Step on a branch

Chapter 152 Warmth
The oil lamp was on.

When the wick burns, it makes a little noise.

When it falls in the ear, it will not feel noisy, but will become more peaceful.

Lin Fan wasn't in a hurry to make a move, he turned over the pieces at his fingertips, and said, "I only found out not long ago."

Over the years, Princess Pingyang has quietly made a lot of preparations.

After Lin Fan confirmed his background and chose the path to take, those preparations were put in front of him.

That day, the eldest princess told Lin Fan who were credible and available, how much money they had in their hands, and how much military capital they could exchange for.

This is a gift from my aunt to my nephew, and it is a knife that my nephew used when he was walking.

But never buy and sell.

If Lin Fan didn't take this path, he wouldn't know all the preparations.

"Concubine Shu is from Huaxin." Lin Fan said.

Qin Luan let out a soft "Huh".

She knew of a town called Huaxin.

There is such a thing in the past that Aunt Lan told before.

"Before the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the enemy army passed a batch of grain and grass through the town, and the eldest princess took the guards to intercept the grain," Qin Luan repeated, "The enemy army was defeated, and wanted to die together, so they set fire to the town and killed the people in the town. Guiwei fought until dawn, saving half of the town and many women and children who were unable to escape."

Lin Fan nodded: "This is the town. Concubine Shu is the 'Ru' in it."

Qin Luan was surprised, and said: "At that time, how old was Concubine Shu? Three years old? Four years old?"

"It's about this age," Lin Fan replied, "Guiwei rescued her and sent her back to her family. Until the emperor ascended the throne, the eldest princess wanted to place someone next to the emperor. When she was really troubled about the candidate, she encountered family ruin and death Concubine Shu."

It is very difficult for an orphan girl to survive. She barely survived as a beggar and a thief.

She recognized the eldest princess at a glance, and summoned up the courage to recommend herself.

She said that she remembered those heroic sisters, and she wanted to be one of them, so that she could support herself.

At that time, Guiwei's married couples, and those who returned to their hometowns, had already dispersed.

There are many ways to support herself, and the eldest princess let her make her own choice.

A maidservant, a female official, or learning a craft, of course, you can enter the palace if you want.

"Concubine Shu chose the most difficult path." Lin Fan said.

Therefore, the eldest princess cultivated her, made her the daughter of a scholar, gave her a good background, and arranged for her to enter the palace when she was old.

"The eldest princess said, Concubine Shu is very interesting," Lin Fan couldn't help smiling when he said this, "What to do after entering the palace, what to do, in fact, she didn't explain Concubine Shu in detail, she just told her to stay in the harem. Live well. Concubine Shu has come to this day by relying on her own ability. Not long ago, Concubine Shu really knew her purpose."

Qin Luan smiled: "Then, did she make such a fortune?"

It has to be said that this sum seems to have nothing to do with the advancement of the border situation they want, but it has deepened the gap between the emperor and the empress dowager.

They all say to work together.

If one's own side is united and the enemy's mind is not, it is naturally much easier to follow up.

The chess piece landed on the chessboard again, crisp and raw.

Qin Luan was concentrating on it with a concentrated expression.

Lin Fan's eyes stopped on her.

When they first met, he thought Qin Luan was cold-tempered.

When the girl opened her mouth, he realized that what was cold was the Taoist robe and dust whisk on her body. Whether it was to scare people or talk to Qin Feng and Qian Er, Qin Luan was actually very naughty.

After getting acquainted with each other, he gradually felt that apart from being lively, Qin Luan was also warm.

Just like the oil lamp falling on her at this moment, people can't help but relax.

Everything she said and what she did made him warm.

Such a warm girl, who is connected with him and walks hand in hand with him...

It not only warmed the surrounding area, but also illuminated the road ahead that was originally shrouded in thick fog.

"A Luan." Lin Fan spoke softly.

Qin Luan heard the sound, raised his eyelids, and asked with his eyes.

Lin Fan smiled suddenly and didn't say anything.

Qin Luan saw that he was only smiling and didn't speak, so he didn't ask any more questions, instead he rolled his eyes and moved briskly.

There are some things that she can understand even if she doesn't say them.

This game of chess, played nearly four times, ended with Qin Luan's defeat.

Qin Luan wanted to resume the game, but at this time, he had no choice but to give up.

After all, it is spring, and the dawn is getting earlier and earlier.

Lin Fan returned to Dingguo's mansion.

Fang Tian fetched water for him to freshen up, and said, "Master, you haven't slept all night again?"

Lin Fan said, "Didn't sleep."

Fang Tian touched the tip of his nose.

Also.

With such a big change yesterday, Concubine Shun was thrown into the cold palace. Although it was a matter of the harem, the front and harem were actually one.

It was normal for their master to discuss it with the old master immediately when something happened suddenly.

"Miss Qin hasn't slept yet?" Fang Tian looked at Lin Fan's expression and asked again.

Hearing Lin Fan's "hmm", Fang Tian was very entangled: "Master, you are full of energy, and you can live a full night without sleeping, but Miss Qin is also a girl, so you don't have to sleep well, it hurts your body. "

Of course, Lin Fan also knew that staying up late was not a good thing, but at other times, he had no chance and could only look for her at night.

He glanced at Fang Tian: "Last time you talked about giving gifts, did you come up with a good idea?"

Fang Tian's face showed a bit of confusion.

He asked his aunt for advice, and the aunt picked out several kinds of fragrant slices for him.

"It's said that it's Xun clothes and smoked house. They all smell good. Moreover, I chose it according to Miss Qin's temperament. Miss Qin will definitely like it." Fang Tian replied.

Everything is good.

It's just that it's not so appropriate for a man to send spices to a girl's house.

Fang Tian questioned his aunt at that time, but was stopped by Liu Gong's words.

"Come and go, do you still want Miss Qin to be the Duke's wife?"

Fang Tian was completely blocked.

He thought about it.

He thought Miss Qin was a perfect fit for their master.

If the master doesn't take the initiative, they push him to take the initiative, so picking a gift that is a little less appropriate is actually a way?
Fang Tian was persuaded by Liu Gongshi and came back with a gift.

"It's in your study," Fang Tian said, "Next time you have a chance, you can give it to Miss Qin."

Lin Fan responded, said "hard work", went inside to change clothes, and prepared to go to court.

Fang Tian stood on the spot and patted his head.

Their master didn't question this gift at all?
Spice yay!
He is ready, when faced with doubts, he will convince them with the words "you stand up straight and don't think about it yourself".

Their father didn't even ask?
Is this, too honest?

Fang Tian sighed sadly.

Lin Fan changed his clothes and did not leave in a hurry. He went to the desk first and opened the spice box.

On the soft brocade, there are five plain porcelain vases filled with different incense pieces.

Lin Fan opened them one by one and sniffed.

Elegant and light, it really is the taste that Qin Luan would like.

It's also him, and he likes the smell very much.
