Chapter 30: Provocation

Lin Jiang didn't know that Lu Zhen was suspicious, and was talking to Lin Qingwan about his grievances with Lu Zhen.

If you really want to say that they have a grudge, it's not that they have a grudge, but there have always been a lot of small contradictions.

Lin Jiang has been the first in their class since he went to Guozixue, even if he is not inferior to the senior brothers of Guozixue, so he is a student in another class and a child of other people's families as soon as he enters the school.

And Lu Zhen is not bad, and he was born in the Lu family, and the Guozi priest wine is his uncle, so it can be said that he was the genius of their class before Lin Jiang entered the school.

When Lin Jiang entered the school, he was still a genius, but Lin Jiang was a legend.

They are all teenagers, so he is naturally unconvinced, so he does a lot of cynicism and finding fault.

Lin Jiang thought that the other party was a classmate, and he was a teacher and nephew, so he didn't care about the other party, and every time he was sarcastic, he ignored the other party.

This made Lu Zhen feel that Lin Jiang looked down on him and despised him, and he was even more angry. As a result, the contradictions between the two sides deepened.

Lin Jiang is not a person who suffers losses, otherwise he would not be secretly called a smiling tiger, and after finding that it was useless to retreat, he fought back.

sneered back when Lu Zhen was sarcastic, crushed back in his talents, and even gave him eye medicine in front of the teacher, so that the other party was in dire straits.

Lu Zhen, who originally had the upper hand, was overwhelmed at once, the tree fell and scattered, and none of his classmates dared to intercede with him in front of the teacher, but smiled and watched him being punished for copying books, endorsing books, and even being punished for standing and kneeling.

Lin Jiang won, but from then on, the two of them were completely married, and there was no peace when the two got together.

For some reason, he just likes to follow Lin Jiang to get together, he must go to the poetry meeting that Lin Jiang attends, and Lin Jiang goes on an outing with his classmates, and he will definitely receive invitations from his classmates......

When they entered the court as officials, the competition between the two was even more fierce, and they quarreled in the court.

Although they quarreled, the two had never stumbled over each other, and the fights were all clear, so Lin Jiang trusted each other's character.

But in the past, he would not entrust the other party to take care of his family, and their relationship was really not as deep.

After all, in addition to him, Lin Jiang also has a clan, a Yue family, and two friends, either of which is more worthy of trust than him.

can peep into the three deductions of the heavenly mirror, the three worlds all represent the clan, the Yue family is unreliable, and his two friends are the last to die, and one is poor and powerless, and he is powerless to help after his daughter's accident.

Only Lu Zhen, who was far away in Lingzhou, but after hearing the news, he asked his wife to come all the way to collect his daughter's body, and used money to open the way, so that she could be buried in the ancestral grave and buried next to their husband and wife.

In addition to the deduction in the peeping mirror, Lin Jiang said everything that could be said between him and Lu Zhen, and said: "Don't bother him too much, but if you have something difficult and need his help, you can also ask him." ”

It means that this favor should be used on the blade, and Lin Qingwan should respond.

"Master, eldest lady," Steward Lin's figure appeared at the door, bowed down and said, "Master Zhao, Master Xie and Master Zhou are here, saying that they are here to visit the master." ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, "It's just in time, please invite them in, it's just that the old man just fell asleep and is inconvenient to meet the guests, so let the young master cousin entertain him together." ”

"It's just that the Chincha-sama are still ......"

"Didn't they just come to see the Chincha-sama? We don't have to stand in the way. Lin Qingwan paused and said, "Find a few clever people to ask the people they brought, and ask who proposed to come to the Lin Mansion." ”

"Yes."

Lin Qingwan turned to look at Lin Jiang on the bed, stared into his eyes and asked, "Which one do you guess proposed?" ”

Lin Jiang raised his eyes and looked back, his eyes flashed with a streamer and said, "Zhao family." ”

Lin Qingwan pursed her lips and smiled, and glanced at the blue sky outside the window proudly.

Look, didn't you allow Lin Jiang to divulge the Heavenly Secrets? But we're that smart. It seems that among the three major families, the Zhao family has the heaviest malice towards the Lin family.

Zhao, Zhou, and Xie all have people in the court as officials, especially Xie Yan, who is an official himself, so the Qincha who sat in the hall and ate hotly were very polite to the three of them.

However, everyone is not stupid, they know what to say and what they can't reveal, so Zhao Zhou and Xie can't find out anything except the content of the emperor's holy decree.

The officials all shirked that they had just arrived and had not yet had time to hand over to the Lin Mansion, and the matter of official donations had not yet been thoroughly understood, so it was difficult to say.

As for Shang Mingyuan, who was entertaining, he didn't know anything.

The officials knew and pretended not to know, and he really didn't know.

So he played with the three masters with an ignorant face, the three masters: ......

Especially Zhao Sheng, he almost died of anger.

It's still a relative, and he didn't miss a big event like the arrival of the Qin Mission, and he learned that the news was coming all over the outside, otherwise he would have come earlier, or go directly to pick up the Qin Messenger outside the city, and at this moment, I was afraid that I could also find out something behind them.

Shang Mingyuan was dumped by Zhao Sheng, and he was not happy in his heart.

Call you Uncle Zhao, do you really think you are my uncle?

Shang Mingyuan snorted lightly in his heart, and after sending the guests away, he ran to Lin Qingwan to complain, "The second master of the Zhao family doesn't know what medicine he took wrong, and today he pulled me to find out how much money the Lin Mansion received, whether all the money should really be donated to the imperial court, and how to donate it, whether it should be distributed to various places on the spot, or brought back to Kyoto...... It's just that I, an outsider, know about my uncle's arrangement? I couldn't answer, so I just slapped my face, and I really thought I was his nephew. ”

Lin Qingwan laughed when she heard this, and asked him, "Zhao Sheng is not your uncle, in the same way, am I also a cheap aunt?" ”

Shang Mingyuan couldn't help coughing, blushed and shook his hand, "Aunt Lin, my nephew didn't mean that......"

But in fact, Lin Qingwan is really the same as Zhao Sheng to him, he has no blood relationship with him, he just calls his aunt and uncle.

One is the sister-in-law of her aunt, and the other is her cousin's uncle.

But when it comes to intimacy, in his heart, Lin Qingwan is naturally closer, first, he has been raised by his aunt for a few years, and his uncle has the grace of parenting him.

The second is that Zhao Sheng really hates it, and his arrogant appearance is as if he is the sky and he is dust. Snort, who looks down on whom.

In contrast, although his uncle was strict, he was really good for him, and Shang Mingyuan still knew this.

So Shang Mingyuan said confidently: "In my nephew's heart, Aunt Lin is naturally closer, so how can Uncle Zhao compare with you." ”

Lin Qingwan sneered, turned around and pointed to the golden Buddha placed on the table and said, "This is for you, and it will be counted as a little reward for helping me today." I know that you are short of money, but now my Lin family has no money, so I can only find some small things to give you. ”

Shang Mingyuan looked at the little golden Buddha on the table, his eyes straightened, and after coming back to his senses, he shook his head and said, "How can you ask for Aunt Lin's things, it's just a gesture." ”

Lin Qingwan stuffed the golden Buddha into his arms, and said indifferently: "Take it, it's not good to let the nephew work in vain, otherwise I will be embarrassed to ask you for help in the future." ”

Shang Mingyuan held Jin Buddha Le in one hand, patted his chest with the other and said, "Aunt Lin has an order, although she says, my nephew will never give up." ”

Lin Qingwan waved her hand, and was about to let him go down, but she stopped him as if she suddenly remembered: "By the way, what's the matter with the person who came with you?" When the Qin mission came today, he ran forward vigorously, if it weren't for Steward Lin's quick reaction, he would have rushed into the Qin mission. ”

Shang Mingyuan smiled, his face a little stiff.

Lin Qingwan frowned at him slightly, and sighed: "Nephew, don't think I'm talking ugly, you're not too young, it's time to do something serious." ”

"Your uncle has been worried about you, saying that you can't study, and you can't endure hardships in martial arts, where is there a place to get ahead? Do you want to stay at home and take care of your chores for the rest of your life? If you can really take charge of the family business like Zhao Sheng, you can just handle the housework, but you are now an errand runner. Now it's okay if you don't have children, but after two years, you have a child with your daughter-in-law, will you live like this? If you don't think about it, you have to think about your daughter-in-law and your children. ”

Shang Mingyuan lowered his head, staring at his toes and did not speak.

"It just so happens that there are many adults here now, so don't go out these days, follow them and see what you're good at, if you can get into the eyes of adults, it's good to do a record first, and if not, expand your network, in the future, you will do business by yourself, or it will be more convenient for you to take care of the house." Lin Qingwan nodded: "This time, in addition to the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, the Assassin's Mansion also sent two officials over, Suzhou and Yangzhou are not far apart, and there will definitely be many opportunities for exchanges in the future." ”

This is to remind him to have more dealings with officials in Yangzhou, Shang Mingyuan was grateful, hugged the little golden Buddha tightly, and said: "Aunt Lin, don't worry, I will not be lazy these days, and I will not go out." ”

Lin Qingwan smiled with relief and let him retreat.

She looked at his back and remembered Lin Jiang's evaluation of him: heartless.

A person has no heart and no lungs because there are no people and things to worry about, since there is none, then it can be created.

And Shang Mingyuan, who walked out of the courtyard, slowly put away the smile on his face and quickly returned to the guest room. He glared angrily at the little guy who opened the door for him, and then carefully put the little golden Buddha on the table, and asked angrily, "What about Steward Zhao?" ”

"Steward Zhao went out."

Shang Mingyuan almost jumped up, "What is he running out to do at this time?" ”

The sun was about to go down, and it was getting dark.

The little girl pouted and said: "What else can I do, of course I went to find Uncle Zhao, uncle, you don't know, these days he has been going out early and returning late every day, and he has gone to Uncle Zhao to listen to errands, and those who don't know think he is a slave of the Zhao family." ”

The anger on Shang Mingyuan's face gradually subsided, and he said with a blue face: "Of course he is a slave of the Zhao family!" ”

followed the second aunt to marry, wasn't he a slave of the Zhao family before?

He snorted coldly and said, "You have been following me closely these days, and if he asks you about something, he must not reveal anything to me." ”

He paused and then sneered: "No, it's not allowed to tell me what I should say, hmph, I really thought I was afraid of them, and when I went back, I would find my grandmother, who is afraid of whom." ”
