Chapter Seventy-Seven: Eat Soft Rather Than Hard
On the second day after the Lin family's wedding, an unexpected thing happened in the imperial capital, the family of the servant was imprisoned for treason with the enemy.
In addition, the second master of the Lin family was also dismissed by the emperor himself because of his "crazy words" about the eldest prince in the restaurant, and it is rumored that he did not go to prison directly because of Xu Chunzhi, who has an in-law relationship with the Lin family.
Since the assassination of the eldest prince in the palace, the guards of the entire imperial city have suddenly become several times stricter, and now there is a family of officials and servants in prison, and the courtiers are all trembling, lest they provoke the emperor's anger at this time.
General Yuanda, as the highest general among the guards of the imperial city, is naturally extremely busy, almost taking the military camp as his home, and naturally relaxes a lot about the situation in his home.
Since Lin Yunxin and Xu Chunzhi got engaged, the general's wife Zhuang has been much colder to the mother and daughter of the Luo family who rushed to defect, after all, the girl of the Luo family came to her son at a glance, in the past, Lin Yunxin was in front of her, of course, the well-behaved and obedient Luo girl is much more pleasing to the eye, and now that there is no target, she naturally looks more and more unpleasant to people.
The general's wife's attitude changed, and Yuan Yuxin was also happy, she had long been impatient to play some tricks with Miss Luo, but since Lin Yunxin disappeared, she was also depressed in her heart, and she wanted to help find someone but didn't know where to start, so she only sulked at home every day.
"Third brother, what are you doing?" Yuan Yuxin was bored, and found Yuan Huanlang, the most leisurely of the three brothers, and looked at him as if he was counting his family assets and going to pack for a long trip.
Yuan Huanlang instructed his personal servants to be busy, and said to Yuan Yuxin: "Don't do it, go out." ”
"Where to go? By the way, I heard that the Lin family held a wedding yesterday, it was Miss Lin San and General Qin, and my father went to attend? Yuan Yuxin asked.
"Yes, I went through the motions, and probably comforted the fourth master of the Lin family."
Yuan Yuxin was slightly silent: "Where did you say Wan Xin went?" ”
"If you want to know, go find it yourself, what's the use of asking me?"
"Hey!" Yuan Huanlang's unceremonious tone made her very unhappy, and suddenly, Yuan Yuxin reacted, "What the hell are you doing...... Where do you want to go? Why do you seem to be going out and not coming back? Won't it ...... Yes! Do you want to go to the ......?"
Yuan Yuxin suddenly screamed, so frightened that Yuan Huanlang immediately covered her mouth and glared at her: "What the hell is your name?" Do you have to provoke your mother? ”
"Hmm!" Yuan Yuxin nodded and shook her head again, constantly comparing the packing tickets, and never shouting loudly, waiting for Yuan Huanlang to let go, and said incredibly, "Brother, do you really want to go?" ……”
"Just go out and go around." Yuan Huanlang hooked the corners of his lips, not caring about the authenticity.
"Could it be ......" Yuan Yuxin paused and said with some concern, "Actually, third brother, you care a lot?" ”
"What?" Yuan Huanlang raised his eyebrows.
"I mean...... In fact, you are very concerned about not being able to successfully get engaged to Wan Xin before? Actually, you want to ...... with her too."
Without waiting for Yuan Yuxin to finish speaking, Yuan Huanlang said irritably: "Why are you talking so much nonsense?" It's okay to get out of the way, I'm going out. ”
"Wait! Even if you go now, you can't get it back......" Yuan Yuxin grabbed him.
"Tsk." Yuan Huanlang smacked his lips, "I said, why have you become such a mother-in-law now?" Did you stay with that Luo girl for a long time and become a waste? ”
"You?!" Yuan Yuxin was stunned for a moment, and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't it all your trouble? If it weren't for you, how would my mother have let them live in ......"
"Stop!" Yuan Huanlang was a little irritable, "How many years ago, don't talk about it every day." In fact, there is no need for my mother, our family is developed, and there are many people who want to come to fight the autumn breeze, even if the Luo family has some relationship with us, it is already benevolent and righteous to give some money to buy a house, how can we put people in the house and take a son? ”
In fact, Yuan Yuxin also thought so, but the girl of the Luo family was indeed hurt by her third brother after all......
"But her face? ……”
"Is she ugly?" Yuan Huanlang asked rhetorically.
"That's not ......" After all, although the girl of the Luo family has a small scar on her face, she knows how to cover it up skillfully, and after adding flowers, she has a little more coquettish style, just looking better than many nobles in the imperial capital.
"Isn't that the end of it? It's not that she can't get married, at most our family will give her a dowry. With the status of our family, it is not difficult to give her a petty official wife, is it possible that she will marry a top nobleman? ”
Yuan Yuxin glanced at him, didn't people just take a fancy to you, a top nobleman?
"But also, if you really want to get married, you can only be a concubine, and I don't know what she thinks......"
"No matter what she thinks, it was my mother who delayed others in the past, and now I naturally want to guide everything back on track, no, I also counted some personal assets that fell in my name, and simply gave her as compensation as a dowry."
Yuan Yuxin was stunned, and suddenly felt that her third brother had become different from before.
In the past, Yuan Huanlang was a standard noble son of the imperial capital, after all, his family background was extraordinary, his father and brother were both powerful in the court, even if he played in a foolish place for a lifetime, he could live a chic and worry-free life. It was not long ago that he did business with her and Lin Yunxin, and he was still that cynical and relaxed.
But I have to say that her third brother is indeed smart and very talented in business. Not only that, in fact, her third brother also seems to be embroidered in martial arts, but in fact, he is much stronger than her who studies hard every day. The reason why he did not serve his country with this effort was simply because he was not interested.
But when it comes to what he's interested in, few people can say clearly.
It is difficult for him to maintain a long-term enthusiasm for anything, and he usually studies it for a while and finds that it is not enough, and immediately changes to a different method of entertainment. It is true that since he was born, he has had things that many people have worked hard all their lives to not necessarily get, so why should he force himself to work hard for things that he does not like?
originally thought that his interest in Lin Yunxin was nothing more than that, and she was angry for a long time for this, but now it seems that ...... Maybe not as she thought it would?
"You...... Why do you suddenly care so much about Miss Luo? Yuan Yuxin wanted to speak and stopped. In the past, her third brother must not have noticed this, the ups and downs of a girl's life, how could her third brother take it seriously?
Yuan Huanlang scratched his head a little irritably, "I used to be a bit of a bastard, and I didn't understand it at that time...... Well, what do I do when I explain this to you? It's useless, you're still ......."
"I'll go with you." Yuan Yuxin said suddenly.
"What?" Yuan Huanlang was stunned.
"I also care about Wan Xin's safety, and I don't want to just sit at home and do nothing, and I have studied martial arts for so many years, and there is no use for it today, what if ...... If I can really do a little bit to save Wan Xin, I will be very happy! At least it shows that I haven't practiced in vain all these years. Yuan Yuxin smiled.
"......" Yuan Huanlang suddenly fell silent.
Yuan Yuxin looked at him, and suddenly felt a little sad in her heart. Her third brother has really changed. It turned out that the failure of this marriage proposal hit him so hard, why didn't she see it before?
If it weren't for the Luo family girl, maybe Wan Xin and her third brother's relationship would have been completed, but even if the third brother understands now and wants to send the girl away, it will be too late...... Or did he really think that now that Wan Xin had been kidnapped, he had a chance? Because General Xu may retire because he cares about Wan Xin's disappearance? He wants to take Wan Xin over?
Doesn't he care about that?
Yuan Yuxin moved her lips, but she didn't ask this sentence, because it was too hurtful. She suddenly felt as if she had never really understood her third brother.
After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Huanlang said: "I'm afraid you don't know my destination yet, I'm going to Huaizhou." ”
"Huaizhou? Wan Xin was taken to Huaizhou? Yuan Yuxin was taken aback, "How do you know ......?"
"Shh Yuan Huanlang asked her to be quiet, "This is what I know from Master Mu, I can't fake it." ”
"Oh......" Yuan Yuxin nodded knowingly, and then said firmly, "Then I'm going to go even more." ”
Yuan Huanlang looked at her for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "You didn't succeed in saving others, you were arrested first." ”
"I won't be so reckless!" Yuan Yuxin said angrily, hesitated slightly, and said reluctantly, "It's a big deal to go out, just listen to you." ”
"Oh, don't break your word."
Huaizhou.
Lu Tingge sat on the edge of Lin Yunxin's bed, tilting his head to look at her sleeping face, only to feel that she was pure and beautiful when she was quiet, although she was also lively and moving when she was awake, but it was always a little more lethal.
He couldn't help but think that it seemed that for Miss Lin Si, she could only outwit and not attack, this was a girl who ate soft and not hard.
I don't know how long it took, Lin Yunxin woke up slowly.
At the moment when she moved, Lu Tingge quickly threw away her hand in her hand, and her body retreated, making a look of just coming over and carelessly.
Lin Yunxin opened her eyes, blinked, looked at him, turned over and decided to continue sleeping.
"You wake me up!" Lu Tingge broke the gong in an instant and broke Lin Yunxin over.
"What? Can you not be so fierce to the patient? Lin Yunxin deliberately showed weakness, her voice was soft, and her expression was very pitiful.
Lu Tingge choked, and couldn't help but wonder, are sick people so weak? Or is this girl thinking again?
In this way, he subconsciously kept his distance from Lin Yunxin, after all, the previous injury was too heavy, and he really didn't want to do it again.
A smile flashed in Lin Yunxin's eyes, knowing that he had scared him before, so it was just right, so that he really thought she was a bully.
Lu Tingge keenly caught Lin Yunxin's funny emotions, and was annoyed in his heart, but he didn't make a move to lock her in the firewood room again, but said: "You opened Derentang and Lixiangtang to Huaizhou before, do you want to come to Huaizhou to do business?" ”
Speaking of business, Lin Yunxin immediately sat up, not thinking that this was a bedroom, and replied with a little excitement: "That's right, in a place like Huaizhou, which is rich in the world, as long as it is a businessman, how can he put down this piece of fat and not come to mix it?" ”
Seeing her gluttony, Lu Tingge felt funny in his heart, pondered slightly, and said, "Actually...... If you want to do business in Huaizhou, it's not impossible. Lu Tingge's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled.
"Huh?" Lin Yunxin pondered this sentence for a moment and said, "You mean, as long as I do business in Huaizhou, you can let me go?" Or, in fact, you can decide whether I can do business in Huaizhou? ”
Lu Tingge's eyes lit up for a moment, this little girl ...... The brain is really good, and you can guess the truth in one sentence.
Lu Tingge did not deny it, and said with a smile: "Yes, but I also have conditions." ”
"You say!" Lin Yunxin sat down obediently and cooperated very much, and it was a great thing to be able to let her do business without being imprisoned.
"First of all, you can't leave Huaizhou without my permission."
"No problem." Since she came, she didn't plan to leave so soon, and after sleeping in the firewood room for a few days, she didn't do nothing, and she had already planned the blueprint she should have.
But Lu Tingge's next sentence made her slightly stunned.
"Secondly, I want to take a full stake in your business." Lu Tinge hooked his lips and smiled, and said proudly.
