The Dongshan Hou Mansion was quiet for a few days, during which the Hou Mansion was closed to customers, and the people outside couldn't peep into what was going on inside, only knowing that only the slaves who went in and out to buy vegetables could occasionally open the small door every day. Other than that, there are hardly any other figures going out.

The whole family was so affected by Lin Bixiang that they didn't dare to go out. Under the pressure of Lin Bixiang, her temper was even greater, and it was not pleasing to anyone.

"After all, it's the niece of our prime minister, and it's bullish." Lin Qiantan is not in the ranks of those who go out without a face.

She is a person who is busy making a lot of money in her hands, so she has no time to count herself and Lin Bixiang as "her own people".

Life is busy and fulfilling, and the marriage with the Chu family has not been affected. Although Lin Qiantan heard that Jiang Ningniang had tried to break up the marriage on this ground.

Lin Qiantan once met Jiang Ningniang and Jiang Zhiyue in a restaurant in the capital. It took Jiang Zhiyue a month or two to recover her body. Although the root of the disease fell, at least it was much better than Lin Bixiang. Jiang Ningniang took her to relax, but when she met Lin Qiantan, her mood was worse!

Lang Zhong said that although she is prone to slippery tires in the future, at least her fertility will not be affected.

Lin Bixiang suffered a big crime and was killed miserably. Whether Lin Qiantan did it or not, Yin Wei will calculate this account on Lin Qiantan's head.

A few of the girls in Lin Qiantan's room were called by Yin Wei and tried to coerce and lure them to find out the information.

It's a pity that Lin Qiantan is at home every day, either reading there or doing embroidery there, and even has the time to make a few close-fitting clothes for several female elders in the family. Yin Wei couldn't ask anything special, and secretly felt that Lin Qiantan was no longer the little girl she could control.

Lin Qiantan naturally also made clothes for Yin Wei to pay homage, and the more Yin Wei waited to make her mistakes, the more she worked hard to make mistakes in some things on the surface.

Except for the dowry, the two lived there.

Mama Gou was almost cleaned up by Lin Qiantan, although it was impossible to be loyal, but she could occasionally use it.

The so-called one has two, Mama Gou betrayed Yin Wei once, she can betray the second time, Lin Qiantan asked about Yin Wei, what she can say, Mama Gou will also say a sentence or two.

Although it seems useless to know that my mother-in-law has two small moles on her buttocks, who knows if she will be able to use it in the future.

Yin Wei prevented Lin Qiantan from taking back the dowry that Chu Ling had left for her, and her thoughts were of course to mean that Lin Qiantan had no money to use.

It's more of her own idea of playing that dowry.

In contrast, Shen said that Lin Qiantan's statement of looking at the dowry was obviously too reliable.

If it weren't for the presence of such a grandmother, it would probably be Shen Ning, holding that dowry in his hand, and he couldn't help but be greedy.

Lin Qiantan was knowledgeable, and Shen nodded and promised to return the dowry to Lin Qiantan. Lin Qiantan just couldn't see that some of the insignificant small objects had been touched by Shen Ning, and the bag was shoddy. Not only that, but she also took the initiative to send Shen Ning ancient cultural relics from five hundred years ago as a thank you gift for Shen Ning to guard the dowry for her.

This day was February 12, and Lin Qiantan had just taken Chu Ling's dowry back, so she went out with gongs and drums, making it look like she had never seen money and went out to enjoy it.

Outside is the Flower Dynasty Festival.

provoked Yin Wei to sneer and scold her in the mansion: "Look at her, she has never seen the world." At present, everyone in the house is a turtle with a shrunken head, and she shows off.

Lin Qiantan is indeed a hillbilly, she didn't get her dowry back before, she just added vegetables to herself in the house, and she had to pretend to be poor.

Take back the dowry, and many things don't have to be pretended to be too deliberate.

It's also a shame that Mama Gou can't read.

Lin Qiantan scribbled and changed those account books in front of her every day, and she thought she was practicing calligraphy.

However, Lin Qiantan is not afraid of how Mama Gou will continue to leak her traces.

Mama Gou's sons Gou Dong and Gou Xi now owe themselves a lot of debts - she was the one who lent money and made Mama Gou's mother and son bankrupt, and she was the one who lent money to Mama Gou to "pay back".

*

On the teahouse, Lin Qiantan invited Chen Jingrou, Gu Qingxuan and Zhang Yan to gather together, and several people ate and drank, talked and laughed, and were very happy. Mama Gou is honest now, even if the Song family is not there, she can control her with a big girl. She can come out with confidence.

It is said that like gathers things. Among the few people present, except for Gu Qingxuan, everyone else should be riddled with negative news.

But no one dislikes the Lin family's current affairs. Especially Zhang Yan, it is not an exaggeration for the Zheng Guogong Mansion to say that it is stormy, and the people here still dare to associate with her.

Gu Qingxuan knew some of the inside story of Lin Bixiang's pregnancy, but she kept a tight mouth, and she didn't even tell her personal big girl about the Lin family. Seeing that Lin Qiantan refused to speak, she also closed her mouth.

Those grievances and hatreds in the Lin family, Gu Qingxuan knows more or less a little. Gu Qingxuan was pampered and grew up, but she actually felt very sorry for people like Lin Qiantan.

In the box, a few people were talking very happily, and suddenly there was some noise in the aisle, and a few scholars came to talk about Emperor Tianlong's birthday for a while.

When they walked away, the little girls in the room began to talk.

Lin Qiantan's eyelashes flashed slightly, and she thought of what Wang Yuanzhao said the night before, when she took her out at night to eat crab roe noodles on West Street.

Wang Yuanzhao had contact with Yan Shao privately, and Lin Qiantan always knew about it. It is better to say that Wang Yuanzhao has never concealed all his whereabouts from Lin Qiantan. As long as he knows, Lin Qiantan asked, he will definitely say.

Yan Shao seemed to have suddenly evaporated from the world after failing to assassinate in the paddock, but in fact he was dormant. Although Wang Yuanzhao didn't know what his plans were, he also speculated.

Wang Yuanzhao said: "The king of the county seems to have a plot on the emperor's birthday."

Lin Qiantan is not a roundworm in Yan Shao's stomach, of course, she doesn't know what Yan Shao's plan is. However, when Wang Yuanzhao took out a certain object, Lin Qiantan was still a little surprised.

According to what Wang Yuanzhao said, Yan Shao had a plan, and originally wanted to use the Wang family's way.

But Wang Yuanzhao acted like he was far from being accepted in the Wang family - and this was indeed the case, and Yan Shao had to dispel his plans. A chess piece that can't be used, it's better to put it on hold first!

What Wang Yuanzhao was holding in his hand was a map handed over to him by Yan Shao: "The king of the county only said that if the matter fails again, tell me to join forces with the outside and go to the map here to pull the army out with the military talisman and answer him."

Lin Qiantan persuaded Wang Yuanzhao at that time not to interfere with Yan Shao's affairs.

Wang Yuanzhao said: "I don't plan to get involved, I will hand over this talisman to others." Yan Shao is not the only one available.

Wang Yuanzhao does pay attention to kindness and righteousness, but he is not a person who blindly cares about these.

Although he doesn't have much affection for the Wang family, Wang Shanya, his father, is really heartfelt and heartfelt for him. He can't stop messing around like he did when he came to the capital alone.

Yan Shao also knew Wang Yuanzhao's thoughts, but he didn't force him.

Lin Qiantan was like a ghost, and persuaded Wang Yuanzhao to leave the talisman. Wang Yuanzhao rarely rejected Lin Qiantan and was unwilling to do treacherous things.

Lin Qiantan was dual-minded, and the three in her ears were saying that Emperor Tianlong would go to Caichen Palace to hold a grand birthday banquet when he was forty years old.

When the time comes, the ministers will congratulate, and it will definitely be very lively.

The emperor's birthday banquet, the most lively is not singing and dancing, it is always the link for everyone to give birthday gifts. Gu Qingxuan and the others talked about the gifts they had prepared.

What the Gu family prepared was a set of calligraphy written by Gu Ping himself.

The last review invited everyone to his house to enjoy the peach blossoms, and Lin Qiantan did not forget that she left criticism for Gu Ping.

Gu Ping's words, everyone said that they were good, but only one person left a bad comment under Gu Ping's Mobao.

Gu Qingxuan was talking about this person.

"My grandfather said that he had been famous for decades, and at this age, few people had ever put forward an opinion that was to the point."

When Gu Qingxuan said this, Lin Qiantan breathed a sigh of relief.

She originally wanted to get close to Gu Ping, and she also deliberately pointed out the tone of criticism. I am afraid that Gu Ping will think that the younger juniors are arrogant and make nonsense.

She left a message saying that Gu Ping's pen always had a bad habit of using more pen force when he walked to the pen.

Zhang Yan naturally wanted to ask the person's name.

Lin Qiantan did not leave her name.

Her eyelashes flashed slightly, and she was a little embarrassed to admit that the person was herself, only to hear Gu Qingxuan say again: "Grandfather is also looking for this person."

Lin Qiantan deliberately did this to arouse Gu Ping's interest. She intends to do an errand in the court...... I am more interested in trying to see if Gu Ping accepts female disciples.

Although the female officials of the dynasty were just idle. But at least it's an opportunity to prove yourself.

However, it is a pity that if a woman in a family wants to enter the court as a female official, she needs the consent of her father, husband and even son in the family.

Lin Qiantan originally thought that the Lin family would not help her, so she could only wait until she married Chu Jiang, and Chu Jiang signed and agreed.

As a result, on such a matter, he encountered Chu Jiang's opposition.

The Chu family is big, and Lin Qiantan also knows that Jiang Ningniang usually manages these and those alone, and Chu Yan is looking forward to having a grandson, Chu Jiang hopes that she will stay at home as much as possible, which is also human nature.

However, Lin Qiantan does not intend to give up.

"Your Majesty will choose to go to Caichen Palace, which is also the suggestion of the Zuo Xiang." For some insiders, Gu Qingxuan is very clear.

Others don't know what, Chen Jingrou is the minister who hates playing with power the most.

As soon as Gu Qingxuan's words fell, she lashed out: "The Yin clan's wolf ambition has now extended its black hand into the army." Chen Jingrou devoted herself to joining the army, but she had no chance, and she also mentioned to Lin Qiantan that she wanted to go to the army dressed as a man.

Lin Qiantan thought of the exposure of her identity in her previous life, and couldn't help but persuade her: "The army is a place for men." Although you have the confidence not to be exposed, you are not easy to be confused about the identity paperwork alone. ”

The average soldier is fine. For a person like Chen Jingrou who has the ability and ambition to be a general, when he is promoted, he needs to check his household registration.

Chen Jingrou in her previous life will be discovered, but she will be defeated in the household registration.

Speaking of the Yin clan reaching out to the army, Lin Qiantan also knew about it.

Emperor Tianlong proposed the intention of having two expeditions to the Rong Kingdom, but most of the ministers of the court and China opposed it, but Yin Ren was his staunch supporter. Chen Jingrou couldn't join the army herself, so she could only get by inquiring about the movements in the army from time to time.

Yin Ren is undoubtedly a traitor, the government and the opposition say bad things about him, and he is attacked by others in public affairs and private morality, but he is not wronged.

Downstairs, a car engraved with the Yin Clan's badge happened to drive past, and no one noticed.

For Lin Qiantan, yin tenacity is an enemy with insults, but it is also a teacher who teaches skills, Lin Qiantan has to say that the other party has at least taught her one thing, that is, who said that women are inferior to men.

By the side of Yin Ren, Yin Ren will assign some practical affairs to the women who are reserved around him to do.

These people are of different ages, the oldest is even thirty or forty years old, but they are all his assistants.

Downstairs, Yin's carriage drove far away, and inside the car, Yin Ren sat there, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lin Qiantan is a tough semi-formal schoolgirl.

The way Yin tenacity taught her skills made Lin Qiantan unforgettable for the rest of her life, and she still feels humiliated when she thinks about it.

A pair of calligraphy, an article, a book, a volume of calligraphy and painting, but if she fails to complete the homework assigned by Yin Tenacity, she will have to suffer from his special habits at night.

The good hand in Gu Qingxuan's mouth that was praised by Gu Ping was what Lin Qiantan, who couldn't read big characters, forced herself to practice until she was satisfied with her tenacity. Yin Ren also bluntly praised her, she is talented, but she was delayed by Yin Wei.

This person, called Lin Qiantan, has gritted his teeth so far. But she also has to admit that she is indeed grateful to him, and it is he who told her to know a truth - what men can do, women can do well, and even do better in many things.

Emperor Tianlong's birthday banquet, all over the world will come to congratulate, some remote and barbaric languages are difficult to translate, Lin Qiantan knows, like this kind of translation of the national letter, Yin Ren will always be handed over to the women in the house to do. Women are always more gifted than men in learning languages.

However, it is a pity that Lin Qiantan did not learn some raw overseas language back then, otherwise she would have been able to understand the pamphlets in the box left by Chu Ling.

*

In the carriage, Yin Ren just opened his eyes and looked at his son who was sitting next to him. Yin Huai's face was full of weakness, and he didn't dare to look up at his father.

Lin Bixiang's matter is full of wind and rain in the city, and it is very lively, and it is impossible not to know about it. What Yin Huai was really surprised about was that Yin Ren actually knew that the child in Lin Bixiang's belly was his.

Yin Huai thought that he had done this unknowingly, and every time he went to Lin's house, he wore the clothes of a small maid as much as possible. Yin Ren will actually know......

Yin Huai still felt strange, even if Yin Ren knew, how could he suddenly care about these little things. Others don't know, he still doesn't know, his father is cold-hearted, and his six relatives don't recognize him, so there is no so-called family affection in his eyes. will give birth to their three brothers and sisters, or on a whim.

So how could he suddenly care about that niece?

Yin Ren naturally didn't care about Lin Bixiang suddenly, but because this matter was Lin Qiantan's handiwork, he just paid more attention to it.

Yin Ren smiled, Yin Wei complained in front of her that Lin Qiantan was not once or twice, and her original intention was to use his hand to clean up Lin Qiantan. He sent someone to pay attention to it privately, and found that Lin Qiantan's maids went to the pharmacy outside the house to get medicine twice in three days, and those medicines were all things for the fetus.

Shun Teng touched the melon and looked at it, and the yin tenacity naturally knew who Lin Qiantan was used for.

Naturally, Yin Huai also surfaced.

Lin Bixiang's pregnancy, he already knew about it, but he didn't break it.

This little girl played too much this time, Lin Bixiang had an accident, although the unlucky one was only the Dongshan Hou Mansion, the Yin family was also affected by some things, Yin Ren didn't care but didn't explain, Yin Huai thought that Yin Ren was concerned for such reasons, but ......

Not really.

Yin tenacity is just that Lin Bixiang is not unlucky enough, and he wants to step on it again.

That niece, he doesn't like it, and it just so happens that the little girl doesn't like it either, he can do a favor.

"Tomorrow you will go and recognize the child who fell from your cousin's belly."

Yin Huai subconsciously said: "Father, everyone outside has said that I am not the only cousin involved with her, maybe this child is not necessarily mine."

Yin Ren then cast a glance.

Yin Huai didn't dare to deny it anymore, so he had to bite the bullet and ask: "What does the father mean is to ask his son to marry her?"

Yin Ren laughed: "When did I say that I told you to marry her?"

The story that Lin Bixiang and a few cousins had to tell had naturally been circulating in the market for a long time, and Yin Huai knew that it should be a rumor, but he still felt very unhappy. It's no wonder that he is reluctant to admit the child in Lin Bixiang's belly.

Listen to what my father meant...... It's just that the yin locust is wilted, and I can't help but shudder a little.

Yin Ren said a few more words about Emperor Tianlong's birthday banquet and changed the topic, and after speaking, he closed his mouth and stopped talking. When Yin Huai saw her close her eyes, she didn't say anything.

Yin Ren was wondering, did she hear Lin Qiantan's voice when she came over just now......

*

On the other side, Lin Qiantan had just come out of the teahouse with a few friends and was about to go back.

But it was a very coincidental encounter that Wang Yuanzhao was walking briskly on horseback with a team of people dressed in soldier clothes. Wang Yuanzhao seemed to have something in his hands, and he didn't see Lin Qiantan. Lin Qiantan also glanced at him in a hurry, so naturally she wouldn't call him out.

He walked away after a short time, and Lin Qiantan was a little flustered. The look on Wang Yuanzhao's face was too serious, and Lin Qiantan was a little unaccustomed.

Wang Yuanzhao, who appeared in front of Lin Qiantan that night, was still hippie and smiling, as if the person Lin Qiantan saw during the day was not Wang Yuanzhao.

Or, that person is Wang Yuanzhao, and the one who is squatting on the tree with bright eyes in front of her is Wang Ergou......

Lin Qiantan did not mention that he met him during the day, and Wang Yuanzhao also did not mention what he did with people during the day.

There was a slight light rain in the sky, which hit Wang Yuanzhao's body, making his hair a little damp. Although the spring began to get warmer, it was not good to get his head wet for too long, so Lin Qiantan urged him to go back.

Wang Yuanzhao joked and said, "Don't you invite me to come in and sit down?" The belly of the two...... It's all a little full.

Lin Qiantan happily let go of the position by the window, her eyebrows moved slightly, and she looked like "if you have the guts, just come in", Wang Yuanzhao scratched his ears and cheeks and lowered his head with a shy face, and said, "Forget it, I'd better go."

The more she got along with Wang Yuanzhao, the more Lin Qiantan found that this person looked quite bold, but in fact, he was very cowardly in many places.

After he finished speaking, he walked out, and the Dongshan Marquis Mansion became more and more familiar to him like his own own. Lin Qiantan sat down with a smile, and was about to sit and read a book for a while, when she suddenly paused.

Thinking about the appearance of Wang Yuanzhao she saw during the day, Lin Qiantan was stunned for a moment. Wang Yuanzhao, who had a somewhat fierce and fierce face, was unfamiliar to her.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, every time she sees this person, she basically gets along with the two of them alone, at most she is with her own person like Jinhe, Lin Qiantan doesn't seem to have seen Wang Yuanzhao with others.

Could it be that the person I saw during the day was what he really was?

Wang Yuanzhao went out from Lin Qiantan and stepped on the light rain to go to the Yanguo Mansion. He went back late, and met Wang Yuanxuan on the way into the house.

His hair was wet and he didn't know where he had gone, but he had some fragrance on him. He doesn't apply grease and powder, and when he smells it, the aroma is not his own.

Wang Yuanxuan's eyes flashed slightly.

Wang Yuanzhao ignored him and went inside, while Wang Yuanxuan turned his head to his mother.

Wang Yuanzhao also returned to the house, only to find that there was a fragrance on his body. That was the scent of smoke that Lin Qiantan was wearing on this day. He and Lin Qiantan went out of the house as usual that night. Maybe this fragrance was brought by Wang Yuanzhao when Lin Qiantan almost slipped and fell off the wall.

hesitated and hesitated: "Forget it, let's wash it." Wang Yuanzhao took off the clothes that were mixed with the smell of his sweat and the smell of incense, and threw it away. And he uncovered it.

*

Wang Yuanzhao is embarrassed in the Wang family after all, except for Wang Shanya, probably only the fourth lady of the Wang family, Wang Tingyu, is friendly to him, and the others simply don't treat him as a family member.

What's more important is that many people in the Wang family believe that Wang Yuanzhao robbed Wang Yuanxuan of the family affairs that should have belonged to Wang Yuanxuan.

With Wang Shanya actively running, the Wei family can be regarded as a positive response, Wei Jiayin, a girl carefully raised by the Wei family, can be regarded as belonging to Wang Yuanzhao.

The two families are low-key, and the people outside don't know, and the elders on both sides are hot, but the men and women who are engaged are not happy.

Lin Qiantan still felt that she hadn't seen Wei Jiayin for a while, but she didn't know that she had really made progress in mentioning her relationship with the Wang family before.

Lin Qiantan heard Wei Jiayin say that he and Wang Yuanzhao had exchanged tokens with their parents, and she couldn't tell how she felt.

Wei Jiayin didn't look down on Wang Yuanzhao and thought that he couldn't match him. Others don't know, but Wang Shanya candidly told Wang Yuanzhao of the Wei family about his previous experience of fishing in a small fishing village.

"It's not that I really look down on those working people at the bottom, but that the husband and wife have different values, how to live together in the future!"

Lin Qiantan herself couldn't understand what kind of mentality she had, so she didn't say anything good to Wang Yuanzhao at all.

Wei Jiayin vented her emotions and went back angrily, Lin Qiantan could understand her. Wei Jiayin mentioned to herself the fantasy of her husband.

She likes to be polite, gentle and polite, maybe for Wei Jiayin, even if she puts aside some of her opinions, Wang Yuanzhao is just a "martial artist", probably Wei Jiayin hasn't had much contact with real people, so he hates the other party first.

Wei Jiayin is not bad in nature, but it is inevitable that she will have the temper of the eldest lady who is from a family with her nostrils facing the sky.

However, out of some unspeakable thoughts of herself, Lin Qiantan did not explain to Wei Jiayin that Wang Yuanzhao was not rumored by the outside world, and he did not understand the text.
