The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year.
The servants brought firecrackers and fireworks, and Zhao Lin, Fu Liqing and Yun Zhiyi set off the fireworks together.
Fireworks bloomed in the sky, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, making Zhao Lin a little dazed.
In the blink of an eye, it has been almost a year since I came here.
I am busy with survival every day, and I wonder how my parents and family in my original world are doing, whether they are also celebrating the New Year, and whether they miss me.
Soon, Zhao Lin broke free from his nostalgia.
There's no use thinking about it anymore.
Zhao Lin turned around and saw Fu Liqing and Yun Zhiyi whispering to each other. When he approached them, they stopped talking. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you talking about?"
"I won't tell you."
Fu Liqing smiled coquettishly, and said with satisfaction, "I'm going back."
Although the banquet at the Fu Mansion will last for a long time, it will be troublesome if Fu Liqing does not go back for a long time and is discovered.
Zhao Lin said: "I have asked *** to stop your engagement with Bai Shicheng. Wait for me."
Fu Liqing immediately showed a look of joy, looked at Zhao Lin deeply, got on the carriage and left.
Zhao Lin felt lost as he watched Fu Liqing's carriage disappear in the snowy night.
What else could I ask for if I could win the favor of such a woman?
"Master, do you want to know what we are talking about?"
Back in the front hall, Yun Zhiyi suddenly said.
"I do." Zhao Lin said.
Yun Zhiyi pursed her lips and said, "Qing'er is asking about your abilities."
"With my abilities? I wouldn't say I'll get the top spot, but I should have a chance of becoming a Jinshi..."
Zhao Lin just said something, then suddenly realized and said, "Ability in bed?"
Yun Zhiyi nodded shyly with a smile.
Zhao Lin asked, "What did you say?"
Yun Zhiyi said, "I don't know anything, so I can only tell the truth."
Zhao Lin touched his chin.
Qing'er is very open-minded. She even asked this question.
Judging from her satisfied expression, she probably knew that she hadn't touched Yun Zhiyi.
It’s not that Zhao Lin can’t move.
After this year, he will be 17 years old. Normally, many people at this age will have already gotten married and had children.
But Zhao Lin needed to strengthen his body and practice martial arts, so it was not good to lose his virginity too early.
Although he was not practicing the virgin skills.
But there is no need to tell these to outsiders.
It’s okay to let Fu Liqing misunderstand.
Zhao Lin suddenly remembered and said to Yun Zhiyi, "I told you long ago that you can just call me Master, and there's no need to call yourself a servant. You are Qing'er's sister, and you are my family. There's no need to be so polite."
Yun Zhiyi had changed before, but for some reason Zhao Lin changed back after returning from Qingzhou.
Yun Zhiyi stubbornly said, "Without rules, there will be no order. As the housekeeper, if I start yelling, wouldn't it make outsiders laugh at us for having no rules?"
"Well, it's up to you." Seeing that she was so stubborn, Zhao Lin stopped trying to persuade her.
Yun Zhiyi also has his own plans.
If she called him "Young Master" as Zhao Lin said and didn't treat herself as a servant, then she would be living in the Zhao family in an unclear manner. What would that mean?
Now she should abide by her duties and wait until Fu Liqing comes to be the principal wife. Then it will be easy to decide whether to make her a concubine or find another man.
…
The Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is also very lively.
Just today, Zhao Jingzhou submitted a memorial requesting to be named the crown prince to the emperor.
The emperor would naturally unconditionally meet such a small request from his trusted and beloved general.
With a stroke of the pen, he agreed.
"Double happiness."
Han Yuehua was wearing brand new clothes and looked very happy.
Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and every family will be very busy in the next few days, so Han Yuehua arranged the ceremony for Zhao Chenhan to become the prince today.
As soon as the imperial edict arrives, it will be held immediately.
The Prince Yu's Mansion, the Duke of Ying's Mansion, the Marquis of Changning's Mansion, the General Dingyuan's Mansion and many other families that had relatives or contacts with the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion sent people to congratulate them.
The three sisters Zhao Mingzhu, Zhao Mingyue and Zhao Mingxiao sat together, and felt a little weird when they saw Zhao Chenhan greeting everyone under Han Yuehua's introduction.
"Dad and Mom just don't like Zhao Lin?"
The third son, Zhao Mingxiao, couldn't help but whisper, "It's fine that he didn't find his biological son, but now that his biological son is back, he's even asking to make his adopted son the crown prince. How much do you hate him?"
The second oldest, Zhao Mingyue, was also puzzled. "Zhao Lin is doing well now. Although he's been criticized for his connections to the eunuch party, who can say he hasn't had any contact with them? Even Li Xingye doesn't think Zhao Lin is wrong. So, Dad and Mom are just excluding him like that. Aren't they too hasty?"
The eldest sister, Zhao Mingzhu, turned her eyes away and just listened to her two younger sisters talking without saying a word.
"Sister, why don't you persuade mother?"
Zhao Mingxiao said, "Zhao Lin already hates us. Doing this now will only push him further away, and he won't come back."
Zhao Mingzhu said quietly, "Isn't this what you've always wanted to see? Don't you like Chen Han more and want him to take over the Marquis' Mansion?"
Zhao Mingxiao quickly said, "I never said that. I just think Chen Han is more suitable than Zhao Lin because he has been taught by his parents for more than ten years in the Marquis' Mansion."
"I think so too." Zhao Mingyue said, "But Zhao Lin is our brother after all. It's okay to make Chen Han the Marquis's heir, but shouldn't we notify him first?"
"Oh!"
Zhao Mingzhu scoffed, "Why notify Zhao Lin? Let him watch his position being taken away with his own eyes? Your parents are confused, and you two are confused too?"
Zhao Mingyue and Zhao Mingxiao were immediately speechless.
Zhao Mingzhu was very tired.
She knew that Zhao Mingyue and Zhao Mingxiao said this not to stand up for Zhao Lin, but because they felt that Zhao Lin was no longer the useless person who only knew how to please them. He had value and was worth investing in.
