Volume 1 Crossing the rivers and lakes and wading into temples Chapter 114 Stepping on two boats
Ye Chen and Chen Bing stayed in the Lin Mansion alone for lunch, while Fu Hu and Wu Youtian and others left the Lin Mansion with great interest, saying that they hadn't taken everyone out on the street for a long time, and the big housekeeper Chen, who had always regarded money as his life, gave Fu Hu an unprecedented 100 taels of silver, so that the brothers could eat something good outside at night, and said that they were not in a hurry to play! In this regard, Ye Chen only smiled and did not speak, and the two of them had their own thoughts.
Lin Yanyan's spirit and spirit have been different since Ye Chen came, and Lin Bo saw it in his eyes and smiled in his heart. Chen Bing has been helping her do this and that since she saw the green leaves, she didn't dare to look up when she walked, for fear that others would see her red little face.
Ye Chen and Lin Yanyan didn't know what to do, so they simply ran to the flower garden of the Lin Mansion and began to enjoy the flowers. And the green leaves seem to have something to do, and they can't stop being busy.
Lin Yanyan looked at the green leaves for a while to the east and to the west, and said to Ye Chen with a smile: "You see that Chen Bing scared Ye Er so much that she was at a loss, this little girl usually hides and hides when she is idle, how can she be so busy." It's good today, as soon as Chen Bing came to be busy, she didn't see her idle. ”
"Don't say it, since the last lantern exhibition sent lanterns, the relationship between the two seems to be a layer of window paper." Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Anyway, I don't think Ye'er hates Chen Bing, although she doesn't agree with her mouth, but I still know her after she has been with me for so many years." Lin Yanyan looked at it and ran to the west again, followed by Chen Bing's green leaves and said.
Without waiting for Ye Chen to speak, Lin Yanyan suddenly turned his head to look at Ye Chen and said playfully: "They are both like this, so what do you say is the relationship between the two of us now?" A pair of big round eyes stared at Ye Chen's eyes, expecting his answer.
"Wait, I'll help you carry it!" Who knew that Ye Chen didn't care about Lin Yanyan at all, so he took the opportunity to go to Chen Bing's place to work, and Lin Yanyan stomped his feet. For a lady, it is rare to be able to say such things so actively, but Ye Chen was stunned and did not accept the offer.
After dinner, Ye Chen and Lin Yanyan walked in the courtyard, while Chen Bing followed behind with Lu Ye, and the two of them chattered and laughed from time to time. A day of getting along also eased Lu Yesong's nervous mood, Chen Bing was even more happy, the two didn't look at Ye Chen and Lin Yanyan in front of them at all, it seemed that they didn't exist, Lin Yanyan was also very happy to see this scene.
The good times always pass quickly, and when the two have to leave, they are still in love, and Zou Hu and Wu Youtian and others who have returned from going out to play have also arrived outside the Lin Mansion.
Zou Hu looked at Chen Bing's reluctant appearance and smiled: "Bingzi, why should I hurry up today, it's not the boss who is coming, but you are coming?" ”
Lin Yanyan on the side looked at Ye Chen meaningfully and whispered to him with a smile: "So you are coming?" ”
Ye Chen smiled and didn't speak, the angry Lin Yanyan pinched his back fiercely, and the painful Ye Chen broke out in a cold sweat.
"Ye Chen, why are you like a piece of wood?" Miss Lin said angrily.
Chen Bing, who was on the side, said with added vinegar: "He is a wooden man? I don't know who told me this morning that Lin Wu is back, and he insists on coming to Lin Mansion for nothing, and I don't know where Lin Wu is now. ”
Lin Yanyan smiled instantly when he heard this, turned his head to look at Ye Chen, who was holding his waist with one hand, and said, "Did you say that?" ”
Ye Chen still smiled stupidly and didn't speak, and Zou Hu on the side quipped: "Boss, you don't have a good waist, what have you done today?" ”
Ye Chen couldn't hear the bad words of this kid, and hurriedly said to Lin Yanyan: "Yanyan, let's go back first, and I'll come to see you next time!" ”
"If you had said earlier, wouldn't there be so much to do if you came to see people!" Chen Bing said angrily. The group walked excitedly down the street, singing passionately, but no one noticed the dark shadows behind them.
In a house in the north of Annan Province, the old man who used to call himself a slave of the prince in front of various small gangs looked at the young man in front of him and said: "The prince knows that your brother has a very good personal relationship with Li Linhu, and he also knows that Li Linhu has found you and promised you a high-ranking official, but you have to go by yourself before that?" ”
The young descendant dressed as a scholar said: "Old Li, I know what the prince means, but I'm a grass person, how can I let someone like the prince care so much about me, and San'er is grateful." ”
The old man known as Li Lao was dressed in plain clothes, but there was a murderous aura between his eyebrows, and the young descendants felt very depressed even if they just stood there and looked at him. The old man smiled when he heard that the young descendant was so humble: "Young man, it is a blessing that a young scholar like you can be favored by the prince, it is a blessing that you cultivated in your previous life, you know how many people dream of winning the favor of the prince but can't, you kid can be content." ”
At this time, the door was slowly pushed open, and a bewitching woman in a red robe with heavy makeup walked in, saw the old man curtsied, and said with a smile: "Old Li, I found it." ”
The old man smiled and nodded, beckoned to the bewitching woman and said with a smile: "Yue'er, come here, this young man is Zhao Qingzhou, the third brother of Boss Zhao, you will have to cooperate well in the future." ”
The woman named Yue'er slowly stepped forward to look at the handsome young man in front of her, staring at Zhao Qingzhou with a pair of eyebrows and eyes, seeing that his scalp was numb.
"What a young talent," the woman saluted him and continued, "My name is Jing Yue, you can call me Yue'er." ”
Li Lao said: "She is my goddaughter, you will inevitably contact her in the future, if you have any questions, you can also come here directly to find her, as long as you can help, she will definitely help you." ”
Zhao Qingzhou looked at the bewitching woman in front of him, and only said after half a sound: "I want Ye Chen to die!" ”
Jing Yue hid her face and laughed, making Zhao Qingzhou wonder. Li Lao's eyes were empty and he said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements, Ye Chen won't live long." ”
Zhao Qingming looked at the calm and relaxed old man, and his heart was full of emotion. In order to avenge his brother, he is now stepping on two boats, but what he doesn't understand is what the people behind the old man have taken a fancy to him, why he always keeps an eye on him, and he also volunteered to avenge his eldest brother Zhao Qingming. Before Zhao Qingming had an accident, Zhao Qingzhou was full of ambition, and becoming an official in the court had almost become his only goal in this life. But when his brother Zhao Qingming was beheaded by the executioner at the entrance of the vegetable market, hatred had already occupied all of him.
"The prince will not live up to my Zhao Qingzhou, and I, Zhao Qingzhou, will also live up to the prince's kindness." The young posterior said firmly.
The old man stood up and said, "Okay, the prince admires a young descendant like you, respectable and terrifying!" As he spoke, he took out four or five pieces of rice paper from his arms and handed them to Zhao Qingzhou and said: "This is the poetry commentary written by the children of the Gu Xin Taoist clan, you can take a good look at it, you can use these poetry reviews directly in the literary review at the beginning of next year, and no one will pursue it." ”
Zhao Qingzhou took the rice paper full of articles and poems in the old man's hand, threw it directly on the desk without looking at it, and said without yin or yang: "I, Zhao Qingzhou, have thought that the literary review of Huaisu County, Annan Province does not need these, and ten years of hard reading in the cold window are not as good as those cynical children of the scholar clan!" After speaking, he turned around and left, and Jing Yue was stunned.
After Zhao Qingzhou left, Jing Yue looked at the old man suspiciously, she didn't understand why there were so many talented and beautiful people in Annan Province why her father-in-law only fell in love with this poor scholar. The old man also seemed to see his goddaughter's doubts, so he opened his mouth to explain: "That person Li Linhu forgets his righteousness when he sees profit, you think he will help this stinky boy wholeheartedly for the sake of that little childhood affection, it must be impossible." The old man drank the tea brewed by Jing Yue and continued: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Zhao Qingzhou has a big treasury with millions of gold, but this secret cannot be investigated with his disappearance, and the only clue is his third brother Zhao Qingzhou. In the current situation, money means people, more people means strength, plus the power of the prince, why worry about big things. ”
Jing Yue immediately asked: "Is it worth it to make such a big deal of blood on him just based on unfounded rumors in the rivers and lakes?" ”
"Groundless wind may not be without a reason, besides, the ambition in Zhao Qingzhou's heart is not comparable to the children of the ordinary scholar clan, as long as he passes the literary review and walks out of Annan Road and enters the court, the prince will have a way to make him rise to the top, and the prince's major event in a few years is bound to be inseparable from the support of the palace, and this Zhao Qingzhou will be a chess piece placed by the prince next to that nobleman, and the size of the chess piece depends on the person who holds the chess!" The old man smiled and continued: "In the future, as long as this kid asks you anything, as long as you don't try to satisfy him too much, but with my understanding of him, I don't think I will take the initiative to come to you, what you have to do is not let him leave your sight before he leaves Annan Province and enters Beijing." ”
Jing Yue bowed her head respectfully and said, "Yue'er knows, and she will live up to her father's trust." ”
In the Li Mansion of Gyeonggi Province, the chief housekeeper Lin Bo stood beside him and did not dare to speak out, since he knew that he had made a move, Li Linhu's mood had not been good.
"He is clearly relying on his identity as a prince to ignore the existence of my Li family, and one day I will let him know what it means to take food from the tiger's mouth." Li Linhu suddenly slapped the table and roared.
Steward Li said: "Then if we want to knock on this Zhao Qingzhou again, we have to let him know who is the one who can give him light." ”
Li Linhu waved his hand and said: "No, this Zhao Qingzhou's mind is no worse than his eldest brother Zhao Qingming, if my guess is correct, Zhao Qingzhou is also hovering between me and him." But for the sake of that gold, we have to be a little patient with him, this kid is not easy! ”
"Master, I don't understand, if there is really this batch of millions of taels of gold as rumored in the rivers and lakes, then why doesn't this Zhao Qingzhou take it out and revitalize the Qinglong Gang by himself, why do you still hide it." The chief butler Li Bo wondered.
Li Linhu said with a smile: "This is not a thing in the pool, An can meet this square inch of land!" ”
