This New Year, the city of Bian'an is not as lively as in previous years, there is no national mourning period, no feasting, no drinking, and it seems a little depressed. But also because of this, the Lin family with white flags did not seem to be incompatible with the entire Bian'an City.

On the seventh day of the first month, Lin Ruo's real birthday, he did not have a reunion dinner as in previous years, and everyone was not in this mood. However, Murong Chong did not forget to prepare a hairpin carved by himself for Lin Ruo, and there was still a seal engraved "Yao" on the tail of the hairpin. The wood has no temperature, but when it is held in the palm of his hand, it makes Lin Ruo feel very warm.

On the fifteenth Shangyuan Festival, Lin Ruo and Lin Qi did not go to the street to enjoy the lanterns together, and the ignorant Li Xien did not make a fuss, and obediently stayed at home, fiddling with the white rabbit lantern that Li Yan asked people to bring back to him.

originally thought that when Lin Qian died, the Lin family would be able to bully people at will, but after seeing Lin Ruo's fierceness, they restrained a little, especially Pan Fu, who was frightened and took his younger son with him wherever he went, for fear that the concubine and concubine would have a bad heart and harm this single seedling. The Lin family's shop is also peaceful, and there are no major problems.

However, because Qilanxiang, Fenghuaxue and Star-Picking Mansion are all closed, the impact on the Lin family's business is still obvious. As for whether it will hurt the fundamentals, it is up to the benevolent to see the benevolent, and the wise to see the wise.

On the twenty-second day of the first month, the last day of the thirtieth day of filial piety, Lin Ruo, Lin Qi, and Li Yan were in the study, facing the two secret letters in front of them, with solemn expressions.

One was a message sent by Daiguo, saying that Meng Jiugong was seriously ill and bedridden, and Meng Bin, the king of Zeguo Gong, would be ordered to send an envoy to Donglu and sign a peace covenant with Donglu; Another person who sent the letter, to the surprise of all three, was Mr. Gao from the Wan family, who wrote in the secret letter that Wan Hui was ambitious and conspired with the prince to annex the Lin family.

Meng Jiugong is the important minister of Zeguo, and the supreme commander of the Xuanjia Army of Zeguo, it is not an exaggeration to say that his existence can be said to be the Dinghai Shenshen Needle of Zeguo, as long as he is there, and his Xuanjia Army is there, other countries will have to weigh it if they want to start a war with Zeguo. Therefore, when Meng Jiugong was critically ill, it was not surprising that Emperor Zeguo sent someone to conclude a peace alliance with Donglu.

But this Mr. Gao Chong, isn't he the most trusted person by Wan Hui? Wan Hui wants to annex the Lin family, shouldn't he help with advice? How could he report to the Lin family instead? Moreover, this letter is still in the high-level secret language of the Lin family - that is, the kind that Lin Ruo and Li Yan can communicate by tapping and hide people's eyes!

There are only a handful of people who know this kind of secret language.

If it weren't for the fact that this letter was the secret language of the Lin family, the three of them would definitely suspect Gao Chong's intentions, but now...... The three of them are in the study You look at me and I look at you, and I see the blankness in each other's eyes.

Lin Qi took the letter sent by Gao Chong, looked left and right, and was very embarrassed: "This Mr. Gao...... Are we people? Daddy, he never said ......"

Lin Ruo nodded: "Indeed, but this is not the kind of secret language we use to transmit messages, but a secret language that only you, me, uncle, and Brother Li know." Does this prove that he is someone that his uncle trusts very much? ”

Both of them looked at Li Yan, hoping that he could give an answer. However, it is clear that Li Yan is also unaware. Maybe only Lin Qian can give them the answer, but now Lin Qian is gone.

And before Lin Qian died, he did not leave a single word about Gao Chong.

All three of them had bitter faces, frowning, thinking.

Li Yan pondered for a long time and took the lead in speaking: "Whether this news is true or not, we must prepare early. Whether Wan Hui wants to annex the Lin family, I don't know, but the prince has always wanted to take the Lin family for himself. He has tried many times, hoping that I will turn against you in order to seek the power of the Lin family. ”

When the prince first revealed this thought, Li Yan told Lin Ruo about this concern, and later Lin Qi also listened to it, so when Li Yan proposed the prince's ambitions, the two sisters and brothers did not show much surprise.

Not only Li Yan, but also mentioned this in the secret letter sent by Zhang Xu.

The smooth trial of the Qingmiao method in the Jiangnan area made the prince more and more fluttering, and also made the greed in his heart ready to move again: power, wealth, and beauty are things that every man wants to sit on, and moreover, he wants more, and the prince who has been in the whirlpool of desire, especially.

Because of the smooth implementation of the green seedling law in Jiangnan, it was also tried in Liangguang last year, and as for the land of the two lakes, it is also expected to be tried this year. The prince is full of ambition and does have capital.

Lin Ruo raised his eyelids, his gaze was deep, flashing with an elusive meaning: "If the Wan family really dares to fight the Lin family's idea, we will just use them as the first bird to kill chickens and monkeys!" ”

Li Yan narrowed his eyes, and a fine light flashed in his eyes. He quickly understood the meaning of Lin Ruo's words, followed her words, and said meaningfully: "Qian Zhuang is indeed very rich. ”

Lin Ruo looked at Li Yan and smiled knowingly.

However, Lin Qi didn't understand, he was confused, his eyes wandered back and forth between Lin Ruo and Li Yan, and asked, "Brother Li, second sister, what are you talking about?" What's the plan? ”

Lin Ruo smiled gently at Lin Qi: "It can be a way to balance ten thousand families, and it is a way to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle." But this matter is a bit complicated to say, let Brother Li explain it to you in detail in a while......"

Lin Ruo was stunned suddenly, Li Yan and Lin Qi looked at her, their brows furrowed involuntarily, and they asked uneasily, "Second sister Ah Ruo, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lin Ruo seemed to be deep in thought, her eyes flickered dimly and inexplicably, and after a while, she came back to her senses, looked at the two people who were looking at her nervously, and said, "I remembered something, perhaps, it can explain Gao Chong's identity. ”

"What's the matter?" Lin Qi and Li Yan asked in unison.

"More than 20 years ago, Gao Chong put forward the idea of 'saving silver tickets', and first put it into practice, began to do money business, and then with the help of Yin Liu Geng of Jingzhao Mansion at that time, he went to Chen Yuqian to implement silver tickets." Lin Ruo said slowly, "In the second year I arrived in the Lin Mansion, I heard about Gao Chong, and I mentioned to my uncle that Gao Chong is a talent, if you can bring him over, it will definitely be like a tiger." However, my uncle did not agree at that time. ”

Lin Qi looked at Lin Ruo thoughtfully: "Second sister, do you want to say that because my father has long known that Gao Chong is his own person, so he didn't agree?" ”

Lin Ruo didn't agree with Lin Qi's idea, but he didn't deny it but continued: "I thought at the time that my uncle thought I was too young, so he thought I was joking. But later, my uncle found out that I had a talent for business, and he would ask me what I thought about many things. After that, I mentioned it again, but my uncle rejected me, saying 'the time has not come'. ”
