I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

Lin Jin pursed her lips and tried not to laugh: "Let's not talk about this for now. How is Chunzao? Are you still keeping her locked up?"

"When did I lock her up?" Song Shiqiu felt that there was something wrong with what Lin Jin said. Apart from locking Chunzao up behind the plum courtyard at the beginning, he had never kept her locked up again.

"She said that every time she went out, there were a bunch of people following her and staring at her, just like a prisoner." Lin Jin touched her nose. Actually, she thought this was not so bad, but she didn't know how many people Song Shiqiu wanted to follow Chunzao.

Song Shiqiu raised his chin slightly, as if it was true: "This is to save her life. Does she think everyone can tolerate her outrageous behavior?"

Besides, whenever Chunzao went out, he would have to pay the bills of the Prime Minister's Mansion. There is no such comfortable prisoner in the world.

"Hmm..." Lin Jin felt that it made sense, but it was a bit too much. "Not everyone would care about such details. Where do so many viewers come from, and why are they staring at Chunzao all the time?"

"Oh? It seems that you have forgotten your original situation." Song Shiqiu reminded Lin Jin. If Chunzao's words and deeds were just a little bit against the rules, it would be nothing. However, Chunzao did not seem to be in accordance with the rules in any way.

If you open your mouth, you might offend half of the capital.

Lin Jin coughed twice: "I was very restrained at that time!"

Can you please forgive the curiosity of a country boy who has never seen the world and suddenly came to a completely unfamiliar era?

"Indeed, if you were like Chunzao, I would probably send you back as a lunatic." Song Shiqiu's face showed a little more smile.

"Well, let's turn the page, let's just let it go. Just pretend that I didn't ask." Lin Jin felt like she had been hit by a brush with frustration. She simply wanted to ask about Chunzao, but she didn't expect it to be like this.

In fact, Song Shiqiu has really done his best. If Chunzao were in someone else's hands, she would have become a knife and would have been discarded once the blade was cut.

Although Song Shiqiu did not use Chunzao, he did not do anything excessive. If it were her, she would really prefer to be a stable parasite rather than a mindless tool.

Those who are united by power will become estranged when the power is gone.

"Why are you asking this? Are you going to reason with me for a little girl?" Song Shiqiu was helpless. It wasn't the first or second time that Lin Jin had always been like this.

"Nothing, I just thought that she was just a little girl, and I was afraid that she would be in a bad mood and depressed if she was trapped every day." Since Lin Jin knew that Chunzao was not locked up, there was nothing to worry about. "She is just a little girl, what's wrong with you having a little patience?"

"If she were smarter and less naive, I would be patient."

"What's wrong with a little girl being naive? She doesn't need to do the same as you every day..." Lin Jin pouted unhappily, then shut up appropriately and smiled, "I'm just making an analogy, not trying to drag you down."

Song Shiqiu didn't take it to heart: "You really don't want this divorce letter?"

"Why, I must take it now, and you won't give it to me later." Lin Jin deliberately joked, "Then you can give me the divorce letter later, I'm not picky."

She has so many people.

Song Shiqiu shook his sleeves angrily, not wanting to pay any more attention to her. He turned around and was about to leave, but his arm was grabbed. When he turned around, he saw Lin Jin smiling with joy.

"Don't leave yet, I still have something to say." Lin Jin laughed dully, thinking that the jokes were almost over and it was time to get down to business, "Why are you suddenly angry?"

"I told you, just say whatever you want to say." Song Shiqiu didn't know how she could still ask why he was suddenly angry, "Why do you always tease me?"

"Nonsense! When did I ever tease you? I... did tease you a couple of times, but I swear to God, I definitely didn't tease you." Lin Jin held up four fingers as a guarantee, but the expression didn't last long before he started laughing again.

Song Shiqiu looked at the four insincere fingers, reached out to fold her little finger, glared at her slightly and was about to leave.

“Hey, hey, hey!” Lin Jin quickly pulled him back, “I’m serious, there’s something going on.”

Song Shiqiu glanced at her, and seeing that she looked serious, he relaxed his expression and said, "Speak."

Lin Jin scratched his face awkwardly: "Wait a minute, I'll think about how to tell you, let me think about it."

"Since it's serious business, there's nothing to plan about." Song Shiqiu said this, but he still stood there waiting for her.

"I have to think about where to start. Why are you so anxious?" Lin Jin straightened his head and glared at him. "Are you the only one who can scare people?"

Lin Jin was thinking about how to talk to Song Shiqiu, but the more she thought about it, the more upset she felt.

Song Shiqiu looked at Lin Jin who was walking back and forth, watching her go from pondering at the beginning to gradually feeling annoyed, and finally glaring at him directly: "What's the matter?"

Lin Jin looked at Song Shiqiu angrily and pressed the corners of his lips: "Forget it, let's just leave it at that. I won't say any more. I'm too embarrassed to say it."

He was just about to say that Lin Jin had something else that she didn't dare to say, but before he could finish his words, Lin Jin left in a hurry, as if she was afraid of being stopped by him.

Lin Jin was halfway there when she suddenly thought of something and had to go back to find Song Shiqiu: "Um... I'm afraid Lianyi won't recognize me in my current state. I'm afraid that I'll scare them."

She felt like she was sick and it was so embarrassing.

Song Shiqiu had no choice but to take Lin Jin to the nearest bamboo courtyard, and then asked someone to prepare hot water, and then asked someone to go to the Bikong Courtyard to get Lin Jin's clothes: "Go back after you have changed."

Lin Jin has been on the road for the past month. Although she can occasionally rest and take a shower when staying in an inn, she never washes very cleanly. Now she feels like she can rub mud out of her body.

With the help of her maid, she finally took a clean bath, as if all the dust she had accumulated along the way was washed away.

Lin Jin felt that his confused mind had become much clearer, and he had the answer to the problem that had been bothering him just now. He immediately asked someone to bring him paper and pen.

She handed the written letter to the maid: "Send it to the study room for the master."

The maid replied "yes" and went to find Song Shiqiu with the letter.

Song Shiqiu heard that Lin Jin had someone deliver a letter to him, so he asked someone to bring the letter in: "It's all at home. I want to see if there's anything I can't say to him face to face."

He unfolded the letter and saw two cold and lonely lines of poetry on it. The dozen or so words made him ponder for a long time.

If flowers are compared to human affairs,

Flowers and human affairs go hand in hand.

Song Shiqiu looked up at the maid who delivered the letter and asked, "Is this really written by Madam?"

"It is absolutely true. I dare not forge it." The maid thought there was something wrong and knelt down quickly. "I saw Madam write it with my own eyes. There is absolutely no mistake."

"Go down and find the housekeeper to receive your reward." Song Shiqiu waved his hand, and his words made the maid kowtow three times.

Song Shiqiu put the letter and the imperial edict in a box, wondering whether it was what he thought it meant, but then he felt that he was probably overthinking it, because Lin Jin was different from the girls here.

Maybe this is really just the literal meaning of the poem, and I am simply lamenting about what happened this time.

He took out the letter and read it a few more times. The more he read it, the more he felt that it was true. However, he was still somewhat unwilling to accept it. He paced back and forth in the study, thinking about what Lin Jin meant and what Lin Jin had not finished saying today.

Song Shiqiu was struggling in the study for most of the day. Seeing that it was time for lunch, he decided to go find Lin Jin to ask for clarification.

Lin Jin was just about to eat when she heard the servant announce that Song Shiqiu had arrived. She frowned in confusion and looked at Song Shiqiu who had walked in: "Why are you here at this time?"

Don’t you know that it’s wrong to disturb others while they are eating?

Song Shiqiu paused and said hesitantly, "I... shouldn't come here?"

"If you come over now, should I call you to eat or not?" Lin Jin had never thought that Song Shiqiu would come over, so she just cooked a dish for one person. "I would feel bad if I don't call you, and I won't be full if I call you."
