Chapter 199 The Damn Old Man
Lin Huazhi hates Zhang Zi's smile on his mouth. He doesn't know the deep meaning, but he absolutely has bad intentions.
Ignoring everyone's eyes, Lin Huazhi pushed Zhang Ziqing away indifferently. Although he didn't say anything, he still stared at him fiercely. And Zhang Ziqing blinked like a naughty child.
"Is the old man in the house?" Although she didn't care about everyone looking at her like a monster, Lin Huazhi was not happy to look at her for a long time.
Chunbai came to his senses and said quickly, "It's inside. Let's go."
Lin Huazhi hummed, took two steps forward and walked into the yard side by side with Chunbai.
In the long porch, she saw Jinhou.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Lin Huazhi feels that there is no blood on Jinhou's face. Is it because of Zhang Ziqing's words just now? Or...
Lin Huazhi felt a little embarrassed and reluctantly squeezed out a smile on her face and said, "Miss Jinhou, good morning."
After a long time, Jinhou answered her, and then his eyes slid aside. Behind Lin Huazhi, it was Zhang Ziqing who was close to her.
Lin Huazhi thought that she might be able to understand Jinhou's mood at this time, but she didn't want to say anything.
After two generations, she knew in her heart that there was no one right or wrong about love, no one owed anyone, and no one had the position to blame the other party. Even if you are hurt, you can't go back.
She took a long breath secretly. Lin Huazhi cheered up and watched Jinhou raise the curtain. She raised her head and walked in.
"Master, Master, Miss Lin is here."
Compared with the last time I visited Mr. Zhang, the room is no longer an unpleasant herbal smell. There is only a faint medicinal fragrance in the air. The sun shines in from the open window, bringing a little warmth to the room.
Hearing the Marquis Jin step forward and gently called Mr. Zhang, Lin Huazhi stopped and stood there quietly through the half-open and half-covered veil.
After a while, there was a sound of rope behind the mantle. Chunbai hurried forward to close the mantle and raised his eyes again. Lin Huazhi saw Mr. Zhang sitting in a wooden wheelchair and was slowly pushed out.
He came forward to salute, and Lin Huazhi respectfully said, "Good luck, old master!" After the careful conditioning of Jinhou, the old man's spirit looks good, and the elegant demeanor of the beautiful uncle has also recovered.
"The flowers are coming. Sit down."
The old man motioned Jinhou to push him to the soft couch. Zhang Ziqing came forward and carried the old man to the bed, laid a cushion behind the old man, and carefully covered the old man with a brocade quilt. He half knelt and half sat aside, looking at Lin Huazhi with a smile.
Lin Huazhi smiled back and had to say that Zhang Ziqing is a good person. Whoever he likes will treat him wholeheartedly.
Lin Huazhi was not in a hurry to speak, because at this time, she saw the maid coming up with a bowl of soup medicine. Jinhou took the soup, took out a black carved porcelain bottle from the wooden box on the table, dripped two drops of water into it, gently shook the bowl, and carefully handed it to the old master.
The old man frowned and stretched out his hand to take it. Lin Huazhi noticed that the old man's hand was steady and unsteady, unlike the strength of her hands and trembling when she saw it last time. It seemed that the old man had recovered quite well.
After drinking the soup in one breath and rinsing with warm water, the old man waved his hand and said, "You all go down." Ziqing, you went to see your father with Jinhou. I heard that you twisted your foot in your second mother last night. You haven't seen your father since you came back, have you?
Seeing that the old master sent him out, Zhang Ziqing was slightly unhappy, but he was not as angry as before. He hummed sullenly, came down from the soft couch, walked over and closed the window halfway to prevent the wind from blowing on the old man, and then he went out with the Marquis Jin. House.
After a while, it was quiet outside the house.
Lin Huazhi looked at the old man and whispered, "Mr. Master, please tell me if you have anything."
"You are direct, what's wrong? Did you hear anything? Speak in a hurry, it's not like your previous nature. Although the old man spoke slowly, he could hear his voice powerfully.
It's really an old fox. He sighed in his heart. Lin Huazhi smiled and said, "The old man turned out all the old things from a year ago. I'm afraid the old man will be annoyed. At that time, I will be miserable."
"Oh, don't you want to hear what you mean?"
What are you willing to do? Forgive Huazhi's stupidity, please make it clear. Everyone can play Taiji, but Lin Huazhi doesn't mind pretending to be confused.
The old man looked at her for a long time and laughed: "Well, let's be honest. Do you want to marry the eldest or the second?
Sure enough, when turning around, she still had to mention the old things. Lin Huazhi knew early on that the old man was not the owner of the loss, and always had to show her determination to give up.
After a moment of silence, Lin Huazhi asked, "Is there a third choice?"
The old man smiled and asked her, "What do you think?"
Alas, the old fox is an old fox. Listening to this, he obviously intends to take advantage of it and doesn't want to suffer losses.
After raising his eyebrows and thinking for a long time, Lin Huazhi said in a low voice, "Master, let's talk about it first. Let's talk about whether to get married or not later. I finally understand that I can't escape the old man's five-finger mountain anyway.
This is really a sign of determination. The old man always hears it. At this time, if the old man doesn't give in, Lin Huazhi really has no way.
"Sure enough, he is a smart child. It's not tiring to talk to you."
Looking at the old man's smile, Lin Huazhi couldn't help sighing. She was forced, absolutely forced.
"Actually, it's not a big deal." The old man was happy for a while and finally talked about the business.
Lin Huazhi didn't answer, and she suffered a loss if she said one more word.
The old man put his brocade quilt and said slowly, "Do you know Cui Yuan? Do you know that he is about to become a weaving company? Do you know Cui Guifei? Do you know Jiangbei Sun's family?
The old man asked four questions in one breath, and the more Lin Huazhi listened, the deeper he frowned. Why did you mention Cui Yuan again? Subconsciously, Lin Huazhi has a bad feeling.
After meditating for a moment, Lin Huazhi replied, "I have met Cui Yuan several times. Although I am not familiar with him, I know something about him. Speaking of Cui Guifei, I don't know her, but... Cui should have something to do with Cui Yuan. If Cui Guifei is in front of her majesty, it is not surprising that Cui Yuan is in charge of weaving. As for the Sun family in Jiangbei, they only know that they are the richest in the north. I don't know why the old master asked about the Sun family?
The old man nodded approvingly: "As soon as you say it, you understand what I mean. It's good. Don't worry, let's talk about it slowly. Cui Guifei is Cui Yuan's cousin and a capable woman. In just five years, she climbed from a beautiful woman to the position of noble concubine, which shows that she also has the means. Cui Yuan's uncle gave birth to such a daughter, and Cui Yuan is also the current head of the family. Cui Guifei can sit in today's position, and Cui Yuan has made great contributions. Therefore, Cui Gui The closest member of the concubine now is Cui Yuan.
Lin Huazhi only knew Cui Yuan's ability at first, but he didn't expect that there was such a big mountain behind Cui Yuan. No wonder Cui Yuan could take up the position of weaving at such a young age. Sure enough, there were people in the court who were easy to be officials.
But...
Lin Huazhi carefully pecked the old master's words, and then asked tentatively, "Is there any small problem between the Cui family and the Zhang family in court?"
Mr. Zhang nodded, and Lin Huazhi couldn't help sighing in her heart. She really guessed that the Zhang family and the Cui family were obviously not a small problem. I'm afraid they were two hostile camps. Otherwise, by the old man's means, it was impossible to mention Cui Guifei for no reason.
So, that is to say, the old man doesn't want Cui Yuan to sit too comfortably in the position of the weaving company.
The old man looked at Lin Huazhi with a doting face and said with a smile, "Little Huazhi, did you think of something?"
Lin Huazhi thought of something, but she hasn't completely straightened it out yet. When it comes to Cui Yuan and Cui Guifei, she understands that she mentions the Jiangbei Sun family? Why did the old man mention the Sun family? Will it be related to Cui Yuan or Cui Guifei?
The old man did not urge Lin Huazhi. He leaned against the cushion behind him and half squinted as if he were not sleeping.
"Dare to ask the old master, what is the relationship between the Zhang family and the Sun family? Huazhi doesn't understand. Do I, a little girl, know too much? Lin Huazhi thought about it and couldn't figure it out. There was something very important in the middle that the old master hadn't mentioned yet.
"Little Huazhi, don't pretend to be stupid for my old man. What have you been doing in Jiangdong City these days?"
Lin Huazhi was stunned, could it be...
Suddenly, Lin Huazhi's face couldn't help changing. Thinking of Chunbai's unnaturalness when she first entered Zhang's house, she understood that she was sold by Chunbai.
Seeing that her face was wrong, the old man did not beat around the bush: "Little Huazhi, let's do business."
"Business? I don't understand."
In an instant, Lin Huazhi's mind was in a mess. The old man talked about it for such a long time. What on earth did he want her to do? Shouldn't what she did in Jiangdong City conflict with the Zhang family? Is it because Zhang Ziqing opened an antique shop for her? But it's not like that the old man will not deliberately let her come for such a trivial matter.
Speaking of her in Jiangdong City, Lin Huazhi gradually came up with a clue.
Looking up at the old man, Lin Huazhi frowned slightly and asked uncertainly, "Is the old man's so-called business related to the dyeing workshop?" Half of the business of the Sun family in Jiangbei is also related to weaving. The old man just said that the Sun family is probably for this.
The old man laughed and said, "Little flower branch, little flower branch, why are you so smart? Get married quickly. It will be fun to have you at home.
Lin Huazhi is helpless. Mr. Mr. Zhang is not confused. He hasn't made it clear yet. How can he mention whether to get married or not? It really made her angry.
With a slight sigh, Lin Huazhi said with no strength: "Master, for this, you can just explain the words. Do you want me to deal with Cui Yuan?"
"Little flower branch, have I ever said that you are very smart?" The old man smiled and winked at Lin Huazhi, which was very similar to Zhang Ziqing's naughty expression.
Kolin Huazhi only thinks of one thing. Can she hit someone?
This old fox is really disgusting.
