Seeing that her son-in-law was mysteriously playing tricks on her, Chu Nanzhi rolled her eyes at him angrily. Thinking that they must have gone to Duanlong Mountain when they came to Haikang County so quickly, she asked casually:
"Did you encounter any dangers on the way here?"
"Sister, don't mention it. We encountered many jackals in Duanlong Mountain, brother-in-law."
Hearing her mention this matter, Liu Shuyang was about to complain endlessly, but Lin Jinxiao stopped him immediately with a cold look.
Sibaolin Ruijia took advantage of her father not paying attention and whispered in Chu Nanzhi's ear: "Mom, my father was bitten by a jackal on his leg."
Chu Nanzhi heard the voice and went over, and happened to meet Lin Jinxiao's eyes.
Lin Jinxiao guessed that the little guy must have told her what happened, and said nonchalantly: "It's a little skin injury, it doesn't matter, it has been bandaged in the mountains."
Liu Shuyang smiled and echoed: "The hunter in the mountains heard that we were looking for the eldest sister, so he specially brought some good plasters to bandage his brother-in-law's wounds."
Seeing that both of them looked calm and relaxed, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but stepped forward and said with concern: "Let me take a look."
Lin Jinxiao didn't stop her and allowed her to lift her leg to check the wound.
Chu Nanzhi gently tore off the bandage and looked over carefully. Although the wound had been cleaned by Ma Defu, the deep red tooth marks on the leg were still very clear. She didn't know what this guy was messing around with all day long.
He had just taken office, and had not even completed the handover yet, so he came all the way to this barren land.
Is it really like what Xiao Si Bao said, that he came here specifically to protect me?
For a moment, he was annoyed and distressed and ordered Liu Shuyang to get his package, take out the bone-sparing ointment given by Ma Defu and apply it evenly on the wound:
"The plaster developed by Senior Ma is originally used for bone setting, but I think it has better healing ability than the golden sore medicine. I will apply some to the wound for you later. In this way, if you use it for a while, the scar may become shallower."
A lot."
"Well, it's all up to you."
Lin Jinxiao behaved very submissively, and the hostility in the busy city just now disappeared in front of her.
After Chu Nanzhi wiped the place where the jackal bit him, he went to wipe the knife wound on the other leg. Thinking about how he killed the county captain Qi Luan in the busy city, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but feel frightened.
When this guy first came here, he quietly killed a number of court officials to establish his prestige. If word of this spread spread, everyone would be shocked. He was indeed a bit iron-blooded.
Moreover, it had not been long since he came out. It must have only been a few days since he received the appointment letter. He neither showed off his official power and ostentatious things, nor held any grand inauguration ceremony. He just went to work so quietly.
When he took office, he was neither arrogant nor impetuous. He was really low-key and terrifying.
Chu Nanzhi inadvertently glanced at the Emperor's Sword wrapped on the desk. Chu Nanzhi became even more confused. He turned back and looked up at Lin Jinxiao, and asked meaningfully: "Lin Dalang, you are quite wealthy. When will His Majesty grant you the Emperor's Sword?"
Sword, didn’t you hear Princess Shu mention it last time?”
"Aniang, Grandpa Chang gave it to Dad."
Xiao Sibao interjected first from the side.
"Chang Lao?"
Chu Nanzhi blinked and stopped what he was doing. This was even more incredible. Chang Lao had been retired for almost twenty years.
It was rare to see her gossip like this, so Lin Jinxiao patiently told her:
"Two hundred years ago, when the vassals were reduced, among the eight vassal kings, except for King Qinghe, only my ancestor, King Pingning, accepted the imperial order without any bloodshed. The other vassal kings were all destroyed. Today, the lineage of King Qinghe is still hereditary.
Only our King Pingning's lineage is declining day by day. I guess it is because His Majesty has no children now, so out of compassion, he gave the Emperor's Sword to protect my descendants of the Lin family in Luyanggang."
In the mountains, I heard Xie Jingchen mention the land of Qinghe. Now I saw the pretty boy talking about that place again. Chu Nanzhi asked curiously: "Why can the King of Qinghe be hereditary and replace the two remaining vassal kings?
Your lineage of King Pingning can only gradually become common people?"
"The Three Prefectures of Qinghe are the holy land where our Lin family originated. Naturally, we cannot easily deprive ourselves of our title. The vassal king stationed here has the responsibility of guarding the dragon veins."
Lin Jinxiao took his legs back and pulled her to sit next to him. With a hint of provocation, he asked: "Do you still want to know why I, a low-ranking official in the county government, became a fifth-level official overnight?
Pin Shangguan, why does one county magistrate not only hold the military power, but also wield the emperor's sword?"
"I am indeed a little curious."
Chu Nanzhi said to herself: "But it seems acceptable."
After all, this guy was promoted to be a filial and honest man at the age of fifteen, and he was promoted to be a scholar the year after marrying the original owner. With two honors, he could only be a low-ranking official in the county, which is a sign of humiliation.
It's just that this guy has relatively little qualifications as an official, so his promotion speed is a bit scary. The moment he found out about it, he felt it was particularly incredible.
It's just a matter of being a county magistrate who is superior to other county magistrates. He also has military power and the emperor's sword. With such treatment, he is either talented and frightening, or he has unfathomable backing to rely on.
Of course, there is another possibility, which is the diaosi counterattack in Shuangwen's novel.
cough.
In fact, he is not a loser, he is just a charming pretty boy.
After thinking about it, she carefully looked at the delicate face in front of her, lowered her voice and asked: "Lin Dalang, are you the posthumous son of the former prince?"
"Where did you hear these rumors?"
Lin Jinxiao's calm face immediately stirred up waves, and he looked at her in surprise.
Chu Nanzhi smiled humorously: "Of course it's just folklore."
Lin Jinxiao said angrily: "Don't make random suspicions all day long. Your Majesty treats our Luyan Port family so favorably. He just feels that the southern border is unstable, the Baiyu people are ready to move, and there is a sea ban in the east. We need to beware of the Dongsang people, so
Reuse the clan members."
Of course, it is also inseparable from his own world-famous talent. After all, there are not many people who can be praised as filial and honest and talented again at such a young age.
"I see."
Chu Nanzhi pretended to be suddenly enlightened and nodded.
I thought that His Majesty would really use the Lin family in Luyanggang, and there were so many descendants of the Lin family but only one person was favored.
Although this pretty boy does have some fame and talent, being so pampered is a bit too much.
"If he is really the crown prince's posthumous son, if I were the crown prince, I would definitely conceal his talents and prevent outsiders from noticing."
But if you think about it more carefully, maybe this is related to the party struggle in Jinling City, and His Majesty is eager to build a force.
The two secretly competed in the room. Xiao Sibao suddenly came up to Chu Nanzhi, patted his flat belly, and shouted sweetly: "Mom, I'm hungry."
Hearing this, Liu Shuyang also said: "Sister, I'm a little hungry too."
Seeing the embarrassed expressions on the faces of the senior and the young, Chu Nanzhi realized that they had just come out of the mountains, and fearing that they had not had breakfast yet, he quickly ordered: "Oh, Shu Yang, go and talk to San Lang.
Ask him to tell the postman to prepare some food."
After receiving the promise, Liu Shuyang ran away. Not long after, he saw him bringing in some food with the servants from the famous post house. The food was laid out. Chu Nanzhi was about to add food and vegetables to the four treasures when he saw Lin Jinxiao nuzzling.
He went to the piece of meat he picked up and kept smelling it.
