Chapter 318 How can he compare with you?
Lin Bei actually felt her existence for a long time, and just wanted to see how long she could endure it with her temperament.
He smiled, and was about to say "Why are you here", but when he saw the face of the woman in front of him clearly, he suddenly became: "Are you sick?" β
Lin Xi had just pursed her lips, and the person had already arrived in front of her, his hand clasped her pulse, and the two handsome eyebrows were twisted together.
"Senior brother, I'm just a ......"
"Summer Breeze!" Lin Bei interrupted abruptly.
"Lord Shizi!"
"What happened to your girl yesterday?"
"This ......"
Xia Feng hesitated to look at Lin Xi with his eyes.
Lin Xi smiled: "What's the matter, junior brother, you are too careful, but you have suffered some wind chill at night." β
Lin Bei lowered his head and stared at Lin Xi for a long time.
Lin Xi was uncomfortable with him, and said in his heart, what kind of vision do you have, it is a searchlight, and you can see that people have nothing to hide.
She smiled flatteringly and said, "Senior brother, prescribe two medicines for me, those imperial doctors are quacks, and the medicine of junior brother works." β
Lin Bei's eyes flashed, and he said softly: "Judging from the pulse, it is extremely cold, I'm afraid it's raining." β
Lin Xi followed the words: "Exactly, there was a light rain." β
Lin Bei gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Except for the heavy snow in the capital these days, everything else is good weather. Little sister, where did the rain come from for you? β
Lin Xi raised his eyes to look at him, and saw a faint smile on his lips, smiling like a warm moon, like an orchid jade tree, with a refreshing Feng Ya everywhere.
Xindao looks so demonic, why is his IQ still so high. It's really unreasonable.
"Yesterday's anniversary of the former wife, I was invited to go. The lotus fell into the water, and I went to save people, so I suffered some cold. β
The two handsome eyebrows had been twisted into a line, and Lin Bei was silent.
Lin Xi was most afraid of the appearance of the little junior brother, so he fell to his feet and sighed: "Senior brother, not to mention that saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, just carrying me out of the fire at the lotus, I can't see death without saving." β
Lin Xi's expression for a moment made Lin Bei feel a little guilty.
"Konishi!"
"Hmm!"
"What's going on next time. Don't hide it from me. β
Lin Xi smiled and said, "I'm afraid you will scold me." That's what I hidden. But with your cleverness, you can't hide it, it's better to tell the truth. β
"It's good to know!" Lin Bei glared at her.
Lin Xi said with a smile: "Little junior brother, I haven't eaten your dishes for a long time." I want to eat it today. β
An inexplicable word. It made Lin Bei's heart tremble for no reason.
He gave Lin Xi a deep look. Hold her hand and lead her out.
"Like the Lin family village, you burn the fire. I cook. β
"Senior brother, I'm also a young lady now, how can you bear to let me do such rough work?"
Lynsey muttered softly, "Besides, I'm still a patient!" β
β¦β¦
Half an hour later, Lin Xi sat down honestly in the stove room and handed a firewood to the stove. The firelight reflected her little face, which was flushed, and she was indescribably cute.
Lin Bei in front of the stove was holding a knife and cutting vegetables on the board, and his skillful knife work attracted several cooks outside to probe their brains frequently.
Lin Xi looked at the fire burning in the stove, and suddenly said loudly: "Little junior brother, I have encountered a trouble. β
Lin Bei sighed softly in his heart.
"Say, what's the trouble!"
Lin Xi put his head on his lap and said quietly: "Gao Zizhan proposed to me." β
The hand holding the knife suddenly stopped, and Rumo's eyes glanced down. I have long known that Konishi is a pearl hidden in the mud and sand, and as long as she dusts off the dust, she will shine brightly. That jade-like man really has a good eye.
Lin Bei said lightly: "You should go down." β
Lin Xi tilted his head, picked up a piece of firewood and drew circles on the ground: "Senior brother, he is willing to take a concubine for me!" β
Lin Bei's gaze fell forward, and there was no focus. Gao Zizhan was willing to do this for her?
He said for a long time, "You...... The heart is moved. β
Lin Xi shook his head and nodded again, confusion flashed in his eyes: "Senior brother, I don't know." β
"Why don't you know?"
Lin Xi stared at the scorching fire and smiled lightly: "Senior brother, do you remember my wish since I was a child. β
"Yes. You said that you want to travel all over the world, thousands of miles in Kyushu, watch the flowers bloom and fall, and watch the clouds roll up. β
A smile appeared on Lin Bei's face. You remember that when she said this when she was a child, she always put one hand on her waist and pointed to the sky with the other, with a look of pride and yearning.
The brilliance of the sun fell on her, and the small body seemed to be inlaid with a faint pearl, and the brilliance was hazy, as if the mountains and rivers of the world were all under her feet.
"Senior brother, if I marry into Gaofu, I can only be like the Cui family, the Xia family, the Zhu family, and the He family, trapped in this small world, giving birth to children, and managing the boudoir until I am old. If a person's life is only like this, wouldn't it be a disappointment to God's good intention to let me come to this world for a while. β
Lin Bei was silent for a moment.
"Xiaoxi, apart from this reason that makes you hesitate, is there anything else?"
"Yes!" Lynsey said without thinking.
"What is it?"
"I haven't thought about it yet."
"Why haven't you thought about it?"
"I'm hungry, I don't have the strength to think." Lin Xi said with a drooping face.
Lin Bei smiled dumbly, frowned slightly, and said, "In that case, let's talk while eating, I'll let people go to the Drunken Immortal Residence to get two bottles of bamboo leaf green." β
"Great idea!"
Lin Xi stroked his palm and smiled, half laughing, and his sadness rose again.
"I'm taking medicine, can I drink?"
"Nothing!"
"Why?"
"Fight poison with poison!"
β¦β¦
In the palatial private room, a table full of people sits.
Gao Zizhan said loudly: "Please come here today, the juniors do have something to say." β
Hu Wu said: "The eldest young master has something to say. β
Gao Zizhan said with a smile: "The younger generation has a crush, and I want to ask for your opinions." β
"Who?" Cheng Qing, the former Yushi Taiyushi, asked.
"The illegitimate granddaughter of the Marquis of Freedom - Lin Xi!"
As soon as this statement came out. The crowd was amazed. Gao Zizhan took in everyone's eyes.
These people are all proud protΓ©gΓ©s of his grandfather in Beijing, as long as he enters the court as an official, then these people will be his most powerful helpers.
If he wants to marry Lin Xi, the first thing he will do is to get the support of these people first, so if Gao Fu does not agree, he still has a bargaining chip against his father.
Cheng Qingji said unceremoniously: "Young Master, the door is not right, the household is wrong." The Xiaoyao Mansion is just an upstart in Beijing. Start by doing business. This Lynsey is an illegitimate daughter again. In the following thinks - not worthy! β
"yes, not worthy, not worthy!"
Everyone said yes to Cheng Qing's words one by one.
Gao Zizhan stroked his finger around the rim of the cup, and said unhurriedly: "Do you know who the Queen Mother's favorite person is now?" β
Hu Wulang said: "It is Lin Xi, there is no doubt. β
"You know that, too. His father was entrusted by the emperor. Extremely high. If I go out, unless my father takes the initiative to retire, it will be extremely difficult for me to get ahead. My father was in the prime of life. How young does it take? β
Everyone's hearts sank, and deep meaning flashed in their eyes.
"Zizhan thanks to the support of all the uncles and elders, there is no way to repay, only by entering the cabinet can he renew the prosperity of the Cui family. Zizhan is young and can wait, and the uncles and elders are not confused, how can they wait? β
Gao Zizhan's gentle gaze swept over everyone's expressions one by one, and he paused: "If I marry Lin Xi, then with her dignity in front of the Queen Mother, I believe that this time will be greatly shortened." β
As soon as he spoke, Gao Zizhan didn't speak again. The bait has been thrown, and it depends on whether anyone takes the bait.
The protΓ©gΓ© of the Cui family is in danger of being marginalized by the court because of the blow of the Queen Mother, and the reason why these people can support him is because of his grandfather's appeal on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is not a trend of interests.
Now he is just suing them and marrying Linsey, not only can he advance the time for the benefits to be recovered, but also expand the benefits infinitely. The bait is big enough and fat enough that no one should be able to refuse.
My father once said that in this world, there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
In this move, he made a dangerous move, but it was surprisingly victorious. Then the rest is only Gaofu.
Gao Zizhan looked at everyone's pensive faces, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
β¦β¦
Lin Xi sat quietly opposite Lin Bei, there were dishes on the table and wine during the banquet, and she suddenly had the urge to get drunk.
Lin Bei looked at her and smiled lightly: "How many days have you not tasted the bamboo leaves of the Drunken Immortal Residence?" β
Lin Xi lifted his chin and thought about it carefully: "Since I entered the Gao Mansion, it seems that I haven't drunk it again." β
"Do you remember when you were a kid and I drank together?"
"How don't you remember, you, me, and senior sister, one person has a cup, the first to fall down and lose half a year's private money, back to the senior sister to win, I will always be the first to lie down."
The wine has the green fragrance of bamboo leaves, and Lin Xi took a small sip lightly, and the familiar taste is fascinating.
"Senior brother, you say, why do people grow up? If you don't grow up, you won't have so many troubles. β
Lin Bei leaned lazily on the back of the chair, looked at her quietly across a table, and said after a while: "Are you worried about Gao Zizhan?" β
Lin Xi held her chin, also looked at him quietly, and said with a shallow smile: "Yes." Senior brother, what do you say I can do, I can actually make him take a fancy to him. Could it be that my father saw him bullying me in the sky, and begged the old man to pull the red line? β
Lin Bei smiled lightly: "What are you going to do?" β
"I know, I'm going to come and drink with you? Don't you see my brow furrowed? Little junior brother, it's not that I'm too careful. What kind of woman in the capital doesn't, he pleases me, I'm thinking about this, is there any hidden secret? β
After a few glasses of wine, Lin Xi talked more.
Lin Bei put a chopstick dish into her bowl and said, "What if he is sincere to you?" β
Lin Xi's chopsticks paused in mid-air and did not move, and only after a while did he shake his head and said, "It's even more difficult to do it if you're sincere." β
"Why?"
"I don't feel much for him!"
Lin Bei's smile grew.
"Why don't you feel it, he is the husband that all the ladies in the capital dream of."
Lin Xi said blankly: "I want to know, I will still drink with you here." It's strange to say, as long as I think of marrying him and having children, I feel an indescribable awkwardness. β
Lin Xi looked at her without blinking, and said, "Xiaoxi, let me ask you, how do you feel with him?" β
"I want to stay away, for fear that he will reveal the identity of my maid."
Lin Xi quickly answered, and as soon as the words came out, he realized that something was wrong.
Lin Bei didn't allow her to think about it, and said, "What does it feel like to be with me?" β
Lin Xi blinked unconsciously, and thought about it seriously: "Of course I am close to my junior brother." You forget, when you were a kid, first you followed my ass, and then I followed your ass. How can he compare to you? β
Lin Bei clearly saw her own reflection in her eyes, and said with a smile: "The master once said before his death that the way of husband and wife is to be happy with each other, since you don't like him, it's better to push this family affair." Konishi, what do you say? β
Lin Xi bit his chopsticks, nodded appreciatively, and said, "Senior brother, you are polite." Just ......"
"It's just that people are affectionate to me, if I refuse, will it hurt other people's hearts?" Lin Xiqi is worried.
Lin Bei took a chopstick and knocked it on Lin Xi's head: "Is he sad or not, what does it have to do with you?" β
"Yes, it doesn't have anything to do with me."
Lin Xi touched his head, and said after realizing it: "What did you do to hit me." β
"I'm laughing at you for being stupid!"
Dare to call me stupid, Lin Xi grimaced and triumphantly took out a letter from his arms.
"What is this?"
"Cui Jinchen's letter to the Cui family."
"It's finished?" Lin Bei's eyes lit up.
The establishment of the commercial emperor, once the Cui family helps, is like a tiger with wings, and the time can be shortened by several years. Little Senior Sister's move is really a stroke of genius.
"How did you say he was moved?"
Lin Xi took a chopstick dish, put it in his mouth, and said while eating: "Know it with reason, move it with emotion." The Cui family is not stupid, they are shrewd. You send a reliable person to send it over, and by the way, you will meet with the eldest master of the Cui family. β
"Is it to give him a profit in private?"
Lin Xi shook his head with a smile and said: "People have great righteousness in their hearts, and they disdain such behavior, so let's give all the benefits to the Cui family." β
"If you say it, it seems that we have the heart of a villain." Lin Bei also smiled.
Lin Xi raised his glass and said, "True villains and hypocrites, I'd rather be a real villain." β
The two of them smiled, you said a word to me, and the interaction between you and me was quite warm.
Lin Xi forgot about Gao Zizhan's confession to her in a blink of an eye, in her heart, the love of the son of the family is not as good as joining forces with the junior brother to make more money.
Seeing this, Lin Bei hooked the corners of his lips slightly.
β¦β¦
As the night fell, the chill deepened.
As soon as Lin Xi entered the Hou Mansion, someone came to invite him, saying that the third master was entertaining guests in the warm pavilion in the garden, and wanted to invite Lin Xi to go on a visit.
Lin Xi felt inexplicable, refused and went straight back to the room. When he changed his clothes and took off his hairpins, he was about to take a good rest, when someone came to invite him.
Lin Xi looked at the man with a girl's expression, and she cut her stomach every minute with a self-sloppy expression, and in the end her heart softened, and nodded in response.
After half a pillar of incense, Lin Xi wore a honey-colored cotton jacket, covered with a gold-rimmed pipa jacket, and a jasper hairpin was obliquely inserted on his head.
His eyes swept around, and his eyebrows frowned slightly. (To be continued......)
