Yin Lihua was amused by Liu Xiu's serious look and asked with a smile: "Uncle Wen, why don't you call me Miss Lihua again?"
When Liu Xiu heard this, his face turned red and he hesitated for a long time without speaking. After a while, he said: "Lihua, your shoes and socks are all wet. I will take you to the second sister's place to change to a clean pair."
!”
Yin Lihua looked down at her bare feet and asked, "You want me to just walk over there?"
Liu Xiu subconsciously lowered his head and looked at it. Yes, it was inappropriate to just walk over there barefoot. Just as he was thinking about it, Yin Lihua smiled and said, "Uncle Wen, just carry me over there!"
Yin Lihua was not very old, only fifteen years old. Although at that time women were already hairdressed and could get married at the age of fifteen, she was still just a girl after all, and she was not even in love.
Deep into your bones.
Moreover, Yin Lihua really does not hate Liu Xiu, but is quite willing to get close to him.
Liu Xiu only hesitated for a moment, then shamelessly squatted down in front of Yin Lihua and pulled her onto his back.
Yin Lihua, who is still young and well protected by her two brothers, does not understand that it is normal for a man and a woman to accept or not be intimate with each other. How could Liu Xiu, who is already over 20 years old, not understand?
Therefore, no matter what kind of man he is, no matter what his character is, as long as he is in front of the woman he loves, his face can become infinitely thicker.
In order to get close to the goddess in his heart, Liu Xiu risked all his shame at this time.
Let’s talk about Yin consciousness and Yin Xing. Leave Liu Xiu behind and return to the underworld.
The county official who came to visit the Yin family today was named Lin Fu. He was appointed as Hucao's governor in the county, and was also the top leader of Hucao. Yinshi and Yinxing were not very familiar with the county officials.
, but the main officials still know each other.
When the two saw Lin Fu, they were stunned for a moment, then raised their hands and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Lin! I wonder what kind of wind is blowing today to bring Mr. Lin to my Yin family!"
Lin Fu was in his early forties, with an average appearance, a sharp mouth, monkey cheeks, and a goatee. He returned the gift to Yin Shi and Yin Xing with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "I came to Xinye this time specifically to visit the two young masters.
Congratulations!"
Yin Shi and Yin Xing were both startled, and their minds were filled with confusion. How could the Yin family be so happy that a dignified Hu Cao Shi could come all the way from the county seat to Xinye to congratulate him? Yin Shi asked in confusion: "Lin
Your Excellency, you have made me confused, what is the happy event for my Yin family?"
Lin Fu patted his forehead and said with a smile: "Oh, look at me, I was so excited that I forgot to explain why!" He cleared his throat and said with a smile: "His Majesty is choosing a concubine recently, Miss Lihua from the Yin family.
Even His Majesty has heard about her unparalleled beauty, which has captivated the country, so she has named Miss Lihua. Soon, the county government will send someone to Xinye to be responsible for escorting Miss Lihua to the capital!"
His words were like a bomb that exploded in the heads of Yin Shi and Yin Xing, leaving both of them blank and unable to recover for a long time.
Lin Fu smiled and said: "With Miss Lihua's appearance, she will definitely be selected by His Majesty when she comes to Beijing to run for election. By then, the Yin family will be relatives of the emperor. Isn't this enough for me to make a special trip to Xinye to congratulate you?
…”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud popping sound in his ears, and he claps his hands with anger. His facial features were distorted, and his eyes were about to burst into flames when he glared at Lin Fu. He asked word by word: "Mr. Lin
, do you really mean what you say?"
Let Yin Lihua participate in the selection of concubines, marry Wang Mang, and become Wang Mang's concubine. In Yinxing, this matter is not a question of whether it is acceptable or not, but a big joke in the world.
His little sister is only fifteen years old, and Wang Mang is over sixty. How can the little sister marry Wang Mang? Isn't this nonsense?
Lin Fu didn't expect Yin Xing to have such a big reaction. He looked at him dumbfounded and said blankly: "The selection of the concubine was... appointed by His Majesty. How could... how could it be false?"
Without saying a word, Yin Xing pulled out the sword from his ribs, his eyes were red, and he strode towards Lin Fu with the sword in hand. No need to ask, just look at Yin Xing's murderous look, he would be a fool.
Everyone can see what he wants to do.
Lin Fu was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly. Soon, his back hit a beam and there was no way to retreat.
Yin Xing came close to him, without saying anything, he swung his sword and struck. Lin Fu was just a civil servant, and he had never seen such a scene. He screamed in fright and slid to the ground.
There was a crisp clicking sound above his head. Yin Xing's sword did not hit his head, but cut deeply into the beam. The entire sword body was almost submerged. This shows how powerful Yin Xing's sword was.
Lin Fu's face turned pale and he touched his neck subconsciously. Fortunately, his head was still there. In an instant, his underwear was soaked in cold sweat, and his calves were twisted. He got up from the ground, rolling and crawling.
Run outside.
"Dog officer! I want your head today!" Yin Xing was unwilling to give up. He used all his strength to pull out the sword that had been cut into the beam with a clang, then raised the sword and chased Lin Fu.
.
He chased him for two steps, and Yinshi stepped forward, hugged the dizzy Yinxing tightly, and shouted loudly: "Second brother, calm down! Calm down!"
Yin Xing looked at Lin Fu's back, which was running away without looking back, and he was breathing heavily. He gasped, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, my little sister can't be Wang Mang's concubine no matter what!"
This is simply too much bullying, and is meant to drive the Yin family to death!
Watching Lin Fu hurriedly run out of the underworld like a bereaved dog, got on the carriage, and drove away, Yin Shi narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "I finally understand why Wang Jing attacked my little sister."
Yinxing blinked and looked at his elder brother in confusion.
Yin Shi slowly clenched his fists and asked: "What will happen to my little sister once she falls into the hands of those hungry people?"
Yin Xing pondered for a moment and asked: "Loss of integrity?"
Yinshi nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, it's a lack of integrity! No matter whether the little sister is insulted by the hungry people or not, the reputation of being out of integrity will spread. And the little sister has been on Wang Mang's list of concubines, as long as she loses her integrity.
When the name spreads to the capital, that’s..."
"The crime of deceiving the emperor!" Yin Xing answered subconsciously.
It turns out that Wang Jing suddenly attacked his little sister, and this was his plan! The crime of deceiving the emperor was enough to get the whole Yin family to be executed. Wang Jing's move was vicious enough, and it could be said to seal the throat with blood.
Yin Xing's eyes widened and he looked at Yin Shi. After a moment, he trembled and said: "If my little sister is on Wang Mang's list of concubines, it must be Wang Jing who is doing something secretly. Otherwise, we wouldn't know about it."
,Why did Wang Jing know in advance?"
Yinshi nodded first, then shook his head and said: "With Wang Mang's ability, Wang Jing cannot intervene in such a big matter as Wang Mang's selection of concubines. However, if Zhen Fu helps him, it will be different. As Zhen Fu,
The Governor of Nanyang can submit a list of Nanyang beauties to the court."
Yin Xing clapped his hands and said anxiously: "That's right. What happened to my little sister must have been done by Zhen Fu. Zhen Fu tried to win over our Yin family over and over again, but we didn't even give him face. I think Zhen Fu already had a grudge in his heart.
! In addition, Zhen Fu and Wang Jing have an irreversible friendship, so it is very possible that he and Wang Jing are colluding."
Yinshi nodded, but couldn't help but sigh.
What is the practical significance of understanding the cause and effect now? The younger sister has been on Wang Mang's list of concubines. This is already a certainty. Who has the ability to change this list?
The two brothers could ignore Shi Linfu, the household clerk in the county, and they could scare him away or beat him away. But if someone from the imperial court came, could they still scare him away or beat him away?
The two looked at each other, lowered their heads in unison, frowned, and were silent.
Yin Lihua was sent back to the underworld by Liu Xiu.
Wang Jing had already set his sights on Yin Lihua. Although Yin Shi Yinxing had left many guards for Yin Lihua, Liu Xiu was still worried and sent her back personally.
When he arrived at the underworld, Liu Xiu originally wanted to greet Yin Shi and Yin Xing loudly and leave, but when he saw the two of them, he found that they were both frowning.
Liu Xiu asked in confusion: "Second uncle, Junling, has something happened?"
"Uh..." Yin Xing was about to speak, but Yin Shi glanced at Yin Lihua and said first, "Lihua, you go back to the room first."
Yin Lihua smiled and asked: "Brother, is there anything else that I can't listen to?"
Just as Yin Shi was about to speak, Yin Xing frowned and said, "Brother, I don't think there is any need to hide this matter from my little sister!"
Seeing that the two brothers had serious expressions on their faces, Yin Lihua also stopped joking and looked at them intently.
Yinshi was silent for a moment and said: "Just now, Shi Linfu, a household clerk from the county government, came to the house and said... that my little sister has been included in Wang Mang's list of concubines."
"What?" Hearing this, Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua were both shocked. Neither of them expected that such a big change would happen in just this moment.
Yin Lihua's face instantly darkened and she asked, "Brother, is this news accurate?"
Yinshi looked at the little girl, nodded slightly, and said nothing.
Yin Lihua stood there, her face as cold as ice. After a while, she said, "Even if I die, I will not be Wang Mang's concubine!" After saying this, she turned around and ran towards her boudoir.
"Lihua..." Yin Shi and Yin Xing looked at the back of the little girl running away quickly and sighed in unison.
At this time, Liu Xiu's mood also hit rock bottom. Yin Lihua entered Wang Mang's list of concubines, so this was the emperor's order. Even if he was as noble as the Yin family, there was no room for resistance.
He looked at Yinshi Yinxing and asked: "Second uncle, Junling, do you really want to send Lihua to the capital to be Wang Mang's concubine?"
"Of course not!" Yin Xing blurted out, but soon he lowered his head and stopped talking. Yin Shi sighed: "It's hard to disobey the emperor's order!" If the imperial court really sent someone to take the little girl to Beijing.
, what else can the Yin family do?
Come on! Liu Xiu clenched his fists. He almost blurted out these three words, but now it was not him who should say these words, but the Yin family themselves.
Furthermore, if our side is not ready yet and if we start an attack rashly, we may not be able to succeed.
Yin Shi looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Uncle Wen, you have always been resourceful. In your opinion, how can we avoid letting my little sister enter the capital and become a concubine?"
Liu Xiu frowned and remained silent.
Yin Xing asked: "How about we hide my little sister? We will lie to the outside world and say that my little sister has run away from home!"
Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "The emperor has chosen his concubine, and Lihua has been included in the list. If he runs away from home, he will be committing a crime of disrespect. Lihua and even the entire Yin family will not be able to escape this crime!"
Yinshi nodded, he had thought of this method, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't work at all.
"Then... let's just rebel against him!" Yin Xing finally said these words. Yin Shi was shaken and looked at Yin Xing without saying a word for a long time.
