Chapter 252: The Pit
Huo Yuan didn't expect that just by resting here for a while, he would see such an interesting picture, from the moment this girl appeared, he noticed her, he thought that he would not be rude, how did he know that she would lay out this game so cunningly, he didn't know what her purpose was for doing this, but after seeing that the man who was following her had bad intentions, he naturally hid aside and watched the show.
Of course, he also thought that if this cunning woman couldn't succeed, he would also help, in the end, the treacherous look in the man's eyes was disliked, but obviously he didn't have the opportunity to save the beauty heroically, at this time he touched his nose, it was really boring.
The girl in front of him was dressed in flamboyant red, she looked very fierce, her appearance was extremely thoughtful, it could be said to be a rare beauty, but she looked very young, according to his eyes, she couldn't just reach it, no wonder the obscene man would want to beat her idea. Her appearance vaguely made him feel like someone, but he couldn't remember who she looked like for a while.
Lin Qi looked at him coldly, where did the cat and dog come from? Naturally, she didn't miss the man's gaze at her, she snorted from her nose, she stretched out her slender jade finger and pointed at Li Xingui in the pit, and said disdainfully: "Are you going to help him?" ”
Huo Yuan felt that this woman was really interesting, so he leaned on the big tree behind him with his hands in a circle, and said comfortably: "Yes and what, no and what?" ”
The sneer on Lin Qi's face was closed, and he squinted and said: "If you don't want to be nosy, then hurry up and get rid of this girl immediately, if so......" He paused deliberately, and said in a long voice: "Then don't blame this girl for being unkind and want to send you down to be his companion." "Anyway, it's just right for a lewd man to be a companion together, so as not to harm others again
"Oh?" Huo Yuan raised one eyebrow lightly, completely ignoring the threat of this girl.
Although I didn't see who dug this pit, it was obvious that the girl in front of her was not a practitioner at first glance, and those arms didn't even have half of the arm strength of the woman at the border gate, how could she have the ability to dig such a big pit?
"You don't believe it?" Lin Qi glared at him fiercely.
Huo Yuan looked at her with a smile, "Don't talk so rudely in the girl's family, be careful that you can't get married, and besides, it's important for me to believe or not to believe the girl?" ”
"Whew!" Lin Qi's temperament is anxious, and her anger is also fast, and she has a little hatred for the man in front of her who is ridiculing her, so she puts her hand on her waist to make the teapot shape, "If you want your dog to meddle with a mouse, what can this girl do if she marries or not?" ”
Huo Yuan looked at her pretty face with anger, even this summer day was discolored, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, he hadn't seen such an interesting girl's house for a long time, and a few words with her seemed to be able to cool off.
Just as he was about to respond, he heard someone behind him shouting, "Master-"
This is his little servant Hanguang, he squinted slightly and turned his head to respond.
How did I know that Lin Qi would be in trouble at this time, I saw her pretty figure move, she was not a delicate daughter pampered in the boudoir, sometimes when the workshop of the Jade Skin Workshop was not manpowered, she still had to go into battle to grind powder and mix rouge, these are all physical work, but she was born with slender bones and did not look strong.
At this point, she and her sister Lin Long are both with their mother Quan Meihuan, in fact, if you look closely at their mother and daughter, the blood relationship cannot deceive people, of course, the eldest sister Lin Long's appearance Xiao Father Lin is a little more.
Huo Yuan was inadvertently pushed by Lin Qi, only to find that she seemed to be weak, but her arms were still a little strong, so he lost his balance for a while, and was actually pushed into the deep pit by her to be with Li Xingui.
When he fell to the bottom of the pit, he was also slightly stunned, he was famous on the battlefield, and if his enemy knew that he was plotted by a weak woman because of his carelessness, he was afraid that he would laugh off other people's big teeth.
Lin Qi looked at him with a smile, and even kicked a few feet of sand into the pit, Huo Yuan looked at her with a straight face, what a girl who made him look away, he Huo Yuan remembered her.
"Look at what, be careful that this girl digs out your tricks." Lin Qi threatened, and slapped his hand vigorously, glaring at Huo Yuan in the pit.
Huo Yuan looked at her villain's smug smile, and couldn't help laughing, he didn't care about a weak woman so stingy, "Only villains and women are difficult to raise, and the master is honest and doesn't deceive me." ”
"This tongue of yours is really a bane, and you have to cut it off and soak it in wine." Lin Qi replied sharply.
The two of them were arguing one pit after another, Huo Yuan was not in a hurry to get out, anyway, he didn't look at such a shallow pit.
On the other hand, Li Xingui was completely ignored by the two, he originally injured his waist bone when he fell to the bottom of the pit, and now he was even more faintly painful, seeing that Lin Qi didn't look at him at all, he hurriedly said: "Sister Qi, you quickly pull me up, my brother will be grateful to you for the rest of his life......"
"You shut up for me, who wants your gratitude? And don't call me Sister Qi, who is your sister, I only have a younger brother and no brother. Lin Qi replied sharply.
Li Xingui hurriedly shouted a few times, hoping that Lin Qi would be soft-hearted.
"Girl, girl......"
Lin Qi heard the urgent cry of his maid Xiyu, so he glared at the two people in the pit, and then lifted the hem of his skirt and hurriedly ran to meet the maid.
Li Xingui saw that Lin Qi was really gone, and this time he knew that he was in trouble, so he hurriedly called loudly: "Sister Qi, you come back-"
As a result, the voice was heard, but the pretty shadow never appeared again.
Huo Yuan frowned, and with a slight effort, he got out of this deep pit in three or two clicks.
"This brother, save me, this brother, don't go-" Li Xingui hurriedly called him loudly when he saw Huo Yuan get out of the pit so easily, but of course the result was in vain.
He sat at the bottom of the pit in frustration, looked up at the top of the high pit, he was a farmer, not a practitioner, he really couldn't go up, and suddenly his face was bitter.
Huo Yuan went to chase Lin Qi on the top of the pit, he couldn't let this little girl trap him like this, but he had just chased him out for a while, and when he saw her flamboyant red clothes, there was a hurried call from behind him, "Master-"
He frowned, probably because something had happened.
Glancing at Lin Qi's figure getting farther and farther away, he turned around and rushed to the place where the little guy made a call, after all, he didn't bring his cronies when he returned to Beijing this time, he only took such a little guy Hanguang on the road lightly.
Lin Qi on the other side glanced back, she thought that someone was staring at her, she thought it was the annoying man, how did she know that there was nothing behind her? Also, the pit is close to three meters, and there is no rope, how can he get up?
"Girl, what are you looking at?" Xiyu also looked curiously, "Aunt Xin has done everything you ordered, let's go back now, so that the villain will suffer at the bottom of the pit." ”
She doesn't like this Li Jialang either, and she dares to beat her girl's idea with such a good look? Don't pee and see what kind of thing you are? The girl in her family is going to marry into a high-ranking family to be a grandmother, just like the eldest girl.
"Nothing." Lin Qi turned around and continued through the woods back to the carriage.
Aunt Xin and the guards were waiting for her, and she approached and said, "Aunt Xin, did you lead away Li Xingui's little girl?" ”
"Don't worry, girl, he's suffering over there, and he won't be able to get down to the ground for two hours." Aunt Xin said with a straight face, but if you look closely, you can see the hidden smile on her face.
Li Xingui's little servant was set a trap by her, and now her feet are tied to the tree, and then she takes a knife and gently cuts it on the rope, calculating the time, if the rope is broken for about two hours, it is enough for the master and servant of the Li family to suffer a hardship.
"That's good, I don't think he dares to eat swan meat if he wants toads." Lin Qi sneered.
"It's getting late, girl, we've been out for a long time, it's time to go back." Xiyu reminded.
Lin Qi nodded, and was helped into the carriage by the maid Xiyu.
Aunt Xin got into the carriage with one hand in one hand, and after getting into the carriage, the carriage set off quickly, leaving Li Xingui's master and servant behind.
Lin Qi lifted the curtain slightly and looked at the dense forest behind him, and after there was nothing unusual, he was completely relieved.
She turned her head to Aunt Xin and said, "Aunt Xin, you can't tell my sister about this, otherwise she will be verbose again." ”
Aunt Xin smiled and nodded very happily.
Lin Qi leaned on the cushion and closed his eyes to recuperate, hoping that after Li Xingui learned a lesson, he would not provoke her again in the future.
Xiyu served her a bowl of tea and said with a smile: "This Li family has been unlucky recently, and now they are in a hurry, I don't know when they will find out the whereabouts of Li Xingui?" ”
"It doesn't matter when they find out, as long as they don't die, anyway." Lin Qi didn't care about the authenticity.
This is also the reason why she asked Aunt Xin to do her hands and feet on the rope, the little guy will fall down after two hours, he is bought by Lin Lu's family and given to the Li family, he signed the deed of sale, he will definitely go to find the master, he will definitely find Li Xingui's whereabouts, if he doesn't have the ability to save Li Xingui out, then go back to the city to move the rescue soldiers to the Li family.
No matter how it is calculated, this Li Xingui will not die, so she has no worries, anyway, she doesn't want to kill anyone, she just wants to teach Li Xingui a lesson.
At this time, Lin Long didn't know about the good things her sister had done, so she just pushed Li Xingui into the pit, and inexplicably provoked Huo Yuan's plague god, otherwise she would have arrested her sister and beaten her ass.
At this time, Lin Lushi sat opposite Lin Long again, "Sister Long, you will make a deal with Erniang, right?" I will send their family out of Beijing and go back to the countryside, and they will never be allowed to set foot in the capital again. ”
Lin Long plucked the tea residue lightly, and looked up at Lin Lu's anxious face, "Erniang, what if they regret it?" This capital is prosperous everywhere, are they really willing? In my opinion, let's leave it at that. ”
Lin Lu had always known that Lin Long was very stubborn, but if she didn't experience it more deeply this time, she said, "I asked them to sign the knot, if they broke their promises, then I will break off with them, and never recognize this relative again, and they don't want to get a son from me." ”
Strictly speaking, she is still not the daughter of the Li family, after all, she has not had time to go to the family tree, it is just because she cares about that blood relationship that she will accept the Li family first.
Lin Long pondered for a while, sighed and held Lin Lu's hand, "Erniang, I'm not forcing you, whether it is now or in the future, I respect you as always, this family is a bloodsucking leech, they are willing to squeeze you dry before they give up." Seeing Lin Lu's reddened eyes, she said again, "Erniang, you go and ask them to sign the knotting letter, it will naturally be easy to do." ”
This is the first time she has let go of the meeting to settle this qiē for the Li family.
When Lin Lu got this sentence, he didn't sit for a long time, and quickly got up and went to his mother's family again, asking them to sign a knot and give it to Lin Long.
Lin Long personally sent Lin Lushi downstairs this time, and watched her go away, so he breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go upstairs.
Ye Xuyao was walking over at this moment, "Mother-in-law went back?" ”
As soon as Lin Long heard his voice, he hurriedly turned around and walked to his side, "When did you come back?" It doesn't let people pass it on. ”
"I've been back for a while, but I saw my mother-in-law talking to you, so I didn't bother you, how about it? The affairs of the Li family have all been resolved? ”
"It's seventy-seven, eighty-eight, I plan to drive them back to Beijing in the next two days, as for that Li Xincai, let him eat in prison for another year and a half, I have to see if the Li family is really safe before I can release him."
"Whatever you want, you can do whatever you want."
Lin Long smiled and went upstairs side by side with her husband, "That's right, fortunately, it's also me, if it's really someone who cares about their family, I'm afraid they will be more than so miserable." ”
This family is simply greedy, and besides, men become bad when they are rich, so it is so easy to make their family unlucky.
"Don't spend all your energy on irrelevant people, they're not worth it." Ye Xuyao glanced at her and said, it is better to spend energy on him and his son.
Lin Long suddenly smiled more gently and brightly when he heard this, reached out to grab his arm, lifted the curtain and went in.
Back in the inner room, she changed her husband's clothes, "I heard that the Ninth Prince was really sentenced to beheading?" ”
Ye Xuyao said indifferently: "This punishment is quite light, because he has no wife and no children, so his concubines and attendants will be relegated to the sect department, and the saint will still have clear rewards and punishments." "At least not in a row.
Lin Long sighed, "If this good prince is not right, he will rebel, and this is also his own fault." ”
It seems that the emperor is really determined to take the life of the ninth prince, otherwise how could it be beheaded? Giving a three-foot white silk or a glass of wine can also send the Nine Princes to the Western Heavens, but I am afraid that there will be Nine Princes' henchmen or the Queen Mother who will secretly do tricks and feet to wear a peach and wear a stiff, so it is better to behead directly to prevent someone from secretly doing tricks and feet.
Ye Xuyao was noncommittal, this was a common thing in the Heavenly Family. Besides, he has made meritorious contributions in this matter, so now he has been transferred to the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, which is the official position of Zheng Sanpin, which is two levels higher than his original official position.
This transfer is obviously a promotion, so Ye Zhong's often says in private that his daughter-in-law is a prosperous husband, and at Ye Xuyao's age, the speed of this promotion is still extremely fast.
Suddenly, the prestige of the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion rose to a higher level, the old Marquis Ye was old, Ye Ming was not successful, and the other concubines of the Ye family were divided into a few rooms, in this case, Ye Xuyao was obviously the pillar of the Ye family.
Lin Long already had many titles, but now she naturally added another title, and she didn't care much about it, anyway, as long as her husband was reused, she would be relieved.
"By the way, you can invite that Imperial Doctor back to the house another day."
Hearing his wife mention Zhang Quangong, Ye Xuyao frowned, "What are you looking for him to do?" Are you feeling unwell somewhere? In the end, his tone was even tighter, and he hurriedly pulled Lin Long up and down to check.
The good days of their husband and wife are still ahead, even if Lin Long is still very young, he can't be careless.
Lin Long patted his chest and comforted him: "Don't be nervous, I'm very good, I called him here, first, let him check you again, what kind of medicine will you take at that time?" Second, I also want to ask about the sixth uncle and six aunts by the way, and now the sixth aunt has no good news, and she said that she is not in a hurry, which can be imagined in her heart. ”
Ye Xuyao scratched the bridge of her pretty nose and breathed a sigh of relief: "Didn't you say that you don't want to conceive a child for the time being?" ”
"Ting'er and Hui'er are still young, I'm not in a hurry, but I can't let it go." Lin Long thought that it would be up to God to decide, but he was afraid that there would be something wrong with the medicine prescribed by Imperial Doctor Zhang to her husband, so it was better to ask clearly.
"Whatever you want, I'll make an appointment with him another day." Ye Xuyao said, "By the way, Kaishi said that he would set up a banquet for our couple, so you can make preparations then." ”
As soon as Fu Nian was mentioned, Lin Long frowned, and couldn't help but think of Ye Man'an, this time when he came back to see Ye Man'an, he was a lot quieter, and there was a slight sadness between his eyebrows, it seemed that life was not going well, but the affairs between husband and wife were the most taboo for others to interfere indiscriminately, so she didn't open her mouth to ask.
"When the time comes, let him summon the third aunt and grandmother as well."
Ye Xuyao nodded, even if he didn't mention it, it was estimated that Fu Nian would bring the third sister, after all, there had to be a female relative to greet his wife, and the third sister had always been good friends with his mother.
When Lin Long mentioned Ye Man'an, he would think of Ye Manning, "I didn't expect my mother-in-law to marry her second sister-in-law to a small official's family as a wife, so it's okay, it's also your sister-in-law, so the scene won't be too ugly." ”
During the time she came back, Ye Manning only came back once, but looking at her look, she should be very mixed up in her husband's family, after all, with the Hou Mansion as the backing, her husband's family didn't dare to really bully her, it is estimated that it is a little difficult to be rich and expensive, and there is still a small wealth.
"My mother has always been a concubine, and it depends on whether they have the spirituality to strive for the top." Ye Xuyao didn't care about the authenticity.
Walking out of the warm pavilion with his wife, he saw the two nurses coming in with their two boys in their arms, and the lines on his face suddenly softened a lot.
He stretched out his hand and took the two sons.
Ye Yaoting hugged his father's neck and called, "Dad." ”
Ye Yaohui was not to be outdone, and called more, "Daddy." ”
This is the first time that Daddy Ye Xuyao heard this, and he was immediately overjoyed, and emotionally dropped a kiss on the faces of the two, "Good boy, you will call your father." ”
Lin Long watched with a smile on the side that their father and son were close, and it was in vain that she taught them the word "father" every day, just to make them happy with Ye Xuyao.
After getting close to his sons for a while, he sat on the Luohan bed and let the two sons sit on his lap on one side, "Their first birthday banquet is coming, let's give Huo Yuan a post." ”——
Off topic –
There are two shifts tonight, and it is estimated that it will be more available after eleven o'clock.
