Chapter 659: Ordinary Lin Yining
Chapter 659: Ordinary Lin Yining
The melon came unexpectedly, and little Yining immediately closed his mouth, pricked up his ears, and listened attentively.
The two old men also looked at each other subconsciously and frowned involuntarily.
Those onlookers came to the stall next door to buy sesame cakes, and they did not forget to discuss it with great interest, their words were full of enthusiasm for last night's big melon.
"By the way, what exactly does General Chen Du want General Zhenbei to hand over?"
"Who knows? I heard from the waiter at Xiangmanlou that it seems that the Duke of Chen's mansion was robbed last night. General Chen actually thought that it was General Zhenbei who stole it, so he came here to look for it."
"Your statement is not correct. He should think that General Wang stole it. Didn't General Zhenbei go to call him home? He couldn't have sent someone to monitor General Zhenbei. How could he have blocked the way as soon as General Zhenbei arrived?"
"Oh, yes, yes, yes. But General Chen's house lost something, so why did he ask the other two generals for it? This doesn't make sense."
"It's said that His Majesty was alarmed, and finally the three were summoned to the palace overnight."
"..."
The onlookers chatted more and more enthusiastically, and all kinds of speculations emerged one after another.
Xiao Yining listened for a moment and then figured out the two clues.
1: Only my second uncle would be interested in the things Chen Du lost.
2: Chen Du monitors his second uncle at all times.
Of course, there is another hidden clue, that is, her grandfather might not want to be lonely and went to pick up money again.
But now, the little kid is still upset about what happened in the morning.
She looked at her eldest uncle with a puzzled look on her face, and asked in confusion: "Uncle, second uncle went to the palace last night, why did he come back to drink mother's porridge?"
Wang Cheng: ......
The old man looked at the little kid's eyes that were once again filled with grievance, and had no choice but to reply: "Qing Jie'er, your second uncle is hungry."
The old matter was brought up again, and Lin Yuzan glanced at his old rival unhappily.
By then, the stall owner had already put the wontons on the table. He quickly scooped a spoonful of soup, blew it hard, and fed it to his daughter to suppress the bitterness in her mouth.
The little kid was also very appreciative and smiled again.
Seeing this, Lin Yuzan smiled with relief, and the temporary fatherly love that emerged in his heart disappeared. He stuffed the spoon into the child's hand, then sat down calmly, using it as a chair for the child.
Xiao Yining: →_→
The kid rolled his eyes secretly and almost poked the wontons with a spoon, but then he remembered the large banknotes hidden in his sleeves and the task he had received, and stopped himself.
She ate the wontons in a depressed mood, while the onlookers beside her bought some sesame cakes and left with the melons.
The old man behind her glanced at the back of the pedestrian getting farther away and continued the previous topic: "Chen Du has stayed in Beijing for so long, it's time for him to leave."
Wang Cheng echoed sarcastically, "He is worried about Lin Zi. The old man's appointment has not been made yet, and he is not at ease leaving."
Lin Yuzan pursed his lips, looked around casually, lowered his voice, and sneered, "I don't know what Pei Yi brought back that made Chen Du unwilling to even put in the effort on the surface."
Wang Cheng frowned and muttered to himself, "It can't be the tiger talisman, that's a capital crime!"
Xiao Yining: ⊙▽⊙, the notorious bandit turned out to be my fellow villager!
The little kid looked up in astonishment, staring blankly at the two old men chatting, and didn't even notice that the juice from the wontons overflowed from the corners of his mouth and slowly flowed down.
The two old men were still talking to themselves and didn't notice the little kid.
Wang Cheng slowly stirred the wontons, staring at the hot steam dissipating in the air. "Now that the old man has figured out the power of the Chen family, Lin Zi's appointment will only take a day or two. But I guess Lin should go to the Iron Eagle Guard Station to take up his post."
Lin Yuzan's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and he said mercilessly: "Ha! Your brother had to go. Before leaving Yanjing, he publicly stated that he was going to the Dali Temple."
"Yesterday, you saw how stupid he was when he found out that Chenpi was his master. He didn't like anyone being superior to him. He has been away for so long, but he hasn't made any progress at all."
Wang Cheng agreed with this, but he still retorted unwillingly: "Lin Zi fought his way out of this, and now that he has just returned to normal life from the fighting, it is normal for him not to want to get along with the civil officials."
Lin Yuzan sneered repeatedly, with the resentment of the morning, and responded sharply: "I think he has damaged his brain outside and doesn't want to get along with anyone."
Wang Cheng put down the spoon tiredly, turned to look at his old rival, and wanted to speak to ease his anger.
Unexpectedly, as soon as her eyes met her old enemy, she was attracted by the little baby in his arms. She panicked and wiped her face with a handkerchief, cursing, "Shun'an, why are you so careless?"
Lin Yuzan: ...
He lowered his eyes and looked at his daughter's silly smiling round face, and her breasts were dotted with juice and gave off a faint fragrance.
The old man's calm expression finally cracked, and he said angrily: "Qing Jie'er, this is your only school uniform!"
Wang Cheng angrily defended her: "What did Qingjie do? It was you who neglected to feed her."
The kid's only two sets of autumn school uniforms were both soiled within half an hour of being worn, and both were closely related to Wang Lin.
At this moment, little Yining sighed, "Sister Qing is going to school naked!"
Wang and Lin looked at each other speechlessly and shouted in unison: "Shut up!"
A good breakfast was ruined because of the little kid. The two old men had no choice but to change their itinerary. After quickly finishing the wontons, they went to the shelter of the unlucky "Chen You" - Chen Lang's small house.
Chen Lang is the uncle of Chen Pi, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He currently works as an official in Dali Temple and is half a fellow villager of the Wang and Lin families.
He saw the two of them coming over early in the morning and showed great enthusiasm, but when he saw the baby in Lin Yuzan's arms, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
The reason is simple. His somewhat abnormal nephew Chenpi is still obsessed with finding an opportunity to talk to Xiaowa in private. After spending many days with Wang and Lin, this idea has become even stronger.
Lin Yuzan did not miss the subtle expression on Chen Lang's face. Although he was puzzled, he did not show it on the surface. He explained with a little embarrassment: "Master Chen, we came to see Brother Chen, and by the way... by the way, let's borrow a basin of well water to wash my daughter's coat."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lang subconsciously looked at the kid's clothes.
The little kid quickly covered his chest and said in a baby voice, "Uncle, don't look at me!"
Chen Lang: ...
Isn't she just an ordinary little girl?
How could it be as unusual as my nephew said?
The man thought so and bowed to apologize: "Princess Le'an is teaching me a lesson, and it is my humble servant who is disrespectful!"
Seeing this, the little kid nodded with satisfaction and announced like a little adult: "Stand up! This princess forgives you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Lang responded respectfully amid the wry smiles of the two old men: "Thank you, Princess, for your magnanimity and for not punishing me!"
After he apologized, he welcomed the three uninvited guests into the house. He also walked to Lin Yuzan's side and whispered sympathetically: "Mr. Lin, your daughter is in a prominent position now, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to say anything too harsh!"
The old man remained silent, giving him an expression as if he wanted to say something but stopped. Under the accusing gaze of the little boy, he quickly put on a forced smile.
Chen Lang patted his shoulder in understanding, and became more and more convinced that little Yining was just an ordinary kid, and not at all the little prodigy with a mind as smart as a demon as his nephew said.
Chen Lang: There is indeed something wrong with his nephew Chenpi!
Xiao Yining: Her father is making her take the blame again!
