Chapter 49: Covering the sky with one hand

Qin Keqing returned to her bedroom, washed up first, and then walked to the dressing table, picked up a copy of Qionglin for Kindergarten and flipped through it.

In order to teach her younger brother, she had read through Qiong Lin's book "Kindergarten Learning" several times. When she heard Lin Yun's words, she realized that just memorizing the content of the articles in the book would not make her a good teacher.

Yes, you must fully understand the content inside.

After reading for a while, she threw the book away angrily, saying to herself: "I don't want to be a teacher, and I don't want to take the imperial examination, so why bother working so hard on it."

At this moment, her maid Ruizhu walked in through the curtain and reported to her: "Girl, the uncle is here."

Qin Keqing said hurriedly: "Let him in quickly."

Not long after, Qin Zhong walked in with a folded piece of paper in his hand.

Qin Keqing hurriedly asked: "Zhong'er, has your gentleman left?"

Qin Zhong responded respectfully: "He has left. It was an old gentleman who called Brother Lin away."

"Why do you call him Brother Lin? Isn't he the gentleman that the master hired for you?"

"Brother Lin is not the gentleman invited by the master. He said that he is from Yangzhou. He came to the capital to study not long ago. He has just been admitted to Yichen Academy and will go to the academy to study the next day. However, Brother Lin said that he will come as soon as he is free.

Please teach me how to read."

Qin Keqing said disappointedly: "So he can't be your husband?"

"I'm afraid it's impossible. By the way, sister, Brother Lin asked me to give this to you."

Qin Keqing saw the paper sign in her brother's hand, and her cheeks instantly turned red. She scolded her brother: "Who asked you to deliver a message for him?"

Qin Zhong said hurriedly: "It's not a letter, it's just a word."

"Then you are not allowed to pass it for him."

"oh."

Qin Zhong agreed and turned around to leave. Qin Keqing stopped him again and said, "Wait, keep that one."

"What's left? Sister, are you talking about this paper sign?"

Qin Keqing said with embarrassment: "Put it down and leave quickly, let the master see it, and touch the board carefully."

When Qin Zhong heard that he might get hit, he was so frightened that he quickly put the paper sign in his hand on the dressing table, turned around and ran out.

After his brother left, Qin Keqing picked up the folded piece of paper, unfolded it, and saw seven words written on it, "If life is just like the first time we met."

After Qin Keqing read it, he quickly stuffed the note into his sleeve, and then looked up at the door in a panic.

After making sure that none of the maids were in the room, she raised her hand and patted her chest, softly spitting: "Bah! What a deceitful person!"

After a while, she reached out and took out another paper sign from her sleeve, and whispered in her mouth: "If life is only like the first meeting, the first meeting~"

Thinking of that person's stupid look when he first saw him, Qin Keqing's lips curved into a sweet smile.

After laughing, she began to doubt again, "Since that man was not the gentleman that his father hired for his brother, how could he enter the back house? Could it be that his father had chosen him for himself~"

Thinking of this possibility, Qin Keqing suddenly felt her cheeks burning.

She quickly put the paper sign into the drawer of the dresser and silently said to herself: "No, I must be overthinking it."



The carriage moved forward slowly on the street. In the carriage, the old miracle doctor smiled at Lin Yun and asked, "Can anyone see it?"

Lin Yun: "It was just a quick glance, and I didn't look carefully."

The old miracle doctor said jokingly: "It would be nice if you could see me. Do you still want to get closer and take a closer look?"

Lin Yun suddenly remembered and asked curiously: "How did you do it?"

The old miracle doctor chuckled and said: "I asked Prince Xuan for help. I first greeted Brother Qin and arranged for the girl to teach her brother how to read. Otherwise, how could you easily meet his female family members."

Lin Yun asked in confusion: "Why are you doing this? Don't tell me that you have a hobby of being a matchmaker."

"Don't worry about this for now. I want to ask you, are you satisfied with that girl's appearance?"

Lin Yun nodded and said: "I have already thought about it. When I get back, I will ask my aunt to send someone to propose marriage. I must marry her back."

The old miracle doctor: "Then you have to hurry up. I heard that there are still people who are planning to propose marriage to the Qin family."

Lin Yun felt a sudden change in his heart when he heard this. He didn't need the old man to tell him, but he also knew that most of the people proposing marriage were from Ningguo Mansion.

The old miracle doctor added: "However, you don't have to worry. I have made an agreement with Prince Xuan, and he promises to make the decision for you. As long as you can convince your aunt to agree to propose marriage, the marriage will be completed."

Lin Yun hurriedly bowed his hands to the old man and thanked him, "Thank you sir for this."

Divine Doctor Guo said cheerfully: "Can the hundreds of taels of silver I owe you be written off in one go?"

"No problem, as long as this marriage can happen, the debt will be written off."

"Then it's settled."

Lin Yun suddenly remembered, "No, I forgot to pick up Sister Lin."

He quickly turned the carriage around and wanted to go to Rongguo Mansion to pick up people first.

But the old miracle doctor didn't want to go to Jia's Mansion. In desperation, Lin Yun had no choice but to let Xiao Mo accompany the old man back in a carriage, and he took Zhong Yi on horseback to Rongguo Mansion to pick him up.



Lin Yun and Zhong Yi rode horses to the west corner gate of Rongguo Mansion, preparing to enter the mansion to pick up Daiyu. It was not that he liked to go through the corner gate, but that his status was not enough for him to enter through the middle gate of Jia Mansion.

The two dismounted outside the west corner gate and saw two servants on duty in front of the gate.

Lin Yun took the horse and was about to go in when a servant stepped forward to stop him and said: "This is the back house of Rongguo Mansion, and outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission."

Zhong Yi stepped forward and explained: "This is the young nephew of your aunt's family. We are here to take Miss Lin back to her home."

The servant continued to block the two men's way and insisted: "We haven't received a notice from the steward and we can't let you in."

Lin Yun: "Well, you go in and report to Brother Lian that it's Lin Yun who's here."

The servant nodded and said, "Okay. Then I'll go in and pass the message for you."

"Thank you!"

The servant walked back, said a few words to the other servant, and then went in to report the news.

Lin Yun secretly complained in his heart that the west corner gate of Rongguo Mansion was even more difficult to enter than the main entrance of Prince Xuan's Mansion. From this point of view, the old miracle doctor did have good connections in the capital.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, the servant who went to deliver the message had not returned yet.

Lin Yun gradually felt that something was wrong. Even if the other party did not recognize him before, he had already reported his identity. How could that person dare to treat him so lightly? Wasn't he worried that he would go in and report to Jia Lian?

Zhong Yi reminded Lin Yun: "Master, I think there is something weird here. It seems that someone is deliberately making things difficult for you."

Lin Yun nodded slightly, vaguely guessing in his mind that in this Rongguo Mansion, who else could send servants to embarrass him without fear of being punished by Jia Lian, besides the Lai brothers.

Zhong Yi suggested to Lin Yun: "How about we break in? I can easily restrain the boy guarding the door."

Lin Yun said in a leisurely manner: "We are educated people. How can we make trouble in front of our relatives' houses? We should wait patiently."

Hearing Lin Yun say this, Zhong Yi felt a toothache. He thought to himself: "When you beat Lai Xi, why didn't you say you were a scholar?"

While waiting, servants from the mansion kept coming in and out, but no one came over to ask Lin Yun a few words. It was as if both of them were invisible. This made Lin Yun more and more certain that someone wanted to

Deliberately irritating myself, hoping that he would make a big fuss outside the house.

After thinking about it clearly, Lin Yun was no longer anxious. He wanted to see how the person who made things difficult for him would end up in the end.



Lin Yun is not in a hurry, but some people are.

Outside a small wing for the doorkeeper to rest, the servant who had previously agreed to deliver the message for Lin Yun was circling around the door as anxiously as an ant on a hot pot.

Finally, a male servant wearing a sheepskin coat came over. He hurriedly greeted him and said: "Brother Li Cheng, you are finally here. The man outside has been waiting for nearly half an hour. If you don't go through,

It is said that after the Second Master Lian came to investigate, he had to expose me."

Li Cheng said nonchalantly: "Look at your little potential. Grandpa is the one who supports you. You are afraid of getting upset."

"Can I not be afraid? That person is my aunt's nephew, and he has registered in front of the old lady. If this matter gets serious, I'm afraid even Grandpa Lai won't be able to handle it."

Li Cheng sneered: "What kind of nephew? He's just a distant relative who can't be beaten with eight sticks. What's wrong with asking him to wait a little longer? Don't forget, this is Rongguo Mansion, not the Lianghuai Patrol Salt Emperor in Yangzhou City.

Make the Yamen."

"But we can't keep spending time with him like this, right? With so many people coming in and out, the masters in the house will get the news sooner or later."

"Don't worry. Thanks to grandpa's control, no one dares to stand up and meddle in other people's business unless he doesn't want to hang around in the house anymore."

"But~"

"Don't worry, if a fight breaks out, the most you can do is get a slap in the face, and Grandpa Lai will definitely compensate you afterwards."

"Oh well."



The servant named Li Cheng didn't know that although most of the servants were afraid of Butler Lai's power in the house and did not dare to meddle in other people's affairs, one of the maids who helped with chores in the kitchen felt that this was someone seeking credit.

Good opportunity.

This maid was from Qin Xian's family, and her husband was Jia Zheng's long-term attendant. She once mentioned to her that Mr. Zheng valued his great-aunt's nephew very much and even met him personally.

Now that the young nephew was blocked by the servants outside the west corner door and not allowed to enter the house, she immediately felt that this was a good opportunity to show off her merits, so she went to the Lin Zhixiao family, whom she had flattered in the past, and told her what she had seen.

the other party.

Lin Zhixiao's family became anxious upon hearing this. She knew that Jia Lian and his wife had been waiting for Lin Yun's arrival. Now that they have arrived, they are blocked outside the west corner door. This is not a slap in the face of Mr. Lian.

She quickly ran to Sister Feng's courtyard, preparing to report the matter to the second master and second grandma. It happened that Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were not in the house, only Ping'er was.

After listening to Lin Zhixiao's family's explanation of the situation, Ping'er became anxious. She quickly sent the maid out to inform Jia Lian's servant, and quickly retrieved the second master. She rushed to Bisha Kitchen to find Wang Xifeng to report the situation.
