Chapter 214: Return to Beijing
"The sun is so good, what to eat?" The bright sunlight outside the window has softened a lot through the window screen, and Lin Yu stretched out in the window.
"I saw a good sheep in the morning, how about we buy one?" Xiaobai immediately picked up the topic, "You can also eat barbecue at night and put it in the yard." "I mean, you, aren't you worried at all?" Qingqing saw that the two of them were discussing the issue of lunch and dinner, and said a little helplessly. "It's weird, what else to worry about?" Xiaobai turned his head to look at Qingqing and smiled widely, "Sister Qingqing, do you like braised lamb, stewed, stir-fried or barbecued mutton?" β
Qingqing: "......"
Xiaobai and Lin Yu, one is from the Sunshine Star Optimistic family, and the other is from the Ordinary Heart Star Gentle family, compared to Qingqing's worries, the two of them are very emotional after settling down after twists and turns. "Aren't you worried about the coup d'Γ©tat, and there is still the question of not being able to enter Beijing?" After Qingqing was choked by Xiaobai, she turned her head to Lin Yudao. "What does it matter to me about the affairs of the imperial court? That was something that the emperor and the officials and nobles were worried about. Not wanting Lin Yu to behave more blandly, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Besides, it's useless for me to worry, and I can't give orders and make suggestions to Lu Shang." As for not being able to enter Beijing, there seems to be no problem, a grange lives for a month, half a year has passed, and you can also rectify the affairs of the grange by the way. In short, don't be born less than 100 years old, often worry about a thousand years old, as the saying goes, the days are short and the nights are long, why not travel with candles? β
"Like, you're right." Qingqing wanted to persuade Lin Yu, but was persuaded by Lin Yu.
"Since you have decided to eat sheep, it is better to ask the steward to buy a sheep from someone." Lin Yu said with a smile. "You haven't said you want to eat that?"
"It's so hot, I don't want to eat braised food." Qingqing also thought about it seriously. "I don't want to stew a part. Grill part of the evening? However, if you eat meat on a hot day, you should prepare a little spice to promote digestion. β
Lin Yu smiled when he heard this, "How can you just eat mutton, what is the most attractive thing about the life of a farmer?" "It's a natural, pollution-free, super fresh vegetables and fruits, including meat.
"Speaking of which, the red wild fruit I ate before tasted really good, I don't know if there is one here." Xiaobai couldn't help but think of the fruits he had eaten in the mountains before. It's a pity that I didn't find the seedlings of that kind of fruit tree after the last day.
The two lighter men succeeded in assimilating a more serious man, and a few servants, began to discuss the lunch menu. At this time, what vegetables are delicious, whose vegetables are the best, and which one has just caught game.
So when Chunwei brought people over, everyone was discussing around a sheep. Lin Yu pointed beside him. If you look at her alone, she is still very small and fresh, but looking at the sheep next to her that is being slaughtered and waiting to be cut, it is a bit disobedient. And Xiaobai, wearing a dark color suit, holding a knife next to him, ready to obey Lin Yu's command to divide the mutton.
"Miss Chunwei?" Lin Yu was directing Xiaobai to cut mutton, and when he looked up, he saw Chunwei walking in with a large number of people.
"Miss Yu, who are you?" Chunwei looked at this large group of people guarding a sheep here, and said with some puzzlement.
"Isn't this a celebration of the two of us returning to Beijing in victory, killing a sheep to celebrate?" Xiaobai smiled. "Actually, I was greedy, so I bought a sheep with Xiaoyu."
Lin Yu handed over the mutton to the servant to deal with. I let Chunwei into the house and said with a smile, "It's okay to do anything, what are you thinking about if you don't think about eating?" β
"Miss Yu is really free." Chunwei said with a smile, she really didn't expect Lin Yu to be full of smiles at this time, and she was a little surprised in her heart.
"Your master is still in the palace?" After entering the house, they sat down, and Lin Yu was not polite, and said with a smile.
"Actually, after getting the letter, she has already left the palace, but because of the special situation recently, it is not easy for her to leave the capital, although it is not far here, it is also half a day's journey." Chunwei explained. "Therefore, he asked me to bring someone to take Gongzi and Miss Yu back to Beijing."
"Can Xiaoyu return to Beijing?" In this regard, Qingqing was still a little surprised, looked at Chunwei, and saw Chunwei nodded.
"Miss Yu has made a lot of contributions this time, but the emperor also said that he doesn't want Miss Yu to be too high-profile." Chunwei said with a smile.
"It's not bad to go back to Beijing, it's not as convenient as home in Zhuangzi, but-" Lin Yu looked at the sheep outside the window a little reluctantly, "Don't you even eat this meal?" β
"Hehe, my master has set up a banquet in Lanyuan, and Miss Yu and Gongzi also have a lot of things to tell my master." Chunwei reminded.
This is really a big deal, not to mention anything else, Tang Jie's situation always has to be told to Yin Susu as soon as possible, and then properly bury and settle the family members as soon as possible. Lin Yu had to be generous, asked the steward to clean up the whole sheep, cook the soup, and invite his own tenants who lived in Zhuangzi to come over to eat.
Before Lin Yu left, there was a small episode, the second girl named Peach Blossom of the Chen family saw that Lin Yu was about to leave, but she didn't plan to take her to the capital too, and she came to ask for an explanation. She felt that Lin Yu rewarded her with such beautiful jewelry and valued her very much, how could she not hire her?
"Miss, are you not satisfied with what I did?"
"Do you want to hear the truth?" Lin Yu blinked, looked at the little girl and said with a smile, "I sleep lightly, if you get up in the middle of the night every day and toss for more than an hour, I can't stand it." β
Chen Taohua's face suddenly turned pale, and soon turned red again, and he bowed his head and said, "Miss, do you know what happened?" β
"If you're talking about you going through my package in the middle of the night and trying on five or six pieces of clothing and all the jewelry, I do know it." Lin Yu smiled lightly, "Of course, what I said still counts, and that piece of jewelry will add makeup to you." Okay, it's not too early, you can step down. β
Chen Taohua walked away with a red face, and just bumped into Qingqing head-on, Qingqing looked at Chen Taohua who was trotting down, and said strangely.
"That girl is Steward Chen's second daughter, right? The lady of the Chen family mentioned it to me, saying that she wanted her girl to go up and serve, save the family's money, not to mention the monthly money, and learn a little about the height of the eyebrows and eyes, and see the world. Qingqing remembered something. Road.
"This kidβ" Lin Yu smiled and didn't speak.
"What's wrong?" Qingqing heard what he said, and couldn't help asking.
Lin Yu didn't hide it from her. After telling her about the matter, Qingqing also nodded and said, "It's okay, it's really a little inappropriate, or is the position of her father Chen's steward also moved?" β
"What's a big deal, the child's eyelids are shallow, and he can't control himself. In the end, I didn't dare to steal it. Lin Yu didn't care much, "Her father is still doing well, and we are no better than that family." There aren't that many proper people. β
This matter is indeed nothing compared to many things at the moment, this topic was quickly revealed, and Qingqing helped Lin Yu clean up the little salute. Said on the side.
Listen to what Chunwei meant. Lately, I seem to want you to live on the Lan Yuan side. β
"You have to go over first, and then you can't stay over there and see." Lin Yu said, "It depends on how things change, and this time it's not a small mess." If you want me to say, the power of the family is indeed too great, looking at the Zhang family's control over its traditional territory, what is the difference between the country within a country? β
"Like you say, though. It's not something we can worry about. Qingqing smiled, "It's going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival soon." There are still a few Boxing gifts that have not been sent, and whether your restaurant has launched some dishes and food that suits the occasion, you also want to make the most late decision. Moreover, there is also Mrs. Lin's side, who sent someone over to say that I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you very much, please be sure to go over in person. β
"It's fine." Lin Yu pondered for a moment, but still nodded, "Let's go over and visit, I don't know how Aunt Lu Daotang is doing?" β
Thinking of Mrs. Lin, Lin Yu sighed softly, a long time has passed, and after seeing the cruel death, Lin Yu himself has a lot less disgust for Mrs. Lin, after all, she raised her deity, the only relative.
While the two were talking about things, they packed up their things and got into the carriage, and they had a little snack on the carriage for lunch, and when they arrived at Lanyuan, the sun had already deviated slightly to the west.
Yin Susu stood outside the hall to greet the people who had returned from afar, her figure was as slender as a jade bamboo, wearing a homely coupling silk skirt, a turquoise shirt, and her eyebrows and eyes were rarely soft. When everyone walked in, she first looked at her brother carefully, then looked at Lin Yu carefully, and said with a smile.
"Judging by your complexion, it's not bad."
"I haven't seen her these days, but my sister seems to have lost some weight." Xiaobai said with a smile.
"As the saying goes, it's a bitter summer, and I've been busy lately." Yin Susu pulled a few people to sit down and asked someone to serve tea.
Jin He poured tea for a few people and said with a smile, "Isn't it, my master doesn't even have time to eat these days, and he looks thinner and thinner." β
"Where did you lose so much weight? Besides, it's going to get cool soon, and it's estimated that I'll be fat back in a few days. Yin Susu said with a smile, turned her head to Qingqing again, and said with a smile, "Qingqing girl, this is about to make autumn clothes, I have prepared more than a dozen kinds of materials, all of them are fresh patterns, good silk, you look at the patterns you and Xiaoyu want, I will talk to Xiaoyu and them." Xia Ping, you take the Qingqing girl over, or the Qingqing girl is still not satisfied, you can ask the steward to take some out and choose. β
Qingqing knew that the things they were going to talk about were still relatively confidential, not so much to ask themselves to choose fabrics, but to branch themselves, so he stood up and said, "Then trouble Miss Xia Ping, it's just that I'm comfortable for a while, and I'll come back at dinner later." β
For a while, Qingqing went out, and Yin Susufang asked, "You came back late, do you know the news of Tang Jie and them?" β
Lin Yu and Xiao Bai glanced at each other, and Xiao Bai opened his mouth to tell what he had seen and heard that day.
Yin Susu is a smart person, in fact, he has already guessed seven or eight, but he didn't want to believe it before he implemented it, and he couldn't help but shed tears when he heard the bad news at this time.
Although she is resolute and decisive in her heart, she is not an iron-hearted person, and if she is really such a ruthless person, she will not be loyal by so many people. Lin Yu and Tang Jie and others have only known each other for a month, and Yin Susu has known them for several years, how can they not be sad?
A beauty like her, with a rare appearance, is even more heartbreaking when she cries, Lin Yu and Xiaobai plus a group of maids comforted her for a long time.
When it was time for dinner, Qingqing came back here and saw Yin Susu's reddish eyes. Although she had a lot of suspicions in her heart, she didn't show it, she just didn't see it, and diverted the topic.
"Xiaoyu, look at which two of these patterns you prefer, so that someone can cut clothes." Qingqing asked Xia Ping to bring a few samples over to Lin Yu to see. (To be continued.) )
