Ajiu

Chapter 67 Cold
Jin Yuanwailang is good at flattering and flattering, and he always thinks too much.He thought of many, many things from Pei Erye receiving the reward, for example, the emperor already knew the truth about the Ping'an Temple, he knew that there was someone plotting behind it, and he knew that the person behind the plot was himself...

The minister and his wife and concubines were playing cards at home, and one card was missing. Finally, Emperor Taizu took out this card with a smile. Thinking of this widely circulated story, Jin Yuanwairo's eyes straightened and his scalp went numb.

If he continued to think like this, he would scare himself to death if he didn't say anything.

Jin Changli ordered someone to call his daughter Jin home, "Your kid, didn't you go with Editor Pei of the Imperial Academy when you came to the capital? After that, did you have any contact with the Pei family?" Jin Shi frowned, "Msanggong has sent thank you gifts twice, but the Pei family returned them intact, and the airs are too big. Since the Pei family is like this, we can't use hot faces to put cold buttocks, so we haven't been in touch anymore." .”

Jin Changli's face sank, and he reprimanded: "It's useless if you don't have the slightest foresight, and you can't bear a little anger!" It’s just a shame to come to the door again.”

"That's right." Jin Changli nodded in satisfaction.

The Jin family was born in an outhouse, and since she was a child, she knew that her position was not secure, and she knew how to look at Jin Changli's face the most, and would please him.Acting as a good boy and being coquettish, Mrs. Jin begged a 200 tael bank note from him, and left with a smile.

"The Pei family is poor, so they don't need a gift of 200 taels of silver." Jin laughed in her heart at her father's ignorance, so she wasted money, and ordered someone to buy two fruit boxes and two boxes of snacks at random on the way. Take it to Pei's house tomorrow.

She asked for 200 taels from Jin Changli, but these two fruit boxes and two boxes of snacks didn't even cost a tael of silver.

When the Jin family returned home, Lin Mingtang, his adopted son, came to greet him respectfully.Lin Mingtang was born with a delicate personality and a gentle temperament, but the Jin family wasn't too mean to him, so he smiled and told him, "Tomorrow there is an important matter, please take a day off from school, and go out with me to meet guests." Lin Mingtang didn't ask for it either. Wherever he went, he didn't ask what was the important matter, and without thinking about it, he respectfully agreed, "Yes, mother."

Seeing that he was so obedient, Jin's eyes smiled.

Lin Mingtang's father was beaten and supported by his father-in-law, and now he is also a head of the Ministry of Rites, a sixth-rank Beijing official.His official career depends on the Yue family, and the Jin family is shrewd and doesn't let others, so he has no temper when he returns home. The Jin family told him that he would take Lin Mingtang to visit the Pei family. He smiled gently, "Second Master Pei Qinggui Hanlin, I I wanted to make friends a long time ago, but I just couldn't do it. My wife is willing to take care of it for me, and I am grateful." Hearing this, Jin couldn't help laughing.

Who went to make friends with Qinggui Hanlin for you?My father gave me an errand.

The next day, Mrs. Jin sent Master Lin away and ordered someone to go to school to ask for leave for Lin Mingtang, put him in the car, took the fruit box and snacks he bought yesterday, and drove to Yinding Bridge.When I arrived at Yinding Bridge, I saw the beautiful scenery here, the water in the lake was shimmering, and the weeping willows on the bank were lingering, I was quite envious.Isn't the Pei family very poor, but they can live in such a rich and elegant place.

When they arrived at the West Garden, Jin handed over the greeting card, thinking that with the power of her father Jin Yuanwailang, the Second Mistress of the Pei family would come out with a smile on her face and warmly entertain her.Unexpectedly, after sitting on the cold bench in the concierge for a long time, a famous and well-dressed nanny came out slowly, blessed her gracefully, and said with a smile: "Hello, Mrs. Lin, I don't know if you are coming today. My wife is out, don't you?" at home."

It was only then that Jin remembered that she hadn't come to send a post in advance, so it was extremely rude to come to the door rashly.She blushed, and she didn't want to make an apology, and she didn't want to just leave in such a dismal manner, sitting upright, motionless.

Lin Mingtang stood obediently beside her, feeling extremely uncomfortable.Ever since he arrived in the capital, he has been relying on his step-mother to live a difficult life.Of course his father, Mr. Lin, loves him, but Mr. Lin is still afraid of the Jin family and the Jin family. How can he stand up straight?One has to be cautious, watching Jin's face to get by.Jin received a cold reception at Pei's house, Lin Youhui refused to even see her, Lin Mingtang felt very embarrassed.

"At that time, my mother went to give presents sincerely, but she refused to accept them; now, my stepmother came to visit, but she refused to see them." Lin Mingtang recalled the matter of his biological mother Wu's gift to Pei's family, and then looked at the present day. The fact that Mu Jin's visit was rejected was both low self-esteem and anger.

Just when the Jin family was at a loss what to do, the sound of horseshoes sounded in front of the gate of the West Garden.The sound was neat and majestic, not one horse and two horses, but a whole team of cavalry.When Jin saw the face of Pei's mother changed, and the servants in the gatehouse stood up nervously, she also panicked.

A Jinyiwei leader in a flying fish uniform led the soldiers in, "Who is this?" The Jinyiwei leader pointed at Jin and asked with a sullen face.

Hearing that they were visiting guests, the leader waved his hand impatiently, "Go!" This group of guards in royal armor were clearly armored and wore waist knives. They opened their mouths to push people away, supported the maid tremblingly, and came out as if to escape.

Lin Mingtang followed her, left the West Garden, and looked back melancholy.Is this family going to be unlucky?In fact, his family is pretty good, although he is a bit arrogant, although he is not very merciful, but his family is full of good people.

Lin Mingtang always felt embarrassed and inferior in the Pei family, but his biological mother Wu was very grateful to Prefect Pei. Although he disagreed, he knew that the Pei family were good people.

Jin fled to the carriage and ordered the driver, "Hurry up, hurry up, get out of here!" What kind of people are they?Jin Yiwei, they are all like the king of Hades, they cannot be provoked.

The Jin family is very proud of the power of her father, Jin Yuanwailang, the Ministry of Officials, who is in charge of the evaluation of officials all over the world, who dares to disrespect?However, no matter how conceited she is, she also knows that Jin Yiwei is not to be provoked. In front of Jin Yiwei, Jin Yuanwailang is not a fart.

Leaving Yinding Bridge far away, the Jin family was shocked and gloated, "This Pei family is over. Jin Yiwei has come to the door, and the men in his family will definitely be locked in prison. What about the female relatives? There is no way to go to heaven. Nowhere."

The Jin family came to the door boldly, but Lin Youhui didn't see her, she felt deeply ashamed.Seeing Pei's family surrounded by brocade guards now, even though she didn't fulfill her father's errand, she was still happy, "I want to see Second Grandma Pei this time, and I'm going to the Yinding Bridge; next time I want to see her, I don't know where It's gone." Jin Shi giggled, looking pretty.

Lin Mingtang's heart trembled when he heard it, his face turned pale.

In the West Garden, the Tenth Prince was wearing a sable cloak of stone green silk tapestry, and walked towards the cold wind, with a faint smile on his face, "Junior Junior Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have grown a lot taller."

Ajiu used to kowtow melon seeds and read idle books around the stove, but now she was brought out to greet him, of course she was not in a good mood, "Both each other, brother ten, you seem to have grown up a lot." Ajiu smirked. Do not laugh.

She was originally small, but now she was brought out suddenly, wearing a peach red flowered jacket and a red feather gauze white fox and crane cloak outside, she looked like a little adult, very interesting.She was not very happy, bullying Saixue didn't have a sweet smile on her face, which was very different from the past.

"Junior Junior Sister, Brother Ten feels very cold." The Tenth Prince squatted down in front of her, feeling the coldness of winter.

"Since you know it's cold, why don't you stay at home around the stove to keep warm, instead go out and blow the cold wind?" Ajiu asked crisply.

Seeing her staring with big, round eyes, the tenth prince looked very angry and was a little puzzled, "Brother Ten came to see you on a special trip, aren't you happy? Junior sister, you are wrong, 'A friend came from afar, no Is it fun'?"

"Be hospitable, Junior Sister." The tenth prince said persuasively.

Ajiu puffed her cheeks angrily, and ignored him.

"Brother Ten is here to deliver invitations." The Tenth Prince smiled slightly, took out a bronzing invitation card and handed it over, "Junior Junior Sister, like my mother, I was born in winter."

Are you celebrating your birthday?Is this for a birthday present?Ajiu took the invitation and thought with a guilty conscience.
