Chapter 220: The suspicion of the high minister
Lin Xi's lips twitched slightly, and he grinned: "Senior brother, now my identity is not as good as in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I can be regarded as a master, who dares to bully me?" ”
Lin Bei didn't even look at her, and sneered: "You are just an outsider, and now that you have the queen mother, the favor of the Hou Ye, it is difficult to reluctantly become a thorn in the eye of others, a thorn in the flesh." Others don't dare to say that Li Fengjin is a big-hearted person. ”
Lin Xi closed her eyes, then opened them, and said with a smile on her face: "She just doesn't come to me, I also want to find her, deceive my senior sister, and make her fall into embarrassment, how can I make her feel better." ”
"Oh, who's going to hit me again!" Lin Xi's head hurt and screamed miserably.
"Can you?"
Lin Nan said indignantly: "Don't make trouble for me." Honestly stay in the Hou Mansion for a year or two, and help the master to do her filial piety. Go home early when you're done, and you don't always remember it. ”
Lin Xi was beaten, he didn't dare to hum, and he hurriedly laughed and said: "Senior sister, good senior sister, don't worry, I saw her and left, it's all right." ”
Lin Nan saw that Lin Xi's attitude was quite sincere and repentant, so he put away his anger and stuffed the peeled oranges into her hands.
Lin Xi lowered her head and stared at her senior sister's white jade-like face, smiling flatteringly.
How could Lin Nan be really angry, stroking his junior sister's hand, and talking about the trivial matters around him. The two haven't seen each other for a long time, and just a few words, they are as good as one person. You stuff an orange in my mouth, and I stuff a melon in your mouth.
Lin Bei looked at the two of them with a smile, his slender fingers twisted up the chess pieces, as if he was thinking about what to do next, and as if he was listening intently, silently guarding as in the past.
……
Shin country, Nagato Palace.
Empress Dowager Li was dressed gracefully and luxuriously, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and a shallow smile overflowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Invite the Xiangye here today, and the mourning family will not turn around and wipe their feet, I just want to ask about the marriage of the eldest young master of your mansion."
Gao Zecheng heard this, and the light flashed in his eyes. Count the days, today is the day when the free marquis will lift the ground. After the next dynasty, the queen mother kept him under the pretext of discussing national affairs, and he already understood most of it in his heart at that time.
Sure enough, he had just entered the Nagato Palace with his front foot, and the Hou Yaohou with his back foot had already entered. The two looked at each other and sat down in steps.
Gao Zecheng smiled slightly, got up and replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, the dog's marriage has not yet been decided, and it is ...... Look at each other. ”
"We're still looking at each other!" Empress Dowager Li dragged a long tone, and looked at Xiaoyao Hou out of the corner of her eye.
Li Yingjie understood, and hurriedly got up and said: "Gao Xiang, last time I went back to the mansion to hold a banquet, my unsuccessful daughter spoke wildly, and I asked Xiangye not to take it to heart." ”
Gao Zecheng said indifferently: "Miss Guifu is innocent and lively, but she is a person of temperament. ”
Empress Dowager Li sighed in her heart, the matter really didn't work out. In this world, women are described with words such as gentleness and virtuousness, intelligence and cleverness, knowledge of books and etiquette, peace and obedience.
Li Yingjie knew in his heart that the Prime Minister would not marry his daughter Li Fengjin as his wife, but he was not surprised when he heard this, and there was no surprise on his face, and he smiled: "Thank you for the compliment." There is one more thing, the high minister needs to accept my worship. On that day, I took people into Gaofu to look for people, and Gao Xiang was magnanimous, allowing me to look around, and this kindness was remembered in my heart and I did not forget it. ”
Empress Dowager Li said with a smile: "Hou Ye's thank you is too simple, according to the meaning of the mourning family, you need to set up a banquet, and thank you for the important thing, it is right." ”
Gao Zecheng thought about the doubts in his heart these days, waved his hand and said: "It's just a trivial matter, not enough to worry about." Hou Ye found his relatives, congratulations. There is a saying, I don't know if to ask? ”
"Gao Xiang, please speak!"
"The granddaughter of the Hou Mansion, she concealed her identity and covered her true face to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, I don't know what the so-called thing is!" Gao Zecheng simply picked the words away.
Without waiting for Li Yingjie to reply, the Queen Mother coughed lightly and said, "I have asked the child for Xiangye." The child said that she lost the gambling contract with her father and had to sell herself to the prime minister's mansion. Because of his beautiful appearance, he covered his true face with his face. The mourning family speculated that the child's father was originally a person from the rivers and lakes, and Xu had formed a relationship when he was young, and he was afraid that after his death, someone would seek revenge, so he used a bet to make him go to the prime minister's mansion to escape the world. ”
Gao Zecheng's heart moved, and it seemed logical to listen to this, but there was a bit of truth in it, and it was not all known, so he smiled lightly: "I see." ”
Empress Dowager Li looked at her leisurely eyes and said with a smile: "There was a fire in the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, I don't know if the Prime Minister found out or not?" The child told me that she almost died in the fire. ”
Gao Zecheng didn't know why the Queen Mother asked about this, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but be a little frightened, so he smiled and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the fire that day was originally caused by a few cheap maids in the house who were jealous of Lin Xi. One of the lowly servants had received retribution and died in the flames, and the others had been sold. ”
Empress Dowager Li's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she said lightly: "Little girl, you have the courage to kill people and set fires, and Xiangye still needs to restrain the servants in the house." ”
Gao Zecheng looked at the Xiaoyao Hou beside him with deep eyes.
That Linxi is just the illegitimate granddaughter of the Hou Ye outside, and she is not an important person, the strange thing is that the Queen Mother not only kept her in the palace for three months, but this questioning seemed to have the meaning of standing up for her, which was quite unbelievable.
"The queen mother can rest assured, the ministers will definitely restrain the servants in the house."
Without waiting for the Queen Mother to answer, Gao Zecheng said with deep meaning: "As the saying goes, if you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing." This child suffered from this hardship and fell into the blue eyes of the Queen Mother, which really responded to this common saying. ”
When Li Yingjie heard this, his heartbeat missed a few beats, and he secretly said that the Queen Mother must have protected her too much, which made Gao Xiang suspicious, and hurriedly covered up: "If this child's grandmother is in the sky and knows that the Queen Mother takes care of her descendants like this, she will be pleased that she and the Queen Mother had a handkerchief friendship back then." ”
What a person the Empress Dowager Li was, when she heard Li Yingjie's words, she suddenly became smart.
The person in front of him is not an idle person, but the minister of a country, the only assistant minister appointed by the first emperor. This person is young and high-level, and he is the best at observing words and feelings, and he can see the subtleties. If you don't notice any of them and show clues, then ......
Empress Dowager Li's heart moved, and she hurriedly followed the words of the Hou Ye: "The mourning family made friends with her, I thought it was ...... Who knows...... That's it, there is no need to mention the past, Hou Ye needs to take good care of her descendants, so as to be worthy of her friendship back then. ”
I see! Gao Zecheng's suspicious gaze was instantly clear.
Seeing this, Li Yingjie became angry, dragged his slightly chubby body, knelt down and thanked him: "The minister respects the Empress Dowager's decree." ”
……
"Senior sister, do you mean that Erya is in our house now?" Lin Xi's red lips opened slightly, and his eyes were full of surprise.
Lin Nan smiled playfully, raised his chin towards Lin Bei, and said, "I sent it away and ran back, I have to follow my junior brother, saying that it is also good to be a rough maid." ”
Lin Xi squinted, kept looking at Lin Bei, slowly stretched out his hand, crossed his eyebrows with his fingertips, shook his head and sighed: "Demon, demon, junior brother, another woman from a good family, fell into your hands." ”
With a delicate touch, the slightly cool fingers inadvertently crossed the skin, Lin Bei's hand twisting the chess pieces paused slightly, and said with a smile: "In front of Twelve Niang and Tie Dan, I have made my words clear." Otherwise, no matter what, they would not dare to leave people behind. ”
Lin Xi held her cheeks and sighed meaningfully: "Tut-tut, as the so-called near the water building is the first to get the moon, junior brother, your peach blossom style is peerless, you have to be more leisurely." ”
Lin Bei's eyes flashed, and he smiled lightly: "What is the little senior sister worried about?" ”
Belch!
Lin Xi was shocked. yes, what is she worried about? It's really salty and worrying, people are melon fields and Li Li, lonely men and widows, living in the same room, and it's about her.
A person like her, who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, loves to listen to slanderous gossip, and has deep concentration, even if these two people stripped naked and fought with goblins and were bumped into by her, they should also say "continue, continue", and then follow the example of the senior sister, move a small bench, and watch without saying a word. Only after the fact, I made a little comment, and I showed my female nature.
Lin Xi shook his head and said with a smile: "Erya's crying skill, I am afraid that you will reach the end, in the midst of her tears, the white flag raised." ”
The corners of Lin Bei's mouth rose high, and he looked at Lin Xi fixedly for two seconds.
I rubbed it, and Lynsey shuddered.
This guy is not only a demon, but a scourge. A pair of peach blossom eyes discharge kung fu, simple no one can compare, Lin Xi shook his head again, the good thing is that she is a person who has seen the world, otherwise, she can't hold it, and she doesn't pounce on it.
Lin Bei saw it as he wished, the waves in those black eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, as faint as a wisp of floating smoke in the sky, if he didn't look closely, there would be almost nothing.
Lin Nan didn't notice the looks of the two, and said to himself: "Use it here today, just go straight home, Twelve Niang has been talking about you for a long time, by the way, take a look at your own yard, my junior brother and I have taken a lot of pains." ”
Lin Xi sighed, "How much silver does this cost?" Senior brother, you didn't go to sell blood, did you? ”
Lin Bei's eyes fell on her cheek-holding hand, took a deep breath and said, "It's not necessary, it's hard to say in the future." ”
When Lin Xi heard this, he raised his eyebrows, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms with a smile, and sent them to Lin Bei.
"Here is 100,000 taels, in order to prevent my junior brother from selling blood to feed the family, I will make a generous contribution."
100,000 taels?
Lin Nan gasped, grabbed the silver tickets and counted them, and exclaimed, "Where did you get the silver?" ”
Lin Xi pursed her lips and smiled, like a child stealing candy, and said happily: "It was given by Master Hou, saying that I have been wronged over the years, and I will make up for it with some private money." It's useless for me to put it there, it's better to let my junior brother take care of it, so that my senior sister's dowry will be more generous in the future. ”
"Xiaoyaohou, what a big stroke!"
Lin Nan sighed: "As soon as he makes a move, it will be 100,000 taels, Xiaoxi, in this way, he should be good to you." ”
"It's not just good, it's simple!"
Lin Xi sighed: "Food and clothing, maid and mother-in-law, are the best." So good that even I was a little surprised. After all, I'm just the daughter of his illegitimate daughter, and I'm a generation apart. But at least to show that he and my grandmother back then were afraid that they would love each other to death, and the land would collapse. ”
"Except for Master Hou, how do the other people in the mansion treat you?" There was an unspeakable undercurrent hidden in Lin Bei's eyes, and he hit the nail on the head. R1152
