Bai Lu had just received Lin Ting, and Xiao Chu also came with her.

"Madam Lin, and Miss Han, your performance just now was truly breathtaking. I have attended countless banquets, but this is the first time I have seen such wonderful talent."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to listen to Lin: "What's special is Mrs. Lin's pipa. The sound lingers in my ears. Even now, it seems that the melody she played can still echo in my ears."

Xiao Chu caught up with Lin Ting and Han Yian and said that any smart person would know that this was giving face to the two of them.

"Thank you for your praise, Seventh Prince. Please go back and tell Concubine Xian not to invite me to such banquets in the future.

I am just a peasant woman, I don't get along with these nobles, and my behavior is rude. I prefer to stay in my own circle. I am grateful for the kindness of the virtuous concubine. "

Lin Ting bowed and said goodbye with a decisive and resolute action. This was an open rejection of Xiao Chu. They were all smart people, and he and Concubine Xian understood what Lin Ting meant.

Lin Ting didn't want to go along with them, nor would she provide financial support for him, and he wouldn't have to spend time on her in the future.

Seeing Lin Ting and Han Yian turn around and leave, Xiao Chu's men stepped forward and looked at Lin Ting fiercely.

"Your Highness, would you like me to go and solve this..."

This was the first time someone rejected Xiao Chu, and Xiao Chu felt very unhappy.

"She will regret it and come here to beg this prince to protect her. Keep her for now."

Xiao Chu has never failed to get what he wants. Lin Ting is just a businessman. Since he doesn't listen to him, he will use some tricks.

"Is there still no news about the person this prince asked you to find?"

The court has adopted Mr. Jiang's plan. As long as he finds the capable person in Wenmoshe, he can give his father a more detailed plan. By then, his position in his father's heart will be unmatched.

"Your Highness, I have thoroughly checked everyone who came to Wenmoshe that day, but I haven't found the man you mentioned. I have also carefully checked everyone who spoke to Mr. Jiang, but I haven't found anyone..."

Xiao Chu's men were trembling. It wasn't that they didn't try hard, but they really had searched the entire capital but still couldn't find the man that the Seventh Prince had mentioned.

"Ugh, he can't even find a living person, how could he just disappear?"

The subordinates lowered their heads and dared not speak. The only clue about that person was that he had been to Wenmoshe that day. He was a man and had spoken to Mr. Jiang. They knew nothing about his appearance or anything else, and had no way to investigate.

The man from Wenmoshe is too important to Xiao Chu, he must find him.

"Send a few people to guard Mr. Jiang's residence. If you see Mr. Jiang bringing strangers in or out, verify the identities of those people to this prince."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

……

On the way back, Lin Ting invited Han Yian to ride in the same carriage with her. She told Han Yian that she knew someone who would definitely be willing to pay a high price to buy their painting.

"Lin Ting, you just rejected Xiao Chu and Consort Xian. If they dare to cause trouble for you, bring my jade pendant and come to the General's Mansion to find me.

With our General's Mansion backing you up, they will consider the weight of the General's Mansion before deciding on anything else."

Lin Ting: "With your words, they won't do anything to me."

Lin Ting now has the emperor and Mr. Jiang behind him. Even if Concubine Xian really takes action, Lin Ting will be fine.

When the carriage was halfway through the journey, Han Yian gently opened the scroll in her hand. She couldn't appreciate the artistic conception of the painting, but Lin heard that it was worth hundreds of taels. She looked at the thing worth hundreds of taels in her hand with shining eyes.

"Lin Ting, during the flower viewing banquet, you said that even if we just took a turn on the stage, we could still win the prize. Did you guess that the Seventh Prince would help us?"

Although Han Yian is carefree, he is not stupid. After listening to Lin Ting's words, he knows the twists and turns in the matter.

"Yes, if it weren't for the support of the Seventh Prince, no matter how good our sword dance was, we wouldn't have won this prize.

But this good thing only happens once, there won’t be such a good opportunity next time.”

Han Yian understood, but didn't he say he was going to find someone to buy the painting? How come this road was heading towards Lin Ting's house?

"Lin Ting, shall we go back to your house first?"

Lin Ting smiled and said, "Anyone who wants to buy this painting is at my house now."

There were some businessmen coming in and out of Lin Ting's house every day, and Han Yian really thought that there were buyers waiting at home.

After entering the door, Lin Ting led Han Yian into the living room. She looked around and saw that Butler Zhou was also there, but she didn't see any other guests.

"Lin Ting, where is this... person?"

Lin Ting said to Butler Zhou, "Go to the study and call Qingzhou over. Tell him we've brought him something good."

Han Yian supported her chin with her hand. It turned out that the buyer Lin heard about was her husband. This was the first time she had seen someone doing business that was better than her family members.

"Lin Ting, if we sell this painting to your husband, isn't that the same as selling it to yourself?"

“That’s different, I don’t like this painting, but there are many people out there who like it, including the one in my house.

Instead of selling it to someone else, why not ask this guy at my house first? After all, he has his own pocket money, so I'll make some money, right? "

After all, Lin Ting is still taking care of Han Yian. All the silver she gets will be given to the border town army. Moreover, all the silver is paid by her. How can she be so kind?

A few hundred taels of silver was a drop in the bucket for Lin Ting, but for Han Yian and Bian Cheng's army, it was a favor.

This favor will be much more useful to Lin Ting's future than a few hundred taels of silver.

Butler Zhou went out for a while, and Shen Qingzhou came out of the study soon. Today, Lin Ting went to attend the flower viewing banquet held by the Zhang Mansion. He registered everyone invited by the Zhang Mansion and sorted out the relationships.

If anyone dares to bully his wife, he will never let that person off easily.

"My dear, you're back. Did anyone give you any trouble at the flower viewing banquet today? Did everything go well?"

"Hey, I'm still here, what's the point of all this fussing?"

Shen Qingzhou took Lin Ting's hands and looked at her with a worried look on his face, completely unaware of Han Yian beside him.

After being yelled at by Han Yian, Lin Ting embarrassedly pushed Shen Qingzhou away.

"I'm fine. Yi'an and I got a painting today and we're going to sell it. We asked you to come and see it. If you like it, buy it. If not, we'll sell it to someone else."

Seeing that Lin Ting and Han Yian were fine, Shen Qingzhou, who had been worried for a whole day, finally relaxed his tense mood.

"What painting?"

Han Yian took the scroll in his hand and opened it in front of Shen Qingzhou, and an ink painting came into view.

"That's it, eight hundred taels!"

This painting is of profound skill, and the brushstrokes are exactly the same as those of the famous painter Dou Lian of the previous dynasty. This "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is definitely an authentic work.

When I looked at the signature again, it was Dou Lian’s special seal and his handwriting in the corner, it was indeed his work.
