Not to mention how miserable Prince Anji was, as soon as Prince Anji was sent away on the front foot in the Qin Mansion, the head of the Qin family came back on the back foot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info After listening to Qin Zixu's advice, the head of the Qin family was unexpectedly calm, but if he could ignore the faint coldness in his gentle eyes. The head of the Qin family did not dwell too much on this matter, but instead set his eyes on the string song boy. The string song boy was still as calm as usual, but let Lin Changfeng next to him pinch a cold sweat for him. After a long time, I heard the head of the Qin family say: "String Song Prince, I don't know if I have time to drink a cup of tea with the old man." ”

In the future, the father-in-law invited, and the string song boy naturally couldn't say that he was not available, "Naturally." ”

The head of the Qin family nodded at this time, said to Qin Zixu, and said that the rest of the things will be handled by you, and then left with the young man of the string song. Most of the things in the Qin family are handled by Qin Zixu now, and Qin Zixu naturally won't feel tricky, and he should be watching his father leave.

Seeing the figures of the two disappearing at the door, Changfeng Gongzi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. His father is not very reliable, and Lin Changfeng has always been bored. But because of this, he was a little apprehensive about a particularly reliable elder like the head of the Qin family. Seeing him like this, Qin Zixu raised his eyebrows with a smile and said: "Brother Lin, you see my father like this, if you see Xie Hou..." Even if you don't deliberately put on the score, your words and deeds are very noble and elegant.

Lin Changfeng rolled his eyes angrily, can this be the same? Xie Hou has so many kind elders, where can he compare with your fox father?

Grand Prince Qin was silent: Young Master Changfeng's vision of seeing people needs to be improved.

"Big brother." In the back hall, Qin Xi and Xie Peihuan Xue Xiaoxiao walked out. Qin Zixu smiled and looked at her good-looking sister and said, "Xi'er wasn't scared, right?" Qin Xi pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "What's the matter, I'm so easy to be scared." What's more, I have a ring and a little to accompany me. ”

Qin Zixu nodded and thanked the two of them.

Xie Peihuan and Xue Xiaoxiao hurriedly avoided the side, "Qin Gongzi's words are serious. ”

Lin Changfeng knew that there were people in the back hall, but he didn't expect Xie Peihuan to be here for a while, which was rare and a little embarrassing. Xie Peihuan was generous, and nodded at him with a smile, "Young Master Changfeng." ”

Changfeng Gongzi touched his forehead, and hurriedly returned the salute, "Miss Xie." ”

Xue Xiaoxiao looked at this and that, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. Qin Xi blinked, "Xiaoxiao, what are you laughing at?" Xue Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and hid behind Qin Xi and whispered: "I don't know why, I think that Changfeng Gongzi and Sister Peihuan are like acting." ”

“……”

Xie Peihuan glared at Xue Xiaoxiao helplessly, it was a big loss that she didn't take the time to ridicule Xue Xiaoxiao at the beginning.

Qin Zixu also knew about Lin Changfeng, and said to the three girls with a smile: "We still have something to do, you can go back first." Qin Xi nodded, and with a smile, he pulled Xie Peihuan with one hand and Xue Xiaoxiao with the other.

In the hall, Lin Changfeng looked at Xie Peihuan's departing back with some reluctance. Qin Zixu couldn't help but say, "Brother Changfeng, since you are happy with Miss Xie San, you can just come to the door to propose marriage." Where is the courage of your Changfeng boy like this? ”

Lin Changfeng sat down and rolled his eyes at him, "If the young man of the string song comes directly to propose marriage today, will you agree?" ”

Qin Zixu said very cleanly: "Of course I don't agree." ”

Lin Changfeng gave him a look of "That's why I didn't come to the door". Qin Zixu smiled: "Actually... You and Miss Xie San are also considered to be on the right side, and the Xie family has not yet expressed its position, in addition to Miss Xie San's attitude, I am afraid that there are also reasons for the Lin family. Lin Changfeng said unhappily: "I have no relationship with the Lin family for a long time. ”

Qin Zixu shook his head and smiled: "Flesh and blood, as the saying goes, if you break your bones, you still have tendons." If you don't stay in Jinling in the future, it's better to say, Jinling City is such a big place, do you think it's clear? Not to mention, although the Lin family and the Xie family are not all the way, they both belong to the ten major families of Jinling, even if the main family has no connection, there are also a lot of connections between the side branches, where is it so easy to get rid of? ”

The smile on Lin Changfeng's face was slightly retracted, and his expression was a little less joking and more solemn.

Qin Zixu said with a straight face: "Although the head of the Lin family is a little confused in family affairs, he is also quite shrewd in major matters. It's just that he is old, and he has not recovered from his illness in King Zheng's Mansion last time. ”

Lin Changfeng squinted slightly, "Who are the Lin family hooking up with?" ”

Qin Zixu smiled lightly and threw him a tacit look.

Changfeng Gongzi was furious, "Is the special Lin family raising a group of pigs?" ”

Qin Zixu smiled lightly: "You don't have to be so angry. If the people of the Lin family are pigs, then aren't many people in the court pigs? Lin Changfeng snorted lightly, obviously disapproving Qin Zixu's words for the Lin family. Qin Zixu was not in a hurry, and said with a light smile: "Who can say clearly about the changes in the situation in the court?" If it was seven or eight years ago, who would dare to believe that it was Your Majesty who was sitting on the throne today? So... Anything is possible. You and I naturally think that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is unparalleled in intelligence, but how many of the final winners in the past and present are the best ones? The people of the Lin family, as well as those in the court, are not stupid, nor are they unable to see the truth. Instead, they all think that as long as there is still a fight, there is still a chance to turn the tables. What's more, everything is still undecided. Even if the dust really falls, there are not a few people who don't give up and want to turn the tables. ”

Lin Changfeng leaned back in his chair, rolled his eyes and asked, "Could it be that the old man came to the Qin family master to be verbose, right?" ”

Qin Zixu shook his head with a smile and said, "That's not true." "The head of the Lin family is sour in his heart for the envy and jealousy of the Qin family, where is he embarrassed to talk to the head of the Qin family about his troubles and humiliations?

"But I think it's a pity that the Lin family let them lose. Originally, shouldn't it have been yours? "After all, Qin Zixu is the son of a family, even if his vision is higher than ordinary people and his ideas are more open-minded than ordinary people, some things are still deep-rooted, such as the inheritance of his son-in-law or something. Therefore, Qin Zixu didn't understand Lin Changfeng's stubbornness very much, it originally belonged to him, why not? If you want to get out, it should be the Lin family's rolls, right?

Lin Changfeng looked at him thoughtfully and didn't speak for a long time. Qin Zixu touched his nose and said, "Don't look at me like this, we can be regarded as growing up together since childhood, will I hurt you?" ”

Lin Changfeng raised his eyebrows and was silent, how many times did the little ones play together when they were not sensible, even if they grew up together? I don't know how many childhood sweethearts Prince Qin has.

Qin Zixu sighed, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I'm a little selfish. Since we are all in this position, it is natural that the less resistance the better, and the more help the better. ”

Lin Changfeng knew it, and he said when Qin Zixu was so kind. Despite this, he still sincerely reminded him, "You'd better not think too much, otherwise even if Your Majesty doesn't clean you up, Wei Junmo won't let you go." Qin Zixu was slightly stunned, shook his head a little funny, and said, "You think too much, I have a sense of proportion." "The idea of the superior, even if he can't guess ten percent, he can understand seven or eight percent, right? Now at this time, if you play any kind of party, you are looking for death. But there's always nothing wrong with setting things up in advance. Or on the other hand, although the Qin Xie family has already surrendered to His Majesty, the foundation of the family cannot change all at once. It's better for the Lin family to keep and share the pressure than to be played by the Lin family's idiots all of a sudden.

Lin Changfeng looked at him, and then he was relieved, "It's good that you understand, as for the Lin family's affairs, I will consider it." ”

Qin Zixu smiled, "You'd better think about it quickly, I heard that Lin Chang'an and Lin Changyun have been quite close to the Zhu family in the past few days." ”

Lin Changfeng's eyes flashed slightly, "I know." ”

The weather was a little late, Xie Peihuan and Xue Xiaoxiao came out of the Qin family before they said goodbye and took people in the direction of their homes. The carriage didn't take a few steps, and a figure suddenly rushed into the carriage, which frightened the little girl next to Xie Peihuan and almost screamed. Xie Peihuan raised her hand to cover her mouth, and the person who came in also breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly: "It's me." ”

The person driving outside also quickly stopped, "Miss......"

"It's okay, let's go." Xie Peihuan commanded lightly, and then looked at Lin Changfeng and raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard that Changfeng Gongzi acted freely, but I didn't expect it to be so informal?" ”

The little girl who was let go also glared at Lin Changfeng hatefully, but didn't speak again. As Xie Peihuan's personal girl, she naturally knew that this Changfeng boy was interested in her own young lady. But it's too rude to run directly into someone's carriage halfway like this!

Lin Changfeng was helpless, shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "I'm sorry, I scared you?" ”

Xie Peihuan shook his head and looked at him, "Is there something wrong with the Changfeng Prince?" ”

Lin Changfeng looked at her with a straight face and said, "I want to ask Xie Hou for marriage, I don't know what the third lady wants?" ”

Xie Peihuan was stunned, his face was slightly red, he didn't expect Lin Changfeng to ask so directly. These days, Lin Changfeng often runs to Xie's house, and from time to time brings some things to her through Seventh Brother, so naturally she won't know it. And Seventh Brother is willing to send things for him, which proves that Seventh Brother is somewhat optimistic about him. It's just that Xie Peihuan really can't understand what Lin Changfeng values about himself. Although I have met Lin Changfeng a few times in my memory, there is not much communication. The only thing is that it was in the plum garden that day, but it was also commonplace.

Xie Peihuan's marriage has been delayed for a long time, but many things will be delayed for a long time, and there will be two ways. One is to go to the doctor in a hurry, and as long as there is about the same, he will marry in a hurry. The other is that the horizontal and vertical have been delayed, so there is no hurry. Xie Peihuan is clearly the latter.

But Lin Changfeng asked him so solemnly in person, and it was impossible for Xie Peihuan to perfunctory him at will. He thought for a moment before he said, "I need some time to think about it." ”

Lin Changfeng was overjoyed, "How many hours?" "As long as you don't refuse in person, there's hope, isn't it?

Xie Peihuan thought for a while and said, "After Halloween, right?" ”

Lin Changfeng nodded, "Okay, then I'll wait for the third lady's good news." I'm sorry for disturbing you, but I'll take my leave. Saying that, Lin Changfeng got up to go out, but after a pause, he turned around and said: "Although I don't dare to boast that I am better for the third miss than Wei Junmo for Miss Mo, but if I am fortunate enough to be favored by the third miss, Lin Changfeng will definitely be single-minded and have no two hearts." After speaking, he didn't look at Xie Peihuan's face, and flew out of the carriage. It happened that the carriage turned into another street here, and Lin Changfeng was the only one standing under the eaves in the empty street watching the carriage leave.

In the carriage, the girl said with some surprise: "It is said that the prince of Changfeng is debauched, but I didn't expect it to be ......" Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness the King of Chu and the princess of Chu have a deep relationship? Lin Changfeng can be regarded as very sincere in making such a promise.

Xie Peihuan's face was slightly red, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes, "Okay, don't say it." ”

The girl said: "Miss, in fact, Changfeng Gongzi is still good." Madame and Seventh Prince both said so..."

"I know." Xie Peihuan said softly.

"The Lin family and the Zhu family?"

In the study of the Chu Palace, Nangong Mo raised his head in some surprise and looked at Lin Changfeng who was sitting on the side. Lin Changfeng's face was not very good-looking, and he said in a deep voice: "I was laughing at Qin Zixu before, and I went to check it out in person and found out that Lin Changyun had just won a position in the Ministry of Rites two days ago. It was the people under King Zheng's command who helped pull the thread. ”

"What about the conditions?" Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, "It can't be just because the sixth lady of the Lin family is married to the eldest son of the Zhu family, right?" ”

Lin Changfeng snorted lightly and said, "The Zhu family naturally doesn't have that much ability, and the eldest son of the Zhu family is still doing an idle job." The foundation of the Lin family is better than that of the Zhu family, Lin Changyun secretly embezzled the silver taels of the Gongzhong, and dealt with several properties of the Lin family. There are at least about 200,000 taels of silver in total, what do you say he used it for? ”

Nangong Mo was clear, and thought while propping up the armrest of the chair with one elbow, "The Lin family's influence in Jinling is not weak, if you really do your best to help King Zheng, it is difficult to guarantee that the other families will not waver." However, I remember that the head of the Lin family didn't seem to mean that? "The head of the Lin family is not stupid, he got close to the Zhu family because Wei Junmo was just the nephew of King Yan and had nothing to do with the throne. But now Wei Junmo is more dominant in any way, and there is Lin Changfeng's son. Even if the Lin family can't take refuge in the King of Chu, neutrality is enough to protect themselves.

Lin Changfeng lowered his eyes and said lightly: "The old man is sick and can't get up when he falls in bed." ”

"That's interesting." Nangong Mo smiled, raised his eyebrows and looked at Nangong Mo and asked, "Changfeng, what do you think?" ”

Lin Changfeng lowered his eyes and was silent.

Nangong Mo sighed: "If you really can't let it go, go back." If you really don't want to have anything to do with them, you should take back your wife's dowry and break it off with the Lin family earlier. ”

Lin Changfeng frowned, "Miss Mo has the same opinion as Qin Zixu?" "The Lin family is finished.

Nangong Mo said: "Qianwei is just afraid that he can't bear to reach out to Enke these days, if something happens... His Majesty is naturally reluctant to really do anything to his son. You've got to find a few right punching bags and scapegoats, right? Lin Changfeng said: "The Lin family doesn't have that ability yet, right?" "If you want to be a punching bag, you also have to have the ability, the Jinling family was severely suppressed by the first emperor, and Xiao Qianye got up a little when he was in power. But Xiao Qianye's reign was too short, and they hadn't had time to find a place of high authority.

Nangong Mo smiled lightly: "How many of those civil officials in the court really have nothing to do with these families?" What's more, if Lin Changyun jumps up and down too much... Changfeng, the emperor is sometimes unreasonable. "Who cares if you really did something, who cares if you are the culprit. If you don't like it, you're the bastard who instigated my son to do bad things! It's not negotiable to kill you!

Lin Changfeng nodded and said in a deep voice, "I know." ”

Nangong Mo looked at him and sighed a little: "But if you really go back to the Lin family, you will not be able to stay in Jinling in two years." It's the same with Zixu. ”

Lin Changfeng raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I understand, this is also what I said a long time ago." It's time to go out to practice in a few years, and Xie Qi wants to go too. "If he returns to the Lin family, it will mean that the Qin family, the Xie family, and the Lin family are all on the side of the King of Chu. It's okay for a short time, but it's hard to say what the emperor and courtiers will think after a long time. It would be better for the three of them to go out, on the one hand, they are still young, and it is time to practice. On the other hand, it will also be able to divert the attention of outsiders and widen the distance between the three major families and the Chu Palace.

Seeing him like this, Nangong Mo couldn't help but smile, "Jun Mo is lucky to have a friend like you." ”

If others have a friend like the King of Chu, they are afraid that they will not be able to seize the opportunity to climb up.

Changfeng Gongzi shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "I was unlucky to meet him." ”
