It was still early when Linglong left Shuiyue Nunnery, and when she left, she spent two hundred taels of silver to ask for a Diamond Sutra.

Came to the Shuiyue Nunnery, spent nine hundred taels, exquisitely smacked the tongue, no wonder the nuns of the Shuiyue Nunnery were all smooth and slippery, accompanied her to take a stroll, light the lamp, and then give her two jars of spring water, which is equivalent to two or three months of chewing on the West Road.

Princess Rui sat in the carriage and closed her eyes to recuperate, the nine hundred taels did not use the money from the West Road, it was her own private money, and she thought about where to get some money to make up the nine hundred taels.

Her monthly salary is 100 taels, and 900 taels is nine months.

When Linglong was still at her mother's house, she attached great importance to the monthly silver, and she would send the maid to urge three times two days late.

Don't think that the local tyrants will only spend a lot of money, the Jin family understands the true meaning of one or two taels of silver as a tael from the mother's womb.

Princess Rui's nine hundred taels bought hard-won information, as well as what she had to do next.

"Princess, the maid asked in the nunnery, when there is no temple fair, there is also a small market at the foot of the eastern foothills of Xiaofeng Mountain, there are people who invite incense and set up stalls to sell small toys, because most of the people who come to the nunnery are women, and the stalls and shopping there are also women, it is convenient to do business, do you still go shopping?"

When they went up the mountain, they walked to the northern foothills.

Women naturally like to buy things, and they prefer to buy miscellaneous gadgets. What's more, the ladies of large families don't have much opportunity to go shopping.

Linglong's interest came immediately, and she thought that the house on Junyi Street should also be rented out, and there would be at least more than 1,000 taels of income every year, and she could be more relaxed on hand.

That house is full of good memories with Master. She once committed a crime against the wind in order to buy the house back, and appeared on the six-door hundred flowers list that year with the name of a nameless thief, but that was all in the past, the master was in her bed, she did not have the refined temperament of a literary young woman, make full use of the commemorative house, and earn more silver in order to live up to the master-apprentice relationship.

Thinking of the extra rent of more than 100 taels of silver every month in the future, she was in a good mood, and said to Xingyu: "Okay, let's see if there is a rouge buckle made of shells like the fourth sister." There are also small purses with coconut shells. ”

The carriages and horses of the Rui Wang's Mansion were still parked in front of the willow forest not far from the hermitage. The guards were arranging their saddles and getting ready to get on their horses, and the maids who had not yet boarded the carriage were all excited when they heard that they were going to take a detour to the market, and they could be heard gossiping through the curtains. Linglong didn't hear the sound of smoke.

Her heart moved. Let Xingyu call Yanxia into her carriage. asked: "Think about it, have you ever heard your mother and your brother mention what Aunt You said?" ”

Yanxia didn't expect the princess to suddenly ask her this, and she was stunned. The corners of the mouth are twinning.

Linglong smiled slightly, watching the early spring scenery through the gap in the curtains, and said in a light tone: "You still hope that your mother and your brother will recognize you back, even if I don't want your ransom money, I'm afraid they don't have the courage to do so." ”

The carriage was covered with a thick carpet, and Yanxia knelt down with a puff: "Princess, the maid is dead, really dead." The servant is a princess in this life, except for that kind of subordinate place, where you send me down, the servant is all willing. ”

At first, Linglong put her in Xiling Zhuangzi, she was still unwilling, otherwise she would not show her tone to her brother, maybe when her brother took her out, she was quite happy, but she didn't expect her brother to sell her out.

Linglong smiled and said: "You may not know, after you came to the palace, I asked people to report the case to the official mansion, suing your brother for abducting the official eunuch slave, and now the Xifu has given me your deed, if your brother is caught, the responsibility will be added to the second level, he abducted not the official eunuch slave, but the prince's mansion." ”

Linglong didn't scare Yanxia, she really made people report to the official.

It's one thing for someone to get it back, it's another thing for you to kidnap someone, and if you dare to kidnap me, you're looking for death. Besides, you didn't give me the money you paid for selling your sister.

Yanxia was stunned, according to the laws of Dawu, civilians abducted official eunuchs and domestic slaves, whether they were sentenced to prison or not, they would be rewarded with fifty boards first. As for what the crime of abducting the prince's domestic slave is, Yanxia doesn't know yet, and will only be sentenced to a heavier sentence.

Although she hated her brother for being ruthless and unjust, and also complained that her mother ignored her daughter for the sake of her son, she still couldn't bear it when she thought that her brother was really arrested by the government and suffered from the fifty boards, and she was afraid that he would die.

Seeing that there were tears in her eyes, Linglong guessed that she was frightened, so she said: "Just say what you think of, you are not small, find a good family for you to marry in a few years, if you still want to be filial to your mother, take her back to retire and send her to the end." ”

"Princess, can the maid really be released to marry?" Yanxia has always felt that she had offended the princess before, and when she is old in the future, she will look an eyesore, and she is afraid that she will be sold.

Linglong said: "Although you were sent by the Gan family, the deed is in my hands, and it is similar to my dowry maid." How can the second-class maid in my house get married, and you will follow that standard. But if you are poor and white, have a bad character, or want to accept you as a concubine, I will not agree. ”

Yanxia didn't expect to be killed, she followed the princess out on a trip, and she could hear the princess's words, what is she, when she was in the Jin family, she was just a rough girl who picked up flowers and plants, and she had harmed the princess, but now she can get the princess's promise, she was ashamed, she didn't know what to say, she whimpered and cried, and she couldn't stop kowtowing on the weaving carpet.

Linglong smiled: "Okay, such a big girl, when it comes to getting married, she is happy to be like this, don't let those two little jokes go." ”

Yanxia wiped her tears and straightened up, but she was still kneeling.

Linglong said to Xingyu: "Let's go on the road." ”

Xingyu poked her head out of the curtain of the carriage, shouted outside, and the carriage moved slowly.

Xingyu turned around and saw that Yanxia was still kneeling there, but said with a smile: "Don't kneel stupidly, do you remember what the princess asked you before?" ”

Yanxia's face was swollen red, and she snorted: "My mother and my brother talked behind my back, and I told the princess everything I knew, but today"

Xingyu is an anxious child, and when she saw Yanxia talking in a hurry, she scolded: "You won't be cool, like this all day long, no wonder people sell you as a pig." ”

Yanxia's face turned even redder, and after a while, she said, "I maybe, as if, I may have seen that person and looked at the side of the face, or maybe not." ”

Linglong's brows moved slightly: "Which person?" ”

"It's the nun who bought me from that man"

"Did you really see that nun, in the Suigetsu Nunnery?" Linglong asked.

"I don't know if it's or not, it's just a trance, I look like, the inscription for you is hanging on the stone steps, one of them was blown away by the wind, the maid went to pick it up, and saw a clean room under the hillside, two nuns came out of the clean room one after the other, one of them, like the person who bought me, but I didn't see it clearly."
