"My lord, our master said he doesn't know you. If you want to see our master very much, please send us a greeting card." The servant respectfully saluted the man, "The master said I'm very sorry and had to let you run away for a while." Let's go." Hearing this, something flashed quickly in the man's eyes, but it disappeared quickly.The boy has been paying attention to the man's expression, and he has also noticed the flash in his eyes, but he can't distinguish clearly, but he can be sure that there is definitely something wrong with that look.

Seeing that the man had left, the boy ran back to report to the two masters.Wu Daicheng and Lin Jishan originally planned to ask the horseman to come in for a meeting, but after thinking about it, they decided that they should ask someone to find out each other's background.Hearing what the boy said, Wu Daicheng looked at Lin Jishan, "It seems that the visitor is not kind!"

"The other party claims to be a relative of the Lin family, and he doesn't seem to have a good impression of us. Could it be an impostor?" Lin Jishan couldn't figure it out, "Speaking of which, our family is all from the surname of our grandmother, and my grandfather entered the grandmother's house and became a door-to-door son-in-law. , my father and the two uncles are both from my grandmother's surname. When my father entered my grandmother's house, I lost contact with my family, and my grandmother has not heard of any relatives for so many years."

"In this case, it is very likely that they are relatives from the grandmother's side." In ancient times, the son-in-law had no contact with the family, and it was okay if he stopped moving and broke the relationship. But in this era, families with only one child are definitely rare. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as rare.In people's minds, even if men are not as noble as women, they still shoulder the important task of inheriting the family.In addition, there are not a few people like the old man of the Wu family who hold the idea that there must be a girl. There is definitely not only one member of the Lin family in my grandmother's generation.

"Father will know when he gets back." Lin Jishan was more worried about troubles at home than about relatives.

Lin Wenshi hurried all the way back to Liaocheng, and when he entered the gate of Lin's house, he was relieved to find that there was no Tianren, and he didn't drink any water, so he went to greet the old lady, but the old lady closed the door and disappeared.Lin Wenshi frowned, wondering how he had offended the old lady again.After sending someone to deliver a letter to the master, Lin Wenshi went to arrange father's residence.Mr. Wen found a random yard and lived in it, and planned to send someone to find a house in Liaocheng tomorrow and move out.The married Di is like splashed water. Although he only has such a child, he can't live in the son-in-law's house like this.

After Lin Wenliang received the letter, he didn't rush home immediately, but asked the boy to go back and ask Lin Wenshi to come out.Lin Wenshi felt strange that there was something he couldn't say at home, and now he realized that the atmosphere at home was not right, Lin Wenshi's heart skipped a beat.Lin Wenshi pretended to be something in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface. After changing his clothes, he took the servant to the place Lin Wenliang said.

When Lin Wenliang saw his wife, he didn't care about etiquette, and quickly stepped forward to hug him tightly. This was the first time the two had been separated for so long after they got married.Lin Wenshi, who came out with a bad mood, improved a lot because of a hug, but he was still a little worried. "Why did you come out to talk, what happened at home?"

"I don't understand more and more what mother is thinking." Lin Wenliang sighed, and sat down with his wife, "Mother wanted me to accept the child, but I refused. Didn't this cause trouble with me in the past few days? Days sneaked in a di, and I walked the streets in the name of stealing that day."

Lin Wenshi looked at Lin Wenliang and said nothing for a while, he didn't know whether to say what was right or wrong. Selfishly speaking, Lin Wenliang didn't think there was anything wrong, but he felt a little sympathetic to Di who was paraded in the street.

"I know you will be soft-hearted. If you don't use this to dispel your mother's thoughts, there will be no peace at home in the future. After parading the street, I told my mother that the yard I bought for him has been repaired." Lin Wenliang sighed after finishing speaking. "My mother doesn't go out these days. I originally thought that my mother would move out in a fit of anger before you can come back."

"I'm afraid it's not good to do this. No matter what you think you are doing right or wrong, others will think you are unfilial." Lin Wenshi sighed, "It's also my fault for not being up to date."

"How can you be the only one to blame for this matter." Lin Wenliang couldn't see his wife was sad, "It might be unfilial to say something. I really miss the days when I used to support my mother far away."

Lin Wenshi glared at Lin Wenliang fiercely, "You can't let my mother move out." After finishing speaking, Lin Wenshi sighed. That's what he said, but when he gets along with the old lady in the future, he will definitely feel uncomfortable .If he had no children, he would have accepted the matter of taking a concubine, but now that his sons are all married, how could Lin Wenshi not have scars in his heart when the old lady caused such a thing. "After Da Niang came over, things became more and more confusing."

Originally, the two wanted to have dinner outside before returning to the mansion, but Lin Wenliang was called back by an urgent message from the capital, so Lin Wenshi had to go back to the mansion alone first.When Lin Wenliang finished his business and returned to the mansion, Lin Wenshi remembered the person he met in the capital who looked exactly like the old lady. "Is there a relative at my mother's family that I haven't contacted for a long time?"

"Why did you ask about this all of a sudden?" Lin Wenliang didn't know much about some things in the family. "My family has an uncle. When he was young, his uncle did some nasty things and was kicked out by his mother. I haven't contacted her either. There seems to be an aunt besides my uncle, but I haven't seen her since I was a child, and I don't know where I went." Lin Wenshi told what happened in the capital, and Lin Wenliang listened deeply. Shame on him, he has to ask his mother about the past. "I'll ask my mother, and I'll send a letter to Jishan after I ask clearly."

Lin Jishan and Wu Daicheng, who were in the capital, received a greeting card on the second day of the man's visit, which said Nanning scholar, Lin Jixin.Looking at the name on it, Lin Jishan couldn't help being startled, and his intuition told him that this person might really be his relative.

"Scholar?" Wu Daicheng looked at Lin Jishan, "Is this a relationship?" The latter sentence was used by Wu Daicheng to ease the atmosphere.If they don't know that the other party is hostile to them, it is very possible to entrust the relationship, but now both of them know in their hearts that the matter is far from that simple.

Lin Jishan knew that Wu Daicheng was trying to calm his emotions, so the corners of his mouth twitched. He wanted to laugh but couldn't. He felt that the other party was coming for him, but why?

When he arrived at the Beijing News, the first thing Lin Jishan did after seeing the princess was not to ask him why he came so early in surprise, but "Can I ask the prince to help me check someone".

The concubine looked at Wu Daicheng and raised her eyebrows, "Is it convenient for you to send me a message when you invite me over?"

Wu Daicheng sighed, and talked about what happened at home in the past two days, "If I had someone like the prince, I would never bother the prince with everything, but unfortunately I am not familiar with the place in the capital, and I am not familiar with the place of the Beijing newspaper. There is no way to get rid of the ducks and put them on the shelves, and it is absolutely impossible to investigate people."

"You can call the chief manager in charge of the house for this matter, there is no need for the prince to take action." The princess raised her hand and poked Wu Daicheng, "Now take me around the courtyard of the Beijing News."

Wu Daicheng took the princess around the courtyard to introduce the purpose of each small courtyard, and the princess introduced to Wu Daicheng the identities of the people sent in the courtyard. The expression on Wu Daicheng's face became more and more surprised. "How much does that guy value the Beijing News?"

"I read the Liaocheng Evening News every issue. There are news about the imperial court, as well as unseen news about some officials, such as what happened in the back house, and which merchant received the bank note from. These things dig If you come out, you are not afraid of being retaliated by the mountain behind the officials?" The princess was worried about the servant who secretly went to meet someone. "I think the emperor also paid attention to this point. After the officials in Liaocheng were replaced, the treasury had a surplus. These days, the emperor has seen it."

"So they wanted to use us as emissaries." Wu Daicheng muttered softly.

The concubine didn't hear what Wu Daicheng said, so she turned her head and looked over in confusion.Wu Daicheng shook his head, indicating that he didn't say anything.The concubine laughed and didn't go to the bottom of the question. The two then went around all the places they didn't visit.The concubine asked Wu Daicheng to do other things, while he went to the work area of ​​the writers.Wu Daicheng didn't go to work, but asked the chief manager of the house to help him check people.

As expected of a person sent from above, the chief manager found out all the details about Lin Jixin three days later, and reported it to Wu Daicheng in detail.After Wu Daicheng came home, he looked at Lin Jishan and hesitated to speak. He used to think that his grandmother was at most an unreasonable old man, but now he thinks that his grandmother is a scheming person who can't see the end. "Lin Jixin is indeed your relative, but the relationship is a little distant." Lin Jishan put down his pen and waited quietly for Wu Daicheng to continue.Wu Daicheng sighed, and reorganized what the chief executive had told him before speaking.

Lin Jixin's grandmother and Lin Jishan's grandmother are sisters, Lin Jishan's grandmother is the eldest, and Lin Jixin's grandmother is the second eldest.Back then, Lin Jixin's grandmother took her husband and left the Lin family after failing to fight for the family property. No one knows where she went afterwards, but it is said that the second Miss Lin lost her family rights back then not because her skills were inferior to others, but because she was used by her elder sister. Forced to step down.

When talking about this, Wu Daicheng paused, and looked at Lin Jishan worriedly, Lin Jishan shook his head, signaling Wu Daicheng to continue.Wu Daicheng sighed in his heart. He didn't know why big families were so obsessed with fighting for power and wealth. Those who are capable can create wealth instead of preempting others to keep it.Wu Daicheng stretched out his hand to hold Lin Jishan's. No matter what happened in the past, whether it is true or not, it will always be uncomfortable for future generations to hear.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, just keep talking."
