do it, why bother to work hard, since we came to Taizhou, how much care has been taken care of by the house, the day before yesterday Huaizhen's birthday, and sent such a generous gift, how can you be happy?" ”
Grandma Zhang Shao smiled: "Since you say that the two of us are good, don't mention those little things, not to mention Huaizhen's birthday over the years, for fear of falling into the hands of others, why should we give any valuable objects?" Isn't this time because she saved Yuanbao's life? What is the point of sending a piece of gold, if there is a good ingot, even if our house is bankrupt, what about it? ”
Li Xianshu also smiled: "Okay, this is just a coincidence, you don't forget, speaking of which, Ah Zhen and Yuan Bao are also blessed with great fortune, so even if I meet such a fierce and vicious person, I will come back with a good look, I am also afraid when I think about it, but I feel that there is a god and Bodhisattva in the dark who blesses these two children." ”
Both smiled and nodded. After taking a sip of tea, Grandma Zhang Shao looked at Li Xianshu and stopped talking. Lee Hyun-sook is a person who can observe words and feelings, so she asked, "What's wrong with you, do you still have something to tell me?" ”
"This ......" Grandma Zhang lowered her eyebrows, but did not speak.
Li Xianshu knew something was wrong, so she held her hand and said, "Fang just said that we are good, so what else can't you tell me?" Now that you're here, do you want to take the words back with you? ”
Grandma Zhang raised her eyes to look at her, smiled suddenly, pulled her hand on the back of Li Xianshu's hand, and said, "Hey, you are in a hurry, you are also down-to-earth and careful, I don't look right at all, you can see it...... It's strange that our lord's perennial family said that you are powerful at home, and that you should be blessed. ”
Li Xianshu waved her hand when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about this, who doesn't know who, just say that I am the one who controls our family." ”
Grandma Zhang pursed her lips and smiled, and suddenly sighed: "I do have something that blocks my heart, so I have to spit out my bitterness with you." Our grandfather is good at everything, but there is one thing that is absolutely not as good as Lord Ying. ”
Lee Hyun-sook asked, "How do you say that?" ”
Grandma Zhang Shao said: "You don't know, we already have a few ...... in our family" said, raised his right hand, stretched out three fingers, and said: "He is still insufficient, and he still wants to take another room...... You say how can I be happy with this breath in my heart? ”
Li Xianshu covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "That person in your family is such a character, haven't you gotten used to it all these years?" ”
Grandma Zhang frowned and said, "I just said, it's a shame that I have ingots, otherwise, there is a place for me in the Zhang family at this moment, and I would have eaten it for those sharp-toothed and sharp-tongued ......."
Li Xianshu said: "This can't be, in the end, it is a husband and wife, ten years of repairing in the same boat, and sleeping together for a hundred years, no matter how nonsense it is, do you want to lose your wife?" ”
Grandma Zhang Shao smiled slightly, looked at Li Xianshu, and said: "So I said, I envy you very much in my heart, you should have such a character, who sees him to other cats, dogs, and fours?" ”
Li Xianshu snorted and said, "He dares to try?" ”
Grandma Zhang Shao laughed: "The two of you should have been cultivated in the previous life, and the ...... was made in heaven" The smile slowly faded, and after a pause, she suddenly said: "However, I heard that there are still two children in the capital of Lord Ying?" ”
Li Xianshu was slightly surprised when she mentioned this, and said: "It was left by the previous one, and it was supposed to be brought over, but the lady in their house has a very proposition, saying that the child is still young, and those who follow us through the mountains and rivers are afraid that there will be three long and two short, so she will stay in the house first and she will raise it personally...... What is it? There are many people in the mansion, and people like us don't know what to think. ”
Grandma Zhang bowed her head and said, "Then, Huaizhen is also older, but you don't want to raise another one?" I mean...... After all, there is a son over there, if he ...... in the future."
Li Xianshu raised her eyebrows and said, "What will happen in the future, will he be able to abandon our mother and son in the future?" I'm not worried about this, in the eyes of Erlang, no one in the world is as good as Ah Zhen, he is the most affectionate Ah Zhen, even I can't compare, let alone those people. ”
When Grandma Zhang saw her say this, she smiled and said softly: "I am also too upset about things at home, so I am cranky, so I said these things more, you must not take it to heart, don't annoy me because of this, blame me for talking too much." ”
Li Xianshu said: "Where is it, we are together, don't we say a few jokes?" What's more, I also know, you are really for my good, so I thought of this point, and it's too late for me to admit your love! ”
When the young grandmother heard this, she knew that she had no worries, so she smiled again.
At this moment, Ruyi came to add tea, and after Ruyi retreated, the young grandmother took a shallow sip, put down the teacup in her hand, and suddenly said intentionally or unintentionally: "By the way, the two men who saved Huaizhen the day before yesterday have already left?" ”
Li Xianshu didn't pay attention, raised his hand and said, "It's long gone, haven't you heard?" Escorting dates and persimmons, Erlang also took Ah Zhen out of the city that day. ”
The young grandmother nodded and said: "These two masters are really like saviors from heaven, not only saved Huaizhen and Yuanbao, but also showed kindness to Taizhou...... Should adults get along well with them? ”
When Li Xianshu heard the last sentence, she turned her head to look at her and said, "These two are very easy to get along with, Ah Zhen gave gifts on his birthday, which is naturally excellent, what's wrong?" ”
The young grandmother stared at her and said, "I also asked casually, and you also know that our family was also in the capital before...... On Huaizhen's birthday, our father also came, and he was sitting at the same table with those two...... Later, I heard him say in a trance that these two were very kind-hearted, and it seemed that they had met somewhere. ”
Li Xianshu said with a smile: "They are also businessmen in Beijing, and they have seen them wherever they are." ”
The young grandmother smiled after a moment, and said, "Anyway...... Since you are 'excellent' with Lord Ying, you will be fine. ”
Lee Hyun-sook felt that this was a bit strange, so she asked, "Is there anything else you haven't told me?" ”
The young grandmother said, "What is it?" Don't worry about it, I'm just bored in my heart, so I came to talk to you...... It's time to go, you're busy, don't send me. ”
Ying Lanfeng disposed of a public case in the morning, it turned out that after the grain was released yesterday, the steward of a village withheld the grain, so that many people handed over dates and persimmons and the people could not get it, which aroused the anger of the people, Ying Lanfeng found out that it was true, beat the person, put him in prison, and the grain was distributed fairly, and he was busy for a long time.
In the afternoon, Ying Lanfeng slept hazy for a while, got up and went to the desk, and said in her heart: "Tete slept for a while, but still got nothing, alas, when will there be any more good poems?" He picked up the brush, but found that the grinding in the inkstone had dried up, and was about to raise his hand to pour water and grind, when suddenly a thought flashed in his heart: "That day, Huaizhen pulled me up and told me to write...... Obviously, the ink is full, I remember that I didn't use this book case in those days, could it be that Zhen'er had studied the ink for me in advance? ”
Just as he was in a trance, Li Xianshu came in from outside, and when he saw him in a trance, he said: "Why did you disappear after eating, I thought you had something serious, so I didn't dare to disturb it, but I didn't think about sleeping here...... I have something to tell you. ”
Ying Lanfeng asked what was the matter, and Li Xianshu said: "Today, Grandma Zhang came and gossiped with me for a while. ”
Ying Lanfeng joked: "When you speak, do you want to tell me again?" Did you talk about me? ”
Seeing that he had guessed, Li Xianshu smiled and lightly tapped his forehead before saying, "Those gossips don't matter, it's just that I feel that something is a little strange, and I always feel that she seems to be hiding something from me." ”
Ying Lanfeng said: "How do you say this? ”
Li Xianshu frowned and said: "She seems to be here to gossip, but she has always been a measured person who refuses to talk much...... She didn't mean to say this, but I was forced to take it out in a hurry......"
Ying Lanfeng smiled: "I don't understand more and more, so what does she want to say?" ”
"That's what's going on," Li Xianshu pondered, "When she said it, she specifically asked about the two masters of Lin and Tang who left the day before yesterday, and also asked how you got along with them...... Finally, what do you say, their grandfather seems to have met these two in Beijing, you say that she said this at this time for no reason, isn't it a little weird? I looked at her behavior, but it looked like she had come to tell me about it. ”
Ying Lanfeng pondered for a while and said, "Since you are a businessman, it is inevitable that you will ...... if you see it."
Li Xianshu said: "I said the same thing, but she said that you get along well with those two masters, and you will be 'safe and sound'...... What are these words, you are also an official, and they are just two passers-by, are you still afraid of offending them? Could it be that they will be some kind of big officials who can't be offended? ”
Ying Lanfeng "offended" the "big official" one by one, and her face suddenly turned white slowly, like snow.
Li Xianshu said for a long time, but there was no response, and when she looked at Ying Lanfeng, she seemed to be out of her body, she was startled, and hurriedly pushed him: "What's wrong with you?" What the hell? ”
Ying Lanfeng fell in response, and fell to the ground, Li Xianshu was taken aback, hurriedly pounced on to help, and asked anxiously: "What's the matter, what do you say?" Have you ever fallen? ”
Ying Lanfeng didn't get up, hugged Li Xianshu and cried: "Lady, I'm sorry...... I'm afraid I'm going to be condemned to death this time! ”
Lee Hyun-sook didn't know why, so she hurriedly asked. Ying Lanfeng said: "It's me who deserves to die, it's just my own death, now I'm afraid it will affect the lady and Huaizhen...... How good is that? ”
Li Xianshu was taken aback, pulled Ying Lanfeng up hard, and said angrily: "What are you talking about?" How can you talk about death? If you really die, I don't care if you die, how can I implicate Ah Zhen? Explain it to me! Could it be related to that Lin Ye and Tang Ye? They can't be sent by the king of heaven! ”
Ying Lanfeng said: "Although it was not sent by the Heavenly King Laozi, it is even more powerful than that, but remember the iron-boned imperial history I was worried about the day before yesterday?" That imperial history is a ...... surnamed Lin"
When Li Xianshu heard this, she couldn't help but shudder: "What did you say?" You—You're saying......"
Ying Lanfeng said in a trembling voice: "It's not them!" Brother Zhang was afraid that he would recognize it, so he didn't come to the door for the past two days...... Today, I asked the young grandmother to come and knock on the side, but I was careless, and I didn't have the slightest suspicion, and I called them brothers, and even told them all about the private business...... Isn't this sending it to the tiger's mouth? ”
Li Xianshu finally came back to her senses and stammered, "But, but they bought our fruit?" ”
Ying Lanfeng sighed: "That's just as physical evidence, isn't it?" At this time, I'm afraid that someone will come to the door at any time......" Ying Lanfeng said this, suddenly raised his head, gritted his teeth and said: "It's useless to be afraid now!" No matter what, I do things by myself, and I must not affect my wife and daughter. ”
He raised his hand to wipe away his tears, walked to the desk with his chest straight, poured water and grinded, and his eyes gradually became calm and resolute.
Lee Hyun-sook hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?" ”
Ying Lanfeng was completely panicked, and said quietly: "I will write a letter to ask for sin, don't worry, lady, I won't let you have something to do with Zhen'er." ”
Li Xianshu was so anxious that he snatched out the pen in his hand and threw it on the ground: "What nonsense are you talking about? Even if you want to die, I'll be with you! Again...... Besides, it's not necessarily, aren't those two masters very good to us? ”
Ying Lanfeng said in a deep voice: "This is their strength, they are defenseless on the surface, but they are actually hiding knives in their laughter...... The Iron Bone Imperial History has always been iron-faced and selfless and ruthless, and now I am more clearly in his hands, the official law is like a furnace, with his temperament and means, how can it be good? I want to come to that day, Brother Tang Xian...... Then Lord Tang has already reminded me, saying that officials are violating the law in business, and let me leave a way back for myself...... It's me who is too arrogant and rash. ”
He shook his head, lowered his head and took a breath, and wrinkled his eyebrows: "Okay, I'll write to the government again, so that you can go back to the mansion first, so as not to encounter the disaster of the pond fish......"
Seeing that he said it so strictly, Li Xianshu couldn't help but cry, stepped forward and hugged him: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not going anywhere!" ”
Ying Lanfeng kissed her on the forehead and said, "Don't cry, lady, don't tell Zhen'er about this matter first, she is young, don't frighten her, if I have three long and two short, she will only be left with you, you must ...... well"
Lee Hyun-sook has always been strong, but at this moment, she couldn't help crying loudly.
The husband and wife talked about the injury, but they didn't expect Ying Huaizhen to hear it at the door.
A small figure stood by the door, silently motionless.
Ying Huaizhen originally thought that although Ying Lanfeng took a risk in selling dates, after all, it was for the people, and he didn't do anything unusual, so he was not considered a "traitor...... However, she has never set foot in officialdom, so how can she know the rules of officialdom?
One thought can make people live, and one thought can make people die, what Ying Lanfeng did can be big or small, just as Ying Lanfeng said, with Lin Shenzhou's personality of not rubbing sand in his eyes, most of this matter must be dealt with according to law.
She thought that the catastrophe in front of her had passed...... But he is still short-sighted, and under the calm waves, there are still dark waves.
Ying Huaizhen did not enter the house, turned around and walked to the steps, sat down slowly, and held his cheeks in a daze: At this moment, the sun is full of sunshine and the sky is blue, but the wind is rolling in the clouds, like the wind and lightning rolling in, how can you predict the next moment of good luck and misfortune?
After hard work and hard work, he still got an "uncertain future".
The clouds in front of him were rolling and changing, Ying Huaizhen squinted his eyes and smiled helplessly. At this moment, he saw Jixiang running quickly from outside and shouted, "My lord! Young grandma! There's someone out there! "The voice is shrill and shrill as shrill as it is.
