Chapter 4 The daughter of the head of the household

On Yanhua Street, Xin Yan took Wei Xiaochun to Yinhua Building, and before he could enter, he heard a female voice inside: "Shopkeeper, what do you mean by this?" I actually let a little girl who doesn't know anything perfunctory my young lady. ”

The shopkeeper of Yinhua Building said in a loud voice: "How dare you, Miss Lin also saw it, I really can't leave this store, otherwise I will entertain you in person." ”

Lin Jingshu saw the shopkeeper's nodding appearance, and the anger in her heart disappeared a little, but she still disliked this little girl's clumsiness: "For the sake of the shopkeeper, forget it, but you have to take out good things, this can't be perfunctory to me." ”

She went out of the house this time to buy jewelry, and it stands to reason that this kind of thing should not be done by her, but because her father was promoted, she will soon move to the capital, in order not to be compared with the young ladies of those wealthy families in the capital, she begged her mother, so that her mother let her go out of the house to buy jewelry by herself.

"That is, quickly take out all the good things, it must be the best of the best." The maid beside Lin Jingshu said.

As soon as Xin Yan entered the door, it was such a scene, but she entered the door from the other side, so she didn't have any intersection with Lin Jingshu.

Xin Yan and the others came to a room on the second floor, and there was already a person inside.

The man looked to be in his thirties, dressed in a dark robe with wide sleeves, and when he saw the visitor, he stood up to greet him: "Girl." ”

"Mr. Su has been waiting for a long time."

"Where, where, the girl passed the word a few days ago that she was going to come over, and asked me to release the news, but I have to act." Su Qiwen led Xin Yan to her seat and poured her a glass of water.

After receiving her message, he had a hunch that that day was not far away.

Xin Yan picked up the cup and drank it, smiled slightly and said, "Thanks to Mr. Su's help over the years, my plan can be implemented in advance, and I still want to thank Mr. Su here." ”

Where does Su Qiwen dare to be greedy, now he seems to be beautiful, he is in charge of many industries in Dajin, and he is making money every day.

But those real masters are this Miss Xin, and hurriedly said: "The girl has raised Su, if it weren't for the girl believing in Su and handing over the property in her hand to Su to take care of, how could Su have such achievements now." ”

Xin Yan said: "Mr. Su doesn't need to be modest, I have seen your merits over the years, and I will have to trouble Mr. Su a lot in the future." ”

"How dare you take the word trouble." Su Qiwen asked again: "The girl asked me to release the news that you have a thousand-year-old Ice Toad Snow Lotus in your hand, and many people have come to inquire these days, but what are your plans next?" ”

"Is there anyone from the prefect of Yancheng among them?" Xin Yan asked.

Su Qiwen thought about it in his mind for a while, and then remembered that someone was indeed secretly inquiring a few days ago, and said in a deep voice: "The people from the prefect are indeed secretly inquiring, could it be that the girl's target is the prefect?" ”

"Well, since he is only in the dark now, then we don't need to worry, just release the news, saying that I will sell the Ice Toad Snow Lotus after a while and let them find the door by themselves." Xin Yan said.

"Yes."

"Then I'll go first." After Xin Yan finished speaking, he took Wei Xiaochun and left, but accidentally bumped into Lin Jingshu when he went down the stairs.

It could have been avoided, but for some reason Lin Jingshu was talking to the maid, and she didn't see anyone else, and when she turned around, she only heard a 'clang', and the bracelet on the ground was broken into three pieces.

Looking at the bracelet that has just been carefully selected has now become a waste product on the ground, this is a fine exquisite jade bracelet, worth five hundred taels.

Lin Jingshu's heart was so painful that she was dripping blood, and screamed: "Where did you come from, do you want to find Miss Ben's bad luck?" "Then you have to start beating people.

And Wei Xiaochun protected Xin Yan behind him as early as when she was bumped, grabbed Lin Jingshu's hand at this time, and replied: "Where did the mad dog come from, biting people here." ”

"Okay, a lowly girl still dares to scold me, do you know who Miss Ben is, Miss Ben must teach you two wild girls who have no respect today. Yingxiang, call me. Lin Jingshu finally pulled her hand out, thinking that this girl had so much strength that she could only let Yingxiang do it.

The surrounding customers were attracted by the movement here, and they saw that the woman not only wanted to beat people herself, but also ordered her maid to beat people.

Although Yancheng is more open than other local people, there is no beating in public.

Seeing that the girl rolled up her sleeves and her fist was about to fall on the girl in front of her, everyone couldn't help but gasp and pray for the girl.

Unexpectedly, no screams were heard.

Wei Xiaochun grabbed Yingxiang's hand tightly with one hand, and gave her a backhand slap with lightning speed, the crisp sound broke the abnormal calm, Yingxiang was knocked to the ground, her face was quickly swollen, and five finger prints appeared.

And they thought to themselves, "What a great force this must be?"

Lin Jingshu reacted, it was not the two cheap girls who were knocked down, but her own maids, although she was angry again, she didn't dare to do it again, so she had to point at the two of them and gritted her teeth and said:

"You two stinky girls still dare to beat people, are you impatient, do you know who my father is, my father is the incoming head of the household, you two are waiting to eat in prison."

"You still dare to speak out of your mouth, believe it or not......" Wei Xiaochun was stopped by Xin Yan before he finished speaking.

She took a step forward, looked at Lin Jingshu, and said calmly: "This young lady, it was indeed my person just now who didn't know how important it was, so even if the bracelet just now was with me, do you think so?" ”

Lin Jingshu looked at Xin Yan, dressed in a plain dress, and only had a hairpin pinned on her head, so she looked down on Xin Yan a little in her heart, and said in her heart: It's just a wild girl who came out of nowhere.

In her heart, Xin Yan's dress is not as good as the terrifyingly stinky girl just now.

At least there is one more pearl hairpin on the stinky girl's head, seeing Xin Yan's words, there is a feeling of being big and transformed, and now he doesn't take them seriously, but he is still afraid of the girl just now, and he doesn't dare to do it again.

"I'm not the kind of arrogant and unreasonable person, as long as you two give me a thousand taels for the bracelet, and now kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistakes, I will let you go without remembering the villain." In Lin Jingshu's eyes, such a small person in the market can't even match the original price of the bracelet, let alone the "huge amount" of 1,000 taels.

But Lin Jingshu doesn't care, who let the girl just now dare to do that to herself, then she naturally won't let them have a good time, she can already see the two people in front of her crying bitterly, begging to let them go.

Xin Yan was already thinking about it when she just said that she was the daughter of Hubu Shangshu, and after a while, she knew that the person in front of her was the only daughter of Hubu Shangshu - Lin Jingshu.

If you want to say why you know, you have to start with this Tobe Shangshu.

This Hubu Shangshu's real name is Lin Feng, and he is the third young master of the Huaihua General's Mansion, which is also strange to say.

It stands to reason that the young master of the General's Mansion should also be a martial artist, after all, there is the shadow of the ancestors, if learning martial arts is not as difficult as those civilian children, it is usually recommended by his family to enter the military camp, and this has to be said, generally speaking, there are only two ways for civilians to become officials:

First, meritorious service, for the court meritorious people, can be crowned with official positions, but this is easier said than done, ordinary people worry about their food, clothing, housing and transportation all day long.

Farmers, busy farming, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Workers, busy making money. What can ordinary people do to make meritorious contributions? Bandits? Development of water conservancy? Stealing enemy defense maps? As you can imagine, few people have been able to cross this road for hundreds of years.

And this second is the imperial examination, civilians can pass the examination, all the way to the scientific examination, and the title of the gold list is the official robe. This is also the most common promotion road in Dajin, it is said that ten years of hard work, seize the day, although it is difficult, but it is much easier than the first one.

However, there is also an unwritten rule in the Great Jin Dynasty, where a wealthy nobleman or his ancestors have meritorious fame, their descendants can be directly crowned officials without scientific examination.

Now although the Great Jin Dynasty also follows this regulation, but it is also implemented in accordance with this regulation, after all, this practice does more harm than good, so most of the children of wealthy families have also participated in the imperial examination, even if they have passed this level on the surface, as long as the results are not very bad, they can basically go down to the officialdom.

Then again, most of the reason why this third young master did not follow the path of a military attache is that she has been weak since she was a child, and she was enlightened at the age of three, and her eldest brother can draw a bow and a sword at the age of five, and this young master can't even tie a horse until he is eight years old.

His father, General Huaihua, invited famous teachers from all over the world, but in the end he said one sentence: This third young master is not born to practice martial arts.

At this point, his father gave up, and since Wu couldn't go, he could only go Wen.

But this third young master is also a strange person, no matter where the famous teachers and bachelors are, they all sighed and left after teaching for less than half a month, and they all said one sentence when they left: I have never seen such a stupid person.

At this time, everyone in Kyoto knows that this third young master of Huaihua Jinjun Mansion is a waste material who can't write and can't do martial arts.

And the Huaihua general also felt that his face was gloomy, and when he was eighteen years old, he had a petty official for him, a small official with a sesame seed, or it could be said that there was none, and then he was thrown to the north and left him to fend for himself.

Since then, the people in the mansion have been very secretive about this third young master, as if there is no such person.

And Xin Yan naturally knew more than others when he knew about it, and he also knew that things were not exactly as rumored by the outside world.

After all, if this third young master is really not a martial artist, how can he climb to today's position step by step, there are many unknown things in it.

Thinking of this, when I heard Lin Jingshu's words, I smiled slightly:

"Miss Lin, I think you misunderstood, before you paid the money, the bracelet was not yours, and according to the color of this bracelet, it was only four or five hundred taels, and it was directly doubled as soon as you opened your mouth, but it was really a lion's mouth." And the reason why my people just made a move is also because your maid wants to do it, and we are just protecting ourselves. ”

Lin Jingshu just wanted to refute, but heard Xin Yan and said: "Since you said that Ling Zun is about to serve as the head of the household, how would Ling Zun feel if he knew that you were 'dirty' at the exit outside?" Even if your father doesn't care, the imperial history of the imperial court will not be easily exposed if he knows it, and it is indispensable to participate in Ling Zun's family education is not strict, and the door style is not right, and it is difficult to say whether Ling Zun can be the head of the household at that time. ”

In fact, it is okay to deceive the ignorant little girl with this statement, and anyone with a little brain knows that it is not a matter of one or two sentences that can decide whether this official will rise or fall, as long as it is not the official himself who has committed a serious crime, it will not hurt, at most add some gossip.

But Lin Jingshu obviously believed most of it, not that she was stupid, but she had been told by her mother not to cause any trouble recently, this time was a critical moment, even her father told her, thinking of her father's oozing face, Lin Jingshu was still afraid, although her father loved her very much, but he was also very strict in major matters......

"You, don't think I'll just leave it at that, Yingxiang, let's go." If Lin Jingshu threw it off, it was not a threat, and left with Yingxiang, and the figure seemed to be running away.

The people around looked at the domineering young lady who was coaxed by this little girl, and they were surprised in their hearts, it seems that this rich lady is not so smart. Xin Yan didn't know what others thought, and he also took Wei Xiaochun back to his house.
