Now that this is the situation, it can be seen that Emperor Ming's mind is not simple, if it is an ordinary gift of marriage, it is just to call Wei's eldest son back to Luoyang, why bother to send his relatives there.

Wei's brain is not shrewd, and he can't think clearly. Lin Ran has a little understanding. Since he is going to see off his relatives, why not find out the truth.

Xinyang naturally knew that she also arranged for someone to enter the house, so Lin Ran didn't need to go this way, she wished to kill Wei Shi to end the matter, the success was more than failure.

She looked at Mu Neng angrily, who drank tea leisurely, and said, "I'm so anxious, Your Majesty won't let Lin Ran leave. Wouldn't she have suffered a great loss if such a big Golden Bodhisattva was taken away by Qian Qi?" , If you guess correctly, someone must have been arranged."

Mu Liang reassured, and said: "The meaning of the princess is her meaning. The dowry is paid by the household department. Presumably the person who sent the relatives must have arranged it. From the beginning to the end of this marriage, it was all planned by His Majesty. Just test Wei Xun."

Feeling disappointed, Lin Ran drooped her head, Xinyang got up to leave, she called out: "Did the Beiya Army of His Highness Xinyang receive the cotton coat?"

"Got it, if Patriarch Lin thinks there is too much money, he can also send some cattle and sheep over."

Xinyang left behind a word and strode away, Lin Ran snorted, "You think I'm really raising soldiers for you." Without Changle's money, she would not be a good person.

Mu Neng is chic, cried to His Majesty a few days ago, sold Mi Mi, and got a dowry, very satisfied.With this month's salary in his waist, he was thinking about where to go for a drink.

After thinking about it, it's better to go to the Eighth Prince's Mansion. The last time I took a cart of good wine from Lin Ran, I couldn't take advantage of him for nothing.

He got up and left, walked to the threshold and remembered something, and told Lin Ran: "Let the restaurant send a table of noodles to the Eight Princes' Mansion, remember to pay the money first."

Lin Ran: "..."

When did father become so poor, she asked concerned: "Did the princess use up your salary?"

"Father has a salary, so he just pays it himself, lest the concubine find out and make a fuss." Mu Liang easily blocked it, his father had money on him, and he didn't know what to do with it, it was probably not a good thing.

Mu Neng was so angry that he pointed at the two of them, Lin Ran shrank his head, "Ah Liang said, if you don't give it, you don't give it, or you can eat in the Princess's Mansion, you can invite whoever you want."

"No, I can't take advantage of the old man. He won a carload of good wine from you, and he won't give me a jar." Mu Neng got angry after thinking about it, flung his sleeves and left, and said again when he came out of the corridor: "Come here tomorrow drink wine."

Nowhere is left behind.

Lin Ran suddenly sighed: "Fortunately, father raised a daughter, if he raises a son like the Eighth King, there will be a lot of noise in the house."

There was something wrong with what she said, Mu Liang glanced at her: "What do you mean?"

"Literally, let's go to the shop to have a look. The Zhao family has been devastated, and I feel comfortable." Lin Ran pulled her out of the house, ordered the coachman to harness the carriage, and sent people to the wine shop to prepare a private room. I didn't go back to the house at noon.

I don't know why he was thinking about it, but Mu Liang also wanted to know what the Zhao Family Embroidery Workshop looked like, so he didn't refuse, and followed Lin Ran for a walk.

There were still customers in front of the Zhao Family Embroidery Workshop, people in twos and threes, compared with the bustle of the past, it was really hard to see.

Lin Ran leaned against the car window and looked into the store. Zhao Fuyun was still in front of the counter, talking with people, warm and gentle, she felt strange: "Ah Liang, I checked, Zhao Fuyun's ancestral home is in the south of the Yangtze River. She is in business, but her figure looks like she came from a brothel, don't you think there is something wrong?"

Mu Liang didn't understand what she felt, especially the charm in her mouth, "Women in the south of the Yangtze River are graceful and restrained, and they are different from the women of aristocratic families in Luoyang City. Besides, there are not many people like you who practice martial arts all day long. Like you are wearing a robe?"

"Aren't I gentle?" Lin Ran was not convinced, he held her face and forced her to look at him with displeasure in his eyes: "Where am I not gentle?"

"Where are you being gentle, just look at you being gentle now?" Mu Liang patted her hand away, touched her sore jaw, and poked her head: "Why do you want to learn to be gentle?"

"I'm already gentle, so I don't need to learn. I'll wear those dresses you made tomorrow." She proudly turned her head, remembered something, and hurriedly pulled down the curtain of the car: "Don't look at her, lest you be seduced by her , go to the wine shop."

The coachman responded, whipped his whip and left. After Lin Ran hummed a few times, Mu Liang followed her.

The voices in the embroidery workshop were tepid, and the two of them didn't care at all. After all, these were trivial matters, and the losses in Jiangnan were much greater than those in Luoyang City.

The business of the restaurant was good, the lobby was full of people at noon, the shopkeeper came back from the Eight Princes Mansion, and when he saw the owner coming, he greeted him.Lin Ran waved his hand, motioning for him to step back.

Half an hour later, Zhao Jiuniang came in quietly through the back door. After taking off her cloak, Lin Ran asked her to sit down and pour the wine herself.

Zhao Jiuniang was so scared that she stood up, and Mu Liang smiled gently: "She feels uncomfortable, and let her do it."

"Why is the Patriarch uncomfortable?" Zhao Jiuniang sat down awkwardly and took the wine cup.

Mu Liang pondered for a while, then said in deliberation: "Yao Mo is jealous, and his heart is very sour."

Zhao Jiuniang had been in Fuyun Tower for more than ten years, and she immediately came to her senses, and kept silent about this matter. Outsiders should seldom get involved in matters between the young couple.

After drinking a glass of wine, she talked about the serious business: "There are many guests who come from Jiangnan, and after experiencing the war, they don't want to go there again. The former Qi warriors were swift and fierce, regardless of the safety of the people, and even came with the people. Threats to local parent officials."

"Many acts of unrighteousness will result in death." Lin Ran sarcastically said.

"Qian Qi is very familiar with the tactics of the newcomers, and often focuses on the weak points to fight. The court must know this, but many merchants said that they have only seen the leader of the army, and have never seen any princess. The princess is not in the barracks."

"Not in the barracks? Could it be a bluff?" Lin Ran asked.

"That's not necessarily the case. Where there is a princess showing her face, His Highness Xinyang is a general. She has no choice. Since the front Qi has a strong general and the strategy is well appointed, she is not needed." Mu Liang played with the wine cup in his hand. Luo Qing's attack on Luoyang City was somewhat impressive.

Luo Qing has always been cunning, and was ordered by the Emperor Ming to be the vanguard. He pretended to fight for a few days, and then disappeared. The Luoyang city guard saw that the dragons were leaderless, and opened the door to meet the enemy. How did he know that Xinyang rushed out from the side.

The gate of Luoyang city could not be closed. As for where she went, no one knows until now.

I don't know what kind of strange way this is, but when the Luoyang city gate was opened, no one cared about it. The general has a heart to stabilize the soldiers, and the more mysterious the princess of the former Qi, the deeper the uneasiness in the hearts of the new soldiers when they meet the enemy.

Lin Ran didn't understand this, and motioned for Zhao Jiuniang to continue.

"This princess has never shown her face, and my subordinates think that maybe she is not in Jiangnan." Zhao Jiuniang guessed.

"If you're not here, you're not here. Tell me about the Wei family's affairs." Lin Ran was impatient, a woman disturbed everyone, and was even more disgusting than Emperor Ming.

Zhao Jiuniang smiled, and continued: "Wei Xun has been in Jiangnan for many years, and he was the first to support His Majesty's ascension to the throne. As for his ability, His Highness Xinyang knows best."

Isn't that just a wine bag and a rice bag.Lin Ran didn't want the war to happen, so he said to Mu Liang: "If the Lin family avoids the battle line, they will close all the shops."

At this time, it is very similar to Lin Fang's back then, but Lin Fang did not close the shop, but instead took the opportunity to raise the price and make huge profits.

Merchants do business for money. Lin Ran is different. She is not fighting for the country, but defending the country of the number one merchant that Lin Fang once conquered. The situations they face are different, and the methods are different.

Zhao Jiuniang didn't have the right to comment, and when she became depressed, Mu Liang nodded in response: "It's okay, just follow people's orders when you return home."

It's not easy for her to settle down arbitrarily. Lin Si traveled all over the world with Lin Fang back then, so she has quite a lot of experience, so maybe she may have asked him.

Zhao Jiuniang said a few more things: "You asked your subordinates to investigate the Zhao family, so you can see clearly. Zhao Fuyun has never been married so far. He had a good girl, but the family didn't agree, and the girl died somehow. Zhao Fuyun has been delaying it all the time. The Zhao family is well-known in the south of the Yangtze River, she is very smart, and there is no loss in moving the shop to Luoyang early."

"The girl you like is dead. It's so weird. You go and find out who the girl you like is. She's not as weak as she looks, and I think she's good at seductive tricks." Lin Ran's sharp, dark eyes Full of confidence.

Mu Liang couldn't help rubbing his brows and eyes, and started again...

Zhao Jiuning knows what seduction is. The women in the Qinlou and Chuguan love to use these, and many concubines in the back house like to learn these to attract men's hearts. How can the owner of Yixiufang know this?

"How does the Patriarch know that she knows how to charm?"

"I can see that the fragrance on her body is very strange."

Zhao Jiuniang didn't know how to answer, she had met Zhao Fuyun once before, Jiangnan women are always graceful, there is no such thing as coquetry, the little Patriarch probably misunderstood it.

She put down the wine cup: "This subordinate will go back to the building first."

"You don't believe me?" Lin Ran sensed something was wrong.

Zhao Jiuniang smiled sarcastically: "I'll ask someone to check it out. Patriarch, don't take it to heart. If this kind of woman hasn't married yet, her thoughts will be more or less deep. You should stay away from her."

There was something in her words, Lin Ran retorted: "It's not me, it's her who always comes to see me, we often meet by chance, the scent sometimes disappears."

Zhao Jiuniang knew countless people, and she didn't think too much about Zhao Fuyun's attributing it to Jiangnan's production of hibiscus.

Seeing that Zhao Jiuniang was speechless, Mu Liang said softly, "Go back upstairs first."

Zhao Jiuniang retreated in a hurry, Lin Ran lamented silently, her eyebrows lowered, but Mu Liang said, "You're out of your mind."

"No, if you wronged me, she is not a good person. You have wronged me several times because of her." Lin Ran raised her head.

Mu Liang smiled faintly, and had some opinions on Zhao Fuyun in her heart, and followed Lin Ran's meaning: "Yes, she can be charming, you should stay away from her."

Her eyes drifted, and Lin Ran immediately said, "You are perfunctory."

Being arrogant again.Mu Liang took the fruit wine to feed her, with picturesque eyebrows, and said softly: "Don't mention her, so as not to make yourself angry."

"It's still perfunctory." Lin Ran didn't drink, and turned sideways depressed.

The more she coaxed, the more angry she became, Mu Liang said seriously: "Look at how angry you are because of unfamiliar people, why do you always care about her, even though you can't make friends with your family, don't always worry about her."

"I didn't take it to heart, I just reminded you that she is not a good person." Lin Ran reflected, she seemed to have reacted a little bit, Zhao Fuyun's seduction has nothing to do with her, she pondered for a while, and admitted her mistake first: "I feel that she Always appearing in front of me intentionally or unintentionally, the number of times is too many, and if it is passed on to you, you must be unhappy."

"When I work outside, I meet countless people. Am I a stingy person?" Mu Liang laughed. Although she is sensitive, she is not a person who doesn't know right from wrong, especially a mysterious woman.

But thinking about it this way, I felt uneasy instead, and added: "You just need to stay away from her."

She touched Lin Ran's head, leaned over and kissed the corner of her mouth, the faint smell of wine was very pleasant.Lin Ran was overjoyed, and A Liang left before he felt the taste.

She protested: "It's so short, come again."

"No more." Mu Liang's ears turned red again, and from the corner of her eye, she saw the little thing sticking to her without giving up, and hurriedly stopped her: "Be more serious."

Lin Ran muttered softly, "Only state officials are allowed to set fires, and the common people are not allowed to light lamps."

Mu Liang's face also turned red, "Are you still lighting up too few lamps?"

"Then let's go back and light the lights."

Mu Liang: "..." She really hit herself in the foot with a stone.

The home lamp was still on, and Xinyang sent someone to send a message: "Prince Ping has returned to Beijing."

Lin Ran was so shocked that he forgot about the 'lighting', and didn't react for a while, "He came back secretly?"

"Your Majesty personally summoned them, and they have arrived at the Zichen Hall. Your Highness just happened to see it at Donghua Gate, but the others have not known about it yet." The messenger spoke clearly and conveyed all Xinyang's words.

King Ping is the second son of the Emperor Ming. He never came back after he pacified Qianqi. It is the same as Luoyang, except that King Ping has no military power in his hands, and lives peacefully in the fief. These years have been quiet as if no one was there. If the prince hadn't killed himself , and no one cares about him.

The person who sent the message quickly returned to the Princess Mansion. Lin Ran was in a state of astonishment and was a little confused about the situation in front of him. "The matter of the Su family is undecided. What will King Ping do when he comes back? Could it be possible to be the prince?"

"Your Majesty is probably afraid that if the Su family is destroyed and Xinyang grows bigger, he will let King Ping come back to stabilize the situation. After all, the matter of the Luo family is ahead, and Xinyang has a knot in his heart. It is absolutely impossible for a mother to be kind and filial to her son." Mu Liang analyzed with her. , Seeing her pale face again, I can't help but feel distressed.

King Ping came out halfway, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad for the Su family's affairs.King Ping is cunning and more vicious than his prince.

Lin Ran's obsession with the Luo family was deeply ingrained, and she couldn't help feeling a little worried, "Are you scared?"

"No, I just don't understand His Majesty's actions." Lin Ran rubbed her temples irritably, her eyes were cold.

Mu Liang held her hands, rubbed her gently, and said in a low voice: "Stop arrogance and impetuosity, this matter is impenetrable, just pretend you don't know, and see what your Majesty will do."

"I'm going to Princess Xinyang's mansion." Lin Ran had no idea, wanted to scold someone, scold Xinyang... scold her for being careless, for such a big matter, there was no word about it, just like what Dad said, silly.

She was restless after hearing the news here, Xinyang and Ping'an had already met outside the palace.

Prince Ping resembled his father, his eyebrows were like blades, without the elegance of a prince, and his whole body was full of rough aura. After seeing Xinyang, he bent down and saluted: "Sister, long time no see."

Xinyang rode his horse out of the Beiya army, he didn't expect to bump into him, he was taken aback for a moment, and immediately jumped off his horse, "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, how can I use the word long time to describe it."

King Ping grew a half-beard, and his complexion was vicissitudes. It can be seen that he has suffered from hardships all the way. He approached Xinyang: "I'm here to catch up with my elder sister. It's a pity that I don't see my elder sister from the Luo family."

Xinyang clenched his fists and said calmly: "She has already passed away, you just came back alone?"

"Well, they're behind."

They naturally refer to wives and concubines. Xinyang knew that King Ping had returned completely, and led him to visit the princess mansion.

Knowing that she was going back to the mansion, Lin Xiang went out to look for her, but suddenly saw a strange man and stopped in his tracks.

King Ping looked at the young girl in front of him, she looked pretty, and she always looked a little timid, knowing her identity, he took the initiative to say: "You should call me Uncle."

"This is His Highness King Ping." Xin Yang took the initiative to introduce, standing with hands behind his back, not as happy as siblings reunited after many years.

Lin Xiang seldom saw outsiders, and after a quick salute, he hid in the yard again. King Ping laughed and said, "She doesn't seem to like strangers, she doesn't seem like a member of the Luo family."

"She grew up in the hands of a concubine, so she is a bit timid." Xin Yang led him into the flower hall, and first asked about the palace.

King Ping came back in a hurry, there was no mansion, so he said casually: "Prince Luo's mansion is vacant, I'll go and have a look, and move in if possible."

"Now there is no Prince Luo's Mansion, the court sold it to Lin Ran, and now it is changed to the Princess's Mansion, you should choose another mansion." Xin Yang reminded him, regardless of his intentions.

King Ping paused for the teacup in his hand, "Is that the first merchant's child? It is said that he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he married Xiao Nineteen?"

"This is not a secret matter. The two have been married for several months and have a very good relationship."

"The relationship is very good? The worldly affairs are also interesting. Mu Liang is very courageous, and Uncle Jiu Wang doesn't care, so he just married?" King Ping laughed.

Xinyang was too lazy to talk to him, and was about to get up, King Ping started to talk about serious business, "Su Changlan has been locked up in the mansion by His Majesty, the Su family is at an end, my brother hopes that sister can help me, and then I will clear the wrongdoing for the Luo family. "

He has always been forthright, and Xinyang is not surprised, but she doesn't trust anyone, and refuses without thinking: "Prince Ping should find someone else, the military power of the Su family is still in whose hands, you are very anxious."

"The soldiers of the Su family will not fall into your hands. The uncles are all listening to you. As long as you help me, they will have a chance to regain their strength." Ping Wang patiently tried to persuade her, but seeing that she didn't respond, he said: " I know that Lin Ran is your own flesh and blood, and I will never treat her badly."

"What are you daydreaming about, how Lin Ran became my own flesh and blood, you're going crazy thinking about money," Xin Yang couldn't help cursing, feeling restless as soon as he came back.

King Ping suppressed his smile, his eyes calmed down: "I have evidence, sister, don't deny it, isn't it good to recognize your own child?"

"Evidence? Luo Qing was not yet full-term when she died, where did the child come from?"

"She is not the only one who gave birth to a child in July."

"You gave birth to me in July. Lin Ran's birthday was in the summer, and Luo Qing died in the spring. Are you right?" Xinyang was angry, and the murderous intent in his eyes was undisguised.

"The princess in your mansion is half a year younger than Lin Ran, so how can you match?" Prince Ping seemed to have come prepared and was not impatient. He sat down calmly and drank the tea cup. a mouthful.

Xinyang on the opposite side looked at him directly: "When did I say that Lin Xiang is my child, she was just picked up by me, don't think too much about it."

"Forget it, since sister doesn't admit it, I won't force it. Because of the deep love between you and me, I will give you three days. If you think my brother can do it, you can help me. If my brother is not a good person, you can let him go for a while." fight."

King Ping stood up calmly, and boasted: "The tea in Ajie's Mansion is good, and it's not worse than that in Zichen Palace."

Xinyang didn't answer, ignoring his departure.

The next day, Emperor Ming ordered a banquet to celebrate King Ping's return. Three kings with different surnames were invited. For some reason, Emperor Ming asked Lin Ran to accompany him to the banquet.

Lin Ran felt tired of the banquet in the palace, especially the cold dishes, which made her stomach feel uncomfortable.

Mu Liang prepared clothes for her, remembering that Emperor Ming said it was a family banquet, his hands trembled when he touched the corners of the clothes, and he was afraid that he would scare Lin Ran, so he held back and changed her into a blue robe.

"Ah Liang, what kind of person is King Ping? I heard that he is younger than His Highness Xinyang." Lin Ran sat on the couch with her knees hugged, her hair hanging down, her shoulders thin and thin, and the blue color was just right for her.

"I don't have any impression of him. I probably only met him once when Princess Luo got married. Afterwards, he led the troops to leave and never returned to Luoyang." Mu Liang's impression of King Ping stayed at the moment when he entered the marriage.

The Luo family is the largest and naturally has many rules. When Princess Luo got married, King Ping climbed over the wall and led him in. He was so angry that Duke Luo took a knife himself and almost chopped him off.

She is also a person who doesn't leave the door, but she hasn't seen him for so many years, and she doesn't know Prince Ping's temperament. He has made no achievements in the fief for so many years, which shows that he is not a person with mediocre qualifications.

Lin Ran didn't ask any more questions. After getting dressed, seeing that she was in a trance, he squeezed her chin: "Do you have something on your mind?"

"I'm just curious about what I'm calling you for today's family banquet." Mu Liang didn't dare to express her guess, and only mentioned one sentence to remind her that tonight is probably a Hongmen banquet, but with Xinyang and her father here today, Lin Ran also nothing will happen.

"I'm afraid, Emperor Ming can still kill me. Even if he knows that I am the daughter of His Highness Xinyang, he will not kill me in front of so many people. She pays attention to reputation, and if she messes up, she will force His Highness Xinyang It's the other way around." Lin Ran was not afraid at all, and his mind was calm, seeing that Mu Liang was still frowning, he teased her: "You wait until I come back to light the lamp, don't run away at will."

Mu Liang's eyes showed anger, and she let go of her hand: "Drink less alcohol, and hide behind your father when things happen, do you understand?"

Mu Neng has a violent temper, and he has been respectful to Emperor Ming for so many years. Emperor Ming gave him some face, as long as it is not a big matter, he will not care.Therefore, if Mu Neng made a fuss about trivial matters, Emperor Ming was also afraid of him.

"Understood, he is the shield." Lin Ran smiled foolishly, and left with Mu Huai.

As soon as she left, Mu Liang's heart became empty. Not long after, Lin Si came to invite her to play chess.

Lin Si never invited her in the future, the inexplicable action reminded her of the night banquet tonight, after thinking twice, she ordered the doorman to go to Lin Si with her maid after seeing no one.

****

The banquet was held in the side hall of the Zichen Palace, guarded by the Jinwu Guards, and people were watching when they came and went.

Cornered eaves, winding and winding eaves, the palace built by skilled craftsmen for decades, stands alone under the green tiles and vermilion roofs.

Emperor Ming's palace was extravagant and chaotic, and the Bei Que Pearl Palace made people's hearts sway. Qin Wan approached King Ping, "Your Highness, the banquet is about to begin."

King Ping looked at her beauty and couldn't help but sigh. When Fang wanted to stretch out his hand, he heard Mu Neng's carefree voice: "What are you arguing about? Don't drink with me tonight. The doctor told me to quit drinking."

Lin Ran followed two quarreling old men, her ears were about to explode, she touched her ears, and when she looked up, she saw a person whose footsteps stopped.

King Ping looked at the young man, without makeup, without a skirt, with a clenched waist, a pink complexion, and pure eyes like a lake of clear water. Compared with Xinyang and Luo Qing, she gave people the impression that she was more like Mu Liang.

When I first met Mu Liang, Mu Liang was only 14 years old, soft and flawless, dazzling like snow, he walked down the steps, "Uncle Eight, Uncle Nine."

Lin Ran's heart skipped a beat when he saw him, and his back was sweating. He wanted to salute but his father said, "Lin Ran, this is your brother Ping Wang."

King Ping's mouth twitched.

The author has something to say: Mu Liang: Who raises like whom.

If you don't catch bugs, remember to tell me when you see it.

The previous chapter is now unlocked, and the general plot is that Qin Wan was promoted.
