Chapter 106 The New Year is coming soon, can I kowtow to you in advance? !
Jiao Hongmiao and Lin Deyun, one is a businessman and the other is a politician. Not only do they keep out of each other's way, they have never even met each other.
When Lin Deyun hurried over after receiving the message from the doorman, he and Jiao Hongmiao looked at each other for a long time, both falling into speechless embarrassment.
If an unfamiliar senior official suddenly visited any ordinary person's home, they would probably be terrified and fearful for a long time. The fact that Lin Deyun did not kneel on the spot with trembling legs was a sign of his strong mental strength.
In the end, it was Lin Deyun who spoke after some hesitation and broke the deadlock.
"I wonder why Lord Jiao has come to visit my humble abode?"
Little did he know that this question would immediately push the situation to an even more embarrassing level.
Jiao Hongmiao: “…”
How would he know?!
He even knew a few breaths earlier than Lin Deyun that the two of them were going to meet today, okay? !
Jiao Hongmiao smiled awkwardly and glanced at the little prince beside him imperceptibly.
The little prince, who knew the inside story, looked up and down, but refused to look him in the eye.
Fortunately, after more than a decade of ups and downs in officialdom, he has become terrifyingly good at telling lies with his eyes open!
"I was asked by the little princess to come and help investigate the condition of your son Lin Jinshu."
The reason was not difficult to guess. The little prince's study partner suddenly asked for leave for something, and the little prince took great pains to trick him into the Lin Mansion. It was easy to guess why.
Lin Deyun looked flattered, and lowered his head to look at the two little kids: "...then these two?" Could they be the noble ladies from the palace? !
When asked, Jiang Yingcheng dodged and hid behind Jiao Hongmiao, grabbed a piece of cloth from his robe, raised his head, and timidly called out, "Daddy!"
Jiao Hongmiao trembled violently, which also scared Lin Deyun on the opposite side.
"grown ups?"
Jiao Hongmiao: “…”
It's nothing serious, it's just -
The New Year is coming soon, can I kowtow to you in advance? !
The muscles on Jiao Hongmiao's face also trembled: "No problem, the old illness has come back."
Lin Deyun: “Ah, ah…”
The group was respectfully invited into the mansion.
Although the two little guys did not reveal their true identities, the title of "children of the Minister of Revenue" was enough to earn them quite honorable treatment.
The table in front of the two of them was filled with all kinds of pastries, but Jiang Yingcheng didn't eat a single piece. He called the maid to bring some oil paper and packed up all the pastries.
While packing, I was humming an unknown tune in my heart.
[Hehehe, my brother will never be able to eat so many delicious snacks, pack them all up! Take them to my brother! ]
Lin Deyun smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, turned to Jiao Hongmiao and said, "Your daughter is so cute."
Jiao Hongmiao had been numbed by the two little ancestors, and replied randomly: "Thank you, you too."
Lin Deyun: “…”
"???"
Realizing what he had said, Jiao Hongmiao suddenly came back to his senses, quickly suppressed his wild thoughts, and got straight to the point: "Master Lin, since I have been entrusted by the young prince, I need to be loyal to the prince. I hope Master Lin will help me."
"This..." Lin Deyun's eyes rolled around in his eye sockets. "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just..."
"The disease my son is suffering from is highly contagious. Just meeting him will cause him to get sick. All the people who went to take care of him have been infected. So far, no one has been able to..."
Lin Deyun spoke very sincerely, and before he finished speaking, he glanced at the two little guys suggestively, showing that he was considering Jiao Hongmiao with good intentions.
However, before he could put on a polite smile, he heard the little boy who had stopped moving since who knows when asked innocently, "Can I get sick from the opposite side?"
Lin Deyun nodded, looking worried: "That's right."
"Then how are you okay?" Little Dumpling asked, "Didn't you go to see your child?"
Lin Deyun choked.
Because of Lin Jinshu's fatal identity, he always presented himself as a kind father. Even those shameful schemes he carried out in his daily life were always flawless and Lin Jinshu never found out any clues.
But he quickly thought of an excuse: "I was out doing business that day, and when I came back I was told that my son had contracted this disease. Alas..."
These words were impeccable, Jiang Yingcheng nodded -
"Then the lady must have been infected as well?" Jiang Yingcheng glanced at the beautiful woman who was about to walk into the house. "Then who is this aunt? Is she uncle's concubine?"
Fang Yiwan: “…”
Lin Deyun: “Uh…”
"It's so contagious, why doesn't uncle seal off the house? Isn't uncle afraid of letting the disease spread?"
Lin Deyun: “…”
Lin Deyun's forehead was already covered with sweat, but Jiang Yingcheng kept asking, "Uncle, why did you let us in? What if my father is also infected?"
Jiang Yingcheng's baby voice is extremely fluent when he is talking to people.
"If my father hadn't asked just now, he would never have known about this matter. What if he went to court without knowing about it?"
"What if I infect my colleagues?"
"What if it infects His Majesty?"
"pass……"
Lin Deyun kept wiping the sweat off his face with his sleeves. He had been beaten so hard by the continuous attacks that he had no power to fight back at all. Finally, Fang Yiwan, who was standing at the door, suddenly spoke up and put an end to the seemingly endless questioning.
"Jinshu's condition is not that serious. The master said that just now because he was afraid that it would not attract your attention." Fang Yiwan stood in the middle of the hall and bowed to the direction of several people. "I apologize on behalf of the master. I hope you don't mind."
Jiao Hongmiao looked closely.
Fang Yiwan looks 90% alike to Fang Siwan and is a standard beauty. When she stands there gracefully and explains something with a smile on her face, it makes people want to believe her.
If Jiang Yingcheng wasn't there next to him.
[Humph! That sounds nice, but my brother was actually fighting with the young master of the mansion. Those people were so reckless that they attacked me in the face. My brother had no choice but to ask for leave because he couldn't meet the talented people! ]
[Chengcheng will write all of them down in a little notebook when he gets back, and I will definitely call back to you one by one later!!]
Jiang Yingcheng paused in anger, then became cheerful as if he had discovered a new world: [Maybe... Uncle Jiao can just beat a few today? ]
Jiao Hongmiao's expression was stern: "In that case, do you have children of the right age in your house who can take me...my two children out to play?"
"They both like to move around a lot, I'm afraid they won't be able to stay still for long."
He was anxious to send the two away as if they were the god of plague.
You must be kidding. If he dares to take action today, Emperor Mingze will have an excuse to take more money from him tomorrow!
Lin Deyun also wanted to send the two little guys away, especially the sharp-tongued one. Hearing this, without thinking, he called Fang Yiwan to find two children of similar age and take the two little guys for a walk.
Jiang Yingcheng was very satisfied with this arrangement.
[Hehehe, I can go find my brother now hehe~]
Before leaving, she secretly glanced back at Fang Yiwan, then looked away as if nothing had happened.
Bad woman, she doesn't want to recognize her.
Jiao Hongmiao and Lin Deyun also breathed a sigh of relief.
only……
When the figures of the little guys disappeared from his sight, Jiao Hongmiao realized belatedly that -
Now that the two little princes have left, he can only have awkward conversations with them until they come back!
What kind of hell joke is this?!
Is this how Master Yuan usually spends his days? !
