The ninth day of February is the spring exam date set by the imperial court. At the same time, the war on the northern border has officially begun. The spring is getting stronger in the capital, flowers are blooming, and there are many tourists inside and outside the suburbs of Beijing. However, it is still freezing cold in the north, and there are no pedestrians.

.

Lin Wan stood in trance on the Lanyue Tower, looking out the window at Zuiyue Lake and lost his mind. Hu Wanda had already connected with the people from the Eight Steps of the Grassland. He had dealt with these people when he was doing business there.

This is just the beginning, in the future... Lin Wan shuddered, not knowing how long this battle would last.

"A Wan, why are you in such a daze?" Yang Ling slapped Lin Wan in the face and complained sadly, pouting. "Finally, the weather has warmed up. I originally planned to have some fun with you, but both of you are...

Keep a straight face!"

"You, I just barely had haircuts before, you ran out today, your mother will have to restrain you again." Yao Yuying gently pulled Yang Ling and persuaded her earnestly, "You are not young anymore, and you still think about it all day long.

Just fooling around!"

Yang Ling curled her lips helplessly, looked at Yao Yuying and Lin Wan with a grimace and stopped talking.

"I'm really scared of you." Lin Wan looked away, pointed at Yang Ling and said helplessly, "It's spring these days, and there's not much to see. Let's wait for the weather to warm up in March and go to the suburbs of Beijing to see the peach blossoms.

!”

Only then did Yang Ling smile and clapped her hands and cried out. When she was relieved, she suddenly remembered something. She hugged Yao Yuying's arm and said with a smile: "Aying, the purse you were sent last month was really nice. I just took it out.

They were robbed. Do you still have any? Give me a few more!"

Lin Wan snorted at Yang Ling and said with a smile: "Stop it now! A Ying just promised to make me some spice bags. But I don't care about you!"

Yang Ling chuckled: "No hurry, no hurry, I'll wait for Aying to be free."

"It's almost done. I'll have someone bring it to you later." Yao Yuying replied with a smile.

Just as he was talking, the waiter outside brought the new wine from Lan Yue Lou and some special side dishes, and the ladies hurriedly brought them in and set them up. The three of them were chatting while sipping the wine, and heard Yang Ling complain about the food given by her mother.

She was worried about seeing the marriage, and they chatted for a long time, and then they broke up.

After returning to Yimeiyuan, Lin Wan remembered the grain that had been transported to the outskirts of Beijing. After thinking about it, she shouted "Zhou Ming" into the air.

Zhou Ming's figure fell in response and stood in front of Lin Wan with his hands lowered, waiting for instructions.

"Did you tell me before you left that if something arrives and needs to be transported to the border, who should I contact?"

Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled and said, "I told you earlier, and I specially asked Zhu Qi to stay here." Seeing Lin Wan frowning as if he was confused, he quickly explained, "Zhu Qi takes care of the secular things for me.

, and also in charge of my private property."

Lin Wan raised his eyebrows and smiled, which was good. "In that case, please invite him to come sometime. I have something to ask him for help."

Zhou Ming hurriedly responded and stood for a while. Seeing that Lin Wan had nothing to say, he bowed his hands and disappeared again.

Lin Wan walked around the room a few times and slowly exhaled. She could only do so much about matters in the north. Once the war started, Hu Wanda could not be contacted easily. The rest was all Lu

It’s Junzhao’s business.

Here, Lin Wan's heart was agitated and full of worries, but the palace of Prince Xining was completely quiet. Prince Xining had no time to worry about his son at the moment. Although Princess Wei was worried about her, she knew that her son was a general and the war had just started.

There is still a long time to come, so I just try to persuade myself.

The couple finished their meal quietly in the house. King Xining sat leisurely on the kang and chatted with Princess Wei: "Didn't you visit many families last year? Which families have good girls? Don't have too much family background.

It’s enough to be prominent and have a good family tradition.”

Princess Wei stared at Prince Xining with a strange expression on her face. She endured it for a long time. She wanted to laugh but it wasn't funny. She frowned and asked in confusion: "The prince wants to show Brother Zhao?"

"Does that bastard still need me to look after him?" King Xining twisted his neck sullenly, patted the edge of the kang, and urged impatiently: "Don't worry about this for now, first tell me, which girl is the best?"

After thinking for a while, he added, "Well, I hope I can get along well with the second girl."

Princess Wei was even more confused and sighed in confusion: "Your Majesty, you really have a whim today. I visited several families, the Yuan family, the Chen family, the Meng family, and thought about it, but I haven't seen any of their girls.

I was blocked by Zhao Ge'er's words. Didn't the former master also tell me to leave it alone? He said that Zhao Ge'er had his own ideas.

.I asked Changshou later, but the ghost spirit didn't say anything at first, and then he hesitated and let out some rumors, saying that Brother Zhao seemed to have a girl he liked. I thought since it was him who liked him,

She must be a good girl too. After this battle is over, I will have to ask carefully. He is not young anymore, so we have to hurry up and propose marriage!"

King Xining opened his mouth, and while his mind was spinning, he temporarily suppressed the bad idea before. With a glint in his eyes, he smiled at his old wife and said: "That bastard has a very bad temper, and he won't let me control him! Hehe, don't worry,

When that bastard comes back, let's see how he gets his wife back!"

Princess Wei's eyes widened when she heard this, and then she was overjoyed. She grabbed Prince Xining's sleeve and asked eagerly: "Your Majesty, does he know which girl he has chosen?"

The King of Xining complained, "Why didn't you say anything to me? Which family is the girl from? If it's someone I don't know well, I'd better talk to them first to avoid being rude."

King Xining rolled his eyes and said vaguely: "After all, he must be someone he has met before. How long has he been back? How many little girls can he see?"

Princess Wei sighed in frustration and glanced at King Xining helplessly. Both father and son had the same stubborn temper! Then she shook her head and talked about other things. "Is there a letter from Brother Qing? They are here.

I've been away to the south for a year, and it's time to come back. I don't know, hey..." Princess Wei thought of her eldest son, and the sourness and sorrow in her heart kept pouring out, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

"No news is good news!" King Xining gave a few words of persuasion. Seeing the sadness on his wife's face, he patted her hand with emotion and blamed himself in a low voice, "It's my fault too..."

The couple was speechless for a while.

The next day, Lin Wan went to Uncle Chengyi's Mansion again because she was thinking about Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang's cold had not gotten better since the end of January. She seemed to have lost a lot of weight and her complexion was not very good.

Seeing the worry in Lin Wan's eyes, Mrs. Wang smiled and comforted her: "Good boy, don't worry. Grandma is getting old, and everyone gets old sometimes. Birth, aging, illness and death are human nature, so you should be more open-minded."

Lin Wan's nose was sore and her eye circles were red. She gently leaned against Mrs. Wang and said in a tearful voice, "Grandma is still in her early years!"

Mrs. Wang laughed and gently stroked Lin Wan's hair with one hand. After a long time, she stopped smiling, pulled Lin Wan up, looked Lin Wan in the eyes and asked: "I asked people to pay attention to the matter in the north.

Hu Wanda died a few days ago

News, Zhao Youqian has been sent to the capital by you for more than half a month. Grandma can guess some things even if you don’t tell them. Did Lu Erlang look for you again before he went to the north? Grandma told you last time

If so, have you thought clearly?"

Lin Wan felt sour and warm in her heart, but tears kept pouring out, and she was choked and speechless. She had been in this world for so long, and her grandma taught her step by step. She was so old, but she still let her worry about her.

It's just unfilial...

"Don't cry." Mrs. Wang lovingly wiped away Lin Wan's tears, took her into her arms, and sighed softly. "You are a good kid, except for marriage matters... Hey, grandma was like this before.

Worrying, now it seems, is the right thing to worry about. Grandma always wants to find you a family with a simple family background and a good personality.

A peaceful and polite husband, your life will be easier in the future. But when getting along with a couple, you have to take the initiative and plan what needs to be planned. It is best if you can achieve harmony as a couple and respect and love each other. But you have such a temper.

, she looks like an old lady of seventy or eighty years old, refusing to take more than half a step..."

"I know, and I know it, grandma, but the Wang family has a great cause..." Lin Wan's eyes were red, and she was upset and a little aggrieved at the same time. She cried silently, hesitating and struggling in her heart for a long time, and then she raised her face.

Come, after careful consideration, I told Mrs. Wang about Lu Junzhao.

"...He just suddenly mentioned, I have never thought about the Lu family, so I went back to him directly. Who would have thought that this man looked deserted, but he even used stalking tactics. He is a grown man...

…”

Mrs. Wang frowned again and again when she heard this, and finally sighed in confusion. While wiping Lin Wan's tears, she scolded: "As a girl, if you encounter such a thing, no matter how much you have an idea, you should talk to your elders.

!I really didn’t expect Lu Erlang to be so reckless! Hey, he’s also a fool!”

When Mrs. Wang saw Lin Wan curling her lips and looking disgusted, she felt funny in her heart. She paused and explained: "Lu Erlang is too reckless and doesn't know the rules! But he is like this, and people don't know.

What can I say?"

When Mrs. Wang said this, she shook her head and sighed: "Speaking of which, it's not easy for the child. At that time, the Xining Prince's Palace was too powerful. I heard that Lu Dalang seemed to be in some bad ways. Later, it was the Prince of Xining who spoiled his concubine and killed his wife.

Things have been going on for half a year... Hey, Lu Erlang was trained as the heir by King Xining, and he went to war when he was less than ten years old.

He has been wandering around the barracks for these years. There are many men in that place. How many girls can he see throughout the year? How could he care about the rules for getting along with these girls in the capital? In addition, the folk customs in the north are open, I heard

There are people from Beiyan who come directly to snatch the bride... Hey, this kid really makes people laugh and cry!"

Lin Wan wiped her tears and blinked her eyes and wanted to refute, but when the words came to her lips, she held back and muttered: "The Lu family tree attracts wind, marrying him would be better than marrying into the Wang family!"

Mrs. Wang was stunned by Lin Wan's straightforward words, and then she nodded at Lin Wan's forehead and said helplessly: "Hey, it's useless to say so much now. God's calculations are not as good as those of others. We'll talk about it in March when you have hairpins."

Well. Grandma still wants to watch you get engaged and get married!"

Lin Wan burst into tears and laughed, leaning next to Mrs. Wang and nodding. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
