If the living room in the outer courtyard of the Taiping Marquis Mansion has not been used for a long time, then the living room in the inner courtyard has been vacant for a long time. Hou Ye suddenly said that he wanted to use it, which really made the people busy for a while, but fortunately, he was not lazy on weekdays, and all the work that should be done was done.

Hurry up, everyone finally finished busy before the housekeeper brought the guests to the backyard, and dispersed one after another, Lin Nuo entered the hall to sit down, and the young peace arrived. The maid served tea for the two, and then retreated according to the order, leaving the Taiping Marquis and Lin Nuo in the hall, sitting facing each other, holding weak tea, and looking at each other speechlessly.

After a long time, the tea in my hand has lost its temperature. Taiping Hou put down the tea bowl and asked lightly:

"Lord Lin is visiting at night, why do you want to do it?"

"Xiaguan ......"

"Having said that, after Lord Lin entered Beijing to report on his work, Ben Hou has not sent anyone to congratulate the Lord on his smooth career and re-promotion, which is really rude."

"Master Hou is busy, no problem. Xiaguan visited today......"

"Busy? Ben Hou has neither authority nor military power in his hands, but he is an idle marquis, where can you be busy with your adults, and you have all the opportunities? I didn't even have the time to visit the officials. ”

Lin Nuo also put down the teacup in his hand and touched his beard with a smile: "Master Hou finally got to the point?" He paused and continued, "Xia Guan Gang was still thinking about when Hou Ye added the fault of those poor and sour literati, and he talked around and around, and he didn't get to the point for a long time. ”

"Okay, you Lin Qianjin, you dare to turn around and scold Ben Hou for being poor and sour, looking for you!" The Marquis of Taiping raised his eyebrows and shouted.

Lin Nuo's words are important, but his old friends, whether they are Taiping Marquis or Huang He, never call him that, but take the meaning of a promise and a thousand gold, and joke about him as "Lin Qianjin", this nickname sounds like "Ling Qianjin" at first glance, and it makes these "bad friends" use it happily.

Lin Nuo was not offended. only smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter if you kick it or not, as long as Master Hou doesn't treat me for the following crimes." ”

"Bastard!"

As soon as the scolding with laughter fell, he saw the Taiping Marquis on the opposite side jump up from the chair and rush over and hug Lin Nuo's shoulder. shook back and forth a few times, and shouted as he shook: "I haven't come to the door for so long, I thought you forgot about Lao Tzu!" ”

"Don't make a fuss," Lin Nuo said with a smile as he pulled his arm away from his throat. "Lao Lu, I'm here to get down to business."

Seeing that he abandoned the vain titles of "Hou Ye, Xiaguan", An Lu reacted, put down his arm and said, "What's the matter?" He curled his beard, "For the sake of Miss Su?" Then he snorted coldly and sat back again, "Because she only worked for our Lord Lin, I knew that Ben Hou had already brought her into the mansion, and I didn't have to wait for so many days." ”

"Yes. I haven't come to the door since I returned to Beijing, this is what I did inappropriately, I'm sorry for you. ”

Lin Nuo said that he straightened his face, solemnly bowed to An Lu, and the bluffed An Lu jumped up again and scolded: "Bah! Lao Tzu is not dead yet! What do you worship? ”

"But, one yard is one yard, you rashly brought Su Yatou back to the house today, this matter is not proper, I will definitely come to talk to you." Lin Nuo's attitude became fast. One moment he was still standing in place, apologizing apologetically, and the next moment he was sitting in his chair, rightly accusing him.

"You!" An Lu was angry and laughing. simply spread his hands and said, "Yes, I have never been able to take care of Lin Qianjin, let's say, what I did was wrong, at least I didn't shout everywhere that she was the daughter of the crane." And what he said, 'He is very close to his ministers, and he will surely marry his sons and daughters.'" Later, he began to imitate Linno's tone in a strange tone.

Lin Nuoxuan frowned: "Where did you hear this?" ”

An Lu was slightly stunned, and then as if he thought of something, he said forcefully: "What do you want to say?" I don't believe you don't know, this matter will only flow out with the acquiescence of the emperor," he looked at Lin Nuo, "The emperor is probing your truth." ”

"Of course I know this, what I'm talking about," Lin Nuo's gaze was fixed on An Lu's face for a moment, noticing the change in his expression, "Why do you even know what I said so clearly?" Seeing An Lu's dodgy gaze, he blurted out, "You inserted a nail in the palace?" He stood up and shouted in a low voice, "You are bold enough that your hands are stretched out to the emperor's side?" ”

An Lu's face was embarrassed, his beard trembled, but he still said stiffly: "Don't talk nonsense, I am loyal to the saint." ”

Seeing that his old face was purple, like an orange peel, his face had trembled for a long time, and the folds were even more numerous, Lin Nuo was helpless and funny, waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" Cease! If you don't want to say, then I won't ask," he walked to An Lu and sat down, and persuaded in a serious tone, "If you can get out, get out as soon as possible, if you wait until the emperor notices......"

"You've been gone for sixteen years, and the crane is even more ...... Alas," An Lu sighed dejectedly, holding his forehead with his hand, "I am also dying alone, and I can't make any big waves." ”

Old friends in the past are really "old" now, Lin Nuo looked at him and thought about himself, he felt a little sad in his heart, and reached out to pat An Lu's shoulder: "Don't be discouraged, aren't I coming back, from now on, you will no longer be alone." ”

“…… Don't worry, I've been slowly getting rid of it in the past few years, and there are not a few people left in the palace," An Lu raised his eyes to look at Lin Nuo, "Besides, that demon girl has fascinated the minions in her palace, and all of them are looking at her, my subordinates are not active, and there has been no news for a long time." ”

"That demon girl," Lin Nuo chewed on these four words, with a hollow look on his face, "Who would have thought that the fan girl who was originally presented to the emperor as a tribute, a plaything, could stir up such a big incident," he glanced at An Lu, "It's not because of her ...... that she insisted on asking her daughter to marry that kid from the Dongfang family."

"Because of what?" An Lu glared and scolded, "Even if I don't have this stubble, I don't want to divorce and marry to Dongfang's family, pour tea and water for Dongfang Yun's kid, kowtow and ask for peace," Thinking of his daughter's infatuation, his heart spontaneously ignited with rage, "Who knows if that kid seduced Lili, whether he was instructed by his father, fortunately, he knew that he was lost, and broke off with that kid," he snorted and said, "Hey, what's the matter with you, you made a case of your children's relatives for nothing, how did I not know that Hezi married his daughter to your son?" ”

"You forgot? That year, we entered Yunnan, and we couldn't find that ghost 'Feitian', and I almost put my life into it, but fortunately I was saved by Qianqian," Lin Nuo said and took a sip of tea from his teacup, and said, "That was the first time the crane saw Qianqian, and he was drunk that night, and he pulled us to say that he had found his daughter-in-law, and insisted on marrying me." In order to coax him to go to bed early and not make trouble, didn't I agree? ”

"That's right!" An Lu was overwhelmed, and shouted unconvinced, "At that time, Sister Zhen'er is going to recruit a son-in-law, and Hezi has taken a fancy to your grandson as a son-in-law, right?" ”
