Chapter 56: Cut Her Back
Lin Mansion at this time.
After Mrs. Lin drank the medicine prescribed by Lin Jinwen for several days, the rotten sores on her body had begun to scab, and no new ones were issued, which made her feel a lot more relieved.
There was still only a faint candle flame in the house, and the old lady did not allow anyone to shine too clearly, lest anyone discover the rotten sores on her body.
The mother-in-law stood respectfully on the side of the bed, looked at the old lady lying in the bed curtain, and said in a low voice: "The eldest lady has come outside a few times, don't you really see it?" ”
"Where's the big man?" The old lady's voice is weak, one of the obedient sons died, and there was a disobedient one left, and now the grandchildren have entered the prison, and they are far away, and she has been designed to ruin her innocence, and she only feels that life is hopeless.
"The old man is still outside, and he hasn't been back for several days. A few days ago, the second son asked someone to bring a message back from prison, saying that he didn't want to stay in prison anymore, and asked you to think about it, and you are just one grandson. The mother-in-law carefully repeated the original words.
When the old lady thought of Lin Xiteng, she only sank her face: "I don't fight for myself!" ”
"But the old lady, it's going to be Chunqiu soon, if the second son comes out, maybe he can be admitted." The mother-in-law said tentatively.
The old lady turned over and stared at her coldly: "The eldest lady asked you to be a lobbyist?" ”
The mother-in-law knew that her temperament had been uncertain these days, so she immediately knelt down and admitted her mistake: "The slave and maid also see that you are depressed all day long, thinking that it is always a good thing to have a grandson Chenghuan on her knees, and the Lin family can't always decline like this, right?" ”
"I don't want the Lin family to be rich and prosperous!" The old lady gritted her teeth angrily when she thought of this, she was planning to get rid of the Sanfang family, but in the end she was pinched to death by a Lin Jinwen.
Just as I was thinking about it, someone came outside again.
"Old lady, Miss Seven asks to see you." The maid is in the outer road.
When the old lady heard Lin Jinwen's name, she felt a sudden pain in her temples, and only gritted her teeth: "Please let her in." After speaking, he looked at the mother-in-law kneeling on the side: "Let the eldest lady go back to the house first, and don't allow her to come." Tell her that Lin Jinwen already knew that her mother was her hand, and asked her to be careful. ”
The mother-in-law's face turned slightly pale: "How could Miss Seven know ......?"
The old lady snorted for a moment, but she didn't say that she had leaked her mouth and asked Lin Jinwen to know, but only scolded in a cold voice: "If you want to go, you will go." ”
"Yes." The mother-in-law didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly went down, and after a while, Lin Jinwen came.
As soon as she entered the house, the room was still stuffy and airtight, the doors and windows were closed, the February day was already a lot warmer, and the house was still smoking charcoal braziers. The smell of medicine permeated the room and made people sick.
Mother Yang followed to the side, and as soon as she entered the room, her face turned a little pale, and she didn't make a sound because of the discomfort in her stomach.
Lin Jinwen looked at the old lady who was also staring at her through the bead curtain, and said with a smile: "Grandmother's health is much better." ”
The old lady replied sullenly, waiting for her to tell her what she was here for.
Lin Jinwen didn't go around the bend, and told the matter of Zheng's Mansion in the afternoon, and hid the part of going out of the city, and only said: "I believe that my grandmother has a lot of means to deal with such things." ”
"Do you want me to go to the Zheng Mansion to make a fuss?"
"Can grandmother think of anything else but make a fuss? Zheng Ruyi, I will never allow her to marry into the Lin Mansion, as for how to do it, it depends on her grandmother's means. Lin Jinwen said lightly.
The old lady gritted her teeth slightly: "But the Zheng family is still the general of the third grade, but now my Lin family is ......."
"How is the Lin family? My brother is also a powerful general of the third grade, and the uncle is not also a fourth-grade drinking horse, I heard that the aunt's mother's family is now an official of the fourth grade, and I believe that my grandmother has this confidence. How to deal with Sanfang before, how to deal with Zheng Mansion now. Lin Jinwen smiled.
When the old lady saw her laughing, she felt more and more terrifying, she was clearly smiling like a flower, but there was no warmth in her body.
She didn't want to offend the Zheng Mansion, but looking at Lin Jinwen's appearance, it was imperative.
She paused, and then said: "I know that Zheng Ruyi and King Jing Zhao Kan have already been in the same stream, even if she ruins her reputation, she also has to rely on Lin Jincheng, although she was caught by you yesterday, but outsiders will only think that the wood is already in the boat, if the Zheng family insists on marrying her, the Lin family can't help but marry." ”
"That's why the old lady has to find a way." Lin Jinwen's smile faded, the old lady was able to do the marriage between her brother and Zheng Ruyi before, and she must have reached some kind of agreement with Zheng Fu and even Zhao Kan, and now if she wants to withdraw from the marriage, it is difficult, she must have a way!
The old lady saw that she was threatening, and her hand holding the quilt trembled slightly, but she had to respond: "I'll try ......"
When Lin Jinwen heard this, she turned around and left lightly: "Whether it can be done or not is related to the prescription for next month, grandmother has thought it through." After saying that, the people had already left the house, leaving only the old lady in the room to regret why she had not been able to kill her, but it was too late to regret it.
Lin Jinwen walked out of the courtyard, and saw a sneaky figure hiding in the corner of the courtyard wall, she just didn't see it, and when she walked away, the figure caught up, and she saw clearly that it was Mrs. Mei who she asked to stare at the old lady before.
Mrs. Mei saw that there was no one around, so she dared to come forward to salute, and said in a low voice: "Miss Seven, the slave is here to report the news to you." ”
"What's the news?" Lin Jinwen also stopped to listen to her.
"It's the old lady's news, the slave maid found out that the old lady quietly sent the medicine you gave her out." Mrs. Mei said mysteriously.
Mother Yang looked at Lin Jinwen before asking, "Where did you send it?" ”
"The slave hasn't found out yet, but it seems that the old lady plans to go out and look for the doctor again. Do you remember the Dr. Huang you invited in the house before? He seems to have returned to Beijing, and the old lady is afraid that he was invited. Mrs. Mei's eyes purred, and her face was a little disdainful: "This Huang doctor heard that he killed someone outside, and he came back after someone broke one of his legs." ”
Lin Jinwen naturally remembered this Doctor Huang, just after her mother passed away during that time, this Doctor Huang was instructed by the old lady and almost killed Bai Lan. At that time, she thought that his conspiracy did not succeed in the end, and let him go, but she didn't expect to dare to come back.
"Continue to star, there is movement, and directly hand over the news to Yang's mother." Lin Jinwen said.
Mrs. Mei nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, the slave's eyes are wide open." ”
Lin Jinwen asked Mother Yang to look at the reward, looked back at the old lady's yard, and then walked away.
As soon as she left, Mrs. Mei looked at the scattered silver that Mother Yang had rewarded just now, happily put the silver in her sleeve, and was about to continue to go back to the old lady's yard, when the figure of the eldest lady suddenly appeared in front of her.
Mrs. Mei was startled, and before she could shout, she was covered by the eldest lady's people.
The eldest lady stared at her murderously, and then ordered in a low voice: "Tie up people for me and lock them in the firewood room, dare to eat inside and outside, see if I don't pick your skin this time!" ”
Mrs. Mei hurriedly shook her head, and when the eldest lady saw this, she said coldly: "If you don't want to die, then Lin Jinwen will tell you what you want to do." ”
Where is Mrs. Mei still loyal, now she just cares about saving her life, nodding her head like pounding garlic, and when the eldest lady's people let go of their hands, they poured beans into a bamboo tube and told everything that Lin Jinwen asked her to do, including Fang Cai's words.
When the eldest lady heard this, she only looked sarcastically at the direction in which Lin Jinwen left: "She still asked you to spread the news?" ”
"Yes."
"That's a good ......" As soon as the eldest lady remembered that Lin Xiyu had changed from a noble concubine of King Jing to a prisoner, she hated Lin Jinyu to the bone, gritted her teeth and said, "I have something to pass on here." ”
Mrs. Mei looked at the killing intent on the eldest lady's face, swallowed her saliva, and nodded weakly.
The eldest lady had a cold face and asked her to take her down, and she went straight to the old lady's room.
As soon as they left, behind the rockery not far from here, Lin Jinwen silently glanced at Mother Yang.
Mother Yang had palpitations, if it weren't for the old lady's yard and finding someone staring at her back, I was afraid that she would really be pitted by this Mei Pozi in the future.
She looked at the calm Lin Jinwen in a low voice and asked, "Miss, what should we do then?" Is the old lady still credible? ”
"Zheng Ruyi has already been in the same league with the eldest lady, this time the old lady is afraid that there is some suspense here, but it doesn't matter, if she dares to do something bad, I have my own way to make her regret it." Lin Jinwen said indifferently, and then turned away.
The night is like water, and the night of February has bent the moon to hang in the night sky, and the streamer is cold, and it feels even colder when it falls on people.
Mother Yang looked at Lin Jinwen's back like this, and also felt a chill on her back, so she gritted her teeth and hurriedly followed.
Lin Jinwen hurried back to the Lin Mansion all the way, only to hear that Lin Jincheng came back early, and went to Lin Luzhi's room as soon as he came back.
"The slave maid heard that the prince went to the palace tonight, and he didn't see Miss Wang, only Wang Yushi took him in, drank tea, sat for a while, and then came out." Mo Feng made tea for her, saw her sitting on the warm couch and read the medical book, and personally lit two candles.
Lin Jinwen looked around and suddenly lit up a lot, glanced at Mo Feng gratefully, and then smiled: "At the gate of Xu's Mansion before, Zheng Ruyi made such a big fuss, and it is normal for Ru Yan not to see her brother." ”
Mo Feng smiled lightly and bowed his head.
Lin Jinwen flipped through for a while, found a prescription, and only copied it overnight before she breathed a sigh of relief.
Mo Feng looked at it for a while and said with a smile: "Miss is going to see Old Madam Luo tomorrow?" ”
Lin Jinwen nodded with a smile and said to her, "Go and tell my brother that he will send me over when he is on duty tomorrow." ”
Mo Feng didn't understand what she meant, so he nodded hurriedly and hurriedly went out.
Lin Jinwen saw that everything was arranged, and finally stopped.
When she fell asleep, Zhao Huaiyan gently flashed out of her window, and Mo Xue stood outside respectfully.
"Lord Wang."
"Today's events, this king does not want to have a next time."
Because he was carrying the light on his back, Mo Xue couldn't see his expression clearly, but he also knew that he must be indifferent, so he only lowered his head: "The slave is dead, and she will not let the young lady have an accident again." ”
Zhao Huaiyan turned his head to look at the room, as if he could see her sleeping face through the window, but after a long time, he still didn't go in.
Mo Xue saw that his face was slightly solemn, and asked, "Why didn't the prince see Miss?" ”
Zhao Huaiyan only wrinkled his brows slightly, and when he spoke again, his tone was already full of tenderness: "Take care of her." With that, he turned and left.
Seeing this, Mo Xue silently hid in the dark and began to guard Lin Jinwen.
Lin Jinwen had a good night's sleep, and Zhao Huaiyan appeared in her dream. When I woke up in the morning, I deliberately looked at the bedside, and there was no trace of him coming.
What's he doing?
Lin Jinwen felt a little missing in her heart, until Mo Feng knocked on the door and came in.
Lin Jinwen paused, looked at her and said, "Why are you, Bai Lan?" "Usually, Bai Lan is by her side.
Mo Feng also shook his head: "Miss Cai'er was also asking in the morning, as if she hadn't seen her last night." ”
Lin Jinwen didn't get up until Bai Lan was stable and would not be punctual, and hurriedly got up to go out, and Mother Yang brought hot water from outside, and when she heard this, she only said what happened last night: "The slave saw that Miss Bai Lan wanted to go out, but I didn't know that she hadn't come back yet." ”
"Did she say she was going to do something?" Lin Jinwen asked.
Mother Yang shook her head, and Mo Feng saw that Lin Jinwen was worried, and said, "If you let Mo Yue check, since she is staring at the movements in the capital, she will definitely be able to find out." ”
"Well, you let her check it out." Lin Jinwen was faintly worried in her heart, because Bai Lan likes the eldest brother, which is something that anyone can see, and yesterday there was Zheng Ruyi's incident, she was worried that this girl would be stupid.
Lin Jinwen thought that there was something to do today, so she didn't delay any longer, after a simple grooming, she changed into a carmine waist dress, with a piece of mutton fat jade pendant and a string of plain Yingluo hanging on her waist, a little powder, picked two strands of hair and hung in front of her, not too rich but not too rich and will not lose everyone's beautiful appearance, today is to see Mrs. Luo, you can't lose your courtesy.
After freshening up, Lin Jincheng also arrived, and when she opened the door, she saw people fidgeting in the flower hall. Dressed in an official uniform, half of his hair was pulled up with a jade crown, and the others were scattered behind him at will, with clear eyebrows, clear and elegant, and the heroic spirit of a military general.
"Brother." Lin Jincheng smiled lightly and called softly, Lin Jincheng turned his head to look at her, his eyes became gentle as water: "Let's go, I have prepared the carriage." ”
"Hmm." Lin Jincheng bowed her head, Lin Jincheng walked beside him, naturally raised her hand to put on the cloak for her, and smiled lightly: "It's still cold, don't catch a cold yourself." ”
"Hmm." Lin Jinwen responded with a smile, seeing that he was smiling happily, her steps seemed to become brisk.
When the two went out, Xu Zhaozhao seemed to have just gotten up from the bed, and he was in a daze and wanted to follow, Lin Jinwen couldn't, so she had to take it with her, but she was good, she didn't go to Wang's house with her, but jumped up and down to go with Lin Jincheng to patrol the city.
The road from the Lin Mansion to the Wang family was a little far, and the sky was only slightly bright when they set off, and it was already bright by then.
Mrs. Luo still lives in Wang's house, after all, Wang Ruyan is well-behaved, and the medicinal diet is stewed every day, but after eating too much medicinal food, those symptoms don't seem to have improved more.
Wang Ruyan sent the medicinal food in the morning, and on the way back, she was still thinking about why Lin Jinwen hadn't come yet, and she heard that Lin Jinwen had already arrived at the door.
"Miss, let's go to the second gate to pick up Miss Lin." Ying Tang smiled and looked at her young lady's face who had not slept well for the past few days.
Wang Ruyan nodded, but she didn't notice Yingtang quietly pursing her lips and smiling.
When she hurried to the flower hall in the front yard, she found that not only Lin Jinwen was also there, but Lin Jincheng was also there, and she was followed by a beautiful little girl.
Her eyes immediately became a little astringent, and her steps froze.
Seeing this, Yingtang was busy; "Miss, that's Lin Gongzi and Miss Xu."
When Xu Zhaozhao saw Wang Ruyan at a glance, he felt very beautiful and dignified, and immediately got up and saluted with a smile: "Zhaozhao has seen the sister of the Wang family. ”
"You don't recognize life." Lin Jinwen couldn't help but smile when she saw that she called her sister when she opened her mouth.
"I want to be beautiful and call my sister, and I want to change my name to my cousin in the future." Xu Zhaozhao assisted.
Lin Jincheng and the red-eyed Wang Ruyan suddenly blushed, looked up at each other, and hurriedly skimmed their faces.
Lin Jincheng lowered his eyes, and couldn't help but raise his eyes. Her eyes were red, as if she was holding back tears, which made people feel distressed.
"Zhaozhao, although my brother has this intention, but Miss Wang is still an innocent girl after all, you are not allowed to talk nonsense." Lin Jinwen glared at Xu Zhaozhao with a smile, and Xu Zhaozhao stuck out his tongue at her and sat down obediently.
Mrs. Wang looked at this sister, and she was also emotional. If it weren't for the fact that the Lin family has a lot of rights and wrongs now, she would be very satisfied with Lin Jincheng, she is upright and motivated, and Lin Jincheng is a good person, Ru Yan will not be wronged if she marries in the past, but it's a pity......
She sighed in her heart, but only smiled on her face: "You are close, go to the backyard to talk." ”
Lin Jincheng heard the meaning of the words, and it was not good to stay long, and he came over today just under the banner of sending his sister here, so he immediately got up: "Jincheng still has official business, so he will leave first." ”
"Hmm." Madame Wang smiled and nodded.
Wang Ruyan also lowered her eyes sideways, and when she watched Lin Jincheng pass by her, she could obviously feel that his gaze had been falling on her, and when he passed by, the faint fragrance of calligraphy and ink on her body also came, making her face flush.
It wasn't until Lin Jincheng left that she dared to raise her eyes, but found that Lin Jincheng was looking at her with burning eyes.
"Jin ......" She became more and more ashamed, but fortunately, Xu Zhaozhao was a nervous person, and when she also learned from Lin Jincheng's appearance and gave Mrs. Wang a salute, she ran out quickly.
"Miss Xu, this is ......" Wang Ruyan was puzzled, but Lin Jinwen shook her head helplessly: "Zhaozhao was born into a daughter by mistake, if it is a man, he must have a career now." She said it jokingly, and Wang Ruyan also understood that the atmosphere was lively when she laughed out loud.
After the two said goodbye to Mrs. Wang, they went directly to Mrs. Luo's courtyard.
Mrs. Luo is now almost sixty years old, she has drunk medicinal food in the past few days, and her body is still fine, but she is unable to move, and when Lin Jinwen came, she only lay on the warm couch to rest.
"Grandmother, Miss Lin, who your granddaughter told you about, is here." Wang Ruyan called softly after entering the house.
Mrs. Luo slowly opened her eyes at this time, first looked at Lin Jinwen sharply, saw that she was young with a smile, her eyes softened a little, and only smiled: "Sit down, I am inconvenient, so I won't get up to greet you." ”
"The old lady is polite, Jin Wu is a junior, how can there be a reason for elders to welcome juniors." She smiled lightly, looked at the dried fruits and strong tea on the table, and said with a light smile: "Does the old lady like to drink flower tea?" ”
"Flower tea?" The old lady felt fresh, Wang Ruyan remembered the roses sent by Lin Jinwen before, and said with a smile: "Jinwen uses sun-dried roses into tea, accompanied by a small number of fresh bud tips, and one or two pitted red dates. ”
"Really?" Mrs. Luo was a little interested when she heard her granddaughter say this.
Lin Jinwen also took the opportunity to smile and said: "But now is not the season for roses to bloom, if the old lady doesn't mind, she can let those aged lotus seeds take the lotus heart to make tea, and the lotus heart clears the fire." ”
After hearing this, Mrs. Luo looked at the dried fruits and strong tea on the table, and laughed: "I usually eat less of these snacks, but I used to stay in Bashu with the master for a long time, and I like Bashu's peppercorns, but now I feel that I have no appetite if I don't eat every day." ”
"When a woman is sick, the most important thing is to eat lightly and clear the fire, but what is the discomfort of the old lady?" Lin Jinwen saw that she was willing to speak, knowing that she had let down her guard, so she asked.
Mrs. Luo hit the nail on the head when she saw her in just a few words, knowing that she was not a vain deceit, but she also told her.
Women talk to each other, always be more open, Lin Jinwen is very rational and calm from beginning to end, and no other emotions appear, so that Mrs. Luo is also quite impressed, until the pulse is prescribed, Lin Jinwen is gentle and considerate, and has never mentioned anything about the Xu family, if Mrs. Luo is well, she will remember her good help to the Xu family.
When she came out at noon, Wang Ruyan led her away for a long time before she asked strangely: "Why didn't you seize the opportunity to talk to your grandmother about the Xu family?" I heard that the maid in Zheng's house died at the door of Xu's house yesterday, and someone participated in the Xu family last night, and my father was also involved. ”
Speaking of yesterday's events, her mood was low again.
Seeing this, Lin Jinwen looked at the pavilion behind the trees in front of her, and said with a smile: "Go sit inside?" ”
Wang Ruyan saw that she had something to say to herself, so she asked the maids to stay outside and entered the pavilion with her alone.
"Yesterday's ......" As soon as she entered the pavilion, Lin Jinwen told her how Zheng Ruyi stunned her brother yesterday from beginning to end, and then said: "The Zheng family doesn't really like my brother, they just want to use him." ”
After saying this, Wang Ruyan's eyes widened: "This ...... How is it possible, Miss Zheng, she is a girl who has not left the cabinet after all, how can she do such a thing? ”
Seeing her react like this, Lin Jinwen smiled helplessly: "I saw it with my own eyes, and now I tell you in person, the relationship between you and me, you still react like this, you can imagine what will happen once this matter gets out, my brother is afraid that she will really be forced to marry her into the door, and then the Lin family will never be at peace." ”
"No, it won't!" Wang Ruyan stood up excitedly: "Lin Gongzi is such a good person, how can he marry her......" She believes in Lin Jincheng, such a thing is indeed beyond her imagination, after all, Zheng Ruyi's previous image was good, gentle and knowledgeable, and very kind, no one would think that she deliberately framed Lin Jincheng, but Lin Jincheng said it herself, she is willing to believe it, and she also believes in Lin Jincheng's character.
"So ......" Lin Jinwen looked at her helplessly: "Now the Lin family is trying to find a way, hurry up and marry a serious girl for my brother, when the Zheng family wants to make trouble, it is impossible to wronged Zheng Ruyi to marry his brother as a concubine, but my brother has a heart, and he is unwilling to marry other people's girls." ”
Wang Ruyan remembered that Lin Jincheng came to the house yesterday, and her face was slightly hot, could it be that the person he belongs to is himself?
Lin Jinwen looked at her with a smile, and before she could speak, she suddenly heard a man's voice.
"You send all this, if Shisu is a little dissatisfied, I will not spare you."
After the man finished speaking, the little guy next to him immediately nodded and went to do it.
He was actually standing far away, and Lin Jinwen only vaguely heard some of these words, Wang Ruyan saw the person and immediately called: "Big brother." ”
Wang Hui didn't know that there was anyone in the pavilion, and when he heard her voice, he was so frightened that he immediately turned around and saw Lin Jinwen sitting on the side, and his face sank.
Wang Ruyan felt strange, how could her brother's ordinary and best temperament have such an expression, she was puzzled and asked, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?" ”
"When were you here? What did you hear? Wang Huiyuan clenched his palms nervously.
Lin Jinwen saw the abnormality, only got up and smiled: "It's so far away, but I didn't hear what Wang Gongzi was saying." ”
Wang Ruyan nodded.
When Wang Huiyuan saw it, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his face improved a lot: "I'm fine." ”
Lin Jinwen felt that he was a little hostile to him, but she didn't understand why, after all, her relationship with the Wang family could be said to be very close.
She saw that Wang Hui didn't like herself, and Wang Ruyan also listened to her words, but she didn't stay long, only smiled: "Ru Yan, I have other things to do, so I will leave first." Mrs. Luo should take medicine on time and pay attention to her diet, and I will come back after a while. ”
Wang Ruyan also sensed that something was wrong, so she could only smile and nod her and let Yingtang go to see her off in person.
When she left, she looked at Wang Huiyuan, who had a slightly gloomy face, and asked, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?" Is there a place for Jin Wu to provoke you, and even if she does, she is her daughter's family, when did you become so ungenerous? ”
Wang Huiyuan pursed his lips slightly, glanced at her and said: "She is not a good person, you stay away from her in the future, as for Lin Jincheng, it is even more indecent, you don't get too close, Daddy, I will talk about it." ”
Wang Ruyan was annoyed and pulled his sleeve: "Even if Lin Gongzi has a holiday with you, you don't have to slander people behind your back like this, big brother, this is not what Daddy taught you." ”
"I ......" Wang Hui was speechless, but he only looked at the direction Lin Jinwen left and didn't say anything.
Lin Jinwen walked out of the door of the palace and glanced at Mo Xue: "Can you hear what Wang Huiyuan said?" ”
"It seems that 'shiso' was mentioned, and he also instructed his subordinates to send something." Ink Wind Channel.
"Go and find out, who is this perilla......"
"Yes."
Lin Jin's eyes were dim, and after getting into the carriage, she only sat down, closed her eyes slightly, and began to think about what to do next.
The Imperial Palace at this time.
The queen glanced at the palace maid who was talking back and forth, and turned the Buddha bead in her hand: "The queen mother still hasn't seen that Master Huijue?" ”
"Yes. Now they are watching the delicious food and drink, and they don't let anyone else come close, and the slave and maid have also been sent back in the name of giving things. The palace maid replied.
The queen gently put down the beads twisted in her hand, but her expression was not half relaxed: "In this way, the queen mother still values this master of Huijue, have people outside ever found out the background of this Huijue?" ”
Yun Jiang shook his head and said respectfully on the side: "The person who went out to check said that Huijue's background seems to have been deliberately erased, and he can only find out what happened after he came to the capital. ”
"In this way, it is really possible that behind him is the Dingnan Hou Mansion......" The queen turned the Buddha beads again, and her expression relaxed a little.
"Niangniang, this Mrs. Dingnanhou has been very close to you recently, does it mean that Dingnanhou also intends to take refuge in you?" Yun Jiang asked on the side.
The queen's face was cold: "The Marquis of Dingnan is very cunning, and he will not easily take a stand before Huaiyan and Zhao Kan have no obvious victory, but since this Master Huijue is his person, he has now climbed to the queen mother, and this palace can give him some sweetness." With that, he got up and slowly walked inside, Yun Jiang hurriedly stepped forward to support the person, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do?" ”
The queen glanced at her: "You used to have the most ideas, but now you can't do it?" ”
"Where is the slave and maid smarter than the mother."
The queen smiled and said, "The palace heard that she is going to hold a poetry and painting meeting in a few days, so you can send something over." The palace saw that Dingnanhou had a nephew who wanted to marry the daughter of the royal historian, and went back to the palace to ask for a favor from the emperor. ”
"It's still smart." Yun Jiang flattered, and the queen just listened to it. When I entered the inner room, I said coldly: "How is Concubine De now?" ”
I heard that the emperor still didn't let her out, but he didn't punish her. She ordered people to throw away all the things we sent quietly, unless they were taken to her by her cronies, she didn't use them at all, for fear of really contracting the epidemic. Yun Jiang said.
The queen lazily leaned on the side of the warm couch, picked up the tea on one side and took a sip, before she smiled lightly: "I heard that she went to the Lin Mansion a few days ago to make a move, the Lin family's Nan Nizi is a doctor who knows medical skills?" ”
Yun Jiang bowed his head, and said with deep eyes: "It is also rumored that she has good medical skills, and Mrs. Hou's male fetus seems to have predicted it before it has even taken shape." ”
After hearing this, the queen smiled lightly: "In this case, I will invite her to the palace in a few days." ”
"Yes." Yun Jiang hurriedly responded.
Zeng Xuehai didn't know that the queen was going to the emperor to ask for grace, and recently the Zeng family had lost a lot of money because of the medicine for the epidemic, and they were so angry that they were going crazy.
"It's all to blame on the Xu family, if it weren't for them, how could we have lost so much." A small guy on the side.
Zeng Xuehai's face was very gloomy, and when he heard the words, he only gritted his teeth.
was about to go out, when I heard that Aunt Ye asked to see her.
Zeng Xuehai is not an indulgent person, he prefers power and money to women, and he doesn't bother to raise his eyelids when he hears this: "Send her back, I'm going to leave the house now." ”
"Where is Childe going?"
"Naturally, I went to Xu's house to have a look!" Zeng Xuehai snorted lightly and went out directly.
He relied on his uncle to be the Marquis of Dingnan, and he only took one or two small servants with him when he went out.
After going out and getting into the carriage, I saw a group of beggars rushing out in front of me to block the way.
He didn't have any kindness in charity, so he lifted the curtain and scolded the little guy: "What are you still doing in a daze, drive people away for me!" ”
The little guy was also very embarrassed: "Son, they are lying on the ground and refuse to leave, or give them some silver......
"Bastard, where did I get the money?" Zeng Xuehai glared at him dissatisfied, and looked at the coachman: "If they don't leave, they will roll over them directly, even if they die, it will not be the business of this son." With that, he impatiently threw down the curtain.
The coachman had little sympathy, and raised his whip and whipped it down, and the horse immediately raised his hooves and ran, and if it had not been for the fast running of the little beggar lying on the ground, the wheels of the carriage would have run over his belly.
A group of beggars were frightened, but a young man in ink clothes came out of the alley on one side, and when he saw this, he only sneered lightly and asked the others: "Is it done?" ”
One of the beggars lifted the parts that Yang had just taken from the wheels: "If he wasn't going to run me to death, I wasn't going to tear them down." ”
The sixth elder raised his eyebrows slightly, and chased the evil spirit in the direction where the carriage had just left.
Zeng Xuehai is also unlucky today, the carriage was dismantled parts, even if he fell down, at most he broke a leg, but the carriage just ran to the market, the carriage was split in an instant, a man riding a fast horse hurriedly ran over, he rolled out of the carriage from the moment, the hooves of the fast horse kicked his knees fiercely, and then trampled on his body in a panic, so that he couldn't dodge at all, and immediately blood splattered on the spot, only one breath was left.
The galloping man on horseback was covered with a black scarf, revealing only a pair of indifferent eyes. He grabbed the reins and looked at them, and then rode away.
The people of Zeng's mansion were frightened, and the surrounding people also gathered around.
The sixth man squeezed to the back of the crowd, looked at Zeng Xuehai, who was blurred in flesh and blood, frowned slightly, and quietly left the token of the Zheng Mansion on the spot, and then turned away.
When Lin Jinwen returned to Lin's house, lunch had already been prepared in the house, but Bai Lan hadn't found it yet, so she began to be a little worried.
After having lunch worriedly, Xu Boshan asked Lin Luzhi to worship her mother, she waited in the room in the afternoon, until the twilight, there was no news from Bai Lan, she knew that Bai Lan must have had an accident.
Mo Feng came back from outside, looked at Lin Jinwen, who was not even interested in embroidering a handkerchief for the prince, and said softly: "Miss, Mo Yue didn't find any news about Bai Lan, after she went out last night, it seemed that someone was picking her up, and then there was no news." ”
"There will be news." When Lin Jinwen heard this, she already knew who Bai Lan was in, she reluctantly closed her eyes and sighed softly, just as Mother Yang came back.
Mother Yang didn't know what was going on, so she just said, "Miss, something happened to the shop." ”
"What?"
"The five shopkeepers in the shop united to beat Zhu Wucai, and they were still framing him that he was greedy for money and wanted to send him to the government." Mother Yang's eyes were red, and her face was slightly red, thinking that there had been a conflict, and those shopkeepers had done it.
Lin Jinwen wrinkled her eyebrows slightly: "You said that those shopkeepers have big ladies?" ”
Mother Yang bowed her head, and Lin Jinwen remembered what happened last night, and eighty percent was what the eldest lady and Zheng Ruyi were going to do together.
She immediately said: "Mo Feng, go pick a few waiters who can fight to follow, Mother Yang will go to Xiong Mansion, find Xiong Shilin, and tell him that the old lady wants to report to the official to arrest him for rape." ”
Since the old lady is still holding on to luck, then she will completely cut off her retreat!
Mother Yang gritted her teeth, and was just about to turn her head to go out, when she heard a rumor that Mrs. Mei was at the back corner door and wanted to see Lin Jinwen.
Mother Yang looked back at Lin Jinwen hesitantly, but Lin Jinwen smiled coldly: "It's just right to come, please come in immediately." ”
"Yes."
After a short time, Mrs. Mei was brought over.
Lin Jinwen saw that she didn't dare to look at herself, and as soon as she came in, she trembled and knelt on the ground before asking; "Why did you come here during the day?"
Mrs. Mei hurriedly said: "Little ...... Miss, the slave maid found out that the old lady had made an appointment with a mysterious person to meet quietly tonight. ”
"Oh? Where is it? Lin Jinwen continued to ask.
Mrs. Mei didn't dare to look at her, let alone notice the abnormality, and said straightly: "It's in the capital, it's just a remote place in the west of the city, the slave maid can't say the name, but the slave maid can take you there." ”
Lin Jinwen smiled and asked lightly, "Can you only take me alone?" ”
Mrs. Mei was slightly startled, raised her head and saw the coldness in Lin Jin's eyes, and immediately knelt on the ground in fright, her mouth trembling and she didn't know what to say, but Lin Jin's wife just agreed.
"You go out and wait a while, I'll change my clothes and go with you." Lin Jinwen said indifferently.
Mrs. Mei wiped the sweat from her forehead, didn't dare to think about it, and nodded hurriedly: "That...... The slave is waiting for you outside. With that, I hurried out.
As soon as she left, Mo Feng said, "Miss, why don't you go with the slave in disguise as you." ”
Lin Jinwen nodded: "That's what I mean." If the eldest lady and Zheng Ruyi are waiting for me in that place, then Zheng Ruyi will definitely not be in the Zheng Mansion at this time. It's just ......" She paused, and then looked at Mo Feng solemnly: "After you pass, if Bai Lan is here, you must protect her, and the time can be dragged on for as long as you want." ”
"Miss is trying to ......"
"My father and uncle and I happened to go to the Zheng Mansion to have a look, if Zheng Ruyi is not at home at this time, it is no wonder that the Lin family is immoral." Everyone is not in the room in the middle of the night, how can such a woman who does not know the inspection be married? Even if a scoundrel like Mrs. Zheng is forcibly married to Zheng Ruyi as a concubine, the Lin family will not accept it.
Mother Yang said cautiously: "The matter of that shop ......"
"Eighty percent of the shop is to distract us, and if we don't care about it, even if we report to the official, we won't be able to die for the time being, and at most we will lose some silver." Mo Feng said immediately.
Mother Yang nodded: "Then the slave maid will go to Xiong Mansion immediately." ”
Lin Jin's head bowed, and hurriedly took Mo Feng to change her clothes.
Mo Feng was about the same size as her, although he was taller, and he wore a black cloak and veil, which was unrecognizable.
Mrs. Mei was anxiously waiting, and when she saw the people coming out, she hurriedly said, "Miss, let's go through the back door." ”
Mo Feng looked at her rolling eyes through the veil, nodded silently, and followed her out.
As soon as the others left, Lin Jinwen immediately went to the front yard and found Lin Luzhi and Xu Boshan, who were going to return to their homes after worshipping.
"Father......" She repeated Zheng Ruyi's single-minded marriage proposal yesterday before saying: "My daughter thinks that this matter should be resolved earlier." ”
"But it's getting late now......"
"And last time, General Zheng said that he missed you very much, but it was not good to come to see him, now that such a thing has happened, if you don't go again, I am afraid that Zheng Jiangjun will think that you look down on him." Lin Jinwen knew Lin Lu's affection, especially for Zheng Lai, and was even more dedicated to promotion, until the last time Zheng Lai deceived Lin Jincheng into being captured by the enemy, the relationship was estranged, but she knew that he must still have decades of brotherhood in his heart.
Hearing this, Lin Luzhi's complexion really changed a few times.
Xu Boshan only frowned slightly and looked at Lin Jinwen.
Lin Jinwen knew that her uncle knew it in his heart, but if he didn't go today, he would have lost a great opportunity.
"Uncle should also go over together, and meet Miss Zheng well, and make everything clear, and the elder brother of the province will be pointed at behind his back." Lin Jinwen only smiled.
Xu Boshan saw her so persistent, knowing that there must be a reason for it, he thought about it, and nodded.
Seeing this, Lin Luzhi also sighed: "Okay, let's clean up the ......"
"Without further ado, there is no need to clean up." Lin Jinwen immediately asked people to prepare the carriage, and then quickly went to Zheng's mansion with the two of them, if Zheng Ruyi was really not there, then she would not try to fight Lin Jincheng's idea again in her life!
