I write novels to become a saint

Chapter 201 Apologize, and he deserves it?

In Yong'an Palace, Jian Qiu smiled and came to Yong'an who was sitting in the gazebo sulking, "Your Highness, Master Lin is back, I heard that he has already entered Chang'an City."

"If you come back, you will come back, so what?"

Yong'an pouted, looking nonchalant, but her expression still betrayed her, obviously her heart was no longer in Yong'an Palace.

Jian Qiu couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help joking, "Your Highness, aren't you going to meet Mr. Lin?"

"I don't want to!"

"A mere dog slave, he should be the one who came to see me."

Yong'an refused without hesitation, thinking arrogantly in his heart, "I'm a dignified princess, don't I want to lose face?"

Jian Qiu didn't tell the truth, and went to pour Yong'an a cup of chrysanthemum tea without fire.

Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, Yong'an, who was sitting in the gazebo, began to fidget, obviously very angry, and muttered, "You dog slave, don't come to see me, don't come to see me..."

Jianqiu watched it amusedly, but he couldn't be too disrespectful to his master, so he could only try his best to hold back his laughter, but it happened that Yong'an saw it, and Yong'an was so angry that he stared angrily and stomped his feet on the spot.

After a while, Yong'an finally lost his composure, stepped out of the gazebo, and said to the steward, Xiao Guizi, "Let's go out of the palace!"

"Dog slave, you must teach him a good lesson this time!"

While Yong'an was speaking viciously, she couldn't wait to walk towards the palace gate.

However, just as he walked out of the backyard, he saw Lin Qian who had also just walked to the front yard.

"Dog slave, you are here!"

Flowers bloomed on Yong'an's face, all the unhappiness just now dissipated in an instant, and he ran towards Lin Qian excitedly.

Jianqiu at the back shook his head, His Highness lost his mind!

"Your Highness, this is a Hongdu specialty pastry, try it."

Lin Qian also had a smile on his face. He took out a food box from his finger and handed it to Yong'an.

Yong'an took the food box and sat down impatiently at the stone table in the front yard. He opened the food box and looked at the exquisite pastries inside. His heart was already as sweet as honey, so he took out a pastry and put it in the In his mouth, he took a light bite and narrowed his eyes slightly, like a lazy cat enjoying petting.

Seeing Yong'an's appearance, Lin Qian couldn't help but smile even more happily. Hongdu's pastry is indeed delicious, but not so delicious. Lin Qian knows it because he gave this pastry!
Then he took out a few bolts of cloth from the Spatial Wrench again, and handed them to Jian Qiu at the side, asking them to put them away so that they could be made into clothes for Yong'an.

This is a special embroidery handicraft in Hongdu. Various auspicious patterns are punctured on the cloth. It takes a female worker three to five months to complete a piece of cloth, so it is also very valuable, but its beauty is naturally not General cloth can be compared.

Hongdu embroidery is also well-known in Daqian.

"Dog slave, you come to eat too!"

Yong'an hadn't finished eating a pastry, so he waved Lin Qian over and shared it with Lin Qian.

But after eating two yuan, she felt a little bit reluctant, so she stingily closed the lid of the food box, and ordered Jianqiu to put it away, she wanted to eat it later.

Lin Qian smiled, "If you like it, I'll send you some every once in a while."

"No, this is the first time you gave me food, I have to eat slowly!"

Yong'an clearly expressed his heart, and then he took Lin Qian to play backgammon and hopscotch for a while. Lin Qian looked at the sky and could only bid farewell to Yong'an. here we go.

Yong'an pouted, although he was extremely reluctant, he did not stop Lin Qian.

If it was Yong'an in the past, Lin Qian would not be able to leave without saying anything. After going through so many things, she still has some changes after all.

……

Back at the Duke of Zhen's mansion, the mansion was already brightly lit, and Lin Zhen and the others were not in the small courtyard before, but came to a larger and more spacious compound. Fortunately, Lin Zhen greeted the porter in advance , The concierge brought Lin Qian over.

At this time, many people were already sitting in the courtyard, and the buzzing sound of discussions in the courtyard set off the whole Lin Mansion. There was also a special person at the courtyard gate who was responsible for singing loudly the gifts of the guests, which was regarded as a public execution, but This is the etiquette of Dagan.

The concierge took Lin Qian straight to the only hall in the compound. There were only three tables in the hall. Obviously, only people with high status could enter this hall, which was the so-called entry into the hall.

At this time, apart from the table in the center of the main hall, the other two tables were still empty. The big shots usually appeared last, so the big shots who could enter the big hall naturally wouldn't come so early.

And the table in the middle is all people from the Lin family. Dongyang Hou Lin Zhenbei is already sitting on the table, including Lin Zhen and Lin Xinyun. On the contrary, it is Lin Hong who is not sitting in the main hall, but sitting at the table. At a table outside the hall near the main hall.

Not only Lin Hong, but all the children of Lin Qian's third generation were not eligible to enter the hall.

This naturally made them look unkindly at Lin Qian and the three of them. When they thought about it, even if Lin Qian and the three of them had suffered a lot in exile, the head of the family, Lin Zhenbei, wanted to make up for them, so there was no need for them to do so. Big face.

When Lin Qian also entered the hall and sat down, Lin Hong's face became ugly, especially when he thought about what happened in the afternoon, he became more and more angry.

With a thought, he summoned the three generations of the family and walked to the main hall.

Brother Lin Hong died when he was five years old, so now he is the eldest son of Marquis of Dongyang, and he will definitely inherit the title of Marquis of Dongyang in the future. In addition, he is also very competitive, and he is already a seventh-rank Haoran before he is 30 years old After Jing Confucianism cultivation, in the Lin family, he is the leader of the three generations of children. If he takes the lead, everyone will naturally gather to respond and follow into the main hall.

The guests in the courtyard didn't know what happened, they just thought that the children of the Lin family wanted to celebrate Dongyang Hou's birthday in advance.

"father."

Lin Hong entered the main hall and saluted Lin Zhenbei respectfully.

Lin Zhenbei nodded, looked at Lin Hong, and waited for the next sentence. He knew his son, and if it wasn't for something, he wouldn't do such an outrageous thing.

"Luo Cheng, son of Luo Zun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came here today."

"You treat Mr. Luo well."

Lin Zhenbei nodded to express his approval. Although Luo Zun is still the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, everyone knows that he is the uncrowned Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Lin Hong's friendship with Luo Cheng will naturally be of great help to his future official career. It will be of great benefit to him all his life, and he will certainly affirm that he can make friends with Luo Cheng.

But with Luo Cheng's status, he was not enough to enter this hall. If Luo Zun came in person, he would be qualified.

"Master Luo has already left."

Lin Hong's tone was a little angry and regretful, and he seemed to be trying his best to suppress the grievance. With that appearance, those who didn't know thought how much wronged he had suffered.

"Oh?"

Lin Zhenbei was puzzled and left as soon as he left. Why did Lin Hong make such an expression?Could it be that Luo Cheng dared to insult the eldest son of the Marquis of Dongyang?
"Originally the second brother and Mr. Luo had a very happy conversation and hit it off right away, but unfortunately, all of this was ruined by some people."

At this moment, Lin Yu, who was standing behind Lin Hong, looked at Lin Qian with fiery eyes, "Mr. Luo wanted to meet someone today, but I didn't expect that person to be so arrogant that he didn't even give Mr. Luo face, and just left. .”

"Being treated like this, Mr. Luo will naturally not have a good face, and he will no longer talk to my brother, and he left after a while."

Lin Yu is the daughter of Lin Qian's second uncle, Lin Pingxi. Although she and Lin Hong are not biological siblings, she has admired Lin Hong since she was a child. Before Lin Hong could speak, she began to complain about Lin Hong.

"what?"

"Hong'er, is what Xiaoyu said true?"

At this moment, a woman sitting beside Lin Zhenbei spoke anxiously.

Although Lin Yu didn't say who the certain person was, she kept looking at Lin Qian, so it was self-evident who the "someone" was.

"Yes."

A trace of helplessness and anger flashed again in Lin Hong's eyes. He thought that Lin Qian had ruined his chance, but he still had to do his best on the surface. "Maybe there is something wrong with the boy. Let Mr. Luo's attitude Change, leave without saying goodbye."

Although he said that, everyone knew the reason, so the entire table of the Lin family looked at Lin Qian and the three of them with anger in their eyes.

Military generals in troubled times and civil servants in prosperous times are naturally not considered prosperous times, but at least they have been in peace for many years, and the status of generals has naturally declined a lot. Many generals plan to train their descendants to become Confucian scholars in order to continue the family.

But they themselves were born as vulgar warriors, and the probability of their descendants producing the seeds of reading is naturally pitifully small, so that they actually developed a kind of blind worship and respect for scholars.

What's more, Duke Zhen has passed away for some time now, and even the Duke's title has not been preserved. Naturally, the Lin family is declining and is being looked down upon more and more. This is also the reason why Lin Hong worked hard to make friends with these people.

That woman was even trembling with anger, she was Luo Cheng, the son of Luo Zun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials!

Missing the opportunity to make friends with him is missing a great opportunity.

She turned her head to look at Lin Zhenbei who was at the side, her meaning was very clear, she wanted Lin Zhenbei to give her and Lin Hong an explanation.

Standing behind Lin Hong, Lin Yu looked at his eldest brother with pity in his eyes. It was obvious that someone was arrogant and made a mistake, but his eldest brother was unwilling to expose him and took the responsibility himself. He really, I cry to death!
However, Lin Qian felt a little funny. This Lin Hong was still too immature and wanted to pretend to be a white lotus. If he really thought that Luo Cheng left because he did something wrong, he would not have entered this hall.

"Although Xiaofeng of our family is a bit playful, eating, drinking and having fun, he has not delayed the business. The child of the third family..."

At this time, the woman sitting next to Lin Pingxi said with a gleeful smile that although they didn't know Lin Qian's identity, they knew through Lin Zhenbei that the three of them were Lin Xiaonan's children.

"It's a good thing that the third child left early, otherwise, seeing the appearance of his children, I'm afraid he would die of anger..."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Qian and the three of them suddenly changed their colors.

"enough!"

Before the woman finished speaking, Lin Zhenbei slapped the table, covering the woman with the aura of a fifth-rank martial artist, and the atmosphere in the hall became gloomy for a while.

Under this kind of momentum, the woman shut up immediately, but her eyes were full of dissatisfaction when she lowered her head.

"Brother, although Xiaoyun's words are a bit harsh, they are still reasonable."

At this time, Lin Pingxi stood up and blocked the pressure of his elder brother for the woman, and said at the same time, "Although my Lin family was sorry for the third brother back then, we can't spoil them and let them do anything wrong. Now the third brother is not here." Now, those of us who are older brothers should also discipline him for him."

These words immediately resonated with everyone in the hall. Everyone looked at Lin Qian with anger, ridicule, and the desire to avenge their revenge.

At this moment, Lin Qian seemed to be abandoned by the whole world.

Of course, they didn't seem to realize that the disappointment in Lin Zhenbei's eyes was not for Lin Qian, but for the rest of the Lin family. No wonder the old man would rather exchange his life for Lin Qian's, because the entire Lin family is qualified to sell the Lin family Lin Qian was the only one who carried forward.

The rest of the people are all wine bags and rice bags.

"Second, this time, you are wrong!"

Lin Zhenbei opened his mouth, and then he looked at Lin Hong sternly. Lin Hong's clumsy acting skills couldn't fool Lin Qian, and naturally he couldn't fool Lin Zhenbei either. These insidious tricks, get out of here now and go back to my small courtyard, and don't leave the mansion for three months."

"Why?"

Before Lin Hong could answer, the woman sitting next to him also slapped the table and stood up, "This incident is not Hong'er's fault, and he should be punished if he is to be punished!"

The woman pointed at Lin Qian, "He ruined Hong'er's chance, he should apologize to Hong'er, Mr. Luo!"

"Yes, he should be asked to apologize to Mr. Luo now, to plead guilty to Mr. Luo, maybe Mr. Luo will forgive him if he has a lot, and Hong'er still has a chance to redeem."

The more the woman spoke, the more polite she felt, and she even wanted Lin Qian to apologize to Luo Cheng impatiently.

At this moment, Lin Qian stood up, chuckled, and said, "Apologize, does he deserve it?"

Seeing Lin Qian getting up, Lin Zhenbei was about to say something, so he stopped talking and sat back instead.

At the beginning, he regretted that he didn't tell everyone Lin Qian's real identity, but now, he is a little glad that he didn't, because it also allowed him to see the true face of his family members - a group of indistinguishable people. trash!
At this moment, he finally made up his mind that the title of Marquis of Dongyang can only be handed over to Lin Qian, and it can only be handed over to Lin Qian.

"you……"

The woman was at a loss for words, she didn't expect Lin Qian to be so courageous, to say such a thing.

The atmosphere in the venue suddenly froze. She usually said what she said at home, and no one had dared to refute it. Now that Lin Qian scolded her, she didn't know how to respond.

"Bold, is that how you talk to elders?"

It was Lin Pingxi who turned his head, looked at Lin Qian viciously, and scolded him angrily.

"I respect you, so I call you the second uncle. You respect yourself, and you are the elder."

Lin Qian stood proudly, ignoring the eyes of the audience, and chuckled again, "What is he, Luo Cheng, who deserves me to come and apologize in person?"

"you……"

This time, even Lin Pingxi was choked. He didn't expect Lin Qian to be so arrogant.

"Okay, okay! You have no respect, I will teach you a lesson for the third brother today, so as not to provoke someone you can't provoke in the future, you can just seek death yourself, don't implicate my Lin family."

As he spoke, Lin Pingxi raised his hand and slapped Lin Qian.

"enough!"

Lin Pingxi's wrist was grabbed by Lin Zhenbei. This time, his face was gloomy, but his next words were shocking, "Qian'er has the right to say that!"

"What kind of thing is Luo Cheng? Is he worthy of Qian'er's apology?"

"What is Lin Hong? Is he worthy of Qian'er's apology?"

"Don't say that Qian'er is right, even if it is true, you are not qualified!"

The hall fell into complete silence. Everyone looked at Lin Zhenbei, thinking that he had lost his mind. The woman beside Lin Zhenbei, who was Lin Hong's mother and Lin Zhenbei's official wife, dared not Looking at Lin Zhenbei in confidence, "You are crazy, Hong'er is your son!"

"Mao Jiuhua, the imperial censor of the capital, Mr. Mao is here!"

At this moment, the porter outside the courtyard suddenly called out loudly, breaking the frozen atmosphere in the hall.

The Lin family members with different expressions restrained all their emotions and put on smiling faces. Lin Pingxi greeted them even more with a smile. Obviously, this imperial censor is his relationship.

Even though Qiandu Yushi is only a fourth-rank official, Beijing officials are no better than local officials. They are also fourth-rank officials. There is no comparison between the prefect and Qiandu Yushi.

What's more, the censor is also a speech officer, which can be said to be the most noble official position, and the censor of Qiandu has been able to walk sideways on most occasions.

"Hahaha, brother Jiuhua can come, it's really flourishing!"

"Dongyang Hou Shouchen, no matter how busy he is, he still has to come in person."

"Brother Mao, please be polite, please, please come inside!"

Speaking of Lin Pingxi welcoming Mao Jiuhua into the hall, Lin Zhenbei was still sitting in the hall at this time. As the Marquis of Dongyang, he was not qualified to stand up and greet Mao Jiuhua even if he didn't look at Lin Pingxi. In terms of face, whether Mao Jiuhua can enter the hall is also in doubt.

Lin Hong and the others had also left the hall just now and sat down outside the hall.

After Mao Jiuhua entered the hall, he also clasped his fists to Lin Zhenbei and saluted, "I have seen Dongyang Hou, I wish you a prosperous sun and moon, Songhe and Changchun!"

"Mao Yushi is polite, please sit down."

Lin Zhenbei just nodded slightly. Although the censor is noble, in the eyes of his master, that's all. He will not intentionally offend, but he will not stand up to greet him like Lin Pingxi.

Mao Jiuhua obviously understood this too, so he didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he happily found a seat on the right table with a smile on his face, because the left side was reserved for big shots, and he was self-aware.

It's just that he looked at the three young faces on the main table, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart, he had never heard of such a character in the Lin family before, when will the third generation of the Lin family be able to sit on the main table?

He remembered that when he came in, Lin Hong, the best son of the three generations of the Lin family, was sitting outside.

After Mao Jiuhua's arrival, it seemed that the prelude had been kicked off, and there was an endless stream of people who came to celebrate his birthday.

"Minister of Rites, Bai Jingyun."

"The governor of the military governor's mansion, Lu Hexiang."

"The Censor of Zuodu, Cao Yubian..."

These people are related to Er Bolin and Pingxi, and some came for Lin Zhenbei. Of course, most of them came for the face of Lao Zhen Guogong.

Even when Yue Dalai, Minister of the Ministry of War, came in person, the Lin family went straight out of the hall to greet him. Even Lin Zhenbei felt a little flattered.

Although Lin Zhenbei is the Marquis of Dongyang, the title of marquis is only honor and has no real power. Lin Zhenbei's official position is only the servant of the Ministry of War, and Yue Dalai is still his immediate boss. He can come in person, which can be said to be enough for Lin Zhenbei. face.

Lin Zhenbei also understood that Yue Dalai was giving Zhen Guogong face.

There was an endless stream of guests. Lin Hong sat outside the hall, looking coldly at the three of Lin Qian who were ignored, feeling resentful and proud at the same time.

If it wasn't for the inappropriate occasion, he really wanted to go in and ask Lin Qian now, does he still feel that connections are useless?
If Luo Cheng hadn't left in the afternoon, perhaps Luo Zun, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, would come now, and when he went up to greet him, he would be able to show off in front of so many guests. Just thinking about it made Lin Hong tremble with excitement.

It's a pity that Lin Qian ruined all of this, and the more he thought about it, the more he got angry.

At this time, the guests had almost arrived, the three tables in the hall were already full, and the courtyard outside was almost full, which made the Lin family very happy. Although the old man had left, the Lin family hadn't fallen yet.

In the hall, the second aunt, the eldest aunt, and Lin Pingxi also looked at Lin Qian and the three of them coldly. Of course, they could also think of things that Lin Hong could think of. While they were angry, they also wanted to show off. Look , This is the benefit of networking!
Lin Hong's mother thought that Lin Qian had spoiled her son's chances, and the more she thought about it, the more she thought about it, and she couldn't help but whispered, "Some people are so arrogant, I don't know who is here for you? "

It can only be said that like a mother like a son, Lin Hong's temperament must come from his mother.

Lin Qian chuckled, and was about to say something, when the concierge's chorus sounded again outside the courtyard, "Master She Shuyongyu, Minister of the Household Department, is here!"

Hearing this voice, Lin Zhenbei was taken aback for a moment. He didn't remember the relationship between the Lin family and She Shuyong. Why did he come to celebrate his birthday today?

Lin Zhenbei was a little apprehensive, because the people who came today were not necessarily to celebrate his birthday, and it was unknown if they came to make trouble.

The guests in the courtyard were also a little surprised. They were all good friends with the Lin family. They also knew something about the relationship of the Lin family, but they had never heard of the relationship between the Lin family and the servant of the household department.

Some of the officials who were considering how to deal with the relationship with the Lin family began to waver. They originally thought that the Lin family would slowly decline after Mr. Lin's death, but now it seems that the Lin family's background is still there, and there are many trump cards they don't know .

They didn't think that the servant of the household department was here to make trouble, and the birthday banquet was a big deal, if they came to make trouble today, it would be an endless enemy.

"Perhaps they came to find me!"

At this time, Lin Pingxi stood up, his cheeks flushed with excitement, "A few days ago, when I was drinking with Bu Chongzhuo, the head of the household department, he said that he wanted to introduce me to Mr. Yu. Brother Bu and I The relationship is inseparable, Brother Bu and Master Yu are from the same hometown and the same age, so they have a very good relationship."

Hearing this, Lin Zhenbei heaved a sigh of relief and showed a gratified smile. The second brother usually eats, drinks and plays, but it is not useless.
