Chapter 20 Self-reliance - Clever Help
Ling'er looked at this situation and sneered in her heart, "I played the trick of stealing beams and changing pillars again, and my cheap dad in front of me seems to be fooling me as a teenager." He was very angry in his heart, threw out a book casually, and smashed it directly on the face of Ji Ran, who was crying pear blossoms with rain, and said indifferently: "Look at what this is?" ”
Ji Ran looked at it, and his face was as frightened as ashes, and he was about to tear the book as soon as he grabbed it.
Qing Qingqing, who was standing on the side, was on guard in the morning, and hurriedly rushed forward to snatch the book back.
Yuan Ling'er took advantage of Qingxi to bring Ji Ran's master and servant over, so he sent Qingqing to find an excuse to look for evidence in Yiran Garden, but he didn't want Qingqing to look for it all over and saw nothing beneficial. Seeing that there was a medicinal book with flowers and plants on the bedside table, he took it back casually, but at this time it became the best evidence.
Ling'er looked at Ji Ran in front of her and said slowly: "The broken intestine grass may have been given to Zhang's mother by the girl, but what is my sister reading this medicine book for every day, do you still want to be a female bodhisattva who practices medicine to save the world?" ”
Although these words were said to Ji Ran, didn't they slap him in the face in Ji Qian's ears. That Ji Qian originally wanted to lead the matter to the girl and find a scapegoat to help Ji Ran, but at this time, seeing that the matter was unavoidable, he had to pretend to be angry and said: "Ran'er, you really did this?" ”
Ji Ran had already lost her arrogance at this time, but she looked at herself clearly, how could she bow her head, stared at Ling'er viciously with a pair of apricot eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "She hurt my mother." ”
Ji Qian was also really annoyed at this time, she actually arrived at this step of the field, if she lowered her head and admitted her mistake, she could still protect her. But in the current situation, it is necessary to give Ling Yatou an explanation, so he said: "It seems that you have to think about your mistakes, come here, open a small room in Yiran Garden, the doors and windows are sealed, and only one outlet can be used to deliver food, and the eldest lady needs to think alone for a month." ”
When Ji Ran heard his father say this, he was so shocked that he cried and begged: "The wedding date between Ran'er and Rui Wangfu is approaching, and my father can't treat Ran'er like this." ”
Although Ji Qian had just said that, he was very sad in his heart at this time, but the matter had come to this point, so he had to say: "I won't delay your marriage, so I can close my door and think about the past, which will also be very helpful for you to marry into the Rui Wangfu in the future." With that, he got up and left. Behind him, although Ji Ran shouted again and again, he just ignored it.
The guards in the mansion stepped forward to drag Ji Ran away and arranged according to Ji Qian's instructions.
And Zhang Ma and Hongyu were both beaten and sold after being beaten for twenty boards.
Ling'er saw that although Ji Qian's punishment was still unfair, it was also extremely harsh on Ji Ran, and it was not good to say anything. There is still more than a month to marry into the Hengwang Mansion, and it is just a matter of seeking peace at this time.
After this incident, Ling'er rested for a few more days before relieving herself, and after thinking about it for a long time, she called a few people in the courtyard to the front and said: "I originally wanted to release you all before I married into the Hengwang Mansion, but now it seems that it is better to let you go early." So he returned everyone's deed of sale except for Qingxi, and gave each person a hundred taels of silver.
Nuo'er suddenly knelt down and said: "The maid has been sold since she was a child, and she doesn't remember where her family is.
Among these people, Ling'er is the most reluctant to leave this Nuo'er, although Nuo'er has not been by her side for a long time, but she is meticulous and intimate, and she looks a little similar to her sister in her previous life, and she feels kind when she looks at it. Hearing her say this, she nodded happily.
Qingqing's parents were still alive, and in the famine years, they had to sell her to others as a maidservant in order not to starve to death; Wang's mother also has a wife alive, and both of them were taken out by their families after thanking them.
Since then, the three people in Lingxi Courtyard have cared for each other and are like sisters.
On this day, Ling'er got up early in the morning to stretch her muscles and bones in the yard, and only felt stiff and uncomfortable after lying in bed for too long.
Qingxi looked at her young lady's radiant appearance, and couldn't help but praise: "Miss is better looking than before, and her skin is no more than that." His Royal Highness King Heng came over another day, and I really want to thank His Royal Highness for his Yuxu ointment.
Ling'er knew that what Qingxi said was the truth, but she didn't want to admit that King Heng was too attentive to herself, although she promised to marry into King Heng's mansion, but it was very contradictory to say how deep her feelings were for him, I am afraid that there are more elements of gratitude, friendship is greater than love, who knows what will happen in three years, thinking like this, since I thought about it for a while.
"Who said that I want to thank this king, this king has come to receive the reward today." I don't know when, King Heng has already appeared at the gate of the courtyard. Today, Ning Yiheng is dressed in white, with a finger-wide gold-rimmed brocade belt around his waist, and his long body is jade, ** dignified.
Ling'er came back to her senses when she heard the voice, and pointed at Qingxi casually and said, "What she said, you ask her to ask for a reward, but I don't have it." ”
Even if he teased Nuo'er, who was doing the work next to him, he couldn't bear it, and he laughed out loud.
Qingxi was slightly blessed at this time, and stood beside him in a sneering manner, not knowing what to say for a while.
Seeing this, Ling'er said, "Why don't you pour water and serve tea to your benefactor?" ”
Qingxi listened to the order and ran away in a hurry.
King Heng saw that after these days of cultivation, Ling'er's expression was even more colorful than in the past, his eyes couldn't be moved, he couldn't help but see God, and said for a while: "What are you doing here?" ”
Ling'er kicked her legs and said: "Move your muscles and bones, even if you can't beat others in the future, it's good to be able to withstand the beating." ”
When King Heng heard her say this, he didn't laugh, but he didn't laugh and felt quite funny.
Ling'er exercised for a while and stopped, and the two went into the house to drink tea and talk. King Heng said: "There was another incident in the Lingxi Courtyard the day before yesterday, I didn't take good care of it, do you need my help." Ning Yiheng has always been very clear about what happened in Lingxi Courtyard, but Ling'er did not go to Heng Wang's Mansion for help as he said, because he also knew that Ling'er was not like that ordinary woman, and he did not dare to make his own decisions.
Ling'er groaned: "It's all over, it's better that you don't interfere in such a thing." If you don't intervene, it's just a simple discord between the prime minister's house, and if you are involved, things will be much more complicated. ”
King Heng just brought the tea to his lips, and when he heard Ling'er say such words, he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "Since she is a daughter raised in the boudoir, it is really rare for her to have such a comprehensive opinion. "I cherish it a little more.
"But the ointment you sent is really good, the skin of my scar is all back to its original state, or better than before, in order to show a little gratitude, I will cook and invite you to rub it today." Ling'er said briskly.
"Rub it?" King Heng was stunned, but thinking that since she said that she was cooking, she would leave herself to eat, and the feeling of happiness in her heart suddenly doubled.
"Ling'er has a treat, how can I miss Brother Mu." A gentle baritone remembered, and Mu Chenfeng immediately jumped into the hospital.
Seeing that King Heng couldn't hide his displeasure, Mu Chenfeng hurriedly waved his folding fan and said with a smile: "I didn't come uninvited, it was Ling'er who sent someone to inform me that I needed help, so I just took time out of my busy schedule to come over." ”
Ling'er saw Mu Chenfeng's deteriorating appearance, and said coldly: "Take time out of your busy schedule, since Brother Mu is so busy, you don't have to come, I'll find someone else." ”
Mu Chenfeng hurriedly folded the folding fan and explained to Ling'er: "Not busy, not busy, Ling'er has something, I can put aside everything as a brother, Ling'er's matter is the most important thing." ”
Ling'er looked at him so flatteringly, pursed her lips and smiled, turned around and walked outside, saying as she walked: "I'll cook, let's wait." ”
King Heng was a little depressed at this time, the princess who had not passed through the door had something to find an outsider, not himself, which showed that this beauty's mind was not all on herself, and she was quite lost.
Mu Chenfeng was very proud at this time, and Ling'er had already told him when she asked him for help, "The reason for agreeing to marry into the palace is to get out of the prime minister's mansion, and it is also to solve the problems of King Heng for a while." Mu Chenfeng gave it up at the beginning, thinking that Ling'er's mind was on King Heng, but today I saw that she didn't give her heart to King Heng, because she still had a chance within three years, such a beautiful woman is really something you can meet but can't seek.
The two of them had their own thoughts, but they were silent, and the atmosphere in the room was quite strange. Qingxi came in to add water, looked at the situation in front of him, and stood for a while before retreating.
Ling'er was busy in the kitchen, and when she saw Qingxi coming in, she asked, "Didn't you let you serve in the living room, why did you come back again?" ”
Qingxi said: "Those two don't talk or drink water, I think it's better for me not to go in." ”
Ling'er stopped with his hand, and he had already guessed a few points in his heart, so he didn't care about it and continued to be busy. A few dishes made today are: fish-flavored shredded pork, back to the pot pork, mapo tofu, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and a West Lake beef soup. Especially this tofu is made by Ling'er herself, it turns out that there is no tofu in this big week, because she is hungry for tofu for a while, Ling'er makes it herself according to her memory, and it feels good. Considering that Qingxi and Nuo'er were naturally reluctant to serve with their own people, they deliberately left a copy of each of them. I was grateful, and I only felt that where this master was the master, it was like my own sister.
When the food came up, the two of them were still deadlocked, and when they smelled the fragrance, according to their past experience, there must be rare food today, and they were eager to try it early. Ling'er looked at the demeanor of the two of them next to her, and said in her heart: "If you don't say that you want to capture a man's heart, first grab a man's stomach, but unfortunately these two are not good people, and good friends are barely counted." ”
Ling'er said politely: "Please, two!" He introduced those dishes one by one, and when he introduced mapo tofu, Mu Chenfeng couldn't help but put a piece into his mouth. Who knew that the tofu didn't look hot on the outside, but it was very hot inside, and it was spicy, which made the head and face of a handsome boy red. Seeing this, Ling'er laughed "haha" and said, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, probably because you're like this." ”
King Heng saw that Mu Chenfeng was embarrassed, and his heart was balanced, and he tasted slowly one by one, the fish-flavored shredded meat lived up to its name, the meat was fat but not greasy, the mapo tofu was spicy and soft, the sour and hot potato shreds were even more flavorful, and the final soup was endlessly memorable. These ingredients are extremely ordinary, I don't know why when they come into the hands of this little girl, they conjure up so many tricks.
Mu Chenfeng ate enough wine and food, Fang stopped his chopsticks and said: "Ling'er is good at craftsmanship, if there is anything in the future, just say it, and be on call for my brother." ”
Ling'er said in her heart: "The young master of the dignified Yinlou will compromise for these few foods, and there is no interest." He replied: "Brother Xie Mu praises, next time I will make you more delicious." Turning around and seeing King Heng's dark face, he didn't feel his neck shrink, and said busily: "The reward has been given, and now it's time to help me." ”
As he spoke, he entered the room, and after a while, he took out two pieces of paper and put them on the table.
Mu Chenfeng and King Heng Qi looked at the piece of paper, only to see that there were some strange things painted on it, all of which they had never seen before.
Ling'er didn't care about their surprised eyes, pointed to the graphics on one of the pieces of paper and said, "I'm going to make these utensils, I have already marked the specific sizes, just do it according to them." ”
It turns out that since Ling'er came to this dynasty, she has always thought that she must be self-reliant, which is also the education of her parents in her previous life for more than 20 years. After these days, I have seen it clearly, and there is no need to say anything about it in the Prime Minister's Mansion. His prime minister's father has no affection for him at all, and he expects him to raise him, so he has cheated his two favorite women by himself, and I'm afraid I will have to be wary of him in the future. King Heng in King Heng's Mansion may not treat himself badly for the time being, but who can say that in the future. He still really likes himself, but which man in this dynasty is not three wives and four concubines, even if he can tolerate it, he can eat in the Hengwang Mansion and wait for death, it is difficult to guarantee that one day people will not like it and sweep himself out. So after thinking about it, Ling'er still thinks that it is serious to have the ability to support a family, and it is all floating clouds to expect men or something.
So Ling'er thought of her old profession - a surgeon, she has also noticed it in this capital, although there are many medical centers, but the threshold is very high, and ordinary people rarely can afford to see a doctor. And in this dynasty, not to mention the backwardness of medical skills, it is not difficult to make a living or have a slight surplus with their own medical skills. Previously, she had been suffering from her mobility problems, and she couldn't do all kinds of things. Now the two in front of them can help themselves for the time being, so there is the above scene.
Ling'er handed the piece of paper to Mu Chenfeng and said, "Brother Mu should have a lot of friends in the rivers and lakes, so I bother you to do it." Mu Chenfeng took the paper, folded it and stuffed it into his arms.
Ling'er looked at King Heng, who was full of displeasure on the side, and said clearly: "His Royal Highness King Heng, can you also do Ling'er a favor?" ”
Seeing that Ling'er asked so politely, King Heng felt quite sour in his heart, and said lightly: "Ling'er, please say, I will do my best." ”
Seeing what he said seriously, Ling'er couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's not a big deal." As he spoke, he took another piece of paper and said, "The prince will ask someone to make some of these chairs, and then please pick up the suitable houses for Ling'er and buy a few, and I will pay you the silver after pawning my mother's dowry." ”
King Heng couldn't help but look at her hesitantly, Ling'er saw her expression, knew that she understood what she meant, and hurriedly said: "This house is not for me to live in, I am used to run a medical center." ”
For a while, Mu Chenfeng and Ning Yiheng looked at each other, with questions on their faces: "The medical hall wants these strange things, when will she, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, learn medical skills?" ”
Ling'er saw the situation of the two, just ignored it, and said lightly: "Within seven days, I will bother the two of you to help Ling'er get things done." ”
