Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 41 Roots

  Changshun's face was full of worry: "Do you know what the prince did today? He even climbed the wall!"

   "Climbing the top of the wall?" Chang Ning looked strange, "Isn't it the wall that separates the General's Mansion?"

   "That's right!" Changshun slapped his thigh, "Do you think the prince has learned badly from the second girl Lin?"

  Changning nodded solemnly: "It's because of bad learning."

   "How can we do this? The two families live so close together. As the saying goes, those who are close to the vermillion are red and those who are close to the ink are black."

   "Changshun." Changning patted Changshun's shoulder, "There is also a saying that good medicine is good for the disease, and good advice is good for the ear."

   "You mean—"

  Changning's expression was solemn: "We follow the prince every day, even if the prince is annoyed, we should persuade us more."

   "You're right, I think so too." With the support of his friends, Changshun's eyes lit up.

  Changning smiled: "If you can think so, I'm relieved."

   Lin Hao just went out the next day when he met Qi Shuo.

   "The prince is going out too." Lin Hao politely replied to the young man who greeted him with a smile.

   Recently, I have met Prince Jing quite a few times.

   "Actually, I was specifically waiting for Miss Lin."

  Lin Hao stomped his feet and looked surprised: "Is there something the prince wants to do with me?"

  Qi Shuo pointed to the teahouse in front: "If it is convenient for Miss Lin, let's go to the teahouse to chat."

   Lin Hao pondered for a while and nodded.

  The two entered the private room of the tea house, and across the scent of tea, Lin Haohao asked Qi Shuo, "If you have anything to do with the prince, please tell me."

   "It's still yesterday that Miss Lin was followed."

   "Oh?" Lin Hao held the celadon teacup with a curious expression on his face.

   "That person should be Miss Lin Er who was eyeing only yesterday. If Miss Lin wants to find out, she'd better analyze where she went and who she saw yesterday."

  Lin Hao frowned: "Yesterday... I just wandered around to relax, without any special purpose, and I didn't meet any special people."

   Qi Shuo lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on the celadon teacup.

   The tea water is clear, the buds and leaves are undulating, just like his mood at this time.

   He seems to be meddling.

   Hearing him mention what happened yesterday, Lin Er girl was only curious, but not nervous.

   A person being stalked by a stranger should not be this kind of reaction, unless you know the identity of the stalker and you are not worried or afraid of being hurt by the other party.

   Miss Lin was so perfunctory about what happened yesterday, obviously she didn't want him to intervene.

   Qi Shuo put down the teacup: "Second Miss Lin still pays attention to safety. If you run into trouble, you can ask me for help."

   "Thank you, Prince." Seeing that Qi Shuo didn't get to the bottom of it, Lin Hao was secretly relieved.

   Neighbors are too enthusiastic, which is also a hassle.

   "Then don't disturb the second girl Lin." Qi Shuo got up.

  Lin Hao hesitated for a moment, then said, "If the prince encounters any trouble in the future, he can also ask me for help."

  Qi Shuo was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Then I'll thank Miss Lin first."

   After leaving the teahouse, in order to prevent the real person Mingxin from entering the sight of Prince Jing, Lin Hao gave up the idea of ​​going to Qiaotou and went to Changchun Street to hang out. When he returned, he brought a lot of things to his family in large and small bags.

   is not practical, but secondly, the key is that women like it at a glance.

  The days seemed to relax all of a sudden. After more than ten days, the old lady heard the news and couldn't help saying it in front of Lin Hao.

   "Pingjia Hou Shizi and the eldest girl of Huai'anbo House are engaged."

   "Huianbo Mansion?" Lin's brows wrinkled, "I remember that the current Mrs. Huai'anbo is a sequel. The eldest girl of Huai'anbo Mansion was born by the previous wife."

The old lady glanced at Lin Hao: "If it wasn't for Ah Hao knowing that the Prince of Pingjia Hou Shizi was of misconduct, I would have considered this marriage to be very good, and I would follow the world's praise to Mrs. Amber. The girl has a heart."

   Lin shi can't hear this the most now, and sneered: "Men really don't have a good thing. I still remember that Huai Amber and his previous wife were famous for their affection."

   Once a lady mentioned it in an envious tone, she was secretly unconvinced, thinking that her love with Wen Rugui was no worse than that of the Huai Amber couple.

   Now it seems, it's all a joke.

The old lady was still sensible, and she pondered: "Huai'anbo may not be clear. Pingjiahou's mansion is the highest, and the prince of Pingjiahou has not had a bad reputation. Anyone who looks at it thinks that this is a good school. Dearest."

   "Then Mrs. Wyambe was also kept in the dark?"

   "It doesn't matter." The corner of the old lady's mouth curled slightly, sarcastically, "This successor Huai Amber is Mrs. Pingjiahou's distant cousin, but many people don't know the relationship."

   When Mrs. Pingjiahou was still there many years ago, they had a good relationship, so they knew about it.

   Pingjiahou's house came to propose marriage that day, she was quite moved, and she also thought of her old friend.

   Mrs Lin gasped: "If that's the case, then Mrs. Wyambo is too vicious!"

  The old lady glanced at her daughter: "There are a few children who are not protected by their own mother, and there are a few who can be well."

   Lin's heart froze.

When    shut herself in the room, she had the idea of ​​giving up on herself.

   At the age of sixteen, she took Wen Rugui to heart with just one look. The more than 20 years of marrying him as wished, every day was practical and joyful.

   She never doubted the matter of growing old together, but unexpectedly, she was fatally struck by the person beside her.

   Her life collapsed at that moment.

   What pulled her back from the breakdown?

  Lin looked at Lin Hao.

   is Ah Hao's cry.

   With tears in his eyes, Lin Hao hugged Lin Hao and said, "Ah Hao, thanks to you, otherwise your elder sister would have jumped into the fire pit."

  Lin Hao was suddenly hugged by his mother, and his expression was a little stiff for a while.

  The old lady smiled and shook her head.

  I once thought Wanqing's straight-forward temperament was a headache, but now that I think about it, it's also a good thing, it's better than a meticulous person who presses sadness in his heart.

   After leaving the old lady and returning to Luoyingju, Lin Hao instructed Baozhu: "Bring me the post I received yesterday."

  Bob quickly took out a printed post from a drawer and gave it to Lin Hao.

  The invitation is exquisite and atmospheric. It is Qi Qiong, the master of the small county of Jingwangfu next door, who is going to hold a birthday banquet.

   Lin Hao didn't plan to go.

  The fact that Prince Jing's mansion was rejected for marriage was not long ago, and she was somewhat embarrassed to appear in front of Princess Jing.

  But now, she has changed her mind.

  The birthday banquet of the little county lord, Chen Yi, the eldest girl of Huai'anbo, should be there.

  At my grandmother's place, my mother said that thanks to her, my eldest sister was prevented from jumping into the fire pit. While she was happy for the eldest sister, her heart was a little heavy.

   Big sister didn't jump into the fire pit, so another girl was going to jump into the fire pit.

   Originally, Mrs. Chen would not marry the prince of Pingjiahou.

   She thought that it is not enough to let her sister avoid the fate of the inhuman being married. The source of the woman's misery is the Prince of Pingjiahou.

   Solving the root cause is the right way, otherwise it will just lead to misfortune.

   She wanted to take the opportunity of the little princess' birthday banquet to meet Miss Chen.
