It would be great if she could not marry... Lin Yijia shook her head and drove this ridiculous idea out of her mind. She blinked and asked, "Sister, do you like your future eldest brother-in-law? My eldest brother-in-law is very good-looking."

"Really? Really?" Lin Minjia became interested as soon as she heard this. She swam back happily like a red fish and asked with bright eyes: "Why is it so beautiful? Is it more beautiful than Senior Brother Song?"

Lin Yijia thought for a while, nodded affirmatively and said: "Better looking than Senior Brother Song."

She especially remembered that when Zhao Shiyan came to Guangzhou to see him, she was just over ten years old. She was already lively, but relying on the love of her young parents, she took her seven-year-old brother with her, sneaked into the front yard, and blocked the road.

Lived him.

It was early in the morning, and it had just rained during the night, so the sun was exceptionally bright and the sky was extremely blue. Zhao Shiyan was wearing a sapphire brocade robe with silver threads that shone as he moved his hands and feet. Behind him, there were several

The kapok tree is in full bloom, so gorgeous that it makes people dizzy.

Lin Yijia remembered that she tried hard to raise her head and look at him, as if she felt that what she was seeing was not a real person...

"Better looking than Senior Brother Song." Lin Yijia emphasized again.

It's not that Song Jie was born badly. It's just that, perhaps because he was used to seeing and familiar with him, Song Jie's handsomeness was kind and approachable, like an older brother's; while Zhao Shiyan's handsomeness was charming and handsome.

Heart-warming and noble.

"Oh..." After hearing Lin Yijia say it twice, Lin Minjia deliberately made a long tone.

Even though she was as calm and generous as Lin Huijia, her face showed some red clouds when being talked about and ridiculed by her two sisters. She lightly patted Lin Yijia's head and scolded: "You were a little girl at that time, what could you know?"

,Talking nonsense!"

Before Lin Yijia could refute, Lin Minjia was already laughing: "Sister, you have never met me, how do you know that Xiaoliu is talking nonsense? Could it be..."

She suddenly swam far away, then turned back and said, "Could it be that, eldest sister, you went to take a look secretly?"

"Damn girl! You know what Hun said!" Lin Huijia was so embarrassed that she threw the cotton towel on Lin Yijia's shoulder and jumped into the hot spring pool. The hot spring pool was not big, and among the three of them, the eldest sister had the best swimming ability.

The best, so he caught Minjia in a hurry and tried to escape, and attacked her armpits repeatedly.

"Sister, please forgive me! Haha...ah, ah haha..." Minjia couldn't bear the itch, and kept yelling: "Sister, please forgive me! Xiaoliu, help me! Ah!"

Naturally, Lin Yijia would not step forward stupidly, but would just chuckle from the side.

…

Qin Mingyuan didn't know that the Lin sisters had also been to Meilin.

Therefore, when his young servant Qin Qi mentioned it, he was a little surprised and couldn't help but frown.

"...I was originally thinking about reminding you, but I was thinking about the rules you taught me, so I hesitated. I saw that they had no intention of coming, so I didn't bother you." Qin Qi reported carefully.

.

"Well, you did a good job." Qin Mingyuan nodded.

After hearing his affirmation, Qin Qi's expression relaxed a little, and he tested the water temperature in the copper basin in his hand again. He hurriedly brought it forward, rolled up his sleeves for Qin Mingyuan, and waited on him to clean his hands. Qin Qi didn't know how to serve people.

, after finishing this, he took a dry towel and waited aside. Qin Mingyuan used to do it by himself, but he thought it was just right for him to wait like this.

The water temperature is slightly hot, but very comfortable, and it is mixed with ginger juice.

Warm water with ginger juice can prevent hands from freezing.

Every beginning of autumn, he began to use this kind of warm water to cleanse his hands three times a day. Then he applied snake oil ointment.

"Master, why do you want to study outside on such a cold day? It's so cold outside on this day! The wind blows like a knife!" Qin Qi handed over the towel and couldn't help but see Qin Mingyuan's red hands.

Opened his mouth.

He was newly bought by Qin's mother on the road. Qin's mother originally had no intention of adding more people, but when Mrs. Lin was choosing a girl for Lin Yijia, she suddenly remembered that Qin Mingyuan would study in the capital from now on. It would be very inconvenient not to have a bookboy, and at the same time

Qin Qi was pretty good, so I bought him.

Qin Mingyuan did not answer him.

"...Although life will get better and better in the future, we are still not satisfied, especially you. Far away, comfort will tempt tiredness. Therefore, if there is no rain or snow, you can do your morning reading outdoors.

Fresh air and a broad view will also make your mind clearer and sharper..."

Although Qin Mingyuan didn't think his mother's words made much sense, he had long been used to it after insisting on it for many years, and it was hard to think about whether it was reasonable or not...

"...Master Lin is so kind. Mrs. Lin and the ladies of the Lin family are also very good, and they are all good-tempered masters. I heard Lan Yu say..."

Before going to bed, Lan Yu was also talking to Lin Yijia——

"...I really can't believe that Mr. Qin, a weak scholar, has such skillful hands. Even the carpenters in our village can't make such an exquisite box! How old is he, and he still wants to study..."

Lin Yijia listened absently.

After her rebirth, she was extremely sensitive when she heard Lan Yu talk about Qin Mingyuan for the first time. For a moment, she wondered if someone had bribed Lan Yu, such as Mrs. Qin or Qin Mingyuan himself.

Lan Yu, let this girl always talk about Qin Mingyuan in her ears, hoping to make her fall in love with Qin Mingyuan subtly and quietly? Just like she did in her previous life?

Yes, when she looked back on the past, she was the same way. She always heard things about Qin Mingyuan - Qin Mingyuan's studiousness, Qin Mingyuan's intelligence, Qin Mingyuan's generosity, Qin Mingyuan's attentiveness...

How natural is it for an innocent little girl, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, to have a favorable impression of a young Mr. Zong after hearing about him!

But Lan Yu has a simple temperament and is a little timid. She can't do anything and doesn't have the courage to betray her master. Lan Yu is young and can only speak in front of familiar people without any defense...

"Lanyu, how do you know this?" After Lan Yu spoke for a while, Lin Yijia asked.

"Oh, I heard what Daniel said." Lan Yu replied.

"Who is Daniel?" Lin Yijia asked.

"Daniu is a friend of the slaves in the same village. His parents are gone long ago, and he was raised by his grandfather. Just a few months ago, his grandfather also passed away, and his family was in debt and food.

I didn't have enough to eat, so I sold myself." Lan Yu said with a sad face.

Lin Yijia couldn't comfort her, so she continued to ask: "Did the Qin family buy it? Who made the final decision?"

When Lan Yu heard her master's question, she temporarily suppressed her sadness and replied, "I heard it was Mrs. Qin's intention."

Mrs. Qin...not Qin Mingyuan...

Lin Yijia smiled and said: "Oh, that's good. You have a sister by your side and a fellow countryman who you can meet and talk to frequently. You won't be afraid of missing home in the future... By the way, where is your hometown?

Coming here? When I was a child..."

After talking casually to Lan Yu, Lin Yijia soon heard Lan Yu's sleepiness. After a while, she fell asleep herself.

After breakfast the next day, Lin Yijia called Lan Tian alone.

"Please help me find out how your fellow countryman named Daniu was bought by the Qin family? Well, how did the Qin family choose him... Ask more carefully and get back to me. Remember not to make him suspicious.

.”

At this time, Qin Mingyuan should have only one servant, named Qin Qi. Qin Qi, a book boy, was very loyal and honest, but he didn't learn how to tell lies or reject people until a few years later.

Lin Yijia remembers what her mother said when she was choosing a personal servant for her brother Lin Jiakang: A personal servant has to follow his master around the world and deal with all kinds of people. Loyalty alone is not enough, he must be smart and adaptable to changes.

Otherwise, even if it is of great use, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble to the master when it is taken outside.

As far as Lin Yijia knew, Qin Qi, a book boy, didn't do very well. Although he didn't cause any big trouble to Qin Mingyuan, he was indeed useless. Later, Qin Mingyuan won the Jinshi, and the Qin family started to improve.

After that, he was transferred elsewhere.

Overall, Qin Qi is not suitable to be trained as a personal follower.

Mrs. Qin would definitely not know about this. But she chose him anyway... This made Lin Yijia think too much.

Lan Tian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."

Lantian quickly turned around: "...Daniu said that Yapo introduced several servants at first, but Mrs. Qin was not satisfied. Later, she seemed to be tired of choosing, and heard Yapo say that he and the slaves were from the same village.

Mrs. Qin just nodded..."

"Yeah. I got it." Lin Yijia had a smile on her face that was always in a good mood. She threw the finely crafted shuttlecock in her hand and said with excitement: "Lantian, call Lan Yu, let's play shuttlecock together...
