Chapter 014: Calculation

The Yan Dynasty has hundreds of civil and military officials, the civil officials are headed by Prime Minister Lin Cheng, Emperor Xicheng has no brothers, and he doesn't believe in other brothers, so Lin Zhiheng, who he single-handedly pulled, is above 10,000 people in the Yan Dynasty.

This year is not his whole birthday, but the officials who want to pat him on the back will not let go of this opportunity, as early as a month ago, the post of the birthday banquet was sent to various prefectures.

Lin Zhiheng is forty-four years old this year, which is the age when a man is in the prime of life, and an old fox like him is supposed not to give his handle to others, but everything is accidental.

There are four women who can be counted in Lin Zhiheng's backyard, in addition to his wife Wu, his favorite concubine Aunt Lian, as well as Aunt Liu, the daughter of a merchant, and Aunt Lu, the goddaughter sent by the small county town.

The four women gave birth to him except for Aunt Lu, the Wu family gave birth to two sons and two daughters, the first and fourth sons in the family, the two daughters except for the second daughter who married Zhao Xuan, and the sixth daughter was calculated by the prince.

Ten years ago, Lin Zhiheng was optimistic about Zhao Xuan, although the prince was the prince, but the queen died early, but Concubine Wen, the mother of the third prince, was the favorite concubine of Emperor Xicheng.

As Lin Zhiheng, who was familiar with Emperor Xicheng's temperament, after much consideration, he still pressed the treasure on Zhao Xuan's body.

So when the second daughter wanted to get married, he directly hinted at Zhao Xuan, originally he wanted to marry the sixth daughter Lin Wanyan to the officials under him to help Zhao Xuan more.

But four years ago, when Lin Wanyan went out to offer incense, she encountered robbers and was rescued by the prince who happened to be passing by.

Because Lin Wanyan's clothes were torn, she was carried back to the Lin Mansion by the prince, even if Lin Zhiheng was an official, he had to send Lin Wanyan into the prince's mansion as a side concubine.

So today's Lin Zhiheng's birthday banquet, not only Zhao Xuan will go, but even the prince will go.

Lin Wanying got up early in the morning to dress herself, she was already good-looking, coupled with careful cleaning, when she arrived at the main courtyard, Lin Wanjing didn't like her.

"Sister, I don't seem to have slept well, why don't you rest in the house today?"

Lin Wanjing said naturally, but Lin Wanying, who heard her words, widened her fox eyes and said directly: "You don't want me to go back to the Lin Mansion to find a reason to stand, and you actually said that I didn't sleep well." ”

Lin Wanying has always said anything in front of Lin Wanjing, such an unfounded excuse, if it were someone else, maybe she would stay with the trend, but if she didn't stay, she wouldn't be so straightforward.

But Lin Wanying is Lin Wanying in the end.

Lin Wanjing was also uncomfortable by Lin Wanying's straightforward chest, "Lin Wanying, this is the Three Princes' Mansion!" ”

"I know."

Lin Wanying guessed that Lin Wanjing was reminding her that this was the Three Princes' Mansion, and she Lin Wanjing was the hostess of this backyard, so she took the initiative to back down.

But she didn't want to!

"Ye said a month ago that he would take me back today, so ......" Speaking of this, Lin Wanying paused, looked at the purple corner of the clothes not far away, and continued: "So I listened to Ye, Ye said to take me to Lin Mansion, I naturally want to go." ”

"You!"

Lin Wanjing was so angry by Lin Wanying's attitude that she wanted to say something, but she was pulled by Yuchun, who saw Zhao Xuan.

Lin Wanjing reacted quickly, and was pulled by Yuchun, and Yu Guang also saw Zhao Xuan coming here, and immediately shut up.

Zhao Xuan has actually been here for a while, Lin Wanying spoke in a loud voice, and she deliberately angered Lin Wanjing later, so in addition to what Lin Wanjing said at the beginning, he heard the conversation between the two people later.

But even if Zhao Xuan didn't hear it at first, he could easily guess what Lin Wanjing said.

Zhao Xuan arrived in front of the two of them, and did not speak, first glanced at Lin Wanjing indifferently, and then looked at Lin Wanying with doting eyes.

Lin Wanying knew that he was not angry when Zhao Xuan saw him like this, and after throwing a flattering look at Zhao Xuan in front of Lin Wanjing, he obediently stood and waited to leave the house.

Zhao Xuan, who was flattered by Lin Wanying, glanced at Lin Wanying helplessly, and then said, "It's not too early, let's go." After speaking, he didn't wait for Lin Wanjing, and walked out directly with Lin Wanying's slender waist, until he reached the second gate and saw two carriages, so he advised: "You take your maidservant to sit in the carriage behind, good." ”

Lin Wanying knew that Zhao Xuan was afraid that she would be unhappy, so she told her like this, "Don't worry, outside, the concubine will not lose face for you." ”

Seeing the little girl's serious appearance, Zhao Xuan could only nod and wanted to say something, but Lin Wanjing also arrived with the maidservant, so he could only shut up, looked at Tourmaline and Hongwen and said, "Serve your wife well." ”

Tourmaline and Hongwen should naturally 'yes', that is, Lin Wanying, and did not continue to provoke Lin Wanjing at this time, but took Tourmaline and Hongwen directly to the carriage behind.

Seeing that Lin Wanying went to take the Qingbu carriage, and she was going to take the carriage of the princess with grades, Lin Wanjing, who was still in a panic just now, suddenly stopped being angry.

As long as she is still a wife, when the three princes are crowned kings in the future, she will be the princess!

The more she thought about it, the more stable Lin Wanjing's mood became, and when the carriage started to drive, she had already thought of finding a way to let Lin Wanying pass away quietly after having a son in the future.

Zhao Xuan didn't know that Lin Wanjing could think of so many things in a carriage, so he didn't wait for her, he got into the carriage and sat down, not giving Lin Wanjing a look at at all.

Lin Wanjing doesn't care about this, today is her father's birthday, and she also has a lot to discuss with her mother, especially for Lin Wanying, she wants her mother to give her an idea, so she has to go back to Lin Mansion quickly.

At this time, the Lin Mansion was not so peaceful.

For Lin Zhiheng's birthday banquet, the Lin Mansion had already started to get busy, and the first two days were the busiest time, because of the preparation for today's birthday banquet, everyone in the Lin Mansion had a lot of things.

When people are busy, it is easy to ignore some things.

In this way, it is easy to give people who have a heart the opportunity to calculate people.

The accident was Wu's grandson, a six-year-old and a three-year-old, who ran to the lotus pond this morning when the subordinates were not paying attention and fell into the lotus pond.

The lotus pond in the early morning at the end of May was not cold, but the two children were still young, and when they learned that the two grandchildren fell into the lotus pond together, Wu almost fell down in front of him.

Wu's eldest daughter-in-law is the daughter of the Yao family, the general of Xianzhenguo, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and the two children she gave birth to are in good health, but the two children are still scared.

The guests in the front yard came to the door one after another, but there was such a big thing in the backyard, and after Wu stabilized his emotions, he directly asked Yao to find out what was going on.

"Brother Cheng, you go and investigate, this matter is definitely not an accident, I want to know, who is so bold that he dares to make a move on my grandson!"

The Wu family also fought in the back house, and she also used this method of pushing people into the lake, so she didn't think it was an accident at first.

Yao is also very angry, she married into the Lin family because her mother and mother-in-law who died early were handkerchiefs, and now her mother's family is the son of her stepmother, and she has no half-brother, and she gave birth to two grandchildren to the Lin family, and in the case that her husband does not know how to be motivated, she can only rely on two sons.

This time, the two sons had an accident together, no matter which of the last two sons had an accident, it was all in her heart.

"Don't worry, mother, I will definitely check this matter!"

Yao has been married to the Lin family for eight years and has been taught by Wu for eight years, and she thinks that she will definitely be able to find out who did it.

Seeing Yao's affirmative attitude, Wu cleaned up and went to the second gate of the front yard to welcome the female guests.

Although the Lin Mansion covered up the news quickly, this matter was still noticed by some guests who came early, because of the hindrance of Prime Minister Lin's face, no one mentioned this matter today.

In the Lotus Courtyard, Aunt Lian also received the news at the beginning, but she didn't have the heart to pay attention to these things today.

"Are all the snacks that the Seventh Girl likes to eat ready?"

Mo Lian looked at herself in the bronze mirror and nodded with satisfaction, she didn't need her to come forward to entertain female guests today, but Lin Zhiheng gave her face last night and rested in her courtyard, and before leaving this morning, she specially told her that Sister Ying would come back, and asked her to wait for her daughter to come in the courtyard.

"Aunt Hui, everything is ready, and the seventh girl's house has been cleaned up again, and it is still the ornament before the girl goes out."

Mo Lian was very satisfied with the reply of the mother-in-law beside her, and she was just about to say a few more words when she heard the voice of her little daughter outside the house.

"But Sister Tao is here?"

As soon as Mo Lian's words fell, Lin Wantao opened the bead curtain and walked into the inner room.

"Auntie, why hasn't my sister come back yet?"

Lin Wantao walked up to Mo Lian as she spoke, pulling her arm and shaking it around.

Mo Lian was coquetted by her youngest daughter, and immediately felt that her heart was about to melt, "Soon, the morning is early today, and your father also said that your sister will definitely come back." After speaking, Mo Lian took a closer look at her little daughter, "Your brother-in-law may also come later, you have to be well-behaved, don't lose face to your sister." ”

"You know, you have to be obedient and don't cause trouble."

As soon as Lin Wantao finished speaking, Lin Weiqing's excited voice sounded outside the house, "Auntie, Sister Tao, my sister is here, and she has already arrived at the second gate." ”

As soon as Lin Weiqing finished speaking, the mother and daughter in the house immediately walked out, Mo Lian walked to the door, looked at her youngest son and asked uncertainly, "Is your sister really here?" ”

Lin Weiqing nodded affirmatively, wanting to speak, but he didn't know what words to use to express his mood at the moment.

After such a delay, Lin Wanying had already taken Tourmaline and Hongwen to the outside of the Lotus Courtyard.

"Auntie!"

Lin Wanying saw her aunt and younger siblings in the courtyard from a distance, she waved away the tourmaline holding her, and after calling 'Auntie' in surprise, she immediately rushed towards Mo Lian.

Waiting to hug her aunt and smell the familiar fragrance of green lotus on her aunt's body, Lin Wanying raised her head with slightly red eyes, "Auntie, Sister Sakura is back." ”

"Sister, sister."

Lin Wantao and Lin Weiqing saw that their sister was only holding their aunt, and they were immediately unhappy, so they called their sister when they came up.

Mo Lian and Lin Wanying, who were originally sad, were so troubled by the two of them that they put away their tears.

"Have you two been good lately?"
