Chapter 82: Selling a Husband for Glory
"Childe, there is news about the person you are looking for. In the private room on the second floor, a man in black stood respectfully on the side to report.
The long figure sat motionless in front of the window, listening to the report of his subordinates, looking thoughtfully at the portrait on the table and waiting for the following.
The man in black looked up at him and continued, "Although it took some twists and turns, we are already on the way back to the city, and we can reach Dragon Cinema City in five days at most. β
"Got it. After getting his satisfactory answer, the man at the table responded lightly. Turning his head sideways, he stared out the window at the bustling streets. Suddenly, a familiar face in the crowd came into view, so different, so eye-catching, that in the crowded streets, his eyes caught her at a glance.
"Childe, Childe ......" The man in black didn't know why, so he screamed twice before he came back to his senses. The man frowned, and the moment he turned his head, the cold bottom of his eyes had become unfathomable.
Touching his cold gaze, the man in black felt like a cold light in his heart, unconsciously shrunk, lowered his head and said, "I don't know if I want to tell Miss about this matter?"
Looking back, he glanced at the people on the street, got up to avoid the position near the window, and then said coldly: "No need. β
When he went out, Lin Xiaoyu took Xiangqing and the two of them went shopping on the street, and they went to Biluoju without hurry. The good mood of going out was not affected by wanting to see Lin Qingyue, and unconsciously, the two of them were already standing in front of Biluoju's door.
"Childe, Bi Luoju has arrived. Xiangqing reminded.
Looking up, "Biluoju?" The owner of this restaurant is a very caring person! Admiring the sensational and gloomy name on the plaque, Lin Xiaoyou spontaneously felt a sympathetic mood. Pavilions and pavilions, carved railings and jade bricks, Biluoju looks brilliant and elegant as a whole. It's still early, and Biluoju at this time is already full of people coming and going. Lin Xiaoyou couldn't help but say: "Lin Qingyue is really good at picking places!"
Xiangqing smiled, "Of course, it belongs to the industry under the name of 'No. 1 Village in the World', Biluoju is the most famous restaurant in Dragon Studios, not to mention the external decoration, the craftsmanship of the restaurant alone is enough to be comparable to the imperial kitchen of the palace." Naturally, every diner who can come in and out of this place is either rich or expensive!"
didn't expect a restaurant to have such a background, Lin Xiaoyu's curiosity was suddenly aroused, and he asked suspiciously: "Oh, what is the first village in the world?"
Xiangqing shook her head, "I don't know the specifics, I just know that it is a very mysterious business, it has the strength to turn the rain in the business world, and the industries under its name are all over the country." Childe, if you look at the lower right corner of its plaque, there is a dagger engraved like the word 'one', which is the unique symbol of the first village. But if there is a dagger with the word 'one' on the plaque, then it is the property of the first village. β
"Xiangqing, I didn't expect you to know a lot. Following Xiangqing's words and looking again, Lin Xiaoyou really saw the dagger with the word 'one' as she said. The carved dagger is actually very delicate, but it is quite inconspicuous to hang it there as a 'one'. If you don't pay attention to it, you will ignore its existence, especially its restrained edge. can do such a successful business, and the people who think about coming behind the scenes are not ordinary people. After all, the so-called 'No. 1 in the world' is not something that anyone can bear, and behind the arrogance is strength.
Although the status of merchants has always been low, who can leave the food, clothing, shelter and transportation needed by commoners or magnates?
Listening to Lin Xiaoyu's praise, Xiangqing was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly defended: "I also heard a lot from others, son, let's go in!"
Lin Xiaoyou nodded, she hadn't forgotten the purpose of coming here, since she was about to come here, she really wanted to take a good look at what Lin Qingyue had prepared for her. "Let's go, Xiangqing, this princess will take you to eat the overlord meal today. β
Walking in, a shopkeeper immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Guest officer, please." "The people who are sent here are all rich and powerful, so the attitude of the shopkeeper is all respectful and polite.
Lin Xiaoyou smiled politely at him and followed him in. The overall layout of the interior is elegant and generous, giving people a very comfortable and clean feeling.
"The guest officer is very eye-catching, it must be the first time to come here. I don't know which floor the guest officer wants to go to?" The shopkeeper was very discerning, and he could see at a glance that Lin Xiaoyou was a newcomer, and his respectful words did not show the slightest flattery.
The inn is divided into three floors, the first floor is the guest of ordinary merchants, the second floor is the official eunuch and magnates, and the third floor is a luxurious independent private room. Each floor is divided into five levels: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and different rooms have different styles. As the most luxurious restaurant in Dragon Studios, the worst room in it is also comparable to the home of the four-grade eunuch.
Lin Xiaoyou's eyes swept over, the hall was crowded, and it was impossible for Lin Qingyue to be outside. couldn't help coughing, pretending to be a deep voice and asking, "Do you know which room Miss Lin Qingyue is in?"
"Oh, Miss Lin confessed, she is in the No. 1 room on the third floor, please be here. Xiao Er made a gesture of invitation and led them to the third floor.
Listening to the tone, it seems that Lin Qingyue is a frequent customer here! Just a sentence from the shopkeeper, Lin Xiaoyou has already found out the relationship between them. She may not have known about it before, but since she read the list of Lin Mansion's industries, she is now very clear about the hidden strength of Lin Mansion. It is not difficult to understand why Lin Qingyue, who has been pampered since childhood, has the courage to become a guest here.
The maid who waited at the door saw Lin Xiaoyou coming upstairs, saluted respectfully, and opened the door. Before she walked in, Lin Qingyue, who could hear the movement, had already greeted her politely, she was dressed in a water-green long dress, dressed up as coquettishly as before. Lin Xiaoyou, who was dressed as a man outside the door, was stunned, and then smiled generously: "My sister is here, come in." As he spoke, he reached out his hand and prepared to take Lin Xiaoyu.
Sister, Lin Xiaoyu's beautiful eyes suddenly sparkled, and without a trace, she avoided Lin Qingyue's friendly hand and entered the house by herself.
is obviously a woman dressed as a man, but the white clothes set off Lin Xiaoyu's light and dusty temperament is becoming more and more handsome. Men's clothes are still so unsightly, let alone changing into women's clothes, the more Lin Qingyue looks at it, the more resentful and unwilling she becomes. However, now is not the time for her to lose her temper. Secretly alerting herself, Lin Qingyue showed a smile again and beckoned Lin Xiaoyou to sit down.
Xiangqing followed behind, and was about to enter, but was grabbed by Lin Qingyue's maid at the door. I couldn't help but turn around and said sharply, "What are you doing here?"
"The purse my sister is wearing is so good-looking, and at first glance, my sister is a person who is proficient in the ingenuity of female celebrities, and Huanhuan wants to ask my sister to teach me. "Huanhuan is a maid cultivated by the Wu family, because Lin Qingyue went out and was slapped before, the maid and grandmother were not careful to protect the master, and they were all executed by the Wu family. So after that, he sent her to Lin Qingyue's side. At this time, she pulled Xiangqing, and her eyes swept over the purse on Xiangqing's body from time to time, smiling almost widely.
came to her for no reason, and she must not be at ease. Huanhuan's kind smiling face only felt disgusted in Xiangqing's eyes, almost undressed, but made Xiangqing a little vigilant. She's not a fool, trying to attract her attention to the calculating princess, there is no door. Xiangqing ripped off the purse on her body and handed it to Huanhuan, "If you like it, I'll give it to you." β
She just wanted to distract Xiangqing, but she didn't expect Xiangqing to give her things directly. Huanhuan was stunned for a while, hesitating and not knowing whether to pick it up or not.
Dead girl, she can't even get a maid, Lin Qingyue looked at this scene, glared at Huanhuan viciously, and said to Lin Xiaoyou with a side smile: "Sister, our sisters talk about the old days, so we don't need a maid to serve." β
"Okay, Xiangqing, you're waiting outside the door. Lin Xiaoyou said and gave her a reassuring look.
Xiangqing looked at her worriedly, and had to give up, "Yes." β
Since this is a place to eat, how can you do it without ordering. Lin Xiaoyou picked up the menu on the table and flipped it up at random.
"My sister likes to eat whatever she likes, and today my sister is the east, so you're welcome. Lin Qingyue smiled confidently and looked bold.
Lin Xiaoyou snorted coldly in her heart, she didn't plan to be polite today. You're rich, aren't you? You're generous, aren't you? The heartache is still to come. sighed lightly and said pretendedly: "Speaking of which, I really feel hungry, since Miss Lin is the east, then I'm welcome." As he spoke, he greeted the shopkeeper next to him and handed him the menu, "Tell me to go down, just follow the dishes on this menu, and bring me all the dishes that don't fall." By the way, here are two jars of your best aged wine. β
When the words fell, the faces of the two people next to them suddenly changed greatly, Lin Qingyue was frightened, and the shopkeeper was shocked. You must know that as the most luxurious restaurant in the Dragon Shadow Country, the things inside will naturally not be cheap. What's more, there are more than 100 kinds of rare dishes on the menu, not to mention that after the whole room is full, whether the two of them can finish it, just the silver is also tens of thousands of taels.
Lin Xiaoyu, a slut, is clearly calculating her. Lin Qingyue's hands under the table were clenched into fists, thinking that in less than a quarter of an hour, the tens of thousands of taels of white silver were squandered by Lin Xiaoyou, and she was angry and regretful. But the Haikou that she boasted about couldn't take back what she said, she knew that she was going to come like this, and she should have come to order the food herself.
"What are you doing in a daze, do you want to do business?" Lin Xiaoyou drank tea by himself, and reminded the stunned shopkeeper by the way, as if he didn't notice the strange looks of the two at all.
"Yes, yes, the villain will arrange it immediately. After returning to his senses, he realized that Lin Xiaoyou was not joking. glanced at Lin Qingyue's dark face, and after saluting, he retreated like a fly to make arrangements.
"Wait a minute. The front foot was just about to step out of the door, but Lin Xiaoyu's voice behind him stopped him again. Turning back, he respectfully asked, "What else does Childe command?"
Seeing that Lin Xiaoyou suddenly called the second child in the store, Lin Qingyue's ugly expression flashed a little flustered, and she couldn't help but scold: Slut, I'm not satisfied after ordering so many dishes, what do you want this time?
"It suddenly occurred to me that it would be too exaggerated for the two of us to order so many things at once. Miss Lin, what do you think?" Lin Xiaoyou held his head with his hands, and his expression seemed to be difficult to choose.
Lin Qingyue's eyes flashed unnaturally, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, since she gave up the initiative, it wasn't so bad. Trying to pull out a stiff smile, he said carefully: "It's good that my sister likes it, but the two of us really can't eat that much." β
Lin Xiaoyou nodded thoughtfully, "Reasonable." Just when the shopkeeper thought that the business was in vain and was faintly disappointed, Lin Xiaoyou raised a smile and said: "Then just like that, bring up your signature dishes here, and send the rest to the other diners in the restaurant, until supplies last." Let's just say that meeting is fate, Miss Lin has a treat today. In this way, there will be no extravagance and waste, what does Miss Lin think?" Obviously he had already made a decision, and he did not forget to kindly go back and ask Lin Qingyue's opinion.
I thought she would change her mind, but I didn't expect it to get worse. Lin Qingyue was suddenly so angry that she burst out of her mouth with four words through gritted teeth, "That's it, it's very good." "Slut, the moment you fall into my hands, I don't believe I can't clean you up.
Appreciating Lin Qingyue's mute look of eating coptis, with a look of suffering, Lin Xiaoyou felt quite happy in his heart. This is just the beginning, one day, she will hollow out the Lin Mansion little by little. "I don't know what happened to Miss Lin asking Princess Ben to come out today?" There are only two of them left in the house now, and Lin Xiaoyou doesn't want to talk around the bush with her, so he directly identifies her, reminding her of the current relationship between the two.
Hearing this, Lin Qingyue was slightly stunned, suppressed the evil anger in her heart, and said: "Look at what my sister said, now I am just idle, and I asked my sister to come out to catch up on the old days." After all, the prince was busy with official business, and Miss Yin had just entered the mansion not long ago, and my sister was worried that my sister had no one to say to her in the mansion, so she was bored. β
Sure enough, after working for a long time, Lin Qingyue's fox tail couldn't wait to be revealed. Since she wants to act, she doesn't mind accompanying her to the end. Lin Xiaoyou sighed, "Miss Lin really said that this princess is in her heart, in the palace, there are indeed many things that make me feel depressed." Speaking of boredom, she is indeed depressed enough, but it is not because Lin Qingyue thinks that she is jealous and depressed, but because she is very bored every time she thinks that the murderer who persecuted her mother is still at large.
Hearing her say this, Lin Qingyue, who misunderstood the meaning, lit up her eyes, smiled proudly, and pretended to comfort: "After all, Miss Yin has just entered the mansion, and she is the niece of the Queen Mother, so she is inevitably arrogant." As long as the prince ignores her, she can't make waves, and her sister has to think about it. β
Biluoju is not the best restaurant, and without a few words, the meals have been served one after another. Lin Qingyue poured a glass of wine into the wine glasses of the two, took a sip and said, "Sister, try it, this is Biluoju's special wine - Baihua drunk, fragrant and sweet, and it tastes good." β
"Really?" Lin Xiaoyou looked at it, but didn't mean to drink. Although she didn't drink very well, it was okay to drink less. It's just that she is going to the Hongmen banquet now, so it's better to be careful.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoyu was unmoved, Lin Qingyue secretly hated in her heart. She has tried her best to lower her body to please her, and she still looks high. If it weren't for her mother's refusal to help her enter the palace, why would she lower her status today to curry favor with Lin Xiaoyu, a slut. I couldn't help but ask tentatively: "My sister is so absent-minded, but she is still worried about the things in the house?"
The fish was about to be hooked, Lin Xiaoyou nodded anxiously, and said quietly: "Although I am a princess, but in the mansion, it is Concubine Su who is in power, and a nominal princess will inevitably be despised." β
I didn't expect Lin Xiaoyou to say such a thing in person, which was consistent with the news she got. Although the location of the princess is infinitely beautiful, it seems that Lin Xiaoyu is not so happy in the palace. That is to say, a lowly concubine, how could the prince care about her. Thinking of this, Lin Qingyue smiled extraordinarily brightly, "If my sister doesn't mind, my sister has a good idea here." β
The smile in Lin Xiaoyou's eyes was a hint of mockery, and she said, she just waited for Lin Qingyue to say what was in her heart!
Lin Qingyue rolled her eyes, took her hand, and said with a straight face: "You think, Yin Qiumeng has the support of the Queen Mother, and Concubine Su is also the Queen Mother's person, and her sister is a weak person, so naturally she can't fight them." If you don't mind, my sister can come into the house to help you, as long as the two of us sisters join forces, I'm not afraid that they will bully you. β
What a high-sounding reason, under the guise of helping her, she is planning for herself. I really thought she was a fool and let it go. Lin Xiaoyou secretly snorted coldly, "Miss Lin wants to enter the palace?"
"Sister, sister, this is also for your good. Even if you are now a princess and a princess, but you have no power and no power in the palace alone, can you fight Yin Qiumeng and them? Besides, Yin Qiumeng is an outsider, you are willing to let her enter the mansion, and you are not happy with your own sister?" Lin Qingyue patiently guided and did not let go of the look on Lin Xiaoyou's face.
One sister and sister, completely leaving all the previous things out of their minds, it is really shameless. Lin Xiaoyou's eyes flashed, "Miss Lin, the palace belongs to the prince, and what the princess said doesn't count." However, it is not impossible. β
"How to do it, as long as you open your mouth, my sister will definitely do it. As soon as she heard that there was a way, Lin Qingyue asked anxiously.
Lin Xiaoyu casually withdrew his hand from Lin Qingyue's hand. "Miss Lin, let's make a deal! It's impossible to let you enter the palace directly, but if you are given the privilege of entering the palace, this princess can still call the shots. β
"You, what do you mean by this, Lin Xiaoyu?" Lin Qingyue was originally full of joy and expected her solution, but she didn't expect to suddenly talk to her about the conditions. It's like a bucket of cold water poured on her, extinguishing all her enthusiasm.
"Don't get excited, Miss Lin. With your intelligence and beauty, do you have no confidence in yourself? Imagine if you can win the favor of the prince within this time, that will be justified. Lin Xiaoyou smiled lightly, adding the method of inducement to the method of inducement, and Lin Qingyue, who was not confident and arrogant, did not take the bait.
"Then what do you want?" Thinking of the prince he had loved for a long time, Lin Qingyue was faintly moved.
Sighing heavily, Lin Xiaoyou covered her heart and said in a deep voice: "Miss Lin, do you know what it feels like for your husband to be taken away by others? I heard that doing business can divert attention, and this princess thinks that the Hongfutang Tea House and the Jin Xiangrui Inn in the Lin Mansion are good, which can be regarded as a small compensation for this princess!" What she is doing now seems to be selling her husband for glory! If Xiahou Yichen knew about it, would he strangle her?
"Lin Xiaoyou, I'm your sister. As soon as she heard that Lin Xiaoyu had put her mind on her own property, Lin Qingyue was shocked, and roared angrily, obviously running out of patience.
Sister?Lin Xiaoyu chuckled disdainfully, "Miss Lin, this princess is the princess of Yueyin Kingdom, and there are indeed many brothers and sisters, but there doesn't seem to be Miss Lin's save! In short, you have to understand one thing, even if this princess is not good, as long as I say a word, Concubine Su will not dare to let you enter the mansion without permission. β
Lin Qingyue looked at her in disbelief, her face was red and white for a while, and her expression changed alternately, which was wonderful. "Lin Xiaoyou, you are too much. With that, he got up and left.
"Miss Lin, thank you for your hospitality, when you think about today's things clearly, you will come to tell Princess SΓΉben. Lin Xiaoyou pouted with a vague smile, and his eyes were happy to see off the departing figure. She has all the properties of the Lin Mansion in her hands, and the two industries on the bright side of the tea house and the inn are considered to be the first joy, and the rest are not in a hurry.
"Miss, are you okay!" Seeing Lin Qingyue leave with the maid in a hurry, Xiangqing quickly walked in.
"It's okay, sit down and eat. There are so many good things, it is a waste not to eat. Lin Xiaoyou glanced at her and asked her to sit together.
Xiangqing shook her head in fear, "Childe, the slave is a subordinate, how dare you sit with the master." β
"You still know that I am the master, and the master will let you sit down now, will you sit down?" Lin Xiaoyou smiled and retorted.
"Yes. After hesitating for a while, Xiangqing could only cry and sit down obediently without tears.
