Chapter 123 Zhao Zhan stayed in Fangzhou
"What? Are you thinking about it? Then your plan will be in vain. With Miss Lin's looks and figure, she must marry a rich man in the county."
"Yes, I heard that a very handsome young man came to the village today and asked along the way where the Lin family lived. I don't know what his relationship with the Lin family is."
"There have been quite a few people in the village these past two days, and quite a few of them are good-looking young men. I don't know which one you are talking about."
"I heard that these people were exiled here. You said..."
Everyone's expression changed when they heard this.
"Those who are exiled are not necessarily bad people. Bad people are still in prison, so how can they be released?
Having said that, even if the others were exiled, the Lin family was not. Their family could afford two horse-drawn carriages. I heard from Muramasa's daughter-in-law that the Lin family was going to build a brick house at the east end of the village.
Think about it, can anyone who can afford to build a brick house be an exile?"
Everyone thought it made sense and nodded.
Lin Zhiyi naturally did not hear the women's discussion, but the words of the girls walking in front of her all reached her ears.
"I heard that a handsome young man came to our village and came to inquire about the Lin family."
"Lin family? Which Lin family?"
"It's the Lin family that just moved in yesterday."
"I don't know if he came to the village to look for relatives, or if he wanted to settle down in the village like the Lin family."
"It would be great if he could settle down. He's really handsome and looks to be in his early twenties. I wonder if he's married yet?"
All of them looked like young girls in love.
"For those who are married or not, forget it. A beautiful girl got off the carriage he was riding in today..."
………
Lin Zhiyi guessed that it must be Li Wenjing who came to Xishui Village, and the girl they were talking about was Zhang Wanqing.
She patted the horse's butt and said, "Go home quickly."
The horse then neighed, startling the girls in front, who then realized they were blocking the road.
After they made way, the carriage also passed by.
Lin Zhiyi thought to herself that she would have to give the horse a name someday. She thought about how every time she called it "horse", it would snort, seemingly very dissatisfied.
Starting tomorrow, she planned to let the two horses follow her to plow the fields.
You have to comfort her well.
Since the door was open, Lin Zhiyi drove the carriage directly into the house.
The horse seemed to be notifying everyone that it was back, and it snorted a few times.
Mother Fang heard the sound and ran out, "The girl is back, I'll go heat up the food."
"No need, Fang Mama. Chai Ya and I have already eaten on the street."
Lin Zhiyi jumped off the carriage and went straight back to the main room.
"Why did you come back so late?" asked Mrs. Song.
"I've been looking around a lot, and there are so many things I need to buy."
I have been staying in the railway station for an hour.
As soon as he entered the door, Lin Zhiyi saw Li Wenjing out of the corner of his eye, but didn't want to pay attention to him.
Seeing that her father and two brothers were at home, she asked, "Dad, big brother and second brother, how are you today?"
Lin Zhiyi observed the three of them and did not see any signs of fatigue on their faces. Instead, the eldest and second brothers looked excited.
Lin Xiuran said: "Not bad."
It was their first time doing farm work, and they felt that it was less stressful than studying, as it only required some physical effort.
When I think back to when I was in school, whenever the imperial examinations were approaching, they would study until midnight, and when they were sleepy, they would pinch themselves until they were purple, just to give themselves more time to study.
Farming doesn't require much brainpower, all you have to do is pick up the hoe and hoe the ground, and weeding doesn't seem to be that tiring either.
"How much have you dug?"
Lin Xiuran and Lin Xiuyan were a little embarrassed to reply to her, "Today is only the first day, so we haven't done much. We will do it as soon as possible this afternoon."
"Okay, then good luck to Dad and brothers." Lin Zhiyi made a gesture.
"What fuel? What fuel?"
Lin Zhiyi suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing and hurriedly said, "Brothers, work hard and encourage each other! I believe in you."
"Miss Lin."
Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Zhiyi turned around and saw Zhao Zhan, full of surprise, "Brother Zhao, didn't you go back to Chang'an?"
Just now, she only saw Li Wenjing out of the corner of her eye, and didn't see Zhao Zhan in the room.
Zhao Zhan, dressed in plain clothes today, seemed like a different person.
Unexpectedly, when Zhao Zhan wore the uniform of the Jinwu Guard, he looked solemn and murderous, but after changing his clothes, he looked much more elegant.
"I have some unfinished business, so I'm afraid I'll have to stay in Fangling for a while."
"I see."
Lin Zhiyi guessed that Zhao Zhan stayed behind simply for the safety of the deposed prince.
What other official duties could he have?
The book says that the deposed crown prince was exiled to Fangling, and the emperor ordered six Jinwu guards to be left behind to secretly protect the deposed crown prince's safety, but Zhao Zhan was not among those six people.
It seems that he wanted to stay.
"Miss Lin, and me."
The voice of Eunuch Wang.
This time Lin Zhiyi was not surprised. "We meet again, Eunuch Wang."
She had guessed that Eunuch Wang would stay.
He also left a note in the book, saying that he was supervised by the emperor's order to depose the prince.
But after staying in Xishui Village for less than a month, Eunuch Wang could not stand the hardships of the countryside and went to live in the county.
Eunuch Wang may still be of some use to her and the Lin family in the future, so this relationship must be maintained.
At this time, the Lin family was very lively.
When buying the bed yesterday, Brother Lin Wei specially brought back twenty square stools, fearing that there wouldn't be enough seats for so many people.
"Sister Lin, I heard from my aunt that you went to the county. You can drive a horse carriage. That's amazing." Zhang Wanqing said.
Lin Zhiyi turned around and looked at Zhang Wanqing with a smile: "Actually, this isn't that difficult. Our horse is very docile. It will go when we tell it to, and stop when we tell it to."
Lin Zhiyi looked at Li Wenjing again and called out symbolically, "Mr. Li is here too."
Without waiting for Li Wenjing to respond, Lin Zhiyi turned her head and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm a little tired today. I'm going back to my room to rest first."
Looking at Lin Zhiyi's back as she walked out the door, Li Wenjing frowned slightly.
Lin Zhiyi was really tired. She thought of taking a nap first and then sorting out the things in the carriage after waking up.
Because she didn't sleep well last night, she yawned when she entered the room, lay down on the bed and fell asleep with her head against the pillow.
I slept very well and even dreamed of my grandma.
When she opened her eyes, it was already evening.
Lying in bed, trying to wake myself up.
Suddenly I remembered that I forgot to marinate the meat I bought today. It’s so hot today and there is no refrigerator, so it will go bad in a day.
Lin Zhiyi climbed out of bed and lit the oil lamp.
When she turned around, she was suddenly startled to find someone sitting in the room.
