Number one in the world? Not only everyone was shocked, but even the well-informed Xu Wei was stunned. No wonder the emperor said that no one would dare to bully the Xiao family or Lin San from now on. Just based on the four words "No. 1 in the world" written by Yu's pen, the plaque went to As soon as it is hung in front of the door, it means that civil servants are getting off their sedan chairs and military generals are getting off their horses. Who dares to slack off? Bullying Lin San? joke! If Mr. Lin doesn't bully others, then he should recite Amitabha.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Wanrong hurriedly saluted with a smile. This is a great gift, don't give it up. My father-in-law is very interesting. If something happens to him in the future, I will definitely help him.
All the officials in the palace were shrewd people. Within a few days, the little-known Master Lin, who appeared from nowhere, replaced Su Mubai, the new champion, and became the emperor's new favorite. From an unknown person to "the best in the world", he climbed up the ladder so fast that no one can match him. Everyone was a smart person, and they had already seen something about him. They hurriedly bowed to Master Lin and approached him. For a while, they were flattering and flattering Master Lin, and they praised Master Lin as unparalleled and rare in the world.
Turkic State Master Lu Dongzan walked slowly to Lin Wanrong's side: "Lu Dongzan admires Lin Wanrong for his talent and learning. If I meet you on the battlefield one day, Lu Dongzan will have no regrets even if he dies in battle."
"It's easy to talk, Brother Lu." Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "As long as your Turks don't disturb our people, I guarantee that you will live a long life."
Lu Dongzan gave Lin Wanrong a thumbs up, and they both smiled at the same time, but their thoughts were completely different.
"Wahahahaha——" After retreating from the court, he sat in the carriage and looked at the five golden characters of "The No. 1 Ding in the World". Master Lin pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed proudly, and the face of the nouveau riche could be seen at a glance.
Xu Wei sat next to him and felt funny when he saw his appearance. Suddenly he remembered something and couldn't help but sigh slightly: "Brother Lin, what happened today could have been perfect. If you answer the last question of Princess Nishang correctly, you can enter the palace." , to become a great prince-in-law, but - well, he still lacks some luck!
What does he lack of luck? I say he has too much luck. He meets Xian'er out of nowhere and marries her as his wife. Unexpectedly, she turns out to be a noble princess. Although she seemed angry at the moment. But with her little temper, she will change her mind again within a few days. This time I have made a fortune.
"Mr. Xu, I have something unclear, please give me your advice!" Lin Wanrong put away the emperor's words and said with a frown: "How many princesses does our current emperor have?"
Xu Wei nodded and said: "That's a good question, little brother. It was originally two princesses, but now, there are three."
"Why two people become three people? Mr. Xu, please don't hold back and come and tell me quickly." Lin Wanrong asked anxiously, worried about Xian'er's identity.
Xu Wei sighed and said: "Little brother, I don't know. There were two princesses who were given titles by the emperor. The eldest princess is called Princess Xinxia, and she is the emperor's first daughter. After the emperor ascended the throne in the past, it happened to be the Yi tribe in Yunnan. In order to stabilize the situation on the border, the emperor granted the eldest princess a marriage to the eldest son of the prince of Yunnan, so Princess Xinxia has been living in a remote place for many years. She is now nearly forty years old, and the last time she returned to Beijing for a visit was five years ago. "
This Princess Xinxia is Xian'er's eldest sister. She is older, so she will definitely not be Qingxuan. Lin Wanrong said anxiously: "What about the second princess who was given a title? Could it be Xian'er - oh, it's Princess Nishang !"
Xu Wei smiled and shook his head: "No, no, the second princess's name is Izumo."
"Princess Izumo?" Lin Wanrong said with joy and worry: "Not Princess Nishang?"
Xu Wei nodded: "As for the emperor's children, it is a long story with many twists and turns. After Princess Xinxia, the emperor had two princes. The first one was born to the queen. Unfortunately, when he was ten years old, , died due to an accidental fall from a horse and a broken neck."
Break your neck while riding a horse? Lin Wanrong was surprised. It was such a strange reason, and he was the eldest son of the emperor. Xu Wei seemed to see through his thoughts, shook his head and said: "It's better not to make the royal affairs too clear. The late emperor said that the emperor's eldest grandson fell from his horse and died. That means he fell from his horse and died."
"I understand. Listen to what you said, brother Xu. Does the emperor have a second son?" Lin Wanrong asked.
"The second son of the emperor, it's even more of a pity to talk about it." Xu Wei sighed and said: "Before the death of the late emperor, the emperor personally served him, respected his filial piety and righteousness, and was admired by the world. However, some people couldn't stand him and sent a killer into the palace to assassinate him. The prince died tragically at the hands of a killer in order to protect the emperor. The emperor was nearly forty at the time and was so sad that he fainted on the spot in front of the late emperor's bed. "
Unexpectedly, both the old emperor's sons died in accidents, which is really shocking. Xu Wei cleared his throat and continued: "Later, the emperor passed the throne in front of his bed, and the emperor ascended the throne, but there were only three princesses left. Princess Izumo was the fourth among her brothers and sisters. She was the empress's biological daughter, and she was extremely noble. Princess Xinxia was more than twenty years old when Izumo was born, and the emperor's foundation was not stable. When a strange person came to help him, the emperor gave Princess Izumo to the strange person as his apprentice. After more than twenty years, she was the only one who was old and decayed. I met her once when I was named Princess Izumo when I was six years old."
Is Princess Izumo actually Aoi Uzumaki? Lin Wanrong's heart skipped a beat. What about Xian'er? Why did she become the colorful princess again? Could it be that the old emperor deliberately adopted the adopted daughter in order to deceive Goryeo and the Turks?
"Princess Nishang is the emperor's youngest daughter." Xu Wei sighed softly: "At that time, the emperor's favorite princesses were Izuyun and Nishang. When Izumo was granted the title, the emperor once said with a smile that he planned to The youngest daughter was named Nishang. Unfortunately, something happened before Princess Nishang was granted the title. Her biological mother, Concubine Qin, died trying to protect the emperor. Princess Nishang's whereabouts were unknown. A few days ago, the emperor mentioned that Princess Nishang was back. I didn't expect it to be true."
Concubine Qin? Qin Xianer! I understand, Lin Wanrong suddenly clapped his hands, Xian'er is the emperor's biological daughter, her mother's surname is Qin, so she is called Qin Xian'er. It's so hard for this girl to lie to me. I must spank her when I get home.
"Brother Gang, do you understand now?" Xu Wei said with a smile.
"I understand, I understand!" Lin Wanrong laughed: "Thank you Mr. Xu for your advice. When I move to a new house in a few days, I will invite you over for tea and collect some red envelopes!"
Xu Wei laughed and looked at him and said: "Brother Lin, you are not a mortal now, so don't mention anything about receiving red envelopes. If outsiders hear this, I'm afraid that those who give you gift money will crowd out your family." threshold."
Xu Wei is by no means an alarmist. Mr. Lin is now a very famous person in front of the emperor. There are many people who want to curry favor with him, let alone sending red envelopes. Even if he wants Jinshan, someone will definitely move it for him.
"One more thing." Xu Wei looked at him and smiled and said, "Brother Lin, are you having trouble with your Miss Xiao?"
"Awkward? No!" Lin Wanrong asked strangely: "I was whipped on the school field a few days ago, and it was thanks to her that she gave me medicine. How could there be a quarrel?"
"It's good that there's no quarrel. In the past two days, Miss Zhiqing and Miss Xiao have been inseparable. I saw her frowning, so I thought you had some quarrel with her!"
The eldest lady and Xu Zhiqing are inseparable? Lin Wanrong went out early yesterday morning. I stayed in the palace again last night. In total, I haven't seen the eldest lady for more than two days. I really miss her.
Saying goodbye to Xu Wei at the door, he entered the store and saw Mrs. Song busy with her work. The little maid Huan'er was also helping. When she saw him coming back, she immediately said happily: "Third brother, you are back just in time, come and help!"
"How can I help you?" Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Where's the eldest lady? Why don't you see her?"
"A new batch of perfume was sent from Jinling today, and it will arrive soon. We are blocking the news here. If we let all the ladies and ladies know, our store must be demolished. Third brother, you I don't know, but the ten bottles of our perfume were just put on the shelves yesterday. Hundreds of people were queuing up outside when the first ten bottles were sold out, and the rest were noisy. It was Mrs. Song who promised to notify them as soon as the goods arrived, so everyone dispersed." Huan'er said happily.
Lin Wanrong was no longer surprised by this situation. He smiled and patted the little maid's head and said, "I'm not asking about perfume, I'm asking the eldest lady, why don't you see her?"
"Miss? You said you went out to paint with Miss Xu. Like you, you didn't come back all night." Huan'er replied sheepishly.
draw? These two girls are so laid-back and relaxed. Lin Wanrong wondered when the eldest lady started to be so laid-back and could even let go of things in the store.
"Oh, by the way, third brother, someone just sent you an invitation, saying that you were invited to come over for a banquet!" Huan'er said softly as if she suddenly remembered something.
"Sending an invitation? Going to a banquet?" Lin Wanrong asked curiously: "Who sent it? What banquet are you going to?"
Huan'er shook her head: "I don't know. The servants of that family were very gorgeously dressed, but they were very polite to me. They left the invitation and left. They also said that their master invited you to come and visit me."
Lin Wanrong took the invitation in his hand and saw that the post had gold edges and was gorgeously packaged. When he opened it, he saw a line of small golden characters written on it: "There will be a banquet at the palace at dusk tomorrow. I respectfully invite Mr. Lin San, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, to come at that time. Yours sincerely, Zhao Mingcheng! "[Heaven's Kiss Hand Beat]
King Cheng is hosting a banquet? There was such an unpleasant commotion in Xiangguo Temple that day. Why did he invite me? I just got promoted and his post came to me, so fast. This official business, hypocrisy and treachery, is not as happy as me working as a servant in the Xiao family. He threw the post aside and said with a smile: "I will go in and rest for a while. If the eldest lady comes back, Huan'er, you can calls me!"
Huan'er nodded in agreement. Lin Wanrong stepped forward and was about to enter the room when he suddenly heard a harsh Chinese voice coming from outside: "Excuse me, Master Lin Sanlin, do you live here?"
Lin Wanrong raised his head and saw a Turk with a tall nose and sunken eyes standing at the door asking questions. From that appearance, he seemed to be one of Ashler's men.
"Yes, yes, I am, are you--" Lin Wanrong stepped forward and looked at him.
"On the order of Lord Ashler, I have sent two fine horses of sweat and blood to Lord Lin. Please check them." The Turkic man bent down and said.
Lin Wanrong exclaimed with joy. He would have forgotten it if he didn't mention it. Ashler bribed him with two bloody BMWs, but Xu Changjin exposed it in front of the emperor. The emperor simply refused to do anything and took the jewelry with the BMWs. A reward was given to him. Right now, this Turkic man came specifically to give him a BMW.
In all my life, I have only heard of the name of the sweaty horse, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. Lin Wanrong hurriedly grabbed the Turkic man and said, "Where is the BMW? Take me to see it quickly!"
After going out, I saw two tall horses standing in front of the hall. Their hair was brown and yellow, as soft as satin, with no trace of color. The manes between their waists and backs were faintly golden, shining in the sun. , very conspicuous. The four hooves of the two bloody horses have a ring of white mane, which is really cute.
"Sir, this is the most sacred horse of our Turks, the sweat-blooded horse. Whenever it runs violently, the sweat all over its body is like blood, so it is called the sweat-blooded horse. The two horses given to you are the best among the BMWs. King, my lord, please look at these two horses. Their hooves are like jade, and they look like horses treading on white snow. They seem to come from the horizon. In our Turks, these horses are known as heavenly horses," the Turkic envoy slowly introduced.
Lin Wanrong liked it in his heart, but couldn't show it on his face. He nodded slightly and said: "Yes, the sweaty horse is indeed worthy of its reputation, and it can compete with my Dahua Yunnan horse."
The envoy curled his lips in disdain. What kind of horse is the Yunnan horse? It is ugly, thin and small. How can it be compared with my Turkic horse? Master Lin is really ignorant.
"Thank you for this messenger." Lin Wanrong smiled and took the reins over. Huan'er over there saw the big horse and felt happy and scared, but he heard the third brother say: "Huan'er, please take these two animals out for a walk. , see if you can plow the fields and grind the mill.
The Turkic envoy's nose was so angry that Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "If this BMW can't do the work, then leave one for the eldest lady to use as a ride. Alas, animals that can't work can only be ridden. Eh. "Messenger, why are you still here?"
The Turkic envoy suppressed his anger, took out an invitation from his arms, handed it to Lin Wanrong's hand and said: "Sir, this is an invitation from Lord Ashler. He invites you to attend a bonfire banquet outside the city tomorrow night!"
Bonfire party? Ashler is quite romantic. He couldn't use this time to give me two Turkic beauties. Lin Wanrong laughed aloud and was about to accept the invitation casually when he suddenly remembered that the post King Cheng had just made was an invitation to a banquet at his house tomorrow evening, wasn't it?
When the Turkic envoy saw Master Lin taking the invitation, he thought he had agreed, and hurriedly bowed and left. After staying here for a moment longer, seeing Master Lin insulting the sweat-blooded horse like this, he had the urge to step forward and beat him hard.
Lin Wanrong was still deep in thought, but Huan'er came over happily and said, "Third brother, third brother, are you really an official?"
"Just a minor official, just fooling around." Lin Wanrong said with a smile.
"That's not true." Huan'er pursed her lips and said, "Third brother, you are trying to trick me again. The person who came just now has a high nose and sunken eyes. Is he a barbarian from beyond the Great Wall?"
"Huan'er is indeed well-informed!" Lin Wanrong nodded and said cheerfully: "These are Turks, oh, they are the guys who have been fighting with our Dahua for many years."
"Third brother, even barbarians are trying to please you like this, and you still say you are a minor official? You will lie to us." Huan'er said aggrievedly.
Seeing that the little girl's eyes were red, Mr. Lin could only smile and said: "Okay, that's a high official, a great official, okay?"
Huan'er burst into tears and nodded heavily: "I knew that Third Brother is the most capable person in the world." Immediately, her expression turned gloomy again: "Third Brother, if you become a high official, will you leave us? "
"Why, Huan'er is worried that the third brother will not recognize you in the future?" Lin Wanrong said teasingly: "Don't worry, I will definitely ask you to come when I have a little girl in my room."
Huan'er blushed and shook her head hurriedly: "Third brother, I'm not worried about myself, I'm worried about-"
"What are you worried about?" Lin Wanrong asked curiously.
Huan'er lowered his head and sighed: "I'm worried about the eldest lady and third brother. Although the eldest lady has never mentioned it, we can all see that she really likes you. It's just that she has a stubborn personality and doesn't like you. Express yourself. Third brother, I beg you, don't let the eldest lady down——"
Huan'er said that her eyes were red and tears were about to fall. Lin Wanrong smiled helplessly, "I just became a small official. Why did I look like Chen Shimei? Don't forget, the emperor personally inscribed "No. 1 in the world" "Ding", my servant Ding is doing the right thing.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard a female voice coming from outside: "Hello, I'm sorry to bother you. May I ask, Mr. Lin, do you live here?"
The voice sounded familiar. Huan'er glanced outside and saw a woman in palace clothes standing outside the door. She had dark eyes, skin like milk washed, pink cheeks, and a sweet smile, looking towards her. salute. This woman is so calm and calm that no matter how angry you are, she can't burst out.
"Third brother, I'm looking for you." Just now, he was interceding for the eldest lady, but in the blink of an eye, an exotic beauty came to the door. Huan'er was naturally angry and snorted.
"Ms. Chang Jin, why are you here? Please sit inside, please!" Lin Wanrong walked over and said with a smile.
Xu Changjin was overjoyed and quickly bowed deeply: "Sir, it turns out you really live here. I thought I had found the wrong place."
"That's right, that's right, this is it. This is my home. Please sit inside." Mr. Lin smiled, turned around and shouted: "Huan'er, hurry up and serve tea!"
"Third brother, I'm sorry, we ran out of tea yesterday." Huan'er opened her big eyes and looked at Palace Maid Xu warily. Third brother has become rich and is different from before. Any woman who comes to him is a big girl. The lady's enemy.
Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly. It was really difficult to be serious with the little girl about her thoughts.
Xu Changjin took out an invitation card from his body, smiled and shook his head and said, "Sir, no need, I came here specifically to send you an invitation card. Tomorrow evening, Prince Li Chengcheng will host a banquet on the Jinghu Lake cruise ship. Please come to us!"
