Let Liu Xiulan have nothing to say. There are three people in her family, and Lin Yaoyao is with her. I'm afraid it's hard to tell them to give half of the money. Looking at the current state of the Lin family, Being able to give money is already the limit.
On the way back, Liu Xiulan was a little reluctant, "Who is this family? They still think that they will send a carriage to pick them up. Why do we have to work so hard?" Xu Qinghe also saw through Liu Xiulan's
thoughts , but it doesn't matter how the three of them are divided, so they can only comfort them in desperation, "Go early and settle down early, we can't live with the Lin family, we will pick the best ones first." "
So That's right, then let's not delay, let's go tomorrow." Liu Xiulan gritted her teeth, the journey was far away, and it was winter, sitting on the ox cart was freezing everywhere, even if she wanted to hire a Cheaper carriages don't have that amount of money.
The Lin family, Lin Yaoyao was a bit reluctant, after all it was hard to think about this journey, "Mother, why do you want me to go with that family, I also want to go by carriage, to see how poor they are like us, at most I can only sit The bullock cart, maybe we have to go."
"Yaoyao, that's not what I said, but if you don't go, no one in our family can go, anyway, you are Lin Huiru's younger sister, and our family The money is enough for one person to go." Zhou Pandi sighed, what else could she hope for in this situation, she was content to find someone to go to Lin Huiru's place to dig some oil and water.
Although Lin Yaoyao had millions of reluctances in her heart, this was the only way for them to get out of this predicament. She and Lin Huiru are sisters, so why does Lin Huiru have to work hard here while Lin Huiru is well-clothed and well-fed in the capital.
"Back then, you asked me to marry Xu Ziqiao, wouldn't it be fine? Now I'm the prime minister's wife, both of whom are surnamed Lin. Why should I be a head lower than Lin Huiru?" She also became a resentful woman, let alone someone like Lin Yaoyao with high spirits.
"Who knew that Xu Ziqiao could have such a bright future? Didn't you and the young master of the Zhou family still have a few words to say? Mother thought that it would be great for you to marry the young master of the Zhou family. Although there are more wives and concubines, today is a good day. How can a rich man not have three wives and four concubines." Zhou Pandi suddenly had another thought in her heart, and looked at Lin Yaoyao with a flicker of eyes, "Yaoyao, mother has another way, you Do you want to hear it?"
"What?" Lin Yaoyao replied angrily.
Zhou Pandi looked around, and Lin Dashan was already drunk and fell to the side, "I have to plan for the future of this daughter's family. Now Xu Ziqiao is a dragon and phoenix. Throughout the ages, there are many rich families where sisters married together. , you seized the opportunity to go this time, show more courtesy to Xu Ziqiao, and try to let him marry you, and from now on, you will also be the little wife who will live in the prime minister's mansion." Lin Yaoyao felt disgusted at first hearing this idea
, But when you think about it carefully, it's not unreasonable to say, "But... I don't know how to do it.
" If you live with a man, then this matter will be settled. You, it's okay to cook a meal for Xu Ziqiao, talk to him, and create more opportunities for yourself. No man is not tempted by the beauty delivered to his door. We Yao Yaoke is also one of the most beauties in the village." Zhou Pandi touched Lin Yaoyao's face, feeling more and more that this strategy is feasible.
But Lin Yaoyao couldn't hold it anymore. The previous incident made her a little afraid of Lin Huiru, "Mother, you are right, but Lin Huiru is not easy to mess with. How can I have so many opportunities?
" Men don't like to be strong, but Lin Huiru's vixenity is just that, you, just give in to Lin Huiru everywhere, and build a good relationship with Lin Huiru. Although I have wronged you, but now I have been wronged for a while, and I will enjoy the blessings in the future It's also you." Zhou Pandi continued to speak earnestly, shaking Lin Yaoyao's mind bit by bit.
That's right, let Lin Huiru do whatever she wants, she used to have a husband who raised people, but now she has a husband who is a prime minister. Without a man, she is nothing.
The road was bumpy, and the four of them made do in a hard-board ox cart. Since it was the cold winter, there were not many people running to and from delivery, and most of them had stockpiled winter food and prepared it at home. It's Chinese New Year, only the four of them are running around on the road, and there are few people.
Thinking of the prosperity of the capital makes Liu Xiulan feel excited. This is the only motivation that supports her on the road in this winter. Although they are on the same boat now, Liu Xiulan still has a lot of heart, Zhuang Zhuang wants to When it comes to food, she always prevaricates Lin Yaoyao to spend money, and the relationship is almost broken along the way.
After entering the capital, the prosperity of the capital opened the eyes of the bumpkins. Even if they were ordinary people, the clothes of the people in the capital were different from theirs. At least there were no rags or patches on their clothes.
A few people came in a bullock cart, and they still smelled like the goods on their bodies. Walking on the street, they attracted a lot of disgusted eyes. Liu Xiulan couldn't hold back her face, so she secretly recruited a corner and put on her best clothes , and was almost seen by a few beggars.
Xu Qinghe's complexion is not very good, he is even more at a loss in this kind of place, Zhuang Zhuang is spoiled by them, he wants everything he sees.
Liu Xiulan thought it was shameful to sit on a bullock cart, so after entering the capital, she went down to the ground and used to walk, walking to and fro, looking at the fresh things in the streets and alleys, and when she asked the price, she was so scared that she almost sat on the ground.
"My God, this is just a bunch of hawthorns, and it costs five cents. Zhuang Zhuang, let's not eat it. We will eat big fish and meat when we see my brother and sister-in-law." Liu Xiulan, who has never seen the world, attracted the crowd The common people laughed at her, and Lin Yaoyao felt that she couldn't keep her face.
The current Lin Yaoyao has already been told by Zhou Pandi that she looks like she will be a member of the prime minister's mansion tomorrow. She is wearing a new flowered jacket, looks rustic and has a touch of elegance, her waist is very straight, she can't wait to leave Liu Xiulan and Xu Qinghe kept their distance.
But no matter how Liu Xiulan lied to Zhuang Zhuang, Zhuang Zhuang just threw it on the side of the street, thinking that the journey had been a hard one, Liu Xiulan snatched the money bag from Xu Qinghe, and gave the five cents to Xiao with heartache stall owner.
But Zhuang Zhuang didn't eat the candied haws when he got it, he just waved it in his hand, and soon got the whole thing on the body of other children.
Chapter 422 Shame
Originally, Liu Xiulan wanted to scold people for being short-sighted, but when she saw the material of the clothes, they would not be able to pay for it if they lived frugally for a lifetime, and immediately thought of running away, but she just covered Zhuang Zhuang's mouth and turned away. body, surrounded by a circle of tall and burly servants.
"Where do you want to go? Get this kind of filth on our young master, and you won't be able to wear this clothes in the future!" A slightly older woman frowned and threw the candied haws aside, looking at the good-looking man. The material was stained with sugar, and his brows were tightly frowned.
They were surrounded by water, and they were in the wrong, so Liu Xiulan could only confess her cowardice and apologize quickly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, if children are ignorant and careless, it's just sugar, just wash it off." But that woman did
n't After eating this set, Liu Xiulan's family's attire made her not look directly at anyone, "Where are the country bumpkins from, our young master's clothes are newly made, every stitch and thread is made by a famous embroiderer. The thread is very expensive, and it costs a hundred and eight thousand taels for this body, and it is dirty and turned into a ball after touching the sugar, how can I wear this clothes?! Lose money!" This price made Liu Xiulan's eyes roll
. She's about to stare, aunt, she can't even wear a hundred of these clothes.
At this time Lin Yaoyao was standing thousands of miles away from them, watching the play with a mocking face.
No matter what, they couldn't get the money out anymore, but Liu Xiulan thought about it, they came to the capital to seek refuge, no matter how big the family is, can it be bigger than the prime minister with less than one person and more than ten thousand people?
Thinking of this, Liu Xiulan straightened her waist, "You are just this child's servant, do you know who I am?!" The mother-in-law was delighted, "What's the matter, are you still the emperor's
concubine? You don't deserve to carry your shoes."
The crowd roared with laughter, and Liu Xiulan's face turned red and white, "My younger brother is the famous Prime Minister Xu Ziqiao! What kind of thing are you who dare to yell at me!?"
Even if she was bumped into this meeting, the mother-in-law was also happy, "Your brother is Mr. Xu? Then my brother is the king of heaven! These days, no one dares to cheat on relatives. Mr. Xu's biological father has not been found yet." It's too early for you to come to recognize your relatives. Our old lady specially found someone to make this clothes for the young master. If you don't pay, you can go back with me to clean the latrine!
" The farce was treated as a joke, Mr. Xu's search for his biological father actually provoked so many shameless people, it is really a person who is too cold at a high place.
Xu Qinghe and Liu Xiulan changed their faces. Now if Xu Ziqiao found his biological parents, his relationship with them would be even more alienated. Liu Xiulan hurriedly screamed, "You dare to fight with me?! If you don't believe me, take me to the Prime Minister's Mansion and see if Xu Ziqiao calls me a sister-in-law!" "Ahead, what are you doing!
" The officers and soldiers passed by here, "Siege on the road, what if the carriages of the adults pass by?!"
As soon as the officers and soldiers came, the people knew that there was no excitement, and they all patted their buttocks and scattered like birds and beasts. The woman looked at the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers looked at her, and she smiled when she recognized it, "It's Mama Liu, how come you have the time to take the young master out to play today?" "Hmph, it's rare for the young master to come out to
play , just met such a poor family who soiled the clothes, and the old lady specially sent people to make the clothes, and they couldn't wear them, and they couldn't afford the money." The old lady said angrily.
In the capital, most people have the eyes to see that this thing is of great value. The officers and soldiers saw that the material is not cheap. Looking at the two foreigners, Liu Xiulan and Xu Qinghe, they sneered, "You are not small. How dare you dirty the clothes of the youngest son of Mr. Zuoxiang, come and take him away."
"Don't touch me! I'm Xu Ziqiao's sister-in-law! He's Xu Ziqiao's brother, who cares who your leftist is!" The officers and soldiers didn't hold back, and they were knocked out and taken away. It only makes people feel that there are so many lunatics in this world.
At the same time, it happened that Xu Ziqiao and Lin Huiru came out of the hot pot restaurant, talking and laughing, and went back to the house.
Today, the news that two lunatics recognized their relatives quickly spread throughout the capital. What is even more amazing is that Liu Xiulan still has the confidence to shout and shout in the prison.
Soon, even Lin Huiru heard the news.
"Ma'am, there are a lot of mentally ill people this year." When Bai Shu was pouring tea for Lin Huiru, she inadvertently sighed.
Lin Huiru calmed down and read the book rarely, blew on the hot air and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong, who offended you again?", "That's right, yesterday a
patrol army caught two lunatics and shouted at myself It's Mr. Xu's elder brother and sister-in-law, and they're still on the patrol, and it's embarrassing to hear." Bai Shu sighed, and brought a new Mrs. Tang to put Lin Huiru on.
But these words shocked Lin Huiru, and she was stunned. After a long time, she came back to her senses and asked with a complicated expression, "What did you say? Claiming to be brother and sister-in-law? They came from other places? Did you still bring them?" A pretty uneducated little fat man?"
Bai Shu was also taken aback, "No, madam, do you really know them?"
Lin Huiru felt a mouthful of old blood choked in her throat, "Well, what they said is true, but This family has been bullying people since I got married, and they are asking for money and wanting me to support them. Now this time, there is probably nothing good about it. Now it's over. " Lin Huiru had a sneer on his face, and the gloomy atmosphere around him made Bai Shu feel that his wife was a bit domineering and wanted to kill someone.
Bai Shu swallowed her saliva, thinking about it, it was really embarrassing, "...I heard that woman splashed so much that she was scratched by officers and soldiers. Fortunately, the common people only regarded them as lunatics, otherwise they would have no face to go out." "...
Liu I have already been taught about Shi's splashing, but I didn't expect that I am getting more and more courageous now, but I can't ignore it, or if I am really confirmed by others, I really can't go out to meet people." Lin Huiru rubbed the center of her brows with a headache. At the same time, Xu Ziqiao's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot after receiving the news, and she rushed back in a hurry.
When the two met, they could tell from each other's expressions that they hesitated to speak.
It was Lin Huiru who broke the deadlock first, "What should I do?"
"Before you lose face and lose your face, let's get rid of them first." Xu Ziqiao sighed. I don't have time to deal with my brother and sister-in-law.
Chapter 423
"That's what you said, but you don't think that according to their temperament, this time they probably came to seek refuge with their relatives, but they are not so easy to deal with." How to deal with this matter left Lin Huiru at a loss. caught in a dilemma.
Just when the matter was at an impasse, Bai Shu ran over in a panic, "Ma'am, another person came outside and said that her name is Lin Yaoyao, and she is your sister... Hey, Ma'am!" Lin Huiru heard Lin Yaoyao's name
. When she was in bed, her legs went limp, and if Xu Ziqiao hadn't helped her up in time, she would almost have sat down on the ground.
"These two families have made an appointment, right?" Lin Huiru covered her forehead, unable to speak of the pain in her heart.
"How about we reject it?" Bai Shu suggested.
Lin Huiru waved her hand, "Forget it, let's bring someone in. Anyway, she's not my own sister. I've done my best to her. I want to know how shameless this family can be."
Bai Shu nodded, and opened the door with a straight face, "Come in."
Although she saw that Bai Shu was angry, Lin Yaoyao still suppressed her anger. After all, she had to bear the burden of humiliation and stay here. The maids can't afford to offend them.
Along the way, Lin Yaoyao pretended to be naive and asked Bai Shu a lot of things, except for the occasional answer, Bai Shu didn't care about it, and the servants next to her didn't respect Lin Yaoyao at all, and completely regarded her as nothing. .
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Lin Huiru, who was wearing high-quality materials and sitting there drinking tea, Lin Yaoyao was so jealous, and the warm temperature in the room, as well as the vague fragrance, made her heart ache. Longing for life, I am more determined to stay.
"Sister, long time no see, how are you?" Lin Yaoyao stepped forward, just when Xu Ziqiao raised her head, the more beautiful face set off by the clothes also caused the deer in her heart to slam.
Lin Huiru had a sneer on her lips, "It's very good, don't worry about it, tell me, you came with Brother Xu? What's the matter with the two of them?"
Seeing that Lin Huiru was upset, Lin Yaoyao also endured it, and according to the trick Zhou Pandi taught her, she also lowered her head pretending to be pitiful, "The family misses you very much, we all know that we were wrong, brother-in-law The family members also came together, but after entering the city, they stained the clothes of the young master of Zuo Xiang's family, fortunately, they were spoiled, so they were taken away."
Tsk. Lin Huiru rubbed her aching temple, "So, what are you doing here?", "
Sister... I just came to see how you are on behalf of the family. Grandpa and grandma are getting worse and worse. Although I also want to come to see you, sister, but my body doesn't allow it, so I came alone." Lin Yaoyao's acting skills this time are still good, and she looks very well-behaved on the surface.
But Lin Huiru had seen clearly the nature of this person a long time ago, and she couldn't forget all the disgusting things before, "Really, grandma was put into the coffin before, it's good to be alive now, I can't eat anything alive. Alright, I saw you too, the Chinese New Year will not be long, you should go back early, maybe you can catch up with the New Year's Eve dinner." Just after saying
a few words, he started to chase people away, Xu Ziqiao didn't say anything, After all, he also knew that this sister of the Lin family was not a good guy, so there was no need for him to have any relationship with her.
"Sister...I've been walking for most of the time, and my feet are covered with blisters. Does my sister not even give you a sip of hot tea? Sister, if you are still brooding about what happened before, my sister is willing to be an ox or a horse. " Lin Yaoyao hurriedly wanted to step forward to express her feelings, but was blocked by Lin Huiru's hand.
"I have no objection if you want to take a break. There is still a sip of hot tea, but the ugly words are up front. We have no blood relationship. I am willing to have some contacts with my own conscience. I hope you will be satisfied. The past will never be repeated. , and I have no shortage of people here." Lin Huiru's tone was cold, she was not competing with Lin Yaoyao, but there were many things that made her feel extremely disgusted when she thought about it.
Lin Yaoyao couldn't bear it anymore, but she also knew that confronting Lin Huiru head-on now would be fruitless, so she could only swallow her bad breath, "Sister... I know that nothing I can do can make up for my previous mistakes, but now My grandparents are not in good health, my father's legs are not good, there is nothing to do, and the family has no money to buy charcoal fire, so I want to find a job in the capital. The capital earns a lot, so I can subsidize the family. Sister No matter what you do, you hire people. Instead of giving money to outsiders, it's better to give money to your own family, right?"
"You can see this is wrong, who in my house is not a family member? As for my money, I can give it to whoever I want Who is it for. If you want to make a living in the capital, you can go east to the market, and other mansions will not want people with unknown backgrounds. If you want to go back, a friend of mine will pass by Zhengyang Town. You can rest Rest for two days and go back." Now it is the maximum limit that Lin Huiru can do.
Seeing that she couldn't stay like this, Lin Yaoyao gritted her teeth. Only by staying can there be hope, "I won't go back. If I go back, the whole family will starve to death. My sister wants to trouble my sister to help me find someone who can afford it." With food and housing, I can endure all kinds of hardships now." As she spoke, Lin Yaoyao stretched out her hand and showed Lin Huiru her rough hands.
Yes, if she goes back, she might as well work in the capital.
Lin Huiru glanced at her, and turned her attention to her hands. When she was working hard day and night to make money, her hands were also full of calluses and chilblains. Unexpectedly, in the past six months, they have recovered. Not a trace of it.
"Okay, but the ugly words are up front. We have already separated, and we are not sisters. If you go out to work, you'd better not use the fact that I am your sister, otherwise I will Send someone to send you back regardless of sympathy." When looking at Lin Yaoyao's hand, although Lin Huiru was not moved, there was still a trace of kindness in her heart.
No matter what, Lin Yaoyao managed to stay here, she expressed her thanks with two tears, and began to think about the next plan.
The headache for Xu Ziqiao and Lin Huiru now is that Liu Xiulan and Xu Qinghe's family are not so easy to deal with. It doesn't look like they are in the village now, and she can't use violence, but money can make ghosts go round. If they don't know how to flatter them, as long as she says a word, no one wants to sell them face.
"You can hide from the first day of the junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day. You can escape from the monks, but you can't escape from the temple. In order to have a good year, let's go to the patrol camp." Lin Huiru sighed, and changed into a light one with Xu Ziqiao The clothes went out.
Chapter 424
When they arrived at the patrol camp, Xu Ziqiao and Lin Huiru's faces were gloomy and ugly. After all, they had heard all kinds of rumors along the way, as well as Xu Qinghe and Liu Xiulan's life-and-death actions in the patrol camp.
This person has been locked up here for a day, beaten and scolded, but still clinging to the identities of Lin Huiru and Xu Ziqiao. It must be said that the influence is not small. In a prime minister's family, it is really unfortunate for such two people to appear.
Originally, the people in the patrol battalion were still watching the excitement, thinking that Xu Ziqiao had never lost his temper in the world, and he didn't know how to deal with it at this time.
It's a pity that Xu Ziqiao didn't even see anyone, and directly ordered him to be taken to Jingzhao Yin's residence.
Now the patrol battalion is considered to be under the command of King Xiang, and they are in the same camp for the time being, but it's better not to let that bad person know about such embarrassing things.
Even if he joined Jing Zhaoyin, Jing Zhaoyin still thinks this family is annoying.
When seeing Xu Qinghe, Xu Qinghe still had a lot of injuries on his body, as did Liu Xiulan's. It was hard for them to weaken their vigor, but after seeing Xu Ziqiao, they seemed to have become their great confidence again.
"Xu Ziqiao! This is what your officials have done. Look at how they beat us up? We are the family members of officials, how dare you treat us like this! Let me tell you about this, it's not easy!" Liu Xiulan That mouth didn't stop.
Lin Huiru felt her ears hurt when she heard her nonsense. It's been a long time since they saw each other. These two people are still so self-righteous. Now Xu Ziqiao is not as easy to handle as before, but he really has no vision at all.
As Lin Huiru thought, Xu Ziqiao just stood there with his hands behind his back, and there was a thick prison door between them.
Jiang Sheng frowned at the side, looking at the situation, the relationship between these two people and Xu Ziqiao should be confirmed, but this attitude is really intolerable, "Master Xu, the state-owned state-law family has family rules, this..."
"What's your business with our family!" Liu Xiulan continued to raise her voice.
"Mr. Liu, I would like to call you sister-in-law because of the kindness of my adoptive parents. My eldest brother treated me well when I was young, but there is something that you don't know about my elder brother. The death of my parents is inseparable from Mrs. Liu." Xu Ziqiao's eyes became sharp, and Jiang Sheng took people out when he saw this.
Lin Huiru's heart skipped a beat when she heard it. Could it be that Xu Ziqiao discovered something else?
When Xu Qinghe heard it, he became more energetic, but Liu Xiulan still had the spirit to yell, "Xu Ziqiao, what do you mean? If you become a high-ranking official, you will turn your face and deny anyone! I have to let everyone in the world know what it means." White-eyed wolf, let me tell you, if we hadn't given you a bite of food, you would have starved to death long ago, where would you be today!? An elder brother is like a father! Parents are dead, and you have to repay the unrepayable kindness to us Body!"
She said so many nonsense theories, Xu Ziqiao didn't respond, just looked at Xu Qinghe, "Brother, when my parents were sick, it was actually not a serious illness, as long as I took medicine to take care of it..."
Speaking of this, Liu Xiulan seemed to have been poked into a sore spot, screaming and trying to gag Xu Ziqiao, "Laugh out loud! Don't think that you can slander people here after becoming an official!" Seeing that the fingernails were almost
scratched Xu Ziqiao, Lin Huiru couldn't stand it anymore, she threw the teacup given by Jing Zhaoyin into it, and sneered, "Liu Shi, you'd better be quiet, who you are now is not up to you Yes, what I said before may still scare you, but now, I want your life, that is, if you want to do something here again, I can send someone to tie you up and gag you. At that time, you will have no chance to quibble."
Xu Ziqiao nodded beside her, and Liu Xiulan's face turned pale with fright. Xu Ziqiao has changed, she is no longer the easy-to-handle frail scholar, let alone a high-ranking official, even a small county magistrate, it is easy to kill her.
"Don't try to scare me with your official position!" Liu Xiulan's lips were still trembling, but the next moment it was Xu Qinghe who greeted her with a big mouth.
Now that Xu Ziqiao didn't say anything, Liu Xiulan was anxious to squeak and yell to make people feel guilty. Xu Qinghe was not a fool, so he gave Liu Xiulan a look, "Shut your mouth." Xu Ziqiao looked at the person in front of her
. In one scene, a faint smile appeared on the corners of the lips, "Brother, if you had this courage earlier, your parents and the others should not have died.
" The face was ugly, "What do you mean?"
"The money I copied the book was enough to cure the illness of my parents back then, but the money was taken by Mrs. Liu, and she went to get the medicine. Look at her face Well taken care of, how cold behind the scenes, you didn't see the cold food delivered. My parents didn't let me say, I think you and Liu have a good relationship. But then I met the doctor from back then, and I found out after chatting She used one-fifth of the medicine money to buy other people's medicine dregs. It's cheap, but the medicine's effect is not enough, and the medicine's power is even mixed, which aggravates their condition. If you don't believe it, you can Go back and ask the doctor. I have already left, and I just want to maintain your relationship according to their wishes, but Mrs. Liu is not satisfied, and being with such a woman will hurt you sooner or later." Xu Ziqiao glanced Liu Shi, who shook his head again and again, had a sarcastic smile on his lips.
Birth kindness is not as important as nurturing kindness. He originally wanted to be filial to his adoptive parents, but because of the intention of his adoptive parents, he didn't say anything, but Liu's overreaching was unbearable.
After Xu Qinghe heard this, his face became pale, and he went to pull Liu's collar and questioned over and over again if it was true. ââEven
if Liu Xiulan denied it, Lin Huiru would interject, "Ask the doctor at the time and you will know, but you are sophistrying now, are you afraid that you will be murdered at night?"
Full of shock, the pain in my heart is even more indescribable.
"I've finished talking about this secret. What about you guys, why did you come to the capital to find me? Are you here?" Xu Ziqiao remained calm.
Xu Qinghe sobbed softly and couldn't speak, Liu Xiulan was also stunned, she thought that this matter would not be found out until she died, but she didn't expect that the blessing didn't come true, and she rushed to slap her , all the dreams were all wasted.
Chapter 425
Seeing that they were silent, Xu Ziqiao paused, "Apart from this, it seems that there is nothing wrong. After all these years, although my adoptive parents have spent a lot of money for me to go to school, I haven't had time to repay them, but the money is so expensive. Over the years, my brother and your family have not been missing. I have copied dozens of books, and those broken pens and oil lamps are proof. Isn't the money you have received over the years not enough? Or Said, all these were taken by Mrs. Liu alone?"
Xu Ziqiao turned around with a sarcasm smile on his face, this family has taught him what it means to be kind and be bullied, "But you don't know Well, I still want to blog. No matter what, you have always been good to me, brother, so I also thought that I should give you a big gift during the Chinese New Year. I have done my best. I will find a carriage to take you back Yes, but please, please don't make trouble for me."
After finishing speaking, Xu Ziqiao left, and Lin Huiru followed behind silently. Just by looking at Xu Ziqiao's appearance, he knew that he must be in an extremely bad mood.
Once back to the mansion, Lin Huiru's face also pulled down.
Lin Yaoyao was wearing the clothes that Xu Ziqiao had made for her. Somehow, it fell on her. When Yulian saw Lin Huiru, she wanted to cry, "Madam, you are back." "What's going on?
" Lin Huiru frowned and looked at the jumping figure, feeling displeased for a while, and she was not stingy, but she was very angry that her things were taken away without saying hello.
"Ma'am, I can't help this servant. She ruined your box of lip balm and rubbed it on your clothes, clamoring for a change. Sister Baishu went out to buy it, but she insisted that she was about the same size as you, so she chose to buy it." One thing, the servants can't stop..." Yulian was about to cry as she spoke.
Lin Huiru's temples twitched several times, and Xu Ziqiao's mood became worse, "Let her take it off, and I don't want that dress anymore, and send someone to make a few new ones. Don't let her in our yard." Go in, unless she wants to leave here early." After speaking, Xu Ziqiao also went back to the study, the door was closed tightly and she didn't know what she was doing.
This was also the first time Yulian saw Xu Ziqiao angry, and she became even more flustered.
Lin Huiru sighed, "Okay, you go and do your work, and send someone to guard the yard in the future, don't let her walk around." There are many valuable things in her place that Lin Yaoyao can't touch, more It was Xu Ziqiao who gave it to her.
Yulian left as if she had been pardoned, and Lin Yaoyao was still familiar with her self-righteous future home, Lin Huiru walked behind her, "Who told you to wear my clothes." The sudden sound scared Lin
Yaoyao After a jump, she turned around hastily, "Sister, my clothes got dirty accidentally, and I thought I might embarrass my sister by wearing them, so I changed them.
" , this girl even secretly used the cosmetics on her table, and even pinned a few of her hairpins on her hair. Although the makeup was nondescript, she already knew what Lin Yaoyao wanted to do.
"There are only four words for cosmetics and jewelry on you. Do you know what they are?" Lin Huiru asked with a smile.
Lin Yaoyao's heart was thumping. Just now when she looked in the mirror, she felt that she was extremely beautiful, "I...have little knowledge, let me tell you, sister."
Seeing her expectant look, Lin Huiru's face became more beautiful. A bit sarcasm, "No fish or fish."
Originally, Lin Yaoyao was expecting praise, but Lin Huiru's words made her blush, "Sister, how can you say that about me? I used your things, don't you?" Are you happy, then you can just say it, why humiliate me like this."
"You haven't read the book, I can understand that you don't know if you don't ask yourself, you're considered a thief, don't keep talking about sisters and sisters here, we are the first Blood relationship, the second is not the relationship that sisters should have. It is my greatest tolerance to promise to find you a job. You better recognize yourself. These things can be given to you, but you should not wear them I'm ostentatious in front of me. At the end of the new year, there will probably be some people who come to walk around. The nondescript appearance will only embarrass the Xiangfu. Let's just stay in the inn for a few days, and I will find you a job in a short time. Now, go and get this clothes Take it off." Lin Huiru left after speaking, but what she didn't expect was that Princess Anning came right after.
"Small sister!" Princess Anning felt comfortable coming here, even more comfortable than her own mansion.
"Why did you come here without saying hello? I didn't do a good job." Lin Huiru stepped forward to greet her, and said helplessly.
"It's okay. Anyway, at the end of the year, my husband is going home to celebrate the New Year. Father, don't worry that I'm here with you. I'll be fine even if I live with you. It's up to you to do it first." Princess Anning held Lin Huiru's arm arm, grinning cheerfully.
Lin Huiru was very helpless, but subconsciously she was like a sister to Princess Anning, "Okay, then tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you." "I won't bother you today, I heard there
is The two of you insisted on mistaking your relationship. I was afraid that you would be upset, so I came here to talk to you. Also, my father rewarded me with a lot of gold, jade and jewels. I'm shopping for jade, and I'm here to give it to you." Then, Princess An Ning waved her hand, and the maid who accompanied her opened the box, and inside was a set of pink jade noodles. You can tell by the luster that it's worth a lot .
She was reluctant to bring this thing back and forth in the space.
"Then I'll accept it, and treat it as your food expenses. That matter has been settled, and it's nothing. I didn't expect to alarm you." Lin Huiru was a little helpless.
Princess An Ning curled her lips, "You are stingy, I am concerned about you, and I heard that there is a new woman in your mansion?" "
Did you bribe someone in my mansion, why do you know everything?" Lin Huiru's eyelids twitched, "That's my younger sister, but it's okay."
"Your sister?" Princess Anning was taken aback, and suddenly remembered the younger sister Lin Huiru mentioned when they were chatting. , "Could it be the one you said, the one who united with others to make things difficult for you?"
Lin Huiru nodded helplessly, "It's her."
Hearing Princess Anning's chivalrous blood welled up , she rolled up her sleeves, "Where is it, I will teach her how to respect the elders for you."
"Don't get excited, it's not as serious as you think." Lin Huiru pressed Princess Anning's arm down, "Don't get excited, it's winter, be careful not to catch a cold, let me tell you slowly."
Chapter 426
After hearing what happened, Princess Anning had already gone to the house to drink warm tea, "So, you are so kind to ââstay?" I'm too lazy to deal with her, just prevaricate." Lin Huiru frowned slightly as she drank tea. Princess An Ning ordered to drink milk tea, but she felt a little nauseous after drinking it.
Speaking of this, Princess Anning became interested, "Then why don't you hand her over to me, and I will teach this little girl a lesson for you. You must know that the teaching nuns in my mansion are all substitutes in the palace. She came down, and the previous nanny, now even the aunt next to the mother's mother will have trembling legs when she sees her."
Lin Huiru frowned, "This girl has a vicious mind, if she hurts you, I may not know tomorrow. His Majesty just cut her body into pieces."
"No, don't worry, I let her go to my place to get an education, how could I let her serve me, and this kind of woman has the most vicious thoughts, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat by my side , sent to do some of the following things, if she wants to settle in the capital, she has to be a little bit capable, or if she wants to use you, she can use you?" Princess An Ning simply acted coquettishly, she really wanted to teach Lin Huiru a lesson Take a look at this ignorant sister.
Only now Lin Huiru nodded, letting Lin Yaoyao know the hard work in the capital, "Okay, then I will send someone to take it to you later, but you have to inform the people in your house of her identity, don't tell me I'm looking for work."
"Don't worry, when did I not do what you ordered?" Princess An Ning showed two dimples and smiled, "But in this way, do you owe me a favor again and send someone over there?" I want to eat puffs and cookies..."
"Stop." Lin Huiru hurriedly interrupted her, "Just go to my store to get whatever you want, if you want I do this myself, do you want to exhaust me?"
Princess Anning pouted, "Isn't it just a few small snacks, cheapskate."
This made Lin Huiru dumbfounded, "Small snacks, right? You and Here I am, I'll show you how troublesome these things are."
Lin Huiru pressed Princess Anning to learn baking from her for an hour and a half. When she came out, Princess Anning's limbs were soft, "Oh my God, are you so tired? It's said that every painstaking effort pays off, no wonder these The food is so delicious, it's too tiring, I'd better go to your shop to get it, otherwise Master Xu might think of a way to deal with me if you get tired." "It's not that exaggerated, but it's true that you're tired
. "Lin Huiru is also the first and the second big. There is no cooking machine and egg beater these days, and her unicorn arm can't stand it.
Fortunately, she also found a way to get her master to make an egg beater that can be used. Although it still requires manpower, it saves a lot of effort. With the increasing demand for dessert ingredients, she also opened an egg beater in the capital. a small factory.
Just when the two of them were walking outside talking and laughing, they saw Lin Yaoyao was still wearing the same clothes, stopping Xu Ziqiao from saying something.
Princess An Ning suddenly became angry, pulled Lin Huiru and walked over, "I think this girl is more sloppy than you said.
" Can't you wear nice dresses?" Lin Yaoyao's pitiful appearance can only be described as pretentious.
During this period of time, Xu Ziqiao has seen countless women, and this method is like a joke in his eyes. What's more, Lin Huiru's clothes are not his own. For such a woman, he felt even more upset.
"This is Xiaoru's clothes and her things, please take them off." Xu Ziqiao's attitude was cold, and he was disgusted by that big painted face.
Lin Yaoyao immediately burst into tears of grievance, at this time Princess An Ning also came, she sneered and said in a strange tone, "Hey, Master Xu, the servants who are doing things are not good enough, why are you picking all kinds of things from the house? Well, I think it's enough for Madam to have Yulian and Baishu to serve her."
"You!" Lin Yaoyao stomped her feet without thinking much about it.
But the servant girl in the Princess Mansion is not a vegetarian, she just slapped her to teach her how to behave, "How courageous! How dare you be rude to the princess! What are you, why don't you kneel down!"
Lin Yaoyao covered her face in pain and couldn't tell, just about to reveal her identity, she got another slap in the face.
"Okay, this is Miss Xiaoru's place, so don't be pretentious here. But the atmosphere here is harmonious like a family, how can you educate a good slave? The mansion is very boring, and it should be a long time since I brought a maidservant, so take her back to relieve the boredom of Madam Zhou, it just so happens that there are still a few girls in our mansion, right? Sister Xiaoru, I just took her away Ah." Princess An Ning said that it was only a matter of time before Lin Huiru sent someone to send her off, and Lin Yaoyao was taken away by the maid directly with Princess An Ning.
At the end, Princess Anning winked at Lin Huiru.
Xu Ziqiao was also a little dumbfounded, "Princess is pure in nature, what did you say
when you targeted a person like this?" "I didn't, I just said that I don't know where to send her. Let her go, there are all people from the palace, so it's not wrong to teach her well, she doesn't want to stay in the capital." Lin Huiru spread her hands and shrugged, The world is much cleaner.
Lin Yaoyao panicked as soon as she arrived at the princess mansion, the person she disrespected just now was the princess, you must know that this princess is the only one, and His Majesty holds it in his palm.
Now that Lin Huiru has not accepted her yet, how can she have the confidence to play tricks in front of Princess Anning? Lin Yaoyao also has the advantage of being able to see the current situation clearly. She is planning to admit her mistake to Princess Anning when she arrives at the Princess Mansion, and throw it However, what she didn't expect was that as soon as Princess An Ning brought her back to the Princess Mansion, she directly ordered someone to lock her up.
At the same time, Princess Anning summoned three nuns in the mansion. These three nuns are all old nuns in the palace. They were all handpicked by Qian Yuan to take care of Princess Anning. They all taught a princess of peace.
"I brought back a girl today. I brought it back from Xiaoru's sister. This girl is her younger sister, but this girl is the kind who likes to bully people. She has caused trouble for Xiaoru and even This time I still want to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for relations. Today I saw with my own eyes that this girl can be so shameless as to pretend to be pitiful in front of Mr. Xu. Miss Xiao Ru treats me so well at ordinary times, so please do me a favor at this time After finishing her training, send her back." After Princess Anning finished speaking, the three nuns also understood, not to mention that Princess Anning liked Lin Huiru, the three nuns also liked it very much.
Thanks to Lin Huiru, they don't have to worry about looking for Princess Anning who ran away.
Chapter 427
The nanny understood Princess Anning's intentions, bowed together and went down. Lin Yaoyao's last life-saving straw was gone, and what awaited her was purgatory on earth.
"This is the new servant girl? This dress looks like every servant girl, so I'll pick it up for her." Nanny Li used to be one of the most ruthless servants in the palace, and she had to peel off all the servants she didn't care about.
The firewood room was originally dark, Lin Yaoyao blocked her face, before she could clearly see who was coming, she was held down by several people and began to remove her clothes.
She struggled and screamed, "You can't do this to me! I'm the prime minister's wife's sister!
" , Mrs. Xiang can't wear it anymore, let's go pay a gift, but you have to remember the rules of the Princess Mansion! Otherwise, what's waiting for you...but this!" Shaking out a whip, with a gust of wind it blew the air beside Lin Yaoyao, frightening her into a shiver, and she burst into tears.
"Woooooo...I didn't come here to be a maid, I want to go home...I want to go home..." But she didn't dare cry like that, the mothers in the palace are all hard-hearted.
Mother Wu looked at it and sneered, "You want to go home after being a slave? Dreaming, give me a slap in the face. By the way, teach her the rules of the princess mansion. If you don't remember it after the beating, just keep beating."
" Yes." The people next to him agreed, and when the door of the firewood room was closed, there was a dark hell inside.
Just as Princess Anning said, Lin Yaoyao was brought into the hands of a few old mothers, and she was educated to be submissive within a few days, so running around in the Princess Mansion can be regarded as neat.
Earlier, Lin Huiru wrote a letter to the Lin family, and put some money in it by the way. For nothing else, she entered the princess's mansion as a slave, and she also got a wage.
Lin Dashan and Zhou Pandi knew that it was too late for Lin Yaoyao to be happy to enter the princess mansion, so they didn't ask anything, and happily returned a thank you letter to Lin Huiru after collecting the money.
Princess An Ning came to Lin Huiru to report Lin Yaoyao's performance in the past two days, just in time to see her crying and laughing at the letter, "What are you looking at, you look so ugly.
" No matter what your daughter's situation is." Lin Huiru shrugged and put the letter aside, if Lin Yaoyao knew, she would probably be pissed to death.
"It's not that the whole family doesn't come in. Your younger sister is bullying and afraid of the hard. She dared to move you out in a day or two, but I've known everyone in my house. They only regarded her as a lunatic. In the end, she Seeing that it was useless, she gave birth to An Ning, in fact, it really hurts when Mammy beats someone." Princess An Ning took a big sip of milk tea to warm her stomach, and let out a sigh of relief.
Lin Huiru was a little helpless, and Princess Anning could be cured like this, "Thank you for your hard work, I was worried that she would cause trouble." "Don't worry, I am an
aunt besides my mother. You must be an obedient girl. By the way, it's the end of the year, and there are many delicious things on the street. Sister Xiaoru, why don't you go shopping with me?" Princess Anning said, and pulled Lin Hui Ru's hand, more like a coquettish meaning.
"No, I've been there a few days ago, and it's nothing interesting, but what I'm planning will be opened a few years ago, and you must like it too." Lin Huiru blinked, she didn't do anything else, She bought a small block in the capital and planned to transform it into a snack street.
She is so busy trying to taste the snacks that she has no time to go out at all.
When talking about new things, Princess Anning got excited, "What, what?" Sister Ru, what did you do? Let me see first. "
I couldn't bear Princess Anning's coquettishness here, Lin Huiru nodded, and took out the prepared architectural drawing, "Like this, I'm going to change a street into a shop, with only vendors selling snacks on both sides, and other things. Not for sale at all, as for what to sell here... I still have a lot of delicious food here. "
Nothing can make Princess Anning more excited than delicious food. She kept Lin Huiru excitedly, and repeated the old trick again, "What what? Let me taste it first, okay?"
Now Lin Huiru felt a little helpless. After all, it is easy to make, and the taste of some things needs to be adjusted. She may have to work around the clock for several days, "I want to, but they are still seasoning. If you are not afraid of getting fat , you can come and help me taste the taste."
Lin Huiru made a list of all the snacks she could think of and the existing materials can make, to ensure that there are no duplicates on the street. Similarly, this is also a big project.
However, if she can become famous in the capital, she won't have to worry about no one coming to join and study.
"Okay, okay, I'm not afraid, at most, I'll go out for a walk more often, I'm greedy just looking at so many dishes, I've decided, Master Xu is also entrusted with official duties, so today I will accompany Miss Xiaoru The meal is ready, or we can try it today." Princess An Ning blinked her eyes, eager to eat something in her mouth.
Lin Huiru nodded, there is no need to delay the matter, and there is not much time left. She has at most less than half a month to tidy up everything. This is a huge project, but fortunately she is not an idiot for cooking .
The first thing she tried was octopus balls. There is no such thing as bonito flakes at the moment, and it is too expensive to exchange from space, so she directly used squid shreds instead. Fortunately, the capital is only a few meters away from the sea. a city.
Although it is not troublesome to make octopus balls, it is a technical job. While doing it, Lin Huiru hired an experienced cook to learn by her side. As soon as she learned it, she immediately changed to the next one. , but they are all future stall owners.
Pour the batter, put the ingredients, and turn it into a circle. In fact, it is just a technical job, and the cook is quick to get started. After a few failures, the taste began to catch the eyes of all three.
"That's the taste!" Lin Huiru wiped the sauce from her mouth, and drank saliva to rinse her mouth contentedly.
Princess Anning has already begun to disregard her image. Judging by her posture, she intends to eat this until she is full. "These octopus balls are too delicious. I didn't say that this thing will definitely make people smash their heads." ."
"Of course I have confidence in my craft." Lin Huiru curled her lips proudly, and ordered the cook to go down to practice.
At this speed, it is no problem to complete three or four menus a day. Although it can't compare with those top-quality flavors, in this era, it is already delicious in the world.
Chapter 428: Hard work pays off
In the next few days, Xu Ziqiao was busy, Lin Huiru and Princess Anning were also busy, one hand was busy, the other was busy with the mouth, for several days, Princess Anning ate in different ways, and it really looked a lot rounder.
"Sister Xiaoru, I'm here, what shall we eat today?" Princess Anning has surprises every day, each of these snacks has a different taste, no matter how much you eat, you will never get tired of eating them.
Lin Huiru dragged her chin and looked at the long list of menus. Now there are very few left, but there are so many Chinese delicacies, and she chose these. At this time, she can not waste too much.
"Today, let's try fried chicken chops, chicken wings with rice, and pizza." Lin Huiru clapped her hands and stood up. She was tired from doing things these days and her back hurts. Now, if there are still some troubles, let's wait until the next year. My idea, I am afraid that it will not be repeated even if it is opened all over the capital." At
this moment, Princess Anning is transformed into Lin Huiru's little fan girl, her eyes are full of admiration, " Good! Mammy said that I gained a lot of weight in the past two days, and if I eat it, I'm afraid it will force me to lose weight." "
You were thin before, and you look good if you eat a little more, but now it's almost the same." Lin Huiru He looked up and down at Princess Anning, and praised.
Princess Anning twitched embarrassedly, "How is it possible, sister Xiaoru, you are thinner than me, but I haven't seen you getting fat these days."
Lin Huiru was also very helpless about this, she couldn't help it even if she wasn't fat.
This dish was almost finished, and the snack street was almost cleaned up. It happened that Lin Huiru and Princess Anning went there to digest food together.
The shops on the street are all about the same size, and now they have all been cleaned up according to Lin Huiru's wishes. The outside is still sealed, but it has also attracted many people to stop and be curious.
Lin Huiru also put up a signboard for investment promotion. Maybe it was because the rent was a bit high, so not many people were willing to come, and those who came were from restaurants with some economic foundations, which did not meet her requirements for snacks.
But Lin Huiru is not in a hurry, some modern things alone can take up more than half of this street, and she doesn't worry about the booming business in the future, and others won't take the lead.
In order to expand the business, Lin Huiru also sold the back street, but it has not been moved yet.
At this moment, everything is ready and only owes the east wind.
"Miss Xiaoru, you are my role model. I really admire you so much. The decoration here makes me want to stay a little longer." Princess Anning curiously touched the furnishings everywhere, having never seen the world before. The appearance is very cute.
Lin Huiru snickered, "Stop praising me, I'll see if I can prepare something now, and if there's nothing wrong with checking the sewer, let's try the dishes. , I have to earn back the rent here."
As Lin Huiru said, touching her wallet with heartache, the prices in the capital are not ordinary, and before she had time to get a loan, this place cost her a lot of money .
"I praise you from the bottom of my heart. I have never admired my royal father so much. Little sister, my love for you can be learned from heaven and earth." Princess Anning said pretentiously, and the two laughed again in the street There was another mess.
It just so happened that the mother-in-law of the Princess Mansion took Lin Yaoyao out to buy things and saw this scene, but she bit Lin Yaoyao's teeth.
She knew how a princess would target her inexplicably, and it was really Lin Huiru, that bitch who was making trouble, and she couldn't bear it! "
What are you looking at, you don't have to eat if you delay the time." With a glance, he walked very fast in front.
Lin Yaoyao reluctantly followed, although the rules were a bit more, but the Princess Mansion is a Princess Mansion after all, even if the servants eat, it is better than what they usually eat.
She knew that Lin Huiru would never stop her if she quit her job, but she was not willing to give up the life of luxury and money in the capital.
She firmly believes that Lin Huiru can thrive in the capital, except for a man, she is no worse than Lin Huiru!
By accident, Lin Yaoyao got the news that Princess Anning likes to eat sweets. She had learned how to make cakes from Ge Lan's family before, and the dim sum of Ge Lan's family was also one of the best in the town, so she wouldn't be far behind. go.
Thinking of this, Lin Yaoyao secretly ran to the kitchen to make a portion, and when she was walking happily on the way to Princess Anning's room, she was stopped by the nanny, "Where are you going with these things?"
"If you go back to Nanny, this is the dessert for the princess today." Lin Yaoyao saluted without the courage to raise her head.
Nanny Zhou frowned, "This is not the style in Mrs. Lin's shop, who asked you to send these over?"
Lin Yaoyao didn't dare to move, so she could only answer with her head down, "In answer to Nanny, this is a servant girl The famous dim sum in my hometown has been learned by servants before, so I want the princess to try it too."
Hearing what she said, Madam Zhou sneered, she took a bite of an unattractive sugar cake, and vomited as soon as she took it in. , "Sweet and greasy, what rotten things dare to be given to the princess?! The dog in the backyard will not eat it! I changed the princess's recipe without permission. This recipe was ordered by His Majesty. Come here, drag it down and beat it!" "
The dream of currying favor with Princess An Ning has just come to naught. Lin Yaoyao trembled in fright, and the snacks on the plate fell to pieces. She panicked and wanted to intercede for herself, but where is this place? She should speak louder, Mammy I was afraid that she would disturb the princess to rest.
When she was beaten, Lin Yaoyao had a piece of dirty cloth stuffed into her mouth, and the aunt in charge of the punishment was also experienced, even she had to nod and bow when she saw the three nuns.
She could also see Lin Yaoyao's overthinking, she was sitting on a stool not far from Lin Yaoyao, squinting her eyes and listening to the sound of the stick hitting the flesh.
"Little girl, I advise you to recognize the reality. You used to match the prime minister's wife and sister, so what? Yes. Although Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu's backgrounds are not good, but I heard that they were all adopted in the village, and the temperament in the bones of the big family cannot be changed. Look at them and look at your clumsy appearance. You are a joke if you want to take the position here."
The pain in her body and the verbal ridicule made Lin Yaoyao's face from crying all over.
"They are immortals in the sky, and you are the mud on the ground. What's more, this is a way of dealing with people. It's a courtesy. I heard that you used to be adopted by your wife's family, but you used to be a domineering one. Now look at others. I just picked it up, I see a lot of you as a scumbag." The aunt laughed and sneered, those who are in high places just can't understand this kind of scumbag.
Chapter 429: Dreaming
"However, a person like you is lucky to be a rough woman in the village. Otherwise, if you work in the palace, you don't even think about getting in whole." Although the aunt was younger than the mother, she never Those who come out of the palace are all human beings.
Whoever is thinking about it can be seen at a glance.
Lin Yaoyao didn't even have the strength to defend herself after being beaten, and she became angry from embarrassment, and she planted the hatred of everyone's taunting her on Lin Huiru, which made Lin Huiru, who was supervising the work, couldn't help but sneezed twice.
Today is a young year, Xu Ziqiao is completely free, and is accompanying Lin Huiru in the snack street to watch the workers go to the memorial archway. When Lin Huiru sneezes, Xu Ziqiao hastened to cover her tightly again, "How about You go back first, I'll just watch here."
"It's okay, actually there's nothing important, I've read it in advance, but what needs to be noted is that I'm too hated now, so I have to make sure everything is safe. , especially the details, we can't delay the opening tomorrow." Lin Huiru pinched her nose and kept an extra thought.
She doesn't want to share a share of the pie with some old oily people, so at this time, she has to guard against those who are interested.
"Okay, then we'll go back in half an hour. Today is the new year. You said you want to make dumplings together. Baishu and the others have prepared the stuffing and dough and are waiting at home." Xu Ziqiao pulled Lin Huiru into his arms and pointed Consciously or unintentionally, he stroked the white velvet on the collar.
As Xu Ziqiao said, not only the things are ready, but also the top and bottom are cleaned spotlessly. There are not many people in the mansion, and this should be the busiest time of the year.
After the great cold, it gets colder every day, and there will be some snow every now and then, but it won't melt. Lin Huiru liked to watch the snow, so Xu Ziqiao specially ordered people not to clean the yard.
Today there are sporadic snowflakes, coupled with the red lanterns and couplets, it has a very Chinese New Year atmosphere.
Qi Hehua and Lin Qing came to the door. As soon as this person left the village, his temperament changed. The clothes he wore were clean and energetic. Now he looked like an elder from a wealthy family.
Zhou Man'er and Zhao Di are also here today. It's not New Year's Eve, it's better than New Year's Eve. After all, when it's New Year's Eve, Lin Huiru and Xu Ziqiao will go to the palace to attend the palace banquet, and they can't have the New Year's Eve dinner together .
"Zhaodi has grown taller again, how about the private school in the capital?" In order to cultivate Zhaodi, a smart girl, Lin Huiru specially spent a lot of money to send her to a private school in the capital.
But it is not a well-known private school. Some officials and aristocratic families gang up to bully the weak, and they can't learn well.
"Sir and everyone are very good. Before the holiday, my husband praised me as the smartest kid in the school." Zhaodi replied obediently. Today, Qi Hehua put on a red jacket and braided her hair, looking lively And festive.
"That's good, the smartest child will be rewarded at the end of the year, and my sister will give you a big red envelope on the first day of the junior high school." As he spoke, Lin Huiru touched Zhaodi's head and looked up at Zhou Man'er, "How about it? Do you want to go home for the first time away?"
Zhou Man'er shook her head resolutely, "Miss Xiaoru, don't blame me, living with uncle and aunt is more comfortable than staying at home, and what is it called a home? Be well-behaved, during the holidays, this will not be allowed and that will not be allowed, and the generous second-bedroom is not only a comparison, but it is better to stay with you." "You just get used to it, I am afraid that
you will be homesick and cry secretly." Lin Huiru smiled She smiled, and then turned her head and took Qi Hehua's hand, "Mother, how do you think of the capital?"
Qi Hehua's face was filled with a happy smile, "It's better than crop land, even if I'm idle all day, I don't know what to do." Something, come spring, you can find something for me to do, embroidery is also fine!" "
Your mother can't be idle, and I have to dig the ground in the yard with me, the land is not enough for the two of us, I planted cabbage, which is crunchy and sweet, and I brought you some here." Lin Qing looked at his daughter, with tears in his eyes for some reason, afraid of embarrassment, and excused himself to go out for a walk.
This family got together, talking and laughing was lively, Bai Shu and Bai Qianyi were not helpless anymore, the New Year's Eve could be regarded as very happy.
While eating dumplings, Xu Ziqiao suddenly let out a crisp sound, which frightened the people sitting, only Lin Huiru smiled happily, "Congratulations, lucky star, this is what I put in more than a hundred dumplings." I wanted to put the only peanut in my house, but I didn't know how many people's hands were dirty with that thing, so I put the peanut in." Xu Ziqiao smiled helplessly, and swallowed the half-baked peanut, "You still want
to Now, I'm still curious about what you're doing sneakily with a dumpling."
"Xiao Ru, you're still missing three things, if your mother comes to make it, I'll give you red dates, peanuts, longan and melon seeds. Include it together, you will have a baby early, and your father and I will not have nothing to do at home all day." Qi Hehua smiled, leaving that gloomy place, the whole person became a lot more optimistic.
Lin Huiru was so teased that Lian's family became popular, so she hurriedly brushed off the topic, how old is she, and what happened to her.
In stark contrast, Xu Qinghe's family and Lin's eldest family were still on their way home.
At this point, Xu Qinghe was not willing to reconcile, but he really gave up the idea of ââeating Xu Ziqiao again. It is also thankful that Liu Xiulan was not abandoned, but I don't know how long he can live in peace.
Thanks to Lin Yaoyao's work, the Lin family had a warm year, and they would not be frozen to death in the cold wind.
However, when Lin Yaoyao ate dumplings with a group of servants from the Princess Mansion, she cried out of grievance.
She also wants to fly up the branches and become a phoenix, stretch out her hands to eat and open her mouth, but the gap between people is as big as the difference between humans and animals.
Seeing her crying, the maids of the princess mansion also got together to sneer, no one had seen Lin Yaoyao's attitude on the first day, none of them could like this girl.
"What's wrong with her?" But someone asked curiously.
Immediately, someone sneered and said, "If you don't have a noble life, you will also be sick. If you don't like me, you insist on coming to join your relatives. If you are a slave, you have to stay. When you enter the princess mansion, you will make a fool of yourself all day long, as if someone owes her money." Like silver."
"I can see that she has been so energetic when she first came here. If I become famous, I will be brilliant. Even if I have a relative, I won't want to raise her for nothing. This girl is just dreaming." Another person echoed. road.
"Oh, don't worry about her, the dumplings are getting cold, and the prime minister's wife has sent us a lot of good things. I heard that they are specially for us." Now they are all young maids, although They like gold, silver and jewelry, but they can't wear them while working at the master's house, and they are afraid of losing them. Some delicious delicacies are the best gifts for them.
Some people also nodded, "I see, they are some very novel snacks. The prime minister's wife is really kind. I heard that before the disaster relief, the wife secretly subsidized the money, and now she is helping people in business. How can such a good person It's just such a relative, if I want to, I'll be depressed to death."
Chapter 430 Borrowing Money
The servants' words were like knives, piercing Lin Yaoyao's heart one by one. If she had known that Lin Hui would be prosperous today, she would not have done that.
But there is no medicine for regret in the world. If she wants to escape the accusations of these people, she has to break out of her own world.
But how difficult it is, it's easy to say everything with just one mouth, but if you don't have the ability to actually implement it, you will become ridiculed.
...
The next day, Lin Huiru's snack street opened in a big way. Earlier than the first day, she sent people to distribute coupons everywhere. Who doesn't like these discounted things, and there was a scene of big crowds in the snack street.
Although this street is not long, there are many kinds of things on the street. Because it is Chinese New Year, people's consumption concept allows them to spend more money on their own. After going back and forth, more people taste things, and the people who are captured again are not just because of discounts. , but taste.
In the end, Lin Huiru put up the signboards of attracting investment and joining, and then just waited for the money to be delivered to the door.
This street became the so-called "Internet celebrity street" on the second day after it opened, and there are countless shops that come to squeeze their heads to settle in. At least, it has become the so-called place where some Huaichun girls can meet love.
Lin Huiru's name was once again a big noise in the capital, which was useless for many people.
But the more things she does, the more Lin Huiru feels like a salted fish. The only thing she can introduce from modern times is food that will not affect any technology. With fewer and fewer visits, she can only live empty-handedly with money in her arms.
well.
What Lin Huiru didn't expect was that because this snack street was so popular, it was the day when envoys from other countries came to the capital one after another, and the flow of people was even greater. Listening to the envoys' praise of the capital, Even if it was because of the food, Qianyuan was also happy in his heart, and when he was happy...he gave Lin Huiru a first-rank imperial order in advance.
Originally, this was the decree to be made next year.
Now Lin Huiru was even more depressed. She was lying lazily on the couch, and Princess Anning barged in without saying hello, "Oh, Miss Xiaoru, are you feeling unwell? Why are you lying here?"
Lin Huiru raised her eyelids lazily with her chin propped up, "I don't want to, but I have nothing to do, and I'm like a useless person now." "If you are a useless person, how many good people are there in the world, let me tell
you , your snack street is almost full of people, and there are still officers and soldiers restricting the crowd. The foreign envoys are full of praise and say that we are guaranteed to go shopping, but it is a pity that the mother will not let me join in the fun." Princess Anning pouted her buttocks Squeezed with Lin Huiru, and excitedly told Lin Huiru what she had seen and heard.
"If I'm right in that place, maybe there won't be any free time throughout the year." Lin Huiru was of course happy to hear that the business was good.
Princess Anning formed a stark contrast with her, and she was very excited, "There are also countless people who want to join Baishu, and there are even foreign envoys who want to bring them back. I guess one can join us today." Turn Bai Shu tired back into a puddle of mud." "
This is the job for her now, otherwise it seems that there is nothing to do at the end of the year, but I have asked her for advice, and it is not her master who treats her harshly." Lin Huiru said the same It's been a while since I discovered that Bai Shu has the ability to do business, so I can trust her to do things.
"Then let's go out for a walk while Miss Xiaoru is still free. There are jugglers on the street now, and it's very lively." Princess An Ning tugged at Lin Huiru's sleeve and shook her around dangling.
Lin Huiru waved her hands again and again, "Don't, there are too many people at this time, crowded, and you have to take so many people with you when you go out. Isn't it disturbing the people? I've been tired for several days. Rest more at home."
Princess An Ning thought about it, and then gave up the idea, "Then...for Lin Yaoyao, just give her half of the salary according to what you want, sister Xiaoru?" "Well, just tell her the other
half." It has already been sent back to her family to subsidize the family as she wished." Lin Huiru curled her lips, she wanted to know that Lin Yaoyao's excuse came true, and holding such a small amount of money would make her heart ache.
"You are so kind, I still want to find an excuse, if someone hits me when I am down, I will not spare her." Princess Anning said indignantly.
Lin Huiru smiled, "For me, this is called repaying grievances with virtue. Even if there is something unsatisfactory, she can't tell, right?"
As Lin Huiru said, when she got the money, she saw the five Lin Yaoyao was about to cry for two silver coins.
The salary at the Princess Mansion is 30 taels a month, and she only worked for about ten days, plus half of it was given to the family, so it is not wrong that she still has five taels of silver left.
Originally, these five taels of silver should be a huge sum of money for her, but here is the capital, so five taels of silver seems a bit insignificant.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the mansion has also given rotations. Seeing those who have worked less than her discuss how much money they have saved this year, and then look at the money in her hand, a strong sense of injustice suddenly floods into my heart.
The maids in the mansion go out together, and they can bring back a lot of things to share equally with each other, but they just don't have her share, and this is the first time they have left her, she was so angry that she burst into tears.
Finally, she was able to go out of the house to play, and thinking of giving it a try, she went to Lin Huiru's and wanted to borrow some money.
"Borrowing money? Don't say that I don't take care of you. It is said that the money will be paid out at the end of the month, and if it is less than one month, it will be kept until the next month. I specifically notified the other side to give you the money. Are you still not satisfied? "Lin Huiru raised his eyebrows. In the capital city, if you want to live a down-to-earth life, and your work includes food and housing, you can make do with five taels of silver a month.
This Lin Yaoyao's plan is still not giving up.
Lin Yaoyao lowered her head, and at this moment she absolutely dare not be right with Lin Huiruming, "The money was borrowed just before it was warmed up... I, I want to buy a new dress, but I don't know what to do." I'm shy, I'll pay my sister back next time I pay my wages."
"Sure, but who would borrow half of the tael, and how much do you plan to borrow?" Lin Huiru asked, sipping tea.
Seeing something interesting, Lin Yaoyao boldly stretched out five fingers, "Five taels are enough."
"Five taels, it's not too much. I won't ask you what to buy. Later, you can go to Bai Shu to sign and pledge, and agree on a deadline for repaying the money. If you don't pay it back, I'll go directly to the Princess Mansion to ask for it." When Lin Huiru said this, he was shocked.
