Lin Shixun, the new Tanhualang, knelt in front of the emperor with his head bowed.

"Who do you say you want me to marry you?" The black-robed emperor gently stroked the totem on the dragon chair, his expression dark.

"Xie Jingshu, the second daughter of Nanning Bo, the two of us are in love, and I hope the emperor will be fulfilled." Lin Shixun's tone was resolute.

"Huh! Hit it off? The man in the dragon chair had a sarcastic look on his face.

"I hope Your Majesty will be fulfilled!" Lin Shixun bowed his head.

"How dare you!" This gritted tone made the father-in-law on the side tremble in fear.

"All down."

There are only two monarchs and ministers in front of the palace, and the atmosphere is strange.

"Repeat, who do you ask to marry?"

"Nanning Bo's second daughter, Xie Jingshu!" No matter how many times he asked, Lin Shixun's answer was still firm.

The recital on the dragon table was swept to the ground, and the palace people outside were afraid of their heads, for fear of being affected.

Lin Shixun raised his eyes: "Your Majesty, do you want to know the last words of the empress!"

A sharp gaze shot at the kneeling man: "Are you negotiating terms with me?"

……………………………………………

On a hazy March day, the cold air has not subsided, and there is a little fog on the water, which is illusory and ethereal.

There were a number of people standing on the pier, led by a man and a woman, holding an umbrella and looking at it from afar, dressed richly and richly, with some anxiety on their faces, they should have been waiting for a long time.

"Why hasn't it arrived yet?" The man muttered.

"Maybe it's foggy on the water, and the speed is slow!"

The woman next to her was calmer than the man, and her soft voice soothed the man's anxiety.

In the expectation of many pairs of eyes, several merchant ships with the word "Qing" hanging on their sails came, and everyone's faces were happy.

"It's finally here!" The man breathed a sigh of relief!

The merchant ship slowly docked, and a row of maids and maids disembarked one after another, lined up in an orderly manner, for fear of being left behind.

The last strong and sturdy family member came out with a little boy on his back, and everyone's eyes lit up.

The little boy was about twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in a blue shirt, with black silk hair, his face hanging down, and he couldn't see clearly, and his exposed skin was white and delicate.

This is the cousin that Nanning Bofu wants to pick up - Lin Wan.

Lin Wan, who was lying on the maid's back, was uncomfortable, dizzy and dizzy, but she was still conscious, and she saw everything in front of her a little, not a long black, but a light.

She didn't know what was going on, so she came to this place. All she could know was that she was alive.

The first to pick up Lin Wan was Nanning Bo Xie An's eldest son, Xie Wentao and his wife Su, the two had just been married for less than half a year, and they were newly married Yan'er, and they also entrusted the instructions of the old lady to pick up people in person.

Lin Wan was put into the couch of the carriage, and the red felt was padded underneath, and the maid covered her with a thin mattress, and served her properly.

Then, there was a burst of sweet fragrance from the tip of her nose, Lin Wan felt inexplicably at ease, the wheels rolled forward, and with the shaking of the carriage, she closed her eyelids and fell asleep.

There are few rich and noble families in this wharf, and one by one the dock workers rest and talk about each other.

"Nanning Bofu Xie family?" A young man who has just come to the capital is not very clear.

"You don't even know that? Concubine Xie Guifei, the most favored in the emperor's harem today, you should always know this, it is their family. ”

"It turned out to be the Xie family~ So who is this pick-up?"

"The little son of the Qingyang Lin family."

"Lin's ah~ Aren't these two families old and dead? Moving around again?" Another brawny man interjected.

"But I can't bear to worry about the old lady of the Xie family."

Everyone nodded, old man, always hope that the children and grandchildren will be full and lively.

"A few years ago, there was such a big trouble, and the Lin family sent this little boy here!"

"Today's Xie family, the Lin family can't wait to climb up!"

"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi!"

……

In the middle of the night, Lin Wan was awakened by a nightmare, cold sweat was stuck on his body, and the house was pitch black. She caressed her face, it was real, she was alive.

Before he could recover his senses, he heard footsteps, from the outside in, and then, the oil lamp flickered, dispelling the darkness.

The person who came was a young maid in her teens, with a tall posture and a cold face, walked to the bed, and skillfully investigated Lin Wan, her brows furrowed slightly.

Without any extra inquiry, the maid directly called the maid outside and prepared hot water to eat.

The two girls outside responded, and soon the people came in with copper basins and food, and went out after putting them down, leaving only the cold maid waiting.

Everything was ready, and because of her weak health, she fell asleep again, half asleep and half awake, until the morning when the rooster crowed, and she was able to escape from the nightmare.

The black and white impermanence in the dream haunted his mind, and cold sweat broke out on his body, and Lin Wan didn't dare to sleep again.

Endured the sleepiness, from the hazy light to the bright light, the cold maid last night came in first, followed by two little maids, carrying two large copper kettles, and concentrating on pouring the water in the copper kettle into the copper basin and tooth jar in the corner of the wall in turn.

The rest of the people were all gone, and only the cold maid was left to serve her.

"Young Master, open your mouth!" The cold maid pushed the tooth jar in front of her, and her tone was not emotional.

"What's your name?"

The maid in front of her seemed to be a little flustered, and then said, "Slave Yushuang."

Lin Wan nodded, cooperated with her waiting, and after washing, the maid dressed her neatly, a men's dress, cyan brocade, and a good texture.

She went to the bronze mirror by the window, and there was a strange, immature, and juvenile appearance reflected in it.

She touched it, flat chest, but not nothing. She sighed, it's a woman~

Woman dressed as a man? Lin Wan cast her eyes on Yushuang.

Yushuang still had an indifferent face, and reminded him: "Young master, the old lady is still waiting for you!"

Who is the old lady? Lin Wan couldn't figure it out, and she was also very confused, so she could only take one step at a time.

"Let's go!"

She was led by the maids, and before leaving, she didn't forget to look up at the plaque at the door - Qingyuan.

On the way, I met a lot of maids, most of whom called out to the young master according to the rules, and then left in a hurry.

A few people stopped at a tall courtyard gate - Shou An Zhai. The name of this hospital should be that an old man lives there, or an old man who believes in Buddhism.

There was an old lady waiting at the door, and when she saw someone coming, she greeted a few people warmly.

said happily: "The old lady is really looking forward to the young master!"

Lin Wan didn't think so, if she really looked forward to it, she should have seen her when she entered the mansion last night, and she wouldn't have waited until now.

Yushuang was still cold, and she didn't say much, and the master and servant were all there, so that the mother was faceless.

"Mother Li, who is this?" A beautifully dressed girl appeared, looking at Lin Wan with contempt.

Li's mother introduced: "Miss Yuxi, this is your cousin Lin Wan."

"What cousin? I don't recognize this poor relative. Xie Yuxi stepped on embroidered shoes, lifted her skirt with her face up, didn't look at her again, and walked into the house.

Lin Wan, who was scorned, calmed down, she was really a tsundere little girl. So he followed behind Li's mother and also entered the yard.

Here is plain clear, on both sides of the courtyard gate is a wide verandah, the courtyard in the middle is very large, planted with flowers and trees, there are birds chirping, it seems full of vitality.

Bypassing the verandah, passing through two hanging flower doors, it is a small three-room hall, and behind the hall is the main courtyard. There are five upper rooms in the front, all of which are carved beams and painted buildings. On the platform, there were two maids in brocade clothes, and when they saw him coming, they didn't greet him, but just raised the curtain and let Lin Wan enter the door.

There was a faint aroma in the house, very similar to the smell of yesterday's carriage, and the smell was pleasant.
