Under the apricot blossom tree in front of the Yucui Pavilion in the Imperial Garden of the Forbidden City, Lin Qinglin, who looked confused, and Markham, who swore by him, stared at each other.

"You, what are you talking about?"

"I said, there's nothing wrong with marrying you." This tone seemed to be a helpless choice, but the man's resolute face was a little more shy.

He is a 30-year-old man, and standing in front of 26-year-old Lin Qinglin looks a little naïve.

It's not that he hasn't been in love, and even to a certain extent, he has never lacked women around him since he was sensible. The family's expectations for him are very high, and there are too many things that are not allowed in the controlled life, so at least he wants to allow it in marriage.

The power to allow for the choice of loved ones.

and Lin Qinglin have only known each other for two days, and they say that love is not enough, but they are the people Markham wants to try to love.

"I don't want to." She didn't take it seriously and refused with a smile.

"Why? Am I bad? "If you have money and beauty, your personality will not be bad. Although he will not be the heir of the Wan family in the future, the assets he has in his hands are enough for her to open a few platinum flowers, and it also saves her from intrigue with others.

He couldn't think of a reason for his rejection.

"You can also see that I can't stand the winter in the north." So she won't marry to the north.

"I don't know how advanced smart homes are now? No more winter, take you back to the south for the winter. "It's definitely not okay to leave the capital for too long, but it's not a big problem to take her out for a winter.

The more he thought about it, the more Markham felt that he had a good idea.

"Please, I don't know why you have such thoughts, but really don't make trouble." After experiencing a Jiang Qiyan, she will never price herself like a commodity again.

If it wasn't for the marriage she really wanted, she wouldn't have wronged herself anymore, and she wouldn't be willing to ...... betrayed Qin Shiyi again.

"Do you have someone you like?" There was only this possibility, and the sadness that had flashed in her eyes before.

"Well, there's someone you like." This time she replied with a happy smile.

"Do you like it?"

"Well, I like it very much!" I like it so much that I don't want anything and willingly stay by his side.

"Am I not having a chance?"

"Well, no!"

Every answer, she was neat and tidy.

This is the highest respect for Markham, she doesn't like to ride a donkey to find a horse, and she doesn't want to make the other party feel that there is still a chance because of her unclear attitude.

"Lin Qinglin, do you know that you are such a stupid person!" Miss him so good quality man.

"I know, but Mr. tour guide, you said that you came to take me to the Forbidden City, you can't fool me without an introduction, right?" Naturally, the subject shifted.

Markham didn't embarrass her anymore, but he really liked her character, soft and strong, looking like a doll, but actually having her own principles. And I won't lose myself because of this colorful world.

They walked around the Forbidden City for a whole day that day, Lin Qinglin's history is not particularly good, but he used to love watching Qing palace dramas.

"Alas, those women who live in the deep palace are actually very pitiful."

"No, it won't."

"Huh?"

"In history, the harem is not as exaggerated as the TV series, everyone's concept of hierarchy is very clear, even if they compete for favor, it is impossible to really be like in the TV series, the real harem is more of a rival than a colleague."

"Is this an understanding from a straight man's perspective?" completely broke the harem in Lin Qinglin's impression.

"It's a real historical perspective, how many murderous concubines can you name? And many emperors and queens also have very deep feelings. "It's just that the TV series is too demonizing.

The two walked all the way, Markham Wen gave her popular science knowledge all the way, he was originally from a study of architecture, and he could talk about the architecture of the Forbidden City for a long time.

"Do you understand all that?"

"I don't think I understand."

Lin Qinglin was a good listener, so he said so much unconsciously.

"Alright, let's go back." Noticing that she was walking more and more slowly, Markham noticed that she seemed to be a little tired.

"I'm sorry, I don't usually walk so much, but today the road has reached a new height." She smiled awkwardly.

"Let's go back."

And today's tour of the Forbidden City, Qin Shiyi knows everything, and the most eye-catching thing about the pile of photos in his hand is the photo of him holding Lin Qinglin's hand and putting it in his pocket.

……

Today's dinner is different from yesterday's banquet, it is just a family banquet for thousands of people, and most of the old mansions here are still living in the center of the capital, so at present, there are only Markham Lan and Markham Wen who are left behind, and Qin Shiyi and Lin Qinglin who are left.

"Did Qinglin sleep well yesterday? The servant said you were still sleeping, so I told them not to disturb you. ”

"I'm sorry, Grandpa Wan. I rarely take a vacation, so I ...... carelessly" She really didn't hear the maid knocking at the door in the morning, and couldn't help but glance at the man sitting across from her, and if it weren't for this initiator, she wouldn't have slept until three o'clock in the morning.

"It's nothing, you young people's habits, where did you go to play with Jinwen today?"

"We went to the Forbidden City and walked around." What the old man asked, what she answered, behaved generously.

Master Wan looked at Lin Qinglin with satisfaction, he released the news to find a wife for his third grandson, and he fell in love with Lin Qinglin at first sight in the photos of a group of ladies.

The first is to look pleasing to the eye, and then immediately let people collect her news, and I feel that it is very difficult for a girl.

Wanjia no longer needs to rely on marriage to add something to the family, the family background is almost enough, he values character more, and Lin Qinglin is a daughter-in-law suitable for Wanjia in his eyes.

The character is not ostentatious, not arrogant, and will not drag the retreat of the Wan family.

"Did this stinky boy take care of you?"

"Yes, thanks to him."

But the atmosphere between Master Wan and Markham Wen is a bit delicate.

"Looks like you're having a great time?" Markham's question was meaningful.

Probably a woman's intuition, she doesn't like Lin Qinglin, a woman who looks too perfect and too harmless is terrible.

So, sometimes people have to expose their shortcomings.

"Well, thank you very much."

"Shi Yi, will you go out with me tomorrow?"

"Okay." Qin Shiyi replied casually, and looked at Markham Wen without a trace.

It's just a day, did this man fall in love with her? It's not cool, it's very unpleasant.

's possessiveness for Lin Qinglin has never decreased by a point.

……

The dinner ended in their own careful thoughts, and after taking a bath, Lin Qinglin gradually became uneasy in the room, she couldn't live in Wanjia like this all the time, she had to find a way to explain it to Old Man Wan.

She made an appointment to meet Markham in the evening in a remote backyard of the old house.

"Why don't you wear more clothes when it's so cold at night." Seeing that her hair was still wet and not dry, and she came out wearing a single coat and a thick coat, he couldn't help but worry that the old house of the Wan family was in the mountains, and the temperature was lower than that in the city.

"It's okay, just a few words."

"Say, what are you doing with me so late?" vaguely knew that what she was going to say might be something she didn't like to hear.

"I plan to say goodbye to Master Wan tomorrow morning, and return to Shenyang on the afternoon plane."

"......" Markham heard the meaning of this clearly, she still wouldn't consider marrying him, a rare heartbeat in her life, I'm afraid I'm going to miss it.

"There are also a lot of things waiting for me to go back and deal with in Shenyang, and I had a great time today."

"If it's pleasant, stay a few more days, and no one will drive you away." If it's negative, even he feels naïve.

"If you have a chance, you are welcome to come to Shenyang, and I will take you out for a walk when the time comes, maybe there is no way to explain it as wonderful as you."

The atmosphere of "......" was deadlocked, Markham heard his unwillingness, and Lin Qinglin had her insistence.

"Shi Yi, do you know why my grandfather likes to live in the old mansion? It's because of a bamboo forest planted here, I'll take you to see it. ”

"Can't you come and see it during the day?" He couldn't understand the brain circuit of this young lady, so he pulled him out in the middle of the night to see the bamboo.

"Don't you think the night is scary? Haha, we can play the Courage Test. "Actually, I want to find a place with few people to be alone with him for a while.

She is a young lady of the Wan family, at least she has a tutor, it is impossible to go to his room in the open, and the old mansion is full of people who don't even have the opportunity to get along with the two of them.

That's when I came up with this excuse and wanted to take him to this bamboo forest.

"Brother Jinwen? Why are you here? "It's so annoying, I can run into him here!

"Why did you get out?"

In the dark and windy winter of the night, the four of them gathered in the bamboo forest inexplicably, each with their own embarrassment.

"That's all I have to say, go back first." Lin Qinglin was just about to turn around and leave.

"Ahh Markham suddenly screamed, and by the moonlight, she could faintly see a snake on her lap.

"Don't move!" Qin Shiyi and Markham Wen wanted to find an opportunity to take the snake away from her.

"Ahh Don't touch me! Markham Lan jumped on the ground, and the snake that was originally wrapped around her leg seemed to be frightened and retreated, but when the snake was about to carry out a second wave of attacks, Markham Lan was anxious and pulled Lin Qinglin in front of him as a shield.

"Hmm!" Lin Qinglin did not have the good luck of Markham, and the position of his ankle was bitten by a snake fiercely.

"Qinglin!"

In an instant, the snake disappeared into the night again.

"Well, it hurts!" Her calves were a little numb, and I don't know if it was bitten.

"Jinlan immediately contacted Dr. Li to come over, and I sent her back to her room."

But there was a figure who was faster than Markham Wen and hugged Lin Qinglin.

Wan Jinlan, who was still frightened and did not come back to his senses, stood still in place.

"What are you still doing, hurry up and call!" Qin Shiyi, who has always been gentle and doting on her, yelled at her uncontrollably, and carried Lin Qinglin back to the room in the next second.
