Volume 2 Seeking Fang on the Hundred Flowers Continent Chapter 83 Asking for Guilt (continued)
At this moment, the whole building is brightly lit and golden, like a glorious palace, radiating brilliance in the twilight.
"How many candles are needed?" As a businessman, Lin Boyong not only thought in his heart, but soon he scolded himself in his heart for being a little childish, how much money can this cost? Even the Lin family doesn't care about this.
Not far from entering the vicinity of Wangchao Tower, Lin Boyong saw a figure hidden in the darkness. Those are the guards of the palace, responsible for guarding the safety of the prince. It is no exaggeration to say that on the woods and mountain roads within a radius of several miles from this Wangchao Tower, even a mouse is approaching the left side of the Wangchao Tower without knowing it.
In the hall on the first floor, Lin Boyong saw Liang Wangye sitting on a big chair, although he only glanced at it hurriedly, Lin Boyong had already collected enough information. The prince's face couldn't see anything, but the face of the little prince standing next to the prince was tense, the faces of several personal guards were fierce, and the blades in their hands were bright and terrifying. From this information, Lin Boyong initially sensed a hint of something wrong.
"The old Lin Boyong has seen the prince a thousand years old, and the prince is Jin'an." Lin Boyong quickly stepped forward, prostrate under the throne of Liang, and kowtowed.
"Get up quickly, why do you make this great gift? Get up and sit down, and someone will make tea. Guo Bing said repeatedly, his voice was calm, giving Lin Boyong a trace of comfort.
Lin Boyong got up and saluted Guo Kun's little prince, but Guo Kun replied lightly, his face was still serious. Lin Boyong felt very bad again.
Someone stepped forward and brought a chair for Lin Boyong to sit down and make him tea. Lin Boyong thanked him again and again, sat down on his side, and looked at King Liang.
Guo Bing smiled and said: "Master of the Lin family, first of all, I would like to thank your Lin family for your help, helping me to arrange the birthday gift of the queen mother, and bothering to transport it to the capital for this king." Thank you very much. ”
Lin Boyong hurriedly said: "What the prince said, this is the honor of my Lin family." The Queen Mother's birthday is a grand event for all the people in the world. To be able to contribute to this, my Lin family is deeply honored. As long as this matter can be done well, my Lin family will not hesitate to mobilize all manpower and material resources. ”
Guo Bing nodded and smiled: "That's good." I believe that the Queen Mother will be extremely happy to know that I can have people like you in the Great Zhou Dynasty. When this king goes to Beijing next month, he will definitely report your Lin family's contribution to the Queen Mother, so that her old man will know your Lin family's filial piety. ”
"Oh, that's an honor, an honor." Lin Boyong was so excited that he almost slipped off the chair. This is not an ordinary face, if the Queen Mother knew that this gift was procured by the Lin family, then her Lin family would be greatly beneficial.
"Let's not talk about this matter, the gift will definitely arrive in the capital after the middle of next month, and the king will inform you when the news arrives. Not...... In fact, this king did not call you to talk about this matter, but this king has another thing to ask you. ”
"Please ask the prince." Lin Boyong said busily.
……
Lin Boyong almost gritted his teeth and left the palace, and in the carriage back, Lin Boyong scolded out of shape. Lin Jue, a bastard, caused a lot of trouble for himself, he actually offended Liang Wangfu, which was simply an act of death.
Lin Boyong had heard about the Oiran Contest 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 children of the Lin family who secretly went to take a look. Several of his sons go every year, but as long as they keep a low profile and just go to join in the fun, Lin Boyong will never be nitpicky. Besides, the prohibition of entering and leaving the Qinglou has been laughed at countless times, and Lin Boyong himself feels a little out of place, but that is the rule of his ancestors, what he can do is to stick to it, so as to ensure that the Lin family's family style is passed on from generation to generation.
It is said that there was an upset at the Oiran Contest that night, and the two Qinglou belonging to the Liang Wangfu, which were well prepared and bound to win, were defeated that night, but they were won by a building called Mochizuki Tower. After hearing the news, Lin Boyong also smiled and said, "This Moon Tower really doesn't know the limelight, isn't this looking for something by yourself?" This person who helped Mochizuki Tower is also a fool, isn't this looking for his own death? ’。 And now, what he never expected was that this person looking for death was Lin Jue.
The prince was quite kind when he spoke, but the words of the little prince made Lin Boyong really feel a little frightened. What the little prince Guo Kun said is: Your Lin family should not rely on the big family business, and if there are still people in the center, they dare to do whatever they want. As long as I, Liang Wangfu, am willing, what kind of backer will have to fall, and what kind of family business will have to be dispersed. The world is the world of the Guo family, to put it bluntly, all your wealth and status are given by the Guo family, and everyone can coexist peacefully with harmony.
Although the little prince was scolded by King Liang a few times when he said this, Lin Boyong did not dare to ignore these words at all. What the little prince means is that he can let his second brother get out of the center at any time, and he can also let his Lin family fall at any time. Lin Boyong may scoff at others when they say this, but the little prince of the palace said this, and the weight of it can be imagined. They have the ability, but in fact it may just be a sentence. Today, the saint is the prince's own brother, maybe it was just a sentence in the family banquet, and his Lin family was wiped out, which is not an exaggeration at all.
After figuring out what happened to the whole thing, 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, what the prince meant was that Lin Boyong had better expel this person from the Lin family, so that he should be responsible for this person's actions after that, and if someone troubled him, the Lin family's face would not be lost. After all, it was the one who had 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 concubine actually entered Songshan Academy and became a student of Fang Daru. But now that he is dying by himself, and he wants to implicate the Lin family, even if he knows that he is a talent, he must erase it without hesitation.
But the problem is that just because Lin Jue helped Wangyue Tower, he can't expel him from the clan with any reason. The seven mistakes of expelling the clan are all big mistakes, but they don't include helping the Qinglou woman get the oiran.
How can he justifiably expel Lin Jue from the Lin family and let the palace deal with him, he can't see it. This requires a good reason. Lin Boyong, who was going to call Lin Jue to scold him after returning to the house because of anger, calmed down after returning to the mansion.
"Liancheng, go and invite your father-in-law to come." Lin Boyong felt that he needed to find someone who could think of ideas with him, and this person was naturally Huang Changqing's best.
"......" Zhao Liancheng looked at the head of the family with resentment, the head of the family obviously had something to discuss, but he didn't discuss it with himself.
"Hurry up, you want me to hire someone myself, right?" Lin Boyong shouted.
"Yes, yes, let's go." Zhao Liancheng agreed in a loud voice, and rushed to invite Huang Changqing.
Zhao Liancheng was depressed to death, it was obvious that his father-in-law was much more important than his position in the mind of the head of the family at a critical time. I'm just an errand runner. In the heart of the head of the family, the father-in-law is still the real steward of the forest house.
Huang Changqing had already fallen asleep, and when he heard the summons of the head of the family, he immediately dressed and got out of bed, and ran to see someone with his hair in a loose bun. Seeing Huang Changqing running out of breath and not very neatly dressed, Lin Boyong praised it very much in his heart. Huang Changqing will always be so humble and loyal, as long as he needs him, no matter what he is doing, even if he is in the thatched house, he will bring up his pants and rush to meet. What is lacking around me is this kind of person, even if it is his own son, he can't do it.
"The head of the family, I don't know what to tell Changqing to come?" Huang Changqing asked breathlessly.
"Changqing, sit. Liancheng, don't you want to serve tea to your father-in-law? Lin Boyong said.
"Hey, here goes." Zhao Liancheng hurriedly ordered people to serve tea.
After the tea came up, Lin Boyong waved his hand and waved everyone away. Zhao Liancheng still wanted to stand aside, but Lin Boyong said to him: "You also go out, there is Changqing here, nothing has anything to do with you." ”
Zhao Liancheng was stunned, and retreated with an ugly face.
"Yours, son-in-law, are shrewd and capable, that is...... Hey, I'm a little younger, and I'm looking taller. After Zhao Liancheng left, Lin Boyong said to Huang Changqing.
"Yes, Liancheng does have a lot of problems, if it weren't for the magnanimity of the head of the family, how would he have a foothold? The head of the family still needs to take care of it and allow him some time to practice. Do you think that when Changqing first became the chief steward, he was also clumsy and embarrassed? In such a big house, there are hundreds of people in the family and the outer room, and things are also complicated. I believe that if he is given some time, he will experience it. ”
"That's right, but the old man still wants you to take care of things, you shouldn't be the housekeeper, and the old man is not at ease. After a while, you will still be in charge of things, and let Liancheng be your master, so that he can be trained. ”
Huang Changqing was so moved that he almost cried, and said repeatedly: "Thank you to the head of the family, it all depends on the arrangement of the head of the family." Anyway, no matter what Changqing does in the house, it doesn't matter if it is sweeping the floor and feeding the horses, it will never affect my Huang Changqing's loyalty to the main family. ”
Lin Boyong nodded slowly and sighed softly.
Huang Changqing is so shrewd, observing words and colors is his strength, so he asked softly: "The head of the family called Changqing to come, but is there anything for Changqing to do?" The head of the house seems to be preoccupied. ”
Lin Boyong said slowly: "Changqing, something big happened in the family. ”
"What? What's wrong? Huang Changqing's heart tightened.
