Chapter 142
"Brother Zhao."
In fact, Lin Huabin shouldn't call Zhao Jingyi that way. He is older than Zhao Jingyi.
But the two of them had a good relationship in private, and he would often collect rare and exotic animals, such as parrots and starlings, and give them to Zhao Jingyi.
Zhao Jingyi is easy to talk to everyone. Although he can show off his face, he usually does it on the spot and doesn't worry about it afterwards.
Over time, Lin Huabin figured out his character and became more and more compatible with him.
One day when Zhao Jingyi was drunk, he hugged him and said, "I think you are the best-tempered and kindest person in Jiang Qian. From now on, you and I will treat each other as brothers."
Lin Huabin thought it was what he said when he was drunk. Unexpectedly, Zhao Jingyi still remembered it when he woke up and said, "Although I am younger than you, I just like being an older brother."
The two people became brothers.
He called Zhao Jingyi "Brother Zhao" in one song.
Lin Huabin rushed over with a smile, but felt that Zhao Jingyi's expression was not good, so he said: "Why are you sitting in the front hall? Come on, go to my study to talk."
He said that he was going to help Zhao Jingyi.
Zhao Jingyi was furious, pushed his hand away, and said with a cold face: "Mr. Lin, I treat you as a friend, do you look down on me?"
Lin Huabin frowned and was very confused: "Brother Zhao, how do you say this?"
Zhao Jingyi was furious: "You're still pretending!"
Lin Huabin looked very worried.
There are so many boys watching outside! This Zhao Jingyi, how come he doesn't know how to speak according to the occasion.
He dragged Zhao Jingyi and said, "Let's go to the study to talk. If you are unhappy in any way, I will apologize to you."
"No! I'll say it right here!"
He would not be the first to mention his "daughter". Lin Huabin felt guilty. He should understand what he was talking about!
"Ahem."
Lin Huabin had no choice but to hint to the boy who was following him and quickly close the door.
The boy didn't even pour the tea, so he bowed his head and exited, closing the door.
Then I heard the voice of Zhao Jingyi alone inside... scolding their master so much.
Lin Huabin had to coax Zhao Jingyi: "...where did you hear this bastard thing? How could I look down on Brother Zhao."
"If I looked down on you, I wouldn't think of you first when I see precious peonies or rare parrots."
"If you say that, you don't take me seriously."
Lin Huabin was still very sad. He looked very kind, but when his eyes were lowered, he was a bit unbearable.
After Zhao Jingyi finished scolding him, he thought of his friends for so many years and said, "If you had not let me down, I wouldn't come to you today!"
"Brother Zhao, you are wronged."
Lin Huabin sighed: "What on earth do you mean?"
Zhao Jingyi snorted coldly and whispered: "You are not good to my daughter!"
Lin Huabin was stunned.
So you came here because of Yun Wan's matter?
He frowned and said: "Yun Wan has always lived a good life in my house. The old lady even personally invited Aunt Fan around her to come and educate Yun Wan. This is a treatment that no other girl in my family has. How could I treat her like this? Is she bad?"
Zhao Jingyi said: "I know your old lady's character, but where is your wife!"
"You still don't know about Ci'en Temple?"
Lin Huabin thought for a while, he knew, but Zheng said it was no big deal.
He frowned: "What happened in Ci'en Temple?"
Zhao Jingyi was about to lose his temper again.
I still don’t know what happened, so ask him instead!
Lin Huabin stood up first and steadied Zhao Jingyi: "Brother Zhao, it was my negligence. Don't worry, I will never wrong Yun Wan. I will give you an explanation tomorrow."
Zhao Jingyi became more able to speak now: "You said so. Then I'll see how you behave first. Hum, I have to go back to feed the birds, so I'll leave first."
"I send you."
Zhao Jingyi waved his sleeves and walked away: "Farewell." Before leaving, he said: "If this happens again, don't blame me for making everyone lose face!"
"No, no."
"It won't be the best. I'll have a drink with you some other time. I have a jar of 10-year-old daughter's red that I'm about to open."
"Okay, okay."
Lin Huabin felt a little uneasy after seeing Zhao Jingyi off. King Huan, this uncle, is casual and frank if you say it nicely, but if you say it badly...
Many things have to follow Zhao Jingyi.
Lin Huabin returned to the inner courtyard to find Mrs. Zheng.
Mrs. Zheng is still taking care of the accounts, and she is very tired now that she is taking care of everything in the house.
Without even raising her head, she asked Lin Huabin: "What does Mr. Zhao want from you? Do you want you to collect birds, or do you want to drink with you?"
Zhao Jingyi's mind is empty, just going back and forth.
"go out."
Lin Huabin's voice was so cold that Fan's mother and the maids in the room were frightened.
Zheng's heart also sank, she looked up at him and pursed her lips.
After the servants left, she stood up and said, "Master, what's wrong with you? Are you angry with Master Zhao?"
Lin Huabin pushed her away and said, "Tell me carefully about Ci'en Temple."
Zheng's mind was spinning quickly: "What does the incident at Ci'en Temple have to do with Mr. Zhao?"
Why did you come back to get angry with her over this matter?
Lin Huabin paused, sat down slowly and said: "I asked Zhao Jingyi to find out where the prince was. It would be better for you to bring your two daughters to make a fuss in Ci'en Temple. I made an agreement with Zhao Jingyi... He is now He refused to tell me about the prince and made me sound useless."
"Do you think it matters?"
"So many girls from official families have gone to Ci'en Temple. If something happens to our Lin family, how can I still have the nerve to ask about the prince in the future!"
Zheng was very surprised: "Your Highness has heard about our Lin Mansion, and also knows about Yun Jiao?"
Lin Huabin said solemnly: "Is now the time to talk about this!"
"If you don't make it clear to me, you will all stop thinking about the palace in the future. I will choose a husband for Jiaoer now and marry her off by the end of the year!"
"Master! Listen to what you said!"
Mrs. Zheng was heartbroken: "Jiao'er has just grown hairpins. Even if she gets married into the palace, she won't be able to stay with me for much longer. You still want to marry her off casually, at the end of the year. What will happen to me in the future?"
Unless her daughter marries into a high position, she is reluctant to marry off her daughter casually.
Lin Huabin stared at Zheng with a cold face.
He used to have a good temper, but since his eldest daughter came home, he always loses his temper.
Mrs. Zheng felt uncomfortable, but she still didn't dare to disobey her husband. She said helplessly: "Isn't it because of Yun Wan's trip to the countryside when she was a child? Is my concubine still blocking everyone's mouth? Besides, when I saw the girls talking, Right and wrong, why don’t you send everyone away quickly and come back with your two daughters.”
"What else can I do!"
"Is it possible to surround Ci'en Temple and turn it into the Lin family's court, and then punish those talkative girls?"
Lin Huabin gradually understood what was going on, and he no longer blamed Zheng.
People outside would say that they are uneducated, and the Lin family really can't control them.
Ms. Zheng started to cry: "I didn't want to drive her away at that time...but I also saw the red. I didn't want to keep Jiao'er."
"What's wrong with me for my own children!"
Lin Huabin hugged her and said, "Okay, stop crying. I don't blame you."
"Human beings are born with evil nature. Yun Wan was not sensible when she was a child. Don't go to trouble-making places in the future. If the prince has heard of it, none of the girls from the Lin family will be able to catch his eye!"
Mrs. Zheng wiped away her tears and asked, "What are you saying in the palace? The prince is not young yet, and the emperor and the queen have not married yet, and even Grandma Wang from the palace is not in a hurry?"
Lin Huabin said warmly: "Why are you not in a hurry? Zhao Jingyi is very anxious, but he is very tight-lipped and refuses to talk about the affairs of the palace. Even now, Grandma Wang has not heard of any mistress or girl she has met."
"I'll ask again when I get a chance."
The couple are in harmony again.
In the evening, Lin Huabin had some government affairs to deal with, so he went to the study. After thinking about it, he felt something was wrong and told the waiter: "Call Mother Zhao to come over."
You can't just listen to Zheng's words, but also what Zhao's mother said.
Zhao Jingyi lost his temper, maybe it wasn't as easy as Zheng said.
