Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 278 Father Lin's Gift (1 more)
After Wen Wan returned to her room, she briefly told Song Wei about Lin Xiaoyue's situation, and then asked him, "When will Prime Minister Su enter the court?"

Song Wei counted the days and said, "The beginning of spring is almost here."

Wen Wan's heart tightened, "Once the official returns to his original position, won't he have to find ways to deal with Mr. Xianggong again?"

Song Wei said: "Anyway, it's the uncle of the country. In order to take the overall situation into consideration, the emperor can't really let him step down. It's just that with that case first, even if he returns to his post, the emperor will have some excuses not to reuse him."

Song Wei's words were not fabricated out of thin air, but he found them by groping around Emperor Guangxi during these days.

Emperor Guangxi gritted his teeth with hatred for this brother-in-law, but the queen was still around, so it was impossible to uproot the power of the Su family in a short while, so he had to plan it slowly.

It is not impossible to demote Su Xiang because of the coal mine case, but there will be more troubles in the future.

It's better to let other officials return to their original posts, and clearly reuse them, but in fact evade power. It's much safer than demoting them out of the sight of surveillance and forcing the other party to try their best to use insidious tricks.

After a moment of silence, Song Wei continued: "As for me, the soldiers came to cover us with water and soil, so it's not just once or twice that he tricked me."

……

She was at Song's house, and Lin Xiaoyue didn't forget to ask the secret guard to go out to inquire about the news of her house. The next day, the secret guard brought back the news, saying that the main courtyard was severely burned, and not many of the items in it were taken out intact. She asked Lin Xiaoyue It's not that something fell into it.

Lin Xiaoyue thought about it carefully, and it seemed that apart from Ah Nuan, there was nothing she had to do, so she shook her head.

After the hidden guard retreated, Jin Zhi came in and asked in a low voice, "Does Grandma Seven want to buy something?"

She saw that the Song family was really simple, and the conditions were far inferior to her own, and she was afraid that the master would not be used to it.

Lin Xiaoyue said no.

Jin Zhi said again: "If grandma is worried about money, I have saved some money from my own house, and it is all in the bank, so I can take it out for emergency."

Lin Xiaoyue still shook her head.

Now she is in someone else's house, and she feels sorry for using the master's money to add things, and using her own money to buy things is slapping the master's face.

Nothing is right.

"It would be nice to have a temporary place to settle down. As for the rest, I didn't think too much about it." Lin Xiaoyue said.

It's okay for her to suffer a little bit, as long as her daughter can do well.

What's more, today is different from the past, the yard was burned, and the loss is not small, and it is the time when the money is short, so naturally we can't be extravagant.

……

When Su Xiang learned that Lin Xiaoyue had hid in Song's house, he was so angry that his head hurt.

The grandma was afraid that he would get angry, so she hurriedly explained, "After the water came out, I arranged for someone to go there as soon as possible. Whoever thought it was, let her run away first."

Su Xiang hated people who couldn't get things done and made excuses to cover up afterward. He slapped Grandma and asked her to find a way to force Lin Xiaoyue out of the Song family. That fire burned in vain.

Grandma has a headache.

It would be fine if Lin Xiaoyue hid in the inn, she could find a way to get the other party to the Prime Minister's residence.

But Lin Xiaoyue hid in Song's house, which was a bit difficult.

Song Wei went to the emperor every now and then. If the people in the prime minister's mansion had any confrontation with him, he would tell Emperor Guangxi at that time, should the prime minister be reinstated?
Seeing Grandma Su hesitated, Su Xiang snorted coldly, "If you can't force her directly, you won't let something happen to Jeju?"

Grandma was shocked, "Sure enough, Master Xiang is wise."

Su Xiang had a sullen face, what the hell did he marry?

……

Su Xiang planned to cause some trouble for Jeju by forcing Lin Xiaoyue out of the Song family to obediently serve him as a hostage, but before the person who arranged them actually took action, Father Lin had already taken the initiative to go to Beijing.

Father Lin came here counting on the granddaughter's full moon day, but the road was blocked by heavy snow and the mountains were delayed for a long time, and the full moon banquet had already passed in the capital.

He is a businessman, and most of the time he is not as polite as people in the officialdom, but when it is time to talk about rules, he will still talk about them.

For example, when he first entered Beijing, he immediately went to meet the rumored and famous Prime Minister Su.

Even though he was an elder, Father Lin still politely brought a gift.

The moment Su Xiang saw the gift, he directly pulled down his face, it was a bit too dark - what Father Lin gave was a gilt inlaid Pixiu.

The golden color is in line with the temperament of the rich man of the Lin family.

With a smile on his face, Father Lin said that it was a special order to give to Xiangye's town house to exorcise evil spirits.

Pixiu is an auspicious animal recorded in ancient books, with a ferocious appearance. It is said that it has the magical effect of good luck and evil spirits, and the magical effect of town house and Tai Sui.

However, the premise of all this is that Pixiu must first be enlightened.

Guang Su didn't know if the current one had been opened or not, but he didn't want it.

As for the reason-

Regarding Pixiu, there is another folk saying that it protects the owner and hates evil like hatred, so the premise for it to seek good luck and avoid evil is that the owner is kind-hearted.

If the owner harbors evil intentions, not only will he not be protected by Pixiu, but he will even be hurt by it.

There are hundreds of people in the Su family, and they can't find a few kind-hearted people. Once this thing enters the house, wouldn't a lot of their family die?

The more Su Xiang looked at the Pixiu, the more ugly his face became.

On the side, Father Lin was still smiling, "Looking at the reaction of Xiangye, I think he is very satisfied with the gift. If you like it, I will ask someone to get a bigger one next time."

With that tone, I just had to tell Master Xiang: As long as you like it, our family is not short of money anyway, so we can afford it!
Su Xiang cursed inwardly: A country bastard with no culture and knowledge!

Someone else's Pixiu was a small one for wearing, but he was lucky enough to get a big one directly.

Before Prime Minister Su could speak, Father Lin directly ordered his servant, "Give the things to Mr. Xiang to move in."

"Wait!" Su Xiang said in a cold voice.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiang. I have already invited the eminent monks of Fahua Temple to consecrate it. It is absolutely auspicious."

Su Xiang didn't show any face, "The Su family has no shortage of your crap!"

Father Lin continued to smile, "I heard that something happened to your house. The Prime Minister was suspended and fined. Our family recently dug a new road and we are short of someone to take over. If the Prime Minister thinks there are too many people under his command, you might as well call some past?"

This is clearly sending money to your door.

Su Xiang: "Come here, invite Pixiu in!"

Father Lin: "..."

Ordinarily, the Su family is such a big family that they are not short of money.

But the fact is, lack of money, their family is really short of money.

After Wu Ye put his feet into the coffin, none of the top officials in the Su family were transferred out.

If you don't get transferred, you can't enjoy the "filial piety" of local officials, and you can only count on the salary of working in Beijing for your annual income.

The official salaries of officials in the Great Chu Dynasty were generally low. If a large family like the Su family relied on their salaries for meals, at least half of them would starve to death.

So there are quite a few Zhuangzi shops under the name of the Su family, but the shops have been sluggish in the past two years, and their profits have dropped sharply.

Su Xiang was fined for three years of salary, and the other masters were not much better. During the year of suspension, they stayed at home for a year, and they were basically desperate.

Now the Su family is short of money.

Since someone took the initiative to send money to the door, it was just a Pixiu, so he just accepted it for the time being, and when Lin Tudan left, he immediately got it out and exchanged it for money.

When Paixiu moved in, Father Lin had almost finished his courtesy, and went straight to the topic, asking why there was no daughter in Zhuangyuan's mansion.

Su Xiang couldn't say that he didn't know about it, so he told Father Lin that the Zhuangyuan's mansion was flooded a few days ago, Lin Xiaoyue went out to seek refuge, and she hasn't returned yet, and they are also looking for it.

……

After Father Lin left, Grandma asked Su Xiang: "Didn't Xiangye say last time that he wanted to add fire to the Lin family to force the seventh daughter-in-law to come out, why did you let him go?"

Su Xiang wanted to tie Lin Tudan directly, but when he saw the Pixiu, he felt guilty.

Before Lin Tudan left Beijing, it was not easy for him to move Pixiu, so he just said with a sullen face: "The truth has its own plans."

The grandma asked suspiciously: "Could it be that Mr. Xiang has established a business with their family?"

Otherwise, how long will it take for someone who gnashed his teeth a few days ago to make the Lin family uneasy, change his face?
Su Xiang didn't bother to talk to her, so he just walked away.

-

Father Lin went to Zhuangyuan's mansion, but instead of Lin Xiaoyue, he saw Lin Xiaorou.

Looking at this concubine who didn't worry about the safety of her first sister at all, Father Lin's face turned dark, "Where's your sister?"

Lin Xiaorou had just woken up from a nap, and her face was still full of sleepiness. Hearing this, she couldn't help but yawned, "Go out to take refuge."

"Then why are you still at their house?"

Lin Xiaorou was agitated for a moment, and blurted out, "I really want to leave, but Su..."

Halfway through speaking, he realized that he quickly shut his mouth, didn't dare to look at Father Lin, lowered his head and said in a weak voice: "Eldest sister has gone out, and the seventh master is not here, there must be a master watching over this house, otherwise the yard will be repaired." What should I do if my servant is lazy and slippery?"

Father Lin didn't have time to talk to her about this, "Do you know where your eldest sister has gone?"

Lin Xiaorou thought for a while, then shook her head.

Father Lin asked several servants one after another, but none of them knew where Lin Xiaoyue had gone.

Father Lin's heart was broken, and he said to the two young men: "If you can't find it anymore, go and pay me a lot of money to find someone."

He didn't believe that people could still have trouble with money these days!
