Qingshi Town.
In front of Jin's house.
When Wang Miaomiao and Lin Yu walked over, they saw a row of carriages parked in front of the mansion from afar.
The servants were carrying things in and out, and the ruts of the carriages were very obvious on the ground. It seemed that the things loaded on the carriages were not light.
"Why does the Jin family look like they're moving?"
Wang Miaomiao saw this situation with confusion in her eyes. She pursed her lips and spoke out her guess directly, then looked at Lin Yu beside her.
Lin Yu's expression also became more serious. He frowned slightly and said, "Let's go to the mansion to pay our respects first."
Hearing this, Wang Miaomiao nodded.
The two of them walked quickly to the gate of the Jin family mansion and explained their purpose to the doorman.
When the doorman saw Lin Yu dressed like a scholar and that he was the son of an old friend of his master, he did not dare to refuse and quickly agreed and went into the mansion to report.
Wang Miaomiao slowed down her pace, followed behind Lin Yu to reduce her presence, and did not speak a word throughout the whole process.
At this time, seeing the doorman hurried into the mansion, the two stood in front of the door and waited quietly.
While Wang Miaomiao and the others were still there, they secretly focused their attention on the servants who were moving things a few steps away.
Then they heard the housekeeper who was in charge of overseeing their transportation constantly reminding them: "Be careful, this is the lady's thing. If you break it, you can't afford to pay for it even if you die."
He then said, "This is an antique from the master's collection. Please handle it with care. Do you hear me?"
"Yes, Butler Bai, I understand." The servant responded repeatedly, and his hands moved more gently, trying his best to keep the box in his hands from being bumped.
Hearing these words, Wang Miaomiao lowered her eyes and thought, feeling that her previous guess might be about 50% to 60% correct, but she didn't know what had happened that caused the Jin family to leave so suddenly.
At this moment, the doorman who had just gone to announce the news came out quickly, smiling and saying, "Sir, the master wants you to come in."
After he finished speaking, he bowed very attentively and said, "I will lead the way for you."
Lin Yu smiled slightly when he heard that and nodded slightly in response, looking very cheerful and cheerful.
The doorman's smile deepened when he saw this. He turned around and led the two of them through the flowers and willows, to the back hall of the mansion, and then through several corridors to the pavilion in the garden.
"Master, the person has been brought here."
Jin Duobao was sitting in the pavilion, wearing a golden robe and holding a teacup. He listened to the music played by the musicians opposite him with his eyes half closed. The music was quiet and he felt particularly relaxed in this hot weather.
At this moment, after hearing the servant's report, he slowly opened his eyes and looked towards Lin Yu and the other person outside the pavilion.
Lin Yu stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Uncle Jin, I, Lin Yu, have come to visit you specially."
Jin Duobao smiled cheerfully and stood up to help him. His round, fair face looked particularly kind as he said, "My dear nephew, why are you the only one here? Don't you see your brother?"
Lin Yu straightened up and explained in a gentle voice, "Uncle Jin, my father has been ill in bed for some time and can't travel, so I'm the only one coming to your house this time."
Jin Duobao nodded when he heard this, and asked him to sit down, saying with concern: "Brother Yizhi was fine a few days ago, but what happened during this period?"
As he spoke, he asked a servant to bring a cup of tea to Lin Yu and motioned him to try it.
Lin Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip. He felt the tea was mellow and sweet, so he smiled and praised it.
Then he put down the teacup and said, "Uncle Jin, to be honest, some unexpected events have occurred in the past few days. I came to you this time to ask you about some situations."
Lin Yu briefly described the incident that happened in Dashi Village a few days ago, and then said, "Uncle Jin, you are well-informed in this town. Do you know where this group of people came from?"
Jin Duobao lifted his large robe, took a sip of tea, and put it down again. He raised his eyes and gestured to the servants around the pavilion, saying, "You can leave first."
The musicians who were playing the music stopped and the servants who were serving nearby all withdrew and left the pavilion.
At this time, only Jin Duobao, Lin Yu and Wang Miaomiao were left in the pavilion of the garden.
Jin Duobao looked at the girl in white standing behind Lin Yu, who had not spoken since she walked in, and said with a smile: "My dear nephew, who is this?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu glanced at Wang Miaomiao, lowered his eyes, and explained with a smile, "This is my father's... student. He grew up with me and is no stranger. Uncle Jin doesn't need to worry."
Hearing this, Wang Miaomiao looked up at Lin Yu's back without saying a word.
I didn't realize it! This guy lies without blinking.
Jin Duobao smiled when he heard this, and looked at his friend's son with a playful look in his eyes, but when he saw Lin Yu looking at him like that, his face became calm and he showed no shyness at all.
Just like his serious friend!
Jin Duobao withdrew his gaze in boredom, shook his head and got down to business.
"A few days ago, news spread from the capital of Chen State. The current ruler is ill, and various factions are vying for the throne. Youzhou may be too busy to attend to them."
"The struggle for the throne."
Hearing these four words, Wang Miaomiao's eyes flashed with thought.
In the world plot, the male protagonist is Chen Changfeng, the sixth prince of the Chen Kingdom. As a prince, he has been patient for many years, accumulated connections in the court, and secretly recruited a group of low-level generals. In the end, he fought his way out of the struggle for the throne and sat on the throne.
Before the male protagonist took action to seize the throne, the popular candidates for the throne were the third prince of Chen State, Chen Changlai, and the fifth prince, Chen Changlin.
The former, as the eldest son and with the support of his mother's family, enjoyed great popularity among the civil officials. The latter, being exceptionally brave and favored by the current King of Chen, had the support of a large number of military generals.
Wang Miaomiao recalled the plot and combined it with the news she had just heard, and guessed in her heart that the male protagonist should still be silently enduring, and this dispute over the throne should have nothing to do with him. She was talking about the third prince and the fifth prince.
