Chapter 179: Undercurrent

"Why did the imperial brother make such a will without the slightest warning!" King Rui sat down at the table, and swept everything off top with one hand.

He was already born a little feminine, and the ordinary warmth between his eyebrows was covered by a chill at this time, making him look more and more gloomy.

Seeing that King Rui was angry, the two ministers standing in front of him both lowered their heads, their eyes were a little frightened, but one of them stood calmly and calmly.

"Why should the prince be angry, didn't the prince just want to force him to return to the dynasty again, and now it can be regarded as a success." Cao Muzhi smiled, and his voice was smooth.

King Rui raised his eyes with a gloomy glow and looked at the half-hundred-year-old man who was dressed in simple blue silk. "The teacher must have some kind of insight when he said that."

Cao Muzhi arched his hand, still unfazed: "I don't have any high opinions, but I congratulate the prince on the success." ”

"Congratulations? This king folded the right to manage the Ministry of Household Affairs, how happy it is! Teacher, are you kidding? ”

Facing King Rui's cold gaze, the smile on the corner of Cao Muzhi's lips deepened, and he said meaninglessly: "The household department is out of the power of the prince, can it still be turned over?" Didn't the prince just get out? As for the Ministry of Works, what actions can be hidden from the prince. ”

"The emperor can let Lin Hanhai be in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Household so happily, but he is still worried about the things in his hands, especially the Ministry of Industry, which can give full play to his strengths. Those things are also what the prince wants. ”

Cao Muzhi's words made King Rui ponder.

Indeed, Lin Hanhai was able to go from a cloth cloth to the appearance of a country back then, relying on that Mojia machine technique, and the bows and crossbows used in the army today are all from him.

His royal brother can be happy and indeed have a plan, and the household department is still holding Lin Hongzhi now, and the Ministry of Industry is full of his henchmen, and it is easy to get a drawing.

And again. This is not a move by the imperial brother to test him.

King Rui thought, with a look on his face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

His good royal brother is not as close as he seems, the heavenly family is ruthless, he knows better than anyone else!

"It's this king who is angry and a little impetuous, since Lin Xiang, oh should call Lin Fuguo to return to the dynasty. We have to show something about it. King Rui smiled like the sun in spring. Warm and gentle. "Congratulations to everyone, too."

King Rui spoke, and several people should be.

The mood of the owner in the house improved, and the atmosphere became lighter. Take turns to report some things, and no longer tremble.

・・・

Shangshu Mansion, after Old Lady Lin took over the will, his Mozhu House was full of his own family.

Master Lin with gauze on his head, Xu. Hurriedly returned home Lin Hongzhi, little Chen with a big belly. There are also a number of grandchildren.

"You all come here to do something, I don't know how annoying I am." Old Lady Lin glanced at the pile of brocade boxes on the table, and waved impatiently.

It was obvious that he was driving people, but the smiles on everyone's faces did not change at all. Especially Lin Hongzhi, he was smiling so much that his mouth was almost grinning to the root of his ears.

When Mrs. Lin returned to the dynasty, she was also able to take on a heavy responsibility. That means he's saved, don't worry about it anymore!

What about the wise king Cao Muzhi. Now they must be afraid of their Lin family, and they dare not act rashly.

"Father, this is a great event and a great joy. The son knew that his father didn't like to make trouble, but such a thing should always be celebrated, and the son also asked his father to put up with us useless children and grandchildren, and set up a banquet in the evening. Our Lin Mansion has not had a good meal as a family for a long time. ”

Lin Hongzhi respectfully flattered, at this time, he must get closer to the relationship between father and son, and he should take the opportunity to ensure that he will change.

Master Lin also endured the pain on his head and persuaded: "Father, the second brother is right, our family will also take this opportunity to have a good get-together." The emperor's grace is vast, how can he not congratulate him. ”

Old lady Lin, who was repeatedly persuaded, glanced at her son twice, and scolded in her heart, why does he have two sons with such power, who is he with?!

Although he was quite unhappy in his heart, and he didn't want to save the face of his two sons in front of a group of juniors, Mrs. Lin finally nodded, but she was not allowed to be too extravagant, just like a family banquet.

The two brothers listened to the smile on their faces deeper, and they were busy saying that they must be ready, so they left Mozhuju with their daughter-in-law and children satisfied.

Since it is a family banquet, as daughters-in-law, the Xu family and the Xiao Chen family should be able to do their best.

The two walked to the side with a tacit understanding, but Xu looked at Xiao Chen's stomach and said with some concern: "Brother and sister are inconvenient, don't be tired, I'll keep an eye on the family banquet." ”

Xiao Chen's heart was excited, looking for an opportunity to get close to Mrs. Lin, and he had to seize the opportunity. "Sister-in-law, where is this, it's rare that my father is willing to be close to us, how can I care about this banquet. I see that the banquet is placed in the garden of Shangshufu, and then let the subordinates arrange the lamps, and it is not bad to write some lamp fans. Although it is not a festival for lantern fans, it is rare for the family to have fun. In a few days, the eldest niece and two nieces will get married, which is really a rare opportunity. ”

Xiao Chen not only rejected Xu's kindness, but also came up with the idea of being the master of the house, and arranged the family banquet directly in Shangshu Mansion, which made Xu roll his eyes.

It's really a person who can't be on the stage, as if he was afraid of robbing her of credit.

Xu Shi was disdainful in his heart, and said with an indifferent smile: "Since my younger brother and sister have ideas, but do what my younger brother and sister say, but my younger brother and sister should not be too decided." Mozhu Curie has always had a small kitchen, and his younger siblings may have to invite someone from the kitchen over there to take care of it, if the taste of the food is not in line with his father's, won't it make his old man unhappy. ”

was counterattacked, and the smile on Xiao Chen's lips became colder. "This brother-in-law is naturally saved, does the sister-in-law also want the cook to come over, after all, the uncle is still injured, I'm afraid that the cook here has committed some taboos."

Xu's face changed when he heard this, Xiao Chen laughed at his husband for being beaten and losing the heart of Old Lady Lin!

Gritting his teeth, Xu swallowed this breath, not wanting to fight with her anymore. Her husband was beaten, that was when only her brother was present, when Lin Hongzhi was kicked to his knees, but there were still outsiders, and I don't know who lost his father's heart!

"I will naturally ask the cook to come over, otherwise how can I prepare a family banquet, my brother and sister don't need to send it, sister-in-law, I will go back to Dongfu to prepare first." After the words fell, Xu turned around and went in the direction of Dongfu. He snorted coldly.

Xiao Chen also heard the snort, and his eyes flashed sharply: "Phew, the daughter of a merchant, which one is Qiao." ”

And the old turtle that didn't come out of the shell finally let her find a chance, congratulations, don't you have to prepare well, congratulations to him!

Xiao Chen had other calculations in his heart. Holding Yu's mother's hand, he slowly walked back.

And Shangshufu all afternoon. Those who came to give gifts and congratulations had to wait in a long line in front of the house.

But Mrs. Lin still didn't see anyone, so she sent Qingmo to guard at the gate of the mansion, and politely persuaded the people who gave gifts back.

Time. The officials of the DPRK and the central government could not figure out the arrival of Lin Fuguo, who had won the holy favor.

By the time the sun was setting in the west, the open space near the lake in Shangshufu Garden had been arranged.

Because of Lin Hongzhi's special explanation, Lin Guanwan's brothers and sisters were sent to Mozhuju to invite Mrs. Lin, and they looked nervous as if they were afraid that his old man would break his promise.

Old lady Lin was wearing a very casual regular clothes. Slowly walk into the table.

The last glimmer of light on the horizon was swallowed up by the night, and all the lights by the lake were lit.

Take a walk around the lake. Reflecting the lake, it is indeed a unique scene.

After Mrs. Lin moved the chopsticks, the two masters of the Lin Mansion took the lead in toasting a round of wine, and it was the official opening of the banquet.

Although it is necessary to say that there is no need to be extravagant. But it is also full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, tempting to move your appetite.

Lin Wanwan frequently attacked a coriander pigeon, and saw that Lin Haoqi also helped to bring her only that dish. In the end, Mrs. Lin also let the pigeon of his seat be brought over, and smiled deeply at his granddaughter.

Lin Wanwan, who was about to salute and thank her, was so laughed that her scalp was numb. Secretly said: Is there any misunderstanding on my grandfather, she just thinks that this pigeon is better than the one roasted by Mozhuju!

Old lady Lin received the grace of the saint, and the people of the Lin Mansion naturally followed suit, and every courtyard was feasted, although it was far less than what the masters enjoyed, but it was not bad, and they all gathered to eat and drink.

Mo Zhuju has a big girl in the upper room, Yun Yu personally Zhang Luo, sent the three seats in, and personally arranged vegetables for Qingmo Qingzhu, who was powerful for Mrs. Lin, so that Qingmo Qingzhu was flattered and pushed a few times before pushing it away.

Yun Yu then took a little maid back to the garden to serve, and when she arrived at Xiao Chen's side, she nodded invisibly, her eyes shining.

After finishing the meal, the plates were removed and the refreshments and fruits were placed.

The elders whispered at a table, and the juniors all gathered around the lake, and began to guess at the lamps of various shapes, and the atmosphere was harmonious and happy for a while, until Mrs. Lin returned to Mozhuju, and nothing went wrong.

And when the Lin Mansion was lively for a long time, there was always a figure watching from a distance in the dark of the garden, which was Zhuo Miaoyi, who was not allowed to participate in the banquet because of filial piety.

The noise in the distance and the beautiful lanterns all stimulated her, and there was resentment and unwillingness in her eyes.

When she saw everyone disperse, she hurriedly chose a small path, left in a hurry, and disappeared.

In the evening, Lin Wanwan drank a few sips of fruit wine, Lin Haoqi insisted on sending her to the yard, and then sat outside all the time, and heard the maid say that she had rested as soon as she cleaned up, and then left.

Lin Haoqi also accompanied Mrs. Lin to drink alcohol at night, and when he went out of the hospital, the oncoming evening breeze made his somewhat heavy head a lot clearer.

He slowed down his pace and walked towards the temporary Mozhuju, and when he turned to the path he was walking, he suddenly stopped.

A woman walked in front of her, dressed in a crescent white dress, without a little ornament on her body, and the hazy moonlight sprinkled on her delicate facial features, making her like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, so beautiful that people dare not look at it.

Lin Haoqi recognized the person, but he really didn't look at it anymore, and raised his steps without squinting and continued to move forward.

"I've seen my second cousin, why is it so late, and my second cousin hasn't stopped yet." Zhuo Miaoyi saw that the young man did not avoid it, her heart jumped, and she hurriedly saluted.

But halfway through her words, she stopped again, the light smile on her face changed to a faint sadness, and even her eyes seemed to be hidden from water, flashing and flashing. "It's that I forgot, everyone in the house congratulates the old lady today, and I also want to congratulate the old lady, but it's an unlucky one, I'm afraid of rushing to the happy event."

Zhuo Miaoyi's tone was mournful, she wanted to cry, and she was even more weak and moving, like a helpless flower bone floating in the wind and rain. In front of her is Lin Haoqi, who once had a misunderstanding with her sister because of her.

At this time, he looked at Zhuo Miaoyi's attitude, and there was nothing else in his heart except disgust, and he wished to stay away from her.

"Cousin doesn't have to be polite, you have a heart. I'll take my leave. ”

didn't even want to say a word, Lin Haoqi used the simplest politeness to perfunctory, and then crossed over after the words fell.

At this time, Zhuo Miaoyi sighed in her mouth, and her body suddenly fell towards Lin Haoqi, who walked to her side.

didn't expect the other party to fall, Lin Haoqi subconsciously stretched out his hand to help.

The next moment, a body with a faint fragrance leaned on him, the other party was soft and boneless, and the soft place on his chest was close to his chest.

Lin Haoqi coaxed in his mind, and after a moment of blankness, he hurriedly pushed the person away with his backhand.

Zhuo Miaoyi was secretly glad that she had approached, and after being pushed and bounced, she fell straight to the ground.

Lin Haoqijun's face was flushed, angry and ashamed.

When he saw Zhuo Miaoyi for the first time, he also felt that the other party was not reserved at all, and after a while, he obviously felt the other party's deliberateness.

No wonder Wanwan doesn't like her, what is the difference between the woman who threw herself into her arms like this and those dusty women!

"Miss Zhuo, please respect yourself, I shouldn't have happened today, you are still my stepmother's honored guest, if I hear a rumor that damages my reputation, don't blame me for not having a gentlemanly demeanor!" Lin Haoqi's warm eyebrows are rare and sharp, and he didn't look at Zhuo Miaoyi after speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.

The young man angrily threw down the threatening words, and Zhuo Miaoyi was stupid.

How is it different from the calculation?

This kind of teenager who has not opened his feelings, shouldn't he be flustered when he encounters this kind of thing, and then there will be beautiful thoughts in his mind?!

How can you insult her!

She's self-respecting?!

How is she not self-respecting?!

If he was really such a gentleman, would he hug her for a while?!

Zhuo Miaoyi's face turned green, she really had never seen such a man who didn't understand amorous feelings! Obviously, he also took advantage!

"Miss Zhuo, it's hard to walk in the middle of the night, so the slave advises you not to run around. You just came here, you don't know, this place is very close to the small lotus pond, the lotus pond once drowned people, many people still hear crying when they walk from here at night. ”

Just when Zhuo Miaoyi was so angry that her chest hurt, a faint voice suddenly came into her ears, and those words made her even feel cold in her bones.

She was shocked and fled.

It was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, half of her body hidden behind a tree, and the moonlight shone on her face, looking white and miserable.

Just looking at this, Zhuo Miaoyi was even more frightened to the point of discouragement, screaming and lifting her skirt without caring about getting angry, and ran all the way out of the trail.

Looking at Zhuo Miaoyi, who had a ghost mind but didn't have the courage to run away, Xing'er walked out from behind the tree slowly, and said disdainfully: "So timid, you dare to walk at night, you don't know whether you are dead or alive!" ”

The errand in this Shangshu Mansion is really troublesome, I have to watch the future housewife, and I have to worry about her brother, when will the prince transfer her back to the Hou Mansion. It's only fun to go on a mission with the other guards, and her whole bones will stiffen if she stays here again!!

Xing'er complained silently, lifted her toes a little, and the whole person disappeared in place.

There was a small calculation on the path, and the old lady Lin in Mozhuju looked at the pillow presented by Qingmo at this time, and his face was so gloomy that he seemed to be dripping water. (To be continued.) )

ps: Thank you for the monthly pass, Mo Da~
