Chapter 38 The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada

Lin Zisu thought that he had heard it wrong for a while, smiled, and looked at Huijue's voice a little cold: "Master, you can see clearly, I am Fourth Miss Lin Zisu, not Seventh Miss Lin Jinwen." ”

Zhao Kan also stood behind her, as if supporting his waist.

Hui Jue is very sober-minded, and helped the second lady, the people in Yunshui will not only not let go of their families, but also make their reputations as good as possible, since he can't do the best of both worlds, he can only weigh the lesser of the two, even if he offends the Lin Mansion and the third prince this time, it's a big deal to roll up and leave.

He nodded and pointed to the compass in his hand: "Tiansha Lone Star, the people who don't restrain their loved ones, but the people outside their relatives are all mutually restrained." ”

"This ......," Mrs. Dingnanhou hurriedly covered her stomach that had not yet moved, and took a few steps back.

Zhao Kan frowned slightly, Lin Jinwen looked at Lin Zisu who was so angry that her eyes were wide open, and said lightly: "Jin Yan doesn't believe in these punishments, but if the fourth sister wants to twist her hair and leave with the third prince to be a sister-in-law, it is not easy for Jinwen to be reluctant......"

Lin Zisu looked at Huijue, who did not change his words, gritted his teeth, and looked at the second lady in a little panic, but Lin Xiyu took the opportunity to jump out and pointed at her: "Fourth sister, didn't you want to get rid of the criminals in the mansion before, why is it your turn now, but you refuse to leave?" is so hypocritical, it's really not like the fairy-like Lin Shisu that others think. Isn't it that those well-behaved and sensible people in the past are all pretending? If so, then you are truly a terrible hypocrisy. ”

Lin Zisu's face turned red, and her eyes were misty, and I saw that the pity made others hesitate.

The old patriarch was still a tendon here, struggling to get up, and shouted: "You are all colluding, this evil star is Lin Jinwen, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, you hurry up and arrest her, don't let her harm people here!" ”

Lin Xiyu snorted lightly, and regardless of the injury on his back, he took the handkerchief of the mother-in-law on the side and gagged his mouth: "I think it's clear who you colluded with to frame the seventh sister." Today's series of incidents, if I report to the government and let the government investigate, I don't believe that I can't find any clues. After she said this, she admired her cleverness, and hurriedly turned her head to look at the personal maid: "Go and report to the official......"

"Okay, these are just misunderstandings, how can the ugliness of the family be publicized." The second lady hurriedly stepped forward and said softly: "Xiyu, you are not yet married, if you ask someone to gossip, how will you marry in the future?" ”

When Lin Xiyu heard this, she swallowed the unfinished words raw, she was quite concerned about this matter, looked at Zhao Kan, who had helped her in the Nine Emperors' Mansion that day, and bit her lip slightly and looked at her timidly: "Xiyu is just helping the seventh sister, and the third prince can understand, right?" ”

Zhao Kan looked at her secret send-off Qiubo, but all the afterglow fell on Lin Jinwen, who was standing coldly on the side. Her eyes were red as if she had cried, her face was cold but she didn't twist at all, this appearance was even more distressing, but if she didn't destroy her today, it would be impossible to get her!

He swept his eyes coldly, and said coldly: "Dare to come to the Lin Mansion to talk nonsense, what kind of crime do you know!" ”

Hui Jue didn't expect him to point the finger at himself, but he has not been in vain over the years, and immediately said seriously: "The third prince, how dare the poor monk talk nonsense, if His Royal Highness doesn't believe it, you can go and check the birthday of the fourth lady, it was born on April 4, which is extremely cold, and her family is four, which is really unlucky." ”

"How do you know my birthday!" Lin Zisu interrupted directly.

Huijue glanced at her, folded his hands and recited the sentence of Amitabha: "The monks don't speak, and the fourth lady's birthday is calculated by the poor monk." ”

"You-"

"The master is also tired today, why don't you go back and rest earlier, there are only two people dead here, and it is unknown if it may disturb Feng Shui." The second lady interrupted Lin Zisu's words, looked at Lan Qiu again, and then said, what he said today is completely different from what he explained yesterday, maybe he was secretly bribed, and if he continued to stay, it would only be a bad thing.

She looked at Lin Jinwen, who had never messed up from beginning to end, and doubted more in her heart.

Lan Qiu willingly stepped forward to show Huijue the way: "Master, please go this way." ”

Huijue quietly glanced at Lin Jinwen, folded her hands and said a sentence, and then looked at Lin Zisu and sighed for a long time, and then left.

Lin Xiyu was unwilling to let this matter be like this, and stepped forward and said: "Second aunt, now that my mother has been injured, maybe it is Zisuke, why don't you say a word now?" Could it be that because she is your daughter, you let her defeat us? ”

The second lady looked at her who was unrelenting, and her heart was slightly ruthless, but she could only say kind words on her face: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run......"

"Since the second aunt can't make a decision...... Lin Jinwen interrupted her, today Mr. Wen can't die in vain, someone must pay the price, she raised her eyes and looked at her directly, and smiled lightly: "Why don't you send the fourth sister to Changle Nunnery, and clean up with your grandmother, and then go back to the house when the evil spirit is gone." ”

"I'm not going!" As soon as Lin Zisu thought of the bitter cold and bleak place of Changle Nunnery, he shouted directly.

The second lady glared at her secretly, and before she could say more, Lin Xiyu also nodded quickly: "It's still the seventh sister who is kind-hearted." The fourth sister said at the beginning that she was going to twist her hair. ”

Lin Zisu's face turned red, and he turned his head to look at Zhao Kan as if asking for help: "Third prince, the courtiers are not ......"

"The left and right grandmothers have only been cultivating for a month, and the fourth sister should serve the left and right and do their filial piety." Lin Jinwen looked at her coldly.

Lin Zisu gritted her teeth, but could she deny that she was a bad star, and she could refuse to do her filial piety for her grandmother?

Zhao Kan looked at Lin Jinwen, her eyes deepened, and said: "In this case, Miss Seven simply goes together, the mountain is lonely, and it is better to be a companion with Zisu." ”

Lin Zisu listened to his affectionate 'Zisu' one by one, and felt a little confident in his heart. If Lin Jinwen went alone, wouldn't it be better to do it in the mountains?

Lin Jinwen looked at Zhao Kan, who was staring at her eyes without blinking, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a little: "The courtiers still have affairs to deal with, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany the fourth sister." ”

"What's the matter?" Lin Zisu was puzzled, but Lin Jinwen turned her head and looked at the second lady lightly: "The old patriarch slandered my mother's name festival, if this matter is not investigated, Jinwen will not die!" ”

Never die!

The second lady was shocked, she was so determined, could it be true that she was so ruthless and had to pay for her life.

She said: "Jinwen, the second aunt will deal with this matter......

"The second aunt is old, I'm afraid she can't do it, otherwise the two big living people will be locked up in the Lin Mansion, how can they not know?" Lin Jinwen stared at her with burning eyes.

The second lady listened to her sentence of 'getting old', and her heart beat faster with anger, and her face was a little nervous.

Lin Gui, who had fainted at this time, finally woke up, and when he saw Lin Jinwen standing on the side, he pounced directly without thinking about it: "Lin Jinwen, you slut, you dare to beat me, I will kill you!" ”

Lin Jinwen had already prepared and was about to flash to the side, but she was tripped by the maid Lan Qiu beside the second lady, and the whole person rushed towards Lin Gui.

Bai Lan was so frightened that her face turned white, looking at Lin Gui with a hideous face, she didn't think about it, she stepped forward and bit his arm fiercely, but the whole person was thrown away by Lin Gui, who suddenly had enough strength, and fell the edge of the flower bed, and fainted directly.

Lin Gui's eyes were red, and she turned her head to pounce on Lin Jinwen again, but she had already gotten up and dodged behind the old patriarch who was pinned, and casually pulled out the hairpin of the maid on the side and hid it in the old patriarch's bun, facing Lin Gui's direction.

No one noticed her small action, Lin Gui also hurriedly rushed forward, raised his hand and pinched Lin Jinwen behind the old patriarch, but felt a sharp pain in his throat.

He stared at Lin Jinwen with wide eyes, Lin Jinwen took the opportunity to pull him forward suddenly, and the maids and wives next to him were in a mess to pull, Lin Jinwen let go of the knee holding the hairpin, broke away from Lin Gui's hand and stepped back, but her body was unstable and fell backwards.

I thought I was going to fall to the ground solidly, but my waist was weak, my body was light, and then I fell into an embrace full of ambergris.

"Miss Seven, be careful." Zhao Kan hugged her thin waist and didn't mean to let go, his lips came to her ear and whispered, looking at her round earlobes, and then looking down her fair neck, her petite body had begun to have the rudiments of a woman.

Lin Jin's eyebrows furrowed, and the corners of her mouth sarcastically hooked: "The third prince's hand cramped?" ”

"Cramps?" Zhao Kanjian's eyebrows furrowed, but Lin Jinwen raised her elbow and hit him hard in the chest, and waited for him to leave in pain before he said coldly: "If it weren't for cramps, why wouldn't you let go of your hand for a long time." Jin Wu is not talented, but she also has the blessing of being able to marry His Royal Highness King Ning and become the eldest sister-in-law of the three princes, please be careful in the future. ”

"You-" Zhao Kan saw that she was unmoved and merciless, and her handsome face was terrifying.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone screaming, and then Lin Gui fell straight back to the ground, a silver hairpin on his neck pierced his throat directly, and his eyes were lifeless.

The old patriarch's whole body was blindfolded, and there was still blood on his face that Lin Guifang had just dropped.

The mother-in-law let go of his hand, he pulled the handkerchief in his mouth, stood up and pointed at Lin Jin's wife and trembled: "Evil star, evil star!" ”

Mrs. Dingnanhou looked at the string of things that happened in the Lin Mansion and prepared to leave. But the second lady was willing to let her go out and talk nonsense now, and hurriedly said: "The old patriarch is crazy, take it back to the room immediately." As for Lin Gui...... she frowned and looked at Lin Jinwen, she was too confused and didn't see anything clearly, and Lin Gui didn't know whose hairpin it was: "Go and find out whose hairpin this hairpin is, maybe it's just an accident." ”

After speaking, he didn't bother Lin Zisu anymore, and hurriedly instructed Lan Qiu: "First pack up and send the fourth lady to Changle Nunnery, the facts that happened in the mansion today are coincidental, you are not allowed to say a word nonsense when you go out, otherwise you will not be able to get along with my Lin Mansion!" The second lady said coldly.

The subordinates were busy, and Mrs. Hou's face was a little unhappy: "Mrs. Ben won't say anything, don't worry." But there is no one around Jin Wu to take care of her, and you don't care more about being an aunt, it's really unreasonable. ”

The second lady was busy stepping forward to explain, but Mrs. Hou shook her face, turned her head and left.

Lin Zisu went to see Zhao Kan, but Zhao Kan just looked at Lin Jinwen deeply and said, "Miss Seven, the coming day is long." With that, he turned his head and walked away.

Lin Xiyu looked at the blood all over the courtyard, she didn't know how to restrain it, and she wanted to provoke, but she was directly glared back by the second lady's fierce eyes.

The second lady asked people to carry away the corpse on the ground, and she was worried about how to explain to the Lin family clan, if this matter was to be passed back, it must all be recorded on her head.

For the first time in so many years, she felt uneasy, if the old patriarch returned to the clan smoothly, not to mention anything else, the first thing was to force the second master to take a leave of absence.

She was thinking about it, but she heard Lin Jin's daughter-in-law, who hadn't left yet, say: "Second aunt, Sister-in-law Jin will personally send someone to the Lin family to explain these things clearly, and the old patriarch will trouble you to take care of it and then send someone back properly." ”

"I'll take care of this, you don't have to ......"

"It's about the reputation of my mother, and I don't dare to be careless." Lin Jinwen looked at the second lady's plump and bright face that became full of sorrow and wrinkles, her eyes were cold, and she turned away.

As soon as she left, the second lady immediately shook her body, held on to the pillar on the side and barely stood firmly, and gasped: "Call Huijue to me!" ”

When she said this, she gritted her teeth a little, but Lan Qiu, who had just gone out, hurriedly ran back and said, "Second Madam, Master Huijue was taken away by Miss Seven's people?" ”

"How can you get her to take people away?" The second lady couldn't hold it anymore and scolded angrily.

"It was Miss Seven's mother Yang who personally brought her mother-in-law and a stick to forcibly take people away. Those people are not the subordinates we sent to Luoxia Garden, they were personally sent by the eldest lady some time ago, and they didn't listen to the slaves. Lan Qiu was embarrassed, looked at the second lady's tightly frowning brows, thought about it, stepped forward and whispered: "Madame, don't you think what has happened in the past few days is too weird, not to mention all our plans, and smashed our own feet." ”

The second lady finally calmed down, waved away all the people around her, looked at the blood on the ground that had not been cleared, and reluctantly walked forward, thinking as she walked: "You mean, we have internal ghosts here?" ”

"If that's not the case, Miss Seven can predict what happened, but how is this possible." Lan Qiu Road.

The second lady furrowed her brows, and glanced at her coldly: "Find out the inner ghost for me, I'd rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go!" Lin Jinwen's girl is getting smarter and smarter, if we don't get rid of it, our long-term plan is afraid to become a bunch of bubbles. She closed her eyes and slowly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the silent winter, and walked away.

What happened in the Lin Mansion, there was the talk of Mrs. Dingnanhou, and it soon spread throughout the circle of the capital, and everyone knew that the second lady of the Lin Mansion was a wolf in sheep's clothing, and she and her maiden family were estranged a lot.

Huijue was properly placed in the capital by Lin Jinwen, and did not let him leave for the time being, as for the old patriarch of the Lin family, there were people from all over the capital staring, and the second lady did not dare to do anything on her face, so she honestly arranged a carriage, and when she left, she took a private dowry to him, and then sent him back to the Lin family.

Another day passed, and Lin Jinwen, Bai Lan Caier and a Yang mother were all injured.

Yang's mother was better, and she took the soup early to Lin Jinwen.

Lin Jinwen looked at the snow that fell on her and said with a light smile: "It's snowing again?" ”

"No, it's not a little windy today." After Mother Yang finished speaking, she leaned over and whispered in her ear: "The slave and maid have done everything you explained." ”

Lin Jinwen raised her eyebrows slightly: "That's good." She listened to the wind outside, thinking that her brother and father had come back in the past few days, and she was always happy and timid, after all, she didn't protect her mother......

Just thinking about it, Bai Lan didn't care about the injuries on her body and stumbled in from the outside, her face full of joy: "Miss...... Miss ......"

"What's wrong?" Mother Yang hurriedly helped her up and said strangely.

Bai Lan pointed outside and said happily: "The master and the son are back!" ”

Lin Jinwen immediately sat up straight, and Bai Lan nodded hurriedly: "The second lady is receiving in the front yard at this time, you can go quickly." ”

Lin Jinwen threw down the book in her hand, and ran out before she had time to put on her cloak and put on her shoes, and Yang's mother couldn't catch up.

When Lin Jinwen arrived in the front hall, she looked at the tall back standing in a military uniform and the slightly thin figure sitting on one side from a distance, and she only felt that her eyes were astringent. In his previous life, his brother was brutally killed by Zheng Ruyi, and his father was dragged down by himself and beheaded......

She didn't dare to think about it, but she couldn't move as if the soles of her feet were filled with lead, until a clear male voice came: "Jin Wu......"

The tall man hurriedly turned around, looked at his thin daughter who was stunned in the snow, and without saying a word, he stepped forward and took her in his arms: "Jin, Daddy is back." ”

When Lin Jinwen heard this, her heart was warm and she felt aggrieved, her nose was sour, and tears fell out as soon as she brushed it.

"Daddy, mother kisses her......" Lin Jin's wife finally spoke for a long time, and a big man in Lin Luzhi also followed with red eyes: "The news from your second aunt has been passed to the border gate early." ”

"What?" Lin Jinwen paused slightly, she thought that her father and brother didn't know about this matter, at that time they were in a dangerous war, if they knew about it, they would be distracted, but she never thought that the Ye family, who had been silent before, would quietly send the news over, did she want to kill them!

The second lady saw Lin Jin's slightly cold eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I'm also worried that your mother has been wronged, and you can't let your husband and son know about it when she dies." ”

"Really? The second aunt was still enjoying the snow in the countryside village at that time, and it was rare to remember this incident. Lin Jinwen said coolly.

When Lin Luzhi heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said with a little reproach: "Jinwen, don't talk to your aunt like this." After that, looking at the second lady's eyes also became a little complicated.

Lin Jinwen knew that he had always been sympathetic to the old lady is stepfamily, and took special care of the big room and the second room, and he also knew that he would not be able to uncover their masks at this time, so he could only lower his eyes.

The second lady took the opportunity to smile and said, "Jin Wu is still young, so it's okay." ”

Lin Jincheng believed in his sister more, Qingjun's face was full of frost, and he only gently rubbed Lin Jincheng's little head: "We also listened to what Prince Ning said about the Lin Mansion, I have wronged you during this time, and my brother will protect you in the future, whoever dares to bully you for half a point, I will definitely crush his bones!" ”

Lin Luzhi frowned, and wanted to say, but Lin Jinwen pulled him coquettishly and said: "Father, I still have to go to the palace to see the emperor in a while, let's change and enter the palace early, and I can accompany Jinwen to have dinner in the evening." ”

Lin Luzhi looked at this daughter with a beloved wife's seven-point face, and became more and more distressed, and felt a little strange in his heart, how the daughter who was timid and shy before had become so lively now, but he only thought that he hadn't seen her for a long time, and her daughter had grown up, but she didn't go to her heart, nodded and followed her away.

Lin Jincheng looked at Lin Jincheng, who was a little shorter than him, his eyes were full of gentleness, and half of the killing spirit of the young general on his body was gone, as if the fatigue from the march had disappeared.

The second lady watched the happy family leave, and then slapped her hand on the table in a heavy manner.

Lan Qiu stepped forward and said: "Madam, don't worry, it will be the end of the year in a few days, and then there will be a head to take the old lady and the young lady back, the third old man has always respected the old lady, even if there is a seventh young lady blowing the wind in his ears, he doesn't dare to do anything to you." “

"I'm not afraid of him, I think I'm a fool who values love and righteousness, but Lin Jin's brothers and sisters can't stay. Didn't you hear what Lin Jincheng said, he broke his bones, he was born as a military general, and I am afraid that he will really do this. The second lady said coldly.

"Then what do you mean ......"

"He is not young, he has to marry several wives, even if he can't marry a wife in the filial piety period, concubines are also indispensable. My mother's brother's daughter Huifang is also sixteen years old this year, you go and deliver a message, and let your sister-in-law Ming'er lead her over to live in the house for a few days. The second lady pondered. Lin Jincheng is a man with strong blood and strength, where can he withstand the temptation of a woman, just like the second master, he is still not satisfied when he is old.

Thinking of this, she became more and more angry: "Go and ask the doctor to prescribe me a few pairs of raw child soup." ”

"Yes."

"And ......," she paused, "When it gets dark, call the geese, I have something to say." ”

"Slave and maid, let's do it." Lan Qiu hurriedly went out.

At this end, Lin Luzhi and Lin Jincheng changed their clothes, and when they didn't see Lin Jincheng, they were a little lonely, after all, the good wife said that they would fall into the water.

When he came out and saw Lin Jinwen sitting in the warm pavilion to sort out the books they brought back, Lin Jincheng smiled: "Jin's sister-in-law, who has always been lazy, can also read and write?" ”

"My brother made fun of me." Lin Jinjiao glared at him with disgust, but she was strangely happy in her heart. After all these years, it seems like a world away, and now this feeling is especially obvious.

The brother and sister laughed for a while, and then Lin Jincheng quietly asked her, "Do you know a young lady surnamed Zheng?" ”

"Surname Zheng?" Lin Jinwen's hand as she packed up the scroll tightened slightly.

Lin Jincheng was also like a young man who had just fallen in love at this time, and his eyes were shining: "When I came back today, I saw her on the road, and she was setting up a porridge shed to give porridge." ”

Lin Jin's heart sank suddenly, who else could be giving porridge outside these days, it was nothing more than Zheng Ruyi, who was bent on establishing her kind and beautiful image.

She suddenly thought of something, and smiled lightly: "Tomorrow I want to buy fat powder, my brother wants to go with me, maybe I can meet that Miss Zheng again, such a kind young lady, Jin Wu doesn't know her, and she has to recognize a handkerchief." ”

Lin Jincheng looked at his sister's shining eyes, his face turned red, he coughed lightly, straightened his clothes, raised his hand and nodded her forehead naturally: "Okay, Brother Ming'er will take you there." ”

Lin Jinwen looked at him in a cyan robe and a long body, his facial features were not as cold and stunning as Zhao Huaiyan, but he was calm and mature after a long time on the battlefield, and he changed his armor to add a bit of gentle and elegant temperament, how could he let Zheng Ruyi be ruined by such a good brother!

"It's getting late, let's go." Lin Luzhi came out of it and saw the laughter of the brother and sister, and he also smiled.

Lin Jinwen personally sent them to the gate, and watched them leave in the carriage, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mother Yang followed by her side and said with relief: "When the master and son come back, the young lady will not be afraid of anything in the future." ”

Lin Jinwen breathed a sigh of relief, but coldly hooked the corners of her mouth, my brother and father are back, this is just the beginning!

In the afternoon, the Dingnan Hou Mansion suddenly sent someone to send a stack of wedding cakes, and then sent a large box of clothes and jewelry, which made Lin Jinwen stunned.

"What's going on?" Lin Jinwen looked at the maid who came to deliver the message and said puzzled.

The maid covered her lips and chuckled: "This Xi'er was recruited by Miss Lin, but now Miss Lin doesn't know it." Our Mrs. Hou, we are happy! ”

"Really?" Mother Yang also said in surprise, today is really a good day, and there are many happy events.

"Since I took it seriously, my wife invited two or three imperial doctors to take a look, and it was true, the fetus was only one month old, and although the pulse was not obvious, it could be determined. Mrs. Hou said that she would thank Miss Lin in a few days, and Miss Lin must accept these small gifts. ”

Lin Jinwen smiled, now that Mrs. Hou has made this move, the next road will be much easier.

As soon as Mrs. Hou was happy, Lin Jinwen's name as a miracle doctor also spread. After all, Mrs. Hou is already a hen that has been recognized as not laying eggs, and now she is expected by her to say that which lady who wants to conceive a child is not eager to do so.

When the second lady heard the news, she had just drunk the fried Qiuzi soup, and hurriedly took water to rinse her mouth and put a candied fruit in her mouth to relieve her breath.

"Madam, I'm afraid Miss Seven will really be difficult to deal with in the future." Lan Qiu asked someone to take away the medicine bowl and said worriedly.

The second lady is not thinking about this now, she touched her belly, which she had never been able to give birth to, and her brows were tightly twisted together.

But before I figured it out, news came from outside, saying that the Kang family had come to the door and was carrying the half-dead Kang Yue.

They came quietly for the sake of face, but they did not alarm many people.

"What are they coming for? The Lin family has no friendship with the Kang family......"

Lan Qiu seemed to think of something, leaned over and whispered: "Miss and Miss Kang seem to have been close, Miss Kang was found naked with her cousin a few days ago and was thrown in the market, and it is rumored that she has contracted flower willow disease......"

The second lady was full of disgust, and waved her hand directly: "Then see what they do, send them away!" ”

The mother-in-law who talked back and forth hurriedly said: "But madam, they said that if you don't see you, they will expose the fact that Miss Fourth instructed Miss Kang to frame Miss Seven, and they also said that the reason why Miss Kang was designed to be thrown on the street is also due to Miss Four......"

"How many of them dare to threaten me!" The second lady rushed up angrily.

Lan Qiu calmed down: "If you don't call them in, in case the people in the big house know, if the eldest lady makes a fuss, won't the news of our young lady mixing with Kang Yue and other women have to be spread?" The fourth lady hasn't talked about marriage yet. ”

Hearing this, the second lady took a long breath before finally letting go of the cup she was holding tightly: "Hurry up and invite someone." ”

The Kang family who came was actually not from Kang Shilang's house, Kang Yue's father was just a cousin of Kang Shilang, who borrowed Kang Shilang's light, and he was still a little decent in the capital, and now as soon as Kang Shilang died, he was immediately beaten back to his original form, and the capital couldn't stay until Kang Yue suddenly had an accident.

"Dad, can this be done?" A short and fat man beside him who looked eight points like Kang Yue asked him.

Kang Ji's slender eyes narrowed, and he smiled: "You didn't see the letter this morning?" The letter said that the handle of the second lady of the Lin family is now in our hands, and she can't agree to it or not. ”

"But we don't know who sent the letter......

"It's okay, just give it a try, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in this capital." Kang Ji looked at his flat purse, but he didn't even glance at the half-dead Kang Yue who was carried by the wooden board on the side.

Not long after, Lan Qiu came over and personally led people in, but he didn't hear what they said.

When he arrived at the main hall of the second bedroom, Kang Ji glanced around, the utensils were all high-quality mahogany, and there were a lot of high-quality jade objects on the Duobao Pavilion on the side, which was much more magnificent than his cousin Kang Shilang's family.

Kang Yao looked at his father's eyes and asked quietly, "Dad, what are you looking at?" ”

"I'll see how much silver we'll have to get to make it happen." Kang Ji touched his chin, he has been in the capital for so many years, relying on the face of Kang Shilang, although he has not become a big official, the gambling money of the Gentlemen's Association is not bad, and now as soon as Kang Shilang died, his sister-in-law directly swept him out, and now he doesn't want to ask for more money, and he will have a hard life in the future.

The second lady looked at their father and son for a long time in the room, as well as Kang Yue who was placed on the ground, although her face was covered with a veil, it was clearly visible that the veil had been wet with rotten sores, and it was very disgusting.

She clutched her handkerchief and suppressed the nausea in her stomach, restrained the disgust on her face, and then walked out of the room, followed by four or five sturdy mothers-in-law.

When Kang Ji saw her coming, he first smelled a good fragrance, his eyes narrowed, and he raised his eyes to look at the second lady in a brocade dress, although the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were already wrinkled, his body was kept very good, his skin was fair, his facial features were good, and he had a mature flavor.

He hurriedly stood up and arched his hand, and said with a smile: "I have heard that the second lady is famous for a long time, and now I see it, it really deserves its reputation." ”

The second lady was only said by Lin Jinwen a few days ago that she was old, and when she heard the man's flattery today, she was first embarrassed, and then a little proud, and her face was a little better, so she only turned around and sat on the main seat, picked up the teacup and said lightly: "I heard that Master Kang is here today for Miss Kang?" ”

"Yes, but ......"

Before Kang Ji spoke, he heard the second lady say: "Zisu is still young and has no sense of proportion, but she still knows what to say and what not to say." She saw that the people from the Kang family were not from the Kang Shilang family at all, and she was even more slow in her heart, thinking that she would send some silver.

Kang Ji frowned, and was about to speak, but when he saw her clapping her hands, Lan Qiu came out with a plate from the inside, which was neatly packed with more than a dozen silver ingots, adding up to two hundred taels, if it was an ordinary person, with these two hundred taels, he could live a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing, but Kang Ji was not an ordinary person.

He looked at the two hundred taels of silver sarcastically and sneered, "What does this mean by the second lady?" ”

"What do you mean?" The second lady put down the teacup and looked at him: "Didn't you come just to ask for some silver?" You have no evidence about Zisu and Miss Kang, and Zisu has now gone up the mountain to cultivate. As for Miss Kang, her daughter's family has ruined her reputation by disguising herself and colluding with others, do you still blame my Lin family? ”

What she said meant was to look down on Kang Ji, Kang Yao was not as bold as his father, so he only whispered: "Dad, don't forget it......"

"Forget it?" Kang Ji glanced at him and looked at the second lady with a sneer: "Don't think I don't know about the dirty things you did, I originally wanted to discuss with you in a good voice, but since you don't want to, then don't blame me for shaking out all your little handles!" ”

The second lady's hand holding the chair tightened slightly, and she glanced at Lan Qiu, who immediately sent all the other maids in the room down, leaving only a few henchmen and the Kang family.

The second lady stood up and looked at Kang Ji, who was still so old and scoundrel, with a faint smile: "The Kang family has produced a Kang Shilang for so many years, although you still have an uncle who is a sesame official in the county, but what is the capital?" You think you can go wild? ”

Kang Ji's face became darker and darker, and he sneered at her: "It seems that the second lady brought us in early in the morning, and she didn't fancy us at all." Well, I originally only planned to ask you for 20,000 taels to get married, but now, you not only have to give me 20,000 taels, but also marry your daughter Lin Zisu to my son as a wife! ”

Lan Qiu saw that the second lady's face was dark, and she stepped forward and scolded: "Bastard, who do you think you are talking to!" Kang Shilang is dead, and the Kang family is nothing in the capital! I add Miss Golden Branches and Jade Leaves, in fact, you can climb high. ”

Kang Ji didn't laugh angrily, pointed at Lan Qiu, and looked at the second lady: "I still want to treat her as a concubine, I'm always a little older, but I still have the same charm as the second lady, especially if you haven't budded yet, the taste must be better." ”

Lan Qiu's face was slightly pale, and she looked at the second lady with her lips.

The second lady's eyebrows were twisted together, but she was thinking about what tricks he had.

She looked at him and said, "Why do you think I would promise you?" ”

"Why?" The corners of Kang Ji's mouth hooked: "I know that Lin Zisu is not the Lin family's species at all." Second Madam, Second Master Lin hasn't even given birth to an eggshell under his knees for so many years, haven't you ever doubted it? Maybe he can't do it at all, I just need to ask the doctor to see his illness, and I can know what you were with ...... back then."

"Shut up!" Lan Qiu wanted to scold, but the second lady suddenly said coldly: "Twenty thousand taels of silver...... I'll send it to your house later, and I'll think about Shiso's marriage. ”

"Madam......" Lan Qiu was puzzled, could it be that the fourth young lady was really not the second master?

The second lady's eyes were very complicated, for so many years she had always thought that there was something wrong with the woman in the second room, but she never thought that she was pregnant with perilla that time.

She restrained all her ruthlessness, only stared at Kang Ji lightly, and pointed to the two hundred taels she had just brought: "These are the expenses for your journey back and forth today, but you have to tell me who told you about this." ”

Kang Ji didn't care, he felt that he had pinched her handle to death, glanced at her and said, "When you send her to my house, I'll tell you." He pointed at Lan Qiu, laughed and turned around and left.

Lan Qiu's face turned pale, and he turned around and looked at the second lady nervously: "Madam, the slave doesn't want to ......"

"Go down and clean up." The second lady sat down on the stool, looking at the back of Kang Ji leaving, and the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes were written with murderous intent.

She would never allow anyone to spread the word about that incident back then!

Luoxia Garden.

Lin Jinwen heard what Mother Yang said, and then said, "After nightfall, does Mother know what to do?" ”

"Will the Kang family really do what you expected? When the slave saw them coming in at the front door, although she was a little proud, she was still a little afraid, this is the general's mansion. Mother Yang was a little worried, although she had seen Miss's ability to plan carefully, but this time she always felt mysterious, Miss didn't inquire about anything, so she asked her to quietly hand a letter to Kang's house and it was over, and now she had to go to the official in the middle of the night.

Lin Jinwen carefully embroidered the last stitch of the handkerchief in her hand, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "You just do it, and go to the back alley tonight, tell the sixth child, and let him arrange for Huijue to prepare tomorrow." Now that Mrs. Hou has a son, he doesn't have to worry about being calculated. ”

Mother Yang saw that she was staring at the handkerchief in her hand, so she could only comfort herself to gamble, but said with a smile: "Miss specially embroidered this handkerchief, is it for the son?" ”

"Hmm." Lin Jinwen nodded: "Ming'er is of great use." The corners of her mouth curled high. No matter how clear she was about Zheng Ruyi's previous life, she would never let her hurt her brother again!

Turning his head to look at the sky, it was slowly getting dark, the candles were lit in the courtyard, Bai Lan came in and said that dinner had been prepared, and Lin Jinwen came out of the warm pavilion.

Cai'er prepared the dishes and chopsticks, and saw that Yan'er had gone out to prepare teacups, so she hurriedly went to Lin Jin's ear and said, "Miss, the slave maid saw that Yan'er always ran out today, and I was afraid that she went to the second lady's courtyard." ”

"Leave her alone." Lin Jinwen looked at the table full of dishes and was in a good mood.

Cai'er was still worried, but Bai Lan quietly pulled her: "Don't worry, our young lady is like a mirror in her heart, she knows everything." ”

Cai'er sighed: "Isn't this my old mother's worry." ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed, and it just so happened that Lin Luzhi and Lin Jincheng also came back from outside.

Lin Jinwen looked at the person who came, her father was mighty, and her brother was Qingjun, it would be nice if her mother was there......

Wait, why is there someone else in the middle?

When a few maids saw the comer, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "His Royal Highness King Ning." ”

Lin Jinwen was stunned, and suddenly remembered that he had quietly come to give himself medicine that night, her face was a little hot, and she hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Lin Jincheng looked at Lin Jincheng and explained with a smile: "The prince had something to discuss with his father at night, and he just didn't have a meal, so he came here to eat some together." Jin Wu, you haven't left the pavilion yet, so you have been wronged to eat in the conservatory. ”

"Yes." Lin Jinwen nodded and agreed, and was about to leave, but heard Zhao Huaiyan speak: "Family, don't be restrained." ”

Lin Luzhi and Lin Jincheng are both stunned, this is a family before they have passed the door? He came to Lin Mansion here, and he didn't think of himself as an outsider.

Lin Jinwen couldn't refuse, but when she raised her eyes, she saw him looking at herself with a smile in her eyes: "Is the injury better?" ”

Lin Jinwen's face was even hotter, but she glared at him secretly.

Zhao Huaiyan looked at her puffed up, the corners of her mouth turned into a slight smile, and she strode straight to sit on the main seat.

Several people also sat at the table, and Lin Jincheng sat next to Lin Jincheng. After the meal, Lin Jincheng was still strange, and when he was eating, he always felt a slightly cool gaze sweeping over him.

Compared to the bustle here, the cold backyard corner door has been quietly opened.

The specially dressed woman looked at the long alley in front of her, which seemed to be bottomless, clutched the things hidden in her sleeves, lowered her head and walked away quickly.

But I don't know that the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind!
