Chapter 249: The Emperor's Purpose

"You're saying I've been deceived?" Ji Zongya finally spoke, but as soon as he spoke, the hearts of Lin Yuan's father and daughter sank fiercely.

"I really don't know who dares to deceive me, but you, Lin Guangcheng, and a grass folk dare to talk to me like this?" Ji Zongya raised the volume and dragged out the last note.

Lin Guangcheng's frightened body was trembling, he had heard the saying "the Son of Heaven is angry, and the blood is drifting", but it is impossible for him to watch his daughter being humiliated, even if that person is the current saint. He kowtowed heavily again, bowed his head and begged, "Your Majesty, please be clear, the grass people's love for women is also in a hurry, but although the grass people's daughter is not everyone's lady, she has also carefully taught her to know etiquette and keep her duties since she was a child, and she will never be as unbearable as the rumors." ”

Ji Zongya sneered, but suddenly his tone became light, and he changed the topic, "I heard that the Lou family has talked about family affairs with your family?" ”

Lin Yuan was horrified, the emperor knew about this little thing in Jinling? Besides, the matter of the Lou family was only a private conversation between the Ye family and Mrs. Lou, and it was never put on the bright side at all.

Lin Guangcheng already planned to give it all out, so he said without hesitation, "Yes, the second wife of Lou had this intention, and she also came to explore the situation, but the daughter of the family has never met Lou Gongzi, and the grass people don't know Lou Gongzi's personality, so they regretfully refused." ”

"I see." Ji Zongya said lightly, "I originally thought that your Lin family's business was getting bigger, and I actually had a connection with the Lou family, but the Lou family is a scholarly family, and they have always married wives and virtuous people. ”

Lin Yuan was puzzled. How did it get involved in the Lin family's business, her drooping eyes couldn't help but look carefully at Ji Zongya from the gap between her bangs.

And what does that last sentence mean? The emperor admitted that someone had deceived him? Admit that she Lin Yuan is not so unbearable?

What exactly does this emperor want to say?

"But your Lin family's business is really not small." Ji Zongya said with a smile.

Lin Guangcheng's forehead was already covered with sweat, but he was also relieved in his heart.

Regarding Lin Yuan's matter, he heard a sense of relief from the emperor's words, but it was absolutely impossible to get the Ninety-Five Emperor to apologize. Therefore, he also got off the donkey down the slope and did not mention it again, but replied, "In the early years, the grass people had no way to manage it, which led to the loss of the family's industry, and the gold mine in Shandong has also been confiscated by the government. But the Lin family's business went through this. It's not as good as it used to be. ”

Ji Zongya laughed. "How did I hear that your Lin family still has a jade mine in Yunnan, how can it be so bad as before?"

Lin Yuan didn't understand yet, but suddenly found that Lin Guangcheng beside him was shaking like chaff.

Lin Guangcheng's heart beat violently. That jade mine was the last home of their Lin family. His great-great-grandfather discovered the mine. only to make the Lin family's business bigger. No, it's not appropriate to say it's a jade mine, it's a continuous stream of jade veins. At the beginning, my great-great-grandfather spent a lot of money to buy all the mountains, so that the Lin family's business could be in the palace of the previous dynasty to the greatest extent! Shandong's gold mines are gone, and he is not too worried because there is still this jade vein. You must know that gold is priceless and jade is priceless, as long as that jade vein is still there, their Lin family has the possibility of making a comeback.

But how could the emperor know? He has always been very careful in mining according to the ancestral teachings, and he will not mine too much every year, and only a small number of them will be sold in the shop. Even to cover up, he would pretend to buy some uncut rough stones every year to explain the origin of the best jade in the shop. Others thought that it was because of his Lin Guangcheng's unique vision and good luck, and most of the same batch of rough stones he bought could produce jade of good quality.

And Yunnan is located in the handover, and from time to time there are foreign races to attack, how can the emperor know about this thing that even his eldest brother and third brother don't know? What was his purpose in bringing it up at this time?

"This jade mine...... The grass people ...... "Lin Guangcheng was lying on the ground, and he really didn't know how to answer.

"This big business country is mine, how can I not know?" Ji Zongya laughed repeatedly, as if he could see through Lin Guangcheng's thoughts.

And when Lin Yuan heard Ji Zongya's last words, he suddenly had a conjecture in his heart, the emperor was talking around, was the ultimate goal of the Lin family's jade mine?

Ji Zongya smiled kindly, "Lin Guangcheng, ......"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Jiang and Prince Yu ask to see you." At this time, the little eunuch outside suddenly shouted in a sharp voice.

Ji Zongya's face was obviously gloomy, "I have something to discuss with Lin Guangcheng, let Concubine Jiang and Prince Yu wait." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Yuan was even more sure of his previous guess.

What can the emperor discuss with Lin Guangcheng? In addition to her affair with Ji Zongyu, there is only the Yunnan jade mine suddenly proposed by the emperor! But if it's the former, why don't you let Concubine Jiang and Ji Zongyu be present?

She didn't know how much the jade mine was worth, but she knew that the value of jade was higher than gold, and the gold mine in Shandong didn't feed the emperor at all, maybe the emperor had been fighting the idea of this jade mine, even if there was no matter between her and Ji Zongyu, the emperor would definitely find another opportunity to bring it up, and Ji Zongyu was just used by the emperor!

Outside, Concubine Jiang and Ji Zongyu didn't need the little eunuch to pass the word at all, they had already heard Ji Zongya's voice.

Concubine Jiang was anxious, she didn't know what Ji Zongya paid attention to, but she felt that as a civilian with Lin Guangcheng, she was likely to collapse because of Ji Zongya's words, and her son knew best, Ji Zongyu's mind had not changed in the past four years, and he had obviously identified the other party.

Could it be that because of Ji Zongya's narrow-mindedness and selfishness, her son doesn't even have the right to marry his sweetheart?

Concubine Jiang's heart was crossed, and she raised her voice with a solemn face, "Emperor, this palace knows that you care about Yu'er, but Yu'er's marriage, should it be decided by this palace?" ”

Ji Zongya's expression changed, if there was anyone else in this world who would let him give in, it would be Concubine Jiang alone.

Bai Xian has always been observant, and when he saw Ji Zongya's expression, he knew that it was time for him to speak, so he stepped forward and persuaded, "Your Majesty, pity the hearts of parents in the world, you better let Niangniang come in and speak, so as not to worry about Niangniang's heart." ”

Ji Zongya seemed to be helpless to be persuaded by Bai Xian's words, so he waved his hand and said, "Announce it." ”

Bai Xian smiled and sighed, and preached, "Xuan Jiang Taifei Yu Wang Ye entered the palace." ”

Ji Zongyu couldn't care about being grateful to Concubine Jiang, and as soon as Bai Xian's words fell, he impatiently walked into the house.

Concubine Jiang shook her head, her son's intentions were revealed too much, and it was no wonder that Ji Zongya could handle it. But the son is the most like the first emperor in this regard, isn't he? Affection and righteousness, perseverance and firmness.

She had mixed tastes in her heart, and couldn't help but look at Lin Yuan who was lying on the ground.

It's just that the merchant's daughter, can she be worthy? (To be continued......)
