Chapter 157: Dog gnaws on mud

There were some abnormalities in the army, which was a result of the signal released by Emperor Tianlong. How to discuss in the court, the generals in the army naturally have news channels.

The big bosses in the army are different from those ministers in the court who have many hearts. They are martial artists, and the way martial artists solve problems is, of course, hands-on.

These people had been holding back their anger in Suizhou early last year, and they, like Emperor Tianlong, hoped to have a chance to be ashamed. first stepped on Yongzhou, and then waved north.

A place like Yongzhou is already very close to Rongguo.

"In the army, no matter who intends to be disgraced or has the intention to make meritorious contributions, they will respond to His Majesty's call. The question is, if Your Majesty is to go on a personal campaign, who will have the final say in the DPRK and China? ”

Whether Emperor Tianlong goes or not, the meaning is too different.

The two of them sat on the wall, drinking a small wine that was not much different from Qing Shui, meaning that after satisfying the alcohol addiction, Wang Yuanzhao jumped off the wall and sent Lin Qiantan back to the Dongshan Marquis's mansion.

The Yanguo Mansion is deeply involved, and Wang Shanya is a person that all forces in the imperial court must compete for. And Wang Yuanzhao is also not easy.

Before Wang Yuanzhao left, Lin Qiantan stopped him.

Wang Yuanzhao turned around, and Lin Qiantan asked him with a smile: "Did you kill the city defense general Pu Hui?"

Wang Yuanzhao did not deny it: "If it is according to what you say, the world will definitely be chaotic, and we will naturally get rid of those who are in the way." This Pu Hui, careless of human life, corruption and bribery, is by no means a good minister, kill it, kill it, and you can still vacate a fat shortage. And with Wang Shanya's status, he just happened to be able to sell face, so he gave him this position. He just happened to install someone he knew!

Lin Qiantan smiled: "I didn't say that you didn't kill it right." It's just that you started in a hurry, and you didn't notice that he ripped off a sachet. The sachet is now in my hand, and when I smell it, I know it's yours. ”

After speaking, Lin Qiantan jumped into the house from the wall and lost her voice. Wang Yuanzhao just wanted to say something, but all he saw was a black wall of the Dongshan Marquis Mansion. She climbed the wall more and more smoothly.

Xia Sanniang was still waiting for him at home, and he had to go over again. Say that there is something to explain. The "ancestral relics" that Xia Sanniang wanted, he never found them in the Yanguo Mansion. It's not that he can't find it, but he has already given Lin Qiantan the fragments of the Jinghua Dream Picture that Xia Sanniang downplayed as an ordinary painting.

Xia Sanniang naturally doubted him, but for this son, she still has something to use, so it's hard to ask too much.

Wang Yuanzhao looked at his mother, and there was a lot of disappointment in his eyes.

The mother and son made some unhappiness again, and it was late at night, Wang Dagou kept his younger brother to sleep at home all night, and Wang Yuanzhao resolutely refused.

"Mother is that temper, why do you always have to be with her?"

Wang Yuanzhao was very angry: "Big brother doesn't need to say it." Since he came to the capital, he has no place in his mother's heart.

Wang Dagou sighed, and what he said also meant something: "The situation is uneasy, and my mother is also in turmoil, so it is inevitable to see things and think about the past."

Wang Yuanzhao suppressed a certain thought that flashed in his heart again, and finally said something, broke out of the door, and went back to the Yanguo Mansion.

*

Lin Qiantan said it well, Emperor Tianlong has that thought in his heart, how can he listen to what others say. He didn't plan for a day or two.

If he wants to go to Yongzhou, he has to go. After a few days of heated debate among the ministers of the imperial court, Emperor Tianlong finally got his wish.

However, this time, Emperor Tianlong learned the lessons of the previous time, and there was no longer a strong military parade. Quietly gathered his troops and horses, and when the weather just warmed up, the willful emperor took his soldiers and horses with good combat strength to the north.

Everyone knows that Emperor Tianlong's sword dance is intended for Pei Gong, but who can say anything?

As soon as Emperor Tianlong left, the Zheng Guogong Mansion also came out with a sigh of relief.

Lin Qiantan went to see Zhang Yan, and Zhang Yan talked about her father: "The cough is much better." It was as if a sword hanging over his head had been removed.

The Zhang family is now in such a scene, Lin Qiantan thinks that she is responsible. Therefore, the salary she gave Zhang Yan was very high, which can be regarded as a compensation for the Zhang family under the current situation. After discussing with Tian Xiaoxiang, Zhang Yan decided to compile a booklet and print it in batches, so that the caravan members could recite it close to their bodies and consult it at any time.

Lin Qiantan's opening up of the northern trade route has already achieved initial results. The branches far away in the territory of Rong can also cross the border from time to time and send back some important information.

Zhang Yan teased her: Who knew that you were still an intelligence chief. ”

Lin Qiantan didn't mind letting Zhang Yan know her secret. Zhang Yan's conduct is enough to make people trust.

"Sister Yan, have you ever heard that news is the most valuable thing in the world?" Lin Qiantan personally inserted a hairpin she gave to Zhang Yan on her head.

Zhang Yan also couldn't understand where Lin Qiantan's inexplicable guilt towards her came from.

"It's all about you." Zhang Yan had just made a list of small countries that had been discovered overseas, and Lin Qiantan had just accepted it and rolled it up her sleeve.

She earns money from her friends through her labor, and she has a clear conscience.

In February, when the spring flowers were blooming, Zhang Yan had stayed in the house for a long time and had not gone out, so Lin Qiantan persuaded her to go out: "If my sister stays any longer and doesn't go out, she will become moldy." Zhang Yan's knowledge, which usually seems useless, is a treasure to her.

Lin Qiantan remembered that there was a big epidemic in her previous life. Yin Ren used to say that it was a disease that Kyushu did not have. So she has been keeping an eye out for overseas businessmen.

After getting the information from Zhang Yan, she can make some preparations in advance.

Zhang Yan thought about it, at most, she went to Lin Qiantan's shop a few days ago, how could she go out in this situation at her house?

When Lin Qiantan was shopping for the Lantern Festival, she found a few stalls with good flavors, and she also had the intention to take Zhang Yan to take a look. Chen Jingrou also joined in the excitement and was already waiting at the stall.

That's what Mrs. Zhang meant.

Zhang Yan nodded and made an appointment with Lin Qiantan to go out.

Mrs. Zhang looked haggard, and she must have been tired from working at home. Because of her children's marriage, she no longer has much affection for her husband. It's just that because he was reluctant to give up a pair of flesh and blood, he didn't abandon Zhang Luyuan when he was unlucky.

"Sister Zhang, have you ever thought about getting married?" Chen Jingrou's mouth, like Gu Qingxuan, does not open which pot to mention. When her own marriage was settled, she cared about her sisters. For a while, he said this.

Zhang Yan is different from Chen Jingrou, she wants to get married. Not only does she think about it, but she probably still thinks about her ex's fiancΓ© in her heart. It's just that she and that person obviously won't have any more fate.

Chen Jingrou didn't have any malicious intentions, Zhang Yan naturally didn't blame her, but she was a little stunned in her heart.

*

Lin Qiantan took Zhang Yan and Chen Jingrou to walk outside, and sent Zhang Yan back.

She herself went to Chen's house with Chen Jingrou. Guang Ningbo was very happy to see her.

Lin Qiantan stayed in Chen's house for half a day, and Guang Ningbo personally accompanied her, which made Lin Qiantan feel weird subconsciously. Even when Lin Qiantan went home, he was sent by Guangningbo "by the way".

finally sent Guang Ningbo away.

Lin Qiantan put down the curtain of the car, and was coincidentally seen by Lin Quan. Lin Quan's face was not very good-looking, as if he thought of something unpleasant.

Lin Qiantan didn't see him.

Jin He still remembered that Lin Qiantan mentioned it to Zhang Yan and asked Zhang Yan to be patient for a while.

But the best age of a woman's life has been delayed so much, and even if the Zhang family has any chance to regain its glory, the years will be irreparable.

In the carriage, Jin He was sorting out the report sent by the people below and handing it to Lin Qiantan, who took it and looked through it carefully. While muttering to himself: "Where would I care about her at that time, will she delay the marriage because of me?"

Jinhe didn't understand.

"The one in front of me, because my fate has been affected, I can still help. Those who can't see don't know how many there are. ”

Soon, a military report came back from the front, saying that Emperor Tianlong had arrived in Suizhou.

Emperor Tianlong actually fainted not long ago, and he knew that the group of people who supported his personal expedition were not well-intentioned, but he still pretended not to know. This also shows how obsessed Emperor Tianlong is with the one-third acre of land in Rong Kingdom.

Emperor Tianlong can also be regarded as one of the people who was influenced by Lin Qiantan.

You must know that in his previous life, when he conquered the country three times, his body was much better than now.

Emperor Tianlong left, Gu Ping told the old man to return to the field, and naturally he couldn't resign.

Two days passed.

When Lin Qiantan went to him, he was at his desk reviewing the official documents of the court.

Seeing her coming, he divided a few more parts for her to watch: "Look, how to deal with this matter will be better?"

Lin Qiantan knew that this was the teacher testing her again. She simply sat down, picked up the pen, imitated Gu Ping's handwriting, and wrote on it.

When Gu Xiaowei came over, he happened to run into her.

Lin Qiantan heard that Gu Xiaowei was pushed out by Gu Ping, and often served in front of the emperor instead of his grandfather. Emperor Tianlong was also willing to use Gu Xiaowei, so ...... Gu Ping taught Gu Xiaowei, and he may be able to retire.

However, Gu Xiaowei seems to be working against his grandfather, a smart and capable person on weekdays, but when he arrives at the court, his qualifications are dull, and the monthly assessment of the officials only gets a "middle and upper" evaluation.

After Gu Xiaowei left, Gu Ping looked at his grandson's back and snorted coldly: "This stinky boy, the bigger he is, the less cute he is."

Lin Qiantan laughed when she heard this, the old man probably didn't call Gu Xiaowei "grandpa", but called him by his name so much.

Although Gu Xiaowei has no parents, it is also very good to have a grandfather like Gu Ping. It's better than her, having a home is like not having a home.

Jin He pinched the time, and when the time came, he urged Lin Qiantan to go back. Recently, the back door of the Dongshan Hou Mansion went to the living guards, and Lin Qiantan didn't have time to buy it. When she left the house today, she also went through the back door.

Lin Qiantan calculated that there should not be a change of guard at the back door, so she said goodbye and went back to Lin's house.

Lin Qiantan didn't sneak out of the house once or twice, but she often walked by the river, how could she not get her shoes wet? There will always be a time when someone will find out. The people in her yard aren't omnipotent either. can block it once, block it twice, but she is always there, and there is always a chance to show her stuffing.

Lin Qiantan had just walked outside the mansion, and was thinking about catching up with the changing of the guard at the back door, when a little girl who was sent out by Bishu to ventilate and report the news was watching there. Seeing Lin Qiantan, she hurriedly ran over and told her that the lady over there was sitting in the Yinping Pavilion.

Lin Qiantan said, "Got it."

He added: "You sneaked out, don't go back now." Jinhe, give her a few pennies and let her buy candy to eat. ”

Jinhe then took out a few pennies from his pocket and gave it to the little girl, who took the money and ran away as soon as she smoked.

*

Since Lin Qiantan knew that there were unwelcome guests in her place, of course she had to rush back to take a look.

In the Silver Screen Pavilion.

Yin Wei was eating the tea brought by the girls, and seemed to be drinking tea blindly, but in fact, those eyes were scanning everything in the boudoir with a thief.

Because she disliked Lin Qiantan, she hadn't come back for a year and a half.

In the past, Lin Bixiang always mentioned to her how magnificent this silver screen pavilion is now, and she also felt that what her daughter said was a little exaggerated, who knew that her daughter maliciously belittled it.

Anything and everything has a history. Not only does not override the royal family, but also reflects the demeanor of the holder, Yin Wei is distressed once she sees it, and the little worm named jealousy in her heart becomes excited again.

These should have belonged to her and her daughter. It's hateful that Lin Qiantan's little hooves have asked for the dowry back!

Yin Wei's clothes haven't been new for a season.

If Lin Qiantan is not mistaken, most of Yin Wei's dowry was given out and handed over to her husband. Lin Quan didn't feel embarrassed. Anyway, it wasn't that he took the initiative to ask for it, but Yin Weishang rushed to give it to him......

So Yin Wei is also very poor.

Yin Wei looked at the wealth in the house, and couldn't help but think that she not only gave most of it, but also had to allocate most of the rest to her son and daughter to prepare for marriage, and she looked at Lin Qiantan's eyes with a fierce light.

Lin Qiantan smiled.

The thousand-armed Guanyin statue in front of Yin Wei is a remnant of the period of Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty. The seemingly ordinary stool that Yin Wei was sitting on was actually the handiwork of a famous artist.

Yin Wei naturally thought that these good things were all owned by Chu Ling that day, and she didn't think that there were other possibilities.

However, the truth is that these things are all newly earned by her later.

Before Lin Qiantan could stand still, Yin Wei launched an official authority, first asked where Lin Qiantan went, and couldn't find anyone in Manfu, and then killed chickens and monkeys to take a few Jinhe knives.

Lin Qiantan frowned slightly, a few girls walked outside, and before they had time to change when they came back, the dust on the trouser leg was so obvious.

Careless.

"Drag these girls who instigated the master to go out and hang out and play twenty boards......"

Lin Qiantan laughed: "What is Mother anxious about?" The look of not taking people in his eyes made Yin Wei even more angry.

Yin Wei followed the people, under the leadership of Zhang Cheng's daughter-in-law, and made a gesture to step forward.

Lin Qiantan didn't need to look at her, and Ping Lang knew that when Zhang Cheng's daughter-in-law passed by, she quietly stretched out a foot and stumbled. The screen immediately cooperated with a coincidence, and the smile on Yin Wei's face had not yet fallen, and she saw her henchman housekeeper's daughter-in-law like a funny dog, somehow suddenly fell to the ground and rolled several times, and then "bang" with a loud bang, her head hit the threshold heavily, and then she screamed.

For a while, the house was full of chaos of crying father and mother, Zhang Cheng's daughter-in-law fell with blood all over her face, and Yin Wei was also disgusted. Yin Wei didn't have the heart to get along with Lin Qiantan for a while, Zhang Cheng's daughter-in-law died before she could get out of school, and she was carried out of Yinping Pavilion.

As soon as Yin Wei left, Lin Qiantan called the girls around her and asked her to go to the Shen family, and make a first move.

Then I asked what had happened.

"How did Madame come here?" Hasn't Yin Wei always disliked her place?

Bishu replied, "The slave doesn't know either! Originally, the master was not there, but the slave maid thought about it, and led a few little girls to clean around. "Mama Zhong is not here, she and the green jade are the biggest in the yard.

It was also a little luck for her, when she was lying at the door of the yard to clean the window, she unintentionally glanced at it, and happened to see Yin Wei coming over murderously.

Green Jade hurriedly packed up some things in the house that were not convenient for Yin Wei to see.

"Well done." Lin Qiantan thought to herself, although most of her account books and cash were not in the house, there was no guarantee that if Yin Wei was so coincidental to see what she left behind, she might have to "get a piece of the pie" with her.

That is, Bishu, a solid-eyed person, knows that she has put away the good teacups, and actually took out the good tea she brought to entertain the guests.

Bi Shu was also very embarrassed: "The slave just thought of what Ji Yue said to me, and she was ...... dizzy" Speaking of this, Bi Shu's expression dimmed a little.

Lin Qiantan asked, what did Zheng Hao say.

Bishu said: "It is said that when I woke up for a while last night, I felt like I was ...... burned."

Bishu said that half of it was left and half of it was left, but she didn't dare to say that her brother was careless when he was taking care of the injured and spilled the hot tea, and the scenery was an injured person, and Zheng Hao, who was burned by the hot tea, was also slipped on his feet.

Ji Yue heard that she heard the movement in the house, opened the door, and saw the scene in the house......

Zheng Hao really couldn't say what he was suffering for a while.

Thanks to the quick reaction of the scenery, he hit it with his hands, but it was still blistered.

"Why didn't you say such a thing earlier." Lin Qiantan didn't notice the ambiguity in Bishu's words. Although she has a little meaning as the master, for Zheng Hao, I'm afraid he won't forget to treat Mei so quickly.

Shiki was injured trying to protect her sister.

Lin Qiantan thought about going to see again: "See if she can move now?" If you can, you should bring it into the city. "What's the matter with staying in someone else's house all the time.

Jin He said: "The matter of the master sneaking out of the house has now been arrested, and Madame is afraid that in the past two days, I will ask someone to take care of us, and we will not have a chance to go out again, right?"

Not only that, but there should also be a surprise inspection like today, so come and have a look if it's okay.

Lin Qiantan smiled: "Who said that going out must only be daytime." She waved her hand.

Jin He and Bishu both looked at it.

In the spring, the flowers are in full bloom, and there are a few little girls in the Yinping Pavilion who are lying in the flower garden collecting petals to make flower dew. Lin Qiantan said again: "Jinhe, go to the lattice and get a few vases of flowers later."

Jin He remembered that the farmer who rescued Ji Yue and the scenery, the female doctor seemed to be particularly fond of making something fragrant.

Jin He only thought that Lin Qiantan was going to give the pair of gifts to the right person, and he didn't think too much, Lin Qiantan thought about more than that.

Wang Yuanzhao told her that at the foot of the White Horse Temple, there are almost no people. Ji Yue and the scenery went down the river, and they were rescued by the farmer's family. It's not that she doubts the benefactor who saved her life.

The farmer is indeed a farmer, and most likely he can't be wrong. But the female doctor, who talks and has a temperament, is not what an ordinary peasant woman in the countryside would have.

Not to mention being proficient in medicine.

So she also wants to touch the details of other people's houses by giving gifts.

*

Lin Qiantan said that she was going to go out at night, but the back door was watched at this time, how did she get out? Jinhe knew Lin Qiantan better, and knew that Lin Qiantan might have moved...... The mind of climbing the wall.

Evening time.

Lin Qiantan secretly went out, and it was no surprise that she was stabbed in front of everyone, in front of her elders, how could she make a respectful and docile appearance, but she would not take the Lin family to heart, how could she care about a few punishments.

She was fully prepared, and it didn't matter if she was punished to kneel down and copy the female commandments. The two thick cotton knee pads sent by Lin Ziye that day also came in handy. As for copying a few words, it's even more of a problem.

That's it, the important thing is that Yin Wei has another excuse to stuff people with her. Jin He muttered: "There is a surname Gou left, and another surname Mao is here, and cats and dogs are really stuffed into us!"

However, Mama Mao is different from Mama Gou, she is a handsome person who knows the times from the beginning.

It's the same that someone in the family was pinched by Yin Wei, but he knew that there was no good end in Cao Ying's heart in Han, so he just came in and kowtowed.

"This Mao Mama is very interesting." Lin Qiantan knew that this Mama Mao and Mama Gou were both old people beside Yin Wei. In terms of loyalty, it should all be the same, otherwise it wouldn't have been sent out by Yin Wei.

Lin Qiantan had just come back from kneeling, and the girl said that the grandmother surnamed Mao was already waiting outside.

I thought that this Mama was the same as Mama Gou, and she had to clean up, but who knew that Mama Mao had long been greedy for the dividends that Mama Gou got, and she looked like there was no saint in front of her money. Lin Qiantan told her like this: "Since Mama Mao wants to be sincere, she must also show some sincerity."

Mama Mao didn't hesitate and said: "In addition to asking the old slave to stare at Miss Seven's movements here, Madam also asked the old slave to find a way to win Miss Seven's trust, and I can't hide it, even these words were instructed by Madame." But the slave and maid know that the loyal servant does not matter the two masters. Willing to change course ......"

He added: "Actually, there are also cats sent by Madame to guard the back door, as long as the young lady takes money to buy it, no matter how much, it will definitely succeed."

Lin Qiantan smiled: "Oh?" What does Mama Mao mean by this?
