There was no distinction between wives and concubines in the Di tribe. Marrying Song Liyun was just one more woman in the third brother's house, so Zhao Tinglei didn't take it to heart.
Although Jiang Feng had already mentioned Song Liyun in his letter, saying that she was smart, intelligent, courageous, could make money from nothing, and was a good wife to the Third Young Master.
But Zhao Tinglei didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, any woman who could live in the military town guard house was bold, and Song Liyun was the only one who could do business.
It is not a good thing for a woman to be able to do business. Not only does she appear in public, but she also hangs out with men secretly, so only the Di people don't care.
After so many years, no matter how the war happened, his wife was able to maintain the inner house, take care of the house, and appease the concubines and concubines, which deeply satisfied him.
Zhao Tinlei has been at the border all year round and is most troubled by trivial matters. He feels that only such women are good women.
It's just that Mrs. Wuya is very stubborn about her third brother's marriage. She actually refuses all her father's arrangements and even goes so far as to fall out.
If my father knew that his third brother was marrying a military girl, I don't know how angry he would be.
When he heard that he wanted to send two beauties to the third young master, the old man nodded in agreement.
Years ago when the prince ascended the throne, he sent condolence gifts to his cousin who had worked hard to guard the border. In addition to the customary gold, silver and jade articles, there were also four tender beauties.
The lord is generous and has a deep brotherly love. He doesn't want to be exclusive, so he leaves the two most outstanding ones for the third son.
In the inn, Lin Qingyuan had already washed himself up and was sitting there drinking mutton soup. He was very hungry that day.
Next to him, Abu, Song Dekui and Song Liyun were whispering.
They came back from the grassland with bad news. Some of the slaves were trafficked to the grassland by the Lin family. Zhao Shoubei wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Collusion with officials is a small matter, but human trafficking is a big matter. The Lin family is destined to not end well.
For safety reasons, Lin Qingyuan could no longer go back to the Yamen Prison and needed a foolproof solution.
In addition, it is impossible for only one Lin family to accomplish this task, there must be many helpers.
The Qi family, which has been operating in Hecheng for decades, is the biggest suspect.
This is the home of the Qi family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that one hand covers the sky.
Abu and Song Dekui were still thinking about how to arrange Lin Qingyuan, while Song Liyun's mind wandered away.
She pinched her chin and thought deeply: "Abu, tell the truth. Did A Shi leave to avoid suspicion?"
Based on her understanding of Zhao Tingduo, she should not run away when encountering a caravan entanglement.
Abu's expression tightened and he smiled awkwardly and said: "Young Master, if the young lady is really here, she will definitely come.
It was the young master who suddenly received a letter from Simon’s tribe, asking him to participate in the event..."
Simon tribe?
Song Liyun thought about it carefully.
The number of tribes on the Dilu grassland is like the stars in the sky. Song Liyun doesn't know much about it, but he still heard Abu mention Simon, Dongmeng, Qidan and many other strange names.
Among them, Simon is a mid-level tribe and the fastest growing tribe, with a population of several thousand. The tribe is distributed in the Muliang Mountain area.
This is also the tribe that Abu envies because it has a fixed pasture, a fixed camp, and even a small market.
Now suddenly invite Zhao Tingduo over...
Abu said: "Young lady, don't worry, the young master will be fine with Baiqi.
The reason for inviting the young master is that the leader of the Simon tribe has married another wife and is going to hold a wedding."
"Then why did you lie to me in the first place?" Song Liyun glared at Abu.
Abu chuckled: "The young master said that he will rush back and bring you a surprise!"
Song Liyun said nothing and only looked at him lightly.
Abu couldn't pretend anymore and said with a bitter face: "Sister Song, young master, please don't say anything!"
Lin Qingyuan was full of food and drink, and he was a handsome young man, but his usually smiling face was now very serious.
"Young Madam, the Qi family has no intention of helping the Lin family until now. I think this situation is not good."
"how to say?"
Lin Qingyuan frowned, turned around twice and said, "If I say something, I'm afraid my sister will be implicated and she will be sued in court.
If you don't tell me... Miss Song, can you think of a way to save the lives of the Lin family?"
Lin Luyin is the concubine of the Qi family. If she tells the truth, both the Lin family and the Qi family will kill her.
Without a sure way to save his life, Lin Qingyuan was unwilling to risk his sister.
He has been observing the Lin family for so long, and now it seems that the Qi family wants the Lin family to take over.
If things get serious, the Lin family will implicate the nine clans.
Lin Qingyuan's face was a little distorted.
He can hate the Lin family, or even enjoy watching the Lin family suffer and suffer.
However, he was born and raised in the Lin family.
Lin Shouzhuo gave him life, and no matter how harshly he criticized him, he still had enough food and clothing, and his servants did not dare to neglect him.
Even because of his preference for his aunt, he was able to get an extra portion.
Lin Qinghua was about the same age as him. When he was a child, he would fight with fists and then fight openly and secretly for ten years.
He used whatever tricks he could, but he didn't dare to really want the other person's life.
His conscience would be uneasy if he could just watch these people who were closely related to him die unexpectedly.
Song Liyun could somewhat understand his mood.
Just like the second son of the Song Dynasty, the Gu family is full of evil, and the Song Liyun brothers and sisters cannot kill people themselves.
If you let other people know that you hurt your loved ones with your own hands, it will definitely be regarded as moral corruption and bad conduct.
"What do you want?"
Song Liyun had a lot of time to wait for Lin Qingyuan to say what was in his heart.
At first she thought that Lin Qingyuan had a low taste and wanted to see Mr. Lin's jokes, but when she arrived in Hecheng, she came back to her senses.
Lin Qingyuan is the most cunning.
Being able to hide a shop and a group of dutiful people from under the eyes of the Lin family is not something a narrow-minded person can do.
If he wants to return to the Lin family, he must have an ulterior secret, and now is the time to reveal the secret.
Lin Qingyuan said seriously: "I want to see Zhao Shoubei. It's just a matter of concern to the Qi family of the imperial merchants. I am a concubine of a merchant, and I speak softly. I'm afraid it will be difficult for others to believe me even if I say it."
"Originally I wanted to ask Young Master Wuda to introduce me, but Young Master has been unable to come in the past two days. The Lin family is in danger of being imprisoned, so we can no longer delay the time.
Miss Song, I think you are Zhao Shoubei’s unmarried sister-in-law..."
I see!
Song Liyun's face changed slightly: "I can accompany you to ask to see Zhao Shoubei.
However, Lin Qingyuan, it is against the law for Lin's eldest son to collude with officials, and we can no longer break the law knowingly."
She didn't know if her status allowed her to meet the Zhao family like this. The matter was urgent, so she gave it a try.
Lin Qingyuan nodded: "Lin Qinghua committed a crime and deserved it. I just don't want the Lin family to bear the infamy for the Qi family."
He is from the Lin family. If the Lin family is guilty of a serious crime, even if he escapes with his life, unless he changes his name, he will be unable to hold his head up for the rest of his life.
When Abu heard that Song Liyun and Lin Qingyuan wanted to see Zhao Shoubei, he immediately agreed to send a message.
However, when Song Liyun and Lin Qingyuan were waiting outside the gate of the garrison mansion, Abu came out angrily: "Sister Song, Lord garrison has retired from office now. If you have anything to do, we will talk tomorrow."
He did not see the eldest son, but someone around him spread the news.
It's getting dark now, so it's really not appropriate to visit.
Song Liyun looked at the gift box Fangzheng was carrying next to him and smiled bitterly: "Okay, we'll come back tomorrow!"
