The second master has been in the mansion for more than ten days, and he is really bored.

Before his legs recovered, he sneaked out of the mansion while the second wife was taking a nap.

The second master Lin Pingan has no other hobbies, but likes listening to music.

Back then, Qingge had a good voice, which caused Lin Pingan to visit him often, and the two gradually fell in love with each other because of this.

"Quyuan" is a place dedicated to dignitaries and dignitaries to listen to music.

Lin Pingan thought that he would go back later, and he didn't have the heart to go to the private room to listen slowly.

So he went straight to the lobby and sat down at a window seat.

Before he finished drinking a cup of tea, a man in a royal blue dress sat down opposite him.

The man smiled at the corner of his mouth, and looked at Lin Pingan with a pair of peach blossom eyes full of disdain.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Pingan looked at the man across from him with an ugly expression on his face.

"Last time, my little nephew missed it. I didn't know you were the second master of the Lin family. I'm really ashamed."

The person who came was Li Cheng, the son of the Minister of Rites, who was also the chief culprit for Lin Pingan's injury.

Although Li Cheng said so, there was no regret in his eyes.

"If you came to apologize, then go back wherever you came after you apologize," Lin Pingan said.

His face was dark, and it seemed that he didn't want to talk to Li Cheng.

Li Chengwen was not angry either, but chuckled lightly.

"Master Lin Er was joking."

The servant beside Li Chengming poured him a cup of tea, and said:
"It's said that those who don't know are innocent, and my nephew didn't intend to offend. Since he is innocent, how can he apologize?"

"On the other hand, it's unreasonable for Master Lin to rob a woman from a younger generation."

Li Cheng looked at Lin Ping'an and said with a smile.

"I think you're not here to apologize, but to find fault!" Lin Pingan said angrily.

Compared with Lin Ping'an, Li Cheng seemed much more relaxed, he drank his tea slowly.

After a while, he said: "Little nephew is just telling the truth, Master Lin, why are you so anxious."

"I've given you the money, and you've been beaten by someone, so why are you dissatisfied!" Lin Pingan said angrily.

"Second Master Lin, don't be angry. They say it's a misunderstanding. If I knew your identity earlier, I wouldn't argue with you."

Glib!Lin Pingan didn't believe a word of Li Cheng's words.

At that time, the servant in the mansion had already reported his family name, but now he said he didn't know his identity, what a lie!

"I just returned home yesterday, when my father heard about this, he reprimanded me and told me to return the silver to you." Li Chengdao.

As he spoke, he took out 1000 taels of silver bills and pushed them in front of Lin Ping'an.

"Pay the money with one hand, and hand over the person with the other hand. I will take the person away. You deserve the money." Lin Pingan said.

Then he pushed the banknote back to Li Cheng's hand.

"Second Master Lin, let's keep it." Li Cheng said with a smile, "After all, Second Master Lin needs it more now."

After speaking, he pushed back the silver ticket again.

"What do you mean by that?" Lin Pingan asked.

His fingers gripped the wall of the cup tightly, as if he wanted to crush the cup in his hand.

"Second Master Lin is at home now, so he is naturally short of money."

Li Chengdao: "Second Master Lin and I don't have to be so polite."

"nonsense!"

Lin Pingan couldn't take it anymore, and threw the cup in his hand to the ground.

The surroundings immediately became quiet, and everyone looked towards Lin Ping'an.

"My dear guest, what's wrong with the shop." The waiter hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

After all, he couldn't afford to offend any of the guests here.

But just in the middle of speaking, Li Cheng interrupted.

"Am I wrong? I heard that the 1000 taels was obtained from the old lady by Mr. Lin Er."

"I really didn't expect Second Master Lin to be so impoverished, so it's better for Second Master Lin to keep the money."

Li Cheng looked at Lin Ping'an with sarcasm in his eyes.

"you!"

What Li Cheng said was the truth, although Lin Pingan was angry, he couldn't refute it.

"There is an old saying that the nine sons of a dragon are all different, and now it seems that it is true. They are all Mrs. Lin's own sons. How can there be such a big gap."

"Master Lin, don't you think so?" Li Cheng said with a big smile.

After talking freely, Li Cheng didn't stay any longer, and left in a good mood.

Only the second master was left alone, bearing the eyes of everyone around him.

Lin Pingan knows that he is not as good as his elder brother, but he also hates others to compare him with his elder brother.

Now that he has no official position, a junior dares to point at his nose and scold him.

When did he suffer from this kind of uselessness? The more the second master thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he hated his elder brother Lin Pingkang.

If he hadn't betrayed the prime minister's mansion, how could he have ended up in this field!

Lin Pingan felt the disdain of the people around him, and their ironic eyes fell on him.

The hand holding the bank note kept tightening, and finally lifted the table angrily, and then left with a livid face.

At this time in Tinglan Garden, Bai Qing respectfully reported:

"According to the young lady's order, the maidservant released the news that there was a free porridge outside the city gate. For two consecutive days, a large number of refugees have flocked to the vicinity of the capital."

"The servant just got the news that the Prime Minister's Mansion has stopped giving porridge." Bai Qing said.

"Well done." Gu Yunxi praised.

"I thought Yao Yurou could last at least three days, but now it seems that I overestimated her."

"Miss, what does it have to do with us if the prime minister's mansion gives you porridge?"

Longan's eyes were full of puzzlement.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion is good at winning people's hearts, so I naturally want to help them."

"Nowadays, a large number of refugees come here full of hope, but in the end they are all in vain. What do you think will happen?"

Gu Yunxi patted Longan on the head and asked.

"Angry, angry." Longan said, covering her head.

"As the saying goes, ten good deeds are worth one bad deed. After this incident, the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion will plummet." Gu Yunxi said with a smile.

"Miss is so smart, even the servants can't think of it."

Longan looked at Gu Yunxi with admiration in her eyes.

"You." Longan said helplessly, "Miss wants to do more than that."

"Once the number of refugees in Kyoto increases, the first thing that is at stake is law and order. Powerful and wealthy families in Kyoto have guards in their mansions, and those refugees dare not offend."

"In the end, the only people who suffer are the powerless and powerless common people."

Hong Zao said: "In this way, the people will naturally feel dissatisfied with the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the position of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the hearts of the people will naturally be in jeopardy."

"But if that's the case, what should those people do?" Longan asked worriedly.

"With the imperial court here, what are you worrying about?" Gu Yunxi laughed.

"The imperial court is not a bag of wine and rice, so it can't be managed well." Gu Yunxi said, "It's just that the prime minister's house will take the blame."

"Bai Qing, you play by ear these few days, and you must push the Prime Minister's Mansion to the forefront." Gu Yunxi ordered.

"Yes." Bai Qing bowed and stepped back.

Gu Yunxi hugged the stove in her hand, feeling a rare comfort in her heart.
