Volume 1 Chapter 51 Recruitment
Mrs. Lin nodded again and again, "I agree." ”
For a moment, it seemed that the whole room was full of joy, and then the two discussed some details of the etiquette.
The daylight was slightly off, and the yard was no longer stuffy.
A stage has been set up in the garden, and tables and chairs have been set up under the stage, and tea and delicate pastries have been placed on each table.
The ladies and ladies took their seats.
"I heard that today's play is a newly rehearsed play by the troupe, called "Man Yuan Chun", which is sung by the top brand himself." Mrs. Chang knocked on the melon seeds, her face full of disdain.
When the other ladies heard this, they began to talk to each other, but no one spoke to Mrs. Chang anymore.
Tan Xinxia held her cheeks and snorted, "Mother, I don't like to hear this the most, can I go to find Junyu?" ”
Second Mrs. Tan took Tan Xinxia's hand and said softly, "Jun Yu will also come over to watch the play in a while, so you can sit patiently." ”
When the words fell, I saw Mrs. Lin and Lin Junyu walking over together, sitting in the middle position, and Lin Junyu sat next to Tan Xinxia.
"Xinxia, try the plum blossom cake made in the kitchen, this is the plum blossom that my mother specially ordered her maid to collect last winter, and now it tastes good in this weather." Lin Junyu picked up a piece and handed it to Tan Xinxia.
Tan Xinxia took the plum blossom cake, put it to his mouth and took a bite, and suddenly a plum blossom fragrance melted in his tongue, and the pastry was soft and glutinous, and he couldn't help but praise,
"That's good." She turned her head to look at the pastries on the other tables?
Lin Junyu guessed her careful thoughts, and said to her, "The first two rows are plum blossom cakes, and the back are osmanthus cakes." If you want to eat, I'll ask the maidservant to bring you some later. ”
"Uh-huh." Tan Xinxia finished eating one and took another.
When Second Mrs. Tan saw it, she complained, "Your mouth is not idle, you just had lunch, and your stomach is hungry." "Pointing to Lin Junyu,
"Look at your sister Junyu, with a slender figure, look at you again, when you get married in the future, you won't even be able to wear a wedding dress."
"Mother......" Tan Xinxia frowned, "I'm just a little greedy, look at what you said." ”
Lin Junyu covered her mouth and smiled, "Auntie, don't make fun of Sister Xinxia." Speaking of marriage, she turned her head and asked, "I don't know if Sister Xinxia has someone she likes, if she has, it's better to marry early, and the provincial aunt will nag you." ”
Tan Xinxia's cheeks were red when she was asked, her sister Tan Xinchun is a famous first beauty, and Tan Xinxia is naturally not far behind.
"No, sister, don't laugh at me."
Second Mrs. Tan was interested, "Your eldest sister is married, and your eldest brother will marry Jun Yu soon." It's time to think about your own marriage. His eyes fell on Jun Yu,
"Jun Yu, do you think that there is a better son in this capital, suitable for Xinxia?"
It's all his own family, Lin Junyu naturally thought about it seriously, "If you want to say that the famous nobles in the capital, in addition to Tan Mansion and Lin Mansion, only Luan Mansion and Chang Mansion remain, and there are two little princes who have not married princesses, Chang Mansion is needless to say." My aunt will consider Luan Mansion and the two little princes. ”
"Mother, don't you remember what you said about your eldest sister in the morning, it may not be good to marry a famous nobleman." Tan Xinxia's tone also rose upright.
Hearing this, Mrs. Tan nodded slowly in agreement with her daughter's words, but, "Mother doesn't want you to live a better life, after all, the family style and family discipline of the famous nobles are strict, and there is no need to worry about the silver." ”
"Alright, Mom. Let's watch the show. ”
Yin Yuxi, who was sitting in the back row, could hear the buzzing in her head, and looked at Cheng Jiahe who was listening with great interest, so she had to move her lips and continue to look at the stage.
The exquisite movements of the drama on the stage made the people in the audience exclaim, and the beautiful voice was even more beautiful.
At this moment, Yin Yuxi saw a robe exposed backstage, which was very familiar, she squinted her eyes to carefully observe the play on the stage, and then looked at the people sitting under the stage to rest.
Generally, there are about 20 people in a troupe, and there seem to be forty or fifty people in this troupe, forty or fifty people? ! Yin Yuxi suddenly thought of something, and thought of the familiar robe just now, it was actually Aunt Yang's person!
Aunt Yang naturally had ulterior motives when she sneaked into the Lin Mansion, and she couldn't startle the snake, because she didn't know if Aunt Yang wanted to arrest her, or catch them all.
"Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest." Yin Yuxi grabbed Cheng Jiahe's shoulders and hurriedly said to her, "There is something wrong with this troupe." You hurry out of the Lin Mansion now, go to Luan Yi, and ask him to send someone over quickly. ”
Cheng Jiahe was very puzzled, and he also wrote down the words of Yinyuxi in a panic, and left the crowd calmly.
Just after Cheng Jiahe left, Yin Yuxi felt dizzy, she rubbed her head, and looked ahead, several young ladies had passed out on the table.
"What's going on? What's going on......"
The play on the stage also stopped, and more than 20 black-robed men with makeup came out of the backstage, and when they saw that they were not dizzy, they were directly knocked unconscious, and carried all the young women to the boxes behind the stage.
Yin Yuxi watched Yang Gu come slowly, and the fear in her heart was even worse, and she reluctantly pulled the hairpin on her bun and pierced it into her palm.
It's a pity that Aunt Yang ran over in three steps and grabbed the hairpin in her hand, "It's a ruthless person." Turning to the man, he commanded, "Tie her hands and put her in the first box." ”
Yin Yuxi was already confused when she heard this.
Soon these people put all the young ladies in the box, and quickly lifted the box and went out of the Lin Mansion smoothly.
Although the guards of the Lin Mansion were a little surprised at how the troupe left so quickly, they couldn't see anything unusual, and they wouldn't ask more.
On the other side, Cheng Jiahe sat under the wall of the Lin Mansion and passed out. Yinbei had already ridden to the Soft Fragrance Pavilion and found Luan Yi.
"Luan Gongzi is not good, something happened to the Lin Mansion. The county lord said that there was a problem with the troupe, so he asked you to take someone to save people quickly. ”
Hearing this, Luan Yi hurriedly got up, but remembered that he couldn't mess with himself at this time, "I'm afraid that now that the troupe has taken people out, the people of the Lin Mansion should also find out." But this time he couldn't take someone to find it himself, so he could only ......
"Yinbei, you go back to the house. The county lord will be fine. ”
Since this matter happened in the Lin Mansion, the Lin Mansion would definitely deal with the matter, and he couldn't do it now......
At this moment, the Lin Mansion was in chaos.
Master Lin angrily went back and forth in the main hall, and Second Master Lin angrily swept the teacups on the table to the ground.
"Master, master, the eldest prince has borrowed some soldiers and horses to chase after him, those people are very cunning, I'm afraid they have already left the capital." The guard hurriedly said.
With a "snap", Master Lin slapped the table hard.
"Also, the ladies won't wake up until the evening."
The second master walked over and came to Master Lin's side, "Today's incident must have been deliberately done by someone, and as for the people behind the scenes, the eldest brother can also guess it." After a pause, he continued, "It's better for all of us to go to the Chengwang Mansion, I don't believe that he is so bold and reckless as the prince." ”
"How can we find it without evidence, let alone in the current situation, we can't fight hard." Master Lin was more thoughtful,
"By the way, Lord Luan has the most ideas, I'll go to Luan Mansion in person."
After speaking, he was about to throw off his sleeves and leave, Second Master Lin hurriedly grabbed Master Lin's sleeve, "Big brother, Lord Luan is not in Luan Mansion, I'm afraid you have to go to the Soft Fragrance Pavilion to find it." ”
Soft Incense Pavilion?! How could he, a court official, go to such a place, "Why don't you go and invite Lord Luan over." ”
Second Master Lin hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't dare, don't dare." Rolling his eyes, "Big brother, it's better to let Bingyan go, he is a young man after all." ”
Master Lin had no choice but to order the guards, "Go and find the second son, and tell him to go to the Soft Fragrance Pavilion and invite Lord Luan over." ”
"Yes, sir."
Lin Dagongzi also hurriedly chased out of the capital with dozens of guards, and finally caught up with this pair of people in the suburbs, and this troupe has become a caravan.
Lin Dagongzi immediately ordered the soldiers to come forward to stop, but the people in the caravan drew their swords one after another to compete with the soldiers and horses, Lin Dagongzi did not know martial arts, and then he was anxious to watch, and these dozens of soldiers and horses were quickly defeated.
Seeing this, Lin Bingyi hurriedly rode to the front of the team, "Who is so presumptuous, he dares to rob the people in the capital......
Before he finished speaking, Yang Gu stood on the carriage and shot an arrow, Lin Bingyi was shot in the waist and fell off his horse, and the caravan continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.
At this time, Lin Bingyan had already come to the room of the Soft Fragrance Pavilion and stood in front of Luan Yi with a sad face.
"Lord Luan, you just hurry up and think of a way, that's more than a dozen official ladies, if they really have something...... This capital is not in chaos. ”
Luan Yi fanned the fan with a leisurely expression, "This is lost by your Lin Mansion, what does it have to do with me." ”
"Of course, it doesn't matter, but you usually have the most ideas, you just look at your uncle's face, think of a way."
Luan Yi still didn't want to speak.
In the princess's room in King Cheng's mansion, Lord Cheng was also walking around the room, and the princess was dizzy.
"Lord, can you stop turning."
"Hey, you asked me to tell you what is good, just for you to rob the silver jade breath. Why did you rob so many young ladies now, what are you doing? "Cheng Wangye's usual majestic appearance, but now he is full of gentleness here in the princess.
Princess Cheng chuckled twice, "None of them take me seriously, I'll let them taste my methods." ”
"Madam, I know that the Lin Mansion didn't invite you this time, you're angry...... It's just a young lady's birthday party, nothing important. Wang Ye Cheng sat beside the princess and spoke in a good voice.
"Since they were all robbed, then I can't let them all go halfway, I'll see how these old men and ladies in the capital deal with this matter. Early tomorrow morning, I will ask Chengfu to deliver letters to various mansions, and whoever pays more money will send the young lady back. Princess Cheng pushed Prince Cheng with her hand, and coquettishly continued,
"Isn't that just a good time to send you a lot of money? After a few days, you won't have to worry about recruiting and buying Marco. ”
