Chapter Seventy-Nine: You Can't Be Too Greedy
Lin Yue smiled knowingly and went upstairs back to the guest room.
Listening to Brother Erhuan, the sixth son sent pen, ink, paper and inkstone to her younger brother, and she really wanted to go back and take a look soon.
As soon as Lin Yue walked into the guest room, he saw his younger brother sitting at the coffee table with his sister in his arms, feeding his sister pastries.
As soon as the younger sister saw her, she spread her arms and made a gesture for her to hug.
When Lin Yue saw her sister like this, she hurriedly stepped forward, took her sister to hug her, and personally fed her sister pastries. Just said to his brother:
"You eat the pastry and practice your own calligraphy in the guest room for a while. Today, you will use the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone that the sixth prince gave you......"
Ah Jing kindly asked Brother Er Huan to send it over, if his younger brother didn't use it, wouldn't he live up to Ah Jing's kindness to his younger brother?
Before Lin Yue came back, Lin Heng privately compared the rice paper that his sister bought for him with the six sons of Tuo Erhuan. Although he didn't know much about these, he could still see that the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that the sixth prince bought were better.
Good things have to be kept and used slowly.
Lin Heng smiled and said:
"Sister, I want to keep all the good things that the sixth prince gave me and bring them to Yancheng to use again."
Lin Yue could see that his younger brother was reluctant to use it. He immediately nodded and said, "Okay, brother." ”
The two siblings were eating pastries and chatting when there were two knocks at the door.
"Knock, knock."
Lin Yue thought that Lu Jingshuo, who had sent something to his younger brother, came, so he was ready to let his younger brother hold his sister so that he could open the door.
But before he could think about it, the younger brother had already put down the dishes and chopsticks, stood up and opened the door.
Lin Yue sat at the coffee table and took a look, only to find that the person standing at the door was not Lu Jingshuo, but her little cousin Zhao Zhuyi.
When I was sitting in the carriage before, after the little cousin jumped out of the carriage, he was left behind by the eldest cousin. At the speed at which my little cousin walked, he should have arrived in the city a long time ago.
It may be that Uncle Xiao went to do something somewhere, so he waited until this time and came to the inn.
As soon as Lin Yue waited for Lin Heng to sit back at the coffee table, he hugged his sister to his younger brother, took the dishes and chopsticks himself, and gave the little cousin pastries.
At these times, if you fetch water to let the little cousin wash his face, it will undoubtedly cause the little cousin's disgust. Moreover, when my little cousin was at home, he didn't pay so much attention to it.
Lin Yue gave all the pastries on the plate to the little cousin to eat, and watched the little cousin eat the last piece of pastry on the plate, before standing up and bringing the teapot and pouring a cup of tea for the little cousin.
Zhao Zhuyi may have eaten the pastries a little quickly, and after eating a large plate of pastries, he burped several times one after another. I saw Lin Yue hand over a cup of tea, quickly stretched out his hand and continued, drank it in a big gulp, and soon drank the cup of tea.
Zhao Zhuyi put the teacup on the coffee table, looked at Lin Yue's eyes full of expectation, and said:
“…… I've thought of anything I can think of. I went to the county government to play drums, and I told them that I did everything alone, and it had nothing to do with my eldest brother Zhao Zhucheng. But they didn't listen to me, so they threw me out. No, I had to come to the inn to ask for the shopkeeper's ......."
Lin Yue waved his hand and said:
"Little cousin, the matter has come to this, no matter who we go to beg, it can only be like that. Also, the shopkeeper has already helped Uncle Cousin a lot, and before that, he had persuaded Uncle Cousin several times. It's just that the eldest cousin didn't listen. ”
Zhao Zhuyi showed an expression of disbelief and asked:
"You mean, even the shopkeeper of this inn can't help my eldest brother? Then my eldest brother is he...... Isn't it certain that you will die? ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhuyi regretted it, clenched his fists and hit his body, one punch was heavier than the other.
Lin Yue saw his little cousin like this, and he also thought he was so pitiful. She couldn't bear it and said, "Little cousin, don't think so......"
The eldest cousin made a mistake, and if he was not severely punished, he would not be able to explain to the people of Jingxi Country by the veteran General Xue. This is a crime committed in Yanzhou, if Senior General Xue's army releases his eldest cousin just because he is from Yanzhou, he will inevitably be spurned.
If the people in the state capital knew about it, they would say that the Duke of Yan Guo was just a vain name, and he was not a powerful general I army. knew that he harbored the criminals in Yanzhou and connived at others to do things for the Northern Crossbows. In this way, even if Yan Guogong is a general who has fought against the strong enemy of the Northern Crossbow, how much difference is there between him and the person who aided in the abuse?
Lin Yue took this into account, so he softly persuaded Zhao Zhuyi:
"Little Cousin......"
If an uncle like my cousin commits such a big crime, what kind of responsibility will he bear, I don't need to say, you must know better than me. Now, they just go to the eldest cousin to hold them accountable, but they don't hold you and your uncle accountable, which is really rare.
The rest of the words, she just thought about it in her heart, and didn't say it. The little cousin is so smart, there are some things that he can know even if she doesn't say them.
After Zhao Zhuyi heard this, he stretched out his hand and slapped it heavily on the coffee table, and asked in a deep voice:
"I actually understand what you said. But the person who is about to be escorted to the Imperial City by them is, after all, my own big brother. I, as a younger brother, can't ...... Alas! ”
No one wants to watch their relatives have an accident, this kind of mood, Lin Yue can understand. In her first life, after she learned about her background, she was bent on avenging her dead parents!
But later, on her own, she only killed the enemy's son Qiu Shi, and Qiu Yuanli, who really killed her biological father, was beheaded after Ah Jing ascended the throne and became emperor.
No matter who is alive, they all want to be with their relatives and live well. My cousin is like this, and she is no exception.
After being silent for a long time, she heard her little cousin's question:
"If I can tell Veteran General Xue that they have a secret, a secret related to the safety of a member of the royal family, can they let my eldest brother go after knowing this secret? Even if it is to put him in prison, lock him up for the rest of his life, and not give him freedom. As long as they don't kill him, I'll ...... It's also acceptable. ”
After Lin Yue heard this, he really wanted to tell his little cousin: Do you think that the secrets you know that you think are secrets, they really don't know about Senior General Xue's Army?
You, a person who has never been to the Imperial City, still say that you know a secret related to the safety of a member of the royal family. Even if this is true, how many people are willing to listen to it? Willing to believe?
Lin Yue said: "...... Even if they hear this, they may not take it to heart. ”
Zhao Zhuyi shook his head painfully and said, "If I had known that my eldest brother would come out and take the initiative to find Senior General Xue and admit their mistakes, I shouldn't have robbed him of food when I was at home." You should not despise him and say things that are not acceptable to him to hurt him......"
"I heard that Uncle Cousin will stay in Qinhe County for a few days. I'll talk to the shopkeeper in a moment to see if she can help you and arrange for you to meet with your eldest cousin. I'll also go to the kitchen to make some delicious food, make my cousin's favorite pastries, and bring them to you. ”
Lin Yue said sincerely.
Zhao Zhuyi said gratefully: "Thank you Yue'er." As soon as I heard Yue'er say that she wanted to make delicious food, thinking that it would be very convenient for her to make delicious food in the inn, she took the initiative to say:
"Yue'er, I want to eat chicken, I want to eat pork ribs, I want to eat rice, I want to eat Hu cakes, I still want to ......"
Lin Yue wrote them down one by one, and when Zhao Zhuyi didn't say anything more, she stood up and went downstairs to the kitchen to cook food for him and his eldest brother.
