Chapter 96: Killing Pigs
Wang Yuanzhao squatted there and said a joke, but Lin Qiantan didn't think it was a joke when he heard it.
She hadn't seen the situation in the emperor's bedroom with her own eyes, so it was hard to assert. Wang Yuanzhao followed Wang Shanya in.
Wang Yuanzhao said that these words were indeed mostly joking. In fact, he himself killed fish and pigs when he was a child in a small fishing village, but at a glance he could see that the color of the blood water did not look like human blood.
After the two discussed, Lin Qiantan also knew what she thought was missing before, what it was.
Emperor Tianlong was not assassinated.
Then, since this is the case, she can't ask her grandfather's fool to follow the second prince to get involved and bring danger to the family.
Although she cares, in fact, it is only herself.
Wang Yuanzhao finished speaking and left. There is Wang Shanya Town in the Yanguo Mansion, and there will not be any head with a hole in the head to go out and hook up with people. He just came to remind Lin Qiantan.
Wang Yuanzhao will go to Gu Mansion after that.
"Oh, by the way, this thing is here for you." As he spoke, he threw out something.
Lin Qiantan subconsciously stretched out her hand to take it, Wang Yuanzhao had already walked far over there, she opened the small cloth bag and saw that there were only a few snacks inside.
Lin Qiantan smiled, turned around and put her things away, and then called Bishu and told her to go to her brother again.
Since Emperor Tianlong is fishing, he is mostly fine at this time, and as for the so-called assassination, it should only be a drama directed and acted by himself.
In the future, the Great Shang Dynasty will not die, and it is said that the emperor can't be asked to worry about the Dongshan Marquis Mansion at the moment.
But Lin Qiantan also knew that the old man would not listen to her, so she simply came to be ruthless.
The next day, Lin Yangde went out vertically as he had done two days ago, but at noon, he was carried back horizontally.
Lin Qiantan didn't ask Zheng Hao to do anything, but just did a little trick on Lin Yangde's car.
The carriage was fine at first, but as it walked, it suddenly fell apart. The young and strong can't stand it, let alone Lin Yangde's age.
Zheng Hao did just right, Lin Yangde fell and flashed his old waist, and Lang Zhong said that he had to lie down on the bed for a month.
He couldn't move, but it saved trouble.
Lin Dong and Lin Quan were much more sober than the old man in this matter, so as not to let Lin Qiantan do something to his own father.
The Lin family stopped, and Lin Qiantan turned her attention to the Chu family. Lin Qiantan took advantage of last year's birthday to leave her own people in the Chu family to watch the Chu family's movements at any time, and knew that a very mysterious guest happened to come to the door the day before yesterday and was gradually brought into the study by Chu.
Lin Qiantan simply went to the Chu family.
Chu gradually didn't hide it from her. For him, Lin Qiantan is the only relative by his side who has a blood connection, and there is nothing that cannot be said.
"The nephew of the steward of Chu sent a secret letter in, saying that the Dongping County Mansion was in trouble, and begged me to allocate some silver." It was also said that it was the last time.
The affairs of the Chu family and the Dongping County Mansion have always been done by Chu Shen. Although Chu Shen was "missing", the Chu family still gave Chu Shen's nephew a face for the sake of Qiu Pei's face.
Lin Qiantan didn't ask, but if she asked, she would definitely stop it.
"Uncle, you can't give this money." Joke, I finally got rid of the relationship with Yan Shao, what happened to Chu Shen's nephew who didn't know where he came from?
Yan Shao, who has disappeared, General Cai, who died, and the seemingly calm emperor's birthday banquet, there are some things that Lin Qiantan always feels that can almost be thought of, but they are always a little bit worse.
In any case, having Lin Qiantan to speak is more effective than the persuasion of Chu Jiang's "pro" son. It's no wonder that Chu Jiang was jealous as a joke: "It is said that being a father-in-law hurts his daughter-in-law, I can be regarded as knowledgeable."
The two of them were a little unhappy a while ago because Lin Qiantan wanted to enter the palace as a female official. At this time, Chu Jiang and Lin Qiantan, who had just come out of Chu Yan's study, bumped into each other, and there was a little bit of flattery between their words.
Lin Qiantan didn't get angry with him much, but she didn't expect Chu Jiang to vote against her on something that didn't seem to be in the way.
Everyone has their own choice and freedom, and Lin Qiantan respects her cousin. But Chu Jiang's apology was very inexplicable, and he didn't feel sorry for her. Lin Qiantan thought to herself that it wasn't so fast for her to apply anyway, so she would fight for it slowly.
As for the Lin family, Lin Qiantan never thought of asking Lin Quan for help.
After taking care of the affairs of the Chu family and having lunch, Lin Qiantan didn't need to be escorted, so she walked out on her own. It turned out to be such a coincidence, she was also going to take a look at the so-called Chu Shen's nephew, but she ran into him at the door of the Chu family.
The man is good-looking, and he is really a little similar to Chu Shen, it is said that he has two thin fields at home to support and study, and he was about to leave after sending a letter, but he stayed for some reason.
Lin Qiantan originally felt that something was wrong. She didn't remember any nephews Chu Shen had. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, only to find out that the so-called "nephew" who suddenly appeared is still someone she knows.
There are many customers in captivity under Yin Ren's subordinates, and they work together to have their own strengths.
The person in front of him will probably start to appear next to Yin Ren after about a year. In front of him, he is really just a poor scholar who will not be noticed.
This person will appear in the Chu family, does it mean that the so-called Yan Shao's letter is related to yin tenacity?
Of course, that person didn't know Lin Qiantan, and he was still wondering who was in the mansion. The second lady married outside, and the eldest lady worked as a female official in the palace......
Lin Qiantan was about to leave, but for him, she turned around and went back, and immediately went to Chu Yan again.
Such a person, if it is related to yin tenacity, how can he still stay in the Chu family.
Lin Qiantan couldn't say that this person must have anything to do with yin tenacity, but fortunately, her uncle believed her unconditionally, called the person over, and asked a few questions to test it, but the person didn't know that he was exposed, and in the end, he didn't know why he was suddenly kicked out.
On the other side of the house.
A man who looked like an attendant walked up to Yin Ren and reported something to Yin Huai, and Yin Huai walked quickly to Yin Ren and said, "...... Said he was kicked out. ”
Lin Qiantan went to the Chu family, and the Chu family, who had already loosened their mouths and wanted to entrust the "Chu Shen nephew" to "Yan Shao" to the silver, not only changed their minds, but also pulled out the nail they inserted into the Chu family.
Yin Ren smiled: "It's really grown." I don't know if he is praising Chu gradually or Lin Qiantan.
The abolished prince Yan Yong will always be a dead hole of the Chu family, as long as Chu gradually remembers the kindness with the abolished prince, there will always be a gap to drill.
However, these were all mixed up by Lin Qiantan.
Yin Huai originally had Lin Qiantan's idea. However, since he knew that his father's attitude towards the other party was very strange, he changed his mind and stopped in time.
Yin Ren smiled.
Chu Ling's daughter is Chu Ling's daughter, he said, there is such a mother, how can the daughter born be really stupid.
smiled and said: "Since he can't even do this little thing, he doesn't have to come in this prime minister's mansion." Tell him to study at home for a few more years before he comes out. This sentence is naturally the scholar who does things for Yin Ren.
Get rid of the heart of the family, not only Emperor Tianlong has it, but also has tenacity. And the Chu family is just a special yin and disgust.
Who told him that his request to marry Chu Ling was rejected? After that, the Chu family even married the woman he liked to a fool like Lin Quan.
The old past is also very interesting to think about now, Yin Ren continued to sketch with a pen, and Yin Huai looked out of the corner of his eyes, and clearly saw that there was another picture of Lin Qiantan standing at the birthday banquet and talking to people.
Yin Huai is good at painting and calligraphy, especially people.
Since Yin Huai remembered, Yin Ren has painted countless Zhang Chuling. This thoughts...... Lin Quan probably thinks that he can't be promoted, it's really the Chu family that has been pressing him.
So when Yin Huai saw Lin Qiantan for the first time, he also thought that the girl on the portrait should be Chu Ling.
But then I saw that something was wrong.
Yin tenacity wants to paint, and Yin Huai retreats. Before leaving, Yin Tenacious said as if unintentionally: "The third son of the Wang family looks very good, you can have more dealings with him." It's Wang Yuanxuan.
Yin Huai responded with a "yes". This time it really went down.
*
People are not adulterous teenagers. Even if you are a person like Yin Ren, you have an age when your heart is rippling. But unfortunately, no one understands his sincerity.
Lin Qiantan will also want to know how her own mother provoked yin tenacity back then.
Lin Qiantan secretly called bad luck when she met Yin Ren on the side of the road, and Yin Ren was very happy to see her.
Lin Qiantan and Chu Ling are getting more and more similar.
However, Yin Ren didn't have time to leave to tease Lin Qiantan, and Emperor Tianlong was still "seriously" injured in bed, and he had to visit the palace from time to time.
Lin Qiantan passed by him, and her originally good mood became bad.
Emperor Tianlong is now nested in the palace, and in and out every day, in addition to the eunuch who is a close confidant, Lin Qiantan has just entered the palace, in the name of visiting Concubine Xiao, to inquire for information.
Concubine Xiao didn't say anything, but she actually said everything.
Judging from the implied meaning in Concubine Xiao's words, the situation of Emperor Tianlong is indeed the same as Wang Yuanzhao guessed before.
Emperor Tianlong has nothing to do, but he looks very serious, what is he doing? The answer is imminent, and there is not much suspense.
The "handwritten" letter from Yan Shao that was sent to the Chu family is clear at a glance whose calculation it is. The purpose of Yin Tenacity is probably to be ruthless to the Chu family.
But the question is, Chu gradually also said that the handwritten letter did have Yan Shao's personal seal on it, what does this mean.
In the end, it should be considered that the skill of forging letters is too high. Or is it that Yan Shao has fallen into the hands of Yin tenacity at all. Not only did the king's murder fail in his operation, but even he himself became a hostage in the hands of the enemy.
Or rather...... He's just ......
Wang Yuanzhao held Yan Shao's soldier talisman, went to the place designated by Yan Shao to hide the troops, mobilized the soldiers and horses with the talisman, and ordered them to retreat. I came back after a trip, went back to my house as if nothing happened, and watched what happened.
After listening to Lin Qiantan's analysis, Wang Yuanzhao followed the direction to investigate, and confirmed that on the day of the birthday banquet, no one had seen him in Yinhuai for a period of time.
Wang Shanya helped a lot in this matter, but Wang Yuanzhao couldn't hide it from him.
The talisman that can mobilize more than 100,000 soldiers and horses was held in Wang Shanya's hand to play, but Wang Shanya didn't look much interested in it: "This is a hot potato."
Judging from the news from his son, someone got Yan Shao's private seal "False Transmission of the Holy Decree", what does this mean.
After Yan Shao escaped from the Dongping County Palace, he hid his head and showed his tail, and never saw others in person, if something happened to him, the person behind him did have a great chance to take advantage of the loophole.
Wang Shanya threw the talisman back to Wang Yuanzhao, Wang Yuanzhao caught it, and then stuffed it into his arms. Wang Shanya said as if unintentionally: "Don't tell anyone about the talisman." From today onwards, God knows, you know and I know, even if it is your mother and your eldest brother, you can't say it. ”
The "eldest brother" that Wang Shanya mentioned is not the eldest son of the Wang family of the Yanguo Mansion, his son, but Xia Sanniang's elder brother who grew up with Wang Yuanzhao since childhood, Wang Dagou.
When Wang Yuanzhao heard this, he was slightly stunned, and he did not refuse, but he also did not agree.
Compared with affection, although Wang Shanya's father is very good to him, the people who grew up with him are Xia Sanniang and Wang Dagou, and there are some things that Wang Yuanzhao can do intellectually.
Wang Shanya looked at his expression and guessed a little bit of his thoughts, but there were some things that he couldn't explain.
*
In a small mansion, Xia Sanniang and Wang Dagou live there.
Wang Dagou is not Wang Shanya's child, and he is not qualified to recognize the ancestor of the Yanguo Mansion. It happened that Xia Sanniang lived alone, so he lived with his mother.
When Wang Yuanzhao passed, Xia Sanniang was kneeling in front of a tablet covered with cloth, praying sincerely.
The brothers of the Wang family all know that their mother Xia Sanniang put the tablet of their brother's grandfather there and built a small Buddha hall, and they always have to kneel and bow a few times every day.
Wang Yuanzhao went by coincidence, it seemed that there had just been a guest in the house, and the two cups of tea on the table that were still steaming were placed there, indicating that the person who had come before should have just left.
There was even a smell of smoke on the man's clothes on the seat, and Wang Yuanzhao sat down on the stool where the man had sat and could smell the smell of rosin.
*
Wang Shanya was just about to go out and enter the palace to play the role of a loyal minister in front of Emperor Tianlong, when his father Wang Qun came in from outside. Father and son hit a chance on the road.
Wang Qun is different from Wang Shanya, he is the most serious and rigid person, but he looks more kind as he gets older, but his nature has not changed.
His facial features are similar to those of his children and grandchildren, but perhaps because he is older, he always likes to wear incense such as pine and bamboo, which he didn't like very much when he was young.
Wang Shanya only thought that her father was coming back from a walk, and she didn't care about him, and went to the palace by herself.
Wang Qun didn't care about his son's rudeness. Their father and son have different personalities, and their actions are also opposite, and even their political opinions have many conflicts.
But now the head of the Yan Guo Mansion is his son, he is just an idle old man, and he just goes out to see his friends on weekdays.
What worries him most is not about family affairs, but about the marriage of his children and grandchildren.
Like all grandparents and grandparents who dot on their grandchildren, Wang Qun is full of angry Buddhas to the outside world, and he is much more kind to his grandchildren than to his sons.
In his opinion, the marriage with the Wei family should have been obtained by his favorite grandson Wang Yuanxuan, but he ended up biting the gold halfway.
Wang Yuanzhao also knew that his blood grandfather didn't like him, but he was extremely tolerant of himself for some reasons he didn't know.
Speaking of Yan Guogong's mansion, I always have to say such an old man. originally thought that Xia Sanniang didn't like to listen to this, but Xia Sanniang was rarely patient, as if she was very satisfied with the grandfather of the old country mentioned by her younger son.
*
In the past few days, the assassination of Emperor Tianlong is still a hot topic on the streets. Wang Yuanzhao came out of the house and heard several versions of speculation along the way.
The emperor is a qualified angler, and his acting skills are not bad, but all those who can't hold their breath show their fox tails during his "serious injury". These people, jumping up and down, are actually all remembered by the emperor.
But there are also some people who have done nothing, but they want to add to the sin without excuse.
The Zhang family of Zheng Guogong's Mansion is even an unlucky ghost of this kind.
Zhang Luyuan was already a man with his tail between his legs, and Emperor Tianlong was still reluctant to let him go. He also deserved it, and brazenly got on Yan Shao's boat. When Emperor Tianlong was in a good mood, he let him go. When you're in a bad mood, shoot him at any time.
Emperor Tianlong waited for a few days, and when he saw that the fish that could be caught were almost out, he "suddenly woke up".
The first thing he did after "waking up" was to issue a rebuke to some of the people who were restless during his serious illness.
Zheng Guogong's mansion was very peaceful, but he was still criticized by name and cut his salary. People sit at home, and pots come from heaven.
Lin Qiantan took Zhang Yan to her store for sightseeing, and the surprise and envy in Zhang Yan's eyes couldn't be hidden.
While strolling, he said: "My father, these days at home all day long cursing the prince of Dongping County."
Lin Qiantan smiled: Zheng Guogong just had too bad luck.
Zhang Yan was surprised, naturally surprised that Lin Qiantan, the poor lady in the eyes of others, was actually very rich. Envy is envy, her Zheng Guogong Mansion is now suppressed, and she can't open the pot, on the surface, there is still a shell of the Guogong Mansion, but in fact, her mother is already pawning the dowry to maintain the façade of the Guogong Mansion.
Lin Qiantan said proudly: "Maybe your family will have a turn for the better after a few years of endurance." Emperor Tianlong will die, and Dashang will also perish, unless history changes too much, then the people of the Zheng Guogong Mansion will drag it out until that time, at least they don't have to worry about it all the time.
Zhang Yan laughed: "I hope to borrow your auspicious words."
As he was talking, a carriage outside stopped at the door, and he heard his voice before he saw it, Lin Qiantan didn't need to turn his head, just by listening to the sound of talking, he knew who was coming.
It's not that enemies don't get together. Jiang Zhiyue was getting out of the carriage. She was talking to the maid, "This is the shop you are talking about?"
On the other hand, the one who answered her sounded like a maid commonly used by Jiang Ningniang's side. The voice said, "Miss Cousin, you can't make a mistake."
Lin Qiantan now has the capital and business experience, and has long started the business of women's rouge gouache jewelry hairpins. The good store mentioned in Jiang Ningniang's girl is hers.
Lin Qiantan smiled, when she went out, even when she went to her own store, she had always been low-key and did not call her the boss. After working for a while, she already had a plan in her heart,
Jiang Zhiyue came to her shop today, how can she not slaughter it.
Thinking about it, he said to Zhang Yan: "Do you want to see live pigs being slaughtered?"
Zhang Yan didn't react for a while, she didn't know what Lin Qiantan was talking about, and she was about to speak. Over there, Jiang Zhiyue obviously saw Lin Qiantan as well, and came in with a forked voice, interrupting Zhang Yan.
Jiang Zhiyue has loved to rely on her money since she was a child and slapped Lin Qiantan in the face. The elders in her family doted on her very much, and gave her a lot of money to spend with her. Lin Qiantan didn't have the ability to care about it before, which doesn't mean that she doesn't hold grudges.
Just like she said to Zhang Yan, Jiang Zhiyue entered her store, and she wanted her to slap her swollen face to fill the fat man, and vomit blood hard. The old accounts of the past are just counted together.
This jewelry store is also a place of high consumption, the so-called penny is worth something, Jiang Zhiyue wanted to buy good things, so she begged Jiang Ningniang and asked the girl to take her out for a walk.
Jiang Ningniang agreed.
turned out to be so coincidental that I met Lin Qiantan.
Jiang Zhiyue still pretended to be intimate, calling "Sister Lin Family......
Zhang Yan then held back a smile and watched Lin Qiantan deliberately take out money to stuff the most expensive things in her pocket desperately. And Jiang Zhiyue also knew about her retrieving Chu Ling's dowry.
The little girl was not agitated, and she would never agree to Lin Qiantan stepping on her head, what Lin Qiantan bought, she bought twice or three times, and she saw that the eyelids of the Chu family maid who accompanied her jumped and jumped.
Lin Qiantan "lost" face again, but Jiang Zhiyue relied on the IOU to owe the store a lot of debts, and took those jewels and everything to the Chu family.
She couldn't see that as soon as she walked away, the "frustration" on Lin Qiantan's face disappeared.
Jiang Zhiyue was also distressed, but she was really used to being superior in front of Lin Qiantan. Even she couldn't afford the price of these expensive jewels.
The Jiang family brought her the silver spent in Beijing, saying that it was a lot less, but it was not as much as the astronomical amount. She then thought that after she went back, she would either beg Jiang Ningniang to help her pay off the IOU, or write a letter to her family to ask for money.
The manager of the store was clever, and as soon as Jiang Zhiyue left the store, he also followed and chased after the Chu family. At that time, Jiang Zhiyue will pay it even for the sake of face.
The Jiang family is also a family with some backgrounds, although there is only one Jiang Zhiyue in the capital at the moment, there will be people from their family who will enter Beijing in the future.
Zhang Yan waited for Jiang Zhiyue to go away before she smiled and said, "It looks like she is also going back to move the rescue soldiers, you are really willing, if your aunt pays for her, won't she also use the Chu family's money?"
Lin Qiantan smiled: "My aunt, I don't dare to touch the Chu family's money." At least not at the moment.
The more closely she observed Jiang Ningniang, the more certain Lin Qiantan was that her cousin Chu Jiang was by no means her uncle's own son. Otherwise, with Jiang Ningniang's character, even if she loves her husband, why would she grovel to her husband to the point of groveling.
And her uncle's attitude is also very strange, he doesn't choose a lot of virtuous and good women in the capital, and he has to wait for her niece to return to Beijing from Yunzhou to become a daughter-in-law......
