Chapter 261: The Master is Too Ignorant
"Miss, what do you want Xiyang to do?"
"You really want to know?"
"Of course, miss, you should ask me to do something too. I seem to be incapable of doing anything lately."
Before the setting sun, Xiaotao was the most capable person here.
Of course, she is really capable. She is the one who found out everything about Jianjia Courtyard. This ability is not possessed by all servants.
Although she also gave some advice, talking about it on paper is not as thrilling as the actual experience.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just say that the last time Nanny Li from the Marquis of Wu’an’s mansion came over, wasn’t it Xiaotao who found out about it?
It is absolutely true that Xiaotao is Lin Qingjun's "ears".
Lin Qingjun smiled and said, "Don't worry, there will naturally be work for you to do, but now is not the time. You will be of great use when the legitimate son of our Lin family returns. However, Xiaotao, you must be very careful. Our Third Young Master Lin is definitely not that easy to fool."
If she remembered correctly, Xiao Yuan had once suffered a loss at his hands.
If she had not taken out most of her money at that time, Xiao Yuan would have lost his official position because of this young Master Lin.
Lin Qingjun sighed. This backyard was really not a place for people to stay. Couldn't they just live a good life? Why did they have to scheme all the time?
It's really boring.
The setting sun did not return until the next day.
Xiao Tao quickly brought over breakfast, "It's really hot, you must be starving, right?"
Xieyang was not polite and ate one steamed bun in a steamed bun. She was really hungry because the second thing the lady asked her to do was not simple.
But it was done in the end.
Just as she was about to report, Lin Qingjun stopped her and said, "Xiao Tao is right. Eat first. There's no rush. Besides, your return means that your work has been completed. Xieyang, you did a good job. I'll give you a chicken drumstick for lunch."
Xieyang's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Miss."
The chicken leg is nothing. What’s important is getting the lady’s approval, which makes people happy.
Lin Qingjun lowered her head and embroidered the embroidery in her hands carefully.
This time she was going to embroider Nirvana, a broken young phoenix, covered in wounds and dying, looking like it could be killed by just a little finger.
However, the little phoenix's eyes were sharp and full of hope for life.
After keeping a low profile for more than ten years, he finally stood out and was reborn.
The colors used are all dark, including deep black, deep blue, deep red, and deep red flames.
Xieyang, Xiaotao and the others have all seen the painting. Although it is only a draft now, they can tell that it will be a masterpiece.
…
"...Are you saying that what we heard yesterday is true?"
"Yes, Third Young Master, I have inquired about it. The eldest lady's matter is indeed related to Xiao Yuan. Also, it was indeed Xiao Yuan who brought the Crown Prince into the Lin Mansion. However, why the Master did not object, I cannot find out. Third Young Master, it is best for you to ask the Master in person about this matter."
There was impatience in the eyes of the servant Baosheng.
"Third Young Master, what a fool the master is! We clearly told him a month ago not to be impulsive and not to do anything else. You are about to be expelled from the academy. If, if you offend someone, won't your career be ruined?"
This master is too ignorant.
As long as the eldest lady marries into the Marquis of Wu'an peacefully and becomes the Crown Prince's consort, that will be enough.
The Third Young Master can also take advantage of the reputation of the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion to make further progress, which is something that everyone will be happy about.
But who would have thought that the master was so ignorant that he actually sent the eldest daughter to the prince's bed?
Just give it to them. At least they have to get a status from the prince. It's not impossible for them to marry into the prince's family.
But who could have known that in the end, not only would the young lady's innocence be lost, but she wouldn't even be able to enter the Prince's mansion? Not only did she lose the wife, she also lost the army.
At that time, the Third Young Master was at a critical stage in his studies and could not be distracted at all, so I could only put it aside for the time being and wait for him to come back.
But who would have thought that not long after this incident, the prince fell into the water in the Lin Mansion?
Baosheng gritted his teeth. How could this old man be so ignorant? He was already such a grown man, yet he still wanted to cause trouble for the Third Young Master?
The young master returned to Shangjing early yesterday morning, but he did not show up because of the matter concerning the Crown Prince, so I asked him to inquire.
He contacted the spies in the mansion yesterday, but he didn't know who expected it or what happened in detail. He only knew that Concubine Ning had also come, and that Concubine Ning had a very bad temper, saying that if something happened to the prince, it would not be an exaggeration to confiscate the Lin family's property.
But as to why the prince came, the spy had no idea, because the prince's guards were guarding the place and they could not get close to him at all.
Baosheng looked at this elegant and noble young man and felt distressed.
The young man is extremely talented. Academicians from various disciplines all say that he is young and promising, and he is deeply loved by the dean. The dean even wrote a letter personally, saying that he wants to fight for him in front of Master Wen.
If you can win the favor of Master Wen, then this year's top scholar title will be in your pocket.
Thinking of this, Baosheng became excited again.
The talent of the top scholar is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Ordinary meritorious nobles, such as the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, do not need to take imperial examinations to earn a future, because they can rely on the blessings of their ancestors and can live on it for the rest of their lives with just any money they have.
However, if a young man from a noble family has such an honor, it would be icing on the cake, and he would be promoted quickly.
For example, there is a illegitimate son in the Ningguo Mansion. He just passed the examination and became an eighth-rank local official. Only ten years later, he relied on his own abilities to rise all the way to the current fourth-rank official, the same rank as the master.
You know, it was shocking to the whole of Shangjing that a bastard's son could achieve such great achievements.
More importantly, this illegitimate son actually set up his own household, which means that he became the master of his own house. He could be on equal footing with the legitimate masters in the Ningguo Marquis's house.
From this we can see how important it is to take the imperial examination.
Although the Lin Mansion is now a fourth-grade mansion, its foundation is still a little lacking. A strong wind can blow the Lin Mansion down.
Therefore, the third young master attached great importance to the imperial examination this time.
Lin Chengfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, "Could it be that this was really Xiao Yuan's plan? But, why is this?"
He knew that Xiao Yuan was just a poor student favored by his father.
He didn't take this person seriously. He was just a humble man. What benefit could he bring to the Lin family? It was only because his father wanted to gain a good reputation that he kept him by his side.
I originally thought that it would be good for him to please his father, so I just thought of it as a toy.
But who knew that he would harm the Lin family in such a way?
Baosheng said, "Third Master, it is said that it is for the eldest lady."
