The patriarch was old and refined, and suddenly his eyes lit up and nodded: "This matter is wrapped up in me, and I will keep it to help you get things done." ”

When the people in the village had this idea before, he was still worried that Lin Ruan would be disgusted. After all, she grew up in Linjia Village, and the girl in Linjia Village is so bold that it is easy for people to misunderstand Lin Ruan.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ruan didn't mind at all, and was even willing to provide an opportunity for the girls in Linjia Village to fight for it!

If someone really makes the prince take a fancy to this, then the scenery of their Linjia Village in the next few decades will be settled!

It's exciting just to think about it!

Lin Ruan smiled and nodded, said something else to the patriarch, and left with the people.

As soon as Lin Ruan left, the patriarch began to carefully select those who wanted to climb the high branches, since he was going to serve the prince, he had to choose someone who was good-looking and did things properly.

Otherwise, if you want to find someone with a clear brain, you really want the prince to take a fancy to it, and if there is a disaster in the future, then their entire Lin family will have to be finished.

The patriarch was thinking carefully here, but he didn't want his daughter-in-law, Lin Hongyan's mother to just hide in the corner and hear Lin Ruan's conversation with him.

So the red goose girl's mind also became active.

Her own two daughters are out of play, the eldest daughter Lin Hongyan is already married, and the younger daughter is not yet ten years old, and the prince will never be able to take a fancy to her.

However, there is still a girl in her mother's family!

The girls in Linjia Village can fight for opportunities, and so can the girls of her mother's family! After all, the prince is the prince of the Great Zhou, and he is not from Linjia Village.

So Hongyan Niang couldn't take care of anything, and hurriedly went out to her parents' house to carry a letter.

Of course Lin Ruan knew that Red Goose Niang was eavesdropping, she deliberately did not debunk it, she knew Red Wild Goose Niang's character too well, no matter what happened, as long as Red Wild Goose Niang knew, it would mean that the whole village, no, it was people from several nearby villages, they would know.

This looks like the sea of people who want to climb the high branches, and the time will ......

Tsk, it's good to be a prince, this row of mountains and seas of beautiful blessings!

Lin Ruan walked on the way home, smiling and gloating.

The patriarch's efficiency is fast, and in the afternoon, the girls who came to "help" came over.

The prince looked at the girls who were showing off their flowers, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to go out, and he nested in Lin Han's room to read.

The green calyx and the little girls held back their laughter, I really didn't expect that the prince would have someone who was afraid.

Lin Ruan felt that this was not enough, so he told the girls that he was short of manpower and needed their help to entertain the prince.

When the girls came, they got the advice of the patriarch, and now they got Lin Ruan's permission, and they all felt like they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they thought of a way to express themselves, this one was to eat, and that one was to send fruit. There aren't many things that peasant girls know, but they are all very simple, and even if they want to climb high branches, they can't be too unrestrained in the end.

Therefore, the prince couldn't pull his face to reprimand them, so he could only let the guards guard the door and prevent these girls from approaching.

When it was getting late, the girls had to go home first, so the prince quickly left Linjia Village with people, and decided to go to Linjia Village as little as possible before the sweet potato seedlings could be transplanted.

Lin Ruan looked at the back of the prince who fled in a hurry with a bit of despair, and grinned.

Small, I can't beat you and scold you, and I can't answer you.

The prince took the men and horses back to his residence in Yulin County, which was Jinyiwei's stronghold in Yulin County, that is, the house where Yao Sangongzi used to be.

As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw one of his henchmen coming towards him: "Your Highness, Prince Xiao is here." ”

The prince raised his eyebrows: "It's coming quite quickly, what about people?" ”

"Inside."

The prince lifted his robe and strode into the mansion.

Xiao Jingchen had been here for a while, and he was sitting in the hall waiting for the prince.

As soon as the prince came closer, he smiled and said, "I thought that the first time you arrived, you would go to see the county lord of Fuyou first." ”

Xiao Jingchen got up and saluted him: "Minister, see the prince." ”

"No courtesy." The prince waved his hand and walked to the top and sat down, "Cousin is always so polite. ”

Xiao Jingchen got up, sat back down, and continued to taste the flowers carefully.

When the prince saw that he did not say a word, he did not speak, and the two of them sat quietly.

The guards next to him, Liang Twelve and the others all felt that the temperature in this hall was getting lower and lower.

In the end, the crown prince couldn't hold on and opened his mouth first: "Cousin came back to Huaiyang Mansion this time, but it was for official business?" ”

"Private matters."

Xiao Jingchen was simple and straightforward.

The prince raised his lips and smiled: "Can I ask, what is the matter?" ”

Xiao Jingchen said lightly: "I want to ask Your Highness to be a witness to the marriage between me and the Lord of Fuyou County." ”

"Poof-" The prince was drinking tea, and this sudden sentence made him squirt out the tea in a very frustration.

wiped the water stains from the side of his mouth, and then glared at the other party: "Are you kidding Lone?" ”

Xiao Jingchen raised his eyes to look at him: "Minister, never joke. The minister came over this time, brought the official media and the dowry, and invited King Shen and Princess Shen together, why, on the way back just now, didn't the prince meet King Shen and their convoy? ”

The prince recalled that on the way back to work, he had not met anything at all.

That's not the point, though.

"Cousin, the purpose of Lone's visit to Huaiyang Mansion this time, you also know it in your heart, Lin Ruan, Lone also appreciates it."

Xiao Jingchen not only did not change his face at all, but even smiled proudly, "She is so good and good, people who appreciate her are afraid that they can line up from Linjia Village to the Kyoto County Lord's Mansion." ”

The prince's face was a little not good-looking, Xiao Jingchen turned a corner and told him that there were more people who admired Lin Ruan, and he was only one of them.

Nothing more.

However, the crown prince is always the prince, and his face only changed for a moment, and then returned to normal, "But Lone is different, Lone came this time, and it is also the intention of my father." He also admires the Fuyou County Lord, and you and the Fuyou County Lord are not currently married, so Lone still has a chance. ”

Xiao Jingchen smiled: "Your Highness has never had a chance. ”

The prince raised his eyebrows: "How can you be so sure?" You must know that as long as your father decrees, whether it is you or her, you must accept your fate. ”

Xiao Jingchen said lightly: "Then the prince can let the emperor decree marriage now." ”

The crown prince suddenly remembered that Lin Ruan was holding a jade pendant given to her by the emperor in her hand. That jade pendant can make the emperor promise Lin Ruan a condition, as long as it is not a matter of treason, the emperor must agree.

Suddenly, the prince felt that it was not interesting. "Since you have hole cards in your hand, why don't you light them up earlier?"

Xiao Jingchen smiled, "Since it's a hole card, it naturally won't be lit too early." Your Highness, how about we make a deal? ”
