I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

Xing'er looked at the solar lights in confusion. It was still daytime, and she didn't understand what they were used for. "Girl, are these strange things used to ward off evil spirits?"

The evil-suppressing device should not be facing outside the door, why is it facing downwards?

"No, this is a lamp." Lin Jin smiled mysteriously. This was the first time she took out this solar lamp. "You will know it later."

After Lin Jin finished her work, she went to Yipinzhai with Xing'er to buy some date paste cake to take back. She planned to take a good rest in the next few days and prepare for a good new year. Although they couldn't be reunited this year, it was better to have a festive New Year and pray for a good omen.

As the year draws to a close, many people are buying New Year's goods and new clothes. New lanterns and couplets are hung at the doors of every household, and there are many more people on the streets than usual.

Lin Jin got off the carriage and heard that Liu Zhengqing was in the front hall. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "What is he doing in the front hall?"

I just happened to tell him about the blind date I've arranged for him during the New Year.

Without thinking much, she went straight to the front hall. Besides Liu Zhengqing, there was another person in the front hall. She looked at the unfamiliar man and made sure she had never seen him before. He did not have any symbol of status on him, so she could only smile and nod.

Lin Jin turned his gaze to Liu Zhengqing: "Brother."

"He came to you to apologize." Liu Zhengqing nodded slightly. Feng Lai had already been punished by His Majesty, but he still had to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion. After all, Feng Yuan dug up Song Shixia's grave.

Feng Lai stood up immediately upon seeing Lin Jin and bowed to her, "Madam, the second young lady's grave was destroyed and it was my fault for disturbing her. I came here today to apologize. I don't ask you to forgive her, but only to calm down. This is a landscape painting scroll I found by chance. It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

Lin Jin knew who he was, and the smile on her face disappeared: "You are her brother. Not only is she well-educated, but she is also very courageous. She even dared to move the coffin of my sister Shi Xia. Your Feng family is really full of talented people."

In the cold winter, Feng Lai was sweating all over. He smiled and said, "She didn't know her place and offended the Madam and the Second Miss. I will apologize for her."

Lin Jin rarely vented her anger on others, but she was not happy with Feng Lai at the moment: "Apologize, huh, take your landscape scroll and leave, it's not necessary. If the elders in your family can't discipline their children, don't let them out."

She does not forgive this mistake, and there is nothing worth forgiving.

Lin Jin didn't care about Feng Lai's reaction and asked the butler to send the guest away.

Liu Zhengqing looked at her angry expression and said helplessly, "It's all over. The place to relocate Song Er's grave has been chosen. We just need to wait for a good day. Why are you still angry?"

"I'm just angry. These people offended Sister Shi Xia. How can I not be angry?" Lin Jin couldn't help but look at him sarcastically. "Brother, you are not usually so easy to talk to. If you think that I am not doing this well and hurting the feelings of your colleagues, you can just say it directly."

"What kind of relationship do I have with him as a colleague?" Liu Zhengqing was even more amused by her. He was worried that she would get angry and get sick. "Every time we encounter something concerning Song Er, you are like this. There is no room for negotiation at all."

Lin Jin pursed her lips slightly, changed the subject, and pretended to be serious: "Brother, I have something to tell you."

"What's wrong?" Liu Zhengqing was frightened by Lin Jin's expression and thought something big had happened. "What happened?"

"Brother, you are not young anymore, it's time for you to get married, so I plan to arrange a blind date for you." Lin Jin couldn't hold back and burst out laughing at the end, "The princess said that she has a good friend who is the right age and a nice person, so she wants you two to meet each other."

Liu Zhengqing: “…”

"Nonsense! I'm your brother. Why do you need to worry about my marriage?" Liu Zhengqing's handsome face sank slightly.

"You are already in your twenties and still haven't started a family. Your parents have passed away. Who will take care of things for you? If I don't care, then who will?" Lin Jin said as a matter of course. It wouldn't be her fault anyway. "I am concerned about you, otherwise I wouldn't say so much."

"Forget it. Don't let the girl go on a wasted trip." Liu Zhengqing directly rejected the idea. He didn't plan to get married. "It's better not to do anything rash."

"Just meet her, brother. You don't have anyone in love. What if you fall in love with that girl, right?" Although Lin Jin didn't think it would work, what if the other party happened to be the one he liked? It would be a marriage.

Liu Zhengqing wanted to say something, but in the end he seemed a little depressed: "No need, I don't like it."

Lin Jin narrowed his eyes suspiciously and walked from his side to the front of him: "Brother, tell me the truth, what you and Zhining said were not lies, but what you said to me was a lie, right? You really have a lover."

"No." Liu Zhengqing denied it flatly, "When have you ever seen me getting close to any girl?"

"How would I know? I'm not following you all the time." Lin Jin didn't buy his tricks and was not so easy to fool. "Why did you tell Fang Zhining the truth but not me? Who is your crush?"

The more Lin Jin thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Who on earth was so secretive and had a different story for each person?

Liu Zhengqing looked at her unhappily: "What nonsense! I've already told you that you don't have a sweetheart, why don't you believe me?"

"Because you're weird. If you didn't, how could you be so sure that you don't like that girl? You must have known it in your heart." The more Lin Jin thought about it, the more he felt that it was true. It was estimated that Liu Zhengqing couldn't reveal the other person's identity, so he kept saying it like this. "Who do you like?"

It definitely can’t be Lin Lin, then who is it?

Liu Zhengqing took a deep breath: "No one, no one."

"It must be!" Seeing him like this, Lin Jin became more certain of her own thoughts, "Fang Zhining?"

"No." Liu Zhengqing's expression almost showed disdain. "Fang Zhining already has a fiancé, don't mess around with him. Be careful or the young master of Xuanshuang Villa will come looking for you. You can't beat him."

Lin Jin quickly covered her mouth. She really didn’t know this and didn’t mean to offend. “Who do you like then?”

These are the only girls that often appear around Liu Zhengqing.

"You can't like a married woman, right?" Lin Jin hissed. It's not impossible. Wasn't he devoted to Lin Lin after she married Xia Min?

No! She must pull Liu Zhengqing back from this wrong path!

But before she could continue, she was hit on the head: "Oops."

This was the first time that Liu Zhengqing used such a heavy hand. He snorted coldly, "Nonsense! There are so many women in the world. Why would I fall in love with a married woman? Am I a lowly person?"

Lin Jin smiled awkwardly: "That's good, that's good. Then who do you like?"

Who could make Liu Zhengqing remain so silent?

"...You have to ask?" Liu Zhengqing was helpless about her attitude of getting to the bottom of things.

"You said you didn't lie to me." Lin Jin puffed her lips, admitting that she had lied to him. "Yes, I have to ask you. Tell me now."

"No, he's not a very important person."

Lin Jin: “???”

Is this person teasing her?

Liu Zhengqing looked at her dimly: "What's the use of telling me? How many people do you know?"

Lin Jin's neck stiffened: "I can go and ask around!"

It's not like she doesn't have a mouth, so why can't she ask?

"You won't be able to find out." Liu Zhengqing snorted and laughed, as if he was mocking her wild imagination. "Okay, stop caring about these things. If I want to get married, I will naturally get married. If I don't want to get married, it will be useless even if you find me all the girls in the capital."
