Chapter 23: Mung Bean Cake
That night, Linglong knew that there was such a person in this world, and the things he had stolen with great difficulty were not to make money, but to pile up these stolen goods in a room.
Look, I stole everything in that house, and I have a lot of skills!
Everything Linglong did in her previous life was for money, so she couldn't understand this person's mind. When she came to the capital, she finally met the connoisseur, but she was a strange person, Linglong was very sorry, she still didn't know where to receive the stolen goods.
"You said that you are not Qin Kongkong's person, then you must have a name, I can't always call you a little thief."
The two have met for the third time, they have done cases together, they have eaten together, they have shared spoils, and they have shared hardships.
Linglong didn't want him to know that she was a woman, she touched the jade Linglong in her arms through her clothes, isn't that jade Linglong just a ball?
"You can call me Xiaoqiu."
"Balls? It's an interesting name, too. The man laughed.
"And what's your name?"
"My name" The man hesitated for a moment and said, "My surname is Shi, and I am the second in the family, so you can call me Second Brother Shi." ”
Stone two? Linglong knew that he wouldn't give his real name, but everyone was each other, and the name was just a codename.
"Second Brother Shi, there will be a period later."
"There will be a period later, little ball."
Quietly returned to his small courtyard, Linglong washed his body, changed into a homely bean green satin jacket, freshly washed hair with a comb and lilac water carefully cast, half-dried and draped behind his head, the carved window was opened, the Hunan bamboo curtain was picked up, and the night breeze in summer brought a trace of coolness. Occasionally, small insects flew in, circling in front of the candlestick, Xingyu took a fan of Puye to boom, Linglong smiled and told her to leave it alone, go to sleep.
Blowing away the apricot rain, Linglong took out the jade Linglong and the pair of tourmaline pendants, and watched carefully in the candlelight.
She is only twelve years old, although she has memories of her past life, she is still a child, but she knows more things than ordinary children.
Jade Linglong is made into a ball, the sound is pleasant, it is what children like, and this ball is also called Linglong, with the same name as her, Linglong feels very fateful.
She liked the earrings very much, and she thought that her mother should look good when they wore them. Feng's things had already been looted and looted by open and covert, except for the crested hairpin that was snatched back by Linglong from her mother-in-law that day, that is, the three pieces she wanted back from Jin Yuan.
Linglong sighed, put the earrings away, and prepared to give them to her mother tomorrow. The jade Linglong was placed next to the pillow, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
A few days later, Linglong was sitting in the hand-copying porch embroidering, and Xingyu ran in panting, still holding a plate of mung bean cake in her hand.
"Miss, I just went to the kitchen to ask for mung bean cake, guess what I heard?"
"What?" Linglong put down the embroidered bandage, took the mung bean cake and went to the main house, this mung bean cake to cool off the heat and detoxify, to coax her mother to eat two more pieces.
Since the last time Linglong beat Chun Tao and scolded Mama Wang, the notoriety of the fifth lady has spread all over the Jinjiaxi Mansion. This matter also has benefits, that is, the people in all the rooms and places no longer dare to make things difficult for her, what does Xingyu want, whether it is silk cloth or snacks to eat, those people are all smiling faces, for fear of provoking the fifth lady and coming to trouble them.
Just like today's plate of mung bean cake, Xingyu just said it, and someone brought it out with a smile.
Of course, these people are just low-level servants in the house, such as Mama Wang, who have a status, and they will not take this unpowerful fifth lady in their eyes, they have the support of the second wife behind them, and they will not be as knowledgeable as these low-class maids and old mothers.
Linglong walked in front with mung bean cake, Xingyu followed behind, she was sweaty, and the fan in her hand kept shaking.
"I've heard people say that the matter of the third lady falling into the water has finally come to an end, but it is not the Xu family who came to propose marriage!"
"Not the Xu family?" Linglong stopped and turned to look at Xingyu. Since it was a matter of falling into the water, why didn't the Xu family come to propose marriage?
"Speaking of which, this family's family is not worse than the Xu family, and it is the Han family who built the Anbo Mansion."
"Build an Amber Mansion?" Linglong frowned slightly, she didn't know much about the capital, and she didn't know where this Jian'an Mansion was sacred.
"Yes, speaking of which, there is also a knighthood, but I heard that the third lady cried like a tearful child, and knocked over all the snow clam paste that had just been sent."
Linglong was puzzled, maybe it was Jin Yuan who was in love with Xu Tingshen, so she didn't want to agree to other families' family affairs, but Jin Yuan fell into the water, what is the matter with this Jian'an Mansion?
Suddenly, the scene on the painting boat on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival appeared in front of her eyes, by the way, it was not only Xu Tingshen who rescued Jin Yuan, but also a teenager.
That young man was born with a tiger's head, not like a weak scholar, but like a martial arts practitioner.
The Dawu Dynasty cannot be knighted unless it has military exploits, so anyone who has a title is a military general. In this way, it was not the Xu family who gave an explanation to the Jin family, but the young master of the Jian'an Hou Mansion.
"Is that the third sister doesn't want to marry into Bofu?" Linglong asked.
Xingyu suddenly lowered her voice and whispered: "The maid listened to the people in the kitchen, that Jian'an Mansion wanted to accept the third lady as a concubine, not a wife." ”
I see!
Linglong smiled dumbly, Song Xiuzhu and Jin Yuan did their best, thinking that this could force the Xu family to give an explanation, but they didn't expect that it was the Han family who came out to settle the matter, and only gave Jin Yuan the title of a concubine.
But even if this matter spreads, people outside will not say that the Han family is unrighteous, and the third lady of the Jin family is a concubine, and she still promoted her when she entered the Jian'an Mansion as a concubine.
She smiled, took the mung bean cake to see her mother again, but stopped again, and said to Xingyu: "Give me the silver hairpin on your head." ”
Xingyu didn't know why, so she pulled out the hairpin and handed it to Linglong. Linglong wiped the hairpin on the handkerchief, and inserted it on the mung bean cake one by one, to see that the hairpin had not changed, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and returned the hairpin to Xingyu.
"Miss, are you worried that someone will poison you?"
Linglong nodded, after the Han family's incident, Song Xiuzhu is probably even more anxious to improve her status, so that her son and two daughters have a name.
If the father refuses to divorce his wife, then he can only let Feng die.
What Song Xiuzhu hasn't done for so many years is not like she will never do it. The Han family's proposal to marry made her and Jin Yuan humiliated, and the woman was ruthless, and she could do anything.
"In the future, we must be careful about things that we don't cook by ourselves, especially the big wife's diet. That mother-in-law is also reliable in my opinion, but she is timid, such a person is most likely to be forced to do something, where I can't see, you have to think more about it. ”
Xingyu nodded, and tightened her hand holding Linglong Luo's sleeve, she and Miss have been dependent on each other for life all these years, and what Miss entrusted to her, she has to do it even if she fights for her life.
