Fuming

Chapter 116 Good Brother

The atmosphere in the flower hall is particularly depressing and dull. The table is full of delicacies, but they can't arouse Lin Zimo and Ji Xiaojuan's appetite at all. He didn't hide anything and told the truth. After hearing this, she did not continue to cry, but stopped crying. He knew that he would not make such a choice if there was any other way.

Ji Xiaojuan, who gradually became sensible, could see her master's helplessness. She did not make an exciting move or begged him to save her, but took the initiative to stand up and sit down with a smile on her face. Ji Xiaojuan also personally filled Lin Zimo and herself with wine, and then drank three cups in a row.

The two did not communicate much. They either picked up the wine cup and drank, or sat quietly looking at each other. The various dishes on the table are almost untouched. Lin Zimo and Ji Xiaojuan didn't finish this dinner until the early morning, and then they went back to their respective rooms. He didn't send anyone to monitor her, and he really hoped that she could escape.

Ji Xiaojuan knew the seriousness of the matter and had no intention of running away at all. She doesn't want to implicate the whole house because she is alone. After returning to the house, he did not light the candle, but chose to cry alone in the dark. She deliberately stopped herself from crying, but she didn't want to alarm others. The grief in my heart is like tearing my liver and lungs. Ji Xiaojuan is not afraid of death, but unwilling to leave Lin Zimo. For her, leaving the man she likes is a hundred times more difficult than death. However, she deeply knew that there was no choice between them.

Lin Zimo, who returned to the north room, sat in the middle of the armchair. Yang Mengqi, who didn't sleep, knew that he had encountered a lot of trouble when he saw his powerless and dying appearance. Without asking, she always started to do her usual things. Lin Zimo, who was in a bad mood, was still played by her casually like a puppet.

After finishing all the things as his wife, it was impossible for Yang Mengqi to hold his father-in-law to bed, so he sat quietly beside him and accompanied him all the time. Throughout the night, she didn't move much except to get up in exchange for a candle that was about to burn out. The sky is gradually brightening, and there is no need to go to Lin Zimo. Finally, he figured out that since nothing can be done, there is no need to do anything. Even if he is reluctant to give up Ji Xiaojuan, he will not lose dozens or hundreds of lives for her. I am not the Wu Sangui who fabricated the crown and became an angry beauty in later generations.

Lin Zimo, who stood up, obviously felt that his limbs were a little stiff after sitting all night, so he moved well. When he saw that his wife also sat with him all night, he felt very sorry. Although he did not talk to Yang Mengqi, his divine eyes and facial expressions showed concern for her.

Yang Mengqi was very happy to see that he had some recovery. She didn't feel tired and personally made breakfast for him. Lin Zimo, who ate two bites at will, changed into clean clothes and went to Ji Xiaojuan's room. He still wants to take her on the last journey. After crying all night, her eyes were red and swollen, and she felt ashamed to see him.

It feels like there is still some time for Lin Zimo to call a group of little maids to dress up and dress her up. In his opinion, even if he wants to die, he must die decently. Ji Xiaojuan, who understood his intention, cleaned up and dressed up with a smile. With a radiant face, she gave all the things she couldn't take away to the little maids.

Under Lin Zimo's repeatedly urging, Ji Xiaojuan just took away a few portable clothes and some soft clothes. As for the plain silver hairpin on her head, it has always been her favorite thing. Although this silver hairpin is not worth much, it is of great significance. One day, when Lin Zimo went out alone with her, she noticed that Ji Xiaojuan liked it and bought a gift for her.

Half an hour later, five brocade guards arrived as scheduled. They took Lin Zimo's benefits and did not intend to embarrass Ji Xiaojuan. Lin Zimo knew that she could ride a horse, so he prepared a good horse for her. After he personally helped her get on the horse, he turned over his horse and left with the five brocade guards.

Lin Zimo did not symbolicly send Ji Xiaojuan out of Guiping City and returned, but sent her out of Xunzhou Prefecture in person until he could not see her back. The relationship between the two is no longer important, whether it is a master or a servant. He knew that she was good to himself, and what he did was a farewell to his good friends.

Lin Zimo, who sat on horseback, knew that life had to continue, and his official had to continue. As for Qingyang Mansion in Shaanxi, he did not expect that this place would be a good place. Before your family leave, in addition to a lot of trivial matters to deal with, you have to wait for your successor to take over.

Today's Xunzhou Prefecture is no longer a Xunzhou Prefecture that has been harmed by rebels, mountain thieves, bullies, etc., but a state capital that can be regarded as peace. This one really lacked and immediately attracted competition from several forces, making the provincial government lively again. However, Lin Zimo didn't care about a certain faction sitting in this position. After all, he was transferred from a remote place in the south to another remote place in the northwest.

Lin Zimo, who made excellent political achievements, was not promoted and transferred to a good place, but was relegated to one level to continue to stay in a broken place without changing medicine. In addition to his mixed feelings, he suddenly had a sense of sinister officialdom. In this regard, I can't accept my fate. After all, the imperial edict has been issued. On second thought, he felt that it was okay, but he was worried that Chu Hanlu and others would be reluctant. This time, he not only left his hometown, but also continued to take up the post of governor in a bad place.

Three days later, the news that Lin Zimo was transferred spread. In Xunzhou Prefecture, some people are happy, while others are worried. Xu Zhiyuan, who received the news at the first time, visited him in person and concluded that he had offended the figures in the court because he turned over the case for himself, otherwise he would not have been like this. Extremely guilty, he naturally wants to visit Lin Zimo.

Is it in a hurry or Zhao Wenxuan a step late? Lin Zimo did not feel any surprise about the arrival of the two of them. After all, the friendship between the three of them was not pure interests. Sitting on the main seat of the flower hall, he asked the little maids to serve tea for the two of them first.

Lin Zimo tasted a few sips of tea and said with self-deprecating, "Wen Xuan, I have tired you again this time for my brother. Not only do I want to go to Qingyang Prefecture, Shaanxi Province, but you also need to follow me. This journey from south to north is enough for us to walk.

Zhao Wenxuan, who was deeply concerned about his brother's joke, smiled completely and said, "I'm afraid that I won't go with my brother!" I really want to come. I haven't been there yet. I can see the world.

Xu Zhiyuan, who was holding tea in his hand, did not have the bitterness of the two of them. He said bluntly, "Brother Lin, Brother Zhao, in my opinion, the main reason why you were transferred to Qingyang Prefecture, Shaanxi Province is that there is no one in the court."

Zhao Wenxuan, who had a sip of tea, slowly put the tea in his hand on the coffee table and smiled, "Your words, my brother and I are not unaware, but we are unable to change. If the really important characters in the court are willing to speak for our two brothers, this time we will not be transferred to Qingyang Mansion in Shaanxi Province, but to a good place in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Xu Zhiyuan, who made up his mind before he came, put down the tea in his hand, suddenly stood up and said, "On that day, when I was still in prison, I didn't think that I would have a chance to come out alive, and my life was saved by Brother Zimo. He not only saved my life and helped me get my property back, but also helped me kill my enemy. I really can't repay this great kindness. If the two brothers don't mind, I would like to sell all the furniture here and go to Beijing to make friends with the powerful for you, which will help you achieve a great career.

Zhao Wenxuan, who looked a little excited, then stood up, walked to him, held his hands and said, "Good brother."

Lin Zimo, who shook his head, did not stand up, but motioned the two of them to sit down first and objectively analyzed, "Zhyuan's idea is good, but some of the powerful people in Beijing should be particularly big, and none of you can satisfy them. Instead of throwing it in endlessly and without results, it's better for you to get familiar with the situation before making plans.

"Brother Zimo's words are reasonable." Xu Zhiyuan, who listened carefully, said realistically, "I'm not afraid of the two of you laughing when you say it. Although I have the reputation of being a scholar, I like to do business very much. At present, it has not been eroded once. As for Beijing, I have been there several times with my father, and I also have a basic understanding. Roughly know what is good to sell and what is in short supply in Beijing. Two brothers, don't worry, I will definitely open up the situation for you.

Lin Zimo, who was not in a hurry to answer, was playing with the tea cup in his hand, and it was naturally good to think of a credible person to stay in Beijing. He and Zhao Wenxuan have to go on the road of officialdom. They don't expect the help of the powerful, but also have to keep them neutral. He is still worried about Xu Zhiyuan's going alone. The fundamental node he is worried about is not silver, but whether Xu Zhiyuan has the ability to walk among the powerful.

Seeing his brother-in-law Zhao Wenxuan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, he urged, "I think this is a good thing. Brother, just promise to come down!"

Xu Zhiyuan was determined to advance and retreat with the two of them: "Whether Brother Zimo agrees to my request or not, it will not change my original intention. Since the silver is mine, I would like to spend it on this thing. Even if I end up with nothing, I'm willing.
