Chapter 293: Everything is not as good as it should be

On the Luocheng side, Shu Wangjin also helped Wang Huiyuan find a medium-sized embroidery workshop according to what Lin Mei said, and the embroidery workshop was opened by the Shu family in Los Angeles, so he was not afraid of others bullying Wang Huiyuan; After Lin Mei sent Wang Huiyuan over, she was relieved.

But Shu Wangjin is getting busier and busier day by day, Los Angeles has begun to hold a chamber of commerce, and many businessmen from other countries are wandering here, so it is not lively.

Mrs. Zhong, who claimed to be surnamed Lin Fu's family and surnamed Zhong, met by Lin Mei on the street that day, and sure enough, she came to Ding's house a few days later, and even Ding's shopkeeper took her to sit at the table and came out to receive her in person; Of course, Shu Wangjin also took time out of his busy schedule with him.

In the lobby of the Ding family, Mrs. Zhong sat in the first seat, with a graceful and luxurious style, completely different from Mrs. Shu and Leng Ao, Mrs. Zhong gave people a feeling as cordial as a spring breeze; Every time Lin Mei saw her, she always had a feeling that she couldn't help but want to be close.

Mrs. Zhong sat on the first seat high, but she didn't hold a shelf, she just looked at Shu Wangjin with a slight smile and said this softly to him.

Shopkeeper Ding sat on the side and drank a few sips of tea with a smile, and picked up a few words from time to time, and the three of them got along very harmoniously.

"That's right...... Wangjin, why don't you let Wan'er come out? Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to snatch her? Mrs. Zhong lightly covered the corners of her lips with a fan, and joked with Shu Wangjin and Lin Mei, "You can rest assured, Wan'er is such a good girl, I can't bear to let my uncompetitive son come to harm......

Speaking of which, Mrs. Zhong seems to be a little sorry, it seems that this Zhong Gongzi's temperament is indeed a little stubborn, otherwise it would not have given Mrs. Zhong such a headache.

Shu Wangjin definitely wouldn't pick up the second half of Mrs. Zhong's words, so he just didn't hear it. replied to the first half of the words, "If Mrs. meets Miss Lin, I will ask the next person to invite Miss Lin out, and let Miss Lin accompany Mrs. to talk well." ”

"Miss Lin?" Mrs. Zhong frowned in confusion and asked suspiciously, "Is this Miss Lin again?" ”

Shu Wangjin smiled lightly and replied gently. "Madame doesn't know. When Mrs. Zhou helped Mrs. Zhou come to Linshan County, Mrs. Zhou was grateful for Mrs. Zhou's kindness and also to avoid the pursuit of the imperial court. changed Miss Zhou Yanwan's name to 'Lin Mei', and she also became a matchmaker in Linshan County incognito, so she escaped the search of the officers and soldiers above......"

The shopkeeper has also heard of this. Therefore, Shu Wangjin didn't shy away from him very much, not to mention. The two of them have long been in the same boat, so what is there to hide?

Shopkeeper Ding listened silently, knowing that these things had nothing to do with him, so he just kept silent. Be a listener with peace of mind.

Mrs. Zhong listened to Shu Wangjin's explanation, her eyes instantly moistened, and she nodded slowly. "I hated her so much back then...... I just blame her for being stupid. Married to such a husband, but ...... But she always regarded me as a confidant; The group of people back then had long since become a human being, whether it was Qinglai or someone else, she was the only one...... It hasn't changed in decades. It's still the same, I value the relationship back then......"

Shu Wangjin didn't answer, just drank tea quietly with Shopkeeper Ding, not to disturb Mrs. Zhong's memories.

"But I made you laugh......" After a long time, Mrs. Zhong seemed to finish recalling, and when she saw that the atmosphere was a little silent, she laughed again; As if nothing had happened to the unpleasantness just now, "Wangjin, didn't you say that you should ask Wan'er to come over?" ”

Shu Wangjin nodded with a smile and said, "I have already asked someone to invite Miss Lin over, and I can also accompany Mrs. to have a good talk when the time comes." ”

"Wangjin...... I want to take Wan'er to live in my house for a few days, what do you think? Mrs. Zhong looked at Shu Wangjin with a slight smile, her words were gentle, and there was no posture at all; But Shu Wangjin still didn't dare to take it lightly, after all, this lady was not so easy to deal with, and she hadn't seen her for more than ten years, who knew what she was thinking about Lin Mei now?

Seeing that Shu Wangjin was silent and didn't speak, Mrs. Zhong seemed to have an understanding, frowned slightly and said, "Could it be that Wangjin doesn't even worry about me?" That's why I hesitated so much, and I didn't dare to let Wan'er go with me. For a moment he forgot to listen to this man.

The shopkeeper Ding was very familiar with this man, smiled slightly, his eyes were sharp, and he said with a greeting, "The grass people have seen the ...... of the world."

Shu Wangjin had already known the identity of this Zhong Gongzi, but he didn't know that the man Lin Mei met that day was also this Zhong Shizi...... Therefore, he was in a good mood and greeted this Zhong Shizi, "Zhong Shizi...... In the next is the head of the Shu family, and in the future, I will ask the prince to forgive me. ”

Mrs. Zhong seemed to be a little impatient, and she didn't want Shu Wangjin to have more contact with her son, so she took advantage of her face and said, "Bo'er, let's go home...... This is the daughter of Marquis Zhou, Miss Zhou Yanwan, and the fiancée of Master Shu...... I invited her to stay in our house for a few days. Although her words were statements, her tone was a little tough, as if she was afraid that Zhong Shizi would attack Lin Mei.

That Zhong Shizi didn't look at Lin Mei, and didn't hear Shu Wangjin's greeting, he pouted his lips boredly, and responded in a whimsical voice, "Yes, mother, the son knows ......."

Lin Mei quietly walked to Shu Wangjin's side, pulled his sleeves, and asked in a shrunken whisper, "Shu Wangjin, who is this person......

Shu Wangjin saw that Lin Mei was a little scared, and he didn't suspect that Zhong Shizi, he just patted Lin Mei's shoulder and comforted him softly, "Miss Lin, this is the son of Mrs. Zhong, and the son of King Zhennan, one of the four foreign surname princes in our court...... And Mrs. Zhong is the princess of Zhennan. ”

Lin Mei's body trembled, and she couldn't help but grab Shu Wangjin's sleeve.

The identities of these people are unattainable one by one, they are all the old people of her mother and her father, but she doesn't know anything about them, and even a little afraid after knowing their identities, she really ...... Still can't adapt to what will happen after going to the capital in the future, and there are so many nobles to deal with......

"Miss Lin?" Shu Wangjin saw that Lin Mei's eyes were full of fear, and her body trembled slightly, so she couldn't help frowning and looked at her worriedly.

Lin Mei saw Shu Wangjin looking at herself, and she didn't know why she suddenly wanted to cry, she thought that she could escape from the capital and escape from the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion and escape from the identity of the daughter of the Marquis of Anyuan, but ...... In the end, she is too naïve! Even if you go so far away from Los Angeles, you will still meet her mother's acquaintances back then, reminding her over and over again that you are the daughter of Marquis Zhou, and you will always be ...... This is already a brand engraved on you, and you will not be able to escape it for the rest of your life!

"Shu Wangjin, I'...... I don't want to go. Lin Mei whispered beside Shu Wangjin, and then looked up at Mrs. Zhong, who was talking to Zhong Shizi, with a look of guilt on her face.

Shu Wangjin didn't ask Lin Mei why, just nodded and comforted her, "If Miss Lin doesn't want to go, then let the girl go to Mrs. Zhong and say it...... Miss Lin, don't worry, Mrs. Zhong is not an unreasonable person, you don't have to be so afraid. ”

He didn't know that what Lin Mei was afraid of was not Mrs. Zhong at all, but Mrs. Zhong's identity and that Zhong Shizi.

Mrs. Zhong didn't know if she heard what Shu Wangjin and Lin Mei said or something, she looked over at once, and instantly frightened Lin Mei quickly closed her mouth and didn't dare to move. Seeing Lin Mei's frightened appearance, Mrs. Zhong also guessed some reasons, which was nothing more than because she was afraid of her identity as a "princess", so she didn't dare to look at herself.

She was a little sad, looking at Lin Mei's eyes full of sadness and helplessness, Lin Mei suddenly felt that she was also sad, and she couldn't remember her previous resistance to her.

"Mrs. Zhong, let's go...... Mr. Zhong has been waiting for us here for a long time, and I'm really embarrassed to delay any longer. Lin Mei smiled shyly at Mrs. Zhong, then pulled away the hand that Shu Wangjin had been holding her, and walked to Mrs. Zhong's side with firm steps.

Mrs. Zhong originally thought that Lin Mei would not go with her, but she didn't expect her to come by herself, and Mrs. Zhong's face couldn't help but slowly float a slightly sad smile.

"Mother, we should go, otherwise my father will punish me for closing up again when I get back......" Zhong Shizi glanced at Lin Mei in disgust, but when he mentioned the old prince, his face was still a little scared. (To be continued.) )
