Chapter 351: I Have a Good Plan
Ling Yi has always been concerned about the changes in the palace, and when Lu Xiaotian is fine, he will also wander around the palace or "guards" or "palace maids" at will, and almost grasp all the movements of Qi Run.
So when the latter went to Zhang's Mansion and Tianzhu Pavilion successively, although he didn't know what he was talking about, he also sensed that there was something unusual about things, and immediately told Ling Yi about it.
Qi Run will go to Zhang Tianhao, the only thing that can be explained is that Qi Run wants to get the latter's support, but this time he went to Tianzhu Pavilion, I'm afraid the purpose is not simple, no matter what, Ling Yi still decided to go to Zhang's Mansion in person.
Before he went out to weave a fan, he became worried: "Madame, is she going to see Master Zhang?" He doesn't have to meet us. ”
"Zhang Tianhao can't see it, it's always okay to see Zhang Zuolun and Zhang Gongzi." Ori Yu brought the parasol over.
In fact, Ling Yi was also a little uncertain about whether Zhang Zuolun would see him, after all, Bai Miaoqi's incident hit Zhang Zuolun hard, not to mention that the latter didn't know that Bai Miaoqi was indeed alive, if he knew, wouldn't he hate her to death.
Zhi Yu was also worried about this matter, and couldn't help asking, "Madam, you said that Miss Bai Er is still alive, do we want to tell Zhang Gongzi?" Wasn't you very optimistic about Zhang Gongzi before?
Although so many things happened that eventually led to Zhang Gongzi and Miss Bai Er's fate, but we are hiding this, if we let him know about it in the future, what should we do? ”
"Let's talk about it later, not to mention that he is married before, and this emotional matter can't be forced, this time, I won't tell him, I will have a chance to talk about it in the future."
Ling Yi said slowly. After all, it will take time to judge whether Zhang Zuolun will be in the same league as his father Zhang Tianhao, or whether it will be a different scene after the Zhang family is handed over to him.
The three of them came to the door of Zhang's mansion. Let the guards guarding the door inform Zhang Zuolun, and it didn't take long for the latter to come out to greet him. Looking at his demeanor, mannerisms and tone, he still has a lot of respect for Ling Yi.
"What kind of wind is it that blows Mrs. Hou to the cold house, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
When facing old acquaintances, Zhang Zuolun still joked like before, which made Ling Yi feel a lot more comfortable, and he was led into the back of the house. After greeting Zhang Zuolun, he talked about the purpose of this visit.
"Actually, I came to you this time because I wanted to ask about something. I don't know if Zhang Gongzi is willing to give advice. ”
Zhang Zuolun laughed out loud after hearing this, and his tone was quite helpless: "Before you didn't speak, I was still a little happy, wondering if you had a whim to visit my old friend."
But apparently even if they became relatives. You still haven't changed your temperament. There is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. ”
Having said that, there was no dissatisfaction in his tone, as if he was happy, "Every time you come to me, you must have something to ask, so I am also very honored, at least there are people who think I am useful." ”
Ling Yi could feel his teasing. It's a lonely, helpless and unwilling heart, and I thought about it. Or he said something that seemed superfluous to himself: "Don't look at you now, in the future, no, maybe in less than a year, something unexpected will happen to you." ”
Although he felt that it was comforting, Zhang Zuolun was still very happy, "Okay, don't be polite to me, what do you want to ask?" ”
Ling Yi hesitated for a moment before apologetically: "I heard that the fourth aunt died of dystocia, and the adults and children were not saved-"
"Sure enough, it's for this." Zhang Zuolun had an expression that I knew: "There are a lot of people who have heard about this matter in the past few days, and His Royal Highness came to see my father yesterday, and he said about this matter. ”
He paused, and then said, "Did you hear about this and come to comfort me?" Haha - that's not like your style. ”
Ling Yi glanced at him angrily: "At this time, I still have the heart to joke, of course I didn't come to ask about the private affairs of your mansion, I just want to know what His Highness said yesterday." ”
Zhang Zuolun's face pale slightly, his smile was not as relaxed as just now, but with some precautions, even if it was slight, it still made Ling Yi notice, so she became more and more sure in her heart that Qi Run must have said something interesting.
In fact, Ling Yi fully understood Zhang Zuolun's embarrassment, after all, the two were not old friends, nor were they relatives and friends, and Zhang Zuolun had every reason to refuse his request.
But even so, she still had to continue to ask.
"I know I'm making this difficult for you, you don't have to tell me everything, just tell me, who are you talking about in your conversation? I won't ask much about the rest, and I will find an opportunity to repay you in the future for this kindness. ”
"It's not impossible to tell you, it's just that I want to know why you want to know, to be honest, are you thinking something-" Zhang Zuolun wanted to ask her if she was planning to deal with Qi Run.
He knew the relationship between Gong Xiru and Bai Lang and Zhu Mo, and now that Zhu Mo has entered the palace and become the fourth highness, it is obviously impossible to just wait for the future to be crowned a prince.
It is impossible for the friendship of the three of them for many years to be broken, not only that, but it is more likely that Gong Xiru and Bai Lang have already started to do things for Zhu Mo, and now Ling Yilai, who is Mrs. Hou, asked him what His Royal Highness said, which is obviously involved in the party struggle.
Ling Yi could probably guess what he was thinking, and interrupted the latter's words: "It's not as complicated as you think, I've always been people who don't offend me, I don't offend people, if they didn't do it first, I wouldn't take the initiative."
There are already a lot of troubles, so why bother adding more troubles to yourself. ”
Zhang Zuolun thinks about it and thinks it's right, he actually likes Gong Xiru and Bai Lang very much, if it weren't for his father's constant opposition, he probably has become good friends with those two people who talk about everything.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you, in fact, it's not a big deal, Your Highness just heard that my father's fourth aunt died in childbirth, and brought condolences to see my father, of course, I also know that this is not a simple visit, he wants his father to support him.
If I say this, you should know that our situation is different, even if there is no conflict between you and me, but my father chose His Highness. It means that you and I will definitely have conflicts.
But don't worry, I've never been used to what my father did, what he did. It has nothing to do with me, he doesn't care what I do, but I hope you can understand that I can't tell you much, after all, he is still my nominal father. ”
Ling Yi nodded gratefully: "You can tell me a little, I'm already grateful." In the future - we will certainly not be-for-tat. ”
Zhang Zuolun loosened his shoulders, "Fortunately, I had an extra eye yesterday, so I went to listen to their conversation." In addition to my father accepting the gift from His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness also said that he would find Master Chengguan to do the Dharma for our family, which surprised me more because he asked my father about the former queen and the concubine. ”
"What about it?" Ling Yi was a little surprised. About the first queen and the concubine. She didn't know very clearly, but she probably knew that it seemed that the fate of Concubine Yue and the four princes was in harmony with the royal family.
"I really can't say anything else, you came to me with a swagger today, maybe this father already knows, if I tell you too much, it's not good to deal with him." Zhang Zuolun said apologetically.
Ling Yi nodded, "I understand. Thank you, and also. I'm sorry. ”
Zhang Zuolun couldn't help but smile: "What's so sorry about this, do you want to leave now or stay a little longer?" ”
"I'm going now, I still have some things to do." Ling Yifu gave him a blessing and said goodbye to him.
Walking out of the courtyard, he saw a beautiful woman standing in front of him, looking at himself with straight eyes, Ling Yi thought about it for a while, guessed that it was Zhang Zuolun's wife, bowed slightly with the other party, and continued to walk out.
"Mrs. Ling, please slow down." Yang shouted softly.
Ling Yi turned around and said, "Something?" ”
Yang stood in place and hesitated for a moment, before he stepped forward with small steps: "Excuse me, I just-is-I want to ask, husband-jun-he-haven't been so happy for a long time, Mrs. Ling and husband-"
The more she spoke, the quieter she became, and she probably felt that she was asking this question too badly, and said timidly: "Don't be angry, Mrs. Ling, I-I don't have anything to ask, I'll send Mrs. Ling out." ”
Thinking about this little carefully, how could Ling Yi not see through it, she didn't refuse, and walked side by side with Yang, sometimes her eyes stayed on Yang's expression of wanting to ask but being embarrassed to open for a few moments.
Seeing that they had all walked to the gate, the Yang family still didn't have the courage to ask what he wanted to ask in his heart, but Ling Yi replied directly: "I and Zhang Gongzi only knew each other before, and they are friends, and Zhang Gongzi is not in love with me, the person he liked earlier has died in his heart." ”
"Huh?!" Yang was obviously stunned, obviously he didn't expect Ling Yi to be so direct, his face was embarrassed and embarrassed, and he waved his hand again and again: "I-I didn't mean that."
I just - I saw that my husband talked to Mrs. you without any worries, and I was very happy, so I thought - I wanted to learn from Mrs. Ling - learn how to get along with my husband. ”
Ling Yi laughed when she heard it, just a few words, she knew that this Yang family was a simple girl without scheming, such a person, with Zhang Zuolun is very good, the husband and wife are not strong in the relationship now, but they will definitely be like glue in the future.
She thought about it, but she couldn't help but remind: "Zhang Zuolun is a person who attaches great importance to affection, you are good to him, even if he doesn't let him look at you today, in the future, these good things will slowly accumulate, he will find your beauty, and your relationship will be very good in the future." ”
Yang's face jumped with excitement when he heard this, and the slightest sourness towards Ling Yi in his heart disappeared in an instant, "Thank you, Mrs. Ling, I-I-I will." ”
After leaving Zhang's mansion, the weaving fan consciously asked the coachman to turn the carriage around and go to Tianzhu Pavilion.
Ling Yi sat in the carriage and looked out, and after a while, he sighed: "Zhang Zuolun is also lucky to meet the Yang family, he doesn't like it now, but he hasn't let go of his regrets about Miao Hairpin yet, maybe, I should let him know that Miao Hairpin is still alive, not only alive, but also living well, maybe in this way, he can let go of the obsession in his heart." ”
"Madam, if you tell him that, I'm afraid he will find it difficult to accept it." Ori Yu worried.
Ling Yi nodded slowly, also feeling a little embarrassed, and finally said: "Let's think about this matter slowly and in the long run, and I am not in a hurry At this time, there is the Yang family who cares about Zhang Zuolun, I can expect that it is only a matter of time before he is influenced by the Yang family." ”
The three of them talked and laughed, and the time passed quickly, and they soon arrived at Tianzhu Pavilion.
This is the second time Ling Yi has come to Tianzhu Pavilion to see Chengguan, and he still remembers the last time, he made a small means to allow Chengguan to avoid a disaster for the Eight Sound Kingdom, and now he still feels a little guilty in his heart.
The one who opened the door was still the little monk guarding the door, "Is the female benefactor here to offer incense or to see Master Chengguan?" ”
Zhi Yu stepped forward and said, "This is Lord Hou's wife, who came to Tianzhu Pavilion to pray for the family." ”
Hou Ye's wife! It's the Ling clan who just sealed the three-rank edict a few days ago?! The little monk immediately became respectful on his face, and did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly saluted and invited: "Madame, please inside." He muttered again, and said in his heart, why have so many people come to pray for blessings in the past two days?
"Master Chengguan is inside." Ling Yi asked.
The little monk nodded: "The abbot was a little unwell yesterday, and now he is still resting in bed, if the lady wants to see the abbot, the little monk will immediately go to find the abbot, and ask the lady to rest in the main hall." ”
Ling Yi nodded, asked the little monk to invite Chengguan, and went to the main hall, the hall was full of gold, and the smell of red sandalwood mixed with incense paper was very pleasant.
"Oh - Mrs. Ling, the poor monk has been feeling cold and unwell for the past few days, so Mrs. has been waiting for a long time." Chengguan dragged a tired look into the main hall.
Ling Yi clasped his hands together, seeing that the latter's face was swollen, his eyes were blurred, his eyes were also full of bloodshots, and his hands were rubbing his temples from time to time, his face was pale and ugly, and he looked really uncomfortable.
Ling Yi asked the little monk to retreat first, and only after there was only one person around Chengguan did she smile and say, "The best way to solve a hangover is to drink a few bowls of sobering soup." If the abbot wakes up and doesn't eat anything, his stomach will definitely be upset. ”
Chengguan's expression was in a trance for a few moments, and after his brain reacted to what Ling Yi said, his face became more and more pale, as if he didn't know her, and said in panic: "Madame-what does Madame mean by this." ”
Ling Yi looked at him pitifully and sympathetically, "I obviously like the wine and meat in the red dust, and the abbot can live in this temple for so long and endure it for so long, which really makes me admire." ”
"Madam-" Chengguan couldn't help but look around, and said with annoyance: "Didn't the poor monk already agree to His Highness's request, why did he still come to find the poor monk?" ”
Ling Yi walked around him, and his solemnity suddenly disappeared, replaced by a gentle appearance with a smile and a smile: "Abbot, don't worry, I'm coming, but there is one more thing, which was ordered by His Highness."
This promise is also a promise, and two things are also promises, as long as the abbot agrees to these two things, then His Highness will definitely not come to trouble the abbot in the future. ”
Chengguan was already annoyed: "I said yesterday that I would only promise that one thing, why did I go back on my word, yes, anyway, I promised one thing, and two things were also promised, so how many things will have to be promised by poor monks in the future?" Is there an end to this? ”
Ling Yi shrugged innocently and said: "It's not me who has the final say, it's His Royal Highness who has the final say, who let the abbot you - so greedy for cups, ordinary people know that drinking is wrong, let alone you, master, don't you understand this truth?" If you don't agree, it's okay, but the consequences are difficult to estimate. ”
Chengguan hated and regretted, he knew that he shouldn't have drunk with Qi Run yesterday, if he hadn't been frightened and over-admitted at that time, but flatly denied it, without evidence, what else could he do with himself? (To be continued.) )
