"Master Lin's gift, I can't stand it." Wu An quickly got up and stopped him.

"Master Wu has shown me the kindness of supporting and supporting me, so this gift is naturally accepted." Lin Pingan said.

"Master Lin misunderstood."

Wu An showed guilt, and hesitated to speak.

"What does Master Wu mean by this?" Lin Pingan frowned and asked anxiously.

"My recommendation was rejected by His Majesty." Wu An couldn't bear to say.

Lin Pingan couldn't hide his disappointment, but he still said:

"It's my lack of ability. It's normal for His Majesty to look down on you, but thank you, Mr. Wu, for your recommendation."

"Master Lin, why should you underestimate yourself?"

Wu Andao: "Master Lin has been in Jinzhou for the past few years, and his political achievements are obvious to all."

"The weather in Jinzhou has been good for the past three years, and the people have kept themselves safe. There is no political achievement to speak of."

Lin Pingan drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, feeling somewhat depressed after drinking.

"The common people keep their law and order, and Lord Lin governs well."

After Wu An finished speaking, Lin Pingan didn't speak.

He continued: "I believe in Lord Lin's ability, otherwise I would not recommend Lord Lin to His Majesty."

"What Mr. Lin lacks is just an opportunity."

Lin Pingan shook his head when he heard the words, and sighed:

"I'm afraid I won't have a chance in this life."

"Master Lin's words are wrong." Wu An said, "There are always opportunities."

"But it's strange to say this." Wu An suddenly frowned and sighed.

"What's so strange?" Lin Pingan asked with interest.

"Is there any suspicion between Master Lin and Shangshu Lin?" Wu An asked in a low voice.

"Master Wu, why do you ask such a question?"

Lin Ping'an has also read several sage books, and knows the truth that family ugliness should not be publicized.

So he replied: "My eldest brother and I are siblings of the same mother, so there is no quarrel."

Wu Andao: "I thought so too, that's why I find it strange."

Wu An looked around and continued to whisper:
"Today, I recommended Mr. Lin to be Jing Zhaoyin. The regent did not refuse, but asked Lin Shangshu what he meant."

"It's just that Lin Shangshu declined." Wu An said with a frown.

"Brother naturally has his reasons for doing so."

Even though Lin Pingan said so, Wu An could still see the repressed anger in his heart from the corners of his lips tightly pursed.

But this level of anger is far from meeting Wu An's requirements.

So he continued to light the fire:

"Lin Shangshu also said that Mr. Lin has a straightforward temper and cannot take on such a big responsibility. He is simply too modest."

What does it mean to be frank, if you say it nicely, it's frank, but if you say it badly, it's stupid.

Lin Pingan hated others saying that he was not as good as Lin Pingkang.

I have been trying my best to prove myself, not worse than Lin Pingkang.

Now Lin Pingkang not only rejected his errand, but also ridiculed him in public for being stupid.

The veins in Lin Ping'an's hands bulged, and the resentment in his heart reached its peak at this moment.

"But Mr. Lin, don't worry." Wu An said, "With Minister Lin here, it will be a matter of time before Mr. Lin returns to officialdom."

Wu An's words made Lin Pingan understand a truth.

That is, if he wants to continue to be an official, he has to plan for himself.

It is unreliable to rely on Lin Pingkang alone.

"Master Lin, have another cup of tea."

Wu An looked at Lin Ping'an's pensive look, poured him a cup of tea,

Then he continued to listen to the ditty with a smile on his lips.

Shaking his head and humming softly, he was obviously in a good mood.

Lin Ping'an was in such a state of disarray at this moment, how could he have the leisure to listen to the music.

So she stood up and said, "I suddenly remembered that there are still some trivial matters to be dealt with at home, so I will excuse you today."

"Your Majesty Lin, go get busy if you have something to do." Wu An said with a smile, "I'll make an appointment another day."

"I'll be the host another day, and I'll make amends to Master Wu." Lin Pingan said.

"Master Lin is too polite."

Wu An asked suddenly: "What did Master Lin think about what I told Master Lin last time?"

"Master Wu laughed." Lin Pingan said, "This is the only daughter I have. Naturally, I have to think carefully about her marriage."

"They're both parents, of course I understand, but my son is pressing so hard, I have no choice but to have the cheek to ask."

Wu An vividly interprets a helpless father.

"Thank you Mr. Wu for your love for my little girl." Lin Pingan said, "I will think about it for two more days."

"Lord Lin just think about it."

"It's just whether it's successful or not, Mr. Lin remember to tell me back, so that the kid in the family can give up." Wu An said helplessly.

"must."

After Lin Pingan finished speaking, he left.

Wu An looked at the direction where Lin Ping'an was leaving, and gradually laughed softly.

"My lord, will he agree?" Dao Ying, the guard at the side, asked.

"Even if he doesn't agree this time, he will agree next time."

Wu An sat down again, looked at the lively scene on the first floor, and said with a sneer:

"Last time, he refused without even thinking about it. Didn't he obviously hesitate a lot this time?"

"It's a pity." Wu An said.

"Lin Shangshu is cautious in his words and deeds in the court, but it's a pity that his younger brother is stupid."

"Man, the most important thing is to clarify your own position. Does Jing Zhaoyin deserve this position?"

There was a burst of warm applause downstairs, Wu An was in a good mood, and picked up the prize money he had prepared in advance.

Throwing it down from the second floor, it just landed on the iron plate of the cashier.

"Thank you, guest officer, thank you, guest officer." The servant kowtowed to Wu An's position.

"Your Excellency looks down on Master Lin so much, why do you want to win him over?" Dao Ying was puzzled.

"Of course I don't like him, but Lin Pingkang loves this younger brother, and Mrs. Lin loves this son."

Wu Andao: "If you control him, you will naturally control the entire Shangshu Mansion."

"But will the eldest son agree to this marriage?" Dao Ying asked hesitantly.

"It doesn't matter whether he agrees or not. As long as Lin Pingan agrees, the marriage must be concluded."

"Besides, the lady from the second bedroom of the Lin Mansion is a sick child, and she won't live long."

"It's not up to him to decide when he will die. What else can he be dissatisfied with?"

"After she's dead, it's the one who wants to marry another room. Why don't a man have a wife?"

Wu An said indifferently, then closed his eyes and continued listening to the music.

Lin Pingan left Quyuan and did not return to Shangshufu.

Instead, they took a carriage and wandered around the street.

Finally came to an inconspicuous small courtyard.

The door opened, and Lin Pingan walked in quickly.

The servant girl carefully looked around before closing the door softly.

The candles in the house were burning, and a woman was lowering her head to hold the soles of her shoes.

The warm candlelight shone on her face, making her look extremely gentle.

"Master is here." The woman stood up and greeted her.

The gentle voice made Lin Ping'an feel like a spring breeze, and the irritability in his heart also eased a little.

"Didn't you say that you are not feeling well? Why don't you take more rest."

Lin Pingan stroked the woman's shoulder, and his voice was unavoidably softer.

"I have a headache after lying down too much. I see that the shoes on the master's feet don't seem to fit well. There are blisters on my feet."

"I just want to make a pair of new shoes for the master." The woman said slowly.

Lin Pingkang looked at the shoes on his feet, they were made by the second lady herself.

He doesn't like to wear them because they don't fit well.

But the second wife always cried and said that she didn't cherish her heart.

Mother also always said that Yuru is not easy to get pregnant, you should be more considerate of her.

He understands them, but no one understands him.

Only the person in front of him treats him sincerely and understands him.

Lin Ping'an felt unprecedented warmth and relaxation in this small courtyard.

"Yuanniang wronged you, and followed me without a name." Lin Pingan said guiltily.

"It's all voluntary."

The woman leaned her head on Lin Ping'an's chest and said.

The dancing candlelight reflected her delicate face.

It was Yuan Niang who was sent to Zhuangzi by the old lady a month ago!
