Chapter 114 Lin Huo's Concern
Her face was pale at this moment and she looked at Lin Huo.
The madam sneered, "You're so lucky! Someone's here to redeem you. Go with him."
Yun Lan ignored the madam and looked straight out the door. It was late at night and pitch black outside, but she didn't feel scared. She only felt that a new and promising future was waiting for her there.
The next day, Song Ci and Lin Huo were sitting in a teahouse, and she noticed Lin Huo looking at her several times.
Song Ci spoke first, "You want to ask me why I want to redeem Yunlan."
Lin Huo shook his head. "No, I'm not curious about that. Miss Song San, ever since I met you, I've noticed that you have many secrets."
Song Ci didn't say anything, waiting for him to continue.
"Since you redeemed this man, you must have your own agenda. I heard that the Yun family went to Prince Qi's mansion a few days ago. The old Prince Qi has been ill recently and has been very angry."
Song Ci: "How did you know Prince Qi was ill?"
This medicine can make a man inhumane from then on. It is only a matter of time before Prince Qi goes crazy.
"Master and Prince Qi had a long history. Prince Qi once had an exceptionally intelligent son who studied under Master. However, he was in poor health and passed away a few years ago."
Song Ci didn't know about this, but it didn't matter.
"Old Prince Qi is sick, it has something to do with you, right?"
Song Ci narrowed her eyes slightly, "Lin Huo, are you here to call me to task?"
"No." Lin Huo blinked. "Old Prince Qi is a member of the royal family after all. No matter what you decide to do, you must pay attention to safety."
A word of concern disrupted Song Ci's thoughts. She suppressed the complicated thoughts in her mind and said "hmm" softly.
"Also, if you need any help, feel free to come find me at the academy. Also... my master said that after waiting for half a year, I can take the imperial examination."
When Lin Huo said this, his face suddenly turned red.
Song Ci didn't notice and just smiled and said, "Congratulations, with your knowledge, it's only a matter of time before you pass the exam."
Lin Huo is smart, has a strong ability to study, has a clear bottom line in life, and is extremely principled. It is a blessing for the people to have such a person as an official.
"I also want to ask you..."
"What."
Looking at Song Ci's misty eyes, Lin Huo suddenly felt his heart in turmoil and panic.
"No, nothing. I'll ask you again after I pass the exam."
"OK."
After they had some tea, Lin Huo handed her an address. "This is Yun Lan's address. This place is remote and there aren't many people around. It's relatively safe for her to live here."
"Well, thank you very much." She silently kept the address.
At first, she had a pre-existing desire to befriend Lin Huo, with a slight desire to exploit him. But as they got to know each other, she discovered that he was genuinely kind to her. He always considered her, which suddenly made Song Ci feel a little embarrassed.
But at this point, I can't really help him. I'll just wait until Lin Huo is on the list and pick a gift for him.
When the two parted, Lin Huo's eyes were full of reluctance. He muttered a few more words before leaving, looking back every few steps.
Song Ci turned around and got on the carriage, disappearing on both sides of the road.
In a restaurant not far away, a white figure sat majestically at the table, picked up a glass of light wine and drank it all in one gulp.
"Young Master, what are you looking at?" A Lin was the happiest he had been in these days. With that prescription, Young Master's illness had not recurred for a long time.
"Nothing, I just seemed to see an acquaintance." Pei Ji turned away without letting anyone see any emotion in his cold eyes.
"The situation at the border has improved a lot now. I think I'll be able to come back next spring."
Pei Ji nodded, "Where's the prince?"
A Lin curled his lips and said, "Soldiers at the border, can you really let the prince go to the battlefield?" His tone was full of disdain for the royal children's superficial efforts.
"That's not the case. The Crown Prince is in a bad condition, so this is the only option. He will definitely return for the Queen's birthday banquet next spring."
Suddenly, a piece of clean white fell from the sky.
Pei Ji stretched out his slender fingers to catch it, and it turned into water when he touched it. It turned out to be snowing.
When the carriage was halfway there, Song Ci got off and planned to buy a piece of jewelry as a gift for her mother.
The jewelry store was overflowing with items, and she wasn't the only one there; several other young ladies were also browsing. Song Ci paid no attention, instead concentrating on looking through the cabinets.
His eyes swept across a white jade hairpin with an exquisite crabapple carving on it, which reminded Song Ci of Pei Ji's inexplicable face that was infuriating to both humans and gods.
"Shopkeeper, please take out this hairpin."
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up and he hurried over, "Oh, young lady, you have good taste. This hairpin is new. It's made of the finest white jade. There's only one like it in the whole capital."
Song Ci picked up the hairpin and took a look. It was indeed a good thing. "How much is it?"
"Not too expensive, fifty taels will be enough."
This hairpin is indeed good, and it is indeed made of mutton-fat white jade, but it is far from worth this price. Song Dynasty porcelain can be purchased, but you can't be a fool and let others play with it.
"The hairpin is well carved, but the mutton-fat white jade is made from leftover scraps."
The shopkeeper's face changed. How did this little girl know?
"How is this possible? We are made of the best materials."
"White jade has a smooth color, but the color may fade at the edges. This hairpin of yours has such patterns on the bottom."
The argument was well-reasoned and pointed out the key points, which made the shopkeeper sweat on his forehead.
He lowered his voice and said, "Miss, if you have something to say, please talk to us in a nice way. Don't shout. If others find out, it will ruin the reputation of our store."
Song Ci naturally knew this. She came here to buy things, not to make enemies.
"good."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a playful laugh behind him.
"Oh, who did I think it was? Isn't this Miss Song San?"
Song Ci just felt that the voice sounded familiar, and when she turned around, she saw Miss Lian, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She was wearing a pink dress and a cloak with thick fur. Her face was full of arrogance, and she looked at Song Ci up and down with contempt.
"Miss Lian."
Miss Lian snorted coldly, her eyes glancing at the hairpin in her hand. "This hairpin looks nice to me, it would be a shame to give it to you. Besides, with your level, can you really afford anything in this shop? You're such an unsophisticated person."
Song Ci didn't say anything, and the shopkeeper was sweating profusely.
No experience? Even a master with many years of experience probably doesn't have the experience of this young lady. This is called no experience!
"Give it to me." Miss Lian saw that Song Ci didn't say anything, and thought that she was too ashamed to refute her, so she stretched out her hand to snatch the hairpin.
Song Ci raised her hand back, and Miss Lian missed. "How dare you hide?"
