Chapter 162 Lin Huo's Visit
"Princess, you don't seem to be in a good mood today."
There was a faint dark spot under the princess' eyes, and her hair had not been combed in time, and her black satin-like hair was casually scattered behind her head.
Thinking of what Song Rouxi said yesterday, she had a clear dream at night. She dreamed that Pei Ji personally came to the emperor before the Ming Dynasty to ask for a marriage, and the person he would marry was Song Ci.
In the dream, no matter how much she made a fuss, no one paid any attention to her. When she woke up in the middle of the night, tossing and turning, she realized that it was all a dream. However, she could not fall asleep again and waited until the morning.
The scene in the dream was too real, and her head felt like it was being pricked by needles, but she couldn't help but care about Song Ci.
"Go and do something for me."
The maid beside her leaned over and whispered, "The princess has given instructions."
"Help me investigate the Song family's Song porcelain. Investigate everything, no matter how big or small." The princess opened her lips coldly, with stubbornness in her eyes.
"Yes, but I think the princess is worrying too much. The Song family is nothing. If the Pei family is not blind, they will not let the princess marry and instead marry a powerless girl."
The princess was also so confident at first, but the dream kept lingering in her mind, and she felt uneasy and demanded an answer. Besides, could the Pei family really control Pei Ji?
She didn't think so.
"Stop talking nonsense and go help me investigate and give me your answer."
Maid: "Yes."
On Song Ci's side, Zhang Baiwan sent a letter saying that the business at the wharf was back on track, and the first month's dividends had been personally delivered to the Song family by the manager.
Although he knew that Zhang Baiwan was a great businessman, Song Ci couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes when he saw the account, "It's so much."
Seeing her satisfaction, the steward smiled and said, "The freight business at the dock is booming. This is something Master hadn't anticipated. Since the lifting of the maritime ban, there have been dozens of ships coming and going every day from various places. The cargo is rich and varied, and it's very popular in Beijing."
After receiving the account and the banknotes underneath, Song Ci smiled with his eyes curved, looking like a miser.
Wanxiang and Tian'er looked at each other and saw the teasing in each other's eyes. Their young lady really likes money.
The manager left the accounts and the money and left. Business was busy and it was not an easy job for him as a manager.
Song Ci touched the banknote and wondered what to do next.
She heard footsteps outside and listened carefully. It seemed to be Song Lan's voice.
"Yes, brother. Bring up the snacks I bought for you earlier."
Having said that, he pushed the door open and went out.
She hadn't seen Song Lan for quite some time. He was studying hard, and she was happy, but they were apart more often than not. She didn't know why he suddenly came back today.
"Brother." After she called out, she noticed that there was someone standing beside her. If it wasn't Lin Huo, who else could it be?
"Miss Song San."
Lin Huo seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and his facial features became clearer. He was wearing a green suit embroidered with bamboo, looking like a modest gentleman, elegant and handsome.
"Mr. Lin, long time no see."
When Lin Huo heard her soft and sweet call, his dark eyes fixed on Song Ci's smiling face.
"It's been a long time since we last met."
Seeing him staring at his sister, Song Lan, who was standing by, felt happy but also unhappy, so he stepped forward and stood in front of Song Ci.
Pointing at the pastries, he asked, "Did you prepare this?"
"Yes, I knew my brother liked these, so I specially asked someone to buy some for him."
"My sister still understands me." After Song Lan finished speaking, he grinned proudly at Lin Huo, as if showing off.
Lin Huo ignored him, as if he couldn't get enough of looking at Song Dynasty porcelain, without even blinking.
After they sat down to drink tea and eat snacks, Song Lan explained his intention of coming back.
"The exam is just over a month away. The teacher said there's no time left, and everyone in the academy is rushing to prepare. I thought I'd go home and relax."
Lin Huo nodded, "The teacher said that we both have a solid foundation. As long as nothing unexpected happens, we should both do well in grades."
"I have to thank Master Lin and your teacher for this."
This thank you was sincere. She had indeed initially taken a liking to Lin Huo's abilities and future prospects, which was why she offered her help. However, Lin Huo's character was truly impeccable in her eyes.
Lin Huo is really a person worth making friends with.
"Why are you being so polite? If you want to thank Brother Lin, just ask him to stay at home for dinner tonight and prepare a few more delicious dishes." Song Lan spoke directly and finalized the matter.
Firstly, both of them have to take the scientific examination, and chatting can help relieve their tension.
Secondly, he was indeed grateful to Lin Huo, not only for helping him find a teacher, but also for helping him a lot in studying in the academy.
"Okay, I'll ask the kitchen to make a few more." Song Ci agreed immediately and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
Lin Huo's eyes followed Song Ci's figure as he left. Song Lan couldn't help but waved his hand in front of his eyes, "Everyone's gone, what are you looking at?"
Being pointed out directly, Lin Huo's face turned red for a moment, and he picked up the teacup and drank some water to cover it up.
"Do you like my sister?"
Lin Huo was seen through and stopped pretending. He nodded decisively, "Miss Song San is very good."
"Of course. Xiaoci is smart, steady, and reliable. My father said that if she were not a girl, she would have a better future than me." Song Lan touched his nose. He was not ashamed at all. Instead, he proudly showed off his sister.
"Brother Song, this is not true. Miss Song San is a woman and she can also make great achievements."
If others didn't know, how could he not know? He asked her to invest in buying a shop near the dock in advance, and then invest in a house in the south. Was this the kind of vision and thinking an ordinary woman would have?
Seeing him praising her like that, Song Lan smiled even more happily.
"Don't be so happy. Xiaoci has very high standards. Over the years, I've never seen her treat any man differently."
Lin Huo twisted his fingertips and said slowly, "I will do it to satisfy Miss Song San."
Seeing his resoluteness, Song Lan was happy but also sad. He should have been unhappy that his lovely and beautiful sister was favored by someone else, but Lin Huo was really a good person after getting to know him. His character and literary talent were both top-notch.
Although his family background is not good, his future is limitless.
He reached out and patted Lin Huo's shoulder heavily. "If Xiaoci agrees, I have no objection. My parents both love her, and her marriage must be decided by her own consent."
"Of course." Lin Huo nodded, taking it very seriously.
The third room was very lively in the evening. Qiao Xianglan and Song Laosan were both very enthusiastic towards Lin Huo. Everyone was chatting with each other at the dinner table, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.
Song Lao San took out his treasured fine wine and drank two glasses with Lin Huo. Lin Huo, whose skin had become fair during this period, soon had a few blushes on his face, and his eyes were filled with water. Song Ci's smile was in his eyes, sparkling.
