The Whirlpool River flows slowly, arching around the entire Bozhou City. No matter how the stars change and things change, it still flows eastward calmly and unchanged.

Lin Chonghan was sitting on the attic, and he could see the golden and bright sunset in the distance. Its brilliance reflected the sparkling river, as if the sky and the lake were one.

From time to time, birds fly over the lake and make crisp calls.

She was gazing at the scenery outside the window, while her brother Lin Shijing was chatting with others.

"I don't know, brother, I'm coming to Bozhou this time." The man who spoke was young, but handsome and well-groomed. "But what's the important matter?"

Lin Shijing responded calmly: "We will only stay in Bozhou for three days and will leave for Jiangnan soon. My sister and I are going here to let the soul of my cousin who died young return to his hometown."

Since it involved a funeral, the person who asked the question quickly calmed down and apologized to Lin Shijing.

Lin Chonghan's ears felt like calluses after listening to the polite words all afternoon. What's more, this person met Lin Shijing by chance, and immediately fell in love with him immediately.

His surname is Fang Chong, and he is a native of Anqing Prefecture. He came to Bozhou this time to inspect several properties in Bozhou.

"I haven't been to Gusu Mansion for a long time. This time Brother Lin is going to visit for me." After Fang Zhong finished speaking, he took a box from the servant and handed it to Lin Shijing, "This is Brother Yu's.

It’s a little thought, please accept it, Brother Lin.”

But Lin Shijing didn't accept it.

When he refused, the atmosphere at the table began to become inexplicably anxious. The singing girls' dance was no longer bright and gentle, and even the music seemed to have a chilling air. Fang Zhong's expression changed unpredictably, but just when he was about to speak

The next second, Lin Chonghan suddenly spoke.

She said: "Brother, let's go back to the capital after dinner today."

Lin Chonghan faced the gazes of everyone at the table and said slowly: "When I return to Beijing, I will go to Fang's house to deliver greeting cards and ask Uncle Fang Liu how he taught his nephew."

Fang Zhong's expression went blank for a moment, and he even thought he had heard wrongly.

Fang Liu is the eldest son of the current Fang family. A sideline son like him is just a tool for their main branch to make money. It is almost impossible for him to see Fang Liu.

Ignoring his surprise at having his identity revealed, he quickly stood up and apologized awkwardly: "You are a blind man who doesn't know Taishan. I don't know who you are?"

Lin Chonghan and Lin Shijing looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

They originally thought that Fang Zhong knew their identities, so he went to great lengths to invite them to the banquet, but they didn't expect that the other party didn't know.

Lin Chonghan realized that since the other party was not targeting the target, he must cast a wide net to catch more fish.

She suppressed her thoughts and smiled slightly: "My father and Uncle Guang Yuan are good friends. There are many powerful people in the capital. It's okay if you don't know. But don't do such a thing in the future."

Fang Zhong agreed with fear. When the spies came to report before, he thought these two were just the children of minor officials, but he didn't expect that they would be related to Uncle Guang Yuan.

Once the master's family gets the news, he will definitely not end well.

"What you are trying to teach me," the smile on Fang Zhong's face became more attentive, "Bozhou is far from the capital, but it still has some strange things. If you don't mind, we might as well go to Xiaoyue Tower to get together tonight."

After saying that, he was afraid that Lin Chonghan would misunderstand him as being frivolous, so he quickly added: "There is a big stage set up in Xiaoyue Tower, and some popular opera lyrics from Bozhou will be sung. You may wish to go and have a look. It is not a waste of time."

Lin Shijing didn't want to agree. He knew that the emperor wanted to start a family. No matter whether it was successful or not, he was unwilling to get involved in this muddy water.

"sure."

Suddenly a young male voice came from the door. Fang Zhong raised his head in surprise and met the visitor's eyes. When he saw the man for the first time, Fang Zhong had only one reaction in his mind: What a sharp pair of eyes!

He stood up subconsciously and asked, "I wonder who your brother is...?"

Gu Qingzhang did not answer his words, but walked up to Lin Chonghan and said with a smile: "I just heard that you were going to Xiaoyue Tower to listen to a play, so I couldn't help but interrupt, please bear with me - oh yes

Yes, I am with them."

Facing Fang Zhong's questioning gaze, Lin Shijing could only grit his teeth and nod.

"Of course! As long as you don't dislike me, brother." He saw that Gu Qingzhang was very impressive and traveling with the two of them. He must have a good fortune. Thinking of this, Fang Zhong became even more attentive in his words, "I don't know what your surname is, brother."

?”

Gu Qingzhang said: "My surname is Gu."

Fang Zhong hurriedly exchanged greetings with him and agreed to go to Xiaoyue Tower to listen to a play together tonight.

It was already dusk. Fang Zhong apologized and said that he had to go to Xiaoyue Building to book a table first, and then left the place in a hurry.

Not long after I left the house, my subordinate hurriedly came over holding a box and asked in a low voice: "Sir, what should I do with this?"

Fang Zhong opened the box, and inside lay a dazzling and colorful double-layer butterfly gilt silver hairpin. He thought of Lin Chonghan's calm and graceful demeanor during the dinner, and also thought of her familiarity with the host's family in her words.

"If you don't want to give me this," he gritted his teeth, "you go and get that coral beaded sapphire-dot emerald hairpin, and then go get the best things."

Fang Zhong's heart was bleeding, but when he thought about the overwhelming power represented by Lin Chonghan and others, and the door to the upper class that had not been opened to him for a long time, his blood boiled with excitement.

Whether we can successfully connect to this line depends on tonight.

At this moment, Lin Chonghan and the other three were eating leisurely upstairs.

Gu Qingzhang unceremoniously picked up a bowl of seabass and clams from the table in front of Lin Chonghan. While eating, he walked to the window to enjoy the scenery on the river.

He couldn't help but sigh: "This place is comparable to Tengwang Pavilion!"

Lin Shijing was leaning on his seat, his posture relaxed, and he laughed unceremoniously: "As shameless as you are, if I were Li Yuanying, I would rather not build Prince Teng's Pavilion than let you in."

Lin Chonghan smiled as he watched the two of them arguing. She winked at Haruhi and asked her to see if anyone was eavesdropping outside the door.

Gu Qingzhang clearly had his back to them, but he seemed to know what she was going to do, and said: "There is no one at the door, and there is no one on the roof, but there is someone downstairs."

Lin Chonghan then spoke to Lin Shijing: "Looking at Fang Zhong's behavior, it seems that he has to personally receive everyone who comes to Bozhou and find out the truth about them?"

"That's right," Lin Shijing nodded, with a somewhat unsightly look on his face, "Qiu Sanji has no other skills. He is good at cheating and slipping."

"Bozhou is the only checkpoint from the capital to Jiangnan. He must have been invited to dinner by Fang Zhong's people, but he didn't tell us."

Lin Chonghan was thoughtful, and she said: "It's not necessarily that he doesn't want to say it, but it's just that it's not necessary. With the identity of the Lin family, no matter who is behind it, I'm afraid they won't dare to offend us easily."
