The carriage stopped in front of Lin Qingwan and Cui Ling, the curtain was opened, and it was Cui Jing who jumped down first.

Lin Qingwan raised her eyebrows, glanced at Cui Ling, Cui Ling's face remained unchanged, and she smiled at her.

Lin Qingwan couldn't help but pick her lips, looking at Cui Jie, who was respectfully helped down by Cui Jing, today he tied a white cloth around his waist, she glanced back at the coffin in the carriage, and said softly to Cui Jie: "This trip is far away, I hope Master Cui cherishes it." ”

Lin Qingwan turned around and took a pot of tea from Bai Feng's hand, poured him a cup and said, "It's not appropriate to drink alcohol at this time, so I will replace wine with tea, and I wish you all a smooth journey." ”

Cui Jie took it and glanced at the only outsider who came to see him off, Lin Qingwan, Zhou Tingshi and the others had never come, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in the final analysis, it was because he had no power and no power, except for Henan Mansion and Qinghe, who still put him in his eyes?

He clenched the teacup, raised his head and drank the tea, clenched his fists and said: "Lord Lin, I have been taken care of by the county lord for many days, but in the future, if I have a request, Cui will definitely do his best." ”

This is to cooperate with her, Lin Qingwan smiled slightly, raised the tea with both hands and drank it as if it were wine.

Cui Ling, who was standing next to him, was full of complexity, and looked at Lin Qingwan silently.

He couldn't quite understand Lin Qingwan, she obviously hated Cui Liang so much, so she didn't hesitate to risk being the enemy of the entire Cui clan to kill him.

But he can be so calm in the face of Cui Jie, as far as he knows, it was the second uncle who helped Cui Liang clean up the traces at the beginning.

So isn't she angry at all?

Lin Qingwan said goodbye to Cui Jie with a smile, and Cui Jie also told Cui Ling a few words, saying, "Since your brothers and sisters are all here, I won't force you to go back with me." The opportunity is rare, as a Liang person, you must entertain them well. ”

Cui Ling knew that he didn't want him to return to the clan, and it happened that he and his eldest brother felt that it was safer for him to stay in Suzhou at this time, so they responded with a smile.

Lin Qingwan and Cui Jie both stopped here, but Cui Jing was diligent to send Cui Jie to the Ten Mile Long Pavilion.

The convoy moved forward slowly, and Lin Qingwan raised her eyes to look at a carriage that happened to pass by in front of her, just as the breeze was blowing lightly, and the curtains were lifted slightly, revealing the wooden Wuyang inside.

The other party was sitting in front of Lin Qingwan, and when he saw Lin Qingwan's cold gaze, his eyes widened slightly, and his heart couldn't help palpitating.

He immediately hugged his head uncomfortably, and his little servant was in a hurry, and hugged him with red eyes and said, "Young master, do you have a headache again?" You didn't sleep all night last night, and now it's daytime, so let's sleep for a while. ”

Wuyang shook his head, and muttered with a pale face: "It's not me who hurt Cui Liang, it's not me, it's all retribution, it's retribution." ”

The little guy almost burst into tears, hugged him and gritted his teeth and whispered: "I know it wasn't the young master who did it, Master Cui wants to frame you, don't listen to him, when he returns to Henan Mansion, he won't be able to force you like this now, the master will call the shots for you." ”

Cui Ling also saw Wuyang, and couldn't help frowning, "He Xiu and the others haven't gone back, why is Wuyang leaving?" ”

And it doesn't look normal.

He couldn't help but look at Lin Qingwan.

Lin Qingwan smiled shallowly: "Don't look at me, this is not my handiwork, it was your good uncle who suspected him of harming people, so he forced him back and forth, which made people like this." ”

Cui Ling said: "In other words, he has received it on behalf of the county lord?" ”

"If they have no ghosts in their hearts, how can one of them fall into their mouths, and the other of them press forward step by step without evidence?" Lin Qingwan said viciously: "It's just a dog eating a dog." ”

Cui Ling's face flushed, Cui Jie is a dog, so what is he?

Thinking of what the eldest brother said in the letter, Wuyang was also involved, he couldn't help but sigh, Lin Qingwan didn't let it go.

However, "I think the county lord is very enthusiastic about my second uncle." ”

"No way, who made the Cui family powerful, and I'm just a widow." Lin Qingwan laughed at herself, "I have to be enthusiastic." ”

"No matter how powerful the Cui family is, don't you also kill you?" Cui Ling looked at her sideways.

"Some resentment can be endured, but some hatred can't be ignored," Lin Qingwan said: "Look, don't I have a good conversation with Mr. Cui now, and the cooperation is pleasant?" ”

Cui Ling coughed lightly and turned his head.

Lin Qingwan turned around to look at the convoy that was gradually moving away, and said softly: "Cui Jing is so enthusiastic, Mr. Cui is very cold, in terms of closeness, he is not as close as you are in the second room and the fourth room." ”

Cui Ling said indifferently: "The second uncle is sparse and generous, and he won't care if I don't send it far away." ”

The eldest brother didn't allow him to get too close to the second uncle, so as not to be dangerous, and if he was really sent to the Ten Mile Long Pavilion, the danger would increase, and the key was that Lin Qingwan didn't go yet.

Lin Qingwan smiled sarcastically, if Cui Jie is sparse and generous, then I am afraid that there will be few people with small stomachs in this world.

Lin Qingwan turned around and got into the car, thought about it and lifted the curtain and asked, "Does Mr. Cui want to go to my house to sit?" ”

Cui Ling thought for a while and arched his hand: "But it's disrespectful." ”

Lin Qingwan smiled slightly, lowered the curtain, and Cui Ling followed on horseback.

"The weather is good today, let's go to the mountains and talk about it?"

Cui Ling followed Lin Qingwan to look at the mountain, and said with a smile: "I heard that Lin Gong built this courtyard for the cold spring on the mountain back then, and he has always wanted to see and learn. ”

Lin Qingwan didn't go into the house anymore, asked people to go back to get the chessboard and some refreshments, turned around and went up the mountain with Cui Ling.

The two of them walked to the spring to draw water, carried a pot of water, and went straight to the pavilion at the top of the mountain.

There was a plum blossom blooming on one side of the pavilion, Cui Ling couldn't help but pause, nodded the plum blossom and said: "This plum blossom is better than ten million in Wenyuan." ”

Lin Qingwan couldn't help laughing, "Aren't you afraid of breaking my heart if you say this in front of me, the master of Wenyuan?" ”

"Isn't this mountain, this plum also the county lord's?"

Bai Feng took the mat and put it on the stone bench, and the two of them sat down, and the next person had already taken the chessboard and the tea stove and waited up.

Lin Qingwan waved them down and picked up charcoal to make a fire.

When Cui Ling saw it, he rolled up his sleeves to help, and the two of them burned the stove, and then boiled water to make tea, while Cui Ling opened the chessboard and set up the chess pieces.

He looked condescendingly at the farm under the mountain, and saw that there were already people working in the field, and everywhere he saw were Qianmo farmers, there was no war here, and there was no sorrow that he had seen all the way through, even if it was far away, he could feel the joy of the people in the field, and saw if they were straightening up to speak, and the wind blew, which seemed to bring their laughter.

Cui Ling couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief from his chest and abdomen.

"If you climb high, your mind will become wider and wider, and the ancients will not deceive me." Especially when you see this beautiful scenery.

Lin Qingwan smiled slightly, poured out the boiling water to make tea, poured out the first cup of tea, and gave the first cup of tea to Cui Ling during the second brew.

Not to mention, the fragrance of plums lingers all over the body, the breeze blows, drinking hot tea, and then looking into the distance, the chest is open.

The corners of Cui Ling's mouth curled slightly, and his mood became more and more happy.

Lin Qingwan smiled slightly when she saw it: "Mr. Cui doesn't feel depressed?" ”

Cui Ling turned around, put down the teacup and said, "Lord Lin is not angry with me anymore?" ”

"My revenge is about to be avenged, and my heart is settled, how can I still be angry with you?" Lin Qingwan poured him another cup of tea, raised her glass and said, "This cup is an apology to Mr. Cui, the matter of the late husband has nothing to do with you, but I am angry with you, I am really sorry." ”

Cui Ling smiled slightly, raised the teacup and took a sip, which was regarded as accepting her apology, "This is human nature, and Cui is not immune, so naturally he will not criticize the county lord." ”

Lin Qingwan poured another cup and continued: "This cup is Mr. Xie Cui's, Mr. Xie Cui raised his noble hand. ”

Cui Ling looked up at her, and the two looked at each other for a long time before they raised their teacups and chuckled, "No need, that's not for the county lord." ”

Lin Qingwan just smiled and drank the tea before saying, "Good tea can't be so bad, we have to taste it carefully." ”

Cui Ling smiled slightly, it was considered a play, he pushed the white chess to Lin Qingwan, "Lord Lin first, please." ”

Lin Qingwan didn't shirk, twisted a chess piece and fell, followed by Cui Ling.

Cui Ling's chess skills were not as good as Lin Qingwan's, and he knew that he was going to lose after only half of the game, but he did not give up because of this, but became more cautious.

Lin Qingwan admired his chess style very much, when she played chess with Lu Rui, once that kid felt that he had lost, he directly gave up resistance, not only did not defend it, but also directly gave her all kinds of points, so Lin Qingwan refused to play chess with him again.

The two sat on the top of the mountain for two hours, played two games of chess, and finally broke two plum blossoms and went down.

Cui Ling was in a good mood, holding the plum blossoms he cut and said: "Thank you for the flowers, and thank you for the guidance, if you have the opportunity next time, I will come to ask the county lord for chess skills." ”

"Welcome." Lin Qingwan paused and said: "If Mr. Cui stays in Suzhou, it is best to live in the Lin Mansion, as long as you live there for a day, no one will dare to touch you in Suzhou." ”

Cui Ling smiled slightly, and bowed to Lin Qingwan to thank him.

Back at the Lin Mansion Courtyard, Cui Ling told his little servant Erbadao: "Don't worry about the Cui family's courtyard, the second uncle has given me the money to buy the courtyard, and you don't have much contact with the people over there." ”

Twenty-eight responded and said in a low voice: "Second master, should we move out to live, it's not a way for the guards sent by the uncle to always live outside." ”

Cui Ling thought for a while, shook his head and said, "If you talk about safety, what other place in Suzhou can compare to the Lin Mansion?" I'll talk to Lord Lin when I get back, and let them all move in. ”

Erba breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It would naturally be better if they could live in the Lin Mansion." ”

As soon as Young Master Liang died, the balance that the Cui family had been shaky was broken, and now the second master of their family is also one of the strong contenders for the heir of the Cui family, and he is not afraid of 10,000 in case, so it is better to be careful.

Cui Ling knew that the reason why Lin Qingwan would say such a word was obviously expected to be the situation within their Cui clan.

He couldn't help sighing, his heart was complicated, infighting was not a good thing after all, and he didn't want outsiders to see the jokes.

can look at the scene of seeing off outside the city today, it is obviously not only Lin Qingwan who expected this situation.

After all, the Cui family is a family, and Cui Jie is the second master of the concubine, it is said that when he leaves, not only the Lin family, the Shang family, the Qian family and other local squires should send someone to send it.

The Lu family didn't go because the Lu family had always been arrogant, and Lu Su and the second uncle had some contradictions when they were young, and Zhou Tingshi didn't come because he was an official of the Jiangnan faction, and even an official of the Lin family, so it was not easy to get too close to the Cui family.

But the Shang family and the Qian family didn't come, obviously because they didn't want the Cui family to misunderstand and make people think that they were standing on the side of the second room.

As for Lin Qingwan, Cui Ling smiled helplessly, even if he was standing beside her, he had never figured out what she was thinking in her heart.

But no matter what she thinks, the second room and their fourth room, obviously their fourth room is more closely related to her.

What's more, she still has that kind of hatred with the second room.

Although they have never said that they have cooperated, they have cooperated many times, and Cui Ling thinks that there may be more such opportunities in the future. ...
