Lin Ruan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will definitely go when I have time." Get busy, I'm going home. ”

Lin Tiezhu hurriedly leaned over to the side of the road to make way for Lin Ruan.

Lin Ruan walked past him and walked towards the small courtyard.

Lin Tiezhu watched her walk away, and couldn't help but raise his arm and wipe his eyes. His fate with Master is really over.

Lin Ruan was also a little uncomfortable in her heart, people were not grass and trees, even if it had been more than half a year, she was still a little sad when she saw Lin Tiezhu again.

It's just that there are some people and things that can't go back, and they can't go back.

For example, she and the Zhou family, since the Zhou family quit the work of the workshop, the Zhou family moved out of Linjia Village, and now the people who take over the workshop are Uncle Saturday and his wife. Wednesday Lang also resigned from the taste of Qingzhou City, and the family set up a shop in the city and started a small business.

The Zhou family has completely drawn a line with her, and they don't want to deal with her anymore.

In fact, this is also very good, at least there is no need to force the Zhou family to pretend to be unintentional and associate with her, which makes the Zhou family feel even more sad.

Looking up at the sky, Lin Ruan sighed, people, you still have to look forward, now it's like this, it's good.

Lowering his head again, Lin Ruan put away the sadness in his heart and walked in the direction of home.

In the following days, Lin Ruan personally instructed the villagers to do field management, hoeing, turning vines, and topdressing, which seemed simple, but in fact it was a bit exquisite. But these things are nothing to the crops.

While explaining the field management to the villagers, Lin Ruan began to plan the layout of the two mountains on the other side of Lin'an City, and also took time to accompany the old couple of Shenjun Wang to visit the mountains and rivers, and he was very busy every day.

Just when Lin Ruan was busy and had no skills, the prince personally came to the door to resign.

"Your Highness is going back to Kyoto?"

King Shen Jun was a little surprised, "Didn't His Highness come here to take charge of the promotion of sweet potatoes?" ”

The prince smiled and said: "The matter of sweet potatoes, in fact, Lone basically can't do anything, so he won't compete with the county lord for credit." However, I don't want to go back to Beijing, but I want to walk around and take a look. Go and see with your own eyes what the Great Zhou under the rule of my father looks like, and whether it is really as prosperous as officials everywhere say. ”

Lin Ruan raised his eyebrows and glanced up at the prince.

The prince smiled at her, "County Lord, can you accompany you to send Gu on a ride?" ”

This obviously had something to say to her, Lin Ruan nodded, got up and walked out with the prince.

The two walked in the direction of the entrance of the village one after the other, but the prince was silent all the way.

Lin Ruan couldn't figure out what he wanted to do, so he specially asked her to send it off, but he didn't say a word.

Seeing that he was about to walk to the place where the prince's carriage stopped, the prince suddenly stopped and said, "Lin Ruan, you really don't think about being with Lonely?" ”

Lin Ruan was stunned suddenly, a little confused.

Is the prince joking with her?

But after taking a closer look at the prince, he found that there was incomparable seriousness in his eyes.

So she asked, "Your Highness, is this going to ruin the agreement between you and Xiao Jingchen?" ”

The prince said seriously: "If it's to get you, I think it's worth it." ”

Lin Ruan smiled, "May I ask, why did Your Highness change your mind?" Was it because of what I said that day? ”

The crown prince nodded very frankly, "When my father and I first mentioned that I would accept you, I actually minded a little. Everyone knows about you and Jing Chen, and Jing Chen and I have a deep relationship, and he is a rare talent, I don't think it's worth it to turn against him for the sake of a woman. ”

"But my father's insistence, coupled with the persuasion of the staff, makes me think that this idea is not bad, at least marrying you, you can save a lot of things. When my father asked me to come to Huaiyang Mansion, I didn't really feel the need. It's just the daughter of a courtier, and a holy decree can make you accept your fate and enter the palace, so why bother to let me come to Huaiyang Mansion to get along with you day and night. ”

"But in the days I have been in contact with you, I suddenly found that in fact, my understanding of you is too one-sided, you not only have courage and insight, but also unique opinions and ideas that many people do not have. Only then did I understand why my father had such a high opinion of you. I also realized that your real value is not the Shen family, but yourself. ”

Lin Ruan raised his eyebrows, this prince was quite honest and said all these words. "Thank you Your Highness for affirming my ability, but my decision will not change, let me serve the Great Zhou Dynasty, I have nothing to say. But if I am allowed to enter the palace, I will never agree. ”

The prince was puzzled: "Why? Do you know what you will get when you enter the palace? Loneliness can give you supreme glory and a position that no one can match. I can even promise you that your child will be able to ascend to great positions in the future. ”

Lin Ruan looked at him with a smile: "What about other than that?" ”

The prince was stunned suddenly: "Besides? ”

Lin Ruan smiled and nodded: "Yes, Your Highness, the three points you mentioned are not attractive to me. Glory, power, and even a son who can be an emperor may be a fatal temptation for others, but for me, it really doesn't really serve any purpose. So apart from these three points, do you have any other chips? ”

The prince looked at her with a good look for a long time, and then smiled, "What you want, Lonely, can't give it." But Gu thinks that what I give you is enough to withstand what Jing Chen can give you. ”

Lin Ruan smiled: "But those are not what I want. I just want to be an ordinary person, guard a person, and live an ordinary life for a lifetime, even if it is boring, it is better than fighting for blood in a group of women. Moreover, I have always been ruthless in my work, and I have left no room for the enemy. I'm afraid that in the future, the beauties in the harem will all be broken by me, and His Highness will not be able to explain to their relatives at that time. ”

"I'm small-minded, and I can't tolerate any woman around my husband, and I can't even tolerate Yahuan. My husband can only guard me alone in this life, even if I look old, even if I become hateful, he can only guard me. I am free and loose by nature, I like to change unrestrained, and the life I want to live most in the future is to play with my husband and make the world my home. Your Highness is willing to give up everything you have for me and be a pair of idle clouds and wild cranes? ”

The prince felt that this kind of thinking was simply nonsense, but looking at Lin Ruan's serious appearance, he knew that what Lin Ruan said was true.

She really doesn't have a heart for power and glory.

In the end, the prince was defeated and smiled at her with relief: "That's it, then I wish you all the best of luck." ”

Lin Ruan smiled back: "I also wish His Highness a bright future and a name that will go down in history." ”

The prince smiled confidently, "Lonely will live up to the expectations of my father and the emperor, and live up to the trust of the world." Lin Nguyen, there will be a period later. ”

Waving his hand at Lin Ruan, the prince strode towards his car.

Soon, the car started slowly and left Linjia Village.
