Following the attendant to the backyard, Lin Haoming soon saw Fang Ping sitting next to the lotus pond with a melancholy look on her face.
Seeing Lin Haoming coming over, Fang Ping stood up, with untold sadness in her eyes.
"Madam of the Palace Master!" Lin Haoming went over and bowed.
"Don't call me Madam Madam, I am your seventh aunt." Fang Ping corrected her very sensitively.
Lin Haoming, the wife of the palace master, had been calling her for many years, but now she was acting like this. Lin Haoming realized that she might have given up on Jian Shuhan.
In fact, Lin Haoming had seen early on that Fang Ping and Jian Shuhan were just forced to get together. There was no affection between the two people, but they had to come together based on pure interests. In the current situation, it was obvious that Fang Ping was extremely disappointed with Jian Shuhan.
"Seventh Aunt!" Lin Haoming also knew that the conflict between himself and Jian Shuhan was difficult to reconcile, so he ignored Jian Shuhan and changed his title after Fang Ping.
Fang Ping felt more comfortable like this, looked at Lin Haoming and said: "That useless thing, you told him not to have his own way, but ended up running into him. I have never seen such a waste. This is not the first time he has been such a waste. After I married him..."
Fang Ping seemed to find that she had been squeezing in her heart for who knows how long. She kept talking for a long time. In the end, she was just complaining. The more she talked, the sadder she became, and she burst into tears.
Lin Haoming looked at her helplessly and could only listen to her complaints. He had a chance to go back from noon until dark.
After returning home, Lin Haoming began to think about what to do next, but when he got home, he saw an invitation from Kang Ying, asking him to attend a banquet tomorrow.
When he came back, Jian Shuhan avoided seeing him, but Kang Ying took the initiative to invite him, which was interesting.
Lin Haoming thought for a moment and decided to see what Kang Ying had to say.
The next day, since Jian Shuhan didn't see him, Lin Haoming didn't bother to see him. After delivering the task, Lin Haoming waited until evening and drove to Kang Ying's mansion.
Before coming here, it was Wang Fuling, but now it is Kang Fuling. After walking in, Lin Haoming found that the layout here has not changed much from before.
Kang Ying was not entertaining him alone, or in other words, he was not entertaining himself alone. In addition to him, there were also Li Guang and General Pan En.
These three people, apart from himself and Jian Shuhan, can be said to be the three people with the highest positions in Donggao Mansion. Jian Shuhan has been deposed. Lin Haoming doesn't know if today's event is the Hongmen Banquet.
"Lieutenant Lin, you shouldn't call everyone Lin." Lin Haoming said, and Kang Ying greeted him with a smile, as if he had greeted him that day, cordially like an old friend for many years.
"Your Excellency, you are welcome." Lin Haoming remained the same as before.
"This is not polite. Captain Lin has indeed shown his talents in the county. The number one chess player in Tianshui County has no water at all." Li Guang also agreed with a smile.
"Pan also likes chess. The chessboard is like a battlefield, and the chess pieces are like thousands of troops. Captain Lin can move across the chessboard, and he must be a master of soldiers. Lord Captain is an ascended monk. He must have commanded millions of soldiers in the lower world back then." Pan En also said. complimented.
Lin Haoming looked at these three people and flattered them as soon as they came up. He didn't know what they were thinking, so he just said a few words modestly.
Kang Ying quickly asked Lin Haoming to sit at the table. There were four people sitting at the four square tables. Li Guang was opposite, and Kang Ying and Pan En were on the left and right sides.
After pouring the wine, Kang Ying picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "First of all, congratulations to Lieutenant Lin for being promoted by the Immortal Lord."
"Haha, Lin got promoted by playing chess, it's not worth mentioning." Lin Haoming smiled and raised his glass and drank the glass with everyone.
"What Lieutenant Lin said is wrong. To be appreciated by the Immortal Lord, no matter what you are good at, you are proud of yourself." Li Guang said with a smile.
"Yes, Lieutenant Li's words make sense. If it is so easy, why don't others get the appreciation of the Immortal Lord through this?" Pan En also agreed.
"That's right, Kang also admires Captain Lin's ability." Kang Ying also praised him in the end.
Lin Haoming smiled at this time and said: "In terms of ability, Lin admires the Lord Fu Ling very much."
Hearing this, the smile on Kang Ying's face faded a little, and he put down his wine glass and said: "Actually, Kang's ability is only like this. My father often said that I am in a hurry. If things go well, I will be able to handle it with ease, but if I encounter adversity, I will be able to handle it with ease." It’s easy to make mistakes again and again.”
"Then I wonder if Kang Fu Ling thinks it's good times or bad times now?" Lin Haoming asked with a smile.
By this time, everyone present knew that Lin Haoming had already guided the conversation to the key issue, and everyone was not smiling like before.
At this time, Kang Ying took the initiative to pick up the wine pot and filled it for everyone present. Then he smiled and said: "If Captain Lin can make me go smoothly, then I should be in good times."
"Kang Fu Ling's words are a bit too high for me. Lin is just a mere Zuo Duwei, and Fu Ling is a heavenly official at the lower level." Lin Haoming shook his head and said.
"I heard that Captain Lin proposed to marry Miss Lingshan, a disciple of Menglan Family, after he won Meng Lan's family in Tianshui City. Now I don't know whether Miss Lingshan, no, it should be Mrs. Lingshan, has returned with Lord Captain. Donggao Mansion?" Kang Ying asked with a smile.
"We did come back together." Lin Haoming didn't know what he meant.
"Just like General Pan, my father also likes playing chess very much. The last time I went to Tianshui County was probably a hundred years ago, during the Tianshui County Plenary Session. At that time, I had not yet advanced to practice physical training, so I followed my father Going to Tianshui County City was also the final preparation for the advanced level of refining, but I also went to Fenzhuang Building at that time. My father had the honor to play three games with Meng Lan and the others, and I also had the honor to play several games with Miss Lingshan. Of course, my My chess skills are really average. Miss Lingshan gave me three pieces, but I didn't win even one game, but my father played very happily. Although Meng Lan and the others also gave in three pieces, my father actually won two of the three games."
"Master Kang's chess skills are also quite superb." Lin Haoming said with a smile.
"It can't be compared with Lieutenant Lin, but he is indeed a master. Unlike me, I have little interest in chess, but I like to listen to drums. There is a girl Taozhi in Fenzhuang Building who is good at playing drums. At that time, she was fascinated by it. After being drunk, like Captain Lin, I married Miss Taozhi home." Kang Ying said with a smile.
Kang Ying did not answer directly, but said this. Lin Haoming seemed to understand a little. Kang Ying was telling himself that he was just like him. Even Kang Shanchang, the head of the Xunlong Mansion, actually had a close relationship with Mrs. Huan Yu. If the Fang family and Mrs. Huan Yu also walked in, then some things would be different.
Lin Haoming didn't expect that there was such a relationship. Although Fang Huang didn't say it explicitly at the time, he agreed with his approach. Did he also consider this aspect, but he didn't know what the Xunlong Mansion thought, and it was hard to say.
