Chapter 709: This Is What I Owe You
In Mr. Liu's opinion, the four princes can be said to have abandoned their martial arts by doing so.
Under his persuasion, the Eighth Prince, who was still angry at Ning Yuqing's approach, slowly reined in, and still felt that the fourth child had really made a stinky move this time.
Of course, if the emperor's health is still very good now, then he is doing this, of course, for the long run. But now the emperor's health is very bad, and I don't know when he may never wake up again, or be completely crazy.
In such a situation, short-term interests are of course more important. It's not that he's short-sighted, but now that he thinks long-term, he doesn't have that opportunity anymore.
However, even so, he is still not too reassured.
Even if it's just a doomed useless trick, he can't bear it, in his father's heart, the fourth child is a cut above him.
"Find a way to contact Zhang Tianshi, and say that I have something very important to find him." The Eighth Prince said to Mr. Liu. As for getting acquainted with Zhang Tianshi, Lin Enzhi played an introductory role at that time, but this role was no longer there, because he already had a way to get in touch with him.
This is also why Lin Enzhi sat on the cold bench for so long.
Several of his subordinates received their respective orders and were about to go out, but the Eighth Prince stopped them again: "Call Lynn Zhi over." β
Recently, this surnamed Lin is really popular enough. Although Mr. Liu himself advised the beard not to care, but by now, he himself was really a little uncomfortable.
But he still didn't show it. The Eighth Prince is not very easy to serve, and he can't afford to worry about this kind of chess piece that is destined to be abandoned.
After a while, Lin Enzhi came over, and the Eighth Prince stood up, circled around him several times, and asked with great interest, "How do you feel about the new official taking office?" β
"Uh, but the little Cong Qi Pin, where can I mention it in front of the Eighth Master?" Although Lin Enzhi was very happy, he repeatedly warned himself not to forget his sense of proportion because of pride.
He still remembers that his former self was too proud and forgetful, and he was tricked by a master book. Not to mention that the official position of the county lieutenant is gone, and the fame that he has earned with great difficulty has also been dismissed.
Not to mention that the vicious Tu Prefect exiled him for thousands of miles in order to tie up with the four princes!
"The new official takes office, of course, you have to be happy, like you, how can you not be happy?" Seeing that Lin Enzhi was so low-key, the eighth prince was unhappy, and said with a sigh, "Now that you are an official, should you 'return to your hometown'?" Oh, and now you're not available either. However, don't you still have your old acquaintances in the capital, don't you go to them to show off? β
Lin Enzhi is not stupid, if he didn't know what the Eight Emperors meant when he first came, if he still didn't understand it now, then he could really go find a piece of tofu and kill him.
Come home rich or famous? A small Congqipin is still just a martial arts, but it is just a small team of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, what is there to show off?
However, if the Eighth Prince asks him to show off, then he must show off.
He answered, went back to his little courtyard, and picked out his most decent clothes, and put them on well.
Since he gained the trust of the Eighth Prince, he has made up a lot of things in this mansion, from monthly money, to clothing, to food...... Whatever it was, now he lacked nothing.
There were even a few Qingke who were too miserable, optimistic about his future, and sent their thirteen-year-old granddaughter to warm his bed.
Now Lynn's life is really beautiful. But he remembered where he had come from.
Because of Fourteen Niang, he offended the four princes. Therefore, if he wants to live well, he must be a good friend of the Eighth Prince.
Fortunately, among the four princes and the eight princes, the eighth prince is the one who is more powerful.
Therefore, no matter what work the Eighth Prince arranges for him, he must complete it to the greatest extent. He himself knew that he was not treated well by the remaining henchmen of the Eighth Prince.
However, as long as the Eighth Prince treats him and introduces him as a confidant, what is the great thing about those people's opinions?
"Sir, where are you going?" The girl who had been sent by the down-and-out guest stood by the doorframe, looked at him timidly, and asked in a low voice.
Lin Enzhi glanced at her, although she was not very old, she still looked too ordinary, not to mention that she was not as good as Taohong and Gu Rui, and she didn't even have the appearance of Baimei.
will accept her, also because he really has no choice now, and it is better to use it than to use it. Anyway, she's also better looking than wormwood.
However, just to send such an ordinary girl, I want to speak for him in front of the Eighth Prince...... It's just too naΓ―ve.
He obviously has a granddaughter in his family, fourteen years old, who is much better-looking, but he doesn't give that one, and sends this younger and ugly one. Isn't it clear that you don't feel that your identity is enough?
It's really ridiculous that Xiao still thinks about letting the eighth prince make their granddaughter a concubine.
Lin Enzhi just glanced at her lazily and said, "What the eighth master ordered." β
"That'...... Is it hard? If there is a difficulty, the master can ask the slave father to help, although the slave grandfather is old, but he can also come up with some ideas......"
"There's nothing difficult about it, it's more about privacy." Lin Enzhi said perfunctorily, "Next time, next time I have an errand, I will definitely bring your father and grandfather." β
"Well, the slave family is grateful to the master." The girl's eyes were very disappointed when she heard him say this, but she still blessed Lynn and said softly.
Lin Enzhi hummed casually and went out.
There was a look of despair in the girl's eyes. Before she came, her mother told her that life at home is really difficult now, as long as she coaxes this Lin Enzhi well, then the family's embarrassment can be alleviated.
But what he didn't expect was that he also accepted and used it...... But when it comes to helping, he procrastinates.
No, we can't let him go on like this anymore! If it drags on any longer, his two younger siblings will really starve to death!
But what else can be done? The girl was desperate again.
Lin Enzhi didn't know all the tangled psychology of the only concubine he was now, he was dressed neatly, and went straight to the store of Three and Fourteen.
Then, despite Lilac's obstruction, he made a fuss and successfully met Gu Ming.
Of course, it was also because he came in a station official uniform that everyone didn't dare to stop him too much.
"Fourteen Niang, I once told you before, I owe you, I will definitely pay you back." Lin Enzhi looked at Gu Ming, who was getting more and more beautiful in front of him, smiled, and said confidently.
