When Steward Wang saw his young lady coming back, he immediately sent someone to inform the lord and his wife.

After Lin Qingwan entered the Prime Minister's Mansion in an orderly manner, he was relieved and pulled Zhao Lingxiao through the garden to the front hall.

She turned her head and instructed Xiao Tan and Zizhu, "You are also tired today, go back and rest first!" When I went back, I sent someone to bring me more bubble tea. ”

After they left, Zhao Lingxiao asked, "What is this bubble tea?" ”

"Don't worry, you'll find out in a moment."

Lin Qingwan walked into the front hall, "Father and mother, I'm back!" ”

Zhao Lingxiao came in after her and saluted Lin Xiang and his wife.

Mrs. Lin has been restless since her daughter was taken away, no matter how Lin Xiang persuaded her, it was useless, but she counted her own father-in-law, what is the use of living in the temple? What is the use of the important ministers of the state? Be cautious in everything, and in the end, you can't even protect your daughter!

Lin Xiang has always favored his wife and didn't dare to refute. Since his daughter's accident, he also knew in his heart that if he wasn't in a high position and his daughter had such a marriage contract, the emperor would have been suspicious, and all the princes would have red eyes, which led to death.

What his wife said is even more right, he has done his best for the country all his life, a loyal heart for the country and the people, heaven and earth can be learned, but in the end, because of the royal dispute, he almost took his daughter's life, how sad this state of mind is!

Fortunately, Zhao Lingxiao came to the house, heard about it, and went straight to the palace, which made Mrs. Lin feel a little more relieved.

Mrs. Lin asked with concern, "How is it?" Don't be embarrassed! ”

Lin Qingwan laughed in her heart, her mother, who had been bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope.

"Mother rest assured, the emperor said that he would issue a decree to canonize me as the county lord in two days, and also said that I would get married on a certain day in the year of the marriage!"

"Did the emperor mention the marriage contract to you?"

Lin Xiang's reaction was a little surprised, as if he didn't say it on purpose before. Due to Zhao Lingxiao's presence, he didn't continue to say anything, but said lightly, "I thought you were still young, and you had amnesia not long ago, so I didn't tell you in advance." ”

At this time, the maid came in to deliver bubble tea, Lin Qingwan got up and took it, and served a bowl to everyone present, "Father and mother try it, this is my new summer drink recently." ”

Watching them drink and introducing, "I named it bubble tea, and the small black beans in it are made of glutinous rice, so try it to see if it tastes good!" ”

Mrs. Lin was inevitably a little dissatisfied with the title of county lord canonized by the emperor, but seeing that her daughter didn't care about this, she didn't say it.

After everyone tasted it, they were full of praise, which made Lin Qingwan raise his fighting spirit.

"Father, I want to open a shop that sells this, do you think it's feasible?"

Lin Xiang saw that his daughter didn't take this entry into the palace to heart at all, but was full of thoughts about how to do business, so he put this matter aside for the time being!

He stroked his beard and smiled, "The daughter of the Prime Minister wants to do business, which is really unheard of since ancient times!" ”

When Lin Qingwan heard his father's words, it seemed that he was in vain, after all, it was difficult for everyone to show up when they went out to show their heads.

Lin Qingwan returned to his seat and filled himself a bowl and drank it quietly, but Lin Xiang said, "Madam, I remember that there is a good shop at home, and if it is taken back after a while, it will be handed over to Wan'er!" ”

Mrs. Lin didn't expect that her father-in-law would agree with her daughter to mess around like this.

Lin Qingwan didn't give her mother a chance to refute, "Thank you, father and mother!" ”

Since Lin Xiangdu supported it, Mrs. Lin shook her head, she could only accept this result, "I'll send a few people to help you when I go back." ”

Lin Qingwan had his own ideas, and hurriedly refused, "No need, mother, I can do it myself." ”

Mrs. Lin originally wanted to leave Zhao Lingxiao to have dinner at the house, but Zhao Lingxiao still had something to do at home and it was inconvenient to stay.

Zhao Lingxiao went to Lin Qingwan's courtyard to chat with her for a while after drinking milk tea, and then talked about General Zhao's return to the court.

Lin Qingwan, as a modern person, has never seen the scene of thousands of empty alleys, the last time she went to the funeral, she was in a hurry, but she was lying in a coffin, and when she came out, there was only an empty alley!

"When the general returns from victory, do you have to go to the city to greet him?" Lin Qingwan asked curiously.

The development of the etiquette system in this era is quite sound, Zhao Lingxiao gave Lin Qingwan a rough explanation of the arrangements of the Ministry of Rites, but it is a pity that she can only greet them at home as a female dependent, and she has to wait for them to come out of the palace, and she can't see the excitement at the city gate, which is really a pity.

She said that Lin Qingwan felt a little itchy in her heart, and hundreds of civil and military officials lined up to greet her at the city gate, just because of this pomp and circumstance, not to mention the people, this meeting can be met several times in a lifetime.

By the time of dinner, Zhao Lingxiao had already gone back. Lin Xiang's family of three sat at the dining table and finished dinner quietly.

Lin Xiang put down the dishes and chopsticks, and stopped talking, not knowing where to start, "Your marriage contract was set by the emperor when you were a child. Your mother has a very good personal relationship with the mother of the third prince, and often takes you to the house to play. Once the emperor saw it, he felt that the two of you had no guesses, so there was a marriage contract. ”

Lin Qingwan asked lightly, "The crown prince at that time was not the emperor today, right?" ”

Lin Xiang sighed deeply, "Yes! I helped him ascend to the supreme position, and I have the situation he is now! ”

"This is what the emperor wants to see, and it is also the trend of the situation, and my father does not have to blame himself." Lin Qingwan said comforting to his father.

"My father doesn't want you to marry into the royal family, and he has also mentioned retiring from marriage! But they were all refuted! ”

Worship the prime minister and go down in history, he used to be the ambition of many scholars, and now he has done it, but he wants to take the happiness of his daughter's life, he knew that this was the case, he would rather choose to be an ordinary person, even if it is a pawn of a peddler!

Lao Lin's mood, Lin Qingwan can understand, marrying the third prince who holds the military power, not to mention whether he has the idea of seizing the heir, how many people have to worry about this military power alone; If she participates in the succession and wins, she will enter the palace gate as deep as the sea; If you lose, you have to give an account for the lives of hundreds of people in your family. Looking at it now, no matter which path you take, it is full of thorns.

Now she knows that it is not that the days were peaceful a few days ago, but that the real battle has not yet begun!

"Father, this is all fate, that is, your life and the daughter's life, and we all have to bear it. Anyway, life has to be lived, so let's live in the moment, do it and cherish it! ”

Lin Qingwan's eyes are soft, in that world, the three of them are busy with their own things, always gathering less and leaving more, and now they can continue this fate, although fate can't be controlled by themselves, then enjoy the moment!

Lin Xiang looked at his daughter, who was only fourteen years old, and said such an old-fashioned word, he couldn't help but feel even more sorry for his daughter, Mrs. Lin had silently wiped away her tears with her sleeve.

Now Lin Qingwan is more curious about her fiancé who she has never met. But neither her father nor her mother wanted her to marry, and she didn't want to ask.

After nightfall, Lin Qingwan lay on the bed and did stretching exercises. When she came to this world, she was quite accustomed to it, and the only thing she didn't like was that she couldn't see her fingers at night, even if she lit oil lamps and candles, the light didn't shine anywhere.

"Miss, last time you asked your subordinates to check the boss behind that teahouse. The shopkeeper has an innocent family background, and his subordinates didn't find anything unusual! But the subordinates found out something else! Zizhu stood beside the bed and reported the results.

"What?" The movements in Lin Qingwan's hands did not stop.

"The storyteller only talked about that one, and then disappeared, and no one knew him in the entire teahouse."

"It seems that the strength behind this teahouse is too great, and I deliberately didn't let you find out! It's okay, we're weak, it's normal if we can't find it, you go back to sleep! Reasonable, Lin Qingwan had already guessed.

Xiao Tan came in with a tea tray, and when he saw Lin Qingwan making strange movements on the bed, he was already surprised, "Hasn't Miss slept yet?" ”

"Can't sleep!" Lin Qingwan calculated the time, and according to modern terms, it was only about nine o'clock, so naturally he couldn't sleep.

"Slave and maid talk to Miss!" Xiao Tan placed the tea tray on the round table not far away.

Lin Qingwan sat up with a carp, "You tell me about the three princes!" ”
