125 Banquets
In all fairness, Lin Jinlou admires Song Ke a little, a son of an official eunuch from a declining family, who lives alone with his old lady and sister, who is young, but does not leak a drop of water when he speaks and does things, and acts quite methodologically. Lin Jinlou certainly believes in the talents of the sky, but he also believes in the way of heaven to reward hard work, and the glamorous and decent in front of people is all in exchange for a hundred times the effort of the queen, just like him, everyone said that he became a four-rank general at a young age, and he held a heavy army, which was because of his ancestral shadow. He felt that those words were all farts, although he was a proud son of heaven born with a golden spoon, but all the feats he made were fought with real swords and guns. When he smelled the chickens and danced, how many children of the family were still dripping with snot for the nurse to hug and coax, not to mention what winter practice Sanjiu and summer practice. Their Lin family also produced some talents in his generation, but who could be as ruthless as he was to endure so much hardship, willing to put his head on the knife edge and fight for his life?
Song Ke's family background and future naturally can't be compared with him, even if he is admitted to the Jinshi, what can he do? If there is no great opportunity, it is not uncommon to see two Jinshi who have been dangling on the five-rank official in his life, even if he marries the daughter of the Duke of Xianguo, it may not be able to help him have a bright future. But Lin Jinlou has seen how Song Ke works hard, from the energy to study hard, Lin Jinlou smelled the ambition of this son, the two have dealt with a few times, Lin Jinlou knows that Song Ke is not a good character.
Lin Jinlou's fingers tapped on the table. Originally, he heard that Song Ke had won the Jinshi, and there was a flash of thought to release Xianglan's girl, and the Lin family was kind to Song Ke, and he couldn't marry a woman. But then I rejected this idea, he was originally a character who called for wind and rain, why let a fledgling hairy boy? Not to mention that Song Ke is fledgling now, even if he stands alone in the future, he will definitely not be his opponent.
Lin Jinlou pondered to himself, only listened to the little boy Gui Yuan who was on an errand under the corridor, and said at the door: "The master heard that the uncle has woken up, please go to the front and eat two cups of wine for a while." β
Lin Jinlou responded. He took two pieces of pastry from the plate and stuffed them into his mouth, and then changed into the clothes of the guests, and turned to the front. I saw that a few tables were set up in the courtyard, dozens of people were sitting densely, and a stage was set up in front of them, and several actors were babbling and singing. Lin Changzheng and Lin Changmin were both at the table, chatting with the left and right. As soon as Lin Jinlou arrived, the banquet immediately became lively, and they all toasted with Lin Jinlou with wine glasses. Lin Jinlou smiled at the corner of his mouth, answering them one by one, holding a wine glass in his hand, with the graceful posture of a son of a family.
Someone whispered below: "See, that's the boss of the Lin family, Lin Changzheng was able to make the governor of Shanxi because he walked around the capital and drilled the camp, dignitaries, lords and ministers, there is no one who should not be paid." At such a young age, the grade is even higher than that of you and me. β
Another humanitarian: "People are divided into three, six and nine, and with such a father and mother, it is difficult to think about being underdeveloped." β
There is one person here, since Lin Jinlou came out from behind, his eyes were firmly fixed, and he never left, this person is Xia Yun. It turned out that Han Yaozu spent a lot of money to ask someone to dredge the door of the Lin family, and there were heavy gifts and filial piety during the New Year's Festival, and the Lin family invited officials who were familiar with Jinling to a banquet before handing him a post. Han Yaozu originally wanted to take his eldest son with him, but he felt a cold, he knew that his son was always a drunkard, thinking that Xia Yun was honest and obedient, and his work was always in line with his wishes, so he ordered Xia Yun to accompany Han Guangye to go with him, which also implied the intention of bringing Xia Yun.
Xia Yun was naturally grateful to Dade, and specially changed into a new silk clothes, and was a little more ambitious, bent on showing her talents with high-ranking officials at the banquet, and then planning one step upward, if you can get a big opportunity, it is unknown if you will be crowned the king and the prime minister in this life. Along the way, he talked to Han Guangye attentively, but he laughed at Han Guangye in his heart for not learning and not knowing, and he had no ink on his chest. When she arrived at the Lin Mansion, Xia Yun was slightly surprised when she saw the lively scene in the city. When he entered the Lin Mansion, he saw that the house was magnificent, the windows were carved with beams, and the strange stones and rare birds were becoming more and more dizzying, and when he entered the banquet, he and Han Guangye only sat at the farthest table, and Han Yaozu's seven-rank official was already at the bottom.
Xia Yun only sat upright, not daring to say a word, but found that Han Guangye, who was illiterate in big characters, was actually left and right, shouting all over the table, toasting frequently, talking and laughing. knew that he was from a serious background, and others only raised their glasses slightly, and there was no affection. Xia Yun felt quite uncomfortable in her heart. When Lin Jinlou came out, everyone was like the stars holding the moon. As if this person was born to be so noble and powerful. Xia Yun watched from afar, jealous and envious in her heart, and a little indescribably depressed, only to realize that she was too naΓ―ve to be ambitious before, this time she opened her eyes, only to know what kind of style the real Zhong Ming Ding Food House is, half of the pride is extinguished, and she doesn't dare to climb the big opportunity anymore, so she only cheers up and greets the seven-rank pusher beside her. Leave it at that.
said that Yindie let a few mothers-in-law drag it down, and returned to the room to cry. The girls and others were disgusted with the rights and wrongs of the silver butterfly, and no one persuaded them. Xiao Juan swallowed the melon seeds and said coldly: "Pack up your things, uncle let you go out tomorrow, don't look back and delay, uncle blames us." β
Yindie said angrily: "Even if you leave, it's tomorrow morning, and it will hinder your liver pain?" β
Xiao Juan stuck his waist and sneered: "Speak respectfully, you are no longer a girl in a serious mansion." Instead of talking to me about my ability, it is better to think carefully about myself, what good people can I sell to a girl who has committed theft? Even if you sell you tomorrow, you can't stay in the house tonight, so you don't have clean hands and feet, and then you can go with something! After saying that, he dropped the curtain and left.
Silver Butterfly was so angry that she cried again. She had some ideas, wiped her tears, took out a handful of money from the box, called a little girl and said, "You go to the third girl's house, invite Hanfang here, and say that I have something important." β
The little girl put her hands behind her back and pouted, "Mommy said that you don't let you take care of it!" β
"You ......" Yindie raised his eyebrows and wanted to fight, but he held back his anger, grabbed another handful of money, handed it over and said, "You go quietly, no one knows." Go! β
The little girl just took the money and left. After a while, Hanfang arrived, and when Yindie saw it, she rushed forward and cried: "Cousin save me!" β
Hanfang was startled and hurriedly asked. Yindie told the ins and outs of the future, and said with tears streaming down her face: "I...... I didn't know that a golden horse could cause such a disaster. Speaking of which, it's not Xianglan's cheap hoof, leaving this Laoshzi behind, I was blocked when I was in the house, and even if I leave, I can't live in peace......"
Hanfang frowned and scolded: "What are you talking about, you are greedy for money and take other people's things, how can you still say that others are not?" β
Yindie wiped her tears and said: "Anyway, she let the big * milk sell, I don't take that thing, and others will take it sooner or later!" It's just that my fate is not good enough to catch up with such a thing...... Woowoo woo ......"
Hanfang sighed: "It's too late to say anything now......" thought about it and said: "You annoyed the uncle, the house can't stay still, send you out first, the family will make some money, and ask someone you know to buy you, you are also old, and you will be born at home for a few days. β
Silver Butterfly cried, "I'm not going out!" I might as well die if I go back and marry a poor ghost! β
Han Fang slapped her twice, and said angrily: "Who do you blame for losing your own good errand?" This is what you have in your house, and if you don't have a penny of money, and you are sold to the old man as a concubine, what will you do? β
Silver Butterfly fell on the kang and cried louder and louder.
At this time, Mother Wu came in with a curtain, frowned and said, "Why haven't you cleaned it up yet?" The mothers on the second door are all waiting, and if it is too late, the inner house should be locked! β
Hanfang hurriedly smiled, stepped forward and said: "My sister is just worrying, don't worry, mother, I'll personally send someone out later, and let her family pick her up outside." β
Han Fang had a little face in front of Lin Dongya, and Mother Wu eased her expression and said, "It can't be too late." β
Hanfang smiled: "Where can it." As he spoke, he took out two coins of silver and said, "The mothers of the second door have been waiting for a long time, so let them take it to buy some wine to eat." β
Mother Wu glanced at Yindie and said to Hanfang: "Your sister wants half of you, and she won't let the uncle drive away." β
Han Fang said yes again and again, sent Wu's mother out, turned back to Yindie and said angrily: "Still crying? Hurry up and pack up your things, turn around and say to Mrs. Cai, let someone carry a small sedan chair to send you back! β
Silver Butterfly couldn't, so she packed her things into a cage. Hanfang led her out, and as soon as she arrived at the Weeping Flower Gate, the little maid Gui Yuan stopped her and said: "Sisters, don't go forward, the master has set up a banquet in front, and they are all male guests, but I am afraid that it will be bad for people to bump into them." β
Before he finished speaking, he saw two small men walking by in front of the door with a drunken man, followed by a tall young man. Silver Butterfly looked around, and saw that the young man was dressed in a moon-white cocoon silk shirt, with a polite appearance, born white and upright, and a pair of eyes on his rectangular face. The person who came was Xia Yun, it turned out that Han Guangye had eaten too much wine, and he couldn't help but be crazy. Xia Yun hurriedly took care of it, and asked the little servant of the Lin family for tangerine peel sobering soup, and poured it down, Han Guangye opened his mouth again, but fortunately, the housekeeper came out and said: "It's getting late today, and the prince of your mansion has eaten too much wine, so it's better to rest here. β
Xia Yun couldn't ask for it, so she nodded and answered, and sent someone back to report the news. A small servant stepped forward to help Han Guangye, and the group went to the back cover room, and happened to meet Yindie and others at the Hanging Flower Gate. RS
