The two of them walked all the way, Lin Wanrong didn't speak, and the young master didn't dare to speak when he saw Lin San's frowns.

When she returned to her cabin, Lin Wanrong didn't even bother to wipe her face, and lay straight on her back on the bed, always feeling that something was blocked in her heart and she was very uncomfortable. Today, he scolded and beat well, but other than that, he couldn't find a place to comfort himself. Damn, does Lao Tzu think too much of himself? He laughed bitterly and mocked himself.

He groped in his arms for a while, and took out the double-shot musket that Xiao Qingxuan gave him, and the chamber that had just been fired still had the smell of a little gunpowder burning, and it seemed to smell a faint fragrance. This Westerner's musket is extremely exquisite, and the one given to him by Xiao Qingxuan is a fine of the best, and it is rare in the European royal family. And looking at the surprised look of the little prince Zhao Kangning, he should not have seen a musket before. Could it be that Qing Xuan's identity is more noble than Zhao Kangning?

He pondered silently for a while, and then fiddled with the musket. The first time he used this musket today, he almost made a fool of himself, he was not confident in his marksmanship, and he was worried that he would not be able to shoot accurately, so he deliberately fired two shots in a row. The recoil of this musket was strong, and the first shot hit, but the second shot was deflected, which really embarrassed him. However, after seeing the power of the musket, he became more confident, no matter what bullshit master he encountered, he was all low-handed before this musket.

Qingxuan is very good to me, Lin Wanrong only then knew Xiao Qingxuan's good intentions, with this gun in hand, he is not afraid of anyone. He sighed slightly in his heart, remembering the days he spent with Qing Xuan, although the time was short, he was extremely impressed, and he didn't know when he would see her again.

He didn't know what was going on today, he thought about it for a while, his mood was very low, and he fell asleep unconsciously while lying on the bed.

I don't know how much time passed, there was a gentle knock on the door, Lin Wanrong opened his eyes and saw that it was already dark, and he slept so sleepily at such a time.

Lin Wanrong shook his head and smiled bitterly, how did Lao Tzu become like a pig to sleep, he opened the door, and a soft female voice came from outside the door: "Why don't you hold the lamp?" ”

"Because the night is best for thinking." Lin Wanrong grinned, and flashed to welcome the eldest lady into the house.

"Poor mouth!" Xiao Yuruo glanced at him, turned around and found a fire sickle, and gently lit the oil lamp in the room, and the dim oil lamp reflected a faint light on her beautiful face and her body, which was charming and moving.

Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Miss, why are you here?" ”

Xiao Yuruo didn't speak, saw the black marks on his hands and face, frowned and said, "You person, why don't you go to wash?" Dusty, ugly to death. ”

Lin Wanrong shook her head and smiled: "I'm tired, I don't want to move." ”

"If you're tired, I think you'll be lazy and make excuses." The eldest lady gave him a blank look, stood up, walked a few steps with Nana, went outside the room to get a hot towel for him, and said softly: "You wipe it quickly." ”

Lin Wanrong took the towel and wiped it twice, and said with a smile: "It's hard for the eldest lady to serve the tea and pour the water herself, Lin San is grateful." ”

The eldest lady glanced at him and snorted: "You like to mess around all day long, in front of me, and in front of others." I offended Mr. Mei Yanqiu again today, you don't know how much influence she has in Beijing. It's a good thing, we haven't even gone to the capital before we get into trouble with a big guy. ”

Lin Wanrong glanced at her and said, "You know everything?" ”

The eldest lady nodded: "My cousin came back and told me what happened." The little prince won't talk about it, he didn't have a good heart for my Xiao family, and it's not the first time that you have embarrassed him. It's just that this Mei Yanqiu's disciple is a powerful figure in the capital, and if you offend her, we will definitely have trouble in Beijing after the New Year. Speaking of which, it's all Luo Ning's girl's fault—"

Lin Wanrong smiled helplessly: "Miss Guan Luo, what's the matter?" ”

The eldest lady snorted, "If she hadn't invited you, this wouldn't have happened." I think you were fascinated by her, and yesterday you coaxed me that she wouldn't go. ”

Khan, did I coax you, obviously you didn't understand my words. Lin Wanrong shook her head and said, "This has nothing to do with Miss Luo. With my character, as long as I meet this surnamed Mei, sooner or later I will have to come to such a time. ”

The eldest lady knew that what he said was true, and sighed lightly: "Those of us who are in business, in the eyes of those masters, our status is not even as good as that of farmers. This is not a matter of one or two families, it is the atmosphere of the entire Dahua Dynasty, and it cannot be changed by you with one or two sentences. You, who are usually so ghostly and smart, how can you encounter this and be so invisible. ”

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Everyone steps on the uneven road, and if I don't do this, I feel uneasy." ”

The eldest lady said quietly: "I followed my mother to do business at the age of thirteen or fourteen, not to mention the status of a businessman, and I am an orphan and widow, running around, how many white eyes and how many bullies I have been bullied by others, and I can't count them, if we are all like you, how can we still live to this day." ”

The eldest lady remembered the misery of the past, tears faintly filled her eyes, and she said lightly: "You, can't you learn to endure it?" Even if you step on that unevenness, what can you do? Did you win this battle? Scolding is hearty, but it also spoils your own interest. Look at your current appearance, you are very depressed, how is it like Lin San before? I used to worry about the affairs of the Xiao family, I was sad all day long, and my heart was miserable, you told me that depression is a day, happiness is also a day, people must learn to enjoy it. You persuaded me, why did you fall into it again? ”

Lin Wanrong's heart was warm when the eldest lady said these words, he glanced at Xiao Yuruo and said: "Eldest miss, I thought you were here to blame me, but where did I think that you were here to consol, I was so moved that I wanted to cry." ”

Xiao Yuruo's face turned red, and he said stubbornly: "What are you grateful for?" I'm here to reproach you, to see if you dare to offend people casually in the future. ”

The eldest lady had a hard mouth and a soft heart, Lin Wanrong could see it, she was a little moved in her heart, and nodded: "Miss, don't worry, the person surnamed Mei is unkind and will be punished by God." Having said that, no matter how many rich and noble children she has, we may not be soft persimmons. As he said this, he inexplicably remembered the old man in Chinese clothes he met outside the Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou that day, of course, the one who was close at hand recently was Xu Wei, the first person in the dynasty who was hiding somewhere in Jinling. With Old Man Xu and his current friendship, anyone who wants to move Lin San and the Xiao family has to think about it.

"Lin San, my Xiao family has no way out now. If you have offended so many people, others will settle the account on us, and you must not let it go, and the people will not be allowed to leave us in the future. Otherwise, I will turn into a ghost and I will not spare you. The eldest lady said softly.

Khan, this, without me, you would have turned into a ghost a long time ago. Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly: "Miss, it's not as serious as you said." I only have a one-year contract with you, and you can't rely on me for the rest of your life. ”

"Who wants to rely on you for the rest of your life-" The eldest lady snorted lightly: "These things in my family, good and bad things, are all caused by you, if you don't solve it, you are not allowed to go anywhere." If you want that contract, I'll sign it for you for ten or ten years. ”

It turned out that she wanted to renew my contract, this chick was domineering and cunning, Lin Wanrong smiled, changed the topic, and said: "Miss, how is the integration of the Tao family's store?" ”

The eldest lady nodded and said, "After discussing with the stewards, everything is going according to plan." If you're lazy today, don't run away tomorrow, or I'll detain you. Speaking of Buckle Lu, even she couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker.

Speaking of Yulu, Lin Wanrong suddenly thought about it and shouted, "Miss, my perfume should also have a share." ”

The eldest lady smiled and said, "Don't worry, how can I miss you." This month, the net profit of our perfume is about 30,000 taels, and half of your is 15,000 taels. ”

"It's better to talk than nothing - Miss, are you making a fake account?"

"I'm angry with you, you bad guy—" The eldest lady snorted angrily, flicked her sleeves, but accidentally lifted the oil lamp on the table to the ground, and with a soft snap, the twist of the oil lamp was completely extinguished after a few strokes, and the room was suddenly pitch black.

The eldest lady screamed, and the sudden darkness made her at a loss.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Lin Wanrong gently grabbed her and said, "There is me." ”

In the dark, the eldest lady didn't speak for a long time, Lin Wanrong heard her wheezing voice and seemed to be a little strange, and when she looked back, she saw her looking at herself, and there seemed to be water droplets in her eyes.

Lin Wanrong was puzzled, and hurriedly said softly: "Miss, are you okay?" ”

The eldest lady shook her head and smiled: "What can it be, I haven't been angry with you a few times one day, I'm already used to it." ”

Lin Wanrong smiled: "I'm familiar with you, so I can talk like this, and I don't bother to care if others want me to joke." ”

"Lin San, you can rest for your life, I'll come to you early tomorrow morning, you don't have to be lazy." The eldest lady turned her head, pulled the door and walked out. Lin Wanrong was puzzled, but saw the eldest lady turn around and say, "I almost forgot, this is a letter sent to the house at noon, saying that it was for you." ”

She took out an envelope from her arms and handed it to Lin Wanrong, Lin Wanrong said with some surprise: "Who wrote the letter to me?" I don't have many friends in Jinling. ”

The eldest lady said: "You will know if you see it yourself." ”

It was too dark in the house, Lin Wanrong finally fumbled to light the oil lamp, and then looked outside, the eldest lady didn't know when she left, and she had long since disappeared.

He confidently took out the letterhead from the envelope, but it was a small white piece of paper, on which were written two lines of small characters in small letters: "Appreciate the virtue of honesty, and repay it with a grass knot." ”
