Chapter 197: There is a change
From the moment she entered the Hanging Flower Gate, Lin Wanwan felt that the atmosphere in the mansion was a little strange today, and all the servants who saw her showed respectful and eager looks, which was what she did not do when Xiao Chen's family was sent to the half-headed house in the nunnery.
What's going on?
With an expressionless face, he sent a little steward who stepped forward to send him for no reason, Lin Wanwan's pace quickened, and when she turned to the path next to the upper room, she heard a cry.
The footsteps immediately paused, she listened carefully to a few words, it was Lin Guanying's voice, crying again and again, father, how can you be so ruthless, and there was the voice of the maid and the woman who kept persuading.
What kind of trouble is it, Lin Guanying's temperament is always not quiet, others say that she is rude, and the real rude thing in Shangshu Mansion is the master. Lin Wanwan frowned, and left in a hurry, so she didn't bother to care what Lin Wanying was crying about.
went all the way to her yard, and saw Changgui guarding the gate of the courtyard from a distance, and the other party ran over when she saw that she was busy.
"Ask Third Miss An, can you be regarded as coming back, the second master has been talking about you for a day, this will also be a meal, Third Miss, you are going to Mozhuju?" Changgui smiled and saluted.
The elder brother thought of himself, Lin Wanwan didn't even enter the courtyard gate, and directly took the maids to Mozhuju again.
Mo Zhuju had already turned on the lamp, and the little servants were carrying food boxes to the small hall, but the three brothers were still working hard in the study room.
"Brother, I'm back." Lin Wanwan crossed the threshold with a smile and rushed straight to Lin Haoqi's case, bluffing him.
Putting down the book, Lin Haoqi glanced at her, as if blaming: "After going to the General's Mansion for two days, my grandmother spoiled you to the sky again, and you are bouncing like this, but you have to disturb your eldest brother and third brother to work hard!" ”
Sticking out her tongue at her brother teasingly, Lin Wanwan turned around and said hello to her cousin on the side, and both of them smiled indifferently.
As he was talking, Qingzhu came in to report: "Ladies and gentlemen, the third lady, the old lady asked Qingmo to send a letter back, and you may not have dinner at home at night." I don't have to wait. ”
Since Mrs. Lin returned to the court, there will always be a day when she will not go back to the house for dinner for four or five days, sometimes she is mixed with official business, and sometimes she is called by the emperor.
Lin Wanwan thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know what the reason is?" ”
Qingzhu replied: "It was said that he was suddenly summoned to the palace." ”
I was called by the emperor. That should be able to come back earlier, and if you want to tell Qingmo to take care of some words, you don't need to pass it on, it's useless to pass it on anyway.
Bowing his head to indicate that he knew, Lin Wanwan went to the small hall to see how the meal was arranged before exiting the study. Qingzhu, who came up, smiled and said hello to her.
Suddenly congratulating, Lin Wanwan was confused, and only looked at Qingzhu suspiciously.
Qingzhu explained: "Third Miss, I'm afraid you don't know when you just returned to the house, but the old man asked the housekeeper to call all the servants in the house, and personally explained that in the future, the Shangshu Mansion will be in charge of the third lady, isn't this a happy event?" ”
The master?
This is obviously a tiring and thankless job, why did her father put the housekeeping on her shoulders, no matter how she looked, she was only thirteen years old, didn't she have an aunt to help watch before? And the father still has a concubine who has children, and it is difficult to put all the rights in her hands.
Lin Wanwan was not happy at all. The housekeeper's affairs are complicated and cumbersome, which will take up a lot of her time, and she is still in a hurry to make clothes for her brother and Su Zhaoheng.
Seeing that Lin Wanwan frowned after hearing this, Qingzhu was puzzled, there are not many young ladies in Beijing who have not been out of the cabinet, and if this is to be spread, no one will have to look up to the third lady by one point, and in the future, the in-laws will only have more respect.
"Third Miss, there is another matter today, the master still gave Xiao Chen's letter of resignation to Fourth Miss, and sent Xiao Chen's dowry to her courtyard." Qingzhu remembered the big things in the house again. He no longer uses honorific titles when Xiao Chen is abandoned.
Lin Wanwan's brows furrowed even deeper, and her father gave Xiao Chen's letter of resignation directly to Lin Guanying?! It was Xiao Chen who was sent away, which is not in accordance with the rules.
Qingzhu said with a very good look at this time: "The reason is that the fourth lady was greeting the master. The words were incorrect, which angered the master, and the master immediately took the written letter of resignation and threw it in the face of the fourth lady, so that if she still wanted to be the Miss Lin family, she would be the mother who had never had Xiao Chen. The fourth lady also had an incomprehensible temper, and after a few more words against the master, the master threw Xiao Chen's dowry into her yard. Let her fend for herself. ”
It's really self-inflicted, Lin Guanying is a straw bag when she leaves Xiao Chen, and she doesn't know how to endure it for a while?
Lin Guanying's tragic situation was simply self-inflicted, Lin Guanwan was too lazy to bother to gloat, and forgot about it after saying thank you to Qingzhu.
After dinner, Lin Wanwan and her brother talked about Chen Silin and Lu Li on the 27th of this month, and the brothers and sisters felt that they should be more solemn, and they discussed and discussed whether they chose to go to Jinlou to put on a good face and send it on the same day. Although it was not special, it was formal and decent enough for the guests to take out that day.
agreed, Lin Haoqi and Pingsu sent Lin Guanwan back to Ran Jingxuan, looking at the smile she had been unfettered, and the worries of the past few days finally dissipated. My sister is in a good mood, and he is naturally good at everything.
***
Old lady Lin was urgently summoned into the palace for the improved weapon he said a few days ago.
The emperor's imperial case was covered with paper at this time, and he looked at each of the exquisite drawings, as if he saw these divine weapons showing their might on the battlefield, killing the enemy and crushing the scene, which made the emperor's blood boil.
Compared with the emperor's excitement, Old Lady Lin was like an old monk who had settled down, only standing on the side of the table with her hands down, with no sadness or joy on her face.
"Fuguo, please return to the court, you will add tiger wings to our soldiers, with these weapons, how much damage can we reduce!" The emperor looked at the past one by one, and looked at it one by one, and praised it from the bottom of his heart.
Old lady Lin was unmoved, and said lightly: "It's just to pick up other people's teeth and wisdom, and then transform it, and the minister only has this ability, and he has dedicated it to the emperor without reservation." ”
"No matter how Fuguo's words sound, they are all pushing the credit, and I remember this credit, and when the Marquis of Wusu calms the northwest this time, so that the Tartar State will not dare to commit it again, I will reward him heavily." The emperor smiled heartily when he heard this, and made a promise.
He is not stupid, how could he believe this old fox so much, what Jiang Lang is capable of, he is just still in the matter of King Qi Rui, the punishment is too light.
King Rui's matter involves the royal face, and he really has no face as a brother to announce his brother's dominance of the courtier's wife to the world, and the people of the world will laugh at the royal family, not to mention that the queen mother almost knelt down to intercede for his younger brother after knowing this. Even the emperor was afraid of filial piety, so he had to find other reasons to refute all the errands of King Rui, and then punish him.
If King Rui really had a mind that he shouldn't have. This punishment is already very heavy for him.
Losing the sacred heart on the surface, the ministers he won over had to tremble and think about it again and again, and they would also accept their hearts, which was also very good for him, the emperor.
Although he did not want to be suspicious. But the drawings in front of him made him have to be suspicious, these weapons were created, and in the current situation, the most sophisticated forbidden army was afraid of a fiasco. Therefore, the emperor also thought that Mrs. Lin was actually wronged, and he only became more and more kind to him, thinking that there would be a suitable time to compensate for him in the future.
In the face of the emperor's golden words. Old lady Lin really disdains it, can he return his wife's life if he rewards him again?
Su Zhaoheng checked the origin of the red seed but it was full of twists and turns, first it was commonly used in the hands of King Rui, and it was also in the hands of Cao Muzhi, and then he found that there were concubines in the harem of the first emperor and died of this poison. An uncommon poison appeared in the harem, which was no longer something that Old Lady Lin could figure out, which also made him unable to overturn the real cause of his wife's death.
She was poisoned after a palace banquet, at that time Cao Muzhi had always had different political views from him, and he also assassinated him, and later he also admitted that his wife was just his substitute ghost. The departure of the wife. It became a deep blow to him, and since then he has no intention of fighting away from the court. But now think about it, Cao Muzhi may not be able to succeed in the palace banquet alone, if he can succeed, how can there be a wife to die instead, maybe the real cause of his wife's death is involved in what palace secrets.
In those years, because of his status in the court, several nobles in the palace were very close to his wife, and Concubine Chun, who was good friends with her shortly after his wife's death, also died. These connections were found by Su Zhaoheng after finding the stable woman who had delivered babies for Xiao Chen's family and hid in the palace. Concubine Chun's honor during her lifetime was to make the first emperor go, and she is still talked about. Some of the strange images after her death are also rumored to be so miraculous that there are still legends in the palace today.
So, Mrs. Lin insisted on returning to the dynasty, which is also one of the reasons.
At least he could get closer to the palace where his wife had lost his soul!
Promise a reward. Old lady Lin's face was still faint, and the emperor couldn't hold back a little, so he only secretly scolded this old fox who didn't eat oil and salt.
Then he discussed how to build the drawings and what must be paid attention to, and after the old lady Lin answered them one by one, the emperor was satisfied and let people go.
Old lady Lin left the palace with her front foot. Someone sent the news to the Rui Wangfu on the back foot.
Listening to the spies' report, King Rui's face was gloomy, and Cao Muzhi, who was accustomed to being light and light-hearted, also showed a solemn look.
"If these weapons are made in a hurry, I am afraid that things will change." Cao Muzhi thought of the old lady Lin who caused this variable, and gritted his teeth with hatred, why didn't he die back then? !
King Rui's voice was cold: "This king knows, that's why he made a fuss from the military power side of the Protector Mansion, so that he could force the Su family to go to the northwest before the things came out." As long as they go to the northwest, we can decide when the war will start. ”
Speaking of the old protector who was as hard and smelly as the stone in the pit, Cao Muzhi's heart was not easy at all. "The old protector has not moved until now, I am afraid that he knows that he is being used as a gunman, although he can't guess that we did it, but with the principle he upholds, he will not cooperate. With the military power in hand, he really doesn't have to be in a hurry, not to mention that the emperor has gone, and Concubine Luo, who has no children and no daughters, is no threat to anyone in the palace, even if she is not painful for the Protector Mansion. ”.
Thinking that the old protector was actually more difficult to gnaw than the Lin family, King Rui's face became more and more heavy.
His good royal brother took advantage of the matter to play directly, elbowed him in the mansion, and refuted all the real power, which really made him feel a little difficult to move an inch.
If it's a human being, there should be weaknesses, and he really doesn't believe that he can't gnaw on the Protector's Mansion!
"Teacher, see if you can start again with Master Zhu, after all, Mrs. Zhu is the daughter of the old protector, and she may be able to find another way." King Rui thought about it again and again, and faintly thought of a person coming in his mind.
Cao Muzhi also lowered his head and thought about it, speaking of Mrs. Zhu's Luo clan, he also thought of one like King Rui, maybe there was really another way.
If the old ones can't move, they will gnaw on the small ones! That merry young master may really be able to make good use of it.
Cao Muzhi's frowning brows soothed a little, his eyes sparkled, and he already had a good calculation in his heart.
***
In the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing, Marquis Wu Su took off the light armor on his body, and said to Su Zhaoheng, who was standing beside him: "The old protector may not really do this. He thought twice that things might not be so bad.
"If someone really wants to help secretly, then it will definitely be done this step, my father still gave the emperor first, and we will go to the northwest first. Even if the Protectorate Mansion does not move, according to the urgent report of the Northwest on the tenth day now, no matter how frequent the Tartar State is, the expedition will only be a matter of one day earlier and one day later. Su Zhaoheng's expression was condensed, and every word he said was full of anger.
Xu Ping has been by his third uncle's side for so long, and he has only had this news recently, which is to let him spread the rumors that King Rui created the Protectorate Mansion to occupy the camp to the ears of their father and son, since King Rui has this action, it means that he has this plan.
He is now in a hurry to leave the capital with Xiao Yu Ying, and the abacus in his heart is not small.
It is one thing to ask them to lose the Su family's room and let his third uncle replace him, and on the other hand, I am afraid that there will be a change in Beijing?!
A few days ago, the person that Old Lady Lin used to slander King Rui for stealing the drawings was indeed one of the people planted by King Rui, and he had already tortured King Rui if he really had such plans.
A prince coveted the weapon drawings, and repeatedly targeted the old lady Lin who knew the Mo family's machine skills, and he would see the hell if he didn't have any dissent. But he didn't know whether King Rui had launched a mutiny after his death in his previous life, and the Protectorate Mansion had made some efforts in it. As a compatriot with the emperor's mother, if he really gave birth to this kind of dissent, Su Zhaoheng felt cold and terrible when he thought about it.
"This is the reason, but as far as I know, Lin Fuguo has recently developed a new weapon, and the emperor will let people build it in the near future. If there is going to be a war in the northwest, this batch of weapons must first fall on our Xiaoyu battalion, if we go out now......"
"Father don't worry, his son did Lin Fuguo a favor a few days ago, he gave his son a weapon that is even more lethal than that presented to the emperor, and the power is ten times that of that. It's just that his old man confessed that it should not be used at a critical moment. A smile flashed in Su Zhaoheng's eyes, and the old lady Lin stalked his neck and said that he didn't owe each other.
How can they not owe each other, he is still waiting for him to nod and marry his granddaughter.
Hearing this, Wu Suhou's expression suddenly became extremely solemn, if Su Zhaoheng looked at it carefully, he would find that the hands of the battle-hardened general of a country were trembling almost invisibly. "Lin Fuguo owes you a favor? Heng'er, tell me the truth, King Rui's punishment for thinking about it has something to do with the Lin family?! ”
Otherwise, he couldn't think of anything that would make his cold eldest son care, and he only cared about the three girls of the Lin family!
But if that's the case, he's involved in the royal battle?! This...... Wu Suhou thought that even his face was no longer calm, and there was a complexity in his eyes that others could not perceive.
What he fears the most is still coming?! (To be continued.) )
