Chapter 17 Digging a Hole
Zhang Hanyan has been particularly angry ever since she went to the Lin Mansion to see Lin Qianqian's residence.
She waited and waited, and finally the time came when it was convenient to speak.
He first pinched his left cheek twice on purpose before going to his mother, Princess Jiashan's room.
It just so happened that her father, the Minister of Personnel Zhang Zhitong, was also there.
"Dad, Mom, do you remember what I said last time, that the Lin family's sister saved me?"
Princess Jiashan smiled dotingly, "Of course mother remembers. I have already prepared the thank-you gift. It was you who said not to send it to the Lin Mansion first."
"Well, don't give it to her yet. If you give it to her, someone will snatch it away and it won't fall into Sister Lin's hands."
Zhang Hanyan gnashed her teeth and said, "Mom, do you know? That vicious woman actually let Sister Lin live in a smelly stable."
The capital city is very big, but people with a little status have naturally heard of the Lin family.
Princess Jiashan naturally also knew Wang's background. She knew that Wang had an affair with the married Lin Qingyun and later married into the Lin family as a concubine.
This matter has been spread everywhere.
Wang Shi was already shameless, but she dared to do something so shameless. It was really too much...
"Hanyan, please invite Qianqian to come to our house someday. I will thank her then."
"Okay, Mom."
Zhang Hanyan came up to Zhang Zhitong and put on a pitiful expression, "Dad, look at my face. It hasn't healed yet. It was Madam Lin who beat me. They say husband and wife are inseparable. Madam Lin has such an ugly face. Lin Qingyun must not be a good person either. Dad, you must supervise your subordinates carefully."
Zhang Zhitong gave birth to four sons before she had this daughter. She loved her youngest daughter the most. She felt very distressed when she looked at her daughter's little face.
On the second day, Zhang Zhitong made things difficult for Lin Qingyun.
He casually flipped through a few booklets that Lin Qingyun was responsible for compiling, found several problems, and called Lin Qingyun over and scolded him for half an hour.
Lin Qingyun defended himself: "I have to sort out so many books in the Ministry of Personnel. The work is complicated. It is normal to have a little mistake. After all, no one is perfect."
Zhang Zhitong said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty often emphasizes that officials must be rigorous and rigorous, but you said that it is normal to make mistakes. What do you take His Majesty's words as?"
After mentioning His Majesty, Lin Qingyun didn't dare to say anything else.
If you say something wrong and humiliate Your Majesty, it will be a serious crime.
"Master Zhang, I know I was wrong."
"Well, it's good that you admit your mistakes. I heard that you abandoned your own daughter in a mass grave in the snow. You have a problem with your character!"
Lin Qingyun was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and finally understood why the Shangshu was trying to make things difficult for him.
It turned out that it was because of that damn girl Qianqian.
"Master Zhang, please don't listen to rumors. I did that because the child was dead when he was born. I mistakenly thought he was dead. I was afraid that Jiang would be sad, so I threw the child away and replaced it with a healthy girl to comfort Jiang."
Lin Qingyun had thought of an excuse for abandoning the child more than ten years ago.
I am not afraid that others will not believe it. Even if they really don’t believe it, no one can provide evidence. What can they do to me?
The Great Yan Dynasty did not have a rule that officials could not visit prostitutes, so Lin Qingyun suffered from bullying in the Ministry of Personnel every day, so he would find a few colleagues to go to a brothel to drink and liven up his mood.
Wang was such a petty person that she was naturally unhappy when she learned that Lin Qingyun went to some dirty places every day.

On this day, Zhang Hanyan waited outside the Lin Mansion early in the morning and forced Lin Qianqian to buy jewelry for her.
The main thing is that Lin Qianqian didn’t wear any jewelry every time we met.
Since no one loves Lin Daiyu, she, as her elder sister, will do the loving.
"Sister Lin, I heard that Mingyue Silver Shop has a lot of new jewelry, which is very beautiful. Come with me to take a look."
The carriage led the way and soon arrived at the destination.
After entering the silver shop, Lin Qianqian took a fancy to a hairpin. It was made of mutton-fat jade, and was completely white without a single flaw. It felt extremely soft in the hand.
"Sister Lin, if you like this, I'll buy it for you. How much is this jade hairpin?"
"Replying to the guest, this jade hairpin is of excellent quality and very expensive. It costs two hundred taels of silver."
Zhang Hanyan was just about to pack it up for me, but unexpectedly someone interrupted her.
"I'll give you three hundred taels."
The person who came was Lin Baozhu. After they had a fight when they first met, Lin Baozhu hated Zhang Hanyan and Lin Qianqian.
This time it was not a coincidence, but Zhang Hanyan was followed by a maid sent by Lin Baozhu when she was waiting for Lin Qianqian outside the Lin Mansion.
Following all the way.
Since Lin Qianqian likes this jade hairpin, of course she will snatch it away and will never let Lin Qianqian get what she wants.
"Shopkeeper, I'll give you three hundred taels, sell it to me."
Zhang Hanyan thought that Lin Daiyu had finally fallen in love with a piece of jewelry, and she must not let her down: "Let's pick the one we like first."
Lin Baozhu: "When buying things, the one who pays the highest price wins, don't you think so, boss?"
To be able to open a jewelry store in Beijing, one must have a background. The shopkeeper is not afraid of anything and is only thinking about making more money: "Of course it's the truth. How can you not make money when you have the chance!"
Lin Qianqian held down Zhang Hanyan's hand as she was about to bid, "Let me do it."
"Shopkeeper, I'll give you four hundred taels of silver."
Lin Baozhu was unwilling to be left behind: "I'll pay five hundred taels of silver."
Just like this, one hundred taels are added one hundred taels at a time. If you don’t let me, I won’t let you.
When the price was raised to one thousand taels, Mrs. Fang, who was following Lin Baozhu, became uneasy.
If they really spent one thousand taels to buy something worth two hundred taels, Miss Baozhu would be fine when she returned home, but those who served Miss Baozhu would definitely be beaten.
"Miss Baozhu, I'm afraid the Madam will be unhappy with this."
Lin Baozhu was already furious and pushed Fang Pozi to the ground, "Get out of here, you little dog slave."
This is a war without gunpowder.
Mrs. Fang couldn't stop Lin Baozhu at all.
…
Lin Qianqian: "I'll pay 1,700 taels."
"I'll offer 1,800 taels." Lin Baozhu looked very proud, waiting for Lin Qianqian to raise the price again, but she didn't expect Lin Qianqian to say with a smile: "Shopkeeper, the price offered by this Miss Lin is very reasonable, so let's sell the item to Miss Lin Baozhu."
Zhang Hanyan finally discovered that Lin Daiyu had set a trap for Lin Baozhu. Lin Daiyu was so awesome.
One thousand eight hundred taels of silver? Mrs. Fang couldn't bear the blow and passed out.
Zhang Hanyan: "Look, the person has fainted from fear. If you can't afford it, don't offer such a high price."
Seeing so many rich ladies gathered around, Lin Baozhu couldn't lose face in front of so many people. "Who said I can't afford it! Shopkeeper, you can just arrange for someone to deliver the things to Minister Lin's residence in Yubanqiao. My mother will pay for it."
Since it was the Minister's residence, they would naturally not deny the debt, so the female shopkeeper happily went to make arrangements.
Lin Qianqian asked the waiter, "Do you have any jade hairpins that are better than the one just now?"
"Yes, of course."
The guy took out another one, the carving and material of which were better than the one he had bid on previously.
"This white jade hairpin only costs 280 taels of silver."
"Okay, wrap it up for me."
Lin Baozhu was as stubborn as a donkey. She stepped forward to bid again, determined not to let Lin Qianqian buy what she wanted.
This time the price was raised to two thousand five hundred taels, and the item fell into Lin Baozhu's hands again.
When Granny Fang regained consciousness after having her Ren Zhong pinched, she learned that the second hairpin cost two thousand five hundred taels. She became so angry that her eyes rolled back and she fainted again.
At this time, Lin Qianqian had her eyes on another colorful jade necklace. The maid Xiaoju held Lin Baozhu tightly and said, "Miss, my miss, please don't bid any more. The lady will be angry later."
This time, Lin Qianqian finally bought it successfully.
She said to Lin Baozhu, "Actually, I fell in love with this colorful jade necklace as soon as I entered the shop. As for the two white jade hairpins, I just asked about their prices. Since you like to snatch things, I'll play with you for a while."
After hearing this, even if Lin Baozhu had a pig's brain, she realized that she had been fooled.
“You you you——”
Zhang Hanyan: "What do you mean, are you admitting that you are stupid?"
