It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

Weng Xiaoxiao finally understood what Lin Changqing said and looked at Lin Changqing with a speechless look. Every time she met Yang Lin, she listened carefully, and even if she happened to meet Liang Bin there, she didn't think much about it.

"Well, I really didn't think about it that way. Are they in love with each other? That should be the case. If Sister Yang didn't like him, she wouldn't have met him." Weng Xiaoxiao said to herself.

It’s the mutual affection that’s a headache!

Although the Yang family would not let their daughter marry a rich and powerful man so as to avoid suspicion from the emperor, the daughter of the Dingbei Marquis's mansion would definitely not marry a man who owned an escort agency.

Although the general and the escort are both warriors.

Weng Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, "Is it because of Brother Liang's background? You don't agree?"

"My grandfather might be easy to convince, but my aunt will never agree. Several generations of the Yang family have lost more than a dozen lives on the frontier battlefield. In a big way, it's to defend the country, and in a small way, it's for the family's honor. Military families have to avoid suspicion, but no matter how much they avoid suspicion, they will never let a Yang family member end up working in the escort agency."

Weng Xiaoxiao frowned. She did not object to Lin Changqing's point of view. The reality was that their identities and statuses were too different. There would be great differences in all aspects. It would be difficult to truly integrate into each other's lives. It was far from enough to just be in love with each other.

"Boyu, I see that you don't reject Zhao Dongjia. He is also from a merchant family, right?"

"The Zhao family is an imperial merchant, but their status is still that of a merchant. However, their relationship with the Prime Minister is very close, and their influence is enormous. Even my Marquisate dare not underestimate them. Weng Xiao, in terms of character, Liang Bin is very good, but his family background is too weak. This is a hurdle that cannot be overcome." Lin Changqing explained patiently.

Prime Minister?

The Prime Minister who is about to fall?!

She knew she couldn't just ignore it, so Weng Xiaoxiao lowered her voice and said, "Boyu, the following words may be unpleasant to hear, but I don't mean anything against you. We are friends, so I said this."

Lin Changqing had never seen Weng Xiao so serious before, and he couldn't help but sit up straighter.

"No imperial power is ironclad, let alone the powerful and the wealthy. Nothing is unchanging. How about the Prime Minister? You must know more than I do. He stepped on others to get to the throne, and he will eventually become a stepping stone for others..."

Before Weng Xiaoxiao could finish, Lin Changqing covered her mouth with his hand and looked outside. "Little ancestor, you are courting death. You dare to say such words here!"

I dare not say it, I cannot say it, because it is the truth.

Lin Changqing also whispered: "Let's talk about it somewhere else. It's not convenient here. I understand what you mean. My cousin doesn't like people with the surname Zhao, and I will keep my distance from him."

Hearing Lin Changqing say this, he understood what she meant. He knew that this was indeed not a good place to talk, so he stopped talking.

Weng Xiaoxiao drank her tea quietly, but Lin Changqing's heart was not at peace.

Many officials may not have the insight just now. It is hard to imagine that it was said by a 13-year-old civilian boy. Could it be that Lu Yaowen, the scholar, taught him? But Weng Xiao won the prize in the literary competition. The student is better than the teacher.

Lin Changqing couldn't figure it out. He looked at Weng Xiaoxiao from time to time, and always felt like they had just met.

Weng Xiaoxiao had already sensed the scrutinizing looks from the other party. As a friend, it was her duty to give a few suggestions, but she would not say more as it would arouse suspicion.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little subtle.

Not long after, the embroiderer brought Kang Bao in, and the shopkeeper Tong followed.

"Shopkeeper Tong, this little girl is clever and skillful, but she just didn't learn it in a formal way. Fortunately, it's not been long, so she can learn it."

The embroiderer said so, and that meant she had passed the test. Passing the test was the best result, and all parties could be explained.

Shopkeeper Tong nodded, "This is also the fate of the two of you. You will take care of it yourself from now on."

The embroiderer agreed with a smile.

The matter was settled, and Weng Xiaoxiao hurried over to thank him, "Shopkeeper Tong, and this master chef, thank you very much. We don't know the rules of apprenticeship in this industry, so please give us some guidance."

Weng Xiaoxiao did what a parent should do. She naturally asked whether the child should pay tuition and how much to pay.

Having already asked about the girl's background, and knowing that several orphans depended on each other for survival, the embroiderer naturally felt more pity for her. "My last name is Yun, so you all call me Yun Niang. I respect you in my heart. Once a teacher, I will always be your teacher. We craftsmen don't value conventional etiquette, but the rules of respecting teachers are the same. Just kowtow to me three times."

"Thank you, Master Yunniang. Sister, come over and pay your respects to your teacher." Weng Xiaoxiao bowed first to express her gratitude.

After hearing this, Kang Bao took three steps back, knelt down devoutly towards Yun Niang, and kowtowed three times, "Master, I, your disciple Kang Bao, pay my respects to you."

Yunniang stood up and helped her up. She liked this little girl who was quiet but efficient.

Lin Changqing also came over and said, "Congratulations to Yunniang for getting a good apprentice, and congratulations to Kangbao for finding a good teacher."

Shopkeeper Tong looked at Kang Bao and said, "Since you are here, stay and learn today. Apprentices don't get paid, they only get one lunch, and everything has to be arranged by the master. If you disobey the master's orders, you will be severely punished and you will never be able to get along in this business again. There is no order without rules, remember this."

Kang Bao nodded in agreement. She had never imagined what she had just seen. Master Yun's embroidery works were exquisite and luxurious. This was a rare opportunity, and she would definitely learn how to make a living.

After Shopkeeper Tong said this, Lin Changqing and Weng Xiaoxiao said goodbye and left.

......

"Were your views at that time your own, or did you hear them from someone else?"

Weng Xiaoxiao blinked, "Does it matter who said it? What they said is right. That person won't last long, and you must not get close to him or get implicated by him."

The Prime Minister sold official positions and titles, and when he learned that he would be purged, he sent assassins into the palace to assassinate him. With the male protagonist around, the plan would naturally not succeed. When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. The Prime Minister and his party were all eliminated, and no one was pardoned.

Lin Changqing's elder brother also entered the examination hall today. If he passed the imperial examination and wanted to seek an official position, he would have to go to the Prime Minister. But Weng Xiaoxiao's words made sense, and Lin Changqing was speechless for a moment.

"Seeking an official position from the Prime Minister is only a temporary convenience, but it will cause endless troubles. Boyu, please think twice."

It's not that Lin Changqing is being asked to think it over three or four times, it's useless, this is to tell the person in the family who can make the decision.

After walking for a long time, Lin Changqing finally said, "I will mention it to my father. I will do my best and leave the rest to fate."

It is enough to do one's best as a friend and be worthy of Lin Changqing's sincere treatment. There are many other things that Weng Xiaoxiao can't do.

"My Lord, you are a wise man, otherwise you wouldn't have taught someone like Boyu."

"Hahaha... you, little brother, have good taste! Hahaha..."
