Chapter 69: Desire to Control
Lin Long got Mama Qin here, so he took the guest list and arranged the seats and dishes with her. Mama Qin is like an encyclopedia, she knows everyone on the list clearly, not only her background, relationships, and preferences, but also some little secrets and quirks that can't be told to outsiders.
At first, Lin Long was quite satisfied, thinking that Xiao Yan had finally done a good thing, but the more he listened, the more wrong it became.
Is this still an ordinary mother, this is a spy!
If Lin Long was an ordinary woman, she might not be able to tell the difference, she would only feel that Xiao Yan was intimate and sent such a capable grandmother. But she is not an ordinary woman, she has personally trained the dark guards, and she has even had two secret guard organizations in her hands.
Although Ming's team has been absorbed by Xiao Ze, the hidden team can even be successfully taken over by her rebirth after her death, which can imagine the team's loyalty and skill.
There is no one among tens of millions of people like Mama Qin, who is low-key and inconspicuous, extremely intelligent, has a high memory, and knows everything about everyone in Beijing. Cultivating such a person cannot be achieved without ten years of work.
Mama Qin is a talent like this, presumably Xiao Yan doesn't have much in his hands, it is estimated that two are the extreme, and he can't imagine that he will give her one as soon as he makes a move.
Lin Long was suddenly a little stunned, and he was at a loss for this care and love.
Whether it is in the past life or in this life, she is planning and thinking about others, and the secret guards she has cultivated and trained are also serving Xiao Ze, and no one has ever thought about her like this.
In her previous life, she and Xiao Ze had always been in the lead, she gave him advice, cultivated talents for him, and did her best for him.
Lin Long has always played an omnipotent and trustworthy role in front of everyone. Now it's the other way around, there is someone who can make her dependent, maintain her, and support her β‘β‘.
It's a weird feeling!
Mama Qin glanced at Lin Long, who was suddenly stunned with a look in her eyes, and secretly made a note in the small book in her heart: The princess's favorability towards the prince is 10.
She really wanted to go back to report the swelling and breakage, and she really wanted to eat the big roast duck that the prince rewarded her, and her saliva was striking.
Mama Qin is a master with infinite brains, her mind is already flying wildly, her face is still tense and her face is paralyzed, and she looks low-key and low-key, and she can't be low-key anymore.
Mama Qin went into battle, Mama Liu was idle, these days she is in the kitchen every day, and she is very prosperous. I heard that there was a new colleague from the palace in the house, so I decided to show my hand and entertain him in the evening. After all, the two of them are from Qin and the palace together, and they also take care of each other.
However, who is this Mama Qin? Why didn't she hear that there was such a person in the house, Mama Liu deeply suspected that her head was rusty, and she forgot about the original colleagues of Qin and Wangfu within a few days of coming to the Lin Mansion, which is really not good.
was busy, and suddenly saw the little girl hurriedly come over and say: "Mama Liu, Mama Liu, your nephew is waiting for you at the West Corner Gate, I want to see you." β
Nephew? Mama Liu was confused for a while, he did have a nephew who was an errand boy by the side of the son, but he was not close to her. This nephew has always had a cold temperament, and he is not close to his father, how could he want to see her?
Odd!
Mama Liu wiped her hands on the apron, took off the apron and handed it to the little girl, took a plate of osmanthus cake and stuffed it into the little girl's hand, touched her head, and said with a smile: "Thank you, take it and eat it." β
The little girl smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and walked away happily with a snack.
guessed that the nephew may be coming with the prince this time, the time is tight, and Mama Liu did not dare to delay, and walked quickly towards the corner gate.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw his cold-faced nephew Liu Cheng standing at the door, like a door god.
Before Mama Liu sorted out her thoughts, Liu Cheng had turned around without hesitation: "Aunt come with me." β
His pace was very fast, and he disappeared in a few steps, and Mama Liu was stunned, then trotted to follow, followed her nephew left and right, and finally came to an alley and stopped in front of a carriage.
Mama Liu was so tired that she was panting like a cow, and was about to say that there was no need to bother, she would not take the carriage, when she saw her cold-faced nephew bowing to the carriage.
Seeing this, Mama Liu's whole heart exploded, she was also a person with brains, and immediately signaled to who was sitting in the carriage, and hurriedly wanted to kneel, but was pulled up by her nephew and warned in a low voice: "When you go out, there is no need to be polite." β
Mama Liu nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and looked at the carriage with a pair of big eyes, don't know how excited she is. A grandmother like her who messes around in the kitchen. There is no chance to get close to Shizi, let alone say a few words.
A man's clear and slightly deep voice came from the carriage: "What does she like to eat?" β
Who is she? Mama Liu was a little confused, and then quickly reacted and said cautiously: "The lady is not picky about eating, as long as she does it well, she likes everything." Speaking of this, Mama Liu added, "However, the lady is very happy with the crabs sent by the prince, and she has ordered crab roe buns these days." β
"Oh?" A cheerful voice, with anticipation and encouragement.
Mama Liu was led by this voice, and was encouraged to speak* sharply, and reported how many crabs Lin Long had eaten in the past few days, what way to eat them, and other dishes he used.
Because she was too excited, she spoke a little confused, incoherent, and many words were repeated, but Shizi was very patient and didn't get bored at all.
In the end, there was nothing more to say, and Mama Liu began to talk about the side, such as how difficult this crab is, she learned from the chef for a long time, but slowly began to do better than the chef.
She originally wanted to praise herself and show her high talent in cooking, but she didn't want Xiao Yan to listen to it at all.
He interrupted her: "Does she like crab roe buns a little more, or drunk crabs a little more?" β
"Crab roe buns." Mama Liu nodded, "The lady said that the drunken crab is not clean, and the slave maid is very clean." β
"Who does she like to make the crab roe bun the most?"
Mama Liu didn't dare to lie: "Master Zhang's crab roe bun sent by the prince is the best." β
"She eats crab roe buns, does she like to dip them in vinegar or sauce?"
"Vinegar."
ββ¦β¦β
If she continues to ask like this, Mama Liu has already held back her sweat, and the prince is too detailed to ask, even if the lady likes crab roe buns, there is more crab meat or crab roe.
It wasn't until Mama Liu began to stumble and squeak when she spoke that Xiao Yan stopped and ordered Liu Cheng to send Mama Liu back.
The mouth praised Mama Liu, but in fact, inside, Xiao Yan was not satisfied, this Mama was so careless that she didn't even know how many grains of rice Lin Long ate every day, but fortunately he sent Mama Qin over.
Presumably, after receiving the message from Mama Qin, he would know Lin Long better.
Mama Liu went back with a sweat, and Xiao Yiqing, who was standing next to the carriage, was also sweating, what did the prince want to do, did he need to ask everything in detail, and the torture of the enemy army was not so detailed.
At the beginning, Xiao Yiqing still felt that Lin Long was lucky to have the blue eyes of the world. Now he has some pity for this future princess, there is simply no * anymore, completely exposed.
At the same time, Xiao Yiqing was also secretly shocked by the strong desire of the prince to control, but all the news about the princess and concubine, the prince must grasp it clearly. The secret guards around the princess alone sent twelve, and even Xiao Huang among the seven-color guards was sent over.
Is the son of the world going crazy?
In the Lin Mansion, Lin Long was rarely a little restless, and he couldn't calm down at all, so he sent Mama Qin out and sat on the couch in a daze.
Lin Long is a person who can't accept other people's kindness to her, and she always feels uncomfortable, as if she owes a favor. She already felt guilty about Xiao Yan, and when she saw him thinking about her so much, her heart was about to be burned to death by guilt.
Xu is always used to being strong, always protecting everyone, and getting used to giving, Lin Long is a little uncomfortable with Xiao Ze's way of getting along.
Alas, she sighed, her fingertips scribbling on the bookcase, suddenly distraught.
With Mama Qin here, the crab banquet no longer needs Lin Long to bother, and even the old lady of the Lin Mansion doesn't need to bother. Mama Qin acted vigorously, neatly and crisply, and was well organized.
And if you need anything, you don't need to inform the Lin Mansion, you can take it directly from the Qin and Wang Mansions, and the crab banquet is prepared to the end, and the old lady Lin wonders whose family is doing it, whether it is the Lin family or the Xiao family.
Soon it was the day of the crab feast, because he wanted to greet the guests, Lin Long was woken up by Lilac very early, changed into a red skirt, put on a willow yellow shawl between his arms, and dressed up.
Mama Qin stood aside and silently remembered Lin Long's outfit in her heart, and then suddenly took out a wooden box and handed it over: "Lady, it looks good with this step." β
Lilac took the box, and as soon as she opened it, she saw a cherry pink jade lying inside, moist and beautiful.
"Where did it come from?" Lilac froze.
Mama Qin said in a deep voice: "It was prepared by the prince for the lady." As he spoke, he stepped forward and inserted the step shake in Lin Long's hair.
Through the mirror, Lin Long took a deep look at the step shake on his head and did not refuse.
At the same time, Ling Jiao of the Marquis of Jingling Mansion was also dressing up carefully, and she also received a post from the Lin Mansion this time, but she rarely went out, and everyone didn't expect her to come at all.
The maid Shui Han helped Ling Jiao comb her hair, and at the same time worried: "Is the lady really going, you are not in good health, and the banquet is too noisy." β
Ling Jiao was displeased: "I won't fall when I see the wind." β
Shui Han was silent and no longer dissuaded, only looking at Ling Jiao through the mirror, with a delicate face, and with the delicate and delicate support of the weak willows, it was so beautiful that it was fresh and refined, and people couldn't help but feel pity.
It's just that his face is a little pale, and Shui Han said: "It's better to apply some rouge." β
Ling Jiao caught a glimpse of his pale and weak self in the mirror and nodded.
Who would want to be compared to a rival in love, although Ling Jiao doesn't look down on Lin Long's small family, but for women, the most essential comparison is appearance.
She wanted to see what kind of color Lin Sanniang was born in the mouths of everyone.
ββ
Han Qi is also preparing here, she didn't receive the post, but it doesn't prevent her from rubbing other people's posts, there are still many people who don't like to watch the excitement.
Friend Qian Le glanced at Han Qi, who was dressed up, and felt that she was not attending the banquet at all, but going to smash the field. has a stunning sister, I want to know that Han Qi was not bad, and now in this dress, her eight-point beauty has also become ten, and she is amazingly beautiful, completely comparing her to her.
Qian Le regretted a little that he agreed to take Han Qi over, although it was beautiful to be lively, it was also very embarrassing to be set off as scum.
What's more, her mother didn't agree with her bringing Han Qi over.
All kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods gathered in the forest mansion.
Ling Jiao came a little later, she came with her second uncle, and her mother was self-conscious and disdained to participate in a banquet of this size of the Lin family.
There were too many people, so the Lin family set up the banquet venue in the garden, surrounded by an emerald gauze tent, a carpet on the ground, and a luxurious and exquisite mattress.
It is late autumn, the autumn is high and cool, the weather is pleasant, the sun is not strong, and the garden is located in both the atmosphere and the spaciousness, which is just the people's wishes.
The second lady of the Ling family turned her head to Ling Jiao and said, "This Lin family is good. β
Ling Jiao lowered her eyes and was silent.
When they arrived at the garden, someone immediately greeted them, and Ling Jiao's gaze avoided all the figures like a snake, and landed directly on the scarlet figure in the center.
Her intuition told her, that was Lin Long.
The water cold on her side was also inexplicably nervous, and she also wanted to know what Lin Sanniang was born like.
Sensing a burning gaze falling on his back, Lin Long subconsciously turned around and saw a beautiful little lady, graceful and elegant, but congenitally deficient and not very good in physique.
Lin Long bowed slightly.
Ling Jiao Wolf turned her head, she had thought that Lin San would be born well, the world is harsh, she was born from a low background, if she is not reborn well, her lips and tongue are like knives, she will definitely be degraded to death. But this situation did not appear, and everyone who saw Lin Long admitted that she was well-born, had good manners, and had a good demeanor.
That would certainly not have water.
But no matter how beautiful a woman is, she has also seen Korean, and she thinks she is beautiful but has lost her charm, has no characteristics, she looks beautiful at first glance, and she forgets about it when she turns her head.
Her inner self can't support beauty.
There is also a big girl around Shizi who is thorny, she has seen it a few times, but she feels cheesy. However, seeing Lin Long this time, Ling Jiao finally knew what a real beauty was.
"Auntie?" Hearing a gentle call from her uncle, Ling Jiao came back to her senses slightly, and saw that everyone's eyes fell on her, she was a little uncomfortable, and bowed her head to greet Mrs. Lin.
"Sanniang." Old Madam Lin called Lin Long over and said with a smile, "Go and take Mrs. Ling to the side to play, she is not in good health, you should take care of it more." β
Lin Long nodded, then walked to Ling Jiao's side and smiled at her: "Big lady, please come with me." β
There is a charm in her speech that makes people unconsciously surrender.
Ling Jiao followed her to a group of little ladies, someone knew Ling Jiao, and was a little surprised to see her: "Jiao'er, why are you here." β
The woman who spoke was Qin Zheng, who had a handkerchief with Ling Jiao, and was also Ling Sui's fiancΓ©e, and was used to taking care of Ling Jiao.
She walked to Ling Jiao's side, touched her hand first, it was a little cold, and naturally instructed Shui Han: "Can you bring a stove?" β
Shui Han was stunned, because she wanted to see Lin Long, she had been absent-minded, and it was inevitable that she was not thoughtful enough.
Seeing Shui Han like this, Qin Zheng frowned, knowing that she didn't bring it, when she went out, in front of everyone, she couldn't reprimand Shui Han, so she could only ask Lin Long for help.
"Sanniang, my friend has been weak since he was a child, and there is a stove in the house."
Lin Long tilted his head slightly and looked at Mama Qin, Mama Qin was responsible for all matters related to the crab banquet.
Knowing Qin Zheng's request, Mama Qin's old face that had not changed for thousands of years frowned slightly, in this kind of weather, who would be ready to hold the stove, everyone is still wearing single clothes, okay.
But since the master asked, Mama Qin had to go back with a cold face and get a small stove sent by the prince to warm Lin Long's feet.
Lin Long had just arrived at the Lin Mansion, and he didn't have anything to do for the winter, so he could only take this one first.
Burn the silver frost charcoal, and the little foot stove will be taken.
The water cold made a mistake, and he treated his wife more and more carefully, and as soon as he sent the stove, he immediately held it in his hand to check whether the temperature was hot or not, and whether there was smoke.
In front of the master's house, Shui Han was a little rude, and Ling Jiao apologized to Lin Long: "Don't blame the three ladies, my body has always been bad, and Shui Han is inevitably nervous." β
Of course, Lin Long didn't pick on her, she knew medicine, and she could see at a glance that Ling Jiao had a deficiency disease, and it was not easy to live to such a big life.
Qin Zheng couldn't get used to Ling Jiao whispering to Lin Long, stretched out his hand and stroked his sleeve, and said indifferently: "The third lady is a generous person, how can she be picky, and besides, Shui Han is also for your sake, and you don't know it, you can't smell the fireworks." As he spoke, he glanced at the black little foot stove with disgust.
Everyone speaks beautifully, one word can turn several corners, everyone here is a human spirit, where can I not hear the disgust in Qin Zheng's words, this is an allusion to Lin Jiatan's badness.
But this is also true, where can people like the Lin family use good charcoal, such as silver frost charcoal, it is estimated that they have only heard of it, and they may not even be able to afford Rui charcoal.
Ling Jiao tugged at Qin Zheng's cuffs and smiled apologetically at Lin Long.
Lin Long's expression was calm, without a trace of embarrassment, but Aunt Lin on the side was very embarrassed, her cheeks were flushed, and the other ladies of the Lin family also bowed their heads in shame.
In front of these true noblewomen, they are inferior.
Shui Han fiddled with the stove for a long time, and found that not only there was no smoke, but even the temperature had been stable and unchanged, and when he was surprised, Qin Zheng's question came from his ears: "What's the matter?" β
"Nothing." Shui Han complimented, and sent the stove to Ling Jiao's palm, "It's just that the temperature is a little low." β
Qin Zheng frowned: "Little charcoal? "Hmph, no wonder there is no smoke, this Lin family is too careful. Qin Zheng looks down on this kind of person very much, if he doesn't have it, he doesn't have it, what is he pretending.
Just as she was about to speak, Mama Qin had already stepped forward, her eyes lowered and she stood still, and her tone was respectful: "Ling Niangzi dislikes the low temperature, and the old slave can turn it up." β
Can it still be turned up?
The women are wonderful.
Ling Jiao handed over the stove, Mama Qin took it and twisted it a few times, and then sent it back, explaining: "This is the silver frost charcoal sent by the prince, the old slave is worried that the temperature is too high and it will burn the lady, so he took it upon himself to use the stove to lower the temperature, and asked Ling Niangzi not to blame." β
As soon as her words fell, Qin Zheng's face suddenly turned ugly, as if she had been slapped in the face.
Ling Jiao even looked at the stove and was distracted, it was rumored that the first queen was good at doing things, and she had made a stove that could adjust the temperature. There are seven layers in the furnace, which are covered layer by layer, which can be collected and placed, and the temperature can be adjusted.
This kind of stove was only made by the first queen and several of her big machine craftsmen, and the first queen died, and several big machine craftsmen were also martyred.
There are less than 10 stoves in the world.
I didn't expect her to be fated to meet her.
What an honor! Ling Jiao's heart was so sour that the prince of the world actually gave her such a precious thing.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and everyone looked away with interest, not daring to put any more pressure on Qin Zheng, but the more everyone was like this, the more embarrassed Qin Zheng became, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Lin Long's gaze fell on the small black furnace in Ling Jiao's hand, and it took a long time to identify it and confirm that it was really made by her own hands in her previous life.
She forgot to even make things herself, so sweaty!
After this incident, all the women stopped a lot, and everyone could see that the prince loved Lin Long very much, and no one dared to tease the tiger's beard. But they didn't go, some dared to go, and soon another uninvited guest appeared.
Seeing Han Qi, Mrs. Lin's face was a little bad, and she was not even very enthusiastic when she greeted Qian Le's mother, Mrs. Qian, this person obviously brought someone to smash the field, of course, there was no need to give her a good face.
Although Han Qi's appearance was a bit noisy and his expression was arrogant, there was no other excessive move. Slowly, Mrs. Lin also reassured, and secretly asked Mama Gu beside her to arrange for someone to pay attention to her, and she took the ladies to the main hall.
It is very affectionate for the little ladies to eat in the garden, but it would be rude to let the ladies also eat in the garden.
After Mrs. Lin left, Lin Long and Aunt Lin led the women to dinner.
All the women are from the rich family of poetry and books, and they are from the family of lile hairpins, and they don't look down on the Lin family's food at all, but they only come over to give Qin and the palace face, and they heard that this crab is rare, so they are a little interested.
Mi Fu also came over, and she was by Lin Long's side, which made it much easier for Lin Long to act, and some unruly noblewomen who believed in their identities had to give Mi Fu face even if they didn't look down on Lin Long.
"I love hairy crabs." Mi Fu's food table was placed next to Lin Long, with a pair of big watery eyes and a look of anticipation. She was born with a lovely jade snow, and she was young, white and tender, and she was very pitiful.
Seeing Mi Fu's look of expectation, Lu Wan smiled at her: "You often enter the palace, and you thought that crabs would get tired of it, but you didn't expect to be so greedy." β
Mi Fu's white and tender face was flushed, a little embarrassed, and he wrinkled his little nose and snorted: "The crab is cold, the Queen Mother doesn't like it, only when it is with the hat, can you eat a few bites." β
Lin Long was commanding the maid, and when he heard the word hat, his right hand trembled, and the whole person was stunned for a moment.
Aunt Lin noticed her abnormality and said with concern: "What's wrong?" β
As soon as she spoke, many nobles nearby turned their heads when they heard the sound, and Mi Fu also looked over.
Lin Long lowered his head, "It's okay." Then he looked at Mi Fu and said, "The county lord said that the princess likes crabs?" β
"yes." Mi Fu nodded, "Hat'er loves crabs the most, and I can eat a lot of them in one meal." β
Lin Long nodded: "It's a pity that the crab is cold, and it needs to be restrained." β
"Hey, when the third sister said that, I remembered it." Mi Fu frowned and pondered, "The hat has always shouted stomach pain these days, it turns out that it is cold, no, next time I enter the palace, I have to tell her, don't eat much." β
"Isn't there a discipline mama by the princess's side?"
As soon as Lin Long spoke, he saw everyone's eyes dodging, and the atmosphere was suffocated.
Although there are many people who don't know, the big families are all clear. It's no secret that Princess Jinyang is stupid and not favored.
Han Qi has never found fault, but he was calmed by Lin Long's demeanor and demeanor, and it was rare to have some inferiority. Now seeing that Lin Long didn't know this well-known thing in the world, he finally found some pride.
She glanced at Lin Long with disdain and spoke: "Sanniang is not good at Jingshi, I don't know, Princess Jinyang is a little special." β
"What's so special?" Lin Long asked.
Her expression was too anxious, completely different from the down-and-out generosity of her previous expression, which attracted everyone's attention to her.
Generally speaking, people with good manners, when they see that people speak with unfinished meanings, they are interested in closing their mouths and changing the topic. And Lin Long knew that royal affairs were not easy to discuss, so he actually asked questions regardless of his manners, which made everyone very curious.
Mi Fu was also very surprised, but she quickly remembered that the history books recorded that Empress Lin was very fond of Princess Jinyang. It's strange, could it be that Empress Lin cared about the hat very much before she met Princess Jinyang.
She secretly turned on the system and wanted to discuss it with everyone.
Mi Fu found that as long as you don't turn on real-time communication when there are many people, the system will not go black, and I think the system is not enough memory, or it is not perfect enough.
As soon as the system was turned on, there was a sound of chirping in my ears, and the words turned into cold electronic sounds, and I drilled into Mi Fu's ears in a rush of brains.
Because she didn't dare to turn on the big screen, she couldn't see everyone typing, she could only hear the voice.
Mi Fu's movement was relatively small, and Lin Long pounced on the hat again, not noticing a small fluctuation in the magnetic field.
Han Qi hesitated, although she was not smart, she still understood the basic truth, Princess Jinyang was stupid, and it was indecent to mention it in person.
After thinking about it, she said: "You have a lot of questions, don't you know if the royal family is not negotiable, it is really from a small place, I don't understand this." β
Lin Long didn't care what she said at all, she just wanted to know the situation of Mao'er, she was already 20 this year, why did she still live in the palace, why didn't she decline.
Although the Heavenly Girl descended later, it was too late to stay until 20.
Seeing that Lin Long was depressed, Han Qi was very proud, feeling that he was powerful enough, and his courage became more and more emboldened, and then he stabbed Lin Long twice.
Lin Longju was silent.
The women looked at Yi Qiqi in their eyes and gave Lin Long a soft comment in their hearts.
Mi Fu is talking to everyone about the guΓ² system over there.
"Wow, Empress Lin hasn't seen a hat, so she pays so much attention to her, is it fate?"
Reader Mo Xiao is very sensible: "I think it's suspicious. β
"yes." Reader Yuhou Tingyuan said: "The two must have something to do with each other. β
"What relationship? I haven't seen it at all, one is in Qi County, the other is in the palace, and the eight poles can't be beaten. β
"Actually, I have a suspicion." The reader spoke in a deep voice, as if he understood very well, "Don't you think it's strange, why is Empress Lin good to the hat, and she is as good at tricks as Empress Gu?" β
Mi Fu didn't feel it, it seemed to be very esoteric.
Bise continued: "I have a guess that Empress Lin and Empress Gu are inherited, that is to say, Empress Lin is Empress Gu's apprentice, or by chance, he got the secret of Empress Gu's organ, and he has been secretly worshipping Empress Gu in his heart. β
Everyone: "It makes sense." "Mary Sue Reborn
