Lin Changqing took several steps back, which was a rejection of him.

He knew Weng Xiaoxiao's character very well. Although she was not a philanthropist, she was definitely not a selfish person.

The moment he hugged her just now, he clearly felt the girl's reaction. She should like him too.

He looked at Weng Xiaoxiao without blinking, only to see that she avoided his sight.

He got it.

Weng Xiaoxiao would not accommodate him and trap herself just because of a little bit of love.

On the other hand, he himself had never thought of giving up everything at home to run to her, knowing full well that it would be difficult for her to gain a foothold in the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion with her status.

Lin Changqing had been thinking about this problem for so long but still couldn't find a solution. It was only because of his mother's support that he wanted to fight for himself.

Today he mustered up the courage to confess his feelings. In his heart, he actually wanted to see if Weng Xiaoxiao liked him. If so, he would fight for her.

Now that this is the answer, what should he do?

Weng Xiaoxiao doesn’t like him as much as she imagined, so does he still like her?

Looking at Weng Xiaoxiao, Lin Changqing's lips trembled and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"Lin Wei, keep an eye on your son."

After giving this instruction, Weng Xiaoxiao turned around and left in the opposite direction.

If you don't make it clear what you need to say, and keep the relationship going, you will hurt others and yourself. Now that it's clear, I can finally let it go.

Red lanterns are hung high, and the jumping flames flicker, but they are always lit.

The scenes of her acquaintance and interactions with Lin Changqing replayed in Weng Xiaoxiao's mind, becoming clearer and clearer. She liked this simple, kind and handsome guy, but that was just like.

She was disgusted by the wealthy and powerful families like those in Dream of the Red Chamber, so whether consciously or unconsciously, Weng Xiaoxiao's love for Lin Changqing remained at the stage of liking him.

This little bit of love didn't even make her want to do anything.

......

When we arrived at the inn, Debao was already waiting in the room.

"I just happened to meet Master Lin and told him about you. Are you okay?"

Weng Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I'm fine. How are your preparations going?"

"Everything is ready. The goods are purchased from a familiar merchant, and the price and quality are guaranteed. Two carts of silk, two carts of cotton cloth, and two carts of brick tea are ready. The goods have been handed over to the escort agency, and they have already checked and signed for them. We will set off at 8 a.m. tomorrow."

Weng Xiaoxiao gave a thumbs up sincerely, saying that this big shopkeeper really held up half the sky.

"Inside this bag are the clothes, shoes and socks that Kangbao made for you. Take them with you on the road. She will be so happy to know that she can go to Yangzhou with you."

It must be unpleasant to live under someone else's roof. Even with Lin Changqing protecting him, he couldn't care less.

"I prepared this fur cloak for you. The further north you go, the colder it gets. I heard it often snows there in March and April."

A long fur cloak, it looked warm, but it took up too much space. "Feng Gu also prepared it for me. I have to pack it up later. I can't take so many things with me."

"It's okay. I've prepared a carriage for you. It can hold as many things as you want. Let Liang Bin drive it himself."

Everything was arranged very carefully and thoughtfully, no matter how big or small it was. Weng Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with tears. "Brother, thank you."

Anyone who has made a living outside knows that it is very difficult to make a name for yourself, let alone a girl! Weng Xiaoxiao is sixteen years old, how will she get married? He revealed the news to Lin Changqing because he saw his affection for Weng Xiaoxiao and wanted to bring them together.

"Mr. Lin, are you guys okay?" Debao asked.

This worried brother, "We are not suitable, we are just friends."

"Sister, you are worthy of any good man." Debao said seriously. He was afraid that Weng Xiaoxiao would feel that she was marrying above her station.

Weng Xiaoxiao, who had calmed down a long time ago, said frankly: "Brother, I also think I am worthy of anyone." He drank a sip of water to moisten his throat, "I work so hard because I want to live a valuable and better life, not to raise my status and marry into a wealthy family. However, if I really meet someone I like, I am willing to pay some price."

After thinking for a long time, Debao finally understood what Weng Xiaoxiao meant. This girl was indeed unusual. What she thought, did, and wanted were all different from ordinary people, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, let alone weirdness. It seemed as if whatever Weng Xiaoxiao did was natural.

In the past few years, he has come into contact with many wealthy people, but few of them really live wisely and comfortably. They are all busy chasing fame and fortune, and in the end they may not even know what they are pursuing or what they want.

"Live your life the way you like. I'm here for you. Don't be afraid!"

"Thank you, brother." Her family members' unconditional support for her was really sweet and heartwarming.

Debao wanted Weng Xiaoxiao to marry a good man, but she also didn't want her to live a hard life. Kangbao, a little girl who was only responsible for sewing, had heard a lot of complicated things in the Marquis's mansion. The Lin Mansion was just slightly cleaner than other mansions, but none of the ladies, concubines, and young ladies in the backyard were simple.

Considering the family background and talent of the young master of the Marquis's Mansion, the only one who would let go so easily is probably the girl in front of him.

"Xiaoxiao, Mr. Lu left a letter for you, please take a look." Debao took out a letter.

Last year, Lu Yaowen passed the second list of the imperial examination and ranked 166th. He was ranked a little low, and he didn't have a lot of money to bribe people. In the end, he was just a candidate for the position of county magistrate of Longxi County. Longxi was a low-level county in a bitter cold place, under the jurisdiction of King Tuo.

Passing the imperial examination is a happy event, but the place you go to is somewhat dangerous.

Weng Xiaoxiao had no idea where the war broke out, but even if she knew, she couldn't help. She could only pray for him silently in her heart.

......

Passersby hurried past him. Lin Changqing walked aimlessly, not knowing where to go or what to do. His heart and mind were empty.

Tired from walking, he found a pub to sit down. At this moment, he just wanted to get drunk to forget his worries.

My cousin dared to pursue his classmate openly when he fell in love with her, and he didn't care even if everyone in the city knew about it. That's what a real man is! I am afraid of wolves and tigers, and even confess my feelings in a timid way. I'm afraid Weng Xiaoxiao dislikes him for this!

He even dislikes it!

Cough... cough...

Lin Wei hurried forward and patted Lin Changqing on the back, "Sir, let's go home. It's too late to go back, and Madam will be worried. You have to take care of yourself."

"Lin Wei, everyone says I'm a playboy, but what the hell am I? I'm just a good kid. I just don't like studying, and I've never done anything shameful or rebellious."

"That's all old news. Sir, you are now an official and very ambitious. Lord Zheng will come to inspect tomorrow. It would be bad if we go too late. Let's go back."

"No, what's the point of going back? I'm all alone and I can't sleep alone!" Lin Changqing slammed the table angrily.

Lin Wei scratched his head. The young master was frustrated in love, so he wanted to find a girl to accompany him? "Young master, the maid that Madam arranged for you is still here. How about letting her serve you tonight?"

Lin Changqing burped and sprayed a breath of alcohol at Lin Wei. He also disliked Weng Xiaoxiao's maid for being stupid and his own servant for being dumb.

He slammed the table angrily and said, "You still arranged a girl for me? You are really trying to make things difficult for me, aren't you?!"
