It's been a few months.

She came to Quanzhou from the capital, and there was no news of any war. Now Beiguan is the time when the weather is cold. I don't know what happened to Ah Yong? How's the war going? Are there any injuries?

He is the son who grew up in the capital, and he has been eating and drinking for more than 20 years, can he eat such hardship?

has been deliberately avoiding thinking about everything about him. But she herself knows that worry, fear and longing are not entangled in her heart all the time.

It turns out that when I miss a person to the extreme, I am afraid of remembering everything about him, and I am afraid of forgetting.

Although she knew that no matter how worried and scared she was, she couldn't help him half a point. The only way to do your best, respond to the call of the court, and spend some money on military expenses. It's just that this time, he has devoted all his strength to promoting the court's borrowing, and he also has his own selfish intentions.

With a long sigh, he put the pair of jade leaves back into the placket.

After packing up her things, Banniang planned to rush back to Nanfeng, because it was only a little more than a month before the New Year, Lu Changan suggested that Banniang convene a meeting of the shopkeepers of each branch at the end of the year, it was better to change it to the next year. After all, everyone hasn't seen her in person for nearly two years, and as a boss, it's really a little unreasonable. Sometimes you still have to show up when it's time to show up. Some words are more inspiring from her as the owner than those of Lu Changan, a senior worker. Then she returned to the capital from Quanzhou, and then followed Qingrui's sea ship to Shandong and then turned inland to return to the capital, which was also more convenient and faster.

Banniang responded to Lu Chang'an.

Because the time in Quanzhou was undecided after the year, she simply made a list of the things she needed, and asked Lu Changan to hand them to Lin Zhaoqing, all of which were the rare and exotic things she needed in the garden in the capital, and the most difficult to transport glass was the most important thing. Banniang thought about it, and before sending it, she simply raised her eyes and asked for more glass.

Since it is used as an exhibition hall by herself, all the room windows and even the interior decoration in the garden will be used at that time, and she thinks that there will be no shortage of people who want to buy glass in the future. If you have this thing to sell in your shop, you will be able to make a lot of money.

Lin Zhaoqing took the order, but he didn't take it to heart, but when he heard that Banniang was going to leave so soon, he was taken aback, and asked Lu Changan: "The matter over there in Yongxing has been discussed so quickly?" ”

"Not yet, but our young lady has already made everything we want to talk about to the villain clear, and because we are in a hurry to return to Nanfeng, this matter will be handed over to the villain to be responsible."

Lu Changan's ability, Lin Zhaoqing has seen it in the past few years, and although he was a little surprised that Banniang handed over this matter to him, he was not too surprised.

After thinking about it, he said: "This time I am too busy, I haven't talked to your young lady properly, I haven't washed her well when I came, I have to give her a chance to send her a trip before leaving, you go back and ask Miss Eight when she is free before she leaves, I will invite her to have a light meal." ”

Lu Changan was embarrassed: "Lin Ye's words, the villain must bring it." It's just that the young lady has scheduled to return to Nanfeng tomorrow, but I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up. ”

Lin Zhaoqing showed a look of disappointment.

Lu Changan looked at the faintly changing expression on his face, and he was also slightly unbearable.

It's also a confusing account.

Miss Cang'er's personality is exposed, and her thoughts about Lin Ye in the past are that he is a man, and she can see some clues, and the old lady of the Lin family likes Miss Cang'er again. The heart of Lin Ye seems to be in Miss Eight again.

After all these years, the family affairs of Lin Ye and Miss Cang'er have not yet been decided, and Miss Eight and the Seventeenth Prince have withdrawn from the family affair, although he does not know the inside story, but the Eighth Miss and the Seventeenth Prince have not been separated from the family affairs, and they are still as good as before. It's hard to guess.

These people have all reached the age when they must be married. Miss Eight is better, guarding the filial piety of Master Zeng, and it can be delayed for another two years. The others are no longer married, but what's going on? The old lady of the Lin family looked at him a few times, but she inquired about Miss Cang'er's news. He originally thought that this time Miss Cang'er came to Nanfeng, Mrs. Lin would make it clear, but there was no explanation until now.

Lu Changan shook his head secretly, feeling that he was young and wise, and he had already begged the seventeenth son to go to the fourth aunt and grandmother to intercede and marry the girl he liked. Now the two of them have a master outside and a master inside, and he is unwilling to change the throne given to him in this life.

In his opinion, if you like it, you like it, if you say it, you will succeed, and if you don't succeed, you don't have to waste your time so much, and then find someone you like, I really don't know what they are struggling with.

"Miss will come to Quanzhou after the year, and return to the capital from Quanzhou, and then ask Lin Ye's fleet to take our miss to Shandong." Lu Changan smiled and comforted.

"Naturally, there is no problem, but the fleet has to set off at the end of February, so your young lady is afraid that she won't be able to spend the Cold Food Festival in Nanfeng."

"Isn't it true that the ship doesn't sail until the end of March, except for previous years?"

"All the fleets had to be overhauled a year ago, and two trips of goods were sent over in the autumn, and the goods were in a hurry, so I had to go to sea in advance." Lin Zhaoqing explained.

Thinking that Ba Niang would return to Nanfeng the next day, he said: "There are some things on this list, we brought some back from the fleet in the open sea this time, and there are some glasses, but not much, you go back and ask Miss Ba, if she wants it urgently, I will leave this batch of goods for her." ”

The glaze is the garden decoration of the capital, if there is a spot, you can complete the construction period in advance. Lu Changan hurriedly said: "It must be needed, and there is no need to ask Miss Eight." No matter how much, I hope Lin Ye can keep it for us, the price is negotiable. ”

"There are not many goods, since it is the goods that your lady wants, it will be a cost." Lin Zhaoqing smiled, paused, put away the order form sent by Lu Changan, and planned to go out with Lu Changan, "Since you eighth lady will leave tomorrow, I just picked out some things to give her, if you are free, you will take it back." ”

"This," Lu Changan was a little embarrassed, thought about it, and responded with a smile. Miss Eight doesn't accept it, it's not his business, he is only responsible for delivering it. "Cheng, but Miss Eight is fine, the things that should be brought back are all packed, if Master Lin wants to find Miss Eight for something, he can make an appointment with Miss Eight to talk to him in the afternoon."

Lin Zhaoqing pursed his lips and said half-loudly: "I'll go with you." ”

When Banniang heard that Lin Zhaoqing was coming, she was packing up the things she wanted to bring back with Xiao Lu, put down the cotton cloth of Bangfan that she was carrying in her hand, and was silent, so she asked him to enter the study in the front yard.

Banniang changed into the clothes of the guest and went to the study. When the two sides met, they turned it politely, and when the maids served tea, Banniang saw that Lin Zhaoqing had something to say, and waved her hand to let the people serving in the house retreat.

"Brother Lin has something to say?"

Seeing her smiling skillfully, I thought about it for a long time in my heart, but I couldn't say a word.

"Brother Lin?"

"Banniang, there is a saying, I hope to tell the truth."

Banniang sighed secretly, some things are better to make clear. How could he not know what he was thinking about himself? After pretending to be stupid for so many years, I thought that when he looked back, he would understand Cang'er's affection for him. It's a pity that when I came back to Quanzhou this time, Banniang could see it, no one would wait for anyone in place, it was Cang'er to Lin Zhaoqing, and in his eyes, the brilliance of the previous years had long gone.

In this world, no one can stand still, without reservation, just waiting for you to turn back.

People change, and so do you. I hope he does too.

"Brother Lin, please speak."

Lin Zhaoqing's face slowly turned red, but looking at Banniang's eyes became brighter and brighter, as if it was popular to cross the night in an instant: "I heard that your relationship with the seventeenth son of the Lu family has retired, but is it true?" ”

His words were quick and urgent.

"Because Banniang's heart belongs, the seventeenth brother of the Lu family retired from my family in order to fulfill his relationship with me."

The heart belongs, the heart belongs.

When Lin Zhaoqing heard this, he didn't know what it was like for a while. It's like a world of joy that suddenly turns into a large void of Hongmeng. It's just that this step has already been taken, if he doesn't ask the truth, how can he be willing?

"Can I ask you who you like? In the past two years, I have not heard of you making a marriage with anyone else. If it's possible, Banniang, I'll treat you to your heart, I don't believe you don't know anything. I ......"

"Brother Lin!" Banniang interrupted him.

Lin Zhaoqing was stunned for a moment. There was no impatience in her voice, but there was a chill in it, and it was obvious that she didn't want to listen to him anymore when she interrupted him so eagerly.

Lin Zhaoqing's face instantly turned gray.

Yes, with her background, how could she fall in love with a little monk born in Buddhism?

Banniang has always been his best friend, and when she sees him like this, she can't bear it, but some words are incomprehensible and can't be explained clearly. Some friendships are also destined to be unreciprocated.

"Brother Lin is one of the most cherished friends in my life. If it weren't for Brother Lin's help, Banniang would not be where it is today. In Banniang's heart, Brother Lin is as precious as family. However, even I can't force myself when it comes to emotional matters. Banniang is destined to not be able to reciprocate. I don't want Brother Lin to waste it for me. There are many good women in the world, and Banniang thinks that she has no appearance or talent, but she is not enough. Brother Lin is so good-looking, you will definitely meet the woman you really like in the future. Banniang will bless Brother Lin......"

"Yes, there are so many good women in the world, but there is only one Banniang." Lin Zhaoqing smiled bitterly, "Banniang doesn't need to say it anymore, Lin understands what you mean." ”

After a few years of longing, once he woke up from a dream, Lin Zhaoqing only felt that a piece of his heart seemed to have been cut off by life. But he is a proud man in the end. Even if there is a severe pain in his heart, he refuses to show it again.

"It's me who took the liberty today, and I ask Banniang not to take it to heart."

"It's a bad girl." Banniang was also relieved to see that his expression slowly returned to his former self-promise.

Actually, Lin Zhaoqing is more suitable for himself than Ah Yong.

She and him have common likes and common topics, but how can they choose between love in this world and reason?

After Lin Zhaoqing said goodbye and left, Banniang sat alone in the academy and thought about it for a long time. There was only one sigh.

She was slightly sentimental for rejecting someone else's affection, and after rejecting Wan Jia's proposal, although she pretended to be indifferent, she lost her soul when no one was around, which was also distressing.

But everyone's life is their own choice. No one can help. In this world, there is never a thing that can have the best of both worlds.

When I returned to Nan Fung, it was the end of November.
