Chapter 195: Divine Decree
After Lin Yu and Dong'er entered the city, they led their horses and walked towards the Zhuangyuan Mansion that they had been given in Stone Lane.
Lin Yu originally wanted to be a worshipper, and he didn't want a courtyard in the center of the outer city of Tiandu. But after all, it is the emperor's grace, if Lin Yu really shirks not wanting the champion mansion, it will be too ignorant.
When he left last time, Lin Yu settled all the golden spears and silver armor, champion seals and other things given by the emperor, as well as a group of servants given to him. This time back, seeing that several subordinates had taken care of this place in good order, Lin Yu couldn't help nodding secretly. If these simple people regard this place as their home, then treat them well.
"Your Excellency, you're back. An old man who looked like a housekeeper saw Lin Yu returning, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and talk. After learning that the master had returned, several other subordinates also hurriedly put down their work and ran to meet the master here.
"Hehe, Uncle Chen, when I'm not here, it's all up to you to take care of it, it's really hard for you. In the future, you will collect the monthly salary for me, and buy more things for everyone to eat and wear, and this is also your home. "Lin Yu doesn't have many subordinates, except for an old housekeeper, there are only two maids and three cooks and nurses.
When everyone heard the master say this, their hearts couldn't help but feel warm, and they secretly made up their minds to serve the young champion in front of them. With such a master, how can they, the current people, not have a heart-to-brain?
"Adults treat us like biological parents, Xiao Lao thanks you for everyone, we will take care of this for your heart. Uncle Chen bowed to Lin Yu again, and even several other subordinates bowed down one after another.
"Hehe, Dong'er and I just rushed back today, and we want to take a rest. What should you do, what are you going to do? Lin Yu smiled, waved his hand and walked into the main hall of the courtyard with Dong'er.
A few of the subordinates were also quite discerning, and the two guards stepped forward to take the black whirlwind and the bantam to the stable and feed them alive.
The other ran to the back kitchen to prepare tea and food for the two, and the two maids quickly went to the back hall to clean up the room for the two. Only Chen Bo followed Lin Yu and the others into the house.
"My lord, are you a little hungry all the way, do you want to have some food and rest?"
"Yes, that's very good. Lin Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip and nodded.
"Is this a young grandmother?" Uncle Chen also added tea to Dong'er, and asked with his head bowed to Lin Yu.
"Uh, Uncle Chen, I'm not a young grandmother, I'm Gongzi's maid, hehe. Dong'er drank the tea with a smile and smiled at Uncle Chen.
"Oh, so, old and polite. "You are a maid? How can there be a maid who sits with the master? You are old and dizzy, but I am not stupid enough to do that......
"By the way, Lord Qiqi, Lord Nangong of the Ministry of Industry came here the day before yesterday, and said that if the Lord returns, please come to his house to talk about it. ”
"Oh, Xiao Ming, he's also back? Well, counting the days, it's time for him and Ah Yao to take office. Hehe, I'll look for them tomorrow. Lin Yu was naturally very happy when he heard that Nangong Ming had come, but after thinking about it, when Nangong Ming came back, then Nangong Tingfang's little vinegar jar would also follow. Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't help but turn his head to look at Dong'er......
"Childe, what are you staring at others?" Dong'er saw Lin Yu's eyes suddenly staring at him, his pretty face couldn't help but turn red, and then he said strangely.
"Uh, nothing, hehe, nothing. Lin Yu came back to his senses and said with a smile.
"The old slave went to the back kitchen first to see how the meal was prepared. Seeing that the master and the young grandmother were flirting with each other, Uncle Chen naturally retreated......
After resting for the night, Lin Yu got up early, and because of his interest, he casually played the Tongjian that he often practiced in his childhood. After getting three shots in the sun, Lin Yu packed up and was about to go to the Wenju Champion Mansion in Nangong for a while. Although Lin Yu and Nangong Ming are just official positions of the fourth grade, it stands to reason that they are not qualified to live in this stone alley, but after all, they are the two gentlemen of civil and military affairs, and the royal family naturally has to do enough pomp. I don't know if it's intentional, the two of them are just on both sides of the stone alley, and they are several miles away from each other's small courtyards.
Although he didn't know if Nan Gong Tingfang would follow, for safety reasons, Lin Yu still decided not to take Dong'er alone. Unfortunately, before he could step out of the gate, he was stopped by a eunuch who looked to walk with a head and tail dangling quite a woman's posture.
"Well, isn't this Gonggong Li? What kind of wind blew you here?" Lin Yu couldn't help but give up his hand when he saw someone coming. Although this person is not familiar with it, he sent him the holy decree to enter the Golden Temple in high school. Moreover, although this person is extremely lacking in male characteristics, he is also a very talkative person, and both Lin Yu and Nangong Ming have a good impression of him.
"Ouch, this ghost weather is hot to death in our family, I said Zhuangyuanlang, don't you invite me to a cup of tea when you come to your house?" Father-in-law Li's rooster voice was still the same as before, which made Lin Yu hurriedly put on a smile and let him enter the hall.
"Father-in-law came to my house today, I'm afraid what's the matter?" After Father-in-law Li unceremoniously sat down as the host and guest in the main hall, Lin Yu personally poured him a cup of tea.
"Look at our family's mushy brains, patronizing the hot weather, and actually forgetting to get down to business. Since Gonggong Li stepped into the door, a pair of triangular eyes looked around.
It's a pity that Lin Yu has just entered this room, and he is not as wealthy as Nangong Ming, so there are no things such as welcoming bonsai and famous calligraphy and paintings in the main hall.
"I didn't expect Lin Zhuangyuan to be so diligent and thrifty, it really won our family's mind. Oh, this is a private letter from the emperor to you, no need to kneel, this is not a holy decree. Seeing Lin Yu's poor appearance, Gonggong Li expressed the disappointment in his heart. remembered that when he had just notified Nangong Ming, the other party secretly stuffed the silver ticket to him, and then looked at Lin Yu, who looked a little dull in front of him, he knew that he was afraid that there would be no oil and water on this trip......
"Fengtian carrier, my emperor's edict said, after the champion of Wuju returned to Beijing, he immediately set off to the imperial study room behind the Qianqing Palace, and there was something important to entrust. ”
"The grass people answered. Lin Yu knelt on his knees quite reluctantly, stretched out his hand and raised his head above the golden silk paper in Gonggong Li's hand.
"Well, the holy decree has also been received, and our family should have said a few homely words here, but after all, it is an important matter, so we will leave first. From beginning to end, Gonggong Li didn't glance at the tea on the table, and when he saw that Lin Yu was not only poor but also a little ignorant, he was displeased and wanted to get up and leave.
"Father-in-law, father-in-law, this is a special product brought back when the lower official returned home, and I ask my father-in-law to accept it. As soon as Gonggong Li stepped out of the door, Lin Yu followed closely and quietly stuffed a silver ticket into his sleeve robe.
Pang Tong said that when you go out, you can't do everything except money, and Lin Yu naturally understands the truth that the king of Hades is good at seeing little ghosts. In the future, if you walk among the royal family, the ** internal affairs manager in front of you will definitely be one of your connections.
"Hehe, you kid, hurry up and get ready to enter the palace to meet you. Gonggong Li's white and tender palm clenched the silver ticket that Lin Yu stuffed in, and slightly estimated that a silver ticket of this size would have to be as much as five hundred taels to say the least. nodded at Lin Yu with satisfaction, and put aside the idea just now in his heart.
For the sake of the silver ticket, Gonggong Li made an exception and walked all the way into the palace with Lin Yu, and the two talked and laughed, as if they had been friends for many years.
Before coming to the magnificent and solemn Yuanmen again, Lin Yu was still impressed by its towering and wide. Such a huge city gate and parapet wall, if it were not for the wings, I am afraid that no one would want to jump over.
After the two of them verified their identities, Lin Yu straightened his clothes and passed through the two halls of Ruilong and Qianqing, and finally came to the door of the imperial study. Along the way, every time he saw something, Gonggong Li would tell Lin Yu the origin and texture of the thing, and there was a sense of superiority in his words.
Lin Yu didn't care about him, just followed him with a smile, and let his duck-like voice come and go......
"Qi Yu Sheng, the champion Lang Lin Yu has arrived. "When you get here, it's not that Gonggong Li can come and go freely, and after he whispered a few words to Chief Manager Qi, he bent down and retreated.
"Yes, Xuan. Emperor Mingxuan put down the golden dragon glass cup in his hand and turned his head to look out of the door.
"Chen Linyu, please meet the saint. Lin Yuxing entered the house and found that Nangong Ming and a middle-aged man who was quite faceless at this moment were standing under His Royal Highness, especially Nangong Ming quietly grimaced at him.
"Well, get up. Just now, I have already explained a little about the reason why the two of you came this time, Yu Fengyi, you can explain a little more for Lin Yu. At the lower right of Emperor Mingxuan, a tall middle-aged man nodded yes.
"Lord Lin, in the next Yu Fengyi, I must believe that you and I already know each other. ”
"It turned out to be Yu Changtou, a long admiration. Lin Yu's face was straight, for one of the most feared officials in Daqian, Nangong Ming had already told Lin Yu about his background.
"Hehe, in the next few years in the officialdom, there is also some notoriety, as if anyone who has a relationship with me will not have a good result. However, since they both work for the emperor, please don't listen to the gossip of the court. ”
"This is natural. Lin Yu said with a fist at Yu Fengyi.
"Presumably, the two of them both knew that Situ Yulian was such a number one person when they were in the martial arts, and Lord Lin also competed with him. The extremely terrifying blood qi that emanated from him, after investigation by my subordinates, was related to the Mile Divine Sect in the northern Mengtianfu. Master Lin was from the Golden Sword Sect, so he naturally knew that your sect was also keeping a close eye on his every move. Originally, the government should not interfere too much in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but we have evidence that the Cult of the Lost God seems to have a great connection with some people who intend to rebel. Yu Fengyi's tone sank, and he said quite sternly.
"Rebellion, Mile Divine Sect, Situ Family?" Lin Yu frowned, he had destroyed one of their altars with the people of the Hualing Sect, but this kind of cult was actually linked to the Situ family of the rich and rival country, and even the word rebellion, which was a bit unexpected.
You must know that the master of the Situ family is already the master of what he wants, so why should he be willing to take risks and rebel if he wants to be prosperous and wealthy?......
As soon as he thought of this, the doubts in Lin Yu's heart became even greater......
(Cults, families, rebellions, and the shady scenes behind them, hehe, Lin Yu and Nangong Ming, the two newborn calves, are sharpening their horns and waiting to show their strength, although, perhaps, they are forced...... Oh, continue to ask for recommendations and collections, so that the kitten's thinking can ride the wings you give~~)
