Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 258 Great Journey

Lin Zisu looked at it for a moment, and Xie Xi was right. His outfit showed no trace of a long journey at first glance.

However, although the clothes on his body were flat, Lin Zisu could still see the extremely obvious creases on them at a glance.

Moreover, she smelled a sour smell on Xie Xi's body.

Lin Zisu wrinkled her nose, the smile on her face did not diminish, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, there is not much wrong with your clothes, but the smell on your body will give you away."

Hearing this, Xie Xi raised his sleeve and put it in front of his nose, smelled it, and said, "Is there any? Why didn't I smell it?"

Lin Zisu burst out laughing and said jokingly: "You look like you came out of an abalone restaurant. Now my yard is full of the smell of you."

Xie Xi scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I just entered the city, and I only came to see you, but I forgot about this. Although my trip to Guanzhong is not a secret, some people in my house

, it’s better to keep it a secret.”

Lin Zisu was very happy when she heard that he would come to see her as soon as he entered the city.

However, she also knew that Xie Xi was on the emperor's order when he went out. Logically speaking, he should return to the capital as soon as possible after returning to the capital.

Xie Xi went to Guanzhong secretly. After revealing his identity in Guanzhong, it was no longer a secret among the government and the public.

Seeing Lin Yuanzhi, Xie Xi came over with a smile on his face and saluted: "My father-in-law, I have been busy these days and have not come to visit you and my mother-in-law at home. I have prepared these things as gifts for you, my father-in-law."

Accept it."

The Lin family has a large collection of books, but most of them are miscellaneous books or miscellaneous historical records of predecessors.

When the boxes were almost unloaded, Xie Xi opened one of the boxes and said to Lin Yuanzhi: "Father-in-law, these are some paintings and calligraphy that I bought recently. Should I ask my servant to take them to your study?"

Lin Yuanzhi was unhappy when he heard Xie Xi calling him "father-in-law". Is this Xie Xi urging him to marry off his daughter quickly?

He exchanged polite words with Xie Xi and then said: "His Royal Highness Prince Dun, although you and the eldest sister have been approved by His Majesty to be married, they are not married yet. It is better not to call me 'father-in-law' for the time being."

A joke."

As the newly promoted minister of the Ministry of Justice, Lin Yuanzhi was very busy, and it became common for him to stay at the Yamen at night.

He stared at Lin Zisu reluctantly for a few seconds, and then said with great reluctance: "Okay, then I'll listen to you. I'll go to my father's place first."

The Lin family had even packed their luggage a day in advance. They didn't expect that before they had time to go out, the concierge came with a notice saying that King Dun Xie Xi was coming.

Apart from others, Qian Minzhong, who is in charge of the cabinet, will definitely keep an eye on Xie Xi's every move.

Lin Yuanzhi's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he immediately wanted to return the box of paintings and calligraphy. After thinking about it, Lin Yuanzhi suppressed his irritability and said, "If you want to go, just go."

Lin Yuanzhi heard that it was calligraphy and painting, and his cold face softened slightly.

Those masterpieces handed down from generation to generation are both rare and expensive. With the power of the Lin family, it is really difficult to collect them.

Lin Zisu thought it was her father who revealed the letter to Xie Xi, and looked at Lin Yuanzhi with a smile.

He walked closer, stretched his head and took a look inside, and said casually: "I am just a layman, with calligraphy and painting, it is a pity to leave me here."

After all, Xie Xi's identity was still there. Even if Lin Yuanzhi became Xie Xi's father-in-law, he would not dare to abandon the etiquette and stood up to prepare to greet him.

Hearing Xie Xi's arrival, Lin Yuanzhi's heart twitched and he suddenly had a headache. Why did Xie Xi come here so early or late?

Lin Yuanzhi's mood, which had been somewhat comfortable these past two days, suddenly fell to the bottom with the arrival of Xie Xi.

When people's hearts are unstable, it is inevitable that there will be mutual criticism. Countless old cases have been uncovered, and the three judicial departments are extremely disturbed.

With a rare day's rest, Lin Yuanzhi planned to take advantage of the crisp autumn weather to take his family out to enjoy the autumn.

During this time, the servants all heard about the "glorious experiences" of this future uncle.

Since the emperor granted the marriage, the servants of the Lin family have also become concerned about their future uncle.

Lin Zisu flashed a pair of almond eyes and said: "Fourth brother, I heard from Prince Yang that His Majesty has been waiting for news from you. You should go about your business first. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time.

"

This day is Lin Yuanzhi's funeral. In the past month, with the appointment of Liu Qingyuan, the former chief minister of the cabinet, and Ye Quan, the Minister of Personnel, there have been changes in the officials of all sizes in the court.

After Xie Xi left, there was no word from him again. Early the next morning, Xie Xi arrived at Uncle Kang Ning's house.

Xie Xi laughed and said: "Yeah, it's better to meet by chance than to invite. Now that I've caught up, it's just a good time for us to go out and relax together."

Xie Xi saw Lin Yuanzhi accepting his gift, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, I heard that we are going to Lingtan Mountain to enjoy the autumn today? I have nothing to do today, so I will accompany you to relax."

Xie Xi responded with a smile and turned around to greet the servants to unload several boxes from the car.

Xie Xi had a thousand things to say in his heart, but Lin Zisu had spoken, and even though he was not happy with it, he still reluctantly followed Lin Zisu's suggestion.

About a quarter of an hour later, Lin Zisu led two maids out. When they saw Xie Xi, they were stunned and asked: "Four... Your Highness, are you here to accompany us to enjoy the autumn?"

Having said that, Lin Yuanzhi still waved his hand and motioned for the two servants to carry the box away.

Several female relatives were still cleaning up in the backyard, and Lin Yuanzhi was in the front yard. Xie Xi did not dare to make any mistakes, and waited for Lin Zisu to come out.

Xie Xi did not regard himself as an outsider at all. When the concierge informed him, he had already entered the courtyard of Kang Ningbo's mansion.

Seeing Xie Xizhi leading the two carriages into the door with great satisfaction, the servants didn't know what trouble King Dun was trying to make, so they all watched from a distance and did not dare to come near.

She also knew that her father had always been very critical of Xie Xi, and when he mentioned him, he always referred to him as "that boy".

It was rare that his father was so open-minded this time, so Lin Zisu gave Lin Yuanzhi a flattering smile.

Lin Yuanzhi looked very embarrassed, put his fist to his lips, coughed slightly, and said: "Sister, Your Highness came to our house early in the morning. I heard that you were going to enjoy the autumn, so I wanted to stay by your side.

Take care of me."

After Lin Yuanzhi finished speaking, he was afraid that Lin Zisu might misunderstand his attitude, and then ordered: "Hubo, go and have a look in the backyard. Why haven't Madam and Sister Zhu cleaned up yet? By the way, there is also the eldest young master, here

What else was he groping for in Tiangongyuan so early in the morning?"
