Chapter 204: Secret Movement

With the departure of the Xiaoyu battalion from Beijing, the struggle for power between the two families in Beijing and Suluo gradually faded away under the interference of others, and the court was also calm as if it were a turbulent lake, but Shangshu Mansion slowly became lively.

Shangshu Mansion will have people to visit every day, and the old lady Lin will also lead the important ministers of the court and the central government to sit back to the house from time to time, because the West Mansion is not the housewife, many officials and wives who want to tie up the Lin family will take advantage of the marriage of Lin Guanyao in the East Mansion to give gifts.

Master Lin has been taught a lesson, and has repeatedly instructed the Xu family not to talk to these official wives about anything, and the Xu family will accept all the gifts given, and then go back to the past with a heavy gift, anyway, the most important thing in the East Mansion is silver.

In this way, these official wives all knew that the Xu family couldn't find out anything, so they hit the idea on Lin Wanwan, who is now in charge, and asked their girls to hand over the post to cultivate some friendship from the juniors. Those who don't have girls all send their sons to get to know Lin Haoqi.

Everyone in the capital knows that Lin Shangshu's eldest daughter has not yet decided to marry, and the eldest son is the same, and the foreign family is still the Chen family in charge of one party's military power, as long as one can be brought together at will, the future of the disciples in the family should be worry-free. So the brother and sister were annoyed for a while.

Lin Haoqi can also directly excuse himself from meeting guests for the exam, but Lin Wanwan will be more miserable, even if she doesn't reply to the post, she will have a cheeky face and come directly to the door, but she still comes together, forcing her to deal with it.

After only three or four days, Lin Wanwan couldn't stand it anymore, left the coriander behind, and hid in the general's mansion to prepare for a few days of quiet life. And Chen Silin's harmony is also in the next few days, which is reasonable.

Lin Wanwan's carriage had just left the house, and the old lady Lin, who was supposed to be busy in the Ministry of Works, came back in the carriage, and there was Wusu Hou who should not have appeared in Beijing in the car.

Marquis Wusu was dressed as a literati, with a cloth crown on his head, and he did not have the appearance of an iron-blooded general, so Lin Wanwan took a look at him, and he was afraid that he would not recognize him with such an elegant demeanor now.

The carriage slowly drove in and stopped in the outer courtyard, and Old Lady Lin led him into the study in the outer courtyard.

"I didn't think I'd have such a bold day." Marquis Wu Su was invited into the study, and the smile on his face seemed to be helpless and emotional.

Old Lady Lin motioned for him to sit. "But if you go back to Beijing halfway, you don't want to rebel, this is called boldness? You're a battle-hardened warrior who is not as brave as a woman. ”

was teased, but it still poked in the sore spot. Marquis Wusu sneered. "Lin Fuguo still doesn't make fun of me, I really want to make me lose face to see you in the future."

"You don't have the face to see me, your wife did something to make people buy her son-in-law's life, and she almost even counted me in, I haven't asked you to settle this account for so many years."

Old lady Lin is the one who pokes wherever you hurt. The mouth is so poisonous that Wu Suhou really wants to find a hole to drill.

"That's her fascinated for a while, you will be stunned when you are old, Lin Fuguo rescued the dog back then, and he will be rewarded one day!" Marquis Wu Su got up and arched his hand, only hoping that Old Lady Lin would let him go quickly, not to mention this stubble.

Old Lady Lin snorted lightly, casually took out a piece of paper on the table, and threw it in front of Marquis Wusu. "Generous retribution? If you tell that kid not to calculate that I and my granddaughter every day, you will be rewarded! It's really not who owes anyone, if it weren't for the fact that I don't believe in Feng Shui. I can be for you, the direction of the Su family's door is facing my Lin family! ”

After taking the thin piece of paper, Wu Suhou couldn't say anything except for laughing. Who made his son really calculate other people's granddaughters every day, he didn't have enough confidence!

But... What is written or painted on this piece of paper in his hand? Wu Sufu looked at the paper in his hand and was in a daze.

"You just keep this thing, and then set out with the caravan, and when you get there, they will naturally do what you ask." Old lady Lin sat in the Taishi's chair and explained his doubts.

Hearing this, Marquis Wu Su carefully folded the paper, for fear of damaging it.

See him in action. Old lady Lin said very leisurely: "It doesn't matter if this thing drops, those people will still listen to you anyway." ”

Wu Su Hou, who was about to put things away close to his body, shook his hand, his eyes widened, and he looked at the old lady Lin who looked lazy and had a playful smile. Finally smiled bitterly. "You're always playing with me?"

Let him hurry back to the capital for a day, and what he was given was actually an inconsequential thing?!!

"Whoever has the leisure to play with you, it's just to catch a handle, one day your Su family will make me unhappy, so that I can add one more crime when I join you in front of the emperor, so that you can drink enough pot."

The old man in front of him was still smiling. Marquis Wu Su felt cold for no reason.

The change in the face of Marquis Wu Su made Old Lady Lin couldn't help but laugh happily, "Go ahead, it's too late or those people won't listen to you again." ”

was ridiculed and threatened, Wu Suhou felt that there was an old saying to be reversed, he was a soldier and a talent, and he was miserable.

Surrendered again, Wusu Mansion, who was full of blood from the pit, left in Old Lady Lin's carriage, and Old Lady Lin took out a letter from his sleeve, slowly folded it and read it.

This is the Marquis of Wusu secretly asked people to copy the records of the concubines received outsiders in the palace recorded by the Ministry of Internal Affairs when the emperor was still alive, mainly the records of the reception of the concubine Chun Guifei and the current queen mother.

Concubine Chun Guifei saw his wife the most, followed by her maiden family, the Ding family, and as for the current queen mother, it was Cao Muzhi who saw the most.

Cao Muzhi was the young master of the crown prince back then, and this kind of reception is normal according to common sense, but it is a little abrupt for the queen mother.

Today's queen mother is not the queen of the first emperor, but the concubine Chun who died of illness and crossed the harem of the favored crown, and was promoted to the queen by the position of concubine.

This matter was also a hot discussion in the capital back then, and most people couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts, after all, the son of the queen had been established as the crown prince at that time, and now the queen mother also has the current emperor, and the two princes are adults and only three years old. This kind of support for the concubines who already had adult princes as the new queen, but the former emperor's favorite childless concubine Chun Guifei was defeated, causing a turmoil in the court, and they all speculated whether there would be a dispute between the two parties. But the crown prince and the current emperor get along like brothers, and the queen was also very good to the current emperor when he was alive, and the two did not have the secret fight that the courtiers thought.

And in the end, it was a tragedy that led to the current emperor becoming the crown prince, and then ascending the throne.

It was the summer of the crown prince and the queen, and the first emperor took the prince and a concubine to the palace to escape the summer.

The prince was greedy for cold night, and when the incident happened, he was still in a place to enjoy the scenery and did not return to his palace, and when he heard that the water was gone and the emperor was still trapped, he hurriedly rushed in to rescue the current emperor who was unconscious.

But the weather was dry, and the fire spread very quickly, and even the prince's bedroom and other prince's bedrooms were also burned. The palace people came to give the crown princess and the little emperor grandson were trapped in the palace, and they should have escaped the crown prince. But after rushing back to his dormitory, the girder collapsed and never came out. It can be said that the prince's family was crushed to death, which led to the current emperor's accession to the throne.

Therefore, before the death of the crown prince, the queen mother often summoned Cao Muzhi, which made people think about it.

Mrs. Lin wanted to try to find some clues about the death of his wife from these interview lists, but unexpectedly brought out another layer of doubts.

Cao Muzhi's vicious and treacherous old lady Lin knows best. Isn't there something strange about the palace back then?

But he felt that something was wrong, the accident point was in the emperor's bedroom today, if something really happened, when the prince went in to save people, it was the best time to start unknowingly, not to mention who could calculate that the prince would save people? Or maybe the prince saved people by accident. I was going to burn him to death in his dormitory?!

But since he chose to start, the person who did it must know the whereabouts of the prince very well, and it was useless for the prince to burn when he was not in the palace, not to mention that when the prince rushed in to save the princess and the imperial grandson, only part of the palace was on fire. If it weren't for the sudden collapse of the palace, that kind of fire would not have been possible in this accident.

Old lady Lin overturned the speculation back and forth, which made him feel strange, but there was no doubt, not to mention that in the end, the result of the investigation of Dali Temple was that someone in the Ministry of Industry was greedy for ink to repair the silver of the palace, so the palace where the prince lived burned half a beam and collapsed. And check again, all the palace beams and beams in the palace are different old and damaged. However, they only did superficial work, and at that time, this ink corruption case led many people into it.

Puzzled, Mrs. Lin threw the thing, rubbed her brows, and simply didn't want to.

This old incident has nothing to do with him, and he is really idle when he has more heart.

This file is also like looking for a needle in a haystack, there are too many people in a year, especially the Queen Mother, who came to the top of the main palace.

There was a little disappointment in Mrs. Lin's eyes, and she sharpened her pen and wrote down some names. handed it to Qingzhu and asked him to sort out all the relationships.

***

Chen Silin's and the Chen family wanted to do it in a low-key manner, but the Song family handed over the excerpt to Feng Shizi a few days ago, and Song Cheng was named Weiyuan Bo Shizi.

Wei Yuanbo's excerpt to invite the son of the world is neither early nor late, and it is precisely at this point that he is stuck. Thinking about it, he also intended to give the new daughter-in-law who did not enter the door decent, so the Chen family had to treat it ceremoniously.

I don't know what's going on, the eldest princess Jianing took the initiative to hand over a letter to Mrs. Chen, wanting to be a guest of honor for Chen Silin. How could Mrs. Chen reply to the letter with such hospitality, and replied with a flattered tone, and Lin Wanwan was asked to be a praiser.

Lin Wanwan was also apprehensive. After all, she doesn't have a good reputation in Beijing, and she is afraid of embarrassing her cousin.

Chen Silin said that the granddaughter of the current Fuguo Lord and the granddaughter of the Shangshu Lord are enough, and maybe it will make many ladies in Beijing blush.

This is a bit exaggerated, Lin Wanwan can only smile and nod when she looks at her cousin's honorable appearance.

On the day of Chen Silin and Lu, Chen's Mansion was full of guests and was very lively.

Listening to the lively movement outside, Lin Wanwan was a little nervous in the room, tidying up the deep clothes on her body from time to time on the bronze mirror of her body, and silently reciting the previously rehearsed regulations in her heart.

Knowing that the eldest princess of Jianing had come and was talking with Mrs. Chen in the main hall, Lin Wanwan knew that it was almost time to salute, but she didn't know that the coriander who was originally in Shangshu Mansion came in a hurry with a bad face.

"Miss, the fourth lady actually let the concubine of Yuan Shilang, who had been to our mansion before, take her out of the mansion, and the slave maid let her follow, but she went around to the general's mansion, and now she has been taken to see the old lady." Coriander gasped and said, she never thought that Lin Guanying would have the courage to come to the General's Mansion.

Yuan Shilang is Lin Hongzhi's subordinate, and Lin Guanying does not dare to refuse Miss Yuan if she wants to come, after all, outsiders do not know about the Lin family.

Lin Wanwan's face sank instantly, "I thought she was quiet, but I didn't expect to hide her thoughts." "It's just that when did she get in touch with these ladies who came to the door?!

And Lin Guanying came here today, just to show her face, and want to make more friends with some famous ladies, so that she will have a legitimate reason to go out of the house in the future.

Moreover, Xiao Chen's name was removed from the Chen family and abandoned, she is no longer a concubine, but she still has a little Chen family blood, and her grandmother will not make a bad look at her cousin and Lu Li no matter how much she dislikes.

She played this hand, and she really deserved to die!

Thinking about it, Lin Wanwan took a deep breath, a beautiful smile bloomed on her lips, but her eyes were cold. "Let's go, let's meet her first."

As Lin Wanwan thought, when she found Lin Guanying, she was already talking and laughing with four or five ladies of the same age.

is not a dress that is not Zhang Yang, only combed a double bun, with pearl flowers, and behaves generously and gently, it really looks like a lady who knows how to read and be courteous.

"Why didn't the fourth sister send me a letter before she came, I let people prepare the carriage, you took her carriage out of the house so quietly, if something happens, my father will blame me." Lin Wanwan stepped forward and exchanged salutes with several ladies, too lazy to talk nonsense with her and count her down.

was blamed for being ignorant first, Lin Guanying didn't expect it, isn't Lin Wanwan afraid of causing a conflict and messing up Chen Silin's courtesy? ! And she is dressed as a praiser, which is really dazzling!

Lin Guanying thought secretly hatefully, and glanced at Miss Yuan, who had already cast a blaming glance at her. "The third sister is a praiser today, and she is not in the house, so my sister thought about this little thing, don't disturb my sister anymore, it's my sister's."

Although she wanted to rush forward and bite Lin Wanwan twice, Lin Guanying, who knew her purpose, still endured it and bowed obediently to admit her mistake.

Seeing that the young lady of the Yuan family also heard the spearhead, Lin Guanwan was so happy that someone wanted to spread something for her, so she glanced at Lin Guanying and said, "Since you are here, just come to help a little." As he spoke, he apologized and smiled with a few ladies and said goodbye.

With a commanding tone, Lin Guanying's lungs were about to explode, so she naturally didn't want to respond, and she knew that helping was just an excuse to take her away. She finally took the risk to come to the General's Mansion, in order to show her face more, her mother was divorced without any news, and her brother was gone, she didn't plan for herself anymore, she was afraid that this life would be over! What's more, she still wants to find Lin Wanwan for revenge!

"Third sister, I'm young and I'm afraid of ......"

"Ah, what's wrong with you, Fourth Miss!"

Lin Guanying's words of evasion had just come out, and Xing'er stepped forward to make a gesture, but she couldn't even stand up with a numb leg, so she fell directly to the side...... (To be continued.) )
