8. Chapter VIII
Per cent...... Lin Hai couldn't help the ebb and flow of his heart, covered his mouth and hung his head silently: This is the kind of person who doesn't move at all......
At this moment, Xiao Jin sternly corrected and reminded him, "Have you paid attention to the eunuchs when you entered the palace?" They can have a number of jΓΉ on their shoulders. β
Lin Hai recalled carefully, he remembered that there were no numbers on the eunuch's shoulder, so he replied, "No." β
"Yes." "In my case, the average person doesn't show the number jΓΉ by default, and the same doesn't show it for men who don't have the potential to have children. β
Lin Hai couldn't help but hold his forehead again, "Are you reminding me that compared to this one-percent righteous and loyal king, there are many men who are hidden among ordinary people and are actually as active as eunuchs?" This tongue twister made Lin Hai want to pound the table and laugh wildly.
What is worse than not moving at all is that there is no capital to evaluate whether to move or not......
Xiao Jin hurriedly said: "You misunderstood what I meant!" I mean, it's a big task, and you can live many years after you finish it! β
"Oh?" Lin Hai immediately became curious, "How many years are you?" β
"He has a chance to be emperor! 10 years starting at ...... One top you several! β
"Got it." If he said that he was not impressed, it would be false, no matter how big Lin Hai's heart was, every time he saw the non-stop countdown of his life, he would ...... "Lift your spirits" and say, "I'll give it a try." β
There is no need for Xiao Jin to remind him, Lin Hai also knows that starting from the royal family, it is already difficult to make them willingly eat the recipe handed over by Xiao Jin, not to mention the princes who are born with "suspicious cancer".
Which is like Zhen Yingjia, who eats when he gives the recipe, and gets pregnant after eating...... In fact, the difficulty of the task is directly proportional to the reward of the task.
However, just as Lin Hai was "wandering outside the world", King Yizhong on the stairs deliberately raised his hand a little as if he had just seen Lin Hai, and asked the Nine Emperor Princes, "Xiao Jiu, who is behind you?" β
Of course, Lin Hai heard King Yizhong's words, and he consulted by the way, "Xiaojin, can you see if he is born or not born?" β
"Of course it's an acquired one." Xiao Jin muttered, "I have nothing to do and prepare a lot of materials. This deposed prince Yizhong King also has a daughter. β
It is said that King Yizhong should have been confined to his palace, but the saint remembered brotherhood and opened the net and allowed him to walk around the capital...... And when Lin Hai saw the number on King Yizhong's shoulder, he understood why the Holy Lord was so tolerant of his second brother.
Men who are between 10% and 40% active are just difficult to give birth, and the children they give birth to are not very healthy, but they are fundamentally different from "unable to give birth".
And with a vitality level of less than 10 percent, the doctors of this dynasty can already give a definite conclusion: you can't give birth! King Yizhong, who has already been sentenced to death in terms of descendants, has nothing to do, and of course the saint treats this brother as well as possible.
Everyone is willing to pin their heads to their waists and follow you ~ to rebel ~ not to ask for a flying yellow and prosperous son and a wife and son?
If the monarch does not have a biological heir, it means that it is difficult to pass on power and wealth...... That means that no one wants to follow such a lord ~ rebel ~ unless they really can't survive.
And now it's far from the people who can't live.
In short, Lin Hai thought that he was unlucky enough, but he still had the spirit to "pity" the deposed prince - it can be seen how miserable this highness is.
After arguing with Xiao Jin, Lin Hai hurriedly saluted, "Chen Lin Hai has seen the prince." said that he was in a hurry, but in fact he was very calm, and with his face that could not be disgusted no matter what......
King Yizhong lowered his eyes, "I haven't heard of it." After saying that, he turned his head and left.
The second uncle has been uncertain for many years, and it is easy to get out today...... The Nine Emperor Princes also sweated a little in the face of his second uncle's completely broken and freewheeling neuropathy, and he didn't forget to appease Lin Hai, "Second uncle, he ...... Lord Lin will hide and walk in the future. β
Lin Hai nodded solemnly.
The Nine Emperor Princes came to see Lin Hai specially to send favors for nothing: he told Lin Hai about the arrangement of the saints.
So Lin Hai knew that he was going to enter the household department soon...... Dealing with numbers day and night: dodging left and right or falling into the big pit of the household......
It's not that Lin Hai is afraid of being tired, but there are too many mountains in the household, and if you want to make achievements, you have to find a thigh to hug, otherwise you will wait to sit idle for a few years without real power, and finally fall into the middle and bottom of the evaluation.
Lin Hai roared in his heart at this moment: I regret it so much! Who's going to have mercy on me!
Xiao Jin heard Lin Hai's heart, and suddenly said, "You are much more cheerful than when you first wore it." β
"That's it." Lin Hai immediately returned to his normal state, "began to face reality and adapt to the environment...... All in all, I seem to feel a little bit of belonging. β
Xiao Jin hurriedly said: "Congratulations! β
"It's just that it's no longer drilling, and what is there to congratulate."
However, it was said that Lin Hai said goodbye to the Nine Emperor Princes, and got into his own carriage waiting on the side of the road after leaving Deyue Tower.
When his back rested on the familiar cushion, he snorted softly, "I'm tired." β
Daiyu thumped her father's legs, "Father, you look good." β
Lin Hai smiled and rubbed Daiyu's little head, "Father is going to be promoted, are you happy?" β
Daiyu blinked her eyes, and her subordinates kept moving, "But you are not so happy to look at it." β
Lin Hai hugged his daughter, "My intimate little padded jacket." β
Daiyu smiled and whispered, "Daddy." β
Lin Hai shook Daiyu's little shoulders, "Girl." β
Anyway, there was nothing to do on the road, and the father and daughter talked about themselves with "affection" - Daiyu told Lin Hai about what she had seen and heard in Rongfu, and also mentioned a little about her feelings for Baoyu......
Lin Hai also sighed with emotion when he heard this: This cheap girl is still emotionally attached to Baoyu. He was about to try to persuade him, when suddenly the carriage came to a halt......
And the coachman also whispered at the door at this time: "Master, the people from the Yizhong Palace's mansion are blocking the front." "The coachman is literate, so no one will be mistaken.
Lin Hai lifted the curtain of the carriage, made a gesture of "don't be impatient" to the entourage around the carriage, and then got off the carriage with a calm face.
He arched his hand at the luxurious carriage in front of him, "Does the prince have something to teach me?" β
In fact, this was quite polite, but King Yizhong also got out of the carriage and stared at Lin Hai for a while before saying, "Well, it just looks pleasing to your eyes." β
For King Yizhong, looking pleasing to the eye and looking unpleasant may be a treat.
Lin Hai had nothing to do, and asked again, "Does the prince have something to teach me?" β
King Yizhong snorted lightly and walked to Lin Hai with his hands behind his back, "I heard that you want to marry Wang Chan?" β
Calling other girls with their first and last names...... Wang Chan is also your cousin, right? When Lin Hai thought about it, his face brought out a few points.
But King Yizhong was amazingly keen, "I haven't married yet, you protect it first." Well, Wang Chan is okay, and her father's family is okay, but her sisters are annoying. β
Lin Hai smiled slightly, "Have you experienced it yourself?" This is less polite than the one just now. He looked at the golden embroidery on King Yizhong's cuffs, and was a little dizzy.
King Yizhong raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Yes." β
Lin Hai thought for a while, took a step closer and said softly, "Lord Wang, I can probably help you solve the most troublesome thing." β
King Yizhong's willow eyebrows were raised, "What do you know?!" Before the words fell, he suddenly reached out and clasped Lin Hai's throat.
Lin Hai's wrist flicked, and the silver light flashed, and there was an opening on the back of King Yizhong's hand, which was slowly oozing blood.
Lin Hai was a senior worker before the crossing, and he was also an amateur darts enthusiast who kept up with the pros.
King Yizhong's gaze shifted to his wound, "Ah, it's still red." β
Really......
Lin Hai sighed: It's the same as I guessed.
Xiao Jin couldn't help but worry, "You're too ...... Be brave. β
Lin Hai explained: "I can see that King Yizhong is not mentally normal, similar to the state of wandering between the rational and the irrational. To deal with this kind of person, playing cards unreasonably often has a miraculous effect. If I were facing the Nine Emperor Princes, I would definitely not do so. After all, I haven't lived long enough. By the way, Xiaojin, do you trust your instincts? Lin Hai smiled as he spoke, "King Yizhong is hesitating whether to believe me." I guess he'll give it a go, because he's pretty much nothing. β
Xiao Jin suddenly saw blood, "You persuaded me." But you know so much about the gambler's mentality, and it makes me a little uneasy. β
"One percent, it's unprecedented, don't forget that it's still you who lure ~ confuse ~ I said that the reward for completing the task is super high." Lin Hai's smile did not decrease, "I will probably block it once, and if I don't succeed, I will become benevolent." β
Kim spun around again, "You're going to make it." β
In response to Xiao Jin's words, King Yizhong stared at his wound and suddenly said, "What do you want?" β
Lin Hai rolled up his sleeves, "Pen and ink." β
King Yizhong turned back to his henchmen and said, "Give him pen and ink." β
King Yizhong was so neurotic that his entourage was used to it, but this time the conversation was still enough to make people's hearts beat. These people really wish that they were born with no ears - everyone knows what their prince cares about the most, and which part of the scales on his body is.
However, this Lord Lin not only mentioned it, but also ...... after mentioning it There is no, but their prince has suffered a small loss!
The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were in place, Xiaojin dictated, Lin Hai lifted the pen in one go, he didn't even wait for the ink to dry up, he put this thin piece of paper in the hands of King Yizhong, "You and the princess have a pair every day, and drink for half a month." Then he slowly spit out four words, "This is the deposit." β
King Yizhong stared at the names of the medicinal herbs on the notepaper, and he couldn't raise his head.
Lin Hai ignored him either, just waved his hand, "Farewell." Then he got into his own carriage.
The people of the Yizhong Royal Mansion did not hesitate and directly got out of the way.
Not to mention that the people in the Yizhong Mansion are a bit stupid, the entourage of the Lin Mansion is even more ...... I didn't know how to react, but mechanically followed the carriage home.
Lin Hai took in the bewildered appearance of the entourage, and sighed sincerely, "Sure enough, I'm still too young." β
However, Daiyu directly grabbed Lin Hai's arm, her face full of admiration, "Father is really ......" She didn't know what to say.
Lin Hai put away his domineering and cruel temperament to his daughter, and rubbed Daiyu's little face, "Scared? β
Daiyu let out a soft "um", and then her little head was pressed against Lin Hai's shoulder.
It's good to have a girl!
Lin Hai's heart was instantly soothed.
Back at home, the father and daughter had eaten, and Lin Da and Bao Huaishang came in with a large pile of account books - Lin Hai wanted to prepare the dowry for Daiyu, and the rest of the family property would be carefully counted and registered, and all the money would be handed over when the new hostess arrived.
Daiyu will be twelve in the New Year, and she should learn to manage the accounts. Lin Hai was also waiting for the appointment of the household department, so he also wanted to find some account books to practice.
When the father and daughter got together, they simply settled the accounts in the study.
In the blink of an eye, the hour hand of the table clock pointed to eight, and Lin Hai urged Daiyu to prepare to wash and sleep, but before he finished speaking, Ai Lu came to "disturb", "Master, big girl, I heard that the second master of Rongfu Bao is not very good." The old lady of Rongfu sent someone to pick up the eldest girl, and asked the eldest girl to come over. β
The Lin Mansion and the Rong Mansion were quite close, and Lin Hai was willing to inquire, so he knew almost all of Baoyu's movements for half a day.
said that Baoyu was demented and made a fool of himself in public, Jia Zheng was angry, and pressing his son on the stool was a stinky beating, but the beating was over, and Baoyu was completely stunned.
Originally, when I was sick, I just wanted to see Sister Lin, and everything else was still answered, but now my father has beaten me...... There was no response when he spoke, but he still remembered to see Sister Lin and did not allow Sister Lin to leave.
At this point, I can't even pour the potion.
Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang were so anxious that they had to send someone to invite Daiyu over at night.
Lin Haixin said what to do with my daughter, if you want to save Baoyu, you have to come forward with a lame Taoist and a leper monk. However, just when he had the heart to refuse, Daiyu looked at him with a blank eye, and Lin Hai could only swallow all the words of refusal into his stomach.
Lin Hai said helplessly: "Daddy loses, Daddy will accompany you." β
Daiyu stretched out her little arm and grabbed Lin Hai's arm again, "Let's go now, shall we?" β
What else could Lin Hai do?
By the way, the feet of the Son of Heaven ...... There is no curfew in the capital.
From the doorway of his house to the Rong Mansion, it took only half an hour. Rongfu Menzi saw that it was Lin Hai who arrived, and hurriedly opened the door. The mother-in-law who was waiting here in the door was carrying a lantern, and after seeing the ceremony, she invited Lin Hai's father and daughter to a soft sedan chair and rushed all the way to Jia's mother's courtyard - at this time, Baoyu was still living in Jia's mother's warm pavilion.
When Lin Hai's father and daughter arrived at the place, they found that Sister Jia Lianfeng, as well as Sanchun and Baochai Xiangyun were all there...... It was as if he didn't see Shangbaoyu's side, and he would never see him again.
However, Daiyu arrived, and Baoyu seemed to recognize Sister Lin, but she only grabbed Daiyu's hand while continuing to shout nonsense.
Lin Hai was speechless: Don't say that Mrs. Jia Zhengwang panicked at this time, even Jia's mother wiped her tears.
He sighed lightly, "I remember that the piece of spirit jade that accompanies Baoyu is very strange. β
Daiyu reacted the fastest, and directly turned the Tongling Baoyu out from under Baoyu's pillow and stuffed it directly into Baoyu's hand. Tongling Baoyu started, and Baoyu lowered his eyes slightly...... It was immediately quiet.
Lin Hai's eyelids jumped: My daughter actually knows what is in a man's bed......
Xiao Jin persuaded in time, "This ...... The daughter is not a father, and the children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren...... You...... Condolences? β
Lin Hai smiled, "This festival mourning is used too precisely. β
At this moment, suddenly a Buddha horn came into everyone's ears. Lin Hai smiled again, "The savior is here." In the inner house, you can hear the monk's Buddha's name...... There must be something strange about this master. β
Lin Hai's words convinced everyone at once.
When the "savior" appeared, Lin Hai also put his mind at ease: there was no doubt that he was a leper monk.
However, the monk clasped his hands together, ignored Baoyu when he entered the door, and said sincerely to Lin Hai, "The donor has merit, and please think twice about everything, don't let down this opportunity." β
Lin Hai nodded, and said seriously, "Borrow the master's auspicious words." β
The monk's words did not surprise the people present: after all, these people have long regarded Lin Hai as an arm and a nobleman...... This monk said that Lord Lin has merit, isn't it just that he can be a high-ranking official?
The leper monk smiled slightly, and immediately walked to Baoyu's bed, only brushing it lightly on the psychic jade in Baoyu's hand. Lin Hai intuitively felt that the golden light was shining in front of him, and then he saw that the people around him looked like they were waking up like a dream, and the monk was nowhere to be found.
Lin Hai was also idle, and suddenly he "loved" the great monk of the family: for the sake of the Shenying attendant and the Tiantian Stone, this monk and Taoist priest are almost going to break their legs......
It's okay if it's sweet, and it's clear that people are ...... Not so reluctant......
After Lin Hai's self-brainstorming, he decided to take Daiyu to do some good deeds, and not focus on being a rice worm like Baoyu. There is a saying that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, so Lin Hai planned to ...... Why don't you try to repair the canal of your own Zhuangzi and dig a few wells?
