Chapter 931 He Didn’t Come Back…
When Nanbao heard Jiang Lianzhu say that Lin Ziji might come to the palace, she clapped her hands and cheered, "Oh, it's been a long time since I saw Brother Ziji! I'll go outside to greet him..."
Erbao also followed Nanbao and ran out.
After a while, the two little guys came in, one on each side, flanking Mrs. Lin.
The two little guys were holding a big golden pig in their hands.
Bigger than their faces!
Both of them seemed to be unable to let go.
Before entering the house, he said happily to Jiang Lianzhu, "Mom, Aunt Lin gave us a big golden pig. The pig's belly is empty. She told us to put our New Year's money in it. It can be filled with gold leaves, gold melon seeds, gold peanuts, and even silver..."
Jiang Lianzhu smiled and said, "Have you guys celebrated the New Year with Aunt Lin? You're not allowed to accept gifts if you haven't."
Mrs. Lin interrupted, "Greetings, greetings! Happy New Year to you both as soon as we meet. These two little guys are so charming. I brought them these golden pigs especially for the occasion. Come, come, here's some more gold leaves for you to put in your money jars."
Each person received a handful of thick gold leaves.
"Thank you, Auntie Lin." Nanbao kissed it and took it away.
The second baby is not far behind.
Jiang Lianzhu invited Mrs. Lin into the house and had someone serve her good tea.
The room was warm with the best silver charcoal burning inside. Mrs. Lin took off her outer robe and the maid held it for her outside the door.
Mrs. Lin wished Jiang Lianzhu a happy new year and asked how she was doing.
We chatted for a while about daily matters.
Jiang Lianzhu couldn't wait for Lin Ziji to come over.
"Where is Ziji? Is he still in the front palace?" I thought he had gone to Dabao in the imperial study first.
Mrs. Lin's smile suddenly froze.
"Ziji, he didn't come back..."
Jiang Lianzhu asked, "What's going on? Didn't he agree to come back for the New Year? Could it be that there's something urgent going on and they sent him on again?"
Mrs. Lin shook her head. "No, everything is going smoothly at the company now. There's nothing urgent or difficult. But he hasn't come back yet, and there hasn't been a single letter. I don't know what's going on outside. If he ran into any difficulties and couldn't come back in time, he would usually send a letter. But there's no letter. In the days leading up to the New Year, I even sent people to Haikou Port to inquire, but they didn't find any clues. I don't know where the child has gone to play again, and the old housekeeper doesn't care about him... Sigh."
She said this because she treated Jiang Lianzhu as her own.
If it were someone else, not a single word would be leaked. She only has this one son, and if anything happens to him, there will be chaos within the Lin Company, and many people will have ulterior motives.
"With the old butler by his side, he shouldn't be in any danger." Jiang Lianzhu was a little disappointed.
This is not coming back!
Besides being disappointed, I was also inexplicably worried.
Her eyelids began to twitch.
Every time this happens it's a sign that nothing good is going to happen.
Mrs. Lin is usually a gentle, stable and introverted person, but now she can't hold it in front of Jiang Lianzhu.
She sighed and said, "My Lady Princess, you see I don't look well. I have dark circles under my eyes, right? Even powder can't cover them up. It's because I haven't slept well these past few days. I often have nightmares at night. I dreamed that my son was suffering, that he fell into the water, and I didn't know where he went. On the first day of the new year, I went to the royal temple and spent a lot of money to buy the first stick of incense. Master Dazhi told me a fortune..."
Having said this, Mrs. Lin looked even more uneasy.
Jiang Lianzhu asked, "How?"
"Master Dazhi didn't say clearly whether it was good or bad. He said it was a lucky draw and that he was in danger, but he couldn't be sure because there were so many variables. He told me not to worry, saying that Ziji's horoscope showed that he was a blessed person. But how could I not worry? I don't know what will happen in the future, but now he's saying he's in danger? Ziji's health was not good to begin with. If he's in danger, can he survive? If he can't survive, what future will he have? I asked the master exactly where my son was, and the master said he couldn't reveal the secret. I donated another 10,000 taels, and the master said he made an exception and pointed out a path, saying it was in the water..."
If it hadn't been the New Year and they weren't in Fengyang Palace, Mrs. Lin would probably have burst into tears.
I can hardly control my emotions.
Jiang Lianzhu held her hand and injected a stream of magic power into her body.
He comforted her, "Don't worry. Master Dazhi said it was a lucky draw, not a bad one. You're just in danger, not dying right now. You fainted at home, but there's nothing we can do. You still have to take care of yourself. The entire Lin's Company is in your hands. It's now the number one royal merchant in our Da'an Kingdom and is extremely important. You can't get sick."
Mrs. Lin was comforted by Jiang Lianzhu's magic power and her emotions became much more stable.
In addition, she was a remarkable woman who always put the overall situation first, so she quickly returned to normal.
"Well, the princess reminded me, I was just too worried about Ziji. It's good that he didn't get a bad fortune. This may be his fate. It depends on his luck. The master said that the accident happened at sea. The sea is so vast and far away from our Da'an Kingdom. Although I sent people to look for him, I'm not very optimistic. It all depends on his fate. Princess, don't worry, no matter what happens to Ziji, even if he is gone, our Lin's Trading Company will not embarrass you. We will definitely live up to the title of the First Imperial Merchant."
Jiang Lianzhu said, "Well, relax for now. Leave Ziji's affairs to me. I can't just stand by and watch him get into trouble. I have a golden eagle, which makes it easy for me to travel. I'll first calculate his approximate location, and then ride the eagle over to look for him. We can breathe underwater, and even if we have to search the entire ocean, I will help you find Ziji. I want to see him alive or dead. Don't worry."
Mrs. Lin fell to her knees with a thud.
She came here today to pay New Year's greetings for one reason, but her real purpose was to seek help from Jiang Lianzhu.
Outside, people have been saying that Jiang Lianzhu is so powerful that she is as powerful as a fairy who has come down to earth. Regent Liao Jiu is also a warrior of the eighth level. There are no more powerful people in the country of Da'an than this couple.
They also have golden eagles that can travel thousands of miles a day.
Therefore, deep in her heart, she held a tiny hope, hoping that Jiang Lianzhu would help her find her son out of the Lin family's relationship. She knew that by doing so, she would be taking advantage of her own achievements, but she really had no other choice.
Especially since Master Dazhi said that we are in danger now...
She was so worried that she couldn't sleep day and night. Her husband died early and she only had this one son. She couldn't bear it.
Tears welled up in Madam Lin's eyes. "My Lady Princess, you are so kind. I don't ask for anything else. You have a golden eagle that can travel ten thousand miles a day. If you can help search the sea, it will be a blessing. If not, forget it. It's all fate. I am grateful!"
