The study was brightly lit, and in order to carefully appreciate Gu Kaizhi's "Luo Shen Futu" sent by Xue Yu, Lin Chunqiu specially ordered someone to light a few more candlesticks. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The painting was spread out on the bookcase, and Lin Chunqiu had already read it carefully three times in a row.

He is a person who loves calligraphy and painting, and over the years, whenever he hears that there are authentic masterpieces that he has not collected, he will not hesitate to ask for them.

Lin Jiaying also followed Lin Chunqiu in this regard, and loved calligraphy and painting.

Lin Jiaying rolled up his sleeves, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and exclaimed, "Gu Gong's painting is really exquisite, you see the Luo Shen in this painting has a flowing belt, and his demeanor is calm, it is really expressive." ”

Xue Yu said, "What's more, if you look at the colors and lines, it will be a masterpiece at first glance." ”

Lin Jiaying nodded.

Lin Chunqiu put down the candlestick in his hand and withdrew his gaze from the flower.

He knew in his heart that Xue Yu must have ulterior motives for sending such a precious painting, so he hadn't thought about it before he accepted or rejected this painting.

"The painting is a masterpiece." Lin Chunqiu turned around and sat down on the Taishi chair next to the bookcase, and took the opportunity to point to the painting, "Jiaying, put the painting away first." ”

Lin Jiaying put away the painting and put it on the lattice of the bookshelf.

Lin Chunqiu called the maid to pour hot tea again, "I've been looking at the painting for a long time, sit down and drink tea!" ”

Xue Yu took advantage of the situation to sit in the position where Lin Chunqiu started, and Lin Jiaying sat in the position by the window.

After the three of them sat down, no one spoke, and after drinking tea in a row, Xue Yu couldn't help but speak first, "The little son-in-law has something to say, I don't know whether to ask or not." ”

"Why don't you ask?" Lin Chunqiu took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Aren't we a family?" If you have anything to ask me, you can say it, and I will answer you if I know, and if I don't know, we can discuss it. ”

Xue Yu smiled with a sigh of relief, "What my father-in-law said is that my little family is angry." His eyebrows jumped, and he continued, "Father-in-law, you have never been involved in the affairs of several princes, but now that you have been promoted to the right minister, you can't help but participate in the affairs of the princes, right?" ”

When Lin Jiaying heard this, she immediately coughed dryly.

For such a thing as prince disputes, the Lin family has always avoided it.

"The matter of a few princes?" Lin Chunqiu looked at Xue Yu slowly, although he looked slow and reasonable, his eyes became more profound, "You mean to ask me to support that prince?" ”

Lin Chunqiu simply made his words clear.

In this way, Xue Yu felt a little embarrassed, and coughed several times in a row.

Lin Jiaying glanced at him and just shook his head.

Lin Chunqiu said with a clear attitude, "The emperor's affairs are in the hands of the emperor, don't say that I am the right minister now, that is, give me another title of left minister, I still say this." After a pause, he said meaningfully, "Heavenly affairs, I and other mortals, I will not get involved." ”

Although Xue Yu had expected that Lin Chunqiu would play Tai Chi with him on this issue, he didn't expect that he would be rejected so quickly.

Xue Yu was unwilling, coughed dryly, and said, "Father-in-law's words are wrong, although this is a matter of heaven, and it is not easy for mortals to interfere, but the emperor will eventually grow old one day, and the little princes will have to experience it sooner or later, as a courtier, shouldn't they choose a prince who has both ability and political integrity and cares about the people?" ”

Lin Chunqiu actually laughed after hearing this, and while laughing, he blew the foam on the tea bowl with his hand, and said, "If there is really a prince who has both virtue and ability and cares for the people, I believe that the emperor will be able to see it, and he must have a ruler in his heart." ”

Lin Chunqiu's words made Xue Yu suspicious.

Could it be that what did the emperor say to Lin Chunqiu when he was at the banquet today? Or, the emperor already has a clear goal in mind to establish a successor?

Xue Yu suddenly felt anxious.

As soon as he was scorched, his fingers couldn't help but tap the edge of the tea bowl lightly.

The celadon tea bowl immediately made a tinkling sound, which was really abrupt in the dark night.

"That'...... Did the emperor mention that the prince had both ability and political integrity and cared for the people? Xue Yu still raised his eyes to look at Lin Chunqiu unwillingly, and asked this question.

Lin Chunqiu smiled and shook his head.

Lin Jiaying was afraid that Xue Yu would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said, "At the banquet today, the emperor didn't say much, but he mentioned that Queen Su's body has not been good recently, and that the four or five imperial doctors have not been very good, and the emperor also mentioned the four ......princes."

As soon as he heard the three words of the fourth prince, the expression on Xue Yu's face immediately became serious.

Lin Jiaying continued, "The emperor said that the four princes have grown up a lot after this relief of the victims, although there was an unpleasant relationship between him and the eldest prince before, but after the ban is enough, he has been studying and reflecting diligently, and the emperor seems to be very pleased. ”

When Xue Yu heard this, the expression on his face finally relaxed a lot, and the corners of his mouth slowly smiled.

Lin Jiaying secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, Xue Yu is his brother-in-law, and he still has to give some face.

"I think the emperor may want to lift the ban on the four princes......," Lin Jiaying said, "maybe it will be lifted in two days." ”

Xue Yu was worried that this matter could not be solved, and when he heard Lin Jiaying say this, a stone in his heart finally landed.

It's just that his father-in-law's inexpensive temperament really makes him helpless.

What can I do to win Lin Chunqiu over?

Xue Yu was a little worried, but he didn't dare to say more about this matter, for fear of provoking Lin Chunqiu's disgust.

It seems that this is the only way to forget about today.

Xue Yu nodded, "The concubine has not slept well for several days because of this matter, and if the fourth prince can really lift the ban, I can also breathe a sigh of relief." ”

Lin Chunqiu suddenly said, "Don't worry, the ban will definitely be lifted." ”

Xue Yu was in a trance, and he felt that his father-in-law was suddenly unfathomable.

The three of them took a few sips of the residual tea in the bowl, Lin Chunqiu got up and said, "Okay, it's not early, you guys go back and rest early!" ”

said to Xue Yu again, "Although I like to collect the authentic works of famous artists, I still don't accept your "Luo Shen Fu" picture." ”

"Don't accept it? Father-in-law, why is that? Xue Yu frowned.

Lin Chunqiu smiled, half-joking and half-true, "The ancients are cloudy, and they are not allowed to ...... without merit."

Xue Yu immediately understood, and also smiled and said, "This is a gift from the son-in-law to honor his father-in-law, if you don't accept it, how can the son-in-law tell Yuehe?" ”

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and when it came to this, Lin Chunqiu no longer shirked, stretched out his hand and patted Xue Yu's shoulder with a smile and said, "Okay, good, good, I'll take it, you have a heart." ”

"Alright, let's go back and rest." Lin Chunqiu waved his hand.

Xue Yu and Lin Jiaying arched their hands, and Fang came out of the study together.

The horn lamp under the wind-blown corridor was whirring, Xue Yu was still a little unwilling, and felt that since he couldn't win over Lin Chunqiu, it would be okay to win over Lin Jiaying.

And Lin Jiaying is his contemporary, and it is easier to speak. (To be continued.) )
