Chapter 553: Don't Marry Him
In fact, Lin Yu was also too worried, such a thing, if the girls themselves did not agree, they would not let them go to this kind of task, after all, if they are not willing to complain, who knows if Lu Dao stabbed the master in the back? Therefore, the chief steward has asked these girls, and Lin Yu also knows a little, but he still thinks that these girls are the same age, and they are still a little reluctant.
And for those girls, Lin Yu's words were a surprise, and sure enough, they all had some small requirements, but they were all small requirements, such as gold and silver jewelry, or asking to take care of the sisters or maids who had a good relationship before, or they wanted to go out for a walk, and there was a girl who wanted to go to the Lin family restaurant for a big meal.
"I've always heard that the dishes in the restaurant opened by the county lord are strange and exquisite, but I don't have a chance to taste it, but since you gave us this opportunity, this time the county lord gave us this opportunity, I cheekily proposed it." The girl who made this request had a clean smile, a little baby fat on her goose egg face, and her eyes were as clear as a fawn.
Lin Yu was stunned and laughed, "This is natural, I'll set up a banquet for you tonight, okay?" β
"Really?" The girl laughed, revealing her white teeth, "That's great, and then we can show the county lord a show." β
Four of the five people made requests, but Xu Xiao, who was stronger than others in appearance and temperament, didn't say anything, Lin Yu glanced at her and smiled slightly, "Don't you have any requests that you want to meet?" β
That Xu Xiao was an extremely clever person, pursed his lips and smiled. "Actually, the county lord doesn't feel sorry for me, with our appearance and background, to be honest, being able to serve the emperor is already the best way out. How many powerful men in this world do not have three wives and four concubines? β
Lin Yu heard what she said, glanced at her bright face, and smiled slightly, "In the future, although I can support a little, whether I can win the emperor's favor or not depends on your ability." Isn't that Xue Meiren the best example now? I can't say I'll have to rely on you in the future. β
Xu Xiao saw that she seemed to be vaguely responding, and immediately smiled like a flower, and saluted. Lin Yu's face was a little tired, he raised his hand, covered his mouth and yawned, the chief steward saw her like this. He laughed. "I'll take these girls down and get some rest."
Lin Yu nodded, and the chief steward took people down, but the smile on Lin Yu's face also retracted, and he said softly, "What do you think?" β
"That Ah Yong seems to be a little greedy for money, and that Xu Xiao is obviously not very stable, and she looks quite ambitious, do you want to replace her? She was beautiful again. I saw the newly favored Xue Yongshi once, this girl is not under Xue Meiren. Xiaobai walked out from behind. Sitting next to Lin Yu, after pouring her a cup of tea, he poured himself another cup.
"It's okay, just as she is trying to compete for favor and climb up, I have my own way to control her." Lin Yu smiled, "And whether Yu Wencheng can sit firmly on the throne is another matter." β
"It's been so long, and there is no news from the Fourth Highness, do you think something will really happen?" Xiao Bai said with a little worry, "Or after getting out this time, let's go to the northwest." β
"We must go to the northwest, my sister still has to talk to my uncle and aunt to see if I can come up with any way, and I don't know if I have asked for a miracle doctor." Lin Yu sighed lightly, "It's really eventful." β
Xiaobai was silent for a while, but he couldn't think of any good way, sighed and said, "Let's do one thing at a time, let's deal with this matter later." Take a break, I'll take care of the news over there. β
Lin Yu was a little tired, coughed slightly, nodded and had no objections. In a courtyard of the house, five or six girls were chattering there, looking very excited.
"Do you think that the county lord Jian Hui will really entertain us? Sister Xiaoxiao? β
"The county lord has already said it, so naturally he will not break his word." Xu Xiao's mood is also very good, and he is confident.
Although she grew up in a bunch of beautiful embryos, she is still more beautiful than others since she was a child, and she is a little smarter than ordinary people. Therefore, Xu Xiao thought that even if he couldn't spoil the harem when he entered the palace, he could win the emperor's heart and be a favorite concubine. What she is worried about is the attitude of the main family, if Yin Susu is still in power, she will not dare to mention this plan even if she has this plan in her heart, and after changing Lin Yu, she will have the courage to start testing, she was still a little worried, but she didn't want to get Lin Yu's default promise, and she was naturally in a good mood.
That night, Lin Yu really set up a banquet to invite them, and several girls also showed their singing and dancing skills, and those who could be selected were all equipped with unique skills, so the singing and dancing were very wonderful, and they were all happy. The next day, the chief steward personally operated, and indirectly offered these five girls through an official, Yu Wencheng, who had no discipline, really accepted it, and that night he took a fancy to the most beautiful and charming Xu Xiao, of course, everyone was happy to see it happen.
It can't be said that everyone is happy to see it, the eldest grandson smashed the cup angrily, and two days before her birthday, there were so many more showy love rivals naturally made her not very happy. But fortunately, Yu Wencheng also knew that this matter was slightly inappropriate, but there were some uncontrollable things with Xu Xiao that day, and the others still held on to it, and they didn't give Xu Xiao any name.
This made Xu Xiao not very happy, but Yu Wencheng is still very good at coaxing women, and promised that he would definitely give her a good name in the future, and said that if she could win a man in one fell swoop, she would be named Jieyu, and gave her a lot of gold beads and silk. Then Xu Xiaocai became happy and flattered him again, Yu Wencheng patted his ass and left after he was happy, and only after leaving did he ask someone to send her and the other four people into the palace and place them in a small palace room, and did not publicize the matter.
Therefore, Concubine Su Xian, who was being grounded, received the news a little later, although her face was dark for a long time, but after she planted such a big heel, she was reminded by Liu. In the end, it didn't come out. However, after Xue Yongshi heard about this, no matter what other people's faces were, she just raised her eyebrows slightly. He left it alone, to a bit of a pampered look.
Here, Lin Yu saw that everything was going according to the plan, and he was also relieved, and it was a lot easier to hear that the third prince Yu Wencheng had only harmed Xu Xiao. Although they themselves are willing, it is actually not bad to be able to enter the palace with their status and status, and Lin Yu just wants them to be favored as much as possible to distract Yu Wencheng's attention. It's not dangerous to help yourself say a few words when you need to, and you don't need them to do any assassination.
But among these women. She still has some regrets for those four, but for the ambitious Xu Xiao, Lin Yu has no guilt, such an ambitious woman. Even if you don't choose her. She is afraid that she will also work hard to fight for it, and staying by her side is even more harmful, it is better to let her harm others, anyway, Lin Yu has several cards in her hand to contain her, but she is not worried that she will deal with herself after she takes the position.
However, this matter had just been arranged, and he had just breathed a sigh of relief, when Lin Yu met another unexpected visitor, Zhang Wan'er. This is the second time she has come to the door after the successful usurpation of the third prince Yu Wencheng. Lin Yu was a little impatient to see her, and if he didn't hate her, it didn't mean that he would like her. Helping at a critical time does not mean that Lin Yu really has no problem with her.
It's just that now Zhang Wan'er has become the Duchess of the country, and Lu Pingzhi is the maternal cousin of the third prince Yu Wencheng, the scenery is amazing, don't look at the eldest grandson's family, the Su family, etc., the real most beautiful is the Lu family, but this face Lin Yu is not good not to give her, anyway, Zhang Wan'er will probably not come to find trouble. And Zhang Wan'er didn't go around, but came to herself, which was a little strange, and Lin Yu also wanted to know what she wanted to say.
At this time, the prince's funeral period was over, Zhang Wan'er was dressed gorgeously, and everyone who watched it smacked their tongues, and Lin Yu heard a maid ring whispering to another, "Look at Mrs. Zhang's body, I'm afraid that it will not be less than five thousand taels." β
"Five thousand taels? You're underestimating her. That Feng Lan sneered, "I saw it when I went out with the county lord that time, the jewelry on her bald head was worth seven or eight thousand taels, not counting the round white jade bracelet on her hand, the ring inlaid with the best rubies, and the brocade clothes on her body that were worth a lot of money at first glance, how could the colorful brocade cloak of white fox skin be taken down without nearly a thousand taels?" β
Lin Yu is actually a little funny to see her dressed like this, she looks like she is going to get married, and she seems to be attending some jewelry display party, which is not too cumbersome, but if she loses one or two pieces of jewelry on her body, who is lucky enough to pick it up, she can really be frugal and worry-free for a lifetime. Xiaobai felt even more funny, and said with a little luck, "Fortunately, you don't love these gems and pearls, flowers and powder." β
Lin Yu said with a smile, "Women like beautiful jewelry and gemstones, but I prefer to look at them in a box rather than wearing them on my body." β
Lin Yu is actually not small now, Zhang Wan'er is only the eldest lady of the Zhang family or has already married, and the amount of money that can be used freely is definitely not as much as Lin Yu, but Lin Yu has no intention of making herself look like this, although it is also very good-looking. And the wealth is not exposed, Lin Yu and Zhang Wan'er's current situation can be very different, if Lin Yu acts too ostentatious, he will be unlucky. What's more, the third prince Yuwencheng Sima Zhao's heart is immortal, and Lin Yu can't wait for everyone to notice him.
Therefore, although Zhang Wan'er was so ceremoniously dressed, Lin Yu still met her in the warm pavilion in homely clothes. However, Zhang Wan'er looked at the solid pink brocade skirt on Lin Yu's body, the moon-white stand-up collar jacket embroidered with silver thread on her upper body, and the two silver hairpins, a bead flower and a crystal lily of the valley silk flower on her head, none of which are popular today, and naturally they are not new, so she felt a little uncomfortable.
Zhang Wan'er is a very simple person, Lin Yu helped her twice when she was in danger, which can be regarded as saving her life, but she really remembers Lin Yu in her heart. She herself is generous and straight-mouthed, although her personality can't be changed, she still doesn't lose a bit of sincerity.
"Recently, I heard that your life is a little difficult, and now it seems that this is really the case, this is not mine, I turned around and asked someone to cut new clothes and send this year's popular jewelry, don't refuse."
Lin Yu didn't expect her to say such a thing, she was stunned for a moment, looked at herself, and then looked at the shining jewelry and gorgeous clothes on Zhang Wan'er, the gap was indeed a little big, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Actually, it doesn't have to, although it has been a little difficult recently, it has not reached such a point." β
Zhang Wan'er looked unconvinced, and Lin Yu's wry smile made her feel that Lin Yu was really short of money, but she was unwilling to accept it for the sake of face. "You don't have to hide it, although I don't know who released the rumors, but it's true that those people are eyeing you, you donated such a large amount of money before, and the cost is big during this time, I'm afraid it's really short of money." I may not be able to do anything else, but I am quite rich in money, so don't shirk it. Your fiancΓ© is not a big family, let alone support you, I'm afraid I have to make up for it. β
Xiaobai was reading a few paperwork in the outside wing, originally prepared for Zhang Wan'er to be uninteresting, but when he heard this, don't mention how unhappy he is, his daughter-in-law can't use you to pretend! It's just that Zhang Wan'er is a young lady after all, but he can't take the liberty to go in and refute it. Lin Yu was a little crying and laughing, and he didn't know why Zhang Wan'er thought that she was short of money?
didn't want to get entangled on this topic, Lin Yu was about to change the topic, so he directly asked the question he cared about, Zhang Wan'er's intention.
"I don't know what Mrs. Zhang came here for? Tomorrow is the Queen's birthday, you should be very busy, I really didn't expect you to visit in person. β
Zhang Wan'er only remembered at this time that she had only entangled Lin Yu with the question of whether she was short of money before, but she forgot her main purpose, because she glanced at the maid who was waiting next to her, but did not speak. Lin Yu understood, nodded, and said to the maids, "Let's all go down, I'll talk to Mrs. Zhang." β
Seeing that everyone went down, Zhang Wan'er hesitated for a moment but said, "I came this time because of the rumors outside." β
"Oh?" Lin Yu thought that she was going to say something secret so mysteriously, but she didn't expect it to be a rumor, but she didn't stop Zhang Wan'er from talking, maybe the other party noticed something she hadn't noticed before.
Zhang Wan'er didn't think much about it, and she didn't care about Lin Yu's reaction, she just said her thoughts, "I heard about you and Yu Wencheng, no matter whether that incident is true or not, I think that since Bai Gongzi also has a heart, you can't give up easily." Even if Bai Gongzi quits the marriage because of this matter, you must not marry him! β
Zhang Wan'er said that after talking about the worst, a look similar to resentment, anger and even hideous appeared on her face, which was keenly captured by Lin Yu, and her heart was even more strange. (To be continued......)
