Chapter 456: A drop of water wears away a stone, it takes time to accomplish
"Qing girl did a good job. She knew when to advance and retreat, and she didn't show mercy at the critical moment. She has the demeanor of a military general!" Lin Qingshan did not hesitate to praise her.
Lin Zhiqing smiled and said, "I also want to thank Grandfather for his cooperation just now."
Since the people below have the idea of letting Lin Zhiqing return power, then Lin Zhiqing naturally has to ask Marquis Changning to step in and affirm her.
No matter what she said, others would find fault with her and accuse her of clinging to power.
But once Lin Qingshan opened his mouth, many things became much simpler.
A better solution is for one person to play the good cop and the other to play the bad cop.
The words were all said by Lin Yangyang and Lin Qingshan, and Lin Zhiqing was just expressing his attitude.
In any case, after today's turmoil is over, the smart people in the palace will definitely not cause trouble again in the short term.
Lin Zhiqing was able to handle these matters with ease.
After seeing off Lin Yangyang and Lin Qingshan, Lin Zhiqing specifically called Chaoyan.
Chao Yan knew that she had failed to suppress those troublemakers today, and she felt very guilty:
"Miss, it's all my fault. I couldn't stop them."
Lin Zhiqing smiled:
"Chao Yan, you have never done these things before. Aunt Mu taught you some basic things, but you are no longer the same as before."
"I'm not trying to blame you or scold you, I'm trying to tell you what you should do next time."
Hearing this, Chao Yan's eyes lit up:
"Miss."
"Don't be moved yet." Lin Zhiqing smiled slightly: "I am much stricter than Aunt Mu."
As she spoke, she pulled the man up:
"You are my maid. If someone hits you in the face, it is like hitting me in the face."
"In today's situation, if someone doesn't follow the rules, you can just have them punished."
"This is the only way to calm others down, do you understand?"
Chao Yan nodded vigorously: "Miss, I remember it."
Lin Zhiqing nodded:
"Go to Jianxin Hall tomorrow and bring Xiao Yan over. I heard from the people there that he has been doing very well recently."
"I haven't had anything important to do lately, so I can see if he has any abilities and how much he can learn."
"Okay, Miss." Chao Yan nodded: "Are you going to accept a closed disciple?"
Lin Zhiqing wanted to shake her head, because in her mind there was no such thing as a disciple or not.
But she thought again and realized that this was really no different from being a closed disciple.
Thinking of this, she nodded: "Let's take a look first."
Early the next morning, Chao Yan brought Xiao Yan to Shuqing Pavilion.
When Xiao Yan first arrived in the new environment, he felt a little restrained.
"Chaoyan, bring some fruits over." Lin Zhiqing tested Xiao Yan on some relatively simple knowledge, and he answered fluently.
When talking about psychology, he lost all his shyness and his eyes sparkled.
This means that he truly enjoys the study of psychics, rather than just treating it as a homework.
Only people like this can accomplish great things.
"Xiao Yan, come with me to a place later, and I'll let you see the power of Jianxinxue." Lin Zhiqing touched Xiao Yan's head.
Little seriously nodded.
"Where is Yan Yu? Did he go to Jianxin Hall?" Lin Zhiqing asked casually.
Xiao Yan shook his head: "No."
Lin Zhiqing nodded.
After having breakfast with Xiao Yan, Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang went to the courtyard where the flute player was accommodated.
They will then try to treat the flute man.
When passing by Lin Shi'an's yard, Lin Shi'an, who was wearing official uniform, was walking out in a hurry and did not notice Lin Zhiqing and the others.
Lin Yangyang pinched her chin:
"I don't know what Shi'an has been busy with lately. He doesn't come back until midnight every day. Today is his day off, so why did he go out again?"
Lin Zhiqing didn't say anything for a moment.
Xiao Yan understood and said, "Ladies, I'll go wait for you in the garden out front."
"I've heard from Brother Yan Yu that the Lin family garden is full of exotic flowers and plants. I've been curious about it for a long time."
Lin Zhiqing nodded: "Go ahead."
This little Yan is indeed very sensible.
She said softly, "I heard that the Daliang envoy will soon come to pay homage to the emperor. The six ministries will certainly be busy."
"Someone from Daliang is coming?" Lin Yangyang frowned. "How come I've never heard of this?"
"The news from the Ministry of Rites probably hasn't been announced to the world yet." Lin Zhiqing replied softly:
"Cousin, please don't tell anyone. This is very strange."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else." Lin Yangyang nodded.
"We previously discovered that those Daliang people were colluding with the Zhenyuan Marquisate, but why haven't they made any moves from above?"
"Who knows? Maybe it is because of this incident that Daliang sent an envoy here." Lin Zhiqing didn't know Daliang's intention.
"Then we have to stay out of the house for the next two days. The people in Daliang are very troublesome." Lin Yangyang frowned.
"Why are you coming here instead of staying in Daliang?"
"In the past few years, they fought back and forth with us, but they've calmed down a bit in recent years. However, they still harass the people living along the border from time to time. It's really hateful."
Lin Zhiqing frowned: "No matter what, our Lin family has been too popular recently, so we have to tell everyone to be careful."
"I've asked Lu Huai, and we at the Changning Marquisate will be attending the banquet."
Lin Yangyang suddenly became depressed: "The palace banquet was so boring. I couldn't even eat a few bites."
"Since we are here, we might as well make the best of it. I'm actually quite curious about this palace banquet." Lin Zhiqing had never experienced such a grand occasion before, so of course he was curious.
She got down to business: "Cousin, I'll ask the embroiderer to come over someday and buy a few more sets of clothes for everyone."
"The Lin family wasn't wealthy before, so those clothes were fine for everyday wear, but they wouldn't look good enough for a big occasion."
Lin Yangyang nodded, but said unenthusiastically, "It's time to make a few more sets of clothes."
"I wonder what the Daliang envoy looks like, and whether he will bring anything from Daliang."
The two of them discussed along the way, but stopped talking when they reached the garden.
They took Xiao Yan to the flute player's yard and brought the flute player out.
"We should let him get more sun. It's not good for him to stay in the room all the time." Lin Yangyang said.
Lin Zhiqing nodded, and then talked to Xiao Yan about the various tools on the table and their functions.
When Xiao Yan first saw the jade ring, clear water, and silver needles, he was very curious and listened to Lin Zhiqing's introduction motionlessly.
Lin Zhiqing picked up the ring and repeated yesterday's actions in front of the flute player.
Then she asked Xiao Yan to try it too.
However, the experimental subject was not Di Ren, but Lin Yangyang.
The flute player is difficult to control and too dangerous.
Xiao Yan held the ring and waved it in front of Lin Yangyang for a long time.
Finally, Lin Yangyang yawned and was about to close her eyes.
Xiao Yan was delighted and looked at Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Zhiqing shook his head and patted Lin Yangyang on the shoulder.
Lin Yangyang woke up all of a sudden.
It is obvious that he is really sleepy, not hypnotized.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan's face flushed, and he was obviously disappointed and embarrassed.
Lin Zhiqing comforted him with a few words.
Learning to observe one's mind is not something that can be accomplished in a day, and it is quite difficult to learn.
For the whole afternoon, Xiao Yan watched alone by the side, while Lin Zhiqing tried to wake up the flute player, but in the end it was unsuccessful.
