Chapter 366: New Year's Money
"Son! What are you doing! ”
After King Qi opened the door, he first couldn't believe his eyes, and then he turned into anger, and stepped forward and kicked down his fourth son. Looking at his angry appearance, if his anger could be materialized, the fourth child of the Qi Palace's Mansion would have been burned to ashes at this time.
The next thing is very logical, although King Qi did not move the family law, he also caught his fourth son and beat him hard, almost half of the night. And in the face of his own Lao Tzu, Qingqing's fourth brother can only use three points even if he has ten points, not to mention that King Qi himself can be martial, at least stronger than him.
The fourth child of the Qi Wangfu was beaten up solidly this time, and after being beaten, he continued to be kneeling sadly, and he couldn't say anything to justify. Other people's New Year's celebrations, even the common people will eat snacks and drink tea with their families around the stove, only he was beaten hard, kneeling in the ancestral hall, and then accompanied the two tablets to celebrate the New Year alone.
And by the time Qingqing and Lin Yu learned about his miserable Chinese New Year's Eve, it was already the second day, that is, the first day of the first month, a new year. However, because King Qi and Qingqing had official titles, they had to enter the palace early in the morning to congratulate them, and they didn't pay attention to this matter. And because Qingqing's brothers are not princes, they don't have to get up and run before dawn, not to mention the other side concubines, there is no part of them in the official court.
Lin Yu is the same, he doesn't need to get up early to go to the palace to congratulate, he got up and washed up and changed his clothes and went to the hall to pay New Year's greetings with the other side concubines, and by the way, he received a few meager New Year's money. and then gave a few nephews and nieces to the children in the ranks. But she had something else to do, and after having breakfast, she returned to the old mansion and gave New Year's benefits to the staff.
She's a pretty generous employer. Therefore, when the maid and servant in new clothes gave Lin Yu a New Year's greeting, the smile on his face was obviously very sincere, and he invited everyone in the house to have dinner together, and told the steward a few words, to be safe, not to patronize and drink, and to do a good job in security at night. The steward answered one by one. I reported a few more small things and asked about the arrangements of a few things before it was over.
Because I have to go back to the Qi Palace's mansion for dinner in the evening. Lin Yu didn't stay in the old mansion for long, and went back after taking care of things. When she returned to King Qi's mansion, King Qi and Qingqing's father and daughter had already returned. Because the king of Qi went out too early in the morning, he did not pay New Year's greetings. As soon as Lin Yu returned home, he naturally wanted to go to greet King Qi for the New Year.
King Qi saw Lin Yu come in. With a smile on his face, after asking someone to help Lin Yu up, he called Lin Yu to his side, and the attendant next to him held a small box of red sandalwood, "See if you like it?" ”
Lin Yu took it and opened it to see that there were kumquat money and gold ingots on the left, two of each. That's six in total. It's not very big, but it's a lot of gold. Lin Yu picked one up, it was about five taels, although it was not very heavy, but it added up to almost thirty taels of gold, that is, three hundred taels, which was quite rich.
And the most important thing is not the weight, Lin Yu recognized that the money was a special gold coin made in the palace, one had been sold for ten taels of gold outside, and the other things were also made in the palace, which was very delicate and very valuable. Of course, Lin Yu couldn't sell these things casually, but the value was still there.
This thing is also very valuable, but the things placed in the grid next to it are obviously more valuable, and the right side is also divided into three grids, but it is not equal, respectively, a pair of large pearls, a pair of high-quality rubies, and a pair of jade phoenix hairpins.
"It's too precious!" Lin Yu was really taken aback, and some didn't want to accept it, if it was just a gold coin or something, the pair of high-grade rubies alone was worth four or five hundred taels, as well as pearls and jade hairpins.
"Take it, this is the first year you call my father, so naturally you have to be extra heavy, and you will be free in the future." King Qi smiled and said, "Or do you mean that you, a rich man, don't look down on me?" ”
"What did my father-in-law say?" Lin Yu immediately closed the box and held it in his hand, and said with a smile, "I'm just worried that you're generous now, Father, and I'll feel distressed later, since you said so, of course I won't refuse." ”
"This is, after all, it's also a family, don't be too polite." King Qi watched Lin Yu take the box, and Fang smiled and said, "Your sister Qingqing has also returned, you go over and see her." ”
Lin Yu knew that King Qi had a lot of things, so she didn't bother him much, Hengzhu was still a little time before the dinner began, and she was also discussing some things with Qingqing, so she left King Qi and went to the courtyard where Qingqing lived.
Qingqing was crooked on the soft couch, and when she saw Lin Yu coming in, she immediately complained, "I'm tired to death today, I went out early in the morning, and I barely ate anything in between." ”
"Have you eaten now?" Lin Yu said with a smile. "Do you want me to cook something for you?"
"Naturally, I ate, and I ate in the carriage." Qingqing said with some regret, "Speaking of which, I really want to eat the food you made yourself, and I haven't eaten it since I lived in the Qi Palace." ”
"When I have time, I'll make it for you." Lin Yu smiled, "Is there anything new in the palace today?" ”
"Nothing." Qingqing thought about it for a while and said, "But there is one thing that is worth paying attention to, today the queen asked Mrs. Lin about Zhang Wan'er, in front of everyone." ”
"Really? Empress Liu would ask about this? Lin Yu thought for a moment.
"It's not true, I can see it clearly, Mrs. Lin's face changed at that time." Qingqing nodded and said, "Could it be that the Zhang family doesn't want to come forward, through what channel did they find Queen Liu and let her talk about it?" ”
Lin Yu didn't see it that way, the Zhang family was afraid that they couldn't find such a high-level person, and most likely it was Yin Susu who started to deal with the matter after he freed up his hand. Speaking of which, the relationship between Empress Liu and Yin Susu seems to be quite complicated, but it must not be called bad, even if there is no emperor's instruction, it is not guaranteed that Yin Susu will beat Mrs. Lin through Empress Liu's channel.
"Don't talk about that." Qingqing was not at all interested in things that might improve Zhang Wan'er's situation, but turned her attention to other things, "I heard that the fourth brother was beaten up by his father last night? Have you heard? ”
"I haven't heard of it, but I'm back at the old mansion today." Lin Yu nodded, "Really?" Didn't you say that the punishment was to kneel? What's the big New Year's move? (To be continued......)
