Chapter 42: The Controversy of a Hundred Flowers
Li Xuzhi was chatting with Lin Mengchu when he was speechless in pain, and happened to catch a glimpse of the thing in Shi Xin's arms.
"You're ......"
"I wanted to ask the Seventh Prince to find a craftsman to help make a new one, but unfortunately, the people under the Seven Princes said they couldn't do it."
Li Xuzhi asked, but Lin Mengchu somehow blurted out that he didn't have any precautions.
Li Xuzhi took one in Shi Xin's hand, thought about it, and seemed to have made up his mind.
"If you believe me, leave it to me."
Li Xuzhi glanced up at Lin Mengchu.
Lin Mengchu thought twice and nodded.
"That's bothering Li Gongzi, but if Li Gongzi can be faster, I will want it in the next two days."
She must not go to the princess's mansion tomorrow, these two things are difficult to do after all, but no matter how long she can't fight for Li Xu.
It stands to reason that the day after she received the title of Hundred Flowers Girl, she should worship Princess Xie Jing as his wife.
Hearing that the time was so tight, Li Xuzhi's eyebrows did not move, so he responded.
"Second sister, are you back? Shopping outside, is there something to be gained? ”
As soon as Lin Mengchu returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lin Furong looked at Lin Mengchu with great concern.
"If the second sister chooses a gift, why don't you go to visit Princess Xie Jing tomorrow."
"Thank you Sister Shu for your concern, I'm afraid I won't be able to go tomorrow, when I go out today, I will crutch my foot, if I limp to the princess's mansion, it will be disrespectful to Princess Jing again."
said that Lin Mengchu used the excuse to return to his courtyard to recuperate for a day.
Looking at Lin Mengchu's distant back, Lin Furong smiled disdainfully, working hard and being contented for a long time!
A day later, Li Xuzhi did send someone to send the two pairs of wood carvings to Shixin in advance, and then transferred them to Lin Mengchu.
Lin Mengchu was startled when he saw this pair of identical wood carvings.
Unexpectedly, Li Xuzhi is not only Wen Taowu and has no inconvenience, but even this craftsman has unique skills.
Thinking of what the Seven Princes said by the craftsman, Lin Mengchu's mind flashed with such a conjecture: Could this Li Xuzhi also be related to the Lu family?
"Second sister, are you ready?"
Before Lin Mengchu walked out of the yard, Lin Furong found the door, as if she was not worried at all that Lin Mengchu would see anything unusual about her.
In this regard, Lin Mengchu smiled and said that Lin Furong is so tricky.
The more Lin Furong is revealed, the more there is no shadow of Lin Furong in her heart.
It's just that in her previous life, she faced her aunt and Lin Furong, she fell too badly, too hard, and she was Lin Furong's stupid and big sister, and she couldn't ignore it.
When Lin Furong glanced at these puppets, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
Lin Mengchu put the wood carving into a wooden box and handed it to Shi Xin.
"Since my sister is in a hurry, let's go."
Lin Mengchu took Lin Furong and came to Princess Jing's mansion like this.
Lin Mengchu was exposed to Princess Jing's Mansion in his early years, so the servants in Princess Jing's Mansion also knew a little about Lin Mengchu, so he easily invited Lin Mengchu into the door.
Seeing that Xia Chi had now easily walked into the gate of the princess's mansion, Lin Furong, who had a smile on her face, flashed a trace of gloom in her eyes.
"See Princess Jing, the fifteenth prince."
"See Princess Jing, the fifteenth prince."
Sure enough, when this time came, I once again saw that the fifteenth prince was still in Princess Jing's mansion.
As soon as Zhou Xuanxi saw Lin Mengchu, his eyes lit up, and he was directly snubbed by Zhou Xuanxi next to Lin Mengchu, and he didn't even have white eyes.
"You're finally here, but this prince has a lot of questions for you!"
"This time, Princess Duojing took care of her, so the courtiers went to find some fresh objects, so it was too late."
Lin Mengchu hurriedly explained his intentions, and then, Shi Xin handed the box in his arms to Xue Sirong.
Xue Sirong showed Princess Jing, and Zhou Xuanxi also followed, opened the box and looked at it.
"What is this?"
When Zhou Xuanxi put the two wooden lions on the table without a teacher, the two wooden lions gradually approached because of the twisting of the string!
Seeing this scene, Princess Jing was even more quick to see it.
For Zhou Xuanxi, under a series of contacts, Lin Meng first entered Zhou Xuanxi's heart, that is, the same word "fun".
Zhou Xuanxi put down the wooden lion and grabbed Mu Feng's hand again.
Mu Feng's big wings, and one piece after another of wood feathers, are combined layer by layer, which is quite layered and three-dimensional.
Due to the spirit of the wings, as long as Zhou Xuanxi touches the mechanism, this wooden phoenix is like an ordinary living creature, dexterously flapping its wings.
The two puppets, although not colored, have an unusually smooth surface and a unique texture.
"Aunt Huang, look, is it fun?"
Zhou Xuanxi is just a child, facing the most painful and believing people, when he gets good things, he often thinks of the word sharing.
So, Zhou Xuanxi happily lifted the item for Princess Jing to see.
Even these two points, in fact, Lin Mengchu's banner is for Princess Jing to see.
As soon as Princess Jing's words were finished, Xue Sirong handed the waist card to Lin Mengchu.
Lin Mengchu, who has this waist card, will never dare to stop him when he enters and exits the princess's mansion!
Lin Furong suddenly "cared" about Lin Mengchu very much, with an expression of annoyance for Lin Mengchu's mistake.
"Sister Lao Shu bothered."
Lin Mengchu did not answer Lin Furong directly.
Princess Jing's eyes flashed, and then she looked at the two puppets that Zhou Xuanxi was playing with, and then at Lin Mengchu, but she still didn't speak after all.
Zhou Xuanxi, who was playing and making trouble, saw this scene and secretly grimaced.
It seems that this Lin Furong is about to find trouble with Lin Mengchu, but the imperial aunt is not ready to help Lin Mengchu.
Lin Mengchu's current sin is purely caused by the emperor's aunt.
"Princess, Lord Wu asks to see you."
At this time, a guard stepped forward to report to Princess Jing with a slight panic.
As soon as I heard Lord Wu's title, Princess Jing's face was not good-looking.
There is a way that the way for officials to protect each other and be officials will inevitably form a party for personal gain, and they will not be able to mix well when they reach the court, and they will be suppressed by others.
But in this turbid official road, Wu Yong is an outlier.
Among the ministers of the Great Zhou State, Wu Yong was a thorn.
As soon as that temper came up, whether it was the emperor's relatives or high-ranking officials and ministers, they all treated them equally, and vowed to get the Son of Heaven's violations and the crimes of the common people to the end!
Wu Yong's temper is not very good, but he is a little smart, he really has a heart to serve the people? I think he's a very honest man.
Naturally, when it comes to some faces in officialdom, Wu Yong seems that it is all nonsense.
So even when Lin Mengchu heard the words "Lord Wu", he was also a little frightened, and his temples suddenly ached.
Unlike Lin Mengchu's brain pain, Lin Furong heard that Lord Wu was coming, and she was quick to see and smile, and the show began.
Wu Yong can be regarded as a rare clear stream in the officialdom, so although Wu Yong often offends some powerful people, the emperor always protects him.
Otherwise, Wu Yong would have died 10 times and 8 times earlier.
However, the emperor was restrained, and he was troubled by Wu Yong's too upright temper, and he caused trouble for himself, and for this reason, Wu Yong's position was not promoted for a long time.
"Invite Lord Wu in."
Princess Jing couldn't exclude Wu Yong.
If Wu Yong has a lawsuit in his hands and has to enter the princess's mansion, it will be Princess Jing's opposition, and Wu Yong will also have to find a way to break in.
Instead of being humiliated, Princess Jing invited Wu Yong to join her, so as not to lose face.
"Minister, Wu Yong, see Her Royal Highness Princess Jing, Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose."
Wu Yong is in his early thirties, with a very square face, dark complexion, and he looks honest and fearful, with no characteristics, a very ordinary appearance, but it is better than a pair of eyes that are clearer.
"Lord Wu is here, what are you doing?"
Princess Jing didn't pay much attention to Wu Yong, but protected the amusement of the fifteenth prince.
Wu Yong's displeased brows tightened, and then he didn't look at Princess Jing and the fifteenth prince again.
"Back to the princess's words, today there are two bitter lords who sued the yamen, saying that someone coerced and lured them to take away their family heirlooms, so as to curry favor with the powerful. As the prefect of Kyoto, the minister is beyond his strength, and I hope the princess can understand. ”
Saying that, Wu Yong yelled as soon as he turned around.
"Bring the bitter lord up!"
Then Wu Yong waited for Princess Jing to answer the phone, and first spoke to let Princess Jing take eye medicine.
"Princess Jing is the most noble princess of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and she will definitely understand the suffering of the people and be willing to make decisions for these bitter masters. Princess Jing Shengming will not be confused by others, and the dog will fight against people. ”
Hearing Wu Yong say this, Lin Mengchu was called unpleasant.
Lin Mengchu dared to conclude that the "dog" in Wu Yong's mouth must be himself.
Lin Mengchu's brows were furry, and he didn't like it very much, thinking that Wu Yong's temper was destined for him to only do the position of prefect.
If you know how to be flexible a little, in fact, Wu Yong can do more for the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Only when he reaches a certain height, then he can touch more things, and truly ask for the people's lives.
Some people say that Wu Yong doesn't want to go along with others in doing this, but there are few Qingming sages, but in Lin Mengchu's mind, Wu Yong is just the head of a fish and wood, stupid!
"Please princess make decisions for the little people."
Wu Yong had just swallowed Princess Jing's eye medicine, and the bitter master was brought along.
Which of the imperial magnates is not face-loving.
As soon as Wu Yong ate it just now, he waited to be slapped and smashed his head and face at Princess Jing, which made Princess Jing extremely annoyed.
However, it was two pieces of wood carving, but Princess Jing was just shaken by Wu Yong's fish-wood head, and Concubine Jing's heart was extremely angry.
Seeing that Princess Jing's face was getting worse and worse, Lin Furong smiled slightly.
The Hundred Flowers Girl is not something that can be done by talent alone, but with a noble character.
In order to please Princess Jing, Lin Mengchu snatched the people's family heirlooms and made Princess Jing's holy name involved.
Looking at Princess Jing's ugly face, Lin Furong was naturally overjoyed, this title of Hundred Flowers Girl belonged to her!
The bitter lord with a sad face turned to Lin Mengchu.
"The little one knows that you are the prime minister's daughter. The two carvings, but the grass people have been passed down from generation to generation, and they use agarwood. Although the grass people's families are poor, they have always been reluctant to sell them. ”
After speaking, the bitter master kowtowed to Lin Mengchu's body with a "bang", and after a while, his forehead was bruised.
"The grass people beg you, Miss, return those two things to the grass people. I will pay you back the two hundred taels of silver you gave. ”
Listening to the bitter master, the two wood carvings that are not big or small are actually made of agarwood, and they are all surprised to bypass Lin Mengchu.
