After the decree of the draft was issued, the two young ministers of Yuanma Temple were much more cordial to him. However, as a Shangguan, he is more reserved, and there are some things that he will not say. But colleagues don't have so many scruples.

A colleague surnamed Li, who was at the same level as Lin Chengyu, said to him very bluntly: "Lord Lin, Ling Yuan is going to run for Biqueping High School." When the time comes, Lord Lin will be on the rise, but don't forget us. ”

His wife went to Lin's house to eat full moon wine not long ago, and when she came back, she was full of praise for Qingshu.

Lin Chengyu hurriedly said: "Master Li, the little girl is still young and doesn't understand everything, and she doesn't dare to let her run for election. If you collide with a nobleman, it will be a great sin. ”

Lord Li was stunned: "Lord Lin means that you are not ready to let Ling Yuan run for election?" ”

After getting the exact answer, this Master Li also sincerely persuaded him, meaning that he could not delay the child's good future.

It's a pity that Lin Chengyu was unmoved.

Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, Lord Li exclaimed: "Lord Lin really loves Ling Yuan. ”

In his heart, he felt that Lin Chengyu was a fool, and he let go of such a good opportunity. It's a pity that he doesn't have a daughter of the right age, otherwise he would have let his daughter participate in the election for a bright future.

Later, several people came to talk to him about this, and Lin Chengyu said that he would not let Qingshu run for election.

These words soon reached the ears of Mrs. Cui, and she immediately took a carriage to the Lin Mansion.

Cui Xueying knew her intentions, and said with a bitter face: "I persuaded the master for a long time, but he just didn't agree. Say that once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and it is difficult to see each other in the future. ”

Mrs. Cui said with a smile: "I didn't know that my brother-in-law loved my daughter so much. ”

As far as she knew, Lin Chengyu didn't care about these two daughters before. It was only later that Lin Qingshu performed very well that he became interested. It's a pity that Lin Qingshu is also a good person, and he has long seen through Lin Chengyu's nature, so the relationship between father and daughter is not good. But no matter how bad it is, it's his own father, and some things can be decided.

Cui Xueying had already thought of her words and said, "Sister-in-law, my father-in-law has always loved children. It's just that Qingshu is too independent and stubborn to live in, which makes people misunderstand. But in the end, it is the blood of her relatives, who is willing to let her enter the palace. The old man and the villain are frivolous, in case we are wronged after marrying the prince, we can't stand up for her. ”

Cui Xueying couldn't believe herself, let alone Mrs. Cui: "Xueying, you don't have to tell me about these falsehoods. Tell me what you're afraid of. ”

Cui Xueying regards the two Lin Qingshu sisters as thorns in the flesh, but Lin Qingshu has money and backers, and she can't help her at all. Now that there is such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can she be willing to miss it. Unless, she has some tricks to be caught by Lin Qingshu.

Naturally, the truth can't be told to Mrs. Cui, Cui Xueying said: "Sister-in-law, I can't be the master of this matter, and I can't help it if the master doesn't agree." ”

Even if she told others that Qingshu threatened to kill her, as long as Lin Chengyu didn't admit it, outsiders wouldn't believe it.

Mrs. Cui said earnestly: "Xue Ying, the opportunity is only this time, if you miss it, there will be no more." ”

Cui Xueying shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law, the master is in charge of everything in the family, and I can't help it." ”

Mrs. Cui saw that she didn't change her words, so she had to say, "Then you can persuade your uncle well." ”

After the others left, Cui Xueying leaned on the head of the bed and said, "Mom, why do you say that sister-in-law wants Qingshu to run so much?" She can't afford to be early, how can she be so concerned if she doesn't have benefits. ”

Mother Deng said: "Madame's brother is now serving as the chief historian of the Qin Palace, madam, do you think this is what the second prince means?" ”

Cui Xueying's face changed: "You mean that the second prince has taken a fancy to Lin Qingshu?" If so, it's troublesome. ”

When Lin Chengyu came back, Cui Xueying told him her guess: "I heard that the second prince likes women with beautiful appearances, if he takes a fancy to Qingshu, and the master does not let Qingshu run for election, I am afraid that he will not give up." ”

Lin Chengyu was shocked, but quickly said, "This is just your guess. The second prince is a nobleman, and he can't get any kind of woman. ”

Cui Xueying said: "I'm worried that the second prince will send someone to talk to you about this, so the lord should think of countermeasures as soon as possible." ”

Sure enough, two days later, the long history around His Royal Highness the Second Prince found him.

If there was no threat from Qingshu before, Lin Chengyu would definitely agree, but now he doesn't have the courage to do so.

Luo Changshi saw that the temptation could not be successful, and said with a calm face: "Lord Lin, it is her blessing that Your Highness can take a fancy to your daughter, you don't want to toast or eat and drink." ”

Lin Chengyu said with a smile: "My lord, the little girl Pu Liu's posture is not worthy of such love from His Royal Highness." ”

Luo Changshi brushed his sleeves away.

After thinking about it, Lin Chengyu went to find Qingshu: "I see that His Royal Highness is really interested in you." Even if you escape the draft, he will use other methods to force you. Qingshu, you have to be careful when you travel on weekdays. ”

He actually wanted to persuade Qingshu to run, but he didn't have the courage to look at her cold expression.

Qingshu hummed and said, "You don't have to worry about me, as long as I don't want to, he won't dare to do anything to me." ”

The reason why she wanted to stay in Wenhuatang was because this was the territory of the eldest princess. If she didn't want King Qin to use his power to force her, the eldest princess would definitely come forward.

When Lin Chengyu heard this, he felt as if he was soaking in a yellow lotus, and he was miserable.

Qing Shu looked at him and said, "King Qin is not only as strong as fire and water with the fifth prince, King Zhao, but he also has a tense relationship with the Xiao family. So you don't have to worry, he won't last long. ”

Lin Chengyu's heart was beating wildly, and it took a while to hold back the shock in his heart and ask, "Qingshu, then which prince do you think has a good future?" ”

Qing Shu sneered and said, "Do you want to learn from the dragon's skills? But you don't look at how many of the courtiers who participated in the succession got a good end. And at your level, you can only be used as cannon fodder. ”

Lin Chengyu's face became quite ugly.

Qingshu said: "Since ancient times, those who want to take shortcuts have fallen to pieces nine times out of ten. If you really want the Lin family to be for a long time, teach Brother Wen and Brother Yuan well, they are the foundation of the Lin family's prosperity. ”

If Lin Chengyu is convicted, they will be the daughters of the criminals. It doesn't matter if she doesn't want to get married, but An An is difficult to marry into a good family.

Lin Chengyu looked up at Qing Shu and said with a wry smile: "Qing Shu, if you are a son, our Lin family will be prosperous." ”

is not only smart and able to stretch and bend, but also ruthless, and has a long-term vision. If you take the official career, you will definitely be able to reach a high position, but unfortunately the Lin family is almost so lucky.

Qingshu glanced at him and said lightly: "Don't think about these things that you don't have, cultivate Brother Wen and Brother Yuan'er well." ”

Brother Yuan doesn't know yet, but Lewen has a good talent. If it is cultivated, there is hope for the imperial examination in the future.
