The night was falling, and the insects on the mountain were undulating, masking the sound of the slightest movement outside the house.

The man in gray stood outside the house, looked at the locked doors and windows of the room not far away, took out a bamboo tube from his sleeve, opened the lid, and carefully released the contents of it, and then picked up the bone flute next to him and put it to his mouth, and began to blow a strange tune.

The song was slow, and the insects crawling on the ground were not in a hurry.

In the room, Lin Jinwen and Mo Xue glanced at each other, Mo Xue bowed slightly, raised the salt-stained pottery urn in her hand, and signaled that all preparations were ready.

Cai'er sat on the beam of the room, her body trembled slightly, seeing Lin Jinwen and Mo Xue on the side calmly and freely, gritted her teeth, and only stared at the tables, stools and firewood stacked from the ground to the position near the beam, and did not dare to make a sound.

When Lin Jinwen heard the bone flute sound, she could feel that the jade butterfly in her arms began to heat up again.

The bell hanging behind the door made a slight noise, and they knew that something they were waiting for had come.

A few people whose eyes had long been accustomed to the darkness could barely see clearly that four or five palm-length but slippery Gu worms began to crawl out of the ground covered with salt, and the Gu worms were stained with salt, and their movements immediately became chaotic, and they climbed up to the saltless table on one side in a panic. When the table was popular, it climbed up faster and faster, until it reached the top, and Mo Xue was quick to put them into the pottery urn and seal them with the lid.

"Miss......" she looked at Lin Jinwen in a deep voice.

Lin Jinwen took out the jade butterfly in her arms, and only then approached those Gu worms, and the Gu worms actually quieted down instantly, as if they were afraid and surrendered.

The corners of Lin Jin's mouth were hooked, and she looked at the incessant flute outside the house: "Wait for him to come in." ”

"Yes." Mo Xue bowed her head, and Cai'er on one side was already so frightened that she lost half her life.

It didn't take long for the flute to sound rapidly, as if urging, but the man in gray couldn't hear half of the movement.

He frowned slightly, the sound of the flute stopped abruptly, and looked at the guards on the left and right: "Go in and have a look." ”

The two guards responded and hurriedly walked in.

Before they entered the room, they found salt all over the floor and a high table piled up in the middle, and before they had time to be shocked, the door behind them was suddenly closed, and then a black shadow rushed behind them, and a handful of juice filled with the smell of medicinal herbs covered their mouths and noses.

The gray-clothed man outside saw that the attendant had gone in and had no news, knowing that Bacheng had been exposed, and he didn't care about those Gu worms, so he turned around and left directly.

Mo Xue sticky saw him leave by the door, and then said to Lin Jinwen: "Miss, the person is gone." ”

Lin Jinwen looked at the guards on the ground, and then looked at the pottery urn in her hand, with a gloomy face: "They should go down the mountain immediately, and send this thing back to them." Although she knew that it should be Zhao Kan behind her, she still wanted to make sure, and today's arrangement could not be wasted.

"Yes." Mo Xue's eyes darkened slightly, and she immediately went out with the pottery urn.

Lin Jinwen looked at the attendant who had fainted on the ground, and glanced at Cai'er: "Bring the rope." ”

Elsewhere in the nunnery at this time, Zhao Kan looked at the man in gray with a bit of sarcasm: "Didn't you say that no one can escape your Gu, why did you miss it today?" ”

"I don't know, but it should be foolproof, and the attendant didn't move after he entered, so they must have been prepared." The man in gray said.

Zhao Kan's eyes were a little colder, and he only stared at him: "How could they have been prepared?" Could it be that you can still know that this king is going to harm her today? Could it be that someone around him leaked the news. ”

The man in gray saw that he was staring at him, and hurriedly knelt down; "Lord Wang Mingjian, although I am from southern Xinjiang, I sincerely defect to the prince."

"It's best if you have this faithfulness. It's not long to stay on the mountain, so let's go down. "Just leave.

The man in gray followed behind, his face a little embarrassed, but in the end he still followed.

There was already their carriage waiting at the foot of the mountain, and after Zhao Huaiyan got into the carriage, the man in gray felt that something was wrong, as if he felt that the previous Gu worm was here.

He was about to pick up the bone flute and blow it, but before he could do it, he heard Zhao Kan open the curtain of the carriage and look at him: "What's wrong?" ”

The man in gray remembered his suspicions about himself, afraid that he would think he was useless, so he put down the bone flute again and shook his head: "It's okay." ”

"Let's go." Zhao Kan glanced at him coldly, then lowered the curtain and let the carriage go.

He sat and sit, always feeling that something was wrong, as if something was squirming under him, he twisted his eyebrows slightly, and when he got up, he saw that a mass of black things quickly got into his sleeve, as if biting his flesh and trying to get in.

"Stop!" He shouted, and someone outside immediately stopped the carriage, and the man in gray noticed that it was not good, so he hurriedly got off the horse and came over: "Lord, what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Kan lifted his sleeves and saw four or five black Gu worms drilling into his skin, the scene was very weird and terrifying.

Everyone was startled, and Zhao Kan looked at the man in gray coldly: "This is your Gu worm?" ”

The man in gray came back to his senses, and immediately blew the bone flute, accompanied by the strange flute sound, those Gu insects began to twist their bodies and drill out, Zhao Kan's face turned blue in pain, and when all the Gu worms fell to the ground, he stepped on it without saying a word, and the man in gray didn't have time to speak.

"Lord Wang......" he shouted.

"What's wrong? Feel sorry for how many worms this king has trampled on you? ”

"It's not." The man in gray gritted his teeth slightly and looked at him: "This Gu worm itself is highly poisonous, and it has been in contact with your skin, so you must make them into medicine to detoxify." ”

Zhao Kan's eyebrows twisted fiercely: "There is no other way?" ”

"I refine each Gu worm with a different poison, there is no other way." The man in gray shook his head, Zhao Kan held his breath, and coldly moved his feet, but he couldn't take the carriage anymore, so he directly asked the horse to ride away.

In the distance, Mo Xue stared at him and left, before turning his head and going up the mountain, telling Lin Jinwen about the situation here.

Lin Jinwen had already guessed that it was Zhao Kan, but in his previous life, he didn't see him having contact with the people of southern Xinjiang, what is going on in this life?

She was a little puzzled, she raised the jade butterfly in her hand and looked at it, her heart sank slightly, she always felt as if she was involved in a bigger dispute, whether Wei Yunyi wanted to help her, or let her protect this jade butterfly.

She thought about it all night but couldn't figure it out, until the next day before dawn, she got up and prepared to go down the mountain.

When I went down the mountain to see him off, the person who came was not Jing'en, but another sister-in-law, Lin Jinwen knew that there was a lot of strife on this mountain, and she didn't care about it, so she went down the mountain and returned to Beijing.

Xu Zhaozhao waited at the gate of the city early, and when he saw her carriage coming, he immediately greeted her.

"Sister Jin!" She shouted as she rode her little marre, following the carriage.

Lin Jinwen lifted the curtain of the car, saw that she looked good, was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Zhaozhao, why are you here?" ”

"I'm here to pick you up and take you to my house, my mother and brother are back, and I'm about to see you." Xu Zhaozhao said with a smile.

Lin Jin's wife was overwhelmed, remembering what the emperor said before that he would give Zhao Zhao to Zhao Tian, and asked, "Has my uncle been reinstated?" ”

Xu Zhaozhao shook his head: "The emperor wanted my father to be reinstated, but my father refused, so he asked for his order to go to the country to serve as a sacrificial wine." ”

"Sacrificial wine?" The corners of Lin Jin's mouth raised: "For a person like my uncle, who is full of wealth, it is most suitable to make this sacrificial wine." "Most of the Guozijian is a place for the children of the nobility and the best children of the poor family to study, and the sacrificial wine is also the head of the Guozijian, which can not only do learning, but also not be interfered with by the imperial court, and the most important time, most of the officials in the spring every year are from the Guozijian.

She paused, and then looked at Xu Zhaozhao: "Did the emperor say anything else?" Like giving you a marriage? ”

Xu Zhaozhao's face turned red, and he looked at her with disgust: "Zhaozhao is still young, besides, my brother's wedding date is set for next year, how can I get married first." ”

Seeing this, Lin Jinwen knew that the emperor was afraid that he had not yet made a holy decree to give marriage, and she was a little relieved, Zhao Tian was not a good match, and Zhao Zhao married in the past, not only ruined the rest of her life, but also ruined the Xu family.

She smiled and said no more.

Xu Zhaozhao is a lively person, when he passed by the rouge shop in front of him, he had to stop and go around, Lin Jinwen was not in a hurry to go back, but also got out of the carriage with her.

The rouge shop here is connected to the ready-to-wear shop, which is very prosperous, and many young ladies come and go, and the sweet aroma of fat powder is filled everywhere.

Lin Jinwen remembered that there was a restaurant near her name, and she could go and sit for a while.

After Xu Zhaozhao finished picking out the fat powder, he went to pick out the clothes.

The shopkeeper was very clever, and when he saw that although the two of them were dressed lightly, the jade pendant hanging on their waists was worth a thousand taels, so he was extremely enthusiastic, and immediately brought the best dark green embroidered satin in the shop, and said with a smile: "Two young ladies, this is a new product in the small shop, and this is the only one in the whole capital." ”

Xu Zhaozhao was also thrifty in the Xu family, and when he heard this, he asked casually: "A lot of silver?" ”

The shopkeeper squinted and smiled: "Not much, fifty-eight taels and one horse." ”

"So expensive?" Xu Zhaozhao was speechless, usually her things were taken care of by her mother, but she asked the maids about their clothes, and the most expensive cost was only one tael of silver, and this piece of cloth cost fifty-eight taels.

The person sitting in the corner heard this voice and couldn't help but say sarcastically: "What are you doing here if you can't afford it?" The linen shop at the end of the alley costs ten cents a meter of cloth, which is just right for you. ”

Lin Jinwen looked towards the voice and saw a plump woman with a snow-white complexion and mediocre facial features, although her appearance was average, her makeup was charming, which added a bit of beauty.

Seeing that they did not speak, the woman turned her face away contemptuously and said to the shopkeeper, "Keep the cloth for me, I want it." ”

Xu Zhaozhao was also big-hearted, so he didn't care about her, and only asked the shopkeeper: "But there are other fabrics?" ”

The shopkeeper glanced at the two who were not shocked, and knew that they must be from a big family, so he quickly nodded and took two peach-colored ones: "Look at the little one, this pink color is just right for the age of the two young ladies......"

"Wrap it up for me, too." The charming girl continued.

Xu Zhaozhao sensed something, raised his hand and pointed to the most expensive row of cloth on the shelf: "Bring these to me to see......

"You can't afford to buy it, so why bother with the shopkeeper?" Seeing that they did not resist at all, the plump woman laughed more and more sarcastically.

"There's always cheap cloth here that I can afford, this young lady, either you can take all the cloth from this shop, or you leave me alone." Xu Zhaozhao finally couldn't help it.

The young lady's face froze, and a girl in Tsing Yi on one side immediately stood up and pointed at Xu Zhaozhao and said, "Do you know who my young lady is, you dare to talk to her like this?" ”

Xu Zhaozhao was not timid: "Which one?" ”

"My young lady is a young lady who has been newly transferred to the Beijing Military Department." The girl in Tsing Yi is very proud, the squire of the military department has real power, and he is also a second-grade Beijing official, when he was in his hometown, he was the governor of the Quartet, which one did not come to curry favor.

The plump girl was also a little proud.

Xu Zhaozhao was stunned, and quietly leaned over to Lin Jin's ear and said, "The young lady who is married to her brother seems to have heard her father say recently that she is about to be transferred to the capital to be promoted to the waiter, could it be her?" "She looked left and right, and her age was just right.

Lin Jinwen blinked, if this was the case, then they were afraid that it would be even more embarrassing if they knew Xu Zhaozhao's identity.

He only said: "It's not early, let's go find a place to rest first." ”

"Hmm." Xu Zhaozhao didn't want to be so embarrassed when he met his future sister-in-law for the first time, so he nodded and wanted to leave, but the plump woman didn't give up: "If you don't apologize, you want to leave?" Are people in a place like the capital so ignorant of the rules? She was also quite complacent, especially when she saw that they were silent.

When Xu Zhaozhao heard this, he pursed his lips and ignored her to leave, but the girl in Tsing Yi simply stepped forward and pulled Lin Jinwen, who seemed to be easy to bully, and said angrily: "My young lady is talking to you, what is your attitude!" ”

Mo Xue quickly stepped forward to open the person, but Lin Jinwen only shook her head slightly, gently brushed the maid's hand away, and then said, "Do you want to apologize?" ”

"Nature."

"Then please Miss go back to the house first, and we will come to apologize later." Lin Jinwen smiled lightly.

The plump girl looked at her and smiled like a peach blossom, secretly clenched her fists with jealousy, and snorted coldly: "There is no need to come to the door, apologize now." ”

Some people slowly gathered around, looking at the excitement here, and whispered, "Isn't this Miss Lin?" ”

"Yes, the future Princess Ning. But who's on the other side? ”

"I don't know, I haven't seen it."

……

The low voice of discussion fell into the ears of the plump woman, and she wrinkled her eyebrows slightly, Miss Lin? Princess Ning in the future?

She didn't believe it.

How could King Ning marry a woman who was good-looking but had an average family background? And that Miss Lin was going to visit in the afternoon, and I heard that she was just coming back from Changle Nunnery, so how could she be here?

"Apologies!" Seeing that she still didn't resist, the girl in Tsing Yi pinched her little bit of flesh with her hand, and pinched it violently, and the painful Lin Jinwen immediately frowned.

Seeing this, Xu Zhaozhao pushed the maid away: "Today is obviously your unreasonable trouble, why do you want us to apologize?" If you are not convinced, go to Xu's house to find me! ”

The girl in Tsing Yi saw that she was wearing a gray narrow-sleeved robe, although her face was good, she was dressed plainly like the daughter of a street vendor, and her anger rose up, and she stepped forward and pushed her with a red face: "We don't know what the Xu family is, dare to be disrespectful to our young lady, I think you are impatient!" ”

"Who lives impatiently?"

An indifferent male voice came from the second floor, everyone was stunned, and the plump woman hurriedly turned around, only then did she see a man in a black embroidered dark gold brocade robe slowly walking down, his phoenix eyes were cold, and his face was indifferent as if there was no trace of temperature, but he was still handsome like the god of the nine heavens.

He was slowly walking towards himself, his gaze falling on himself...... No, his gaze fell on the woman in white.

She endured the shyness on her face, and quickly stepped forward to stop him and saluted: "This son is ......"

"This is our Royal Highness King Ning." Gao Yu said lightly, looking at her eyes as if she was an idiot, and her eyebrows were slightly raised.

As soon as she heard that it was the dignified King Ning, she became more and more nervous and excited, and tried her best to squeeze the majesty on her chest, before she looked at him with silky eyes and said, "The courtier, Sun Wanwan, has seen His Royal Highness King Ning." ”

Zhao Huaiyan glanced at her indifferently, and his thin lips opened slightly: "Get out of the way." ”

"Huh?" She looked up in surprise, her own figure and appearance, all men have to be moved when they see it, especially at this time she also took the initiative to please, didn't he see it? She squeezed her chest again, deliberately brushed away the long hair between her ears, revealing her white neck with a slight sweat, and said, "Your Highness, did the courtiers just quarrel with you?" I really don't complain about the courtiers, it's these two Diao people, and I have to get along with the courtiers. ”

"Puff ......"

Xu Zhaozhao couldn't help laughing, she said that she and Sister Jin were Diao Min? She is afraid that she has never seen Diao Min like anything, but her father also said that the Sun family was just a local official back then, and she had to be promoted by her father everywhere to have a place in the officialdom, and she also suffered a lot of white eyes and grievances during the period, and now she finally climbed to the position of the squire of the military department, I am afraid that it has swelled.

As soon as she smiled, Sun Wanwan became more and more aggrieved, standing beside Zhao Huaiyan and said, "Your Highness, you see, the courtiers only followed their father into Beijing, and they didn't understand anything, so they mocked them like this......"

Zhao Huaiyan didn't bother to look at her, and without waiting for her to finish speaking, he took a few steps forward and walked up to Lin Jinwen and asked, "Did they hurt you?" ”

"Never." Lin Jinwen pursed her lips and smiled lightly, the Sun family and the Xu family are in-laws, and she can't refute Sun Wanwan's face.

"That's good. I have other business to attend to, and I will be by your side today. His tone was light, but the ice in his eyes had already turned into gentleness.

Lin Jinwen bowed slightly, and then he walked away.

Sun Wanwan was stunned and stood behind awkwardly.

Xu Zhaozhao was afraid that she would be embarrassed again, so he said, "Sister Jin, didn't you say to take me to rest, let's go." ”

The shopkeeper saw that this was really Lin Jinwen, and immediately asked someone to wrap several pieces of cloth and give them to her: "Miss Lin, it's a small one with eyes and no beads, don't mind." ”

As soon as he said this, Sun Wanwan was even more embarrassed.

Xu Zhaozhao was also not polite, he took the satin generously, and when he left, he glanced at Sun Wanwan, and said: "Miss Sun, places like the capital are full of dignitaries and nobles, you can go back quickly after you finish shopping, Daddy and brother will visit Sun's Mansion later." ”

Sun Wanwan was even more stunned: "You are a girl from the Xu family......"

"You can call me Zhao Zhao in the future." Xu Zhaozhao grinned, and then walked away.

Sun Wanwan's face was flushed and purple, looking at the mocking gazes of others, as if Fang Cai was jumping up and down and singing a one-man show.

"Miss......"

The maid called her, but she only turned her head and ran away with red eyes and mist.

As soon as she left, Zheng Ruyi, who had been watching the excitement in the crowd, lifted her cloak and looked at the direction of Sun Wanwan's departure, the corners of her mouth were cold.

Lin Jinwen took Xu Zhaozhao to the tavern not far from the silk shop, and did not say her identity, she only asked for a seat in the lobby, and pulled Mo Xue and Cai'er to sit down and make a table.

Xiao Erfang also heard about the excitement of that place, and saw that they were good-looking, so he didn't dare to wait slowly, so he only smiled and said, "What are you eating?" ”

"Let's bring all the signature dishes." Xu Zhaozhao said greedily.

Xiao Er hurriedly responded, and Lin Jinwen looked at the tavern full of guests with a smile, thinking that Zhu Wucai still had some ability.

After waiting for a while, the food had not yet come, but I heard a sudden commotion, and the pale man on the second floor ran down and shouted to the shopkeeper: "Is your food poisonous?" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned: "How can it be ......?"

"I don't believe you, my wife is now foaming at the mouth with convulsions, isn't it that your food is poisonous?" The woman retorted with round eyes.

"I'll ask the doctor to take a look at ...... first."

"I'm going to report to the police." The mother-in-law said again.

The shopkeeper's bitter face: "Don't report to the official, I have reported to the official three times this month, and our small shop is operating on a small basis, so I really can't afford to pay a fine for silver." ”

"Then you cure my wife first, and then pay 1,000 taels of silver, and forget it." The mother-in-law said again.

Cai'er on one side heard that something was wrong: "Her wife is sick, why don't you rush to ask for a doctor, but talk about the conditions here?" ”

The corners of Lin Jin's mouth were slightly hooked, and Xu Zhaozhao also narrowed his eyes and analyzed: "Eighty percent are here to cheat money, and three cases a month have not been found to be really poisonous, so it can be seen that there is no poison, they just want to blackmail money." ”

Lin Jinwen continued to watch the mother-in-law and the shopkeeper, and the mother-in-law said, "Do you know who my wife is?" My wife is the wife of the Liu family of six products and thousands of households, how can she blackmail your money? It's just a little bit of comfort. ”

"This ......" the shopkeeper gritted his teeth: "Then it's better to report to the official." ”

"You ......"

The mother-in-law's eyes widened, but Lin Jinwen felt that this shopkeeper was a little interesting, and this Mrs. Liu was really cheeky, a dignified Mrs. Liupin, actually doing these things.

She was about to get up to take a look, when she saw someone suddenly running out from the side, with a group of minions holding sticks behind her, and angrily reprimanded: "I think you are sincere in asking for money, what about Mrs. Liupin?" My young lady is still the future Princess Ning! Come on, get them out of here! ”

The shopkeeper hesitated: "This is not good, that lady may be really sick." ”

"What do you know? I'll let you be the shopkeeper, you're so indecisive, you get out of here now. Zhu Wucai looked at his mother-in-law arrogantly, ignoring the fact that the lobby was full of guests, and said arrogantly: "I advise you to get acquainted, my young lady is not easy to mess with......"

"Can King Ning use his power to bully others!" Someone in the lobby suddenly stood up and scolded: "I thought that King Ning was fair and honest, and he was a virtuous king, but now it seems that he is no more than Erer, and he is a businessman with a copper smell!" ”

These words angered Zhu Wucai, Zhu Wucai saw that he was dressed plainly, and glanced at the shopkeeper on one side: "Didn't I tell you that we don't accept such a poor sour person?" Don't get out yet! ”

"Go out, go out, I don't bother to come to a place like you!" As soon as he flicked his sleeve robe and turned around to leave, Lin Jinwen got up and said, "Son, slow down." ”

When Jiang Qingshu heard this voice, he was stunned, was she?

Lin Jinwen glanced at him, and then said to the people who were waiting to see the excitement: "This shop is under the hands of Miss Lin, and it has nothing to do with King Ning, it is because Miss Lin is not strict under her rule." ”

When Zhu Wucai saw her, his eyes shrank slightly, and he stepped forward in a few steps: "Miss......"

Lin Jinwen glanced at him coldly, and walked up to the mother-in-law: "I'm a doctor, take me to see your wife." ”

The mother-in-law saw Lin Jinwen, recognized her at a glance, nodded a little crampedly, and hurriedly led people upstairs, and Zhu Wucai and Jiang Qingshu also hurriedly followed.

"Madame, the doctor is here." The mother-in-law shouted outside before she could open the door, and when she heard the sound of a cup breaking inside, she hurriedly stepped forward and pushed the door open, and said to Lin Jinwen sideways: "Please." ”

Lin Jinwen glanced at her lightly, walked in, and happened to see the woman lying on the warm couch on one side convulsively, but her face was ruddy and her clothes were neat, where did she look like she had been sick? But now if she wants to say that she is pretending to be sick, outsiders will not believe it.

She stepped forward a few steps, took her pulse, and said, "Spasms have nothing to do with diet, but are stubborn physical diseases, and they have been sick for many years. ”

As soon as Mrs. Liu heard Lin Jinwen's voice, her heart beat violently, she had discovered her illness before, and she refused to help.

She didn't dare to open her eyes and continue to pull out, Lin Jinwen turned her back to the crowd outside the house and whispered to her: "If you still pretend to be sick, I will prick the acupoints with a golden needle, so that you will be sick now, and expose your ugliness in front of people!" ”

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she immediately stopped convulsing, but refused to open her eyes to look at her.

Lin Jinwen was not in a hurry, and glanced at her mother-in-law: "Mrs. Liu is fine now, you can take it back to serve well, such a stubborn disease, you have to ask a good doctor to take a look." ”

Seeing that Mrs. was no longer acting, the mother-in-law was embarrassed and speechless, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help the person up.

Mrs. Liu had to open her eyes to look at her, smiled awkwardly, and was about to leave, but Lin Jinwen smiled and said, "I heard that Mrs. Liu is going to marry Miss Zheng?" Congratulations. ”

When Mrs. Liu heard this, her back straightened a little, and she said loudly: "It is Mrs. Zheng who has to marry Miss Zheng to my son, and the wedding date has not yet been decided, but it is not far away." "Being able to marry Miss Yan of the Sanpin official family is a face-saving thing, although Zheng Lai is still in prison, but the crime is not serious, so there is no need to worry.

The corners of Lin Jin's mouth raised slightly, and she didn't say more, but everyone outside knew that Zheng Ruyi was about to marry a fool.

Some people sighed, others sighed that she was unlucky, but that was all.

When everyone left, Jiang Qingshu hesitated for a moment before entering the house and saluting her respectfully: "Fang is the grass people who are reckless." ”

"It is indeed reckless, and judging a person without knowing the whole thing." Lin Jinwen glanced at him, without the stimulation of his mother's illness and death, he didn't have so many perverse conspiracies, and he had less scheming.

Jiang Qing's writing blushed and should have been handed over.

Lin Jinwen didn't want to humiliate him, but just reminded him: "Look at the scholar's dress, I want to participate in the Spring Festival soon." If you are lucky enough to be able to pass the spring, you will enter the officialdom, and remember to say less about these words in the future. ”

Jiang Qingshu looked at her gratefully: "Thank you, Miss, for mentioning it." ”

Xu Zhaozhao came in from outside, pulled Lin Jinwen and said, "Sister Jin, the dishes are all ready, let's hurry up and go home after eating." ”

"Let someone pack it up and take it away." Lin Jin's wife said.

Xu Zhaozhao blinked and immediately asked people to do it.

Jiang Qingshu thought that she still had something to say to herself, but she didn't think that she directly crossed over to him and looked at Zhu Wucai, who was just menacing, and said indifferently: "Come to see me at Xu's house tonight, this restaurant will be managed by the shopkeeper for the time being, you don't have to interfere anymore." With that, he walked away.

Zhu Wucai responded with a limp, but he was unwilling in his heart, so he gritted his teeth, glanced at Lin Jinwen's back, and didn't say anything more.

When the people left, Jiang Qingshu reluctantly went downstairs, but Lin Jinwen had already taken the people on the carriage outside the building and left.

"Jin ......" He smacked these two words carefully, not only ashamed of Fang Cai's recklessness, but also more and more determined to be confident in high school and become a high-ranking figure.

At this time, after Mrs. Liu came back from the tavern, she kept holding her breath, thinking about it, and asked people to drive the carriage to Zheng's mansion.

Old Madam Zheng was still worried about Zheng Lai, and when she heard that she was coming, she immediately asked people to greet her.

When she arrived at the inner hall, Mrs. Liu looked at the layout of the Zheng Mansion, and felt that she couldn't look down on it, although it was a three-grade house, it was not as luxurious as the decoration in her home. She didn't go in to sit, but only pulled Mrs. Zheng and said, "I think about when to settle the relationship between Ruyi and my son, it's best to get married early, you know, there are not many good days in the second half of the year." ”

Old Madam Zheng was stunned: "Do you plan to ...... in the first half of this year?"

"Naturally, the sooner the better, but don't worry, I won't treat Ruyi badly, no, I'm going to take you to ask to see Mrs. Dingnanhou, and let General Zheng out as soon as possible." Mrs. Liu had a small calculation in her heart.

When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she nodded happily: "That's okay...... But ......" she hesitated: "I heard that Mrs. Dingnanhou has a good relationship with the Lin family, especially that Lin Jinwen, will she agree this time?" ”

"Don't worry......" She looked around, then stepped forward and whispered: "Lin Jinwen has a grudge with your family Ruyi, if you married Ruyi to Liu's mansion earlier, she will naturally not target you, right?" ”

"That's just as well." When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she hurriedly asked someone to take Zheng Ruyi's eight characters to Mrs. Liu: "Then we will hire tomorrow?" ”

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just get hired today, and the wedding date is set in ten days?" When Mrs. Liu thought of her son being greedy for Zheng Ruyi, she couldn't bear it.

Old Madam Zheng hesitated: "Will it be too casual, my Zheng family is also ...... anyway"

"The old lady can rest assured, when the time comes, the Liu family will definitely carry a sedan chair and beat gongs and drums to pick people up." Mrs. Liu hurriedly flattered: "Besides, isn't General Zheng going to marry a new wife, when the time comes, no one will remember this." ”

Mrs. Zheng was very excited, she was now confused, and she wanted to fish out her son, but when she heard it, she gritted her teeth and simply nodded. Zheng Ruyi's marriage was thus decided.

Mrs. Liu is not stupid, taking advantage of the gap between going to Dingnanhou with Mrs. Zheng, she immediately asked people to buy dozens of taels of silver candy and peanuts and melon seeds to distribute all over the capital.

Lin Jinwen had just returned to Xu's house, and Mo Feng quietly appeared behind her and told Mrs. Liu what she had done.

Lin Jin's wife: "Mrs. Liu has always been thoughtful and bold, you go and help her, it is best for the whole capital to know the news as soon as possible." ”

"Yes." Mo Feng answered, and quietly dodged away.

After entering the Xu Mansion, Xu Boshan and his son Xu Chengqing had already gone to Sun's house, and Mrs. Xu deliberately stayed in the mansion and waited.

Before entering the flower hall, Lin Jinwen saw the kind woman with tears in her eyes walking towards her, and her nose was slightly sour: "Uncle ......"

"Hey." Mrs. Xu was sad, stepped forward and took her hand with pity and choked up a little: "I can see you, Jin's wife, you have suffered." "Lin Jinwen often went back to her parents' house with Xu Huiniang when she was a child, at that time Mrs. Xu had only one son under her knees, and she was rare and bad, and she often held her in her arms and called her heart, and she was regarded as half a daughter.

Lin Jinwen didn't dare to provoke her to shed tears, so she hurriedly endured her grievances and smiled: "Uncle, Jinwen is not aggrieved." ”

"Don't be wronged, your father ......" She was annoyed, endured it again, and looked at her gently: "He is not here left and right, don't talk about him, you just came back from Changle Nunnery today, are you tired?" My aunt asked someone to prepare hot water for you, you go to wash up and rest first, and then your aunt will come to talk to you later. ”

Lin Jinwen looked at her bloodshot eyes, smiled and nodded, and then retreated.

When she left, she looked back and saw that Mrs. Xu was already holding Xu Zhaozhao and crying silently.

Lin Jinwen exhaled a long breath before stepping forward.

The courtyard prepared by Mrs. Xu was specially arranged according to the Luoxia Garden where Lin Jinwen lived before, except for some ornaments that were too late to buy, and even the color of the quilt was exactly the same.

Cai'er was full of emotion: "Fortunately, Mrs. Uncle feels sorry for Miss." ”

Lin Jinwen sat down on the warm couch on the side, sent all the people in the house away, and then slowly leaned on the side of the warm couch and breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Mo Xue and said, "Haven't you heard any news from the Lin family in the past few days?" ”

"After Lin Xiteng's funeral, Lin Duan seemed to resign from the court and recuperated at home, as for Lin Xiyu, I heard that he had secretly met Wang Huiyuan once." Moxue Road.

"Them?" Lin Jinwen lowered her eyes, Wang Huiyuan and she would not move, but Lin Xiyu and Lin Zisu could not stay any longer.

"Let the sixth child come to see me tonight, and ......" She looked at Mo Xue and said, "I remember that the Ye family is not dead yet?" "Last time Lin Xiyu stabbed her on the street, but it didn't hurt the vital point, Lin Xiyu was released, she should have been released.

"Not dead, but it seems to have been silent." When Mo Xue thought about it, she also felt a little strange.

Lin Jin's eyes were slightly cold: "The Ye family didn't know that Lin Zisu was still alive, and Lin Zisu didn't care about her." The Ye family hated me and Lin Xiyu, you find a chance to let her see Lin Xiyu again. ”

Mo Xue understood and immediately took the order to retreat.

Seeing this, Lin Jinwen let Cai'er go down to rest and go to the bath alone.

The hot water soaked her skin and made her feel relaxed. The bathtub was intimately sprinkled with flower petals, and the room was smoked with a good faint fragrance, she was too nervous these days, and she was so relaxed that she fell asleep unconsciously, and even when the window was opened, she didn't even know when the window was opened.

At this time, Wang Huiyuan, after learning that Lin Jinwen had successfully descended the mountain, went to see Wang Yushi and Mrs. Wang with a heavy heart and told him his thoughts.

Mrs. Wang was still protecting her daughter in the end, and was a little dissatisfied with his proposal: "Yuan'er, Ru Yan is your sister in the end, how can you push her into the fire pit." ”

Wang Yushi also felt that he was very strange during this time: "Although I am not at ease with the son of the Lin family, he is a talented person and infatuated with Ru Yan, but what you are talking about now Zeng Xuehai, regardless of whether he has a broken leg or not, he has already accepted several concubines in his family, and Ru Yan is afraid that he will be wronged if he marries in the past." ”

"Dad, isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? Although Zeng Xuehai broke his leg, he will definitely be on the list in the spring this year, his family is a century-old scholarly family, and Ru Yan is a talented woman, and more importantly, he likes Ru Yan wholeheartedly, and respects us very much, Ru Yan married in the past, where did he dare to be careless? Wang Huiyuan persuaded.

Mrs. Wang still disagreed, and only looked at him in disappointment: "Yuan'er, what's wrong with you lately, you used to feel the most sorry for Ru Yan." ”

Wang Huiyuan couldn't stand his mother's view of him like this, his lips twitched, and he didn't speak.

Wang Yushi saw the clue, and only said in a deep voice: "You go back first, we will consider Ru Yan's marriage, and the son of the Lin family, I think it's not bad, when these things in the Lin Mansion subside, you can consider it." After that, he directly let Wang Huiyuan leave.

Wang Huiyuan gritted his teeth slightly, did not dare to argue on his face, and his face sank when he left the study.

He thought about it for a while, but he still decided to use the trick that Zi Su said, if the raw rice was cooked and ripe, his father and mother would never refute it for the sake of Ru Yan's reputation.

After thinking about it, he walked towards Wang Ruyan's courtyard and found Yingtang who happened to come out of the room.

When Yingtang saw him, his face turned a little pale: "Gong...... Son. ”

"Go tell Ru Yan that Lin Jincheng will be waiting for her at the Fuxiang Inn tonight." He paused before gritting his teeth.

Ying Tang's hand trembled violently: "Childe, what do you want to do......"

Wang Huiyuan looked at her coldly: "If you want to go, you can go, don't talk so much nonsense!" If you can't do it, don't think about it for you and your family! ”

Yingtang's face was paler, but he could only nod.

Wang Hui saw that she should respond, so he stepped out.

He got into the carriage and rounded the winding alleys before finally stopping in front of a small, inconspicuous-looking mansion.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door, and then nervously straightened his clothes, and as soon as the courtyard door opened, a woman dressed in snow-white clothes appeared in front of him, looking at him with a smile: "Huiyuan, are they all arranged?" ”

"Hmm." Wang Huiyuan looked at her fairy-like face, although there were scars, but the flaws were not hidden.

The woman lowered her eyes shyly, stepped forward and took his hand, regardless of the presence of others, and slowly slid her other hand towards his hot eyes, her eyes were like silk: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, come in......"

Wang Huiyuan only felt that all the qi and blood rushed to the top of his head, and he no longer had any sense, so he picked her up horizontally and strode inside.

Around the corner, the sixth child watched all this and quietly turned to leave.
