Nong Hua Makeup

Chapter 56
The Lin Mansion at this time.

After Mrs. Lin drank the medicine prescribed by Lin Jinhua for several days, the sores on her body had begun to scab, and there were no new ones, which reassured her a lot.

There was still only one dimly lit candle in the room, and the old lady did not allow people to see it too clearly, lest people discover the rotten sores on her body.

The mother-in-law stood respectfully by the bed, looked at the old lady lying inside the bed curtain, and said in a low voice: "The eldest lady has been outside a few times, are you really missing?"

"Where's the old man?" The old lady's voice was weak. One of Zhongyong's obedient sons died, and the rest was a disobedient dude. Feel life is hopeless.

"The old man is still outside, and he hasn't come back for several days. A few days ago, the second son asked someone to bring a message from the prison, saying that he didn't want to stay in the prison anymore, and asked you to think of a way. You are the only grandson. .” The mother-in-law carefully repeated the original words.

When the old lady thought of Lin Xiteng, she only sullen her face: "I don't live up to it!"

"But old lady, I'm going to Chunwei soon, if the second son comes out, maybe I can still pass the exam." The old woman tentatively said.

The old lady turned over and stared at her coldly: "The eldest lady asked you to be a lobbyist?"

The mother-in-law knew that her temperament was unstable these few days, so she immediately knelt down and admitted her mistake: "My servant also sees you as depressed all day long, thinking that it is always a good thing to have grandson Cheng Huan under her knees, the Lin family can't stay in decline like this, can they?"

"Why don't I want the Lin family to be rich and prosperous!" The old lady gritted her teeth angrily when she thought of this, she tried every means to get rid of the Sanfang family, but in the end she was manipulated to death by Lin Jinhua.

Just as he was thinking, another person came outside.

"Old Madam, Miss Seven is asking to see you." The servant girl said from outside.

When the old lady heard Lin Jinhua's name, she felt a sudden pain in her temples, and she only gritted her teeth: "Please come in." After finishing speaking, she finally looked at the woman kneeling beside her: "Let the eldest lady go back to the house first, and don't allow her to come in." Come here. Tell her that Lin Jinhua already knows that her mother was the one who did it, so let her be more careful."

The mother-in-law's complexion paled slightly: "How could Miss Seven know..."

The old lady murmured, but she didn't tell Lin Jinhua that she had let Lin Jinhua know about it. She just scolded in a cold voice, "You can go if you are told."

"Yes." The mother-in-law didn't dare to delay, she hurried down, and after a while, Lin Jinhua came.

As soon as she entered the room, the room was still stuffy and airtight, the doors and windows were closed tightly, the weather in February had already warmed up a lot, and the room was still sweltering hot with the charcoal brazier.The smell of medicine filled the room, making people sick.

Mother Yang followed beside her, her complexion turned a little pale as soon as she entered the room, suppressing the discomfort in her stomach, she didn't make a sound.

Lin Jinhua looked at the old lady inside who was also staring straight at her through the beaded curtain, and said with a smile, "Grandma's health has improved a lot."

The old lady replied dully, just waiting for her to say the purpose of coming here.

Lin Jinhua didn't make any detours, she talked about what happened in Zheng's mansion in the afternoon, and hid the part about going out of the city, and said: "I believe grandma is very capable in dealing with such things."

"You want me to go to Zheng's mansion to make a fuss?"

"Aside from making a scene, can grandma think of anything else? Zheng Ruyi, I will never allow her to marry into the Lin family. As for how to do it, it depends on grandma's methods." Lin Jinhua said lightly.

The old lady gritted her teeth slightly: "But the Zheng family is still a third-rank general, but now my Lin family..."

"How about the Lin family? My brother is also a mighty general of the third rank, isn't my uncle also a drinking horse of the fourth rank? I heard that my aunt's natal family is now an official of the fourth rank. I believe my grandmother has this confidence. How did you deal with the third-rank in the past? How do you deal with it now? Zheng Mansion." Lin Jinhua smiled.

Seeing her laughing, the old lady felt even more terrifying. She was clearly smiling like a flower, but there was no warmth in her whole body.

She didn't want to offend the Zheng family, but seeing Lin Jinhua's appearance, it was imperative.

She paused, and then said: "I know that Zheng Ruyi has long been in the same ranks as King Jing Zhao Kan, and even if her reputation is ruined, she will also rely on Lin Jincheng. Although you caught her yesterday, outsiders will only Thinking that the deal is done, if the Zheng family insists on marrying her, the Lin family will have to marry her."

"That's why the old lady has to find a way." Lin Jinhua's smile faded. The old lady must have reached some kind of agreement with the Zheng family and even Zhao Kan before the marriage between the elder brother and Zheng Ruyi. Now it is difficult to withdraw the engagement. She must have a way too!

Seeing her threatening face, the old lady trembled with anger as she grasped the quilt, but she had no choice but to respond: "Let me try..."

Lin Jinhua heard the words, turned around and left lightly: "Whether it can be done or not is related to the prescription for next month. Grandma has figured it out." After finishing speaking, the people have already left the room, leaving only the old lady in the room to regret what she did at the beginning. He failed to kill her, but it was too late to regret.

When Lin Jinhua came out of the courtyard, she saw a figure sneaking in the corner of the courtyard. She just pretended not to see it. When she walked a little further, the figure chased after her. Only then did she see it clearly. The old lady's Mrs. Mei.

Seeing that there was no one around, Mrs. Mei dared to go forward to salute, and said in a low voice: "Miss Seven, this servant is here to report the news to you."

"What news?" Lin Jinhua also stopped to listen to her.

"It's the old lady's news. This servant found out that the old lady had secretly ordered someone to give away the medicine you gave her." Mrs. Mei said mysteriously.

Mother Yang looked at Lin Jinhua before asking, "Where did you send it?"

"The maidservant hasn't found out yet, but it seems that the old lady is going to go all out to see the doctor again. Do you remember the doctor Huang who was invited by the mansion before? He seems to have returned to Beijing. I'm afraid the old lady invited him "Grandma Mei rolled her eyes, with a bit of disdain on her face: "This doctor Huang heard that he put someone to death outside and came back after someone broke his leg."

Lin Jinhua naturally remembered this doctor Huang. At that time, just after his mother passed away, this doctor Huang was ordered by the old lady to almost kill Bai Lan.At that time, she thought that his plot hadn't succeeded in the end, so she let him go, but she didn't expect that she would dare to come back.

"Keep watching. If there is any movement, send a message to Mama Yang directly." Lin Jinhua said.

Mrs. Mei hurriedly smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, the servant's eyes are wide open."

Lin Jinhua asked Mama Yang to watch her, and then turned to look at the old lady's yard before walking away.

As soon as she left, Mrs. Mei looked at the scattered money in her hand that Mama Yang had rewarded just now, and happily put the money in her sleeves, and was about to go back to the old lady's yard, when suddenly the figure of the old lady appeared in front of her , it turned out that the eldest lady didn't leave at all after she knew that Lin Jinhua had come, and she had been hiding here all the time, and she happened to hear what Mrs. Mei said.

Mrs. Mei was startled, and before she could yell out, her mouth was covered by Da Furen's people.

The eldest lady stared at her murderously, and then ordered in a low voice: "Tie me up and lock you up in the woodshed. If you dare to eat inside and out, see if I don't skin you this time!"

Mrs. Mei hurriedly shook her head. Seeing this, the eldest lady said coldly, "If you don't want to die, then explain exactly what Lin Jinhua asked you to do."

How can Mrs. Mei still have any loyalty, now she only cares about saving her life, she nods her head like pounding garlic, and when the eldest lady let go of her hand, she tells Lin Jinhua everything that Lin Jinhua asked her to do, including Just now.

After hearing the words, the eldest lady only looked at the direction Lin Jinhua was leaving sarcastically: "She still asked you to pass on the news?"

"Yes."

"That's good..." When the eldest lady thought of Lin Xiyu's transformation from a noble concubine of King Jing to a prisoner, she hated Lin Jinhua to the bone, and said through gritted teeth, "I have something to tell you."

Seeing the murderous intent on Da Furen's face, Mrs. Mei swallowed her saliva and nodded weakly.

Only then did the eldest lady put a cold face on someone to take her down, and went straight to the old lady's room.

As soon as they left, behind the rockery not far from here, Lin Jinhua silently glanced at Mama Yang.

Mother Yang was still in fear, if she hadn't found someone watching from behind as soon as she stepped out of the old lady's yard, she was afraid that she would really be tricked by this Mrs. Mei in the future.

She looked at the calm Lin Jinhua in a low voice, and asked, "Miss, what shall we do? Is the old lady still trustworthy?"

"Zheng Ruyi has been with the eldest lady for a long time. I'm afraid that the old lady will be in trouble this time, but it doesn't matter. If she dares to do bad things, I can make her regret it." Lin Jinhua said indifferently, then turned and left.

The night is like water, and the night of February has already crooked and the moon hangs in the night sky.

Looking at Lin Jinhua's back like this, Mama Yang also felt a chill run up her back, so she gritted her teeth and hurriedly followed.

Lin Jinhua hurried all the way back to the Lin Mansion, only to hear that Lin Jincheng had returned early, and immediately went to Lin Luzhi's room.

"My servant heard that the young master went to the palace tonight, but he didn't see Ms. Wang, only Wang Yushi took him in, had a sip of tea, sat down for a while, and then came out." Mo Feng made tea for her, and saw her sitting by the warm couch After flipping through medical books, he personally lit two candles and came over.

Lin Jinhua saw that the surroundings suddenly brightened a lot, looked at Mo Feng gratefully, and then smiled: "Before at the gate of Xu's residence, Zheng Ruyi made such a big fuss, it's normal for Ru Yan not to see her brother."

Mo Feng smiled and nodded.

Lin Jinhua rummaged through it for a while, found a prescription, and only after copying it overnight did she let out a sigh of relief.

Mo Feng looked at it for a while, then smiled and said, "Miss is going to see Mrs. Luo tomorrow?"

Lin Jinhua nodded with a smile, and said to her, "Go and tell brother that he will send me there when he is on duty tomorrow."

Mo Feng didn't understand what she meant, so he nodded quickly and hurried out.

Seeing that everything had been arranged, Lin Jinhua finally took a rest.

When she fell asleep, Zhao Huaiyan stepped out of her window lightly, and Mo Xue stood outside her window respectfully.

"My lord."

"What happened today, I don't want it to happen again."

Because his back was in the light, Mo Xue couldn't see his expression clearly, but she also knew that she must be extremely indifferent, so she just lowered her head a bit: "Even if this servant dies, I won't let Miss have any trouble again."

Zhao Huaiyan turned her head and glanced at the room, as if she could see her sleeping face through the window, after a while, she still didn't go in.

Mo Xue saw that his expression was slightly dignified, and asked, "Why doesn't the lord see Miss?"

Zhao Huaiyan only frowned slightly, and then said in a tone full of tenderness: "It's good to take care of her." After finishing speaking, she turned and left.

Seeing this, Mo Xue quietly hid in the dark and began to guard Lin Jinhua.

Lin Jinhua had a good night's sleep, and Zhao Huaiyan actually appeared in her dream.When I woke up in the morning, I even looked at the bedside, but there was no sign of his presence.

What is he doing?
Lin Jinhua felt a little missing in her heart, until Mo Feng knocked on the door and came in.

Lin Jinhua paused, looked at her and said, "Why is it you, Bai Lan?" Usually, Bai Lan was by his side to serve.

Mo Feng also shook his head: "Miss Cai'er was also asking this morning, it seems that I didn't see her last night."

Lin Jinhua waited until Bailan's temperament was stable and would not be punctual, so she got up quickly and wanted to go out. Mother Yang brought in hot water from the outside. After hearing this, she only told what happened last night: "The servant saw Bailan girl I want to go out, but I don't know that she hasn't come back yet."

"What did she say she was going to do?" Lin Jinhua asked.

Mother Yang shook her head. Seeing Lin Jinhua's worry, Mo Feng said, "Why don't you ask Mo Yue to check, since she is watching the movement in the capital, she must be able to find out."

"Well, let her check it out." Lin Jinhua was a little worried, because everyone could tell that Bailan liked Big Brother, and she was worried that the girl would be stupid because of Zheng Ruyi's incident yesterday.

Lin Jinhua thought that she still had something to do today, so she didn't delay any longer. After washing up briefly, she changed into a carmine red dress with a pinched waist, with a suet jade pendant and a string of plain necklaces hanging on her waist. Two wisps of hair hang down in front of her body, she is not too rich but she will not lose her ladylike appearance. Today she is going to see Mrs. Luo, so she must not lose her manners.

After washing up, Lin Jincheng also arrived, and she opened the door to see people fidgeting in the flower hall.Dressed in an official uniform, half of his hair was pulled up with a jade crown, and the rest was casually scattered behind his back. His eyes were clear, clear and elegant, and he had the heroic spirit of a general.

"Brother." Lin Jinhua called softly with a smile, and then Lin Jincheng turned his head to look at her, his eyes became gentle as water: "Let's go, I have prepared the carriage."

"Yeah." Lin Jinhua nodded, Lin Jincheng walked beside him, naturally raised his hand to put on the cloak for her, and smiled slightly: "It's still cold, don't catch a cold yourself."

"Yeah." Lin Jinhua responded with a smile, and seeing him smiling happily, her steps seemed to become lighter.

When the two of them went out, Xu Zhaozhao seemed to have just gotten up from the bed, bewilderedly clamoring to follow, but Lin Jinhua had no choice but to take it too, but she was lucky, instead of going to Wang's house with her, she jumped around and wanted to follow Lin Jincheng went to patrol the city.

The road from Lin's mansion to Wang's house was a bit far away, the sky was only slightly bright when they set off, and it was already bright by then.

Mrs. Luo still lives in Wang's house. After all, Wang Ruyan is well-behaved, and the medicinal diet is stewed every day, but the symptoms don't seem to improve after eating too much medicinal diet.

In the morning, Wang Ruyan delivered the herbal food. On the way back, she wondered why Lin Jinhua hadn't come yet, when she heard that Lin Jinhua had already arrived at the door.

"Miss, let's go to the second gate to pick up Miss Lin." Yingtang smiled and said as she looked at her lady who couldn't sleep well these days.

Wang Ruyan nodded, but she didn't notice Yingtang's smile quietly pursed.

When she hurried to the flower hall in the front yard, she found that not only Lin Jinhua was there, but Lin Jincheng was also there, and there was also a beautiful little girl by her side. The two were talking and laughing, very intimate.

Immediately, her eye sockets were a little bit astringent, and her steps froze.

Seeing this, Yingtang hurriedly said, "Miss, those are Mr. Lin and Miss Xu."

Seeing Wang Ruyan, Xu Zhaozhao felt that she was very beautiful and dignified, so he immediately got up and saluted with a smile: "Zhaozhao has met Wang Ruyan's sister."

"You don't recognize life." Lin Jinhua couldn't help laughing when she saw her speak and called her sister.

"I want to call you sister even if you are beautiful, and I want to call you sister-in-law Wang's sister in the future." Xu Zhaozhao assisted.

Lin Jincheng and the red-eyed Wang Ruyan blushed immediately, looked up at each other, and turned away hastily.

Lin Jincheng lowered his eyes, but couldn't help but look up.Her eyes were red, as if she was holding back tears, which made people feel distressed.

"Zhao Zhao, although my brother has this intention, Miss Wang is still an innocent girl after all, you are not allowed to talk nonsense." Lin Jinhua smiled and stared at Xu Zhaozhao, Xu Zhaozhao stuck out his tongue at her, and sat down obediently .

Mrs. Wang looked at the sisters in this family, and she was also emotional.If it weren't for the fact that the Lin family is full of disputes, she would be very satisfied with Lin Jincheng, who is upright and progressive, and Lin Jinhua is a good person. Ru Yan will not be wronged when she marries, but it's a pity...

She sighed in her heart, but she only smiled and said, "You two are close, go to the backyard and talk."

Lin Jincheng heard the meaning of the words, so he didn't want to stay longer. He came here today only under the banner of sending his sister, so he got up immediately: "Jincheng still has business, so I will take my leave first."

"Yes." Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded.

Wang Ruyan also lowered her eyes and stepped aside, watching Lin Jincheng pass by her, she could clearly feel his gaze was on her all the time, and when he passed by, the faint scent of books and ink on her body also came, making her face It turned red with a swipe.

It wasn't until Lin Jincheng left that she dared to raise her eyes, only to find that Lin Jinhua was looking at her with burning eyes.

"Jinhua..." She became more and more ashamed, but fortunately Xu Zhaozhao was very nervous, Dang even followed Lin Jincheng's example to salute Mrs. Wang, and quickly ran out after her.

"Miss Xu, this is..." Wang Ruyan was puzzled, but Lin Jinhua shook her head helplessly: "Zhao Zhao was cast into the wrong birth and became a daughter. If she was a man, she would definitely have a career now." She was joking As she said, Wang Ruyan also understood that the atmosphere became active only when she burst out laughing.

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Wang, the two went directly to Mrs. Luo's courtyard.

Mrs. Luo is almost 60 years old now. She has drank medicinal food for the past few days, and she is still in good health, but she has difficulty moving. When Lin Jinhua came, she just lay on the warm couch to rest.

"Grandmother, the Miss Lin that my granddaughter told you about is here." Wang Ruyan called softly after entering the room.

Mrs. Luo slowly opened her eyes. First, she looked at Lin Jinhua sharply. Seeing that she was smiling at a young age, her eyes softened a little. I can't get up to greet you."

"Old lady, you are welcome. Jinhua is a junior. There is no reason for elders to welcome juniors." She smiled slightly, looked at the dried fruit and strong tea on the table, and said with a smile: "Old lady likes to drink scented tea. ?”

"Scented tea?" The old lady thought it was fresh, and Wang Ruyan remembered the roses that Lin Jinhua had sent before, and said with a smile: "Jinhua puts dried roses into the tea, with a small amount of fresh bud tips, and one or two pitted red dates After drinking it, my mother and I feel that our Qi and blood are much smoother."

"Really?" Mrs. Luo became a little interested when she heard her granddaughter say that.

Lin Jinhua also took the opportunity to laugh and said, "However, it's not the season for roses to bloom. If the old lady doesn't mind, I can let people take those old lotus seeds and make tea with lotus hearts, and the lotus hearts can clear the fire."

Mrs. Luo listened, looked at the dried fruit and strong tea on the table, and laughed: "Usually I don't eat these snacks, but I used to stay with the master in Bashu for a long time, and I like the Sichuan peppercorns in Bashu, but now I eat them every day." If you don’t eat, you will feel no appetite.”

"Women's disease requires a light diet and clear fire. Does the old lady have any discomfort?" Seeing that she was willing to speak, Lin Jinhua knew that she had put down her guard, so she asked.

Mrs. Luo saw that she had hit the point in just a few words, and knew that she was not a swindler, so she talked to her about it.

When women talk, they are always more relaxed. Lin Jinhua is rational and calm from the beginning to the end, and there are no other emotions. Mrs. Luo also likes it. Lin Jinhua is gentle until the end of the medicine. And considerate, and never mentioned anything about the Xu family, if Mrs. Luo recovered from her illness, she would remember her good friends from the Xu family.

When she came out at noon, Wang Ruyan led her for a long time before she asked strangely: "Why didn't you seize the opportunity to tell grandma about the Xu family? I heard that the maid of Zheng's mansion died at the gate of Xu's house yesterday." Well, last night, someone posted a copy of Xu's house, and my father also got a book."

When she mentioned what happened yesterday, her mood fell again.

Seeing this, Lin Jinhua looked at the gazebo behind the trees in front of her, and said with a smile, "Go and sit inside?"

Seeing that she had something to say to herself, Wang Ruyan asked the maids to stay outside, and went into the gazebo with her alone.

"What happened yesterday..." As soon as he entered the gazebo, Lin Jinhua recounted how Zheng Ruyi stunned his brother from the beginning to the end, and then said: "The Zheng family doesn't really like their brother, they just want to use him."

After saying this, Wang Ruyan's eyes widened: "This...how is it possible, after all, Ms. Zheng is a girl who has not left the cabinet, how could she do such a thing?"

Seeing her reaction like this, Lin Jinhua smiled helplessly: "I saw it with my own eyes, and now I'm telling you with my own mouth, the relationship between you and me, if you react like this, you can imagine what will happen if this matter gets out. I'm afraid that she will really force her to marry her, and the Lin family will never have peace."

"No way!" Wang Ruyan stood up excitedly, "How can someone as good as Mr. Lin marry her..." She believed in Lin Jinhua, and such a thing was indeed beyond her imagination. After all, Zheng Ruyi had a good image before, gentle, well-educated, and kind. No one would think that she deliberately framed Lin Jincheng, but she was willing to believe what Lin Jinhua said, and she also believed in Lin Jincheng's character.

"So..." Lin Jinhua looked at her helplessly: "Now the Lin family is trying to find a way to quickly marry a decent girl to my brother. When the Zheng family is going to make trouble, it is impossible to wrong Zheng Ruyi to marry my brother as a concubine. Brother wants to belong, but he doesn't want girls from other people's families."

Wang Ruyan thought of Lin Jincheng's visit to the house yesterday, and her face became slightly hot. Could it be that the person he has a heart for is herself?

Lin Jinhua looked at her with a smile, and before she could speak, she suddenly heard a man's voice.

"You send all these, if Zisu is not satisfied at all, I will not forgive you."

After the man finished speaking, the servant beside him immediately nodded and went to do it.

He was actually standing far away, and Lin Jinhua only vaguely heard what he said. When Wang Ruyan saw the man, she immediately called out, "Brother."

Wang Huiyuan didn't know that there was someone in the gazebo, and when he heard her voice, he immediately turned around in fright, and when he saw Lin Jinhua sitting beside him, his complexion immediately sank.

Wang Ruyan felt strange, how could her brother, who is usually the most temperamental person, have such an expression, she asked in puzzlement: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"When were you here? What did you hear just now?" Wang Huiyuan clenched his hands nervously.

Lin Jinhua noticed the abnormality, so she stood up and smiled, "It's so far away, but I can't hear what the prince is talking about."

Wang Ruyan nodded accordingly.

When Wang Huiyuan saw it, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his complexion improved a lot: "I'm fine."

Lin Jinhua felt that he was somewhat hostile towards her, but she didn't understand why, after all, her relationship with the Wang family was very close.

Seeing that Wang Hui was far from liking her, Wang Ruyan also listened to what she said, but she didn't hold back any longer, she just smiled and said, "Ruyan, I have other things to do, so I will leave first. Mrs. Luo takes her medicine on time and pays attention to her diet It's all right, I'll check back later."

Wang Ruyan also sensed something was wrong, so she could only smile and nod, and asked Yingtang to send her off in person.

After she left, Wang Huiyuan looked at Wang Huiyuan, who had a gloomy face, and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Does Jinhua have something to provoke you, and even if there is, she is a daughter's family. When did you become so small?" degree?"

Wang Huiyuan slightly pursed his lips, glanced at her, and said: "She is not a kind person, you should stay away from her, and Lin Jincheng is even more disrespectful, so don't get too close, I will talk to my parents. "

Wang Ruyan was even annoyed, and pulled his sleeve: "Even if Mr. Lin has a feud with you, you don't have to slander people behind your back like this, big brother, daddy didn't teach you like this."

"I..." Wang Huiyuan was at a loss for words, but only looked at the direction Lin Jinhua was leaving without saying anything.

Lin Jinhua walked out of the palace and glanced at Mo Xue: "Is it possible to hear what Wang Huiyuan said just now?"

"It seems to have mentioned 'Zisu', and asked the servants to deliver something." Mo Feng said.

"Go and find out, who is this Zisu..."

"Yes."

Lin Jinhua's eyes were dim, and after getting into the carriage, she just sat there, closed her eyes slightly, and began to think about her next step.

The palace at this time.

The queen glanced at the court lady who was talking back and forth, and turned the prayer beads in her hand: "The queen mother still hasn't seen that master Huijue?"

"Yes. Now I'm looking at the delicious food and drink, and I don't let other people get close. The slaves went there under the pretext of delivering things, and they were sent back." The maid replied.

The queen gently put down the Buddhist beads she was twisting in her hand, but her expression was not at all relaxed: "So, the queen mother still values ​​this master Huijue. Has anyone outside checked out the background of this Huijue?"

Yun Jiang shook his head, and said respectfully from the side: "The people who went out to investigate said that Huijue's background seems to have been deliberately erased, and they can only find out what happened after he came to the capital."

"So, it's really possible that behind him is the Dingnanhou Mansion..." The queen turned the beads again, her expression relaxed.

"Your Majesty, this Mrs. Dingnanhou is very fond of getting close to you recently. Does it mean that Dingnanhou also intends to take refuge with you?" Yun Jiang asked from the side.

The queen's face was cold: "Dingnanhou is very cunning, and he will not easily express his position before Huai Yan and Zhao Kan have a clear winner, but since this Master Huijue is his man, he is now climbing After getting into the empress dowager, I can give him some sweetness." After saying that, he got up and walked slowly inside, Yun Jiang hurried forward to support him, and asked in a low voice: "What do you want to do?"

The queen glanced at her: "You used to have the most ideas, but now you have nothing to do?"

"How can a servant girl be smarter than the empress?"

The queen smiled, and said: "I heard that she will hold a poetry and painting meeting in a few days, so you can send some things over there. I see that Marquis of Nan has a nephew who really wants to marry the daughter of Wang Yushi's family. Go to the emperor to ask for favors."

"Young lady is smart." Yun Jiang flattered, but the queen just listened.After entering the room, he said coldly: "How is Concubine De now?"

"I heard that the emperor still didn't let her out, but he didn't punish her either. She threw away all the things we sent people secretly, unless it was brought to her by her cronies, otherwise she would not use it, for fear of really contracting the disease. " Yun Jiang said.

The queen lazily leaned on the side of the warm couch, took a sip of tea on one side, and then said with a slight smile: "I heard that she was so domineering a few days ago that she even went to the Lin residence to make a move. That girl of the Lin family is good at medicine of?"

Yun Jiang nodded, and said with deep eyes: "It is rumored among the people that she has good medical skills, and Madam Hou's male fetus seems to have been predicted by her before it was formed."

After hearing this, the queen smiled lightly: "In that case, I will invite her to the palace in a few days."

"Yes." Yun Jiang responded quickly.

Zeng Xuehai didn't know at the moment that the queen was going to the emperor to ask for favor. Recently, the Zeng family lost a lot of money because of the medicine for the epidemic, and was mad with anger.

"It's all the Xu family's fault. If it wasn't for them, how could we have lost so much." The boy beside him said.

Zeng Xuehai's face was very gloomy, and he only gritted his teeth when he heard this.

Just as I was about to go out, I heard that Aunt Ye was asking to see her.

Zeng Xuehai is not an indulgent person, he prefers power and money to women's sex, and he didn't bother to raise his eyelids when he heard this: "Send her back, I'm going out of the house now."

"Where is the son going?"

"Of course I went to see Xu's house!" Zeng Xuehai snorted softly, and went out immediately.

Relying on his uncle being the Marquis of Dingnan, he only brought one or two servants with him when he went out.

After getting out the door and getting on the carriage, he saw a group of beggars rushing out in front of him to block the way.

He didn't have any kindness to give alms, so he lifted the curtain of the car and yelled at the boy: "What are you still doing, drive him away!"

The boy was also in a dilemma: "My lord, they are lying on the ground and refuse to leave, why don't you give them some money..."

"Bastard, where did I get the money?" Zeng Xuehai gave him a dissatisfied look, and looked at the coachman: "If they don't leave, just run over them, even if they die, it's none of my business." After that, Impatiently, he pulled down the curtain.

The coachman didn't have much sympathy, so he raised the whip in his hand and whipped it down severely. The horse immediately raised its hooves and started to run. If the little beggar who was lying on the ground was not running fast, the wheels of the wagon would have run over him. His stomach was rolled over.

A group of beggars were still in shock, but a young man in ink-wash clothes walked out of the alley on one side. Seeing this, he just gave a light snort and asked the others, "Is it all done?"

One of the beggars raised the parts he took off from the shaft just now: "If he doesn't plan to run me over to death, I don't plan to dismantle so many parts."

Lao Liu raised his brows slightly, and chased after him in the direction the carriage had left just now.

Zeng Xuehai is also unlucky today, originally the carriage was dismantled, even if he fell, he would at most break a leg, but just as the carriage arrived at the market, the carriage was instantly torn apart, a man on a fast horse hurried past, he The moment he rolled out of the carriage, the fast horse's hooves kicked him hard on the knee, and then stomped on his body in a panic, making it impossible for him to dodge. Immediately, blood spattered on the spot, leaving only one tone.

The galloping man covered his face with a black scarf, revealing only a pair of indifferent eyes.He reined in the rein for a look, and then drove off.

The people in Zeng's mansion were frightened, and the surrounding people also surrounded them.

The sixth child squeezed behind the crowd, looked at the bloody and bloody Zeng Xuehai, frowned slightly, quietly left the token of the Zheng Mansion on the spot, and then turned away.

When Lin Jinhua returned to Lin's house, the house had already prepared lunch, but Bai Lan hadn't found it yet, so she started to feel a little worried.

After lunch, Xu Boshan asked Lin Luzhi to pay homage to his mother. She waited in the room in the afternoon. There was no news of Bai Lan until sunset, and she knew that something must have happened to Bai Lan.

Mo Feng came back from the outside, looked at Lin Jinhua who was not even interested in embroidering the veil for the prince, and said softly: "Miss, Mo Yue didn't find any news about Bai Lan. After she went out last night, it seemed that someone was picking her up. There was no news."

"There will be news." Hearing this, Lin Jinhua already knew who Bai Lan was in, she closed her eyes and sighed softly, just in time for Mama Yang to come back.

Mother Yang didn't know what happened, she just said: "Miss, something happened in the shop."

"What's the matter?"

"The five shopkeepers in the shop united to beat Zhu Wucai, and they still framed him as greedy for money and wanted to send him to the government." Yang's mother's eyes were red, and her face was slightly flushed, presumably there was a conflict , Those shopkeepers even made a move.

Lin Jinhua frowned slightly: "Did you mention those shopkeepers who have a lady?"

Mama Yang nodded, and Lin Jinhua remembered what happened last night. It was probably because the eldest lady and Zheng Ruyi joined forces to do something.

She immediately said: "Mo Feng, pick some servants who can fight and follow. Mother Yang goes to the Xiong Mansion, finds Xiong Shilin, and tells him that the old lady will report to the authorities to arrest him for rape."

Since the old lady is still taking chances, she will completely cut off her retreat!
Mother Yang gritted her teeth, and was about to turn her head to go out when she heard someone say that Mrs. Mei was at the back corner door and wanted to see Lin Jinhua.

Mother Yang looked back at Lin Jinhua hesitantly, but Lin Jinhua smiled coldly: "It's just in time, let someone come in immediately."

"Yes."

Not long after, Mrs. Mei was brought over.

Seeing that she didn't dare to look at her, Lin Jinhua knelt on the ground trembling as soon as she came in, and then asked, "Why did you come here during the day?"

Mrs. Mei hurriedly said: "Little... Miss, this servant found out that the old lady has arranged a secret meeting with a mysterious person tonight."

"Oh? Where?" Lin Jinhua continued to ask.

Mrs. Mei didn't dare to look at her, let alone noticed anything unusual, and said straightly: "It's just in the capital, but it's just a remote place in the west of the city. I can't name you, but I can take you there."

Lin Jinhua smiled knowingly, and asked lightly, "Can I just take me there alone?"

Mrs. Mei was slightly startled, she raised her head and saw the coldness in Lin Jinhua's eyes, she was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground, her mouth was trembling and she didn't know what to say, but Lin Jinhua agreed.

"Go out and wait for a while. I'll change my clothes and go with you." Lin Jinhua said indifferently.

Mrs. Mei wiped the sweat from her forehead, she didn't dare to think too much, she nodded quickly: "Then...that servant is waiting for you outside." After finishing speaking, she hurried out.

As soon as she left, Mo Feng said: "Miss, why don't you pretend to be your servant and follow her."

Lin Jinhua nodded: "That's exactly what I mean. If Da Furen and Zheng Ruyi are waiting for me there, then Zheng Ruyi must not be in the Zheng residence at this time. It's just..." She paused, then looked at Mo Feng solemnly: "After you pass by, if Bai Lan is here, you must protect her well, and as long as the time can be delayed, it can be delayed."

"Miss wants to..."

"My father and uncle and I just happened to go to Zheng's mansion. If Zheng Ruyi is not at home right now, it's no wonder that the Lin family is being unrighteous." Everyone's lady is not in the room in the middle of the night, how can such a woman who does not know how to behave marry?Even if a rascal like Mrs. Zheng, the Lin family would not accept Zheng Ruyi as a concubine by force.

Mother Yang said cautiously: "The matter about the shop..."

"The shop is probably used to distract us, let's not worry about it, even if you report to the official, you can't die for the time being, at most you will lose some money." Mo Feng said immediately.

Only then did Yang's mother nod: "The servant girl will go to Xiong's mansion immediately."

Lin Jinhua nodded, and hurriedly took Mo Feng to change her clothes.

Mo Feng was about the same size as her, although taller, and wearing a black cloak and veil, it was still unrecognizable.

Mrs. Mei waited anxiously, and when she saw someone coming out from inside, she hurriedly said: "Miss, let's go through the back door."

Mo Feng looked at her wandering eyeballs through the veil, nodded silently, and followed her out.

As soon as the people left, Lin Jinhua immediately went to the front yard to find Lin Luzhi and Xu Boshan who were about to return home after worshiping.

"Father..." She repeated yesterday's matter of Zheng Ruyi's single-minded proposal for marriage, and then said: "My daughter thinks that this matter should be resolved earlier."

"But it's getting late now..."

"And last time General Zheng said that he missed you very much, but it was not easy to come to see him. Now that something like this happened, if you don't go again, I'm afraid Zheng Jiangjun will think you look down on him." Lin Jinhua knew that Lin Lu valued love , especially for Zheng Lai, he was dedicated to promoting him. It wasn't until the last time Zheng Lai tricked Lin Jincheng into being captured by the enemy that the relationship was a little distant, but she knew that he must still have decades of brotherhood in mind.

Hearing this, Lin Luzhi's complexion really changed several times.

Xu Boshan just looked at Lin Jinhua with a slight frown.

Lin Jinhua knew that his uncle knew it well, but if he didn't go today, he would have lost a great opportunity.

"Uncle, let's go there together, and see Ms. Zheng well, and speak clearly, so that my elder brother won't be pointed behind his back." Lin Jinhua only smiled.

Seeing her insistence, Xu Boshan knew that there must be a reason for it. After thinking about it, he nodded accordingly.

Seeing this, Lin Luzhi also sighed: "Okay, let's clean up..."

"It's not too late, there's no need to clean up." Lin Jinhua immediately ordered the carriage to be prepared, and then they hurried to Zheng's residence together. If Zheng Ruyi was really not there, then she would never try to get Lin Jincheng's idea again in her whole life. !
