Mrs. Lin came into the palace dressed up today. Xiao Zhaomin also asked Lin Lang's opinion. What's her opinion about her father Lin Yuan.
Lin Lang thought for a while, but refused Xiao Zhaomin's suggestion for Lin Yuan's promotion. The Lin family itself is weak. Even if it is supported by Xiao Zhaomin, it is meaningless.
If a father wants to go further, he should rely on his own ability. Relying on his daughter is not a good way out. Even her brother will take the imperial examination seriously in the future. She won't open the back door to her brother.
Sitting down in the palace, Lin Lang poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Lin: "my mother looks in good spirits. How's everything at home recently?"
Mrs. Lin took Lin Lang's hand and said, "everything is fine at home. I just don't trust you. We didn't know until now. We didn't know how worried you were some time ago."
Lin Lang smiled: "no, your majesty, he protects me very much, and things outside have not affected me. How is dad? What about his younger brother? How is his knowledge? Has he made progress?"
Mrs. Lin smiled: "everything is good..."
When Xiao Zhaomin came down, he saw that Lin Lang was in a good mood and his smile was bright.
Xiao Zhaomin: "so happy?"
Lin Lang plucked the flowers in the vase: "well, my mother came just now and said something about what happened at home recently. She said that she didn't know how many gifts she gave home, and they were all returned by her father."
Thinking of Lin Yuan's face, Xiao Zhaomin said with a smile: "Lord Lin came from a clean family. You should look down on these."
Lin Lang: "well, my father is always cautious. Although his political ability is limited, he still knows how to protect himself."
Xiao Zhaomin: "hearing your evaluation, Lord Lin should be sad. Lord Lin still has some talents."
Lin Lang: "most of his talents focus on poetry and writing. Your majesty, you don't have to comfort me. He's doing well now. I don't want them to walk too fast. What they want should be obtained by their own ability."
Xiao Zhaomin pressed a note in his heart. He felt he had to give Lin Yuan an official. However, Lin Lang took the initiative to refuse, which undoubtedly made Xiao Zhaomin take a higher look. He was not fascinated by the prosperity in front of him and remained sober, which is commendable.
"Do you want to go out this afternoon?" Xiao Zhaomin looked out of the window and suddenly said.
Lin Lang looked at him and said, "where are you going? It's cold and snowy."
Xiao Zhaomin: "the palace has changed for more than a month now. You haven't seen Xiao Zhaowen and Du Miao. Do you want to see them?"
Lin Lang hesitated. She really wanted to see them.
Just looking at Lin Lang's expression, Xiao Zhaomin knew that Lin Lang was excited.
"Let's go. After we meet, we'll go to the Juxian building for dinner. It's a restaurant opened by an imperial chef in the palace."
Lin Lang: "OK, your majesty, you can arrange it."
Because they were patrolling in micro clothes, they took two maidens with them, and the rest were servants disguised as bodyguards. The carriage drove through the busy street and gradually went to the small courtyard where Xiao Zhaowen was banned.
In the small courtyard, Du Miao was washing clothes. She shivered while washing clothes, and tears fell one by one. Suddenly there was a scolding voice inside: "why not? Where's today's lunch?"
Du Miao shook off the drops of water on his hands, hurried into the kitchen and brought out two small plates. A bowl of porridge and two steamed buns.
Lin Lang opened the curtain of the carriage: "are they so down now?"
Xiao Zhaomin: "ordinary people live like this. Xiao Zhaowen is demoted as a common man, and all the money goes into the national treasury. The dowry brought by Du Miao is no exception. They really don't have any money."
Lin Lang: "where are the two concubines?"
Xiao Zhaomin: "nature is here too. Once Xiao Zhaowen falls down, where can they protect themselves?"
Listening to the quarrel from the yard, Lin Lang put down the curtain: "let's go. There's nothing to look at."
Xiao Zhaomin: "it's really nothing to see. In the future, they will look at each other for a long time, but they must stay together forever. Maybe this is the biggest torture for them."
Lin Lang didn't care: "seeing them like this, all my depression disappeared. Even if they are still alive, it is far more painful than dying."
Looking at the two people talking together, Jiang Chan faintly looked away and looked at their appearance now. She thought she would be able to go back in a short time.
But Zhou Yaozu was really a little strange. She had been staring at him for a long time. As a result, he was stunned and nothing happened.
But
Seeing the figure, Jiang Chan's eyes coagulated.
Xiao Zhaomin and Lin Lang, who were having dinner, saw a skinny man in front of them. After leaving the Zhou family, he kept walking around the path, and finally entered the Du family seven turns and eight turns.
Xiao Zhaomin put down the dishes and chopsticks: "this is the fake Zhou Yaozu? So he looks like this."
Jiang Chan: "well, this man has a lot of blood on his hands, but I don't know who he is."
Lin Lang: "now that he has entered the Du family, Du Xiang must know. Maybe Du Xiang operated the reason why he could become an official in the DPRK?"
They guessed here that the man stayed for more than an hour after entering Du's house. At that time, Lin Lang and Xiao Zhaomin had returned to the palace. One of them looked at the memorial and the other stared at Zhou Yaozu.
What Zhou Yaozu and Du Xiang said, Lin Lang looked at it clearly.
Just at this time, Xiao Zhaomin's Memorial and correction came to an end. Lin Lang repeated the plot of Zhou Yaozu and Du Xiang. Xiao Zhaomin nodded: "I know. Don't touch them for the time being. I'll bring Zhou Yaozu's family to the capital."
Lin Lang understood what he meant. If he really revealed it, Zhou Yaozu's parents must come forward to identify him. This is undoubtedly a great blow to the old couple. Lin Lang sighed at the thought of this.
"Unexpectedly, the Du family colluded with Xiliang. The hiding place is really deep."
Jiang Chan chuckled: "it's more than that. The Du family has been in contact with Xiliang over the years and has accumulated a lot of silver money. I wondered why I couldn't find it before. It turned out that it was hidden by old Du thieves in a place you can't think of."
Lin Lang: "so most of the gold and silver, even if you want to hide it, it's better to have a big place? He doesn't melt all the gold and silver to pave the floor?"
Jiang Chan snapped her fingers: "that's what old thief Du did. Look at this small courtyard. Isn't it very desolate? There's a lot of heaven and earth in it."
Jiang Chan's fingers moved, and a man in his twenties appeared in front of them.
"I've seen it. This man's name is Du Jing. He claims to be a slave of the Du family. In fact, he is the illegitimate son of old Du thief and the outer room. After the outer room died, Du Jing was connected to the Du house by old Du thief."
