Chapter 278: Peace of Mind
The old lady stared at Lin Zhixuan and said, "Listening to your words, you don't seem to be familiar with Prince Jing, so why does the princess's concubine come to the Li family to prepare a gift for you alone?"
Lin Zhixuan's expression remained unchanged, and she was secretly thinking about words in her heart, why did Concubine Meng prepare a gift for herself, the best explanation is that she saved Meng Zelan that day, but she only explained the pros and cons to Li Miaosheng at that time, because the Li family abandoned the emperor and went to Wei Mingxu to save Meng Zelan.

I can't say it, otherwise, it will seem that I am too shrewd, and I even understand the general trend of the court, which will inevitably arouse suspicion.
Lin Zhixuan hesitated for a moment before she slowly raised her head, looked at the old lady timidly and said, "I don't know, when Concubine Meng came, I was still outside with Cousin Jing, and I didn't even have time to thank you." I think, maybe, maybe it's because of my brother. ”
Lin Zhixuan's words are very serious, because Lin Jiahong saved Prince Jing, but Lin Jiahong is no longer in the capital after all, so I thought of Lin Zhixuan, a little girl.
It makes sense.
The old lady twisted her hand with a rosary and stared at Lin Zhixuan. Is this girl really cowardly with a little cleverness, or is she so shrewd that she can not miss any flaws.
After a while, the old lady put away the Buddhist beads, held them in her hand, looked up at Lin Zhixuan and said, "Oh? Princess Jing is really careful." I just don't know what good things I was rewarded, but I also showed them to open my eyes. ”
The old lady put away her carelessness, such a serious posture made Lin Zhixuan more and more respectful, and quickly lowered her eyes and said: "It's not a precious thing, only a hundred taels of silver." ”
A hundred taels of silver?
The old lady also glanced at Lin Zhixuan in a little surprise, what kind of gift is this?
Lin Zhixuan was afraid that the old lady would become more and more suspicious, since she wanted to see it, let her see it enough, so she continued: "If the old lady wants to see it, Qiu Ju, go back and get it for the old lady immediately." ”
Qiu Ju responded, and then she realized how wise it was for Lin Zhixuan to ask her to find an identical ingot of silver and put it on, thinking that the third girl had already prevented someone from suspecting what Wei Mingxu had given her, and she was going to come to check.
Not long after, Qiu Ju came over with a hundred taels of silver on the tray, all of which were silver ingots of ten taels and one ingots, which seemed to be a reward for the festival in the palace, or a scene for singing on the stage.
What does a hundred taels of silver mean?
Is there any moral or implication?
The old lady picked up a silver ingot and checked it repeatedly for a long time, but she didn't see anything wrong, but she still felt that this matter was unusual, and the old lady said: "This silver is weird, why don't I exchange it for a silver ticket for you, it's more convenient for you to bring it with you." ”
Lin Zhixuan was surprised that the old lady wanted to leave the silver, thinking that she wanted to investigate it carefully, but fortunately, she took out the hollow silver first, Lin Zhixuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was also a fluke, but her face did not change color and said: "The old lady is still thoughtful, and Ah Zhi thanked the old lady." ”
There is no retention, no hesitation.
This confuses the old lady, is this really just a hundred taels of ordinary silver?
The old lady wrinkled her brows and thought, she didn't say anything more, she just asked people to exchange money with Lin Zhixuan, and let her go back to Qiushuangzhai with Lin Ruoxuan.
It wasn't until Lin Zhixuan walked out of Qiushuangzhai that the old lady remembered that she was called here to go to the outer courtyard with Li Jing privately. Although she is not from the Li family, she now lives in the Li family, and if such a thing is spread, it will also make the Li family humiliated.
I am an elder, so I should reprimand two sentences no matter what, but I ended up dealing with her for a long time, but I forgot about it.
But now that the girl has been let go, it is difficult to call back and reprimand her again.
The old lady pinched a silver ingot in her hand, hey, that's it!
Lin Ruoxuan was already confused, didn't she say that she was looking for Lin Zhixuan for Li Jing's business?
Why did you go this way, it was like asking Li Jing if the matter was fake, and whether Wei Mingxu's gift to Lin Zhixuan was true?
While walking back, Lin Ruoxuan asked Lin Zhixuan: "What kind of dumb riddle is the old lady playing with you? When have you seen Lord Jing?" ”
Lin Zhixuan said with a smile: "When I was in Jinling, I was pulled by Chu Nan to take a look at it from a distance. It's the same as today's incident, if my mother knows about this, maybe I'll have to be beaten like Li Jing, sister, don't mention this matter to others again. ”
Lin Ruoxuan was also scared when she heard this, so she stopped talking and stopped asking.
only said: "Fortunately, the old lady didn't reprimand you, but I was worried for a long time." ”
The corners of Lin Zhixuan's lips also hooked up a smile, perhaps, she forgot about it.
For some reason, Lin Zhixuan felt that tonight's night was very late.
The sun outside the window doesn't know when it will go down, and the moon doesn't know when it will rise.
As soon as it was night, Lin Zhixuan sent a few Dongmei Xialan early, saying that she had been scared for a day today, and she was tired, so she wanted to rest early.
Qiu Ju and Xia Lan naturally went back to sleep.
Lin Zhixuan sat in the room, guarding a dim candle flame, looking at the silver ingot on the table that looked very ordinary.
Qiu Ju accompanied her and looked at the silver with a smile: "Girl, do you say that this is the ingot of silver that we stuffed into the hands of Dr. Jishitang in Quyang that day?
Lin Zhixuan shook her head: "I don't know, haven't you always kept the silver? You don't know, how can I remember what they look like?"
It's just that since he would send such an ingot of silver, I think he was favored by Qu Yang's ingot of silver.
Could it be that in Quyang that day, after all, it was his own silver ingot that contacted his private family for him?
"Girl, it's nightfall, no one will come, let's pry open and see what's inside. ”
Lin Zhixuan glanced out uneasily, but saw that the lights in Lin Yaxuan's house were still on, but these days when she came to the Li family, Lin Yaxuan was very well-behaved, the door did not go out, and Lin Zhixuan's eyes were rare and clean.
It's just that now that I think about it, the injuries on her body should be healed.
Seeing that it was quiet outside, Lin Zhixuan finally nodded to Qiu Ju, Qiu Ju took a thin needle, because she had done too many such things, Qiu Ju was also familiar with the road, and with ingenuity, she easily picked up the bottom of the silver ingot, and a small paper ball was really exposed.
Qiu Ju's eyes lit up, and she quickly took it out and handed it to Lin Zhixuan, Lin Zhixuan slowly opened the small paper ball, and only two words were written on it, and Qiu Ju also came up to see it.
It's just: "Girl, what are these two words?"
The corners of Lin Zhixuan's lips hooked up a faint smile: "Peace of mind." ”
