Vol 2 Chapter 99: Xu Lingyin: Social Sinister


The thin-skinned Xu Erlang glanced at his elder brother and then at his father. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times.
In the embarrassing atmosphere that made the scalp numb, Xu Qi'an cleared his throat and said:
"It smells so good, I seem to smell sister Lingyue's cooking skills.
"Second uncle, stay drunk tonight."
The awkward atmosphere was broken, and the three men tacitly hid the bag of green tangerines by their sides, pretending to turn a blind eye.
During this process, Xu Qi'an glanced at Erlang, only to see that Xu Erlang's face remained unchanged, and he had already concealed his embarrassment.
In the past two years, Erlang has also grown a lot, thinking that he hanged himself in the old house when he was chanting poems. After being discovered by his family, he wanted to die on the spot..........Xu Qi'an felt emotional when he remembered that time.
Ye San entered the mansion and went straight to the inner hall.
The inner hall was brightly lit by candlelight, and there were a few ice skewers hanging under the eaves, and the aroma of food wafted from the open door.
Many servants in the inner courtyard come and go, adding a few charming maids.
In more than a month after he left Beijing, Xu Mansion bought many servants. .
"There are also many people in the capital that freeze to death. There is a shortage of people in the family. Your aunt asked the housekeeper to buy some people from the tooth, and somehow gave them a way to survive."
Xu Ershu said.
Xu Qi'an nodded. Although her aunt is careful and loves face, she thinks she is a little fairy, and she has a lot of problems. But a woman who is pampered, carefree, and doesn't need to be intriguing, can't be bad-hearted.
Lin'an is also an example. It has also lost the Yuanjing Emperor for many years, and the palace lacks the soil for intrigue. If you live in such an atmosphere for a long time, Lin'an may not be as innocent and kind as it is now.
"In the year of catastrophe, there is no other way." Xu Qi'an tilted his head, glanced at Xu New Year, and smiled:
"Why didn't Auntie buy a room for Jiro?"
"Haha" Xu Ershu smiled and said, "Erlang will be married to the first assistant daughter in two months. Your aunt dare not offend the first assistant daughter."
Xu Cijiu frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with the ridicule of his elder brother and father.
While talking, the three of them entered the inner hall, with charcoal basins in the corners for heating. The food on the table is plentiful, with all kinds of delicacies, delicacies, and seafood. This is obviously not the norm for Xu's dinner.
Aunt and Lingyue were sitting at the coffee table, while Xu Lingyin and Lina leaned over to the table, looking at the food eagerly.
"Lingyin, don't think about stealing food, wait for your elder brother to come back and eat."
Aunt warned.
"Oh~"
Xu Lingyin knelt on the stool, with her little hand resting on the edge of the table, reluctantly withdrew his gaze, looked out of the hall, and happened to see the father three returning.
"Big Brother!"
Xiaodouding gave a loud cry, jumped off the stool, pinned his hands on both sides of his waist, opened backwards, buried his head, and rushed over aggressively.
Xu Pingzhi and Xu Xinnian stepped back at the same time.
Xiaodouding crashed into Xu Qi'an's arms.
A lot of strength... He was taken aback and looked at his sister, but he hadn't seen him for a month, basically there was no change. Well, if he had to say it, his face became rounder.
Like a round red apple.
This shows that Xiaodouding's blood is very strong.
Based on the collision just now, Xu Qi'an estimated that her current strength was at the 9th-Rank Refining Realm.
"This is too scary. When I was her age, Zamabu was still shaking..." Xu Qi'an was shocked.
He touched Xu Lingyin's head and glanced at the three women in the hall.
Xu Lingyue has already seen her. Lina's skin is fairer. The one who has changed the most is her aunt. Her facial features are beautiful and delicate, and her skin is fair and supple. Just looking at this face, she doesn't seem to be a woman raising three children.
Is it the Zhu Yan Dan from Chu Caiwei? The effect is really good. If I had made a fortune in my last life, it was a pity that I could not go back... he thought with regret.
Aunt and Lingyue greeted him. The former swept over his nephew and confirmed that there were no missing arms or legs. They raised their chin slightly, and said with restraint:
"you're back!"
She suddenly twitched her nose and frowned her delicate eyebrows: "It's green orange again, so heavy?"
Second Uncle Xu hurriedly took out the green tangerine in his hand, and smiled unchanged face:
"Green orange can cure cough, I bought it for Lingyin. I also ate one on the way, so it smells good."
When Xu Lingyin heard Xu Lingyin, her face collapsed instantly.
Xu Ershu stared: "What are you stupid about? Get it quickly."
Xu Lingyin's two shallow brows frowned, and she hugged the bag of green oranges in his arms.
She looked at her father, and then at the green orange in her arms. She turned her stubby fingers inside. There were only four, and she felt that she was still fine.
The two shallow eyebrows stretched.
"Ahem!"
Xu Erlang cleared his throat, took out the butter paper bag hidden behind him, handed it to Xu Lingyin, and said:
"Second brother is also afraid of you coughing..."
Xu Lingyin was stunned, Xu Qi'an seemed to see a series of question marks above her head.
Xu Pingzhi and Xu Xinnian, who threw the hot potato to their children, sat down at the table happily.
Xu Lingyin looked like weeping.
Seeing this, Xu Qi'an couldn't bear it, so he said:
"Lingyin, brother came back this time and brought you a present."
Xiaodouding suddenly showed a sunny smile, like a cloud of snow, forgetting all the unhappy things, and said softly:
"Where is the gift, where is the gift, brother?"
Xu Qi'an immediately took out the green tangerine hidden behind him and placed it in Xiaodouding's arms.
Xu Lingyin-Harvest [Green Orange X3]
The poor little child was stunned. He never expected that his father, eldest, and second elder brother would treat him like this.
Xiaodouding suddenly cried out:
"I don't want to eat oranges, I don't want to eat oranges..."
Anyway, Xu Erlang, who had already thrown the pot out, said with a relaxed expression:
"Throw it away if you don't want to eat it."
Throw it away... Xiaodouding's "wow" is even more sad.
She was reluctant to throw... Xu Erlang caught a chopstick and winter bamboo shoots.
No matter how unpalatable it is, it will be eaten...Xu Ershu "sucked" drinking.
The second uncle and Erlang are really not humans. Pooh... Xu Qi'an picked up a chopsticks dish for her aunt and said, "Remember to let her brush her teeth well.
...........
After three rounds of wine, Xu Ershu took a mouthful of pork head meat, chewed and ate it slowly, then poured a glass of wine for his son, and said solemnly:
"Everyone is saying that you are offering advice to your majesty and calling for donations?"
Xu Xinnian said with a "um" and explained:
"Actually, the best way is to ransack the house, but Yongxing has just ascended the throne and his position is not strong yet. Therefore, he can only adopt a more gentle method.
"Originally, he did not agree with the call for donations, because any actions he took during his tenure would be magnified and over-interpreted by officials below.
"If you want to sit firmly in the dragon chair, it's best not to do anything, wait until the wings are plump, and then do drastically.
"Unfortunately, the sky does not fulfill everyone's wish."
Xu Pingzhi shook his head, stared at Erlang, and said:
"Father doesn't understand these things. But Dad heard a word from a colleague today."
After a pause, he said solemnly:
"Whoever asked Lao Tzu to pay, Lao Tzu cut his mother... Erlang, that person was talking to Dad.
"If this matter is not handled well, your future is ruined. Well, it is not enough to have Wang Shoufu as the backer, but it will take many years to be a cold bench."
Xu Xinnian's face was solemn: "I know."
Aunt Xu and Xu Lingyue seldom go out, there is no channel to inquire about the news, and they don't know what happened.
It's not easy to ask questions about officialdom. The mother and daughter looked at each other, frowning and eating, while listening with ears.
Xu Xinnian continued:
"Is this elder brother back? There is a elder brother here, what are you worried about, dad?"
The aunt and Xu Lingyue stretched their brows and ate their hearts out.
Xu Qi'an asked:
"What's the situation in the court now?"
Xu Xinnian spoke for a moment, then slowly said:
"The royal party dominates the family, and the Wei Dang is now headed by Liu Hong, the left capital Yushi who is in charge of the yamen. The other parties are still the same.
"In order to stabilize the situation, Lord Shoufu didn't take advantage of the new king's ascending the throne to eliminate dissidents on a large scale. Fortunately, he did not do this, otherwise the temples will become a mess of porridge, and the people will also become a pot of porridge.
"Also, although Emperor Yongxing relied heavily on Lord Shoufu, he is not a fool. If Lord Shoufu excludes dissidents, Emperor Yongxing will not sit still."
Xu Qi'an joked with a smile:
"Why don't you call your father-in-law?"
Xu Xinnian shot back: "Because I am a serious person, not like a big brother."
The brothers turned to look at the green orange in front of Xu Lingyin, and ended the topic tacitly.
Xu Qi'an then asked: "What is the reaction of the DPRK and the Central Government regarding this donation?"
"It's an offense." Xu Xinnian sneered:
"There are very few people who agree with it, and there are a lot of people who are on the sidelines. There are many people who speak and write."
Xu Ershu added: "Erlang has become a street rat now, everyone has to scold him when he sees it."
Xu New Year snorted coldly:
"If it's just cursing, some people still want to impeach me. If the call for donations fails, I, the proponent, will be accountable and bear the responsibility.
"At that time, it may be released outside."
The aunt reacted greatly and immediately shouted:
"Then I would rather you resign instead of doing it or leave Beijing. Now the world is so chaotic, I heard that there are refugees and bandits everywhere."
This is the shortcomings of the family. The court belongs to the royal family and the money belongs to me. Today I am still in this position. The emperor may be beheaded tomorrow. I am expecting my wealth to fill the treasury. .......Xu Qi'an suddenly sighed.
He pondered for a moment, and said: "Are there any rules?"
Xu Xinnian nodded:
"Of course, officials of different grades have a minimum donation standard, which will be determined according to their salary. This can prevent officials from blindly asking for money during the implementation process and filling their pockets.
"In addition, I also propose that your Majesty set up a monument of merit and place it in the Imperial College and the schools of each county for students from all over the world.
"then........"
He said a lot, and Xu Qi'an waved his hand:
"Just tell me, what should I do?"
Xu Xinnian said: "Later, we will go to the study to talk."
The business came to an end for the time being, Xu Qi'an planned to eat and drink Nanjiang Xiaoheipi, and asked:
"Lina, how much do you know about Qijue Gu?"
Lina bulged her cheeks and swallowed the food hard:
"Qijue Gu was left by Grandma Tiangu's husband, and it is the old man Tiangu. When the old man Tiangu left the Gu clan, Qijuegu hadn't completed the sacrifice, but Grandma Tiangu did it for him."
"and after?"
"Later, Mother-in-law Tian Gu gave me Qi Jue Gu and asked me to come to the capital to look for someone with destiny."
I know all this... Xu Qi'an thought for a while and asked: "Besides these, what else do you know?"
Lina began to eat again: "No more."
Xu Qi'an frowned, "Don't you think it strange that Qi Jue Gu can have seven kinds of Gu techniques at the same time? Did the Gu clan have such a thing before?"
Lina nodded seriously: "Strange!"
Xu Qi'an said, "Then why don't you explore?"
Lina looked at him and asked:
"Why explore?
"I can't figure out a lot of things. I have to explore everything. Isn't that too tiring?
"Right, ringtone."
Xu Qi'an was full of pitfalls in his mind, but he couldn't refute it.
Xiaodouding nodded vigorously: "Yes, Master!"
She took the opportunity to pull Master into the water to help share the pressure: "Master, you can help me eat oranges."
Lina shook her head repeatedly: "Go to Sitianjian to find sister Caiwei."
"Then you think ~EbookFREE.me~ Is there a relationship between Qijue Gu and Gu God?" Xu Qi'an brought the topic back.
"All Gus in the world are related to Gu God."
Lina showed a rare serious expression: "Gu sleeps in the extreme abyss. Its power has changed southern Xinjiang. The surrounding creatures have absorbed the power that the Gu overflows, and there will be abnormal changes, so there is Gu."
Xu Qi'an nodded: "I heard you say that this is the source of the Seven Great Gu Techniques."
"Yes, different creatures absorb different powers and produce different mutations. Occasionally there will be creatures and Gu masters with double Gu techniques, but only the Gu God is the collection of the seven major Gu techniques."
Lina said.
Only Gu God... Xu Qi'an suddenly got a numb scalp.
...........
The same evening, the setting sun is like blood.
The luxurious carriage made of golden nanmu drove into the palace amidst the sound of wheels.
Lin'an stepped down on the small bench with a gloomy expression, wrapped in the fox fur cloak, and under the leadership of the eunuch, entered the imperial study room.
Emperor Yongxing, who was immersed in his official duties, had no good spirits:
"What does Sitianjian have that is worthy of nostalgia for His Highness Lin'an?"
Lin'an Qi said: "There is nothing to miss, but I don't want to go back to the palace. I slept for a day."
Emperor Yongxing raised his head, put down the memorial, and said:
"I am still waiting for your news."
"He agreed." Lin'an replied concisely.
"I know, Lin'an you will go out, he will definitely not refuse." Yongxing Emperor laughed.
Lin'an didn't stay long, resigned and left.
Emperor Yongxing watched her cross the threshold and walked far along the steps. He took a deep breath and clenched his fists excitedly.
On the big case, a thick stack of papers about impeaching Xu New Year.
.........
PS: I went to the hospital for a nucleic acid test tomorrow and went to bed.
