Chapter 669: Rich and Rival Country
Zhou Changying looked at Lin Wan distressedly, and secretly thought, no wonder this kid is so sensible and reasonable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhao Liniang is weak by nature, and has been sick in bed for many years, Lin Wan survives in such a complex environment as Lin Xiangfu, and she has to learn to protect herself and protect her mother at a young age.
As for Lin Wan's falling into the water in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, Zhou Changying also knew about it, and he was very clear about the conspiracy and calculations. Zhou Changying has never had a good impression of the queen's three children, especially the crown prince Zhou Tianhong, who looks kind and benevolent on the outside, but in his bones he is the same as the queen Lu Jinyun, who is good at playing intrigue and trickery behind his back, but in fact, he is just a little clever.
Fortunately, Lin Wan was blessed by God and was rescued by Ning Wuwu, and by mistake, she helped her find the orphans of the Ning family. Zhou Changying looked at Lin Wan and Ning Wuwu in front of him, and couldn't help but feel soft in his heart. Although her child was no longer there before she was born, God treated her well, and sent her these two girls who were so good, so beautiful, and brought her hope and happiness, just like her daughters.
Zhou Changying turned his head to look at Wang Qi and ordered, "Xiaoqi, quickly check Wan'er's pulse and see how her illness is?"
Wang Qi nodded hurriedly, walked in front of Lin Wan, and put his wrist pillow on the table.
Lin Wan obediently stretched out her hand, rested her wrist on the wrist pillow, her smile was retracted, her eyes were lowered, and she was secretly worried in her heart, and she was also very afraid of the suffering that was coming soon, and she had to go through it every month.
Wang Qi put his fingers on Lin Wan's wrist, frowned slightly, and calmed down.
In the inner hall, it was suddenly so quiet that it was frightening, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Lin Wan's wrist, as if the slender snow-white wrist decided Lin Wan's life and death.
After a long time, Wang Qi withdrew his hand, his expression was a little heavy, obviously the diagnosis was not optimistic.
Zhou Changying first broke the silence and asked in a deep voice: "Xiaoqi, let's say, what is it?"
Wang Qi sighed lightly and replied slowly: "Miss has been taking medicine these days, although it has some help for the condition, but the effect is not too obvious, this time Miss may have to suffer some more." It's a bit dangerous, but with me, it's not life-threatening. ”
When Zhou Changying and Ning Wuwu heard this, they all turned their heads to look at Lin Wan, their eyes full of worry and distress.
Lin Wan smiled indifferently and said, "Master and Sister Wuwu don't have to worry about me, I've been through it several times, and I'm used to it." It's okay, just get through the first two days. Besides, with Xiaoqi here, she will help me relieve my pain. ”
Zhou Changying nodded helplessly and said, "That's the only way." Xiaoqi, go back to Wan'er, I'm almost better, and I don't need you to stay here all the time. ”
Lin Wan hurriedly refused: "Master, your leg disease is being treated, and the effect is also good, it is a critical moment, don't be careless." I'm not in a hurry, when I really need Xiaoqi to go back, I'll let Qingtong come to her. Besides, I have a worry-free sister by my side, and she'll take care of me too, won't she?"
Zhou Changying's face was embarrassed, he thought about it, looked at Wang Qi, and saw that Wang Qi nodded, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Okay, since that's the case, let Xiaoqi stay first, you take care of your body, if there is a little sign, quickly let someone notify us, you know?"
Lin Wan nodded heavily and said with a smile: "Yes, master, the apprentice obeys the order." ”
Zhou Changying smiled slightly and said, "Okay, it's not early, you and Wuwu go back quickly." Starting tomorrow, there may be a lot of guests in our house who come to congratulate us, and although most of them can be seen by us, some of them can't be shirked. ”
Ning Wuwu frowned slightly, of course she knew that these people were here to congratulate her, she was named the county lord of Wuwu, and she lived in the eldest princess's mansion, naturally there would be many people who took this to tie up Zhou Changying, Ning Wuwu, the main master, was just a foil.
Lin Wanwan smiled and persuaded: "Sister Wuwu, what is there to worry about, if someone comes to give a gift, you can accept it! It would be nice to be able to return half of what the court took at the beginning, and we had to make up the rest of the things ourselves. So, the more gifts, the better!"
Zhou Changying also nodded with a smile and said, "Wan'er is right, although the emperor will compensate you, the country is not rich, and what he can give you is far from enough for you to rebuild a huge Ning Mansion." The ancestral property of the Ning family will also need you to support it in the future, and these are not a small amount. I'll help you, though, and you don't have to worry too much. ”
Ning Wuwu smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Thank you, Auntie." ”
Zhou Changying shook his head and said, "I am just a relative like you, this eldest princess's mansion will be yours in the future, why are you polite to me?"
Lin Wan's eyes widened exaggeratedly, and she said enviously: "Sister Wuwu, then you are a rich woman! The master has a fief, Fuzhou is the richest state and county in Fujian, and others say that the eldest princess's mansion is rich and rivals the country!"
Zhou Changying shook his head with a chuckle, and said, "This eldest princess's mansion and all my properties can be left to you, but that fiefdom, after I have a hundred years, will be returned to the imperial court." If it is forcibly left to you, it will only bring disaster to you. ”
Lin Wan said in disbelief: "Master, do you say 'we'? do you mean, I also have a share?"
Zhou Changying nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, you are my only apprentice, and I also treat you as a daughter, and when you get married in the future, I will also give you a part of the property as your dowry, or private property." You and Wuwu are both my children, and the palms and backs of your hands are full of meat, and they both hurt the same. ”
Lin Wan's eyes were red with emotion, she took two steps forward, squatted down, hugged Zhou Changying, buried her head in her arms, and said gratefully: "Master, you are so good to me, I will definitely be filial to you in the future, even if I get married, I will often come to accompany you, and if I live here for ten days and half a month, can you drive me away." ”
Zhou Changying laughed happily, hugged Lin Wan, patted her back gently, and said softly: "Okay, good, it's too late for me to be happy, master, how could I drive you away?"
Lin Wan was tired of being in Zhou Changying's arms for a while, and said a few more pleasant words before getting up to say goodbye, and walked out of Luoying Garden with Ning Wuwu and towards their own courtyard.
The next day, sure enough, before dawn, the eldest princess's mansion was already lively. There was a long queue outside the house, all of which were officials from the capital and stewards sent by major families to give gifts and carriages loaded with gifts.
