It's a long way to Liyun! I was a palace maid who was kicked out of the palace, and I was not allowed to have any reward, not even anything I could bring out when I was in the palace. So, I was penniless.

I was too naïve, but helplessly, Li Yun at that time was all my hope.

Life is very difficult, and the journey is not short, sometimes I go to work a little part-time work, sometimes I go to beg for food. Eventually, I was so ragged that I had to beg for food.

Sometimes I slept on the grave, sometimes I fought with wild dogs for food. I was reluctant to use any money, and I just hoped to save enough money for Liyun's travel as soon as possible.

Finally, after three months of walking, I had the money to catch a ride on Liyun's convoy.

I finally realized the bittersweet taste.

The steward of the team was surnamed Li, and during the chat, he learned that Lin Yu had also taken his convoy when he went home. And he said that Lin Yu is no longer at home in the countryside, but has started a business of buying and selling. Even the convoy has business dealings with her. During the conversation, Li Ping admired her.

Oh, yes! She is an older palace maid, and she is helpless when she leaves the palace, but she can start a business by herself, and it is difficult not to admire. However, Li Ping also said that although she started her own business, her relatives also helped. I can also understand this, if a woman really does her own business, it is almost impossible, in the end, there is still a man who needs to show up and act as a laborer when necessary. It's not easy to do anything, but in the end, in Li Ping's paraphrasing, I still admire her.

Finally arrived in Liyun, Li Ping took me to where Lin Yu lived, but she didn't live there anymore. After inquiring, I learned that she had opened a restaurant.

I won't say I'm stunned, but it's pretty much it. I don't know how much it costs to open a restaurant in Liyun. However, it is not a matter of a few taels of silver, and I believe that even the money I earn in my life is not enough to open a restaurant. Li Ping also felt that opening a restaurant in such a short period of time, no matter how good her business was. It's also impossible.

I heard about it later. It is true that this is not the wealth she has accumulated by doing business on her own. Because she had been a palace maid and knew a lot of delicacies in the capital, she was hired by a large family to be a dessert chef. Also. In a large family, the salary is still secondary, and the reward is often dozens or hundreds of times the salary.

She's a good thing. is worthy of serving nobles, and finally has a craft. It's a pity. I have been in the palace for several years, and I have not learned anything.

I told Lin Yu about my experience. Of course, if it is true or false, I can only say in my favor, after all, there is a demand for others. I don't want to make a bad impression.

Lin Yu is still so kind, she asked me to be a "waiter" in her restaurant, and she was a junior for female guests. The lady who came to her. They are all with a bit of status in Liyun City, and they are more or less face-saving. I can talk and be diligent, and I can often give me some rewards. Lin Yu didn't want this reward, and he gave it to me.

I'm quite satisfied, although this life is busy, but I finally live like myself, and I can have a new life through my own efforts.

It's just that if it weren't for Qi Qianli, I think I'd be better.

Qi Qianli and Lin Yu are very close, and the two families have some acquiescence in their relationship, it is said that Qi Qianli used to be a teacher, and he came to the restaurant to do the accounting room, just to get close to the water.

He is a good person, although he is more than ten years older than me, and he is a family, but he is very considerate, and there is always a pity in his eyes whenever he looks at me. It's the first time I've seen such a thing in a man's eyes, maybe even a woman, just like Lin Yu, although there is sympathy in her eyes, it is more of an encouragement for me to be self-reliant. But Qi Qianli is not, his gaze makes me feel like a little woman who can take care of nothing and be spoiled for a lifetime. Every time he looked at me, my heart beat uncontrollably.

He is gentle and responsible. He did his best to help Lin Yu train her nephew, and he also dutifully did every account. He often leaves the latest, and he has to send Lin Yu home. I was envious, and sometimes even fantasized that it would be nice if the person he was with was me.

But gradually, I found that Lin Yu was really cold to him. She's smiling, but she's the same to everyone. But when I saw the people of Qingtian Yaju, there were joys and angers, and they were much more vivid. I don't understand, she is an old leftover girl, and she has such a good person to treat her, what is she not satisfied with? Qi Qianli has done so much for her, why can't she stir up the slightest ripple in her heart?

So, I felt a little sympathetic to Qi Qianli, and I began to unconsciously want to care about him, and wanted to get closer to him, and I felt that I could be better to him.

I still remember that time, when she and her eldest brother went out, the counter in front of me was too busy, and I went over to help.

It was the first time I had been so close to him.

Our counter was next to each other, and I could even smell the faint scent of ink on his body.

While picking up a copper plate that had fallen on the ground, we bumped into our heads and our hands again. At that moment, it was as if the sky was thundering and the earth was on fire, and we all felt something different in each other's eyes.

Privately, we started to get closer.

Lin Yu was too busy, she didn't seem to be willing to stop, she also had capital in her hands, she did a lot of business, and arranged all those relatives to be polite. It's not good or bad, but I can see that she is a bad person, always thinking about "the grace of dripping water, and the spring reciprocation", and always thinking about arranging everything around her properly. In fact, if you want me to say, people are almost the same, sometimes they will always repay the favor, or they don't accept your favor at all, just like her sister Lin Shan, who is good to her, she doesn't know how to be grateful, just because when she left home, Mother Lin's words to let her stay in their house for a night, she tolerated Lin Shan for so long, I don't understand. She takes care of this and that like this, but she can even ignore Qi Qianli, who likes her, like this.

After getting along with Qi Qianli, I feel more and more that Lin Yu should not be cherished. Since she doesn't cherish Qi Qianli, then, I will cherish it.

He has affection for me, and I know it. But he always felt that he still had some ridiculous responsibilities to Lin Yu. Forget it, since there is no emotion, why bind each other?

But finally, they decided to get married! I'm really unwilling, it's clear that I'm the one who runs back and forth every day to deliver food, and it's me who knows him better and likes him! If he is ruthless to me, forget it, just because of that ridiculous responsibility, do you want to marry a woman you don't like against your will? (To be continued.) )
