Chapter 418: Planning for the Future
Needless to say, Dongfang Yi also understands the latter words, otherwise he can only fall into the whirlpool of power between Zhao Wenlu and Zhao Wenluo, and there is no way to get out.
If you choose the right one, everyone is happy, and if you choose the wrong one, you will all play together, and there will not be even a single corpse left, which is the most deadly fact.
"Jin'er, I will protect this family and protect you, don't worry, even if I risk my life, I will ......"
Dongfang Yi only felt a softness on his lips, and Nalan Jin's fingers blocked his lips: "Don't talk nonsense, you have to be good, Qi'er and I want you to hear it well?" ”
"Hmm......" Dongfang Yi hugged her shoulders and smiled like a child.
After making this decision, the two of them were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground, so they naturally couldn't take care of Lin Dacheng's side, and also gave Lin Dacheng a chance to breathe.
Just when Dongfang Yi and Nalan Jin were busy working up and down, trying to find a way to find an official position in the court, Lin Dacheng found Dongfang Qi here.
When he came to Dongfang Qi Courtyard, Lin Dacheng did not have an empty hand in his hand, but bought a lot of things that children like to play.
Dongfang Qi was practicing calligraphy, and when he heard that Lin Dacheng was coming, he put down the brush, and saw Lin Dacheng buying a bunch of things in large bags.
"Take it apart and take a look."
Lin Dacheng motioned for Dongfang Qi to open it, but he was not polite, he opened it himself, and found that it was full of things that children like to play with, rattles and rock sugar gourds and the like.
"All for Qi'er?" Dongfang Qi picked up a rattle and shook it with interest, but a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes, in fact, he didn't like these things very much.
It's better to give him some paper, he can continue to practice calligraphy or something, what's the use of giving him these things?
But thinking of what Nalan Jin taught, Dongfang Qi didn't put his disgust obviously, but took out each one and looked at it, and played it two or three times.
Lin Dacheng thought that Dongfang Qi was really bought by him, and he was relieved, but he was worried that he couldn't hold back his young age, and he was asked by Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi to leak his bottom line.
If they know they're gambling again, they're really done.
"Qi'er, uncle, please ask you something."
Lin Dacheng said cautiously, treating Dongfang Qi as if he were a treasure, Dongfang Qi shifted his gaze from these things he was playing, raised his head and asked suspiciously, "Uncle is there anything I need to ask Qi'er?" ”
"Qi'er, look, does your uncle treat you very well on weekdays, so do you want to lend a helping hand when your uncle is in trouble?"
Lin Dacheng rolled his eyebrows, and said to him like a child, Dongfang Qi did not answer, but looked at him, waiting for his next step.
"Uncle hopes that you can tell your father and mother about your uncle's gambling, okay?" Lin Dacheng said to him almost in a coaxing tone.
"But my mother said that I can't lie, is my uncle going to teach me to lie?"
Dongfang Qi said very naively, seemingly ignorant.
Lin Dacheng continued to say step by step: "It's not a lie, your father and mother have been so busy recently, uncle just doesn't want to bother your father, and you don't want your father and mother to be so tired, do you?" ”
"But as long as my uncle doesn't go, isn't it?"
Dongfang Qicai didn't eat this, Lin Dacheng wanted to coax Dongfang Qi with words, but he instead stunned Lin Dacheng, but it was only for a moment, and Lin Dacheng reacted again.
"Anyway, you just have to say yes."
"Okay, Uncle Qi'er will keep it a secret."
Dongfang Qi blinked, as if he agreed helplessly, Lin Dacheng breathed a sigh of relief, since he had achieved the desired effect, Lin Dacheng didn't want to stay any longer.
"Then it's settled, it's a secret between uncle and you."
Dongfang Qi had no choice but to respond again, Lin Dacheng was worried that it would not be good to annoy him, so he reminded him again to keep it secret and left.
"I can't tell my parents, but I didn't say I can't tell others." Dongfang Qi looked at Lin Dacheng's figure and smiled slyly.
After putting away the paper he had written, he trotted to Lin's yard, and when he came, Lin was chatting with Xiaocui, covering his mouth and chuckling from time to time.
"Grandma, Qi'er has come to see you."
Dongfang Qi smiled sweetly at Lin, and Lin also liked Dongfang Qi sticking to himself, and he was happy in his heart.
"Qi'er is not practicing calligraphy today?" Lin rubbed the top of his hair, and Dongfang Qi said like a little adult: "You can't rub Qi'er's hair casually, it won't grow tall." ”
"Okay, good, don't touch, don't touch." Lin smiled lovingly.
"Grandma, this is the rattle that my uncle gave me, and there are so many things."
Dongfang Qi took several things that Lin Dacheng bought for himself like a treasure, looked at Lin's slightly puzzled eyes and continued: "Uncle has been doing well recently, when I went out with Qi'er before, I didn't have much silver, but now I can buy so many things for Qi'er." ”
Dongfang Qi's original intention in saying these words was to remind Lin Dacheng that he had a lot of money recently, and it was very likely that he would go to gamble.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that the Lin family had given Lin Dacheng silver, so she thought that these things were bought with her silver, and she really missed the so-called "truth".
"It's a good thing that your uncle prodigal son has turned back."
When Lin said this, Dongfang Qi knew that the hint would not work, but it would not work out if Lin Dacheng continued to gamble.
There was a tangled look on his little face, and he finally chose not to say it.
Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi didn't know what was going on here, Dongfang Yi took Nalan Jin to a large mansion, handed the porter an invitation letter before being invited in.
"Uncle, this is a little gift from my little nephew, please accept it."
Dongfang Yi generously asked the little maid to hand over the selected gift, and Master Li smiled and complimented a few words: "Where is it, the nephew is really the dragon and phoenix among people, presumably this is your lady, right?" ”
"I have admired my uncle's name for a long time." Nalan Jin stood beside Dongfang Yi without humility or arrogance, the two of them were like golden boys and girls, they were really a match made in heaven.
After a few compliments, the two got to the point.
"This time, the little nephew is here because he needs his uncle's help."
Dongfang Yi and Nalan Jin glanced at each other, Dongfang Yi took the lead in saying, Master Li raised his eyebrows: "The nephew and nephew and daughter-in-law are now making the best use of the family industry, could it be that there is anyone who is not long-sighted and dares to provoke the nephew and nephew?" ”
Nalan Jin secretly scolded the "old fox", but he also had to smile and said: "Uncle praised it falsely, now the form in the court is very clear to the uncle, we don't want to mix in or get a piece of the pie or anything, we just want to keep the existing foundation." ”
Nalan Jin didn't beat around the bush anymore, she and Dongfang Yi had already found other people who had a relationship, and they were all rejected or rejected without exception, and Master Li was the last person they were looking for.
"In that case, I'll help dredge it, but it depends on luck whether it succeeds."
Lord Li was willing to help, and Dongfang Yi and Nalan Jin were naturally grateful: "Then it's bothering Lord Li, no matter whether the thing is successful or not, I will be grateful." ”
The next day, Dongfang Yi received a holy decree and was canonized to an official position, which was known to the whole house, and Zhao Wenluo and Zhao Wenlu had a lot of people, so they naturally received the news.
Zhao Wenluo's side had already "fallen out" with Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi on the surface, so he was naturally wary of Dongfang Yi's every move, worried that he would fight back.
Zhao Wenluo was unlucky, and the happiest was the third prince Zhao Wenlu, who sent an invitation to Dongfang Yi on the first day before he took office, inviting him to the banquet.
Nominally, it was to go to the banquet, but in fact it was to win over, why Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi knew it, but they didn't take the lead in responding and planned to wait and see.
Dongfang Qi was finally allowed to go out, although he was followed by a few small people, but he was also very happy, after all, Dongfang Qi was bored and panicked after staying in the house for the past few days.
In addition to practicing calligraphy and reading, he is about to grow grass.
It was also after begging Nalan Jin for a while that she agreed to Dongfang Qi to come out, but she wanted to take the family members of the mansion with her.
Coincidentally, it is also a coincidence, Peony and Dongfang Qi are like a kind of fate, since they met again, this time Peony came to inquire about the situation, but I really didn't expect to bump into Dongfang Qi and walked out of the house.
"Little master, should we go over there to play?"
It was the servants in the mansion who spoke, and when Peony heard him call Young Master Dongfang Qi, he immediately guessed something, except for Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi, there was only one person left who had such treatment in the mansion, and that was Dongfang Qi, the child of the two.
With a lot of thoughts, Peony looked at Dongfang Qidong and looked at Xi, and her eyes were about to burst into anger, she was very angry at the moment, so angry that she almost lost her mind.
"Peony girl......" said the piano girl with some fear.
Hearing the voice of the piano girl, Peony came back to her senses.
"Let's go and see."
Peony suppressed her anger, squeezed out a gentle smile, and walked in the direction of Dongfang Qi: "Little brother, it's really a coincidence." ”
A stranger approached Dongfang Qi, and the little guy around Dongfang Qi immediately stepped forward to protect him behind him: "Who are you?" ”
"Sister, why are you here?" When Dongfang Qi saw the person in front of him, he asked strangely, and said to the little girl: "This is the sister you know, don't scare your sister." ”
"It's okay, it's also that I didn't pay attention to it myself, so they misunderstood."
Peony was gentle and didn't like words, even her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, but Dongfang Qi muttered in his heart, something was wrong with this strange sister.
"Sister, I want to help my mother buy something, so I'll leave first."
Dongfang Qi didn't want to go around in circles with her, he was about to leave with someone, how could Peony let him slip away from his eyes easily.
"Since it's fate to meet, I just want to buy something, so let's go over together."
Peony proposed, thinking that Dongfang Qi was very deceiving, but unexpectedly he shook his head and said: "Sister is not good, my mother said that you can't go with strangers, and I won't be separated if I have so many people with me." ”
Although he didn't know what Peony's purpose was, Dongfang Qi still believed in his instincts and thought that Peony had bad intentions and directly rejected her invitation.
