Zhuolu

Chapter 49: Yo Yo (1)

Views:

In the depths of the withered lotus and decayed reed, pavilions, terraces and pavilions form one after another. From a distance, I saw a group of people, dressed in blue brocade robes, covered with sky blue wide-sleeved gauze clothes, standing with hands hanging in the cool wind.

The Patriarch of the Lin family, Lin Yedan, Duke of the Qing Dynasty, stood in front of the people, looking at Lin Xin who came by boat for a moment, as if he was looking for someone's shadow in him.

Lin Xin also looked at this blood-related uncle from afar.

The Lin family all had a pair of peach blossom eyes, but the peach blossom eyes are different from each other. The eldest son Lin Qu is as handsome as a beautiful jade, looking elegant and romantic; Lin Yedan has a coffin face, as if everyone owes him money.

In his previous life, Lin Xin had just killed his master and was doing nothing in the palace. This uncle had visited him. His eyes were full of disgust, as if he was something to be ashamed of.

"Since you have a spiritual vein, follow me back to the Lin family and kowtow to your ancestors for your unfilial father." Lin Yedan's tone was fierce, and for a child who had just lost his master, it was not something to rely on Object.

Lin Xin ignored this uncle who appeared out of nowhere.

"This kid hasn't spoken to anyone for a month, and I'm still trying to find a way," Emperor Yuan Shuo patted Lin Xin's head apologetically, "Don't force him."

"Since his father is dead, he should be disciplined by the Lin family."

"His father's lineage has been separated from the Lin family, and I will take good care of him."

Lin Yedan walked away in a huff. Lin Xin just silently rejected the only chance to recognize him back to the Lin family. When the murderous name of his master spread, the Lin family, which has been handed down for generations, would naturally not recognize him again.

Later, he became Marquis of the Deer Harvesting. At the age of seventeen, Lu Li was confiscated. Lin Yedan had already retired, and handed over the position of Duke and Patriarch to the eldest son Lin Qu.

This cousin of his was extremely smooth, with a pair of warm peach blossom eyes always smiling, he would give what he wanted, and never conflicted with Lin Xin.

But now, the harvesting of the deer was two years ahead of schedule, and the owner of the family has not yet been replaced. It is still the same Lin Yedan who spoke sarcastically and regarded him as something dishonorable.

Lin Xin tapped his toes, and jumped directly from the bow of the boat onto the waterside pavilion at the dock. Yuan'a behind him stepped forward, and the nine stood neatly behind Lin Xin, holding a broad-bladed sword in their hands, drooping corners of their mouths, cold eyes, and perfect debt-collecting faces.

"Lin Xin, I have met Duke Qing." Lin Xin raised his hand and gave a half salute.

Lin Yedan returned a half salute with a cold face.

"Lin Qu, I've seen the Marquis Cutting the Lu." The prince smiled and saluted, "The Marquis has come from a long way, please come in and have a cup of rough tea."

Treading Snow Cottage does not have the carved railings and jade bricks like Zhu's house, and is decorated with plants and trees everywhere. The wooden colonnades are surprisingly elegant with only a layer of varnish.

Three steps, one pavilion, five steps, one scene, all have allusions. Lin Xin looked at the poem on the screen wall, "The cold wind pierces through the forest and the rain hits the leaves, and the withered lotus fights in the snow and there is no sound."

His father's original name was Lin Yesheng, and his nickname was Zhenghan. After leaving the family, he no longer mentioned the original name similar to the head of the family, and the world only knew him as Lin Zhenghan.

"This is your father's words." Lin Yedan stood beside Lin Xin, looking at the two lines of vigorous and powerful poems with his hands behind his back, as if he was looking at his rebellious younger brother.

His father's calligraphy is neat and elegant, and he is quite famous in the south of the Yangtze River. Unfortunately, he didn't inherit it. Instead, he learned Zhu Xingli's wild cursive. Sometimes I can't tell whether I am the son of the Lin family or the Zhu family. Lin Xin withdrew his gaze and didn't look any further.

"Over there is the Lin Family Ancestral Hall," Lin Yedan pointed to the high-ridged hall not far away, and said in a blunt tone, "If you give up that Lao Shizi's position as Marquis of the Deer, you can go back to the Lin Family and move your father's memorial tablet. return."

The Lin family, who have studied for generations, attaches great importance to the clan ancestral hall. Lin Yedan sent out such an invitation, probably already "extremely gracious".

"Thank you, Lord, for your love." Lin Xin laughed, his eyes full of sarcasm, "Everywhere you are a lackey, it's better to be a member of the royal family, at least it's more comfortable."

"You..." Lin Yedan's face turned livid, "Just like your father, you bastard!"

Lin Xin pushed the swallowing hook with his thumb, and looked at Lin Yedan's coffin face coldly, "The Duke of the country is self-respecting, and this Marquis is now a prince. Although the fief is not as big as the Lin family, he is not your subordinate. At most, he is a vassal." younger generation."

The implication is, if I give you face, just follow it, don't push your nose to face, you really regard yourself as an elder.

"You dare to draw your sword against me!" Lin Yedan was furious, and pulled out the spirit sword from his waist with a slap.

"Father!" Lin Qu grabbed Lin Yedan's wrist, frowned and said, "That's not what you said earlier."

Behind Lin Xin, Yuan'a drew his sword out of its sheath in unison, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Lin Xin drew out the scimitar unhurriedly, and flicked the blade casually, "Even if this Marquis admits to returning to the Lin family, one or two pieces of deer glass should be handed over. The deer order must have been read by the Duke of the country." , stop gossip, and ask the Duke to bring Luli."

Lin Xin has already mastered the kung fu of exasperating people.

The Lin family, who are most shameless, naturally don't want to listen to this kind of speculation. Lin Qu held his father who was trembling with anger, and said softly: "Your Majesty misunderstood, the Lin family is not going to make friends for such a little deer glass, Sui Gong is already ready , Master Hou, just try it."

After finishing speaking, he slightly raised his hand, and the guard carried the boxed Lu Li into the courtyard. Lin Xin retracted the hook and made a flip gesture. Yuan Ah immediately poured out all the deer glasses, spread them on the ground and checked and weighed them one by one.

The crisp sound of Lu Li falling to the ground seemed to have knocked the face of the Lin family to the ground.

"Are you doing this to make enemies of all the great families?" Lin Yedan said in a deep voice, shaking off his son's hand.

"It's all about serving the emperor. You can't be an enemy or an enemy!" Lin Xin turned to look at Lin Yedan, "My father left the Lin family, was hunted down by the enemy, and took my mother and me to hide in Tibet. The emperor gave him the title , and gave him glory."

He has no ill feeling towards the Lin family, after all, it was his father who betrayed the Lin family. At the beginning, it was agreed that life and death are fate, and there is nothing to do with it. He couldn't blame the Lin family for not saving Lin Zhenghan's family when he was in trouble. Correspondingly, Lin Yedan had no right to discipline him!

In order to welcome Beimo's envoys, a banquet will be held in the palace, with lanterns and festoons everywhere, very lively.

Shen Lou stayed in Beimo for a while, and when he returned to the capital, it was snowing lightly in Yongdu. Standing by the small lake in the imperial garden, watching the snowflakes melt silently in the water, expecting Lin Xin to suddenly appear from behind, put his chin on his shoulder, and say coquettishly, "It's so cold, please hug me .”

Suddenly, a soft hand rested on his shoulder, and Shen Lou turned around with a smile in his eyes, but he didn't see the person he wanted to see, but a strange woman.

The woman is wearing a pink skirt, a jade belt around her waist, and a golden peony hairpin on her head. She has a beautiful face and a noble temperament.

"Chen Lou, I have met Princess Yunxi." Shen Lou quickly took two steps back and saluted the other party.

"You recognize me!" After Yunxi was surprised, she burst into unconcealable joy, "Your Majesty has seen me?"

She seldom appeared in front of people, and only participated in palace banquets during the New Years and holidays. She did not expect that Shen Lou would notice her.

"I don't dare, I'm just guessing." A woman who can move freely in the palace is definitely not a court lady. It is impossible for a concubine to get close to a foreign minister, so the only one who can appear here is the princess. As for the princess of this age in the palace, there is only Yunxi, so it's not difficult to guess.

Princess Yunxi felt a little lost immediately, "So that's the case, it's Yunxi who is being abrupt."

The atmosphere fell into embarrassment for a moment.

This princess was about to be sent to be married, it was inconvenient for Shen Lou to talk to her, so he folded his hands and prepared to say goodbye.

Seeing that Shen Lou was about to leave, Princess Yunxi hurriedly said: "Shizi Shen, do you know who will marry this time..."

"The princess should ask the prince." Shen Lou lowered his eyes.

"If you have anything to ask, it must be me," Princess Yunxi laughed at herself. She is the only princess of the right age in the palace. These days, she has hired a gentleman who can speak a barbaric language to teach her, "I want to ask, but Wu Luolan Khan, what kind of person are you?"

When Shen Lou went to Beimo as an envoy, it took a lot of trouble to meet Wu Luolan He Ruo, recalling the person he saw in the golden tent, he said truthfully: "Khan is young and handsome, with extraordinary bravery."

He Ruo and Shen Qirui's generation still look young, with strong spiritual power and astonishing aura. It's just that he doesn't talk much, and is as cold as a wolf king on a snow mountain, as if his attendants would rush to bite the enemy's throat.

Princess Yunxi was not very happy when she heard this, "What's the use of being beautiful, but a rough barbarian from Beimo."

"Shen Da!" Zhong Youyu ran over with a smile, and when she saw Princess Yunxi here, she immediately stopped in her tracks.

Princess Yunxi glanced at Zhong Youyu calmly, nodded slightly at Shenlou, turned and left.

"Isn't that Princess Yunxi?" Zhong Youyu has seen this princess in the palace all year round, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile, "The emperor intended to betroth her to you before, so he came to you at this time. I must have come to ask you for help."

Sending to Beimo for marriage does not necessarily have to be a princess who is a direct relative, daughters of royal families or princes are all acceptable. If Shen Lou proposed to the emperor at this time that he wanted to marry Yunxi, Feng Zhuoyi would definitely give him the princess.

Shen Lou frowned, "I already have a sweetheart, so I definitely can't marry her. Why don't you do this good thing."

"Me? No, no, no," Zhong Youyu shook his head like a rattle, "Wait, what do you mean by sweetheart? When did you have a sweetheart? Who is it?"

Shen Lou didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned and left.

Zhong Youyu followed immediately, and started chattering, "Well, Shen Lou, if you don't share this kind of thing with me, then I won't tell you, those aristocratic families are preparing to deal with Lin Xin."

The author has something to say: Small theater:

Princess: Shen Lou Shen Lou, I have something to tell you

Lou Lou: Don’t listen, men and women don’t kiss each other

Youyu: Shen Lou Shen Lou, I have something to tell you

Lou Lou: If you don’t listen, it must be nonsense

Xinxin: Shen Lou Shen Lou, I, I forgot what to say

Lou Lou: What Xinxin said is really interesting, hug and hold high ( ̄3 ̄)
