Chapter 209: Asking for Help
A carriage with a green sara tent stopped at the door of Lin's house in Sweetwater Lane, and two girls in pink clothes and blue skirts got out of the car and knocked on the door of Lin's house.
After a few months of training, Ginkgo's temperament has also calmed down a lot, seeing someone come with a prayer post, although illiterate, but also know that it must be a great background, can not afford to offend, said with a smile: "If the two sisters don't dislike it, they will drink a cup of tea in the corner gate and wait for a while, and I will go back to Mrs. Yu." ”
Phantom Bamboo and Phantom Fragrance looked at each other and smiled, and said: "Sister can't reach it, I'm afraid my sister doesn't recognize the words on this post, we are the maids of the county lord of Jiaoyue, and we were ordered by the county lord to invite the eldest lady of the Lin family to come over the house to reminisce about the past." ”
Ginkgo excitedly took the greeting post, stared at them with wide eyes, and said secretly: My mother, the eldest lady actually knows the county lord, and she has never heard anyone talk about it. Thinking of this, I didn't know how to put my hands and feet, I saluted the two of them first, turned around and ran two steps, felt that it was wrong, and turned back, and said excitedly: "Two sisters, my eldest lady is not at home at this time, if you are in a hurry, go to the Hongxing Building in the East City to find her." ”
Not to mention, the county lord really had something urgent to find her, and when the two maids heard this, they thanked her, and then returned to the carriage and relayed Ginkgo's words to the county lord.
"Let's go, go to the Red Apricot Building to find her."
Lin Mei was worried about Lin Hai's matter in the handling hall, and Qi Niang had not found any valuable news there, and she was not happy at all when she flipped through the account book of the recent daily income doujin.
When the little sixth son heard that the county lord personally came to the door to find the owner to catch up with the old days, he didn't dare to be a little lazy, so he hurriedly ran to the backyard to report.
"Who do you say are looking for me to catch up?" Lin Mei was stunned for half a second, thinking that she had auditory hallucinations.
Xiao Liuzi replied again: "Master, she said that she is the county lord, and she specially came from Chang'an to find you to catch up." ”
"Hurry up and invite someone in, forget it, I'll go out to meet her personally." Lin Mei came back to her senses from her surprise and walked to the front hall as she spoke.
When the two met, they looked at each other and smiled, but Lin Mei looked at her with a slightly red eye, a haggard face, and a stiff expression, and walked to the backyard with a pull.
Before anyone entered the house, Lin Mei couldn't wait to ask, "Tell me what happened?" ”
It's okay not to ask, this intimate question led the county lord's pearl tears out.
Lin Mei chuckled in her heart, and asked the maid Huanxiang, "What happened to the county lord?" ”
Phantom Xiang stepped forward and said: "If you don't marry to make trouble, Miss Lin doesn't know, originally this matter of marriage is not the turn of our county lord, the emperor originally wanted to choose one among Princess Xianyi and Princess Jiahe, Princess Jiahe is the queen's daughter-in-law, how can she be willing to marry far away to that wild place." I don't know when the palace reported that Princess Xianyi was selected, and it was also a coincidence, the princess was covered in measles at this time, and the emperor was afraid of infecting others, so he sent it to the imperial village. I don't know which plague god went to suggest to the emperor, saying that the county lord is also of royal blood, and his age is also legitimate, although the emperor has not yet responded, but this matter is already eight or nine years old, and it will be a matter of time sooner or later. ”
Lin Mei shared the same hatred for the enemy, and was also indignant for the county lord, and said in surprise: "Does the Queen Mother not care about this?" ”
The county lord of Jiaoyue wiped a handful of tears, and his face was full of sorrow: "If it is something else, maybe the queen mother can come forward to speak for me, but if I don't go, it will be her own granddaughter, people are selfish, how can she be willing, I entered the palace for three days in a row to ask to see, the queen mother said that she was sick and refused to see me, but in the end she sent Gonggong Hai to the princess's mansion to train me, let me take care of the overall situation, state affairs are important, but ridiculous I have always thought that she was sincere to me." ”
"Then Princess Xianyi really has measles? How could it be so coincidental? Sooner rather than later, you got sick at this critical juncture? Lin Mei asked suspiciously.
"If you say that there is no cat in this, who will believe it, but what can we do, except for the queen mother, the county lord only has you, a close friend, the girl has always been smart, or you can make an idea for our county lord."
Lin Mei was a little embarrassed, such a big thing is not child's play, how can this idea come up casually?
"Lin Mei, even if I beg you, you can help me, I won't tell you, I just came out of the sixth brother, and the sixth brother is now difficult to protect himself, the fourth brother rebelled, and the emperor was suspicious of the sixth brother, and he even had plans to remove him. The sixth brother didn't dare to let me stay in the house longer, and before he could say a few words, he asked people to send me back to Chang'an. I said I wanted to see you before I left, and he relented and asked me to stay for another half day. "The county lord of Jiaoyue is really desperate, so he asked her to come.
Lin Mei pondered every word of the county lord, and was secretly shocked, and really confirmed that sentence, flowers are not red for a hundred days, people are not good for a thousand days, and everything has to rely on themselves.
"Presumably the county lord hasn't eaten yet, don't worry too much, three Zhuge Liang is worth a stinker, let's eat something first, and then plan slowly."
After speaking, I went to the kitchen and ordered a few of the county lord's favorite dishes.
During the banquet, the county lord looked at the three treasures of the sea, how could there be any taste, his eyes were hazy, and he looked desperate, Lin Mei really couldn't bear to look at her like this, and her heart was horizontal, and said: "Or, you should book a family affair now, as long as the marriage is made before the holy decree comes down, is it possible that the emperor still dares to let the married county lord marry to the Turks?" Even if the emperor is willing, he can't agree to the Turkic envoys. ”
The eyes of the county lord of Jiaoyue lit up, but he didn't maintain half a breath, and it darkened again, "At this juncture, where can I find a suitable family?" ”
"Let me ask you, has the news of the emperor's intention to let you go to discuss your relatives has been released?"
"It's not yet, it's also because I lived in the government for a long time in the early years, and it is inevitable that there are a few old people who are good friends, and they are the ones who sent me a letter." The county lord said.
"That's right, as long as the wind hasn't passed, you hurry up and book a family affair, don't you say that your grandmother is seventy years old, you go back and let her coax the old man, cry when she should cry, she feels embarrassed, the woman has to marry sooner or later when she is older, let her come forward to make your decision, first find a family to set the marriage, pass the limelight, and then find a way to dissolve the marriage." Lin Mei is also a bad move, but it is better than sitting still.
The county lord thinks this idea is okay, as long as the man is not a prodigal son looking for flowers and asking willows, even if he marries, it doesn't matter, anyway, sooner or later. Smelling the aroma of the vegetables, I suddenly had an appetite.
While eating, a person appeared out of nowhere, "It's so fragrant, there are delicious foods that don't even call me, so I waited in the carriage for most of the day." ”
"Shangguan Jun, how did you find here?" Kyaukyue asked with a frown.
Lin Mei was taken aback, didn't she say that King Qi had banned him for a year? How did it come out so quickly?
Shangguan Jun sat down directly with a cheeky face, and said to the maid, "Go, get a pair of dishes and chopsticks for Young Master Ben." ”
Phantom Xiang and the two looked at each other, and when they saw that the county lord didn't speak, they stood aside and refused to move.
"Yo, Young Master Ben still can't move you." After speaking, the words changed, winked at Lin Mei, and said with a smile: "Little lady of the Lin family, this is your fault, how can you be the host regardless of the guest's reason, or bother you to find a pair of dishes and chopsticks for me, you can't let me grab it directly with my hands." ”
Lin Meiwaner, "Young Master Shangguan is a distinguished guest, but he came uninvited, please bear with me if I neglect it." After saying that, he asked the guy to add another pair of dishes and chopsticks.
