Guo Kun sighed, stood up and walked to Guo Caiwei, stretched out his hand to help her up, and said softly: "Sister, get up. You also have to think about how your father feels. How could he not be furious when he heard such a thing? He didn't
Ordering people to kill Lin Jue is already extremely tolerant. Don't force him to hate him too much. After all, this matter is difficult for dad to accept. Wasn't it the same when I learned about this last year? Dad didn't say anything to death.
, there may be room for maneuver in the matter. Don't make him angry anymore in the next few days, just stay in the house."
Guo Caiwei nodded with tears in her eyes, saluted Guo Kun and said, "Thank you, brother. If it hadn't been for my brother's mediation today, I'm afraid something big would have happened. Why would my brother help me? I thought...my brother wouldn't speak for me."
Guo Kun reached out and stroked Guo Caiwei's hair and sighed: "Silly girl, you are my sister. My brother is really strict with you on weekdays, but he loves you in his heart. Why doesn't he speak for you? You are too impatient.
Why did you reveal this matter without consulting me beforehand? Wouldn't it be better to hide it from dad? "
Guo Caiwei shook her head and said: "I can't wait any longer. My father came to Beijing this time to discuss marriage with the Yang family. I didn't know it at first. I was going to pick up Mr. Lin outside Gongyuan in the afternoon, but my father suddenly stopped me and asked me if I wanted to
Marry into Privy Yang’s house, marry Privy Yang’s second son. Of course I said I didn’t want to. My father had been insisting on forcing me to agree to this marriage for a long time, so I gritted my teeth and told him what happened with Lin Jue. I
What I want is for him to know that his daughter has someone in mind and will never marry anyone else in this life, so that he can stop thinking about it. Besides, I have been hiding it from him for a year, and I have always felt guilty.
Better, he always needs to know."
Guo Kun shook his head and sighed: "Sister, you are too impulsive. No wonder my father sent someone to call me back home in a hurry. Originally, the errands in Gongyuan were not over yet, but Shen Tan said it was urgent, so I rushed back. Hey! You
In fact, it doesn’t have to be like this. My father is actually doubtful about the marriage with the Yang family, and I don’t agree with it. Even if you agree, you still need to consider the matter. Who would have thought that you would just say it out loud, wouldn’t this mess up the matter?
Daddy probably hates Lin Jueping deeply now."
Guo Caiwei smiled sadly: "Hate as much as you want, as long as he doesn't kill Mr. Lin. Brother, please promise me that you will never let dad do anything bad to Mr. Lin. By the way, Lin Jue knows that dad has come to the capital, so you can do it for me
Give him a message and tell him not to come here to see daddy. Daddy is angry and something bad might happen if he meets him."
Guo Kun nodded and said: "That's right. Father cannot be allowed to see him during this period. Don't go looking for him either. Father will be even more angry if he knows about it. Hey, this kid has done a lot of harm to others. He has harmed our whole family."
An Ning, I wish I could give him a good beating to relieve the anger in my heart."
Guo Caiwei held Guo Kun's arm and shook it, and said softly: "Brother, you wouldn't do this, would you?"
Guo Kun sighed: "Of course not, he is now the number one scholar, what a great person. I don't know what kind of shit this kid got. Come on, just go back to your room and rest. I haven't slept much for three days.
I’m very sleepy, let’s talk about these things later!”
Guo Caiwei gathered her skirts and bowed to see her off, while Guo Kun sighed and frowned and left.
…
In the early morning of early summer, the air was fresh and pleasant. Lin Jue woke up feeling comfortable, and felt that his arms were full of warm and fragrant nephrite. When he looked down, Lu Wu's pretty rosy face was nestled on his chest, and he was sleeping.
Sweet.
Lin Jue moved slightly to lift the quilt and put on his clothes. There was a sound behind him. When Lin Jue looked back, Lu Wu was also sitting up. The thin quilt slipped from Xiang's shoulders, and half of his strong and snow-white body was exposed to Lin Jue's body.
In sight, she was indeed a young girl, with not even a wrinkle on her body, and her strong areas were erect and bright red, making her extremely tempting.
"Young Master, are you getting up so early? I will help you get dressed." Lu Wu rubbed her eyes and started to get up.
Lin Jue stretched out his hand to hold her down and said: "Just sleep a little longer. There is nothing important today. I will ask Xiaohu to follow me to see the husband later to report the Spring Examination. Just rest a little longer. Aren't you feeling a little sick?"
Are you feeling unwell?"
Lu Wu blushed. Lin Jue was drunk and tossing people last night. Lu Wu was tortured very badly, so he couldn't get up this morning. Otherwise, if it were a normal time, Lu Wu would have been up and busy by this time.
Lin Jue kissed Lu Wu's forehead, covered her with a quilt, quickly dressed and got up. Where could Lu Wu sleep? When Lin Jue was breathing fresh air in the yard, she had already gotten up and had breakfast. Xie Yingying came over
After having breakfast with Lin Jue Lvwu and chatting for a while, the sunshine filled the courtyard.
Xie Yingying was going to the theater to prepare for the afternoon performance, so she left by car. Lin Jue was also ready to go out. After the big exam, she should go to see Mr. Fang to report on the big exam. Although Yan Zheng was present yesterday, Fang Dunru may have already
I know what happened yesterday afternoon, but I should always go.
At this time in the morning, he couldn't find Fang Dunru in Yulin Lane, so Lin Jue decided to go to Yushitai to see Fang Dunru directly. When he came back, he could make a detour to Taiping Xingguo Temple to see Lin Bonian. The same was true for the college entrance examination.
He wanted to report it to the current head of the Lin family. Although Lin Bonian didn't seem to take much care of him recently, and he didn't even send anyone to ask during the Spring Examination, he still wanted to report it.
I drove out with Xiaohu, and soon arrived at Yushitai Yamen in the middle of Maxing Street outside Donghuamen. Just like the last time I came here, it was still crowded. Even under the sunshine of early summer, those few buildings
The dark courtyard also looked a bit solemn and deserted. There seemed to be an inexplicable chill in the air.
The gatekeeper already knew Lin Jue and was very polite to him. However, Lin Jue got some news that he didn't want to hear. Fang Dunru was not at Yushitai Yamen. Today's morning court meeting has not ended yet. Fang Dunru
He should still be attending court in Chongzheng Hall.
Lin Jue scratched his head a little, and after thinking about it, he and Lin Hu got in the car and went straight to the square in front of Daqing Gate, South Gate of Da Nei. Lin Jue wanted to wait outside the palace gate for Fang Dunru to go to court.
When we arrived at the square in front of Daqing Gate, there was a huge crowd at the gate of the palace. It seemed that the morning court had just ended. Civil and military officials were coming out of the gate of the palace one after another, and they rode back to their respective government offices. Lin Jue's identity could not be approached, so he could not get close.
I stopped at the intersection and looked around. However, I didn't see Fang Dunru's donkey cart, but I saw Lin Bonian's luxury carriage parked next to me.
"Lin Jue! Why are you here?" Lin Bonian's thin face was revealed from the open car curtain. For some reason, there was a little anger on this face that had not subsided.
"Second uncle, what a coincidence. My nephew came to see his mentor. I went to his yamen and said that he had not left the court early. So I came here to wait for him." Lin Jue hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
Lin Bonian frowned and said, "You only have your mentor in your eyes, right? It's been so many days and you haven't come to the house to have a look. After all, I am also the head of the Lin family. I don't blame you if you don't want to live in the house, but
You also want to come to my house often to talk to me about your current situation, right? You don’t want to talk to me about the Spring Examination yesterday?"
Lin Jue hurriedly said: "What did the second uncle say? I plan to go to see the second uncle at noon. I have to go to see the teacher first, respecting the teacher as the elder. Second uncle, don't worry about it. How can my nephew not go?
Meet the second uncle."
Lin Bonian's face brightened a little, and he nodded and said, "Okay, come back home with me now. I won't go to the Yamen either."
"Second uncle, can you allow me to see the teacher first..."
"You won't be able to see him today. That teacher of yours... Hey! The Holy One is meeting Yan Zhengsheng and your teacher alone. They are now the Holy One's big celebrities. You must not be able to see him today. Go home first, I'm just there
I also have something to discuss with you. It's a good time to see you here." Lin Bonian's way of speaking was a bit strange, hesitant and seemed to be dissatisfied. When he talked about Fang Dunru, his tone was even more teasing.
Lin Jue felt that something was wrong. Since he couldn't see Fang Dunru, he might as well go to the Lin Mansion to talk to Lin Bonian. He should also talk more together. After all, they were a family. And it could be seen that Lin Bonian seemed
I also feel resentful towards myself.
"Just follow the second uncle's instructions. Second uncle will go ahead, and Xiaohu and I will follow."
The two carriages, one behind the other, passed through Yujie to the south and then turned to the west, passing through the bustling Junyi Bridge Road, passing through seven or eight alleys of Bianhe North Street, and arrived at the south of Taiping Xingguo Temple where the Lin family mansion is located.
On Kaifeng Mansion Street. Soon after, the carriage and horses stopped in front of the magnificent Lin Mansion. Lin Bonian and Lin Jue got out of the car, and a servant came forward to lead the carriage and horse from the corner gate to the yard and place them there.
Lin Bonian and Lin Jue walked directly through the front house and entered the flower hall at the second entrance. Lin Bonian went to the back house, while Lin Jue and Xiaohu stayed in the flower hall and sat down, with servants serving them.
Here comes the tea.
Soon after, Lin Bonian came out after changing his clothes. Lin Jue and Lin Hu stood up and saluted. Lin Bonian waved his hands, sat down on the big chair, reached for the tea and drank it slowly. After taking a few sips of tea,
Lin Bonian placed the tea cup on the table and let out a long sigh.
"Second uncle, I see that you seem to be worried. I wonder what happened? Is it something at home that worries you?" Lin Jue leaned forward and asked.
Lin Bonian glanced at Lin Jue and said, "What can happen at home? Lin Chang wrote a letter a few days ago. Everything is as usual at home in Hangzhou, and the business is still running as usual. There is nothing to worry about."
Lin Jue snorted and said, "That's good. Then why is the second uncle frowning and looking worried?"
Uncle Lin sighed, waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about you first. How do you feel about yourself in this spring exam? Are you confident about high school?"
Lin Jue was stunned, and then he realized that Lin Bonian did not know what happened during the emperor's inspection of the Gongyuan yesterday afternoon. Perhaps because the news was blocked and not allowed to spread, this matter has not spread widely. But considering Lin Bonian
As a dignified deputy envoy of the Third Department, the fact that he has so little information and does not know the inside information shows that on the one hand he does not care much about himself and does not take the trouble to find out. On the other hand, it just shows his status in the court.
of embarrassment.
Lin Bonian may have spent so many years in the capital in vain. He has not relied on any of the core forces. I don't know what he has done with so much money from the Lin family over the years. But this house is large in scale and beautifully built.
, I'm afraid hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were spent. Could it be that all of it was spent on these.
