Chapter 26: Bad News Arrives

Xiao Muning stood aside with his arms crossed and did not say anything.

Lin Qingwan's words, compared with what he told him before, are simple and easy to understand, he is very curious, why does Lin Qingwan have such avant-garde thoughts?

Its practicality does not use these people, it is irrelevant to Lin Qingwan. Xiao Muning opened her mouth, she naturally wanted to give some face, which was also a convenient thing for her, it was better than posting notices in the city to recruit workers, which would save her a lot of trouble.

Lin Qingwan put down the teacup, "The prince's move is also well-intentioned, and I am worried about everyone's livelihood in the future." You have been born and died with the prince for many years, and he naturally knows his character, which is also a convenience for me. If you don't want to be here, I can't force it, I just hope that you can keep it a secret for me, as if you haven't seen me today. I will leave you an address for a while, and if you are interested, you can come to me according to the address after receiving the pension tomorrow, and I will be waiting for you at any time. ”

On the way back to the city, the three of them were not in a hurry, and rode leisurely on their horses to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Lin Qingwan thought about starting a business and complained to Xiao Muning, "I didn't expect that in this era, the idea of valuing agriculture and suppressing business is so deep-rooted, and it seems that the prince's kindness is going to be in vain!" But I'm particularly curious about one thing, what did you think when you heard my remarks this morning? ”

The two of them were very close, and Lin Qingwan looked up sideways at Xiao Muning slightly, expecting his answer.

"Although your ideas and words are relatively novel, you can feel that what you want to do is to benefit the country and the people. I also want to see what your ideal country looks like. ”

Xiao Muning accepted new things quite quickly, Lin Qingwan lowered his head and fiddled with the taro with both hands.

"Actually, the country in my mind is very simple, and I summarize three points, mainly civil rights, people's livelihood and the rule of law. Let the people improve the quality of life, let them have support for the elderly, the elderly have something to rely on, the middle-aged people perform their duties and support their families, and the children have schooling, moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor comprehensive training. In this way, everyone can live freely and dignified, and women can also come out to work, and they do not have to be married and have children at home. Improve the legal system, so that fairness and justice have laws to follow! ”

After listening to her thoughts, Xiao Muning was quite shocked, and his heart was turbulent, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Your idea is not so easy to do. I may want to be poor for the rest of my life! ”

Lin Qingwan straightened his body and said like an old pedant, "I also have the attitude of trying it out, and I can do it to whatever extent I can!" The ancients said, 'If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles.' If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas. Qiji jumps, can not take ten steps, ten horses, the merit is not relenting, perseverance, rotten wood does not break. Perseverance, gold and stone can be carved. ’”

Her inadvertent action just now provoked Xiao Muning to swallow her saliva, and after thinking for a long time, she frowned and asked, "Which ancient man is cloudy?" How I haven't heard of it! ”

Lin Qingwan didn't bother to explain, and replied perfunctorily, "I'm cloudy!" ”

Xiao Muning glanced at her with disdain.

"Actually, they didn't agree to you, and it wasn't entirely because of the idea of valuing agriculture and suppressing business. For so many days, they have been reluctant to leave the barracks, and they do not want to receive pensions, and several of them have begged me many times, after all, there are rules in the army, and I also have my selfish intentions. I hope that they can live a stable life in the future. Xiao Muning knew that she was about to open, and she couldn't help but worry on both sides.

"The prince doesn't have to worry, after all, life is his own, and everyone has the right to choose. The prince thinks it's good, but others don't necessarily think so, all we can do is give them a chance to choose. Let them go! ”

Lin Qingwan's style of acting has always been Buddhist, but in Xiao Muning's opinion, he is otherworldly and extremely open-minded.

As he was talking, someone rode a horse to meet them, and when they approached, he grabbed the reins and turned over and dismounted, knelt in the middle of the road and bowed his head and said, "Lord, someone from the palace has sent a message, so that the county lord of Qingwan is ready to receive the order." ”

"Do you know the contents of the decree?"

"Back to the prince, our people spread the news that the emperor personally decreed that the county lord of Qingwan would enter the palace as the eldest princess's companion three days later."

"Got it, you go back first, pass the word to Xiao Tan, and let her prepare!"

After the man left, Lin Qingwan couldn't accept it, and said repulsively, "Why? If she wants to learn, she can learn by herself! Why do you have to pull in someone? Sick! ”

Xiao Muning tightened the reins with a serious expression, and hugged the person in his arms, "Sit tight!" You can't be exposed, we have to go back quickly!" ”

Along the way, Lin Qingwan was so angry that he complained, "Don't you know how I died last time?" If she hadn't held that garden party, would I have been poisoned? Now she's looking for me to be her companion again, and she's embarrassed! ”

Since the emperor personally decreed it, this matter is irreversible. At this moment, Xiao Muning was also worried about the difference between calling her into the palace at this time and falling into the wolf's den. Helplessly, he just returned to Beijing, there are not many eyeliners arranged in the palace, and Lin Qingwan's self-defense ability is limited, which is really a headache!

Xiao Muning took Lin Qingwan to the east wall, "Go in by yourself!" Hurry up and change your clothes, I guess the father-in-law who delivered the message is almost at the front door! I'll go over and help you delay for a while. ”

Lin Qingwan immediately flew into the house.

When Xiao Tan saw her, he trotted over excitedly, "Miss, you're back!" The slave will help you change your clothes. ”

Just to receive a holy decree, two minutes of work. She is putting on makeup and changing clothes, which is very troublesome!

On the way back to the courtyard from the front hall, Lin Qingwan rolled up the holy decree casually, clamped it between his elbows, and walked back with his hands in front of his chest with an angry face.

It was the father-in-law Hong who announced the decree, and before leaving, he congratulated him, what to say, the honor of the lord of Qingwan is the first among the official ladies, and he can enroll in school with the princes and princesses, which shows God's grace!

Phew! Return God's grace! How many things are waiting for the old lady to do! How can I have time to play this game with you.

The more Lin Qingwan thought about it, the more angry he became, he stopped, and threw the holy decree to the ground.

Xiao Tan behind him was so frightened that his face changed, and he quickly picked it up and dusted it off, "Miss, the holy decree can't be dropped, this is a big disrespect!" ”

Xiao Muning came from behind, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I thought that the person who just received the order was not you!" ”

Lin Qingwan turned his head when he heard this, "Didn't the emperor send that treacherous and cunning father-in-law Hong to announce the decree, just to see how I reacted?" Then do it for him! Those who are too rigid are easy to break, those who are good and soft are undefeated, and I am not stupid! ”

"Admittedly, you're not stupid."

Lin Qingwan led Xiao Muning back to his study and poured him a cup of tea.

Xiao Muning blew the floating tea leaves, "A holy decree broke the plan!" What are you going to do next? ”

"The plan remains the same, the prince will inscribe a plaque for me first!" Lin Qingwan laid out the rice paper on the table, pressed it with a ruler, studied the ink, and handed the brush to Xiao Muning, "The prince will write, bubble tea shop." ”

Xiao Muning took the brush, "What is that?" What exactly is tea? Or milk? ”

"Write quickly, prince! I'll tell you later. ”

Lin Qingwan called Zizhu and handed her the inscribed words to be made as a plaque.

Xiao Tan ran in quickly, "Miss, Madam is here." ”

Xiao Muning put down the brush and walked to the back window as he spoke, "It's better to have more than one thing, I'll go first!" ”

Lin Qingwan looked at Xiao Muning, who fled in panic, and couldn't help laughing, and said arrogantly last night, 'Who dares to stop me!' Don't leave if you have the ability!

The dignified prince, every day is like a thief! It's embarrassing to say that she climbed over the wall and tiles, and now who is the one who climbs over the wall and the window! Cut~

Mrs. Lin came in with the maid, and Lin Qingwan went out to greet her, "Mother, my daughter looks good at you!" ”

"As far as your mouth is sweet, I used the bottles and cans you gave me last time."

Lin Qingwan put her arm around Mrs. Lin and welcomed her into the house, "Mother is out of use, just tell her daughter, and your daughter will change the tricks for you." ”

"Good!"

Mrs. Lin asked the maid to put the big burden on the table, and Mrs. Lin opened it, "A few new clothes made for you two days ago, and now the emperor has let you enter the palace to accompany you, so bring them as luggage!" ”

Lin Qingwan looked at the new clothes, "Thank you, mother!" ”

Mrs. Lin retreated, pulled Lin Qingwan to sit down and said, "When I think of you going to enter the palace, I can't let go of my heart!" After you enter the palace, you have to be careful in everything, don't be alone, let Zizhu follow you. ”

Lin Qingwan took his mother's hand, "Mother, don't worry!" Since it was the emperor who ordered me to enter the palace to study with me, if my daughter dies in the palace again, it will inevitably be criticized by the world, just because this emperor will also take the initiative to protect me! So it's going to be fine! ”

Mrs. Lin nodded, thinking that she was right. The emperor can't even tolerate the daughter of a courtier's family, and he can't be drowned by the spitting stars of the people!

"Mother, add vegetables at night, and my daughter will make food for you and her father." Lin Qingwan took his mother's hand and said with a smile.

Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Qingwan with a puzzled expression, "Last time, I wanted to ask you, when did you learn to cook?" When did you learn the kite? I remember when you were a kid you didn't like the most about these two? ”
