Chapter 193 Why is he?
In the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Huazhi and his party finally arrived in Beijing. After stamping the road sign at the gate, the four people slowly moved into the city step by step with the team entering Beijing. As soon as she passed the gate, she saw Jinhou and Lin Yuyang standing under the announcement file, and there was another person standing beside them.
Lin Yuyang naturally came to pick her up. Jinhou came to pick up Zhang Ziqing and pick up Chunbai and Qingling. Who did Zhang Zi come to pick up?
"Huazhi, you can count it." Seeing her, Zhang Ziwei looked very happy and hurriedly greeted her.
With a slight frown, Lin Huazhi responded politely, "The second young master is well. Why... why are you here too?" It was definitely not an accident to meet Zhang Ziwei at the gate.
Zhang Ziwei first greeted Zhang Ziqing, turned his head and approached her, smiling, "I received your letter a few days ago, and the elders in the family were very concerned about my eldest brother, so they sent me to pick up people early this morning."
Hearing Zhang Zi's explanation, Lin Huazhi didn't say much. He took a look at Lin Yuyang, who had been silent. There was not much expression on his face, but Lin Huazhi still clearly felt that Lin Yuyang's calm expression was unhappy. Was it because of Zhang Zi?
This gate is really not a good place to talk. Lin Huazhi turned his head to Zhang Ziqing and said, "Since the second young master is here, you can go back to the house with Chunbai first. I'll find you later."
But Zhang Ziqing disagreed. He held the moon cake in one hand and Lin Huazhi in the other: "I want to be with you."
Lin Huazhi's words are stuffy. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. In addition, listening to Zhang Ziwei's words, Zhang's parents are waiting for Zhang Ziqing. Lin Huazhi did not dare to pull Zhang Ziqing to let him go and gave Chunbai a wink. Lin Huazhi whispered, "The old man will definitely miss you. Don't you also miss the old man very much? Go back to take care of him first, and I'll visit you and the old man next time.
Zhang Ziqing looked a little unhappy: "Didn't you say you would come to see me tomorrow? Why is it the next time again?"
Lin Huazhi is helpless. Obviously, what she said is "revision". Is there any difference between this and the next time?
Chunbai came forward to persuade Zhang Ziqing: "Oh, young master, if Huazhi doesn't come to see you, I will take you to see her, and I won't be willing to part with Qingling."
"So..."
Without waiting for Zhang Ziqing to finish speaking, Lin Huazhi interrupted him: "Okay, okay, you can go home first." After saying that, he turned his head again and said, "Second young master, I'm sorry to trouble you today. I'll visit you again after the holiday."
Zhang Ziwei nodded: "Huazhi, I have the same thoughts as my eldest brother. I hope to see you as soon as possible."
Lin Huazhi reluctantly squeezed a smile on her face. Can she pretend not to hear what Zhang Ziwei said?
Jinhou, who had not said anything, stretched out his hand to help Zhang Ziqing and whispered, "Young master, get in the car." The Zhang family's carriage, which was waiting for the side early, was caught up, and the little man raised the curtain and put down the footstool.
Zhang Ziqing stuffed the moon cake in his arms into Lin Huazhi's arms, and then reluctantly looked back. When Zhang Ziqing finally got into the carriage, Lin Huazhi took a long breath.
At this time, Lin Yuyang suddenly said, "Jinhou likes the young master very much."
Lin Huazhi was stunned and looked up. Qingling on the other side said, "Jinhou has liked the young master for a long time. Unfortunately..."
Seeing both of them turning their heads and looking at her, Lin Huazhi was silent. Qingling didn't have to guess what was behind her.
With a slight cough, Lin Huazhi looked around and asked, "Lin Yuyang, didn't you rent a carriage to pick me up?"
Lin Yuyang stared at her directly and said angrily, "If you dare to wrong others, you dare not wrong your young lady. Let's go. Our car is over there."
It is said that it is a carriage, but it is actually just a donkey cart. According to Lin Yuyang, it is not easy to rent a carriage in this city today, so he rented a cheap donkey cart. Lin Huazhi is helpless. Although the donkey cart is small, it is better than walking.
Lin Yuyang drove the donkey car to bring Lin Huazhi back to their courtyard in the capital. Before Lin Huazhi jumped out of the carriage, a person rushed out of the courtyard and rushed into Qingling's arms.
"Brother, you are here!"
Lin Huazhi couldn't help laughing: "Oh, does Qing Suo only see Qingling? I'm so sad."
Qing Suo turned his head and looked at Lin Huazhi with a smile, spitting out his tongue and pretended to be a grimace: "Sister Huazhi, I miss you too." Then when Qing Suo saw the moon cake in Lin Huazhi's arms, he immediately forgot Qingling and rushed over with his eyes, "Oh, sister, this puppy is so cute."
smiled and handed the moon cake in his arms to Qing Suo. Looking up, Lin Huazhi saw Lin and the wet nurse standing at the door. She couldn't help but feel relieved and softly shouted, "Mother, wet nurse, I'm here."
Lin has long strode forward with red eyes, hugged Lin Huazhi in his arms, and couldn't help saying, "It's good to come, it's good to come."
There were also tears in the wet nurse's eyes. Lin Huazhi leaned her head gently in Lin's arms, stretched out her hand and held it tightly.
After a short break, Lin Huazhi took the mooncake mold from her bag and pestered Lin to make delicious moon cakes for her.
Lin and her nurse joked that she had not grown up yet, but Lin still picked up the mold and went into the kitchen to make cakes.
Seeing the sky, the wet nurse asked her, "Huazhi, is there something wrong at home?"
Lin Huazhi didn't answer, but looked around the decorations in the room and asked, "Where's Xing'er?" Doesn't she know that I'm going to Beijing today?
The wet nurse looked at her and looked strange: "Aren't you sent to the Zhang family to serve the old master? Huazhi, to tell you the truth, is there really something wrong with your family?
Seeing that the wet nurse refused to let her go, Lin Huazhi had to say, "It's happened, but it's not me, it's Mingyue."
The wet nurse had heard about Mingyue from Xing'er. At this time, when she saw Lin Huazhi mention it again, the wet nurse couldn't help sighing: "The child of Mingyue is also really pitiful. Fanghua is just right. It's really... Alas, have you found the murderer?"
Lin Huazhi shook his head: "No, but I heard the news that the government seems to know who killed Mingyue. When I went to Beijing, not only the government, but also Yan Shaobai sent a lot of people to inquire about the news. Probably when we go back, we should be able to know the specific situation.
Hearing it, the wet nurse couldn't help but put her hands together: "Amitabha, it's really Buddha's blessing. Just find the murderer."
After all, Lin Huazhi didn't want to talk about Mingyue anymore and asked, "Where's Uncle Chen?"
"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I asked him to go back to his son."
Lin Huazhi nodded, reached out and put her hand in her palm, and whispered, "The wet nurse, if you think it's appropriate, you can do it with Uncle Chen at the end of the year. I have wronged you over the years."
After hearing this, the wet nurse didn't know what she thought of. She sighed quietly, raised her hand and stroked Lin Huazhi's hair. After a long time, she said, "It's all old women. What a mess. It's you, it's time to tell you the door.
Are you married? After two generations, Lin Huazhi dares not think about anything more. She was hurt too much in Yan Shaobai, and now she feels that she is not ready.
After a while, Lin Huazhi suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, "Nanny, have you heard my mother say that she had given the marriage certificate to the Zhang family before?"
The wet nurse was stunned and thought for a long time, then shook her head and said, "I haven't heard your mother mention it. Didn't you say before that your mother didn't give the marriage certificate to the Zhang family?"
Lin Huazhi sighed and told the wet nurse what Chunbai told her last time. After hearing this, the wet nurse opened her eyes wide and was shocked, "Oh, this is a big deal. If that's the case, that is to say, you still have a marriage contract with the Zhang family, which is really troublesome. Huazhi, have you figured it out?
Lin Huazhi shook her head: "I don't know whether it's true or not now. When Mrs. Wang came to the door, I clearly heard my mother say that she didn't give the marriage certificate to the Zhang family, but what Chunbai said is so true. I can't find a reason for Chunbai to cheat me. Now I'm the first two big."
The wet nurse quickly advised her: "Don't worry, you can ask your mother about this matter."
Lin Huazhi couldn't help waving his hand: "I dare not ask. Besides... Even if you want to ask, you can't ask today, can you?"
The wet nurse nodded: "Today is the festival. If you ask, whether it is or not, your mother must be uncomfortable. I think it's good. I'll ask about it for you. I'll talk to your mother sometime.
Lin Huazhi hummed and was about to open her mouth when she heard the voice of the green lock outside the courtyard: "Sister Huazhi, come quickly, Sister Xing'er is here."
Lin Huazhi rushed out of the door. As soon as the curtain was lifted, she saw Xinger standing in the courtyard well.
"Sister Huazhi." Xing'er greeted her and raised the brocade box in her arms. "This is what Master Zhang sent to you, and she said that I don't need to go back to serve her today."
Hearing that Xing'er could stay at night, Lin Huazhi was naturally happy. She took the brocade box, took Xing'er's hand, and asked her if Master Zhang was all well.
Xing'er nodded and answered, "In these days, the old man has been treated by Miss Jinhou. Most of his body is well, and he can go to the ground the day before yesterday, but he can only stand for a while and can't walk. However, the old man can now take a wheelb to bask in the sun outside the house, and his spirit is much better than before.
This is indeed good news. Mr. Zhang is in good physical well. No matter who he is, it is a good thing. At the same time, Lin Huazhi admired the tall and wise medical skills of the Marquis Jin. The imperial doctors in the palace said that the old man was seriously injured, but the Marquis Jin pulled the old master back from the ghost gate with his ability. Involutally, she remembered what she said to Chunbai last time.
Xing'er is about the same age as Qing Suo, and there are moon cakes in the middle. Without saying a few words, Qing Suo took Xing'er to play with the dog.
The wet nurse was also impatient. Seeing Lin Huazhi talking with Xing'er, the wet nurse got into the kitchen to make moon cakes with Lin Shi and casually asked Lin Huazhi about it.
Lin Huazhi wanted to find Lin Yuyang, but he met Qingling on the way. He had just come out of Lin Yuyang's study. Qingling told her that Lin Yuyang was reading at this time, and Lin Huazhi was embarrassed to disturb Lin Yuyang again. Qingling said that he was weak after driving these days. He was going to sleep for a while and leave Lin Huazhi alone.
Looking around, it seemed that Lin Huazhi was the only one at home to be idle. Lin Huazhi was bored, so she finally had to move a lounge chair aside and lay on it for a moment.
The sun was shining on his body. After a while, Lin Huazhi felt a trance in his mind, and his whole body fell into a dreamlike vision. Hidden someone touched her face. It was not heavy but itchy. Lin Huazhi turned over several times, and the numbness was still there. When she suddenly opened her eyes, Lin Huazhi saw a pink face shaking in front of her, and the smile on her face was more dazzling than the sun.
After recovering for a long time, Lin Huazhi said lazily, "Du Yinglian, why are you here?"
The person who flashed in front of Lin Huazhi was Du Yinglian. Seeing Lin Huazhi wake up, Du Yinglian straightened up with a smile, put her hands on her waist, and said with a smile, "Lin Huazhi, you don't come to see me even if you come to Beijing. You have no conscience."
Lin Huazhi felt that she was really wronged. She sat up straight from the lounge chair. Lin Huazhi shook her head and made her brain more sober. Then she said, "Miss Du, I just entered the city in the morning. I've been driving for more than ten days, and I'm almost exhausted. I haven't had time to see you. It's you, why are you here? Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
For some reason, Du Yinglian looked gloomy, sat down slowly, and then asked headless, "Lin Huazhi, how is my brother-in-law?"
Lin Huazhi couldn't help but be surprised to see that Du Yinglian seemed to have something on her mind. Hearing her ask about Yan Shaobai, she thought that Du Yinglian had not put down Yan Shaobai. Thinking of this, Lin Huazhi sighed, "Du Yinglian, Yan Shaobai is really not your good match. Cui Ting will be born in a few months. Why do you not forget Yan Shaobai so much?"
Du Yinglian stared at Lin Huazhi and raised her voice, "Who said that I will never forget my brother-in-law? I'm worried about him."
"Worried about him? What can Yan Shaobai worry you about?
Du Yinglian gave Lin Huazhi a big white eye: "Lin Huazhi, don't you know that Lord Cui has gone to Jiangdong City? Do you know who Lord Cui is? Do you know the relationship between Lord Cui and Cui Ting?
Du Yinglian asked Lin Huazhi three questions in one breath, but Lin Huazhi was shocked: "Du Yinglian, did you hear anything in Beijing?"
"Oh~~~~" Du Yinglian clapped her hands, "I said, how can you not know who Cui Yuan is..."
Lin Huazhi poohed Du Yinglian: "Well, I know that Cui Yuan and Cui Ting are brothers and sisters, and I also know that Cui Yuan is a big celebrity in front of your majesty at this time, but what does this have to do with your worry about Yan Shaobai?"
Du Yinglian remembered the important things and said quickly, "A few days ago, I overheard my father talking with a guest from Jinfeng Mansion. The guest said that the Cui family intended to occupy the dyeing business in Jiangdong City. In addition, during this time, I often heard the five girls mention Cui Yuan, who was about to become a weaving company. Job, when I think of the relationship between Cui Yuan and Cui Ting, plus what my guest said, I guess Cui Yuan went to Jiangdong City this time to rob my brother-in-law's business.
That's why Du Yinglian asked Lin Huazhi if there was anything wrong with Yan Shaobai.
Lin Huazhi frowned, and she couldn't figure out a few questions. First, with Du Yinglian's mind, it is really rare for her to think of these things; second, will the guest from the Jinfeng Mansion of the Du family be from the Chen clan? Third, Cui Yuan's intention to dye the business does not seem to be a momentary effort**, I'm afraid he has been planning for a long time.
I haven't seen Lin Huazhi speak for a long time, and I saw her look more and more solemn. Du Yinglian thought that something had happened to Yan Shaobai. She panicked and grabbed Lin Huazhi's hand and asked loudly, "Lin Huazhi, tell me the truth. Is there something wrong with my brother-in-law?"
Looking up at Du Yinglian, Lin Huazhi nodded: "Yes, if what you said is true, your brother-in-law really has a big deal."
Du Yinglian was stunned: "Then...my brother-in-law, he...he..."
Looking at Du Yinglian, Lin Huazhi said slowly, "Don't worry. Your brother-in-law had an accident, but it didn't hurt his life. It's just... When I went to Beijing, Lord Cui Yuancui was indeed in Jiangdong City. If what you said is true, then your brother-in-law should have happened."
Du Yinglian said angrily, "What do I mean is true? Do you doubt what I said?
"Why are you so sure that Cui Yuan is going to rob your brother-in-law's business? Cui Yuan and Cui Ting are brothers and sisters. There is no reason why Cui Yuan wants to occupy his sister's business. The married daughter splashed water. Didn't Cui Yuan always love Cui Ting? Can he still see that Cui Ting has no money in the future?
Du Yinglian pointed to Lin Huazhi angrily and scolded, "You are not in Beijing, so you don't know the truth. Cui Yuan was not on a whim. In the past few years, his Cui family has been studying new fabrics. In the middle of the year, there was news in the palace that the Cui family had paid tribute to a batch of fine fabrics, which was deeply loved by the queen. As soon as the queen was happy, she said a few good words from Cui Yuan to her majesty. Well, the new weaving department came out. Think about it, this large-scale production of fabrics must have a dyeing workshop. Cui Yuan is not a fool. My brother-in-law has the largest dyeing workshop in Jiangnan. Cui Yuan will definitely not let my brother-in-law go.
Lin Huazhi heard Du Yinglian's statement and couldn't help laughing: "Du Yinglian, you haven't seen you for months. You have become smarter. Not bad, very well said.
Du Yinglian blushed and squeaked for a long time, "Actually, these are not all my own thoughts. I have also heard what others say."
Lin Huazhi was curious: "Who else did you hear about this?"
"The second young master of the Zhang family."
Zhang Ziwei? The smile on Lin Huazhi's face suddenly disappeared.
Why is it him?
