Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 62 Yu Qian is coming?

Lin Cunde sat there and considered whether he should tell Zhu Ji. After all, it was about whether Zhu Qiyu could control the structure of the court and whether he could truly hold the power. If not, according to the historical trend, Zhu Qiyu would probably have no problem, but in the end What the outcome will be, it's hard to say.

If he said it and it was spread, I'm afraid there would be trouble. What's more, the two uncles were still there, and he had just been careless.

"Well, it's really difficult. I guess I didn't expect it!" Lin Cunde quickly made a decision. It would be better not to tell Zhu Ji about this matter. Next time he has a chance, he can tell Zhu Qiyu directly and let Zhu Qiyu give Zhu Ji instructions. Go and do it.

After Zhu Ji heard this, he was slightly disappointed, but he still smiled and said: "It's difficult. It's embarrassing for you, but it doesn't matter. Many people probably have no idea!"

Lin Cunde nodded and began to pour tea for Zhu Ji and the others.

Then Lin Cunde asked Zhu Ji about the current situation in the court. Zhu Ji knew a lot, and he knew many secret things of officials. Of course, Zhu Ji would not tell him directly, but would remind him indirectly. Lin Cunde also Of course, Lin Yunqi and Lin Zhenshan could understand it, and they also remembered Zhu Ji's reminder.

At noon, Lin Cunde invited them to have dinner in the dining room. After dinner, Lin Yunqi and Lin Zhenshan felt that Zhu Ji might have something to do with Lin Cunde, so they left first.

Lin Cunde also took Zhu Ji to the study again.

"Brother Cunde, why did your Majesty come here yesterday?" Zhu Ji asked directly.

After hearing this, Lin Cunde smiled bitterly and said: "My two uncles came here to inquire about this just now. In fact, His Majesty is really bored and has nowhere to go. He seemed restrained when he went to Wang Shibo's house. Hearing that I bought a mansion, isn't this? I just wanted to come and see my new mansion. When I came here, I took His Majesty to visit the mansion. In the afternoon, His Majesty took a short nap! He went back after dinner in the evening! "

"Well, that's right. It's not because I'm curious about my brother, but because my father-in-law is curious!" Zhu Ji also clasped his fists and said to Lin Cunde.

"Yu Shaobao?" Lin Cunde asked in surprise. Unexpectedly, Yu Qian was also interested in such a thing?
Zhu Ji nodded and said: "Yes, in addition, my father-in-law asked me to ask you if you can allow my father-in-law to come to visit. I wonder, brother Cunde, do you have time?"

"Ah?" Lin Cunde heard this and looked at Zhu Ji in shock.

"Are you scared?" Zhu Ji asked with a smile when he saw Lin Cunde was so surprised.

"Of course! Yu Shaobao, come to visit me? Isn't this appropriate? I should go and visit. However, now I can't come to visit, otherwise it will bring bad luck to others!" Lin Cunde quickly said Slow down and answer immediately.

Thinking in his heart, Yu Qian saw what he was doing. Did he discover something?Doesn't make sense?Maybe Zhu Qiyu told Qian?It's not very possible. If you give Zhu Qiyu your own advice, the less people know about it, the better. If you don't keep secrets, you will lose your ministers. It's impossible for Zhu Qiyu not to understand this truth.

If that's the case, then why does Yu Qian want to see him?What did you really find?It is impossible for Yu Qian to visit him for no reason, he must know something.

And he didn't tell Zhu Ji what happened with Zhu Qiyu. Of course, Zhu Ji knew about the last meeting alone in the palace and yesterday's meeting. Could it be that Yu Qian analyzed something from here?If this is the case, I have really underestimated the wisdom of the ancients and become arrogant.

When Zhu Ji heard what Lin Cunde said, he also smiled and said: "My father-in-law knew that you were keeping filial piety at home, so he proposed to visit you. My father-in-law said, I am not even afraid of seeing His Majesty, but you are afraid of seeing him, so you asked me to come and ask you. I wonder if it’s convenient for you so I can go back and reply!”

After hearing this, Lin Cunde smiled bitterly. How should he answer this?Dare you say no?Yu Qian is the Minister of the Ministry of War. He is a scholar. How dare he refuse to see him?He could only shake his head and said: "Brother Shang De, can you please forgive me? When Yu Shaobao comes to my house, you can't say a visit. If Yu Shaobao is willing to come, the door of the student residence will be opened at any time to welcome you. However, Yu Shaobao Why do you want to protect me?"

"I don't know, really, I'm curious too!" Zhu Ji shook his head and said. Is this answer true that Lin Cunde didn't expect, and Zhu Ji didn't know either?

"Here, then, are there any taboos about eating with Yu Shaobao? Or are there any taboos about other things? Tell me and I will be ready when the time comes!" Lin Cunde was also helpless and could only do a good job in reception. Work, hoping not to be singled out by the other party.

"There is nothing taboo, just don't be too grand. My father-in-law advocates frugality, and he himself is very frugal. However, no matter how frugal you are here, it is probably extravagant in the eyes of my father-in-law. There is no way, who can be virtuous? Brother, you are rich,

But don’t worry, my father-in-law is not the kind of person who doesn’t know right from wrong. You earned your money based on your own ability. My father-in-law will not talk nonsense. If you are an official and the money comes from corruption, my father-in-law will probably I will personally submit a memorial to impeach you! "Zhu Ji laughed and said to Lin Cunde, he still doesn't know what his father-in-law's character is.

After hearing this, Lin Cunde smiled bitterly. He also knew some of Yu Qian's deeds. This man was thrifty and honest, so he couldn't understand those indulgent and extravagant things.

Zhu Ji continued to stare at Lin Cunde and asked, "Tell me, when is the right time?"

"I'm here at any time, but I really can't figure out why Yu Shaobao wants to see me as a student. I can't understand it!" Lin Cunde still looked at Zhu Ji in embarrassment.

Zhu Ji said with a smile: "Then let's talk after we meet each other. Let's see if we can meet tomorrow as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will be on duty again in a few days. My father-in-law probably doesn't have that much time!"

"Okay, listen to Brother Shangde!" Lin Cunde nodded.

After chatting for a while, Zhu Ji went back and told Yu Qian that he had made an appointment.Lin Cunde was sitting in the study, thinking carefully about what Yu Qian wanted to do with him.Where did you show your weakness?Doesn't make sense?Besides, as long as Zhu Qiyu didn't say anything, he could kill him without admitting it. Then Yu Qian would see what use he had.

At this time, Qiu Shuang came in and saw Lin Cunde leaning on the main seat of the tea table, holding his chin and thinking about something, so he sat down quietly. Originally, she came in to clean, but now that Lin Cunde was thinking about the problem, she couldn't I dared to clean up, but I was afraid of disturbing Lin Cunde's thinking.

After a while, Lin Cunde looked up at Qiu Shuang and asked, "Why are you staring at me? If you are tired, go and take a rest!"

"No, Master, I want to clean the study. Seeing that Master is thinking, I don't dare to disturb him!" Qiu Shuang stood up and said with a smile.

"Oh, then you clean it!" Lin Cunde nodded.

Qiu Shuang also smiled and picked up things to clean. Regarding the study, Qiu Shuang did not let the servants who had just bought it clean it, but had to do it herself.

"By the way, Qiu Shuang, let me ask you something. Do you know if any of the servants you bought are literate?" Lin Cunde asked.

Qiu Shuang immediately asked with a smile: "Master, do you need to choose a scholar? Yes, most of the ones I bought this time are literate. Most of them are the children of prisoners. They have been enlightened since they were young and can read and write. But the master, It’s not possible now, it will take a while, the book boy needs to enter the study room at any time, and now they still need to conduct an inspection, give me a month, and I will choose a loyal and reliable one for you!”

"Oh, most of them can?" Lin Cunde looked at Qiu Shuang in surprise. Did he really not know this?

"Of course, I specially selected the young master. He is a scholar and will be an official in the future. If those people are all stupid and not clever, won't they ruin the young master's affairs? And those officials' children are all Very smart!
However, they are too smart, and they need to be tempered and let them know that they are not in their house now. They are already slaves, so they should do slave things. They must not have any evil thoughts, let alone sell their masters for glory. ! "Qiu Shuang stood there and said proudly.

"Well done, I really didn't notice this that day!" Lin Cunde praised Qiu Shuang.

"Hehe!" Qiu Shuang was very happy to receive Lin Cunde's praise.

Lin Cunde continued: "Then it's up to you. When you're ready, let me know!"

"Okay, Master!" Qiu Shuang nodded happily.

"What about you, is there anyone else in your family?" Lin Cunde asked after thinking of this.

When Qiu Shuang heard this, his expression dimmed. Lin Cunde also realized that he shouldn't ask, but he just wanted to care, so he quickly said: "I'm sorry about that, I just want to know if there is anyone in your family." , if you need help, I will definitely help you!"

Qiu Shuang shook her head and said: "Thank you for your concern, young master. I know that the young master is a good person. I also have a younger brother, who is now 13 years old. At that time, my father was exiled for committing a crime, and his wife and daughter were all slaves. My younger brother was still young and was killed by my father. Adopted by a friend, now in Shandong!"

"Well, there is only one younger brother left?" Lin Cunde asked with a bit of shock.

Qiu Shuang nodded gently.

"Have you had any contact over the years? How is life there?" Lin Cunde asked again.

"We have contact and exchange of letters. Uncle Liang treats my brother as if he were his own son. Now he is also studying. Every year, I will send some money to him!" Qiu Shuang looked at Lin Cunde with a smile and said.

"When you are free, you can bring him home. If he is willing, he can live at home. There are many empty rooms at home, you know! Of course, the premise is that you need to approve your uncle Liang's opinion!" Lin Cunde said to Qiu Shuang.

"Thank you, Master. If there is a chance, I will report to the Master!" Qiu Shuang said happily to Lin Cunde. '

Lin Cunde nodded, and Qiu Shuang continued to pack things.

When he woke up the next day, Lin Cunde worshiped, exercised, and ate as usual, then returned to his study.

At this moment, Lin Cunyi knocked on the door of Lin Cunde's study, and Lin Cunde called out to come in.

"Cunde, Zhu Ji is here, and he has brought a middle-aged man with him. I think this middle-aged man has an extraordinary demeanor. Zhu Ji said, I made an appointment with you yesterday!" Lin Cunyi opened the door and came in, reporting to Lin Cunde.
