Chapter 1021: Small Gathering
Jintaifang, Lin Mansion.
Although the wedding has passed for several days, some doors and windows are still posted with the words "Happy", as if they are in the honeymoon period, so that the house is still full of festive colors.
An official sedan chair returned from outside and was carefully lowered in the front yard.
A young man wearing a four-grade official uniform got out of the sedan chair, nodded slightly at the butler Lin Yuanbao who greeted him, and walked directly towards the inner house.
Recently, there has been no major event in the Shuntian Mansion, and with Huang Zhongda's depression, the entire Mansion seems to be very "harmonious", and Lin Haoran will go home on time every day.
It's just that the Shuntian Mansion has no worries, which doesn't mean that he can be carefree, and he is actually worried about something in his heart.
"Xianggong, you're back!"
After hearing the news, Wu Qiuyu, who was combing the woman's headdress, also came to the Hanging Flower Gate, wearing a dark brown cardigan and a golden phoenix hairpin on his head, like a virtuous wife waiting for the return of the husband.
From a girl to a young woman, she became the mistress of the Lin Mansion, which made Wu Qiuyu also seem a lot more mature. Especially recently, many official wives have taken the initiative to visit, so that she is also slowly changing.
"Well, how is home?"
Lin Haoran nodded slightly, and asked casually.
If it were someone else's family, I am afraid it would be the same answer, but in the Lin family, it is destined to be peaceful, Wu Qiuyu pursed her lips and smiled: "Today, Hu Niu took Xiaobai out, and she ran back just now, she seems to have lost Xiaobai!" ”
"Xiaobai lost?"
Lin Haoran's brows furrowed slightly, he always felt that this matter was not very reliable, and he faintly felt that there was another article on this matter. Xiaobai's nose is almost like a police dog, and it is quite spiritual, how could it be lost.
It's just that he couldn't be bothered by a Tibetan mastiff, but he went back to the room and changed into a set of scholar's clothes. Before the sun set, he went to the gazebo in the backyard to rest alone.
He sat alone at the stone table in the pavilion, sipping tea like an elderly official, while admiring the view of the back garden.
The time has come to the end of March, not only the weeping willows by the pool, all kinds of flowers in the flower field, and even a few lotus leaves in the lake, this garden seems to be full of spring.
The little golden monkey is very spiritual, and seems to like the rockery very much, and is squatting on the highest place, facing the sunset, eating nuts, and stuffing his cheeks into bulging.
But the dusk was very short, and night fell quickly, and the house was hung with lanterns.
Hu Niu came back from outside with Xiaobai, and Yang Futian and Ning Jiang also rushed here from the south of the city as agreed, Yang Futian shouted that he was hungry as soon as he entered the door, and resolutely regarded this place as if he was his own home.
The grinning Yang Futian is in stark contrast to the old Ningjiang, but what is surprising is that these two people often haunt, and their relationship is very good.
The dishes came up quickly, with a combination of vegetarian and vegetarian dishes, and there was a boiled fish unique to Linfu.
Lin Haoran never intended to use coarse tea and light rice to advertise himself as an honest official, from Leizhou Mansion to the present, the diet is not very luxurious, but it is definitely not bad.
"Those who know me, senior brother!"
Yang Futian's eyes lit up, and he picked up a piece of snow-white and delicate fish fillet with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, eating it with great pleasure.
"Beware of holding you to death!"
Ning Jiang's eyes couldn't tolerate a grain of sand, and he looked at Yang Futian like a starving ghost reincarnated, and cursed dissatisfied.
Yang Futian stuffed two pieces in a row, originally to argue, but his mouth was too full and he couldn't spit out clearly, and instead glared at Ning Jiang with a provocative gaze.
Lin Haoran is no stranger to these two people who are too old. But he found that there was a scratch on Ning Jiang's neck, so he naturally didn't think it was Xiao Jin's doing, so he threw away his inquiring gaze.
Ning Jiang showed a bitter look on his face, and shook his head gently, looking unspeakable.
"Still can't find it?"
When he was about to eat, Lin Haoran suddenly asked seriously.
The most important thing at the moment is naturally to find the position of Shuntianfu Yin. But what made him feel helpless was that until now, he still hadn't found out who the candidate Xu Jie wanted to recommend was.
He once whimsically met with himself, but after his temptation, he knew that it was an impossible thing. After Xu Jie got rid of Yan Song, the next one may not be Yuan Wei or Guo Pu, but Wu Shan, who has the highest prestige.
It's just that compared to Yan Mansion's side, Xu Jie is indeed too able to hide himself. If he hadn't asked Yan Song that day, and Yan Song told him the truth, he really didn't know that Shuntian Mansion Yin was already in Xu Jie's hands.
But if you don't know who your opponent is, it will undoubtedly become tricky, and it will be half the effort.
"Yes! I've had people look through them one by one, but there's no clue at all! ”
Yang Futian took advantage of the financial support of the United Business Group to quietly weave an intelligence network in the capital, but he had no clue about this matter, and couldn't help but shake his head in shame.
Ning Jiang added wine to Lin Haoran, and originally wanted to taunt Yang Futian, but thinking that this kind of thing was really not easy, he finally endured it.
"Leave him alone! We drink! ”
Lin Haoran is not a person who drills the horns of the bull, and he raises his wine glass.
"What are you looking for?"
Tiger Niu walked over from the side hall with a big chicken leg, and asked curiously with her big beautiful eyes.
Although she is eleven years old and has a height of one meter two, she is still not constrained by the status of the eldest lady of the official family. She still likes to walk around with a big chicken leg after eating.
No, looking at the excitement here, I came here.
Yang Futian and Ning Jiang have known Lin Haoran for a long time, so they naturally know what kind of character the tiger girl is, and they also know that the tiger girl dared to go to Beijing to find her brother back then, and they also looked at the tiger girl with a smile.
Lin Haoran's brows furrowed, and he immediately lowered his face and said, "Don't make trouble!" ”
"Brother, when did I make a mess? I don't even know how much I've helped you! Tiger Niu pulled a piece of oily chicken thigh meat with her teeth, and argued vaguely.
Yang Futian didn't have any prejudice against Hu Niu, but asked with a smile: "Hu Niu, we want to know who Xu Ge Lao wants to recommend to take over as Shuntian Mansion Yin, can you find out?" ”
"I ...... Can't find it! The tiger girl first tilted her head seriously and thought for a moment, then shook her head honestly and replied. After all, her strength is catching thieves, and this listening to intelligence has never been her specialty.
This answer did not surprise Lin Haoran, but the tiger girl added confidently: "But I have a way, which should be able to help you find out!" ”
