Lin Wan heard Lin Zhihuai mention the matter of choosing a princess in the clan and family, thought about it for a while, raised her eyes slightly, looked directly into Lin Zhihuai's eyes, and said solemnly: "Father, Lin Huixin, the third daughter of the Lin family's big house, has been to the mansion before, Wan'er thinks that Sister Huixin's talent and temperament are very suitable for this important responsibility, Wan'er decided to help her privately, please don't blame her father."

Lin Zhihuai was very satisfied with Lin Wan's frank confession, although he already knew about this matter and did not object to it, but he was still very happy that Lin Wan could say it. Lin Zhihuai nodded and said, "Although the Lin clan did not fulfill their responsibility to help their father and your grandmother at the beginning, they did not do anything to hurt us, and they did not come to seek protection for their father over the years, and they can be regarded as realizing their mistakes back then." After all, they are all members of the same clan, so help if you can, Wan'er can be her own master, and it is not appropriate for her father to come forward, otherwise it may be self-defeating. ”

Lin Wan smiled slightly, nodded and said, "My daughter understands that my daughter is only secretly helping each other, and I will never let the emperor think that we are cultivating power." ”

Lin Zhihuai nodded with satisfaction, her daughter was so transparent, it was really effortless to talk to her, and instructed: "Wan'er should be careful in everything, you have been in the limelight now, and you will inevitably cause a lot of trouble, go out with more guards, if your grandfather does not have enough people for you, your father can also arrange some more manpower for you." ”

Lin Wan shook her head and said, "No need, father, Wan'er will be careful." If her father didn't have other instructions, Wan'er would have retired. ”

Lin Zhihuai hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Your mother, are you okay?"

Lin Wan raised her head, saw remorse and helplessness in Lin Zhihuai's eyes, her heart softened, and she comforted softly: "Mother is fine at present, if father is free, you can go to see your mother, but if your mother doesn't want to see you, please respect her wishes." ”

Lin Zhihuai saw that there was still room for turning around in this matter, so he couldn't help but light up his eyes, nodded and said, "Well, for my father to understand, go ahead." ”

Lin Wan bowed and exited the study.

Lin Wan and Qingtong walked on the way back to the Autumn Garden, lowered their heads slightly, frowned slightly, and were very entangled in their hearts. Now it seems that Lin Zhihuai still has some affection for his mother, but compared with Zhao Qingpeng, it is not enough. But how can we explain the matter of feelings? In the mother's heart, is it happier to be with the husband of the prodigal son, or happier with the childhood sweetheart who has not changed his mind?

Alas, let the mother worry about these things, maybe the mother has already decided in her heart and is not worried at all? Lin Wan couldn't help but shake her head, secretly laughing at herself for being too worried.

Qingtong saw Lin Wan sigh for a while, shake his head for a while, and laugh out loud for a while, some of the second monks were confused, but Qingtong was not a talkative person, and followed Lin Wan silently, without saying a word, thinking that as long as the young lady smiled, it would be fine.

When Lin Wan returned to the Autumn Garden, it was already past noon, Zhao Liniang had already had lunch, and she was sitting under the osmanthus tree at the moment tracing the patterns, with Chen's mother and Cui Pei by her side.

Lin Wan slowly walked up to Zhao Liniang and called softly: "Mother." ”

Zhao Liniang raised her head and saw that her beloved daughter was back, she smiled slightly, her gentle eyebrows and eyes were full of love, shining into Lin Wan's dull heart like a warm sun.

Cui Pei hurriedly stood up and gave up her seat, Lin Wan smiled, sat next to Zhao Liniang, gently rubbed Zhao Liniang's shoulder, and was tired of it for a while before picking up the drawings on the table and looking at it.

The drawings of a variety of flowers and birds patterns are lifelike, the color matching also reflects a variety of different styles, there are many hairpin ring shapes, some dignified and noble, some pretty and lovely, although the change is not much, but each one has a novel small highlights, very suitable for the ladies and ladies of the family in Beijing to wear.

Lin Wan couldn't help but secretly exclaim, no wonder the business of the Liying Xiangge had been very good for so many years. It turns out that Zhao Liniang's painting and design are so good, no wonder she was known as one of the two talented women in Beijing back then. Although Tang Yinger's design may be more fresh and refined, in terms of public acceptance and consideration of details, Zhao Liniang's design is better.

Lin Wan suddenly thought that if Tang Ying'er was to study with Zhao Liniang for a few days, wouldn't it be of great help to her? Thinking of this, Lin Wan smiled and asked, "Mother, do you know Tang Ying'er of Tang's shopkeeper's house?"

Zhao Liniang thought for a while, nodded and said, "I hugged Ying'er when I was a child, but I haven't seen her for many years." ”

Lin Wan said with a smile: "Mother, my daughter has seen the pattern designed by Ying'er before, and I think she has a lot of ideas. ”

Zhao Liniang glanced at Lin Wan dotingly, waiting for her next step.

Lin Wan smiled, and then said, "Mother, it's better for you to accept Ying'er as an apprentice." Mother has such a good craft, and her daughter can't learn it, so let Ying'er learn it, and the business of Liying Xiangge will not have to worry about it in the future. If the business is too good to be busy, you can also open a branch. ”

Zhao Liniang's jade finger lightly touched Lin Wan's forehead, and scolded with a smile: "You, let's talk about it, it's not that you want to be lazy." ”

"Mother, have you agreed?" Lin Wan grabbed Zhao Liniang's finger, shook it, and sprinkled coquettishly.

Zhao Liniang was so dizzy that she shook her head, and nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, my mother agrees." But just accept the apprentice, let her bring her design when she is free, I can take a look and make suggestions. ”

Lin Wan nodded happily and said, "Well, then when Lao Chen's mother goes to deliver these patterns, let's talk to Ying'er by the way." ”

Mother Chen hurriedly stood up and responded, "Yes, Miss, Madame is also tired, I will accompany Madame to rest first, and then I will send someone to handle this matter in a while." ”

Lin Wan also hurriedly stood up, and together with Chen's mother, helped Zhao Liniang to walk to the dormitory.

After Zhao Liniang fell asleep, Lin Wan returned to the West Wing, ate a few bites of snacks, and with the help of Fluttershy, changed her pajamas, and after a simple cleaning, went to bed.

Lin Wan hasn't slept well lately, but he slept very heavily this afternoon, and when he woke up, it was already the end of the day. Lin Wan changed her clothes and called Gale to come out for questioning.

Gale Feng looked serious, bowed down and said: "Miss, last night, Wu Heng committed suicide in prison, and a fire broke out in Changxing Tower and Wu Heng's mansion, which burned cleanly, and there was no survivor." The old lady has reported to the emperor this morning and closed the case of the Fu family burning dozens of people to death overnight. There is also evidence in the case of the fire in Changxinglou and Wufu that it was the wife of Wufu who first burned Changxinglou, and then returned to the mansion to commit suicide in fear of crime. Although there were some clues pointing to the prince before, because there was no conclusive evidence and could not shake the foundation of the prince, now it can only stop here. Last night, it was supposed to be the Seventh Prince's rotation, but because the Seventh Prince was injured, Vice General Li Ping and Li temporarily led the team to patrol the city.
