133 The Man Behind It
The five days of the government examination passed quickly, and the results came out in a few days.
Chen Linmu didn't have any anxiety after the exam at the moment, but his face was full of joy and pride, standing in front of Chen Linxiao and Chen Xiaoshu, he didn't want to be as cautious as before, and became as arrogant as before.
I saw him say with a smug smile on his face: "Fourth brother, two days later, the third brother and I will marry Miss Bai, you must come back." ”
After that, he gave Chen Xiaoshu another look and said, "You also come back, and talk to your future third sister-in-law at that time." ”
Although Chen Linmu didn't want to admit it, Chen Xiaoshu was indeed the most decent and intelligent daughter-in-law of the Chen family.
Anyway, it is more than a hundred times stronger than the Huang family and the Li family.
Chen Lin Mu didn't want to just get married, so he threw people into his future father-in-law's house.
Chen Xiaoshu: Thank you for looking up to me, I'm really flattered.
Chen Linxiao was really angry when he heard this, my own lady is a maid in your eyes, so he said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid we won't be able to go back, I still have some things to do, and Xiao Shu also has to take care of business." ”
After Chen Linmu heard Chen Linxiao's refusal, he was obviously unhappy, in his opinion, he was all giving Chen Linxiao and them face, and he was even rejected.
"I said, Chen Linxiao, you have thought clearly, my future father-in-law is Master Bai."
Chen Linmu frowned.
Chen Linxiao seemed to see a disgusting thing and said: "I naturally know that your future father-in-law is Master Bai, but I also advise you, if you want people to know unless you don't do anything, you can succeed for a while with crooked ways, is it possible to succeed for a while, some things have been done too much, I'm afraid your father-in-law will also have an opinion on you, and don't look at everyone as fools, you are a smart person in the world." ”
Chen Linmu's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he understood that his idea had been seen through by Chen Linxiao, so he left angrily.
In fact, Chen Linmu invited Chen Linxiao and Chen Xiaoshu back to attend his engagement banquet today, in order to use the power of Chen Linxiao's side to suppress the Bai family.
After all, Master Bai is dissatisfied with him, if he doesn't want to live like a son-in-law in the future, the only one he can rely on is Chen Linxiao, the fourth brother.
When Chen Linmu left, Guan Luxin and Gao Qi came to the door.
Guan Luxin asked Chen Xiaoshu for a special pork jerky.
Chen Xiaoshu made a small amount of sweet and spicy pork jerky, only eaten at home, some time ago Guan Luxin and Gao Qi reviewed at their home, Chen Xiaoshu naturally will not be stingy, and take a lot of delicious things to them, this sweet and spicy pork jerky is one of them.
Unexpectedly, Guan Luxin fell in love as soon as she ate it, and asked Chen Xiaoshu every time she came.
If it weren't for the trouble to make and the small amount of pork jerky, he would have to take a big jar and eat it at home.
Chen Linxiao took them to the study and said, "How's the investigation?" ”
This is naturally said that a few days ago, before entering the market, someone deliberately came to calculate Guan Luxin's matter.
Guan Luxin sneered and said, "At that time, I had a little guess in my heart, and now I called someone to check, and sure enough, it was her." ”
"Who?"
Takasaki asked.
Guan Yuxin's face darkened when he heard this, and said, "Of course it's my good stepmother, Wang." ”
Chen Linxiao and Gao Qi didn't know what to say when they heard this, after all, it was difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs.
After Guan Luxin's mother died five years ago, his father Guan Ruohai remarried the daughter of the Wang family of the imperial merchant family as a successor.
It is rumored that this Mrs. Wang has a good appearance and very clever means, and after only a year or two of marriage, Guan Ruohai regarded her as a treasure in her palm, and even Guan Luxin and Guan Jingshu came to the small place of Qingniu Town, which can be said to be due to him.
And two years ago, this Mrs. Wang gave birth to a little son for Guan Ruohai, and Guan Ruohai held this little wife in the palm of her hand.
For this Mrs. Wang, the children born by the former lady are naturally a thorn in the flesh.
"And what are you going to do?"
Chen Linxiao asked.
Hearing this, Guan Luxin had a rare serious look and said: "Come and don't be rude, she calculates me like this, I naturally want to pay back." ”
Seeing that he had already made a calculation in his heart, Chen Linxiao didn't say much, just said: "If there is anything that can be used by us, just ask." ”
When Guan Luxin heard this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't be polite to you." ”
Seeing that they had finished talking about this matter, Gao Qi opened his mouth and asked, "Senior Brother Chen, did the Xiao brothers invite you to drink before the government exam?" ”
The Xiao brothers were the two who had to invite Chen Linxiao to Xianglian Garden for a drink.
Chen Linxiao nodded and said: "Exactly, but their strategy is too simple, they invited many people, and I heard that only a few people went in the end." ”
Gao Qi nodded and said, "Exactly, two of the people who went to Xianglian Garden for the banquet that night delayed the exam because they were drunk. ”
Chen Linxiao didn't know what to say about these people, he had been reading hard for years, so that on this day, you could miss this opportunity in vain because of a few words of flattery from others.
With your IQ, it's really no wonder that others are calculated.
"Do you remember what happened to Senior Brother Li Gu during the county exam?" Takasaki Road.
Guan Luxin frowned and asked, "You mean that Senior Brother Li Gu's injury is also related to the Xiao brothers." ”
Takasaki nodded and said, "That's right. My uncle has not given up the search for this period of time, and only a few days ago found out that the driver of the other carriage that collided with our carriage that day had been in contact with Xiao Lei. ”
"This doesn't make sense, we usually have no grievances with the Xiao brothers, and the results of the two of them are not good, if it is an opponent who wants to be strong in the future, then he has to eradicate most of the candidates." Guan Luxin frowned.
Chen Linxiao sneered and said, "Maybe he doesn't clear the obstacles for himself anymore." ”
Gao Qi nodded and said, "That's right, the Xiao brothers have been studying at Xiude Academy in the county seat, and it is said that the two of them have always been good friends with Zhao Huilong. ”
"Friendship? I think it's more appropriate to use embarrassment as a traitor. Guan Luxin also understood at this moment that the person behind the scenes turned out to be Zhao Huilong, and said: "Zhao Huilong is the young master of the Zhao family, he was born rich and has been smart since he was a child, how could he become good friends with a pair of students who were born poor and studied ordinarily, but they just took what they needed." ”
Chen Linxiao nodded and said: "If the person behind them is Zhao Huilong, then everything is clear, and now that I think about it, there is something strange in this matter, this Xiao brothers are from a poor background, and the consumption of Xianglian Yuan is not low, how can they have spare money to invite someone to play there." ”
Chen Xiaoshu came in at this time and said with a smile: "I don't know how do you know the fees of Xianglian Garden?" ”
