The county horse is a medicine jar

Lin Sishen was soaking in warm water comfortably, and after a while, there was a hasty knock on the door.

"Lin Sishen, get out of here quickly."

The person outside the door was Lin Sishen's own mother, the second in command of the general's mansion, and the first wife of General Lin Zheng, Liu Qingyun.

Lin Sishen's maid, Mo Zhu, stood by in fear, not daring to show her breath. Seeing Madam's posture, I am afraid that the young master's ears will be swollen again today.

Liu Qingyun was dressed in a blue robe, with her hair tied up in a bun as a woman.She looks pretty and delicate, she looks like a Jiangnan girl who is gentle and dignified, but her eyes are fierce, and she keeps knocking on the door with her sleeves rolled up.

It's the posture of a tigress.

Lin Sishen crawled out of the water, didn't care to wipe off the water droplets on his body, quickly put on his clothes, with his hair loose, and half-hopped to the door, and opened the door while fastening his belt.

As soon as the door opened, Liu Qingyun rushed in aggressively, and slapped the door shut.

Then she turned her head, jumped up, skillfully screwed on Lin Sishen's ear, which was much taller than hers, pulled her off, and shouted beside her ear: "Good you little bastard, how dare you run into a brothel again!"

Lin Sishen's nose was sore from being twisted, and he didn't dare to move, he could only look up at Liu Qingyun, his wet eyes looked at her wrongedly: "Mother, it hurts."

Liu Qingyun saw that Lin Sishen's clothes were disheveled and her black hair was hanging loose, she looked like a charming daughter, so she hurriedly let go of her hand: "Hurry up and tie up your hair so that no one can see it."

"Oh." Lin Sishen rubbed his ears, and neatly held the hair bun, and with two strokes, he kept the hair full of blue hair in order.

Although he still looks like a girly little boy, but at least he looks a little more heroic.

Liu Qingyun trimmed the neckline for her, and she couldn't help sighing: "Your haircut is really well practiced, you don't need help from others, it's fast and neat."

Lin Sishen touched his red ears, and secretly rolled his eyes: "Mother's ability to pinch people's ears is also practiced very well. It is both accurate and painful."

Liu Qingyun touched her red ears, and complained: "Why did you go to the brothel again today, your father just came back in a huff, bumped into the old lady and contradicted her a few words. Now he is being punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. When he comes out at night, he must peel off your skin."

Lin Sishen smiled, she didn't care about this matter, she lowered her eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Today, I saw the Ninth Prince outside the Ningxiang Building."

Liu Qingyun's face turned pale: "So, Princess Qingyang has also returned to Chang'an?"

Lin Sishen nodded, "Yes."

Liu Qingyun sighed, and sat at the table with a look of bewilderment: "Then what to do, Princess Qingyang has also reached the age of marriage, and the emperor will definitely order you to get married as soon as possible when you come back this time."

Lin Sishen remained silent, seeing Liu Qingyun's expression became more and more sad, she sighed and squatted beside her, comforting in a low voice: "Mother, I will find a way to solve this matter, don't think too much about it."

Liu Qingyun regretted it back then: "How could I not think too much about it? Back then, I was so stupid that I dared to tell such a lie. It has been so hard for you to pretend to be a man for so many years, and maybe your father and your eldest brother will also be implicated."

After repenting, she hurriedly grabbed Lin Sishen's hand and said, "How about, mother, tell your father to ask your father to ask the emperor, maybe it's because of your father's countless military exploits for the state of Jin. The emperor will spare our general's mansion."

Lin Sishen shook his head: "It's probably okay to say it a few years ago, but now I say it, I'm afraid..."

Before she finished speaking, Liu Qingyun hurriedly asked: "What's the matter now?"

Lin Sishen sighed softly: "Two years ago, the prince and the second prince were forming cliques, and Dad chose the prince. The emperor has been very dissatisfied with the prince for the past year and suppressed him several times. If he tells the truth at this time, plus For the matter of bestowing a marriage, I am afraid that the emperor will take this opportunity to punish the prince severely."

Liu Qingyun actually knew a thing or two about the court affairs. Lin Zheng also told her that the prince's attitude is modest and polite, not as aggressive and sharp as the second prince.

Thinking about it, Lin Zheng has long been inclined to the prince.

Now that the crown prince and several princes are getting older, their desire to compete for favor and succession is becoming more and more obvious.As a general of the Jin Kingdom, Lin Zheng was devoted to the country and loyal to the emperor, so he shouldn't have had close relationships with any prince.

Lin Zheng knows how to fight and the art of war, but he has never been able to fully understand the undercurrents of the court.

The emperor liked his reckless temperament, but since he became more and more intimate with the prince, he also treated him in the cold.

He didn't see it, but Lin Sishen could see it clearly.

She also persuaded Lin Zheng by insinuating.But Lin Zheng ignored the wind, and didn't think about the words of this unworthy son at all.

As Liu Qingyun spoke, she actually cried: "Could it be possible, you really want to marry Princess Qingyang. Don't tell me you can't hide it, it will ruin your life, mother, right?" hold you."

"Mother, what do you think I'm doing in brothels every day?" Lin Sishen helplessly raised his hand to wipe away her tears with his sleeve.

Liu Qingyun was crying, and grabbed Lin Sishen's sleeve to wipe away her tears: "Mother knows that even if you go to the brothel, you can't do anything."

"It's not that we can't do it." Lin Sishen twitched the corners of her lips to retort, seeing Liu Qingyun raised her eyes in doubt, she quickly changed the subject.

"My bad reputation has been carefully accumulated over the years. The Ninth Prince is also a hot-tempered person, and he loves Princess Qingyang very much. Today he saw my father go to Ningxiang Tower to arrest me. I guess according to his temper, tomorrow I should I hurriedly begged to see the emperor and asked for the dissolution of the engagement."

Seeing her swearing, Liu Qingyun looked at her with red eyes: "Really?"

"Really, Princess Qingyang will not marry such an ignorant dude like me. What's more, I have already spread the news. I am not good at that, and she will not marry me."

"which aspect?"

"mother..."

+ + + + +

The residence of the Nine Princes.

Since returning to the mansion, the Ninth Prince has been losing his temper, wanting to throw whatever he sees is not pleasing to the eye.

Shen Qinghou couldn't stop him, so he could only wink at the old housekeeper, and asked him to fetch some not-so-valuable porcelain vases and bring them up, so that the Ninth Prince could throw them all at once.

The Ninth Prince threw the pieces all over the floor, exhausted his breath, and finally sat down panting.

Shen Qinghou, who was standing at the side door, came over with a teacup and put it by his hand.

The Ninth Prince was holding the teacup and wanted to drop it again, but seeing the calm and breezy Shen Qinghou beside him, fearing that the fragments would hurt her, he suppressed his anger and put down his hand, and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

"I didn't expect that the dignified general of the state of Jin would be able to discipline such an out-and-out dude. You're talking about him. He dared to go to the brothel in broad daylight. What kind of dignity is this? How can he be a son of an aristocratic family?" Learning and cultivation."

Shen Qinghou is dressed in white clothes like a fairy, on top of her delicate face, her expression is always cold and indifferent, making it difficult for people to see through her thoughts.

She didn't care about Lin Sishen's going to the brothel, she just reminded softly: "My father is doing something wrong today."

The Ninth Prince slapped his hands, but was still aggrieved: "Father is going to seek justice for you, that little son of a bitch, he is not worthy of you. If you want to marry this king's daughter, you must be the most beautiful girl in the world. A good man, both civil and military, gentle and refined, dignified and humble, he, Lin Sishen, has nothing to do with him other than being a man."

"Father, my daughter knows that you are my daughter complaining, but you just returned to Beijing today, and you didn't arrive at the mansion, so you argued with General Lin at the gate of the brothel. All the civil and military ministers in the court tomorrow should know about this."

"Father hasn't been back to the capital for many years. This time, the emperor's uncle urgently called you back to Beijing. It may be difficult to return to Qingzhou. If you want to live in the capital for a long time, you can't be laughed at as soon as you come. My daughter thinks that the king's actions today are inappropriate. "

Although the Ninth Prince has a strong temper, he is not stupid.Otherwise, among the brothers who were executed by the emperor for a reason, he would be the one more.

He knew that his daughter was smart and smart since she was a child, and everything she said and did was for his own good.But as long as it has something to do with Shen Qinghou's lifelong events, even Brother Huang is not afraid of offending him.

He sighed, looking at the slim daughter who had already come out, his expression softened instantly: "Wu'er, whether you are a laughing stock or being ridiculed by others, this king doesn't care."

"You are the only daughter of this king, the jewel in the palm of this king's palm. The biggest wish of this king in this life is to see you get married, marry someone who loves you and dotes on you, and the children and grandchildren are safe and happy. In this life, the father will be happy." No regrets."

The words of the Ninth Prince made Shen Qinghou's heart tremble. Her father loved her very much since she was a child, and to her father, she was the only person in the world who cared about her.

She took the initiative to hold the hand of the Ninth Prince, and tears flashed across her cold eyes: "Father, it is already a daughter's luck to be your daughter in this life."

Ninth Prince's eyes were moist, and the dignified seven-foot man wanted to cry because of his daughter's words.

He raised his hand and touched the corners of his eyes, and then seemed to think of something: "Tomorrow, the king will go to court, and he just told the emperor to let you break the engagement with the general's mansion. That little bastard Lin Sishen is not worthy of my king's treasure." daughter."

"Father." Shen Qinghou was a little hesitant. She lowered her eyes and bit her red lips. After a moment of silence, she raised her eyes to look at the Ninth Prince, and said in a heavy voice, "My daughter doesn't want to break up with Lin Sishen." engagement."

The Ninth Prince was stunned, and blushed: "Why, that little bastard...but he goes to brothels every day, he is not a good guy."

"Daughter..." Shen Qinghou was a little speechless, but in order not to let her father break the engagement for her, she could only turn away and whisper: "My daughter likes him."

"Like it?" The Ninth Prince repeated in a murmur, then jumped up and went around the hall twice like crazy, his face turned red and then green, and then turned blue and black: "You haven't seen him in ten years." How could you, how could you like him."

Shen Qinghou looked up at him, with a smile on his cold face: "Father, have you forgotten, I used to live in the General's Mansion for a year when I was young."

The Ninth Prince couldn't figure it out even more, his face was wrinkled into a ball, he wanted to be angry and wanted to cry, his voice was trembling and wronged: "You were only so old at that time, that little bastard was like a sick monkey, thin and short, not even manly at all, yet She's as delicate as a little girl, what's there to like."

Shen Qingwan's tone was still firm: "Father, my daughter has been attached to him since she was a child, and there is no one else in her heart."
