Wang Jinling is a calm and self-possessed person. After the excitement and joy when they first met, Wang Jinling quickly returned to his elegant demeanor.
"There are no good things to entertain in this small land in the mountains, so don't mind Qingchen." Wang Jinling picked up the white jade teapot and poured a glass of water for Feng Qingchen.
If you look carefully, you will find that the eldest son's hand holding the teapot is trembling slightly, but when he turns around and hands the tea to Feng Qingchen, he doesn't show any signs of it. His gentle, jade-like eyes only show a slight smile and concentration.
Feng Qingchen was indeed thirsty. He drank all the water in the cup in one gulp. It was just a cup of water, but it had a sweet fragrance in his mouth, with a hint of sweetness. Feng Qingchen was no longer the child who knew nothing before. After drinking it, he understood
This water has a great background.
Feng Qingchen put down the cup and sighed: "I have ruined the spring water of Yushan Lake."
Yushan Lake is hundreds of miles away from the Imperial City, so the water must have been rushed here in the morning.
"No matter how good the spring water is, it is only for people to drink." Wang Jinling poured another glass for Feng Qingchen. He held the porcelain cup in his fair and slender hand, which made the porcelain cup look prettier than usual.
Feng Qingchen was stunned for a moment, took the cup and drank it all in one gulp. Seeing that Wang Jinling wanted to add water to her, Feng Qingchen waved her hands and refused to drink any more: "You can't be greedy."
"It's just a cup of water, why would you say you are greedy for it? If Qingchen likes it, I'll ask my servants to send you some." The water of Yushan Lake is good and is famous all over the world. But Yushan Lake is the private property of the Wang family, and the emperor wants Yushan.
Spring water also has to say hello to the Wang family.
"No, I am away from the capital for most of the year." Feng Qingchen shook her head and refused. Although she also loves to enjoy herself, she is not as particular as Jin Ling.
After all, she is not a woman who has been educated by a noble family since she was a child, and she is far less particular about food and clothing than women from aristocratic families.
"Why, Qingchen is leaving the city again?" Wang Jinling's eyes dimmed, and he realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly lowered his eyes and pretended to organize the chessboard.
The game of chess was ruined by him just now, and now he wants to review it. Reviewing requires concentration, so this can divert his attention.
"Yes." Feng Qingchen nodded: "There are some things that need to be arranged. After all, things are different from before."
The martial arts conference that Lan Jiuqing mentioned is about to be held. If time permits, she will try her best to observe it. Of course, if she is too busy, she will leave it alone.
What she is most concerned about now is Shandong. If Tong Jue and Tong Yao make arrangements there, she will definitely go there in person, take full control of the Chen family in Shandong, and then arrange for people to settle the Fengli people there.
The mountains are high and the land is far away. If the third prince could take root there without being discovered by the emperor, so can she.
What's more, with the current turmoil in Dongling, there will definitely be few people paying attention to the land in Shandong. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult in the future.
Although he was reluctant to let go, Wang Jinling also knew that Feng Qingchen had a different identity and had great responsibilities. Dongling was so small that he might not be able to keep Feng Qingchen.
"How long will it stay?" Wang Jinling arranged the chess pieces one by one in their original positions with calm movements, but his heart was not calm.
"Maybe a month, maybe less." Dongling Feng Mansion is her home, but she is destined to not be able to guard Feng Mansion all the time.
Wang Jinling nodded to express his understanding, holding the black spot in his hand for a long time without putting it down.
Wang Jinling sighed, knowing that the game of chess could not be repeated, so he simply put the chess pieces aside and said: "Since you are here, please help me cure my eye disease."
In other words, he is going back to the city.
"Are you... willing?" Feng Qingchen paused.
The Wang family can completely stay out of the world, so why should Jin Ling go into such troubled waters?
"It's been more than half a year. It's shameful to stay here all the time." Even if the Wang family is willing to avoid his influence, the Xie family will not allow it. The Xie family has wanted to step on the Wang family's head for many years.
Feng Qingchen lowered his head, remained silent for a moment and said, "Don't force yourself." Especially force yourself for me.
"Qingchen, you think too much. How can I, Wang Jinling, force myself? The Xie family has been so happy in the past six months. If the Wang family doesn't come forward, the world will almost forget. Wang Xie, Wang Xie, Wang Zai
The Xie family is here." The authority and status of the aristocratic family cannot be challenged. If the Xie family hadn't used the emperor to control the princes, the Wang family would not have been so passive.
He would not bear the charge of contempt for the imperial power. After all, he was not an impulsive boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, so he would not confront the Xie family head-on.
Now that the Nine Emperors Uncle is back, and with the Nine Emperors Uncle charging forward, the Wang family does not have to confront the imperial power head-on.
"Since you have a plan in mind, I won't say any more. By the way, when will Haoting come back? Thank you for being in Beiling this time." Feng Qingchen changed the topic lightly.
Wang Jinling smiled and cooperated: "Haoting will be back next month. His wedding date to my sister has been set."
"Whenever the date is set, I will definitely give you a big gift." As for attending, forget it.
If she attends as Feng Li's legitimate daughter, she will definitely be at the top of the table. But if she attends as Feng Qingchen, those ladies from aristocratic families may not be willing to talk to her.
The aristocratic family values rules and reputation, and her reputation is really not a good one.
"February 2 next year." With a deeper understanding of Cui Haoting, Wang Jinling was not as dissatisfied with the marriage as he was at first.
His younger sister, the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, will marry into a wealthy family sooner or later and become a mistress, either the Cui family or another family. The marriage of children from aristocratic families is never about emotional issues, but about the connection between the two families.
"The Flower Festival is a good day. You..." Feng Qingchen answered, and wanted to ask when Wang Jinling would get married, but was quickly interrupted by Wang Jinling: "It's getting late, Qingchen, we have to go in
If you want to go to the city, you have to go as early as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to walk on this road when it gets dark."
She is cruel.
Feng Qingchen smiled apologetically: "Jin Ling must still have to clean up, so I will go into the city first, and you can go back to the city another day. The Wang family must not be prepared for such a rush." In fact, she didn't want to be with Jin Ling.
Ling and Ling rode in the same car.
Since it is cruel, then be cruel to the end.
The smile on Wang Jinling's face froze, and then he nodded lightly: "Okay."
Wang Jinling was not the Nine Emperors Uncle. If he were the Nine Emperors Uncle, he would not care about Feng Qingchen's wishes at all. He would definitely go back with Feng Qingchen if he spoke.
Wang Jinling is Wang Jinling after all. He will think about Feng Qingchen and will not make things difficult for Feng Qingchen. Even if he is extremely disappointed at the moment, he will not force Feng Qingchen.
As Feng Qingchen returned home, Uncle Nine Emperors received the conversation between her and Wang Jinling, including Feng Qingchen's refusal to return to the city with Wang Jinling.
Uncle Nine Emperors was in a very good mood. When he saw the secret guard kneeling below, he said with compassion: "Step back."
The secret guard was startled, thinking that he had heard wrongly. He raised his head suddenly and saw Uncle Nine Emperor's smile that he had no time to retract. He was stunned at that moment.
There must be something wrong with the way he raised his head, because he actually saw Uncle Nine Emperors smiling!
But the next second, Uncle Nine Emperors changed his face and glanced over with a cold look: "You are in such good spirits, go outside the city and tell Wang Jinling that I will see him tomorrow."
Uh... The secret guard was stunned for a moment, and then nodded reflexively. After leaving the door, he realized that he had lost his mind and wasted his time sleeping.
Regret!
When Fu Lin came over, he saw the secret guard standing outside the door with a miserable look on his face, not even noticing that he was approaching.
