Mama Gou thought that she had heard some valuable news, and stayed here with Yin Wei for a while, and then went to Yinping Pavilion absentmindedly.

Lin Qiantan listened to her, which coincided with the conjecture in her heart.

She felt weird, she slapped Yin Wei in the face, and Yin Wei had no reason not only not to care, but to greet her with a smile every time.

What Mama Gou said is very credible.

Lin Qiantan opened the makeup box under Mama Gou's expectant gaze, took out a bracelet from it, and put it on Mama Gou's hand. The bracelet is genuine, with some weight.

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and he will give a sweet date with a slap, not to mention that Mama Gou's face was smashed by her before, and it was not easy to get a little sweetness, so she must be extra cherished.

Mama Gou walked to a place where there was no one, and only then did she dare to take it out carefully and check what Lin Qiantan gave her. It doesn't matter if you don't watch it, I'm shocked when I see it.

This one alone is worth the ten pieces I got from Yin Wei in the past. Looking at the materials and craftsmanship of the bracelet, they are not ordinary.

On the other side, Jinhe and Lin Qiantan were also talking: "Why did the master give her that thing?"

That chain still has some value.

Lin Qiantan said: "It's not too good, anyway, I don't need it myself, it's better to give it out."

Mama Gou has collected the money, and she will definitely think of taking advantage of both ends, so that she can take advantage of it. Give something too bad, Mama Gou won't be tempted. If you give it too well, it's easy to be greedy.

Lin Qiantan was reasonable, and Jinhe stopped talking.

Let's not talk about the bracelet first, but what Mama Gou said made Lin Qiantan care more.

Yin tenacity to remove the heart of the Chu family, in fact, it is still relatively obvious. Lin Qiantan was also thinking about whether Yin Wei was really stupid or fake, why did she change her mind, and she thought of going against her brother and asking her daughter to go to Chu's house?

But if you think about it, you can understand that the voice that Yin Huai went out to roar a while ago was most likely instructed by Yin tenacity.

But I have to say that in two lifetimes, the mother and daughter still do the same thing. Her Lin Qiantan's things, the mother and daughter just like to grab it.

But the door of the Chu family is not so easy to enter.

Lin Bixiang made jokes again, at least for a short time, she didn't dare to go out.

Lin Qiantan didn't mention these things to Chu Jiang.

*

In April, the weather is at its hottest of the year.

It was also the day when Lin Qiantan "came back" for about a year.

From the border to the north, the news of Princess Jinhua being found came again.

Princess Jinhua heard that she had been hiding in the house of a Yin family branch in a small border town, hiding as "Miss Table". It turned out to be discovered.

Emperor Tianlong gave an order, and she was tied up and sent on the journey to Rongguo. As for the unlucky side branch of the Yin family, he lost his life instead of flattering.

Lin Qiantan didn't know how the once favored princess felt, but she knew that Emperor Tianlong had clearly moved his mind to attack Rong Guo again.

Emperor Tianlong was so happy that the courtiers had long been dissatisfied. While most people are opposed, it is not surprising to see that Yin Tenacy will stand up in support.

This is how the foundation of the dynasty and the prestige of the emperor are worn away little by little.

The emperor and the ministers in the court were grinding their tongues, and under the court, the scholars in the teahouse and tavern were also talking about this.

These scholars didn't realize that the shopkeeper next to them was writing something behind the desk, and these messages would be sorted out in one place and collected into Lin Qiantan's hands in the end.

*

What Wang Yuanzhao has been doing recently, Lin Qiantan is clear. Yan Shao's death did not make the force behind him disappear, but was gradually grasped by Wang Yuanzhao's fisherman.

Wang Yuanzhao has surprised Lin Qiantan enough, and Lin Qiantan really doesn't feel strange that he can bring out some new things from time to time.

Originally, Lin Qiantan didn't pay too much attention to Wang Yuanzhao's recent actions. The two are also friends, if he has any thoughts about this world, she can help.

But when Lin Qiantan heard that he had some dealings with Gu Ping, she couldn't laugh a little.

What Gu Ping did in his last life, Lin Qiantan is clear.

Gu Ping's later assistants took the soldiers and horses to the capital. And right now, Wang Yuanzhao also happened to get the talisman from Yan Shao......

Connecting the two, Lin Qiantan couldn't help but be a little shocked.

The often confused parts of her mind made her foggy, and the mysterious general she had been looking for before was actually a bastard boy next to her, and she couldn't think it was a little ridiculous.

When Wang Yuanzhao saw Lin Qiantan again, he felt that Lin Qiantan's eyes looked at him as if there was a little more scrutiny and exploration.

Things that I hadn't thought about much before, but now they were also taken out by Lin Qiantan to think, like why Wang Yuanzhao had some skills that ordinary fishermen didn't have.

Lin Qiantan originally thought that this person's martial arts skills were powerful, perhaps because he had often fought with people in the village since he was a child.

Even the fact that he could write was subconsciously ignored by Lin Qiantan in the past, but looking at it now, this person has clearly received an extraordinary education. According to what Wang Yuanzhao mentioned before, Lin Qiantan originally only thought that Xia Sanniang was unwilling to forget her roots, so even if she was poor, she picked up the family rules for educating her children and did not leave them behind......

Lin Qiantan then asked him.

Wang Yuanzhao smiled: "You don't plan to ask."

Wang Yuanzhao had only said it briefly before, but at this point, he would be more careful. Lin Qiantan knew that Xia Sanniang was not only just raising her son ordinarily, both civil and military was just basic, and she also had to know some aspects of astronomy and geography.

Lin Qiantan's somewhat teasing gaze made Wang Yuanzhao a little depressed, and that gaze seemed to say: He is bragging!

He really understands something, and he really doesn't know how to learn it. In the past, she didn't ask, so he didn't say.

The Wang family of the Yan Guogong Mansion was able to accept him back, to a large extent, because although he was "raised outside", his basic homework never fell behind.

Wang Yuanzhao came over this day, but he had something to do.

After finishing the joke, he casually threw a small box to Lin Qiantan, Lin Qiantan frowned, and heard him say, "Open it and take a look."

Lin Qiantan did as he said, gently broke open the box, and saw a piece of broken sheepskin lying inside.

Wang Yuanzhao said: "What you want." said and smiled, looking at Lin Qiantan.

Lin Qiantan also mentioned it, this person really went to find it, Lin Qiantan's heart moved slightly, on the surface, of course he had to ask, where did he get it.

Wang Yuanzhao laughed: "Didn't the son of the Qi family mention it?"

In the early years, when the Qi family was poor, they would rather sell their daughters than sheepskins.

But later, this sheepskin became a useless thing in the eyes of the unwitting descendants of the Qi family, but the Qi family was even more pitiful than the Chu family, and this thing was thrown away casually and sold to an antique dealer.

Wang Yuanzhao also touched it along the vine and found it.

He used this thing to make a beauty smile, even if it was more dangerous and tiring, it was worth it.

They will know that it is not surprising that they are looking for such a thing, and that others are also looking for it.

The Qi family's broken sheepskin has been sold for several years, and there has been no movement, and Wang Yuanzhao still wonders how there is news at the juncture he is looking for.

So he visited the antique dealer's mansion at night and was ambushed by a hundred people, but fortunately he followed him behind his ass and pulled him, otherwise he wouldn't have to come back alive.

The few people in the village who had played well with him since he was a child were also encouraged by him to come to the capital to "do big things". Wang Yuanzhao also took the few who were small and sent them to the army.

Lin Qiantan glanced at the sheepskin, and refused to take Wang Yuanzhao's benefits in vain.

So he asked Wang Yuanzhao if he wanted anything she gave him back.

Wang Yuanzhao said jokingly: "Didn't you embroider that sachet for Chu Dalang?" Why don't you embroider one for me too? ”

Lin Qiantan refused without thinking about it: "This one doesn't work, change another."

Wang Yuanzhao mentioned this for the second time.

He was joking, so he didn't think anything about Lin Qiantan's rejection of him, but Lin Qiantan felt a little embarrassed after rejecting him.

The treasure of the Xia Kingdom, the wealth represented behind it, is immeasurable. Wang Yuanzhao knew this, and he spent a lot of time looking for it, and he didn't frown, so he gave it to her.

Wang Yuanzhao finished joking, turned around and left, Lin Qiantan thought about it, something too intimate like a sachet can't be embroidered, embroidered a pair of shoes or something, it's always okay. She used to make these things, too, and sold them for silver.

Wang Yuanzhao had an unexpected joy, and after thinking about it, he deservedly accepted it, anyway, it was just a pair of shoes, and it was nothing to accept. It was as if he had exchanged it for shredded sheepskin.

After Wang Yuanzhao left, Lin Qiantan remembered it, was busy going back and forth, and forgot the sachet made for Chu Jiang.

In two days, as her dowry was shipped to the Chu family, the marriage process of the two went further. The Chu family and the Lin family had a discord in their early years because of Chu Ling's affairs. As the next generation began to talk about family affairs again, there were some signs of easing between the two families.

And this is probably one of the reasons why Yin Wei will go to fight the Chu family's idea.

Yin Wei's idea is not outrageous. My sister is a wife, and my sister is a concubine, and there are many such marriages. Lin Bixiang's reputation is bad again, and she is a sister...... It's also very reasonable.

Yin Wei endured her dissatisfaction with the Shen family and told the Shen family about it, just because she didn't know what Shen had planned in private. Shen thought about it, and this seemed to be very feasible.

Of course, Shen Ning's side really worked non-stop for Lin Bixiang.

However, Shen did seriously consider Yin Wei's proposal.

Lin Qiantan has a generous temperament, although it has changed a lot since she went to Beijing, but a person's character and temperament will not change greatly. With her, she won't treat her sister harshly.

If it can be facilitated, it would be good.

Shen is like this, she has a good mind and can be regarded as a good person, but she is unconditionally good to everyone, and even more ...... Unconditional obedience to all the rules of this world. She doesn't think there's anything wrong with sisters serving a husband.

Can Lin Qiantan agree to this?

Of course not.

Yin Wei can't insert needles there, water can't splash in, but Shen has a lot of loopholes here. It is not impossible to inquire about some news.

The girls around Lin Qiantan were in a hurry, but Lin Qiantan herself was not in a hurry.

Wait Mei said: "If the old lady also speaks, there will be trouble in this matter."

Lin Qiantan smiled: "What if even if my grandmother speaks, whether to take a concubine or not, it's not the Lin family who has the final say."

That being said.

Lin Qiantan said: "Okay, instead of putting your mind there, why don't you come and show me, and go to the palace tomorrow to see which clothes the concubine is wearing!"

*

Recently, she has been in the palace more often, and Lin Qiantan has gradually become a little familiar with the palace.

Concubine Xiao is the concubine of the first emperor, but she is first and foremost a princess of the Xia Dynasty, Lin Qiantan is close to her, and she also has the meaning of inquiring about the dream picture of Jinghua from her mouth.

However, entering the palace often will also bring her another result.

It was not the first time that Lin Qiantan had met several princes in the palace, usually just saluted and passed, but this time when she went in and met the four princes, there were some differences.

Among the relatively large sons of Emperor Tianlong, except for the third prince, who is relatively uninterested in politics, the others have their own expectations for that position.

The Four Princes are no exception.

It's just that the fourth prince has a relatively humble background and is not as good as the other brothers. So he is also the one with the most wives and concubines among several princes.

This is indeed a shortcut to improve your strength quickly, yes.

This person's mind is cleaner than Yin Huai, but in his eyes, women are a tool to increase his bargaining chips. is like Yin Huai, it's just fifty steps and a hundred steps.

In his previous life, Lin Qiantan felt that there was something wrong with his eyes looking at himself, and even at Lin Bixiang. Now, it seems, that wasn't a delusion.

When Lin Qiantan came out of Concubine Xiao, he met him halfway, as if he had made up his mind, he greeted Lin Qiantan, his eyes flashed with a look of calculation, as if he was weighing something repeatedly.

At this time in her previous life, Lin Qiantan married Dong Yong, and the four princes had no scruples. This time, the fourth prince wanted to win over the Chu family, and he would not fight Lin Qiantan's idea, but he was eyeing Lin Bixiang.

He asked Lin Qian Tan and Lin Bixiang how she was doing in a way that he thought was a vague question.

Lin Qiantan was a little playful.

How could she have forgotten about this one?

If you don't want Lin Bixiang to follow her to the Chu family like a fart, you can lead this one over to Yin Wei to be the son-in-law of Chenglong.

The fourth prince is noble and noble, and his identity is not bad, so if he thinks about it, Yin Wei will not be too dissatisfied.

On the palace road, the palace maids and eunuchs came and went, and in the distance, Chu Jiang happened to come out with his colleagues, and saw Lin Qiantan and the four princes talking......

Lin Qiantan said: "...... My sister was maliciously targeted, and a good girl had to be slandered and broken, so how would she live the rest of her life? ”

The eyes of the four princes shone slightly.

Lin Qiantan said again: "...... A few days ago, it was even more hateful. My sister was obviously just unwell, and she went home early, and she didn't know who was talking nonsense, saying that she was splashed with feces! ”

The fourth prince smiled: "The heart of the world is sinister, and Miss Seven is a good sister with a kind heart."

Lin Qiantan saw Chu Jiang coming, and accepted it when she saw it. The fourth prince naturally saw Chu Jiang as well......

*

Chu Jiang walked over, greeted each other, and the four princes went to the side.

Chu Jiang didn't like the frivolity of the four princes, so he stared at the back of the four princes more.

Lin Qiantan asked him about something else: "What did Your Majesty say?"

Emperor Tianlong insisted on conquering the Rong Kingdom again in less than a year, and most of the ministers were quite complaining.

Especially when Princess Jinhua was twisted back to Rongguo, some ministers directly pointed out that it would damage the reputation of Emperor Tianlong.

The common people don't understand those state affairs and power techniques, but they all see that Emperor Tianlong has no parental kindness to his daughter, coupled with the manipulation and manipulation of people with intentions, Emperor Tianlong is like a vicious monarch who acts perversely.

He had to go, and the ministers couldn't stop him, and the monarchs and ministers each took a step back, and the ministers agreed to the emperor's personal expedition, but asked the emperor not to go to the front in person......

Lin Qiantan was not surprised, and said in her heart that Emperor Tianlong personally conquered not only twice, but also the third time.

The two met by chance, and Chu Jiang sent Lin Qiantan back after his words. Chu Jiang asked what she and the four princes had said, but Lin Qiantan didn't answer......

The cousin has something to hide from herself, and Chu Jiang is clear. Whenever asked, Lin Qiantan always didn't tell him, Chu Jiang minded.

Chu Jiang cared in his heart, but he didn't leak too many signs on his face.

"What has my cousin been doing lately?" Lin Qiantan got into the carriage, and Chu Jiang supported her.

Lin Qiantan turned her head, looked at the gentle young man, and said a few names casually.

Chu Jiang nodded, Lin Qiantan often came and went to several young ladies, he also heard about it. Although he didn't agree with the people Lin Qiantan interacted with in his heart, with his character, he wouldn't say it, which made Lin Qiantan unhappy.

No one is perfect, and Lin Qiantan has always known that her cousin, who seems to be perfect in front of others, also has shortcomings.

When he hadn't booked the title of fiancé, Chu Jiang was humble and considerate. But since the order, Lin Qiantan has felt from Chu Jiang several times that it seems to be some slightly uncomfortable possessiveness. Let's just say that she was talking to the fourth prince just now, and Chu Jiang would come over, it should be out of the same mind.

When people get along with others, they always need to run in with each other, and Lin Qiantan knows this truth.

Chu Jiang's shortcomings that could not be seen clearly at a certain distance in the relationship between the two will also be seen clearly as the relationship becomes closer.

Chu Jiang has shortcomings, and she also has them, so she won't ask Chu Jiang to do anything. But...... She also hoped that Chu Jiang wouldn't interfere too much with her.

Chu Jiang sent Lin Qiantan back to the Lin family, Lin Qiantan sighed slightly, maybe there will be a conflict between the two, and the person who changed was not Chu Jiang, but her.

What kind of character Chu Jiang is, Lin Qiantan may have thought of it a long time ago, but in her previous life, she had no opinions, so naturally she wouldn't feel anything.

Now she has some things she wants to do, and these happen to be things that Chu Jiang doesn't want to see, so there is a conflict.

On the way home, Lin Qiantan and Chu Jiang mentioned again that she wanted to enter the palace as a female official after marriage.

Chu Jiang did not compromise easily on such a matter: "There are many affairs at home, and your aunt is too busy."

Chu Jiang's attitude couldn't be more obvious, Lin Qiantan had no choice but to put the topic aside and didn't say anything more.

Even if Emperor Tianlong has a thousand bad things, at least one thing is good in Lin Qiantan's opinion, Emperor Tianlong is the same as Yin tenacity, there is not much restriction on women, and there are a large number of women in the palace as female officials, which is also an important achievement of his.

Women's talents are no worse than men's, which has been confirmed by Chu Pei and others, and Emperor Tianlong has opened up some opportunities for women while promoting the imperial examination in a big way.

Although it is still only a place to circle and put female officials under the constraints of male power, it is not called turning over the big waves, but compared to his imperial predecessors, Emperor Tianlong has already made too much progress.

However, after a period of female officer selection, Lin Qiantan expected that she would not be able to catch up.

*

About two days later, Lin Qiantan received a message that there was another dispute on the northern border.

The reason is only because Princess Jinhua escaped, although she hid for a long time, intending to find an opportunity to return to the capital of Dashang, but was found by her own biological father and sent back.

It was this incident that caused some fisting clashes along the border.

King Rong was inspired, and the people of Rong refused to allow a queen who had humiliated them to enter the country. Before Jinhua crossed the border, he was stopped by the people of Rongguo who were instigated and forced to retreat on the spot.

And the mother country behind her is not willing to accept her.

Lin Qiantan thought of this princess who was still embarrassed and sad about her, and felt sympathy.

What's even more chilling is that the rhetoric in the big business market is all condemning this princess's wanton behavior, so that those who harm them as people also lose face.

In the remarks, another argument faintly emerged. At this time, some people were privately saying, look at how the third princess of the Xia Dynasty died without hesitation.

is also a princess, the one who can be buried with the country, but this one is selfish.

It can be seen that Dashang is not as good as Daxia and is unorthodox.

This is true of the people, not to mention some of the ministers in the court.

Those who will be tolerant of Jinhua are probably only women.

In many people's families, women are raised, mostly in exchange for family benefits through marriage, and everyone understands the feeling of being involuntarily, but they are willing to forgive.

What's more, Jinhua himself has something to say.

Merchants from the south to the north passed back Jinhua's original words.

"This palace is just to pursue the love of the heart, what's wrong?"

In the same sentence, men's interpretation is completely different from women's interpretation.

Lin Qiantan had a good heart and wanted to say that she would help a group of Jinhua, at least not let her be abused for nothing.

As for the words of "love in my heart" mentioned in her mouth, Lin Qiantan chose to ignore them.

Besides, Lin Qiantan did this for Chu Jiang.

Jin Hua probably didn't think about it himself, and he casually said an angry word, asking the people in Beijing to aim the pressure on Chu Jiang. Lin Qiantan helped Jinhua is to help Chu Jiang.

So two days later, on the tenth day of the fourth month, the wind direction in Beijing immediately turned again, and no one was talking about Jinhua, but they all reprimanded the people of Rongguo.

It is a fact that King Rong treats Jinhua coldly, and it is also a fact that the people of Rong don't like Jinhua in the first place, Lin Qiantan just chose a suitable time to properly embellish this matter and spread it out.

Lin Qiantan has another purpose for doing this-

Didn't Emperor Tianlong want to conquer in person? Now she is helping him to build up public opinion.
