The Regent's Tender Darling

Lin Xingzhi's clear and simple answer made Lin Qingzhou stunned. After reacting, he quickly asked: "Brother! Who did you marry Jiaojiao to?"

His tone was a little hasty, and he even couldn't believe it. It was clear that Jiaojiao was still in the boudoir when he left, so how could she get married so quickly?

"Regent."

Lin Qingzhou was not surprised when he heard the news, but he just couldn't react for a while.

After all, everyone in the capital knew that the regent was interested in Jiaojiao, and everyone was envious of her.

Before he could say anything else, Bai Xuan came in from outside, holding a large box in his hand.

He knew what was inside without opening it, and this box must be for him!

If I had known...he wouldn't have come.

"Second Young Master." Bai Xuan handed the box to him respectfully.

Bai Xuan, who was usually cold and taciturn, now seemed to have a bit of a gloating smile in his eyes.

I don't know if it was his imagination.

Holding the box, he looked at his brother who was sitting upright with some grievance, and curled his lips: "Brother... how about forget it, I just came back from the academy."

Lin Xingzhi said warmly: "If you can memorize the Four Books and Five Classics by heart, you will no longer have to do homework in the future."

Then he added: "Send it to me for inspection in three days."

He really used the gentlest tone and said the most "cold and ruthless" words!

After leaving Shi'an Courtyard, Lin Qingzhou had no intention of visiting the eldest lady. Anyway, the eldest lady was not happy to see him.

Then he went straight to Lantingyuan.

"Auntie."

Jin's mother was the first person to come out to greet him. When she saw him, her eyes were filled with tears, "Oh! Master, you are back! You have lost weight. I think you have suffered a lot this year."

"Mama Jin." He called with a smile, and then looked inside: "Is my aunt in the house?"

…

——Prince Regent’s Palace.

After returning home, Yan Sihan was busy with government affairs, so Lin Jiaojiao took the time to take out everything in the house and tidy it up. She carefully counted the gold, silver and jewelry in every farm and shop.

What she currently owns alone is worth 130,000 taels of silver, not to mention the ones placed in the Lin Mansion's eldest brother's courtyard.

She was not in a hurry to get it back. After all, no one in the Lin family could touch anything she put in her eldest brother's place.

Just when she was still immersed in the world of counting money, Qingtao walked in, saluted her, and handed her a letter.

"This is from the princess's brother, the young master." Qingtao said, bowing again, and took the initiative to retreat.

Xuemei, who was still sorting the boxes, just looked up at her and continued to sort them.

There is no sign that this letter has been opened. It is unlikely that it has been read by a second person. Because of the way the letter is opened, it cannot be restored.

[How is Jiaojiao doing lately? The cold weather in winter is unavoidable, so be careful in your daily life and avoid catching cold. My brother has found out about the poison. The decoction is not poisonous at all. It is just white wormwood mixed with Yue Leng Xiang, which has a soothing effect. This method of using poison is insidious and very difficult to prevent. Jiao Jiao needs to add more when using the incense. Pay attention. 】

The words are like the person, as comfortable as the breeze and the bright moon, but also have a sharp and cold air.

There is also a piece of letter paper at the back, which describes how to make Yuelengxiang.

Four liang each of white aconite, agastache leaves, tongxiang, sandalwood, angelica, and raw knot incense, two liang of moonseed, half a catty of cold aphrodisiac, and one liang of frankincense separately.

The top part is a fine powder, mixed with honey and snow for the first time, put it in the ice cellar for twenty years, take it out, and smoke it for more than a month.

She remembered that Lin Zhengyang also gave this month's cold incense to her eldest brother. He said that it was made by himself according to the fragmentary pages of an ancient recipe. She was envious for a few days at that time.

The method of making this incense can no longer be said to be cumbersome, it must be valuable. It can be used now, but it was only made at least twenty years ago.

Lin Zhengyang was just a poor scholar at that time. How did he find such expensive spices? How can we make today's Shi'an Courtyard continue to smell like this?

Is it possible that Lin Zhengyang planned to kill her mother and her eldest brother before marrying her mother?

No matter how you think about it, this is absolutely impossible. It only makes sense that Lin Zhengyang bought it from outside.

But this month, the cold fragrance did not appear on the market. Where did Lin Zhengyang get it?
