Originally, Xu Ziqiao thought that only now could he give Lin Huiru a better life, but what he didn't expect was that now he would still make Lin Huiru wronged because of his status.
Now Xu Ziqiao has only two choices, either to drop his status and take a smaller official position, and spend the rest of his life in peace, so that he won't run to show off to Lin Huiru just because someone is crying and begging to marry him.
Another one is that he has climbed to a higher position. He is now in the second rank. If he reaches the first rank, no one will dare to show off in front of Lin Huiru.
But this road must be very bumpy, and I don't know when he will be able to reach that point, but it seems that no one can force him under the current situation, but it may not be that he is better than Lin Huiru now .
Now the situation on Xu Ziqiao's side is known to everyone, even the emperor has heard the news.
Under Xu Ziqiao's repeated assurances, Lin Huiru lost her sense of security and found it again.
But because of Lin Huiru's depression two days ago, Xu Ziqiao secretly prepared a surprise for her.
"Father! That woman from the future dares to humiliate me like this, you must come forward and teach her a lesson!" When Mu Yirou returned home, you were disgusted, but this time the image was for the emperor's gift. Although the person who was in a state of desperation was caught, he was silently silenced by someone, and all the clues were lost for a moment.
"But anyone with wolfish ambitions would not have this opportunity last time. It's only been a few months now, and he has already reached the position of the second rank. Don't worry, if you really like him, that position must be yours." Although Now the prime minister is very annoying, but the daughter in front of him is his first daughter after all, and he is still a little partial in some respects.
But right now Mu Yirou is really too hasty, she can't wait to prove from here that Xiang Xiang really likes her, different from other brothers and sisters.
"Father, she really bullied me that day, she bullied me so fiercely, she looked like she was showing off her power. It really seemed like she was going to eat me..." It's enough to say one thing once, but she brought it up again this time, but it disturbed me. The prime minister's mind.
"Don't mention this matter in front of me again. If you go by yourself, even he can't handle it now. If you really marry in the future, is it possible that you have been wronged and you have to go back to your mother's house?" the prime minister said coldly. After yelling loudly, he ignored her.
Now Mu Yirou went back crying miserably.
The news somehow reached the ears of the princess, and Princess Anning used this as an excuse to mysteriously trick Lin Huiru into her mansion.
When Lin Huiru arrived at the 'Princess Mansion', she suddenly felt cheated.
Where is Princess Anning's Princess Mansion here?
They are all women.
"What did you bring me here for?" Lin Huiru asked in a low voice.
"It's not the father, he insisted on letting me learn the etiquette that girls should have at home. I heard that this is a special private school for girls. I don't want to come by myself. The father specifically allowed me to bring someone here. If not, I will You brought it here." Princess Anning smiled slyly.
Lin Huiru suddenly had ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping past in her heart, thinking that he got married as soon as he came to this world, and her husband was still in school. Now she has done a lot of business, and her husband is also gone. Now that she is an official, she has to run here to attend classes with the princess.
The good name is, read with you.
Lin Huiru had nothing to do, not to mention there was another acquaintance here, that was Ji Linglong.
I don't know why they all came to this private school by coincidence, and the teachers of the private school are also officials. After inquiring about other people, Lin Huiru understood.
What kind of private school is here? It is simply a place to cultivate some women's etiquette, so that they will not be unable to marry or be ashamed in the future, which is equivalent to the teaching of beautiful women before entering the palace.
The others are all young ladies who have not left the cabinet and are waiting to be married, and they are all about the same age as her. They are afraid that after this class is over, the family will prepare to find a husband to marry.
Now among this group of people, Lin Huiru is very out of gregarious. She is the only married woman. When they are together, others still look up to her, and some want to learn from her. How to marry a good husband Lin Huiru is very busy here.
After leaving, Lin Huiru gradually got used to it, and even the gentlemen in the school got used to his special existence, after all, he was the princess' companion. '
In short, most of the courses here are divided into four types, one is literature, another is etiquette, and the other is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Although these young ladies all have some family background, they usually invite good masters from their families to teach after they are sensible, and now they are also doing an assessment.
The princes have also reached the age when they should get married. I am afraid that this time they will leave some things in the underground for review. If they have good grades, they may become the first choice for the princess.
This time, Ji Linglong and Princess Anning were also drawn out. The three of them didn't pay much attention to the things in class. Two of them were forced to come here by their families, and the other was dragged by others. It can be said that they are all forced to be helpless.
So the three-person class became much more interesting. Just like in high school, the relationship between Lin Huiru, Ji Linglong, and Princess Anning became better day by day, and they could pass notes from time to time during class. After class, they had dinner together again, they were just three friends who were very close friends.
In the school, the moment the master turned around, a firm ball of paper precisely smashed Princess Anning's hairpin.
Princess Anning subconsciously covered her hair and looked back, and she understood when she saw Ji Linglong who was beaming and pointing at her side.
She curled her lips into a smile, leaned over and hid the ball of paper in her sleeve to avoid the sight of the husband by picking up hairpins, and then flattened it on her knees.
The beautiful font on the letter reads: I found out that there is a mysterious winding path, which is inaccessible, so what's so interesting about keeping it uneven.
Finally, there are three villains holding hands in the lower right corner.
Princess An Ning couldn't help laughing, and a small smile came into the gentleman's ears. Lecturer Li's eyes moved. After noticing Princess An Ning from the corner of the eye, he sighed silently, and coughed lightly as a reminder because she was a princess.
Chapter 302 Private School
These three villains have their own characteristics, and Princess Anning knows who the third person is at a glance.
She ignored Lecturer Li's reminder, rolled up the paper again, waited for the opportunity to throw it into Lin Huiru's arms, and brought her back to reality when she was wandering.
Lin Huiru wanted to know where the ball of paper came from. After the content of Zhanxin Yuedong was quite embarrassing. There is no shortage of forbidden places in the palace
. , Ji Linglong pursed her lips, cleared her throat, and exaggeratedly hissed her lips: "Let's go and have a look, and don't move anything." '
Lecturer Li's class is so obscure that it makes people drowsy, and the next sword lesson will be taught by the lecturer to embarrassment. In contrast, the unknown land has a great attraction for them.
Princess Anning grew up in the palace since she was a child, but because of the many rules, she has never been to many places. After getting to know Ji Linglong, she released her natural instincts, and her life became more interesting. 'It's okay, there's something wrong with me, we're just going to have a look. Lin
Huiru read the words on her lips one by one, dispelling all the hesitation in her heart. She nodded, hid the ball of paper, turned her head and hissed: "Then you all have to listen to me and be careful." '
'I don't want it, it's rare to find an interesting place, we just go to play casually, what are we doing so seriously. ' Ji Linglong stuck out her tongue and made a grimace, and raised her voice slightly to retort.
"Ahem." Lecturer Li couldn't bear it anymore, threw the book on the table, and called names one by one with a beard and a stare.
"Ji Linglong! Lin Huiru! And Princess Anning! Do you three old men be blind or deaf!?"
The trembling sound startled the three people who were on Xing's head, and then they hung their heads like eggplants beaten by frost .
"Sir, we are discussing the book you are talking about." Ji Linglong's mood changed rapidly, she raised her head suddenly with her hands in her hands, and she smiled cleverly, and said cleverly.
Lecturer Li's serious eyes swept over one by one, and Lin Huiru and Princess Anning hurriedly nodded like chickens pecking at rice. "Yes, sir, we... we are discussing academics, this must not be allowed..."
"Oh? If that's the case... then the old man will test you." Lecturer Li squinted his eyes and stroked his goatee. How could he not know that they were lying, but since they were all lying, he might as well hit their cleverness.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Although they didn't know what Lecturer Li said just now, it was still easy to answer the question.
"What are the three tombs and five classics?" Lecturer Li looked at Lin Huiru, squinting his eyes and beckoning her to answer.
Lin Hui was in control, and Lang Lang said: "The three tombs refer to the books of Fuxi, Shennong, and Huangdi, and the five classics refer to the books of Shaohao, Zhuanxu, Gaoxin, Tang, and Yu." She answered completely, and Lecturer Li had to change the target
. .
"Among the three teachings and nine streams, why is the nine streams? Ji Linglong, you answer." Lecturer Li usually knows that she has the most tricks, which he hasn't mentioned yet. Even if Ji Linglong quibbles, he can still take the opportunity to teach her a lesson.
But what Lecturer Li didn't expect was that Ji Linglong blurted out an answer without thinking: "Jiu Liu refers to Confucianism, Taoism, Yin-Yang School, Legalism, Famous School, Mohist School, Strategist, Miscellaneous School, and Farm School." Under the eyes of
others In the middle, Lecturer Li's temples throbbed with anger. "Don't rely on your little cleverness, stand aside for the old man and go to the class!"
Ji Linglong opened her mouth and wanted to defend herself, but she shut her mouth knowingly when she saw Lecturer Li's furious expression, and joined the two of them under the laughter of the crowd. The book stood aside.
They only stood there for a stick of incense before the time came. When Lecturer Li left, he gritted his teeth at Ji Linglong. Naturally, Ji Linglong grimaced unscrupulously.
"The next class will teach etiquette, we might as well take advantage of this..." Princess An Ning drew out her tone with a radiant look, and her words were written all over her face.
The three of them exchanged glances, looked at each other and smiled, while everyone was away, they randomly stacked the books on the table and slipped out of the academy like thieves and went straight to a remote place.
"It's the first time I know this place. It's thanks to you that I can have fun this time." Princess Anning patted Ji Linglong on the shoulder, and gave her a thumbs up, quite appreciative.
"No, it's just that when I came to visit my aunt in the palace last time, I walked the wrong way and noticed." Ji Linglong waved her hand. Kilometer is already a familiar place for the few of them, especially her. The two of them, Princess An Ning, almost grew up in the palace, but even if they grew up here, the area of ââthe palace is not small.
Coupled with the fact that many places are not allowed to go, they have also suppressed a lot of nature.
Now this curious interest has risen, and it can't be suppressed. Among the three people, only Lin Huiru is panicking, because she is the only one who has nothing to do with the royal family. If something goes wrong, she must be The first one to die first.
Therefore, Lin Huiru was particularly cautious here. There were many palace people passing by here and there.
"There is no need to be so worried. You see, there are so few people in this place. Maybe it's just a deserted garden. When I was young, I remembered that there were many old people in this palace who liked to plant flowers, plants, fruits and trees. Maybe this is where they used to be. If we can find a place to live, I remember that at this time, whether it is apricots, peaches, or grapes, it would be nice to find some fruit, which is much more comfortable than being in a private school." Princess Anning pulled Lin Huiru to comfort him road.
Lin Huiru shook his head and sighed, what could he do otherwise? After all, this academy is indeed very boring, not to mention that the location is in the palace, and they can't sneak out easily, they can only have fun in the palace, not to mention the identities of Princess Anning and Ji Linglong, even if they are not there, sir Don't think too much about it either.
"Actually, the meals in the academy today are really unpalatable. It's hard to imagine that they were made by the cooks in the palace." Seeing that there are fewer and fewer people here, Ji Linglong became more courageous and complained .
Princess An Ning nodded in agreement, "This is also one of the reasons why I established my own mansion. Although I agreed to live outside because of my father's favor, I don't care about those concubines, but otherwise On the one hand, there are so many rules in this palace, and the food is not so delicious, you don't know how happy I am every day when I sneak out from Buddha to buy food on the street."
"That's because you ran out secretly. It looks like I can go out by myself, but some things don't taste so good if I eat too much." Ji Linglong's words undoubtedly came from Princess Anning Pulled a huge hatred.
Princess Anning curled her lips, "So what? Don't I still eat Sister Lin's food at Sister Lin's place most of the time? You haven't tasted it before."
Chapter 303 Secret
Seeing the two distant sisters bickering, Lin Huiru couldn't help laughing. Compared with those other ladies, these two girls are very cute.
The two stopped and looked at Lin Huiru puzzled. But after the silence, Lin Huiru seemed to hear something.
"Hush, listen." Lin Huiru always felt that thanking Susu seemed to be approached by someone nearby, so she quickly put her index finger in front of her lips, signaling the two of them to keep quiet.
Princess Anning and Ji Linglong also raised it, and the two of them quieted down, and they also heard what Lin Huiru heard, as if someone was whispering.
Lin Huiru suddenly felt a little apprehensive. He remembered the dirty tricks in the palace, and thought that if their tricks ruined other people's good deeds, he must be the one who didn't talk about Princess Anning and Ji Linglong. My life is at risk, so Lin Huiru was a little timid, "Why don't we go back." "
But if they are planning something bad, we just ignore it, isn't it good? "Princess An Ning was a little hesitant. After all, he had seen a lot of dirty things happening in the palace, but it was too serious for any of the things that happened when someone didn't die.
"Hey, it's better to protect yourself at this time? After all, you can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day of the junior high school. Even if we can help people once, we may not be able to help them a second time. Now that I'm hated by others, I'm afraid I'll get angry." Ji Linglong also flinched a little.
But at this moment, Lin Huiru moved her nose, and she suddenly smelled a smell of burning paper. He was very sensitive to this smell, "Smell it and see if something is burned If there is a fire, it may be even more troublesome."
Lin Huiru pulled the clothes of the two people next to her in case she had smelled it wrong, and they both nodded in unison after hearing this.
"The burning of paper to pay homage to these things is the most taboo in the palace. That man came here to pay homage to his relatives, so let's not break it." Princess An Ning's eyes suddenly lit up. A concubine is still an ordinary concubine, no one can burn paper in the palace.
The concubine still has the opportunity to go out to pay homage, but the palace people can't.
Lin Huiru nodded and left and right, this is not a serious matter, but just for a thought, the three of them walked along the path again, but Lin Huiru was still passing the arch out of curiosity When I took a look in.
Just this one glance made her feel as if she had suffered a catastrophe. Before Princess Anning and Ji Linglong noticed, Lin Huiru hurriedly dragged them away.
"What's the matter?" Princess Anning was most puzzled.
Lin Huiru shook her head with a pale face. She couldn't let Ji Linglong and Princess Anning know about this.
What she saw just now was King Xiang burning paper in that deserted palace courtyard, so she saw it, and they even met their eyes.
"It's okay, I'm anxious." Lin Huiru waved his hand to ease his emotions.
Ji Linglong nodded, and pointed forward casually, "Look, does that yard over there just have a lot of trees? Let's go there, maybe there is a toilet there.
" I was surprised by the scene in front of me.
Here is like a paradise in the palace, with many flowers, plants, fruits and trees. All kinds of fruit trees and flowers are here, but because no one takes care of them, it looks a bit messy.
"This peach is so sweet." I didn't see Princess Anning for a while, but I saw that she twisted a peach out of nowhere, wiped it with her sleeve, and ate it without any princess airs.
After arriving at this place, Princess Anning and Ji Linglong were like wild horses that had taken off their stiffness, having fun, but Lin Huiru couldn't be happy no matter what.
At that glance just now, she was very sure that King Xiang must have seen her.
Originally, they had an embarrassing relationship with King Xiang, but now that they are doing this, I am afraid that King Xiang will look at her more like a thorn in his flesh.
After returning home, Lin Huiru still had lingering fears and depression, and she did not dare to tell Xu Ziqiao about this matter. The next day she did not go to the academy in the palace with Princess Anning on the grounds of illness.
"Ma'am, someone is here." Bai Shu came in and reminded.
Lin Huiru waved his hand, "If you don't want to see me, just say I'm sick." "
It looks like a farming family. An old couple with two girls wants to see you by name." Bai Shu frowned, Still said one more word.
Now Lin Huiru was even more puzzled. She didn't have any acquaintances in the capital, so how could anyone call her by her name?
"Come out with me and have a look." Anyway, as long as it is not those officials, Lin Huiru is willing to meet.
Divorce Ruru was very curious along the way. When he reached the gate, he saw a simple carriage parked at the gate, and there were four people standing together and talking quietly. This sight made her eyes blush. I can't stop the tears from falling.
The people here are none other than her parents, as well as Zhaodi and Zhou Maner.
"Hey, Miss Xiaoru!" Zhou Man'er waved happily after seeing Lin Huiru, and she was the first to see Lin Huiru coming out.
Seeing Zhou Maner happy, Lin Huiru was also very happy in his heart. He really didn't expect to be able to give himself such a big surprise at this time. Lin Huiru walked down the steps quickly with the hem of her skirt and embraced Zhou Maner. , "Why are you here?"
"Why are you so young, you forgot about us when you stayed in the capital." Zhou Man'er pouted and teased.
Lin Huiru shook her head with a smile, and gave Zhou Man'er a headache. How could she forget them? Everything in the capital is cold and heartless. It's not as good as being in the town. On the body When the aunt at the entrance of the village sells pork, she will ask her to buy a catty.
"No, I didn't know that you would come so suddenly." After Lin Huiru smiled and left Zhou Man'er, she hugged Qi Hehua and Hehua again, and squatted down to hug her long-growing Zhaodi.
"Actually, Brother Xu wrote us a letter about this matter. Brother Xu said in the letter that you have always been depressed recently. Maybe it's because you don't have any friends in the capital and you are afraid that you will be bored. So let us come quickly and send Get us in the carriage to pick us up." Zhou Maner explained with a smile on the side.
For Lin Huiru, this surprise is simply the best gift she can receive now.
Chapter 304 Happy Things
Because of this incident, Lin Huiru swept away the haze in her heart, and her whole spirit improved. Bai Shu watched from the side and was happy for Lin Huiru from the bottom of her heart.
On weekends, the whole person was like a runaway pony, and Qi Hehua took the lead. Only Lin Qing was a little uncomfortable, but he still gave Lin Huiru something with all his brains.
"I heard that everything you buy in the capital is expensive. We grow these at home, and these two chickens are brought to you for your health." Lin Qing was holding a big bag and a face that had finally turned pale. There was also a hint of blush.
Lin Huiru was a little surprised looking at those things. After all, it took only a month to come from the town. If these things are put on the carriage, they will go bad, right?
"Uncle Xiaoru really misses you. These two chickens have been alive and kicking on the road. Uncle cut their throats until they entered the capital. It's nothing new." Zhou Man'er said and cut their necks gesture.
Lin Huiru bent her eyes and smiled, "Of course my father loves me the most. Could it be that he loves you? This just saves me from going grocery shopping. I'll cook a table of vegetables for you in a while."
" Bai Shu, go and clean up the three rooms." Lin Huiru nodded to Bai Shu, and then beckoned to a few servants to help move all the things into the yard.
"Miss Xiaoru, your place is much bigger than my house. I used to think my house was big enough, but now I didn't expect that your house would be much bigger, even if there are too few people here. , It's too deserted, anyway, my family has more than 20 long-term workers." Zhou Maner wandered around the house curiously, after all, a small place can't compare with the buildings in the capital. She is still very fresh looking at all this.
Lin Huiru shook her head, "This place is just me and Xu Ziqiao living in a very empty place, why do you need so many people? Is it possible to feed?" "Yes, but it's better
now, uncle and aunt have moved here, You can also find a few more people to take care of it." Zhou Man'er nodded.
"No need, Xiaoru, you can save it. I heard that working in the capital costs tens of taels of silver a month. It's great that you can save this Inzaghi. It's not like we can't work anymore." Qi Hehua hurriedly waved her hands when she heard that, she still felt more distressed at the moment of money than Lin Huiru.
But Lin Huiru nodded. She prefers to spend money on others rather than on herself, "Mother, don't worry. I'll take you there after you rest. Look at my shop in the capital, is that a person? I have my own workshop now, and the money I earn in a day is enough to pay them." "Auntie, you should listen to Miss
Ru , now Miss Ru is working so hard just for you." Zhou Maner continued to help them get in touch with her playful smile.
Lin Huiru nodded, and suddenly remembered what Zhou Man'er said just now, "Are you going to find a place to settle down in the capital this trip?" "After thinking about it, I don't need it,
my The shop is also flourishing in the town, even though it is like this, the money in a month is still not as much as that of Miss Ru, and I am afraid that I have no money even if I want to live." Zhou Maner shook his head, sighed, seeing After living through the prosperity of the capital, she also misses this place very much, but she has no ability to stay.
"Isn't there still me? You see, my place is big and empty. If you live here, you will be provided with food. You are not living here for free. My shop is still short of manpower. Can you You have to work for me." Lin Huiru joked.
But Zhou Man'er became serious. Compared to listening to her father marrying a rich man's son in that small place and talking to some women in the village about family affairs, she is more inclined to this bustling capital city, "Okay, Of course I won't live and eat for free, but I just don't know what you want me to do, Miss Ru."
Lin Huiru was a little surprised, she didn't expect Zhou Maner to agree, but it's okay to think about it, since she was short of manpower , and lack of trustworthy people, if Zhou Maner can stay here to help her, her career will definitely be better, "I don't need your help to run there, I opened a makeup shop first, there is no trustworthy person, Why don't you just help me be a shopkeeper and just keep an eye on them every day."
"This job, Miss Ru, do you think I can do it?" Zhou Man'er was a little uncertain. After all, when she heard the word from the shopkeeper, she felt that she still had certain rights, not to mention that it was still in the capital. .
"Why not? Didn't you ever act as a fake in your own shop? You have said that your own shop is also doing well. I am very relieved to hand it over to you. It is better than handing it over to some sources. The unknown long-term worker is here." Lin Huiru smiled, and in this huge capital city, she finally found a trace of humanity.
In fact, Lin Huiru still hoped that Zhou Man'er would stay in her heart. After all, although the town was a bit more lively, she had nothing to do in the town, especially as a woman.
This village has always believed in a saying that a woman's lack of talent is virtue. Even if Zhou Man'er is the daughter of a big Zhao family, she only knows a few words.
In this case, after marrying her husband's family, there is nothing else to do, so she can only stay at home and work peacefully.
What's more, if Zhou Man'er married someone, the rich second generation of the local rich man he would marry might not be a good thing, nor would he be a gentleman. I'm afraid I will ruin my life's happiness, this deal is not worth it, it's better to stay with her in the capital.
"Sister Xiaoru, you can trust me, so I'll stay here to help you. I'll listen to my father when I get back to the town after work. Why don't you stay here?" Zhou Man'er nodded happily Very, she was still a little bit reluctant at first, but when she heard that she could stay, her mood suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny.
Their family gathered together in the yard and enjoyed themselves happily. Today, Lin Huiru prepared a barbecue, thinking that the whole family could gather around the yard and use some charcoal to grill some meat.
But what Lin Huiru didn't expect was that she actually welcomed an unexpected guest after dusk.
It's Qi Zhengxi, "Ever since Mr. Xu was promoted to the second rank, I haven't had time to come to congratulate him. Now that I have freed up my time, I made a special trip to congratulate him. I have heard of some things. As long as Mrs. Lin adjusts her mentality, those No matter how much a woman thinks about herself, she may not be able to enter this family."
Chapter 305 A Day Trip
After hearing what Qi Zhengxi said, Lin Huiru's mood became better. She had let go of her dissatisfaction with this matter, but as long as she came to persuade her not to bow her head, she was very welcome.
"Thank you son, we are already so familiar with each other, there is no need for such things to come to congratulate you, you can just choose a day when Xu Ziqiao is here, the two of you will warm a pot of wine together, and I will help you do it A few appetizers, isn't this the most comfortable celebration?" Lin Huiru said politely with a smile.
Qi Zhengxi smiled, "Of course this is the most comfortable way, but I'm afraid it will be as troublesome as you."
Qi Zhengxi's nose twitched, she looked up at the sky, and when she saw the white smoke curling up from that shoe, she immediately frowned. Frowning, "Mrs. Lin, the house is on fire!"
Lin Huiru was taken aback when he said this, so he hurriedly turned his head and saw the white smoke rising from the place where they burned the fire, "My lord Don't worry, I just lit a fire outside."
One day when Lin Huiru said this, Qi Zhengxi suddenly thought of the barbecue that Lin Huiru had mentioned before, "But the barbecue you mentioned that day?"
Lin Huiru nodded, "Exactly, today Xu Ziqiao secretly gave me a surprise, and invited my parents and friends from my hometown, so I wanted to have a barbecue to celebrate. Would you like to come together?
" Stay here for dinner with Xiaoru, but since it's your family reunion, I don't want to disturb you today. Let's celebrate with you at another day!" Qi Zhengxi politely declined.
This is just right, after all the whole family gets together, I'm afraid Qi Zhengxi will be very embarrassed here.
"Then let's talk about it another day, please come here this time." Lin Huiru said and sent Qi Zhengxi out of the house.
"It doesn't matter, but I still have something to remind you today. I heard that the daughter of the prime minister's mansion came here a few days ago. It was also unpleasant. Now the court is full of chaos, and the position of the prime minister still has a place. You just have to treat some people as something that doesn't exist, and just ignore them. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will suffer if you confront them." After Qi Zhengxi finished speaking, he added, "You are a smart person, don't fight with those people. I usually care about it, otherwise it will only bring bad influence to myself."
Lin Huiru nodded, and now Qi Zhengxi is like a think tank for her, every time she encounters trouble, Qi Zhengxi will come to send a good one Admonish.
After sending away his breath, Lin Huiru adjusted his mood and walked back to the mansion. Unexpectedly, he was startled by Zhou Maner who suddenly jumped out of a door. ââLin Huiru, who had reacted, slapped Zhou Man'er's arm with a slap, "People are scary, you just want
my life at this late hour."
What, the rock under your feet almost tripped you up, so I want you to be sober, by the way, sister Xiaoru, who was that very handsome son just now?" Zhou Man'er's tone suddenly became gossip.
Lin Huiru replied, "That one is the son of Qi from Pingyang Hou's mansion, who has some friendship with us. This time he is here to celebrate Xu Ziqiao's second-rank official residence." "The son of the Hou's mansion?!" Zhou Man'er
heard The name of this man was immediately surprising, after all, Qi Zhengxi was still a wishful man in the eyes of many women.
"Yeah, what's the problem? Have you taken a fancy to him? Now he hasn't gone far. If you speak louder, maybe you can call him back to have a meal with you." Lin Hui Such as jokingly said.
Hearing Lin Huiru's words, Zhou Man'er shook her head like a rattle, "No need, no need, I just feel that people with this status are too far away from us, Miss Ru, everyone you come into contact with now must be very They must be rich officials."
"Almost all of them are fourth-rank and third-rank, and there are some princesses and ladies. Our Princess Anning is similar to your box. If there is a chance, I will introduce you to each other. Maybe you get along very well." Lin Huiru rubbed her chin and replied. road.
"That's unnecessary. After all, Miss Ru, you are the wife of a second-rank official, and I'm just the daughter of a rich man. What's more, my father's things are not expensive at all. It seems that he is making friends with people like them. I'm afraid I'll be looked down upon." Although the capital is very prosperous, it also made Zhou Man'er feel a lot of inferiority.
"You also know that your father is a rich man. You don't have to think so. The reason why I think Princess Anning is nice is because she doesn't care about other people's backgrounds." Lin Huiru smiled, "In fact, some people are okay, but on the contrary Those who have low status or very high status will have contempt for others."
But even if Lin Huiru said so, Zhou Man'er waved his hands again and again, "No, no. They are all superior People, I don't even dare to think about it, I just need to know Miss Xiaoru and you, if I can make one or two friends in the capital, and go out to play together on weekdays, it will be enough for me to be satisfied. "
Although there are countless dignitaries in the capital, there are also many ordinary people.
"Okay, since you don't want to get to know me, I won't force you. I'll accompany you out for a walk tomorrow. In fact, there are still a lot of delicious and interesting things in Jiang Cheng." Lin Huiru nodded, just before them While chatting, there was a sound of horseshoes.
Lin Huiru's eyes lit up and he could tell that Xu Ziqiao was back when she heard the voice. She turned her head and saw Xu Ziqiao striding into the door in official uniform. Thinking about today's huge surprise, Lin Huiru couldn't hold back herself Even if there was Zhou Maner next to her, she happily ran to Xu Ziqiao and gave her a hug, "I really like this gift, it seems that you are more important than mine in my parents' heart." The position is even higher, before I told them to come, they refused, but now you just wrote a letter and they came, it seems that my daughter is not as good as a son-in-law."
"Just be happy, don't say silly things, if I hadn't written online that you were in a bad mood, worried that you would get sick, they probably wouldn't have come. Why is there so much smoke in the yard?" Xu Ziqiao and Zhou Man'er next to him nodded in greeting, then Zhou Man'er shrank her neck, turned around and ran away. She couldn't stand such an ambiguous scene, for fear that she would get a needle's eye.
"No, I'm really happy. I'm really in a bad mood recently, but your gift has made my sky clear and cloudless." Now that Zhou Man'er is gone, Lin Huiru is so happy that she is about to jump up .
Chapter 306 New Clothes
"It's good to make you happy." Xu Ziqiao rubbed her forehead. If this matter didn't make Lin Huiru happy, he wouldn't do it either.
"This is the best gift for me, so I think I should also prepare a gift for you." Lin Huiru suddenly felt a little embarrassed at this moment, and Xu Ziqiao grasped her heart very accurately. But she didn't know what hobbies Xu Ziqiao had.
Hearing what she said, Xu Ziqiao lowered his brows a little, as if he was thinking about something, and then Xu Ziqiao saw that there was no one around, so he stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Huiru closer. If you want, I'll tell you."
Since this action was so ambiguous, Lin Huiru couldn't stand it any longer. She blushed and nodded hastily. It was as if it had been set on fire.
"Miss Xiaoru is back. Sister Xiaoru, we are so hungry that our chests are sticking to our backs. Is the heat ready?" Zhou Man'er sat on the side and blinked at the blushing Lin Huiru.
Lin Huiru went up to pick up a round fan and fanned lightly on the heat, and nodded when she found that there was no open flame, "It's ok, you have worked hard on the road these days, so you can eat freely, I will do it "
It's hard work, I spent several days walking and playing in the nearby places along the way, and we didn't get his quilt out, so I had a lot of fun on the professional road in the town, and I didn't notice it at all. Tired, when you arrive, Xiaoru, don't you still have to take care of several shops now? I heard that there are still many human exchanges between people, so you should be tired. Come, teach me how to do it, I Come to help you." Qi Hehua couldn't see that Lin Huiru was suffering, which is why she urged Lin Qing to pack her things as soon as she saw Xu Ziqiao's line, and rushed to the capital.
Lin Huiru shook her head, "This journey is exhausting, and basically I have to sit in the carriage all day long. I'm exhausted from the journey here. Don't pretend you're okay. I'll just do it." Alright."
While the two were evasive, Xu Ziqiao strolled over, "Mother, just listen to Xiaoru and sit down and rest. I'll bake with her, and you can just eat."
Seeing that the two people are still so affectionate, Qi Hehua smiled and typed a few more words and then didn't insist anymore.
"Xiao Ru is smart. After Boss Jia opened such a shop in the county, the business is not good. It is overcrowded almost every day, and every time he sees us, some laughing and joking come to give gifts." Lin Although Qing didn't talk much, when he spoke, he said what Lin Huiru was most concerned about.
Seeing that the barbecue can have such a big response in a small place, Lin Huiru is of course very happy, because only this can prove that if she often opens a restaurant, the business will definitely be booming.
"Then what about the cumin I asked you to plant? Is there any progress?" Lin Huiru remembered what she had told Lin Qing before.
Mentioning this, Lin Qing felt a little regretful, "I came here as soon as the seedlings sprouted, but it really doesn't look very good. I don't know if the land here is not suitable or what..." This
matter As expected by Lin Huiru, many places are not producing areas where cumin can be grown.
"It's okay, or I just want to try to see what can be grown from these. If the harvest is not good, we'd better plant something else." Lin Huiru waved his hand, not wanting to burden Lin Qing.
This barbecue kept them eating for nearly midnight. Lin Huiru and Zhou Maner made an appointment to take them out for a walk tomorrow. They were all tired after a busy day, and they slept very sweetly. .
The next morning Lin Huiru got up and prepared a rich breakfast, but Xu Ziqiao was the only one who got up because he was going to court. Lin Qing and Qi Hehua might be tired, so Lin Huiru also Did not bother.
If Zhou Man'er seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, after waking up, he took two bites of food in a hurry, and then dragged Lin Huiru to go outside to have a look.
But at this moment, Lin Huiru suddenly noticed that Zhou Maner's clothes were not of very good material, and she didn't know whether she was careless or something along the way, the back of the clothes was scratched.
"How did you do it here?" Lin Huiru asked.
Zhou Man'er followed the place Lin Huiru said, and when she saw the huge opening, she exclaimed, "Oops, I don't know when I caught yesterday's set. I'm going to wash, I only have this set of clothes left, I thought I'd buy it after I came to the capital, but now it's troublesome." "
You can wear my clothes first." Left Zhou Maner's figure and her The body shape is similar, Lin Huiru found a set that she made first, and put on this one for Zhou Maner, and then added two more hairpins.
"The material of these clothes is really good. As expected of the clothes made of this kind of material in the capital, even in our family, we can only order a few more during the Chinese New Year." Zhou Man'er fumbled for the workmanship of the clothes in a strange way.
Lin Huiru smiled, "It's just right. I had collected a lot of cloth and didn't know what to do with it. Now that you're here, I'll make you two more clothes." "No need
, The ones that can be sent to you, Xiao Ru, should be good things. Isn't it a waste of what I wear? Besides, I still have to work for you. It's not suitable, so I'll just buy two more. "Although Zhou Man'er is very rare about this dress, after thinking about it carefully, she should not wear such a good material at this time, otherwise it would be shameful.
"The left and right materials will be moldy if they are placed in the warehouse, and often the money to buy a set of clothes is not cheaper than I use these cloths to make a set of materials. You can see what suits you." Lin Lin Huiru raised her eyebrows, she is not someone who likes to force others, but it would be a pity if those materials were wasted like this.
After such a day, Zhou Man'er compromised. Wouldn't it be a waste if such a good thing is not used? Especially because these materials are good, they are very precious. If they are moldy, the texture and luster of the clothes will be greatly reduced.
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient. Miss Xiaoru, will you take me to pick it later?" Zhou Man'er happily agreed, and began to have unlimited expectations for a new life.
Chapter 307: Visitors from the Western Regions
The prosperity of this time is incomparable to any place. Even if the streets are full of traffic, the carriages walking are different. In the capital, especially the place where Lin Huiru came out, those wealthy families The nobles often come and go from here, the horses are also of extremely good breeds, and the carriages of the carriages seem to be made of valuable materials.
"Xiao Ru is really someone beyond the ordinary, and our family is already considered the richest family in the town, but when I come here often, I see the materials of their carriages. If I accidentally give them Scratch it, I'm afraid I'll have to accompany a bankrupt." Zhou Man'er was also afraid of losing face, so she kept her voice extremely low, almost speaking next to Lin Huiru's ear.
Lin Huiru smiled after hearing this. After staying in the capital for this period of time, he has also learned a lot of skills, such as identifying what material this thing is made of and how much it is worth at a glance, "I don't know. I know how much money your family has, but that carriage seems to belong to the Household Minister's family. Counting the anger of their family, the cost of this carriage should be about two hundred taels." "Two hundred taels is more than enough
, But it's almost as good as ours." Zhou Man'er murmured in her heart that she was really rich, and then quickly pulled Lin Huiru to the side, for fear that she would be caught if she accidentally hooked a thread or something. Blackmail on.
"I know your family has money." Lin Huiru joked, chatting and laughing with Zhou Maner along the way, and the journey was considered fast. The bustling place in Zhejiang Orange Juice is full of vendors of all kinds.
Selling umbrellas, daily necessities, food, they sell things that no one can think of.
Zhou Maner was like a runaway wild horse along the way, walking around on the left and playing with everything on the right, and then put the things down resentfully after asking the price.
"Sister Xiaoru, things in the capital are really expensive, but it's just a wooden hairpin, and it costs three taels of silver." Zhou Man'er exaggeratedly showed three fingers.
At first, Lin Huiru was also surprised by the prices in the capital, but until his things were sold very expensive, but there were no shortage of people who came to buy them, she felt relieved, "It's nothing, people here earn more money. There is a lot of food, so the consumption is also high, and it is of course more expensive, otherwise how can such a good location make money to support the family." Although the truth is so,
Zhou Man'er is still a little unhappy, she is still playing with various things , but Lin Huiru felt a little strange along the way.
Although this is a place where officials are densely packed, Lin Huiru had already noticed it in less than an hour this morning. First, there were no fewer than ten carriages of famous nobles passing back and forth.
"Miss Xiaoru, be careful." Just as Lin Huiru was staring at a luxurious carriage passing by in a daze, Zhou Man'er suddenly exclaimed, and then pulled Lin Huiru to the side of the road.
At the next moment, a carriage almost brushed past Lin Huiru's face and weighed Lin Huiru, which also shocked Lin Huiru, but a gust of wind blew by, and she also saw the scene where the curtain of the carriage was blown up.
The costume of the person inside is a bit strange, it seems to be from the Western Regions.
"Miss Xiaoru, why are you so dazed? You have to know that if it wasn't for me just now, you would have been hit by that carriage. There are really many cars in Zhejiang Orange Juice, so be careful." Zhou Maner muttered .
Lin Huiru pursed her lips in embarrassment and smiled, "I see. I was just distracted by things just now. You see the excitement ahead, but you don't know what you are looking at? Let's go and have a look.
" After the topic changed, Lin Huiru pulled Zhou Man'er who wanted to call him and continued to walk two steps forward, but the people in front were almost crowded, and from a distance, only countless moving heads could be seen.
"This way." Zhou Man'er spotted a narrow path with sharp eyes, but after passing through, they were almost at the gate of the city.
People were discussing enthusiastically, but Lin Huiru was at a loss. In desperation, she could only pat the aunt beside her, "What happened?"
"You don't know yet. I heard that people from the Western Regions are coming. We are all here to see what the people from the Western Regions look like." The rope still had a basket on it, and after he finished speaking, he continued to gossip.
"I heard that these people from the Western Regions have three heads and six arms. I don't know if it's really that scary." "
That's a monster, how can they be human? But I heard that they are all naked and drink blood without wearing a few clothes I heard that both men and women are very rough."
Hearing these frightening rumors, Lin Huiru suddenly felt a little helpless. He also took a rough look at the map of this era. The so-called reputation is often about a hundred and eight thousand miles away from where they are, and there is no chance of communication. In addition, the people gathered here are almost all at the bottom. Yes, even if you come across the Western Regions to do business or pay tribute, you may not be able to see it. Presumably, you are a little demonized in your heart towards the Western Regions people you have never met.
"Sister Xiaoru, do you think these people from the Western Regions are really as scary as they say?" Zhou Man'er tiptoed to the gate of the city. He hadn't seen anyone for a long time, and then he was tired from standing, so he put down his foot and pulled Pull Lin Huiru's clothes.
Lin Huiru smiled helplessly, "How is that possible? They are also human beings. However, some tribes seem to be born rougher. After all, most of them are windy and sandy, and they even eat beef and mutton. Strong."
"The woman is strong, isn't it very ugly?" Zhou Man'er asked worriedly.
"That's not necessarily the case. I heard that the women in the Western Regions are all curvy and very slim. Their beauty is different from that of our Han people, but they are actually quite beautiful. If they really come from here If you leave, you will know when you see it." Lin Huiru felt a little throbbing in her heart, she heard that the costumes of people in the ancient Western Regions were very gorgeous and had a different kind of beauty, she also wanted to see it with her own eyes .
Zhou Man'er nodded, "Sister Xiaoru, you know a lot. Have you ever met people from the Western Regions? I heard that people from the Western Regions also use that barbecue method to eat beef and mutton. Miss Ru , you haven't been to the Western Regions, have you?"
Lin Huiru rolled her eyes after hearing this, "Do you think I am someone who can run so far?"
Chapter 308
"It's almost a thousand miles from the capital to Xiyu, let alone from our county, and I heard that the terrain in the Western Regions is very burdensome, and there are winds and sands that are not suitable for us to live in. "Zhou Man'er realized later.
Lin Huiru shook her head, "Well, although I haven't been there, Spanish doesn't seem to be what you think. Although there are wind and sand in some places, some places are very suitable for growing crops. The four seasons are as warm as spring."
"Is there such a good place?" Zhou Man'er was like a hundred thousand whys, and Lin Huiru was a little tired when she asked, seeing a faint shadow appearing outside the city gate, Lin Huiru If you quickly put your index finger in front of your lips.
"Look, it seems to be coming."
The people who were already noisy, became quieter. This was one of the few opportunities for them to be a westerner. After waiting for almost a stick of incense, the first horse came Stepping in from the city gate, the leaders are actually the people who lead the way, as well as the soldiers who protect the people from the Western Regions.
A little further on, there are horses and mules and camels. There are scenes of people riding these three kinds of livestock.
Although Lin Huiru didn't know who the man from the Western Regions he saw before was, just judging from the treatment he received in a carriage as a senior, he should be of extraordinary status.
"Miss Xiaoru, look, that woman is so beautiful!" Zhou Man'er was stunned by what she was looking at, and frantically tugged at Lin Huiru's sleeve.
Lin Huiru also followed his gaze. This time, Lin Huiru realized that the beauty that is attractive for ten thousand years is different from their beauty, but this woman does meet their aesthetic standards.
Although the woman's skin was wheat-colored, her figure was uneven without a trace of fat. Due to the hot weather in the Western Regions, their clothes did not wrap themselves tightly like the Han people.
The woman's head was covered with a veil, and although half of her face was covered, her eyes were extremely beautiful. Their racial superiority was very annoying. People from the Western Regions have very thick eyelashes and eyebrows, high nose bridges, and even their eyes have other colors.
In this era, the attractive painting style actually includes a lot of foreigners. Lin Huiru looked at the woman in the middle who was protected by everyone and figured in her heart that this should also be a woman with status in the Western Regions.
What surprised her the most was that the woman had two-color pupils, the left side was dark brown, and the right side was blue, which surprised many people.
Indeed, as Lin Huiru said, the appearance and clothes of the people in the Western Regions are different from those of the Han people, but this attractive person is not superficial, nor is it very rough, and it can be regarded as a popularization of knowledge for some people who do not know the truth. Here's the chance.
When the team of newcomers had completely entered the city, the gates were also closed, leaving only a small gate for people to pass through.
"Okay, everyone has gone far away, what are you still thinking here?" Lin Huiru asked Zhou Man'er, who was still in a daze beside him, inexplicably.
Zhou Man'er, who came back to her senses, was extremely excited, "Miss Xiaoru, did you see that young and beautiful man just now? He looks really good-looking!" "
A man? What man?" Lin Huiru almost Is at a loss.
"It's the one sitting on the horse, surrounded by white gauze, and the one with blue eyes." Zhou Maner excitedly pulled Lin Huiru to describe his appearance, "I didn't expect that there are men who can be more beautiful than women. "
This made Lin Huiru look dumbfounded. Why didn't she notice the man where the man came from?
"That's clearly a woman, so why do you treat her as a man?" Lin Huiru rubbed her forehead and asked.
"That's obviously a man. You see, he still has an Adam's apple, and his nose bridge is very pretty, and his chest is also very flat. Since the status is very high, how can a woman reveal part of her abdomen?" Zhou Maner This time there was no compromise, but he straightened his neck and challenged Lin Huiru.
But according to Lin Huiru's memory, it was obviously a woman, "Sometimes some women can also see the Adam's apple, and the bridge of the nose is quite pretty, it should be a feature of people from the Western Regions, and lying flat on the chest can't prove anything , look at yours, don't you understand. And don't you see that the person walking next to you is dressed in the same way? It seems to be their aesthetics in the Western Regions." Regarding the gender of this person, Zhou Man'er and Lin Huiru were a little
confused If one person is killed, it is a man, and if the other is killed, it is a woman.
"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you anymore. It's already noon now. I'm hungry after talking nonsense with you. Think about what we're going to eat." Lin Huiru used her hand as a fan to give herself some Feng, this is the first time she has been bullied by Zhou Man'er like this.
Is that really a man?
How is that possible? How can a man wear women's clothes, and that figure, although a bit flatter, but the muscles on his body are very well-proportioned and not obtrusive. No matter how you look at it, you look like a woman.
"Ah, I thought about it. Anyway, whether he is a man or a woman has nothing to do with us. Xiao Ru, you have been in the capital for so long and you haven't found a very delicious shop. Can you take me to try it?" It took a long time at most, and Zhou Man'er was also thirsty. He hurriedly took out his money and went to the roadside to buy two cups of sour plum soup, one of which he drank, and then handed the other cup to Lin Huiru.
Lin Huiru took a sip and nodded, "Of course there are more shops that taste delicious, because there are too many, I am really confused about where to take you." "I want to eat something
refreshing A little bit, there is no other requirement, as long as you don't take me to eat noodles and drink soup." It's hot summer now, if you go to eat noodles and drink soup or it's the same as Lin Huiru's previous shop Going to eat something spicy and so on, Zhou Man'er would feel that she might die of heat on the street.
"Then let's go directly to eat some home-cooked food. Many shops need to be booked in advance. I'm afraid there is no place to go at this time. There is one whose cold dishes are very delicious." Lin Huiru turned around and took Zhou Man'er there. Lin Huiru had to thank Shen Jiao for talking about the origin of this shop.
Later, she went into that store again, and after accidentally ordering a few dishes, she found that although the decoration of the store was a bit too luxurious, the taste of the food was still there, and it wasn't that flashy feeling.
Except that the consumption is a bit more expensive, there are no other shortcomings, but a friend came from afar. After all, Zhou Man'er was his earliest playmate, and she will help him run the shop in the future. It's just a waste of money for food, it's nothing It hurts so much.
Chapter 309 The Princess of the Feudal Kingdom
After a full meal, Lin Huiru stepped out of the gate of the restaurant, and saw two acquaintances facing each other. I don't know if today is a private school holiday or what, but Ji Linglong and Princess Anning came out to play hand in hand.
"Sister Lin, aren't you sick? Oh, I see, you're just pretending to be sick and skipping class!" Ji Linglong smacked her mouth, and then looked at Zhou Man'er next to her.
"How can it be considered skipping class? It's to help you unmarried people learn etiquette. I'm an old married couple, so I won't suffer from that crime." Lin Huiru smiled, seeing that they were all looking at Zhou Maner, she introduced Said, "This is my friend from my hometown, Zhou Maner. This is Miss Ji from the consort's mansion, and this is Princess Anning." Upon hearing the
names of these two people, Zhou Maner was speechless in surprise. After thinking for a long time, she made a somewhat funny salute, "The daughter of the people has met Her Royal Highness." "
Excuse me, please keep your voice down, I don't want others to know that I have come out." Princess An Ning hurriedly put her index finger in front of her lips , made a silent gesture, seeing her like this, Lin Huiru could guess that this time Princess Anning probably came out secretly again.
"Why do you two come out to play leisurely? Didn't you have class today? Or did you sneak out again?" Lin Huiru brought the topic back and asked with raised eyebrows.
Princess Anning grinned, "No, today is really a day off, but they didn't allow me to come out to play, because there are people from the feudal kingdom coming today, and I have to participate in the palace banquet tonight. Just go back."
"Then you have to make good use of your time, meeting guests is no small matter, otherwise you will have to ground your feet for a long time." Lin Huiru reminded with a smack of her mouth.
"Understood, isn't it still early? Just leave an hour for me to go back and freshen up. But sister Lin, you didn't even call me when you came out to play, and I came here to eat and didn't call me, you Are you afraid that I won't be able to spend your money?" Princess An Ning pouted with her hands on her hips.
Lin Huiru smiled, "That's right, princess, you are a big spender. I can't afford to order more than a dozen dishes."
"Tch, you have a lot of money." Princess Anning curled her lips, obviously a little unhappy.
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. We won't be company just after eating. You two have a good time." Lin Huiru could feel Zhou Man'er's embarrassment next to her. After all, the two in front of her were originally As a businessman, plus his status is not so high, Zhou Man'er looked at him as a matter of course.
"Okay, let's travel together again in another day." Ji Linglong nodded, and dragged Princess Anning inside. ââAfter walking a long way, Zhou Man'er came back to her senses, and she pulled Lin Huiru's sleeve in surprise, " It turns out
that this famous lady and princess don't have any pretensions!"
I met the two with the best tempers in the capital. I don't know the others. I've really encountered the kind of people who care about trivial things with you, and you don't even know each other. I've already started planning how to harm you." Lin Huiru folded her arms, shook her head and said with emotion.
"I've heard that companions are like companions to tigers. I didn't expect that accompanying these high-status people has to look forward and backward. It's really troublesome. It's like being chewed by those long tongues in the village." Zhou Maner sighed with emotion. In a word, when they were in the county, their family was considered a big family, and it was usually praised by others, but now in the capital, she seems to have become an ordinary person again. She really couldn't react for a while.
"Don't be emotional here. If you want to, just go out and play with them in the future, but I don't recommend you to do this at that time. After all, I saw many people walking around. Some were born in childhood. The ladies of noble families are not so easy to get along with, and there are often a lot of intrigues in Xianzhou. What's more, their social activities are all for family friendship, so go around if you can." Lin Huiru sighed, She can't hide now even if she wants to hide.
After hearing what she said, Zhou Man'er nodded half-understood, "I don't like to get along with those high-minded people, but I think the sister named Baishu in your house is very nice, and the one named Yulian Maid, maybe I can play with them."
"Bai Shu once helped me manage my shop for a period of time. If you want to hand it over in the future, you can find Bai Shu to take over. In fact, Bai Shu is a shrewd and capable person, and he is also very easy to get along with. It's just that he may not talk much at ordinary times. Yulian's words are still available in Fuzhong. There are some things waiting for her to do, just don't interfere with her working time." Lin Huiru dragged Zhou Maner down the trail, she really didn't want to see some officials she had dealt with from the road again up.
The etiquette among the officials is indispensable, if she almost greets each other, she has to stop every three steps in this bureaucratic place.
Sometimes Lin Huiru knew more officials than Xu Ziqiao. After all, she was a businessman, and her business was closer to some officials.
After returning home, Lin Huiru unexpectedly saw Xu Ziqiao who had come back.
"Why did you come back so early today? Didn't I hear that someone from the Western Regions came?" Lin Huiru asked curiously.
After Xu Ziqiao came back, he changed his clothes. He looked back at Lin Huiru and fastened his clothes, "I came here specially to pick you up. Your Majesty has a decree for you to attend today's palace banquet." "No,
I It's just a woman, and what's more, such an occasion is really breathless, are you sure your Majesty has no fever today?" Lin Huiru's mind went blank, and she was very annoyed thinking about those politeness and rules.
"Clean up obediently and go change into gorgeous clothes. You are going this time mainly to accompany the princess from the Western Regions. I heard that you can make milk tea and perfume. Your reputation has spread throughout the Western Regions. That princess wants to meet you by name." Xu Ziqiao looked at Lin Huiru, in fact, he was very pleased with this matter, and he was able to become famous, which proved that all the hardships and tiredness Lin Huiru had suffered is rewarded.
But the tree attracts the wind and the heights are unbearably cold. Xu Ziqiao doesn't want Lin Huiru to be praised too high. If this kind of thing happens repeatedly, it will undoubtedly push Lin Huiru to the forefront.
Fortunately, Lin Huiru is already married to him, otherwise there will definitely be rumors that His Majesty appreciates Lin Huiru.
Chapter 310 Palace Banquet
"Miss Xiaoru, you can go. After all, this is a rare opportunity. Today, you can see how beautiful the princess is from such a distance. Maybe you can watch the dance in the Western Regions today." Zhou Man'er persuaded Lin Huiru that he still wanted to hear Lin Huiru come back and talk to her about what he had seen and heard.
But even if Zhou Man'er didn't have to persuade Lin Huiru to do this matter, after all, the emperor's order was hard to break. Lin Huiru changed into more gorgeous clothes, and followed Xu Ziqiao into the carriage before sunset. ââOn the carriage, Lin Huiru was a little apprehensive, "Zi Qiao, those people from the Western Regions, can
they speak the language of our Han people?"
, when the time comes, you shouldn't have to say too much, just go to meet up." Xu Ziqiao sat on the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.
Because of Lin Huiru's good care of her, Xu Ziqiao's life is stronger now, and she looks even more handsome and handsome in regular clothes.
Only then did Lin Huiru breathe a sigh of relief. If people from the Western Regions could communicate with her in fluent Chinese, she would be worried to death.
Coming to the palace again, Lin Huiru's sense of novelty in the palace was also much less. Who could stand it if he came here every two days.
Fortunately, there were not many people at the palace banquet today, only a few princes and princesses, a few concubines, and a few high-ranking ministers.
These artists are some foreigners looking at the past, Lin Huiru only felt that she was even more amazing. Originally, she had very few opportunities to meet foreigners in modern times. Even if there are so many exchange students in a school, she is usually surrounded by others There were too many people around her, so she didn't have the thought to go over there.
At this moment, the princess of the Western Regions was not wearing a veil. After her entire face and hair were exposed, she had blond hair, blue eyes, and coquettish eyes of different colors. No matter how you looked at it, it made people feel very amazing.
While Lin Huiru was carefully looking at the princess, a general opposite seemed to say something, but the interpreter was not sitting at the moment.
Lin Huiru was stunned when she heard this sentence. These people from the Western Regions actually spoke pure English?
Although she is from the Chinese Department, as a liberal arts student, it is inevitable that she can be bilingual. The people from the Western Regions speak some Polite words, thanks to His Majesty for hosting a banquet and the like.
But the people present were all dumbfounded.
Just when Lin Huiru was in a dilemma, Princess Anning leaned over, "new news, it seems that someone drugged the translator's drink, he is squatting in the latrine and can't get out What."
Is this some kind of bizarre method of murder?
Lin Huiru once again felt that she was a bit stupid. What she did would affect the affairs between the two countries. Only such a person could speak Chinese and the language of the Western Regions, and this person would become an important link. But this bond is suddenly broken now, and people have given laxatives to their land price, and it may be detrimental to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Seeing the face of the emperor and several other people from the Western Regions getting worse and worse, Lin Huiru could even hear the people from the Western Regions trying to figure out what the Han people meant in English. down.
I don't know when the translator will come back, so I can't create misunderstandings!
"We don't mean to be unfriendly. This incident is probably an accident. Our friendship is a thorn in the flesh for some people. I hope all friends don't be impulsive. After Lin Huiru spoke fluent English, everyone present was astonished.
"You will speak our language?" asked the general.
Lin Huiru nodded, "I know a little bit. If there is anything you want to express, I can convey it for you."
Seeing them talking incomprehensible words, others were a little anxious.
"Lin Huiru, can you speak the language of people from the Western Regions?" Qian Yuan squinted his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
Lin Huiru bit the bullet and stood up to salute, "I once knew a friend meeting, so I learned a few simple sentences, at least I can communicate briefly to make up for the shortcomings, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. The most important thing at the moment is to send that person The translator's disease is cured."
What she said is not unreasonable, and there will be many problems due to the language barrier, Qian Yuan nodded, "Then what did they say just now?" "
Most of what this general said was gratitude. What you say, Your Majesty, is not talented, so I can only understand a small part of it." Lin Huiru mainly found it troublesome, and the Western Regions people don't know where they learned so many auspicious words.
"It's good to have these, it's better than no one. You tell them for me that I should do this, just to welcome them from afar. I'm afraid the establishment of diplomatic relations will be delayed for a day, and we will handle it properly. Yes." Qian Yuan waved his sleeves and drank a glass of wine.
Now it is enough to prove that Lin Huiru really knows how to be westernized. Not to mention that everyone is surprised, even Xu Ziqiao frowned slightly. How could he not know that Lin Huiru once had a friend from the Western Regions? Those messy things that Lin Huiru knew were very strange and wonderful things to him.
After Lin Huiru conveyed the words on his behalf, the generals and hands on the opposite side also bowed to Qianyuan with a glass of wine.
After there was no translation, the communication between the two sides also decreased a lot. Lin Huiru simply sat in the seat of the Western Regions, next to the princess, so as to help them explain what they said.
However, in order to prove her lies, even if Lin Huiru understands many complicated sentences, she will choose to pretend not to know and apologize, which can be regarded as a complete circle of her little words.
Under the urging of Lin Huiru, although the banquet was stumbling, it would not completely collapse anyway.
In the end, because the interpreter from the Western Regions was still unable to climb out of the latrine in the palace, Qianyuan could only arrange for the people from the Western Regions to live in Xu Ziqiao's mansion, and it was also convenient for Lin Huiru, a temporary tour guide, to take them to visit the capital tomorrow.
Lin Huiru could only pick a place where no one was around and sighed to the sky, how could her life be so miserable.
When the palace banquet was over, Princess Anning came over like a little girl and boasted, "Sister Lin, you are really amazing, you can even speak the language of the Western Regions, teach me, this princess of the Western Regions is really beautiful, I also want to have a word with her."
Being entangled so helplessly, Lin Huiru could only nod in agreement, and taught Princess Anning good night.
Xu Ziqiao was very taciturn at the side. He always felt that Lin Huiru seemed to be hiding a lot of things from her, and he had to ask clearly tonight.
