The sky finally darkened, and Lin Qimeng sent someone to inform Changfeng and Dongfang Shuo to go to the dinner together. Changfeng and Dongfang Shuo only delayed it a little and followed Miss Lin's maid Xiao Yuan to go to the banquet.

The huge Lin Mansion was already brightly lit at this time, and the yard was illuminated like daylight. Changfeng and Dongfangshuo walked along the way, as if they had entered the Garden of All Nations, dazzled and dazzled. The aura of rich families was incomparable to ordinary people. The richest man in Jiangnan was not a waste of time. Changfeng rarely saw such a scene, so he took a few more glances. Dongfangshuo seemed to be not interested in what was in front of him. At first, he looked at it a few times, but later he stopped paying attention and just followed Changfeng and the maid silently.

Everyone sat down in the guest room. Lin Qimeng first asked someone to come up with four cold dishes, each with good color, fragrance and taste. Then Lin Qimeng invited Changfeng and Dongfang Shuo to the table. The old housekeeper Lin Fu was a guest. Everyone was polite and asked Lin Fu to sit at Lin Qimeng's lower head, followed by Dongfang Shuo, and Changfeng Jing accompanied the last seat.

Lin Qimeng first stood up and picked up the wine glass in his hand and said in an elegant posture: "Today our Lin family invited two gentlemen, and Qimeng only had two more famous teachers, so Qimeng first had to toast the two gentlemen."

Changfeng and Dongfang Shuo also stood up to greet him to show their respect. The wine Changfeng was sweet and refreshing, and extremely sweet. It was a world of difference from the wine Changfeng drank when he was healing in that small village. He couldn't help but blurt out: "What kind of wine is this?"

Lin Qimeng chuckled and said, "This is Xuelihong specially brewed by our Lin Mansion. Do you still think the entrance is there?"

"Xuelihong, which has long been famous in the Lin family in Jiangnan, is one of the four famous wines in the world and one of the tribute wines of the dynasty. Ordinary people cannot drink it. I, Dongfang Shuo, have a good taste today!" Dongfang Shuo's words were equivalent to answering Changfeng's doubts. One of the four famous wines, no wonder it is so delicious!

Just as he was about to praise him, a loud laugh came from outside the door, Lin Qimeng's face looked happy and said, "Two gentlemen, it's Qimeng's father who is back!"

Changfeng and others changed their words and said, "It turns out that the lord of the mansion is back, and we should go and greet him."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice outside saying, "No, we have already arrived outside the door."

The door opened with a creaking sound. Changfeng, Dongfang Shuo, Lin Qimeng and Lin Fu all stood up and looked at the door: I saw an old man with a red face wearing a towering golden crown and a green agate stone inlaid on it. He knew it was a priceless thing at a glance, and this was a symbol of identity and wealth.

"Good daughter, I know my father is back, and I have set up a banquet to wait for my father to come back to entertain guests together!" The old man stepped into the room with one foot.

"Dad, you don't even notify your daughter first when you come back, so that I can pick you up?" Lin Qimeng happily took a step forward to support the old man who came in and said.

Lin Qimeng walked into the hall with the old man, and no one noticed that the old man was followed by a middle-aged man in brocade clothes and a young man in gorgeous clothes. Others didn't know him, but Changfeng could know him. The middle-aged man in brocade clothes was the person Changfeng met in the tea shop, and the young man in gorgeous clothes was also the second apprentice of the man in brocade clothes. However, now he has changed into gorgeous clothes, and he looks more like a frivolous young man. The two of them also noticed Changfeng, exchanged their eyes and walked in with the old man.

Lin Qimeng also noticed that there were two people behind her father, and asked the old man in surprise: "Dad, who are these two?"

The old man smiled and pointed at the middle-aged man in Jinyi and said, "Qi Meng, this is the teacher Ouyang Zhen, whom I invited for you for my father!" Then he pointed to the young master in the Chinese costume and said, "This is Mr. Ouyang's second disciple, and the son of the prime minister of the current dynasty, Prince Li Xianlong, and will be your senior brother in the future. You should get closer in the future."

The young man in the gorgeous costume is Li Xianlong, who ruined Brother Qi's family. When Changfeng saw the playboy in front of him who looked at Lin Qimeng with a look of thief, the first thing he saw was Changfeng's impression was that Li Xianlong was not right and was a traitor. Brother Qi was ruined in his hands all his life. If he had the chance, he must teach this beast with a * wife a lesson!

Except for the three people who just came in, everyone was stunned. Lin Qimeng, Changfeng and Dongfang Shuo felt quite embarrassed. The air suddenly condensed into a tense atmosphere, and everything became very silent. Lin Qimeng carefully said first: "Dad, I have hired two teachers."

"What? Have you asked?" the old man asked in surprise with wide eyes. The towering golden crown kept shaking under the light, and the golden light reflected was dazzling.

"Yes, let me introduce you. This one is Mr. Dongfang Shuo, and the other one is Mr. Changfeng. Now they are all their daughter's teachers. The daughter is holding a banquet for the two teachers." Lin Qimeng first pointed to Dongfang Shuo and then introduced to her father at Changfeng.

Dongfang Shuo and Changfeng introduced themselves one after another, and stopped talking. Silence was the best way, because this was someone else's family business. If you waited to interrupt, you would cause more trouble.

"What should I do now?" Lin Yunbao didn't feel the joy he had just returned. Unexpectedly, Lin Qimeng had already taken the lead in hiring someone. However, in order to get in touch with the Prime Minister's Mansion, he finally found Ouyang Zhen, a backer, and thought he could reach the top political society in one step. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was destroyed by his daughter. Now, not only did the opportunity disappear, but he also offended Ouyang Zhen, the most popular person under the Prime Minister, and he was also the master of the Prime Minister's Master. What should I do now?

"Since that's the case, I believe there is no chance for me, Ouyang Zhen to serve me. Xianlong, I am already prepared, so let's say goodbye." After watching all this calmly, Ouyang Zhen said to the Lin family, the ant on the hot pot, with a stern face.

"It turns out that you are the Ouyang Manor of Sunrise Villa. You are not talented. Although we are far inferior to you in terms of fame, we have now made your position. With the Ouyang Manor's mind, Ouyang Manor should have sat down to have a few glasses of wine with us, as a congratulations to us, right?" Dongfang Shuo then picked up a glass of wine leisurely and said.

Neither Lin Yunbao nor Lin Qimeng noticed that Dongfang Shuo was doing this to win over the host. Even if they realized it, the situation at this time would follow Dongfang Shuo to eliminate the tense atmosphere and ease the host and the host's emotions.

No matter how stingy Ouyang Zhen was, he would not be able to show it in front of everyone. He immediately pulled Lee Hsien Long and sat down and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I'm not a stingy person. Hsien Long, it's okay for us to sit down and have a couple of drinks before leaving."

Lin Yunbao hurriedly greeted the standing person and said, "Yes, yes, Ouyang Manor Master and Xianlong's nephew have agreed to sit down and have a few drinks! Everyone should sit down."

The maid quickly brought three stools, and the seven people happened to form a table, and Lin Yunbao sat on the top.

Lin Yunbao hurriedly asked someone to change the banquet again. Since his daughter had already invited the banquet, she didn't have to say a few words. She squeezed out a smile and said, "Today is a great day to welcome the two teachers, Ouyang Manor Master and the high-ranking nephew Xianlong at home. Everyone can have a few drinks, no need to be polite!"

It was obvious that Lin Qimeng left the table halfway because Lee Hsien Long always stared at her. Changfeng was unwilling to pay attention to the two people because he had a relationship with Lee Hsien Long. He didn't say a word during the meal. He was very good at talking to the Ouyang Manor Master. He almost made them say everything. Even the owner Lin Yunbao felt it was difficult for him to make a few words.

Changfeng was irritated and was only concerned about drinking by himself. He didn't notice much about what they were talking about. But in the end, Dongfang Shuo and Ouyang Zhen became good friends. They could almost call him brothers and kept persuading him to stay. Anyway, two people invited him, and three people also invited him. However, Ouyang Zhen seemed to have no agreement and talked about everything, and he brought out all the old things. However, when talking about Li Xianlong's father Li Yuanchao, Ouyang Zhen kept silent and revealed a little bit of the words. Dongfang Shuo had to give up and switch to other topics.

After drinking and eating, Ouyang Zhen insisted on going back to the inn. Lin Yunbao had no choice but to leave. However, the words before Ouyang Zhen left gave Lin Yunbao a reassurance, saying that he would not pursue what happened today because he was one step late. Changfeng said mentally: He was clearly ahead of me, how could he arrive later than me? Although he had this idea, he could not suspect that others might have delayed something else? It would be better not to meddle in other people's business. Just have the opportunity to secretly teach the young master who is harmful to others. However, Li Xianlong was always away from Ouyang Zhen. When will he have a long time? I don't want to go and rest. Although today's wine is not strong wine, his head will hurt after drinking too much. Just like now, Changfeng has already started to have a headache.

Dongfang Shuo seemed to be unable to drink too much, as if he was drunk. Lin Yunbao asked someone to send Ouyang Zhen and the others out of the Lin Mansion, and then casually arranged the two of them to live in the Meiyuan. Dongfang Shuo arranged the bamboo garden. Unexpectedly, it coincided with the paintings they made, and also coincided with their preferences.

Changfeng came to Meiyuan with the help of the maid. Meiyuan is a plum blossom-shaped yard with five petals blooming. The owner is unique and has many flowers and plants that can only be evergreen and bloom in winter. Of course, plum trees are indispensable. This is also the biggest feature of Meiyuan!

Only then did Changfeng realize that he forgot to ask Zhen Ping'er where he was? He heard someone say in a daze: "Miss Ping'er is sick and still has a fever! Yes, I also heard that he is very sick!"

"Who are Miss Ping'er they are talking about? Is there another lady in your Lin Mansion?" Changfeng said drunkenly to Lin Fu, the old butler who accompanied him.

"No, they are talking about a cat in our Lin family. All the maids like it very much!" Lin Fu hurriedly covered up and said, not that Lin Fu was very lying, but that Changfeng did not notice Lin Fu's expression at all. He was drunk and could not tell who was in front of him.

Changfeng didn't expect how strong the wine was. When Lin Fu helped him lie on the bed, he was already drunk. Lin Fu put him down on the bed and tested his pulse, but found that Changfeng's pulse was not very stable, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and he could not detect the level of Changfeng's martial arts. It was no different from the situation of an ordinary person who was drunk?

Then how could he have such deep skills to press the hard mahogany furniture as hard as iron stone with such deep traces? Strange, strange. Lin Fu shook his head and closed the door and went out. This question should be asked by his goddaughter after he got ready.

"Master, why are we still so polite to the person named Lin?" Ouyang Zhen and his disciple walked out of the Lin Mansion's gate, and Li Xianlong asked his teacher about his teaching.

"Xianlong, among the many disciples, you are the smartest. Why don't you understand such a simple truth?" Ouyang Zhen mentioned this apprentice of Gao's master.

After all, people who grew up in the prime minister's mansion, can't tell whether they are intrigue and fighting for power and profit, especially this kind of strategy of fishing big fish with long lines.

"Master, I understand. Master means that we can use the financial resources of the Lin family to expand our strength!" said Lee Hsien-long.

"You are not stupid at all. Our plan does require a lot of money. If you don't win him over, you will let him go to someone else's side, especially the one that is against us, which will have an unlimited impact on our plan." Ouyang Zhen said.

"Go away quickly, we are going to Jiulipo outside the city now." Ouyang Zhen said to Lee Hsien-long.

"Master, aren't we going to the inn to meet with our fellow brothers?" asked Lee Hsien-long.

"They are already waiting for us there, why don't you leave quickly!" Ouyang Zhen scolded him.

"I understand, Master." Lee Hsien-long quickly agreed and followed.

Duh…duh…

The sound rang in front of Lin Qimeng's study door. Lin Qimeng put down what she was doing and said, "Please come in! The door is not locked."

The door opened with a creaking sound, and Lin Yunbao walked in.

Lin Qimeng looked up and saw that it was her father and said, "It's so late, is there anything wrong with my dad looking for his daughter?"

"Lin Fu has told me all the things this afternoon. I know you had to leave those two people, but do you know their origin?" Lin Yunbao sat down and asked.

Lin Qimeng stood up and said, "I guess my dad already knows that Ping'er is back?"

"I know, I heard that she is sick. Is there such a thing?" Lin Yunbao had only known this from Lin Fu's mouth.

"Did Dad know what disease Ping'er has?" Lin Qimeng asked.

"I don't know this, my senior brother has never told me." Lin Yunbao had nothing to hide in front of his daughter.

"Ping'er was hit by a very cold palm injury, and even the doctors in the mansion could not treat it." Lin Qimeng replied.

"What, why is this happening? I know who did it?" Lin Yunbao stood up excitedly and said loudly. Although Zhen Ping'er was not her own, it was a pity that she was taken over as her goddaughter by her senior brother. In fact, she also wanted to accept her as her goddaughter. In his mind, the two daughters are almost equally important. How could he not be very excited?

"Dad, don't be excited. It's not good to wake up the servants in the mansion carefully. Even the master and uncle don't know about this, let alone let others know about it!" Lin Qimeng said anxiously.

"No wonder you hide it from your master. So that's what happened?" Lin Yunbao said.

"Have you ever doubted it?" Lin Qimeng asked.

"Not yet, but I just feel it a little! He told me quietly." Lin Yunbao asked in frustration: "Is it really impossible to save me?"

Lin Qimeng told her father word by word.

"It turns out that there is still a glimmer of hope." Lin Yunbao said relaxed.

"So tonight my daughter will finish all the work in the next half month and set off to attend the funeral of the old master Cao's village. I heard that the Tian family in Lingnan also sent someone to attend. Maybe they can invite her home to treat Ping'er's disease at that time." Lin Qimeng said with the greatest hope.

"What my daughter said makes sense. When the old village leader Cao was alive, he took great care of our Lin family's goods. You are also like the sisters of Ruifeng. You should go to the funeral of the old village leader, and it just happened to kill two birds with one stone." Lin Yunbao analyzed.

"And I want to bring the Changfeng recommended by Ping'er with me!" Lin Qimeng said.

"No, Changfeng didn't say a word at the banquet just now. He must be a scheming person. If you keep him by your side, there may be danger. Besides, he is very likely the one who plots against Ping'er!" Although Lin Yunbao didn't say a few more words at the banquet, he was also a shrewd businessman. Everyone's expressions were seen in his eyes, and of course he was worried about his daughter's safety.

"It's very likely what my father said. Why didn't I think this might be a trap? If Changfeng was the one who attacked Ping'er that night and saved her, he would have had some plans. I guess he also knew that Ping'er was sick, and taking him away was the best way to do it." Lin Qimeng said excitedly.

Lin Yunbao was surprised. His daughter was worried for a while, and then smiled at the same time, and asked worriedly: "Since Changfeng may be the one who harms Ping'er, wouldn't it be more dangerous for you to keep him by your side?"

"Dad, think about it, if Changfeng is really that person, his goal must be our Lin family. Ping'er will not be his ultimate goal. If he is transferred away, he will not be able to make trouble in the Lin family, and secondly, he also knows Ping'er's illness. If he is unwilling to walk with me, it means he is afraid that Ping'er will die, and he will have nothing to threaten us. So even if he agrees to go with me, I will tell him the time for us to come back from home. As long as Ping'er's critical illness is exceeded, he will definitely go to extend Ping'er's life before leaving. At that time, we can catch him and force him to hand over the antidote, and you can save Ping'er's life!" Lin Qimeng said a little excitedly.

"Yes, this method is indeed a good idea. Daughter, Daddy, go to bed first, you should rest early," Lin Yunbao got up and yawned.

"I understand, dad, you go back first. I will finish the account here and go to bed." Lin Qimeng said.

"Dad has handed over all the business to you in the past two years. Thank you so much!" Lin Yunbao said before leaving.

"It's because my father trusts his daughter!" Lin Qimeng replied obediently.

"I won't say it anymore, you always make sense, Dad is going back first, you should rest early." Lin Yunbao said a word and left Lin Qimeng's study.

"I understand, dad." The answer came out of the study and the person had already walked away.

"Here...Here... Master and Second Senior Brother are here!" A few sounds of horses being shocked in the quiet Jiulipo sounded, which was particularly harsh.

Ouyang Zhen and Lee Hsien Long appeared at the turn. They came in a hurry, and basically a moment later, Mrs. had arrived.

"Ouyang Manor Master, the villain sent him to pick up the manor to the village!" He walked to Ouyang Zhen in the dark and said.

"Okay, even the village leader is really interested, please!" Ouyang Zhen replied politely.

A group of dozens of people turned over the horses that had been prepared for them and left in the dust, and the thunder of early spring also rang out at this time.

The spring thunder also woke up the drunk Changfeng. Changfeng got up from the bed and felt that his head hurt. He got up and exposed the fire twister of the oil lamp larger, making the room brighter. It turned out that he had been moved to a place like a guest room.

Oh no, I just cared about drinking by myself and forgot Zhen Ping'er. I wonder if she was also in the wing room of this yard.

Ai, go out for a walk to relieve your headache.

As soon as I put on a piece of clothing and was about to go out, I heard the sound of porcelain falling next door. Changfeng was startled and his head became less headache. He hurried out and found that someone had already entered next door, and the light was on. The door was closed, so Changfeng pushed the door open and went in by himself.

I found that Lin Qimeng's maid Xiao Yuan was wiping the face of Zhen Ping'er lying on the bed. There were broken porcelain pieces on the ground. Changfeng walked up to see that Zhen Ping'er's face was pale and flushed. Changfeng was anxious and woke up all the wine and said, "What's wrong with my book boy?"
To be continued...
