Gao Qiu nodded, "Do I need brother to tell me this? This little bridge, the water, the pavilions, I didn't miss any of them. I even sent dozens of good subordinates to investigate the bottom of the lake. It's a pity that the water is so vast that we didn't find anything. There's no need to mention the other places in the residence. We just haven't dug three feet into the ground. "
Hearing Gao Qiu say this, Lin Wanrong made an "oh" sound. He was very disappointed inside. Did I guess wrong and Cheng Wang wasn't hiding here at all? But why did the two guards of the Prince's Mansion suddenly disappear here?
The lake in front of him rippled with blue waves. A few light water birds flew quickly across the surface of the water, extremely elegant. But Lin daren's mood couldn't get better. Walking along the pavilion, they arrived at a pavilion not far from the lake. This pavilion was erected in the shallow water nearby. It had carved railings and cornices, gold bricks and blue tiles. The surrounding eaves were carved with all kinds of golden dragons. It was abnormally grand.
"The mountain isn't high, it's famous if there's an immortal. The water isn't deep, it's spiritual if there's a dragon — — Pah, such big words. "Gao Qiu stopped his wheelchair in the pavilion. He looked at the two sides and angrily said.
"Gao da ge, what are you reciting?" Lin Wanrong was very surprised.
"Brother Lin, look." Gao Qiu pointed at the pillars on the two sides. On the vermillion pillars, there was a set of shining golden characters carved. The characters were majestic, flying like dragons and dancing phoenixes. It was the poem that Gao Qiu had just recited.
"Gao da ge, who wrote this poem?" When he was in Hangzhou, he had met Su Di. Today, he had seen this ancient quatrain. They were clearly two different worlds, but they had something in common. Could it be that the old saying was true? Beautiful things were interconnected? Lin Wanrong's heart instantly felt an incomparable familiarity.
Gao Qiu smiled and said, "It seems to have been written by someone with the surname Liu in the previous dynasty. It praises some broken house — — Brother Lin, I, Old Gao, am not good at poetry. You have to understand. I'll find a teacher to explain it to you. "
What broken house, it's called the Epigraph of My Shack! Lin Wanrong found it funny, but it was already a great achievement for Old Gao to remember these two sentences.
Gao Qiu chuckled and said, "Brother, look at these words, I'm afraid they are His Highness's treasured calligraphy. Tsk tsk, what a big mouth. If you say that he doesn't have the intention to rebel, I, Old Gao, won't believe it even if you beat me to death. "
"It doesn't matter how high the mountain is. The water doesn't have to be deep to have a dragon. "Lin Wanrong didn't seem to hear him. Looking at the two lines of golden words, he muttered to himself, "Water doesn't matter how deep it is, as long as there is a dragon, as long as there is a dragon, as long as there is a dragon, as long as there is a dragon, there is a dragon … Aiya, my Big Brother Gao …"
Sir Lin was wild with joy. He heavily slapped Gao Qiu's body, giving Old Gao a fright. What happened to you? "
"What a good saying! Big Brother Gao, you really are the smartest person in the world. I really admire you." Lin Wanrong seemed to have discovered something as his face beamed with joy and excitement.
Gao Qiu was confused, "Brother Lin, don't think too highly of me. In front of you, how can I be called the smartest? At most, I'm ranked second. Did you notice something? "
Lin Wanrong let out a 'heh' sound. He scoffed, "Big Brother Gao. Based on your experience, did the lake in the palace exist naturally, or was it artificially dug later on? "
"I'll have to check the mansion's records." Old Gao said with a serious tone. He waved his hand and called a guard over, giving him a few instructions. Not long after, the guard rushed over with a small book in his hand. Gao Qiu flipped through a few pages, "The mansion's records say that this place was personally chosen by the late emperor. When the palace was built, the lake already existed …"
"So that's how it is. It existed naturally? "Sir Lin made a sound of acknowledgement, his brows furrowing slightly," Did I guess wrong again?! "
"However," Gao Qiu continued to flip, "according to the records, a dozen years ago, the palace underwent a large scale renovation. It nearly doubled the size of the lake … "
"Really?" Lin Wanrong was overjoyed. He snatched the book over, "Let me see, quickly let me see."
Looking at the densely packed traditional characters gave him a headache. Sir Lin insisted on reading them out one by one. It was as Gao Qiu had said. A dozen years ago, the palace had been renovated once, causing the size of the lake to double. It wasn't much different from what he had expected. Lin Wanrong laughed twice, throwing the book back to Gao Qiu, "Big Brother Gao, there's no need to say anymore. If this case succeeds, you'll be the one who deserves the most credit. Now, please help me do something. I'll give you one day to drain this lake, don't leave a single drop behind. "
Gao Qiu sucked in a breath of cold air, anxiously saying with a bitter expression, "Brother Lin, with so much lake water in one day, where can I drain it to?"
That's right, where could it go? Did he have to ask Old Gao to drink it all? Sir Lin was also worried. Even if he mobilized all the soldiers to dig a ditch, one day wouldn't be enough!
Difficult! Difficult! Sir Lin sighed twice. Seeing that the sun was setting, the cold wind blowing from the lake became colder and colder. He couldn't help but shiver, unable to think of a good solution.
"Lin lang …" Just as he was feeling troubled, he suddenly heard a gentle call by his ear. Looking up, he saw Xiao Qingxuan wearing a plain robe, her face as beautiful as a painting. She stood quietly by his side, smiling at him. Her slightly protruding belly was covered by her pure white robe, giving off an indescribable sense of harmony and beauty.
"Qing Xuan, why are you here?!" Seeing Young Miss Xiao standing in the light of dusk, her face slightly pink and her delicate body as delicate as a willow tree, Lin daren immediately became anxious. He quickly grabbed her jade hand, "The wind is strong here, don't freeze you and our son!"
"I'm not as bad as you make me out to be." A guard had already brought over a brocade stool. Miss Xiao smiled as she sat down next to him. She took out a pure white porcelain pot from the small basket she carried with her and angrily said, "Don't forget, in Jinling, I beat you into a sorry state."
"Yes, yes, I beat you into a sorry state." Thinking back to the past, Lin Wanrong roared with laughter. Miss Xiao's charming face also blushed.
"This is freshly brewed ice pear hibiscus soup. There is a thousand year old ginseng inside, it can promote blood circulation, clear the mind, and reduce dryness. Hurry up and use it." Miss Xiao placed the porcelain bowl in his hands. The handle of the bowl was still warm. It turned out that there was a small stove in the basket. This porcelain bowl had been kept warm the entire time.
"Qing Xuan, you're so good to me." Lin Daren was moved to tears. Picking up the hibiscus soup, he didn't care that it was hot and gulped down a few mouthfuls.
Miss Xiao quickly took out a pure white silk handkerchief and carefully wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth. She angrily said with heartache, "You idiot, there's no one to fight with you, what are you so anxious about!"
Lin Wanrong gave a hollow laugh and drank the soup to the bottom. He smacked his lips as if he hadn't had enough. Xiao Qingxuan found this funny and pointed a finger at his nose, "You're a cow chewing on peony. This soup is not easy to brew. Madam taught Qiaoqiao to brew it for four hours and then stewed it for a day before it had this taste. You heartless person has ruined it."
"Isn't it brewed for me to eat? How is it ruined? "Lin Wanrong said with a smile," Madam is quite considerate, teaching this skill to Qiaoqiao. "
Miss Xiao sighed and slightly shook her head, "She was going back to Jinling and was worried that you wouldn't be able to recover from your injuries, so she taught this skill to Qiaoqiao. She also taught Qiaoqiao many ways to serve people. There are many areas that even I can't compare to. Madam's gratitude is very heavy! "
"That's true. That's true. After all, I risked my life to get it back. " Lin Daren laughed and shamelessly said, "That's right, when is Madam leaving?"
"The itinerary has been set. Even the morning after tomorrow, none of us could persuade her otherwise. This Xiao Family's Madam is a staunch woman! With Grand Mistress's temperament, she must have asked Madam to do this. "Xiao Qingxuan said with a bit of regret.
She's leaving the day after tomorrow, but Madam didn't even tell me! Did she really save the wrong person?! Lin Wanrong made an 'oh' sound and didn't say anything. He felt a bit awkward.
Xiao Qingxuan saw that he wasn't in a good mood and held his hand tightly. She softly said, "All good things must come to an end. Since Madam wants to return to Jinling, we can't force her to come. Why don't we wait for you to return to Jinling to take a look? Langjun, are you willing?! "
"I'm willing, of course I'm willing." Lin Wanrong hurriedly nodded and proudly said, "Jinling is the place where I made my fortune. You were also conquered by me there —"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who was conquered by you?! Lecher! "Miss Xiao lightly scolded. Her face and ears turned red. She didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh.
"Lin Wanrong, I heard from Commander Gao that you want to drain this lake?" Miss Xiao asked after a moment of sweetness between the husband and wife.
Lin Wanrong made an 'en' sound and sighed in distress. "There is a saying that it's easy to shake the heavens, but difficult to dig a dam. This is such a large pool of water. It's easier said than done. "
Miss Xiao was silent for a moment. She suddenly smiled mysteriously. "Lin Wanrong, I like such a beautiful lake. Why do you want to drain it?"
"Qing Xuan also likes it." Lin Wanrong nodded seriously. "Then it's easy. Tomorrow we'll build a large swimming pool in our backyard. You sisters can swim in it when you have nothing to do. Wear less clothes to reduce the water's resistance and increase my power —"
Pah. Miss Xiao's face turned red. She didn't know what this lecher was thinking about all day. After saying a few words, he revealed his true nature. "You." Miss Xiao rolled her eyes at him. "You're always messing around. I don't know where your mind is. No wonder you've become so stupid!"
"Stupid? How am I stupid?" Lin Wanrong said, unconvinced.
"You're still saying you're not stupid?" Miss Xiao smiled. "Only you would think of such a stupid idea like draining the water. Haven't you heard of the story of a bird startled by the twang of a bow?! "
A bird startled by the twang of a bow? Lightning flashed through Lin Wanrong's mind. He kissed Miss Xiao's red face. "Aiya, I'm muddle-headed. Why didn't I think of such a method? People say that people with big breasts have no brains. But Qing Xuan, you're different. You have big breasts, but your brain is just as good. I love you to death! "
"So annoying. What nonsense are you saying?!" Hearing her husband's shameless teasing, Miss Xiao covered her face in embarrassment. Fortunately, there was no one around. If this kind of private conversation was heard by others, wouldn't Miss Xiao find a hole to hide in?
"Qing Xuan, we haven't done that in a long time." Lin Wanrong burrowed into her embrace and forcefully cupped her soft breasts. He said shamelessly, "Let your husband feel it. Yi, it's even bigger than Ning 'er's."
She didn't know what method he used, but after being pinched a few times by him, Miss Xiao lost all strength in her body. Her face became as hot as fire. Seeing him burrow into her embrace like a child and bully her, Xiao Qingxuan's heart became tender. She felt that every day she was with this husband was a new feeling. She couldn't help but be happy.
"What do you want to do? Haven't you messed around with Ning 'er enough today? "Seeing that he was becoming more and more outrageous, wanting to undo her clothes. Miss Xiao's heart softened. She forced herself to stop him. Although she doted on her husband, she knew his personality. If she let him do as he pleased, who knew when his injuries would recover.
There were many wives in the fu, but the one she respected the most was Xiao Qingxuan. Lin Wanrong retracted his palm and laughed. "I'm not messing around. This is called being unable to control one's emotions. When the conditions are right, success will follow. This is the highest realm of mutual affection. Wife, the time we spend together is the happiest time in the world. "
Miss Xiao couldn't take it anymore. This wasn't the first or second time she had been tempted by his sweet words. But every time she was happy. If this continued, she would probably follow in Ning 'er's footsteps.
"You're annoying. Don't be so glib." Her tone couldn't help but become gentle. She said shyly. "Quickly finish what you need to do. Come home soon. Our sisters are all waiting for you."
"Yes, yes." Miss Xiao was like a shy fairy. Her beautiful appearance made Lin Wanrong's bones go soft. He hurriedly nodded his head. He wanted to bury his head into Miss Xiao's chest and never wake up again.
"Brother Lin, Brother Lin, the princess has left!" Seeing Lin Wanrong blankly staring in the direction Xiao Qingxuan disappeared in with a perverted smile and drool three feet long, Gao Qiu couldn't stand it anymore. He hurriedly ran over and pushed him.
"Oh, is that so?" Lin Wanrong angrily wiped away the drool at the corner of his mouth. His old face couldn't take it anymore as he drooled at his own wife. I really am regressing the more I live. But, speaking of which, Qing Xuan's figure was devilish. She could even fight to the death with Sister An and Fairy Ning.
Seeing Brother Lin show signs of being in a daze again. Gao Qiu hurriedly said, "Brother Lin, wake up. Have you thought of a way?!"
"Way?! Oh, oh. "Lin Wanrong's expression became serious." Big Brother Gao, help me send out a notice. "
"Notice? What notice?! "
Lin Wanrong laughed. "Just say that there was a big fire last night. In the pond in the back courtyard of the Wang Palace, there was a large amount of hidden jewels. Based on the principle of taking from the people and using it for the people, with the Emperor's permission, we are recruiting underwater experts to dig up the jewels. We will take thirty percent as a reward to those who are meritorious. "
Ah? Gao Qiu was also stunned. "Brother Lin, send out a notice that there is a secret in this lake. Wouldn't the entire world know about it? "
"If it's known, then it's known. Everyone will get rich together and prosper together." Lin Wanrong's smile was sinister. "Also, you have to make it clear that the time to dig up the jewels is only tomorrow. After that, it will be invalid."
"Then what if someone really does dig up something, but secretly embezzles it?" Gao Qiu's considerations were very thorough.
"Embezzlement?!" Lin Wanrong laughed. "I'm afraid they won't be greedy! It's best if you turn over every piece of land in this lake for me several times and find more gold and silver. That would be delightful enough. "
He understood! This was called being driven by profit! Gao Qiu's eyes lit up and he gave a sincere thumbs up. "Brother Lin, in this world, you are the most treacherous — — I'll do it right now!"
"Wait, wait — —" Seeing Gao Qiu turn around to leave, Lin Wanrong laughed. "Don't be in such a hurry, I haven't finished yet. Gather our brothers and have them dig up the water. If we find any silver in the lake, it will be theirs. We can't be biased, can we? Also, bring over some cannons — — "
"What do we need cannons for?!" Gao Qiu exclaimed.
"Nothing much." Lin Wanrong smiled faintly. "When we're free, we'll fire a few cannons at the lake and hit some water birds."
Using cannons to hit water birds? Gao Qiu was completely convinced! He had many subordinates under him, so he did things quickly. In just a short while, hundreds and thousands of notices had been put up, and brand new Divine Machine Cannons were also brought over.
The patrolling imperial censor, Lord Chen Biqing, rushed over when he heard the news. He saw four cannons lined up in front of him, the black barrels glowing.
"Lin, Lin Wanrong, what are you doing?!" Lord Chen was a bit dazed. Although he had a high position and authority, he had never seen such a big scene before.
"Is Lord Chen asking me?" Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Oh, I see that my brothers are working too hard, so I'm going to catch a few water birds at the lakeside for them to eat. Lord Chen, do you like to eat roasted or roasted? "
"Lord Lin, this is the imperial palace!" Chen Biqing was so angry that his beard trembled. "How can you do as you please? Is there still any law? "
Lin Wanrong's expression did not change. He pulled the lever of the cannon back and forth a few times, then shook his head. "Lord Chen worries too much. Could it be that shooting two wild birds in the imperial palace is against the law?"
Lin Wanrong was personally shooting the birds. Gao Qiu was so shocked that he was covered in sweat. If something happened to this Brother Lin, he would die a hundred times. "Brother Lin, you have to take it easy," he said while trembling.
"Don't worry, I'm an expert in firing cannons!" Just as Lin Wanrong finished speaking, there was a loud explosion. A huge wave appeared on the surface of the lake in the distance.
