"Third brother said it lightly!" Qin Rushan snorted coldly in a bad tone.

Qin Rushou had been silent all the time, but now he hesitated and suggested: "It won't help if we move forward at this time, why not wait and see what happens?"

Old Master Qin rubbed his forehead wearily, and his stern voice revealed some disappointment and helplessness. "I'm getting old. After all, I'm not as aggressive as I was when I was young, and I'm less courageous. Look, how long has it been? The Qin family is one step behind, but just this step, so many benefits have fallen to others! Now you look at it Ancheng, the Shi family and the Han family are deadly rivals, and they were friends with the Qin family before, but now that both families have benefited, the Qin family has been left aside. The world is changing, and there is no waiting."

Elder Master Qin, Qin Ruhai, also frowned tightly, and after a moment of concentrating silence, he said, "The gifts should not be taken lightly. It's winter now, I'll go for the winter solstice ceremony."

Old Master Qin nodded slightly, pointed at Qin Rushan and said: "You often go to Second Master's place to walk around in Weiyuan City."

Qin Rushan stiffened his neck and hummed angrily, squinting at Qin Rufu from the corner of his eye.

Qin Rufu touched his belly with his hands, looked around quietly, his face wrinkled into a smile, squinted his eyes, looked at Mr. Qin flatteringly and fearfully, and said with a tentative smile: "Why don't you let Ah Yun go with Big Brother?" After all, the second master is Ah Yun's life-saving benefactor, and that girl is a decent Qin family member, with a docile temperament and good looks. With this involvement, the second master will think about it a little bit."

Qin Rushan's eyes shrank when he heard the words, and his eyes were a little cold when he stared at Qin Rufu.He clearly knew that he intended to send his daughter to the Beirongyuan!

"Alright, let that girl go and thank the second master. The second young lady is still a little girl, younger than Ah Yun, and they are all the same young girls. They should get along well after thinking about it. Let the fourth daughter-in-law take care of her later. Let Ayun go to the second young lady's place to walk around more. It would be better to see the second master." Old master Qin spoke in a calm voice, but his tone was unquestionable.

Qin Rushan's heart skipped a beat, his expression stiffened for a moment, and then he returned to normal in an instant, and said in a muffled voice, "Long's birth is not high. The young lady heard that she came from the Hou's mansion, and she is very proud." An arrogant little girl, she must hold her own identity..."

"She is the master, so what's the matter with holding on to her own identity?" Old Master Qin's voice suddenly rose a little, and his eyes stabbed at Qin Rushan coldly like a sharp sword, "How can you wrong the Long family?"

Qin Rushan looked away.He stopped in embarrassment, his face was stiff, and he agreed with a dry voice.

However, Qin Ruhai spoke extremely calmly at this moment: "Using women to seduce people has never had good results. Besides, the general is not a womanizer. Father, think again."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people around the table changed, and Mr. Qin's face turned red and white.He patted the table angrily with his eyes wide open, his beard flying.Embarrassment and helplessness flashed between his brows.Pointing at Qin Ruhai with trembling fingers, he reprimanded: "What are you talking about? The second master is kind to my Qin family. If you don't thank my family, can you be ungrateful?" The voice was severe, but he couldn't hide the helplessness in his words. and lonely.

No one in the Qin family's generation can take on the heavy responsibility. The younger generation has grown up and failed to become a weapon, and the mature one has not grown up. He is old.I can still work hard for this family for a few days... After Mr. Qin finished his reprimand, his shoulders suddenly relaxed.The voice ordered wearily: "Serve the food."

Several masters knew that this meant no further discussion.They had to put their minds to each other, gathered around a table of delicacies with different faces, but they didn't know what to eat.

At the end of October, the north is already icy, and there are decaying areas everywhere, with no trace of life in sight.Weiyuan City ushered in the first heavy snow amidst the howling cold wind. Snowflakes made of goose feathers rustled down and quickly covered the streets, roofs, and tree branches...

The cold wind outside the house was biting, like a sharp knife, it cut straight at the face of the person.

Lin Wan wore a half-worn fox fur jacket and leaned on the bamboo couch covered with thick felt, watching the snowflakes falling outside the window quietly. The brochure was delivered.Then he raised the corner of his mouth, and let out a very soft snort, with a touch of disdain and sarcasm.

As soon as she put down the brochure, Madam Cao entered the room with a smile on her face wrapped in a thick padded jacket.

"What kind of happy event did Mammy meet?" Lin Wan got off the couch, and her face also smiled, and asked while passing hot tea to Mammy Cao.

Mammy Cao hurriedly took the teapot from Lin Wan's hand, put it down, and wrinkled her face with a smile. "A letter came from the capital. Grandma gave birth to a fat boy. Lord Hou and Madam gave a reward. Madam also wrote a letter to Madam." He took out an envelope from his sleeve and handed it to Lin Wan. "The boy who delivered the letter said that everything is fine for my wife. I lived in the courtyard near Cishou Temple for a while, and said it was to worship the Buddha. I only returned to the Hou Mansion this month."

Lin Wan took the envelope with a smile, took out the letter paper and read it carefully. Mrs. Liu wrote three or four pages, but summed it up in just a few sentences.It was nothing more than saying that she was fine, and told her daughter not to read, and told Lin Wan to take care of her body so that she would not catch the cold, and said that she should have a good time with her son-in-law, and pay more attention to Lu Junzhao, etc.

Lin Wan's heart warmed up when she saw it, and she stood by the stove, her cheeks were flushed and her eye sockets were also slightly flushed.

Seeing this, Mammy Cao sighed in her heart, took Lin Wan's hand and patted it lovingly, and changed the subject with a smile: "There is one more thing, I almost forgot! The shopkeeper Yan and Gao from the Chengyi House The shopkeeper also came to Longchuan Mansion, and today he sent someone to bring gifts to Madam and Ye, and said that Uncle and Second Uncle are thinking about Young Madam and Ye."

Lin Wan paused for a moment while folding the letter paper, and then laughed softly. "Let's put it away for now. When the master comes back in the evening, let the master have a look. I haven't seen shopkeeper Gao for a year or two. I saw him occasionally when my grandmother was still there. Mammy sent someone to talk to shopkeeper Tan. Sending a letter to ask him to treat the two shopkeepers well is to show the kindness of the landlord."

Mammy Cao nodded with a busy smile, turned around and went out to give orders to the little girl.

In the evening, Lu Junzhao entered the yard covered in snow, and Lin Wan went up to meet him with a smile. While untying Lu Junzhao's cloak, he smiled and told about the two shopkeepers of Chengyibo's House who came to give gifts.

Lu Junzhao raised his brows, looked at Lin Wan with clear and deep eyes and said with a smile: "Old Chengyi is a free-spirited and courageous man. He walked to the north back then. Mrs. Chengyi is also very wise. I don't know the two uncles." How did you get in touch, we accept this gift. Ah Wan is going to return the gift?"

Lin Wan stared at Lu Junzhao's eyes brightly, and the two men's eyes met. Lin Wan's eyes were immersed in Lu Junzhao's deep but gentle eyes, and after a moment of silence, she pursed her lips and smiled, and then looked away. Smiling, she squeezed into Lu Junzhao's arms, hugged Lu Junzhao's waist with both hands, rested her head on Lu Junzhao's chest, and said with a soft and greasy voice: "If the two uncles give me a gift, please go directly to the one in Grandma's hand." The line was given to me, so there is still a need to make this trip? This is a different way to give a gift to the grandfather. Since it is the uncle's wish, I will accept it for the grandfather. As for the return gift, I remember The second cousin has a talent for reading, let him come to the north to learn from a teacher, and we will give him a beam to fix it! Besides—”

Speaking of this, Lin Wan smiled lightly on her face, looked up at Lu Junzhao, her eyes were radiant, and coughed in a soft and low voice: "The second cousin is from the Sun family, since the old man has sued him, why don't you invite him A trip to the north? If you can go to the academy in Weiyuan City to teach the younger generation, that would be the best. With the former chief assistant of the cabinet and Guozijian Jijiu sitting in the town, the students in the north will flock to it."

Lu Junzhao put his arms around Rana's waist, and lowered his head to touch Lin Wan's forehead lightly. The tenderness in his eyes was like an endless spring, flowing softly, making people intoxicated.

"Ah Wan, we can always think of one place." The voice was deep but gentle, shallow, with a pleasant smile.

"Well, of course, I am your daughter-in-law, and we have a good understanding." Lin Wan smiled brightly, her eyes were warm and bright, like the winter sun, soaking into people's hearts, instantly warming her whole body.

The corners of Lu Junzhao's mouth raised unconsciously, he lowered his head and touched Lin Wan's lips, and then covered them again, protruding the tip of his tongue, gently tossing and turning, touching it carefully, as if treating a treasure, slowly and gently curling Lin Wan's lips. Wan's tongues dance together, revealing a thick lingering tenderness.

After a while, Lin Wan blushed, leaned softly in Lu Junzhao's arms to breathe, and heard Lu Junzhao chuckle in a low voice: "The port on the Liancheng side has been completed, just wait for the spring to melt the ice. Merchant ships and sea ships can pass through. Xu Kaiyan sent a letter, saying that in the past six months, the number of merchants and newly opened shops across the city has increased by [-]% compared to previous years."

Seeing that Lin Wan blinked his eyes, Lu Junzhao lowered his head and rubbed the tip of Lin Wan's nose, and said with a gentle smile, "There are a lot of general affairs in the north, not just business, there are many more things in the future. You have to take care of it." There are also a few staff members missing in the inner treasury and the palace. There are a few people available from the Shi family and the Zhao family."

The look in Lin Wan's eyes stagnated for a while, and then suddenly lit up again, she raised her head and kissed Lu Junzhao's chin, nodded and smiled, "I see, but there are fewer of these two families alone. Longchuan Mansion, Dingbei Road and Hepingliang Mansion together are not small. Isn’t Brother Wei still in the north? If he is willing to give in, why don’t you invite him?”

Lu Junzhao hummed, paused, and looked at Lin Wan again, his eyes were gentle and delicate, and his voice was deep and firm: "At the other side of the inner library, you don't have to worry too much. Ah Wan, you are my wife, don't worry about it." Look at those. The Shi family and the Zhao family are both big names in Pingliang Mansion. Mr. Zhao is a smart man, and the Shi family participated in the shares of Haichuan..."

"Junzhao," Lin Wan raised his head and kissed the corner of Lu Junzhao's mouth, interrupting Lu Junzhao's words. There was tenderness and lingering affection in his bright black eyes. He stared at Lu Junzhao's eyes and murmured in a low voice. , "Erlang, I know you're doing it for my own good, I know it all... Brother Wei likes to do business and has knowledge, it's better..."
