Chapter 099: The Old Horse Stumbles

It's not strange to see Lou Qi in Ling's Mansion, but when you see Lou Qi on the street, even Ling Yi, I can't help but want to laugh.

"Yimei, go shopping? Why didn't you buy anything? Lou Qi greeted Ling Yi very warmly.

Ling Yi didn't see Xue Yu, and couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't Gongzi Lou go out with Cousin Yu, why are you the only one?" ”

Lou Qihe explained: "He doesn't like to walk around, I don't know where to hide to read at this time, I can't be idle, so I walk around by myself, but I have a fate with Yimei, and I can meet here, Yimei is ready to go home?" ”

Zhi Yu smiled and sneered: "Young Master Lou, couldn't it be that he picked up my young lady's cat's veil again?" ”

"Where, I didn't pick anything up today." Lou Qi smiled cheekily.

Zhi Yu didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said to Ling Yi: "Miss, let's go back." ”

Ling Yi bowed his head and said to Lou Qi: "Lou Gongzi will play slowly by himself, I'll go back first." ”

Lou Qi didn't have time to say a word of "go back together", he was left behind by Ling Yi, he stared at the carriage that was gradually moving away, suddenly smiled, and muttered to himself: "Sure enough, there is a bit of color." ”

The carriage stopped outside the gate of the Ling Mansion, and as soon as Ling Yi got out of the car, she saw Gong Chengyan and Ling Shandao walking out side by side, her eyes moved, and she stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "I've seen my father, Uncle Gong." ”

"It's a floating life, haha, just come back? It's better for my daughter's family to go out less. Gong Chengyan smiled kindly.

Ling Yi snorted, but smiled silently.

Ling Shandao patted her on the shoulder and told her to go back first. He sent Gong Chengyan all the way to the outer gate before he gave up.

Ling Yi didn't go back first, but waited for Ling Shandao at the door to wait for the latter to return. stepped forward and saluted: "Father, Uncle Gong is going to ask you out again?" ”

"No, I happened to ask him for help." Ling Shandao looked at his daughter and smiled charitentially.

Ling Yi sighed, followed Ling Shandao to the study, and said as she walked: "I went to Moguan today and chose a gift for my aunt. Father, can you see if it's appropriate? ”

Ling Shandao paused, reacted, patted his head and laughed at his confusion: "Look at me." If you want to give a gift, of course, go for a walk and go to the study to see. ”

The two entered the study, and Ling Yi asked Zhi Yu to present the inkstone to Ling Shandao. explained: "Steward Ling said that this inkstone is the most suitable for my aunt. I also think it's good-looking, what does my father think? ”

Ling Shandao nodded approvingly while watching: "Not bad, yes, I don't have to worry about Ling Wen's work." ”

"Ling Zhangshi grew up in the Ling Mansion, and Uncle Chang is also an older generation, and my father believes that they should be." Ling Yi asked Zhiyu to put away the inkstone and chatted with Ling Shandao.

Speaking of Ling Chang, Ling Shandao couldn't help but sigh: "Your Uncle Chang has been with me for more than 20 years, and his health is getting worse and worse. I pondered that in a few years, I would let Ling Wen take his place. ”

"Uncle Chang is loyal to the Ling family. It's also time to enjoy his old age in peace, Ling is a promising young man, and he will definitely live up to his father's expectations-

Oh yes, my daughter was in Moguan just now, and when I heard Ling Zhangshi talk about the candidate for transporting the inkstone this time, it sounded a little difficult, was there something wrong? ”

"It's not a big deal." Ling Shandao didn't care much, "It's just that Lao Chen, who has been in charge of transporting goods, fell off his horse and broke his leg, and I couldn't find a more suitable one for a while, I was a little worried a few days ago, but now the problem is solved." ”

"Broke your leg?" Ling Yi was shocked: "Does it matter?" Uncle Chen is an old servant of our family, do you want to send some supplies and condolences over? ”

Ling Shandao laughed, "You, you, you're becoming more and more like an old mother, you're still young, these things, just let your aunt do it, don't worry about it." ”

Ling Yi pouted and said aggrievedly: "Why doesn't my father understand my aunt at all, she has been working hard for the family all these years, and it is easy to expect me to be sensible, and you don't allow me to help her, my aunt is only afraid of resentment." ”

Ling Shandao was a little dazed, and after a long while, he seemed to be suddenly, "That's right, she has also worked hard over the years, well, since you are not bitter, let you, your aunt and I also go to talk about it, if there is anything in the future, let her discuss it with you." ”

"Thank you, father, that daughter will bring some gifts to see Uncle Chen now." Ling Yi looked a little excited.

Ling Shandao couldn't bear to hit her positivity, nodded with a smile, and his tone was full of doting: "Like your mother, she is an urgent child, originally your aunt brought gifts and condolences before, if you want to go, go ahead." ”

"Yes." Ling Yisha had a blessing in mind, "Then the daughter will retire." ”

Before leaving, she seemed to remember when, and suddenly asked: "Father said that the person who transported the goods has been selected, is it the person that Uncle Gong found for you?" ”

Ling Shandao nodded: "When your uncle Gong heard that something happened to my person, he recommended someone to me, and I have also seen that person, and he is stable." ”

Ling Yi sighed, and then smiled: "The father is busy first, and the daughter has retired." ”

Leaving the study, Ling Yi asked Zhi Yu to prepare some condolences and took them to visit Lao Chen.

Lao Chen is an old servant of the Ling Mansion, he lives in the courtyard of the Ling Mansion, Ling Shandao treats his subordinates very well, I heard that he broke his leg, not only sent a lot of condolences to the past, but also specially invited a good doctor to treat him.

When Ling Yi went, Lao Chen was sitting under the tree and playing a fan, looking a little idle.

"Uncle Chen, your health is much better." Ling Yi was familiar with politeness as soon as he entered the door.

Old Chen's eyes were dizzy, and when Ling Yi got closer, he saw who it was, jumped up from the stool in shock, staggered and held on to the trunk of the tree so that he didn't fall, and when he stabilized, he bowed: "The old slave has seen the eldest lady." ”

Ling Yi looked at the courtyard and said slowly: "Uncle Chen doesn't have to be polite, you are a person who is important to your father, and now I am also helping my aunt manage the affairs of the house, I heard that you fell off the horse, just come and see, it's not a big deal, right?" ”

"Miss Lao is worried, the old slave has rough skin and thick meat, and it is okay to fall, and the doctor also said that it is not a big deal." Lao Chen was both frightened and grateful, he really had nothing to do with this eldest lady, and he also seemed very confused about the latter's arrival.

Lao Chen's wife, Wu, came out with a stool. Looked a little restrained, wiped it on the stool with his sleeve, and then said cautiously: "Miss, please take a seat." ”

Ling Yi smiled kindly. Sit down, "Uncle Chen, sit down too, your legs and feet are inconvenient, so you don't have to stand to answer." ”

Lao Chen's eyes flashed, and he motioned for the Wu family to retreat first.

In the courtyard, only Ling Yizhiyu and himself were left, and he sat straight. Lowering his head, "If the eldest lady has anything to ask, just ask, the old slave will tell you what he knows." ”

Ling Yi smiled slightly: "Uncle Chen, don't be nervous. I'm just curious how people who grew up on horseback can fall off horseback so easily. ”

Lao Chen clenched his fists, and his face sank like water. I forgot to reply for a while.

Zhi Yu frowned: "Presumptuous." The eldest lady asks you something, do you dare not answer? ”

Lao Chen was so frightened that he looked up at Ling Yi in fear, unable to speak for a while.

The smile on the corner of Ling Yi's mouth became worse, and he said faintly: "Uncle Chen didn't say it, because he couldn't say it, because how did you fall off the horse, even you doubt it-"

"Miss. The old slave was originally - "Old Chen was anxious to say something.

"You originally told your aunt, but you were scolded by your aunt. So now, I don't dare to say anything, do I? Ling Yi interrupted her, and there was a sense of confidence and certainty in her tone.

Lao Chen was stunned, slowly lowered his head, and whispered: "It's not that the old slave doesn't believe the eldest lady, it's just that when Mrs. Aunt said that, the old slave also felt that he was thinking too much." ”

"You didn't think too much, Uncle Chen doesn't know others, doesn't he know himself? You fell off the horse, someone deliberately framed you at all, and you didn't die, it's already a blessing, what's the matter, Uncle Chen still has to hide it from the murderer? ”

Lao Chen didn't expect that this eldest lady seemed to be soft, but her speech was sharper than a knife, and it was precisely because Ling Yi said what he thought in his heart that he didn't even know what to say next.

He was hesitating, but the Wu family, who was hiding behind the pillar and eavesdropping, suddenly came out, a little angry: "Lao Chen, why don't you tell the truth, those people have caused you to be like this, the eldest lady asks what's wrong, don't you dare to squeak anymore?" ”

Ling Yi was a little surprised, and his gaze fell on the Wu family, "Aunt Wu, how did Uncle Chen fall off the horse?" ”

Wu began to recall slowly according to what Lao Chen had told her.

It turned out that Lao Chen still drove a horse to transport goods that day, but halfway through, the horse that had always been well-behaved suddenly went crazy for some reason, and Lao Chen couldn't control it for a while, so he fell off the horse.

"Lao Chen later checked and said that the old horse ate unclean things, and the horses are fed by me on weekdays, so I will give the horses unclean things? It's clearly someoneβ€”"

"That's enough." Lao Chen Li snorted, "What are the women talking about, don't hurry back to the house." ”

The Wu family stubbornly stood still, and was glared at fiercely by Lao Chen a few times, before reluctantly blessing Ling Yifu and retreating into the house.

Although she didn't say the last sentence, Ling Yi had already guessed it, and said lightly: "Aunt Wu'er means that someone deliberately framed Uncle Chen, and further down, that is, someone deliberately can't get along with our Ling Mansion?" ”

Lao Chen hurriedly threw his hand: "The woman is talking nonsense, that old horse is already sick, and it is normal to have some stomach trouble, the eldest lady relaxes, the old slave no longer uses the old horse, but it delays the master's business, and the old slave is guilty." ”

"Father doesn't mean to blame, Uncle Chen doesn't have to blame himself too much, I just came over to take a look today, Uncle Chen's health is important, rest well, I'll go back first."

Lao Chen called Wu out again, and the two sent Ling Yi away.

On the way back, Zhi Yu couldn't help but say: "Miss, now we can confirm that Lao Chen was indeed killed, and the Gong family happened to send someone over at this time, with obvious intentions, do we want to tell the master about this." As long as the master doesn't use the people of the palace family, it should be avoided. ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Ling Yi's mouth: "Do you think that if you pull out an old Chen, Gong Chengyan's means will be gone?" Lao Chen is just a representative, without him Gong Chengyan can still find a second Lao Chen, let's not move for the time being, I want my father to see the true face of Gong Chengyan through this matter. ”

"But, if things can't be controlledβ€”" Ori Ha was a little worried.

"Don't worry, I won't let him get his way." Ling Yi comforted.

Since she was so sure, Ori Yu would not believe it, and let the coachman drive home directly.

After entering the door, passing by Anju Pavilion, Ling Yi stopped, "Cousin Yu lives in Anju Pavilion?" ”

Oriha didn't understand what she was going to do, so she had to nod.

Ling Yi paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his feet and walked towards the Anju Pavilion, "I'll go see what Cousin Yu is doing." ”

Weaving Yu was about to say, "Will people go out", Ling Yi had already walked in, there was no way, she could only hurry up. (To be continued......)
