"So, do you want me to give you a few people?" Wang Shishi saw that she already had an idea, so she could only help.

"No, you protect yourself, you and Lord Chen are also my weakness, I just have a light breeze and light clouds." Hua Manxi patted her on the shoulder, and after the two said goodbye, Chen Xiuli helped her into the carriage.

Wang Shishi's carriage was very large, the two sat opposite each other, Chen Xiuli didn't dare to look at Hua Manxi's eyes, he could only pretend to look out the window, fortunately, it was dark, and Hua Manxi couldn't see the strange appearance on his face clearly.

"Brother Chen, tell me about the situation of Mrs. Lin, as well as the situation of the Lin Mansion, and tell me about it." Hua Manxi opened his voice.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, winning all battles, since she wants to enter the Lin Mansion, she can't be blacked out and don't know anything.

Chen Xiuli was embarrassed, it was rare to have a topic to divert the guilt in his heart, and he opened his mouth in begging, and said slowly: "That's the case, Wei Guogong, named Lin Zhicheng, his ancestor was Lin Cong who followed the first emperor to fight the country, and was named the Duke of Weiguo, in this generation, because the Duke of Wei Guo is a single transmission, so there is no son to inherit his father's business, to earn military merits, and to take the official career, Wei Guogong is now serving as the official of the court, is the left arm and right arm of His Majesty, and is deeply favored, and the first Huguo Gong withdrew from the court and opened the Lu He Academy, many new ministers in the court are his disciples, besides, the Lu family is a scholarly family, and there is a reputation of being a scholar and a brother in the same court. Today's Protector is the eldest brother of the Lin family's housemother, and the most promising grandchild of the Lu family, Lu Xingqi, who once won the champion, now holds an important position in the city defense battalion under the jurisdiction of the Zhenguo Gong, and His Majesty intends to let him divide power. ”

"The prince of Zhenguo defended the frontier and made great contributions, and now he is seriously injured, why does Your Majesty want to divide power? Are you afraid that they will be high? Hua Manxi asked in a low voice.

"Zhenguo Gong not only has the military power to garrison the border, the Imperial Forest Army in Kyoto, the city defense battalion, the Shenji battalion and other military power are in his hands, especially the city defense battalion, only obey the dispatch of the Zhenguo Gong, even Your Majesty, and you can't move, Your Majesty naturally taboos him, and the Zhenguo Gong has a strong temperament, His Majesty has hinted many times, he is unwilling to hand over the military power, this Zhenguo Gong has made a great contribution, should be rewarded, but His Majesty is not light, only give him a Zhenguo Hou name, when the Zhenguo Gong goes, he also has to inherit the glory of the Zhenguo Gong, This means that there are no rewards. Chen Xiuli sighed.

"So, what you mean is that although the Zhenguo Gong is noble, he is not emperor-minded, and His Majesty also plans to cultivate the Lu family to share power with him, so the Lin family is such a sandwich cake, and Mrs. Lin will never let her daughter marry it." Hua Manxi heard the doorway and concluded.

Chen Xiuli nodded approvingly.

"In this way, my relatives must have decided that the interests of the two major families are involved, and they will definitely not let go of this opportunity." Hua Manxi's face was full of sorrow and said in a low voice.

"Zhenguo Hou has great military achievements, and he is known as the god of war in the frontier, and he is not a bad person." Chen Xiuli could only comfort like this.

In fact, that person is not only a bad person, but also a hero, and still yours - sweetheart.

Hua Manxi didn't speak again, the Lin Mansion arrived soon, for the sake of her reputation, Chen Xiuli should not get out of the car to see her off, she stepped forward with a light breeze and light clouds, and knocked on the door of the Lin Mansion.

"My name is Hua Manxi, let your wife come to see me." Hua Manxi said coldly to the gatehouse.

Perhaps the people of the Lin Mansion had already instructed, and politely said to Hua Manxi: "Okay, please wait a moment." ”

When Hua Manxi was waiting, he motioned to Light Cloud and Light Breeze to explore the surrounding terrain without a trace, but Light Breeze and Light Cloud both shook their heads at her, which meant that Hua Manxi also understood, saying that there were secret guards guarding around the Lin Mansion, and they could not act rashly.

Hua Manxi's heart was half cold, the power and persecution of this Lin Mansion were more arrogant than she imagined, no wonder the son of the Lin Mansion dared to do something to force Liang to be a concubine at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

She didn't have the bottom in her heart, but her mother and uncle were trapped in the Lin Mansion, even if it was the Longtan Tiger's Den, she had to break through.

But after a cup of tea, someone came out to greet her, a well-dressed person, who thought to be Mrs. Lin's henchman.

She looked at Hua Manxi without a trace, and saw that her face was really a little similar to Grandpa Guo, so she immediately put up a smile and said falsely: "This is the eldest girl of our family?" It's like I'm looking for you, Grandpa Guo and Mrs. Guo are waiting inside, so hurry home. ”

Hua Manxi didn't speak, just nodded at her, walked directly past her, and walked ahead.

Although I haven't been to the Lin Mansion, there are rules for how to distribute the houses of the people in Kyoto, the main courtyard is generally in the middle, the left side is the boy's yard, the right side is the girl's yard, and the back wing room lives in the people who do rough work.

Therefore, Hua Manxi didn't need to lead the way, and went straight to the main courtyard.

From a distance, she saw a middle-aged man in a blue and yellow coat drinking tea absentmindedly, presumably it was Wei Guogong.

And beside Wei Guogong, there is also a woman wearing a red and apricot yellow skirt, although she is not young, but she is well-maintained, and her face is still in her early twenties, presumably it is Mrs. Lin.

And there are a few girls among them, Lin Fengxuan Hua Manxi is acquainted, she has caused trouble to herself three or four times, I can't imagine that it is really a bad fate, but after sweeping around, I didn't see the son-in-law who forced Liang to be a concubine, I heard that it was called Lin Yuheng.

Hua Manxi walked over unhurriedly, and when Wei Guogong saw that she was beautiful, slender, and elegant and calm, she didn't look like the rural village girl she imagined at all, so she was pleasantly surprised, and stepped forward and said: "This is Manxi, I've grown so big, I'm your father!" ”

When Lin Fengxuan saw Hua Manxi, her face suddenly collapsed, and she screamed: "Why are you!" You're my country sister? ”

Hua Manxi glanced at her without being salty, and said casually: "I've seen Duke Wei, Duchess Wei, and Miss Lin." ”

"Ouch, what else is your name Wei Guogong, call Dad, I'm your father, look at it, you really look like me, these children, you look the most like me." Lin Zhicheng was a little genuinely happy, after all, having another child was not a bad thing, and it could also solve his urgent need.

"Dad, you're not mistaken, are you? Is she really my sister? She's a cook! If it were to let outsiders know that there was a girl who was a cook in our Weiguo Mansion, what a shame it would be! Lin Fengxuan stomped her feet, thinking of the small gaps between herself and Hua Manxi, and felt unhappy.

"Xuan'er! You shut up! What's wrong with cooking! Your sister is now a Golden Knife Chef! You don't have that either! Mrs. Lin reprimanded coldly, then took a step forward, took off two bracelets from her hands, stuffed them into Hua Manxi's hands, and said softly, "Child, you have suffered, this is a gift from your mother, your sister has been spoiled since she was a child, and she has no door to speak, don't take it to heart." ”

Hua Manxi didn't reach out to take her things, and said calmly: "Madame's words are serious, what Miss Lin said is really good, I am just a cook, where do I get the blessing to call Miss Lin sisters, if you want to call Mrs. Lin a mother, it will be even more panicked." Today's Dengfu, only for two things, my family is from the countryside, I don't understand the rules of Kyoto, lest I disturb the nobles in the house, I came to pick them up, but I Hua Manxi has been with my mother's surname since I was a child, and I was also raised by my uncle's family, so I don't plan to recognize any father, please ask the Duke and the Duchess of the State to complete. ”

Hua Manxi was clearly organized, her words were cold, and her face was indifferent, but as soon as she said this, it made Wei Guogong's face stiffen.

He couldn't think of it anyway, a cook in the countryside actually rejected this earth-shattering wealth and power, and didn't recognize him as his own father!

"What! You're not happy to recognize us as a family? You're so big-faced, you think you're a great chef! I don't even recognize my father, your mother really taught a good daughter! Lin Fengxuan felt even more faceless, and a little angry!

She can count on letting Hua Manxi replace herself to marry the town of Guohou, if she doesn't admit this family business, then in March next year, the one who marries the town of the country will not be herself!

"The little chef is not as blessed as Miss Lin, I have parents to discipline me, I have no father since I was a child, my mother has been working outside for a long time in order to make a living, and I grew up farming with my uncle and my aunt's mother, I really don't know a lot of truths, so I don't dare to disturb your house at will, please release my uncle and mother-in-law and others, and I will take them home." Hua Manxi's face did not move, and his tone became more and more cold.

"Ouch, what are you talking about, but over the years, it is true that we have wronged you and your mother. No, didn't I bring you all back? Your mother and uncle are settled in the west courtyard, eating and drinking and waiting, I know you blame us, and I can't accept it for a while, but the situation at that time is not something that you can figure out as a child, you just blame your father again, you can't even give your father a chance to make up for it, right? Mrs. Lin was clever and inadvertently bumped into Wei Guogong.

Wei Guogong also reacted, and followed her words and said: "Yes, child, I know that you two blame me, it's all my fault, you just give me a chance to make up for it, right?" ”

Hua Manxi sneered in his heart, these nobles are usually much better than the masters in the palace, and now they are begging themselves so quietly, it seems that they are really afraid of the relationship with the prince of Zhenguo.
