Chapter 192: Teasing [Belated Addition]
Lin Wanwan spoke for a long time, and she didn't see her brother reacting, and when she took his hand to look at him carefully, she found that there was a kind of loneliness between her brother's eyebrows.
She saw her eyebrows skip a beat, shook her brother's hand vigorously, looked at it a few more times uncertainly, and whispered, "Brother? ”
Lin Haoqi suddenly came back from his contemplation, and his dark eyes flashed with self-deprecation.
When he was in the Song Mansion, he was still aggressive, so he almost didn't scold Su Zhaoheng for his wolf ambitions, it turned out that he was only in the villain's mood.
"It's okay, it's just that I never knew what you said all of a sudden, and I was a little distracted for a while."
The elder brother's voice was the same as his expression, clear and cold, and Lin Wanwan's heart shrank, knowing what was wrong.
"Brother, don't think about it, I didn't know all these things until the end. Grandfather hid it from you, I didn't say much, and I didn't want you to be distracted by this, after all, these things have already passed. The most important thing for you right now is your studies, not other things. Brother ......"
The more Lin Wanwan spoke, the lower her voice became, and the last sound of her brother was almost like a mosquito, she knew that Lin Haoqi was really sad, he had never been so lost in front of her.
Brother Chen Mingyi also knew that his cousin was injured when he heard it.
The future head of the family will not be able to accept these important things if they are replaced, even if it is out of good intentions.
There was silence in the carriage again.
Lin Haoqi was silent, and Lin Wanwan didn't dare to speak in annoyance and guilt, so she only held her brother's somewhat cold hand hard.
"I know, the most important thing is Qiu Yu, if I can't even do what I do best, I will disappoint my grandfather, and I will lose my promise to Wanwan. My brother said that I would take good care of you, but now my brother really doesn't have that ability, so you have to worry about hardship. ”
Just as Lin Wanwan was racking her brains to figure out how to explain this concealment, she unexpectedly held her hand behind her back, and she was very hard. It hurt a little, but she felt a lot of joy.
My brother is not the kind of person who drills the horns. That's great!
"Brother......" Lin Wanwan's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were sour. In fact, my brother has always protected me very well, because I want my brother not to always worry and always be distracted by me. I want to be able to do something for my brother. However, I didn't do anything, I only made my brother angry and sad......"
pulled the little girl beside him who was already crying into his arms, and reached out to gently pat her back. It's like when the little girl was unhappy when he coaxed her.
Of course, my brother was sad because my closest sister had someone else she wanted to be close to. Of course, my brother is angry, because my closest sister still runs to get close to others, and hides so many things, and then for my good, this kind of outsider's feeling is really uncomfortable. Does Wanwan understand? ”
The brother's soft voice slowly passed through her ears, and Lin Wanwan's tears couldn't help falling anymore. The Chen Mingyi brothers glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but feel a lot.
It can be said that it is a cousin and cousin who have depended on each other since childhood. The relationship between the two is far deeper than that of their siblings, and the burden on their cousin's shoulders is heavier than anyone else's.
Now that Xiao Chen's family can't make waves, as their brothers, I really hope that both of them will be safe and smooth in the future.
The brothers of the Chen family sighed silently, as long as their brother and sister can dissolve the knot in each other's hearts and understand each other, it is better than anything else.
Lin Wanwan dropped the golden bean with guilt, Lin Haoqi patted her gently, and the atmosphere between the two was warm. Until I felt that the little girl in my arms stopped sobbing. Lin Haoqi pulled her up and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
"I'm angry and you cry, what's it called? But don't think that if you cry, I'm not angry. I still don't want you to associate with Su Zhaoheng, his mind is too deep, I'm afraid you will suffer. Lin Haoqi looked at his sister's cat face carefully, and then wiped it again.
Listening to her brother's stubbornness, Lin Wanwan was not sad at all, and laughed out loud. "Then I won't deal with him for the time being. When will my brother look at him and pleasing his eyes. ”
It won't be pleasing to the eye for a lifetime!
Lin Haoqi replied silently in his heart, but nodded with relief, his sister actually cared more about herself.
When the younger brother compared, his heart suddenly balanced, and his anger dissipated, thinking that from now on he should really focus all his energy on his studies, and he could not live up to the expectations of his grandfather and sister. If he has achieved something, he naturally doesn't need outsiders to take care of his family affairs anymore, and his grandfather and sister don't have to worry about him anymore!
The atmosphere in the car eased down, and halfway through the journey, it was the fork of the General's Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion, and the coachman's inquiry came from outside.
"I'll send you back to Shangshu Mansion today, and when I get home to see how things are, I will send someone to deliver a letter, so that you don't have to worry about it." Chen Mingyi took the idea and looked at his cousin.
Seeing that the two of them had no opinion and nodded, they instructed the coachman again, and the car stopped steadily in front of Shangshu Mansion after a quarter of an hour.
Lin Wanwan was led by her brother to get out of the car, suddenly remembered something, and lifted the curtain again and asked Chen Minghui: "Second cousin, why did you come back alone, third cousin." If the third cousin also comes back, I will go to the General's Mansion tomorrow, and I won't see Cousin Lin for a few days. ”
was suddenly asked, Chen Minghui choked, and his expression was very strange.
Seeing him like this, Lin Wanwan became even more curious, staring at him without blinking a pair of big eyes, just waiting for him to speak.
Chen Mingyi chuckled and told his cousin the unspeakable reason: "Your second cousin was chased and beaten by a girl's family, and he couldn't bear it, so go back to the capital to hide from the limelight first." ”
"Chase and fight? Second cousin, are you being taken in by someone? What kind of girl is it, is she good-looking?! When Lin Wanwan heard this, she became interested, and stepped into the carriage again, looking like she would not gossip and swear not to give up.
Chen Minghui wailed and waved at her. "Good cousin, don't talk about it, let me breathe a sigh of relief, okay? I have a headache at the mention of that tigress!! I've never seen a girl like that, it's... It's just immoral! ”
Watching her cousin suffer, Lin Wanwan felt more interesting.
Although her second cousin is a martial artist, he always laughs when he sees people, and he is gentle and elegant to outsiders, and he is polite, but he has attracted the favor of many girls in Beijing. To say that among the three brothers of the Chen family, he is the most popular with the girl's family, and he has never done anything to reject people, and now he was forced to flee back to Beijing, how do you think that girl has some ability!!
"If you don't say it, the big cousin said." Lin Wanwan's eyes lit up with curiosity. Chen Minghui's face was more bitter than bitter gourd, and he looked at his brother pleadingly.
Chen Mingyi didn't care whether his cousin was thick-skinned or thin-skinned, and he was outspoken. "That's the daughter of one of my father's right-hand men, surnamed Cheng. Vice General Cheng has been guarding Liaodong for many years, and his family has moved there. Miss Cheng has grown up in the military camp since she was a child, and her personality is inevitably lively. Looks, not as good as Wanwan but also a good girl's family. He had seen the little girl a few years ago, and she had the same big, watery almond eyes as this cousin.
Cheng family, Cheng family...... Lin Wanwan heard the surname and silently recited two sentences. Then he happily stood up and patted Chen Minghui on the shoulder: "Congratulations to the second cousin!" I'm waiting to drink my second cousin's wine! With that, he left a series of laughter like silver bells and got out of the carriage.
Chen Minghui felt a faint pain in his shoulder, and wanted to cry without tears.
Who wants to marry that tigress, the whole capital, if you don't marry him to the girls of the whole dynasty, he won't marry her!!
Lin Haoqi heard the laughter outside the car, reached out and flicked the forehead of the funny sister, and the two went back to the house holding hands.
Sending people outside Ran Jingxuan, Lin Haoqi suddenly asked Changgui and Coriander to ask for something, and Su Zhaoheng sent it to him.
"The beads are inconspicuous. I won't take it for the time being hidden under my sleeve, so that you won't say I'm domineering, but this step is precious, and it's not good for a girl who hasn't reached the end to wear such a conspicuous thing, so I'll help you keep it. "It would be best if I could throw it back to the one surnamed Su!
Lin Haoqi looked like I was good for you, and forcibly took the things away.
Lin Wanwan was distressed, and begged with a blank eye: "Then, that brother should be careful to put it away, and can I take another look?!" "That step is really beautiful. Having a beautiful piece of jewelry that can't be worn is such a sad thing for my daughter's family, not to mention that it also has a special meaning!
Lin Haoqi was angry, and he was reluctant to let his sister show that pitiful appearance again. Open the brocade box and put it in front of her eyes.
The purple magnolia pearl in the sun shook and flowed, and the more Lin Wanwan looked at it, the more resentful she became, she reached out and took it out, and stroked the tassel back and forth before reluctantly putting it back.
Seeing that his sister seemed to be inseparable from her lover, Lin Haoqi felt that he was going to be angry when he looked at it twice, and he quickly closed the box. "Go back and rest. I'll come to pick you up again in the evening, and the maid who went out with you today will be punished by Mozhuju for kneeling for an hour! ”
So ruthless, Lin Wanwan raised her eyes aggrievedly and glanced at her brother again, seeing that he had a straight face and didn't dare to ask again, she had to look at her maid apologetically twice, and then rubbed into her yard step by step. Lin Haoqi shook his head helplessly, then stared coldly at the coriander and apricots before striding away. The two who were to be punished followed him resignedly, knowing in their hearts that in fact, the punishment was quite light, and if they were to change to another family, it was estimated that they would be sold.
The brother and sister went from place to place, but they didn't notice a figure standing behind a tree not far away.
Lin Guanying's fingernails had already been pinched into the bark, and there was crazy jealousy and hatred in her eyes.
That step was bought by the Marquis of Wusu that day, and it was a little far away, but she still recognized it at a glance!
Lin Wanwan, that slut, actually hooked up with someone a long time ago, when was it?!
Was it the time she was injured when she went to the Marquis of Wusu Mansion a long time ago?!
No wonder she fell that time, the Hou Shizi of Wusu didn't help her, and Lin Wanwan was still gloating behind her. At that time, she had already seduced the Hou Shizi of Wusu!!
Damn slut!
caused her mother and younger brother to disappear, and even her was disliked by her father, and he robbed the man who originally belonged to her!
She won't let her have a good time!!
Lin Wanwan, you wait!
Hatefully looked at the courtyard gate that was no longer visible, Lin Guanying tore off a piece of bark fiercely, and her nails were broken because of it, making her gasp in pain.
The maid next to her saw that she was injured, exclaimed, took a handkerchief to wrap her, but she was angry and threw her backhand in the face, and the maid fell to the ground, and looked at her with blurred tears and then brushed her sleeves away.
***
Because of the strong 'plea' of Mrs. Lin, Lord Wei Xian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Lord Xu Zhimin, the secretary of the Dali Temple, took a group of people to the Yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs before the time.
Old lady Lin sat in the hall and the old god was sipping tea, everyone had different expressions, and saluted him respectfully and called Fuguo.
Wei Xian thought about the emperor's instructions and said: "Lord Fuguo, the emperor specially ordered me and Lord Xu to come to check the treasury of the household department, and asked Lord Fuguo to let people open the treasury. ”
"Oh? If there is no festival every year, is there any other way to say this check the warehouse? Old Lady Lin raised her eyes and asked casually.
Wei Xian choked, don't you know why the teacher is out? Don't tease him like that. "The emperor received a secret report, pointing out that Lord Lin Hongzhi, the secretary of the household department, was greedy for 100,000 taels of silver, and there was an account book as proof.
Old lady Lin nodded at Wei Xian when she heard this, and seemed to be satisfied, Wei Xian's forehead instantly sweated, I don't know why Lin Fuguo had to ask him to find out the reason.
"It turns out that my useless son was suddenly suspended because he was accused of greedy ink, if Lord Wei didn't come here, I still thought about going to the emperor to ask the reason. Thank you, Lord Wei, but when did you accept a short, round and fat subordinate, can you squeeze into the door of the warehouse? ”
Wei Xian really wanted to cry to Old Lady Lin, he must be playing tricks on him! Obviously, Lin Hongzhi's suspension was what he asked the emperor for, but why did he say that he only knew, and the short, round and fat one was not his subordinate, that was Dali Siqing! You and the emperor begged to come with the Dali Temple!!
Wei Xian's heart collapsed, but he didn't dare to show it at all on his face, the emperor confessed thousands of things to this auxiliary country, and he would follow everything he said, otherwise he would not be able to protect his black veil!
"Fuguo has just returned to the dynasty, and he must be an eye, this is Dali Siqing, who has just served for two years, Xu Zhimin and Lord Xu."
Xu Zhimin was named, no matter how unhappy he was, he could only salute Mrs. Lin again and report his name.
Old lady Lin glanced at him with a smile, "It turned out to be Dali Siqing, disrespectful and disrespectful, you will let go of my household door for a while, and if it is crowded, you have to pay for silver to repair it." ”
Xu Zhimin was moved again, his whole face turned the color of pig liver, and the small eyes that were squeezed into a slit by the meat were cold and bright, and the yin was incomparable.
Although he didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked him to check the deficit of the household department, it was obvious that this old lady Lin also knew, otherwise he would not have asked Wei Xian such a question.
The old fox was now smiling with ease, and he must have been very anxious in his heart, and after a moment he had grasped the real handle, he was determined to avenge this humiliation. And he has sent someone to send a letter to King Rui, as long as King Rui learns that he has come to make a supporting certificate, the Lin family will have to break his muscles and bones, he wants to see how he laughs when he arrives!
Holding back his breath and not daring to say two perfunctory words, Xu Zhimin asked Wei Xian for instructions on whether to start the investigation.
Wei Xian, as the secretary of the Criminal Department, has an official position that is two levels higher than him, and he is a person close to the emperor, so of course he is respectful.
Wei Xian also can't see through Old Lady Lin, and he doesn't want to see through it, he just wants to finish checking the household department and the Ministry of Industry, no matter what the result is, he just needs to hand it over to the emperor, so as to stay away from this old fox!
After the order of Mrs. Lin to open the treasury, all the people from both sides poured into the treasury and began to count the money. (To be continued.) )
