Chapter 656: The Cuckold Prince
"Father-in-law, father-in-law, you wait." On this day, Ye Qiu went to the palace to greet the queen, and when he left the palace, he "coincidentally" met Lin Jingxian's father, and he hurriedly shouted.
Lin Xueyuan frowned lightly when he heard Ye Qiu's voice, and then returned to his usual expressionless appearance, this Lin Jingxian's ability to change her face is estimated to have been learned from here.
"Lord Wang." Although he is his son-in-law, Lin Xueyuan will not break the rules and salute respectfully.
The colleagues who went down to the court with him unconsciously slowed down, wanting to see what the discordant son-in-law would say, it was really not their gossip, but Lin Xueyuan was usually saying that this son-in-law was not serious when he was on an errand, and he seemed to look a little disdainful.
But no matter how much they look down on, no matter how dissatisfied they are, the fifth prince is also the son of His Majesty, and it is not their turn to say that before the fifth prince does not make an earth-shattering mistake, even if the imperial history says too much, he will be reprimanded by His Majesty, let alone them?
Usually the five princes don't go to court, so they haven't seen the pair of Weng sons-in-law together, now look at the five princes seem to be very attentive to Lin Zhangyuan? The rumors are true, it seems that although the fifth prince is ridiculous, he still loves the fifth princess deeply.
"Father-in-law, let's go together, and by the way, I will go to the money bank and redeem the silver ticket for you." Ye Qiu walked to Lin Xueyuan's side and said intimately, his voice was not small, and the officials one by one stopped talking in unison, and opened their ears to listen.
What did the fifth prince mean when he said this? Give Lin Xueyuan money? What money?
Feeling the gossip of his colleagues, Lin Xueyuan took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "What does the prince mean by this?" When did I let you redeem the money? ”
"Huh? Father-in-law, don't you know yet? Ye Qiu looked super surprised, "The princess just told me yesterday, saying that my mother-in-law came to my house and cried with her that she was afraid that she had wronged the daughter of the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion, so she wanted to borrow a sum of money from me to renovate the mansion, and if you want me to say that my mother-in-law and eldest brother are too polite, they are all a family, what do you say if you don't borrow it, isn't it tens of thousands of taels of silver?" It should be regarded as a congratulatory gift from this king to his eldest brother. ”
Ye Qiu's voice was not small when he said this, and his expression was also very frank, not like he was lying at all, so no one doubted the truth of what he said, after all, Lin Xueyuan and the Marquis of Zhengyuan Mansion were married, and not long ago, Lord Lin said that they would be invited to drink wine after the Mid-Autumn Festival! So the fair and honest Lord Lin really went to his son-in-law to borrow money to marry his daughter-in-law?
Tsk, I can't see it! If they hadn't happened to meet the Fifth Princes today, they wouldn't have known that Lord Lin still had such an operation! It sounds like borrowing, just with his little money, when will he be able to repay the tens of thousands of taels of silver?
That is, the fifth prince loves his daughter deeply, and he will be replaced by the son-in-law of an ordinary family? Whose son-in-law will give tens of thousands of taels of silver to his brother-in-law to marry a daughter-in-law? This is to use the five princes as a money bank!
On the surface, they pretend to be so honest and upright, and they are no better than them in the mainland, at least they can't do this kind of thing of asking for money from their son-in-law to marry their daughter-in-law.
Feeling the strange eyes of his colleagues around him, Lin Xueyuan frowned, and then looked at Ye Qiu Zhenzhen solemnly and said, "Lord Wang, you are responsible for what you say, when did this official borrow money from Lord Wang?" ”
"It was yesterday!" Ye Qiu looked at him inexplicably, as if he didn't understand why he said such a thing, "Yesterday, my mother-in-law came to the house in person, and the princess also understood that the king was afraid that the amount would be too large, and she would not be able to call the shots, so I wanted me to say that although tens of thousands of taels of silver are more, they are all from my own family, and it is not a big deal, you are just too polite." ”
Ye Qiu's words were frank and reasonable, and almost all the people at the scene believed that Lin Xue was far from being kind in his heart, he obviously wanted silver, but he refused to admit that he borrowed it, this is to save face?
"Lord Wang, Wei Chen has never borrowed any silver from the Lord Wang, please don't insult Wei Chen's reputation here." Lin Xueyuan's tone was already filled with anger, and the green tendons on his forehead were exposed.
"It's just borrowing some silver, what's not insulting about it? Father-in-law, are you confused in your reading brain? Ye Qiu scratched his head, looking like he didn't understand why Lin Xueyuan said these words.
The onlookers sighed, the rumors that the fifth prince was ridiculous and stupid were not false, and his father-in-law couldn't see such an obvious purpose?
"The Fifth Prince." Lin Xueyuan's voice became louder, "Wechen once again dared to assure Sage Kong that he hadn't borrowed any silver from you, and Wechen didn't need your silver. ”
As soon as he said this, the people who watched the excitement became suspicious again, Lin Xueyuan could lie to them, he should not lie to Sage Kong, after all, he was a scholar, he used to be the dean of a academy, and now he is the head of the Hanlin Academy, it can be said that the students who entered Beijing to take the exam are his disciples, and he should not be like this.
"You haven't borrowed it from me personally, but it's your mother-in-law who borrowed the money." Ye Qiu still looked puzzled, "It's just a little money, why are you so excited?" ”
"Lord Wang! What has been done is done, what has not been done is not done, Wechen does not know what the minister's wife said to you, and how did Wechen's daughter convey it, today Wechen solemnly declares here that he will never ask for a penny from the prince. ”
"You didn't ask for it, the princess told me to borrow, and the king felt that the family borrowed and borrowed it was boring, so it should be regarded as a congratulatory gift." Ye Qiu was still pretending to be stupid, "Okay, now this king also knows what you mean by your father-in-law, can you go to Qianzhuang now?" ”
Lin Xueyuan's face turned blue and white for a while, and he vaguely seemed to be able to hear the laughter of others, which made him, who paid special attention to fame, how could he bear it?
He looked at Ye Qiu and solemnly defended himself: "The prince didn't understand what Weichen meant, no matter whether the silver was borrowed or given by you, Weichen wouldn't ask for it, as for Neizi Weichen, he would say that she would go back, and Jingxian, she is now your princess, please also educate her to know how to do things." ”
"No, isn't the eldest brother going to marry the daughter of the Marquis of Zhengyuan? If this mansion is not renovated, isn't it wronged by the eldest lady? What's wrong with this? Ye Qiu looked innocent, as if he hadn't figured out the seriousness of the matter yet.
Lin Xueyuan looked upright: "This is the condition in Weichen's family, if the Marquis of Zhengyuan likes the cheesy gold and silver, there is no need to let their daughter-in-law marry." ”
Hearing this, Ye Qiu was dissatisfied: "Why is this gold and silver so cheesy?" Father-in-law, what you said is not right, in life, what kind of food, clothing, housing and transportation do not need gold and silver? Even the disaster situation in the southwest and the military defense in the northwest also require silver, which is the foundation of the people, why is it cheesy? ”
"I ......" Lin Xueyuan was angry with Ye Qiu's crooked reasoning, his face was blue for a while, white and red, and he looked good in an instant.
