Not long after Lian Yi received the order to leave, Jixiang received a report from the little eunuch outside, he bent down and said to Lian Jingzhi: "Your Majesty, the queen mother has someone send a horseshoe cake. ”

"Niangniang said that Your Majesty has been busy with government affairs recently, and this horse's hooves are the most crisp and refreshing, I want you to try it."

Lian Jingzhi closed his eyes and pinched the root of his nose, he really felt a little boring on his body: "The queen has a heart, you let people put it down, and I will eat it." ”

A plate of horseshoe cake was quickly sent to the imperial case, and after the little eunuch serving on the side had eaten it without hindrance, Lian Jingzhi picked up a piece and ate it at will.

Xu Hu's incident made him a little annoyed, and the criss-crossing family forces in the court made him sleepless all night, unable to sleep and eat, and Lian Jingzhi sighed in his heart.

Did he complain a little about the first emperor: why did he say such words as "the four princes share the world with me", in the end, such a mess was taken over by him Lian Jingzhi.

The emperor held a piece of horseshoe in his hand, his eyes condensed in the void air, and began to think aimlessly about how to make good use of Xu Guogong's chess piece next.

*

After being inspired by Lin Yizhou, Gu Qingzhang urgently sent another batch of flying pigeons to the capital, wanting Lian Jingzhi to investigate Xu Hu's case carefully.

But three days later, he received only a brief reply with two words: "Don't ask." ”

Gu Qingzhang instantly understood that what happened after that was no longer something that he, a prince with no real power, could interfere with.

At the same time, on the other side, the south bank came to visit with a bunch of gifts.

Although he is still wearing filial piety clothes, his spiritual head is very different from before.

"Brother Gu," he led his subordinates all the way to the small building, and as soon as he saw Gu Qingzhang sitting on the stone, he called out affectionately, "This time my brother's matter is thanks to your help." ”

Gu Qingzhang was holding the small scroll of reply in his hand at this time, and when he heard his footsteps, he put away the reply letter, got up and patted his knee.

"You're welcome," he said, "that's what I do." ”

What exactly his duty was, South Bank didn't ask, and he didn't dare to ask.

Nan'an was smiling, enthusiastic and polite, directing his subordinates to place gifts.

At this time, the door on the first floor of the small building was pushed open, and Lin Yizhou walked out of the building.

Nan'an was slightly stunned when he saw him, and just wanted to ask something, Yue's happened to take Nanmu's hand and came out of the small building closely.

"Sister-in-law, mother," Nan'an nodded to them, quickly forgetting all that had just been in his mind, "the family business is done, and now I can take you back." ”

Yue's eyes rolled slightly, and he wanted to invite Lin Chonghan and them to dinner.

"It's really unfortunate," Lin Chonghan refused lightly, "My brother recently came back from other places, and I'm afraid it's inconvenient to go out now." ”

Yue's can only give up.

After the Nan family left, Lin Yizhou, who had been standing silently next to him, suddenly spoke up and said, "These people are not suitable to be friends. ”

"Originally, it was a nest of copper-smelling businessmen," Lin Shijing sneered, "something that is used to climbing up the pole." ”

Gu Qingzhang is also very aware of this, the low status of businessmen is indeed sympathetic, but throughout the ages, businessmen often have low-level people who can exploit them.

Sympathize with them, and seek justice for Nanyue, but you must not hook up with them, otherwise you will only be used by them.

After they finished speaking, Lin Chonghan asked Lin Yizhou: "Brother, since you have come to Suzhou, do you want to meet your grandmother?" ”

"No," Lin Yizhou shook his head indifferently, "There's no need." ”

Lin Shijing hugged his arms beside him, sighed twice, and said, "Our good big brother knows that you have suffered a lot of grievances in the Xiao family, and you don't want to give those people face." ”

Lin Chonghan nodded, since Lin Yizhou didn't go for this reason, then there was no need for her to say more.

"Then I'll go out first," she said to everyone, explaining in their puzzled eyes, "the day after tomorrow is the ninth day of the fifth month, and I have to go to Deyue Tower to order a table of food for my brother first." ”

The ninth day of May? Everyone was slightly stunned.

Lin Shijing, who was the first to react, was moved to tears and said, "It's better to be a sister, it's all in this situation now, and you can still remember to celebrate your second brother's birthday." ”

Lin Chonghan smiled slightly, and she said provocatively: "Second brother's birthday, no one in our family will forget it." You see that the eldest brother came to Suzhou this time, did he also want to come to celebrate your birthday? ”

Lin Shijing, who is immersed in emotion: ......

I did have this idea, but I didn't expect Lin Yizhou to be exposed: ......

The expressions on their faces were blank for a moment.

They subconsciously looked at each other, and invariably shook the goosebumps that appeared on their bodies at some point, and thought to themselves: Oh, this thing is still so disgusting......

Lin Chonghan didn't seem to be able to see the dark tide surging between the two brothers, she happily pulled the three of them and went out directly to Deyue Tower.

When they arrived at Deyue Tower, it was already past dinner, and when they were greeted by the store, Lin Chonghan briefly introduced their requirements.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "I won't tell you, if it's just a table of dishes, no matter how busy you are, we can have a table for you here." ”

"It's just that a guest just came, and he's going to get married in five days," the shopkeeper explained with a smile, "because I usually like to eat the dishes in our building, so I want to order some to eat at the banquet." ”

Lin Chonghan frowned: "Even if he wants to order dishes, it shouldn't be that every dish will be ordered, right?" ”

This is the difficulty, the shopkeeper had to explain to Lin Chonghan: "Of course not, it's just that every special dish has been ordered, and there are many of them, and we don't have so many dishes in the store for a while, and I'm afraid there will be no special dishes to serve these days." ”

While he was talking, a man suddenly came down upstairs, and the shopkeeper hurriedly pointed at him and said, "Look, guest, this is the one who ordered the food." ”

Lin Chonghan raised his head and met his eyes with Xiao Heming, who was going downstairs.

Xiao Heming was a little ashamed and embarrassed after seeing her, he remembered the things that had happened before, and both sides of his cheeks looked a little red because of this.

"Cousin, eldest cousin, second cousin, Hou Ye," but Xiao Heming still stepped forward to say hello, "Are you here to eat in Deyue Tower?" ”

After explaining to the shopkeeper on the side, Xiao Heming suddenly smiled, and instructed the shopkeeper: "This is my cousin, and it is also a family, you can just give them a table of dishes, and deduct it from me." ”

Lin Chonghan thanked him, and then asked: "Cousin, didn't you say that the marriage date was still early, why are you going to get married in five days?" ”

Both of them tacitly did not mention that Xiao and Ming ran away from home and had a place to belong.

"Well, you know," he said, a little depressed, "since I was rescued by my cousin in a boat, my mother has gone crazy and ordered me to marry in five days. ”
