422: A family of faces
An hour ago, the Jin State Mansion.
In the Yunzhan Courtyard where Jin Mi was, Jin Yuming and Xie, a couple who shared the same bed and had different dreams, were now sitting in the outer room with frowns.
Separated by two curtains and a screen, he could still hear the intermittent moaning of Jin Mi from time to time from the inside.
"If Ah Mi really has a ...... of three long and two short," Jin Yuming's face was full of unconcealed anger and pain.
Xie Shi comforted softly on the side: "Doctor Sun's acupuncture has always been the best, with him, isn't the prince still at ease?" β
Jin Yuming pursed his lips tightly.
Inside, Jin Mi's cries of pain are getting lower and lower.
"Dr. Sunβ"
The bead curtain shook for a while, and Xie Shi had already stood up and looked at the old man in the blue cloth shirt who came out of the inside.
Doctor Sun, who was over the age of six, raised his head, and his heavy face shocked Xie Shi's heart.
"What's going on!" Jin Yuming also got up suddenly, stared straight at Doctor Sun, and asked in a coercive tone: "When will the eldest prince's leg injury be healed?"
Before Dr. Sun could speak, the person knelt down.
Seeing this, Jin Yuming's pupils shrank suddenly.
Xie Shi almost had an answer in his heart, but he still had to ask: "What is the situation of Ah Mi, and please let Dr. Sun tell me quickly, don't let me and the prince worry about it here-"
"I'm incompetent...... Dr. Sun sighed in a low voice and said, "The eldest prince's leg, I'm afraid there is no hope of recovery." β
"What did you say?" Jin Yuming only felt that his whole body froze.
Hopeless?
Hopeless!
What does that mean?
"Nonsense!" Jin Yuming kicked towards Dr. Sun.
"Shizi ......" Xie Shi hurriedly stepped forward and helped Jin Yuming. was waved away by Jin Yuming.
The bead curtain sounded, and Jin Yuming had already strode towards the inner room.
"Father, father......" Jin Mi, who was lying on the bed, was pale and weak, I don't know if it was because he had just been injected or because he was too frightened, dense sweat crawled all over his face, and when he saw Jin Yuming coming in, he tried his best to get up and sit up.
But I don't know why, I can't hold a little bit of strength!
"What's wrong with my leg?" Jin Mi couldn't get up, so he struggled to move his body to face the outer edge of the bed, and he raised his head. grabbed one of Jin Yuming's arms. With a stunned face, he repeated the question, "What's wrong with my leg?" β
Jin Yuming looked at his son who was so embarrassed, and his heart was almost shattered.
"Am I never going to be able to stand up?"
"No, it won't ......" Jin Yuming shook his head and sat down on the bed. Inch by inch, his gaze condensed into ice.
"Father. You've got to heal my leg. I'm going to have my leg healed! The look in Jin Mi's eyes was indescribably panicked, and he clutched Jin Yuming's sleeve tightly, as if he was in the whole world. Only Jin Yuming is left with a person who can be trusted.
"Definitely."
Jin Yuming responded, but his deep gaze was fixed on the dark window at night.
"It's all Jin Ran...... It's him! He made me like this! Jin Mi desperately looked up at Jin Yuming, mentioning the name Jin Ran, the originally panicked eyes were full of resentment and hideousness, and on the hands holding Jin Yuming's sleeves, the green tendons burst out, and the joints were white.
Jin Yuming's eyes on his son, there was a dull look in his eyes, just like the surface of a lake in the dark night, there was no fluctuation at all, but at any time there might be a terrifying water monster rising from the bottom of the lake, opening its bloody mouth and devouring everything.
"He owes you, and my father will get it back a hundred times for you."
Jin Mi felt a burst of creepiness for no reason, and he couldn't open his mouth for a while, so he could only nod his head stiffly.
Seeing this scene, Xie Shi's expression changed several times, and finally retreated quietly without stepping forward.
β¦β¦
The news quickly reached the upper room.
After Jin Qingyun learned about it, he stood in front of the window for a long time.
This result was expected by him - since he was determined to make a move, he must have made a ruthless move.
But when I really heard it, it was still difficult to suppress the coldness in my chest for a while.
The most disgusting thing in his life is people who can't see his identity clearly.
Sure enough, compared to Ah Chu, he was more like his mother, the woman who ruined his most proud son.
"Master, the second son is back, and now he is waiting outside the door."
A voice sounded behind him, Jin Qingyun still looked out the window, and said in a deep voice: "Let him in." β
After a while, a steady footstep came to my ears.
"The grandson has seen the grandfather."
This voice seems to be different from half a year ago.
Jin Qingyun's eyes flashed slightly, and he turned around.
The coldness on his face was replaced by an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Get up." He looked at his grandson in front of him, who had neatly tied his hair, long boots and black clothes, and a sword at his waist, and seemed to be very satisfied, and said very considerately: "I heard that you went to the two battalions with General Ying before entering the city to deal with the resettlement matters. Have you ever used dinner until now? β
"It has been used in the camp."
"It seems that you have adapted very well to the life of the general's brigade." Jin Qingyun smiled slightly, and after sitting down on the Taishi chair beside him, he motioned for Jin Qi again.
As soon as Jin Qi sat down, he heard Jin Qingyun say: "When your uncle was in Yunzhou, he was still satisfied in all aspects? β
"Uncle is casual by nature, he has been eating and living in the camp, and there is no preposition."
"Your uncle was also a momentary mood back then, and now that he has handed over the talisman to you so reassuringly, it is obvious that he is a very affectionate person." Jin Qingyun looked at Jin Qi and said.
Jin Qi only nodded yes.
Jin Qingyun glanced at him, didn't say anything more on the issue of the talisman, and changed the topic: "I heard that Ah Mi was punished with a rod in the camp before, was it your order?" β
At this time, when the matter of Jin Mi was mentioned, the attitude was already obvious.
"Yes." Jin Qi replied simply.
And this reaction fell in Jin Qingyun's eyes, but it was completely frivolous.
He held the Dao Talisman in his hand. And no one will take it seriously?
Jin Qingyun snorted coldly in his heart, but there was no trace on his face, and he only asked again: "I heard that it was because he entered and exited the place of Fengyue?" β
"Grandfather already knows what is going on, so why bother asking more." Jin Qi raised his head and looked at Jin Qingyun.
This kind of look was extraordinarily calm, but it made Jin Qingyun stunned.
Coupled with Fang Cai's reply that seemed to contain some impatience, it is not difficult to see that his grandson is not in a very good mood at the moment, and he is not even willing to hide it.
After thinking about it for a while, Jin Qingyun deduced the reason.
I'm afraid I've heard something, right?
The delusion was in vain. Don't you have to mess up?
"Grandfather just asked. Why are you so impatient? But are you afraid that your grandfather will punish you? Jin Qingyun was patient, his face did not change at all, and he said calmly: "Although there is something wrong with you in this matter, your grandmother is still in mourning. There was something wrong with him. He deserves to be punished β but you see. No matter when and where, the face of the Jin family cannot be disgraced. Even if you are dissatisfied with him, you should not deal with him in public. β
Fortunately, the news was closed in time. It never spread.
"Naturally, grandchildren are not as far-sighted as grandfathers." Jin Qi looked at the old man in front of him and said noncommittally.
"There will be a next time, and grandfather will not spare you." Jin Qingyun was half-true and half-false, and there was no anger between his eyebrows, so he was extraordinarily magnanimous.
Jin Qi didn't say much, just waiting to hear what he had to say next.
"In addition, there is a family affair arranged for you at home. I wanted to tell you about it another day, but I'll tell you about the things that I haven't done right now. β
"Family?" Jin Qi sneered in his heart.
Arrangement, notification.
I really didn't intend to ask him for his opinion.
"Hmm." Speaking of this, the smile in Jin Qingyun's eyes was a little more, "It's not a girl from another family, it's the daughter of your second aunt and sister in Yilan Pavilion, Jia Rou." β
"Grandfather meant?" Jin asked.
"You're old enough to get married." Jin Qingyun did not answer Jin Qi's question, but said: "Jia Rou is famous among the celebrities in Beijing for her talent and appearance, although her biological father was named the king of judgment, but she is also the orthodox bloodline of the Xie family, you don't suffer." β
"I heard by chance in the mansion before, and people often say that Miss Xie is going to marry the eldest prince in the future." Jin Qi seemed to have some mockery in his eyes, and asked, "Why do you want to give it to your grandson now?" β
"How can the words of the subordinates be taken seriously." Jin Qingyun seemed a little displeased, "Are you dissatisfied with this family matter?" β
Do you really think that with a talisman in your hand, you can do whatever you want?
He didn't think that Jin Qi would be stupid enough to use this as a confidence to disobey his decision.
It is simply wishful thinking to marry the daughter of the Kong family and pull the Kong family to his side.
Facing Jin Qingyun's calm and threatening gaze, Jin Qi was not moved at all, but asked: "The scholar family has always been orderly and orderly, and the eldest prince has not yet set up a main room, why should my grandfather worry about me?" β
"If you're worried about that, you don't have to." Jin Qingyun's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile: "I have set a family affair for Ah Mi - I am afraid that you have not heard of it when you just returned to the capital, your second aunt asked people to go to the Kong family a few days ago to say that they were together, and they were talking about the family affair between Ah Mi and Miss Kong Family, and the Kong family has already given it to Zhun Xin'er, and it is only necessary for Miss Kong to exchange birthday characters after returning to Beijing." β
Jin Qi's eyes were cold, he looked at Jin Qingyun, who was smiling at the mention of this matter, and asked, "I don't know which young lady of the Kong family is it?" β
Jin Qingyun secretly stated that he asked knowingly, but he still replied with a reasonable face: "Shishu is not allowed to intermarry, although the Kong family is different from ordinary Shu clans, but it is also a non-side branch that can be worthy of the identity of Ah Mi - since he wants to marry, he must be the only lady of the Kong family." β
"Grandfather is referring to Kong Xun, who was just compiled into the Kong family tree by Mr. Kong at the beginning of this year?"
"It's her." Jin Qingyun nodded, while secretly observing the change in Jin Qi's face.
"I heard that Mr. Kong also just returned to Beijing today, I don't know where the letter in my grandfather's mouth came from?"
Jin Qingyun said lightly: "The patriarch of the Kong family. β
The patriarch of the Kong family?
Crossed Mr. Kong and found the patriarch of the Kong family directly?
The patriarch of the Kong family has the right to take charge of all the affairs of the Kong family, and Mr. Kong was not in Beijing at that time, which can be said to be impossible to find a trace of mistakes!
The Confucian family has a longer heritage than the Jin family, a Confucian family that treats the world with courtesy and faith, can it afford the hat of repentance of the concubine? What's more, the other party is still a dignified Jin family.
Unlike the self-proclaimed nobility of the Jin family, the Kong family is the real innocent family.
The Kong family tree has gone up for dozens of generations, and I am afraid that it has never left such a stain.
Oh, what a good calculation.
Jin Qi sneered in his heart, but his tone was quite calm: "It seems that grandfather has already figured out how to deal with Mr. Kong's dissatisfaction." β
Is it accurate that Kong Fu dote on this granddaughter again, but he can't leave the family face behind.
Because this matter is not about Jiang Ying alone, nor Kong Fu alone, but the entire Kong family.
No one can afford this kind of fault.
"Dissatisfied?" Jin Qingyun laughed inexplicably and said: "Mr. Kong's willingness to be friendly with my Jin family has not been a day or two, and having this opportunity to kiss and kiss is probably exactly what Mr. Kong wants to see." β
"Does the Kong family know the current situation of the eldest prince?"
Jin Qingyun's eyes were cold.
After a while, he said with a firm face: "Ah Mi's leg injury will be fine." β
Even if it can't get better, it can't be his turn!
Facing the pair of eyes that were gradually cold, Jin stood up.
"The grandson is leaving." He bowed his hand and turned around.
"You ......" Jin Qingyun really didn't expect him to stop there, and pressed to stop asking about it, let alone that he dared not to put him in his eyes so grandiosely!
Looking at the straight back disappearing from sight, Jin Qingyun's tightly clenched fist smashed down on the tea table next to his elbow.
"Hubris and ignorance!"
β¦β¦
"Second lady."
On the second side of the room, only the Xie family sat in the main hall, and a maid wearing an apricot yellow bikini crossed the threshold and entered the hall to salute.
"Is the second son back?" Xie asked.
"I'm back." The maid lowered her voice and said, "I went directly to the master, and the two of them didn't know what to say, but after the second son left, the master smashed the table...... It's not light. β
Xie narrowed his eyes and thought secretly.
"The slave guessed, is it because of the matter of the eldest son, the master reprimanded the second son?"
"No......" Xie shook his head slightly.
At this time, how could the Duke of Jin be willing to reprimand the second son for this?
Not to mention broken legs, even if all hands and feet are broken, now is not the time to deal with the guilt.
The Xiling talisman mentioned in the last letter, I'm afraid it hasn't arrived yet.
But Jin Gong has never been a person who is anxious, so he will not be angry because of this.
Then there's only one possibilityβ
I'm afraid that it was the Duke of Jin who mentioned the marriage that had already been decided.
The second son actually rebelled against the Duke of Jin because of this?
Even if he had a heart, how could he dare?
One is an old fox who is extremely calm, and the other is by no means a reckless person.
Xie Shi's eyebrows jumped, and he became more and more sure of his previous guess.
I'm afraid that what she perceives is only the tip of the iceberg......
"Madam, do you want someone to go to the second son's place to inquire again?" The maid asked in a whisper.
"No need."
Even if it's an inquiry, I'm afraid I won't be able to find out anything.
In the hundred-year-old compound of the Jin family, the deepest is hidden, and until the end, I am afraid that I don't know who it is... (To be continued.) )
