The county lord's mansion given to Lin Qingwan by the emperor is in the innermost part of the inner city, relying on the imperial city, the mansions of Cui Lu's family are near here, and the eldest princess's mansion is also two streets away from here.

The location of the place is very good, it is the palace given to Lin Ying by the emperor that year, but Lin Zhi has always been reluctant to live, he resigned and followed his son back to Yangzhou after the mansion was directly handed over to the imperial court.

The emperor seemed to be very satisfied with this mansion, and kept it, and gave this mansion to her as the county lord when he gave Lin Qingwan the county lord's mansion.

But Lin Qingwan really didn't come once, just to not embarrass the emperor, she sent a few people over to manage it.

Most of the people who stayed in the house were sent by the palace, and they didn't have time to receive the news of Lin Qingwan's arrival in Beijing, until the team entered Beijing, and Lin An sent someone to inform them in advance.

After a hurried turn, he gathered everyone to line up at the door to greet him.

This house has not had a master for a long time, although there is a lot of money every month, but life is really difficult, now that the master is here, maybe there is a chance?

It's a pity that the room and the yard have not been cleaned up, otherwise the impression is better, everyone is slightly sorry, they should have cleaned the room routinely yesterday.

Because she went to Beijing suddenly, Lin Qingwan didn't ask for them, and after nodding slightly, she let people start to clean up the place where they lived.

Shang Mingjie was driven to Shang's house by Lin Qingwan when he entered the city, Shang Ping was in the capital, she didn't want to see Shang Ping the next day.

As for Zhou Tong, although he didn't like him, his father sent so many people to protect her, even if it was to repay Zhou Assassin's history, she couldn't throw people into the post house or inn, what if those assassins were really still staring at them?

So Lin Qingwan asked Zhou Tong to arrange a guest house, and even the guards of the Zhou family were also arranged to go in.

The county lord's mansion suddenly moved in so many people, and naturally there was a lot of movement, even if the neighbors were far away, the owner at home would soon know.

The old ladies and ladies of the Cui Lu family smiled after hearing this, "This Lord of Lin County has heard of his name for a long time, but he has never seen it, but this time he has a chance." ”

"I'm here to congratulate Your Majesty on his birthday, I heard that I also brought her niece Lin County Lord."

And the eldest princess, who was two streets away from here, didn't hear the news until the evening, she was slightly stunned and then smiled: "When Ruying came back last year, she also told me about this sister, and I regretted that I didn't know when I would see her, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." ”

She lowered her head and thought for a while: "Send someone to prepare some daily necessities to send, they suddenly go to Beijing, they may not be able to prepare completely, I, as an elder sister, naturally have to take care of one or two." ”

The subordinate went as commanded.

They were able to receive the news so quickly because they were close and well-informed, but Mrs. Xie knew because Lin Qingwan sent someone to inform her as soon as she entered Beijing.

Mrs. Xie was stunned, she had only received Lin Yubin's letter not long ago, and she was still hesitating to go back to Jiangnan to see Qingwan, why did she come?

Didn't you say that you were very sick?

Mama Yang, who was about to persuade Mrs. Xie to go back to Jiangnan, was also stunned, why did the young grandmother come to Beijing, and when she talked about the emperor's birthday last year, she also said that she would not enter Beijing to celebrate.

At this time, she didn't care that it would be exposed, and Mama Yang hurriedly whispered: "Madam, could it be that something happened to the Lin family, even if the young grandmother wants to enter Beijing, she will not be in such a hurry, and she will notify us when she enters Beijing." ”

Mrs. Xie was stunned and said: "Let people prepare some things for daily use, she suddenly arrived in Beijing, the things prepared by the county lord's mansion must not be enough, we will send them to her." ”

Yes, Qingwan has always paid great attention to safety and health, and in the past, she had to prepare well before taking Lin Yubin out, and people would also send it out in advance to prepare along the way.

The rooms to be booked, the things to buy, not to mention the people who will inform the destination in advance so that they can prepare in advance.

This time I was in too much of a hurry.

When Mrs. Xie hurriedly brought a batch of things over, Lin Qingwan had just sat down in the cleaned house.

She knew it would be like this, smiled helplessly, and went to greet her.

When Mrs. Xie saw her, she first asked anxiously, "But what happened?" ”

Seeing that although her face was tired, her face was still rosy, so she said in hindsight: "Didn't you say that she was seriously ill, why did you rush into Beijing?" ”

Originally, there was nothing to talk about in Hongzhou, but now she didn't want to mention it to Mrs. Xie, so she said: "It's okay, but I just want this opportunity to be rare, so I went to Beijing to celebrate my birthday." And I miss my mother, too. ”

Lin Qingwan changed the topic and asked, "Didn't you say that you have a child by your side?" Why don't you bring it to me? ”

Mrs. Xie glanced at Lin Qingwan and didn't speak, obviously a little angry.

Lin Qingwan sneered slightly, thought about it and explained, "Mother, you are here to congratulate me on my birthday and see you." ”

It meant that she didn't want Mrs. Xie to get involved in what she was doing.

Mrs. Xie's heart sank, she didn't even hide from her about the assassination of the Liao people and the Zhao family, what could be more confidential and important than these two things?

She glanced at Lin Qingwan, although her heart became heavier and heavier, her face was slightly warm, and she said: "It's just boring, just raising a child to relieve boredom, and it's not worth seeing him in your special way." ”

This breath was as simple as she had a kitten and a puppy, and even though she was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but sink in her heart.

Mrs. Xie saw the unbearability in Qingwan's eyes, and smiled slightly: "Okay, I'm tired enough today, you can rest quickly, I'll stay here tonight." ”

Lin Qingwan nodded, and did not persuade her to leave, but asked someone to arrange a room for her.

Mrs. Xie became happy and took the initiative to help her take care of the house.

Lin Qingwan didn't care about things at all, so when she arrived at the place, she handed over all the housework to Lin Yubin, and sat in the courtyard in a daze.

If it weren't for Mrs. Xie, she would probably be able to sit until dinner.

Even with Lin An's assistance, Lin Yubin is still a little busy, it is really that the county lord's mansion has not had an owner for too long, and he lacks everything.

And they came with so many people at once, and what they needed to add was not a star.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xie sent a lot of things, and it was enough to buy some more, plus the one sent by the eldest princess's mansion, she finally barely settled down before dark.

Mrs. Xie followed Lin Yubin for a while, and her depressed mood finally improved.

The kitchen urgently made an okay dinner, and Mrs. Xie saw that Lin Qingwan was still staying in the backyard room and didn't come out, so she couldn't help but ask Lin Yubin, "Yubin, does your aunt have anything on her mind?" ”

Lin Yubin also glanced at the backyard, shook his head and said, "My aunt has been weird for the past two days, and she won't say anything when I ask her anything." ”

"Then why are you in such a hurry to go to Beijing this time?"

Lin Yubin hesitated for a moment and said, "Cousin You went out to study and encountered danger, and disappeared with the three brothers of the Lu family. ”

Mrs. Xie was slightly surprised, Lin You knew that she was one of the children that Lin Qingwan chose to focus on cultivating from the Lin family.

She's seen it many times, and she's a nice kid.

"How did you go missing?"

Lin Yubin shook his head and didn't say anything about Hongzhou, since her aunt didn't mention her own reasons, she still didn't want to make trouble.

Although Mrs. Xie was even more confused, but in the end, she had a little bit in her heart, it seemed that it was still the Lin family's business, and she didn't know what Lin You's child was involved in, which made Lin Qingwan, who had always been a lot of courage, secretive.

After dinner, Lin Qingwan smiled and served Mrs. Xie to rest, and when she returned to her room, her smile slowly retracted.

The lighter Bai Mei and Bai Feng's movements became, and their expressions became more cautious.

Lin Qingwan rubbed her forehead and waved her hand, "You all go down." ”

Bai Mei and Bai Feng glanced at each other, responded softly, made the bed for Lin Qingwan and left carefully.

My aunt and grandmother have been in a bad mood lately, and they can feel it.

Lin Qingwan sat under the lamp, took out the letter she received three days ago from her arms, looked at it again and again, and finally put it on the lamp and lit it.

Seeing the letter paper burning out in the fire little by little, the fire in Lin Qingwan's eyes was extinguished little by little.

She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes were much more determined.

She pushed open the window and looked at the starry sky.

Lin Jiang in the sky also looked down at her quietly, and Bai Weng sighed on the side, "Miss Lin, did you choose Zhong Ruying?" ”

Lin Jiang was silent for a while and said: "If it succeeds, it can keep Yubin safe for thirty years." ”

What's more, there is Zhong Ruying's friendship in this, and if he were him, he would also take a risk.

Lin Qingwan got up early the next morning and asked Lin Yubin to prepare to enter the palace.

Lin Qingwan went to Beijing to meet for the first time, even if it was to show her attention to the heroes in the future, the sign handed over the day before should be seen today.

Sure enough, they had just finished their breakfast and someone came to the palace.

The leader was a steward eunuch of Kunning Palace, and the other party was very polite to Lin Qingwan, bent over and said: "Niangniang has long wanted to meet the county lord, and yesterday I received the county lord's sign, and I can't wait to summon it immediately, but I just thought that the county lord had only arrived in the capital, and he must be tired, so it was delayed until today." ”

Lin Qingwan also smiled politely: "I also wanted to go to Beijing to meet Your Majesty and Niangniang, but I didn't have the opportunity, and this time I took advantage of Your Majesty's Qianqiu to enter Beijing to meet you." ”

Both parties were very polite, and soon prepared to enter the palace, taking advantage of the gap between Lin Qingwan and Lin Yubin getting into the car, Lin An stuffed a purse for the father-in-law, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Liu, my master has entered the palace for the first time, please take care of one or two more." ”

Brother Liu pinched his purse, and the smile on his face was slightly deep, "Little brother, don't worry, the county lord is the righteous daughter of His Majesty and Niangniang, the two masters have long remembered her, and no one dares to slack off when she enters the palace." ”

Lin An breathed a sigh of relief and sent him to the car with a smile on his face.

This place is not far from the imperial palace, Lin Qingwan and the others only walked for more than a quarter of an hour before entering the imperial city, and walked for another two quarters of an hour to the gate of the inner palace.

Gonggong Liu got out of the car first and waited below, and when he saw the sedan chair parked at the gate of the palace, the smile on his face deepened, and he bowed his back and said: "Lord Lin, Lord Lin, let's change the sedan chair." ”

Lin Qingwan bowed slightly, and helped Lin Yubin's men get out of the car and change into a sedan chair.

Lin Yubin lowered his head slightly and followed behind Lin Qingwan, and after getting into the sedan chair, he couldn't help but look outside through the gap in the curtain, curious.

Lin Qingwan's mind was on the audience for a while, and she didn't pay attention to the scenery in the palace at all, anyway, she had seen a lot in her previous life.
