Lin Jiabiyu

After the morning court, Duke Wen went straight to the entrance of the main hall with sweat on his face, his head bowed, and got on the carriage. He raised his hand to urge the driver: "Go home!"

Several old masters of the Chen family came across a place where you looked at me and I looked at you, and there was some deep meaning in their eyes, but no one spoke, they hurriedly got into the carriage of the Chen family, and went straight to the Chen residence.

Several princes also walked out of the hall door behind the courtiers.

The fourth prince was holding a jade fan in his hand, shaking it slowly, with a bright smile on his face, talking about going to the outskirts of Beijing to see lotus flowers and appreciating beauties, as soon as he went out, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said goodbye to the other three princes. Swinging the fan, the little servant graciously followed out of the palace gate.

The eldest prince looked at the swaying back of the fourth prince, smiled and sighed to the people behind him: "The fourth son should also get a job, so as not to be so swaying every day." The tone was light and light, with a bit of contempt and satisfaction smile.

The second prince twitched the corners of his mouth, fell silent for a moment, and looked at the eldest prince with a smile.

"Grandpa Sun has sued the old man, and the positions of Jijiu and Cabinet Bachelor of the Imperial College have been vacated. In my opinion, who is suitable to take the position of Grandpa Sun?"

A sarcasm flashed across the third prince's eyes, as if he didn't hear the second prince's question, he just looked at the courtiers passing by in a hurry.

The first prince was taken aback for a moment, then the smile in his eyes deepened, he looked at the second prince and said with a smile: "Father has his own plans for this matter, and it's not up to you!"

The smile on the second prince's face froze, then he flung his sleeves and said goodbye coldly.

In Chengqian Hall, Emperor Cheng Ming was covered with cold air.Staring coldly at Mr. Sun and Lin Zhiyuan's Zhezi, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he laughed coldly, then his face changed, and he covered his mouth and coughed violently.

Su Wen hurriedly took the medicine bowl and stepped forward, wanting to comfort Emperor Cheng Ming, but Emperor Cheng Ming waved his hands away, so he had to stand aside with his head down.

Emperor Cheng Ming coughed several times, his voice suppressed and low.But he coughed more and more loudly, his face flushed red, he coughed until he slumped on the chair, and then he slowly stopped coughing, loosened the handkerchief in his hand, and leaned back on the chair wearily.He gasped for breath.

Seeing that Emperor Chengming slowed down, Su Wen came forward with the medicine bowl carefully, and hesitantly advised, "Your Majesty, it's time to drink the medicine."

Emperor Cheng Ming waved his hands weakly, frowned and shook his head, his voice was hoarse with a bit of anger hidden: "Back off!"

Su Wen opened his mouth.Seeing Emperor Ming's face was impatient and irritable, the smoldering eyes became more and more intense.He had no choice but to swallow back the words on his lips, and walked out lightly holding the medicine bowl.

Emperor Cheng Ming looked at the slowly closing palace door, leaned limply on the back of the chair, closed his eyes tiredly, and suppressed low coughs one after another.

When he first arrived at Si, Duke Wen jumped off the carriage covered in hot sweat, and hurried back to Duke Wen's mansion.Without looking back, he ordered the steward who followed behind him: "Let the uncle and the second master come to the study to see me!"

The steward followed Wen Guogong staggeringly and heard the order.He hurriedly promised to pull up his feet and run to the side, but before he could take two steps, he was suddenly stopped by Wen Guogong.

"Forget it, I won't see them right now! Prepare the car and go to the Duke of Wei's mansion." Wen Guogong said, and hurried into the courtyard, changed his clothes with the maids in the house, and hurried out the door again.

The Duke of Wei, Wei Qingming, and the second master, Wei Qingyuan, returned to the mansion with calm faces, and went into the study all the way.

"Yanping sent an urgent letter early this morning. Lu Er and the girl from the Lin family have arrived in Bei'an County. Lu Er sent a message and asked the fourth boy to go to Longchuan Mansion with him." Wei Qingming closed the door and looked at Wei Wei. Qingyuan, with a flowing smile in his eyes, and a bit of deep meaning in his clear eyes. "Your Majesty is getting older, but his heart hasn't grown a bit. The incident of bandits in the north was known all over the city, and it's time for the Lu family to take action. The general's wife is probably not an easy one."

As he spoke, he turned to the desk, took out a piece of white paper folded very small from the drawer below, unfolded it, and handed it to Wei Qingyuan.

"It's just a little girl." Wei Qingyuan looked at the letter paper in his hand, glanced at Wei Qingming suspiciously, and said with a nonchalant smile, "The Marquis of Chong'an also signed up for a sick report this morning, so it's prudent. If it wasn't for Mr. Sun's troubles, the Holy One would have been angry before. Lin Zhiyuan sent several younger generations of the Lin family to the south, and now he has to take sick leave. Heh, the king of Xining may also have taken a liking to the Lin family to save worry and trouble. .”

"There are so many places in the capital that are less worrying and troublesome than the Lin family!" Wei Qingming pointed at Wei Qingyuan and asked, "If it's about saving trouble, wouldn't it be better to find someone in the north? Your brain knows how to think about this poem all day long." Don’t you know how to think about these things in that article?”

When Wei Qingming said this, he glared at Wei Qingyuan with hatred, looked at the contemptuous smile in Wei Qingyuan's eyes, frowned, took a breath, and then slowly exhaled, reminding in a weak and helpless voice: " That girl is doing business in the north...Last year when the court fought Beiyan, the king of Xining almost scolded all the people in the court for the lack of food and grass, but he couldn't get it together. In the end, he said that it was donated by the merchants in the north. .For the three armies to fight, food and grass are extremely important, and a day’s absence is a big deal. Even if it is delivered by various merchants, the food and grass will be delivered in such a timely manner, so sufficient?"

The smile in Wei Qingyuan's eyes gradually stagnated, and then he widened his eyes in astonishment, staring at Wei Qingming in a daze, he opened his mouth but didn't ask a word for a long time.

Seeing this, Wei Qingming rubbed his forehead weakly, pointed at the letter paper in Wei Qingyuan's hand and sighed: "Yanping asked someone to hand over the letter, and specifically mentioned this, 'Madam and the general have a very strong relationship', Lu Er sent another message." Tell the fourth boy to follow him to Longchuan Mansion, don't you know what the fourth boy is best at? You can't see anything wrong with all these things?"

The more Wei Qingming talked, the more frustrated he became. He stared at Wei Qingyuan weakly and let out a sulking sigh, then pointed Wei Qingyuan's shoulder and said: "Lu Er's temper, people who don't like him, how could he ever have a good face? The Lu family He is being cultivated as his heir! The person who can make him fall in love with, can be just a vulgar fan! Just for that girl from the Lin family to be able to catch Lu Er's eyes, she is quite capable!"

"If she is really capable, it will be a good thing for the Lu family." Wei Qingyuan finally turned half a corner this time, hummed very solemnly, nodded and muttered. "It's just that doing business, after all, is the way of a merchant, and she can't be on the big stage. No matter how you say it, she is also the general's wife, and she will be the mother of the Lu family in the future, so she can't just stick to these trivial matters—"

Wei Qingyuan glanced at Wei Qingming while talking, seeing Wei Qingming's calm face, but his eyes were slightly cool, he felt a little bit in his heart, and hurriedly stopped coughing: "Besides, our Wei family has a lot of business. I said, I should force Yanliang to come back and study for a few more years, so that I can..."

"You don't know about the affairs of the Lu family and the royal family? The princes are more stupid than the other, and you didn't notice what was going on in the heart of King Xining?" Wei Qingming interrupted Wei Qingyuan's chanting with a sullen face.

"That's another matter!" Wei Qingyuan emphasized very seriously, "And the Wei family is not the Lu family. Although the younger sister married into the Lu family, she is a married daughter after all. She is from the Lu family. According to me, the Wei family should not meddle in the affairs of the Lu family and the royal family. The more they are involved in the affairs of this world, the more chaotic they will become. In the end, no one can tell.

Wei Qingming laughed angrily, shook his head, full of self-deprecation and sulking, snorted through his nose, and pulled the corner of his mouth feebly, but didn't want to say a word.

Wei Qingyuan was earnestly persuading Wei Qingming, when the manager outside reported that it was Wen Guogong who had come, the two people in the room were stunned for a moment.

Thinking of what happened earlier, Wei Qingming's thoughts moved slightly, and some sarcasm slowly soaked in his eyes.

Wei Qingyuan frowned and snorted impatiently.

"Wen Guogong is quite old, but he is really not afraid of the heat! He even pointed at the Wei family to send his daughter to the prince's mansion together with him? Hmph!"

Wei Qingming coughed, and glanced at Wei Qingyuan coldly, Wei Qingyuan immediately stopped talking, but his eyes were still full of contempt.He just can't understand Wen Guogong's behavior!Hurry up to please the prince, and even send her son and daughter to someone else's house to be a concubine!It is simply a loss of the character of a scholar! ...Forget it, there are not many scholars in his Wen family!

Wei Qingyuan snorted softly, flicked his sleeves, followed Wei Qingming out of the study room, and greeted him out into the living room.

When Wen Guogong saw that the two heads of the Wei family had come, he immediately put on a smile and bowed his hands politely to them.

"Haha, I didn't expect the two virtuous younger brothers to be in the house, but it's a coincidence."

Wei Qingyuan looked at the smirk on Wen Guogong's face with contempt, and snorted coldly in his heart, but on the surface he greeted Wen Guogong politely.

Wei Qingming politely invited Wen Guogong to sit down, let the boy serve tea, and sat down himself, but he was holding a teacup and slowly sipping tea, only watching Wen Guogong smiling politely, but he didn't ask any questions. talk.

In principle, Wei Qing sipped his tea with an undivided attention, staring at the green tea water to see the gods.

When Wen Guogong saw this, his heart sank, he put down his teacup and forced a smile, "Grandpa Sun sued the old man early this morning, no one expected this before, and the old man also covered it tightly, who knows that he suddenly quit. .Isn’t this what the Holy Majesty asked the recommender? Today, several princes also asked me specifically. I haven’t studied for a few years, and I dare not say more about the Imperial College. It’s just the cabinet... eh , I have no idea, I came here today just to hear the thoughts of the two virtuous brothers, so that I can explain to the Holy Majesty when I turn back."

"Wen Guogong is looking for the wrong person!" Wei Qingming hastily put down his teacup and waved his hands, and sighed in embarrassment, "Wen Guogong also knows that our family started as a merchant, and later the elders of the family stayed in the army for a while, so it's also true. The Taizu was reminiscing about the old days, so he got a title. We brothers really don't understand much at the court civil servants' end, and we can't speak."

Seeing that Duke Wen was in a hurry to speak, Wei Qingming stopped back with a smile, and complimented unhurriedly: "The Wen family has a century-old family, and the disciples are all over the government and the public. You have served in the court for so many years. This candidate The higher-ups must be aware of this. Are you here to take a special exam for our brothers? It’s hard to make a special trip for you. It just so happened that Zhuangzi sent a wild deer over last night. If Duke Wen doesn’t dislike it, why don’t you stay at the mansion for dinner?”

Wen Guogong had a dark face, suppressed his anger, stared at Wei Qingming with dark eyes, then put down his teacup abruptly, and sneered at Wei Qingming: "Thank you, Wei Guogong, for your kindness, I don't dare to bother you anymore." Straight out of the house. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
