Chapter 291: It Works
"These people are all chosen by my mother. If someone touches the hairpin next time, the spirit dog will bite off one of his arms without hesitation." Ji Linglong looked at Lin Huiru winkingly, and said step by step.
As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people were very disturbed, not to mention those who stole the hairpin, those who did not steal were also trembling.
Now Xiao Hei stands taller than a grown man, let alone biting off an arm, or biting off his neck is not a problem.
Lin Huiru squinted her eyes and carefully observed the actions of those people. Although some people trembled because they were afraid of Xiao Hei, those with a guilty conscience behaved absolutely differently.
Xiao Hei walked by row by row, until it came to a maidservant, the maid's hand kept shrinking, and the grunting sound threatened by Xiao Hei finally stretched out her hand and then retracted it.
"Take it!" Ji Linglong ordered, and the maid was dragged away.
After capturing another man who was terrified and trying to escape, Lin Huiru also released the others.
"Sister Lin, you are such a powerful dog. Could it be that my mother's crested hairpin really smells good?" Ji Linglong asked curiously, even Jiang Yu and Qi Zhengxi were also very curious.
But Lin Huiru just smiled, "He's a spirit dog."
In fact, it's not entirely true, it's just that Xiao Hei has human nature, because she secretly pointed out to Xiao Hei the few people who maintain the hairpin, and she also accidentally discovered that, Unlike other dogs, Xiao Hei can even recognize faces and remember people.
"Mrs. Lin's dog is really extraordinary. I'm afraid the hounds used by the royal family to hunt can't compare to it. The difference is in the size alone." Qi Zhengxi also praised behind his back.
Xiao Hei's tail was raised high because of this, Lin Huiru just smiled and said nothing.
After the interrogation, just like Lin Huiru's assumption, it was indeed the crested hairpin that these two people planned to steal.
This man is a servant of the consort's mansion, and the woman is the maidservant of a lady official. Unfortunately, this maidservant is with a violent master, so she will be beaten and scolded every day. A person approached the door.
"Who is that person?" Jiang Yu stepped forward with his braids in his hands, the person in front of him was already scarred from the beating.
Even so, the man just shook his head frantically, "I don't know, I really don't know, he covered his face and said that as long as I steal the crested hairpin and sell it to him, he will give me a lot of money. "
You really want money and don't want your life. Stealing a crested hairpin is a death penalty for the entire family. But you believe someone you have never met so easily. If you believe me, I don't believe it." Lin Huiru sneered One sound.
After hearing Lin Huiru's words, the man seemed a little guilty. He turned his head away, but met Jiang Yuyang's whip, "If you don't say it, the method of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is even more cruel. "
"I don't know who he is! My lord, please forgive her. It's because I became obsessed with money for a while. It has nothing to do with her. She is only seventeen years old and cannot die with me." Looking at the The man was crying, but Lin Huiru couldn't feel any sympathy at all.
"Okay, what about the hairpin?" Lin Huiru squinted and asked again.
"The hairpin... I've already given it to him." The man hesitated, and he didn't dare to meet Lin Huiru's scrutinizing eyes. He was always evasive, and this look told Lin Huiru that this person was a fraud, and he was sure. He lied to them, otherwise he wouldn't have such a guilty expression.
"That's right, you're a good lie, a mere servant. I've already killed this yard, and the high places are all comforting. Even if a fly flies in, it will be noticed. If that person comes in, we can still If you can't catch it, you can't do it." After Jiang Yu finished speaking, he gave him another whip, crying and howling very harshly.
Ji Linglong couldn't stand it anymore, so Qi Zhengxi took her out.
"I'm not lying. Don't you guys have that amazing dog? If you go and smell it, you might find it. I really don't know who he is." That man continued to sell miserably, and Lin Huiru was no longer in the mood to listen. He said that there are stories about the old and the young.
But this person is probably lying. Judging from his previous performance, Lin Huiru feels that this person's words should not be credible.
"I'll give you one more chance to confess, or I'll send you to the Ministry of Punishment and let you try their methods, and your seventeen-year-old friend, by the way, it's possible that you will be rewarded if you have the old and the young. I have to die with you." If you really want to be soft, then come hard. If it doesn't work to threaten him, then send him directly. Anyway, it has been confirmed that this matter is this What people do, the rest has nothing to do with them. If you start looking for people in the future, it will not be aimlessly looking for a needle in a haystack.
But what Lin Hui didn't expect was that this method worked.
After the man faltered and found the place where the hairpin was hidden, Jiang Yu decisively escorted him away.
Just as Lin Huiru breathed a sigh of relief, Ji Linglong hit her nose in the next second, "Sister Lin, thank you so much, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't know how to explain it to my mother." "
Okay Come down first, there are too many people, how is it, is the hairpin damaged?" Lin Huiru pulled Ji Linglong off helplessly, and asked with concern.
Ji Linglong nodded again and again, "It's nothing, he kept it pretty well, it's just a little dusty, a little rubbing should not leave even a trace, but I still have to take care of today's matter, thank you for your help today What kind of poor hospitality, I will definitely treat you to a meal some other day, Sister Lin." "
It's nothing more than a small effort, after all, it's not a trivial matter to lose such a rightful thing, if someone who wants to If you use this hairpin to do bad things, I'm afraid you won't be able to clean it up by jumping into the Yellow River at that time. You should pay attention to it in the future. Even people in California who are aggressive in the public should be careful, and don't let your guard down easily. The high-weight ones are different from us." Lin Huiru waved his hand helplessly, and he was able to get away after a long while with her.
After returning home, Lin Huiru was very emotional. She could already imagine what would happen if this hairpin was taken by someone with a heart. After all, this hairpin can have great power, just like the royal palace. same card.
Seeing things is more effective than seeing people. If the real-name system was implemented in ancient times, maybe there would not be so many troubles, but they still want to use some things to exercise their rights. There are pros and cons.
Chapter 293 Birthday Cake
As Lin Huiru's business in the capital is getting better and better, there are surprisingly many people who come to visit here, and all of them are famous people. Lin Huiru broke his leg just to receive them.
"Don't come here anymore. The recent expenses in the mansion are all spent on treating them to dinner. We can't waste so much on weekdays." Lin Huiru lay on the bed with her pillows in her arms, and there was only thunder but no rain.
Bai Shu felt helpless looking at her like this. Since she had more and more contact with Lin Huiru and got to know Lin Huiru more and more, her whole person's favor and curiosity towards Lin Huiru gradually increased.
It was the first time she had seen someone so unassuming, and many people were envious of the income of tomorrow's income, but she was still stingy.
"It can't be helped, there are comings and goings, although they came to eat and bring gifts, right?" Bai Zhu comforted.
"That's true." Lin Huiru regained her senses and nodded. Thanks to those people's jade cabbage, Yu Ruyi, she saved several times of jade purchases, which was indirectly saved.
But those who sent fabrics made her very depressed.
"Ma'am, the fabrics in this warehouse are piled up, don't you want to make some clothes?" use.
"I don't want to wear it. The thick ones will kill me. I want to murder people in hot weather. You can choose some suitable ones and distribute them to everyone to make some clothes." Lin Huiru waved his hands, weakly.
Taking care of a huge mansion is much more difficult than she thought.
No wonder those ladies are busy every day.
"Thank you ma'am, the maidservant will go pick some frivolous ones. Madam, you can pick some more clothes to make, otherwise the days will get hotter and there will be more garden parties." Yulian persuaded.
Lin Huiru nodded at this point. If she didn't make a few more gorgeous clothes, she might be like a few days ago, and she would be treated as a maid when attending a banquet.
With nothing to do, and the sun not too harsh today, Lin Huiru was dragged out of the door by Baishu, and within two steps, she saw a familiar person.
The man saw her too.
Next to that person was a familiar person.
Lin Huiru didn't know the identity of King Jin, but she knew Jiang Yu's identity. She should have thought that people with extraordinary clothes would not be small.
"I didn't expect to see you again today. It's really destined." King Jin smiled and saluted.
Lin Huiru nodded, and Jiang Yu opened his mouth next to him, but thinking that Lin Huiru didn't know, it must be because King Jin didn't say anything, so he didn't say much.
"Your troublesome day." Lin Huiru said politely again, and when she turned her head, she saw Jiang Yu winking there.
"It doesn't matter..." King Jin shook his head, and was about to say something more, when a man ran up on a horse, and after whispering a few words, King Jin was shocked, said goodbye in a hurry, and left.
The subordinate completed the task and turned to follow, but was stopped by Jiang Yu, "What happened?" "
Commander, it's not convenient to say this, you will know soon." The man had a bitter face After speaking, he took off his clothes and left.
Jiang Yu pouted, "Mrs. Lin, are you and King Jin old acquaintances?"
King Jin? What King Jin?
Lin Huiru was taken aback, "Commander Jiang... the one just now was His Highness King Jin!?" "
Yes, Don't you know?" After Jiang Yu finished asking, he answered on his own, "It's no wonder that women don't get involved in court affairs very much, and it's normal if they don't know each other." "...Why didn't you remind me." Lin
Huiru The voice stopped abruptly, and suddenly he understood why Jiang Yu's face was paralyzed just now.
"Forget it, His Royal Highness King Jin is not such a stingy person, Mrs. Lin, take your time, and I have to go back to see what happened." Jiang Yu was very concerned, and could make King Jin turn pale with shock. , must not be trivial.
Lin Huiru nodded, waved the man away, and bumped into an acquaintance again.
The capital city is big and small, and Lin Huiru is an acquaintance when he goes out.
"Sister Lin, I didn't find you when I went to your house just now, and I didn't expect to meet you on the street." Princess An Ning took her hand affectionately, and moved closer.
"His Royal Highness is here today, but what's the matter?" Lin Huiru asked curiously.
Princess An Ning looked around, then lowered her voice, "I want to ask you for a favor, it will be my father's birthday soon, I know my father loves me very much, so I also want to prepare for my father's birthday." A gift."
"Simple." Lin Huiru replied without thinking about it.
"Sister Lin, do you know what to give?!" Princess Anning was both surprised and happy. Although she was naughty and active, her mind was not that active.
"I know, but it's a bit troublesome. Do you want to learn from me, or do you want me to make it as a gift for you?" When Lin Huiru thought of celebrating her birthday, the first thing that came to mind was the birthday cake.
Since the emperor can drink milk tea, it should be sweet.
Princess An Ning struggled for a while, then smiled awkwardly, "I'm clumsy, sister Lin, if your thing is troublesome, can you put my name on it?" "No problem, you can come and pick it up when the time comes
. "Lin Huiru nodded. She wanted to try baking in this era, but she didn't have time to prepare it. She just took this opportunity...
Lin Huiru suddenly remembered something. It seemed that Xu Ziqiao's birthday was coming. Ji Linglong, the emperor again, and Xu Ziqiao, there are really not many people celebrating birthdays at this time.
"No, no, no, I want to see what you are going to do first... My royal father doesn't lack anything, and I don't know what to give as a gift." Princess An Ning stuck out her tongue embarrassingly. "I'm sorry to trouble you..."
"Then why not tomorrow, or at this time, you can taste it again. It is guaranteed to be something you have never eaten before." Lin Huiru smiled.
Speaking of food, Princess An Ning's eyes lit up, "My father likes sweet food, not spicy food."
"I see, it's sweet." Lin Huiru was very helpless.
After saying goodbye to Princess Anning, Lin Huiru was worried that there was not enough jade in the space, so she turned around and went to the jade market to buy some. She has been here several times, and because the purchase volume is not small, she is also very familiar with the boss here. .
"Madam Lin is here again, how much do you want this time?" The boss here is surnamed Qian, and he is one of the few businessmen who owns a private jade mine.
Lin Huiru nodded, "It's still the same fineness as before, let's buy more this time." "
Okay, but excuse me, Mrs. Lin, you don't seem to be in the jade business, why do you buy so much ordinary jade? That top-quality jade is worthy of your temperament." Qian Xing's smooth-talking business came up again, and he praised Lin Huiru when he pulled Lin Huiru.
Chapter 292 The Shen Family
What Lin Huiru didn't expect was that after Xu Ziqiao came back that night, she heard a huge gossip. After that person was sent to the Ministry of Punishment, he couldn't stand the beating soon, and recruited everything. It turned out that he was ordered behind the scenes. It was not someone else, but the woman named Shen Jiao who had tried to get close to them several times before.
"Why did he do this? I remember that it seemed to be because of the previous incident, but Shen Jiao and his whole family were implicated. Only married women are exempted from the trouble. If he still does this, it doesn't mean he straightened his back Hitting the knife?" Lin Huiru asked.
Xu Ziqiao shook his head. He only knew about this matter from other people in the Imperial Academy. He himself is not a gossip person, but the air is the place with the best news, especially when they belong to the emperor. The news can be said to be the most well-informed person.
"However, to do such a thing at this time, it should be a dog jumping over the wall. But the death order has been issued a long time ago, and people probably have downloaded it. I don't understand what is the point of her getting that slit now." Xu Ziqiao analyzed.
Lin Huiru smacked her mouth, "This is really elusive, but in this way, she will lose her life that she could have saved. If the Shen family hadn't committed a lot of evil back then, maybe they won't be punished now. That time, except for a lot of people from King Xiang, the court should be relatively peaceful now." "On the contrary,
because there are not many people from King Xiang, the other princes began to feel that they have hope. All of them are eager to try, and the current court is more complicated than before, all for the sake of competing to perform in front of the emperor." Xu Ziqiao sighed, and the current corruption of the court is not just looking for some remonstrance. The minister can solve it. The root of the problem now is that none of the princes is suitable to inherit the great rule.
Lin Huiru waved her hand to express that she didn't want to continue this topic anymore. Thinking about these problems gave her a headache. After those dishonest bastards came to power, they should all be old and a lot of things should have nothing to do with them Now, worrying too much now may cause wrinkles.
In this court, no one can clean himself. The cleaner the washing, the more people want to blacken you. Lin Huiru's plan is to make Xu Ziqiao imagine that they will return to the town. There is nothing more comfortable than this to spend the rest of your life in peace and stability after going to school.
But at first Lin Huiru thought that this matter was over, but they didn't expect that they would welcome a long-lost face the next day.
Li Kee.
"Rare guest, you haven't been here for a long time. I haven't had time to visit you since I came back to work last time. How is it now?" The spirit of the literati does not have the intriguing and struggling temperament of the court.
Li Ji scratched his head and smiled embarrassingly. Now he is equivalent to studying in a different place. How can he compare with before? The reason why he has no face to come to Xu Ziqiao is because he thinks he looks like him now a joke.
"I'm still like that. Sometimes even if I try hard, I may still have a lot of mistakes, but it seems that there will be another exam in a year, and those who pass it seem to be able to go directly to the Imperial Academy or the cabinet and just learn first." , then I will be able to be in the same place as you, brother Xu, but I think you should have made a fortune by the speed of your promotion and wealth, brother Xu, right?" Li Ji teased a few words embarrassedly while drinking tea.
However, Xu Ziqiao's speed of getting promoted and getting rich is really fast. It is enough to make him a fourth-rank official at the beginning, which is enough to shock everyone in the court. But now it has been a long time, until Xu Ziqiao was promoted to the third rank, more and more people in the Hanlin Academy admired him.
Since then, the gap in Li Ji's heart has grown bigger and bigger, and he has become more and more embarrassed to see Xu Ziqiao.
"It's better to be down-to-earth in being an official. The higher you fly, the harder you fall. It's not like you haven't heard of this kind of truth, let alone in a place like the court, I think it's safe and secure. It's good, I don't want to think about those unrealistic things." Xu Ziqiao looked at Li Ji and always felt that Li Ji seemed to have changed a lot since he disappeared for a while, and his whole person had changed a lot, but he didn't know why, he I don't know how to ask the question,
"Not everyone is like Brother Xu. You think so, but I just want to make a fortune and be envied by everyone in the future, but I don't have that ability." Li Ji said and sighed. His tone of voice and the same look flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Lin Huiru is really a villain, she saw that Li Ji had received help from Li Ji before she thought about it like this, so she said, "Although we are not doing well now, if you encounter any trouble, you can always come You can come to us."
After hearing what Lin Huiru said, Li Ji's eyes lit up, but the entanglement in his heart made him hesitate to speak out what was in his heart.
After a long while, Li Ji smiled awkwardly, "Actually, it's nothing. I just feel that it's not good to avoid myself all the time. I want to see you and see that you are all doing well. I am relieved and have nothing else to do. What's more, it would be even better if I can have another meal cooked by my sister-in-law." "
Yes, I cook for Xu Ziqiao every night now, and my skills should have improved a lot. You are alone in the capital It's lonely to take it with you, if it's not too far away, you can come to eat every day." Lin Huiru said politely.
"Since I have this sentence from my sister-in-law, if I have time, I will definitely come to trouble you, but now I am still busy with my studies, so I won't stay here." Li Ji hurriedly turned around and left.
Xu Ziqiao and Lin Huiru looked at each other, both felt that Li Ji was very strange today, but neither of them could ask.
"This capital city is really a place that can't be described in words. I always feel that I haven't seen each other for a few days. Li Ji seems to have changed a lot. I always feel that he has gone through a lot of vicissitudes." Lin Huiru sighed, and now he It's hard to imagine Li Ji and the sunny boy before him together.
"Maybe he is busy with his studies. If he can forget about eating and sleeping and study hard for a period of time, he should be able to enter the Imperial Academy or the cabinet soon, and then he won't have to worry about making a living." Xu Ziqiao narrowed his eyes, He thought that although Li Ji could stay in the capital now, the student's subsidy was very little. Every day must be very difficult. They have been classmates for more than ten years, so they need more help.
Chapter 294: King Yun
Lin Huiru smiled helplessly, "Boss Qian, it's inconvenient for me to tell you the purpose of this jade, but I'm not a person who likes to wear jewelry, so I keep it when I buy it. It's useless.
" Wearing the right jade is even more radiant." Qian Xing continued to boast.
"Boss, we have cooperated many times, so let's skip these scenes." Lin Huiru rubbed the center of her eyebrows, and she was still in a hurry to go back to make cakes.
And she has done experiments, whether it is good jade or poor quality jade, good quality jade will last longer than poor quality jade at the same price, but always buy good jade...
She is tight on money.
Only then did Qian Xing stop talking, "I'm sorry ma'am, this old problem has happened again, but I still want to say something more, if you always need a lot of jade, ma'am, it's cheaper to cooperate directly with the mine."
" Boss Qian, don't you have a mine?" Lin Huiru laughed.
Hearing what she said, Qian Xing quickly waved his hands, "To tell you the truth, my jade mine is very small, and I've almost finished mining it recently, and I'm having a headache because of this." "It's also uncertain
. , then I wish you, Boss Qian, to mine good jade as soon as possible." Lin Huiru thought for a while, but she didn't know any auspicious words in this regard, so she could only prevaricate in this way.
Qian Xing nodded, "Thank you, Mrs. Lin. If you want more, Mrs. Lin, I will introduce a friend to you. His jade is a first-hand resource, and it is cheaper than other stoves." Lin Huiru
nodded Nodding, "That would be great."
Of course she wanted to save money, but when she saw that person, Lin Huiru always felt that that person was not the real boss.
"Mrs. Lin, it just so happens that my friend is here as a guest. Boss Yan, this is Xu Shidu's wife, surnamed Lin. I may not be able to pay for my business in the future, so I will make it easier for you two." After Xing finished speaking, he ordered someone to serve tea and went out.
Boss Yan, who looked to be in his early twenties, had no expression on his face, and sat upright, but he didn't look like a rich or powerful person, but rather a guard.
"My name is Yan Xun, Mrs. Lin, please sit down." Yan Xun said, her voice was the same kind of coldness. ââLin Huiru sat down and continued to look at him curiously, " Is Boss Yan the owner of the jade
mine?"
I will offer you a suitable price." Yan Xun said.
"I'm a little curious..." Before Lin Huiru finished speaking, he was interrupted by the man.
"Madam, you don't have to be curious about the identity of my master."
Lin Huiru shook her head, "I'm not curious, but you have to tell me which jade mine the jade comes from.
" Inspection, the other wives don't have to worry about it." Yan Xun said again.
"Are you all so stern-faced when doing business? Are you not afraid to run away customers in anger? And you don't tell the source of this jade mine. It's the first time I've heard of this rule." Lin Huiru propped her chin, and the person in front of her Man is like a robot.
It seems that the source of jade is a secret, and his master is also a secret.
"Those who want to do business are straightforward people. If Madam minds, you can find someone else." Yan Xie's words have no other meaning, and others will always give people a feeling of contempt or pride when they say such words.
But when these words came out of Yan Xun's mouth, it was like an ordinary sentence without any other meaning.
This time Lin Huiru couldn't help being even more curious. What she was curious about was how high a profit would be to be able to treat such a big client like her? Although the jade she wanted was not high-quality,
but This is a lot, and it is not a small number for ordinary people.
But when they got here, it seemed that whether or not this matter would be successful had nothing to do with them.
"For business, of course I do, as long as the jade I buy is of ordinary quality." Lin Huiru said leisurely.
Yan Xie nodded, "I probably learned about your buying habits from Boss Qian, and we can provide a few more taels of jade with us, which will not be less than Boss Qian's." "Okay,
then I'm sorry to bother you, just send it to my house." Lin Huiru just felt that talking with him was becoming more and more boring, so she waved her hands and got up and left.
She hasn't made a chiffon cake for a long time, and there is no electricity or oven in this era, so it is difficult to control the temperature if she wants to make a simple one by herself. She promised to let Princess Anning eat it tomorrow, but today she will have to work harder to make it Something is done.
After returning home, Lin Huiru ordered her servants to build a bread kiln directly. According to the drawings she drew, she also made some extra decorations for the bread kiln, adding two ears.
The bread kiln is in the shape of a rabbit, and the mouth of the rabbit is a cave where things can be baked.
It took almost half a day to burn the kiln. Lin Huiru entered the space, exchanged some raw materials, and prepared to show off his skills in the kitchen.
But the only thing that makes her difficult in this era is.
Beat the egg whites.
She held her chin and found ten servants, and replaced them when she was tired, and finally got rid of the egg whites. This kind of difficulty made Lin Huiru sigh while holding the egg whites.
If she wanted to do a cake business in ancient times, she might have to make an egg beater.
According to the steps of chiffon cake, Lin Huiru made the batter and put it into the mold, and then baked it in the bread kiln.
She rubbed her hands and sat on the chair anxiously waiting.
I kept praying in my heart that nothing would go wrong.
Fortunately, this cake is very impressive. Except for a little overheating, everything else is just right in terms of fluffiness and softness. Lin Huiru found a few strong men to whip the cream, and rushed to make it before dark decorate.
A chocolate cream fruit cake turned out before Xu Ziqiao came home.
"What are these?" When Xu Ziqiao returned to his room, he saw small triangles on the table. Except for the fruits he knew, he had never seen anything else.
"This is a dessert I made. I want to name it Cake. You can try it." Lin Huiru was so confident that she tasted a piece of the cake when she was cutting it. It's no worse than the modern ones with all the things.
And as long as it is decorated, it still looks very appetizing.
Xu Ziqiao picked up the plate curiously, and when he lowered his head to smell the smell, he accidentally got some butter on it, but the sweet taste whetted his appetite. After taking a bite, his puzzled expression immediately turned into surprise, until he finished eating Xu Ziqiao didn't feel tired of this one.
Chapter 295 Visiting
"The taste of this is really the best I've ever eaten. Even the dim sum chefs in the palace can't make it." Xu Ziqiao praised.
Lin Huiru smiled, sat down contentedly, and ate in small bites, "I wanted to sell this, but I didn't have time to do it until Princess Anning asked me to help give His Majesty a birthday present today. I remembered."
"I see, this taste is very novel, I think His Majesty will also like it." Xu Ziqiao nodded and ate another piece.
"Originally, I wanted to make something for you on your birthday, but I didn't expect that the first one made by me would enter the palace." Lin Huiru is a person who pays great attention to rituals. It always feels like something is missing.
Seeing Lin Huiru's tangled face, Xu Ziqiao smiled gratifiedly. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Lin Huiru's forehead, "Stop thinking about it, didn't I eat the first one you made?" "That's different, isn't
this It's your birthday, and I didn't do well with this cake, the cake inside was a bit burnt, I always feel that it will be a pity." Lin Huiri continued to pull his face.
Xu Ziqiao hugged her into his arms, "It would be nice to accumulate more experience, maybe you can be a better one when it's my birthday, I'm already very happy if you think so.
" Lin Huiru pursed her lips and nodded against Xu Ziqiao's handsome face.
That's right, compared to what she knows, it's only rare.
There are cream cakes, ice cream cakes, mousse cakes and mille crepe cakes. There are so many kinds of cakes.
Lin Huiru did not treat others badly for the remaining cakes, and divided them one by one. Just because of one piece of cake, Lin Huiru's status in everyone's hearts was much higher.
When Princess Anning came the next day, Lin Huiru was still mounting flowers.
"Wow!!! This is too delicate. I have never seen such a delicate dessert. Compared with this lotus cake in the palace, it is much simpler." Princess Anning pushed open the kitchen door by herself. But Lin Huiru was so frightened that with a shake of her hand, a beautiful peach blossom changed immediately.
Lin Huiru reluctantly scraped off the cream carefully, "Public official, don't be surprised, it will be fine soon, let's go out and wait for a while." "
I want to see what you do, Sister Lin." Princess Anning came over, but chased away the servants who were holding the door, "Go out, what should I do if I learned Sister Lin's craft
secretly. " After preparing the tired tea, he cut the cake into pieces and took it out.
Almost impatient, Princess Anning lost her appetite for food, "The white thing on top is so sweet and delicious, what is it made of?" "
It's made of milk, and the bottom is a cake baked with eggs and flour , how, then you won't lose face, princess?" Lin Huiru asked with a joke.
Princess An Ning shook her head again and again, she wiped off the cream from her mouth, "How come, I will be able to move the emperor to such a mess by then, there is no shortage of anything in the palace, those who send some valuable things are the ones I don't know my father, Sister Lin, you don't know, those things were auctioned off and exchanged for gold and silver piles in the treasury, and my father didn't mean to take a look." Lin Huiru smiled helplessly
, Princess Anning, is this a leak of secrets? Will she be silenced?
"Sister Lin, if you follow this, you will surely amaze everyone." Princess Anning said happily.
Looking at the simple appearance in front of her, Lin Huiru was very helpless. She wanted to make it more gorgeous, but something was missing.
"Sister Lin, can I take some of the leftovers back to eat? Every time I eat something you cook, I don't want to eat anything made by the cook in the mansion." Princess Anning opened her eyes wide. Just the watery eyes are even more pity at this moment.
Lin Huiru nodded, "If the princess likes it, just take it."
"Sister Lin, you are the best and best person I have ever seen. A must! Your husband is married and you really found a treasure. If a woman like you, Sister Lin, enters the palace and becomes a concubine, then there is no need to compete for favor, and everyone will give you the treasure." Princess An Ning said as she spoke. Flying away, Lin Huiru was startled, and hurriedly blocked Princess Anning's mouth by wiping her mouth.
If others listen to this, it will be over.
Lin Huiru was relieved to take a nap after finally sending away the one who had no handle on her mouth,
but about the birthday cake...
"What did An Ning eat today?" Qian Yuan cared about his daughter while reviewing the memorial. appetite.
After Zhou Youde reported Princess Anning's menu, Qian Yuan frowned, "She eats too little meat, let's see if it's the cook's problem." After hearing this, Zhou Youde almost
cried for the cook, "Your Majesty, Princess The house has been changed several times, and you have tasted it, but the princess really doesn't like meat." "
Hey, I don't force her, didn't you eat snacks today?" Qian Yuan asked again.
"Eat." Zhou Youde nodded hastily, "I went to Mrs. Lin's to eat. I heard that Mrs. Lin made a new thing called cake. The princess liked it so much, so I packed a lot and returned to the princess mansion.
" Aroused Qian Yuan's interest, "What is cake?"
"I don't know, but according to the servants, it is delicate and delicious..." Zhou Youde closed his mouth as he said that, he was afraid that the cake would be dry. Yuan's gluttons also aroused.
"Is it something from Lin Hui's shop?" Qian Yuan asked again.
Zhou Youde shook his head, "It seems that it hasn't been sold yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qian Yuan's expression lowered a little.
The emperor's birthday is getting closer and closer, and the whole country is very busy to give gifts. Only Princess An Ning is happy and leisurely, but Qian Yuan is heartbroken.
On the birthday of the Son of Heaven, officials of the third rank and above can bring their wives and children to participate. Of course Xu Ziqiao also brought Lin Huiru. Their gifts were very ordinary and they were all bought with money, which made Qian Yuan even more disappointed.
He also thought that funny little girl could give something interesting.
But today, Princess Anning is very beautiful.
As soon as the banquet started, everyone was chattering, and as soon as Lin Huiru opened his mouth, he smelled a strong smell of gunpowder.
"After all, we are not as attentive as the empress. Your majesty likes to eat sweets, so the empress has learned for a long time and made his majesty's favorite tremella and lotus seed soup. Those of us who are stupid are far from having this skill." This sentence The words seem to be compliments, but in fact the meaning of ridicule is obvious.
Chapter 296 Congratulations
This has become the mother of a country, and the gifts are so ordinary, but it is too shabby to give a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup as a gift.
But the ones who were snickering were all unfavored concubines. Lin Huiru curled her lips while sitting on the table. Things are much stronger.
Although the words reached the ears of the emperor and the empress, it was not convenient for them to get angry in this scene today, but their faces were a little ugly. Lin Huiru did not expect that the empress would be so strongly targeted in the harem.
Today is obviously a good day, but the women in this place seem to have nothing to do when they are full and full. They are all talking about this and that, even if it is a compliment, the derogatory meaning is clear No way.
"What's the matter with the food? My father likes to eat tremella and lotus seed soup. The tremella and lotus seed soup made by the empress is also a must. You need to talk about it here. Today I will give it to my father." I don't know if my father will dislike it." Princess An Ning was straight-tempered, she stood up and gave those harem concubines a look, and raised her voice to ask directly.
As a senior daughter slave, Qianyuan was moved to tears when she heard Princess Anning's words, and shook her head again and again, "Why? I like everything you make, but I don't know what you did today. What."
"Birthday cake!" Princess Anning smiled, and clapped her hands after speaking, and then the servants brought the cake in.
The package is tightly packed, and there is a very delicate layer of clutch outside the contour. After putting the clutch on the table, Princess Anning originally thought that everyone would be amazed by the cake made by Lin Huiru, but let What he didn't expect was that after the piece of cake was taken apart, it was a mess inside, and he didn't know who made it into a ball maliciously.
Lin Huiru gasped, but many people were secretly laughing and discussing.
"This cake is really unique. We can't appreciate the unique shape, and we don't know what it is made of. I wonder if I can ask the princess for advice?" Xiangfei opened her mouth again to mock, and the angry Princess Anning Eye circles are red.
Amidst the discussions among the crowd, Qian Yuan's face was actually gloomy and terrifying. His precious little cotton padded jacket was finally made for him as a gift by himself, and whoever had the intention to destroy it, otherwise it would be safe for safekeeping. How could it be possible that the sticky box was everywhere, and what he could see, but others were sarcasm, was enough to show how malicious these people were towards the princess.
Lin Huiru also clenched her fists. This is what she worked hard for. She got up early in the morning to make these things. The servants in the family were almost trained to have unicorn arms by her. The good cake turned out to be If she said destroy it, she would destroy it, but she wanted to know who was so vicious.
"Father, it didn't look like this..." Princess Anning sniffed aggrievedly. The tears in her eyes were not only because the cake was destroyed, but also because the food she wanted to eat was so messed up. A ball, can not eat.
Seeing Qian Yuan's complexion was not good, Zhou Youde hurriedly called someone to give some instructions.
Long before today, Lin Huiru had an extremely bad premonition. After all, Princess Anning was the only one to be loved. Some people were jealous and resentful. Such as still left behind.
She found Princess An Ning's servant girl, and after giving a few instructions in a low voice, she saw the servant girl nodded repeatedly and went out with a grateful face.
"Princess, don't be too sad. It should be a snack that is easy to destroy. Maybe the palace people who carried it were careless or didn't know what kind of snack was in it, so it was a bit sloppy." I don't know who is next to it Miss Jia excused herself with a sympathetic look.
Lin Hui couldn't stand it at this moment, so what kind of good person could be who makes sarcastic remarks at this time? "This lady is wrong, today is the gift from His Majesty's birthday, which is not a precious thing, whether it is Everything has to be placed gently, and the dim sum has been returned to the original face, so if this is not intentional destruction, how can it become like this?"
Xu Ziqiao tugged on Lin Huiru's sleeve, but Lin Huiru didn't take it seriously.
Seeing that Lin Huiru was able to stand up and speak for Princess Anning, Qianyuan was relieved a lot. It seems that it was right to promise Princess Anning to let her have a deep friendship with Lin Huiru.
Qian Yuan can't protect Princess Anning too much, he is afraid that it will bring excessive hatred to Princess Anning, but he doesn't know that this hatred has already spread to Princess Anning.
"Shut up! Anyone with eyes can tell that this snack must have been ruined by someone. It's just slightly deformed due to bumps and bumps on weekdays. For example, this thing was accidentally made by a palace official. Are you really blind?" Qian Yuan said angrily.
As soon as the emperor spoke, everyone fell silent, even the concubine Xiang, who had been very arrogant before, looked very ugly. She never thought that just a mere snack for Princess An Ning could make him so furious.
"Your Majesty, today is your birthday, so don't miss out on a good time. We all feel sorry for the princess, but it's a pity that this thing is ruined. If I do it again, I'm afraid the princess will miss having lunch with you." At this time , Xiangfei began to be a good person again.
Seeing such a fickle Xiangfei, Qianyuan was even more angry, but because Xiangfei's perfume smelled better, he only stayed overnight twice, and this woman is so overconfident!
" Your Majesty, the princess has long been worried about whether the dessert will be damaged, so she has prepared an extra portion, and this one is safe, and I hope Your Majesty will not get angry because of it." After fetching another cake, Lin Huiru stood up and put The cake was reopened, and an exquisite cake appeared in front of everyone, which made everyone's eyes shine.
This cake is actually much more delicate than the last one. Lin Huiru deliberately kept an eye out for it. Ever since the day she first met Princess Anning, she felt that there must be dangers around this princess.
The cake this time was not only about making Qianyuan unhappy, because she had prepared the cake and sent it over. If there was no problem with the palace servants, the instigator would find a way to turn the blame on her, so that it would be easy. Provoke the relationship between the three people.
Really well-intentioned.
Fortunately, she kept an extra eye.
Lin Huiru blinked at Princess Anning, and at this moment Princess Anning was about to cry with excitement, but she also understood Lin Huiru's meaning, "Father, my daughter is just worried about accidents, so I prepared an extra copy Please help Sister Lin to preserve it, fortunately, it is safe now."
Chapter 297 The Abacus Is Wrong
Lin Huiru's move not only saved Princess Anning's embarrassment, but also made Qianyuan look up to her with admiration. Even her own status in Qianyuan's heart rose sharply.
How could Qianyuan not know that his precious daughter is not good at handicrafts, and Princess Anning can't make such exquisite things. Looking at Lin Huiru's timely rescue performance, Lin Huiru probably did it.
"An Ning is still careful. Don't worry, I won't just sit idly by. Every year, the gifts are uniformly handled with care. Since someone maliciously damaged it this time, I can't help but take today's day seriously." Qian Yuan said in a deep voice, his eyes glanced at the concubine's position intentionally or unintentionally.
This family doesn't have the guts to frame his precious daughter.
Ever since this cake appeared, Lin Huiru felt that there was a resentful gaze staring at her all the time, but there were too many people here, so it was hard for her to look around.
However, the bad premonition has not disappeared. Among the crowds, Lin Huiru still felt a little creepy, as if something bad would happen.
Lin Huiru rubbed her arms, and inadvertently looked back. Originally, the princes should be seated in the front row, but at a glance, there was no King Jin that she saw that day.
That place was empty.
After Lin Huiru returned to her seat, she lowered her voice and told Xu Ziqiao about the incident. Xu Ziqiao also looked up after hearing the news.
That place has always been empty, and none of the dishes on it have been moved, as if King Jin has never been here.
"Don't think too much, maybe he just went out for a while." Xu Ziqiao said.
Lin Huiru didn't speak, and frowned. That day, King Jin suddenly turned pale with fright, and it was hard for her not to associate this incident together.
Immediately afterwards was the singing and dancing segment. The dancers in the palace were simply outstanding. They were all very similar in stature and posture.
Watching them dance together in gauze is a kind of enjoyment.
Lin Huiru finally understood why there were so many foolish kings in ancient times. Seeing a group of beautiful women dancing in front of her, even she felt very amazing. If it were a man, how many people would not like it? Thinking of this
, Lin Huiru turned to look at Xu Ziqiao, but found that Xu Ziqiao had been looking at her all the time, his eyes fixed and affectionate, which made him blush uncontrollably.
"The singing and dancing are so beautiful, what do you see me doing?" Lin Huiru lowered her eyes and asked in a low voice.
"You're prettier than them, it's nothing interesting." Xu Ziqiao's answer made Lin Huiru not even know how to evaluate him.
"Slick-tongued, I think they dance beautifully. You are still pretending to be noble here. Did you watch too much when you were doing business in the palace?" Lin Huiru said so, but her heart was sweet.
Xu Ziqiao shook his head, and got closer to Lin Huiru, "That's not the case. Every time I come to the palace, I don't rush to do some business, and your majesty is not interested in this." Hearing what he said, Lin Huiru raised her head and sat up
. I glanced at it, only to see that the emperor was busy chatting with the queen at the moment, and he really didn't pay attention to singing and dancing.
This glance also made Lin Huiru see a very dramatic scene.
Headed by Concubine Xiang, there was no one who did not sneak a glance at the emperor. Lin Huiru could smell the envy, jealousy and hatred from a long distance away.
During the feasting, the people in the palace drank a lot, and many officials were drunk, either blushing, or looking drunk, and some people had already started to make ugly appearances.
Lin Hui subconsciously looked at the location of King Jin again. This time, not only King Jin was not there, but even King Xiang was missing.
She was startled, but the next moment she saw King Xiang coming in with the wind, and after whispering a few words to the guard, the guard ran out with two people.
Unknowingly, Lin Huiru and King Xiang met their gazes. King Xiang not only looked unpredictable at ordinary times, but his gaze was as deep as a cold pool. He had no expression, but Lin Huiru shivered. Hastily looked away.
"Sister Lin, what have you been looking at since just now?" Princess Anning came over without warning, which startled Lin Huiru.
Lin Huiru just wanted to find an excuse to excuse her, but then she thought, after all, she is the younger sister of King Jin, so she might know his whereabouts, "I just saw that there was no one in such an important position opposite." Hearing what she said, An
Ning The princess smiled, "That's where my elder brother is, but I don't know why my elder brother didn't come today. In the past, on my father's birthday, my elder brother was the one who worked the hardest.
" Kind of like that." Lin Huiru nodded thoughtfully, even Princess Anning didn't know, and it was meaningless for her to continue with this question.
As time went by, Lin Huiru's bad premonition became more and more obvious. Seeing many people at the banquet getting drunk, even Qian Yuan blushed.
While Lin Huiru was looking around, suddenly an unknown object crossed her line of sight, she followed closely to look at it, and the next moment there was a scream from above the hall.
The thing that flew was an arrow, and it was now being stuck in the body of a court lady who was serving tea and water, and the place where the palace lady fell was right in front of Qian Yuan.
"Escort! Escort! There are assassins!" Zhou Youde exclaimed loudly.
Lin Huiru then saw the efficiency of the guards in the palace. In almost a few seconds, the guards in yellow armor surrounded the hall to the brim, and even a wall of people stood up at the entrance of the hall. .
In this scene, Xu Ziqiao's subconscious reaction was to protect Lin Huiru behind her, "Hide behind me."
Lin Hui subconsciously shrunk her neck, but suddenly realized that this matter should have nothing to do with them. The assassin's goal, most likely, is Qian Yuan. There are no bombs in this era, so it is impossible to directly kill the whole room, let alone the wall of people in front of her, she has nothing to worry about.
"It's okay, their purpose is not with us, not to mention that there are many guards in this palace." Lin Huiru stopped in time, after all, there are many people here, and based on the experience of watching so many TV dramas and novels, those who are People who forced the palace during the prosperous dynasty generally did not end well.
Xu Ziqiao didn't think so. He frowned and looked at Lin Huiru worriedly, "Swords have no eyes. If there is danger, hide for a while and don't show your face.
" The court lady, Qian Yuan is gone.
Chapter 298 Assassin
Lin Huiru nodded, and stood silently behind Xu Ziqiao.
The people outside were not in a hurry, and there was no warning. They shot a rain of arrows into the main hall. This is a palace.
The Imperial Forest Army blew up a lot of shields, and after the rain of arrows, the world calmed down.
It was really blind just now, the movement in the market was not enough to keep all the pieces out, some things went wrong, or the tall ones went directly into the hall, and even the table was shot in half.
However, there is always a time when the arrow is shot, and it is the prosperous age of Qianyuan rule. It is not possible to be manipulated by others, but it may be delayed. As long as they delay the time, then these people will be dealt with. It's just a matter of time.
Lin Huiru was very indifferent, and even picked up the teacup in the mood to take a sip of water.
"Your Majesty, you have sat in this seat for a long time, why don't you change it?" Hearing his voice, Lin Huiru frowned and looked over, only to see a man wearing armor and riding a tall horse. the door.
Lin Huiru almost laughed out loud at what he said. I'm afraid this person has no brains, right?
Qian Yuan sits well in this position, and he is still a wise monarch. Even if others want him to step down, then others will not Allowed.
What's more, this person came alone, and he didn't take people seriously.
But looking at him like this, he probably has a very tough backer.
Thinking of the sniped arrow just now, Lin Huiru shuddered suddenly. It seems that this man had a plan in mind, and it was because of the slanted arrow just now.
It's a pity that heaven never dies, and a court lady happened to be blocked by Qian Yuan, so he had to bite the bullet and go into battle.
"General Zeng, if I remember correctly, you should be guarding the border at this time." Sitting behind everyone, Qian Yuan squinted his eyes. Some people justify their ambitions by using the reason that their parents are seriously ill.
"Your Majesty is wise, but is the border gate a place for people to stay? The soldiers eat and sleep in the open, but you want to celebrate birthdays here. You are really a Ming emperor!" He rushed in directly to deal with Qian Yuan, and then made a great contribution in front of his master.
Lin Huiru didn't look at this idiot like everyone else did. The fact that this person dared to come proves that the power behind him must be strong enough. How could a person with enough strength be so stupid, thinking that he could single-handedly force the palace to succeed? What he was worried about was
this I'm afraid it's not just a matter of attracting everyone's attention. If there are killers mixed in here after the attraction, they value the general so much, and they may be playing into the hands of others.
Lin Huiru's gaze searched among the crowd, her brows were furrowed, and she suddenly noticed a figure shuttling among the crowd.
The man was dressed in the eunuch's clothes, which was not too abrupt.
"Look at that man, everyone is standing still. He must not be a good person running around here at this juncture. I suspect that the idiot at the door is a cover." Lin Huiru tugged at the corner of Xu Ziqiao's clothes, and lowered her voice to remind road.
Xu Ziqiao nodded. He also noticed that something was wrong with this matter. After winking at Lin Huiru, he also cautiously leaned towards Qianyuan.
Lin Huiru continued to look for suspicious figures among the crowd. She looked around cautiously under the cover of the people next to her.
At this time, the other princes were all standing in front of the emperor, but Lin Huiru looked over and found that King Xiang was also looking for something in the crowd, and his cunning eyes narrowed slightly, as if Like looking for prey.
Thinking of what happened recently, Lin Huiru suddenly became even more disturbed. Since this King Xiang is so cunning, how could he not realize that many things before were set up behind his back.
Right now, Lin Huiru thinks that the one who can best become everyone behind the scenes is like King Xiang.
But what made Lin Huiru break out in a cold sweat was that he found that King Xiang's eyes were on Xu Ziqiao who was walking carefully among the crowd.
Oops.
Lin Huiru looked at Xu Ziqiao, she couldn't think of what King Xiang would do now.
While she was thinking, Xu Ziqiao had already taken down the fake eunuch, and at the same time, the people behind King Xiang also rushed out, and when they were about to kill the general, another group of people came leisurely.
This group of people belonged to King Jin, and the leader was also King Jin.
"You have been surrounded by the king's soldiers and horses. If you surrender with your hands tied, you can still be spared." King Jin's words may not be believed by a three-year-old child, but this is an international practice, and it has been the same throughout the ages.
At this time, Lin Huiru noticed that when he saw King Jin, King Xiang frowned obviously, with a look of disgust, and he also noticed that there seemed to be something flashing on King Xiang's cuff.
It should be something that wants to kill first.
Now Lin Huiru almost understood why King Jin's face was so ugly when he left that day. He heard some troubles at that time, so he deliberately didn't show up today, but secretly prepared soldiers and horses to surround him quietly come over.
In this way, several people who rebelled were captured at the same time, and the total amounted to only a hundred people. After hearing this, Lin Huiru just wanted to laugh at the naivety of that person.
But this time Xu Ziqiao was promoted to the first rank because of his meritorious service in saving the driver, and became the head of the second rank Hanlin Academy.
This time, their family was pushed to the forefront of the storm again, and the people who came to congratulate and congratulate them almost broke the door of their house again.
Lin Huiru is getting busier day by day, and she is busy dealing with people every day. This kind of life is very different from her previous life, and it even makes her very disgusted.
When she is free, Lin Huiru always sends letters to her family to express her nostalgia.
"Sister Lin, you and Xu Zhangyuan are too powerful this time. You don't know that Xu Zhangyuan is the most discussed among the housekeepers. The families are trying their best to marry their daughters, but I heard that Xu Zhangyuan The court rejected them one by one." When Princess An Ning came this day, she couldn't gossip, and even food couldn't shut her mouth.
Lin Huiru sighed, "Don't talk about it, I've been troubled by this matter for the past two days, people came to see Xu Ziqiao in front of me every day, I was a little disgusted at first, but now I'm a little tired. "
Who are these people who actually want to stuff their daughter in in front of the main palace? Is it because she looks like paper?
" He said, lowering his voice, "But it's very disgusting."
Chapter 299
Lin Huiru nodded. Of course she was very clear about this matter. Although these people were born in a good family, they did not have a good tutor. Everyone was intriguing. Perhaps it was also an environmental influence. The competitiveness was too great. Big, who can become the best, who is not as smart as a monkey?
"I understand." Lin Huiru sighed, and it was very annoying to think about it. Is there anyone who can watch his husband discuss marriage with others? On marriage?
She can't do it, she's not that kind of magnanimous person, it doesn't matter if she is not virtuous, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't help Xu Ziqiao think about the future, but she can't serve her husband together.
Xu Ziqiao was the one who carried her great hopes. If Xu Ziqiao agreed to one, even if it was just a concubine, she would not be able to accept it.
"Sister Lin, although I also want to be a couple with my husband for the rest of my life, it's not realistic when I think about it. Those old foxes in the court hall are very annoying..." When Princess Anning spoke, there was worry on her face. The two words are clearly written.
Lin Huiru smiled and nodded, "I understand, you don't have to worry about me too much, don't worry, I won't let them slaughter me, I'm a person who would rather be broken than whole." "Sister Lin,
I It's not what I mean, but I hope...you can see it a little better." After all, she was born in the royal family, and Princess Anning has long been accustomed to similar things. She looked at Lin Huiru, as if she still had a lot to say.
However, Lin Huiru didn't want to hear too much of such similar words of persuading her to open her mind. She curled her lips and waved her hands, "Okay, you don't have to persuade me anymore."
Lin Huiru still sighed silently in her heart. In her tone, she had already thought about this day. After all, the tree is big and attracts the wind, and it is still necessary to support each other to gain a firm foothold in the court, but when it really came to this time, she was a little panicked.
It's not that she doesn't have confidence in Xu Ziqiao, she suddenly has no confidence in herself. Compared with this era, it's only her space and she is a person who has traveled through time.
In addition, she is just a little girl from a farming family. Even if she is in business, she will not be an opponent of those big powers. If she is not attached, it will not be easy for others to suppress her? Lin
Hui Ru's self-confidence suddenly shattered.
When Xu Ziqiao came back at night, she couldn't be happy either. Seeing her in a bad mood, Xiao Hei's tail was also hanging on the ground. Only at night could Xiao Hei walk around the mansion.
How could Xu Ziqiao not understand what Lin Huiru was thinking? He sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand and rubbed Lin Huiru's forehead, "Stop thinking about it, I promised you that there will never be another room, even if it is Not one of them."
His wife is so smart, how could he be willing to hurt his wife's heart for some vulgar fans.
Xu Ziqiao is a smart person, but others are not. For this dynasty, it seems that there will never be innovation.
It is often a marriage of aristocratic families, and the children born have a lot of backing. It is easy to become a high-ranking official, and there are very few people who really have real talents.
This is also the best way to maintain their status.
The court's relationship network is more chaotic than a spider's web.
Lin Huiru nodded, but she didn't listen to a word Xu Ziqiao said. In this case, she could only feel her sense of crisis.
Lin Huiru couldn't get out of the shadow for several days. She sat at home shaking her head and sighing. It is tangled.
Until someone came to visit again, Lin Huiru always had to greet her, but what she didn't expect was that there was only one lady from the prime minister's mansion who came to visit.
She is still the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Just because of her background in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there are many people scrambling to get married, but there are not many who can catch her eyes. Several princes.
Of course Lin Huiru could imagine why this young lady came.
"I'm sorry, my husband has gone to court now. Miss, if you have something to do, you can come back at another time." Lin Huiru was polite. After all, they are only second-rank now, and this is the precious daughter of the first-rank prime minister.
But Mu Yirou shook her head, "I'm here this time just to talk to Mrs. Lin." "I'm
sorry, I'm not feeling well recently. The doctor told me to rest more, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you." Lin Hui As he spoke, he coughed twice in a serious manner.
But Mu Yirou really persevered, "What's wrong with Mrs. Lin? If you catch a cold, I have useful medicinal materials here, or...Madam, you are happy." The latter sentence made Lin Huiru's heart skip a beat, and she frowned
. Frowning, she politely refused, "It's just an old problem, I've asked good doctors all over the world."
But what Lin Huiru didn't expect was that the lady in front of her was not as polite as she appeared on the surface, and she strode in directly up.
Lin Huiru was not easy to drive people away, but she just reminded in a good voice, "Miss Mu, I am unwell and cannot entertain you, please come back another day." "Don't bother
Madam, I really want to be with you Get along in harmony." After Mu Yirou said this, Lin Huiru's heart skipped a beat.
She knew that the next thing that came out of this person's mouth might not be a human word.
"I don't know what Ms. Mu means." Lin Huiru felt a sense of sadness in her heart. She really hated the capital city. She didn't have the ability to be alone in a place where power is paramount.
Lin Huiru hated this kind of thing that officials and senior officials crushed people to death from the bottom of their hearts.
"What I mean is, Mrs. Lin, don't you understand? Mrs. Lin, you are a smart person. Xu Ziqiao is a talented person, and he is appreciated by His Majesty. He has a bright future in the future. It is a good thing to have another room with ability. Since Lin Ma'am, you love him, why don't you help him stabilize his position." Mu Yirou played with the leaves of the flowers and plants in the yard, and picked a flower that Lin Huiru carefully raised, and it was the best flower that one.
Lin Huiru's heart ached, she curled her lips and smiled sarcastically, "Miss Mu, you mean that you can help him stabilize his position?" "
My father is the prime minister, what does Madam Lin think?" Mu Yirou squinted She squinted her eyes, so she didn't take Lin Huiru seriously, but she was just a woman from the village, and she was just a step ahead, what was it? "I know
your father is the current prime minister, and we are just a second-rank official. , isn't it a high climb?" Lin Huiru sneered and snatched the flower away.
"Mr. Xu has a bright future. Marrying a smart man is much better than marrying someone who considers himself noble." Mu Yirou took it for granted.
Such a sentence hurt Lin Huiru's heart, yes, who doesn't want to climb high, she also thought that it would be great if she crossed over and became the princess.
But don't dream too much.
"Miss Mu is right in what she said. A good bird chooses a tree to live in, but I watched him grow up with this tree bit by bit. Maybe he was a good seed early in the morning. He must be first-come-first-served when doing things." Lin Lin Huiru's anger welled up in her heart, and she began to lose control of her words, "Now he is glamorous. When he was a poor scholar, miss, you were still struggling with which prince to marry? Who wouldn't want to pick up such a bargain? , but Miss Mu, if you do this, don't you feel that your face is dull?"
Mu Yirou frowned, it was the first time she met someone who dared to confront her face to face, she had been pampered in the prime minister's mansion since she was a child, No one has ever dared to contradict her, even her mother was kind and never scolded her.
But what Lin Huiru said was extremely ironic.
"Mrs. Lin, is this what you should say to Miss Ben? It is his blessing to be able to be with the person I like. It is also his blessing to be with me. I will call you Mrs. Lin for the sake of face." , doesn't mean I'm really afraid of you, a village woman." Mu Yirou said viciously.
Chapter 300 Sarcasm
"Isn't it a village woman?" Lin Huiru sneered, "It's a pity that I, a village woman, don't nod your head, and you can't enter this door. The dignified lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion has no shame in stalking a man. You say, If this news gets out, how bad would it be?"
Mu Yirou's face became even more ferocious, "You dare to threaten me? I agreed to marry to save your face. If you dare to spread rumors, my father is a prime minister."
" So what, who begged you to come? It's not an exaggeration to send it to your door and call it a post, and please Miss Mu, please save some face for the Mu family." At the beginning, Lin Huiru was polite everywhere, and this Miss Mu was too much. I'm not forgiving.
It's okay for her to quarrel with Liu Xiulan, the gossip woman. Can she say that she's just a young lady who
can only rely on her family? Mu Yirou stared blankly at Lin Huiru's words. She stretched out her hand and pointed at Lin Huiru angrily, " Don't know how to flatter you!"
"What do you mean I don't know how to flatter you? Xu Ziqiao didn't even intend to marry you, so take a step back, even if you borrowed her, she's nothing more than a concubine or a concubine. Come and show off to me now." What's the matter? I don't pay you any attention, it's giving you face, and I advise you to do it yourself." Lin Huiru's temper was out of control, and Mu Yirou's face was reddened by the sword, but except There, what else could Mu Yirou do to show her authority?
Lin Huiru can understand the routines of these ladies.
Just when Mu Yirou couldn't say it, she raised her hand and fanned her with a burst of energy.
But Lin Huiru was prepared for a long time, she dodged and made a gesture of invitation, "The gate is over there, please go." "
Lin Huiru, you are so courageous, I have to blame for this matter." Father's meaning is in it, if it wasn't for me falling, how could I care about such a poor place like you, you dare to treat me with such an attitude today, be careful not to even protect your husband's official position." Mu Yirou was furious Next, he started to speak without choosing words.
Little did she know that these words not only did not threaten Lin Huiru, but also made her laugh as if she had heard a big joke, "Then you are really cheap with your father, and I just want to use you to consolidate my strength Forget it, you're still barking like a pug today, what do you mean you're not asking for trouble?" "Don't
slander my father here! Shrew!" Mu Yirou was so angry It exploded, he couldn't beat and beat, but he couldn't give up, just walked like this, didn't she just give up.
"Who is the shrew, you came here uninvited first, and you often get refuted after other people's family said a lot of unreasonable things here, and you still have the face to be unhappy. You are your father's daughter, not mine. Girl, if you call me mother, I can still bear with you, who is more noble now, what do you think your father will do for you?" Lin Huiru continued to sneer, "You see, if your father is really If I love you, why don't I just come to Xu Ziqiao to talk to you today, and ask you to send it to your door?"
Lin Huiru's words can be described as eloquent. There are quite a few houses, and the number of heirs is not ordinary. Although Mu Yirou is just a young lady who comes early and can be liked, there are quite a few daughters and sons that the Prime Minister's Mansion can control. How much, she is not a lot.
This sentence happened to be Mu Yirou's sore spot. Even if she is the eldest daughter who is envied by everyone, she still has to relax her guard all the time. Otherwise, if other brothers and sisters share the control, someone will dare to ride her Here comes the head.
Seeing Mu Yirou's face getting more and more ugly, Lin Huiru felt hurt in her heart, she was not a good man and a believer, if someone punched her, if she didn't punch back twice, she would not be her.
People sit at home, and disasters come from the sky. This is not what she said, and she is not rare in this position.
According to what Lin Huiru thought, the prime minister was already a first-rank official in the court. Since Mu Yirou dared to show off his power so much, his status must not be underestimated, but because of this, Xu Ziqiao was valued by His Majesty.
How can the king of a country allow a few powerful people to act under his nose?
Even if the prime minister intervenes, this matter may not go so smoothly.
Lin Huiru is very transparent, but Mu Yirou has been spoiled all these years.
Lin Huiru's words did not make Mu Yirou retreat, but she became more determined that she wanted to marry Xu Ziqiao. It was because of this that she could have more status in her father's heart. If her siblings take the lead, her status will really be lost.
Seeing Mu Yirou leaving angrily when she couldn't say no, there was only one word left in Lin Huiru's mind, cool.
But after this momentum went down, Lin Huiru began to regret it a little. Although the other party didn't dare to tell them what to do with them, he was an old man in the court after all. If they united and wanted to target Xu Ziqiao, Isn't that one-to-one accurate?
About this, Lin Huiru became more and more entangled. He didn't want to cause trouble to Xu Ziqiao, so he told Xu Ziqiao the truth when Xu Ziqiao came back at night.
In fact, Xu Ziqiao also had a few polite words with the prime minister on the way to court today. The prime minister's words implied that he should find a woman with a strong natal family as his wife, but since he was only vague, The prime minister can only let it go.
After hearing that the daughter of the prime minister's family came to Lin Huiru to show off her power today, Xu Ziqiao didn't like this family even more.
He hugged the frightened Lin Huiru in his arms, and gently rubbed Lin Huiru's forehead, "Don't worry, I told you, I promised you that I would never marry again." Lin
Huiru Leaning in Xu Ziqiao's arms, feeling full of security because of these words, she curled her lips in disdain, "It seems that people who come from a great family may not have good tutors, and even if they do, they are only on their occasions. It's really unqualified to speak here, but just use your own identity to suppress people, it's really magnifying one level to crush people, but I'm worried that if I do this today, it will have a bad influence on you, after all, her father is still Prime Minister."
"These people have been spoiled and spoiled since they were young, so let's not be angry with them." Xu Ziqiao said, rubbing Lin Huiru's forehead and seeing his wife become so angry, Xu Ziqiao didn't feel angry at all. It's so good.
