Chapter 658: The Old Man 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 + Puff Puff Puff╮(﹀﹀")╭
At this moment, the Shangguan grandparents and grandchildren had been escorted away. When Wang and Lin accompanied them back to the palace, only the mottled bloodstains on the stone slabs still told of the thrilling tragedy that had just happened.
Lin Yuzan folded his hands across his chest, and after only a few steps, he had a plan in mind.
He stared at the bloodstains and said in a deep voice: "It seems that we have to ask Pei Yi for help again. Since we have already alerted the enemy, we don't have to be timid anymore."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Cheng understood the plan in his old rival's mind. His handsome face showed a gentle smile: "That's not enough. Sister Qing has to help us two old bones to turn the tables. We can have a good time before we can still play the pig and eat the tiger."
Lin Yuzan's mind flashed with the face of his unfilial daughter, and he couldn't help but feel a headache. He sighed helplessly, and with the tiredness of being a father, he urged: "Go back, Sister Qing got up at night, and she has to come to my bedside for a turn."
Wang Cheng glanced at his depressed old rival and couldn't help but chuckle: "Oh? I didn't expect Qingjie to have this habit. Shunan must be alert, lest Qingjie hears something she shouldn't hear, and her father's authority is not right."
Lin Yuzan: (?? ?), this is also a nasty old man.
The two old men's eyes met again, sparks flew, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.
The "culprit" had already fallen into a sweet dream, and was still talking beautifully in his sleep from time to time.
Wan Niang was awakened by the slight noise, and quickly turned around and whispered, "Qing Jie'er, do you want to pee?"
Then, she heard her daughter's murmured response: "Qingjie can take whatever treasures are in Uncle Grandpa's private storehouse! How happy!"
Wan Niang:......
The woman couldn't help laughing: "What a little money-grubber!"
She once again held the baby in her arms, caressing her gently and sending her into a more beautiful dream.
There was no conversation that night. No one knew that only the weak women and children were left at the Lin family's house at night. No one noticed that when the sky turned pale, the men who went out to do business returned quietly.
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the window lattice and fell onto the bed curtains. The faint light illuminated the saliva dripping from the corners of the baby's mouth.
Lin Yuzan sat at the table expressionlessly, with two huge dark circles under his eyes, chewing on the new version of steamed bun that his wife had carefully steamed for him - a green vegetable steamed bun, developed just for his body to nourish his body.
I don't know what kind of bitter juice it is, but it has a malt aroma and is quite refreshing and can reduce internal heat, and it may even have a detoxifying effect.
Soon, there was a rustling sound from the bed. His lazy girl finally woke up and roared: "Mom, Sister Qing is hungry!"
Xiao Yining: ?ˋ?( ′? ? `? )?ˊ?, the sun is shining brightly and I slept so well!
Lin Yuzan stood up speechlessly, opened the bed curtain, and said mercilessly: "Even if you are hungry, just bear with it for your father. Your mother is making breakfast for you in the kitchen."
Xiao Yining: ∑( ̄□ ̄;), this is a bolt from the blue!
The little girl woke up instantly, blinking her sleepy eyes, stretched out her little hand to hold the old man's sleeve, and said coquettishly: "Dad, Qingjie ate enough in her dream, you can wait, and go to the corner with uncle to eat wontons."
As soon as she finished speaking, her little hand was hit lightly by her father.
Lin Yuzan said with an unhappy look: "Don't let your mother down."
Xiao Yining: (?_?)
This was too much of a thought. Her mother's cooking skills were up and down, and after practicing for a year she still hadn't even stepped into the door of the Novice Village.
The little girl was so distracted by the unknown breakfast that she didn't care at all that it was the old man who cleaned up for her this morning.
Until a large silver bill appeared and was carefully stuffed into the cuff of the little boy's sleeve by the old man.
She just woke up from her dream and stared at her father in surprise: "Dad, you are being a wild and carefree monk again!"
Lin Yuzan: ...
At this time, Xiao Yining finally realized that something was wrong.
She peered around the room and asked in confusion, "Dad, where are Aunt Zhao and Sister Qiuyi?"
Lin Yuzan glared at her unhappily and said, "Dad asked them to prepare your carriage."
Little Yining immediately became unhappy: "Dad is lying to a three-year-old! Sister Yu Ke has done a great job of decorating the place. There's no need to decorate it again."
The old man's blood pressure soared again. After enduring for a long time, he suppressed the itch in his palm and said helplessly, "Dad has something to tell you, so I have to send them away."
Unexpectedly, the little kid blinked his bright eyes in surprise and asked expectantly, "Dad, have you asked Uncle Grandpa for a birthday gift?"
When Lin Yuzan heard this, he immediately became angry: "No! Why are you asking this, Dad?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the little kid in his arms pouted and pretended to cry sadly: "Dad is not filial, and Uncle Grandpa is also Dad's elder!"
Lin Yuzan: (* ̄m ̄), what kind of elder is that old man?
The old man's already lingering resentment was once again aroused by his daughter's disloyal attitude, and it permeated the air and filled the entire room.
Just at this moment, Wan Niang walked into the main room carrying freshly baked green porridge.
She had seen her daughter's sad look, so she quickly put down her food, took her daughter from her husband's arms, and touched her little round face with concern: "Qingjie, what's wrong?"
Lin Yuzan no longer had any burden on him, and once again turned away in anger, with his back to the mother and daughter, but he still did not forget to respond to his wife: "Qing Jie'er is hungry!"
Little Yining quickly smiled sweetly and retorted firmly: "Mom, Sister Qing is not hungry!"
Wan Niang couldn't help but smile. Looking at the father and daughter who were quarreling again, she decisively chose to believe her husband's words.
She said softly, "Qingjie woke up at the perfect time. Mother has cooked the porridge and it's just cooled down enough to eat."
As she spoke, she picked up a spoonful of green porridge under her daughter's horrified eyes, and brought it to her daughter's mouth, saying expectantly, "Qingjie, try it. Your second uncle said that the porridge cooked by mother is delicious!"
Little Yining's round face wrinkled into a ball, staring at the green porridge with a fresh fragrance but strange color, full of suspicion: "Mom, did my second uncle really say it tastes good?"
Wan Niang nodded in response, with a hint of complaint in her tone: "Your second uncle said that this porridge is sweet. He drank five big bowls before going to the morning court. Fortunately, he left one bowl for mother, otherwise Qingjie would not be able to taste it!"
The little girl was skeptical, but still slowly opened her mouth under her mother's loving gaze.
Lin Yuzan also turned around in confusion at this time. He had not noticed the color of the porridge when he was holding his daughter. When he saw the green porridge, he was shocked and shouted to stop it: "Wan Niang, don't give it to Qing Jie'er!"
However, it was too late. The little kid took a sip and the strong bitterness suddenly exploded on the tip of his tongue and quickly spread to his entire mouth.
Xiao Yining: ⊙_⊙
The next moment, a deafening cry suddenly rang out and reached the sky.
At the same time, Lin Yuzan's roar also resounded over the Lin family: "Wang Lin..."
The Wang family was also completely awakened by the shocking movement of the Lin family. The two families entered a noisy morning because of Wang Lin's outrageous actions and could not calm down for a long time.
Finally, the little boy was appeased by a meal of three cents worth of wontons, and followed the two old men into the new carriage to the nearest morning market.
Wang Cheng looked helpless. He glanced at his old rival, whose face was still livid, and then turned his gaze to his niece who kept sticking out her tongue. He coaxed her gently, "Qing Jie'er, your mother knows she was wrong. Next time, before giving it to Qing Jie'er, she will definitely try it first. Grandma and uncle have already scolded your mother."
Little Yining turned her head, the tip of her tongue trembling: "Puff puff puff..."
Wang Cheng: ......
He sighed tiredly, picked up the handkerchief and carefully wiped the saliva from the corner of the kid's mouth, then turned to his old rival and said, "My mother and Wan Niang have gone to the palace gate to settle accounts with Lin Zi. With my father here, Lin Zi will definitely be in big trouble."
"Humph!"
Lin Yuzan snorted coldly, still taking his anger out on this man.
Seeing that no one answered, Wang Cheng, the unjust victim, had to shut his mouth in disappointment and wait for the next opportunity to speak.
The carriage fell into silence, carrying an awkward atmosphere as it slowly drove towards the bustling morning market.
Soon, the cries of vendors could be heard everywhere, the aroma of various breakfasts filled the air, and pedestrians dressed in various costumes were walking through the hustle and bustle.
Lin Yuzan's expression softened slightly as he cursed, but he couldn't hold back his temper, and he gently scolded his daughter who was still sticking out her tongue, "Qing Jie'er, shut up. There are flying insects here, be careful not to get them on your tongue and eat them."
"Puff puff......"
Little Yining immediately complained in dissatisfaction: "Dad is so bad, even worse than Mom!"
Wang Cheng felt relieved when he saw the two finally spoke, and tried to communicate again: "Qing Jie'er, don't talk nonsense. Last night, your father asked your uncle what birthday gift you wanted, and he was scolded by your uncle."
However, to his surprise, the little kid did not ask his old rival questions as expected. Instead, he was slightly stunned, and tears slowly overflowed from his red and swollen eyes again.
Little Yining was really hurt by the old baby. She cried loudly as if she was abandoned: "Uncle doesn't like Sister Qing anymore!"
Wang and Lin: ......
The two old men were speechless and started coaxing the baby again.
"Qingjie, you are wrong. Your uncle just doesn't like your father, not Qingjie." Wang Cheng explained.
Lin Yuzan also spoke helplessly: "Your uncle wanted Dad to prepare a birthday gift for him, but Dad didn't agree."
Xiao Yining: (⊙?⊙)?
As soon as he finished speaking, the crying stopped. The little kid looked at the two old men in surprise, only to see them looking at each other with bitter smiles. It was obvious that what he had just said was not false at all.
A storm suddenly blew up in her mind, and she asked subconsciously: "Dad, does Uncle Grandpa like you?"
Lin Yuzan: Damn it, that old man is clearly treating him like an animal!
The old man glanced at his daughter with great depression and gave a pertinent answer: "The emperor cares about all the people in the world, so father Yu naturally treats everyone equally."
The little kid summed it up by rounding it off: "Oh, so it turns out that Uncle Grandpa has Dad in his heart."
Lin Yuzan: ?_?
Wang Cheng almost laughed out loud, but he noticed the murderous look from his old rival, so he quickly covered his mouth with his fist, coughed heavily a few times, and said to the little kid, "Qing Jie'er, birthday gifts require sincerity from the heart. As long as the intention is there, your uncle will like whatever you give."
When little Yining heard this, her little head tilted down weakly. She naturally knew such a simple truth, but she just wanted to give the old baby something he liked, otherwise how could she be worthy of his love.
Seeing the little boy's lost look, Lin Yuzan's old father's anger rose again. He suppressed his urge to be sarcastic and said, "Last night, Dad has mentioned to Chief Steward Pei that he and Sister Qing will prepare a birthday gift for the emperor. Dad plans to give the emperor a picture of his 100th birthday. When the time comes, Sister Qing will write a few characters of longevity on it to show her love."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yining immediately smiled like a flower, radiating light like a sunflower, dispelling the haze, and she loudly agreed: "Okay!"
Lin Yuzan turned his eyes away and tried to calm down the anger in his heart. Unexpectedly, his daughter's next words almost made him collapse again.
I only heard the little kid say in a baby voice: "After receiving Dad's birthday gift, Uncle will definitely like Dad even more and keep Dad in his heart all the time."
Lin Yuzan: ..., there is no need to do so!
The old man looked at his daughter again. She had a happy face and was shaking her head. He didn't know what wonderful things were hidden in her little head.
Xiao Yining: As long as old baby treats daddy well, daddy will always be loyal to him and will not be a traitor!
The little girl had beautiful expectations in her mind and didn't notice her father's almost broken face.
Wang Cheng even tried hard to suppress his smile and gently patted his old rival's shoulder, trying to calm his complicated emotions.
Fortunately, at this time, they arrived at the corner of the street where the wonton stall was located. As soon as the carriage stopped, Lin Yuzan left the two of them behind in angrily and got off the carriage first.
The warm atmosphere that was not felt in the car suddenly filled the air, and all kinds of greetings came flooding in.
Wang Cheng held the baby in his arms, standing side by side with his old rival. An aura that was completely different from that of the common people spread out in an instant, attracting the attention of street vendors. However, when the three of them sat down in front of the simple wonton stall on the corner of the street, they all showed contemptuous expressions.
The three of them seemed unaware of the strange looks from all around them. Lin Yuzan naturally took the baby from his old rival's arms and settled her on his lap.
At this time, Xiao Yining started to offend her father again: "Dad, you can't eat meat during the mourning period!"
"..., Dad will feed you." Lin Yuzan replied unhappily.
The kid turned to look at the other old man and asked, "Uncle, after you finish eating, do you want to catch up on your studies?"
Wang Cheng:......
Wang and Lin: This kid talks too much today!
The two old men looked at each other speechlessly, and then said in unison with great tacit understanding: "Sister Qing, shut up!"
"Oh!"
The little kid responded obediently, and then began to stick out his tongue again: "Puff puff puff... Sister Qing is so miserable... Puff puff puff!"
Wang and Lin: ...
The two old men looked at each other and couldn't help but start cursing Wang Lin in their hearts.
Just at this moment, the three of them suddenly heard Wang Lin’s remarks.
"Last night was really thrilling! General Chen Du actually brought a large group of people to Xiangmanlou to surround General Zhenbei."
"Ah? Why is this?"
"I'm not sure about this, but I heard from the guys at Xiangmanlou that General Zhenbei was extremely unlucky. General Wang was called out for a drink, and he didn't return until midnight, so he went to call his father back home, but General Chen blocked him in the building and wouldn't let him leave. He even forced him to hand over something!"
The two adults and the child instantly turned into spectators and glanced sideways at the people who were talking.
