Mrs. Lin and Lin Wanting froze in place, their faces turning blue and white. Although they had been prepared in their hearts for a long time, they still couldn't accept it if they really wanted them to drop their bodies and salute Lin Chujiu.
It was always Lin Chujiu who was trampled on by them, and it was always Lin Chujiu who let them play. Even after Lin Chujiu married Xiao Wangye, they still didn't take Lin Chujiu seriously, and still looked at Lin Chujiu with a high-level attitude, but now
Now they want them to salute Lin Chujiu, like Lin Chujiu bowing his head, how can they accept this
Even if they knew in their hearts that this was impossible, they really wanted them to bow their heads to Lin Chujiu, but they couldn't do it, at least not yet.
On the other hand, Lin Xiang's only son stepped forward with kindness, and gave Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu a serious salute: "Caomin has seen the prince and the princess." There was no trace of dissatisfaction or embarrassment in his words.
Lin Chujiu looked at this unfamiliar half-brother, and sighed in her heart: "What a good child, but having such a hard-working father as Lin Xiang has ruined his life.
Xiao Tianyao glanced at Lin Chujiu and saw that Lin Chujiu didn't dislike this young man from the Lin family, he said lightly, "No courtesy, sit down." His concubine hated it, so he would never give him face; his concubine didn't Hateful, he didn't need to embarrass the other party either.
"Thank you, wang ye, wang fei." The young master of the Lin family responded without being arrogant or arrogant, and retreated to Lin Xiang's side, completely ignoring the embarrassed mother and sister behind him.
Smart people are good, but there are too many smart people around her, and it's too tiring to deal with smart people. It's really interesting to see a dumb boy by chance.
Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu stood aside without looking at them, hesitating whether they should accept Mrs. Lin and Lin Wanting, who were saluting in front of them, and they sat down directly in the upper seat.
When Lin Xiang saw this, he turned his head and glared at them fiercely, and then stepped forward with a smile on his face, chatting with Xiao Wang's mansion.
Mrs. Lin and Lin Wanting were extremely embarrassed. Standing on the ground is not the same as stepping back.
Fortunately, Xiao Tianyao did not talk to Lin Xiang for too long, so he took Lin Xiang and the young master of the Lin family to the study, and asked Lin Chujiu to entertain Mrs. Lin and Lin Wanting.
"Let's go to sit in the flower room?" Lin Chujiu got up and asked politely. Before Mrs. Lin and Lin Wanting could speak, she ordered someone to go to the flower room to set up tables and chairs.
Mrs. Lin and Lin Wanting looked embarrassed, but they had to keep up.
The three came to the flower room, and the servants had already set up the tables, chairs, and refreshments. Lin Chujiu greeted, "Sit down," and sat down on the main seat.
"Thank you, Princess." Mrs. Lin squeezed out four words with difficulty, but Lin Wanting couldn't say a word, her pretty face flushed red.
Lin Chujiu just acted as if she didn't see it, and sat down calmly, and then sipped tea and snacks on her own, without any intention of taking care of Mrs. Lin and Lin Wanting.
When Mrs. Lin and Lin Wanting saw this, they were both happy and anxious. They were glad that Lin Chujiu didn't embarrass them, and they were anxious and didn't know how to ask for mercy.
They have never asked anyone since they were born. Even if they want to please the Crown Prince, Queen and Concubine Zhou, they don't need to put down their posture, but today they have to put down their posture and ask for someone they despise.
Lin Wanting and Mrs. Lin struggled in their hearts for a long time. They tried to speak up several times and took the initiative to raise the topic, but when they saw Lin Chujiu's happy face, they couldn't speak.
Lin Wanting and Mrs. Lin asked others but couldn't open their mouths. Of course, Lin Chujiu wouldn't speak out generously. She didn't want to entertain the Lin family. They didn't speak. Lin Chujiu was happy.
Unlike Lin Chujiu's deserted side, Lin Xiang took the initiative to take out the political affairs of the court and chat with Xiao Tianyao as soon as he arrived in the study. Who is close to Concubine Zhou again
Of course, Lin Xiang would not miss this opportunity to tell Xiao Tianyao how much power he had in the court.
Lin Xiangwei has been close to each other for nearly 20 years, and he has always been favored by the emperor. It is a simple matter for him to arrange people. The water in the capital was turbulent, and the official positions of real power were controlled by the noble family, but the noble family wanted to hold the local official position a lot. Although Lin Xiang did not have many cronies in the Sixth Division, he had many cronies in the local area.
"In the early years, thanks to the emperor's love, I presided over the three imperial examinations. The three imperial examinations admitted nearly 1,000 officials, many of them in high positions, and even one person was already a senior official." In order to let Xiao Tianyao release After him, Lin Xiang spared no effort to show his strength.
"On weekdays, although I have never contacted them, they all remember the kindness of my teacher, and they will never refuse if something happens."
"The south side has always been dominated by aristocratic families, and the tax revenue is not as good as a year. I have a student who is an official in the south side. He has found something related to those noble families, but he doesn't know who to give it to?"
…
In order to let Xiao Tianyao relax, Lin Xiang almost even explained his old story. After talking for a long time, Xiao Tianyao finally said: "Bring him to see this king another day!"
When Lin Xiang heard this, he was overjoyed: "I feel at ease with what the lord said." Xiao Wang was willing to accept the application form he handed in, so he must have let him go.
"It's not early, I won't disturb the prince, and I will leave first." Lin Xiang couldn't understand Xiao Tianyao's temper, so he didn't dare to stay any longer.
"Yeah." Xiao Tianyao didn't even raise his head, making it clear that he would not send Lin Xiang.
Of course, Lin Xiang didn't dare to ask Xiao Tianyao to send it away. After leaving the study, Lin Xiang asked his servants to invite Mrs. Lin and Lin Wanting, and the family of four met at the gate of Xiao Wang's mansion.
Lin Xiang resolved one of his worries and was in a good mood. Seeing that Lin Chujiu had never come out to show him off, there was a glint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he thought that this was Xiao Wangfu's life to hold back.
Let's get through this first, and there will be opportunities for other things later.
Lin Wanting has always been obedient. Seeing Lin Xiang's expression was wrong, she immediately guessed one or two. As soon as she returned to the Lin Mansion, she pretended to be worried and blamed herself: "Dad, my mother and I have been begging for sister for a long time, and we even knelt down, but sister You still refuse to help us plead for the prince, what should we do?"
"Wanting, don't talk nonsense." Madam Lin felt uneasy and hurriedly pulled Lin Wanting.
"Mother, I'm not talking nonsense. My sister really refuses to intercede for us. We have been begging her for a long time, but she never let go. She didn't care about the relationship." Lin Wanting opened her eyes and lied. Although Mrs. Lin was disturbed, she did not dare to let Xiang Lin Knowing that they had been sitting all morning without saying a word to Lin Chujiu, they could only pretend to be confused.
"The ninth day? She really refuses to intercede for us?" Although he reached an agreement with King Xiao, Lin Xiang was still very unhappy when he heard Lin Wanting's words.
In Lin Xiang's view, the children of the Lin family should sacrifice themselves for the Lin family, Wanting is no exception, and Lin Chujiu is no exception.
"Sister refuses, and she also said... It's for the sake of the flesh and blood that she didn't fall into the trap." Lin Wanting lowered her head, looking sad, but in fact she didn't want Lin Xiang to see the guilty conscience in her eyes.
Lin Xiang didn't suspect him, there was a flash of resentment in his gloomy eyes, and said resentfully: "The unfamiliar white-eyed wolf is just a bastard, she really thinks that she can become a phoenix by flying on a branch, be careful that it will end up empty. ."
Mrs. Lin and Lin Wanting were stunned for a moment, and looked at Lin Xiang in astonishment, shocked.
Lin Simian realized that he had said the wrong thing, he coughed bluntly, and walked into the room with his sleeves...
