Omi had to sit up

Chapter 158 Arranging the funeral

After Chen Shu left the palace, he walked to Jingning Mansion.

Last night, he had agreed with Xie Zhen that he would stay in the palace for a while, but after breakfast, Chen Shu wanted to sit by the table in the bedroom and wait for Xie Zhen to come back, but on the way, something happened to his body again, and he had a nosebleed. The flow couldn't be stopped, not only got blood on his hands, but also stained Xie Zhen's desk case, even the paper on the desk was splattered with blood.

After returning from the border, he stayed with Xie Zhen.Xie Zhen has always treated him very well, but his health has been deteriorating in recent months. The wounds from previous years often flare up, and he feels more and more strenuous. He does not dare to stay by Xie Zhen's side every day.

This time when I entered the palace, I came to find Xie Zhen after the latest injury attack, but I didn't expect to get this bloody appearance again after only one night. He wiped the blood on the table with his sleeve.

If this continues, his health will get worse and worse. I'm afraid he has been hiding it from Zhen Zhen for how long.

Chen Shu was at a loss, and didn't know how to face Xie Zhen when he knew the truth.Even if the man is dying, he is so stubborn to himself that he refuses to let go, but if one day he knows that his time is numbered, what will he think, what will he do, what will he do?

He was reluctant to part with Xie Zhen, and in order to covet Xie Zhen's time by his side, he dragged his broken body to stay with the man for more than a year... But Xie Zhen didn't know about this situation.

Fearing that Xie Zhen would come back and see him, Chen Shu called the servant, explained a few words hastily through the screen, packed up the scroll stained with blood, and left the bedroom softly.

He didn't dare to let others see his appearance at this time, he avoided his attendants and washed his face and hands by the pool in the imperial garden, and then he used lightness kung fu and returned to his mansion.

Jingning Hou's Mansion, built on the north side of the capital, is one of the mansions closest to the imperial city.But Hou Jingning was over 25 years old and had no heirs around him. He was crowned by the emperor and lived in the mansion for a short time. He only hired a few servants to manage the house's internal affairs. An official who is familiar with Jing Ninghou will come to sit down, and he usually seems a little deserted and depressed.

But today's Jingning Hou Mansion has more dignitaries than usual.When Chen Shu returned to the mansion, he heard faint voices coming from the gate of his mansion from a distance, as if there was a dispute.

He frowned slightly, took a step forward and turned a corner, and saw a group of people standing in front of his mansion.Most of the people in this group were dressed as servants, and they were waiting quietly under the steps. One of the leaders was nearly fifty years old, wearing brocade and silk satin, and there was a woman behind him, who was over forty years old, Dress luxuriously, bejeweled, and wear gold and silver on the body, it is very valuable at first glance.

The two stood at the entrance of the mansion, seeming to be arguing with the people inside. When Chen Shu approached, he realized that the person standing in front of them was also a man dressed as a servant, and his appearance was very familiar.

"Who are you to block my master's way?" Among the three of them, Chen Shu heard the woman's voice first, and the woman said, "My master is your master's father, how dare you be here as a servant?" rash?"

The woman spoke with a hint of arrogance, and it was Cen Yufeng, the small house of the Lin family.

Ever since he moved out of the Lin family and lived with Yang Wu, Chen Shu rarely saw Cen Yufeng.I didn't expect to bump into it again at this time.

The middle-aged man standing next to Cen Yufeng was Lin Heming, and these few people didn't know they had been arguing for a long time. At this time, Lin Heming blushed and said, "I want to see Lin Chenshu, do I need your permission? Tell Lin Chenshu, today he If we don't see me, we won't leave here."

As he spoke, he actually sat down in front of Jingning Hou's mansion.

"I told you that Lord Lin Hou is not in the Hou's mansion today, and I asked you to look for it another day. If you don't listen, it's fine." The "servant" standing in front of the Jingning Hou's mansion was not afraid when he saw the husband and wife in such a state, but instead He sneered a few times and said: "At the beginning, the only one conferred by the emperor was Lord Lin Hou. I am from the mansion of Lord Lin Hou, and not from your Lin family. Why should I obey you? Master Lin, you are dressed in fine clothes. If you don't If you don't like sitting here, sit here, and I'll send someone to bring you some water."

"You!" Lin Heming didn't expect to be angry in front of Lin Chenshu, but also in front of the servant of his son's house, and immediately pointed at the "servant" so angry that he couldn't speak.

Chen Shu looked silently at the corner, Lin Heming and Cen Yufeng were related to Lin Chenshu in identity, the servants in his house would definitely not be able to stop him.But the "servant" who was confronting them in front of them was not from his family, it was clearly the No. 11 bone thief Han Heng in Jianghu Records.

Han Heng was born in a reckless family, with a quack aura about him.In the past year, he would often come to Jingninghou's mansion to see Jing Chu, and everyone in the mansion knew that he knew Jingninghou, and they usually treated him respectfully.He was usually the best at dealing with scoundrels. He had seen Lin Heming and Cen Yufeng's attitude towards Lin Chenshu when he was in the Lin Mansion, and knew that Chen Shu had conflicts with the Lin family. Now when he saw two people coming to the door, he immediately stopped them.

He ordered people to bring water, and it was really water, with tea leaves floating on it, and besides that, he brought two benches.Because of Lin Chenshu's relationship, Lin Heming has always been flattered and worshipped this year, but now he saw this scene in front of his son Hou's mansion, a surge of anger surged up, and his brain thumped It exploded, knocked over the served tea with a "snap", stood up and said, "Okay, okay, okay, good servant Jing Ninghou, good you Lin Chenshu, you insist that your relatives deny you, right?" In vain, I let you go to school for you to study, and this is how you repay me? Since you don't recognize me as a father, I, I, I will die for you!"

He was already unable to speak, his chest rose and fell sharply a few times, and when he saw the doorpost beside Jingning Hou's mansion, he made a gesture and slammed forward.

He rushed fast, but when he was about to hit the pillar, his speed stopped slightly.Cen Yufeng was shocked when he saw this, and quickly asked someone to hold Lin Heming back, and said, "Master, master! Don't be too hard on yourself!"

"Master, calm down, master, calm down." A few servants quickly pulled Lin Heming back and comforted him repeatedly, letting Lin Heming calm down.

The servants of Hou Jingning's mansion had never seen such a battle formation before, and they were stunned.

Lin Heming cares about everything, clinging to the position of Marquis of Jingning at this time, he is living an extremely comfortable life, how could he easily seek death.It's just that Robber's bone is not as prudent as Yang Wu's, and if he and Lin Heming are allowed to confront each other, something might happen.Chen Shu coughed a few times, but still walked towards the gate of Jingninghou Mansion.

"Master Hou." Someone in the house had already recognized Chen Shu.

Lin Heming and Cen Yufeng also heard the noise, and Cen Yufeng quickly raised his head, but saw a person walking slowly, tall and thin like a woman, exactly like Lin Chenshu, the former young master of the Lin family.At this time, Lin Chenshu was wearing a dark red long gown with a high neckline, and against the skin, her complexion was actually fairer than that of ordinary women.

Such a person would actually become the Marquis of Jingning.I heard that he is still the emperor's favorite person...

"Master, this Lin Chenshu is going to see us." Seeing this, Cen Yufeng whispered in Lin Heming's ear, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear.

Only then did Lin Heming stop his movements. He glanced at Chen Shu who was walking over, but seeing Chen Shu's indifference, he couldn't help being startled, and he pretended to be calm and let out a "huh".

When Robber saw Lin Chenshu approaching, his eyes lit up slightly.

Chen Shu approached, his eyes swept over the people in front of Jingninghou's gate one by one, and finally fell on Lin Heming.He was still not in good spirits at this time, covered his mouth with his hands and coughed a few times before raising his voice: "Master Lin, what are you doing here?"

What Lin Heming hates most about Lin Chenshu is this kind of strange feeling of turning his face and ignoring others, but after several confrontations with Lin Chenshu, he was blocked by the other party. Hearing this, he immediately responded Said: "I can't come to see you if I have nothing to do?"

"Are you coming here?" Chen Shu asked.

"..." Lin Heming's complexion changed, his chest heaved, and he snorted again, "You are the Marquis of Jingning, so naturally I can't say no to splitting up the family, and I can't do anything to you. It's just that you still have the last name. Lin was once a member of the Lin family, so he must consider the Lin family when doing things."

"The Lin family..." Chen Shu's complexion did not change, but the color of his lips was only slightly pale, "What do you want me to do?"

His complexion was not good, and Lin Heming frowned when he saw it. Cen Yufeng next to him said: "You have been the Marquis of Ningning for so long, and I have never seen you support your younger brother. The master only has you two sons, you are already promising , should help Sheng'er more."

When she mentioned Lin Sheng, Chen Shu suddenly sneered and said, "Oh? Does he need my help?"

"Master." Seeing the mocking smile on Lin Chenshu's face, Cen Yufeng's expression changed, and he quickly pulled down Lin Heming's sleeve.

With Cen Yufeng urging him beside him, Lin Heming said: "Sheng'er had an accident yesterday, and it was Ting Wei who arrested him. You used to be Ting Wei Shaoqing, their boss, and now you are Jing Ninghou. You can tell Mr. Gong about it." A few words, let him release the person..."

"Lieutenant Ting doesn't arrest people for no reason. What did he do?" Chen Shu asked.

"It's just a small matter." Cen Yufeng continued, "Those people with bad mouths went to Tingwei to falsely accuse Sheng'er, saying that Sheng'er was greedy for their silver taels. Their silver is only worth a few dollars, and they don't think about our Lin family. I don't like it."

While muttering to herself, she secretly looked at Lin Chenshu, wanting to see what the other person looked like, but she saw that Lin Chenshu didn't say a word, just stood aside, obviously not thinking about asking her anything.

"Master! Look at him!" If Sheng'er hadn't asked for something today, she wouldn't have the audacity to come to Lin Chenshu to embarrass her.Cen Yufeng was in a hurry and stomped her feet.

Lin Heming has been in contact with Chen Shu several times, and knows the other party's lukewarm attitude.He calmed down, and said again: "Chen Shu, your brother did it unintentionally this time. He was just joking with others about buying and selling officials. He didn't expect that it would alarm Ting Wei. You are Jing Ning Hou, just do me a favor and bring Sheng'er out of prison, can you?"

Chen Shu answered for a while: "Lin Sheng has no official title, how did he do this business?"

Lin Heming's face froze slightly, and he glanced at Chen Shu with hesitation on his face, and he didn't dare to explain immediately.

With his appearance, I'm afraid that Lin Sheng's actions are the same as what Liang Du did back then, but Liang Fengyuan was indeed buying and selling officials back then, while Lin Sheng was using his guise of respecting Ninghou to hang sheep. The head sells dog meat.Hou Jingning is famous, so someone will definitely be deceived. Gong Changqin must have heard about it, fearing that his reputation will be damaged, so Ting Wei's yamen sent people to arrest Lin Sheng.

Lin Sheng did this behind Lin Chenshu's back. Lin Heming is a shrewd person, and he is too ashamed to say such a thing, but Cen Yufeng said beside him: "Sheng'er is also pitiful, this matter must be caused by those people. Slander our Lin family. Chen Shu, you have a close relationship with the emperor, can you go talk to Sheng'er?"

"It's a trivial matter, do you need to bother Master Lin and the emperor?" Han Heng who was next to him couldn't listen any longer, and he sneered, "It's just the prison of Ting Wei, you let your Sheng'er stay in prison for three or two years." It was released, why bother?"

Cen Yufeng's face changed. She had prejudice against Han Heng, but when she saw what the other person said, she immediately stared at Lin Chenshu and said, "Lin Chenshu, there is a way that one person can ascend to heaven alone. If you are promoted, the original master and the entire Lin family are waiting for you." I asked you to help, but Sheng Er didn't see you help him once in the three years of the imperial examination, and he encountered difficulties this time, you can't let him die, can you?"

"Yes, it's not difficult to promote your younger brother after you become such a high-ranking official." Lin Heming knew that Lin Chenshu had no hope in his official career, so he turned to Lin Sheng with hope, "In a few days, the imperial examination will be completed." The list is released, and there are [-] Jinshi quotas, no matter how bad your brother is, he can get one..."

"With the implementation of the New Deal, those who are capable of the official system will live there." Chen Shu said slowly, "If Lin Sheng has the ability, when he comes out of prison, he will naturally be promoted to a higher position."

"He's your younger brother. It's not up to you if you want to be released from prison or get promoted!" Lin Heming instantly recognized what Chen Shu said, his expression changed, and he immediately grabbed his hand and said, "Lin Chenshu, If you don't agree to help your brother get out of Ting Wei today, I, I, I will follow you!"

He was emotional. Ever since Lin Chenshu refused to move to Jingninghou Mansion last time, he felt that this son was not his own, and he couldn't find anything to talk about. Hold onto Lin Chenshu's sleeves tightly.

"Follow Master Lin Hou, I think you are..." Robber Bone saw Lin Heming's appearance, and was about to speak sarcasticly, but was suddenly interrupted by Lin Chenshu's coughing. He was taken aback, looked at Chen Shu, but Seeing Chen Shu coughing dryly and waving at him, he didn't let himself continue.

He had no choice but to stop talking and look at Chen Shu.

"Okay." Chen Shu's answering voice unexpectedly came from beside his ear.

Lin Chenshu actually promised Lin Heming to save Lin Sheng?Robber's heart was startled, he knew that Lin Sheng was hanging out with Liang Du before, and he once wanted to embarrass Lin Chenshu.At this time, when he heard Lin Chenshu's words, he thought he had an auditory hallucination.He hurriedly looked up and down at Chen Shu again, only to see that his brows and eyes were drooping, and there was a thick black shadow under his eyelids.

"If I have a chance in the future, I will arrange it." Chen Shu's words sounded again.

He actually agreed to Lin Heming.

"Really?" Lin Heming didn't expect Lin Chenshu to agree, so he hurriedly asked again.

"Yes." Chen Shu replied.

"..." Lin Chenshu, who had become more and more difficult to deal with, would let go. Lin Heming was taken aback, still feeling a little unrealistic in his heart. He looked at Lin Chenshu again and said, "When will you arrange it? Sheng When will the son come out? What officer are you going to arrange for him?"

"At this time, as for the official position, I still have to look at the specific quota, or what do you want Lin Sheng to be?" Chen Shu slowly pulled Lin Heming's hand away.

"!" Is there such a good thing?

Lin Heming turned his mind quickly, but still refused to let go, and said worriedly: "Then what if you didn't do it?"

Chen Shu's expression was still the same cold: "If I didn't bring Lin Sheng out, you can come to me again. I'm Jing Ninghou, and I'm also your son. You can definitely find me."

Lin Chenshu is now the Marquis of Jing Ning, and the means of ordinary people can't help him at all. Lin Heming thought about it, and finally let go of his hand slowly.

When Cen Yufeng saw that Lin Chenshu finally agreed, there was a hint of excitement in the corners of his eyes and brows.

"I still have something to do. Please go back, both of you." After Chen Shu finished speaking, he ignored the two of the Lin family and turned around to enter Jingninghou's mansion.

"Lord Lin." Robber Bone followed immediately, and said in a low voice, "Master Lin, do you really want to promise them to save that Lin Sheng?"

Chen Shu walked a few steps, listened to Han Heng's question, and laughed in a low voice. When he looked up, he saw Jing Chu standing in the front yard and looking towards the front door. The woman's face was concerned, and she saw that the person who came in was After Chen Shu, he hurriedly let out a soft "ah" and called Chen Shu brother.

Jing Chu lived in Hou's Mansion after returning from Yubei Pass, which is why Robber Bone came to Hou's Mansion again and again.Chen Shu turned his head, and saw Han Heng smiling, and even the righteous indignation before was much less.

Chen Shu didn't answer Han Heng's words, his eyes paused between the two for a while, then he beckoned to them and walked to his bedroom.

Seeing that Chen Shu didn't answer his question, Han Heng thought that this matter was Lin Chenshu's family matter, so he didn't seem to be able to care too much, so he had to put it aside and walked along with Chen Shu.

Chen Shu knew about the fact that he was with Jing Chu.But Han Heng's reputation in Jianghu is not good, and he has always been criticized by others. This year, he was also afraid that Chen Shu would regret that he was with Jing Chu because of his wrongdoing. My impression has changed.

But at this time Chen Shu let Han Heng and Jing Chu go there together, which made Han Heng feel a little uneasy.

Jing Chu glanced sideways at Han Heng's appearance, and quietly stretched out a hand to hold Han Heng's palm.

Han Heng was overjoyed, and immediately shook back cautiously, until Chen Shu opened the door of his bedroom and turned around before leaving in a hurry.

"Mr. Lin, why did you call us here?" Seeing Chen Shu looking at him, Han Heng quickly calmed down his nervousness and asked.

Chen Shu coughed again, took out a box from the locker in the room and put it on the table next to him, then turned to it, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't be nervous... I just want to ask, you two When will you officially get married?"
