Chapter 261: Not An Kindness
This is a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken.
Lin Huiru looked at these two people in midsummer, as well as the fat boy who was shrinking behind Xu Qinghe, and immediately hooked the corners of his mouth mockingly, "Zi Qiao has gone out, we can't take this thing away, where else are you from?" Let's go back somewhere."
They shouldn't forget what they did in the past, but now that they see Xu Ziqiao's success, they want to get close, but there's no way!
Lin Qing also put Lin Huiru and Qi Hehua behind him with a livid face, "Hurry up and take your things and leave!? If you disturb our children again, I will beat you once! Although I am old, I will teach you a lesson. The younger generation is still doing well!"
It was rare for Lin Qing to become hardened, and Lin Huiru silently praised her father in her heart.
Those with a guilty conscience knew it in their hearts, they shrank their necks, and continued to say cheekily, "My dear father, all the mistakes we made in the past were our fault, and we just hate that iron can't be made into steel, it's just a little too close." , now we come here to apologize sincerely, we all know that we were wrong, and these things are also made up by us, so please let us in." "It's not your fault, could it be
our little Ru Hezi Qiao's fault? Go away, no one cares about your little things." Qi Hehua also felt disgusted in her heart when she saw the two couples.
Liu Xiulan couldn't hold back her face, she turned her head and glanced at Xu Qinghe for help.
"That's not the case. Knowing your mistakes can make a big difference. We really want to make amends. Our family is sorry for Xu Ziqiao. The whole family can't be alienated because of this, right? We also bought an old hen for Xiaoru to make up for, and strive for an early date. Give birth to a big fat boy." Xu Qinghe sneered, and then lowered his face to beg for mercy.
What else could be done now? They picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon. Now that they know that Xu Ziqiao is fine, it is too late. If they don't come and admit their mistakes quickly, Xu Ziqiao and his family will be prosperous. If they settle accounts with them later, how can they bear it? is it?
And if the relationship with Xu Ziqiao is good, how much benefit will the family of the champion have? Maybe they can also enter the capital and become a master.
However, as far as the facts are concerned, they are just dreaming big dreams there. It must be good for Lin Huiru not to eat it. Besides, she doesn't want to have an early pregnancy and have a baby. .
"You guys should save this chicken for your son to have no children. Maybe one day it will be enlightened. Again, we don't need to pursue the things you have done, but please don't hang around in front of me. Now there are court guards outside, if you want to mess around here, you can be defined as assassins on the spot, and you can go directly to the prison to persuade you to be more sensible, so you can do it yourself." Lin Huiru thought, this matter does not matter There was absolutely nothing to discuss with him or Xu Ziqiao, this kind of snobbery who would make trouble when he looked at others badly, and wanted to flatter others when he was jealous, didn't have a single credible word.
It used to be said that Xu Ziqiao was a juren, so he could scare them a little at most, but now he has turned himself into the champion, and he even won three prizes. The guards protecting him are lined up in two rows at the door of the house.
Of course Xu Qinghe and Liu Xiulan knew that they couldn't afford to offend Xu Ziqiao's nodding and bowing attitude like a pug, "Xiao Ru, you are giving us a chance. Everything that went wrong before is our fault.
" Don't say it a second time, if you don't leave, I will call someone, and you didn't expect this day to happen when you fell into trouble, right?" Lin Huiru sneered, and Xu Qinghe and Liu Xiulan were scared out of her by a gesture of raising her hand Door.
"Hey, I'm really worried seeing them like this. I can only ask Zhang Wei to help take care of them in the future. Mother, forgive my daughter for being unfilial." Lin Huiru said, bowing deeply.
Qi Hehua was caught off guard by Lin Huiru's actions, and she hurried forward to help Lin Huiru.
"Xiao Ru, it's a good thing that you can go to the capital to settle down. Besides, your mother and I have made a decision. When you settle down, we will go to accompany you, as long as you don't want us to hold you back. "When Lin Qing said this, he had mixed feelings in his heart. This daughter should have been married off, but this time she was far away from the capital. It's not a taste either.
"Father, mother, don't worry, I won't let you down, we will definitely settle down as soon as possible, and then take your two elders over for a family reunion." Lin Huiru's eyes were red, and she sniffed.
"Okay, we all know that you have this kind of thought. Our life in the village is really thanks to your blessing. It's just that you may have to suffer some hardships in the capital, poor children." Qi Hehua's face was full of kindness, she reached out and touched Lin Huiru's face reluctantly, and said in relief.
Even Zhaodi was not idle at the moment, she handed over the handkerchief embroidered by Qi Hehua, "Sister, don't cry, don't you still have me, I will definitely take care of your uncle and aunt for you."
"You make them look much younger, father, mother, I think this trick has already become a member of our family, and I may not have a child in at least three years now, look at Xu Ziqiao It's a difficult time now, and raising a child is going to be a pain. Why don't you ask Zhaodi to recognize you as godfathers, otherwise someone will always poke her back in the village all day long." Lin Huiru He knelt down and patted Zhaodi's head, discussing with each other.
There was a flash of surprise on Qi Hehua's face, and then there was a lot of entanglement. In fact, there are still a lot of old people in the village now. It is not surprising that there will be a younger child in their family who are as old as them .
It was Lin Huiru who suddenly wanted multiple younger sisters...
"Really? Will I have a father and a mother in the future?" Zhao Di was very happy after hearing this. She was in the period of teeth replacement, and she didn't know when her front teeth would be. The appearance of losing a smile is very funny.
Lin Qing and Qi Hehua glanced at each other, with love and distress in their eyes, "Yes, I will call you Daddy in the future, don't despise Daddy."
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, how can Daddy get old?" Zhao Di happily jumped up and down several times.
In fact, although Lin Qing felt that he was old, but Lin Huiru thought about it, in fact, Lin Qing was only in his early thirties, and he was in his prime, and his lotus was also a person of this era. Generally, they got married early. It's not considered old-fashioned either.
"From now on, when I'm not at home, I'll rely on Zhaodi to accompany you. We will settle down as soon as possible, and then take you all to the capital for a family reunion." Lin Huiru said firmly.
Chapter 262 Return to Beijing
The family affairs are almost done, and Lin Huiru has to go to the shop to hand over the matter. Although the people in their family will not be scattered, it seems that the chances of her coming back here in the future should be very few.
As soon as he saw Lin Huiru, Zhao Xing came over excitedly to congratulate him, "I heard that my uncle has been admitted to the first prize. I'm really happy to congratulate you. This man and woman are a perfect match." "Uncle Zhao, stop boasting
. If you want to come this time, you still want to hand over the shop to you. I will probably not come back for a long time in the future, even if I do come back, there should not be many times, so it is best to hand over this shop to you Do you still have the recipe for making spicy hot soup in summer and skewers in winter?" Lin Huiru carefully checked every corner of the store. After all, this is where she started her business. The small cart that she was pushing for business was also put in the backyard by her.
"My boss, don't worry, as long as I'm here, this shop will last for a day. Even if you're not here, I'll keep this shop running well. If it wasn't for you, I'd probably be sweating profusely from exhaustion. I'm working with my back to the loess." How could Zhao Xing not be grateful to Lin Huiru, Bole is hard to find.
"Then it's hard work for you. From now on, you can take 10% more money from this shop. If there are no problems with other verification items, just deposit it in the business bank. If you want to use it, you can withdraw it in time." After all, Zhao Xing and She has been cooperating with her for a while, and Lin Huiru has great trust in this shopkeeper who takes care of him like an elder.
After leaving the shop, Lin Huiru went to Zhou Maner's place again. Because she used her design drawings, all the items were very novel in style and the price was not high. They were also very popular with well-off families in the town, so Zhou Maner was busy with this. I was so happy that I even forgot to think about Lin Huiru for a period of time. Now seeing Lin Huiru standing at the door and smiling at him, her tears flowed out without disappointment.
"Miss Xiaoru, how could you leave without saying hello to me? If I hadn't gone to your house to ask, wouldn't you even plan to tell me that you went out to play?" Zhou Man'er widened her eyes, Gritting his teeth.
Lin Huiru smiled helplessly and raised her hand. In the eyes of this young lady, everything about feelings is going out to play, "It's really not for fun, I just want to take a test with Xu Ziqiao. I'll be back in less than a month, although it's been a little longer now, but it doesn't hinder anything." "
It doesn't hinder me, but my brother-in-law has been admitted to the first prize, and you will live in the capital from now on. I won't be able to play with you anymore." This was Zhou Man'er's focus, she pulled her face down as she spoke, and started crying while hugging Lin Huiru.
"Don't cry, your father is so rich, if you miss me, you can go to see me often, and if you come back and forth, just go out to play." Lin Huiru is a girl, but she also I am most afraid of a woman crying, because it is really difficult to coax her when she cries.
Zhou Man'er pouted, her face full of displeasure, "How can you be so diligent in this world? It only took you a month to go back and forth to work together. How could my father let me out after such a long journey?" You can't come back again, I only have you as my friend!" "
I only have you as my friend. But you can't stand still in this life. You have to see new scenery and meet new people. Experience some new things, just like your shop, you probably never thought that you will become a small boss now, you see your business is so good, you will open it when you make some more money Go to the county. After the county earns enough money, you can drive to other places. You have saved a few hundred taels, so you can go to the capital to find me?" Although Zhou Maner is very childish, they are sisters in need after all. Lin Huiru thinks that she will not hear this girl making noise next to her in the future, and she is not used to it, but if Zhou Maner can have some money in his hand after he stabilizes, she can also be with Zhou Maner. Opening a jewelry store in the spirit, her novel idea will definitely make a lot of money in a place where the capital is expensive.
Hearing what Lin Huiru said, Zhou Maner seemed to have hope. Although she was a little naive, she was not ignorant. She couldn't delay the future of Lin Huiru and Xu Ziqiao because of her own affairs. Tears sucked his nose, "Really? You can't lie to me."
"Really, it's more real than real money. When did I tell you to lie to you? Do you think this business is as good as I told you? Just think about the business in this town. It's so good, wouldn't it be better to go to a bigger place? And if your father can see the business opportunities in this, and help you with some money here, you can open another shop and use it By analogy, you little rich woman should be able to find me in the capital soon." After Lin Huiru finished speaking, she tapped Zhou Man'er's nose with her hand, and held her in her arms reluctantly, "Okay, Don't cry, it doesn't look good when you cry, how do you do business."
Zhou Man'er sniffed and wiped away her tears, "I just don't cry, today is your last day here, how can I say goodbye at this time? How about opening the door for business? I'll find someone to buy it for me in a while, and then I'll have another meal with you before I let you go." "
Okay, what are you going to eat?" Seeing a gap in the topic, Lin Huiru Grab it firmly.
Zhou Man'er held her chin and thought for a while, and suddenly thought of the taste she has been obsessed with recently, "It's that barbecue, it should be the best thing I've ever eaten in my life, shall we eat that tonight?" "
Okay Well, it's all up to you, I've found almost everyone who needs to say goodbye here, and it's still early before dark, but it doesn't prevent us from preparing more things to go, let's go to the market for the last time together to buy something to cook Get ready." Lin Huiru touched Zhou Man'er's head with a smile, in fact, he also missed that taste very much, not to mention that barbecue is something that Xu Ziqiao and his family have never eaten, so he just took this opportunity to explain to everyone Quenching.
When the fire started at night, the beaming Lin Huiru did not forget to invite Zhao Xing and Zhang Wei over, after all, they were the only people she had acquaintance with in this town.
Or there is no beer or carbonated drinks in the barbecue, and I always feel that something is missing. After thinking about it, Lin Huiru went into the space of the room and exchanged some coke and beer into other containers quietly.
That way, there shouldn't be any doubts.
Chapter 263 Housewarming
Early the next morning, Lin Huiru went to say hello to Jia Fugui again, and then set foot on the road back to Beijing. This time, Lin Huiru vowed that she must get rich early so that the whole family could be brought to the capital. settle down.
Although the journey was tiring, Lin Huiru was also excited by the new life. After returning to the uninhabited house, Lin Huiru felt that she was going to fall apart, lying on the bed and unable to get up.
"You're exhausted. I'll rest at home these few days. I'll be at the Imperial Academy on time tomorrow. I may not have time to accompany you." Xu Ziqiao sat on the bedside and rubbed Lin Huiru's forehead, saying warmly.
Lin Huiru replied lazily with half-closed eyes, "Well, don't be too tired, or you can take another day off?
" , I'm afraid it will leave a bad impression on others." Xu Ziqiao said helplessly.
As it turned out, Lin Huiru had no choice but to pout and agree.
Early the next morning, when Lin Huiru woke up, Xu Ziqiao had disappeared. She was the only one in the house, which was empty and deserted.
After washing, Lin Huiru sighed. It seems that she still needs to recruit troops for this house. Just cleaning and tidying up is scary, and she needs to find a few, and by the way, she is also looking for a cook.
However, just when Lin Huiru was packing up and getting ready to go out, the helper came.
"Miss Lin." Qi Zhengxi had just arrived at the door, and there were several people behind him.
Lin Huiru showed surprise on his face, and walked down the steps quickly, "Master, why are you here?" "
Let's go in and talk about something." Qi Zhengxi smiled gently, and Lin Huiru understood him immediately It means that after inviting people in, they poured hot water.
"I'm sorry, I haven't had time to sell tea, so I can only trouble the prince for a while." Lin Huiru looked at it and smiled. It was almost midnight when the second brother and the others arrived in the capital, and they came back to sleep. It's been a while since today, and her buttocks and waist are still sore.
Qi Zhengxi waved his hand, "It's okay, the preparations at this time are inevitably a little hasty, I came this time to help you send some people here, the few people outside are all carefully selected by me, at least I can guarantee that the details are clean "
Your Majesty, I am sorry for your troubles. I wanted to go out and recruit troops for this homestead. Your Majesty, you have delivered charcoal in a timely manner." Lin Huiru hurriedly thanked.
The acquaintance is different from the past. After they arrived in the capital, they felt a sense of crisis. After all, they can be regarded as people in the court from now on, not to mention that there are still some princes who are eyeing them. They chose to help the emperor instead of a few princes. will cause. Some people's dissatisfaction came from behind the scenes, such as those people on their way back to the town...
"These people can completely guarantee that their confidence is clean, I'm only worried that if you recruit people from outside, people from other places will come over. eyeliner." Qi Zhengxi said, then paused again, "but don't worry, I will not monitor you here, and I have already investigated the group of pursuers you met on the way back. Although There is no definite evidence, but now the only person who dares to do it and is eager for quick success is King Xiang, and then you need to be careful." Originally,
Lin Huiru was just a student, even if he had seen a lot of palaces There is no specific understanding of the court in the drama or in reality.
At most, he just regarded the court as a place for intrigue, but during this period of time she thought about it carefully, people in this era put power first, unlike the modern era where it was just a real struggle in the officialdom. This ancient time is really risking its life!
If they didn't agree with each other, they immediately sent out groups of killers to chase after them, obviously just taking human life as a joke.
When everyone is in danger like this, if the soul can't do everything possible to protect itself, then who can save him? Even if Qi Zhen could help her many times, he couldn't just rely on a man who had nothing to do with her for the rest of his life.
"My son, I know what you are like. I am very grateful that you can send these people here today." Lin Huiru picked up the teacup. He made a toast to Qi Zhengxi with water instead of wine.
But when she first got to know Zhongxi, she would never have thought that there would be these stories between Qi Zhengxi and Qi Zhengxi later.
"It doesn't matter, there is still a shop. It has been almost arranged according to the design drawing you gave me during this period of time, and the carpenter has already sent it over. From now on, we will only see Miss Lin and your performance." Qi Zhengxi has been supervising the work for this month, and when Lin Huiru's drawings were fully realized, he suddenly felt that Lin Huiru was simply a strange woman.
These things and furnishings are something they can't even think of, but for Lin Huiru, it seems to be easy, and there are other things that they can't even think of.
"Thank you, son, I can start the shop after I clean up the mansion. I promise, within three months, you will definitely get your money back and make a lot of money." Lin Huiru did not hesitate to put down such rhetoric, not because of her I'm bragging, because it's often such a good place, and this price will definitely make her a lot of money.
Qi Zhengxi just smiled when he saw that she was so determined, but in fact he had already trusted Lin Huiru very much.
The news that Qi Zhengxi went to Lin Huiru's place today was quickly passed back by King Xiang's eyeliner.
"It seems that this partner's abacus is not as big as usual. He usually looks inconspicuous and quiet, but this time he folded faster than us. He reached out to the champion in advance. He really can be called My king is very impressed, especially the one named Qi Zhengxi, who really pushes the waves of the Yangtze River." King Xiang, who just came back from the court, was still wearing a court dress, and when he got the news, he was so angry that his eyes were about to burst into flames. .
In order to get a large number of eyeliners directly next to the emperor this time, he spent a lot of money to steal this matter, but what she didn't expect was that this was a problem. Although it was posted, someone took advantage of this opportunity He actually took it to inform the police, and he still hasn't found out who the whistleblower is.
If he were to know who passed this secret to the emperor, he would definitely let this person die without a place to bury him. Now that the question has been changed, the people who passed the exam are completely out of his control. When he reaches out to compete with the other brothers now, his speed seems to be much slower.
Chapter 264 New Product
Moreover, his people had already been fainted by the other two brothers, and now they are evenly matched. They wanted to take advantage of this time to stay in Chaozhou, but they didn't expect to be destroyed by an unknown soldier.
He was so angry that his molars itch.
"Maybe we can catch him by surprise in this matter of the world. Now His Majesty is the most taboo of forming cliques. The son of the Marquis Mansion is so close to the champion, so he must be able to fall into something so that he can join the army." ." The guard suggested next to him.
After this news reached King Xiang's ears, King Xiang just sneered, then cast a glance at the guard, and kicked the incident away, "Why is your brain the same as that dog outside?" Don't you know what the status of the Marquis Mansion is now? The kimono is now an important project that has been appraised to go to the north. It's too late for the emperor to praise him. Will he take care of such trivial matters?" The kicked people just
dared He didn't dare to speak in anger, after all he was just working for King Xiang. It would be great if he could save his life, but if he wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune, he might not be that material.
"Just like you don't get angry, he's just a newcomer and doesn't understand anything. If you get angry, you won't be in good health." Another person who looked at him hurried over to dissuade him.
King Xiang was already tired of hearing his flattering words, and sneered, "Oh, it seems that you have been in the palace for a while, I don't know what you think about this matter. Do you want to share your worries?"
"Your Highness...I..." That person just took advantage of this moment to flatter me, but didn't he think that the slap didn't come? Putting it on was actually slapped on the horse's leg, and she was nothing more than a brave and foolish man. She wanted to take this opportunity to coax Hao Xiang Wang Hao into giving herself a chance to be promoted and make a fortune, but she didn't expect it.
Seeing the entanglement of the original death, King Xiang disdainfully said, "Bai Guang will give you three days, if you can't think of any countermeasures within three days, there is still a guard dog at the door, or you can go, Otherwise, cut off your head and bring it up to see you."
King Xiang always said what he said, but his face turned pale after breaking the stop, and he didn't dare to move when he was frozen in place, wishing to slap him who was impulsive just now.
In fact, Lin Huiru's mansion is clean, and there is not much room to clean, but some things need to be added. Lin Huiru went out with his family and bought some porcelain vases, and after planting flowers and plants, the whole yard suddenly became more vibrant.
Qi Zhengxi brought about a dozen people, a cook, a woman who looked a little old, and a personal maid specially for her. After excluding these three, they were all little servants who were in charge of doing things on weekdays. Some rough jobs such as cleaning, carrying water and chopping firewood, etc., are evenly distributed in this way.
However, the salary in the capital is different from the salary in the town. In the town, it is too much to hire someone for only two hundred cash a month. In the capital, a person needs at least ten taels of monthly money.
Lin Huiru couldn't let Qi Zhengxi pay this sum of money, and these people were all brought by Qi Zhengxi, so she had no choice but to accept it reluctantly, and was prepared to increase her monthly expenses by one hundred taels in the future.
After tidying up the house, Lin Huiru and Qi Zhengxi made an appointment to go to the shop together.
It has to be said that the efficiency of this big man's work is that Gao Baozi is exactly as he imagined, even if he didn't even intervene, the things made by the craftsman are very much in line with her wishes.
"How is it?" Qi Zhengxi asked confidently after standing on the side with his hands behind his back and inspecting the circle. He also brought Lin Huiru after several inspections.
Lin Huiru nodded in surprise, "Your Majesty, you really have a different talent in this area. I didn't expect to have such a good effect. It is thanks to you, Persimmon, that you can have such a pavement." It's just about to open for business. I've almost finished customizing this new dessert. If you have nothing else to do today, you might as well come to my house to have a taste, so that you can finalize the menu." "No problem
. I don't have any arrangements, although others call me, but I have been doing nothing all day long. If Miss Lin has anything to do, just ask her directly." Qi Zhengxi said politely.
Although Qi Zhengxidao is not really as relaxed as he said, he still has a lot of leisure time on weekdays, especially after meeting such a magical woman as Lin Huiru, she feels that many things are better than Lin Huiru's. They are much inferior.
"Your Majesty's words are too serious. How can I give orders to your Majesty? Just ask your Majesty to taste the food today, and if there is no problem, I can lead the workers to make raw materials tomorrow, and prepare to promote and sell them. "Lin Huiru said happily, and now she is one step closer to her dream. As long as it is what she thinks, the day when she will become rich is not far away, and by then she will be able to reunite with her family.
Now she only managed to bring Xiao Hei by her side.
There was no way, the silly dog ââran all the way with their carriage and couldn't drive it back. Lin Huiru was reluctant, so Xiao Hei simply carried him into the carriage and transported him to the mansion in a disguised way to make him familiar with it.
After two days of getting used to it, Xiao Hei became so vigilant and scared when he didn't come, and he also fell in love with running around on the huge land at home.
Originally, the servants in the family were still very afraid of Xiao Hei, but Xiao Hei always maintained an indifferent attitude towards them. The only person who was enthusiastic was Lin Huiru. People are also relaxed.
Like other fierce dogs, Xiao Hei has the power to attack everyone. As long as people who don't want to step into his territory, he will just ignore them as if they are his own papa.
This time, when Qi Zhengxi entered the door, Xiao Hei happened to run to the front yard. Seeing this strange man stepping in, Xiao Hei immediately made an attacking posture, grinning fiercely, like a fierce man. like a beast.
After all, Xiao Hei is also a Tibetan Mastiff. Although he is not yet an adult, if he stands up, he is already as tall as a person, and he looks very dangerous.
"Be careful, son." The guard who had been unknown until now finally came in handy. Qi Zheng hoped that he could draw out his deep friendship, and the long knife on his waist gestured at Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei was not to be outdone, and he roared with.
Chapter 265 Mastiff
"Xiao Hei, this is Prince Qi, don't do this! Stand still!" Seeing that the situation was wrong, he hurriedly scolded Xiao Hei. In fact, he didn't know why, although she had never taught Xiao Hei much. But Xiao Hei is like a psychic, and can understand almost everything she says.
Xiao Hei, who was reprimanded, was like a poor child. He suddenly lost his power, but lowered his face, his eyes were watery, and he let out a grievance whimper from his throat. He confirmed the expression on Lin Huiru's expression again. After being harsh, he lowered his head in aggrieved and went to the inner courtyard.
"I'm sorry, son, this dog was originally raised in the backyard. You were not surprised." After Lin Huiru realized it, she quickly apologized to Qi Zhengxi. Anyway, the person next to her was the son of Lord Hou or a relative of the emperor
! It was the ability to protect them back to the dark guard that day that opened his eyes, let alone Qi Zhengxi carried it with him because he was afraid of trouble, as long as Qi Zhengxi thought her little black had already fallen to the ground.
"It's okay, don't take it to heart. This dog looks quite strange. I don't know where it came from?" But Qi Zhengxi didn't put on airs at all, and didn't take this matter to heart.
"Don't be so impulsive in the future. He was just defending his territory. Because I am an outsider, it's okay to threaten. If you didn't come out, how could he want to attack? There is still a difference between a beast and a human. Yes." In fact, it was very thin, and he gave the guard next to him a look, and said earnestly.
These words caused Lin Huiru to think deeply, and this son is really strange.
"It's just that these are just a dog I picked up in the village. I don't know the specific origin, but the size is indeed a bit bigger. But don't worry, if it doesn't really judge that the person is aggressive, it won't Bite, after he gets acquainted today, he will probably not do such offensive behavior again in the future, please be generous." Lin Huiru's heart was already hanging high in her throat, she couldn't imagine Well, if someone with a good temper like Qi Zhengxi hadn't come here today, if someone else had changed, how miserable she would have died.
"You don't have to be so nervous. As long as you learn the lesson from this time, you should keep it in the future. After all, even if it's a puppy, some people in the officialdom have weird tempers and narrow minds. Pay attention in the future." Qi Zhengxi's gestures are still as gentle as jade, Even the words spoken are as gentle as drizzle.
Only then did Lin Huiru breathe a sigh of relief. She had accumulated virtue in her previous life to meet such a good nobleman.
"I understand, I will never let it run away in the future." Lin Huiru wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, gave the guard another smile, and then invited Qi Zhengxi into the room.
Most of the things Lin Huiru has developed this time are fruit tea and fruit tea. As for things like cakes and ice cream, she is still trying to find a way to realize them.
After all, it is really troublesome to make a lot of things. If you do a lot at the beginning, you may not be able to make it very delicate, so it is better for her to keep her feet on the ground and do the same thing.
Lin Huiru brought out the things she had prepared in the morning. In order to prevent it from being the same as last time, but one thing could drink everyone, this time she chose to reduce everything.
A few bites of the same thing can also guarantee freshness.
After Qi Zhengxi tasted the many fancy things in front of him, his expression was a little bit tangled, but the tastes of these things were different, and they were much better than the tea they usually drank. There is a certain flavor, which is a good feeling to adjust and drink.
"What's the matter? Is the taste not suitable?" Seeing Qi Zhengxi's strange expression, Lin Huiru couldn't help mentioning it. These things have taken her a lot of time recently. If there is any problem with the taste, She was afraid that she would suffer a big setback.
Qi Zhengxi shook his head hastily, "No, in fact, I just think that the taste is very good, and it's really hard to compare them all at once. These things are put into the dishes in the shop, and I don't know how many kinds there are? "
"There are eight flavors of milk tea and six flavors of fruit tea. You can choose the fruit or dried fruit in this fruit tea. In fact, there are only 20 kinds of it. The recipe is a bit different, and the person who needs to make it may have to carry it for a while. You must ensure that you are proficient before selling to customers." Lin Huiru rubbed her chin and sat down. She may need to separate several operating tables, knowing that in this era, there is no such machine that can be shared at the same time. I am afraid that this list will still need People pass it back and forth. It may be a little troublesome to unify things.
Another way is to stock up.
"It's not too much. In fact, it's about the same as the number in a restaurant. As long as there are enough people, there should be no problem. If you want to add something more, more attractive places. Xingcheng is the most suitable place for business. People with brains will never have to worry here, there will be no business, the price of writing these things is only a dozen yuan, those ladies go out every day with more than ten taels of silver as a base, and they will not be able to eat all of them in one visit I care." As a second-generation official, Qi Zhengxi understands the habits of his peers very well.
Lin Huiru also nodded, this kind of mentality is correct, it seems that milk tea has become a necessity now, some people have to drink a few sips every day, but they only spend a dozen or twenty yuan just to worry about getting fat After the money was bought, I drank a couple of sips and threw it away.
Not to mention waste, she will not lack customers.
"Okay, then let's try to make all the things first, and then we can reduce or increase them after seeing their tastes. However, this counter should be expanded. There are many types of these things. It may be too busy, um, at least four or five people will be involved. But I don't know the wages in the capital, is twenty taels a month enough for one person?" Lin Huiru was really uncertain about this aspect. After all, it is not easy to go directly to the door of other people's stores and ask them how much they pay.
"It's too much, it's fine according to fifteen taels. You don't have to worry about other things. I will find someone for you. These things should be exclusive recipes. If they are leaked out, they may affect you." Qi Zhengxi has already considered It is comprehensive and cannot be more comprehensive.
For such an active Qi Zhengxi, Lin Huiru was grateful from the bottom of her heart. For her, Qi Zhengxi was willing to lend a helping hand to her just like Jia Fugui at the beginning.
The kindness of dripping water should at least be reciprocated. Qi Zhengxi trusts her so much and helps her. Although he may not be able to do other things, she still has the confidence to make people rich.
Chapter 266 Membership System
"However, all kinds of businesses in the capital are emerging one after another, and it is inevitable that there will be imitations. You should be prepared for this." Qi Zhengxi reminded with a deep sigh.
Lin Huiru nodded, of course she knows this, but these fruit teas, milk teas, and yogurt are not so easy to imitate. Take yogurt as an example, if the temperature and disinfection are not done well, then yogurt cannot be made Come.
So she wasn't too worried.
"By the way, I'm also planning to launch a membership system to promote consumption. I will make a batch of consumption cards. If you don't buy a cup, you can stamp a stamp on it. After collecting ten stamps, you can exchange it for a cup of milk tea or other things of equivalent value. , My son, how about this?" Lin Huiru asked enthusiastically.
But Qi Zhengxi didn't agree with it very much after hearing this, "This method may be good for people without much money, but people without money will not drink too much of these things, such as those ladies from aristocratic families , they may not care about such a cup or two cups at all, and a hundred or so cups can be given to the servants of the family as rewards."
This is not unreasonable, Lin Huiru nodded, it seems It is true that this method only exists in other places that are not the capital.
But most rich people don't care about these, but there are too few people without money in the capital.
"If you are not interested in such things as cheapness and gifts, then maybe you will lack some attractive ideas." Lin Huiru sighed, so the purchasing power will depend entirely on the preferences of customers.
"In this case, it's better to spend all your energy on making things better. Don't think too much, you are not used to the usual environment and take it slowly." Qi Zhengxi comforted, but Lin Huiru's This idea absolutely amazed him. After all, for some people with relatively ordinary family circumstances, things that can be slightly cheaper are the motivation for them to buy.
And Lin Huiru seems to have grasped this point precisely. He believes that Lin Huiru is so smart that he should be able to figure out the rules of doing business in the capital soon.
In fact, there is no need for the center to say it quickly. The next moment Lin Huiru knew what was the most attractive thing in the capital. It was not a price reduction or a discount. On the contrary, for some people, things were cheaper or even nothing to show off.
People in the capital like socializing the most, this liking is not that liking, but only socializing in the capital can help a person climb to the top, especially for those young generations, they always have to carry a burden on their backs. The clan's sustenance, whether you like it or not, you have to do those superficial things with people. Of course, this is good for them because they can't help
themselves. Lin Huiru's eyes suddenly appeared when he looked at Qi Zhengxi luster.
"What's the matter?" Qi Zhengxi felt uncomfortable being stared at by Lin Huiru, as if a hunter had taken a fancy to his prey.
"I know what attracts the most people in the capital, those people with high status, they always communicate with people day and night. It is their expectation to meet people with higher status. So they want business Okay, I thought of something, as long as you are free, Shizi, take a few more friends there for a walk, I believe there will be many people who will come here admiringly." Lin Huiru supported the table and blinked at Qi Zhengxi Blink, this is the easiest thing she can think of.
This effect is like finding a spokesperson for something, or inviting a star to be a guest for an event in a place. It should be the so-called celebrity effect.
"That's right, in fact, when a store opens, the owner behind the scenes will invite his friends to visit, just to use the interpersonal relationship to negotiate the business of the store, but it turns into a kind of comparison later on. Whoever has the highest status in the court, even if the things sold in this shop are indescribable, there will always be people who have nothing to do and walk around." Qi Zhengxi's words are full of irony. After becoming an official, there are many benefits. In addition to being able to eat a salary, you can also use your fame to open a shop and invite a few friends. The business of this shop will not worry about the future.
Lin Huiru nodded. It's like a businessman invited other friends to support the scene when he opened his business. Although he didn't mention it the first time, it was also the most effective method, especially here. A place where snobbery is all over the world.
"No way, I think there must be a lot of business geniuses in the capital, but the reason why they all chose this one must be because it is the most effective. You also take the lead, don't you?" Lin Huiru said foolishly, otherwise, if she opened a shop there just because she is an unknown person, even if the things are attractive, she would be too unconfident.
"No problem, but don't forget that you are also a family member of an official now, but it's better not to use the money to make money. Mr. Xu has just taken up his post. If you are too ostentatious, it may cause more dissatisfaction." Qi Zhengxi Rubbing his chin and squinting his eyes, his thoughts turned to other places.
He was really curious, if King Xiang knew that not only Xu Ziqiao was a genius, but also Xu Ziqiao's wife was a business genius, and even after she was ready to take root in the chaotic business circle of the capital, would she jump in anger.
Seeing that Qi Zhengxi readily agreed, Lin Huiru also snapped his fingers and said in his heart that it was very smooth, "In the next two days, I will teach the recruits how to make formulas and so on. When everything is ready, everything will be ready. It's the day when we start our business and make a lot of money."
"Okay, our plan to make a fortune depends entirely on you, Miss Lin, and we'll have to work hard, Miss Lin, on your hard work during this time." Qi Zhengxi said and stood up, "Okay , this smell, I usually finish other marketing or something, I may not understand at all, but shooting here will cause trouble for you girl, I still have some things to go back to deal with, if Miss Lin you If there are any problems that can't be solved, for example, in terms of manpower, just send someone to send me a message." "Thank you, my lord, I will do the rest by myself
. I have worked hard during this time, my lord." Now, then you can go to work first." Binhe Road did not expect Qi Zhengxi to leave so fast, and she wanted to talk about business plans again.
Chapter 267
She thought, if things like milk tea became popular in the capital, most of the people in the capital would come here to buy hers, and the business would be overwhelmed.
She doesn't even have to worry about the coverage of the shop is not wide enough. A wealthy master in the capital will spend a lot of money even if he lives far away, so he can just find someone to buy it.
But her only worry is that if the business is too good in the future, her shop will be overwhelmed, what should I do?
There is no need for Lin Huiru to do too much publicity now, because it has been more than a month since the shop was closed for renovation, and it still eats and has not opened. You must know that in a place like the capital where every inch of land is not open for a day, it means Seeing a loss of several hundred taels, quite a few people began to guess what kind of mystery this shop was playing up, and when they finally found out that this shop was actually under the name of Qi Zhengxi, everyone felt a lot of embarrassment in their hearts. expect.
Lin Huiru still didn't know that Qi Zhengxi was one of the most popular and beloved princes in the capital. He had a good-looking life, gentle and elegant, and a good family. He was a relative of the emperor! Moreover, this Prince Qi has never been in and out of those fireworks places, and he has not even taken a concubine, and has already been regarded by many women as the lover of their dreams.
So on the day when Lin Huiru got everything ready and opened the door for business, before she even had time to set off the firecrackers for a lively atmosphere, there was already an endless stream of people coming in to check at the door.
Because this shop is under the name of Qi Zhengxi, and she is Xu Ziqiao's wife, it is inevitable that the two of them will be unreasonable when they appear together, so Lin Huiru just silently watched the employees she trained for the people who came. Answer one by one.
Soon the first cup of milk tea was sold. Since they didn't know what ghosts and snakes these were, the people who came here ordered a cup out of curiosity, but their expressions were all the same after taking a sip. Her eyes widened in surprise, and some people were amazed. This reaction hit Lin Huixia's chest, and she was relieved for a while.
While Lin Huiru was peeping, since Qi Zhengxi also came to his carriage, more people were attracted, but most of them were at the women's door, and soon there was a long queue. The maid and his master stood there, and the small store of more than 100 square meters was almost squeezed by these people.
"My lord, we haven't seen this shop open for a month. We thought there was something wrong, and we worried for a long time. Congratulations to your lord if you can see that it opened today and the business is so good. And there are these things It's really novel, and the taste is also very strange and delicious. It will definitely become popular in the capital soon." Qi Zhengxi's little fan girl blushed when she lined up next to the emergency room, holding a cup in her hand and just took a sip I was so lucky to be able to see Qi Zhengxi here.
Faced with these, Qi Zhengxi just continued to maintain a gentle smile on his face and smiled, "Then I am grateful for the good words, and I hope to come to business more in the future." "Yes, I will!
My home is very close, There are girls in my family. My sisters, sisters, and aunts and mothers all like sweet things. Besides, this one has tea flavor, milk flavor, and very strange snacks. I believe they will like it very much. I will eat it every day in the future. Order some from here and send them back to the mansion, but I don't know if I can see you every time." When Qi Zhengxi smiled like this, the little girl blushed up to her ears, and then she became confused and stuttered when she spoke. Baba.
"I may not have so much time to come, but if you come frequently, we will see each other again." Qi Zhengxi always smiled when he spoke, which gave people a feeling of spring breeze. It made the young girl Xiaolu bump into nowhere.
There are already quite a few people who are obsessed with wanting to use this to get closer to Qi Zhengxi, so as to sit on the position of Shizi Concubine, and some people are even realistic, let alone Shizi Concubine, even if they are Qi Zhengxi's confidante, That is also worth blowing for a lifetime.
Lin Huiru only showed her head behind her. Seeing that she had to Qi Zhengxi, she gave her a thumbs up in her heart for her ability to flirt with girls. Normally, she thought that Qi Zhengxi was very serious, but she didn't expect to flirt with girls. Also very sleek.
Soon, the news that you could meet Qi Zhengxi by chance when buying milk tea in this shop spread in the capital, and many official women who secretly admired Qi Zhengxi were not lazy, and directly took a carriage to buy it by themselves. He picked up a lot of things and looked around eagerly, hoping to meet Qi Zhengxi.
But what Qi Zhengxi said was just a scene, but these people are also persevering enough. Although they didn't see each other the first time, they still have the spirit of working harder next time, which made Lin Huiru admired for a while. I didn't know what to say what's good.
But she doesn't need to worry about it so much, the business of the shop is booming now, at first the lady would still come here to see Qi Zhengxi, but she felt that this seemed unrealistic over time, but she was also impressed by the taste of the things in her shop, those novelties The taste is not inferior to the famous pastry shop, not to mention that the pastry occupies no place to sit and rest. Many people come here to order a cup of milk tea after buying dim sum, and chat privately with their close friends comfortably. .
In the past few days, the income was almost two hundred taels a day, and Lin Huiru was bouncing on the way home. When she saw Xu Ziqiao, she wanted to rush up and give Xu Ziqiao a kiss.
"How is it? The business is good? Seeing your happy look, I can almost guess it." Although Xu Ziqiao is now a fourth-rank official, he usually goes to court outside the store on weekdays. After the sentence, they dispersed, and returned to the Imperial Academy to continue to be busy with their duties.
"Thanks to Qi Zhengxi, the living Buddha who saved the world. If his name hadn't been publicized, I don't think the business would have been so good, but it was also because of him, although he was attracted by his fame. , but most of the current customers are also impressed by the taste of the things I make, and now they are half a month old, and the daily business is also going up at two hundred taels, and they will soon be able to return to their original books." Lin Huiru bounced into the room humming a little tune, poured herself a cup of tea, and moistened her throat.
"This...you bought it because you were in a good mood?" Xu Ziqiao lowered his gaze and placed it on the rib.
Chapter 268
Lin Huiru only belatedly remembered that she was still carrying a few kilograms of something in her hand, so she hurriedly called someone to take the ribs to the kitchen, then wiped her hands with a handkerchief He smiled and said, "Yeah, the business in the shop is very stable now, and I hardly need to look after it, so I thought that I haven't cooked you a good meal for so long, it used to be At home, my mother cooks, but now I have changed to a cook, I don't know if it suits your taste, maybe I have to look like a lady, and cook for you." "If you want to do it, that's my God.
" It's a great honor, if you don't want to do it, you don't have to be tired, as I said, I will let you live a good life from now on, even if you sleep at home." Although Xu Ziqiao said so, but he heard it in his heart When Lin Huiru had this idea, he was almost happy.
"I'm not tired now. Look at this mansion, although it's big, but there are servants cleaning everything up and down, right? It's rare for me to wash my hands, and you still shirk when I cook you soup and cook a meal." " Lin Huiru pursed her lips and folded her arms, then turned around to look angry.
Seeing her being so upset, the corners of Xu Ziqiao's lips curled up slightly, not because she was angry, but because she thought Lin Huiru was very cute, "Okay, it's my fault, otherwise I shouldn't affect your interest in cooking , may I apologize to you?"
As she spoke, Xu Ziqiao hugged Lin Huiru, coaxing softly next to her, but Lin Huiru's ambiguous ears turned red, "Okay, okay, I don't That's all I have to quarrel with you, then you must have had a hard day, go and have a rest. Your wife, I'm going to cook something delicious for you." Lin Huiru patted
Xu Ziqiao's arm cheerfully after speaking, and turned around strode out the door.
After not cooking for such a long time, she really felt like she forgot to cook. Since he first entered school, he was not used to the food in the cafeteria. Then he led the whole dormitory to buy a set of pots and pans. The dormitory buildings are all smelly.
Wash the ribs, blanch them, add scallions, ginger and seasonings, Lin Huiru put the lid on the casserole and clapped his hands in satisfaction.
The soup was boiled first, and then she went to prepare other ingredients. It was already sunset when the busy work was done. She made three dishes and one soup. Although there were not many things, they were all steaming hot, full of color and fragrance, and gave Xu Ziqiao a treat. A very warm home feeling.
"How is it? I didn't expect that I would do so much. Don't be dazed. Go wash your hands and change your clothes. Come and sit down and eat." Lin Huiru put down her sleeves and filled two more bowls of rice Put it on the table.
How could Xu Ziqiao not know that Lin Huiru is versatile, and he can cook so delicious just one thing. These home-cooked dishes should be simple to him, but they are nothing more than trivial skills.
As soon as Xu Ziqiao sat down, Lin Huiru stretched out his chopsticks to pick up all the dishes on the table one by one. The small rice bowl was full of side dishes, Xu Ziqiao tasted them one by one, and couldn't help feeling that he was really married to the right person.
At first he even felt that Lin Huiru's unruliness let him down, but now he wished to put his previous thoughts into the river and wash them away. If he got a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for? "How is it?" Lin Huiru widened her
eyes Eyes, looking forward to it. Most of the things he makes are in line with his own taste, and I don't know if they are suitable for Xu Ziqiao's taste.
"It's delicious, even better than what your mother-in-law cooks. Your craftsmanship is better than blue." Xu Ziqiao praised, and didn't forget to take another mouthful of rice.
This answer made Lin Huiru heave a sigh of relief. It seems that although he hasn't cooked for such a long time, this precious knife is not old!
"Hurry up, I will try to cook for you every day in the future, so that you can eat something I made with my own hands every day, how about it?" Lin Huiru also took another sip of the pork rib soup she made herself, and sipped it with satisfaction. After his mouth, he jumped up and said.
"It depends on your own mood. One is that you want to get up and get up there. For example, if you want to sleep a little longer, you can just cook me dinner once a day. It's too early in the morning." Xu Ziqiao said softly. He is already very happy to see Lin Huiru smiling and welcoming him home every day.
He finally had a bright future, and his hard work paid off, and he finally won fame and official positions for himself, and he was able to give the woman he liked a home.
These words also warmed Lin Huiru's heart. Although he was too strong and straight at the beginning, but now I find that he is actually a good husband. At least he knows how to be considerate of her hard work, "Okay, then I just do what I can, I always feel that you are thin, and now you have to put on weight, otherwise people should gossip." The next day
Xu Ziqiao ate breakfast made by Lin Huiru, although it was only vegetables The porridge was served with small buns and pickles, but the meal was still very tasty for him.
The carriage stopped outside the palace city, Xu Ziqiao walked into the palace as usual, but someone behind him suddenly stopped him.
"Master Xu."
Xu Ziqiao turned around in response, and was surprised to find that the person who greeted him turned
out to be His Royal Highness Xiang! I gave a hand.
"Master Xu, you don't need to be too polite. I heard that the exam questions were leaked this time, so I changed the questions. Those who were very promising all lost the chance to take the exam because they received a copy of the answer. But Master Xu You are down-to-earth, which makes this king look at you with admiration. A few days ago, I was busy with business, so I didn't have time to say hello to Xu Daren, but today I finally got a chance to meet him, and Mr. Xu is really extraordinary." King Xiang said with a smile, he said These words sounded the alarm in Xu Ziqiao's heart, and Lin Huiru also reminded Xu Ziqiao that it is very likely that the leak of the test questions was advocated by King Xiang.
Now that King Xiang took the initiative to bring this matter up with him, he might have already suspected him.
But Xu Ziqiao is not a fool, he immediately thought of a way to test King Xiang, you know, only the person who distributed it will know who it was given to. "I've never heard of such a lowly job. It's really shocking that there is such a thing. However, it is definitely not the right way to take the path. I can only wrong them to take the exam again next year. It's really a pity." Originally Xu Ziqiao thought that King
Xiang He would avoid it tactfully, but he did not expect King Xiang to laugh in a low voice, "Master Xu, dare to say that he has not received an answer?"
These words made Xu Ziqiao startled, and immediately froze in place.
It really is him!
Chapter 269: Zhou Xuan
"The lower officials don't understand what your Highness means. The examination questions should be prepared by the Ministry of Rites. If the world hears some rumors, they should deal with such matters without being informed. After all, the imperial examinations are the most rigorous, and I hope your Highness will be cautious." ." Xu Ziqiao stepped back and bowed.
Seeing Xu Ziqiao avoiding this matter in such a hurry, King Xiang just smiled. The answer is that he sent someone to take me there. Doesn't he know that Xu Ziqiao is pretending to be stupid with him? But this place is in the palace city after all, the walls have ears, his brothers are all one by one, I wish he could be caught sooner.
"It seems that the king made a mistake. It should have been spread by the people in his hands. There are a lot of gossip. Master Xu, you reminded me that this matter should be checked with the Ministry of Rites. Otherwise, if it is really agreed These rumors have hired a group of useless people, so the century-old country is really in danger!" King Xiang didn't stay any longer after speaking, and entered the palace with his hands behind his back, and every word he said hit Xu Ziqiao heart.
This His Highness is really blatant today. Although he is still trying to restrain himself, Xu Ziqiao can almost conclude that he must have leaked this answer, and even wants to recruit a group of "useless people" to confuse the court.
Seeing that it was almost here, when it was time to go to court, Xu Ziqiao couldn't be more entangled, and hurriedly lowered his head and walked into the palace.
Little did they know that these things that happened outside the palace today had already been noticed by the ubiquitous Qian Yuan's eyeliner.
Knowing about this matter, Qian Yuan was also very chilling. He was very skeptical because of some things, and now the evidence is almost confirmed. What's more, he is the lord of a country, so it is so complicated to convict a person. However, he really loves King Xiang's dead mother and concubine too much.
Therefore, Qian Yuan did not directly convict him now, but beat Qian Yuan directly in the court hall.
"My loves, I've been busy with one thing for a long time, and now it's almost time, so I want to talk about it with you loves." Qian Yuan sat on the dragon chair, condescending, with a soft tone Full of majesty.
"Please speak, Your Majesty." The audience all said in unison.
Qian Yuan nodded, "This matter is very bad. Some time ago, during the imperial examination, due to the negligence of the Ministry of Rites, the examination questions were leaked by those who cared, and some people even circulated the answers among the students, but this incident The matter was seen through in time, so that the situation can be controlled without causing serious consequences. I don't know what you think about this matter." As soon as
this remark came out, the audience was dumbfounded, but in fact this topic is human As everyone knows, this is not a secret. Some time ago, King Xiang was furious in the palace because of this incident, and it has been widely circulated.
The surprise at the moment was just a fake appearance made by everyone in order to cater to Qian Yuan so that he would not look so embarrassed.
"Yinli, I don't know what do you think about this matter? I vaguely remember that you also wanted to take part in an imperial examination to prove your strength, and you even won three yuan at that time. Now I want to know what you think about this matter " Qian Yuan squinted his eyes, and amidst the sighs and discussions among the crowd, he directly named King Xiang.
Xiang Wangdao, who was named, was not in a hurry. He felt the eyes of several brothers gathered, and then he just pursed his lips and stood aside.
"Father remembers correctly. My son-in-law was also in the same year. The imperial examination is nothing more than discovering the talents of the people so that they can serve the country and you, father, and make the country prosperous. But for some reason, In recent years, such things as test questions spreading have happened many times. Until this time, most of the answers were leaked. The minister thought that since the Ministry of Rites was responsible for this matter, it must be that some of them were bribed or had evil intentions. They should be investigated and dealt with promptly. The Ministry of Punishment and Rituals is to serve as an example to others." King Xiang's beautiful words are righteous words, if not everyone present understands what kind of person he is, I'm afraid they can still be fooled by his pious appearance.
Sitting on the dragon chair, Qian Yuan squinted his eyes and nodded, "Yin Li is right, so I have already punished the Ministry of Rites and the others for this matter, and I have found the person who leaked the test questions, but unfortunately he is afraid of crime." Suicide, but the person who can urge him to do such a thing should also be a hidden danger. Since Yinli has a lot of opinions on this matter, then I will leave this matter to you to investigate, remember that within two months I really want to know who is behind the plot!"
As soon as these words came out, the other princes burst into laughter. This good show started from King Xiang, although some of them acted according to the wind, but in the final analysis, King Xiang was the mastermind behind this incident.
Laugh to laugh, but today's question still made other people feel more jealous. Since His Majesty entrusted him to do this matter, it proves that His Majesty is still partial.
After Lin Huiru made breakfast for Xu Ziqiao, she went to bed again, then slept until noon, and then made lunch again after getting up.
As soon as Xu Ziqiao came home, Lin Huiru also prepared a steaming meal.
"By the way, I'm afraid that King Xiang has already begun to suspect me. He came to criticize me many times on the way to the court today, and I avoided it tactfully. I don't know if I have changed his point of view. But the most terrifying thing is that this matter is sheltered from the rain. I have given him the right to conduct a thorough investigation. I believe that the underground will not be unaware of some troubles in this matter. I am afraid that doing so will hurt the hearts of many people." Xu Ziqiao did not forget to share what he saw and heard today. I told Lin Huiru, because now he and Lin Huiru are both new arrivals, not to mention that now Lin Huiru mainly takes care of him at home, and has no time to go out to have fun with others. He is afraid that Lin Huiru will be bored at home. Then I chatted with her about some positive things to relieve my boredom.
After Lin Huiru heard the news, she was so surprised that she even broke her chopsticks. She understood that Xu Ziqiao wanted her to pay more attention to what she said. If it is here, they still have to prepare in advance.
"Since he dared to take the initiative, he must have made sure of it. This matter will not affect him, and His Majesty gave him such a favorable wind. It seems that the rumors that His Majesty favored him turned out to be true. " Lin Huiru took a sip of the soup and narrowed his eyes.
Chapter 270 Trouble
Forget about this partiality, Lin Huiru only felt that the person sitting on the dragon chair was a little unkind when he was partial to such a big matter.
"I can't help it. After all, people still have these aspects. Let's be more careful during this time. When I'm not at home, try to pay attention." Xu Ziqiao put down his chopsticks. After he had a full meal, he had to rush to the Imperial Academy in the afternoon .
Poor people with low official positions go to different places in the morning and afternoon.
Lin Huiru nodded, Xu Ziqiao is in a hurry now. She only had time to say Xu Ziqiao, be careful on the road, and walked away.
The afternoon was very long, and Lin Huiru was full of sleep and energetic, so she couldn't stay idle at home, thinking that the house seemed to be running out of food, so she thought about going out for a walk, and bought some food by the way.
She took her bulging purse, changed her clothes, hummed a little tune and went out. The roads in this capital city are wide and flat, if possible, she really wants to take Xiao Hei out for a stroll, but this dog walking can only be done at night, otherwise during the day, the roads are full of rich and expensive people Man, if she collides with someone, she really can't afford it!
The food in the capital is not much more expensive than that in the village, after all, there are people here to live. Lin Huiru was always bargaining, and after buying a full dish, she was ready to go back home, but she didn't expect to be bumped on the shoulder when she was not paying attention.
An untied dish fell to the floor.
Now her hands are full, and there are still many people passing by here and there. Lin Huiru can only carefully put some vegetables in her arms, not caring whether she will get her clothes dirty, but Just when she was about to squat down to pick up the bundle of vegetables, there was an extravagant dress in front of her, and a hand with sharp bones.
"Miss, this dress is so pretty, please don't get soiled by the dirt on the root of the vegetable. I don't know where the girl lives. I'll take you back?" The voice of the visitor was clear and hearty. I was stunned again, I have to say that there are indeed many beautiful men in the capital.
Some time ago, she lost her money belt, and when she looked up, it was Qi Zhengxi. Today she dropped a bundle of vegetables, and when she looked up, she was a son of a wealthy family, she looked very bright and gentlemanly.
"Thank you, but no need, my house is nearby. I tried to tie the rope just now and didn't tie it properly, so I accidentally fell on the ground. Thank you for helping me." Lin Huiru didn't know the identity of the person who came, smiled and thanked Just took the food.
"Okay then, the girl is careful on the road, it's better to check if it's fastened now." The hearty man reminded.
Hearing what he said, Lin Huiru hurriedly looked down. Fortunately, the other dishes were tied up very tightly. Although it was just a detail, even if her hands hurt, the dishes inside would not move at all.
"It should be all right, and thank you son for helping me this time." Lin Huiru had things in his hands, so he could only wave the dishes in his hands to bid farewell to this man.
Seeing Lin Huiru's leaving back, the hearty man smiled.
"Your Highness, that one is Xu Ziqiao's wife who has recently gotten close to the son of the Hou family." The people around him saw him enthusiastically and hurriedly stood up and introduced.
King Jin nodded, "My king knows. Don't underestimate this girl. The famous shop in the capital called Chayu is currently run by him behind the scenes. Fu Shizi's shop, but it is only under his name, in fact, it seems that this girl made all the things." "I didn't
expect your highness to be so well informed, so this woman is really capable. That rain made many shops jealous, and it is now popular in the circle of ladies from aristocratic families." Hearing what his master said, the guard lowered his head in shame, and then he couldn't help but look away. He looked at Lin Huiru's bouncing figure.
"Because I was curious, I went to check and found that she was actually mentioned by Linglong's cousin. Later, I found out that this woman's temperament changed drastically after falling into the water, and she started a business in a small county. It is very prosperous, but it is a little famous in that county." King Jin walked and talked, and before he knew it, the road they were walking happened to be the road towards Cha Yu.
The guard nodded at the side, "It's really strange. After falling into the water once, you can change your temperament drastically. Maybe it's something like a head injury. Or maybe it's a blessing in disguise. Your Highness, take the time to go to that shop in person today It's not easy to go there."
"Who knows? There are many strange things about this woman. Think about how a woman can start from nothing and make a living in a small county. And being involved with the prince of the Hou family, do you think she will be a simple person?" King Jin said, shaking his fan.
"It's easy, why isn't it easy? Today, when I was in court, my father was so stupid that I handed over the leaked test questions to my brother to investigate. In this way, I don't have anything to do with us. He was too busy wiping his own buttocks before it was too late, and there was no need for us to intrigue with that elder brother. And now it seems that not only the woman who is going after the name of Qi Zhengxi, but also many young masters want to meet some women there. It's a nice place, it's rare to have free time, why don't you go and have a look?" Compared to King Xiang, who is ruthless and scheming, King Jin is a very hidden person.
The guards are not qualified to go to the court with their masters, and they are very shocked after knowing the news, because the limelight of this incident has spread throughout the court, even if it is a small pot that can go to the court, everyone should know this This thing is most likely done by King Xiang, and it is impossible that there will be no news from the underground. In this case, to leave this matter to King Xiang, this partiality is too obvious.
"Your Highness, don't be discouraged. His Royal Highness King Xiang is in such a hurry. This matter has already seriously hurt his vitality. Not only did he not recruit troops, but he also caused unnecessary trouble for himself. His Majesty may do so. It's possible that he's trying to make trouble by delaying it." It was because he was afraid that his master would be unhappy, so he hurriedly said good things to the side.
"It's nothing, my father has always spoiled him like that, and I don't know when I can give up my position and leave him alone." King Jin narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.
