Section 47 Chapter 40 Sending Paintings
The three of them were about to rush to the main gate, but before they got out of the gate of Xile Residence, they heard the laughter of Prince Luo's son: "Old lady Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?" ”
Old Mrs. Lin stepped forward and saluted in a proper manner: "There is Lao Shizi to worry about, and the old body is quite healthy. ”
"That's good, that's good, I don't know if this son suddenly came to the door today, did you disturb it?" Prince Luo looked at Master Lin and said.
"The prince said with a smile, the prince can come to the Lin Mansion, it will simply make our mansion shine!" Master Lin smiled and stepped forward to clasp his fists and salute.
"Master Lin is too polite," as he spoke, Prince Luo suddenly saw a man in brocade robe standing next to him, and asked suspiciously: "I don't know who this prince is, but I have never seen it before." ”
"It's normal that the prince hasn't seen it, Zhijie has been to the military camp since he was a child, and he hasn't come back for five years." Master Lin introduced with a smile.
"Could it be that he is Lin Zhijie, the eldest young master of the Lin Mansion?" Prince Luo looked at Lin Zhijie with a smile on his face and asked affirmatively.
"Yes, Zhijie is seeing Prince Luo's son." Lin Zhijie clasped his fists with both hands and stepped forward to salute.
"Young Master Lin doesn't need to be like this." Prince Luo helped Lin Zhijie with a hand, and said: "Look at how old Young Master Lin is older than me, then I will be cheeky and call 'Brother Lin'!" With that, Prince Luo bent down and said.
Prince Luo's behavior made Lin Zhijie panic, so he bent lower and replied: "Zhijie really doesn't dare to be. ”
Prince Luo also knew that no matter how well he treated others, if that person accepted it gladly, it meant that he never took him seriously; If that person is honestly afraid, then his low-profile behavior will only give that person a good impression. Born in the family of the emperor, these are all things he must learn from an early age.
"Shizi, please." Master Lin saw that the two had already met, so he immediately invited the prince to sit inside. The prince sat on his right hand in the hall, and the old lady, the old man, and the eldest young master sat on the chair on the lower right hand in turn.
"I wonder what is the important matter of the sudden visit of the prince today?" After some etiquette, Master Lin got to the point.
"Actually, it's not very important, it's just that today the son of this world was listening to a book in the market, and suddenly heard such a rumor." Prince Luo looked at Master Lin and wanted to see from his face if he knew a little.
"I wonder what the rumors are?" Master Lin looked puzzled.
Prince Luo couldn't see the slightest bit from Master Lin's face, either his camouflage was profound, so he definitely needed to beware of this person in the future; Or maybe you really don't know. "There are rumors in the market that the third lady of your mansion pushed out of the sister fell into the lake, intending to murder!" Shizi looked at Master Lin with sparkling eyes.
Master Lin was stunned in disbelief, and before he could speak, Lin Zhijie, who was sitting with his hands down, immediately stood up from the chair: "What the prince said, is it true?" ”
"It's true that this son heard it with his own ears." Prince Luo looked at Lin Zhijie categorically.
"This matter has never been conclusive, don't say that my sister has not done such a thing," said and looked at Master Lin again: "Even if it has been done, why does the matter in the Lin Mansion flow outside?" The first second Lin Zhijie heard the news, he was already sure that the third aunt and the second lady had done it.
"In front of the son, Hugh is rude!" Master Lin frowned and reprimanded Lin Zhijie, and after speaking, he pondered again.
"What a good thing that is! If the old body finds out who leaked the news, she will definitely suffer a little! "This matter is related to the reputation of the entire Lin Mansion outside, if anyone does such a thing so indiscriminately, they will not be spared!
"Listening to the meaning of Brother Lin's words just now, you can already determine the person who released the news?" Prince Luo looked at Lin Zhijie and asked.
"This ......" is a matter of the Lin Mansion after all, even if it is the prince, it is not appropriate to ask about it like this.
"I don't know Brother Lin, is it because there is no evidence?" Shizi asked meaningfully.
Hearing this, Lin Zhijie's eyes suddenly lit up: "The prince of the world came today, is it to solve his doubts?" ”
"Brother Lin really knows what I mean." Prince Luo nodded, then turned his head to look at Master Lin and said: "This is a family matter of the Lin Mansion, this prince should not interfere, but he has had a few encounters with the third lady of your mansion, and when he heard about it, it was really unbelievable." So he sent the little servant to inquire, but he had no intention of getting the truth. ”
"I wonder what evidence the prince has found?" Master Lin congratulated his hand and said.
"Since Master Lin doesn't blame this son for meddling, then please ask Master Lin to summon the third lady and the second lady of your mansion Luohu, as well as her biological mother and third aunt." Prince Luo is so familiar with the ladies of the Lin Mansion, presumably this matter must be inseparable from the second miss and the third aunt, but in the end, what the second miss said is true, or what the third miss said is true. The arrival of Prince Luo's son this time will definitely solve the confusion of the Lin Mansion. Of course, there is no one happier than Lin Zhijie.
"Ah Ci, go and pass on the second lady and the third aunt. The third lady should already be on her way here. After saying that, Ah Ci bent down and retreated, heading towards Tingxue Pavilion.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Mengyu to take Apricot and Peach into the gate of Xile House. When Lian Rong went to the Sakura Pavilion, she didn't know about the arrival of Prince Luo's son, and naturally, Mengyu wouldn't know either. Mengyu entered the room, and suddenly found that the person sitting in the hall was actually the gentle Prince Luo's son, a little surprised, but what had happened in the past few days had worn her to the point that she had lost her original temperament, and then, she stepped forward to greet everyone who was seated.
"Third Miss doesn't have to be polite," after a pause, she said, "Third Miss remembers that this son still owes you a portrait?" ”
"Mengyu thought that it was just the words of the son of the world, and he didn't take it to heart." Mengyu blessed the body and replied.
"The third lady didn't take it to heart, but this son has to keep his promise! Come. The person brought by Shizi, who was standing outside the door, immediately walked up to Mengyu and presented a picture scroll with both hands.
Seeing that Mengyu took the scroll and turned around, Prince Luo said with a smile: "Third Miss, it's better to wait for the truth of the matter to be revealed before going back to the house to enjoy it." ”
Truth? Mengyu looked at Prince Luo with an inexplicable expression. Suddenly, her eyes changed as she looked at Shizi. Isn't it that Prince Luo's son came this time, not only to give her a painting, but also to help her and return her innocence? The heart that was already flat in the dream language suddenly rippled layer by layer.
Old Mrs. Lin and Old Master Lin looked at Prince Luo's prince and the third lady in a dream, and they were all puzzled. Although the former knows about the portrait, it is the same as the dream language, but it is just a casual talk, and the latter does not know everything, so he is even more confused.
Mengyu handed the scroll to Xing'er behind her, and after Xing'er took it, she carefully held it in her hands. You must know that a painting of Prince Luo's son is worth thousands of gold and silver.
At this time, the second lady and the third aunt who Master Lin instructed Ah Ci to summon finally arrived. The second lady and the third aunt wanted to get some news from Ah Ci, but they suffered from the fact that the son of Ah Ci Nalin's chief manager was the most loyal servant of Master Lin, and he couldn't get a drop of water. guessed that it might just be because of the return of the eldest young master, so Master Lin asked them to tell the incident again. After all, the master himself saw it with his own eyes, so the two of them didn't worry too much.
It was only when he entered Xile Ju and found that there was a gorgeously dressed, good-looking, and luxurious young man sitting in the hall, and he was even more puzzled. There are male guests in the house, and it stands to reason that they will not let people with the status of the second lady and the third aunt who have never kissed each other appear, but they found that Mengyu was also standing aside, and the two began to panic a little.
The subordinate standing next to Prince Luo's son shouted: "When you see Prince Luo's son, don't kneel?" ”
"The concubine didn't know that Prince Luo's son had arrived, and it was rude, so please forgive the prince." The third aunt saw that the second lady next to her was still standing, and immediately pulled her sleeve. The second lady reacted at this time, she said that the man with a smile in front of her looked very familiar, but she couldn't think of who it was, and when she heard what the person next to her said, she understood: "Mengqi asked Prince Luo for the prince's son, and the prince is auspicious." Meng Qi gave a smile that she thought was the most beautiful, you know, Prince Luo is the dream lover of every young lady to be married in Kyoto, the first time she saw me, she was smiling at herself, and suddenly, Meng Qi's face was full of shame.
