?? "You really go back. I didn't say that Yu Zhenqin is coming back soon. How long do you think you can hide in the Yu Mansion. Why don't you take this opportunity to leave..."

"Yu Ze will be resigned from the cabinet soon. In less than half a year, the Yu family will no longer be able to intervene in the central government." Lin Ji lowered his eyes, playing with the warm but gradually cooling teacup in his hand, the smile on his lips cold.

"But right now at least the Yu family is still powerful."

??The man impatiently supported the table and stood up, "If you show some flaws——"

?? Eyes raised inch by inch.

?? "I know what you mean." Lin Ji brushed the dust off his sleeves, "I will measure."

?? The rain outside the window was getting bigger and bigger, wet the muddy trail.

?? "A Ji!"

"The only thing is, the third son of the Yu family is close to me. If something goes wrong with him, it will be a weakness for me. If you act impulsively next time, I won't spare you."

"What third son, are you talking about that bratty kid today?" He slapped the table with one hand with such force that it almost shattered the table, "What kind of a thing is he? What kind of rice bowl, and whose flesh and blood are you eating, are you worthy of calling me a son?!"

?? "Lin Rong."

?? "I'm not Lin Rong, I'm Xiao Xun!"

?? Under the roar, a dazzling lightning illuminated the room.

??Who's hand quickly closed his throat, so that Lin Rong could only be thrust against the wall forcefully, forced to touch the ground with his toes, holding the man's wrist tightly and struggling slightly.

?? "Didn't I say it a long time ago, let this name rot in my stomach."

?? Lin Ji's whole body was tinged with coldness, the strength of his fingertips increased, and the corners of his mouth were flattened, without any smile.

?? When the man could barely breathe, the fingers finally let go.

??Lin Rong slid along the wall and fell to the ground.

??"Why."

??"what why."

??Lin Rong clenched his hands tightly, his whole body trembling with anger, "Why can they live a glorious life, but we, like gutter mice, have to forget our own names."

?? "I didn't ask you to forget."

?? Lin Ji squatted down slowly, "When one day, you can tell them your name."

?? "It is the time of their death."

??The plain white shoes stepped into the heavy rain, holding an umbrella and walking away in the trail.

??***

??Yu Luo just rushed back to the mansion, and immediately realized that today's mansion is very unusual.

??The maids were in a hurry, and there were more people sweeping.The guards even came and went on inspections, as if they wanted to check the inside and outside of the mansion carefully.In those corners where no one went, the stewards even asked people to pull out the weeds one by one and trim the redundant branches and leaves.

?? Could it be that today is not a big day.

?? Yu Luo just got off the sedan chair and stepped on the wet ground with bare feet. Immediately, the maid said "ah", and hurried to the house to get a new pair of shoes and foot clothes for the third young master to put on first.

??Yu Luo recognized this maid, named Yuanniang. She was in her early twenties, and she seemed to have served her personally for a long time.

"Sister Yuan, what happened in the mansion today." Yu Luo asked her.

?? "The eldest son's mansion sent a message that today's dinner is going to come to the Hou's mansion. Counting the time, it is almost here."

??The eldest son.Oh, it is Yu Ze, the eldest son of the Xuanping Hou Mansion.

?? He was the number one scholar in the palace examination five years ago, and it took only a few years to climb to the position of the second assistant of the cabinet.

?? In the court hall, he is good at dancing with long sleeves, and he is young and ambitious. He has always been praised very highly.

?? In addition, he is the eldest son in the family, and there is a seven-year age gap with the second daughter Yu Yang. For a long time, he has been the only son in the family, so he is very popular with the old lady.

?? This is the first time Yu Luo has seen this brother.

??Yuanniang said that the eldest son would not return to the Hou's mansion to visit if he had nothing to do.The last time I came back was a year ago when Yu Luo was going to discuss marriage with the King of Guangling County.

??And this time, the Eldest Young Master specially ordered Yu Luo to dress up nicely and meet distinguished guests at night.

??Yu Luo didn't know why.

?? Just being pushed and shoved to take a bath and change clothes, Yu Luo still wasn't used to being waited on to take a bath, so he kicked everyone out, sat in front of the mirror after washing, and became worried.

?? Dressing up, but also dressing up, very troublesome.

??I am very tired today.

??And, what a distinguished guest.

??I just want to suffer this kind of trouble for Lin Ji.

??Sighed.

??Forget it, this elder brother has a big business, since he has already spoken, let's follow along.

??Yu Luo still picked up the makeup, and opened a few pages of the book. This time, he picked a makeup face more casually, carefully applied the makeup on, and then began to draw the eyebrows.

?? "Hey, why are these eyebrows so short?"

?? Forget it, let's draw.

?? "It seems that the end of the eye is painted too heavily... But, it is also drawn like this in the book."

?? Yu Luo continued to draw red.

??During the last step of drawing vermilion lips, Yuan Niang said that Young Master Lin had returned.

?? This sentence directly made him click outside his lips, and he pulled out a big sum.It's like a bloody mouth.

?? Yuanniang was stunned.

?? "Little... son?"

?? This tone almost didn't recognize the person.

??Yu Luo didn't realize it, but asked joyfully, "Brother Lin is back, where is he?"

"Little, little, little son!" Yuanniang stepped in in a panic, as if she was afraid that his appearance would be seen by others, "You are..."

?? Familiar footsteps sounded outside the door.

?? Yu Luo glanced at the sky outside, and it was really dark.

?? Lin Ji said the time is accurate.

??Yu Luo had been worrying about whether Lin Ji would just leave just now, and he was relieved to see that he really came back as promised, and a little bit of joy appeared in his heart.

?? Yu Luo grinned, leaped past Yuan Niang and threw herself into Lin Ji's arms, and raised her head again: "Brother Lin, have you had dinner yet?"

?? A very white face.

?? A red lip.

??The glaring scarlet almost reaches the back of the ears.

?? It's like eating a dead child.

??Lin Ji couldn't help being stunned.

?? Then he raised his hand and rubbed his head, and replied with a smile, "Not yet, I brought you a sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which is in season."

??Yu Luo happily took the paper bag, "Yuanniang, help me open it, I want to eat it now."

??It seems that the bitter taste of the plantain boiled water still remains in the mouth, just to eat something sweet.

"But the young master, I have to accompany the eldest son and the old lady for dinner..."

"It's okay, I can eat it all." Yu Luo said nonchalantly, "Brother Lin bought it for me specially, and I will eat it all."

?? The latter sentence was addressed to Lin Ji.

?? The attitude is full of flattery.

?? Lin Ji asked him, "Why are you dressing up again? Are you going out?"

?? "I don't go out, it's because my elder brother wants me to dress up, and said that I will meet a distinguished guest tonight. Does it look good?"

??Yu Luo didn't know that a line was drawn on his mouth.

?? This face is paired with this innocent voice, which is indescribably weird.

??Lin Ji frowned a little, brushed his lips, looked at Yuanniang's face as if she was facing an enemy, and shook her head at herself.It means to teach him not to hit Xiaoshizi first.

??"nice."

?? He asked again, "What kind of distinguished guest?"

?? Yuanniang hurriedly tore off the wrapping paper, and the rich sweet smell immediately filled the room.

??Yu Luo didn't answer him, just rushed to the table, twirling two pieces of cake and eating happily, pushed the soft sugar cake to his mouth with his thin white fingertips, took a small bite, and then took the other half have eaten.

?? At the end, he stuck out his tongue and licked his powdered lips.

??Lin Ji felt that his fingertips were inexplicably hot.

?? "Young master, you can't dress like this."

??Yuanniang put the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of the bronze mirror. When she freed up, she asked someone to fetch a basin of water. She wrung out the towel and just wiped away the excess vermilion from the corners of Yu Luo's lips. She raised her hand to get ready. Continue to wipe away the scribbled makeup.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Yu Luo spoke vaguely with something stuffed in her mouth, anxiously obstructing her from erasing it, "It took me a long time to draw it!"

?? Yuanniang glanced at the book next to the futon.

??I was so frightened that I dropped the comb in my hand.

?? This is the make-up book of elegant prostitutes, where did the young master teach people to buy it——The Yu family, how can the big clan be able to dress up in such a fancy way to please people in this fireworks place.

??The little maid who bought the books was called in and reprimanded, but the little maid didn't know the world and was very wronged.

?? Yuanniang wanted to drag him down and beat him up, as if she was really angry.

?? Yu Luo couldn't bear Yuanniang leaving her behind, so he sent her down first, took Yuanniang's hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I asked her to buy it without telling the people in the house, so don't punish her."

?? There was a hint of coquettishness in that tone, "What is a celebrity? I draw it like this. Doesn't it look good?"

?? When asked such a question, Yuanniang didn't know how to answer, "It's not a matter of whether it looks good or not."

?? It cannot be said that it is not good-looking.

?? It can only be said to be extremely ugly.

?? Yuanniang couldn't tell the truth, she just exchanged a tacit understanding with Lin Ji behind her, and silently wiped everything off his face, "Young master, if you want to dress up well, you can tell Yuanniang, I'll go Invite an old lady from the palace for you, don't believe what is written in these messy books in the market."

?? "You are the youngest son of the Yu family. How can you be compared with the boys and girls? Don't ask questions like this. If the old lady and the eldest son listen to it, you will definitely be punished."

??Yu Luo shut her mouth tightly, not daring to mention this matter again.

?? This time, Yuanniang dresses him up hand in hand.

??Because of the urgency of time, she could only do a simple brow drawing and beautification for him. A snow-white jade hairpin was pinned to the hairpin, and a huge oriental bead hung from one end of the hairpin.

??In front of the forehead is a vermilion forehead belt, which is inlaid with white jade like the hairpin. After it is tied to the back of the hair, four small oriental beads fall down along it.

??It looks generous and extravagant.

"Sister Yuan, this hairpin is much heavier than the previous one."

??Yu Luo seemed a little dissatisfied. He shook his head, and the little Dongzhu falling below made a clang, "Change it to another one."

"Young Master, I don't know, this hairpin was given to Yu Niangniang by His Majesty when he was made a noble concubine in the early years. Yu Niangniang became a queen, so she danced a few tricks and gave it to the mansion. It is precious and beautiful. Very well, young master, don’t think it’s too heavy.”

?? "Really." He hesitated.

??So he turned his head, looked at Lin Ji behind him, and asked, "Brother Lin, do I look good like this?"

??Beside the dim candlelight, Lin Ji was still wearing that plain white long gown, just like when they first met.

?? "Well, it looks good."

??Lin Ji seemed to follow Yuanniang's words.

??The tone is very flat.

?? However, good-looking on the line.

??Yu Luo turned her head happily, and then touched Dongzhu in the mirror, "Okay, let's use this hairpin."

?? Yuanniang breathed a sigh of relief, and cast a thankful look at Lin Ji.

?? Leaning his back against the wall, he looked at Yu Luo, who was dressed luxuriously and well-dressed in the bronze mirror, and couldn't help but glance at it again.

?? "Brother Lin also eat with us?"

?? Yu Luo asked.

?? "Today the Eldest Young Master is here, so it will be inconvenient for Mr. Lin to pass by." Yuan Niang straightened his hair for him, and nodded with satisfaction, knowing that Yu Luosu came to regard this young man very seriously, and feared that he would be dissatisfied. Tempered, he comforted him according to his will, "Don't worry, young master, I will take good care of Mr. Lin's diet, and the dishes on the table are prepared in the small kitchen, and the selected ones will be given to him. This is a bit out of order Yes, young master, don't complain to the old lady."

?? "No complaint, no complaint."

?? Yu Luo was happy before it was too late, "Choose the best one and give it away, pick the best one and give it away."

??He went too far, and caught Lin Ji's gaze unexpectedly.

??Lin Ji didn't seem to expect him to turn around suddenly, and turned his eyes a little unnaturally, and then smiled, "It's not necessary, just follow the rules." When he said this, he looked at Yuanniang.

?? Yuanniang also gratefully cast another glance at Young Master Lin.

??Since Young Master Lin came, Third Young Master Yu seems to have become a lot easier to serve.

?? Yuanniang was very happy, and finally went to get a deep crimson Cantonese embroidered gown and tea white lotus embroidered double breasts for Yu Luo to wear, together with a pair of light beige shoes.

?? It is extremely expensive.

?? The next person came to report that the eldest son had already arrived outside the gate of the mansion, and there seemed to be others who got off the sedan chair together.

??This is probably the "honored guest" that Yu Ze talked about.

??***

?? As soon as the door of the mansion was opened, the old lady came out from the main hall leaning on crutches, and walked down the steps to greet her.

??Yu Ze was wearing an imposing bright blue robe, with a few fishes embroidered with silver thread at the tail of the robe.He was so tall that he didn't look like a civil servant at all, and he looked heroic.

?? But he stretched out his hand to lead the way to the people behind him, "This way please."

??The eldest son of the Yu family, who has always been very proud of himself, has such a polite time. The maidservants in Yu's mansion have never seen it before. They can only stand by the side with their heads down and hold rows of lanterns for them. The road was brightly lit.

??The person who came took off the hood and untied the cloak, as if he had rushed all the way.

??The dress is not as luxurious as Yu Ze, but it has a bit of arrogance.

?? Mrs. Yu sent away all the outsiders first, leaving only a few waiters with tight mouths, and then started to serve the food.

?? "The little prince came from a long way, it's really hard work." Yu Ze has always had a wink in his work. He taught people to present different dishes in front of the old lady and then in front of this distinguished guest. "It's not as good as today. Rest in our Hou Mansion for now."

?? "Brother Yu is polite. My brother still has some things to order, I have to go back to my house to deal with it."

?? Hearing the voice, he was clearly still a teenager.

?? Yes, this little prince Pei is the youngest son of the old prince, 12 years younger than his elder brother.This year is only sixteen.

?? Very young, never on marriage.

?? But if you want to talk about it, you can.

??Yu Ze filled Pei Hanlin with wine, thinking in his heart: Since the King of Yunnan has this intention, he wants to marry their Yu family.This is a great thing, and it can solve his current predicament of being excluded from the cabinet. It is a long drought and rain.

??Pei Hanlin did not drink the wine directly, but only took a small sip.

?? He looked at the Yu mansion, and he also had some thoughts in his heart.

??The name of the third son of the Yu family has long spread throughout Jinling City.

?? It was rejected by the king of Guangling County.

?? He has already found out clearly.

??The youngest of the Yu family has no ink in his stomach, he can't write well, and he has a bad temper. If the old lady didn't take care of him, he might have caused troubles in Jinling City every day for these years.

?? I heard that I am not good at looks, and I am also jealous.

?? Xiaojun Wang Qiantou had just retired and married the Li family. Not long after, he found someone to stab him in the middle of the night.

??Pei Hanlin was very displeased, and seeing Yu Ze's ecstatic eyes now, he was even more displeased.

?? It was as if he wanted to let them get married immediately, for fear that he would go back on his word.

??What kind of a guy is Wei Wenxu? He was originally a county king with no real power on the border.As soon as the carp jumped over the dragon gate and came to Jinling City, they swaggered.

?? Have been divorced by such a person.

?? Even let me marry.

??The elder brother asked him to protect Mrs. Yu, but he dared not refuse.

?? But this important matter of marriage was thrown in so hastily, which really made him feel depressed.

?? If you want to help Mrs. Yu, you can do it. Is it necessary to use your brother's marriage as a bargaining chip!

??Pei Hanlin suppressed the fire in his heart, and remained silent throughout.

"Where is the third young master?"

?? The old lady asked the steward, "There are no rules, the food is already served, why don't you invite the third son up quickly."

The author has something to say:
