Chapter 98: Tell the Story
Xiao Yin, the grandson of the last emperor of the Xia Dynasty, was the only one of the royal family members of the Xia Dynasty who escaped from under the iron hooves of the Shang Dynasty. His existence cannot be said to be a thorn in the current emperor.
Yan Shao is also the grandson of the emperor, and he has some similarities with him in his life experience.
Originally, in the early years of Taizu's ascension to the throne, there were still people who called for the restoration of the country in his name, but as time gradually passed, people began to not remember this highness.
Calculating the age, if the former emperor grandson named Xiao Yin seems to be big, he is still a young man in his twenties.
Lin Qiantan pricked up her ears and listened to the two people under the carriage talking, and the fragments of her memory flashed in her mind.
It is also true that the cruelty of the late emperor of the Xia Dynasty was also true, and people hated him, but regarded him as orthodox. No matter what, the Xiao family's five-hundred-year governance is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The unlucky Lord Xu suffered because he truthfully wrote about Xiao Yin.
The carriage was moving forward, and the voices of Wang Yuanzhao and Chu Jiang were all in his ears. Lin Qiantan found that she didn't seem to hear Wang Dagou speak.
Wang Dagou followed the back of the carriage with a smile on his face, as if it was very interesting to hear others talk about these things in the court.
On the mountain road, the flowers are in full bloom from the time of the Xia Dynasty. The holy land of Buddhism, the incense is flourishing, the carriage drives up from the foot of the mountain, and the flowers in front of you are wrapped, from far to near, which makes people have a feeling of driving towards the other side.
Chu Jiang's voice is warm, Wang Yuanzhao gives people a hearty and atmospheric feeling, the handsome figures of the two, with the surrounding birds and flowers, their voices also seem to have turned into substance, beautiful.
Wang Yuanzhao doesn't love Buddhist temples and these places of cultivation, and the reason why he agreed to his brother to come is because he knows that the Lin family and the White Horse Temple often come and go.
Maybe there's a chance to take a look!
Chu Jiang and him didn't meet many times, and the two met friends with martial arts, barely being friends.
It is said that friends' wives cannot be bullied, and Wang Yuanzhao can tell right from wrong. Don't say that Lin Qiantan doesn't mean that to him, even if she does, she is also Chu Jiang's fiancée, and he also knows what he can and can't do.
As if he knew that Lin Qiantan was talking to him, he glanced inside the car.
Lin Qiantan thought about this person's dead nature, and came to invite her to have supper at night when she had something to do, but at first she told him not to come, but he didn't listen. Later, Lin Qiantan developed the habit of eating supper, but he came less and less.
Unless it's a big event like Yan Shao's disappearance.
As he was thinking, the gate of the White Horse Temple in front of him was getting closer and closer.
Yan Shaosheng saw no one in life, no corpse in death, and no whereabouts. Lin Qiantan also used the intelligence network under her hands, but there was still nothing to gain.
Lin Qiantan just glanced out the window, and the coachman in front of him just said "how", the carriage also slowed down, and the White Horse Temple arrived.
The monks of the White Horse Temple do not seem to be strangers to the carriages of the Dongshan Marquis Mansion. Before everyone could stop steadily, a small novice had already come to greet him. The girl got out of the car and placed the pedal, Lin Qiantan went down to the ground, glanced at it unintentionally, and saw a somewhat familiar person.
When I first entered Beijing, I met the grimace girl Xiaoyu who was still in the capital and did not leave.
Lin Qiantan had told the temple in advance, and the temple had also made preparations for their arrival. Everyone settled in the wing room first, and then walked around separately.
Chu Jiang was originally a drunkard, not to drink, in order to have a reason to meet Lin Qiantan, not to mention Jiang Zhiyue and Lin Bixiang, who simply kept up.
Among the group, there was only one Wang Dagou who was the most devout, and he came to pray for Xia Sanniang's health.
Lin Qiantan also heard for the first time that Xia Sanniang's health was not good. Wang Dagou explained with a smile: "My mother has been sick since she was born, and it has been like this all these years."
Lin Qiantan responded to something.
Wang Dagou said, and Lin Bixiang heard it on the other side, and muttered: "Inferior people are cheap......
Lin Qiantan also heard this, and looked at Wang Dagou with apologies. was about to speak, but was slightly startled by the killing intent that flashed in Wang Dagou's eyes.
After all, the people on both sides are not a group, and they will be separated when they walk to the intersection, and the Wang brothers are not here to relax, but to ask for a peace charm first.
Lin Qiantan swallowed the words in her stomach and didn't say them. Chu Jiang came to pull her again, so she followed Chu Jiang away.
Lin Qiantan has the impression that Wang Dagou is a kind and honest person, but even such an honest person will be angry when his mother is abused.
Lin Qiantan didn't think much about it. The beautiful garden scenery and solemn appearance of the White Horse Temple soon attracted her. Together with Chu Jiang, she walked in front. Two heels chased after him. The atmosphere was awkward and cold.
Lin Qiantan didn't expect that Lin Bixiang's retribution would come so quickly.
A few people were shopping well, but Lin Qiantan just couldn't see the two people who were competing for Chu Jiang's attention in a different way.
In all fairness, Lin Bixiang is very beautiful today, and it is like wearing a couple's outfit with Chu Jiang, both in terms of the style and color of the clothes, they complement each other.
This kind of beauty became different after she went to the thatched house in the temple.
Naturally, the White Horse Temple has a clean room for female guests.
Lin Bixiang went to the cleanest in the temple.
She originally wanted to add more weight to the sachet, so that Chu Jiang would unconsciously pay more attention to her. As a result, I couldn't see who suddenly poured a bucket from the top of the head of the clean room compartment...... Cow dung down.
When Lin Qiantan heard the news, she smiled: "Got it." The news was told by Jin He, and the schadenfreude on this girl's face couldn't be hidden.
Wait Mei pinched her and said, "Put away your expression, don't ask someone to throw the pot on our heads."
Lin Qiantan shook her head and smiled, and Jinhe preemptively said, "What is our relationship with that side now?" I don't laugh or not, people don't all put basins on our heads, in this case, what do I do not laugh. ”
The truth is this, but the metaphor used is a little unlucky.
Waiting for Mei to pinch her arm and go out: "What is a basin, can you speak?" Crow's beak! Miss Eight just ate one, and you still want to curse us for being like her......"
There is such a thing in the clean room used by the female guests, and of course the monks in the temple will know about it.
The masters all rushed over to deal with the scene, even if the Buddhist monks had no desires, they couldn't help but look at the dirty woman over there and smiled at the corners of their mouths.
As soon as Lin Bixiang was helped up in disgust, she trotted out. The people around were all busy, and when they saw her rushing over, they all avoided her and made way for her. She didn't care about it, and ran to the wing room to clean it.
Lin Qiantan later heard that the room used by Lin Bixiang was not willing to be used by guests for several years.
Lin Qiantan originally subconsciously thought that this matter was done by Wang Dagou.
But if you think about it carefully, Wang Dagou's personality really doesn't look like a person who would use this kind of bad tricks.
Will do this, and have the motivation to do this, who will it be, do you still need to think about it?
Lin Qiantan's mood suddenly improved, why didn't she find out before that a certain stinky boy who stole chickens and dogs was so cute. Last time, I took Lin Bixiang's belly pocket and sent it to Dong's house, and this time I simply did something simple and rude but very satisfying to her.
Lin Bixiang lost an adult outside, where is there any mind to play. Lin Qiantan was also happy to give her the carriage and told her to go first.
Anyway, there is also the Jiang family's carriage that she can use.
*
Chu Jiang went to see her down the mountain and came back from outside, and her face was not very good-looking. Lin Qiantan thought that Lin Bixiang had done something again, and asked Chu Jiang, but Chu Jiang didn't say anything, only said that Lin Bixiang had gone down the mountain.
Lin Qiantan didn't have to know, but this matter still ran into Lin Qiantan's ears.
Lin Bixiang was embarrassed anyway, so she simply broke the jar and fell, dragged Lin Qiantan into the water, and cried and complained to Chu Jiang on the way out, saying how Lin Qiantan treated her. I'm afraid that others won't hear what I'm saying......
Jin He was angry: "It seems that this person's mouth has not eaten enough cow dung!"
They also walked around for a long time, and after seeing the scenery that should have been seen, it was almost time to leave and go back.
Lin Qiantan was not surprised that Lin Bixiang would do these things, this matter was not done by her, but she was happy to carry this black pot: "What are you angry with her?"
Chu Jiang first sent Lin Qiantan back to the Dongshan Hou Mansion, and Lin Qiantan was unexpectedly called over by Yin Wei. A few people went out, only Lin Bixiang was unlucky, no matter how you look at it, it is no coincidence.
Of course, Lin Qiantan couldn't admit it in front of the Lin family in front of a room, but she couldn't deny it. Lin Bixiang kept saying that it was Lin Qiantan who didn't like her, but Yin Wei herself knew that no one believed her.
Lin Qiantan went to Lin Bixiang to see her every day, and everyone in the house knew that Lin Bixiang had misbehaved in her own personal ethics and was sanctioned by a hero, so there was no reason to blame Lin Qiantan.
Lin Qiantan saw Yin Wei's sinister eyes, and when it came to this, Yin Wei didn't play a loving mother with her, and Lin Qiantan didn't pretend to be with her. She gave a smile just right before leaving Shen's place.
Lin Bixiang was unlucky, and the heroic night really knew about it. Lin Qiantan was in a good mood, and handed him a whole plate of food from the kitchen, telling him to eat and play, and he didn't leave much after eating, just said a word or two and left.
Wang Yuanzhao came over to tell Lin Qiantan that Yan Shao's death had been confirmed.
Lin Qiantan was not much surprised.
In his previous life, although Yan Shao did not die at this node, his fate did not deviate too much.
It's just that the details are a little different.
Wang Yuanzhao left, Lin Qiantan glanced downstairs, and there seemed to be a figure hiding there in the shadows. looked at the figure, like Mama Gou, but Lin Qiantan didn't care if she saw it or not.
The Song family went out on vacation, and Lin Qiantan didn't expect that she wouldn't come back so much. In her previous life, the Song family did her best, and died suddenly at the age of less than forty because she was worried about her, so she also hoped that she would recuperate and come back.
Song's family was reluctant to let her come back, saying that Lang Zhong had diagnosed a chronic illness and would be cured as soon as possible.
Lin Qiantan knew, and naturally ordered the Song family to treat the disease, and gave enough money for medical treatment.
She sat down and sighed. Only then did I know how the Song family died.
In fact, it's not just Song. By her side, Jinhe treated Mei and others, and the ending was not good. When she herself died, there was no one left around her.
Jin He's somewhat fleshy face dangled in front of her eyes, but in comparison, Lin Qiantan hoped that she would always be a little fat man with a somewhat poisonous mouth.
She ran to Lin Qiantan excitedly and told Lin Qiantan that Lin Bixiang had changed seven or eight buckets of bath water in one night.
Lin Qiantan smiled: "If I were her, I would probably be the same as her." It's like the smell on my body can't be washed off.
Lin Bixiang's revenge also came quickly.
The next day, when Lin Qiantan went to the main room to greet the Shen family, she smelled a foul smell at the end of the corridor. She reacted quickly, called the screen, and quickly bypassed. Sure enough, I saw two mothers-in-law with big shoulders and round waists waiting for her with a bucket of and urine.
The two mothers-in-law were defenseless, and they were slammed down on their heads from behind and pressed into the bucket, and what they ate was not cow dung, but human dung fished out of the thatched house in the house.
This is just a trivial matter, and it can't set off any waves, and when Lin Qiantan came to Shen's side, she didn't even mention it.
However, how can two fainted mothers-in-law with and urine on their faces fall in the corridor, how can people not know? No one in the house is a fool, they will associate it for themselves.
After Shen heard about it, he was even more disappointed with Lin Bixiang. Even if she has always had a good temper, she can't help but feel that she doesn't like this granddaughter for six or seven points.
After Lin Qiantan went to ask An to go back, the Shen family left Shen Ning to talk in her room. It happened early in the morning.
The children and grandchildren in the house have been talking about family affairs for the past two years.
Lin Bixiang was not ranked high, so Yin Wei proposed to stay for an extra year or two, and she agreed.
Just can't see that Yin Wei is waiting for her mother-in-law to die, so that she can be independent......
"The eight girls are getting more and more unpleasant now." Shen seemed to use some euphemistic words as much as possible, and did not mention that Lin Bixiang had no matchmaking with others and embarrassed the house.
Shen Ning has always been at odds with Yin Wei, and when he heard Shen's tone, he seemed to have a little intention of making a move, so he was overjoyed.
Next, sure enough, I heard Shen say: "... In my opinion, the marriage of the sixth girl and the seventh girl has an eyebrow, and it is time to plan for the eighth girl. ”
Shen Ning smiled when he heard what he was willing to hear: "I said it a long time ago, but my mother didn't listen to me." Sister Xiang is only a few months younger than her sister, and she has not heard from her. ”
When Shen heard this, he poked his daughter-in-law's head and said, "You, do you think I don't know what your idea is...... But after all, you are an aunt, and you are always embarrassed to find her too bad. You also go to see, help to see, see if there is a dead wife far away from the capital, and the character and family background are okay, so marry her, save yourself from being a demon at home! "With the meaning of the third daughter-in-law, most of them will drag on for a year or two, and when everyone forgets about the current thing, they still want to find a fast son-in-law who rides the dragon.
But Lin Bixiang has had ugly things, and most of them are not good at having children, and her vision is too high, but it doesn't mean much.
As a mother, this idea is not wrong, but she, as a grandmother, is not willing to wait.
Shen is kind-hearted, but not stupid, and the experience of a lifetime makes it not a problem for her to look at individuals. Juniors like Lin Qiantan and Lin Bixiang are like no clothes in front of her, whose heart is black, whose heart is red, she is clear. It's just that as an elder, I don't want to care about it.
*
The conversation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the main room, although no one can hear it, is not very confidential. If you pay attention, you can always inquire about that.
Over there, Yin Wei received some rumors.
Listening to the idea of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Yin Wei was so angry that she slapped her palm on the table with one force, and she didn't notice that her palm hurt so much.
"Phew, the old immortal, I still want to fiddle with Xiang'er's marriage!" It's a shame that she can say that the widower who died of his wife is also worthy of marrying her daughter?
can be scolded and scolded, Yin Wei is angry and hateful, angry that Lin Qiantan has harmed her daughter to such a point. Lin Bixiang's palace was damaged, and it was difficult to get pregnant, the so-called rather than a phoenix tail rather than a chicken head, if it weren't for this, she wouldn't need to hit the Chu family's idea......
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Zhang Cheng's daughter-in-law knows her master's plans. Since ancient times, there has been a practice of sisters serving a husband. What her master wanted was just to ask her daughter to be a concubine, so as to wait for the opportunity to replace Lin Qiantan, if it weren't for that, she wouldn't have to endure Lin Qiantan.
Yin Wei said: "It's just that my stupid daughter doesn't let me worry, isn't it just a bucket of cow dung, I can endure it, why do I have to ......" I have to retaliate in such a stupid way.
Zhang Cheng's daughter-in-law thought of Lin Bixiang's appearance when she was ordered to see Lin Bixiang, and thought that she was young and vigorous, and she couldn't suppress her anger.
Yin Wei thought about it, but still felt uneasy, and said, "You go to her house and stay in her house yourself, watch her, don't tell her to do some stupid things again."
Zhang Cheng's daughter-in-law answered and went.
Yin Wei stayed in place, and her eyebrows were full of fierceness.
The other side.
Zhang Cheng's daughter-in-law had already walked quickly to Lin Bixiang.
Since Lin Bixiang's pregnancy was brought out, the people in her yard have been replaced one after another.
Most of today's people are personally selected by her, and there will be no more things that make Yin Wei not know her daughter's movements. Only except for Cai Tong's two or three, Lin Bixiang is used to it.
I heard that Cai Tong's former fiancé is about to get married, but the bride is not her......
Zhang Cheng's daughter-in-law also sighed and sympathized with Cai Tong, those girls who had been touched by the male master, those little girls were rushing to ask for them. It doesn't hurt if it's not complete. can be like Cai Tong, who was hooliganized on the street......
Cai Tong herself, she didn't expect Yin Wei to remember to arrange Zhang Luo's marriage for her.
Zhang Cheng's daughter-in-law was still sympathetic to Cai Tong on the front foot, and Cai Tong told Lin Qiantan about her past Lin Bixiang's sitting.
*
Watching Cai Tong leave, Mama Gou's lips moved, and she didn't dare to speak.
Lin Qiantan didn't look at her, she drank tea by herself, this Gou Mama is afraid of her now, even if she sees or hears something, she doesn't dare to talk nonsense.
Cai Tong followed Lin Bixiang, and he didn't do any bad things, and he wasn't a good person. But she has two good points, one is infatuation, and the other is ...... is as greedy for money as Mama Gou.
Mama Gou didn't know at first that Lin Qiantan had bought Cai Tong, or if Lin Qiantan deliberately told her to know.
Mama Gou watched Cai Tong get a reward every time she said information and did something for Lin Qiantan. Her eyes were red.
Therefore, he was dissatisfied with Yin Wei in his heart. She worked hard for her for many years, but in the end, she was desperately saving her family's deed of sale, and the reward she gave was not as generous as Lin Qiantan......
Lin Qiantan saw it, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, and she smiled. Money, it's really a good thing.
After Mama Gou went out. When Mei came in, she told Lin Qiantan that Chu Shen was gone.
"If it's gone, it's gone." Not a good guy anyway.
If it weren't for someone pretending to be Chu Shen's nephew a few days ago, Lin Qiantan would almost have forgotten Chu Shen's number one person.
That night, Chu Shen's body was found lying at the door of his own home.
How sad Qiu Pei is, it is not within Lin Qiantan's care. What Chu Shen did, he was not innocent when he died.
It's just that the body of a slave who escaped was discovered, and the Chu family didn't even need to report to the official, and Chu Shen's funeral was also dealt with overnight.
And Chu Shen's original errand had already been done by someone else.
The new person who came up was still doing something similar to what Chu Shen had done, and sent some items for the Chu family. It's just that this new person has come up,
It happened to be Lin Qiantan's nursing brother.
The milk brother said that Song's illness was also discovered in time, otherwise it would be difficult to say if it was delayed any longer.
Lin Qiantan then sent Mei to take a look at the Song family from time to time.
Brother Milk is not an outsider, Lin Qiantan let him into the living room to entertain, and after the reception, he took Zhimei back. Song is looking forward to coming back, but he also knows that his body is important.
So Lin Qiantan set out and went outside to choose someone to replace the Song family.
Mama Gou saw it in her eyes, and her eyes were greedy, and she finally turned her heart to Lin Qiantan and decided to fall to Lin Qiantan......
A few girls are actually puzzled. Mama Gou's deed of sale is still with Yin Wei, and she won't be a loyal one.
Lin Qiantan first supported Mama Gou to do errands, and then said some words that the girls didn't understand: "You watch the drama every day, can you remember how to perform the drama?" You are loyal servants, and you are doing what loyal servants do. Mama Gou and Cai Tong are both traitors, and traitors also have the usage of traitors. ”
Originally, she also wanted to find an opportunity to kick her out, but looking at it, Mama Gou barely survived under her malicious difficulties. She also does a good job of some things that have nothing to do with political positions, and she is indeed a good hand.
Useful people are also improvised, but it is impossible to get along with Jinhe and them, and be emotionally invested.
Over there, Mama Gou took Lin Qiantan's intention to give Yin Wei's female red to the main room, her face was full of determination, if she didn't succeed, she would become benevolent, instead of being caught between the two ends and suffering from anger, it was better to gamble......
She had already walked to Yin Wei, waiting to be interviewed. Inside, Yin Wei also quickly agreed to let her in. When she entered, she heard Yin Wei and Lin Bixiang chattering: "Wait until you go to the Chu family......"
