Nong Hua Makeup

Chapter 67 The Most Selfish Person
As the night fell slightly, the chirping of insects on the mountain was undulating, covering the sound of slight movements outside the house.

Standing outside the house, the man in gray clothes saw that the doors and windows of the room not far away were locked. He took out a bamboo tube from his sleeve, opened the cover, and carefully released the contents. Then he picked up the bone flute beside him and played it. On the edge of his mouth, he began to blow out a weird tune.

The tune is slow, and the bugs crawling on the ground are not in a hurry.

In the room, Lin Jinhua and Mo Xue looked at each other, Mo Xue nodded slightly, and raised the pottery urn covered with salt in her hand, signaling that everything was ready.

Cai'er sat on the beam, trembling slightly, saw Lin Jinhua and Mo Xue's composure on one side, gritted her teeth, and only stared at the tables, stools and firewood piled up from the ground to the position near the beam, not daring to come out. Voice.

When Lin Jinhua heard the bone flute, she could feel the jade butterfly in her arms start to heat up again.

At this moment, the bell hanging behind the door made a slight sound, and they knew that what they were waiting for had arrived.

The few people whose eyes have long been used to the darkness could barely see four or five palm-length but slippery Gu worms crawling out from the salt-covered ground. A table without salt on one side.There was popularity on the table, so they climbed up faster and faster until they reached the top. Mo Xue quickly put them into the pottery urn and sealed it with the lid.

"Miss..." She looked at Lin Jinhua in a deep voice.

Lin Jinhua took out the jade butterfly in her arms and approached the Gu insects. The Gu insects suddenly quieted down, as if they were afraid and surrendered.

The corners of Lin Jinhua's mouth curled up, and she looked towards the continuous sound of the flute outside the house: "Wait for him to come in."

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

Not long after, the sound of the flute became urgent, as if urging, but the man in gray couldn't hear the slightest 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 quickly walked in quietly.

After entering the room, they found salt all over the floor and a high table piled in the middle. Before they could be surprised, the door behind them was suddenly closed, and then a black shadow rushed behind them, and a juice filled with the smell of medicinal materials They covered their mouths and noses, even though they were strong in martial arts, they only struggled a little before their limbs went limp and they passed out directly.

The gray-clothed man outside saw that the attendant had gone in and there was no news. He knew that he had probably been exposed, so he turned around and left without caring about the Gu worms.

Mo Xue stuck to the door to see him leave, and then said to Lin Jinhua, "Miss, I'm gone."

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

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

Lin Jinhua then looked at the attendants who had passed out on the ground, and glanced at Cai'er: "Bring the rope."

In other places in the nunnery at the moment, Zhao Kan looked at the man in gray with some sarcasm: "Didn't you say that no one can escape your Gu, why did you miss today?"

"I don't know, but it should be absolutely safe, and the attendants didn't move after they went in. They must have been prepared." The gray-clothed man said.

Zhao Kan's eyes turned cold, and he only stared at him: "How could they have been prepared? Could it be possible to know that this king is coming to harm her today? Could it be that someone around me leaked the news."

Seeing him staring at him wholeheartedly, the man in gray quickly knelt down; "My lord Mingjian, although I came from southern Xinjiang, I sincerely go to my lord."

"It's best if you have this kind of loyalty. It's not suitable to stay on the mountain for a long time, so go down the mountain." After finishing speaking, he left directly.

The man in gray followed behind, with a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face, but he followed after all.

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 something was wrong, he seemed to feel that the Gu worm from before was here.

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

The gray-clothed man remembered his doubts about him just now, and was 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 if you have nothing to do." Zhao Kan glanced at him indifferently, then put down the curtain and let someone drive the carriage away.

Sitting and sitting, he always felt that something was wrong, as if something was wriggling under his body, he frowned slightly, and when he stood up, a mass of black things quickly got in from his sleeve, as if biting his crotch. The skin and flesh have to get into it.

"Stop!" He yelled, and someone outside immediately stopped the carriage. The man in gray didn't notice it, so he hurriedly got off his horse and came over: "My lord, what's wrong?"

Zhao Kan lifted up his sleeves, and saw four or five black Gu worms burrowing into his skin. The scene was very strange and terrifying.

Everyone was startled, Zhao Kan looked at the man in gray coldly: "Is this your Gu worm?"

The man in gray came back to his senses, and immediately played the bone flute. Accompanied by the strange sound of the flute, the Gu worms began to twist their bodies and crawl out. Zhao Kan's face turned blue from the pain. He stomped to death without saying a word, and the man in gray didn't even have time to speak.

"My lord..." he shouted.

"What's wrong? I feel sorry for how many bugs I trampled to death on you?"

"No." 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. You must take them as medicine to detoxify."

Zhao Kan frowned: "Is there no other way?"

"I refine each Gu worm with a different poison. There is no other way." The man in gray shook his head. He got on his horse and rode away.

In the distance, Mo Xue stared at him to leave, then turned her head up the mountain, and told Lin Jinhua about the situation here.

Lin Jinhua had already guessed that it was Zhao Kan, but in his previous life, he had no contact with people from southern Xinjiang. What happened in this life?

She couldn't figure it out, raised the jade butterfly in her hand and looked at it, her heart sank slightly, she always felt that 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 and didn't figure it out until it was dark the next day, so she got up and prepared to go down the mountain.

When going down the mountain to see him off, the person who came was not Jing En, but another aunt. Lin Jinhua knew that there were serious disputes on the mountain, so she didn't care about it, so she went down the mountain and returned to Beijing.

Xu Zhaozhao had been waiting at the gate of the city early, and when he saw her carriage approaching, he immediately went up to meet her.

"Sister Jinhua!" She shouted after riding her bay red filly beside the carriage.

Lin Jinhua lifted the curtain of the car, saw that she was looking good, she was a little surprised, and said with a smile, "Zhao Zhao, why are you here?"

"I'll pick you up to my house. My mother and brother are back and are about to meet you." Xu Zhaozhao said with a smile.

Lin Jinhua smiled, remembering what the emperor said before that he would give Zhao Zhao to Zhao Qing, and asked, "Uncle, the official has returned to his post?"

Xu Zhaozhao shook his head: "The Emperor wants Daddy to be reinstated as an official, but Daddy refuses, so he asked to go to the Guozijian to serve as a sacrificial wine."

"Sacrificial wine?" The corners of Lin Jinhua's mouth raised, "For a man like uncle who is full of knowledge, it is the most suitable to do this sacrificial wine." Most of the Imperial College is where the noble children and the best poor students study, and Jijiu is also the director of the Imperial College , can be learned without being interfered by the court. The most important thing is that most of the officials in Chunwei come from Guozijian every year.

She paused, then looked at Xu Zhaozhao: "Did the emperor say something else? For example, give you a marriage?"

Xu Zhaozhao blushed and looked at her reproachfully: "Zhaozhao is still young, besides, my brother's wedding is scheduled for next year, so there is no reason for me to get married first."

Seeing this, Lin Jinhua felt a little relieved knowing that the emperor might not have given the imperial decree to bestow marriage. Zhao Qing was not a good match, and if Zhao Zhao married, not only would she ruin the rest of her life, but it would also ruin the Xu family.

She smiled and said no more.

Xu Zhaozhao, on the other hand, was a lively character. When passing by the rouge shop in front, he insisted on stopping to look around. Lin Jinhua was not in a hurry to go back, but got out of the carriage with her.

The rouge shop here is connected with the ready-to-wear shop, which is very prosperous, many young ladies pass by, and the sweet aroma of powder is permeating everywhere.

Lin Jinhua remembered that there happened to be a restaurant near here under her name, and she could go to it later.

After Xu Zhaozhao finished picking out makeup, he went to pick out clothes.

The shopkeeper was very clever. Seeing that although the two were dressed plainly, the jade pendant hanging around their waists was worth a thousand taels, so he became more enthusiastic and immediately took the best dark green satin embroidered with flowers in the shop. Come on, and said with a smile: "You two young ladies, this is a new product that is only available in a small shop, and it is the only one in the whole capital."

Xu Zhaozhao was also frugal in the Xu family, and upon hearing this, he asked casually, "A lot of money?"

The shopkeeper squinted and smiled: "Not many, 58 taels a horse."

"So expensive?" Xu Zhaozhao was stunned, usually her mother took care of her things, but she asked about the clothes of the maids, the most expensive one was only one tael of silver, a piece of cloth cost 58 taels.

When the people sitting in the corner heard this voice, they couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Why do you come here if you can't afford it? The sackcloth shop at the end of the alley sells ten cents a meter of cloth, which is just right for you."

Lin Jinhua looked towards the voice, and saw a plump woman with fair complexion and ordinary features. Although her appearance was ordinary, her makeup was charming, which added a bit of beauty.

Seeing that they were silent, 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 and didn't care about her. He just asked the shopkeeper, "Do you have other fabrics?"

The shopkeeper glanced at the calm two people, and knew that they must be from a wealthy family, so he nodded courteously and brought two more peach-colored horses: "I see that the pink color is suitable for the age of the two young ladies..."

"Leave it to me too." The charming girl continued.

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

"You can't afford it even after seeing it, so why bother the shopkeeper?" Seeing that they didn't resist at all, the plump woman smiled sarcastically.

"There are always cheap cloths that I can afford. My lady, you can either wrap up all the cloths in this shop, or leave me alone." Xu Zhaozhao finally couldn't help it.

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

Xu Zhaozhao was not timid either: "Who is that?"

"My lady is the one who was newly transferred to the family of the Minister of the Ministry of War." The girl in Tsing Yi is very proud. The Minister of the Ministry of War has real power, and she is also a second-rank Beijing official. When she was in her hometown, she was the governor of the four directions. Who would not come? Ingratiate yourself.

The plump girl was also somewhat proud.

Xu Zhaozhao was stunned, and quietly leaned into Lin Jinhua's ear and said, "The young lady who is engaged to my brother seems to have heard from her father recently that she is about to be transferred to the capital to be promoted to be a servant. Could it be her?" She looked left and right, her age Just right.

Lin Jinhua blinked, if that was the case, it would be even more embarrassing for them to know Xu Zhaozhao's identity.

He just said: "It's getting late, let's find a place to rest first."

"Well." Xu Zhaozhao didn't want to be so embarrassed when meeting his future sister-in-law for the first time, so he nodded and wanted to leave, but the plump woman refused to let go: "Want to leave without apologizing? People in places like Beijing are so ignorant Is it the rules?" She also felt quite complacent, especially when she saw that they were silent.

Hearing this, Xu Zhaozhao curled his lips, ignoring her and wanted to leave, but the maid in Tsing Yi simply stepped forward and yanked Lin Jinhua, who seemed easy to bully, and said angrily, "My lady is talking to you, what's your attitude! "

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

"nature."

"Then please go back to the house first, miss, we will come to apologize later." Lin Jinhua smiled slightly.

The plump girl saw that she looked like a peach blossom when she smiled, secretly clenched her fists jealously, and snorted coldly: "There is no need to come to the door, I apologize now."

Some people slowly gathered around, watching the bustle here, and whispering: "Isn't this Miss Lin?"

"Yes, the future Princess Ning. But who is the opposite?"

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

……

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

She didn't believe it.

How could King Ning marry a woman who was handsome but from an ordinary family?And that Ms. Lin is going to visit in the afternoon, I heard that she is just coming back from Changle Temple, how could she be here?
"Apologize!" Seeing that she didn't resist, the girl in Tsing Yi pinched a little bit of her flesh with her hands, and pinched her hard. Lin Jinhua frowned immediately in pain.

Seeing this, Xu Zhaozhao pushed the maid away: "It's clear that you guys are the ones making trouble for no reason today, so why ask us to apologize? If you don't accept it, go to Xu's house and find me!"

The maid in Tsing Yi saw that she was wearing a gray narrow-sleeved gown. Although she had a good face, she was plainly dressed like a street peddler's daughter. She became angry and pushed her forward with a flushed face: "We don't Knowing what the Xu family is, you dare to be disrespectful to our lady, I think you are getting impatient!"

"Who is impatient?"

An indifferent male voice came from the second floor, everyone was taken aback, and the plump woman turned her head quickly, only to see a man in a black brocade robe embroidered with dark gold patterns slowly walking down, his phoenix eyes were cold, and his face was indifferent It seems that there is no trace of warmth, but it is still as handsome as the God of Nine Heavens.

He was walking towards him slowly, his eyes fell on himself... No, his eyes fell on the woman in white just now.

Enduring the shyness on her face, she quickly stepped forward to stand in front of him and saluted: "This young master is..."

"This is our Highness Prince Ning." Gao Zhi said lightly, looking at her idiot-like eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly.

When she heard that it was King Ning, she became more nervous and excited. She tried her best to squeeze the majestic chest, and then she looked at him winkingly and said: "My daughter Sun Wanwan, I have met His Highness King Ning."

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

"Ah?" She looked up in surprise. With her figure and appearance, all men would be moved when they saw her, especially at this moment when she took the initiative to please her. Didn't he see it?She squeezed her chest again, and deliberately brushed her long hair away from her ears, revealing her white neck with slight sweat, and said, "Your Highness, did the court lady disturb you just now? I really don't blame the court lady, it's these two Unreasonable people, you must make things difficult for your courtiers."

"Pfft..."

Xu Zhaozhao couldn't help laughing out loud, she said that she and sister Jinhua were troublemakers?She is afraid that she has never seen what kind of troublesome people are, but her father also said at the beginning that the Sun family was only a small local official back then, and they had to be promoted by their father everywhere to have a place in the officialdom. The position of Minister of War is probably inflated.

When she smiled, Sun Wanwan became more and more wronged, standing beside Zhao Huaiyan and said Qi Qiran: "Look, Your Highness, the servant girl just came to Beijing with her father, and she didn't understand anything, yet she was mocked by them like this..."

Zhao Huaiyan didn't bother to look at her, so before she finished speaking, she stepped forward to Lin Jinhua and asked, "Did they hurt you?"

"Never." Lin Jinhua pursed her lips and smiled. After all, the Sun family and the Xu family are related by marriage, so she couldn't refute Sun Wanwan's face.

"That's good. I have other business to deal with, so I will serve you by your side today." His tone was light, but the ice in his eyes had already turned into tenderness.

Lin Jinhua nodded slightly before he walked away.

Sun Wanwan was stunned, and stood behind in embarrassment.

Xu Zhaozhao was afraid that she would come out again and be ashamed, so he said, "Sister Jinhua, didn't you say to take me to rest, let's go."

The shopkeeper saw that it was really Lin Jinhua, and immediately asked someone to wrap a few pieces of cloth for her as a present: "Miss Lin, you are a little blind, please don't mind."

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

Xu Zhaozhao was not too 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 high-ranking officials and dignitaries, you should hurry back after you finish shopping, Daddy and Brother will visit the Sun Mansion later."

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

"You can call me Zhaozhao from now on." Xu Zhaozhao grinned and walked away.

Sun Wanwan blushed and turned purple, and looked at the mocking eyes of others, as if she had jumped up and down and sang a one-man show just now.

"Miss……"

The servant girl called her, but she turned and ran away with red eyes filled with mist.

As soon as she left, Zheng Ruyi, who had been watching the excitement in the crowd, lifted her cloak, looked at the direction Sun Wanwan was leaving, and the corners of her mouth curled up coldly.

Lin Jinhua took Xu Zhaozhao to a tavern not far from the silk and satin shop, and asked for a seat in the lobby without revealing her identity, and pulled Mo Xue and Cai'er to sit down together at a table.

Xiao Er had just heard about the bustle there, and saw that they were pretty, so she didn't dare to treat them poorly, so she just smiled and said, "What are you guys eating?"

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

Xiaoer hurriedly responded, while Lin Jinhua looked at the tavern full of customers with a smile, thinking that Zhu Wucai was quite capable.

After waiting for a while, the dishes hadn't arrived yet, but there was a sudden commotion, and a pale man ran down from the second floor and shouted at the shopkeeper, "Your dishes are poisonous, aren't they?"

The shopkeeper was stunned: "How is it possible..."

"If you don't believe me, go and see. My wife is convulsing and foaming at the mouth. Isn't it because your food is poisonous?" The woman retorted with her eyes rounded.

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

"I still have to report to the official." The mother-in-law said again.

The shopkeeper had a bitter face: "Don't report to the official. You have reported to the official three times this month. Our small business is small and we really can't afford a fine."

"Then you cure my wife first, and then pay 1000 taels of silver, and forget about it." The woman said again.

Cai'er on the other side could hear something was wrong: "Her wife is ill, why don't you hurry to ask for a doctor, instead you are negotiating conditions here?"

The corners of Lin Jinzheng's mouth curled up slightly, and Xu Zhaozhao also narrowed his eyes and analyzed: "[-]% of them are here to cheat money, and three cases in a month have not been found to be really poisonous. It can be seen that they are not poisonous. They just want to extort money."

Lin Jinhua continued to watch the mother-in-law dealing with the shopkeeper, and the mother-in-law said again: "Do you know who my wife is? My wife is the wife of Liu's family of six ranks and a thousand households. How could she steal your money? This is just a comfort fee That's all."

"This..." The shopkeeper gritted his teeth: "Then let's report to the official."

"you……"

The mother-in-law's eyes widened, but Lin Jinhua felt that the shopkeeper was somewhat interesting, and this Mrs. Liu really had a thick face, a dignified sixth-grade lady, actually doing such low-level things.

She was about to get up to take a look, when she saw someone running out from the side, with a group of servants holding sticks behind, angrily scolded: "I think you are sincerely here to extort money, so what about Mrs. Liupin? My lady is still the future Princess Ning! Someone, drive them out!"

The shopkeeper's hesitation: "This is not good, maybe the lady is really sick."

"What do you know? I asked you to be the shopkeeper, and you are so indecisive. Get out of here now." Zhu Wucai looked at the old woman arrogantly, regardless of the fact that the lobby was full of guests, and said arrogantly: "I advise you to be more sensible. My lady is not easy to mess with..."

"Can King Ning be able to bully people with his power!" 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 nothing more than a mediocre businessman with a stinky face! "

These words angered Zhu Wucai, Zhu Wucai looked at his plain clothes, and gouged out the shopkeeper on the side of his eyes: "Didn't I tell you that we don't welcome such poor people? Why don't we kick them out!"

"Go out and go out, I don't even bother to come to a place like yours!" He swung his sleeves and turned around to leave, when Lin Jinhua got up and said, "Young master, wait a minute."

Jiang Qingshu was stunned when he heard this voice, is it her?
Lin Jinhua glanced at him, and then said to the crowd waiting to see the excitement: "This shop is owned by Miss Lin's family, and has nothing to do with King Ning, it's all because of Miss Lin's lax management."

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

Lin Jinhua gave him a cold look, and walked up to the woman: "I'm a doctor, take me to see your wife."

The mother-in-law had seen Lin Jinhua, and recognized her immediately, she nodded a little embarrassedly, and hurriedly led the people upstairs, Zhu Wucai and Jiang Qingshu also hurriedly followed.

"Ma'am, the doctor is here." The mother-in-law yelled outside before opening the door. When she heard the sound of a glass breaking inside, she hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, and said to Lin Jinhua sideways, "Please."

Lin Jinhua glanced at her indifferently, and walked in steppingly, just in time to see the convulsive woman lying on the warm couch at one side, but her complexion was rosy, her clothes were neat, she didn't look like she had been ill?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, caught her pulse, and said: "The convulsions have nothing to do with diet, but are chronic diseases of the body, and they have been ill for many years."

When Mrs. Liu heard Lin Jinhua's voice, her heart beat suddenly. She had discovered her illness before, and she still refused to help.

She didn't dare to open her eyes and continued to draw them out, Lin Jinhua turned her back to the people outside the house and whispered to her: "If you still pretend to be sick, I will prick the acupuncture points with golden needles, so that you will get sick now and expose your ugliness to everyone! "

Madam Liu stopped twitching immediately after hearing this, but refused to open her eyes to look at her.

Lin Jinhua was not in a hurry, and glanced at her mother-in-law: "Mrs. Liu is fine now, you can take it home and take care of her. If you have such a stubborn illness, please ask a good doctor to take a look."

The mother-in-law saw that the wife stopped acting, and was too embarrassed to speak, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

Mrs. Liu had to open her eyes to look at her, smiled awkwardly, and started to leave, but Lin Jinhua said with a smile: "I heard that Mrs. Liu is going to marry Miss Zheng? Congratulations."

Mrs. Liu straightened her back when she heard this, and said loudly: "Old Mrs. Zheng insists on marrying Miss Zheng to my son. The marriage date has not yet been set, but it is not far away." Miss, it's a matter of face. Although Zheng Lai is still in prison, the crime is not serious, so there is no need to worry.

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

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

When everyone left, Jiang Qingshu hesitated for a moment before entering the room and saluted her respectfully: "It was the grassroots who were reckless."

"It's really reckless to judge a person without knowing everything." Lin Jinhua glanced at him. Without the excitement of his mother's death, he didn't have so many surly plots and less scheming.

Jiang Qing's face turned red with embarrassment, and he should be willing to bow his hands.

Lin Jinhua didn't want to humiliate him, but just reminded him: "Looking at the young master's scholar's attire, I think I'm going to join Chunwei soon. If Chunwei is lucky enough to pass, he will enter the officialdom. Remember to say less about things like this in the future."

Jiang Qingshu looked at her gratefully: "Thank you, Miss, for your reminder."

Xu Zhaozhao came in from the outside, pulled Lin Jinhua and said, "Sister Jinhua, all the dishes are ready, let's eat quickly and go home."

"Let someone pack it up and take it away." Lin Jinhua said with a smile.

Xu Zhaozhao blinked, and immediately asked someone to do it.

Jiang Qingshu thought that she had something to say to him, but she never thought that she passed him and glanced at the aggressive Zhu Wucai just now, and said indifferently: "Come to Xu's to see me tonight, this restaurant will be managed by the shopkeeper for the time being, you You don't need to interfere any more." After saying that, he walked away.

Zhu Wucai limped and said yes, but he was unwilling to do so. He only gritted his teeth, looked at Lin Jinhua's back, and said nothing more.

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

"Jinhua..." He smacked these two words carefully, feeling ashamed of his recklessness just now, but also strengthened his confidence to go to high school and become a superior person.

Here, after Mrs. Liu came back from the tavern, she kept holding her breath, thinking about it, and asked someone to drive the carriage to Zheng's residence.

Mrs. Zheng was still bothering about Zheng Lai's affairs. When she heard that she was coming, she immediately sent someone to greet her.

After arriving in the inner hall, Mrs. Liu looked at the layout of Zheng's residence, and felt somewhat disdainful. Although it was a third-rank family, it was not as luxurious as her home's decoration.She didn't go in and sit down, she just pulled Mrs. Zheng and said: "I'm thinking about when to settle Ruyi and my son's marriage. It's best to get married early. You know, there won't be many good days in the second half of the year."

Mrs. Zheng was startled: "Are you planning to..."

"Of course, the sooner the better, but don't worry, I won't treat Ruyi badly, no, I'll take you to see Mrs. Dingnanhou, so that General Zheng can be released sooner." Mrs. Liu I have a small calculation in my heart.

Mrs. Zheng nodded happily when she heard that: "That's okay...but..." She hesitated: "I heard that Mrs. Dingnanhou has a good relationship with the Lin family, especially Lin Jinhua. Will she agree to go this time?"

"Don't worry..." She looked around, then leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Lin Jinhua and your Ruyi family have always had a grudge, if you married Ruyi to the Liu family earlier, she would naturally not target you, would she? ?”

"That's true." When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she quickly asked someone to get Zheng Ruyi's character and gave it to Mrs. Liu: "Then we will hire you tomorrow?"

"It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. How about just hiring today and setting the wedding date in ten days?" Mrs. Liu couldn't bear the thought of her son's obsession with Zheng Ruyi.

Mrs. Zheng hesitated: "Will it be too casual, my Zheng family is also..."

"Don't worry, old lady, when the time comes, the Liu family will definitely pick up the man with eight big sedan chairs and beating gongs and drums." Madam Liu hurriedly flattered: "Besides, isn't General Zheng going to marry a new wife? When the time comes, no one will remember about this."

Mrs. Zheng, who spoke in a few words, was very excited. She was confused now and wanted to fish out her son. When she heard this, she gritted her teeth and simply nodded.Zheng Ruyi's marriage was settled in this way.

Mrs. Liu is not stupid. Taking advantage of the time when she went to Dingnanhou with Mrs. Zheng, she immediately asked people to buy dozens of taels of wedding candy and peanuts and melon seeds all over the capital to distribute. As soon as the news spread, the Zheng family arrived There is no time to regret it.

As soon as Lin Jinhua returned to Xu's house, Mo Feng quietly appeared behind her and told what Mrs. Liu had done.

Lin Jinhua smiled: "Mrs. Liu has always been thoughtful and courageous. Go and help her. It is best to spread the news as soon as possible so that the whole capital knows."

"Yes." Mo Feng replied, and quietly left.

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

Just entering the flower hall, Lin Jinhua saw a kind woman with tears in her eyes walking towards her, her nose was slightly sour: "Auntie..."

"Hey." Mrs. Xu responded sadly, stepped forward to take her hand with pity and choked up a little: "It can be regarded as meeting you, Jinhua, you have suffered." Lin Jinhua often went back to her natal home with Xu Huiniang when she was a child. The wife has only one son under her knees, she is so rare to her, she is often hugged in her arms and screams like a half-daughter, now knowing that she has suffered so much, her heart aches so badly.

Lin Jinhua didn't dare to make her cry, so she suppressed her grievance and smiled, "Auntie, Jinhua is not wronged."

"Don't feel wronged, your father..." She was annoyed, but she endured it again, and looked at her gently: "He is not around, let alone him, you just came back from Changle nunnery today, are you exhausted? Aunt Some people have prepared hot water for you, you go to wash and rest first, and then aunt will come to talk to you later."

Lin Jinhua looked at her bloodshot eyes, smiled and nodded, and then backed away.

When she was leaving, she looked back, and Mrs. Xu was holding Xu Zhaozhao in her arms, weeping uncontrollably.

Lin Jinhua took a long breath before walking forward.

The yard prepared by Mrs. Xu was specially arranged according to the Luoxia Garden where Lin Jinhua used to live. Except for some ornaments that were too late to buy, even the color of the quilt was exactly the same.

Cai'er was deeply moved: "Fortunately, Uncle Madam loves Miss."

Lin Jinhua sat down on the warm couch at the side, sent away all the servants in the room, and then slowly leaned on the side of the warm couch and breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Mo Xue and said, "Have you heard anything from the Lin family these days?"

"After Lin Xiteng's funeral, Lin Duan seems to have resigned from the court and recuperated at home. As for Lin Xiyu, I heard that he met Wang Huiyuan secretly once." Mo Xue said.

"They?" Lin Jinhua lowered her eyes, she would not move Wang Huiyuan, but neither Lin Xiyu nor Lin Zisu could stay any longer.

"Let the sixth son come to see me tonight, and besides..." She looked at Mo Xue and said, "I remember that Mrs. Ye is not dead yet?" Lin Xiyu stabbed her on the street last time, but she didn't hurt her vitals. If she was released, she should be released too.

"Not dead, but it seems that there has been no movement." Mo Xue also felt a little strange when he thought about it.

Lin Jinyu's eyes were slightly cold: "Master Ye probably doesn't know that Lin Zisu is still alive, and Lin Zisu doesn't care about her. Mrs. Ye hates me and Lin Xiyu, you find a chance and let her see Lin Xiyu again."

Mo Xue understood, and immediately took orders to retreat.

Seeing this, Lin Jinhua asked Cai'er to go down to rest and take a bath by herself.

The hot water soaked her skin and made her feel relaxed.The tub was sprinkled with petals thoughtfully, and the room was filled with a pleasant fragrance. She had been too tense these days, and she was so relaxed that she fell asleep unknowingly. Even when the window was closed by someone I don't even know what to open.

At this time, Wang Huiyuan, after learning that Lin Jinhua had gone down the mountain smoothly, went to see Wang Yushi and Mrs. Wang with a heavy heart, and expressed his thoughts.

After all, Mrs. Wang still protected her daughter, and was slightly dissatisfied with his proposal: "Yuan'er, Ru Yan is your sister after all, how could you push her into the fire pit."

Wang Yushi also felt that he was very strange during this period of time: "Although I am worried about the son of the Lin family, he is very talented and infatuated with Ru Yan, but the Zeng Xuehai you are talking about now, regardless of whether he broke a leg or not, his family has already accepted it. A few concubines, if Ru Yan marries, she will be wronged."

"Father, isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? Although Zeng Xuehai has a broken leg, he will definitely be on the list this year. His Zeng family is a century-old scholarly family. He and Ru Yan are both talented and beautiful. More importantly, he has one heart and one mind. He likes Ru Yan and respects us very much, how could he be careless if Ru Yan married her?" Wang Huiyuan persuaded.

Mrs. Wang still disagreed and looked at him disappointedly: "Yuan'er, what happened to you recently, you used to love Ru Yan the most."

Wang Huiyuan couldn't stand his mother looking at him like this, so he pursed his lips, but didn't say a word.

Wang Yushi saw the clue, and said in a deep voice: "You go back first, we will consider Ru Yan's marriage, and Mr. Lin, I think it's not bad. When these things in the Lin family subside, we can consider it." Directly let Wang Hui away.

Wang Huiyuan gritted his teeth slightly, not daring to refute on the face, and his face became sullen when he left the study.

After thinking about it for a while, he still decided to use the move Zisu said, if the raw rice was cooked, his parents would never refute it because of Ru Yan's reputation.

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

When Yingtang saw him, her complexion paled a little: "Your...Young master."

"Go and tell Ru Yan that Lin Jincheng will be waiting for her at the Fuxiang Inn tonight." He paused, then gritted his teeth.

Yingtang's hand trembled suddenly: "My lord, what do you want to do..."

Wang Huiyuan looked at her coldly: "If you're told to go, just go, don't talk so much nonsense! If you can't do it well, you and your family won't have a good time!"

Yingtang's face turned paler, but she could only nod her head.

Seeing her answer, Wang Huiyuan stepped out.

He got into the carriage, walked around the winding alley, and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous small house.

He stepped forward to knock on the door, and then adjusted his clothes nervously. As soon as the courtyard door opened, a woman in snow-white clothes appeared in front of him and looked at him with a smile: "Hui Yuan, are you all arranged?" ?”

"En." Wang Huiyuan looked at her fairy-like face, although she had scars, but the flaws were not concealed.

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

Wang Huiyuan only felt that all the blood rushed to the top of his head, and he no longer had the slightest sense of reason. He picked her up and strode in.

At the corner, Lao Liu watched all this, turned and left quietly.
