Chapter 361: Exposed
Lin Zhu has become a hot figure in the capital again.
After coming out of the palace, many people wanted to know why Lu Dao was so lucky, although she was accompanying Concubine Lan, she was nominally her aunt, but it was proposed by the emperor to accompany her in the palace, what an honor it should be.
Lin Zhu's good fortune directly stimulated the mother's family of some harem concubines. However, because the queen mother of Zhilu Dao could not let the daughter of the He family enter the palace to accompany her, even if she was jealous of Lin Zhu, no concubine dared to speak to the emperor and wanted to invite her family members into the palace to accompany her.
So many people are jealous of Lin Zhu, but also want to have a good relationship with her, if one day, Lin Zhu soars, maybe he will also carry one or two.
So General Chang's mansion received many invitations, all of which invited Lin Zhu to attend the meeting. Although there is some trouble, she can't blindly refuse, lest people say that she is too arrogant.
So even if he was a little resistant in his heart, Lin Zhu still chose some invitations that could not be shirked and went to the meeting.
Although he said something insincere, it was also good for Lin Zhu's interpersonal relationship, everyone didn't know her well before, and the circle of noblewomen in the capital was very small, so they were a little xenophobic. Therefore, few people would take the initiative to associate with Lin Zhu before.
Now that Lin Zhu has become a hot fragrance, those noble girls have to befriend him, only to find that Lin Zhu is not as low as they imagined because of his previous status, and he does not know the etiquette. On the contrary, it was Lin Zhu's rules and etiquette that were the same as everyone's ladies, which surprised them.
"The bamboo girl is tired these days." Lin Zhu returned to the General's Mansion, and General Chang asked a little jokingly.
"It's not because of grandpa." Lin Zhu said weakly. Those young ladies are really curious, and Lin Zhu has told about what he saw and heard in the palace on many occasions. But they still asked her again and again again and again to speak again, twice, three times. It really made Lin Zhu tired to cope.
"If there was another thing like this, I wouldn't go." Lin Zhu took a sip of tea, patted his chest, shook his head and said.
"Hehehehehe, well, it's pretty much the same anyway. You've made a complete appearance in the capital. It's okay not to go. General Chang nodded and happily agreed to her request.
In a month, I attended no less than ten banquets of various kinds, and I also knew the people I should know. That's enough.
General Chang asked her to participate in these people's invitations, which also paved the way for Lin Zhu's future. If she and Mu Qiyue can really get married. Then, these people are all her relationships, and they don't necessarily ask people to do things. But acquaintances will always meet and fall in love.
As Lin Zhu, who will live in the capital for a lifetime, these are indispensable.
With a 'bang', another teacup was shattered. "Why does that stinky girl have such good luck?" Lin Mansion, Lin Qingxue was in her own room, losing her temper.
She has always had an opinion about Lin Zhu, even if the Zhao family once asked her to reconcile with Lin Zhu, Lin Qingxue was only perfunctory. In addition, the previous rumor incident did not make Lin Zhu leave Beijing in shame, so Lin Zhu became a heart disease for Lin Qingxue.
Now that she has entered the palace to accompany Concubine Lan, and she is welcomed by all the major families in the capital, such good luck makes Lin Qingxue even more jealous.
The most important thing is that she once met Mu Qiyue at a banquet, and when she shyly and timidly mentioned to him that she had a relationship at Princess Changmin's garden party, Mu Qiyue actually said that she didn't remember.
If it was just like this, she wouldn't be able to do anything, but she didn't expect Mu Qiyue to not only be cold to her, but also didn't take her seriously at all.
"Miss Lin Si, there are some things that people don't know, unless they don't do it. If it weren't for Xiaozhu's face, you wouldn't be sitting here so peacefully. Mu Qiyue's words made Lin Qingxue's face turn pale in an instant.
"What does he mean by that?" Lin Qingxue was very surprised, "What does it have to do with Lin Zhu?" She was very flustered, and she had a very bad feeling in her heart.
couldn't help but remind her of what she had asked her subordinates to do before. Those rumors slandering Lin Zhu and wanting to use the opportunity of cooperating with Muyue Commercial Bank to cling to Mu Qiyue were spread by her. However, because it was very secretive, even the people of the Lin family did not notice it. And this matter seems to have been forgotten by people, so Lin Qingxue has long forgotten about it.
Suddenly, Mu Qiyue mentioned it secretly, and he had a very positive attitude, indicating that he had not given up on tracking down the source of the rumors at all, and of course he had successfully learned that it was her who did the 'good' thing.
Thinking of Mu Qiyue's attitude, Lin Qingxue was very scared, she was only an eleven or twelve-year-old child, although she had scheming, but when she really encountered such a thing, she was still weak-hearted.
Lin Qingxue, who hurriedly returned home, explained everything to the Zhao family, after all, the rumors at that time also affected Mu Qiyue, and she was really afraid that Mu Qiyue would tell her that she was the mastermind. If that's the case, she'll definitely be discredited.
Not only do outsiders look down on her, but the Lin family will also punish her.
"Mother, what should I do? What should I do? Lin Qingxue pulled Zhao's sleeve and cried with tears on her face.
"Why are you so confused!" Zhao was also frightened by the news. However, she was more worried about Lin Qingxue's reputation, "What the hell is going on?" You start from the beginning. ”
Lin Qingxue told her about knowing Mu Qiyue, and explained that because she didn't like Lin Zhu and was jealous that she had a relationship with Mu Qiyue, she created rumors in a hot head, and told it all from beginning to end.
The Zhao family had a great headache, not only because of her daughter's recklessness, which caused trouble for herself, but also because she did this, almost cutting off Hui'anhou's plan to befriend Lin Zhu.
If Mu Qiyue reveals the truth of the matter, the reputation of the Lin family will also be discredited, and all the young ladies of the Lin family who have not left the cabinet will also lose their good marriage. There are two of them, who can guarantee that the other ladies of the Lin family will not have such evil intentions? Or is there something more unbearable? At that time, Lin Qingxue will become the eternal sinner of the Lin family, and the punishment she will receive is unimaginable.
This kind of thing can't be hidden at all, and it can't be hidden from the family. Although from Lin Qingxue's mouth, Mu Qiyue will not tell the truth of the matter. On top of that, he also mentions Lin Zhu.
Zhao thought about it carefully, and first appeased Lin Qingxue and let her stay in her yard. After Lin Shurui returned home, the Zhao family first told him the truth about the matter, and then discussed with him how to deal with it.
Lin Shurui was very angry, but he knew that this was not the time to teach Lin Qingxue a lesson.
"What else can I do? I must tell my father and mother about this. He didn't have a negotiating tone.
"What the husband said is that the concubine thinks the same way." Zhao placed a cup of tea in front of him. "It's just that the concubine thinks it's better to talk to her father first."
The Zhao family knows very well that the entire Lin family. Except for Lin Yuewei and Lin Qinglan. There is another person who has a very good impression of Lin Zhu, that is, the head of the Lin family, Mr. Lin.
The Zhao family used to think that Old Man Lin would only allow Lin Zhu to make friends with Lin Yuewei just for the sake of General Chang's face. But. Think about it. It doesn't seem to have much to do with General Chang. Because the two did not have a closer connection with each other.
So Zhao boldly guessed that Old Man Lin actually liked Lin Zhu, although she couldn't understand the reason.
"Didn't you explain it to your mother first?" Lin Shurui hesitated, Mrs. Lin liked Lin Qingxue very much after all. If you tell her the old man first, will Lin Qingxue suffer less?
In Lin Shurui's opinion, it is certain that Lin Qingxue will be punished, and the Zhao family is also mentally prepared for this.
"Mother, the concubine will take Xue'er to ask for sin. But after all, my father and General Chang are old acquaintances......" Zhao stopped and did not continue, but the meaning was very clear, and the impact could be minimized through this relationship.
"Why the hell did Cher do that?" This is also what Lin Shurui doesn't understand. In his opinion, Mu Qiyue is not excellent, and people who are interested in business are already inferior. Where is there any future.
"Mu Sigongzi's talent is no worse than those literati. Maybe even better. From Lin Qingxue's description, Zhao understood why she was attracted to Mu Qiyue.
Talented, but not ostentatious, outstanding temperament, but not domineering. And to establish such a successful Kizuki trading house on his own, such a person is undoubtedly successful.
"Our daughter has the same vision as the concubine, and the fourth son of Mu is extraordinary." Zhao slammed Lin Shurui lightly.
"Okay, I'll go to my father first. You'll go back later. Lin Shurui agreed with Zhao's idea. got up and walked towards Old Man Lin's study.
After a while, the Zhao family also took Lin Qingxue to ask for guilt.
Of course, Old Man Lin was furious, and angrily pointed at Lin Shurui's nose and scolded him for having no way to teach his daughter and marrying a wife who was not virtuous.
Lin Shurui was scolded and confused, but after all, his daughter was at fault first, so he could only let Mr. Lin teach him a lesson.
Old Man Lin, who vented his anger, was also helpless about what had happened. However, it was about Lin Zhu, and he had to be cautious.
Old Man Lin had already had the intention to take Lin Zhu back, so he would always let Lin Yuewei contact Lin Zhu. It is hoped that through the interaction between the two, the rest of the Lin family will have a better impression of Lin Zhu. The second son's family did a good job in this.
But as his biological father, Lin Shurui's performance disappointed Mr. Lin. Now, Lin Qingxue has caused such a thing, which really makes Old Man Lin in a dilemma. Not only was he very disappointed in Lin Qingxue, but he was also tired of the Zhao family. Lin Qingxue did something wrong, of course, she had her own reasons, but Zhao, as a mother, was also responsible for negligence.
Therefore, without waiting for the Zhao family to ask Mrs. Lin for guilt, Old Man Lin said that the punishment for their mother and daughter was that Lin Qingxue was grounded for one year, and without his permission, he was not allowed to leave the house for a single step, and he was not allowed to leave his yard within three months, and he was punished for copying the female training a thousand times.
Although the Zhao family was not grounded, Old Man Lin deprived her of the right to educate her children, and all Lin Shurui's children, regardless of their grandchildren, moved to the outer courtyard for men, and handed over to their nurturing mothers.
Although the Zhao family was dissatisfied, there was almost no right to oppose at this time. I had to follow Old Man Lin's instructions. Fortunately, Old Man Lin didn't tell Lin Qingxue about it, and the rest of the people in the house didn't know anything at all. This also made Zhao breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, the more people who know the Dao, the more danger there is to be rumored. If this continues, it will be a matter of time before Lin Qingxue is ruined.
At the beginning, Lin Qingxue would accept the punishment seriously. But as Lin Zhu's various good news came one by one, the unwillingness in her heart became more and more vigorous. There was a scene of smashing the cup before.
It took six hours to cut out a chapter, and in order to make the connection between the heroine and her ancestors go smoothly, a lot of brain cells died. The remaining two chapters will be added one after another, please forgive me for breaking my trust again. (To be continued......)
