Chapter 39 Party Struggle and Avoiding Suspicion
Gu Wuchen saw Lin Jian coming to visit, and said happily: "I just talked about you, so you came over." Today, Xiao Chinese New Year's Eve, do you want to stay and drink two cups with me......" Seeing Lin Lian holding the brocade box in his arms, his brows were slightly raised, and he said, "You can just come here, learn what others do with these things?" ”
"My lord, you have to teach me a lesson, it's not too late to teach me a lesson when you see what is in the brocade box." Lin Jian now spoke casually in front of Gu Wuchen, smiled and opened the brocade box containing the manuscript first, and presented it to Gu Wuchen, "I haven't come to see the adults in the house these days, but I haven't gone out to mess around. These days, I have sorted out a manuscript with Zhao Shuhan, the director of the prison hall of the Jiangning Criminal Department, and I have brought it to my lord today......"
"Oh," Gu Wuchen took the box containing the manuscript, there was still some pressure in the box of more than 300 pages, Gu Junxun sensibly walked over and took the box in his hand, and asked her father to read the manuscript......
Lin Jian took advantage of Gu Wuchen's concentration on reading the manuscript, handed the brocade box containing two Nanzhu to Gu Shi on the side, and said: "A few days ago, the young Marquis of Jin'an came to my house and gave me this plaything, I really can't shirk it, and I feel that it is really useless to leave this thing with me, thinking that it is almost the New Year's Festival, so I will bring it over and give it to my wife to please ......" He felt that Luxury Feihu should bring a batch of precious Nanzhu to Jiangning City for a big delivery, maybe the Gu family also received gifts, he simply explained the source of these two Nanzhu to the Gu family.
Gu Shi opened the brocade box and saw that it was two white southern pearls the size of a dragon's eye. A few days ago, when her sister-in-law of the luxury family visited, she also received two southern pearls from the luxury family, and she didn't know that the luxury Feihu actually sent four southern pearls to Lin Bin, but she felt that the luxury family actually treated her family with the same specifications as Lin Bin, and she was already quite unhappy with the Jin'an Hou Mansion in her heart. Of course, she didn't have the slightest opinion on Lin Bin, but when she heard Lin Jian directly admit that this was just him borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, she felt more and more that he was sincere and credible, squinted and smiled and said, "This good thing, you should keep it to please your daughter-in-law in the future...... Oh, speaking of which, you're twenty-one years old for the New Year, and you haven't decided on a kiss yet, right? ”
"Thank you Madame for your concern, Lin Jian only followed the adults to do some things, and he didn't have the heart to think about it." Lin Jian said.
"Getting married is inseparable from starting a career, you young people are thin-skinned, I put this in my heart for you, you don't have to worry about me being irresponsible to give you an ugly daughter-in-law back, you must always be satisfied with it." Gu said with a smile.
The Gu family doesn't have many people to be close to in Jiangning, and the people they usually come into contact with are not as comfortable and trustworthy as Lin Lian, plus her husband Gu Wuchen also appreciates this young man, so she is naturally more willing to do something icing on the cake, so she wants to take Lin Lian's marriage to herself.
Lin Lian felt bitter in his heart, and he still had to pretend to be grateful on his face, especially when the Gu family talked to him in the tone of an elder, which others didn't like to like. Gu Wuchen was distracted by the manuscript, so he didn't talk about Lin Tie sending Nanzhu, listening to Lin Tie's family affairs, he echoed: "Lin Tie should indeed get married early, and after he gets married, he can concentrate on doing things......
"It's a pity that the lady of the Xiao family is a married person, otherwise even if she was born in a cold room, it would be appropriate to be the main room for Lin Lian." Gu Shi said again, stabbing Gu Wuchen very casually, looking at her scale, it seems that she is really wondering whose daughter is the right person with Lin Lianmen.
Gu Junxun helped her father hold the manuscript, and occasionally peeked at Lin Jian with beautiful eyes, and spent more time either staring at the tips of her embroidered shoes that slightly exposed her skirt, or staring at the manuscript, and also pricking up her ears to listen to her mother standing there muttering about whose daughter.
During this time, Gu Junxun and her mother stayed in the house all day long, and the family members of the eunuchs and wealthy businessmen in Jiangning also came to visit from time to time, and met many young ladies in Jiangning City. But I'm embarrassed to say it.
Gu Wuchen really shifted the topic elsewhere, pointed to the manuscript and said to Lin Bin: "This place is really exquisite, I was worried about whether you, the prison officer, could do it, I was really worried." You are a young talent, how many people in the world can match this kind of knowledge? If you have someone copy this manuscript, I will send it to Yanjing for you, and Zhang Xiang and Xunniang's grandfather will be happy to read such articles......"
"I have already taken the manuscript to Zhengye Hall for printing," Lin Jian said, "This manuscript is really the credit of Lord Zhao Shuhan, he is promoting me, and he insists on signing my name...... "Gu Wuchen always faces the problem of lack of people in Jiangning, Zhao Shuhan no matter whether he is talented, qualified or famous, as long as the Chu Party is willing to use him, even if he is immediately promoted to the position of the chief inspector of the fifth grade, it is not too much, at that time, Gu Wuchen can directly use Zhao Shuhan as an assistant in Jiangdong, although Lin Jian felt that Gu Wuchen deliberately avoided mentioning Zhao Shuhan, He still insisted on mentioning Zhao Shuhan without knowing each other.
"Uh," Gu Wuchen sighed lightly and said to Lin Jian in a serious tone, "I heard of Zhao Shuhan when I was in Yanjing, although it was only a trivial matter back then, but after all, Chen Xinbo personally named and kicked out of Yanjing...... Whether Chen Xinbo will leave the phase or not, it is all the holy judgment today, if I recommend Zhao Shuhan in Jiangdong, I will give others the truth. ”
Although Gu Wuchen didn't use Zhao Shuhan in order to avoid the suspicion of party strife, but it made Zhao Shuhan completely fall victim to party strife, Lin Jian felt sorry for Zhao Shuhan in his heart, thinking that Gu Wuchen didn't use Zhao Shuhan's bearing, but he spoke more and more respectfully: "Lin Tie is abrupt......"
"Nothing, there is some truth, you will understand it later; You're pretty aggressive now, and that's a good thing. Gu Wuchen didn't bother Zhao Shuhan at all.
At this moment, Gu Siyuan walked into the garden, saw Lin Jian and Gu Yuanqiao were also there, and said, "You are also there......" His face was flushed, and his mouth was full of wine, it seemed that he had only returned from drinking in the afternoon.
Gu Wuchen frowned, looked at the lesson of his only son's hatred of iron and steel, and said, "Where have you been?" Today on Chinese New Year's Eve, you also go out to mess around, and you won't come back to eat lunch," shaking the manuscript in his hand rattled, "You are only two years younger than Lin Wei, when will I see you writing a book and making a thesis!" Go back to the study house, I see you walking around the house before dinner, be careful that I smoke you. ”
Gu Siyuan was disciplined, most of the wine woke up, he didn't dare to speak out in front of his Lao Tzu, but when he lowered his head and was trained, his eyes glanced at Lin Lian.
Lin Jian secretly said bitterly, thinking: It would be perfect for Master Gu to teach his son not to take himself out on his back. Gu Siyuan's impression of him was not good, and then compared it horizontally, Gu Siyuan was able to change his impression of him before he was called a ghost, and Lin Jian couldn't speak, what was wrong at this time, and waited for Gu Siyuan to walk out of the garden with a solemn face.
Before dinner, Lin Jian and Gu Wuchen talked a lot about prison governance, these days, he almost discussed the knowledge of prison management with Zhao Shuhan thoroughly, at this time, it was natural to talk about it, Gu Wuchen said: "The manuscript is printed, you take a few copies to me, Master Jia, I will give him a free copy, see how he still questions your ability to govern prison!" ”
Lin Jian felt that he was worshipping under Gu Wuchen's door, and Gu Wuchen strongly recommended himself to go to the Jiangdao prison, and it was not strange for Jia Pengyu to question his ability, so he stayed in Gu Mansion for dinner, and then said goodbye and left.
In the past, Gu's gifts for Lin Tie were all in the past, but this time Lin Tie went back, she took a brocade box and wrapped a beautiful silver lion paperweight to Lin Tie, and said: "I don't have any close juniors in Jiangning, I feel kind when I look at you, and I don't need to take anything as a meeting gift, this silver lion paperweight is still chosen by Xun Niang, saying that you like it...... In addition, you have no other relatives in Jiangning City, come over for a reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve. ”
Gu Siming and Gu Tianqiao are both considered the juniors of the Gu family, of course, they can't get such a precious gift, Lin Tie felt that pleasing the Gu clan during this time was a reward, and said earnestly: "Lin Tie has been lost since he was a child, so he feels that his wife is very kind, and he already regards his wife as a relative in his heart......" He opened the brocade box and looked at the silver lion paperweight, and thanked Gu Junxun, "Thank you Junxun sister for bothering." ”
Gu Junxun saw Lin Tie calling her so kindly, and knew that Lin Tie had no other meaning, but her face was inexplicably blushing first, stirring the corners of her clothes and bowing her head softly, "um", not saying anything else, seeing that he liked the silver lion paperweight he chose, his heart was also inexplicably tight.
Gu Wuchen was also very happy, and said, "I still have something to tell you, I'll send you to the front yard......"
Lin Jian didn't know what else Gu Wuchen had to say, so he didn't shirk Gu Wuchen to send him personally, and Gu and the others naturally didn't suspect him, and they didn't go out with him. Gu Tianqiao followed from a distance, not disturbing Gu Wuchen to talk to Lin Tie, he had already understood that in the minds of Gu Wuchen and the Gu family, Lin Tie was incomparable to his clan, not to mention him, even Gu Siming was far from being able to compare, looking at Gu Wuchen like that, I was afraid that he hated Lin Tie for not being his biological son.
Gu Wuchen said that he still had something to say, and he didn't open his mouth until he walked to the front yard, Lin Jian didn't want to ask, Zhao Hu and Zhou Pu prepared the carriage in the front yard, Gu Wuchen made up his mind, and said: "Miss Liu is a hard-working person, you have to treat her well......"
"Uh," Lin Lian was slightly stunned, of course he knew that Gu Wuchen didn't need to test himself with this, but he was still surprised, so he could only say, "Lin Lian has always respected Miss Liu's ...... in his heart."
Gu Wuchen pressed Lin Lian's shoulder and patted it, and said, "Chinese New Year's Eve remember to come over for dinner night, I won't let ......people urge you" Standing at the moon gate in the front yard and watching Lin Lian get into the carriage.
Lin Jian sat in the carriage and his mind was very chaotic, Gu Wuchen said that he completely gave up the idea of taking Liu Yue'er as a concubine, he never felt that women had a reason to let go in his heart, and today listening to Gu Wuchen's reminder, he couldn't help but feel more deeply that he really can't take the habit of a thousand years later to look at the relationship between men and women in this time and space. He returned to Jiyunju in a mess, Wu Qi had been guarding the front yard, and when he saw them coming back, he greeted them, and said in his ear: "Guess who came?" ”
Seeing Wu Qi like this, Lin Jian was overjoyed and asked, "Mr. Qin or Ziang?" I thought that only Qin Chengzu or Cao Ziang could come over in person to make Wu Qi look like this.
