Chapter 370 You little brat want my cousin to go back to farm with you?
Seeing Princess Ni Chang so calm, Xiao Jingchen felt for the first time that he didn't really know his cousin.
Turning to Lin Wenjin, she asked, "Boy, what are you planning to do? Do you really want your cousin, a princess, to go back to your hometown and farm with you?"
He asked this because he truly regarded Princess Ni Chang as his own younger sister, fearing that Lin Wenjin was a liar who would deceive his cousin's feelings.
"I'm not worried. The imperial examination is coming soon. I'll go and take the exam. I'm sure I'll come back with good luck."
"If I fail the imperial examinations, I can still go into business. I can't let the princess go back to farming with me."
"Also, I wrote back to inform my parents that they should arrive within the next couple of days."
Lin Wenjin looked at Lin Luoxi gratefully, understanding her purpose in having Lin Dayou take him and his sister to the capital.
Lin Luoxi's actions also gave him the confidence to face Xiao Jingchen in front of the person he liked.
Of course, he genuinely wanted to marry Princess Ni Chang, so he made many preparations before making the matter public.
"Alright, I hope you can keep your word." Seeing that Princess Ni Chang was determined to marry Lin Wenjin, he didn't know what else to say.
Xiao Jingchen has finally passed this test. Princess Ni Chang and Lin Wenjin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and both of them gave Lin Luoxi a grateful smile.
This idea was also suggested by Lin Luoxi. After they understood the other party's feelings, they were afraid that Princess Ni Chang's family would not agree, so they asked Lin Luoxi for help.
The two of them have truly bonded through thick and thin, especially since Lin Wenjin was someone she had specially trained.
Lin Luoxi naturally considered things from Lin Wenjin's perspective before offering advice.
"Luo Xi, Luo Xi..." Just as the atmosphere inside the Lin family mansion was tense, Lin Yangshi's cheerful voice came from the courtyard gate.
"It's Uncle Zhou Sheng, Aunt Yang is here." Upon hearing Lin Yangshi's voice, Lin Luoxi immediately stood up with Lin Wangshi and the others and looked outside.
Seeing that Lin Yangshi and Lin Zhousheng were dressed so formally, it was clear that they valued Princess Nishang and his son's affairs very much.
"It really is you!" When Lin Wangshi saw Lin Yangshi, she excitedly stepped forward, grasped Lin Yangshi's hand, and conveyed a message to Lin Yangshi with her eyes.
Lin Yangshi glanced at the atmosphere in the front hall and gently patted Lin Wangshi's hand.
"Brother Zhou Sheng, you've arrived..." Lin Dayou greeted Lin Zhou Sheng as he saw him, winking and making faces at him.
Lin Zhousheng knew that his son was too audacious, daring to covet the royal princess, which terrified them, so they rushed over at full speed.
If things go wrong, not only could his son be beheaded by the royal family, but his entire family could be exterminated.
However, when he saw Lin Dayou winking at him, his excitement subsided considerably, and he couldn't help but give Lin Dayou a grateful smile.
She couldn't help but glare at her son who ran up to her, but the pride in her eyes was undeniable.
Who says that children from poor families can't rise to prominence? As long as they work hard and excel, they will eventually succeed.
“Ninth Prince, we…” Lin Yangshi and Lin Zhousheng were brought before the Ninth Prince by Lin Wangshi and Lin Dayou.
The couple spent their entire lives working the land in the countryside, never dreaming that their son would marry a princess.
Seeing Xiao Chencheng's calm face now, I have so much to say, but I don't know how to express it.
Should we say they are guilty and then belittle their son? Neither of them would do such a thing.
Although they can't compare to Lin Wenqian and his family, their own sons are no less impressive.
They wanted to kneel before Xiao Jingchen, but they didn't think it was their child's fault.
Lin Wenjin and Princess Nishang were in love, which was beyond their control, and they did not want to lower themselves to kneel before Xiao Jingchen.
"Your Highness, since it was my son who provoked Princess Ni Chang, we will definitely take responsibility for her..." Madam Lin Yang considered the matter carefully before patting her chest and assuring Xiao Jingchen.
"What kind of responsibility are you talking about? Are you going to marry my cousin and have her farm with you?"
Xiao Jingchen knew that what he said was a bit harsh, but as Princess Ni Chang's cousin, he had to show some attitude since the other party wanted to marry his cousin.
"Your Highness is too kind. My son will definitely take the imperial examination. It would be best if he could pass with flying colors."
“Even if he doesn’t pursue the imperial examinations, my wife and I have some savings. We can buy him a house in the capital so he can spend the rest of his life with Princess Ni Chang.”
Lin Yangshi knew that it was very difficult for an ordinary person like them to marry a princess.
It's understandable that they'd be treated this way by Xiao Jingchen, but what can they do when his son likes them? It won't hurt them to lower themselves like this once.
"Okay, you can discuss the specifics with my uncle when he arrives."
Xiao Jingchen knew that making things difficult for the elderly couple now would make him seem petty. Since they had already shown their attitude, he would wait and see how this family would act.
"Alright, thank you, Your Highness. I also hope that when the Imperial Brother-in-law arrives, Your Highness can put in a good word for my Wenjin."
Lin Yangshi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xiao Jingchen didn't make things too difficult for them.
"Aunt Yang, Uncle Zhou, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Come and eat." Xiao Jingchen relented, and Lin Luoxi then looked at Zhou Sheng and his wife to sit down and eat together.
"Okay, okay..." He had prepared a lot of nice words, but they were not used.
Lin Yangshi felt that something was wrong, but seeing that Xiao Jingchen's expression was alright, she didn't say anything more and sat down to eat with him.
After the meal, Lin Wenjin and Princess Nishang took Lin Zhousheng and Madam Lin Yang out.
As parents-in-law, it is customary to prepare a gift when meeting the prospective daughter-in-law.
Although Quanshan County was also very nice, Lin Zhousheng felt that since he was going to give Princess Nishang a gift, he should buy something presentable, so he brought money here to buy it.
Before Princess Ni Chang met Lin Zhou and his wife, her impression of rural couples was that even if they were easy to talk to, they probably wouldn't be very generous with money.
She didn't have high hopes for the gift, but she was still shocked when she saw Lin Zhousheng and Lin Yangshi taking her to the Treasure Pavilion in Chizhou to choose the most fashionable jewelry.
Even the noble ladies of the capital would rack their brains to buy it, but they might not be able to, let alone the trendy Avon—a clothing store that specializes in the latest women's clothing.
Princess Nishang felt a dreamlike quality when she saw Lin Yangshi take out a black card and hand it to the manager, who then warmly welcomed Lin Yangshi and her companions.
Could Lin Wenjin be from a hidden aristocratic family? Otherwise, how could she be so generous, and why would the manager of Yafangge give her so much face?
