Chapter 292: Refusing to Come Back
Do you mean to say that in the previous life, there was a drought here because it never rained?
So in addition to being busy with Huicheng recently, you also mentioned the matter of water diversion and irrigation to the people in the government? Bai Jinli asked tentatively.
"Well, that's good."
"How did Lin Ziang frame you in the previous life?"
"He bought off a well-known Taoist chief in the capital and asked him to help me tell my fortune. Just in time for the drought in Qincheng, it pushed everything on me. ”
“…… Does anyone believe this? Bai Jinli was a little speechless.
It's a simple and annoying tactic.
"Of course! But this time, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint those people. Lin Shenyuan gently hooked the corners of his lips, revealing a cold smile.
"Lin Shenyuan, tell me about the past."
"Hmmm......"
The two of them were talking, and time passed quite quickly, and before they knew it, they arrived in Qincheng.
Originally, they said that they were going to Huicheng, but Huicheng was still far away from them, and even if they were in a hurry, they would have to walk for five or seven days.
Bai Jinli was still thinking about Shen Yun's reply and the arrangement of those things during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she didn't want to go too far for the time being.
Besides, Lin Shenyuan on the Huicheng side has already arranged for someone to prepare, and it is completely okay for her not to go.
When I got out of the carriage, it was completely dark, and the lights on both sides of the road were on.
After all, it was not the first time to come, and the two of them felt a sense of familiarity as they walked on the road.
I think the last person they saw when they left Qincheng was Li Jinbai.
Now that her Journey to the West script has been written to the finale, and it has been sent to the county to be printed, I don't know what news Li Jinbai has now.
Just thinking about it, the two of them walked and walked, and they came to the street before.
"Hey, why don't you see the old man who pinched the candy last time?"
didn't see the candy seller at a glance, Bai Jinli couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"This way." Lin Shenyuan took her to the old man's shop not far away.
Sure enough, the person is still the familiar old man, the sugar man is still that familiar appearance, and there are even more white dragon horses, such as the Buddha and the Bull Demon King, etc.
However, compared with before, with the support of the store, the old man's sugar man is obviously a little taller than before.
And with the lights in the store, even at night, the old man can choose what kind of candy man to pinch very casually, or close the door directly.
It won't be crowded, and it won't let the dust on the street fall on it.
"Uncle, two sugar men." Bai Jinli looked at the old man who was pinching something with his head down and spoke.
"Okay, hey, girl, it's you." As soon as the old man looked up and saw Bai Jinli's face, he suddenly looked surprised and grateful.
"I didn't expect you to remember us, uncle."
"Remember, remember, how can you not remember, come, you sit first, what do you want this time? Or is it a bone spirit? ”
"Give me a Golden Horn King and a Silver Horn King this time."
“…… Yes. The old man was stunned for a few seconds and nodded.
Sure enough, the girl still thinks very differently than before.
"Uncle, you pinch it first, let's go out for a walk, and come over to get it later."
"Hey, okay! Go, go, go. ”
Walking out of the store, Lin Shenyuan took her to the teahouse where she could listen to books and watch performances.
There have always been private rooms in the teahouse, so even though there are still a lot of people in the teahouse, they quickly entered.
The current performance has been updated again, with more real and false Monkey King, Monkey King three-tone banana fan, daughter country and so on.
They came at the right time, and after sitting for a long time, they began to sing the clip of the Monkey King's three-tone banana fan, and Bai Jinli watched it very seriously.
During this period, a little maid brought snacks in, and she didn't care about eating.
After watching the performance, Bai Jinli ate, drank two sips of tea, and called the little guy to inquire about Li Jinbai's recent news.
"Miss, what are you talking about Li Jinbai's son? A few days ago, I heard that he left Qincheng and went elsewhere, saying that he was looking for someone, but there has been no news until now. ”
"Isn't this the Journey to the West script on the market now coming to an end, everyone wants to inquire about him so that they know what the plot will be, but they can't find him."
"Miss, you're also curious about the end of this story, right? Hey, who's to say it isn't? It's a pity that I can't find anyone. The little guy couldn't help but sigh.
"The end will come out in two days. You say he went somewhere else, where exactly? ”
"Who knows? A lot of people are inquiring, but they can't find out. Hey, Miss, are you sure that the ending of Journey to the West is coming out? ”
"That's natural, you can't go wrong. Alright, there's nothing for you here. After Bai Jinli finished speaking, the little guy withdrew with a very good look.
"Xianggong, let's go too."
After sitting for a while, Bai Jinli and Lin Shenyuan walked out of the teahouse.
After walking around the street, the two of them returned to the old man to get the candy man, and Lin Shenyuan took Bai Jinli to a place.
And at this moment, in the capital, in the mansion of the Marquis of Yong'an.
The first moment Yong'an Hou returned to the Hou Mansion, he received condolences from his wife Zhao.
"Master Hou, you have been out for so long this time, but you have gone to see Lin Shenyuan's child again? What did he say? But came back with you? ”
The Zhao family has raised Lin Ziang for so many years, and because Lin Ziang has always been able to talk and come to things, he is deeply liked by the Zhao family.
As for the news that Zhao asked about Lin Shenyuan, he just asked casually, wondering how Lin Shenyuan was doing now.
No matter what, that Lin Shenyuan is also her own flesh and blood, so she should be concerned about it. As for the strangeness from far and near, Zhao's heart has a scale.
"What can you say? We owe him all these years, and he still refuses to come back. Lin Sheng sighed and spoke.
Originally, when he first came back, he was attacked on the road, and he was very devastated.
He sent someone to investigate, and it turned out that the person who came to attack him was Lin Shenyuan's person, and he was simply angry.
But along the way, he remembered a lot of things.
Thinking that Lin Shenyuan was the only bloodline in their Hou Mansion, and thinking of Lin Shenyuan's difficult past, no matter how angry he was, he had calmed down after this period of calm.
"Won't come back? What's going on with this kid? As his own father, you have already personally invited him twice, and he doesn't know the depth at all. Zhao opened his mouth a little angrily.
Even if it is true that they owe that child all these years, but that child is too ignorant to do this now.
Let his biological father put down his body to pick him up once or twice, and he is still unwilling to come back.
Even if he has dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart over the years, he has to come back to the capital, so that they have a chance to make up for him.
Is he just that? What do you want to do in that little place all the time?
Is it possible that you still want to wait for her to come over and pick him up in person?
"Madame, don't be angry. In fact, as long as we are willing to invite Ziang out of the mansion and then inform him of the news, even if I don't pick him up, he will come back to the mansion by himself. ”
"Master, what are you talking about! Ziang, we've been raising him for so many years, you really can't bear to drive him away? ”
"That child is so well-behaved and sensible, he called us father and mother for so many years, we are a big Hou Mansion, and we can't afford to raise this child Ziang?"
As soon as Zhao heard that he was going to drive Lin Ziang away, his face changed instantly.
"Besides, the person who has lived with us all these years has always been Lin Ziang, not him Lin Shenyuan. Who is he to ask us to do that? ”
"Master, otherwise this matter will be left at that, since he is not willing to come back, then he will never come back, we can also have Ziang."
"Nonsense! In any case, Lin Shenyuan is the purest bloodline of our Hou Mansion, and he must return to the Hou Mansion. Yong'an Hou Linsheng's face was slightly gloomy.
No matter how much he loves the Zhao family, he still has to act according to the ancestral teachings.
Now that he already knows that his family's blood is flowing outside, how can he be willing to ignore this matter and let him flow?
"Then what do you say, sir? Why don't you find time for me to see the kid? ”
"Madam, you haven't been in good health, so let's stay in the mansion well, let me think about it carefully." Yong'an Hou patted Zhao's hand comfortingly and said.
"As for Ziang's child, don't tell him about this matter first, lest he get emotional."
"yes, got it." Zhao nodded.
"Ma'am, you know what? Although Shen Yuan's kid is stubborn, he is really not ordinary, his eyebrows and eyes are very similar to you, and he is very capable. ”
"Really?"
“……”
In the room, two people were sitting on chairs next to them and saying this, and Lin Ziang outside the house stood there quietly and listened quietly.
When he heard Lin Sheng start praising Lin Shenyuan, his two hands clenched involuntarily.
Especially after Zhao's face also had a smile on his face and his tone became gentle, Lin Ziang's face became even more unsightly.
What's so good about bloodlines? Just because Lin Shenyuan has the blood of the Hou Mansion, do you want to press him?
The person who has lived in the Hou Mansion over the years is obviously him.
If you want to drive him out of the Hou Mansion, don't even think about it.
He, Lin Ziang, must have found a way to get the title of Marquis of Yong'an.
Gently retreating from here, Lin Ziang returned to his house and summoned his men.
"How's that for you to do?"
"Childe, the little one has already inquired, the Putuo Daoist has already left the customs, do you want to invite him to the mansion?"
"Of course. But before I do that, I'll pay him a visit myself. A smile appeared on Lin Ziang's face.
"Have you prepared all the things I asked you to arrange in the mansion?"
"Childe, rest assured, everything is ready."
"Well, that's good."
