I heard you have nine tails

There are three brothers in the Yao family, Dalang Yao Xinhong is the servant of the household department, Erlang Yao Xinsi and Sanlang Yao Xinjun are doing business in Huainan.Concubine Hui is the younger sister of the Yao brothers.This Yao Zhiyuan is Yao Xinjun's only son.

The Yao family's headquarters is in Huainan, so it is not easy for Jue Ming to find out the details in such a short time.Li Lin also wanted to know a thing or two because he thought that he was going to Huainan.

Yao Zhiyuan's name is Migui, he grew up in Huainan and only came to the capital for half a year.When he was in Huainan, he often had a reputation of hanging around the fireworks and not seeking to make progress.He was originally sent by Yao Xinjun to study in the capital, and stayed at Yao Xinhong's home, but because Yao Xinhong was busy with official duties and neglected to discipline him, he had already made a group of cronies among the children in the capital, and mingled with these people every day, instead of playing the piano and painting, It's a poetry reception.It was a coincidence that Li Lin and the others happened that Yao Zhiyuan happened to be a guest of that restaurant often, it was indeed a coincidence.

For Yao Zhiyuan, who is an out-and-out dude, it is inevitable that Jue Ming would look down upon him when talking about him.

Li Lin shook his head slightly, "I can only see that this Mr. Yao is a dude, but he is not a bully or lawless person. His family can afford his extravagance, so there is no need to rush to deny it." Yao Zhiyuan was still polite when talking in the restaurant that day Yes, it was because of their indifference that they became popular, and after Yao Zhiyuan became popular, he didn't do anything to bluff or bully others.Furthermore, these princes in the capital are used to seeing no one, and it is impossible for them to accept Yao Zhiyuan easily just because of an uncle who is the servant of the household department.

"Then what is so special about Yao Zhiyuan?" Li Lin asked.

Jue Ming thought for a while and said: "Although the young master of the Yao family is not good at reading, he is very good at calligraphy and painting. My subordinates found out that when Yao Xinjun was in Huainan, he invited a master to teach him skills."

Li Lin didn't say a word, and he had already made up his mind quickly.Including packing his luggage, he will take it with him for a few more days in Beijing, just to meet that Mr. Yao for a while.

"What does he like?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Cassia's expression became even weirder. "Yao Zhiyuan... seems to like pets very much. His subordinates heard that when he was in Huainan, the mansion had many cats and dogs, rabbits, minks, and... foxes and the like. In short, they all had fur." , he couldn't help but sneak a glance at the little fox sitting beside him.

Li Lin was also a little surprised, and followed Tan Chang with a glance.Glancing at Tan Chang who was fascinated by listening, Li Lin patted his head angrily, "I listen to the story with so much enthusiasm, I have never been so attentive when Gu is talking to you."

Who said Ben Fox didn't listen attentively!Tan Chang lay down beside his hand in disbelief, groaning in his throat.Li Lin touched his ear again, and said to Jue Ming: "You have worked hard for a few days, then keep an eye on him, and go out with Gu Gu in a few days. I will rush to Huainan soon, do you want to go with me?"

Jue Ming is no different than other powerful children who entered the palace as bodyguards. He passed the martial arts exam and was promoted by Li Lin. He is naturally loyal to Li Lin, but it is strange to show his loyalty, "Why doesn't Your Highness stay in Beijing after the New Year? go?"

Mentioning this, Li Lin didn't have much reaction. "Naturally, some people are afraid of staying alone for too long, so they specially come to see him off." Tan Chang got up suddenly, and he suddenly remembered the peace talisman sent by the National Teacher in the afternoon.Is it because Emperor Jinghe saw that that he rushed to drive Li Lin out of the capital?

Jue Ming was still a little puzzled, and Li Lin didn't intend to explain it clearly, so he told him to go down to receive the reward.

After Jueming went down, Li Lin said to Tan Chang again: "The national teachers are in a hurry to let Gu go out, most of them are for the sacrifice. On New Year's Eve, the father and the emperor preside over the sacrifice, and the emperor's uncle is the praise sacrifice. Gu is not here, and they take the lead to bring the prince to worship. It's the third brother."

"Besides, there must be officials giving a banquet on New Year's Day. In previous years, I would go there alone on behalf of my father."

If the third prince can entertain the officials on behalf of Jinghe, his bargaining chip will naturally be one point more.

Tan Chang was not stupid, he understood what Li Lin said, he was not surprised by the actions of the national teacher and Li Ji, what was surprised was that Li Lin condescended to explain to him.

He thought, although this master often bullies him, he is still a good person.

As soon as Tan Chang had such an idea, he heard Li Lin say leisurely: "When I talk to you, you lose your focus, so you can't tell the priorities at all."

Tan Chang yelled a few times in disbelief.He clearly listened attentively!

"Stop acting like a baby, practice calligraphy."

Tan Chang looked at the ink, thinking about what kind of punishment he would get for sticking his tail dipped in ink on his master's face.

As the time to go south was much earlier, the schedules of the people in Xianyang Palace became tense.Jinse directs people to pack their bags and count their hands every day.After the imperial decree was issued, there was another quarrel in the early morning, but it was a pity that Jing Hedi was determined to send the prince out, and no one could stop him.

Zhan Shifu also sent someone to ask His Highness who he wanted to take with him, and Li Lin ordered Yang Jingrun and another bachelor, Zhang Ting, to go with him.He explained in advance that everything should be kept simple and he went there in plain clothes.The two have no opinion.After returning to Xianyang Palace, Li Lin ordered Jinse to sort out the casual clothes, and those silks and satins that are not prohibited and can be seen by the people are sorted out separately.

Li Lin had to go to Kunning Palace to bid farewell to Empress Xu, explain the various arrangements of Zhan Shifu's government, and contact the Ministry of Industry. After such a delay, he dragged it off until the day before his departure before he took the time to ask about Yao Zhiyuan's affairs.

Jue Ming hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Yao Zhiyuan is in that restaurant!"

"Let's go now." Li Lin made up his mind immediately, he stood up and carried Tan Chang into his arms.

Because he was in a hurry, Li Lin only took Caesar Ming and a few of his subordinates, and drove to the restaurant in a carriage.

The restaurant was really bright and lively.As soon as Li Lin entered the door, he heard Yao Zhiyuan's voice: "Don't be polite to me, just drink! Let's say goodbye for a couple of months, and see you in the coming year. I owe you so much wine, why don't you have a good drink today? Can you stand up to yourself?"

After one and two months of separation, Li Lin paused slightly. It seemed that Yao Zhiyuan was going back to Huainan for the new year.

Li Lin has an outstanding appearance and full of aura, even if he is mixed in the crowd, he can be distinguished at a glance.Yao Zhiyuan, who was laughing and laughing at the wine table, also noticed him at a glance.As soon as he noticed, Yao Zhiyuan immediately recognized the person who didn't give him face that day.

Yao Zhiyuan can get along well in the capital, so he has his means.Firstly, his family is not short of money, and he is often a hostess for eating, drinking and having fun; secondly, he will come to trouble, and he will not slap smiling faces.He has a photographic memory for faces, and often recognizes people he hasn't seen in years.But the Mr. Li whom he met half a month ago, not only didn't like him, but also refuted his face in front of his friends.After Yao Zhiyuan went back, he also asked someone to inquire about it, but he never asked which son of a nobleman named Li Muze, it seems that he was either a pseudonym or an outsider.

"Mr. Li, the restaurant has been booked by me today. What can you do?"

Unexpectedly, Li Lin smiled. "Mr. Yao, the last time we met, I really couldn't bear to part with you. I offended you so much. I wanted to try my luck. It just so happened that Mr. Yao was here. I will bring my subordinates here to make amends." Jue Ming immediately saluted wisely, "To Mr. Yao apologize."

Tan Chang in Li Lin's arms also took the opportunity to show his head, hugged his front paws at Li Lin, and squeaked a few times.

Yao Zhiyuan's expression softened a lot. "It's human nature that Mr. Li can't bear to give up love, please be polite, please at the table." After speaking, he vacated a seat beside him.

Li Lin bowed his hands to the people on the table again, took the opportunity to look around, and recognized several familiar faces, either at the banquet or during the autumn hunting.He sat down safely, and Jue Ming pretended to be a servant and waited behind him.

As soon as Li Lin took his seat, he attracted a lot of curious eyes.Yao Zhiyuan also asked with a smile: "Where is Brother Li from? Why haven't I seen him in Beijing before?"

The title changed from Young Master Li to Brother Li in the blink of an eye.Li Lin also showed a relaxed smile as much as possible, "My family is in Wuchang, and my father is in the silk business. He sent me to the capital to visit relatives, study, and see the world."

As soon as they heard that he was a businessman, those who were originally very curious about Li Lin probably lost their interest. They just looked at Yao Zhiyuan's face and didn't say anything sarcastic.

"Huaiyang is not far from Wuchang, brother Li and I are very destined." Yao Zhiyuan was very interested, and asked Li Lin about his impression of the capital.Although Li Lin lived in the capital for a long time, he seldom went out of the palace, so when he talked about what he saw and heard, it was very true.

When they were chattering, the people around them were already a little impatient, and finally waited for a chance to interrupt, and they all talked about drinking.Li Lin was going to leave tomorrow, so he couldn't drink too much, and Jue Ming wanted to stop him, but Li Lin shook his head.It was Yao Zhiyuan who said: "My little brother is leaving tomorrow, so I can only replace wine with tea. Let me toast you all."

"Coincidentally," Li Lin raised his eyebrows pretending to be surprised, "Young Master Yao is leaving tomorrow? My younger brother also intends to leave tomorrow and return home."

"Oh?" Yao Zhiyuan said happily when he heard it, "That's a coincidence, going to Wuchang must pass through Huaiyang, if Brother Li doesn't mind, how about a companion for the two of us on the way?"

This is what Li Lin was waiting for, and he readily agreed upon hearing this.Jueming was nervous and wanted to dissuade him, but also afraid of revealing his secrets, his face was almost reddened.Fortunately, His Royal Highness did not let him suffer for too long: Li Lin and Yao Zhiyuan agreed on the time and place to leave the city, so they took their leave first.

On the way back to the palace in the carriage, Jue Ming finally couldn't help asking: "His Royal Highness, apart from you, there are also a group of people from the Ministry of Industry, Yao Zhiyuan's businessman's son, who are going to Huaiyang. I'm afraid we can't hide it from his eyes."

"When did Gu say that he would go with those officials from the Ministry of Industry?" Li Lin only raised his eyelids, and with a light word, made Cassia Ming silent.

At the critical moment, Tan Chang, who betrayed his sex=exchanged his appearance for the soft heart of the other party, thought he had made a contribution, and as soon as he returned to Xianyang Palace, he lay on Li Lin's chest begging for a reward.

Li Lin crossed his arms again, "Do you still remember Gu's name?"

Isn't it Li Lin? Of course I remember!With the inkstone close at hand, Tan Chang immediately dipped his tail in the ink and wrote the word "Lin".

Li Lin's expression softened slightly after seeing it. "What about the lonely sign?"

Biaozi... It's not fair, you didn't tell me your biaozi!The little fox sat on the spot and looked at Li Lin fiercely.You are embarrassing this fox!

Looking at the cute little fox with "I'm super fierce" written all over his face, Li Lin also had a smile in his eyes.

"The solitary name is Mu Ze." The prince's name was originally called by few people in the world. Even the father and queen Xu would only call him the prince.Originally, Li Lin didn't think anything of it, but suddenly, he saw a businessman's son surrounded by a group of friends calling out his name, and he also hoped that someone could remember his name, no one, the fox can do it .

What is the meaning of this word if no one matches it?

"Do you remember?"

Li Lin held the pen and wrote the word Mu Ze on the paper next to Tan Chang.
