Chapter 162: Temptation
When Lin Lang took the two things he chose to ask Jia Min for credit, everyone was silent for a moment, and then the main hall remembered the words of everyone praising and complimenting Lin Lang.
Seeing his son holding Lin Ruhai's official seal in his left hand and a dagger in his right hand, Lin Ruhai's heart was flooded with monstrous waves. The official seal was put in by Hua Chong this morning, and the dagger was given to Lin Lang by King Yan as a first birthday gift, this dagger is small and delicate and the scabbard is inlaid with various colored gems. But no one thought that Lin Lang didn't even look at anything else, and went directly to this official seal and dagger! People who don't know the inside story will think that Lin Lang took these two things directly because of the instructions of the adults, but Lin Ruhai and his wife and King Yan knew that Lin Lang had never seen those two things.
These two things imply that Lin Lang will be both civil and military in the future. But only Lin Ruhai and King Yan know that when the emperor caught Zhou when he was the first child, he grabbed the jade seal with one hand and a short knife with the other. King Yan glanced at Lin Ruhai, although Lin Ruhai did not show it on his face, he could see his nervousness from his clenched hands. And the panic in Jia Min's eyes beside her couldn't hide it, even if she was smiling at those who came to congratulate her, but the smile was not up to the bottom of her eyes! It seems that both husband and wife know what is at stake.
King Yan pondered for a moment, then laughed loudly, walked over and picked up Lin Lang and said, "You kid is really obedient, this king asked you to catch this dagger, and you really caught it!" This dagger was specially made by this king, and it was used for you as a birthday gift today! Remember to put it away, don't be coaxed, it's worth the money! ”
Lin Lang glanced at King Yan ignorantly, then looked at the dagger in his hand, smiled and nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Okay...... Thank you! ”
After listening to King Yan's words, everyone originally suspected that Lin Lang had been instructed by the adults to take something, but now they all concluded that it was King Yan who taught Lin Lang to take something in advance. Lin Ruhai glanced at King Yan meaningfully, and nodded gratefully at King Yan. King Yan glanced at Lin Ruhai arrogantly, and teased Lin Lang in his arms.
Jia Min asked Lu's mother to take Lin Lang back, so she respectfully saluted King Yan and took a group of female dependents back to the backyard. The banquet began, and Lin Ruhai was busy shuttling between the tables to toast, and he didn't have the time to pay attention to King Yan. And King Yan also warned everyone in advance not to come in front of him, so no one dared to come over to toast him. King Yan sat there and poured himself a drink, and Zhen Yingjia, who had been paying attention to him, was looking at King Yan and then Lin Ruhai suspiciously.
It just so happened that Lin Ruhai came over to toast, and Zhen Yingjia asked with a smile: "The niece and son-in-law seem to have an unusual relationship with King Yan!" ”
Lin Ruhai glanced at Yan Wangdao, who was drinking: "When we were children, we used to read books together for a few years, but then the prince liked to dance and didn't like literature, so he went to the army for training, and we haven't met since then." When I was naughty, I could still get the blue eyes of the prince, but now I can't say two words, and the prince is annoyed! Haha, it seems that I am used to it in the barracks, and I really don't like the way we literati speak! ”
Zhen Yingjia thought of what King Yan said to everyone at the gate, as well as the face of Lin Ruhai who was ruthless just now, and smiled slightly and did not say anything more.
After the third round of drinking, Zhen Yingjia took the opportunity to toast King Yan, and asked as if unintentionally: "Are Lord Wang Yulin and his wife old friends?" Seeing that the prince is very special to the uncle of the Lin family. ”
King Yan raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, glanced at Zhen Yingjia, and did not hide his dislike for Zhen Yingjia, "This king and the sea still played when I was a child, and now I am too lazy to talk to him about this sour nonsense, but this king and his father-in-law are tempered, that is the king's old brother, you will be polite to them in the future, this king's old brother loves this daughter the most!" also wrote a letter to ask the king to take more care! This king is the most brotherly! Whoever bullied the beloved daughter of the king's elder brother, the king cut him! ”
Yan Wang's voice was not small, many people heard his threat, Lin Ruhai's face suddenly darkened, and he scolded Yan Wang half to death in his heart, his Lin Ruhai's woman didn't need him to come out to protect him! But Zhen Yingjia listened to King Yan's words, the stone in his heart fell, King Yan must have come here today to look at Jia Daishan's face, just looking at his dislike of Lin Ruhai, he would not have come to the Lin family, otherwise he would not have hurried on a horse at noon. As long as King Yan and Lin Ruhai are not of the same mind, then there will be no impact on their Zhen family.
Jia Min in the backyard was also pulled by Zhen Hanshi to ask about King Yan, "Min'er has seen the prince before, I heard that the prince has not accepted a concubine now, is it true?" ”
Jia Min said with a smile: "I used to be in the boudoir, and the prince has been stationed at the border, how can I have the opportunity to meet the prince?" ”
"Didn't you see it when you attended the palace banquet?" Mrs. Xu asked.
Jia Min frowned lightly, and her smile faded, "I am an unmarried girl, and I can't enter the palace without a call, even if I participate in the palace banquet, I must have the queen's will!" ”
Mrs. Xu realized her rudeness, laughed wryly, and stepped aside silently. Zhen Han asked again: "Does Min'er know if His Royal Highness King Yan has the intention of accepting a concubine, but which girl do you like?" ”
Jia Min is really disgusted with the rudeness of these people, but he is the master today, and he can't turn his face with them no matter what, not to mention that Zhen Hanshi is still Zhen Yingjia's wife, who knows if she listened to Zhen Yingjia's words to test herself.
"I really don't know this, when I was in the capital, I heard that the emperor once wanted to marry King Yan, but King Yan sternly refused, and vowed to find a person who was in love with him to marry. But the prince is in the army most of the time, and the people in the capital also use the prince's words as an excuse not to want to get married! ”
"Listening to the meaning of the prince's words, your mother's father seems to be quite familiar with the prince?" Zhen Hanshi continued to ask.
"I don't know! When I was in the boudoir, I never saw my father and the prince have a relationship. Oh! Presumably it was a friendship formed together when they fought against the Tatars in the Northeast! ”
Zhen Hanshi smiled again and asked, "I think the prince likes Lang'er very much!" Not to mention the exquisite dagger, I also gave such a precious jade pendant! I heard that the jade pendant is a relic of the old Yan King, and the Yan King never leaves him! ”
Jia Min took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm boasting, my stinky boy is the most pleasing to people, no matter who sees it, he loves it, and the gifts given are precious and abnormal!" ”
