Chapter 209
Chapter 209
Lin Shan and Song Guanzhou had a secret conversation for nearly an hour. During this hour, Song Guanzhou was extremely frank and talked a lot about himself and expressed his ideas.
There is much more than what I said to Pei An.
She didn't trust Linshan blindly, but because she had seen Linshan's ability and his status in front of the master during the two days of getting along. Even the brothers in the mansion were respectful when they saw him.
In this case, she might as well pass on the message through Linshan rather than telling the Duke directly.
Taking a step back, even if Lin Shan didn't tell anyone about it, as long as I could help her find Xu Lingqiao, it would be much better than her being a living blind and deaf person in Shaohua Garden.
As for Jin Fuyun, she has the identity and ability of the heroine, so she will follow in her footsteps. If she really can't escape the fate, she will end up being beheaded. Just because Jin Fuyun harmed Xu Lingqiao today, she will also risk it all to fight to the death.
She, Song Guanzhou, is not the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary!
In her previous life, she was a social worker, but she never bowed down or pinned her fate on others.
Moreover, in this life, she is the young lady of the mansion——
This is not the identity of any ordinary person who can be bullied by others at will.
Sincerity is the best way to communicate. Besides, Lin Shan is not a crooked person. He came to Pei Jian when he was fifteen years old and has been with him through wind and rain for so many years. He can be said to be a real man.
Song Guanzhou was right about this.
So, Linshan agreed to Song Guanzhou's request, and the next moment, he received a bag of gold and silver handed to him by Song Guanzhou personally.
"Madam, this is——"
"When doing things, you can't be short of money. Take it. Just ask for it when you're done." When Ren Dong came back to get the medicine, he asked someone to bring a foot-long lacquer box and handed it to Lin Shan. "A few days ago, the Tenth Prince gave it to me as a reward. It has been kept in the warehouse. When I saw you today, I felt that it was still a precious gift to a hero."
Lin Shan wanted to refuse, but Song Guanzhou smiled softly, "If I were you, I would wait and see. It's not too late."
When Linshan found the lock, he pressed it lightly, and the bronze lock opened with a "click". He gently opened the lid of the lacquer box, which was covered with a layer of green gauze. After peeling it off, a short sword with a black scabbard and a bronze handle was revealed.
This is a gift that no man can refuse.
Linshan is knowledgeable and experienced, but he cannot resist this simple, elegant, yet very handy short knife.
He held the scabbard with his left hand and drew the knife with his right hand. With a whoosh, the blade, even though it was not sharpened, shone with a cold light, which was chilling and intimidating.
"Good knife!"
"Take it, Linshan, just consider it as making a friend."
The words were sincere, and a strange feeling surged in Lin Shan's heart. It had nothing to do with men and women, nor were they relatives. He just felt inexplicably comfortable. He suddenly laughed, although his face was mostly covered by a beard. "To be honest, I have never made friends with a woman."
Song Guanzhou shrugged slightly, "Friends, it has nothing to do with gender, it just depends on fate."
As if she thought of something, she smiled, "That bastard Qin Er comes to Shaohua Garden every day to tease and quarrel with me. Others always warn him to stay away from me, after all, she is a friend's wife. Some people also told me in private that he is the younger brother of the Crown Princess and a close friend of my husband, so he should stay away. ... But although Qin Er and I disagree from time to time, it is definitely not so shallow."
"Then... is he the young lady's friend?"
Song Guanzhou shook his head slightly, "I don't know, time will tell, maybe one day...regardless of status, wealth or poverty, he and I, you and I, will become close friends."
Lin Shan suddenly burst into laughter. "Young Madam, you are indeed extraordinary. No matter what happens in the future, I will accept this generous gift from you today."
Good thing!
Song Guanzhou was in high spirits, holding up his teacup, "You are indeed a generous person. Let's drink tea instead of wine today. Cheers!"
The night fills the house, and the bright lights warm people's hearts.
Lin Shan stood up and said goodbye, "Young Madam, we have a long time to come, don't worry, I will do my best for my cousin's matter." Song Guanzhou stood up and knelt down, "Thank you Lin Shan."
Qingfang and the others were waiting outside, so they didn't see the master bowing to the servants. However, Linshan leaned aside and only accepted half of the greeting. He held the lacquer box and said, "Madam, you should go and check on the fourth young master. He has been worried about his cousin's affairs for the past two days and has fallen ill."
Song Guanzhou smiled mischievously, "No hurry, I was at Jin Fuyun's place today, he scolded me for a long time, let's leave him alone!"
Seeing this, Linshan stopped trying to persuade him and turned around and strode out of Shaohua Garden.
When they were almost at Zhengxian Pavilion, Linxi, in a hurry as if he had just returned, saw Linshan and called him "Brother Shan".
"Where's my cousin?"
Linxi followed him, and when they returned to their respective rooms, he squeezed into Linshan's house and whispered, "I came back at dinner time, and told the young lady about the inspection of Wanxing Wharf, and asked about the arrangements of the cousin."
"You don't live in the mansion?"
"My cousin was worried about my cousin, and he walked around the buildings. I saw that it was getting dark, so I ran back to report to the young lady."
"What the young lady meant—"
"The young lady asked me to book a room in the Wanhua Tower next to the Green Plum Garden and leave my cousin there."
"What?"
Lin Shan thought he had misheard, while Lin Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "When the young lady arranged this, I also thought she was wrong, but she asked Sister Dong to give me the money and explained a lot of things, such as living there, hiding my real name, and saying that I was forced by my family to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination, but I actually had no intention of taking the imperial examination... and let my cousin act like a dandy boy from a county."
Madam, you know so much!
"That cousin is alone?"
Linxi chuckled and said, "I will come back to change some clothes and pretend to be his servant."
"You better protect my cousin. This is not a simple matter. If what the young lady said really comes true, then this matter must have been deliberately done by someone behind the scenes. In short, you must not fail in your duty."
Linxi responded seriously.
"Brother Shan, don't worry."
Lin Shan wanted to take out some silver and give it to him, but Lin Xi saw this and quickly stopped him, "Young Madam has given it to him, so don't worry."
"She is willing to spend money."
"I didn't know it before, but ever since she went down the well and carried Jinzhu and Aunt Fang out, we brothers all remembered it. It's just that going to the Garden of Myriad Flowers costs a lot, otherwise I wouldn't want the money."
Jinzhu is Linhe's sweetheart and Linqiu's cousin.
Lin Qiu died on the front line of the border. Those of the Lin generation who were present at the time heard Lin Qiu say, "Take good care of Jinzhu." At that time, Jinzhu was serving the Third Young Master. She was a well-behaved and sensible little girl.
I originally thought that when I reached the age, I would go to the lord and ask him to help Linhe and Jinzhu get together.
But who would have thought that the final outcome would be like this——
"Don't worry, the young lady is wealthy now. You can use the money she gave you well. As long as you complete the task, it doesn't matter."
