Emperor Qixiang was rarely interested today, and took his son and ministers to hunt, and Lin Hou was also considered to be both civil and military when he was young, so he naturally accompanied him. The saint was in a good mood today, and even went down in person, shooting a few deer and rabbits back. The emperor has shown his skills, and these ministers naturally cannot be idle. Forget about Chun Wenchen, but anyone who can ride a horse and pull a bow will end up with great interest.

Lin Hou is naturally not exempt from vulgarity, but in the end, he is old, he has been riding a horse for a day, and when he goes home at night, he feels that his arms and legs are not his own, and he even relies on people to help him get off the horse.

When Lin Ruhai came back, he was running into his father helping the big housekeeper Lin Liang like a snail, moving forward little by little. He hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said with a smile: "Master, what's the matter?" ”

Lin Hou glared at him, "Unfilial son, don't help me in quickly." ”

Lin Ruhai hurriedly helped Lin Hou, and the two of them rubbed together in the big study, Lin Hou waved his hand, and the person who was waiting immediately flashed away, and he lowered his voice: "I'm afraid that the saint's body is really not good, and several princes are fighting fiercely now, even Prince Ning is not exempt from vulgarity, I am afraid that there will be a dragon and tiger fight in the future, you have to be careful, don't get involved too deeply." At that time, he reminded his son that he was very close to King Ning and was easy to be targeted, and he must be vigilant.

Lin Ruhai also lowered his voice: "My son can save it." "Since Ning Wang Xiao Jin entered the Ministry of Rites to study, he rarely comes to the study, but from time to time he will invite Lin Ruhai and Yang Ze to go out for gatherings, and even Princess Ning will often ask Jia Min to come over the house to talk. Last month, Princess Ning was pregnant, and others didn't bother to see it. But the relationship with Jia Min is getting closer and closer, and I think about it very much when I don't see him for a few days. provoked King Ning to laugh, and his wife didn't see Jia Min and make love when she saw him. The two families are so close. It's no wonder that after Xiao Jin became more and more liked by Emperor Qixiang, the rest of the princes looked at Lin Ruhai more and more unpleasantly.

Lin Hou understood in his heart, but he said in vain, "You and King Ning...... Alas...... "Do whatever you want." On that day, his son worshiped Mr. Yuan, and he was still very excited, but now he regrets it a little.

Lin Ruhai smiled freely, "Master, don't worry, I watch the relationship between the sage and King Ning." is extremely harmonious, and King Ning may not have no chance. "Although the saint's heart is unpredictable, look at the princes who have grown up now, needless to say, the second prince and the third prince, the emperor almost didn't put the word hate on his face. The fourth and fifth two, the biological mother is low, the sons are all crowned kings, and their motherhood is not long, which shows their status in the emperor's heart. It was King Ning Xiao Jin. As a concubine, her mother is also very popular with the emperor. Look at how many things have been rewarded in the palace since his wife's pregnancy. If, the emperor's health is really not good. King Ning's chances of ascending to the throne are the greatest. If the saint's body is still healthy, then King Ning Xiao Jin will be in trouble.

"I hope so." Lin Hou sighed, were they forced to stand in line?

"Father. You don't need to push it any harder. Xiao Jin's hand pressed on Emperor Qixiang's body, focusing on the rubbing. From time to time, I asked my father how he felt.

Emperor Qixiang was lying comfortably on the soft couch, smiling on his face. asked casually: "Xiao Qi, who did you learn from?" ”

"Like the sea." Xiao Jin sold Lin Ruhai without even thinking about it.

"Him?"

Xiao Jin said with a smile: "Ruhai has the habit of getting up early and exercising in the morning, and when Lin Hou knows about it, he also gets up every day and moves with Ruhai." At the beginning, he felt that his body was sore, and Ruhai specially consulted the imperial doctor, and after every morning exercise, he would give Lin Hou a relaxation. ”

"Hey, I'm old, I didn't feel tired when I was young and I rode for a day, but I can't get out of bed after riding for a long time today." Emperor Qixiang sighed, "Fortunately, I still have a filial son, so I don't have to envy Lin Lu's old thing." ”

Xiao Jin smiled shyly, "Erchen saw that his father was much younger than Lin Hou, and now he saw that Lin Hou's hair was mostly white. Listening to Ruhai, his parents are not in good health, Mrs. Lin is often sick, Lin Hou has a hard mouth, and he refuses to say anything uncomfortable in his body. Ruhai was so worried about this that his hair was about to fall out. ”

At the mention of Lin Ruhai, Emperor Qixiang thought of his father-in-law, Jia Daishan, and sighed.

Xiao Jin peeked at Emperor Qixiang's complexion, gritted his teeth and said, "Father, you have to take care of your body, if you have any discomfort, you must announce the imperial doctor as soon as possible." ”

When Emperor Qixiang heard this, he stared at Xiao Jin expressionlessly, Xiao Jin also looked back calmly, and after a while, Emperor Qixiang showed a smile, "Xiao Qi, you are a good boy." After speaking, he sat up and said with a smile: "Let's go, look at your mother's concubine, the wild things we hunted today are just for her to taste." ”

Xiao Jin responded with a smile, stepped forward to help Emperor Qixiang get up, and it was not until he left the palace gate and went to Concubine Shu's palace that he felt that his body was soaked with sweat, and the wind blew, and it was cold.

In the palace, Emperor Qixiang and Concubine Shu and Xiao Jin and Le Rongrong, in the study of the Marquis of Jing'an, it was cold and piercing, and the room was full of people waiting, and they didn't dare to come out, and the atmosphere was gloomy and scary.

But before he said that, Lin Ruhai sent Lin Hou back to the study, and helped him beat it again, Lin Hou felt that most of the pain in his body was gone, and then sat up with a smile, "Ruhai, I came back from hitting a deer, and I have been sent to the kitchen, and I will have a drink at night." ”

As soon as Lin Ruhai heard that Lin Hou had come back from beating the deer, his hands were itchy, and he got up and said with a smile: "My son cooks himself and cooks two appetizers for the master." The son is filial, and the father is naturally happy, and he said repeatedly: "Go ahead, go ahead, if you don't do well, I will punish you." ”

"The lord sits widely, and the son will come when he goes." Lin Ruhai's mind has already begun to turn, what is braised or fried, roasted, etc., all kinds of methods have been gone through in his mind, and he even thought that the rest was made of dried meat, his wife must like it.

Lin Ruhai went to the kitchen, Lin Hou smiled at the corner of his mouth, took the book and read it. Suddenly, the scholar from outside came to report, saying that the cousin girl had something to see Master Hou.

Lin Hou was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed, he thought that Sister Shang Fengzhi had suffered some grievances and came to complain. "Call her in." Xindao, it's good that my son went out, otherwise it's really hard for them to meet.

Shang Fengzhi had already sent a girl to inquire, and once Lin Hou returned to the house, he would go back to her immediately. The little girl got a reward. really went to inquire with his brother quietly, and when he heard that Lin Hou had already returned home. was talking to the uncle in the study in the front yard, and hurriedly went back to tell Shang Fengzhi.

Shang Fengzhi heard that Lin Ruhai was also in the study. When I hesitated and thought about it, I was ruthless and came to the front yard. Their sisters are helpless, if they become Lin Ruhai's concubine, what should their sister do? With Mrs. Lin's current situation, she can't control her sister's life at all, and she doesn't want to entrust it to Jia Min. has lived in this mansion for a few years, what kind of character the eldest grandmother Jia Min is, Shang Fengzhi thinks she still knows something. Her jealousy was a little bigger. No one is allowed to get close to Lin Ruhai, if she is really made into Lin Ruhai's concubine by Mrs. Lin, whether she is voluntary or not, she and her sister are on the opposite side of Jia Min. Jia Min hates herself, how can she do her best to find a good family for her sister, it's not bad if she doesn't assassinate her. Even for the sake of his sister, he can't agree to this, even if he offends Mrs. Lin, there is no way to do it. Who let her not be able to fight her daughter-in-law!

Shang Fengzhi made up his mind, entered the study, and knelt down in front of Lin Hou without shedding tears. didn't cry, only said calmly: "Uncle, although Feng Yun and I both died and our family was in the middle. I had to take refuge with my uncle. But we are the daughter of the eunuch's family, although her parents are dead. But our sisters cannot tarnish their innocence. ”

Lin Hou was confused when he heard this, "Where do you start with this?" But what gossip did someone in the house gossip? Or has someone wronged you? Just say it. I'm in charge of you. ”

"Uncle, the Fengzhi sisters received the great favor of their uncle, and they were originally broken bones. It is said that my aunt has a life, and we should not refute it, but ...... Even if we are slaves and maids, our sisters have no complaints, but we can only be concubines for our cousins, and we must not. Please forgive my uncle, this is the only one that my sister must not follow. After that, he kowtowed a few times and knelt on the ground, silent. Looking at that look is more poignant than crying.

Listening to Shang Fengzhi's words, Lin Hou was so angry that he trembled, if Mrs. Lin was here, he could directly strangle her. After a long time, he calmed down his anger before he said: "Good boy, get up quickly, your aunt is sick and confused, and her words are not accurate." "It's really good to say nothing, so I coaxed Shang Fengzhi back.

Lin Hou sat in the study, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. This scourge can't be kept, I originally thought, slowly Tuzhi, it seems that it can't be done, and if I stay, I don't know what else will happen, the reputation of the Lin family, his reputation, the future of his son, and the grandson in the daughter-in-law's womb, maybe they will be destroyed in her hands. Where did this wild ghost come from, with such a big hatred for the Lin family, if she didn't destroy the Lin family, she would not be reconciled, right!

In Songfeng Courtyard, Shang Fengzhi went to the study, and someone soon reported it to Jia Min. Jia Min thought about it for a while, and it was easy to think of Mrs. Lin, who could force Shang Fengzhi to go to Lin Hou to complain, and Mrs. Lin could be regarded as capable. Speaking of which, Jia Min has never understood, why did this person do so to death? Lin Ruhai is not her own son, does he have any children, does he have a dime to do with her? is so worried that Lin Ruhai will cut off her children and grandchildren, is there no place for her mother's love to be revealed?

Lin Ruhai was very busy, arranged a full deer feast, and asked someone to send it to his wife, and he came to the study, planning to accompany Lin Hou to dinner. As soon as I entered the study, I felt that the atmosphere was not right, it was too depressing.

When Lin Hou saw his son coming back, he reluctantly showed a smile, "Mrs. is not well, I have to go over and take a look, you go back to Songfeng Courtyard to accompany your daughter-in-law." ”

Lin Ruhai really has a thousand wishes, and he has to show filial piety, "My son should go to see his wife with the master." ”

Lin Hou flatly refused, "No, my wife is not in good health, and there are too many people to see her noisy, you just have this filial piety." "That's not my son's own mother, it's just a ghost, what if I hurt my son? Lin Hou now hates to completely isolate his son from Mrs. Lin and never see each other again.

Lin Ruhai was driven back to Songfeng Courtyard by Lin Hou, and he went to the main courtyard. As soon as he saw Mrs. Lin's face, he couldn't stop the murderous intent surging in his heart. Forcefully closed his eyes, let the meal be set, he picked up the bowl, quite a little unable to swallow.

Mrs. Lin peeked at Lin Hou, and when she saw that his face was sinking like water, she didn't dare to say much, and ate silently. At this meal, she only felt that she was gambling on her heart, and then she was a little out of breath.

After the meal, Lin Hou didn't leave, and sat quietly with the tea bowl, so that Mrs. Lin couldn't leave, so she sat with her.

Mrs. Lin couldn't bear it anymore, and asked, "What is there to worry about, master?" ”

Lin Hou glanced at her sideways, which made Mrs. Lin's back cold, and she couldn't help but feel a white sweat. Lin Hou's eyes. It's scary. Looking at her eyes, there was no trace of heat in the cold. It's like looking at the enemy of life and death, not his wife.

"Let's all go down. I have something to say to my wife. Lin Hou waved his hand, and the girl waiting in the house slowly retreated. When I got outside, I was gagged by the people who had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time and tied aside. Lily and the others were so frightened that they were trembling, and they didn't know what they had done, and they were arrested by the master.

Inside the house, Mrs. Lin didn't know that the people around her had been arrested, and she asked Lin Hou with a smile: "I don't know what the master wants to tell me?" It just so happens that I have something to discuss with my lord. ”

Lin Hou snorted. "Someone."

"Sir!" A man with an ordinary face came in, lowered the rope, and stood aside.

Mrs. Lin unconsciously stepped back, and looked at Lin Hou in horror, "Old, master, what are you going to do?" ”

Lin Hou calmed his face, took a few steps over, grabbed Mrs. Lin and threw her on the ground. Even when Mrs. Lin screamed and ran out, she kicked her down. The man grabbed the rope and tied it tightly with his hands and feet, and his mouth was gagged.

Lin Hou gasped for breath. He sat down and scolded in a hateful whisper, "Devil, your time of death has come. He raised slightly: "Take it in!" ”

This time it was a man in his forties. In his hand he held a copper basin, which was filled with stinking blood. Lin Hou pointed to Mrs. Lin on the ground. Shouted: "Splash!" ”

In Mrs. Lin's incredulous gaze, there was a basin of black dog blood. Poured his head on his head. Mrs. Lin saw the man, turned over her hand and took out a few talismans, and pasted them directly on herself, where she still didn't understand, this was her identity revealed. She struggled violently, her mouth whining, Lin Hou had already turned his back and refused to look at her again.

"Take a good look at her, call those girls to serve tomorrow morning, and don't allow people in this courtyard to step out of the main courtyard, and don't allow others to enter the main courtyard." Lin Hou said coldly.

Lin Hou finally glanced back at Mrs. Lin, and saw that she was dumbfounded, covered with blood, and her appearance was terrifying. He said coldly, "A demon like you should have been burned to death." It's just that I can't bear to see my wife's bones gone, so I look out for it. ”

When Mrs. Lin heard this, she struggled again, tears streaming down her eyes and begging. Lin Hou turned around and left, and when he returned to the study, he only felt that his clothes were soaked with sweat, and his body was not as heavy as his own. He lay down on the bed, obviously tired, but he did not feel sleepy, and kept his eyes open until dawn.

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, the person who took care of Mrs. Lin quietly came to report, "Mrs. has a high fever and is already unconscious." ”

Lin Hou said calmly: "Pack it up, go and ask the imperial doctor." ”

"Yes."

When Lin Ruhai and Jia Min got up in the morning, they heard that Mrs. Lin was sick, and Lin Hou had already gone to ask for a doctor. Lin Ruhai hurriedly got up and dressed, and instructed Jia Min: "I'll go over and take a look, you take your time, don't worry." ”

When Lin Ruhai arrived at the main courtyard, Lin Hou was already sitting, looking very haggard, much like a husband who was anxious about his wife's illness. But Lin Ruhai still found something different, such as the girls in the main courtyard, everyone had a panicked look on their faces, and they were all at a loss. and those mothers-in-law, who are also very raw. No, it should be said that in the main courtyard, except for Mrs. Lin's personal girl, the rest of the people are very raw, and the number is much less.

"Sir, how is my wife?" Lin Ruhai asked softly.

Lin Hou said: "Very sick. ”

Hey, how can you get so sick? He came here yesterday morning, and the old witch was in good spirits. Lin Ruhai carefully observed Lin Hou's expression and found that there was a hint of relief in his eyes. Sniffing closely, there was a faint smell of blood in the air inside the room.

Just as the imperial doctor came out, Lin Hou stepped forward and asked eagerly, "How is Neiko?" ”

"The cold evil entered the body, and I was frightened again, which is very bad." The two imperial doctors shook their heads with heavy faces. Mrs. Lin Hou's illness is very dangerous, and it is not easy to treat.

"Let's take a few doses and take a few doses."

"There's two of them." Lin Hou gave the imperial doctor a lot of silver, but when he turned around, he sent his son, "You go to class." ”

Lin Ruhai said tentatively: "My wife is sick, my son should be at the bedside." Then he turned around and ordered, "Go and ask grandma to come over." ”

Lin Hou stretched out his hand to stop, "It's just a minor illness, I don't need you." You should go to school, and you don't have to come to your daughter-in-law, because she has a body and has seen her illness. ”

Lin Ruhai left with a belly of questions, Lin Hou didn't even enter the house, only ordered someone to guard the main courtyard, and also got up to work.

Jia Min packed up and took the girl and mother-in-law to the main courtyard, but was stopped at the door, and a mother-in-law with a raw eye said with a smile: "Grandma, the master has ordered, the wife is unwell, she needs to recuperate, and no one will disturb her much." ”

"My wife is sick, and I, as a daughter-in-law, should serve at the bedside." Jia Min smiled, "I hope my mother will talk to my wife." ”

"Hehe, don't embarrass the slave and maid, this is the master's order."

"Then I'll go back first, if anything happens to my wife, my mother can just send someone to call me." Jia Min's mind turned a few times, nodded with a smile, and led people back to Songfeng Courtyard.

Mama Yu whispered: "Those mothers-in-law were transferred from Zhuangzi by the master, and the mansion that they only entered two days ago was not transferred to the inner house. The implication is very clear, it should be Lin Hou's person. It's just that I don't know what mistake Mrs. Lin made and was put under house arrest by Lin Hou, "In the morning, our uncle went, but I didn't see my wife's face." ”

What could it be! It's just that Mrs. Lin saw that she was pregnant, and thought it was an opportunity to give her son a concubine. It seems that Yahuan is easy to be cleaned up, and someone from outside comes in, and she is afraid that she will not share her heart, and she is even more afraid that Lin Hou will not agree, so she hit the Shang family sisters with her idea. I thought that it would be a matter of nine out of ten, but who would have thought that the Shang sisters didn't listen to her mercy and didn't say anything, but went to Lin Hou to sue her.

As for Lin Hou, he should be able to think of it. Last time, for the sake of a girl who came out of a brothel, Mrs. Lin had already designed a biological son. This time, Lin Hou was afraid that she would make another stupid move, and it would not end well at that time, and she would have to take advantage of the reputation of the Lin family and Lin Ruhai's future. Even Lin Hou could not escape a reputation of coercion. Therefore, he immediately made a decision and directly put Mrs. Lin under house arrest, and no one was seen, and she was not allowed to come out.

When Lin Ruhai came back in the evening, Lin Hou called him to the study, "Your cousin of the Shang family is not young, go back and tell your daughter-in-law that it's time to prepare a dowry for them." I have already looked at the two of them, and after the negotiation is done, I will come to the next hire. ”

Lin Ruhai asked knowingly: "Who is it?" He was scolded by Lin Hou and scolded out of the study.

When he returned to Songfeng Courtyard, Lin Ruhai first put a smile on his wife's belly and reported to the child that your father is back. Then he hugged his wife and kissed him big, stroked his stomach with both hands, and began to brush the child's favorability. It wasn't until Jia Min got annoyed and pushed him to get up that he reluctantly sat opposite and changed the subject: "The old man asked you to prepare a dowry for the Shang sisters." Lin Ruhai is very dissatisfied, his wife is pregnant with a baby, how can she be tired!

Jia Min nodded when he heard this, "I prepared it early in the morning, the wood is everything, and when I order someone, send someone to measure the size, and then hit the furniture." "A girl's dowry is a lifelong thing, and Jia Min is very generous in this regard, and she has never treated the Shang sisters badly.

Lin Ruhai complained aggrievedly, "The master said that he had found a good family for his cousins, so I casually asked who it was, and he was scolded for being a bloody squirt, he was too unreasonable." ”

Jia Min covered her lips and smiled, "You cheap girl, I just thought about giving you Fengzhi as a concubine, of course the master has to be guarded." ”

Lin Ruhai jumped up, "I knew that it was the old witch again." But what does the old man prevent me from doing? Am I the kind of womanizer who is greedy for flowers! "He was really upset.

Lin Hou still told Lin Ruhai in the end that the families he booked for the Shang sisters were all squires, the family had land and land, and the husbands and daughters-in-law were all educated and motivated. Jia Min asked people to inquire, and they all said that one of the mothers-in-law was a little more powerful, and she couldn't help treating her daughter-in-law harshly.

Jia Min frowned, she couldn't tell her father-in-law directly, she could only tell her husband.

Lin Ruhai made a microphone, and Lin Hou frowned, "I have also inquired, the Li family is dignified, the eldest son and the second son are both educated and motivated, especially the second son has this talent, and it is not impossible to go further." He had already planned for Fang Miaoxiang and his two nieces, selected a few people, and watched it for a few more years before he proposed it.

Lin Hou had made up his mind, but Jia Min couldn't, so he could only sigh secretly, afraid that Feng Yun would not have a good time in the future. (To be continued......)
