Chapter 345 Mo Shang Blossoms
"The second master said that the master favors the third master the most, as long as the third master dies, he will have the opportunity to compete with the uncle. As for the master, the second master is only afraid and hateful. β
Lin Xi suddenly understood. The grandfather favored the Qian family and her children, and as a son who was not favored, he naturally hated it.
What's more, as soon as his grandfather died, he had the opportunity to compete with his eldest uncle, with his scheming and means, how could his eldest uncle be his opponent, and when the time came, the entire Hou Mansion would be under his control.
As for keeping the Qian family, it was to wait for him to ascend to the sky in one step, and better settle accounts after the autumn.
As if to confirm Lin Xi's conjecture, Qiu Yu's voice was as thin as a mosquito: "Girl, then Xue Lian'er is also his person?" β
"What?"
"The second master used 100,000 taels of silver and a set of houses in the south of the city as bait, and ordered Xue Lian'er to approach the uncle, in order to slowly try to figure it out."
Lin Xi closed his eyes, he was really a person who was good at calculation, and it was really chilling to arrange the troops to such an extent.
Lynsey felt sorry for her grandfather in the bottom of her heart. His old man was scheming to earn money for the house, seek a future, and let his three sons be pampered, but in the end he was about to be poisoned by his own son...... Something seemed to have crossed his heart, and Lynsey felt an unstoppable pain somewhere in his heart.
At this moment, Yuan Bao lifted the curtain and came in: "Girl, Manager Li is here." β
"Please"
Mr. Li came in, asked for peace, and said bluntly: "The master invites the girl to come over." β
Lin Xi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Does grandfather want to split up?" β
Manager Li was shocked, how did the girl know about the decision that the master had just made.
"I guess."
Lynsey seemed to know what he was thinking: "You tell your grandfather in private." He has given me enough things in private, and Konishi doesn't want anything, as long as he is healthy and lives a long life. β
"Girl......"
"You tell him that I'll see him later. Go ahead, and order someone to take good care of it. β
When they left, Xia Feng and Qiu Yu surrounded them and looked at Lin Xi with worried eyes.
Lin Xi shook his head and said: "The grievances and grievances of the Hou Mansion are like twisted flowers, tightly entangled, and no one can solve them by himself. Grandfather just in case. I had to send my home early. I'm from outside, and I can't wade through this muddy water. β
The summer breeze and the autumn rain nodded in unison.
β¦β¦
Lynsey avoided the front yard, but the news reached her ears as soon as possible.
The eldest son, Li Congwang, and the second son, Li Cong, lived in Gaofen Mansion. Got a thousand acres of fertile land. 200,000 taels of silver. The youngest son, Li Congwang, took over all the jewelry business.
A moment later. There was news that the old man ordered the second master to move out of the Hou Mansion that night.
When Lynsey found out, she just smiled. She dropped her head lightly and wrinkled her eyebrows silently.
β¦β¦
When the child is young, the night is as cool as water.
Lin Xi sat in front of his grandfather's bed, took the medicine handed by his servant, and fed it into Li Yingjie's mouth one by one.
After a while, after Li Yingjie drank half a pill, he waved his hand and said, "Child, my grandfather has lived to this age and understands a truth. β
"What's the reason?"
"Between people, it comes to fate. My father-son relationship with that son of evil is over, and his life and death have nothing to do with each other. β
Lin Xi smiled: "Grandfather, if there is no cause, where can there be effect." This is also to blame for the unfair handling of the grandfather in the past. β
"If there is no cause, there is no effect." Li Yingjie muttered to himself.
Lin Xi hurriedly persuaded: "Grandfather doesn't have to be sad, since the family property has been divided, the children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." My grandfather just took care of his body. β
Li Yingjie seemed to think of something, and coughed repeatedly.
Lin Xi looked at his gray hair, and couldn't bear it, but he didn't know how to persuade him. The grandfather and grandson sat silently opposite each other for a while, and Li Yingjie suddenly spoke.
"Is there any news in the palace?"
Lin Xi shook his head: "No news yet." β
"No news, good news. Has the letter to the prince been delivered? β
Lin Xi shook her head, and she smiled, "It's not there yet. I believe that the Queen Mother, an old man, will change her mind. After all, behind the prince, there is also a Jing prince. β
Li Yingjie's heart was as uncomfortable as fire, but he couldn't say anything, he only sighed deeply: "What I give you, I must take it well, and I can't say it to anyone." Go, grandfather is tired. β
β¦β¦
Lin Xi walked out of the courtyard and did not return to Xinxin Courtyard, but walked to the courtyard of his third uncle Li Congwang. Halfway through, she felt like a scoundrel and turned back.
These elders in the house, although Li Congwang is the most unbearable, but in comparison, Lin Xi gets along with him the most, and his relationship is a little deeper.
This time the family was separated, and on the surface, it seemed that the eldest uncle inherited the title, but in fact, only the third uncle got the benefits and benefits.
That's it, that's it, maybe she won't stay in this house for a long time, it's better to watch from afar.
β¦β¦
As soon as the Hou Mansion was divided, the Hou Ye wrote to the emperor and let the eldest son inherit the title.
Zhao Jingqi never cared about the idle affairs of this house, and only sent someone to send the recital to the Queen Mother.
When the Queen Mother saw it, sorrow came from it.
She clearly remembered that the Hou Ye was planning to pass on the title to the third child, saying that he could protect Xiaoxi.
At this time, Li Yingjie gave up the title and inherited it to the boss, which seemed to be inadvertent, and secretly resisted her.
Even he can't protect him, let alone Li Congwang.
She silently shed tears, but finally nodded in agreement.
The second master moved out of the mansion in one room, and the Hou Mansion was suddenly empty.
After this incident, the Qian family simply pushed the housekeeper and handed over the inner house to the eldest grandmother. He waited for the man with peace of mind, and his son recuperated. Compared with the stewardship, the man and the son are the most important.
Lin Xi was still in front of her grandfather's eyes as before, the only difference was that she often went to King Jing's mansion, and stayed for half a day.
For the first time, she felt that Lin Bei had gone so far this time. Half a month has passed.
β¦β¦
Lin Bei, who was worried about Lin Xiji, had successfully rendezvous with King Jing at this time.
King Jing entered Shandong this time because of the invitation of several of his friends, who were either rich or noble, and they were all brothers who had lived with him.
King Jing deliberately asked Lin Bei to come over. It's to keep the connections going. For those who achieve great things, strength is one thing, and connections are another.
Therefore, after the father and son entered Shandong, they quickly mingled with others, eating, drinking, and playing on the surface, but there was something else inside.
On this day, Prince Jing was invited to Yihong Courtyard, and Lin Bei was invited by the protΓ©gΓ© of the Cui family to drink, and the two acted separately.
Late at night, Prince Jing walked out of Yihong Courtyard with a slight smoke. Just about to get into the carriage. Suddenly, there was a soft roar, and several black-clothed people rushed out of the surroundings, shining with bright big knives, surrounding Prince Jing.
The retinue rebelled. However, the kung fu of the people who came here was really high. A moment later it collapsed.
King Jing's eyes darkened. Draw your sword and face the Assassin. The assassin had never imagined that the scrawny King Jing could do kung fu, and let out a long howl, and seven or eight more men in black poured out around him.
King Jing saw that there were so many masters in ambush in the dark. Secretly scolded me for my life. One punch was invincible to four hands, and he didn't pay attention to any of them, and was stabbed with two arrows in the chest and fell on the spot.
When Lin Bei arrived, King Jing fell in a pool of blood, only hanging on his breath. Lin Bei's eyes were red, he picked up the person with both hands, and ran wildly to the collapsed post house.
β¦β¦
These two arrows pierced quite badly, and the centrifugal veins were only more than an inch, if it weren't for King Jing's secret efforts, he would have died in Huangquan.
It took two days and two nights for Lin Bei to rescue the person from the ghost gate, and he was so tired that he collapsed on the ground, sweating profusely.
King Jing was in distress, shocking Shandong, how dare the Shandong Governor despise it, and ordered someone to secretly investigate. Strangely, this group of assassins seemed to fall from the sky, and it seemed to fly from the sky, but they came and went without a trace, and there was no trace of them.
The Shandong Governor was in a hurry, and there was a mess in his territory, in case the emperor blamed him, Xiang Shang's head would not be protected.
Lin Bei also sent secret guards to investigate, but the strange thing is that there was no clue.
Seeing that the return journey was imminent, King Jing was not out of danger, he discussed with Qi Jin and Qi Hui, and decided to let Qi Jin return to Beijing to send a letter to Lin Xi, and he stayed in Shandong to treat King Jing's illness and continue to track the news of the killer.
Ten days later, in the early hours of the morning, Prince Jing will wake up, and the first thing he says when he wakes up is: "Lao Tzu is alive or dead." β
Lin Bei stepped forward to stroke his pulse, and said with emotion in his eyes: "Father-in-law, you are still alive." β
King Jing saw that his eye sockets were sunken, his beard was sloppy, and he still had the taste of a beautiful son, and knew that it must be this kid's best effort to let him live.
King Jing rolled his eyes and said again: "Good son, my father-in-law is fortunate to have you." And he fainted again.
Lin Bei let out a sigh of relief, got up and walked outside.
Just when Qi Hui came back from outside, he saw Lin Bei frowning and was silent, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Childe, there is still no clue." β
Lin Bei's eyes sank.
In this world, there are not many people who want to calm the king's life, and there are even fewer people who have the strength to dispatch so many secret guards, and all of them are top masters, who will it be?
Lin Bei groaned in his heart.
"Childe, could it be someone from Wei who did it?"
Lin Bei shook his head: "What do the people of Wei want to do with their father-in-law's life?" It's not like it's their handiwork. β
"Then who wants King Jing's life?"
Lin Bei was silent: "I'm just wondering, why the two swords of such a top master pass by the heart and lungs, it shouldn't be." β
"Maybe it's due to panic."
Lin Bei shook his head and looked at the sky silently.
After a long time, he sighed softly: "In this way, I'm afraid we will have to stay here for a while." β
Before leaving, he promised Xiaoxi to return to Beijing as soon as possible, with her temperament, she was afraid that she would not say it on her lips, but she would remember it secretly.
Qi Hui knew that Gongzi was thinking about Miss Xiaoxi, so he hurriedly smiled: "There is nothing to do in Beijing, and it is defenseless to stay here for a while." Moreover, as soon as the news of the assassination of the prince came out, those who were on good terms with the prince were rushing here. Childe can take the opportunity to make friends with one or two. β
Lin Bei smiled bitterly: "The matter has come to this point, and I plan to do the same." I don't know if Qi has entered Beijing. β
β¦β¦
Qi Jin had quietly entered Beijing two days ago, and met Lin Xi in the dead of night. He presented Gongzi's letter, and then told her the original story of King Jing's assassination.
When Lin Xi learned of King Jing's assassination, he was shocked and hurriedly asked, "How is the junior brother?" β
Qi Jin shook the fat on his face and said with a smile: "The son is fine, the person who came was to go to King Jing." β
Lin Xi returned and gasped.
Qi Jin said again: "The girl has any letters to bring to the prince, in addition to delivering the letter for the girl, I also need to get some herbs for the girl." The prince's illness lacks a few medicines, and only in Beijing has them. β
"When are you leaving?"
"A day later."
Lin Xi thought about it, got up and went into the study, and slowly grinded it with his own hands.
I have a lot to say in my heart, I want to tell him about my situation, I want to talk about my grandfather's condition, and I want to talk about my lovesickness.
A thousand words, there is no way to speak, since you can't help, you can't make trouble for him.
Lin Xi pondered for a long time, only on the paper, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced and wrote a line of words: "The flowers on Mo bloom, you can return slowly." β
Lin Bei, you will definitely understand my mind.
β¦β¦
Five days later, Lin Bei received a letter from Lin Xi.
In just eight words, plain and warm, and his feelings are especially heavy, he read it more than a hundred times, and then carefully folded the paper and put it in his arms.
If there is a person in this world that Lin Bei is willing to love with his life, there is no doubt that she is Lin Xi.
In the eyes, there is no end in sight. On the lips, there was a faint smile.
Mo is blooming, and he is like an arrow!
β¦β¦
The marquis is sick, and people from all walks of life come to visit him.
Gao Zizhan entered the Hou Mansion for a while, and the eldest lady Gao Jasmine was also with him.
Lin Xi was not surprised by the arrival of these two, only in her expectation. Cast it with a peach and repay it with a courtesy, this is the style that the family should have.
The Cui family also sent a housekeeper to visit the patient and sent two fine 100-year-old ginseng. Lin Xi smiled.
Cui Jinchen's illness has improved, but he still can't move, and he can only recuperate in another hospital.
He sent people to invite Linxi to come over the house for a while, but Linxi was lazy and didn't want to move, he just wanted to be filial to his grandfather.
Although Imperial Physician Liu in the palace came to the Hou Mansion every day to check the pulse, he was old and took a few poisons, and his body recovered very slowly.
Lynsey was extremely uneasy about him.
Autumn goes to winter, and January passes.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and after a few winter rains, the streets are full of fallen leaves, which is a bit bleak.
There was no will in the palace, and when Lin Xi and Li Yingjie saw it, they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Lin Xi only said that the Queen Mother was afraid of Hou Ye's illness and had changed the candidate for harmony. Hou Ye only said that the Queen Mother was reluctant to Lin Xi and wanted to fight for her.
On this day, the capital, which had been raining for several days, suddenly cleared. At the north city gate, a group of people came, and as soon as the group entered the capital, there was a fast horse to report to the palace.
The people who came were none other than the King of Chu and General Liu of Wei. The two did not go to the post house to rest first, but went straight to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager Xinguo.
β¦β¦
Empress Dowager Li was in front of the big tank at this time, feeding a tank of fish, and when she heard the palace people coming to report, the fish food was scattered all over the ground, and the people took a few steps back.
Chunyang's eyes were quick and he was quick to hold on.
"Queen Mother!"
Empress Dowager Li waved her hand and slowly closed her eyes.
The day has finally come.
After a while, her phoenix eyes opened, burst out with a little light, and let out a long sigh: "It is rumored that the king of Chu of Wei has come to see." β
Wen Ruihao and his entourage strode into the Changmen Palace, and talked secretly with the Empress Dowager Li in the palace for a whole hour before leaving.
Suddenly, hundreds of Praetorian Guards in the palace came out one after another. After half a cup of tea, the Praetorian Guards surrounded the Hou Mansion. (To be continued......)
