Chapter 387: Conflicting Ambitions
Dad, it's not convenient to talk here, you can go back with me. ”
Lin Jingwen glanced at Qian Qianqian, his face was full of vigilance, and there was always hostility in his eyes.
"What's the inconvenience? You have something to say, you don't need to hide it. ”
Lin Yuanming put down the tea cup in his hand, he didn't have a good temperament, it could be seen that he was very dissatisfied with Lin Jingwen in his heart, such a posture was really a strict father.
"Dad, there are many eyes and ears here, our family's affairs, let's talk about it behind closed doors, don't let people see jokes in vain."
Lin Jingwen was a little helpless, he admired this father since he was a child, but Lin Yuanming hoped that he could read poetry and books, go to the school to be a teacher in the future, and pass on all his knowledge to the next generation, but he disobeyed Lin Yuanming's intentions, and has been wandering outside, and has not returned home in recent years.
So when they met suddenly, the father and son were very unnatural, and their words were very blunt, and it could be seen that they were both concerned about each other, but no one could let go of that little face.
"Boss Lin, Mr. Lin is now my brother's teacher, so no matter what happens between you, no one will see the joke here, don't worry."
Qian Qianqian explained on the side, blinking her big eyes, her face was well-behaved, her eyes were slightly narrowed, and there was always a bit of indescribable cunning in her beauty.
Lin Jingwen glanced at Qian Qianqian, he knew his current situation, the more polite Qian Qianqian was, the more dangerous he felt, so no matter what Qian Qianqian said, he couldn't listen to it.
"Dad, what happened before, I was wrong, let's get out of here first, after all, this is outside, and it's not good for our family affairs to be heard by outsiders."
Lin Jingwen knew that Lin Yuanming was stubborn, and if he wanted to calm down the matter as soon as possible and persuade Lin Yuanming away, he couldn't come hard, so Lin Jingwen lowered his head for the time being.
"Hmph, you still know that this is our family affair, you hid it from me at the beginning, ran away without saying a word, and didn't even have a letter for several years, did you have my father in your heart?"
Lin Yuanming didn't have a good airway, raised his head, and didn't look at Lin Jingwen more, such a proud expression was really the same as Lin Jingwen.
Lin Jingwen was anxious, but it was useless to be anxious, Lin Yuanming didn't listen to him, he couldn't forcibly take Lin Yuanming away, although he and Lin Yuanming were father and son, but when they were seen, they had to think about it more.
"Dad, I've had a hard time in the past few years, it's not that I don't recognize you, I know that you came to Lianzhou, so I came to you immediately, even if I beg you, you can leave here with me first."
Lin Jingwen kept giving Lin Yuanming a look, but Lin Yuanming deliberately pretended not to understand, which made Lin Jingwen very helpless.
"Boss Lin, since your father is unwilling to go with you, don't force him anymore, if you believe me, you can put this place in your own house on the spot, I won't mind."
Qian Qianqian stepped forward slowly, at first glance, she was empathetic, but in Lin Jingwen's eyes, she had other plans and ill intentions.
"Stand down, all of you." Qian Qianqian gave an order, and the maids waiting on both sides immediately retreated, and only the three of them were left in this room.
"What the hell have you been out there all these years? Why did you come to Lianzhou? ”
Lin Yuanming asked indignantly, he didn't treat Qian Qianqian as an outsider at all, in fact, Qian Qianqian didn't understand why Lin Yuanming trusted her so much, obviously there was not much intersection between them.
"I've been doing business, and I've come to Lianzhou to do business, and I guess Boss Qian also knows about it."
Lin Jingwen replied stiffly, his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes were full of warnings when he threw himself at Qian Qianqian, as if he was warning Qian Qianqian, don't demolish him at this time.
"Doing business? Our Lin family has never been a businessman in several lifetimes, what business do you do? Hurry up and get rid of those businesses of yours. ”
Lin Yuanming's face sank a little, and it could be seen that he didn't want Lin Jingwen to become a businessman.
"I don't steal or rob, but I also earn money by my own ability, why not? Do you have to make me a teacher? ”
Lin Jingwen is also young, so he is high-spirited and unruly, and like all teenagers, he is a backbone.
Qian Qianqian looked at the appearance of Lin Jingwen and Lin Yuanming's dispute, and couldn't help but think of herself, in modern times, she was so rebellious at Lin Jingwen's age, thinking that everything she did was right, so she also took a lot of detours, and now seeing Lin Jingwen again, she couldn't help but chuckle.
"What's wrong with being a teacher? Since we can't enter the office, we must find a way to serve Xiao Guo, be a teacher, and teach the next generation full of talents, which can be regarded as cultivating talents for the imperial court and being loyal to the country. ”
Lin Yuanming took it for granted, and Qian Qianqian realized that he was a teacher for this, but he really couldn't see that his ambitions were quite ambitious.
"The court is chaotic, traitors are in charge, even if we cultivate more talents, in the end it will not play a role, Dad, you have been harmed by others, and you have not been able to get fame in the examination, do you still have to be loyal to this kind of court?"
Lin Jingwen couldn't help but quibble, but because Qian Qianqian was beside him, he still tried his best to suppress it and didn't say all the words in his heart.
"No matter what, our Lin family has been scholars for generations, and when it comes to your generation, we can't break it, otherwise even if I die, I won't be able to forgive myself."
Lin Yuanming didn't listen at all, he said it categorically, the two fathers and sons were completely deadlocked, no one refused to give in, the atmosphere was extremely cold, and Qian Qianqian didn't dare to speak out.
"Mr. Lin, it's really rare that you can have such an idea, if the civil and military officials in the court can be like you, then my Xiao Guo will definitely be invincible and continue for thousands of generations."
At this moment, a low male voice came from the door, Xiao Mohan was wearing a dark robe, and walked in slowly, with his hands behind his back, green silk tied to the crown, and long eyebrows Now, he is really heroic.
"See General Xiao."
Lin Yuanming's father and son immediately bowed, Qian Qianqian walked to Xiao Mohan's side and gave Xiao Mohan a look, Xiao Mohan always knew in his heart, so there was no superfluous look on his face.
"It's all excused." Xiao Mohan lifted his thin lips lightly, and there was no slightest wave in his eyes.
Lin Yuanming's father and son stood still, they were still tense just now, but now they have eased up a lot, after all, Xiao Mohan is here, and none of them dare to be presumptuous in front of Xiao Mohan.
"The imperial court missed Mr. Lin back then, and it really missed the talent, if Mr. Lin still wants to enter the office, this general can recommend it to the emperor for you."
Xiao Mohan looked straight at Lin Yuanming, without looking at Lin Jingwen at all, his thin lips were lightly hooked, and there was a smile on his face all the time.
"No need, Lin has been teaching for half his life, and he has long lost interest in the official position of the imperial court, and he can't do it anymore, so thank you for the general's kindness."
Lin Yuanming sighed, although his tone was gentle, but he always showed a little helplessness and loneliness, so depressed should be a portrayal of the first half of his life.
"In this case, the general is not reluctant, Boss Lin, you and Mr. Lin haven't seen each other for many years, you should have a lot of thoughtful things to say, since Mr. Lin is unwilling to go with you, can you move to the General's Mansion and explain things clearly."
Xiao Mohan's face did not change, he said it without leaking, with a smile on his face, and there was a mixture of light and dark in his deep eyes, which made people unable to see it really.
Lin Jingwen was naturally unwilling, but before he could speak, Lin Yuanming rushed ahead of him and agreed, and it could be seen that Lin Yuanming trusted Xiao Mohan very much.
As a last resort, Lin Jingwen could only nod and followed Xiao Mohan to the General's Mansion, and Qian Qianqian also followed.
"General Xiao, thank you for giving me this opportunity to talk to my father, but I still want to take my father away, I hope you don't embarrass us."
Lin Jingwen has always been very wrong, and he is very resistant to Xiao Mohan, even if he is a businessman, he has not been able to hide his emotions, which makes Lin Yuanming very dissatisfied.
"General Xiao is a great general, how can you talk like that? Don't kneel down and plead guilty. ”
Lin Yuanming glared at Lin Jingwen fiercely, which made Lin Jingwen stunned for a moment, Lin Yuanming has always been high-minded, even in the face of today's emperor, he may not be so polite, and now he is humble and cautious towards Xiao Mohan, which is really strange.
"No need, it's all a trivial matter, General Ben is not a stingy person, it's just that Boss Lin seems to have some misunderstanding about General Ben."
Xiao Mohan remained silent, lifted his thin lips lightly, spoke lightly, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes were burning, making people dare not approach easily.
"Jingwen, what the hell is going on? General Xiao has made great achievements, loves the people even more, and is a Ming lord worthy of allegiance, how can you be so rude? ”
When Lin Yuanming said this, his eyes were shining, Qian Qianqian was watching from the side, and he couldn't help but smile on his face, he could eat Lin Yuanming to death, it seemed that Xiao Mohan was really powerful.
"Dad, this matter is a long story, let's go back first, don't bother General Xiao here."
Lin Jingwen was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, and he wanted to pull Lin Yuanming away immediately, but Lin Yuanming respected Xiao Mohan and even ignored his son.
"Tell me honestly, are you doing something for someone?"
Lin Yuanming stared at Lin Jingwen's eyes, and didn't dare to relax for a moment, after all, they are father and son, even if they haven't seen each other for many years, they still understand some things.
Lin Jingwen lowered his head, obviously hesitating, this is the General's Mansion, if he says it openly, he will inevitably get into trouble, but Lin Yuanming has identified Xiao Mohan, if he doesn't say it, Lin Yuanming will definitely not give up.
"It seems that my guess is right, the reason why you came to Lianzhou to do business was because you were ordered by someone, and that person must be difficult to say."
Lin Yuanming was not polite at all, he had no intention of defending Lin Jingwen's son, Qian Qianqian couldn't understand it on the side, although Lin Yuanming was dissatisfied with Lin Jingwen, but after all, it was his son, he shouldn't kill his relatives so righteously.
"Dad, I ......"
Lin Jingwen's body trembled a little, and he was about to speak, but he was blocked by Lin Yuanming's words.
"General Xiao, I want to ask you for one thing, and I ask you to agree."
Lin Yuanming looked at Xiao Mohan, as if there was something unspeakable, his face was full of helplessness, his brows were tightly locked, and he seemed to have made great determination.
"Say it." Xiao Mohan was calm and composed, gently spit out a few words, his tone was gentle, his thin lips were deep, and his eyes were a little inquiring.
