Chapter 34
Wei Yunyi was already weak, if he was bumped into this time, he would definitely die.
But Yuan Luyi, who was born with some kung fu, was far away from her, and the attendants hadn't realized it yet.
Lin Zisu secretly watched from behind, such a move would kill two birds with one stone, not only killing the obtrusive side concubine Wei Yunyi, but also branding Lin Jinhua with the iron seal of a criminal!
Seeing that the horse was getting closer and closer, if the hoof kicked forward again, it would have kicked Wei Yunyi. Just when Wei Yunyi was also pale with fright, he suddenly heard the horse neighing, and the horse's head was crushed on the spot. The man chopped it down, and blood was splashed all over the place.
Everyone breathed out softly, but Wei Yunyi's body went limp and he passed out, but fortunately someone came to catch him in time.
Yuan Luyi was terrified, and rushed to help her, but was glared at: "I asked you to protect her, and that's how you protect her!"
"Ninth brother..." Yuan Luyi's eyes were full of tears, and she looked at the sullen Zhao Qing with aggrieved expression.
Lin Jinhua also ran over in a hurry and explained: "It was my carelessness that harmed the side concubine, please punish the Ninth Prince."
Zhao Qing knew it had nothing to do with them, but when he thought that Wei Yunyi was almost kicked to death by this crazy horse just now, he couldn't beat him. He just said indifferently: "It's getting late, you should go back earlier." After all, turn around and leave.
Lin Zisu saw from a distance that Zhao Qing was no longer acting like a fool, but he actually had a bit of King Ning's aura, and hurried forward, holding up his skirt, and said, "His Royal Highness Ninth Prince..."
Zhao Qing gave her a cold look, and before she could finish speaking, he turned around and got into the carriage and left.
The people present were in an uproar, and began to secretly point fingers at Lin Jinhua.Seeing this, Lin Zisu felt less resentment at being treated coldly by the Ninth Prince just now, and looked at the crowd pitifully and said, "This matter has nothing to do with Seventh Sister, it's because the horse is crazy..."
"Okay Zisu, I know you are kind-hearted, but now the evidence is convincing that she is a evil star, whoever gets involved will be unlucky!" Miss Kang said loudly.
"Shut up, what else can you do besides spreading rumors!" Yuan Luyi said fiercely to her without thinking, Wei Yunyi almost died just now, and she was brutalized by the Ninth Prince again, her stomach was full of fire Well, they are still here singing and playing oboe.
"Princess, what the minister said is the truth..."
"What fact?" Yuan Lvyi pointed at her angrily, "You are the cousin of Kang Shilang's family, right? Your uncle died and you dressed up to show off to play, and now you are here talking nonsense and slandering people. Is it because you are jealous? Jinhua was born prettier than you?"
Yuan Lvyi wasn't considered to have a bad temper, but now that these people didn't know what to do, they pissed her off, and she exploded.
Miss Kang's face turned red. She didn't know that she was so shameless. Looking at the crowd of eyes staring at her, she could only say: "Every time someone goes to Lin Jinhua's place, something happens to her. Doesn't this just mean that she is a villain?" star?"
Xiong Shilin was a little timid at the side, and wanted to agree with Yuan Lvyi, but seeing her blushing and thick neck, she swallowed her words again.
Yuan Lvyi listened, and snorted lightly: "According to what you said, every time a murder case occurs, Jing Zhaoyin is present. Besides, there is no king in the world. Could it be that what happens every day in our Dajin Dynasty is blamed on the present day?" Can the Holy One succeed?"
How could Miss Kang dare to respond to this, she muttered a few times, and turned to look at Lin Zisu, Lin Zisu hurried forward and said: "Princess, don't be so angry, Miss Kang is innocent if she doesn't know. "
"That's right, Princess, it's getting late, so I'll go back first." Xiong Shilin said hurriedly.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Lin Jinhua said with a slight smile, "Young Master Xiong has a sore on the corner of his mouth. It's better to see a doctor earlier. This disease is caused by long-term accumulation, and has nothing to do with the right time and place."
Xiong Shilin was a little embarrassed, could it be that she saw her illness?He frowned slightly, nodded and wanted to leave, but was pulled back by Ms. Kang: "Mr. Xiong, don't listen to her, how does she know what disease to see? I don't know where I learned some three-legged cat skills, and I'm about to come out to deceive people." .”
Xiong Shilin took a dissatisfied look at her ugly face, and hurriedly opened her hand and left in a hurry.
Yuan Luyi was about to speak, but was stopped by Lin Jinhua: "Princess, why don't you go back and see the side concubine earlier." If it continues to make trouble, it is not good for anyone. If a woman has a bad reputation, how will she marry her in the future? , even though she is destined to be sent to be married...
Yuan Lvyi is not a reckless person, she knows how to measure, looked at her and said: "I took you out for a walk, I never thought that such a bad thing would happen to me. I will invite you to my house for tea later. The emperor got a new taste of tea, he likes it very much, and he also rewarded his grandfather a lot."
Seeing that she quickly calmed down, Lin Jinhua also rolled her eyes and nodded.
When she jumped away, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Zisu on the side: "Fourth sister, the Ninth Prince will definitely find out where the crazy horse came from when he goes back this time, do you know where the horse is?" here?"
Seeing her burning eyes, Lin Zisu tightened her palms slightly, but she only smiled and said, "How would I know?"
"Really? That's good. Although the Lin family has the name of the General's Mansion, they are not considered a big family. Especially the second uncle has not yet made military achievements. If he is accused of murdering the royal family, he may not be punished." Light." Lin Jinhua smiled lightly.
Lin Zisu froze, looked at her coldly and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Lin Jinhua saw that the crowd had dispersed, and looked at the Kang family lady without saying much: "My sister specially invited the Kang family lady here, I'm afraid it will be a failure."
Seeing that she seemed to have seen through her plan, Lin Zisu slapped her hard on the face in a panic, but before the slap touched Lin Jinhua's face, she grabbed her wrist.
"you……"
"It's getting late, I'll go back first." Lin Jinhua let go of her hand, looked at her expression of disbelief, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up, and turned away.
Lin Zisu saw that today's design still failed to hurt her in the slightest, and her beautiful little face was about to be distorted with anger. Out of the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Kang Yue, who was also very angry, and came up with a plan. Said: "I remember that there is an elder brother in your natal family, who is a bit stupid, but born with great strength, and also likes to toss women?"
Kang Yue frowned, and asked her in dissatisfaction: "What are you talking about him for, you idiot."
Lin Zisu smiled: "It's okay, I just remembered it suddenly. Hey, fortunately, Seventh Sister will not go out alone, otherwise everything will be ruined if I run into your brother."
Kang Yue's eyes lit up, and she glanced at her: "She usually doesn't go out alone?"
"Of course not, unless someone invites you." Lin Zisu didn't continue, and said that she was tired, so she went back home, but Kang Yue was very happy.Because cousin Kang Jiao didn't like Lin Jinhua, she didn't like it at all, and she didn't like her even more when she saw her good-looking, smart and so many people helping her today.She watched the Lin family's carriage getting farther and farther away, snorted lightly, and went back triumphantly regardless of her already ugly face becoming more and more distorted.
Back at the Lin Mansion, before Lin Jinhua had time to return to Luoxia Garden, she heard rumors that the old patriarch of the Lin family had arrived and was dealing with Lin Xiyu in the temporary ancestral hall.
Cai'er brought hot tea to her, and said in secret: "This old patriarch is very arrogant. As soon as he entered the mansion, he accused our Lin mansion of not caring about the people in the clan, saying that we are extravagant and wasteful."
Lin Jinhua took a sip of the tea, the aroma was tangy, and she felt better. She smiled and said, "Don't worry about him." The old patriarch has such a greedy and stingy temperament. If he is still alive, he can still bear it without letting him search too much. This time, the second wife is probably eager to give away more, so that he can deal with Lin Xiyu.
"Then why don't we just go over and have a look? This old patriarch is very angry, if you don't go, you will find a reason to make a fool of you later." Cai'er worried.
Lin Jinhua thought about it, but still didn't go.Whether to go or not, with the temperament of the two aunts and the old team leader, she was not at peace, so why bother to find it unhappy, she simply figured out how to win over the monk who will become deceased in Puji Temple in the future.
At this moment in the ancestral hall, Lin Xiyu was still drinking tremella and lotus seed soup in peace of mind in the room, waiting for the day when she would dress up beautifully and go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to thank her, but she didn't know that the patriarch suddenly came and ordered someone to drag her here shrine.
The old patriarch was a thin old man. Seeing that she was standing upright and not kneeling down, he slammed his hand on the table and scolded: "Don't kneel down!"
"I don't kneel, what are you, worthy of my kneeling?" Lin Xiyu was only thinking that she could become the Ninth Prince's Concubine, so it was absolutely impossible for her to kneel right now.
The old patriarch only felt that his majesty had been challenged, so he immediately ordered: "Beat her to the knees!"
Immediately, a fierce woman from the clan stepped forward and slapped her blindfolded, and then kicked her to the ground.
Lin Xiyu has never been beaten like this by anyone at such an age, and her eyes turned red immediately: "Old man, I will become the concubine of the Ninth Prince in the future, if you dare to hit me, the Ninth Prince will never let you go!"
"Presumptuous! You dare to say such shameless words. It seems that you entered the filthy place of the brothel voluntarily!" The old patriarch was so angry that his beard trembled, and he directed the two women: "Give me [-] first." a board!"
Without saying a word, the two picked up the thick sticks and started beating.
Twenty sticks down, half of Lin Xiyu's life was lost.
The eldest lady went back to her mother's house early in the morning, and when she came back, she heard that Lin Xiyu was dragged to the ancestral hall. When she arrived, she saw her daughter lying on the ground, the clothes on her back were stained red with blood, and she immediately fainted , the whole person almost fell to the ground.
When Lin Xiyu saw the eldest lady coming, she dared to cry: "Mother, save me, he is going to kill me..."
Why didn't Da Furen feel distressed, she hurried forward to protect him: "Hurry up and invite the doctor!"
The old patriarch sneered: "What kind of doctor, she deserves what she deserves. A woman is disrespectful and disrespectful. If she doesn't beat her to death, I will be kind!"
The eldest lady is not like Lin Xiyu, she stared at his thin, sallow face with a cold face: "My master is a fifth-rank official after all, and my father is a sixth-rank mansion, if you beat me to death today Dear Xiyu, I see how many of your sons and grandsons have to pay for their lives!"
"You—!" The old patriarch gritted his teeth when he met someone who was also ruthless. , you want to lynch on the boundary of my Lin family, don't blame me for being rude." After saying that, Lin Xiyu was carried back immediately.
The old patriarch was so angry that he almost smoked, and when the people in the big house left, the second wife who had been listening to the side came out, and sighed: "The elder sister-in-law has always been strong and domineering, and the patriarch has been troubled." The man brought out a small plate, and there were four or five large ingots of silver ingots neatly placed in the plate, which may add up to two or thirty taels.
The old patriarch's eyes lit up, but he sighed and smiled pretending to be reserved: "Forget it, I don't care about this woman today, but I will not let her go when the ancestral hall is repaired and there is a public trial. She can't even keep up with a woman's derong words, so she doesn't need to rest."
Mrs. Ye smiled slightly, and the old patriarch suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "Where is Nier from the third room? What is her name..."
"Lin Jinhua, the princess invited her to go out for tea with Zisu earlier in the morning, I'm afraid she just came back and rested in the courtyard." Ye's eyes flickered.
The old patriarch nodded, thought for a while, and asked again: "This time Sanfang heard that he has made military exploits again. The emperor may have rewarded him. My two grandchildren are not young this year, and they can enter the court when they arrive." When I was an official, it would be even better if I could marry another young lady from everyone. It doesn’t have to be too good, just the first daughter of a fourth or fifth grade official’s family is fine, and the concubine’s daughter is not. If you are not favored, it’s useless to marry.”
Seeing his shameless look, Mrs. Ye chuckled: "These are trivial matters. Jinhua has a good relationship with the ladies in the capital. For example, Princess Yuan and the daughter of Wang Yushi's family are all first-class. Now, when the third younger brother comes back, why don't you want to find a high-ranking official for the children in the clan? The clan is the root of the Lin family, and they will never forget it."
"That's good, that's good." The old patriarch was very happy, and he was even more happy when he looked at the dozens of silver ingots.
Ye Shi smiled: "You can live in the mansion with peace of mind these few days. If you don't want to go to Jinhua to speak, I will speak for you."
The old patriarch was more and more satisfied with Mrs. Ye, and sighed softly: "At the time when the second child married you, I thought you were just from a businessman, and could not be compared to the daughter-in-law of a sixth-rank official. Now it seems that you are more sensible than her." Knowing that there are more rules, you will be able to live in peace when the big house divorces her later."
Mrs. Ye hurriedly said: "Isn't that hard work, old patriarch?"
"Where..."
The two exchanged pleasantries like this for a long while, and Ye Shi came out of the room until it was time to eat, and immediately threw away the handkerchief in disgust.
Lan Qiu on the side laughed lightly: "They country bumpkins, lazy toads want to eat swan meat for free, it's really fantastic."
Mrs. Ye smiled coldly, raised her hand to touch the additional wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and her complexion became even colder: "I just want to praise them so that they don't know how high the sky is, and when the time comes, Sanfang can't deliver this swan meat, so they just wait to be caught These stingy households, let’s toss to death.” After finishing speaking, he looked at the clothes on his body in disgust, and frowned: “Hurry up and go back to wash and change clothes.” After finishing speaking, he went directly, but did not find that he just came back from home and happened to hear these things Mama Yang who spoke.
After Yang's mother went back to settle down, she wanted to come back early to take care of her. When she heard this, her legs were weak, and she hurried back to report to Lin Jinhua.
Lin Jinhua was sitting at the table and preparing to eat at the moment. After listening to her, she was indifferent. She also knew the true colors of these people in the previous life. It is not surprising to hear it now.
Cai'er, however, was furious: "These shameless people still want to get something for nothing, and they don't look down on the concubine daughters of rich families. How can those concubine daughters look down on them? Bah!"
Mama Yang has been following her for the past few days, and she also knows that Lin Jinhua has always been lenient with her servants, and Cai'er is used to being so presumptuous, so she replied: "Miss, I heard what the second lady said, and I'm afraid I want you to do these things." What's the matter?"
"Yeah." Lin Jinhua nodded lightly, looked at her respectful but clever appearance, and felt that she was a useful person, so she said, "Have you ever had dinner?"
Seeing her calm look, Mama Yang felt a little strange. Could it be that Miss Qi didn't understand what she meant?
"The slaves are in a hurry to serve, and there is no time to eat in the future, but Miss Seven..."
Before she finished speaking, Lin Jinhua ordered two untouched dishes on the small table, and said, "Go and eat first, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."
Mother Yang turned her head to look at Cai'er in confusion, Cai'er couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly said: "Miss, why are you not in a hurry, I heard that today's young lady was almost beaten to death by the old patriarch, he Relying on the name of the patriarch, but dare to do anything."
Lin Jinhua looked at her amusedly: "Why are you in a hurry, she has the name of patriarch, and I also have the name of Miss Lin Jiaqi." The old patriarch is easy to deal with, but it is the second wife who manipulates him behind the scenes.
Seeing that she still didn't take it seriously, Cai'er was so angry that she didn't know what to say.
Mama Yang felt something, and said to Cai'er, "Miss probably has a countermeasure in mind."
Cai'er went to look at Lin Jinhua, Lin Jinhua only smiled slightly, and from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the respectful mother Yang, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
At night, the Lin Mansion had already calmed down. Lin Jinhua changed into a black cloak and went to the back alley of the Lin Mansion. The sixth child was already waiting.
After being beaten up by Xiong Shilin today, the bruise on his face was still there, and when he saw Lin Jinhua coming out, he stood respectfully from afar.Seeing that she was so dissatisfied with the people of the Lin Mansion before, she thought she must be a cousin or a favored girl, but she was actually Prince Ning's prospective concubine, Miss Seven of the Lin Mansion.
Seeing his reserved look, Lin Jinhua sighed inwardly, but said calmly, "How about the matter I asked you to investigate?" The second lady still wanted to invite the master to come, fearing that she would use the old patriarch to act as a demon together.
Lao Liu hurriedly said: "I haven't found it yet, but there is a wandering monk in the capital. I heard that it is very effective. Many wives have invited him to the mansion to do it, even Mrs. Dingnanhou .”
Lin Jinhua did not expect Mrs. Hou to invite him.
She frowned slightly, and said, "Go and stare at this monk and find out his background." After thinking for a while, she took out the bright yellow jade pendant that the strange man in Puji Temple gave her before and handed it to the sixth child: "Take it Go to Yunshuijian and let them investigate."
"This is..." Lao Liu looked at the jade for a long time, and knew it was a good thing, but in the clouds and waters, how could she know that place?
"What's the matter?" Seeing that he was stunned and silent, Lin Jinhua asked Chi Chi.
The sixth child bit his lip slightly and shook his head: "I know, I'll check it later."
Seeing that he was still in single clothes, Lin Jinhua smiled slightly and said, "Why are you so cautious, I am not a person who pays attention to politeness, and you are not my slave, you just use money to do things for me. If the house is ready, you will Clean yourself up, find a place you like to live in, and you won't be a beggar in the capital from now on."
Lao Liu clenched his hand holding the jade pendant slightly, tears flashed in his eyes, but he couldn't tell if it was because he was moved or he was embarrassed by the woman's relief, he just smiled in relief: "Yes."
"By the way, do you have a name?" Lin Jinhua asked.
Lao Liu raised his head to meet her pair of dark eyes looking at him, and immediately lowered his eyes again, shaking his head: "Brother always calls me Lao Liu, I don't remember what my name is."
Lin Jinhua paused for a moment before saying, "Yesheng, born in the night, free to come and go, how about it?"
"Yesheng?" Lao Liu smacked the two words, nodded with a smile, his slightly immature face was full of relief.
After explaining the matter, Lin Jinhua turned around and left.Lao Liu watched the person disappear around the corner, then slowly straightened his bent back, turned and left.
After he left, Lin Jinhua came out from the corner door.He was literate from the very beginning, and he could tell that the jade given to him just now was a good jade, so how could he even forget the name?Could it be that it was not a coincidence to meet him in that West Lane that night?
Thinking of this, Lin Jinhua shook her head. She just felt that she was too cautious and overthinking. If someone had a name in the previous life, she couldn't have no impression of it.
After thinking about it, he turned and went back to the room.
The people in Luoxia Garden rested early, and she returned to the room without lighting a candle, she took off her coat and was about to rest, when suddenly a masculine breath approached, so scared that she subconsciously raised her hand to hit her, but her fist was caught by a slightly He held it with a rough but warm big hand, and then his hoarse voice came: "I really want to be a widow in the future."
"Zhao Huai... my lord." Lin Jinhua blurted out to call his name, but turned the corner cleverly.
She could see his phoenix eyes hiding a smile under the thin night light, she was relieved, and finally said: "The injury on the prince's body is healed?"
"Yeah." Zhao Huaiyan hid the wound on the other hand. After seeing General Lin and taking Murong Chen's medicine, he missed him more and more, so he rode back all night. His hand was tied up by the rein for a long time. There are split bloodstains.
When Lin Jinhua heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't know why she was so relieved. Could it be because she was worried that if he died, she would have no thighs to hug?Yes, it must be so.
Lin Jinhua comforted herself like this, and took a step back to invite him to sit down and talk first, but she didn't know that the man put his hands around her waist and pulled him into his arms before sitting comfortably on the stool: "Siqing is like a madman .”
A simple sentence, in the night, it seemed as if the wind would blow away, but it just broke into Lin Jinhua's frozen heart.
She was startled, and said a little stupidly: "Your Highness has been poisoned again?"
The corners of Zhao Huaiyan's thin and cool mouth evoked a hint of a smile. He looked at the people close to him lightly, and felt content without doing anything. However, Lin Jinhua felt uncomfortable and twisted and wanted to go down. The flames swished into a big fire.
"Don't move anymore..." Zhao Huaiyan looked at her with some restraint: "Good boy..."
Lin Jinhua knew people's affairs well. At this moment, she felt something pushed up under her clothes, and immediately felt that the air around her seemed to be embarrassingly condensed.
She didn't dare to move at all, didn't dare to blink her eyes, her mind was frantically trying to find something to break the embarrassment, and said: "What is the prince doing this time?"
"Suppress the bandits." He looked at the person who was not daring to move at this moment in a good mood, thinking of the pain he couldn't ask for in his previous life, he felt a little happy in his heart.
Lin Jinhua knew that he was reticent, so he could only search for something to say, but after talking for a long time, the bravery underneath seemed to have no intention of leaving the scene.
Zhao Huaiyan listened to her desperately looking for something to say, while looking at her carefully with the faint light.I had seen her up close in my previous life. On the day she married Zhao Kan, she accidentally fell into his arms. She was terrified like a frightened rabbit, but he saw her white and delicate skin under her red hijab. And those bright, moist eyes.I haven't seen her for a few days, and her body seems to be getting better, with a small bump on her chest, which seems a bit feminine.
The more he thought about it, the stronger the evil fire in his heart became.
Lin Jinhua's mouth was so dry that she almost didn't say what she ate yesterday, when she suddenly heard him say: "Don't worry, it's still a long time, let's talk slowly later."
Lin Jinhua paused for a moment, and took their marriage contract seriously.
She suddenly calmed down, and looked at him indifferently: "How much do you remember about the previous life that the prince said?"
"Not much, I remember everything that is related to you, and I don't know anything that is not related to you." It is true that he didn't dream about anything else, but only her was enough.He remembered that when she died in the previous life, he stole her ashes and put them in his coffin, but he didn't think that the fate of the previous life would really come true in this life.
Lin Jinhua looked into his deep eyes, and her heart jumped wildly.
She covered her heart in a daze, then looked up at him: "If that's the case, does the lord know what I want to do in this life?"
"know."
Lin Jinhua lowered her eyes. If he knew it, he should know that he would take revenge by any means and become a vicious person full of scheming...
Before she could finish her thoughts, she took that warm hand and said, "I'll help you. Life is the same, death is the same hole."
Lin Jinhua was silent. She didn't know Zhao Huaiyan, and she knew that he was not lying. If he used her for other purposes, there was no reason at all.In his previous life, even with the help of the queen, he never thought of winning the throne, and in this life he never thought of using himself to do it.But love?She was in a daze, the experience of being cheated because of love in her previous life was too painful, so she didn't dare to take one step forward and give away her heart without reservation.
Zhao Huaiyan understood her hesitation: "It's still a long time." There is always time to prove it.
The two sat like this, and in the early morning, Zhao Huaiyan decided to go back and take a cold bath. Before leaving, he looked at her deeply and said: "Don't believe what outsiders say, trust me."
Lin Jinhua raised her eyebrows slightly. Was he referring to Zhao Kan saying that he could not enter Taoism?
"Yeah." She has witnessed it, so she won't believe it.
Zhao Huaiyan didn't mean that, but seeing the evil smile hidden in the corner of her mouth, she turned and left without revealing it.
He left, but Lin Jinhua's whole back was stiff, and she didn't dare to move all night. She was sore all over now, and fell asleep under the quilt on the bed until the second lady came to invite her in the afternoon, saying that the patriarch And the two older brothers in the clan want to see her.
Cai'er and Mama Yang were both serving, Bai Lan's health improved a lot, and she was eager to come to serve her, the small room became lively all of a sudden.
Cai'er picked out the plain brocade clothes that Zhao Huaiyan sent last time, and said with a smile, "Miss, please wear this." At least it will let those who speak loudly know that Miss is still protected by King Ning.
Lin Jinyu shook her head when she saw through her small thoughts. Those people were like blood-sucking insects. If they knew that Zhao Huaiyan was there to help, they would be even more ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth.
She picked out a slightly worn-out dress, and only used ordinary jewelry, and led Mama Yang and Cai'er there.
In the flower hall in the front yard, Lin Zisu was sitting at the lower end, because the eyes of the two so-called cousins from the clan kept falling on her. One of them was well-dressed as a scholar, and the other was Without any rules, Erlang cocked his legs and bit the shortbread, and the thief looked her up and down.
As soon as Lin Jinhua arrived, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "This is the seventh younger sister, Jinhua."
From the corners of Lin Jinhua's eyes, she glanced at the two strange men. The scholar was dressed in a blue robe, and he looked fairly upright, but his eyes and brows revealed a cover-up calculation, while the other was born with a rough face and an ugly face. The patriarch is very similar, with a pair of eyeballs looking at her obscenely from top to bottom since she started.
Just when she was about to walk in front of him, he suddenly stood up and stretched out his arms to hug her. If it wasn't for Cai'er who quickly pushed him away, Lin Jinhua might be hugged by him at this moment.
Cai'er was so angry that her face turned green: "What are you doing, this is Miss Lin Jiaqi, the future Princess Ning!"
The man was pushed away, and he was about to be angry, but when he saw Cai'er's petite and cute face, he immediately smiled wretchedly: "That's how we greet our younger sisters, why do you despise us from the countryside when you come to your official house? ?”
Seeing his rascal appearance, Cai'er was so angry that he wanted to reason. Lin Jinhua had already seen the cold face of the old patriarch in the first seat, and immediately pulled Cai'er down, before saying to the man, "This is cousin Lin Gui, right? , the maid is ignorant, but she follows the rules of the house, cousin, please don't mind." Lin Jinhua smiled lightly.
Lin Gui looked at her and smiled, his whole body was taken aback.The gentle and delicate eyebrows and sweet smile are really beautiful!
"Ahem..." The old patriarch saw that his grandson was stupefied, and he coughed dryly twice, then the man dressed as a scholar stood up and gave Lin Gui a hand, and said, "Brother, this is the capital, we must follow the rules of the capital. "
"I know." Lin Gui came back to his senses, and the man hurriedly smiled at Lin Jinhua, "My name is Lin Yu, and I'm the third in the family. You can call me third brother."
Lin Jinhua responded with a faint smile, and then sat down at the side. At this time, Ye Shi, who had been holding tea and drinking silently, smiled and said: "The brothers and sisters of the gatekeeper are so harmonious, and I, as an aunt, can rest assured."
Lin Jinhua raised her eyebrows slightly, and found that Lin Gui's eyes were still going back and forth between her body and Cai'er, and the bottom of her eyes turned cold.
Seeing that she was silent, Mrs. Ye asked again: "It's getting colder today, why are you wearing this thin cotton cape, where are your fox fur and mink fur?"
"Jinhua doesn't feel cold, and my mother advocated frugality when she was here, and Jinhua is in her filial piety, so she doesn't plan to wear those." Lin Jinhua saw that she wanted to reveal all her bottom in one breath, and the corners of Lin Jinhua's mouth slightly curled up.
The old patriarch frowned slightly, but said nothing.
Lin Gui couldn't wait: "It's okay, it's the same after the filial piety."
Lin Jinhua smiled lightly: "What your cousin said is that it's not good to be so plain all the time, and embarrass the Lin family. The Lin family can't be called a great family, but mother's family is from a scholarly family, and the rules are very strict. Jinhua will definitely be one One strictly followed."
The more she said this, the more ugly the face of the old patriarch would be. If she followed the strict rules of the big family, how would she be willing to help herself?He only said: "Xu's family is a foreign family, how can it be compared with Lin's family?"
"To the patriarch, it's a foreign family, but to Jinhua, it's a family member. Jinhua will also marry into a wife in the future, can he still forget about the Lin family?" Lin Jinhua retorted with a gentle smile, and didn't try to save him. Planned, just smiled and said: "The patriarch likes to joke, if Jinhua is stupid, I'm afraid he will take it seriously."
Hearing this, the old patriarch didn't know whether it was a seizure or not, he just picked up his teacup and drank tea, squinting at Ye Shi.
Ye Shi knew that Lin Jinhua was smart, but she didn't know that she was so eloquent, but she didn't intend to take her down immediately, she just said: "Your two brothers just came to the capital, and you are familiar with the capital, take them out for a walk. "
Lin Jinhua raised her eyebrows slightly, how can a woman who has not left the court take a man out?But as soon as she opened her mouth, Lin Zisu said again: "Let's forget it, Jinhua is now an honored person, how can she be willing to take her cousin with them, wouldn't it be a loss of face for her?"
Lin Gui was not happy to hear that, so he hurriedly said to Lin Jinhua: "Sister Jinhua, you don't think of us like this, do you look down on us from the countryside? I can tell you that we will also enter the court next year as officials and take over from rich families. daughter-in-law."
Lin Yu glanced at Lin Gui indifferently, and did not speak wisely.
The old patriarch also snorted softly: "No matter how noble you are, you are still from the Lin family, and your name is still recorded in the Lin family's genealogy."
Cai'er had never seen such unreasonable people before, she was about to speak, but Mama Yang quickly stopped her and shook her head at her.
Seeing that she couldn't push and procrastinate, Lin Jinhua could only get up and said with a smile: "Fourth sister, you are joking, Jinhua is a younger sister, so she should take her two cousins out of the house."
Hearing this, Mrs. Ye almost choked on the tea. If this got out, people would say that Mrs. Ye deliberately damaged the reputation of her niece.
She put down the teacup and said with a smile: "I won't go today, I heard Princess Yuan invited you to her house in a few days?"
Lin Jinzheng glanced at Lin Zisu who was looking away, feeling helpless, and could only say: "I have only met the princess twice..."
"Then what's the matter, we will definitely like the princess." Lin Gui rushed to say.
Lin Zisu almost didn't laugh out loud, so she held back her laughter, and said with a smile, "Your Cousin and Yu Cousin are both good-looking talents, and the princess is also unmarried now, which is great."
When Lin Gui heard this, he became more confident: "Sister Zisu is absolutely right. Although we are from the countryside, we will have an official position next year. She is also young, strong and talented, and she is down-to-earth. She is also worthy of her."
Lin Yu was a little embarrassed, but he was self-aware. Looking at the disdainful eyes of the servant girl behind Lin Jinhua, he knew what was in his heart. He just smiled and said, "If Cousin Jinhua is inconvenient, that's fine..."
"What's the inconvenience? Jinhua is now the princess-to-be, and her father has military achievements. Taking the two elder brothers there will make her princess look good." Lin Zisu glanced at Lin Jinhua, who had not changed his face, and hummed in his heart She sighed, and said to her: "Right, sister Seven? The two cousins came from afar, so you can't wait any longer."
Cai'er murmured to herself, these people were not invited by her lady...
Lin Jinyu couldn't refuse, otherwise she would be a villain, and she would just follow the advice of the second lady, but Yuan Lvyi just mentioned it casually, and she smiled and agreed.
Before leaving, she looked at the second lady and said: "By the way, the second aunt said that there are a lot of ginseng and bird's nests at home. They are all excellent things. It is best to replenish the health of the two cousins and the old patriarch. I heard that Rongfengfang in the capital has produced some good clothes, so I can make some good clothes for them, and when the party comes, people won’t think that my Lin family is mean to their distant relatives, right?”
Ye's face froze slightly, it wasn't that he was stingy with these things, but these people are simply a bottomless pit, which can't be filled, if you have it once, you will have it twice...
The old patriarch smiled happily when he heard it: "It's rare that you have such a heart."
Lin Jinhua smiled slightly: "It's rare for the patriarch to come over, so I'll treat him as a good host." After saying that, he left.
Lin Gui was overjoyed when he heard that ginseng bird's nest was going to make new clothes, so he stopped Mrs. Ye and said, "Then I'll trouble the second aunt. Should I find someone to measure my size, or should I measure it myself and send it to your house?"
Lin Zisu looked at this shameless man, her face turned blue with anger, she gritted her teeth, turned her head and left.
Lin Yu is not interested in Lin Zisu. Although Lin Zisu is beautiful, her father has not yet acquired a high-ranking official, and she has no talent. Unlike Lin Jinhua, although her mother's family has declined, she is no better than the second wife's merchant. With a strong family background, not to mention that his father has made a triumphant military victory, she even promised King Ning...
Thinking like this, he left in advance and followed Lin Jinhua's direction.
On the way back, Cai'er was very angry: "What kind of people are they, they dare to be beggars here!"
"Miss Cai'er, be careful, this is outside." Mother Yang warned in a low voice.
"I just can't help it..."
"If you can't help it, you have to hold it back!" Lin Jinhua suddenly said coldly.
Cai'er was slightly taken aback, she lowered her head and said nothing.
Lin Jinzheng sighed in her heart, but her face was only serious: "Even though I want to protect you, you still don't hold back, and put your troubles in other people's hands and let them punish you. I can save you again and again. , can I still save you countless times?"
"Miss..." Cai'er knew that what she said was reasonable, but she couldn't see that the person who was supposed to receive the most preferential treatment in this mansion was bullied like this.
Lin Jinhua looked at her like this, shook her head and said no more, but Lin Yu heard her words in the dark, and only pretended to catch up with her when she was about to leave.
"Sister Jinhua..." He stepped forward quickly, looking at the woman who was only touching his shoulders, what he said just now was very clear, which shows that she is also very smart.
Lin Jinyu looked at the calculation in his eyes when he looked at herself, and felt a little disgusted, but she just acted ordinary on the face, and smiled: "If Cousin Yu has something to do, just ask someone to pass it on. After all, this is a woman's back house."
Lin Yu didn't expect her to mention this, and he was a little embarrassed, but he hurriedly smiled and said, "I apologize for what happened just now. We just came to the capital, and we don't understand many rules. In the future, we will have to rely on Jinhua Sister, support me a lot."
"How dare you take the word "supporting and supporting", Jinhua is just a girl in the boudoir." She paused, looked at Lin Yu who had no intention of leaving, then turned to look at him and smiled: "I heard that cousin Yu recited the Four Five Five Classics It is very thorough, next year Chunwei will definitely be on the list."
"That's exactly why I am..." He looked at Lin Jinhua's expression tentatively halfway through his sentence, and seeing that she was still gentle and gentle, he smiled and said, "I also know that the officialdom is dark, so I am worried that there will be people in the exam." Cheating to get the top three."
"I heard that next year's chief examiner will be Wang Yushi and a group of adults from the Imperial Academy..."
"I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Ning is also one of the chief judges?" He interrupted her and asked.
Lin Jinhua's eyes suddenly turned cold, but she only smiled and said, "His Royal Highness King Ning is even more fair..."
"I hope my cousin can go to the prince and talk about it. After all, I'm fine, is the whole Lin family okay? If you marry into the prince's mansion, there must be someone behind you." His eyes were full of calculations, and he stared at Lin Jinhua as if he was already staring at the superior Top three.
Lin Jinhua frowned, she would never respond to this matter, she just said: "It's getting late..."
"Cousin doesn't agree?" The eagerness in his eyes suddenly cooled down, and he resumed his fake smile, squinted his eyes and said: "I heard that someone is going to point out that the late third aunt had an affair with someone, this matter... ..."
"Stop talking nonsense, our wife is innocent!" Cai'er was annoyed upon hearing this.
Lin Yu was not angry either, he smiled at Lin Jinhua, turned around and left.
Lin Jinhua tightly clenched her hands hanging in her sleeves. This incident also happened in her previous life. Because of this incident, her father fell into rumors and self-blame, and was manipulated by the second room until he died!
(End of this chapter)
Wei Yunyi was already weak, if he was bumped into this time, he would definitely die.
But Yuan Luyi, who was born with some kung fu, was far away from her, and the attendants hadn't realized it yet.
Lin Zisu secretly watched from behind, such a move would kill two birds with one stone, not only killing the obtrusive side concubine Wei Yunyi, but also branding Lin Jinhua with the iron seal of a criminal!
Seeing that the horse was getting closer and closer, if the hoof kicked forward again, it would have kicked Wei Yunyi. Just when Wei Yunyi was also pale with fright, he suddenly heard the horse neighing, and the horse's head was crushed on the spot. The man chopped it down, and blood was splashed all over the place.
Everyone breathed out softly, but Wei Yunyi's body went limp and he passed out, but fortunately someone came to catch him in time.
Yuan Luyi was terrified, and rushed to help her, but was glared at: "I asked you to protect her, and that's how you protect her!"
"Ninth brother..." Yuan Luyi's eyes were full of tears, and she looked at the sullen Zhao Qing with aggrieved expression.
Lin Jinhua also ran over in a hurry and explained: "It was my carelessness that harmed the side concubine, please punish the Ninth Prince."
Zhao Qing knew it had nothing to do with them, but when he thought that Wei Yunyi was almost kicked to death by this crazy horse just now, he couldn't beat him. He just said indifferently: "It's getting late, you should go back earlier." After all, turn around and leave.
Lin Zisu saw from a distance that Zhao Qing was no longer acting like a fool, but he actually had a bit of King Ning's aura, and hurried forward, holding up his skirt, and said, "His Royal Highness Ninth Prince..."
Zhao Qing gave her a cold look, and before she could finish speaking, he turned around and got into the carriage and left.
The people present were in an uproar, and began to secretly point fingers at Lin Jinhua.Seeing this, Lin Zisu felt less resentment at being treated coldly by the Ninth Prince just now, and looked at the crowd pitifully and said, "This matter has nothing to do with Seventh Sister, it's because the horse is crazy..."
"Okay Zisu, I know you are kind-hearted, but now the evidence is convincing that she is a evil star, whoever gets involved will be unlucky!" Miss Kang said loudly.
"Shut up, what else can you do besides spreading rumors!" Yuan Luyi said fiercely to her without thinking, Wei Yunyi almost died just now, and she was brutalized by the Ninth Prince again, her stomach was full of fire Well, they are still here singing and playing oboe.
"Princess, what the minister said is the truth..."
"What fact?" Yuan Lvyi pointed at her angrily, "You are the cousin of Kang Shilang's family, right? Your uncle died and you dressed up to show off to play, and now you are here talking nonsense and slandering people. Is it because you are jealous? Jinhua was born prettier than you?"
Yuan Lvyi wasn't considered to have a bad temper, but now that these people didn't know what to do, they pissed her off, and she exploded.
Miss Kang's face turned red. She didn't know that she was so shameless. Looking at the crowd of eyes staring at her, she could only say: "Every time someone goes to Lin Jinhua's place, something happens to her. Doesn't this just mean that she is a villain?" star?"
Xiong Shilin was a little timid at the side, and wanted to agree with Yuan Lvyi, but seeing her blushing and thick neck, she swallowed her words again.
Yuan Lvyi listened, and snorted lightly: "According to what you said, every time a murder case occurs, Jing Zhaoyin is present. Besides, there is no king in the world. Could it be that what happens every day in our Dajin Dynasty is blamed on the present day?" Can the Holy One succeed?"
How could Miss Kang dare to respond to this, she muttered a few times, and turned to look at Lin Zisu, Lin Zisu hurried forward and said: "Princess, don't be so angry, Miss Kang is innocent if she doesn't know. "
"That's right, Princess, it's getting late, so I'll go back first." Xiong Shilin said hurriedly.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Lin Jinhua said with a slight smile, "Young Master Xiong has a sore on the corner of his mouth. It's better to see a doctor earlier. This disease is caused by long-term accumulation, and has nothing to do with the right time and place."
Xiong Shilin was a little embarrassed, could it be that she saw her illness?He frowned slightly, nodded and wanted to leave, but was pulled back by Ms. Kang: "Mr. Xiong, don't listen to her, how does she know what disease to see? I don't know where I learned some three-legged cat skills, and I'm about to come out to deceive people." .”
Xiong Shilin took a dissatisfied look at her ugly face, and hurriedly opened her hand and left in a hurry.
Yuan Luyi was about to speak, but was stopped by Lin Jinhua: "Princess, why don't you go back and see the side concubine earlier." If it continues to make trouble, it is not good for anyone. If a woman has a bad reputation, how will she marry her in the future? , even though she is destined to be sent to be married...
Yuan Lvyi is not a reckless person, she knows how to measure, looked at her and said: "I took you out for a walk, I never thought that such a bad thing would happen to me. I will invite you to my house for tea later. The emperor got a new taste of tea, he likes it very much, and he also rewarded his grandfather a lot."
Seeing that she quickly calmed down, Lin Jinhua also rolled her eyes and nodded.
When she jumped away, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Zisu on the side: "Fourth sister, the Ninth Prince will definitely find out where the crazy horse came from when he goes back this time, do you know where the horse is?" here?"
Seeing her burning eyes, Lin Zisu tightened her palms slightly, but she only smiled and said, "How would I know?"
"Really? That's good. Although the Lin family has the name of the General's Mansion, they are not considered a big family. Especially the second uncle has not yet made military achievements. If he is accused of murdering the royal family, he may not be punished." Light." Lin Jinhua smiled lightly.
Lin Zisu froze, looked at her coldly and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Lin Jinhua saw that the crowd had dispersed, and looked at the Kang family lady without saying much: "My sister specially invited the Kang family lady here, I'm afraid it will be a failure."
Seeing that she seemed to have seen through her plan, Lin Zisu slapped her hard on the face in a panic, but before the slap touched Lin Jinhua's face, she grabbed her wrist.
"you……"
"It's getting late, I'll go back first." Lin Jinhua let go of her hand, looked at her expression of disbelief, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up, and turned away.
Lin Zisu saw that today's design still failed to hurt her in the slightest, and her beautiful little face was about to be distorted with anger. Out of the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Kang Yue, who was also very angry, and came up with a plan. Said: "I remember that there is an elder brother in your natal family, who is a bit stupid, but born with great strength, and also likes to toss women?"
Kang Yue frowned, and asked her in dissatisfaction: "What are you talking about him for, you idiot."
Lin Zisu smiled: "It's okay, I just remembered it suddenly. Hey, fortunately, Seventh Sister will not go out alone, otherwise everything will be ruined if I run into your brother."
Kang Yue's eyes lit up, and she glanced at her: "She usually doesn't go out alone?"
"Of course not, unless someone invites you." Lin Zisu didn't continue, and said that she was tired, so she went back home, but Kang Yue was very happy.Because cousin Kang Jiao didn't like Lin Jinhua, she didn't like it at all, and she didn't like her even more when she saw her good-looking, smart and so many people helping her today.She watched the Lin family's carriage getting farther and farther away, snorted lightly, and went back triumphantly regardless of her already ugly face becoming more and more distorted.
Back at the Lin Mansion, before Lin Jinhua had time to return to Luoxia Garden, she heard rumors that the old patriarch of the Lin family had arrived and was dealing with Lin Xiyu in the temporary ancestral hall.
Cai'er brought hot tea to her, and said in secret: "This old patriarch is very arrogant. As soon as he entered the mansion, he accused our Lin mansion of not caring about the people in the clan, saying that we are extravagant and wasteful."
Lin Jinhua took a sip of the tea, the aroma was tangy, and she felt better. She smiled and said, "Don't worry about him." The old patriarch has such a greedy and stingy temperament. If he is still alive, he can still bear it without letting him search too much. This time, the second wife is probably eager to give away more, so that he can deal with Lin Xiyu.
"Then why don't we just go over and have a look? This old patriarch is very angry, if you don't go, you will find a reason to make a fool of you later." Cai'er worried.
Lin Jinhua thought about it, but still didn't go.Whether to go or not, with the temperament of the two aunts and the old team leader, she was not at peace, so why bother to find it unhappy, she simply figured out how to win over the monk who will become deceased in Puji Temple in the future.
At this moment in the ancestral hall, Lin Xiyu was still drinking tremella and lotus seed soup in peace of mind in the room, waiting for the day when she would dress up beautifully and go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to thank her, but she didn't know that the patriarch suddenly came and ordered someone to drag her here shrine.
The old patriarch was a thin old man. Seeing that she was standing upright and not kneeling down, he slammed his hand on the table and scolded: "Don't kneel down!"
"I don't kneel, what are you, worthy of my kneeling?" Lin Xiyu was only thinking that she could become the Ninth Prince's Concubine, so it was absolutely impossible for her to kneel right now.
The old patriarch only felt that his majesty had been challenged, so he immediately ordered: "Beat her to the knees!"
Immediately, a fierce woman from the clan stepped forward and slapped her blindfolded, and then kicked her to the ground.
Lin Xiyu has never been beaten like this by anyone at such an age, and her eyes turned red immediately: "Old man, I will become the concubine of the Ninth Prince in the future, if you dare to hit me, the Ninth Prince will never let you go!"
"Presumptuous! You dare to say such shameless words. It seems that you entered the filthy place of the brothel voluntarily!" The old patriarch was so angry that his beard trembled, and he directed the two women: "Give me [-] first." a board!"
Without saying a word, the two picked up the thick sticks and started beating.
Twenty sticks down, half of Lin Xiyu's life was lost.
The eldest lady went back to her mother's house early in the morning, and when she came back, she heard that Lin Xiyu was dragged to the ancestral hall. When she arrived, she saw her daughter lying on the ground, the clothes on her back were stained red with blood, and she immediately fainted , the whole person almost fell to the ground.
When Lin Xiyu saw the eldest lady coming, she dared to cry: "Mother, save me, he is going to kill me..."
Why didn't Da Furen feel distressed, she hurried forward to protect him: "Hurry up and invite the doctor!"
The old patriarch sneered: "What kind of doctor, she deserves what she deserves. A woman is disrespectful and disrespectful. If she doesn't beat her to death, I will be kind!"
The eldest lady is not like Lin Xiyu, she stared at his thin, sallow face with a cold face: "My master is a fifth-rank official after all, and my father is a sixth-rank mansion, if you beat me to death today Dear Xiyu, I see how many of your sons and grandsons have to pay for their lives!"
"You—!" The old patriarch gritted his teeth when he met someone who was also ruthless. , you want to lynch on the boundary of my Lin family, don't blame me for being rude." After saying that, Lin Xiyu was carried back immediately.
The old patriarch was so angry that he almost smoked, and when the people in the big house left, the second wife who had been listening to the side came out, and sighed: "The elder sister-in-law has always been strong and domineering, and the patriarch has been troubled." The man brought out a small plate, and there were four or five large ingots of silver ingots neatly placed in the plate, which may add up to two or thirty taels.
The old patriarch's eyes lit up, but he sighed and smiled pretending to be reserved: "Forget it, I don't care about this woman today, but I will not let her go when the ancestral hall is repaired and there is a public trial. She can't even keep up with a woman's derong words, so she doesn't need to rest."
Mrs. Ye smiled slightly, and the old patriarch suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "Where is Nier from the third room? What is her name..."
"Lin Jinhua, the princess invited her to go out for tea with Zisu earlier in the morning, I'm afraid she just came back and rested in the courtyard." Ye's eyes flickered.
The old patriarch nodded, thought for a while, and asked again: "This time Sanfang heard that he has made military exploits again. The emperor may have rewarded him. My two grandchildren are not young this year, and they can enter the court when they arrive." When I was an official, it would be even better if I could marry another young lady from everyone. It doesn’t have to be too good, just the first daughter of a fourth or fifth grade official’s family is fine, and the concubine’s daughter is not. If you are not favored, it’s useless to marry.”
Seeing his shameless look, Mrs. Ye chuckled: "These are trivial matters. Jinhua has a good relationship with the ladies in the capital. For example, Princess Yuan and the daughter of Wang Yushi's family are all first-class. Now, when the third younger brother comes back, why don't you want to find a high-ranking official for the children in the clan? The clan is the root of the Lin family, and they will never forget it."
"That's good, that's good." The old patriarch was very happy, and he was even more happy when he looked at the dozens of silver ingots.
Ye Shi smiled: "You can live in the mansion with peace of mind these few days. If you don't want to go to Jinhua to speak, I will speak for you."
The old patriarch was more and more satisfied with Mrs. Ye, and sighed softly: "At the time when the second child married you, I thought you were just from a businessman, and could not be compared to the daughter-in-law of a sixth-rank official. Now it seems that you are more sensible than her." Knowing that there are more rules, you will be able to live in peace when the big house divorces her later."
Mrs. Ye hurriedly said: "Isn't that hard work, old patriarch?"
"Where..."
The two exchanged pleasantries like this for a long while, and Ye Shi came out of the room until it was time to eat, and immediately threw away the handkerchief in disgust.
Lan Qiu on the side laughed lightly: "They country bumpkins, lazy toads want to eat swan meat for free, it's really fantastic."
Mrs. Ye smiled coldly, raised her hand to touch the additional wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and her complexion became even colder: "I just want to praise them so that they don't know how high the sky is, and when the time comes, Sanfang can't deliver this swan meat, so they just wait to be caught These stingy households, let’s toss to death.” After finishing speaking, he looked at the clothes on his body in disgust, and frowned: “Hurry up and go back to wash and change clothes.” After finishing speaking, he went directly, but did not find that he just came back from home and happened to hear these things Mama Yang who spoke.
After Yang's mother went back to settle down, she wanted to come back early to take care of her. When she heard this, her legs were weak, and she hurried back to report to Lin Jinhua.
Lin Jinhua was sitting at the table and preparing to eat at the moment. After listening to her, she was indifferent. She also knew the true colors of these people in the previous life. It is not surprising to hear it now.
Cai'er, however, was furious: "These shameless people still want to get something for nothing, and they don't look down on the concubine daughters of rich families. How can those concubine daughters look down on them? Bah!"
Mama Yang has been following her for the past few days, and she also knows that Lin Jinhua has always been lenient with her servants, and Cai'er is used to being so presumptuous, so she replied: "Miss, I heard what the second lady said, and I'm afraid I want you to do these things." What's the matter?"
"Yeah." Lin Jinhua nodded lightly, looked at her respectful but clever appearance, and felt that she was a useful person, so she said, "Have you ever had dinner?"
Seeing her calm look, Mama Yang felt a little strange. Could it be that Miss Qi didn't understand what she meant?
"The slaves are in a hurry to serve, and there is no time to eat in the future, but Miss Seven..."
Before she finished speaking, Lin Jinhua ordered two untouched dishes on the small table, and said, "Go and eat first, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."
Mother Yang turned her head to look at Cai'er in confusion, Cai'er couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly said: "Miss, why are you not in a hurry, I heard that today's young lady was almost beaten to death by the old patriarch, he Relying on the name of the patriarch, but dare to do anything."
Lin Jinhua looked at her amusedly: "Why are you in a hurry, she has the name of patriarch, and I also have the name of Miss Lin Jiaqi." The old patriarch is easy to deal with, but it is the second wife who manipulates him behind the scenes.
Seeing that she still didn't take it seriously, Cai'er was so angry that she didn't know what to say.
Mama Yang felt something, and said to Cai'er, "Miss probably has a countermeasure in mind."
Cai'er went to look at Lin Jinhua, Lin Jinhua only smiled slightly, and from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the respectful mother Yang, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
At night, the Lin Mansion had already calmed down. Lin Jinhua changed into a black cloak and went to the back alley of the Lin Mansion. The sixth child was already waiting.
After being beaten up by Xiong Shilin today, the bruise on his face was still there, and when he saw Lin Jinhua coming out, he stood respectfully from afar.Seeing that she was so dissatisfied with the people of the Lin Mansion before, she thought she must be a cousin or a favored girl, but she was actually Prince Ning's prospective concubine, Miss Seven of the Lin Mansion.
Seeing his reserved look, Lin Jinhua sighed inwardly, but said calmly, "How about the matter I asked you to investigate?" The second lady still wanted to invite the master to come, fearing that she would use the old patriarch to act as a demon together.
Lao Liu hurriedly said: "I haven't found it yet, but there is a wandering monk in the capital. I heard that it is very effective. Many wives have invited him to the mansion to do it, even Mrs. Dingnanhou .”
Lin Jinhua did not expect Mrs. Hou to invite him.
She frowned slightly, and said, "Go and stare at this monk and find out his background." After thinking for a while, she took out the bright yellow jade pendant that the strange man in Puji Temple gave her before and handed it to the sixth child: "Take it Go to Yunshuijian and let them investigate."
"This is..." Lao Liu looked at the jade for a long time, and knew it was a good thing, but in the clouds and waters, how could she know that place?
"What's the matter?" Seeing that he was stunned and silent, Lin Jinhua asked Chi Chi.
The sixth child bit his lip slightly and shook his head: "I know, I'll check it later."
Seeing that he was still in single clothes, Lin Jinhua smiled slightly and said, "Why are you so cautious, I am not a person who pays attention to politeness, and you are not my slave, you just use money to do things for me. If the house is ready, you will Clean yourself up, find a place you like to live in, and you won't be a beggar in the capital from now on."
Lao Liu clenched his hand holding the jade pendant slightly, tears flashed in his eyes, but he couldn't tell if it was because he was moved or he was embarrassed by the woman's relief, he just smiled in relief: "Yes."
"By the way, do you have a name?" Lin Jinhua asked.
Lao Liu raised his head to meet her pair of dark eyes looking at him, and immediately lowered his eyes again, shaking his head: "Brother always calls me Lao Liu, I don't remember what my name is."
Lin Jinhua paused for a moment before saying, "Yesheng, born in the night, free to come and go, how about it?"
"Yesheng?" Lao Liu smacked the two words, nodded with a smile, his slightly immature face was full of relief.
After explaining the matter, Lin Jinhua turned around and left.Lao Liu watched the person disappear around the corner, then slowly straightened his bent back, turned and left.
After he left, Lin Jinhua came out from the corner door.He was literate from the very beginning, and he could tell that the jade given to him just now was a good jade, so how could he even forget the name?Could it be that it was not a coincidence to meet him in that West Lane that night?
Thinking of this, Lin Jinhua shook her head. She just felt that she was too cautious and overthinking. If someone had a name in the previous life, she couldn't have no impression of it.
After thinking about it, he turned and went back to the room.
The people in Luoxia Garden rested early, and she returned to the room without lighting a candle, she took off her coat and was about to rest, when suddenly a masculine breath approached, so scared that she subconsciously raised her hand to hit her, but her fist was caught by a slightly He held it with a rough but warm big hand, and then his hoarse voice came: "I really want to be a widow in the future."
"Zhao Huai... my lord." Lin Jinhua blurted out to call his name, but turned the corner cleverly.
She could see his phoenix eyes hiding a smile under the thin night light, she was relieved, and finally said: "The injury on the prince's body is healed?"
"Yeah." Zhao Huaiyan hid the wound on the other hand. After seeing General Lin and taking Murong Chen's medicine, he missed him more and more, so he rode back all night. His hand was tied up by the rein for a long time. There are split bloodstains.
When Lin Jinhua heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't know why she was so relieved. Could it be because she was worried that if he died, she would have no thighs to hug?Yes, it must be so.
Lin Jinhua comforted herself like this, and took a step back to invite him to sit down and talk first, but she didn't know that the man put his hands around her waist and pulled him into his arms before sitting comfortably on the stool: "Siqing is like a madman .”
A simple sentence, in the night, it seemed as if the wind would blow away, but it just broke into Lin Jinhua's frozen heart.
She was startled, and said a little stupidly: "Your Highness has been poisoned again?"
The corners of Zhao Huaiyan's thin and cool mouth evoked a hint of a smile. He looked at the people close to him lightly, and felt content without doing anything. However, Lin Jinhua felt uncomfortable and twisted and wanted to go down. The flames swished into a big fire.
"Don't move anymore..." Zhao Huaiyan looked at her with some restraint: "Good boy..."
Lin Jinhua knew people's affairs well. At this moment, she felt something pushed up under her clothes, and immediately felt that the air around her seemed to be embarrassingly condensed.
She didn't dare to move at all, didn't dare to blink her eyes, her mind was frantically trying to find something to break the embarrassment, and said: "What is the prince doing this time?"
"Suppress the bandits." He looked at the person who was not daring to move at this moment in a good mood, thinking of the pain he couldn't ask for in his previous life, he felt a little happy in his heart.
Lin Jinhua knew that he was reticent, so he could only search for something to say, but after talking for a long time, the bravery underneath seemed to have no intention of leaving the scene.
Zhao Huaiyan listened to her desperately looking for something to say, while looking at her carefully with the faint light.I had seen her up close in my previous life. On the day she married Zhao Kan, she accidentally fell into his arms. She was terrified like a frightened rabbit, but he saw her white and delicate skin under her red hijab. And those bright, moist eyes.I haven't seen her for a few days, and her body seems to be getting better, with a small bump on her chest, which seems a bit feminine.
The more he thought about it, the stronger the evil fire in his heart became.
Lin Jinhua's mouth was so dry that she almost didn't say what she ate yesterday, when she suddenly heard him say: "Don't worry, it's still a long time, let's talk slowly later."
Lin Jinhua paused for a moment, and took their marriage contract seriously.
She suddenly calmed down, and looked at him indifferently: "How much do you remember about the previous life that the prince said?"
"Not much, I remember everything that is related to you, and I don't know anything that is not related to you." It is true that he didn't dream about anything else, but only her was enough.He remembered that when she died in the previous life, he stole her ashes and put them in his coffin, but he didn't think that the fate of the previous life would really come true in this life.
Lin Jinhua looked into his deep eyes, and her heart jumped wildly.
She covered her heart in a daze, then looked up at him: "If that's the case, does the lord know what I want to do in this life?"
"know."
Lin Jinhua lowered her eyes. If he knew it, he should know that he would take revenge by any means and become a vicious person full of scheming...
Before she could finish her thoughts, she took that warm hand and said, "I'll help you. Life is the same, death is the same hole."
Lin Jinhua was silent. She didn't know Zhao Huaiyan, and she knew that he was not lying. If he used her for other purposes, there was no reason at all.In his previous life, even with the help of the queen, he never thought of winning the throne, and in this life he never thought of using himself to do it.But love?She was in a daze, the experience of being cheated because of love in her previous life was too painful, so she didn't dare to take one step forward and give away her heart without reservation.
Zhao Huaiyan understood her hesitation: "It's still a long time." There is always time to prove it.
The two sat like this, and in the early morning, Zhao Huaiyan decided to go back and take a cold bath. Before leaving, he looked at her deeply and said: "Don't believe what outsiders say, trust me."
Lin Jinhua raised her eyebrows slightly. Was he referring to Zhao Kan saying that he could not enter Taoism?
"Yeah." She has witnessed it, so she won't believe it.
Zhao Huaiyan didn't mean that, but seeing the evil smile hidden in the corner of her mouth, she turned and left without revealing it.
He left, but Lin Jinhua's whole back was stiff, and she didn't dare to move all night. She was sore all over now, and fell asleep under the quilt on the bed until the second lady came to invite her in the afternoon, saying that the patriarch And the two older brothers in the clan want to see her.
Cai'er and Mama Yang were both serving, Bai Lan's health improved a lot, and she was eager to come to serve her, the small room became lively all of a sudden.
Cai'er picked out the plain brocade clothes that Zhao Huaiyan sent last time, and said with a smile, "Miss, please wear this." At least it will let those who speak loudly know that Miss is still protected by King Ning.
Lin Jinyu shook her head when she saw through her small thoughts. Those people were like blood-sucking insects. If they knew that Zhao Huaiyan was there to help, they would be even more ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth.
She picked out a slightly worn-out dress, and only used ordinary jewelry, and led Mama Yang and Cai'er there.
In the flower hall in the front yard, Lin Zisu was sitting at the lower end, because the eyes of the two so-called cousins from the clan kept falling on her. One of them was well-dressed as a scholar, and the other was Without any rules, Erlang cocked his legs and bit the shortbread, and the thief looked her up and down.
As soon as Lin Jinhua arrived, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "This is the seventh younger sister, Jinhua."
From the corners of Lin Jinhua's eyes, she glanced at the two strange men. The scholar was dressed in a blue robe, and he looked fairly upright, but his eyes and brows revealed a cover-up calculation, while the other was born with a rough face and an ugly face. The patriarch is very similar, with a pair of eyeballs looking at her obscenely from top to bottom since she started.
Just when she was about to walk in front of him, he suddenly stood up and stretched out his arms to hug her. If it wasn't for Cai'er who quickly pushed him away, Lin Jinhua might be hugged by him at this moment.
Cai'er was so angry that her face turned green: "What are you doing, this is Miss Lin Jiaqi, the future Princess Ning!"
The man was pushed away, and he was about to be angry, but when he saw Cai'er's petite and cute face, he immediately smiled wretchedly: "That's how we greet our younger sisters, why do you despise us from the countryside when you come to your official house? ?”
Seeing his rascal appearance, Cai'er was so angry that he wanted to reason. Lin Jinhua had already seen the cold face of the old patriarch in the first seat, and immediately pulled Cai'er down, before saying to the man, "This is cousin Lin Gui, right? , the maid is ignorant, but she follows the rules of the house, cousin, please don't mind." Lin Jinhua smiled lightly.
Lin Gui looked at her and smiled, his whole body was taken aback.The gentle and delicate eyebrows and sweet smile are really beautiful!
"Ahem..." The old patriarch saw that his grandson was stupefied, and he coughed dryly twice, then the man dressed as a scholar stood up and gave Lin Gui a hand, and said, "Brother, this is the capital, we must follow the rules of the capital. "
"I know." Lin Gui came back to his senses, and the man hurriedly smiled at Lin Jinhua, "My name is Lin Yu, and I'm the third in the family. You can call me third brother."
Lin Jinhua responded with a faint smile, and then sat down at the side. At this time, Ye Shi, who had been holding tea and drinking silently, smiled and said: "The brothers and sisters of the gatekeeper are so harmonious, and I, as an aunt, can rest assured."
Lin Jinhua raised her eyebrows slightly, and found that Lin Gui's eyes were still going back and forth between her body and Cai'er, and the bottom of her eyes turned cold.
Seeing that she was silent, Mrs. Ye asked again: "It's getting colder today, why are you wearing this thin cotton cape, where are your fox fur and mink fur?"
"Jinhua doesn't feel cold, and my mother advocated frugality when she was here, and Jinhua is in her filial piety, so she doesn't plan to wear those." Lin Jinhua saw that she wanted to reveal all her bottom in one breath, and the corners of Lin Jinhua's mouth slightly curled up.
The old patriarch frowned slightly, but said nothing.
Lin Gui couldn't wait: "It's okay, it's the same after the filial piety."
Lin Jinhua smiled lightly: "What your cousin said is that it's not good to be so plain all the time, and embarrass the Lin family. The Lin family can't be called a great family, but mother's family is from a scholarly family, and the rules are very strict. Jinhua will definitely be one One strictly followed."
The more she said this, the more ugly the face of the old patriarch would be. If she followed the strict rules of the big family, how would she be willing to help herself?He only said: "Xu's family is a foreign family, how can it be compared with Lin's family?"
"To the patriarch, it's a foreign family, but to Jinhua, it's a family member. Jinhua will also marry into a wife in the future, can he still forget about the Lin family?" Lin Jinhua retorted with a gentle smile, and didn't try to save him. Planned, just smiled and said: "The patriarch likes to joke, if Jinhua is stupid, I'm afraid he will take it seriously."
Hearing this, the old patriarch didn't know whether it was a seizure or not, he just picked up his teacup and drank tea, squinting at Ye Shi.
Ye Shi knew that Lin Jinhua was smart, but she didn't know that she was so eloquent, but she didn't intend to take her down immediately, she just said: "Your two brothers just came to the capital, and you are familiar with the capital, take them out for a walk. "
Lin Jinhua raised her eyebrows slightly, how can a woman who has not left the court take a man out?But as soon as she opened her mouth, Lin Zisu said again: "Let's forget it, Jinhua is now an honored person, how can she be willing to take her cousin with them, wouldn't it be a loss of face for her?"
Lin Gui was not happy to hear that, so he hurriedly said to Lin Jinhua: "Sister Jinhua, you don't think of us like this, do you look down on us from the countryside? I can tell you that we will also enter the court next year as officials and take over from rich families. daughter-in-law."
Lin Yu glanced at Lin Gui indifferently, and did not speak wisely.
The old patriarch also snorted softly: "No matter how noble you are, you are still from the Lin family, and your name is still recorded in the Lin family's genealogy."
Cai'er had never seen such unreasonable people before, she was about to speak, but Mama Yang quickly stopped her and shook her head at her.
Seeing that she couldn't push and procrastinate, Lin Jinhua could only get up and said with a smile: "Fourth sister, you are joking, Jinhua is a younger sister, so she should take her two cousins out of the house."
Hearing this, Mrs. Ye almost choked on the tea. If this got out, people would say that Mrs. Ye deliberately damaged the reputation of her niece.
She put down the teacup and said with a smile: "I won't go today, I heard Princess Yuan invited you to her house in a few days?"
Lin Jinzheng glanced at Lin Zisu who was looking away, feeling helpless, and could only say: "I have only met the princess twice..."
"Then what's the matter, we will definitely like the princess." Lin Gui rushed to say.
Lin Zisu almost didn't laugh out loud, so she held back her laughter, and said with a smile, "Your Cousin and Yu Cousin are both good-looking talents, and the princess is also unmarried now, which is great."
When Lin Gui heard this, he became more confident: "Sister Zisu is absolutely right. Although we are from the countryside, we will have an official position next year. She is also young, strong and talented, and she is down-to-earth. She is also worthy of her."
Lin Yu was a little embarrassed, but he was self-aware. Looking at the disdainful eyes of the servant girl behind Lin Jinhua, he knew what was in his heart. He just smiled and said, "If Cousin Jinhua is inconvenient, that's fine..."
"What's the inconvenience? Jinhua is now the princess-to-be, and her father has military achievements. Taking the two elder brothers there will make her princess look good." Lin Zisu glanced at Lin Jinhua, who had not changed his face, and hummed in his heart She sighed, and said to her: "Right, sister Seven? The two cousins came from afar, so you can't wait any longer."
Cai'er murmured to herself, these people were not invited by her lady...
Lin Jinyu couldn't refuse, otherwise she would be a villain, and she would just follow the advice of the second lady, but Yuan Lvyi just mentioned it casually, and she smiled and agreed.
Before leaving, she looked at the second lady and said: "By the way, the second aunt said that there are a lot of ginseng and bird's nests at home. They are all excellent things. It is best to replenish the health of the two cousins and the old patriarch. I heard that Rongfengfang in the capital has produced some good clothes, so I can make some good clothes for them, and when the party comes, people won’t think that my Lin family is mean to their distant relatives, right?”
Ye's face froze slightly, it wasn't that he was stingy with these things, but these people are simply a bottomless pit, which can't be filled, if you have it once, you will have it twice...
The old patriarch smiled happily when he heard it: "It's rare that you have such a heart."
Lin Jinhua smiled slightly: "It's rare for the patriarch to come over, so I'll treat him as a good host." After saying that, he left.
Lin Gui was overjoyed when he heard that ginseng bird's nest was going to make new clothes, so he stopped Mrs. Ye and said, "Then I'll trouble the second aunt. Should I find someone to measure my size, or should I measure it myself and send it to your house?"
Lin Zisu looked at this shameless man, her face turned blue with anger, she gritted her teeth, turned her head and left.
Lin Yu is not interested in Lin Zisu. Although Lin Zisu is beautiful, her father has not yet acquired a high-ranking official, and she has no talent. Unlike Lin Jinhua, although her mother's family has declined, she is no better than the second wife's merchant. With a strong family background, not to mention that his father has made a triumphant military victory, she even promised King Ning...
Thinking like this, he left in advance and followed Lin Jinhua's direction.
On the way back, Cai'er was very angry: "What kind of people are they, they dare to be beggars here!"
"Miss Cai'er, be careful, this is outside." Mother Yang warned in a low voice.
"I just can't help it..."
"If you can't help it, you have to hold it back!" Lin Jinhua suddenly said coldly.
Cai'er was slightly taken aback, she lowered her head and said nothing.
Lin Jinzheng sighed in her heart, but her face was only serious: "Even though I want to protect you, you still don't hold back, and put your troubles in other people's hands and let them punish you. I can save you again and again. , can I still save you countless times?"
"Miss..." Cai'er knew that what she said was reasonable, but she couldn't see that the person who was supposed to receive the most preferential treatment in this mansion was bullied like this.
Lin Jinhua looked at her like this, shook her head and said no more, but Lin Yu heard her words in the dark, and only pretended to catch up with her when she was about to leave.
"Sister Jinhua..." He stepped forward quickly, looking at the woman who was only touching his shoulders, what he said just now was very clear, which shows that she is also very smart.
Lin Jinyu looked at the calculation in his eyes when he looked at herself, and felt a little disgusted, but she just acted ordinary on the face, and smiled: "If Cousin Yu has something to do, just ask someone to pass it on. After all, this is a woman's back house."
Lin Yu didn't expect her to mention this, and he was a little embarrassed, but he hurriedly smiled and said, "I apologize for what happened just now. We just came to the capital, and we don't understand many rules. In the future, we will have to rely on Jinhua Sister, support me a lot."
"How dare you take the word "supporting and supporting", Jinhua is just a girl in the boudoir." She paused, looked at Lin Yu who had no intention of leaving, then turned to look at him and smiled: "I heard that cousin Yu recited the Four Five Five Classics It is very thorough, next year Chunwei will definitely be on the list."
"That's exactly why I am..." He looked at Lin Jinhua's expression tentatively halfway through his sentence, and seeing that she was still gentle and gentle, he smiled and said, "I also know that the officialdom is dark, so I am worried that there will be people in the exam." Cheating to get the top three."
"I heard that next year's chief examiner will be Wang Yushi and a group of adults from the Imperial Academy..."
"I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Ning is also one of the chief judges?" He interrupted her and asked.
Lin Jinhua's eyes suddenly turned cold, but she only smiled and said, "His Royal Highness King Ning is even more fair..."
"I hope my cousin can go to the prince and talk about it. After all, I'm fine, is the whole Lin family okay? If you marry into the prince's mansion, there must be someone behind you." His eyes were full of calculations, and he stared at Lin Jinhua as if he was already staring at the superior Top three.
Lin Jinhua frowned, she would never respond to this matter, she just said: "It's getting late..."
"Cousin doesn't agree?" The eagerness in his eyes suddenly cooled down, and he resumed his fake smile, squinted his eyes and said: "I heard that someone is going to point out that the late third aunt had an affair with someone, this matter... ..."
"Stop talking nonsense, our wife is innocent!" Cai'er was annoyed upon hearing this.
Lin Yu was not angry either, he smiled at Lin Jinhua, turned around and left.
Lin Jinhua tightly clenched her hands hanging in her sleeves. This incident also happened in her previous life. Because of this incident, her father fell into rumors and self-blame, and was manipulated by the second room until he died!
