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

"Qing'er, she is alone outside, and no matter how difficult it is, she is living a free life. But what if she returns to the capital and enters the Marquis' Mansion? What if the Jiang family knows her identity?"

Yang stroked the teacup with her fingers, considering what to say so as not to hurt the relationship between mother and son. "If you want to marry her in this life, I can help you. But you will have to take care of how your life will be in the future."

The son was kind-hearted and knew some of the ins and outs of the backyard, but not much. It was difficult for him to talk to his son about the disagreements between the couple. "Chang Qing, it's not easy to gain a foothold in the backyard after entering a family like ours. I can only help you a limited amount. Don't forget that there is your grandmother above you. Her status will make her life very difficult."

Before he could be happy about his mother's attitude, he was poured cold water again. Lin Changqing smiled bitterly, "Mom, I know the situation at home, and I dare not confess to her. I don't know if I can bring her happiness."

Seeing her son like this, Yang felt a little disappointed. "I can't answer your question. You have to ask her yourself what kind of happiness she wants. A girl who can pass the imperial examination and work in a bank, what else can she not bear? Don't you even have the courage to ask?"

"Mom, are you going to support me?" Lin Changqing asked unconfidently.

"Silly son, you are still in unrequited love. Why can I stop you?" Yang rolled her eyes, pouted and was about to walk out.

"Mom, where's Dad?"

She has never worried about me so much. Yang couldn't help but feel a little sad. "I won't tell her identity. The less people know about it, the safer it will be."

"Thank you, mother." Lin Changqing stepped forward and hugged Yang's arm. His mother didn't object, which was unexpected, but he was not as happy as he expected.

Yang patted Lin Changqing on the back and said nothing.

After leaving the courtyard, Yang revealed her inner worries. When she was young, she was like Yang Lin, she liked the free and easy people in the world, but in the end she had to obey her family's arrangement and married into the Lin family, which was a good match for her. She restrained her temper, smoothed her edges, and became the head of the backyard.

Miss Weng Xiao can live in Yangzhou with her own abilities, so she must be someone who is not easily submissive.

Even though Lin Changqing didn't like studying, he was brought up with a well-orthodox education. He would not abandon his parents and leave his home and career to run away to that girl.

Two very rational people are destined not to have a passionate love.

Because of her understanding of her son and her guess about Weng Xiaoxiao, Yang decided not to intervene. In her heart, she even hoped that her son could be a little more selfish and bravely pursue his own happiness without any regrets or getting hurt.

Before entering the palace, Yang Lin had the opportunity to leave. With the military power in the hands of the Yang family, as long as the old marquis came forward to plead guilty to the late emperor, the late emperor would not punish the Yang family. But for the sake of the family's face, she gave up herself and fulfilled the Yang family's loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

As for whether it is worth it, who knows!

......

Another busy year.

On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Weng Xiaoxiao invited Ouyang Hua and Tian Runze to a dinner at home.

The two nerds were filled with emotion as they watched the dishes that had been upgraded to a higher level. Now that they were busy with schoolwork, the three of them had fewer and fewer days to get together, but every time they met, they were still themselves, and Weng Xiao was always refreshing.

"Brother, how did you get away from those thugs?" Ouyang Hua always had to ask for clarification when he didn't know something.

"I've been practicing running for several years. Didn't I tell you? It can save your life. You should exercise too. Brother Ouyang is better, but Brother Tian looks a little thin. Can your body handle taking the exam for nine consecutive days?"

"This is worth a try." Upon hearing that it could save his life, Ouyang Hua nodded.

Aren't all scholars weak and frail? However, the imperial examinations really require a good body, so Tian Runze neither agreed nor refused.

"Oh, I almost forgot something important. On the sixth day of the New Year, my sister-in-law gave birth to a fat boy, and I became an uncle. My mother said that the fresh cucumbers and pickles you sent were really good. My nephew is so white and plump, and it is all thanks to these vegetables of yours." He gave a thumbs up as he said this.

Weng Xiaoxiao and Tian Runze stood up to congratulate.

"It's just a small thing, not worth your mother's worry." Weng Xiaoxiao smiled even more brightly.

"Your pickles are great, my mother likes them very much. I'm sorry to bother you, brother." No one in his family, including his father, cared about his biological mother who was practicing in the temple. But Weng Xiao often sent people to visit her and gave her some gifts. Tian Runze remembered this kindness.

The friendship between young people is the most sincere. Weng Xiaoxiao cherishes these two friends very much and naturally treats them sincerely.

"Brother Tian, ​​you are too polite. It's just a small favor. I am just showing my filial piety to my brother."

Ouyang Hua had never thought about these things and couldn't help feeling ashamed.

"Brother Tian needs to study. It's not worth taking leave for such a small matter. I won't send you an invitation to the full moon banquet. Please don't be offended."

Tian Runze waved his hands. His brother knew that he was short of money and couldn't bear to see him spend money. "You are thinking about me, why are you surprised?"

Ouyang Hua smiled and nodded.

"I will arrange for someone to deliver Brother Weng's invitation to your house."

A month later, she had already left Yangzhou and would definitely not be able to make it back. "Sixteen, I have to go on a long journey. Mobei needs me to go there in person, so I will definitely not be able to drink this full moon wine. Brother Ouyang, just send the invitation. I'll ask Aunt Feng to prepare a gift."

"You're going to Mobei? Brother, that's thousands of miles away!" Ouyang Hua widened his eyes in surprise.

Weng Xiaoxiao nodded.

Ouyang Hua didn't doubt what Weng Xiaoxiao said, he was just too shocked.

Tian Runze frowned, "How are your preparations going? It's better to hire a few bodyguards to escort you. It's still a bit dangerous for a gentle boy like you to go out."

"Brother Tian, ​​this is an excellent suggestion. I will consider it."

Weng Xiaoxiao planned to leave Yangzhou and go to Beijing to rest for two days. She had already sent a letter to Debao, saying that if Liang Bin was in Beijing, she would definitely keep him. She wanted to ask Liang Bin to accompany her to Shuncheng, but she didn't have the courage to do it alone.

"My father told me that the future situation is difficult to predict. The price of rice has been a little unstable recently. You should make preparations early." Ouyang Hua was worried about his two brothers and kindly reminded them.

The food and fodder must be moved before the troops move. It's not that the price is unstable, but that it is quietly rising. Weng Xiaoxiao didn't sell a single grain of the rice harvested by the farm this year.

"There's no way they'll reach Jiangnan, right?" Tian Runze said dimly.

Ouyang Hua glanced at Tian Runze and asked, "How can you be sure that we want to fight?"

Tian Runze understood and stopped talking.

Ouyang Hua looked outside and said in a low voice, "The Jinyiwei in Yangzhou has added a lot of manpower. Don't discuss current affairs and don't get involved in muddy waters."

As for how Ouyang Hua knew the news, the other two wisely did not ask. They were already taking a risk by reminding them.
