Lin Long suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, did he think that she only had money in her eyes? But when everyone spoke, she was no longer hypocritical, and she stepped on the embroidered shoes with mud, and when she saw the mud prints, her heart was weak for a while.

Ye Xuyao's brows were still furrowed, this mess was a little uncomfortable for him, he pulled his collar, looked away, and didn't know which tendon was wrong with him, so he got out of the carriage to help her?

Lin Long didn't seem to be in a good mood when he saw him, thinking that he was disgusted with himself for soiling the expensive carpet in his carriage, so he said, "You said you didn't want me to pay for it......" Besides, she couldn't afford to pay for it, such a carpet was more than her entire belongings.

"Are you talking to me the wind in your ears?" Ye Xuyao glanced at her, "Do you have anything else in your eyes besides money?" A girl's house is messing around, and she is not afraid of other people's jokes? ”

When Lin Long shook the carriage on the way, he clenched the wall of the carriage, and when he heard what he didn't like, the corners of his mouth twitched, and after a while, he looked up at Ye Xuyao coldly, and said, "Do you think I don't want to be glamorous and full of slaves?" Do you think I don't want to sit there without touching my fingers? Do you think I'm going to be so toiling and making a wolf bèi? But this is called life is better than people. ”

She laughed at herself, "If I am still living in a rich family like Ye Gongzi, then I can also treat money as dung, you haven't tasted being forced to death by a penny, so how can you criticize me?" Who can show that attitude, I don't steal, I don't rob, I don't cheat, I am above board, why am I afraid of other people's jokes? ”

After speaking, she immediately looked away, this was the first time in three years that she said such things to an outsider, there were no tears in her eyes and no unwillingness, after all, she never complained about others.

Ye Xuyao was stunned, for the first time she looked at this strong girl from her heart, thinking of her life experience, as the saying goes, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, she has done better than many people, at least so far, she loves money and loves money, but she never takes the share that is not her own.

Thinking of this, his expression changed, and then looked at Lin Long, who was dirty with mud on his body, he actually felt a little pleasing to the eye, but he had never apologized to humanity in his life, so he opened his mouth and finally swallowed those words back into his stomach again.

There was silence in the carriage, and neither of them was silent.

When he raised his eyes to look at her again, he saw her two willow eyebrows furrowed, her eyes drooping slightly, her hands rubbing her ankles, it seemed that she had accidentally got it just now, and she approached with a frown, "What's wrong with your feet?" ”

Lin Long only felt a shadow above his head at this time, looked up at him, and said forcefully: "It's okay......" The ankle that was accidentally bruised before didn't feel pain, but now it hurts a little.

He crouched down and reached out to grab her mud-stained embroidered shoes, "Hurt?" ”

Lin Long shrunk her feet, men and women don't kiss, and besides, her feet can't be exposed to men casually, this is the right that only her future husband can have, "Ye Gongzi, don't get your hands dirty, and it's not ...... polite."

Ye Xuyao's deep ink eyes looked at her slender eyelashes and fanned, "There are priorities, what's the matter?" Regardless of the discomfort in her heart, she took off her mud-stained embroidered shoes, and her movements were so fast that Lin Long couldn't even stop them.

"Ye Gongzi, this is not good...... Ah......h

"Your foot is a little swollen, but it's not strict, I'll rub this bruise for you, and you can wipe it with medicinal wine when you go back, and you'll be fine soon." Ye Xuyao said a long series of sentences rarely, rubbing her slightly swollen ankles with slight exercise.

Lin Long didn't say a word, this action of kneading and dissolving blood was even more painful than just now, Bei Yan bit his lower lip and nodded with tears.

Ye Xuyao lifted his eyes slightly to look at her, she was like a poor cat, and he couldn't help but feel pity, this thought together, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and soon stopped looking at her.

After a long time, Lin Long felt that his feet were light, but he no longer felt pain, since he didn't care, there was no need for him to stick to that etiquette, so he looked up at him and smiled brightly: "Thank you!" ”

Ye Xuyao withdrew his hand and put it in his sleeve, said "um" lightly, and sat down in his place with a cold expression, but the hand under his sleeve was trembling slightly, trying to ignore the ripples in his heart.

Lin Long was accustomed to his cold face, and he didn't care, he was very satisfied with the ankle that was no longer painful, if it was really swollen tomorrow, it would delay her a lot, and she was really grateful to Ye Xuyao at this time.

Ye Xuyao, who seemed to be looking away, saw her put on shoes and socks out of the corner of his eye, and her delicate feet seemed to be still dangling in front of his eyes.

Hurried all the way, and narrowly entered the city when the sky was about to close the dark city gate, Lin Nan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he was also a little relaxed when talking to the two bandits.

When he arrived at the Lin family's ancestral house, the lantern was already on, Ye Xuyao helped Lin Long get out of the carriage, and as soon as she stood still, he immediately let go of his hand behind his back, "You remember to take medicine, don't leave it at that." ”

With that, he turned and got into the carriage.

Lin Long hurriedly thanked him again, and when he saw his carriage leaving, he talked to Aunt Green who was supporting her, and asked about important matters.

After Aunt Green answered them one by one, she still asked cautiously, "Sister Long, I see that person is Ye Gongzi, right?" How did you come back to the city with him? ”

Lin Long listened to her question carefully, and thought that it was a difficult question, so he smiled and told the things on the road.

Aunt Green looked at her expression carefully, it was the same as some time ago, it seemed that she was still thinking too much, so she put this matter aside.

I took the medicine at night, and when Lin Long got up again the next day, sure enough, there was no problem with his ankle, and he was happy, and he was a little more grateful to Ye Xuyao.

After sending Lin Dong out to study in the academy, she instructed Aunt Green to wait at home for Uncle Chen to send flowers and plants to the door, and then took out two copper coins to Aunt Green, "This is the reward for Uncle Chen, Erniang will take it away, and remember to give it to him later." ”

Aunt Green nodded, "Steward Lin has already arrived at the store to supervise the work, and the meeting between me and Lin Nan's family will clean up the flowers and plants, you must not remember it." ”

Lin Long nodded and sighed, "I'll go to Bei Mansion once, and then I have to go to the governor's yamen, there are a lot of things, Erniang and Aunt Nan will take care of it more, and when this batch of pollen is properly processed, this store will be opened." ”

Aunt Green and Lin Nan's family were busy and humble, and it was Lin Long's credit that this thing could be done.

Lin Long then turned around and went out to Bei Mansion.

The porter of the Pei family recognized Lin Long, and as soon as he saw her, he welcomed her into the house, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Miss Lin come to the door for a few days, what kind of wind is blowing you here today?" ”

Lin Long smiled: "It's just that it's busy, but it makes you worry, by the way, you scarlet girls are in the house?" ”

"Yes, yes." The porter hurriedly answered, and hurriedly called someone to lead Lin Long to Bei Mingfei's courtyard.

Pei Mingfei is Pei Yu's most favored daughter, and he built the most luxurious yard for her, Lin Long is not the first time to come, but he still has to sigh at the wealth of the Pei family, and truly achieve a scene at every step, which shows the ingenuity.

As soon as Pei Mingfei saw Lin Long, he threw down the paintbrush and stepped forward to take her hand, pouting and reproaching: "I have been looking for you a few times, and your grandmother Su said that you went out, thinking that you went to the governor's yamen, I looked for it again, but it was empty again, you have to show up at this time?" ”

Lin Long smiled and said a few words of forgiveness, and casually mentioned that she was going to open a fat powder shop.

"Open a shop? Where did you get the money? Bei Mingfei has always spoken straight, and besides, she knows that Lin Long's economic situation is not very good.

Lin Long took the opportunity to tell the two uncles, and Bei Mingfei waved his fist and said: "It's still cheaper for them, it's only two hundred taels of silver, and it's not too much for me to say that he wants two thousand taels." ”

Lin Long smiled bitterly, two hundred taels was enough for her two uncles to hold a grudge, but what about two thousand taels? Ah Fei is still the daughter of a rich family in the end, and this view of money makes her staggered.

"I have a little bit of money on hand, so why don't I get a few shares." Bei Mingfei said happily, seeing that Lin Long wanted to refuse again, he hurriedly pressed her hand and said: "This matter is settled, I still expect you to give me money to make money, and I will save a dowry when the time comes, isn't it that you don't even want to help me make money?" After saying that, he pouted pretendedly.

Lin Long knew that she wanted to help herself, and she was afraid that her capital turnover would not be effective, otherwise with her identity, how could she care about this little money? Well, since she has a heart, why not do it? "Okay, I can't tell you, this business has just started now, I can't ask your money to go down the drain, so let's put in a hundred taels of silver, and I'll give you forty percent of the shares, how about it?"

How could Bei Mingfei care about this share, "It's too much, count me into thirty." Then he turned his head and told his maid to fetch the silver ticket.

"That's fine." Lin Long also said simply, since they are friends, there is no need to be so careful.

She remembered what she heard, and hurriedly mentioned this matter to Bei Mingfei, "Ah Fei, I think you have to persuade Uncle Bei to be careful." ”

"I don't care about my father's business." Bei Ming smiled and said, "Besides, my father is very shrewd, it's not easy to trap him, you can relax me, nothing will happen." ”

When Lin Long saw her say this, he didn't want to say more, turned his head and thought about Pei Yu's ability to start from scratch, he was used to seeing the wind and waves, so he didn't have anything to fear, but he was worried about himself, so he smiled and said: "But I want to fork it, it's okay, if there is any change in this, everyone has to be careful." She pointed to the top of her head.

Bei Mingfei nodded, "That's right." ”

The two sisters talked for a while, and Bei Mingfei saw that Lin Long got up to go to the governor's yamen, so he ordered someone to prepare a carriage, and she also went over to see Lin Long off by the way.

Lin Long didn't break her either, but generously rode a carriage with her to the backyard of the governor's yamen.

It has been a while since Zheng Nanzhu conditioned her skin, and now it is quite effective, and Bei Mingfei even praised Zheng Nanzhu for becoming beautiful, and Zheng Nanzhu smiled when she heard it, and said that she wanted to thank Lin Long.

Lin Long said humbly: "This also has the credit of Miss Zheng, and it can't all be attributed to me." ”

Zheng Nanzhu smiled noncommittally and took a sip of tea, "I heard that Miss Lin is going to open a fat powder shop?" ”

Lin Long was stunned, how did this matter reach her ears?
