Chapter Ninety-Six: Colorful Feathers
In the end, Xue Tianxing returned in vain, a little depressed, more looking at the disbelief in Lin Bing's eyes, and there was a trace of something that Lin Qichen couldn't understand, but he covered it up well and retreated decisively.
Lin Tong slapped his skirt and waved his sleeves out of the flowers. From the top of the mountain rock where the small waterfall was located, two women in maid costumes fell and followed Lin Tong.
Lin Bing pointed at the two women and said, "These two people are the dead soldiers next to the eighth sister! I heard that this custom was passed down from the ancestral house. I also have two. But when I called them, they did not listen to me. It's just following all day, it's so boring!"
At this time, Lin Qichen was inconvenient to say that he knew earlier, so he just nodded, and then said with a smile: "The children in the ancestral house, regardless of men and women, generally arrange some of the most heartfelt people around them to guard them since childhood. These people have no command from their masters, and they have to run with their masters all their lives, but I have also seen that there is no place to live, and there is no food. ”
Lin Bing's mouth opened wide, and his wet eyes were full of surprise. Obviously, I don't understand that there are children in the ancestral house who have suffered like this.
In fact, it is the same everywhere, a person is not valued, which is the premise of whether he can enjoy better treatment. You can only live by the charity or mood of others, and it is better to rely on your own strength to never worry about trouble. When we have the ability, others can't ignore it, and everything doesn't have to be fought for, and it won't be without ours. I'm working hard! Otherwise, sooner or later, there will be no place for me to stand in my ancestral home. ”
"Third Uncle Yu is the head of the family, Sixth Brother Chen won't be like this!"
Lin Qichen turned his eyes to look at Lin Bing, who was pouting, "It would be nice if the sixth brother could leave the clan and be as free as you." ”
"Huh?" Lin Bing's expression this time was extremely yin and yang;
I often hear that her grandfather misses the ancestral home, and is angry and incapable of becoming the eldest son. There are also all kinds of supreme praise from all mortal realms for the eldest prince, and the eldest prince should be the ultimate that the world can think of. The mortal world looks up at the splendor of the sun in the sky. Why did Sixth Brother Chen say that the clan was better and freer?
Lin Qichen looked at Lin Bing and felt gloomy in his heart. It's not just Lin Bing, it's just him who has not long realized it. The cold wind that was unbearable in the heights finally blew on his body no longer obstructed, and the taste can only be experienced personally......
Separated from Lin Bing's fork in the road outside the garden, Lin Qichen took people back to the courtyard and eat. Lin Bing walked slowly on the way back to his yard, looking back at Lin Qichen's shrinking back from time to time;
"Ninth sister?"
"Drink!" Lin Bing looked at Xue Tianxing, who was blocking the large number in front of him, and was very frightened. After turning her senses, she looked at him without being salty or indifferent, and her face was unconsciously a little guilty, and said, "It turned out to be Young Master Xue, I don't know where this came from?"
Xue Tianxing didn't care about Lin Bing's indifference, and said, "I went to the garden to take a stroll, and the garden in the Dalin Mansion really lives up to its reputation!
He pointed at Lin Qichen's back, and at this time, Lin Qichen had already disappeared with the two of them.
Lin Bing glanced back and walked forward with the maid, "Oh! Sixth Brother Chen was talking to me just now. You didn't catch up though. If you want to see him, go to his yard and find him. ”
She frowned suddenly, bent over and covered her stomach with her hands, and turned her head to look at Xue Tianxing as if she was in pain, "I'm starving to death!
Xue Tianxing wanted to say something, but Lin Bing didn't listen at all, and ran away with his maid.
"Young Master, I think this Ninth Miss has seen you and Eighth Miss. Otherwise, I wouldn't have ignored you now. ”
Xue Tianxing pulled the corners of his mouth, "She's too young, she's still a concubine, no matter what, I won't take a fancy to her." If it weren't for the fact that Dalin Mansion was not an ordinary family, it would be best for the two sisters to accept it together.
Hmph! Grandfather just valued the world's merchant Lin family, and now the main thing is the bloodline of the Dalin Mansion, as well as those Tianjing.
The situation is stronger than people, and no matter how much backbone the young master has, he has to bend in front of Dalin Mansion. Let's go! There is a chance to see if you can make friends with the eldest prince of Chen, which is much more than a manager of Dalin Mansion. ”
"Young Master is wise!"
*——*——*——*
It was the end of the hour when Lin Qichen finished eating his breakfast. The sun was already scorching. Changchuan came back for a while;
Lin Qichen took the four people of Chang'an, plus Gui Mingling and twenty private guards, to the main courtyard where Lin Kuanting lived.
Gui Mingling approached Lin Qichen without a trace, "Young Master, when are we going to the hall on the line?"
"What's the hurry?"
"How can you not be in a hurry. Young master, you know. Gui Mingling scratched his head.
"Three or four days!" Lin Qichen was also a little anxious. "This time, if it weren't for the fact that our lives were really at stake, we would have stayed here for a month. Wait for me to talk to the fourth uncle, I think he can understand;"
"It's the subordinates who are too impatient. Young master, don't blame!" Gui Mingling whispered no;
"You're also thinking about everyone. Look at the opportunity, if the house is stable, you should first write down your personal preferences, and you can summarize them. Collect it all and send it over. It also saves you the trouble again in the future. ”
Gui Mingling was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was too busy to respond;
"Changsheng, what are you taking?" but Lin Qichen inadvertently saw that Changsheng had an extra feather in his hand, and at some point;
Changchuan and Gui Mingling, who were in a similar position, also looked at Changsheng together, only to see that Changsheng was really holding a colorful feather in his hand, and the blue, yellow, and orange colors were shining in the sun; Gui Mingling said: "This is a pheasant, the feathers of the three-color golden pheasant. It must have been picked on the side of the road, right?"
Changsheng nodded, pointing to the neatly manicured dwarf shrub beside the road;
"Oh?" Lin Qichen took the foot-long hair in his hand. "The hair is so long, is it on the wings or on the tail?"
"It's on the wings. Gui Mingling looked at it for a moment.
Changchuan was a little puzzled, "The feathers on the wings are so long, is this kind of chicken quite big? Have we ever eaten it?"
Chang'an smiled and walked over. At first sight, it is a chicken feather, "this kind of chicken is called pine duck, the big one is only about three catties, but the coat color is bright, the cry is like a duck, it is very difficult to hear! But it flies like a shuttle, likes to glide, and is easy to be shot down by hunters when gliding." It should be game bought in the kitchen of the house. But there are very few purchases in our house. Most of the meat in the ancestral house is from the spirit birds and spirit beasts captured by the disciples of the sect, and the taste is better. ”
Changchuan and Changsheng were born in the ancestral house of the Lin family since childhood, and they entered the mansion at the age of six or seven compared to Chang'an and Changchang, and they have more knowledge in the world;
Changsheng liked this feather very much, knowing that this thing would leave some face, and it was inconvenient to blatantly put it in the storage bag, and he was afraid that it would rot in his arms, and he couldn't take it all the way to the main courtyard.
In the end, under the amused eyes of everyone, he had to put the feather on a tree branch, saying that he would come back and take it back again. In the long run, he couldn't plug it firmly, so he stepped forward to pick it up and poke it directly into the wood, and Changsheng looked at it, and the feathers were firmly inserted into the wood two inches, and the position was quite high and very firm, so it didn't matter;
The road was smooth, Lin Qichen came to the main courtyard, and was led to Lin Kuanting's study by Lin Fang, who had been waiting for a long time. In Chang'an, they waited outside;
Lin Kuanting's book case has already laid out a lot of paperwork-like things.
Lin Qichen gave him a salute, and he didn't get up late.
Lin Kuanting kindly pulled him to the front of the case, pointed to these documents and said: "These are some records of the Jingquan Line, and there must be a lot of ancestral houses, but this is the marginal news collected from the Fourth Uncle's Ancestral Mansion over the years. And some of the things that your eldest brother left behind when he came here more than ten years ago.
Back then, the fourth uncle and ancestor also ran through this line with your Taizu. I'm just going to tell you about it. ”
"Taizu was in charge of this line back then?"
This is one of the two shortest lines of the Lin family, and the other is the shorter Fengcheng line. How could Qiu Taizu be in charge of this kind of business line?
Lin Kuanting saw Lin Qichen's puzzlement, pressed him to the chair next to him and sat down, and he himself found a chair to sit in it. He was holding his beard and looking leisurely, but he told a secret.
"The Jingquan line originally belonged to the Qian family. Later, he was asked by Qiu Taizu to come over, and he became the Lin family. ”
Lin Qichen was also a little surprised, "Could it be that there is anything hidden in it?"
Lin Kuanting sighed and said, "The Jingquan Line has always been a stable line.
But Qian Guokun, one of the four sons of the Qian family, was killed in Jingquan. Not to mention the bones, even the golden seed was not found, it was the shattering of his life card in the ancestral mansion that confirmed the situation, and even alarmed the Dao Ancestor back then, but there was still no result. ”
"Are you sure it happened in Jingquan?"
Lin Kuanting heard Lin Qichen's question, but he showed a strange look. "Little Liu, you haven't gone to practice?"
Lin Qichen was a little embarrassed, so he had to explain the reasons why he had already made up how to become the eldest prince.
Lin Kuanting listened to it very curiously, looked at Lin Qichen, and didn't know what to say for a while. It took a long time to say, "If you can sponsor the five masters together, our room will also have a big face!"
This is the secret of the ancestral house, and it is inconvenient for him to ask the specific details after he leaves the clan. It seems that we need to teach this kid well! Why didn't the third brother and Chen Ling give him a good explanation, and then sent the child out? What a recklessness!
"The fourth uncle will tell you about it in detail. Listen up!"
Lin Kuanting gave Lin Qichen a good advice, and seeing that his expression was solemn, Fang began to say: "When the eldest prince gets a trade route, he will give him a business line card; This genus card is not an ornament, but it is actually equivalent to opening the key to the corresponding secret place.
At the beginning of the formation of the Six Forbidden Seals, the left realm was in great difficulty, and talents withered. Outside of the abundant resources, there are bans set up by the mountains and seas to prevent large-scale poaching.
But after the ban on mountains and seas was set, it became the Dao Monarch of the Earth Realm to steal;
When the prohibition of the realm is raised, the group of thieves becomes the Heavenly Realm Dao Venerable;
And so on: for a long time, about a thousand years, the seven merchants of the world can actually harvest very few resources, and once the merchants of the world will be extinct and return to the world;
In the end, it was the three Dao Ancestors who left the Realm to hide from right and wrong before the Great Tribulation of the Left Realm, and then returned, and raised the prohibitions everywhere to the Dao Ancestor level, which finally protected the resources to the greatest extent; although they couldn't stop the Dao Ancestor figures, there were only ten or eight Dao Ancestors in the Left Realm, and the maximum period was no more than fifty. These people collect treasures, and each of them is very measured, and they are not in a hurry for quick success.
Since then, the seven worlds have developed and have the opportunity to really show their talents. also gained a foothold in front of the sect, and his status improved day by day. ”
