"What does grandmother mean?" asked He Linwan.

Wei shook his head, "This is their own business, and I won't interfere." I see that your uncle and grandmother and your second uncle have a lot of plans this time. ”

He Linwan nodded, and asked again: "Grandmother, I will enter the palace the day after tomorrow, do you have anything else to tell me?"

Wei Shi thought for a while and said to He Linwan: "I don't ask you to be brilliant in everything when you enter the palace this time, you just need to remember four words: be cautious in your words and deeds." ”

He Linwan originally thought that at this time, the Wei family should explain something to her, at least she should tell her which one she wanted to match her to, but she didn't expect that the Wei family still refused to confess, but also told her not to come out. Wei just said that Qin's plan is not small, and in He Linwan's opinion, Wei's plan is even bigger.

Wei Shi saw that He Linwan bowed his head and was silent, thinking that she was worried, so he comforted him slowly: "Don't be afraid, entering the palace is just a formality, and grandmother has arranged other things for you." ”

Go through the motions? He Linwan secretly raised his eyebrows, pondering Wei's words in his heart, but nodded obediently on his face.

He couldn't ask for any important information from Wei, so He Linwan didn't ask again, and left after listening to Wei's explanation of a few inconsequential things.

After lunch that day, He Linwan was just about to go to the study to deal with the news of "Dark Lin", when the Cao family came, but this time the Cao family came to find her.

"Second aunt is looking for me?" He Linwan asked.

Cao's straight to the point and said, "Ah Wan, the second aunt wants to ask you for something." ”

"Second aunt, please speak. ”

Cao said: "This time I entered the palace, please help the second aunt take care of Zhen'er more." The second aunt knows that you are a smart girl with ability, and you also know your sister Zhen'er, but her brain is not very bright on weekdays, and I am afraid that she will get into trouble after entering the palace. ”

He Linwan smiled and said: "So that's the case! Second aunt don't worry, it's all a family, and I will take care of the fourth sister." ”

"Thank you, Ah Wan. ”

The Cao family was very grateful, but after Cao's words said this, he still didn't mean to leave, He Linwan looked at her and knew that the Cao family came to her not just to ask her to help take care of He Zhen.

He Linwan didn't rush to ask, and she patiently accompanied her to drink tea when Cao drank tea.

It wasn't until a cup of tea was eaten that Cao Shi seemed to have made up his mind, raised his head and said to He Linwan: "Ah Wan, I still have some things I want to talk to you about, let your maid go out first." ”

He Linwan bowed to Chunxiao and the other two little girls, and they retreated.

"The second aunt has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Cao Shi thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Ah Wan, do you want to enter the palace?"

He Linwan was stunned, and then said, "I naturally obey the family's arrangement. ”

Cao Shi looked at He Linwan and said, "Obey the family's arrangement...... So you yourself don't want to enter the palace?"

He Linwan was silent, she was wondering where the Cao family had come to the conclusion that she didn't want to enter the palace.

Cao Shi thought that He Linwan had acquiesced, and sighed, "I obviously have a favorite person in my heart, but I can't make my own decisions about marriage, I understand that you must be uncomfortable in your heart." ”

He Linwan pondered Cao's words, and seemed to be a little incomprehensible, "Favorite person?"

The Cao family thought that He Linwan didn't want to admit it, so he said implicitly: "I heard that when you came to the east, you had some dealings with the son of the Xue family. ”

He Linwan suddenly realized, it seemed that it was Cao's daughter-in-law Pan Wenchang who said something here that made her misunderstood.

He Linwan couldn't help but feel funny, was this Pan Wenchang afraid that she would say something, so she acted first to accuse her of fornicating with a foreign man in front of the Cao family?

However, He Linwan was curious about what Cao wanted to say, so she was silent and neither refuted nor admitted.

"Ah Wan, the second aunt is very grateful that you can help me take care of Zhen'er, so if you really have affection for Xue Gongzi, the second aunt can help you. Cao said sincerely.

He Linwan's face was silent, "The second aunt can't even stop the fourth sister from entering the palace, how can you help me?"

Cao Shi was poked in the sore spot, and her face was a little uncomfortable, but she still said: "Zhen'er's thing is because her grandmother and father insisted...... Since I said that I can help you, I am not lying to you. ”

Seeing He Linwan's disbelief, the Cao family thought about it and said: "I know a person who has some friendship with the Xue family, and the Xue family still owes him a big favor." If you fail to enter the palace this time, I will contact that person and use this favor to exchange the Xue family for a marriage proposal to you. ”

Cao's words surprised He Linwan very much, Cao's has always been a woman in her eyes, except for her own small courtyard, she never asks about things in the house, such a woman can have the confidence to let the Xue family take the initiative to ask her for marriage?

He Linwan looked incredulous, "How could a person like Xue Ge Lao let his son marry casually because of a favor?

Cao Shi hurriedly said: "What am I coaxing you to do! It's really too much of a favor for that person, and the Xue family can't do it." ”

He Linwan still shook her head, "Second aunt must be coaxing me." Xue Ge is so noble, where is he so easy to speak?"

Seeing that He Lin didn't believe it, Cao Shi hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Actually...... It's not so much a favor as a handle. With this handle in hand, just let Xue Ge Lao set a family affair for Xue Gongzi, he will definitely not refuse. ”

He Linwan looked curious, "Why does Xue Ge care so much?"

Cao Shi shook his head and refused to speak, but said: "You don't have to worry about this, you know that the second aunt can help you achieve your wishes." ”

He Lin said later: "In this case, why didn't the second aunt let the Xue family propose to the fourth sister in the first place? If it was the Xue family, the grandmother and the second uncle would not refuse, right? In this way, the fourth sister would not have to enter the palace to participate in the draft." ”

"I don't want Zhen'er to marry into the Xue family, the Xue family is not a good match. After Cao Shi subconsciously finished speaking, he suddenly reacted, and hurriedly added, "I mean that the Xue family is not suitable for Zhen'er. ”

He Linwan didn't care about Cao's words, but just asked, "Who is that person in the mouth of the second aunt?

Cao's face changed slightly when she heard this, but soon she said in a natural tone: "It's a relative of my mother's family, you don't recognize it." Ah Wan, the second aunt told you this to tell you, as long as you help me protect Zhen'er's safety, and finally let her fail to go home and marry on her own, I will help you get what you want. ”

He Linwan looked surprised, "You want to make the fourth sister lose the election?"

Cao nodded, "This is also the purpose of my coming to you, I know that you are smart, and when the time comes, I will help Zhen'er think of ideas." ”

He Lin said later: "I understand what the second aunt means, but how can you prove that you can help me get what I want?"
