[Rebirth] The wind enters the forest

Chapter 25

The second prince held a thin piece of paper in his hand. It was not an ordinary piece of paper. It might be sold in high-end shops in the alley. The paper is delicate, the foundation is burnt with golden flowers, and it has some fragrance, which is often used by empresses in the palace.

A person dressed as a guard knelt down, the second prince slightly raised his eyelids, and asked him with a smile in his tone: "What did she tell you?"

The man replied: "Your Majesty doesn't want to be able to come out now, she's just dying, but those who caused her to come here can't just let it go, they will become enemies with His Highness, why don't you help His Highness this time, That's helping her."

"Your Majesty?" The second prince sneered, "The Empress really thinks of herself as someone else." He raised his hand at that person: "I see, you can go down."

The guard made a salute and went out backwards. The second prince threw the huanhua paper into the brazier with a sullen face, and the tongue of fire licked it all at once. He vaguely saw the word "Wei" written on it, and the word "Lin" circled beside it. .

There are still two days before the Chinese New Year, and the emperor will go to court for the last time at the end of the year, which means he can have a good reputation for being diligent, and even brought the three princes here, saying that he wants the princes to experience it In government affairs, knowing the sufferings of the people, in fact, there is nothing serious about it, it is nothing more than a little chatter with the ministers.

The second prince listened for a while, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was eloquently praising the emperor's achievements. While praising, he did not forget to mention his loyalty and hard work by the way.The second prince thought about it for a while, Chai Qi, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is nearly fifty years old, but only has an only daughter, Chai Peijiao, who has been raised very preciously for many years, and now it is almost the age to marry, but Chai Qi is watching No son in the capital was satisfied, and he was reluctant to let his daughter marry and suffer, so this matter has been dragged on.

The second prince squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Excellency has worked hard all these years, and he is really a pillar of the country."

When Chai Qi heard what the second prince said, he was really unexpected, flattered and quickly waved his hands: "Don't dare, it's all a matter of the minister's duty, and he should devote himself to the country."

The emperor has been praised by him for a long time, and he also benefited from it in his heart. He said with a smile: "Focus on state affairs, and family affairs must not be neglected. Loyalty and filial piety are the best."

The second prince followed the emperor's words and said: "Father is right. I heard that Mr. Chai has a daughter. She is really a beautiful girl. Have you ever promised her? Now the family banquet is coming, and she should bring her into the house." The palace is lively and bustling, and there are quite a few young talents in our country, so we might meet a good marriage." He paused for a while, and slowly said in a slightly joking tone: "I see Mr. Lin is a good match. "

The second prince had a good plan in mind, no matter whether Lin Gantang agreed or not, he would definitely make Chai Qi unhappy.

Lin Gantang didn't sleep well last night, and now he was a little listless, and he was a little stunned when he heard that he was named inexplicably, and hurriedly said: "Second prince, don't make fun of me, Lin is busy all day, and the number of times he goes home It's so pitiful, where can I delay other girls?"

As expected, Chai Qi was not happy. He was thinking that Lin Gantang, who is so vicious, would be worthy of his flower-like daughter, but now he was annoyed when he was rejected. Good Lin Gantang, my daughter is not worthy of you. ?

The emperor twirled a few sparse beards on his chin and smiled: "It is indeed time for Mrs. Lin to get married. I think this marriage is not bad."

Lin Gantang was startled, subconsciously he was about to look at Wei Feng, Wei Feng came out and knelt down, and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty, forgive me, Mr. Lin is thin-skinned and refuses to say, he is not afraid of delaying other girls, obviously I have something in my heart that I can’t pretend to be anything else.”

The emperor became interested and leaned forward: "Oh? I don't know which family's lady it is."

Wei Feng raised his head and said loudly: "It's my cousin, Lou Yan."

Wei Feng's words were really ruthless, he not only pushed the third prince away, but also prevented the Japanese defender from pushing Lou Yan to himself.

The emperor fell silent for a while.For him, it is the best state for his subordinates to restrain each other. The important ministers must not stick together, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. He twisted the beads in his hand, and the smile on his face faded: "Your grandfather also I haven't been in the palace for a long time, so I'll ask him to come and see me sometime." Then he ordered the ministers: "I think you all have things to do when you return home, so I won't keep you here today."

The ministers bowed their heads to thank each other and dispersed.

Lin Gantang did not go with Wei Feng, he wanted to go back to the Lin Mansion, this was the etiquette of years ago, when he left the hall, he said goodbye to Wei Feng slightly.

Wei Feng slowly got on the sedan chair.The second prince acted much earlier than he expected. Now that there are internal and external troubles, although the queen has been restrained, she is not dead after all. Old Chen Wei is right. Calm down and think about it in a clean place, maybe she can think clearly, keeping it is always a disaster; Guifei He's attitude is not clear enough, although she is not very hostile to the prince, after all, there is the third prince behind her; He hasn't found a chance to get him out of the Lin family.Wei Feng leaned on the back of the chair with his eyes closed, it was not particularly difficult to get Lin Gantang out of the Lin family, the hard part was how to get out his mother's memorial tablet together, tsk, it was a headache.

Standing in front of Lin Fu, Lin Gantang felt faint pain in his temples just looking at the two words on the plaque, sighed inwardly, and raised his hand to knock on the door knocker.

The doorman opened the door carefully, looked out with one eye, saw Lin Gantang, was a little panicked, and showed half of his face: "Master, why are you here?"

Lin Gantang was a little surprised: "Can't I come?"

The doorman frowned and urged in a low voice: "Go back quickly, the master is losing his temper right now, and he will make you feel uncomfortable again soon." Before he finished speaking, a loud voice from inside asked sharply: " Why did you look at the door for so long? Who is it?"

Lin Gantang stretched out his hand and pushed the door open. Ignoring the doorman's constant begging, he stepped over the threshold and said in a deep voice, "It's me."

Lin Ke twitched the corner of his mouth, glanced at him with a half-smile, and said eccentrically, "Oh, brother is back."

Lin Gantang didn't want to stay any longer, so he hurried back after a formality, so as not to cause any complications, he nodded slightly and asked, "Where's father?"

Lin Ke curled his lips: "Daddy is angry, hey, I don't know who is so shameless, choking someone else's trachea and still getting in."

Lin Gantang didn't bother to pay attention to her, and went straight into the main hall, where Lin Laochen was drinking tea and talking with his aunt, when he saw Lin Gantang coming in, he immediately put on a straight face: "Little beast, do you still have the face to come back?"

The aunt hurriedly persuaded: "Master, don't be angry, Gan Tang is young, and he is not in a hurry to get married right now. After two years, when his temperament has settled down, he will find an ordinary and innocent daughter to be with him. Anyway, we will also be married." Don't ask for the rich and the rich."

Listen, listen, what are these words?Lin Gantang was in an important position, but he couldn't marry a woman of the same status. That also required a strong family background. What did it mean to ask him to marry an ordinary family?Besides, did the Lin family get few good things from Lin Gantang these years?The words "don't seek great wealth and great honor" really don't deserve to be slapped in the face.

Lin Laochen snorted coldly: "Is he still young? You just treated him too softly. How many people are the emperor asking for a marriage today and still can't ask for it? This bastard thing is pushed like this, it's not counted, it's not Said that he fell in love with the daughter of the Wei family. The Wei family? You are slapping your father and me in the face! The generals of the Wei family are just some rural stuff, and they are not good at all. What good things can they raise? How about you, just post it up, don't you think we are not enough to make people laugh?"

Lin Gantang lowered his head and did not speak. He was already indifferent to the Lin family. Ever since he got Wei Feng's guarantee, even the last trace of concern was gone. Now, he has not even given an explanation to these so-called relatives. .

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Laochen couldn't vent his anger, and almost poked his finger in his face: "If you keep your mouth shut all day, you won't be able to blow a dull fart with three sticks."

Lin Gantang still lowered his head, and waited until the old man got angry and sat down to drink tea, then said calmly: "Father, rest for a while, I will go to pay my respects to my mother."

Lin Laochen slightly raised his eyelids: "Isn't your mother sitting here? Where else are you going?"

The aunt stroked her temples and said with a smile: "Why are you being so cruel to the child? Sit down and talk properly, the family will be divided."

Lin Gantang clenched his fists and pursed his lips. He was both amused and sad in his heart. He didn't say anything, turned around and walked out. Old Lin stood up abruptly: "Unfilial son! Where are you going?"

Lin Gantang said without turning his head, "To worship my mother's memorial tablet, what did Auntie mean just now? Do you also want to make a memorial tablet and put it in the altar?"

The aunt gritted her teeth in anger, and she didn't want to get angry too much, but Lin Laochen threw his crutches on the ground: "It's the New Year's Eve! No bad luck!"

Lin Gantang's back stiffened, he swallowed the words that were on his lips, and walked out without saying a word.

Lin Laochen slapped the table with his palm: "Look at him! It's outrageous! It's been a waste of raising such a white-eyed wolf for so many years! I'm so mad!"

The aunt refilled the tea for him, helped him to sit down again, and gently pinched his shoulders: "After all, he is old enough to have his own ideas, and he doesn't listen to our words."

Lin Laochen sighed and took her hand: "I just wronged you."

The aunt lowered her eyes and smiled: "Didn't parents owe them in the past life? There is nothing to be wronged. Hey, I hope that Ke Er can marry a better one now, but Gan Tang is an older brother. pressing on the front..."

Lin Laochen nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't let Ke Er feel wronged."

The corner of the aunt's mouth turned up, and she frowned again, and said: "It's about to celebrate the New Year, and the emperor's family banquet in the future must be for all the ministers. At this time of great joy, Gan Tang can't always take care of the overall situation. You want to pick up these days to visit my sister, is it because I treated her badly back then?" As he spoke, his voice choked up.

Lin Gantang's mother was very popular when she married Lin Laochen, but she was indifferent and Lin Laochen didn't like her, so she fell in love with a servant girl within a few days, and she insisted on marrying her to be his concubine.This servant girl was quite polite to her main wife before, but later she became pregnant and began to domineeringly. Lin Gantang's mother was not in good health, and she was depressed all day long, and she accompanied Lin Gantang until she was six years old and gave birth to the sugar pear. , I couldn't think about it for a while, and finally fell ill. Before leaving, I asked Lin Gantang to kneel in front of the bed, and told him a few words, and then went.

Lin Laochen picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. When his aunt mentioned it, he felt even more dissatisfied with Lin Gantang, and smacked his lips: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run."

Lin Gantang knelt in front of his mother's memorial tablet. The table was empty, not even a stick of incense. He bowed down, resting his forehead on the cold ground, and slightly closed his eyes. Something slipped down the bridge of his nose and made a puddle on the ground. , and the dust looks dirty.

Lin Gantang straightened up, bowed down and kowtowed again.

It's another new year, mother.

I came to see you.

I don't want to go down the path you once said.

The Lin family is no longer my home, and he is no longer my father.

I am fine now, and the people I like are nice to me.

His name is Wei Feng, and I will bring him to see you in the future.

Also, I will definitely take you out of here.

The author has something to say: Aunt: Why do I not have a name?

Ai Jiu: Yes, we already have a Chai Peijiao, do you want to be called Yi Sui Bian?

Auntie: ... get lost, old lady
