Since the last time he saw Lin Zhilan in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, Bai Xiuyang has been waiting for the Lin family to make some moves.

But waited and waited, and did not wait for Lin Zhilan to deliver the post.

Bai Xiuyang couldn't hold back, so he sent someone to the Lin family to inquire, and it took a lot of effort for the boss to find out a little bit of the tone, it was Young Master Lin and Sister Lin Jiu who had fallen out.

Bai Xiuyang was skeptical.

He knew how good Lin Zhilan was to Lin Jiuniang, otherwise, he would never spend a huge sum of 150,000 taels of silver to exchange her for the title of Mrs. Shizi.

Originally, Bai Xiuyang felt that it would not be a problem to take advantage of Lin Zhilan's brother-sister affection for Lin Jiuniang and then ask the Lin family for 50,000 taels.

150,000 taels were given, do you still care about these 50,000 taels?

Money is a stepping stone, and with these 50,000 taels, he has the confidence to go to the door of the true king of Yuguang.

And only by taking the line of the true king of Yuguang can he have the opportunity to rise step by step and shine on the lintel of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion.

After hesitating, he still made up his mind to bypass his father and talk to Lin Zhilan in person.

The Lin family winery has a number of shops in Fuzhou, and the head office is located on the south side of Xingyuan Street.

After many inquiries, Bai Xiuyang learned that Lin Zhilan often came to the head office to discuss matters with the big shopkeeper Qian in Fuzhou.

So he arranged a special person to wait, and once he found Lin Zhilan's traces, he would report immediately.

On this day, Bai Xiuyang was reading a book in the courtyard, and overheard a report from his subordinates that it was Lin Zhilan who went to the Lin family's general number.

Bai Xiuyang immediately set off, hurried slowly, and finally "met" him at the door when Lin Zhilan left the general number.

Lin Zhilan was just about to get on the sedan chair, and he caught a glimpse of Bai Xiuyang's figure, but he deliberately pretended not to see it, and still lifted the sedan curtain.

"Young Master Lin!"

Bai Xiuyang couldn't hold back and took the initiative to shout.

Lin Zhilan pretended to be surprised, looked back, and took two steps back before bowing and saluting: "It turned out to be the son of the world." The grass people Lin Zhilan has seen the son. ”

Bai Xiuyang smiled slightly embarrassedly: "Young Master Lin doesn't need to be polite. What's the matter, Young Master Lin has just finished his business? ”

Lin Zhilan muttered in his heart, "Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief", but he still showed a polite smile on his face, and said perfunctorily: "It's just some ordinary affairs." What's the matter, the prince is out and about? ”

Bai Xiuyang smiled slightly and said, "What can I do, it's just idle." By the way, I heard that it was Sister Lin Jiu's birthday a few days ago, and I also prepared a gift to send it, I don't know if she likes it or not? ”

Lin Zhilan also smiled and said: "I like it, my sister likes it very much." ”

Bai Xiuyang gave a jade Ruyi made of white jade, placed in the brocade box of jade Ruyi, and attached a handkerchief embroidered with poems.

"Out of its east gate, there are women like clouds. Although it is like a cloud. I think about it. Silk clothes and scarves, chat about my members.

Out of its humble beginnings, there are women in full swing. Although it is in full swing, I think about it. Dressed in clothes, chatting can be entertained. ”

As soon as Lin Zhilan opened the brocade box and saw the handkerchief, he immediately fell to the point of soreness.

Poetry is good poetry, medium.

Jade, although it is not a good jade, but the quality is acceptable, and the carving is barely fine.

It's just that this hypocrisy is really unbearable.

Lin Zhilan endured his nausea, asked Steward Lin to prepare a return gift casually, and casually stuffed the brocade box into the corner of the study.

He didn't mention this matter to Lin Jiuniang.

It's okay if you're disgusting, I don't want the ninth sister to feel disgusting with me.

Bai Xiuyang didn't read Lin Zhilan's thoughts, and said with a smile: "It's good if the ninth sister likes it." Although that jade Ruyi is not a good thing, it was given to me by my mother when I was a teenager, and I have always treasured it. Now, it is worth the money to please the ninth sister! ”

Bai Xiuyang said this humbly, and the bamboo flute and bamboo fungus behind Lin Zhilan showed surprise.

Only Lin Zhilan remained silent, just grinned.

In Bai Xiuyang's opinion, Lin Zhilan's smile seemed to have a deep meaning, he tried to see something, but he could only grasp some details, and he couldn't get a glimpse of the whole picture.

"My sister has been stubborn since she was a child, and it is her blessing to be able to get the blue eyes of the world." Lin Zhilan said coldly, "If there is nothing else, I will take the first step below." ”

Bai Xiuyang never expected Lin Zhilan's attitude to be so tough, he and his father were both soft and hard, and he was indifferent.

Could it be that he is really not afraid that the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion will propose to withdraw from the marriage on the Lin Jiuniang scandal?

With Lin Jiuniang's background, if she divorces again, I'm afraid, it is impossible for a pure white family to be willing to want her!

If it weren't for the scandal about himself that came out later, Bai Xiuyang's attitude might have been tougher.

But now the rumors about him are even more circulating, and he is a little lacking in confidence for a while.

"In that case, I won't delay you from getting down to business." Bai Xiuyang suppressed his anger and pretended to be relaxed, "If Young Master Lin is free, we can also get together more." ”

Lin Zhilan didn't even want to pretend, and said with a cold face: "Then I will thank the prince for his kindness!" ”

After that, Lin Zhilan simply boarded the sedan chair neatly and walked in the direction of the Lin family.

The bamboo flute was a little puzzled, and after Bai Xiuyang's figure disappeared, he asked: "Young Master, why is Bai Xiuyang also the son of the Marquis of Zhongyong, and your attitude towards him is also ......."

"What?"

"It's a little too polite."

Lin Zhilan said sullenly: "You can't be too polite to this kind of person. ”

"But the eldest young master, what if the prince is angry and proposes to divorce the ninth sister?" The bamboo flute said quickly, "At that time, isn't it troublesome?" ”

"If he wants to mention it, let him do it. He can lift it, and I can drag it. As long as he is willing to return the 150,000 taels of silver, I will naturally agree to return. If he is not willing to retreat, then I will not follow, I will see who can drag whom. ”

Zhu Di didn't understand again: "The Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is naturally not willing to spit out the silver, but if they give up the marriage, the ninth sister really enters the Hou Mansion, I'm afraid that life will not be easy." ”

Lin Zhilan said quietly: "It's not good, it's not good, it was she who cried and shouted that she wanted to enter the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion as the wife of the prince, if there is really that day in the future, she can only ask for benevolence." ”

Zhudi muttered in a low voice: "You really don't care about the ninth sister?" ”

"I don't care, I don't want to care, I can't care about it."

Zhu Sheng said on the side: "Then you might as well let the fourth sister go over for the ninth sister." The master has spoken a few times, and you have also hid a few times, but it is not a matter of hiding alone. In this case, it is better to let the fourth sister forget it, and ask for benevolence! ”

The bamboo flute and bamboo fungus are Lin Zhilan's personal entourage, and they usually have a lot of contact with Lin Jiuniang, but now they see that Bai Xiuyang is not a good match, so they don't want Lin Jiuniang to jump into the fire pit.

"Let Siniang go?" Lin Zhilan couldn't help but think of Jiang Xuan's words.

"The fourth sister is the biological daughter of the eldest lady, if she is allowed to replace the ninth sister and enter the Hou Mansion, she will become the wife of the prince in the future, I am afraid that the eldest lady will take advantage of this to make trouble for you."

"I think it's better to let the sixth sister go. The sixth sister is beautiful and gentle. Listening to it is also known for its literary brilliance, I think it will have an appetite for the son. ”

"The most important thing is that the sixth sister has no backer, so naturally she can only regard you as a dependent, and she will ...... in the future It also saves trouble. ”

Lin Zhilan shook his head.

Although Lin Liuniang and him are only cousins, and they rarely have any contacts, he has seen Bai Xiuyang's wolf ambitions, how can he bear to send his good sister into his wolf den?

Thinking of Jiang Xuan, Lin Zhilan felt a little guilty again.

Maybe it's because during this period of time, his mind was always on the matter of the ninth sister, and he was a little cold to Jiang Xuan, and Jiang Xuan seemed to be a lot stranger to herself.

For so many years, Jiang Xuan has always been her duty and diligently takes care of this family.

I was a little wronged by her.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhilan instructed the bamboo flute: "Don't go home first, go to Yinfeng Tower." ”

The bamboo flute was a little inexplicable: "Why are you going to Yinfeng Tower?" ”

Zhu Sheng reacted and said, "What else can I do, naturally I choose jewelry for my young grandmother - mine right?" Gentleman? ”

"Monkey cub!" Lin Zhilan scolded with a smile, "Just you are clever!" ”
