Don't look at the eldest brother Ling Changfan, who is full of economy and wealth, but because his personality is too pedantic and old-fashioned, he is not favored by the nobles in the capital.

Especially those noble girls and young ladies, I heard that he was still in charge of family law at home, and he also used family law against his sister, so he was even more far away from him, so this marriage event once gave the old father a headache.

It happened that Ling Xi wanted to make new clothes that year, and tailor shops and cloth shops all over Kyoto sent materials to Ling Fu, and Fan Meilian and her cousin were also part of the delivery.

In this way, Fan Meilian met her eldest brother Ling Changfan, and fell in love with him at first sight, and soon married into the Ling Mansion and became the eldest young lady of the Ling family.

However, later, as Ling Changfan went to other places, the Fan family sisters and brothers left the Ling Mansion, and Ling Xi had little contact with their sisters and brothers.

This is the storyline memory that the original paper man possessed.

But Ling Xi, who has God's perspective, knows that the "chance encounter" between Fan Meilian and her eldest brother Ling Changfan is a well-planned scam.

"Miss, why did you suddenly ask about Shopkeeper Tang?" Hua Luo asked curiously.

"Oh, it's okay," Ling Xi avoided the topic very indifferently: "Give me the things, you go back, otherwise the eldest brother will come back and punish you together." ”

The paper man Ling Xi went offline early, and there was no role for her in Ling Changfan's story line in the original text.

However, Ling Xinyao, as the heroine, has a lot of rivalry with Fan Meilian's sister and brother.

Ling Xi had to digest the original text well, and find out the plot line that was beneficial to him from the rivalry between Ling Xinyao and Fan Meilian.

……

After Ling Changfan returned home, he went straight to the ancestral hall with a gloomy face.

Ling Xi had already received the news and hid everything he ate and drank.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, he knelt straight.

After Ling Changfan came in, he glanced at her silently, and walked to the ancestral tablet: "Get up!" ”

"Huh? Oh......" Ling Xi deliberately abruptly rubbed his knees and got up.

But then, she screamed in pain and sat back on the mat.

"It hurts, no, my leg hurts so much, big brother, will I be crippled......"

"Okay, I'll go back and ask Lang Zhong to show you your legs!"

"Thank you, big brother."

Ling Xi thanked pitifully, and exaggeratedly fell twice more when he got up, before he stumbled and limped out.

"I've seen Your Majesty!" Ling Changfan suddenly spoke behind her: "He said that after you get married, you will hand over the tax department to me to take care of!" ”

The Department of Salt and the Department of Revenue, which was the most important source of income for the treasury of the Great Dynasty.

Now the treasury is empty, because both the salt department and the tax department are in the hands of certain people, creating a monopoly situation.

Ling Xi stood suddenly, mentally guessing something, but still standing with his back to him, without turning around or speaking.

"Your Majesty and I have been talking for a long time and have said something about you...... He said, you've changed, you're not the same as before, well......"

As soon as the conversation changed, Ling Changfan thought of the key words: "I entered the palace today, in fact, in order to make His Majesty regret his marriage!" ”

"......" Ling Xi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

[You are really my big brother! 】

[When others hear that they want to be the uncle of the country, they can't wait to tell the world and let everyone know! ] 】

[It's good for you, I'm afraid that I won't die, and you'll stab me in the back! 】

【……】

This time, the small composition blocked Ling Changfan, but he guessed her mind and whispered.

"Do you know why I want His Majesty to withdraw from the marriage?"

Ling Xi pretended to be very dazed and turned around: "...... Big brother is, feel sorry for me? ”

“…… Flatter yourself!! ”

Ling Changfan was completely the expression of "you think too much".

He looked around solemnly and lowered his voice: "Because I don't want the Ling family to be martyred because of you, and die in the palace fight!" ”

Ling Xidai's eyebrows were slightly raised.

[Big brother still knows about Gong Dou!? 】

[I always thought he was a boring dead wood!] 】

[Unexpectedly, it's also a little interesting! 】

【……】

Ling Changfan was very unhappy with her slow half-beat reaction, frowned, and whispered: "What kind of expression do you have?" I'll tell you the right thing, with your brainless style, even if you become the queen, within three months, the Ling family will have to be wiped out by you! ”

Ling Xi's heart rippled: [It seems that the eldest brother is not as wooden as he seems! 】

[He also has a little ninety-nine in his heart! ] 】

[It's just that I want to confess the current situation to him and talk at night? 】

[Or, continue to pretend to be a brainless beauty who is stupid and sweet? ] 】

【……】

The description of Ling Changfan in the original text is limited to the pedantic wooden hanging.

Ling Xi wasn't sure if pulling such a character into his camp would affect the layout in the future.

Of course, if the "upright" character of the eldest brother is pretended, it will be a different matter.

Thinking of this, the clear stupidity in Ling Xi's eyes gradually faded.

She brushed the broken hair in front of her forehead, and her dark and dull eyes were filled with a broken smile: "So, what do you want to say when my eldest brother talks to me so much?" ”

Her changes obviously shocked Ling Changfan.

This kind of sharp eyes is the first time I have seen it from this silly sister.

"You're really ...... It's not the same as before. ”

I don't know whether he is relieved or relieved, the corners of his mouth are hooked up a trace of arc, like a laugh mark.

"Now, my father asked for a thorough investigation of the Salt Division, if Your Majesty hands over the Tax Division to me again, it means that our Ling family is in charge of the economic lifeline of the Great Imperial Dynasty, Ling Xi ...... Do you know what such a result is? ”

Ling Xi looked at him lightly, met his eyes, and was very calm: "The Ling family has become the target of public criticism, if it succeeds, our Ling family will be famous for thousands of years, and it will be famous in history, if it fails, our Ling family will be criticized by the history books, and it will be infamous for the ages!" ”

Ling Xi's answer once again impressed Ling Changfan.

He looked at her for a long time.

Finally, nodded: "Since you know, why do you want to wade into this troubled water?" With your appearance and your current ...... Wisdom, even if you don't be a queen, is also the honor and wealth of a lifetime! ”

"Eldest brother, you say, why are my father and third brother willing to help me and try their best to make me the queen of a country?"

“……”

Ling Xi did not inform the eldest brother about his future.

Because judging from the current situation, he will not easily believe anything.

The only thing that can make him break the defense is the attitude of his father and third brother.

Ling Changfan is the son of the Ling family, and he pays the most attention to the overall situation.

He will not allow the Ling family to be torn apart, and will definitely work with his family to achieve an ending.

Really.

At the mention of his father, Ling Changfan's expression became subtle.

After a long time, he bowed his head again: "Although I don't know how you persuaded my father, for now, I am willing to work with you to help you ascend to the throne of the queen." ”

Ling Xi smiled: "Big brother, don't worry, Your Majesty is pleased with me, and the position of queen must be mine." ”

Who knows, Ling Changfan shook his head meaningfully: "Not really! Your Majesty is pleased with you, but ...... Your position as queen will not be the biggest obstacle as you wish...... That's the kid! ”
