After Lin Qiantan's birthday, there were several days of heavy rain in the area around the capital, and the river water rose, almost pressing down to the water level of the embankment along the coast.

Emperor Tianlong sat in the court and personally deployed, but the annual flood season is always a headache.

The water network of Shenzhou is complex, especially in the Jinghua area of the Central Plains, where rivers are intertwined and dense. At the beginning of Emperor Tianlong's succession, he had already built the Tianlong Grand Canal, which runs through the east and west capitals, in response to this problem that has been continued from several generations of previous dynasties.

The construction of a huge water conservancy project that has never been seen in ancient times will naturally cost the people and money. However, although the people complained, they could barely swallow the dissatisfaction in their stomachs when they saw the merchants who traveled easily from the day the canal was built and the commerce that developed with it.

In the past two years, there has been a lot of rain, and when summer comes, officials along the river network always have to be cautious and cautious.

The gifts that Chu Qiao sent from Luoyang, the eastern capital, were rushed to the capital before the water was too strong.

Chu Qiao was the eldest lady of the Chu family and Lin Qiantan's aunt, in Lin Qiantan's memory, she would send some local products from Luoyang to the capital or Yunzhou to her relatives from time to time every year.

Things are not worth much - Chu Qiao was also married low, and even lived a little depressed, and what he gave was just some food that could be bought with money, but it was better than his heart. It's just that Lin Qiantan has never cherished this heart.

Lin Qiantan has heard people say since she was a child that her parents eventually broke up, and Chu Qiao contributed a lot. Originally, Lin Quan had the opportunity to sit in the position of the sixth servant in one fell swoop, but it was because of Yin Wei's file that there was something out of that stall, Chu Qiao not only instigated his sister to reconcile with Lin Quan, but also personally used his former connections to stir up Lin Quan's dream of being a waiter, so that Lin Quan is still making a small master book under the household department.

The Song family also knew that Lin Qiantan had not liked Chu Qiao since she was a child, and she didn't dare to praise the beautiful phoenix hairpin sent by Chu Qiao this year, but Lin Qiantan unexpectedly instructed her to put away the hairpin carefully and take it out and wear it when the time is right.

Lin Qiantan is still obsessed with Chu Qiao, just living again, every relative is very important to her, but this basically does not include the Lin family.

The hairpin was accepted and placed together with a very shabby magnolia hairpin sent by someone on the day of her birthday - Lin Qiantan seemed to know who gave it, but refused to tell anyone. Under the eaves of the corridor, water droplets are still hanging like curtains dripping from time to time, Bi Shu is leading the little girl to take a bamboo tube to catch water under the corridor, ready to drain it and take it to make tea in the next year, Lin Qiantan continues to read her strange books.

As soon as the rain stopped, Lin Qiantan just wanted to put on the clogs and go out, but the little girl outside stepped on her wet trouser legs and ran in to say that Yan Guogong and his wife were here and were sitting in the hall. It was also said that the old lady called someone to invite her, and asked several young ladies to go out to meet the elders.

Wang Shanya came unfortunately, Lin Qiantan put on shoes on her hands for a moment, and then continued to put clogs on herself, stepping on the shoes of "Gada Gada" when she walked, so naturally she did not go out, but went to the main courtyard.

The Wang family and the Lin family used to be relatively consistent in political leanings, and on the surface they were both loyal emperors. Wang Qun, the old lady of the Wang family, and Lin Yangde met when they were young, and Wang Shanya was considered a junior in front of Lin Yangde.

However, many years have passed, and the friendship between the two families has long since faded with the passage of time. When the Lin family returned to Beijing, the Wang family never came except for a housewarming banquet. Wang Shanya came today for the marriage of her nephew and the daughter of the Lin family.

Lin Shumei, the sixth lady of the second room of the Lin family, set up a marriage with Wang Yuanming, the third son of the second room of the Wang family, and Wang Shanya and his wife went specially for their younger brother.

Two generally dressed men in fancy clothes stood behind Wang Shanya, Lin Qiantan glanced at it when she passed, one of them knew, and the other didn't.

The one I know is called Wang Yuanxuan, the second son of the Wang family's two big rows, and the other one is much more shrunken than him, and occasionally peeks at Lin Shumei, who can't hide behind the curtain over there and has a blushing face, Lin Qiantan is estimated to be Wang Yuanming, the actor of today's blind date.

The marriage between the two families has been said for a long time, and there are not many objections to each other, and meeting is actually a formality - the door is right, the concubine is matched with the concubine, and the age is also the same, how can anyone question and disagree.

The elders of the two families greeted each other politely, said some polite words about business, and after talking about marriage-related matters, they mentioned other trivial matters. The juniors were naturally bored and stood aside, and only when the elders remembered and called out did they come out to respond.

Lin Qiantan thought that she wouldn't be able to leave for a while anyway - maybe she would have to accompany the guests to dinner later, so she simply got up in a daze, thinking about the business she had just started.

Only when she said something interesting over there would she subconsciously glance over and ignore Lin Bixiang's eyes glaring at her as if she were about to eat people.

Lin Qiantan came home from the Chu family to celebrate her birthday that day, and naturally did not forget to give her good sister a gift in return, while the family sat down for dinner, Lin Qiantan put an identical small paste on Lin Bixiang's chair face up, and pointed it directly at Lin Bixiang's tiger's eye. The formula of the plaster was carefully changed by Lin Qiantan, and Lin Bixiang squatted in the thatched house for half a night that night, and her legs were soft into mud, and she collapsed and lay on the bed for two whole days.

It's just that Lin Bixiang lost a lot of people, and she can't come up with evidence to prove that it was Lin Qiantan's hand.

Lin Qiantan was actually just painting a gourd according to the scoop, and after calculating it, she probably asked Lin Bixiang to go back to the room to take a bath before she had a seizure, as for the plaster that melted when it met the water, it had already been taken down by the diligent mother-in-law and washed to the point where she didn't know where.

was in a daze, and suddenly heard an elegant and magnetic gentle voice sound, which made his ears feel like a spring breeze. Lin Qiantan subconsciously cast her gaze over and looked at Wang Shanya again, only to see the middle-aged man in front of her, like a green osmanthus that had completely faded, fragrant.

In contrast, his son Wang Yuanxuan was inevitably set off by his father to draw a tiger and not an anti-dog.

The dark and bright eyes, the gentle and gentle smile when looking at people, but the masculinity that has not been affected by this at all, in a word, this is a high-quality man who is very attractive to women.

However, on the side of this high-quality middle-aged man's cheeks, there was an extra flaw at this time.

Lin Yangde naturally cared about the place on Wang Shanya's face and asked where the wound came from.

Wang Shanya replied to him: "I went to Pingyuan City a few days ago, and I accidentally had some friction with people, and this injury was unintentional at that time."
