Lin Qingwan brought Shang Danzhu and Shang Danju to the Seeking Knowledge Garden to let them choose a husband, well, it should be said that the girls who will go to the Seeking Knowledge Garden to listen to the lectures are all rushing to pick a husband for themselves.

Why did Lin Qingwan think of connecting them with the students in the first place?

It is because after the opening of the Seeking Knowledge Garden, some girls ran to the Wenyuan to see it curiously, they did not dare to enter the Seeking Knowledge Garden, but they could play in the Wenyuan.

At that time, she needed Shang Danzhu and Shang Danju to live in the Lin Mansion, so she started to be a matchmaker.

Since she took the sisters into the Seeking Knowledge Garden, there have also been girls who have paid money to attend classes, although the atmosphere is now open, Lin Qingwan still arranged a lot of subordinates to watch in the Seeking Knowledge Garden, so as not to have bad things.

Fortunately, whether it is a male student who comes to study, a gentleman who teaches there, or a little girl who comes to see a talented person, they are very polite.

But it is not difficult to see who has moved his heart and who has moved his heart.

Therefore, Shang Danzhu got closer to Wei Yan, and the next person reported to Lin Qingwan.

She didn't intervene and let them communicate slowly, and a few days ago, the Wei family invited Mr. Yao to hint that Mrs. Shang had only met with the people of the Wei family, and whether she wanted to agree or not had to run in again.

However, in Lin Qingwan's opinion, this thing can be done most of the time, since she is leaving, the words she said before that she wants to be a matchmaker for them will not be counted.

So she suggested that the Shang family invite another matchmaker to set Shang Danzhu's family affairs first, as for Shang Danju, she didn't figure it out, so she was not in a hurry.

In the past, the two girls saw few men, except for the brothers in the family, who were those male students in the Lu family's school, but now they have gone to Wenyuan, there are so many opportunities, are you afraid that they will not find a good one?

Although Shang Danju did not let go, his attitude was indeed soft.

Old Madam Shang was persuaded by Lin Qingwan and Lin Yubin, and she was not so anxious now, so she smiled and nodded.

Lin Qingwan set off for Beijing early the next morning, but because of the tight schedule, she didn't tell others.

Shang Mingyuan rushed over to give it a ride.

Lin Qingwan glanced at Lin Yubin, raised her feet and got into the carriage with a hard heart, and ordered: "Go!" ”

Shang Mingjie also took one last look at Lin Yubin, and said to Shang Mingyuan: "Big brother, the family will leave you to please." ”

Shang Mingyuan nodded again and again, "Second brother, don't worry, I will take care of the old lady and cousin." ”

Shang Mingjie just got on the horse.

The group hurried to the capital, because the carriage was bumpy, Lin Qingwan took turns with the carriage and the horse, taking the carriage in the morning and evening, and riding the horse at noon.

Shang Mingjie and Yi Han rode horses all the way, day and night, and soon arrived in the capital.

At the same time, Jiangling's reply to her was also transferred from Suzhou to the capital.

Lin Qingwan couldn't take a break, went back to the county lord's mansion to freshen up, then took the letter and got into the car, and said tiredly: "Let people go to the palace to hand over the sign, let's go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion first." ”

In the car, Lin Qingwan opened Zhong Ruying's letter, this time it was not an urgent letter sent by a pigeon, so she wrote in detail.

Zhong Ruying sent troops to Chu, but she also restrained herself, and the situation was still under control, Lin Qingwan was deeply relieved after seeing the strength of her troops in the letter and the response of Chu.

Zhong Ruying will send troops because the envoys of Shu came to the alliance and said that they could attack Chu together with Daliang.

Zhong Ruying is not a fool, of course, she doesn't believe what they say, so she reports to Emperor Liang while delaying.

and asked the Shu envoy, since it was an alliance between the two countries, why didn't he go to Liangdu, but came to Hongzhou to find her.

The Shu envoy said that because Liang had signed a peace treaty with Chu, he was afraid that Liang would capture him and hand him over to Chu, so he did not go.

But it's different in Hongzhou, this is the border, and he still has a chance to go.

The Shu envoy knew about Zhong Ruying's grievances with the Chu State, so he seized this point and tried his best to tempt him.

Zhong Ruying naturally knew that the Shu envoy was deliberately seducing her, but she was moved.

In the letter, she wrote: "No matter what Shu's plans are, judging from the current situation alone, it is in our best interest to form an alliance with Shu, and this risk is worth taking." ”

"Today's Central Plains, only the state of Chu can fight with Liang, for the unification of the world, one day the two countries will face each other, when the chess meets the opponent, Liang is to win, and the loss will not be small, and the Liao country is eyeing the tiger, and there are Xishu and Fujian on the side, just by us to destroy the Chu country, do you know that it is not for others to make wedding clothes?"

Lin Qingwan frowned slightly, her fingers couldn't help but move, and she continued to read the letter, "And if Shu is willing to participate in the war, Da Liang can hold the battle, as long as Xu Lian and Su Zhang can hold the country, I, Lin Xin, and Lu Zhen will be able to harvest the Chu State with Shu to the west." At that time, even if the Liang State suffered serious losses, the Shu State would not retreat with its whole body, at least one less strong enemy. ”

"Sister Wan, I know what you are worried about, all of you want to deal with it safely, but the state of Chu is growing stronger day by day, and the state of Shu is also working hard after the new emperor ascends the throne, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable the situation will be with me." Zhong Ruying said: "I want to avenge my late husband, but I won't get carried away, the two countries are at war, and casualties are inevitable." As a soldier, there are many people who have died in my Great Liang, and many people have died in front of the battle, if I always think of this murderous hatred, I don't know how many people hate me to death, and I am only afraid that I can torture myself crazy. ”

"Compared to the Chu State, I hate the second prince who was imprisoned more, and I hate this chaotic world even more, if there is no war, my father and husband will not die, my Zhong family will not be cut off from children and grandchildren, and my comrades will not leave me one by one."

"I know that this move is risky, and if I am not careful, the Great Liang will destroy the country, and I will also become this sinner for the ages, but," Zhong Ruying said: "It is much better to fight at this time than to wait for Chu and Shu to grow stronger, at least now there is more hope." ”

She sighed and said, "Da Liang is too strong now, slightly better than Chu State, so now all countries will stare at Da Liang." This time, the Shu State chose to attack the Chu State, and it was also an opportunity to gamble. Otherwise, Liang Chu made peace talks, and joined forces to destroy the Southern Han and Jiangling, who knew that the next one would not be him? ”

"Since they are confused and uneasy, and they are willing to send troops to Chu, why don't we take advantage of the situation? I knew it was a risky move, but the opportunity was rare, so I had to cut it first. Zhong Ruying said at the end of the letter: "I hope you will protect me, and try my best to promote this move, if it succeeds, I don't hope to take credit, if it fails, I will bear the sin of losing the country." ”

Lin Qingwan's face was blue and pale, and she was speechless when she pinched the letter.

"Auntie, the Fourth Prince's Mansion has arrived."

Yi Han screamed, seeing that there was no movement in the car, he couldn't help but glance at Shang Mingjie, Shang Mingjie got off the horse and took two steps forward and said: "Auntie, the Fourth Prince's Mansion has arrived, do you want someone to call the door?" ”

Lin Qingwan came back to her senses, wiped the tears from her face, and answered in a low voice.

Hearing that her voice was wrong, Yi Han frowned slightly, took out the post and respectfully handed it to Shang Mingjie, "Uncle." ”

Shang Mingjie didn't think much about it, took the post and took someone to knock on the door.

Yi Han opened the curtain and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Qingwan being folded.

Lin Qingwan smiled at him soothingly and put the letter away.

This time, because they were in too much of a hurry to go to Beijing, Bai Feng and the other girls did not go together, they walked behind, and it was estimated that it would take several days to arrive.

So there was only Lin Qingwan in the car.

Seeing that her eyes were slightly red, Yi Han lowered the curtain and stood aside silently.

The housekeeper of the Fourth Prince's Mansion quickly greeted the door, "See His Royal Highness the County Lord." ”

Lin Qingwan had already collected her emotions, lifted the curtain and asked, "Is Your Royal Highness at home?" ”

"The Fourth Highness is in the palace," the butler said respectfully: "If Your Highness is in a hurry, the small one will be called in and called someone." ”

Lin Qingwan shook her head and said, "No need, I'll go into the palace." ”

After that, he said to Shang Mingjie: "You take someone home first, and I will go into the palace to meet Your Majesty." ”

Shang Mingjie answered, stepped aside, and the carriage quickly turned and headed towards the palace.

As soon as the carriage left, the four princesses came out, and when they saw Shang Mingjie, who had not yet left, they asked in surprise, "Where is Lord Lin?" ”

Shang Mingjie hurriedly saluted and said: "My aunt went to the palace, and she also asked the kid to ask the mother to say goodbye, but I didn't expect the mother to come out first, and the labor mother was gone." ”

The fourth princess couldn't help but smile when she looked at him, "I remember you, you are her nephew, oh, it should be her niece and son-in-law now." In this way, you should follow the county lord of Lin County and call me uncle. ”

Shang Mingjie's face was slightly red, how dare he call her that.

The fourth princess couldn't help but smile, but no longer teased him, waved her hand and said, "I know that you are very tired from working in Beijing just now, so go back and rest first, and I will invite you to come to the door when I have time." ”

Shang Mingjie answered, bowed and retreated.

"Niangniang, why didn't the county lord leave without waiting for anyone?"

The fourth princess glanced at the girl beside her and said, "How can you ask about the major affairs of the court?" ”

The girl was startled, bowed back and took a step back.

The fourth princess silently glanced at the direction of the palace, but she knew that her husband valued Lin Qingwan very much, and his reliance on her was no less than Zhong Ruying.

Lin Qingwan entered Beijing without warning, and the four princes have stayed in the palace since two days ago and have not returned home, it seems that something big has happened in the court.

And Lin Qingwan, who was far away in Suzhou, was only afraid that she would know earlier than the fourth prince, otherwise she would not have arrived in the capital at this time.

When Lin Qingwan arrived at the gate of the palace, not long after the sign was handed in, the subordinate who came first bowed forward and said, "Grandma, it's been more than a quarter of an hour since the sign went in." ”

Lin Qingwan bowed her head, it would take at least two quarters of an hour to report, and according to the convention, she handed over the sign today, and she could only see it tomorrow.

However, she touched the letter on her chest, and she didn't know what the situation was in the northeast, and she was going to go in anyway today.

This time the speed was unexpectedly fast, and in less than two quarters of an hour, a chamberlain trotted out with someone, "Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty has announced that you have entered the palace to meet you." ”

Lin Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly checked the cards and entered the palace.

The chamberlain asked someone to carry a sedan chair, bowed down and said, "Your Highness has been wronged, Your Majesty is in a hurry, so we have to hurry." ”

It's really rushing, the attendants trotted up with the sedan chair, but fortunately, the sedan chair was quite stable, although it was a little shaky, but it was not staggering.
