Chapter 9: Uncle Qingpeng
Lin Wan and Wang Biyun walked to her Biyun Residence together, and the interior decoration was mostly light green, which made Lin Wan feel very fresh and pleasant.
Lin Wan said yearningly: "I really envy Sister Biyun, my aunt loves you so much, I don't need you to ask for peace in the morning, and lunch can be eaten whenever you go." Alas, what a comfort!"
Wang Biyun showed an expression of enjoyment on her face, and said proudly: "Yes, my mother followed my father in Fujian, I grew up with my grandmother since I was a child, and she is not too restrictive to my temperament, my grandfather is more serious, but he is not willing to be too strict with me, my younger brothers and sisters are in Fujian, only I am by my grandparents' side, of course I am favored." As he spoke, he showed a discouraged expression and said, "However, I also envy you, there are so many brothers and sisters in your family, how lively they are." I only have my grandparents and grandmothers, and I don't have any playmates at home. ”
Lin Wan didn't want to mention the Lin family's bad things, and smiled noncommittally: "You, don't be in the midst of blessings and don't know blessings." Moreover, there is Aunt Yu who loves you. ”
Wang Biyun pretended to be angry and said: "You also said that my aunt actually hurts you the most, every time I go into the palace to see her, she says, I haven't seen Wan'er for a long time, look at your skin, how can Wan'er be half well-behaved and lovely, my aunt is worried that you won't be able to find a good mother-in-law in the future." Wang Biyun learned the tone and movements of the Jade Concubine, and said it very interestingly.
The two laughed for a while. Wang Biyun is very talkative, from the interesting stories of childhood to clothes and jewelry.
Lin Wan seemed to suddenly remember, and said casually: "I heard that Mother Chen's clothes and jewelry in my mother's Liying Pavilion are all first-class, and I just recently arrived with a batch of new goods, I really want to go and see it." ”
Wang Biyun immediately became interested, and there were only two of them in the room, so she leaned into Lin Wan's ear and whispered, "Let's go and have a look." ”
Lin Wan said in embarrassment: "My aunt and my grandmother will not agree." After speaking, he looked at his clothes and said, "Besides, it's not appropriate for our two little girls to go out like this." ”
Wang Biyun looked excited, and said in a low voice: "We took the maid ring to change clothes and went out through the back door." ”
Lin Wan hesitated, Wang Biyun had already called her henchman Huan Ling'er to come in to help find a change of clothes, and Lin Wan also called Fluttershy in.
The two young ladies changed the clothes of the little maid, and the two maids also changed into inconspicuous coarse cloth clothes, and Lin Wan also took it upon herself to put on some makeup for the four of them, making them look like ordinary people from big families.
Wang Biyun seems to go out like this often, everything is very well prepared, and she looks good when she walks.
The maids in Wang Biyun's courtyard were obviously accustomed to it, and none of them came out all the way, and no one cast a strange look.
Lin Wan instructed Luliu to stay, and Luliu understood and nodded in response.
When he came to the back door, he saw that there was a very inconspicuous carriage parked outside the door, which could be hired by ordinary people, and Qin Feng was standing next to the carriage.
Lin Wan pulled Wang Biyun into the carriage, and after sitting down, Wang Biyun looked at Lin Wan with a puzzled expression, Lin Wan confessed embarrassedly: "Good sister, it's me who is not good, in fact, I have something to go to my mother's shop to see the steward, I didn't tell you directly, you won't blame me." ”
Wang Biyun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You originally planned to go alone and not take me, didn't you?"
Lin Wan smirked and acquiesced.
Wang Biyun looked very angry and said, "Hmph, you promise me that next time you have such a fun thing, you are not allowed to leave me, and I will forgive you." ”。
Lin Wan hurriedly nodded in agreement, Wang Biyun became happy again, and talked about what she had seen and heard when she ran out of the house a few times ago.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped, the four of them jumped out of the carriage, Qin Feng parked the carriage at the corner of the street, and led the four of them into the Shadow Fragrance Pavilion through the back door.
A tall middle-aged man stood in the courtyard with his back to them. Hearing the door open, he turned around. The man was wearing a black robe, tied with long hair, elegant and elegant, and handsome, on par with Lin Wan'er's father Lin Zhihuai, in Lin Wan's opinion, she preferred men with this temperament.
The man looked at Lin Wan fixedly, stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Is it Wan'er?"
Lin Wan stepped forward and saluted, and said with a smile: "Wan'er has seen Uncle Qingpeng. ”
Zhao Qingpeng is Zhao Zhengxiang's adopted son, who grew up in the Zhao Mansion since he was a child, has never been married, and manages all the affairs of the Zhao family in the capital.
Wang Biyun also stepped forward to salute: "Uncle Qingpeng, I am Biyun." ”
Zhao Qingpeng nodded in return, and invited the two into the room to talk. The furnishings in the room are simple, and there is a bookcase and a chair on the left, which should be used by Zhao Qingpeng for office. On the right, there are four chairs and two coffee tables.
sat down and said a few polite words to greet each family, knowing that Lin Wan and Uncle Qingpeng had something to say, Wang Biyun called Yahuan and asked the store guy to lead her to the front store to look at the clothes and jewelry.
Lin Wan said straight to the point: "Uncle Qingpeng, Wan'er will ask Aunt Yu to help the emperor order that grandfather and second uncle return to Beijing as soon as possible, please Uncle Qingpeng also bring a message to grandfather, so that they can prepare early, if they don't get the emperor's will, they must also find a way to ask for the decree to return to Beijing as soon as possible." ”
Zhao Qingpeng looked frightened and blurted out, "Is something wrong with Liniang?" Lin Wan saw obvious concern and affection on his face, and confirmed his thoughts. I heard Chen's mother say that Zhao Qingpeng and Zhao Liniang grew up together since childhood, and Zhao Qingpeng has no woman around him so far, so I guessed if he had affection for Zhao Liniang, but now it seems that this is indeed the case.
Zhao Qingpeng noticed his gaffe, and said with a straight face: "Last night, Mother Chen asked Xiao San'er to bring a message to say that you are coming to the store today, and you have something to discuss, and you didn't explain the situation, I thought it was about Liniang's illness." Liniang has been sick all these years, and the doctor said that it was a heart disease, although I didn't believe it, but I didn't find any other problems, did Wan'er know anything?
Lin Wan nodded and said, "Yes, my mother has been hit by a rare poison, and there is no antidote, but if you stop taking this poison now, it will be too late." But what Wan'er is worried about is that the enemy is dark and I am clear, and if the other party has a backup move, I am afraid that it will be impossible to prevent it. ”
Zhao Qingpeng's expression was solemn, and the green tendons of his clenched fists were bulging.
Lin Wan sighed in his heart and comforted: "Uncle Qingpeng, now that the situation is under control, don't worry too much. If Uncle Qingpeng has the right manpower, can you give me a few people?"
Zhao Qingpeng immediately agreed: "We don't lack manpower, what kind of people does Wan'er need?"
Lin Wan took out the note given by Chen's mother before and handed it to Zhao Qingpeng, saying, "Send someone to pick up this girl first, just say that Miss Seven sent someone to pick it up, and let her go back with me and Biyun later." Besides, do you have a little girl here who knows martial arts?"
Zhao Qingpeng walked to the door, handed the note to the secret guard, gave a few instructions, and walked back again, saying, "I have already arranged for someone to call the female guard of Huiwu, and she will come immediately." The girl you said has already gone to pick it up. ”
Lin Wan took the initiative to explain: "Miss Wang Qi knows how to heal, and with her, there should be no problem with her mother's illness." Then he told the matter of the royal doctor coming to see Zhao Liniang from beginning to end.
After the tea, a little girl about twelve years old, not tall, but very sturdy, and average-looking, walked in, bowed and saluted, "Qingtong has seen the master." ”
Zhao Qingpeng looked at Lin Wan, Lin Wan nodded and said, "Qingtong, I am the seventh lady of Lin Xiangfu, are you willing to follow me in the future and be loyal to me?"
Qingtong glanced up at Commander Zhao, saw Zhao Qingpeng nodding, looked at Lin Wan again, and said respectfully and firmly: "Qingtong is willing!"
Lin Wan smiled: "From now on, you will follow me." Fluttershy is called and asked to lead Qingtong down and teach her some basic precautions.
As soon as Fluttershy and the others go out, the Dark Guard arrives to report that Wang Qi has already arrived.
Wang Qi is delicate and lovely, her hands are white and slender, she is very dexterous at first glance, she has two dimples on her face when she laughs, and she is not shy, and she looks at Lin Wan and salutes and calls Miss, very generous.
Lin Wan liked Wang Qi very much, and asked with a smile: "Xiaoqi, what are you good at besides medical skills?"
Wang Qi smiled and replied: "I can cook, my master used to love to eat the food I cooked, and he also taught me some medicinal food." ”
Lin Wan nodded and said okay, let her go out to find Fluttershy herself, and she went generously.
Zhao Qingpeng walked to the door and made a few gestures, and walked in with four secret guards, lined up, standing respectfully aside. Zhao Qingpeng turned to Lin Wan and said, "I'll give you four more secret guards." They are all the best of the Dark Guards. ”
The four of them looked ordinary, and they were all less than twenty years old.
The first square-faced fist said: "Subordinate to Gale Wind, good at light skills." ”
The second slightly thin fist said: "Subordinate spirit sword, good at swordsmanship." ”
The third thick-eyed fist said: "Subordinate Yi Dao, good at knife skills." ”
The fourth was a little younger, and he hugged his fists and said: "The subordinate hidden soul is good at tracking." ”
Lin Wan nodded, expressing great satisfaction, and asked, "Are you willing to follow me?"
The four of them clasped their fists and said in unison: "Swear to follow the master to the death!"
Lin Wan Zhengse said: "I want you to be absolutely loyal to me, and you must obey my orders absolutely." But your life is equally important, you need to know how to protect yourself and learn to do it in the best way possible. Got it?"
"Yes, master. The four of them said in unison.
"Call me Miss from now on. Alright, you stand down first, I call you by name, and you can show up. Lin Wan commanded.
"Yes, miss. As soon as the words fell, the four of them turned around and walked out of the room, and instantly disappeared in the dark.
