MTL - Jade Without Fragrance-Chapter 34 Closer neighbors are worse than distant relatives

   Chapter 34 Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors

   Qi Shuo's lips couldn't help rising.

   Miss Lin is very kind.

   "I heard something happened in your house, do you need help?" the boy asked warmly.

   "It's been resolved, thank you, Shizi, for remembering." Lin Hao's face remained calm, but he was a little surprised.

   I never noticed before that Prince Jing was an enthusiastic person.

   "That's good. If there is any need for help in the future, Miss Lin can speak up."

   As if afraid of misunderstanding, the young man explained with a calm expression: "Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Father, the king and mother and concubine often teach us brothers and sisters to get along with the neighbors and help each other."

  Changshun fell into deep thought: Did the prince and the princess say this?

  Lin Hao heard this, and it was exactly what he wanted.

   Neighbors should get along well and help each other out. Then she will make some effort to avoid the ending of the previous life for Prince Jing's mansion, and Prince Jing will not think too much about it.

   "The prince is right, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. By the way, is the prince better?"

   Lin Hao's approval and concern deepened the smile on Qi Shuo's lips: "Much better—"

   "Girl, it's hot outside." Baozhu's blunt voice interjected.

  Lin Hao smiled at Qi Shuo: "I'll go first."

   "Miss Lin, walk slowly."

   Watching Lin Hao walk into the General's Mansion, Qi Shuo raised his feet and walked towards Prince Jing's Mansion, and arrived in the Prince's Mansion in the blink of an eye.

  No way, the two are too close.

   "That girl Lin Er is so funny, she kept staring at the prince, as if you would do something to Lin Er." Until he returned to the yard, Chang Shun was still fighting for his master.

  Qi Shuo took the soft towel handed by Chang Ning and cleaned his hands, then said lightly, "Chang Ning, hand over the errand with Chang Shun."

  Changning was stunned, and then responded loudly: "Yes!"

   Can go out to eat, drink and have fun with the prince, who wants to stay at home and get moldy.

  Changshun was struck by lightning, eagerly watching Qi Shuo walk into the back room and grabbing Changning's wrist.

   "Say, what kind of ecstasy soup did you secretly give the prince?"

  Chang Ning patted Chang Shun's hand away: "You might as well think about where to make the prince unhappy."

   Make the prince unhappy? No-

   Seeing that Changshun was confused, Changning snickered.

   It's better if you can't remember, so you don't have to fight with him.

  Changning Lezizi entered the back room and poured tea for Qi Shuo.

  Qi Shuo took a sip from the teacup and instructed Changning, "Call Xuan Yi to come."

   After a while, a young man with a cold temperament walked in.

   "I have seen the prince."

   "You can pay attention to the teenagers who are dancing knives and performing arts on the street today?"

   Usually, Qi Shuo seems to only follow a servant when he goes out, but in fact, there are guards who follow him to protect him, and Xuan Yi is one of them.

   "The lowly office noticed."

   "You send someone to watch and report to me if there is anything unusual."

"Yes."

After Xuanyi went out, Changning was also sent away by Qi Shuo.

  Changshun couldn't help but ask: "Why did the prince call Xuan Yilai?"

   "I want him to send someone to watch a street performer boy."

  Changshun was even more puzzled: "What is there to keep an eye on for a kid who sells arts and seeks life."

  Changning gave him a puzzled look: "Didn't you go out with the prince today, don't you know what the kid doing to attract the prince's attention?"

   "No, he's just a street performer. He's just a little bit better, and he's attracted the second girl Lin—" Changshun suddenly stopped, as if someone had been immobilized.

   "What happened to Miss Lin Er-"

   Before Chang Ning could finish his question, Chang Shun jumped up, with a sudden realization: "I see, the prince is jealous!"

   ah ah ah, he is so stupid, why did he only think of it now, the prince actually likes the second girl Lin!

  Wait, the prince is happy with the second girl Lin?

  Changshun couldn't stand the blow at all, and fell down on the chair.

  Changning was at a loss when he heard it: "The prince eats the vinegar of a showman?"

   This is all a mess.

   "The prince is happy with the second girl Lin, and the second girl Lin rewarded the busker..."

   After listening to Chang Shun's explanation, Chang Ning shook his head.

"You do not believe?"

  Changning disliked his friends very much: "The prince will send someone to watch his rival because he is jealous? Your guess is too unreliable. There must be a reason why the prince ordered Xuan to follow."

  A serious person who is going to stalk a rival in love, it is better than anything to have this spare time to please the sweetheart.

   "Really..." Chang Ning's firm words made Chang Shun shake.

   It seems that he guessed wrong.

   He said that it is impossible for the prince to be happy with the second girl Lin!

  The next day, the first show of the much-anticipated Spring Festival began, but no one paid attention to the General’s Mansion. In the words of the old lady, she will no longer find any poor family jinshi for the girls in her family.

   "Wanqing, since you've thought about it, it's time to cheer up and pay more attention to Chan'er's marriage."

  Lin Chan is eighteen years old, and the marriage has not been decided yet, it is indeed a bit late.

   "How does the mother feel about the tree?"

   "A tree?" The old lady was taken aback.

  Cheng Shu's father is the adopted son of General Lin, and there is a difference between the adopted son and the adopted son. There is no need for the adopted son to change his surname. Speaking of which, they are still two families. Lin Chan's entry into the Lin family tree does not affect the two of them discussing relatives.

   "Why did you think of the tree." The old lady's tone was a little complicated.

  Lin said with a smile: "Shu'er follows my righteous brother, is generous and enthusiastic, and will never treat Chan'er wrong."

  The old lady gave her daughter a deep look and whispered, "If you thought that way back then, it would be fine."

   "What did the mother say?"

   "I said that the tree is really good, but the twisted melon is not sweet. Always ask the two children what they mean."

   "This is natural, then I'll explore what Chan'er means first."

   The old lady shook her head: "No, let's ask Shuer first."

  Lin was puzzled.

  The old lady explained angrily: "I asked Chan'er first, and then asked Shu'er. If Chan'er is willing, but Shu'er doesn't mean it? If you don't say anything against Chan'er's heart, maybe you will plant a knot in your heart."

  Sometimes it may not be like it, but it’s just hard to calm down.

   "Mother is right. But if you ask Shu'er first, what if Shu'er is interested in Chan'er but not?"

  The old lady smiled confidently: "Chan'er doesn't mean it if you don't mean it. A man has a rough heart, what kind of blow is this."

  If you really like it, you can work hard to impress Chan'er, and being an elder will not hinder her.

  The reverse is not possible, Wanqing is a lesson from the past.

   The bottom line of the old lady is clear: a young man who wants to marry two granddaughters must sincerely like the granddaughters, and the one who is not a gentleman who does not marry is preferred.

   is also considered to be bitten by a snake once, and has been afraid of the rope for ten years.

   "Let me ask Shu'er." The old lady was worried about her daughter, and when Cheng Shu came back on duty, she called him to her.

   Seeing that the old lady sent out all the waiters in the room, leaving only Madam Cui, Cheng Shu's heart couldn't help but lift.

   Could it be that something happened to Wen Rugui, or something happened to your aunt?

   "The tree sits."

  Cheng Shu pulled the small stalk and sat down.

   Looking at him, the old lady couldn't help laughing: "You child, why are you nervous in front of your grandmother?"

  The old lady's smile made Cheng Shu relieved: "I thought something happened at home."

   "I'm fine at home, but I have something to ask you about."
