At this moment, the whole building is brightly lit, like a brilliant palace, exuding brilliance in the dusk.
"How many candles do we need to light?" Lin Boyong, a businessman, not only thought in his heart, but soon he scolded himself for being petty. How much money can this cost? Even his own Lin family doesn't care about this.
Not far from entering Wangchao Tower, Lin Boyong saw a figure hidden in the darkness. They were guards of the palace, responsible for guarding the safety of the prince. It is no exaggeration to say that within a few miles of Wangchao Tower,
On the local forested mountain road, not even a mouse could even think of approaching Wangchao Tower without being noticed.
In the hall on the first floor, Lin Boyong saw Prince Liang sitting on the big chair. Although he only glanced briefly, Lin Boyong had already collected enough information. The prince's expression did not reveal much, but the man standing next to him
The young prince's face was tense, the faces of the personal guards were fierce, and the weapons in their hands were bright and scary. From this information, Lin Boyong initially sensed that something was wrong.
"Old Lin Boyong has seen that the prince is a thousand years old, and the prince is in peace." Lin Boyong quickly stepped forward, prostrated under the Liang Throne, and kowtowed.
"Get up quickly, why are you doing this great gift? Get up quickly, please sit down, and someone will make tea." Guo Bing said repeatedly, his voice was calm, giving Lin Boyong a sense of comfort.
After Lin Boyong stood up, he saluted the young prince Guo Kun. Guo Kun returned the salute lightly, his face still serious. Lin Boyong felt very bad again.
Someone came forward and brought a chair for Lin Boyong to sit down and made him tea. Lin Boyong thanked him repeatedly, sat down on his side, and looked at King Liang.
Guo Bing smiled and said: "Master Lin, first of all I would like to thank you Lin family for your help. You helped me buy my mother's birthday gift and took the trouble to transport it to the capital for me. Thank you very much."
Lin Boyong said hurriedly: "What did the prince say? This is an honor for my Lin family. The birthday of the Queen Mother is a grand event for all people in the world. I, the Lin family, feel honored to be able to contribute to it. As long as this matter can be done well, I will
The Lin family will not hesitate to mobilize all manpower and material resources."
Guo Bing nodded and said with a smile: "That's good. I believe that the Queen Mother will be very happy to have people like you in our Zhou Dynasty. I will go to Beijing next month and will definitely report to the Queen Mother the contribution of your Lin family.
, let her know the filial piety of your Lin family."
"Oh, that's such an honor, such an honor." Lin Boyong was so excited that he almost slipped off his chair. This is not an ordinary honor. If the Queen Mother knew that this gift was purchased by the Lin family, then the Lin family would be in great trouble.
There are benefits.
"I won't talk about this matter anymore. The gift will definitely arrive in the capital after the middle of next month. I will inform you after the news arrives. Well... Actually, this is not what I asked you to come here to talk about.
I have something else to ask you."
"Your Majesty, please inquire." Lin Boyong said hurriedly.
…
Lin Boyong almost gritted his teeth and left the palace. In the carriage back, Lin Boyong cursed uncontrollably. Lin Jue, this bastard, had brought himself into big trouble. He actually offended Prince Liang's palace. This was simply an act seeking death.
Lin Boyong had heard about the Oiran competition a month ago. However, his Lin family did not participate in it, because Lin Boyong would never allow the Lin family to appear on such an occasion. But in fact, Lin Boyong knew that there must be a member of the Lin family secretly
Go and have a look. Several of his sons go there every year, but as long as they keep a low profile and just join in the fun, Lin Boyong will never find fault. Besides, the ban on entering and exiting brothels has been laughed at countless times, and Lin Boyong himself feels that
It's a bit inappropriate, but it's the rule of his ancestors. All Lin Boyong can do is to stick to it, so as to ensure that the Lin family tradition is passed down from generation to generation.
That night, the Oiran Competition was said to be an upset. Two brothels belonging to Prince Liang's Mansion that were well prepared and destined to win failed that night, but a brothel called Wangyue Tower won the Oiran Competition. After hearing the news, Lin Boyong still smiled.
He said, 'This Wangyuelou is really ignorant of the limelight. Isn't he looking for trouble? The person who helped Wangyuelou is also a fool. Isn't he looking for death?'. But now, what he never expected is that this person is looking for death.
Lin Jue.
The prince was quite kind when he spoke, but the few words of the young prince made Lin Boyong feel a little frightened. What the young prince Guo Kun said was: Don't you dare to do whatever you want just because your family's fortune is large and there are still people in the center?
.As long as I, Prince Liang, are willing, no matter what kind of backer will be destroyed, no matter what kind of family fortune will be dispersed. The world belongs to the Guo family. To put it bluntly, all your wealth and status are given by the Guo family. Everyone should be harmonious.
As long as they coexist peacefully, if they touch the reverse scale, they will be wiped out.
Although the young prince was scolded a few times by Prince Liang when he said these words, Lin Boyong did not dare to ignore these words at all. What the young prince meant was that he could tell his second brother to get out of the center at any time, or he could let him go at any time.
His own Lin family fell. Lin Boyong might sneer at others saying this, but the weight of what the young prince of the palace said can be imagined. They have this ability, in fact, it may be just a sentence. The current emperor is the prince's biological brother
, maybe it was just a word at the family banquet, and the Lin family was wiped out. This is not an exaggeration.
After understanding the whole incident, Lin Boyong immediately promised the prince that he would severely punish Lin Jue. King Liang also gave himself three days to deal with Lin Jue. The prince meant that Lin Boyong had better expel this person.
If he leaves the Lin family, he will be responsible for his actions in the future. If someone troubles him, the Lin family will not lose face. After all, he is a person who has been expelled from the clan.
This coincides with Lin Boyong's thoughts. Although Lin Boyong had a little expectation for Lin Jue, after all, this bastard actually entered Songshan Academy and became a student of Fang Daru. Judging from the signs, he might be able to achieve something. But now he
He wanted to commit suicide and implicated the Lin family. Even if he knew he was a talent, he must be erased without hesitation.
But the problem is, just because Lin Jue helped Wangyue Tower, he still cannot be expelled from the clan with reasonable evidence. The seven mistakes of expelling him from the clan are all serious mistakes, but they do not include helping the brothel girl to get the oiran.
.
How can we justifiably expel Lin Jue from the Lin family and let the palace deal with him without seeing him? This requires a good reason. Lin Boyong, who originally wanted to call Lin Jue in and scold him after returning to the palace out of anger, returned.
After arriving at the mansion, he calmed down.
"Liancheng, go and invite your father-in-law." Lin Boyong felt that he needed to find someone who could come up with ideas with him, and this person was naturally Huang Changqing.
"..." Zhao Liancheng looked at the head of the house with resentment. The head of the house obviously had something to discuss, but he did not discuss it with him.
"Go quickly, do you want me to invite someone myself?" Lin Boyong shouted sharply.
"Yes, yes, let's go right away." Zhao Liancheng agreed in a loud voice and rushed to invite Huang Changqing.
Zhao Liancheng was extremely depressed. It was obvious that at the critical moment, his father-in-law was much more important than himself in the head of the house. In fact, he was just an errand boy. In the head of the house, his father-in-law was still the real manager of Lin House.
Huang Changqing had already fallen asleep. When he heard the summons from the master of the house, he immediately got out of bed, dressed and ran to see people with his hair in a loose bun. Seeing Huang Changqing running out of breath and his clothes not neatly dressed, Lin Boyong was very impressed. Huang Changqing will always be there.
They are all so humble and loyal. Whenever I need him, no matter what he is doing, even if he is out in the latrine, he will pick up his pants and rush to meet him. What he lacks around him is this kind of person, even if he is his own relative.
My son can't do it either.
"Master, what are your instructions for calling Chang Qing?" Huang Changqing asked breathlessly.
"Changqing, sit here. Liancheng, why don't you serve tea to your father-in-law?" Lin Boyong said.
"Hey, let's go right away." Zhao Liancheng hurriedly ordered people to serve tea.
After the tea was served, Lin Boyong waved his hands and dismissed everyone. Zhao Liancheng still wanted to stand aside, but Lin Boyong said to him: "You also go out, Chang Qing is here, nothing will happen without you."
Zhao Liancheng was stunned and retreated with an ugly expression.
"You, my son-in-law, are quite smart and capable, but...hey, you are a little too young and think more highly of yourself." After Zhao Liancheng left, Lin Boyong said to Huang Changqing.
"Yes, Liancheng does have a lot of problems. If the head of the family is not magnanimous, how can he have a foothold? The head of the family needs to be more patient and allow him some time to experience. I wonder if Chang Qing was also clumsy when he first became the chief executive.
, Are you in a state of embarrassment? In such a big house, there are hundreds of people in the main family and outside the house, and things are complicated. I believe that if you give him some time, he will get used to it. "
"That's true, but I still prefer you to be in charge of things. If you don't become the housekeeper, I won't worry. After a while, you will still be in charge of things, and Liancheng will be your subordinate, so that he can train him."
Huang Changqing was so moved that he almost shed tears and said repeatedly: "Thank you for your respect, the master of the house. It all depends on the master's arrangement. Anyway, no matter what Changqing does in the house, even if it is sweeping the floor and feeding the horses, it doesn't matter. It will never affect Huang Changqing's respect for the master's family.
of loyalty.”
Lin Boyong nodded slowly and sighed softly.
Huang Changqing is so shrewd, and his strength is to observe people's emotions, so he asked softly: "The master of the house asked Changqing to come, but is there anything he wants Changqing to do? It seems that the master of the house is very worried."
Lin Boyong slowly said: "Changqing, something big happened at home."
"What? What happened?" Huang Changqing's heart tightened.
