After a while, Lin Yarong laughed and said, "Mom, you probably misread it, right?"

Lin Yarong doesn't believe that her mother-in-law will go to the pawnshop. Not to mention that Sun's family is not a poor family, or the old lady herself has a lot of private money. Otherwise, how could Sun Jingsong get so much money to go to the flower building to find prostitutes?

It's really funny that the mother of the town marquis wants to go to the pawnshop.

Lin Yarong remembered something and paused. She said, "Mom, that's the property of Sun Mansion. The old lady has always been busy outside these days. Maybe she just wants to buy something and has no money on hand, so she went to the pawnshop and spent some money."

When Qin heard it, he thought about it. People like old ladies don't seem to go to pawnshops.

Qin smiled and said, "I'm confused. Now that your mother-in-law is free, it's right to walk around."

After dinner, Lin Yarong and Sun Jingbang returned to Sun's house before dark. Before leaving, she said a few words to Lin Shaoteng, the intention was to relax and try her best.

Lin Shaoteng looked calm. From noon to now, Lin Yarong really didn't see any nervous and anxious look on his face. Seeing that Lin Shaoteng was more indifferent than any of them, Lin Yarong gradually relaxed. As for Lin Shaoteng's state, she has nothing to worry about in the past ten days.

On the carriage home, Lin Yarong asked Sun Jingbang, "I saw you and Lin Shaoteng talking in the courtyard for a long time at noon. Didn't you scare him?"

"Why do I scare Shao Teng? That is to say, he asked me a lot of things about the officials. Sun Jingbang was a little thirsty and motioned Lin Yarong to pour some water for him to drink.

He took out a water bag from the carriage and poured some water to Sun Jingbang. Lin Yarong pecked Lin Shaoteng. Is this thinking of entering the official department?

"Actually, I hope he can go to the Ministry of Ceremonies or the Hanlin Academy. Although this official department has a heavy position, something will happen if he doesn't pay attention." Qin is right. What can be more important than the peace of a family?

"It's rare for your brother to have a cavity of blood, but you pour cold water like this. Although the official department is prone to accident, it is also a government. Don't think that your majesty only cares about the military department. In fact, this official department is the top priority. You used to be in charge of the queen's harem in the palace. All the upper and lower links have been arranged, and you will get twice the result with half the effort. I think it's a good thing that Shaoteng wants to go to the Ministry of Public Affairs.

Lin Yarong stared at him. Sun Jingbang said that standing and talking without back pain. People who went to the official department have always been thankless. After all, they are in charge of the national officials, and sometimes it is not so easy to deal with.

However, Lin Yarong didn't say anything. After all, Lin Shaoteng just wanted to think about it. If he really went to the Ministry of Public Affairs, he would have to wait for Lin Shaoteng to get his reputation.

" By the way, do you have a shop in Dexingfang?"

Sun Jingbang thought for a while: "It seems that there are several shops, and the house deeds are with my mother, and I don't know. Why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Lin Yarong smiled and said, "Dexingfang is the busiest place in the West City. If you have a shop in your hand, it will naturally be good. No one will think it's a lot of money." Sun Jingbang scolded her for being a money fan, but Lin Yarong didn't care, "Do you have a pawnshop in those shops? In fact, I always feel that opening a pawnshop is the most profitable way to make a living.

Sun Jingbang thought carefully: "Without a pawnshop, no one in my industry is engaged in pawnshop business. Most of them are grain stores and Buzhuang. I am the largest grain merchant in Jinming Mansion."

Often hearing this, Lin Yarong will definitely ask Sun Jingbang if he ate less and wore less when he was a soldier, so if he had spare money, he would only open a grain store Buzhuang. But today she had something on her mind. When she heard that Sun Jingbang said that there was no pawnshop under his name, she felt faintly uneasy.

Qin won't lie to her, but she is so born. How could the old lady go to the pawnshop?

There are only two reasons why ordinary people go to pawnshops. One is to redeem things, but there are more people than people who redeem things, so no matter what year and where they are, they have always been the most looking for money.

Is the old lady going to be a thing or a ransom? Lin Yarong couldn't figure it out for a moment and always felt something strange.

I haven't seen her speak for a long time. As soon as Sun Jingbang raised his eyes, he saw Lin Yarong's eyebrows and sad: "Is there something wrong with you?"

Lin Yarong cheered up and shook his head: "No, I'm just a little worried about Lin Shaoteng."

Sun Jingbang said, "Shao Teng is not Sun Jingsong. He is a hard-skilled person. I believe he will definitely be nominated in the golden list. Just relax."

Lin Yarong squeezed out a smile on her face. She was actually very worried.

She was worried that something would happen to the old lady.

......

As soon as he returned to the house and entered the gate, Xu Ming handed a letter to Sun Jingbang, and then the two went straight to the study.

In the free time, Lin Yarong called Green Lan to whisper a few words.

After listening to her words, Lv Lan was stunned first, and then asked in a low voice, "Madam, this matter is not easy to do. If you ask clearly, I'm afraid it will make the whole house known in a moment. According to the maidservant's opinion, it's the right thing to find a head to beat people out first.

Lin Yarong thought it was the same, so she asked Lulan to go ahead. She had her own plan.

The green butterfly asked the little girl to get hot water and waited for Lin Yarong to wash her hands and face.

"Who is in charge of the old lady recently?"

Green Butterfly helped Lin Yarong loosen the bun on her head and thought about it. Green Butterfly replied, "These days, Youmei is in charge. Originally, things in the old lady's house have always been taken care of by poetry. The girl has never pretending to others before. I'm afraid that someone will step on her and be raised by the old lady. But these days, Shihua has been accompanying the old lady to visit relatives and friends, and the things in this room have to be left to Youmei.

Lin Yarong was a little impressed by Youmei. On the first day she got married, she scolded Youmei and vaguely remembered that she was a timid and afraid girl.

Lede didn't know how Lin Yarong wanted to say this. She looked at her face. Green Butterfly said, "Although poetry and painting are a little bullying, she has always been loyal to the old lady. She took care of it in the room, which saves the old lady a lot of heart, so the old lady also loves poetry and painting. Madam, what do you want to ask about this?

Lin Yarong hesitated for a moment before saying, "I saw poetry and painting in the old lady's yard the day before yesterday, and I always felt that something was wrong. I was worried that the girl was sick but blindly stubborn. Don't suffer herself at that time."

Green butterfly was shocked: "Poetry and painting are sick? But...but it doesn't look like it. I heard from the cook that this poem sometimes needs to eat one more meal when she goes home at night, but I see that she has gained a lot of weight.

Lin Yarong laughed and said something else.

In fact, she is not suspicious of poetry and painting, but another thing.

It was about to get dark. The housekeeper said that the old lady's carriage had arrived at the door and had just entered the house. Lin Yarong cleaned up a little and went to the old lady's room.

"Mom, have you eaten yet?"

She and the old lady entered the room with their feet and sent the girl out. She waited on the old lady to clean her face.

I took the tea she handed over and moistened it. The old lady said, "I didn't eat anything, but I'm not hungry and I don't want to eat it. You asked someone to stew some Sydney soup. I have a little sick in my throat these days.

Lin Yarong hurriedly answered and wanted to ask about the old lady's pawnshop, but she lingered in her mouth several times, but she still didn't say it.

"Mom, where have you been these days? Why don't you have a party in the house and invite your old sisters to come to our house and make you happy.

The old lady was about to get almond crisp. As soon as she heard her words, her hands stiffened, and then she put down her hand and said, "Okay, but tomorrow is spring. I'm afraid that someone will talk nonsense outside. I'll talk about it in a few days."

Lin Yarong nodded: "What my mother said is reasonable. Let's wait until the end of spring. I heard that a few new playbooks have been added in Beijing recently. People who have heard it say that they will also let people sing when we invite them to the meeting.

The old lady nodded and said who would be invited to sing the main play at that time, and whose martial arts skills were the best. About half an hour later, the old lady said that she was tired, so she sent Lin Yarong back first.

Exiting from the old lady's room, Lin Yarong can be sure that the old lady has something to hide from her.

And she still can't figure out about the old lady going to the pawnshop. When she first spoke, the old lady didn't seem to be the master who lacked money. She also said that the old lady would take the money for the invitation.

What's wrong?

Lin Yarong doesn't want to tell Sun Jingbang, but it involves the Qin family. Lin Yarong is also afraid that what if the Qin family is really dazzled? Don't make both sides feel uncomfortable at that time.

Therefore, this matter can only be investigated by Lin Yarong secretly.

On this day, Sun Jingbang went to court, and Lin Yarong was also busy dressing up, and then went to the palace in a carriage.

She talked with the queen for a while. After dinner, she went to Jingping Palace.

"Wo Sun Lin visited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, thousands of years old."

The prince and King An are very similar, and they are also sword eyebrows and star eyes and high nose and lips, but the prince looks more peaceful between the corners of his eyes, not as gloomy as King An, and there is no scar on the prince's face.

"ping shen, give me a seat."

The maid of honor gave Lin Yarong tea. The eunuch waved his hand, and all the people in the hall quietly retreated.

"How are you doing, madam?"

"Your Highness, I'm fine. I haven't come to visit Your Highness since I returned to Beijing. I hope your Highness is not surprised. Lin Yarong also wanted to come to see the prince earlier, but after the disturbance of King An, she fainted her mind, mainly because she didn't want to be misunderstood.

The prince laughed and said, "Madam asked Dr. Ye to bring the winter dates last time. It tastes good. Next time, it will be more pickled."

Lin Yarong gave a hurry.

"Bear by the way, I heard that King An invited his wife to Liyuan to listen to the play a few days ago?" The prince suddenly asked her.

Lin Yarong smiled, do you still need to "hear" about this? Doesn't the whole capital know about it?

"Yes, I heard Guanshan Jinchun in Anwang's mansion, and invited Master Mei from Weixingfu. He sang very well." That day, except for King An's words that were not pleasant to listen to, Lin Yarong thought it was quite good.

"Guanshan Jinchun is indeed a good play. If you sing a big play in this palace, there are always a few folding plays in it. I also think it's good to listen to it." The prince paused and asked, "What didn't King An say to his wife that day?"

Looking up at the prince, Lin Yarong didn't say anything. She knew what the prince meant.

To be honest, Lin Yarong has never thought that the reason why the prince can live in Jingping Palace is her credit. In fact, she can do few things and play a little role. How can He De help? However, there were some unexpected and coincidental things in those years. In the end, the third prince successfully ascended the throne of the East Palace, and those unexpected and coincidental things became something she and the prince and few people knew.

She knows that the prince has always been grateful to her, but how long can this gratitude last?

After a brief silence, Lin Yarong said softly, "King An mentioned Qiu Guan."

The prince was stunned, and then looked at her, with some sadness and some comfort: "Madam, if Qiu Guan is still alive, he will be happy to see you look like this today."

Yes, the person who cares about her like her brother will be happy to see her leave the palace safely and then get married.

If Qiu Guan is still alive.
