CHAPTER XXXV
If she had hated this thousand-year-old Ice Emperor with a cold face before, she still chose to believe him in this matter, especially after listening to that long story.
Mei Shuang sighed, that's it, although Nangong Nuo said that she liked herself, but whether that liking contained other impure things, she really didn't dare to speculate now.
She is no one now, not the daughter of the high-ranking prime minister, just an ordinary passerby.
"Be careful."
These are the words of the Ninety-Five Venerable before leaving the palace.
Meishuang returned to the bed, untied the small burden she had brought with her, a few changes of clothes, and the silver ticket hidden in the clothes was all her belongings.
Now that I've been in this humble inn for two days, where do I go next?
Meishuang lay on the cramped hardwood bed, bored, and could do nothing but put her hands behind her head and look at the dilapidated roof.
When she lay down until her back and legs hurt, she got up, carried a small burden, went to the guy in the front hall to settle the room bill with broken silver, and then inquired about the surrounding geographical environment.
When she learned that there was a ferry to the south in this town, Meishuang's mind moved.
Seeing that it was getting late, Meishuang decided to stay another night.
In the evening, Meishuang picked a clean private room in the inn, and when she was waiting for the second child of the inn to serve food, she suddenly opened the door curtain.
Mei Shuang thought it was the shopkeeper who came, and when she picked up the chopsticks, she heard a drunken and very unkind voice, "I said where did this kid come from, dare to occupy Uncle Ben's room?" β
Mei Shuang turned her head, and a young man dressed in Ayaluo was holding the wine jar in one hand and staring at her with red eyes, while behind was a guy who was serving a dish with a wry smile on his face, carefully persuading him, "Lin Gongzi, you see that there are already guests in this room, can I arrange another one for you?" β
"Ben Gongzi - I want to sit here today!" The man known as "Lin Gongzi" staggered in and waved to drive Meishuang away.
The guy had to persuade again, Mei Shuang saw that this guy was reasonable, and said that more things are better than less, and then got up.
The guy's face was full of gratitude, but when Meishuang and that Lin Gongzi passed by, Lin Gongzi grabbed her, and sprayed a mouth full of wine on Meishuang's face, "I said, you just left?" What's the matter with chopsticks in your hand? You take the chopsticks away, what do I use? β
When Meishuang heard it, isn't this nothing to do? was about to speak, but he couldn't help sneezing because of the heavy smell of alcohol on the other party's body, and he happened to face Lin Gongzi.
Pulling and pulling, Meishuang was embarrassed.
There is no reason to talk about it with a drunk person, Mei Shuang shook off Lin Gongzi's hand vigorously, and when he was about to go out, Lin Gongzi reluctantly reached out to block Mei Shuang's way.
It didn't matter, his hand was directly on Meishuang's chest.
Mei Shuang shrank back like an electric shock, and that Lin Gongzi seemed to be stunned for a moment, and his hazy eyes were a little puzzled.
shitοΌ
Mei Shuang was annoyed and angry, and unceremoniously slapped Lin Gongzi's delicate face.
With a "snap", the room suddenly fell silent.
Before that Lin Gongzi came back to his senses, he heard a crisp voice outside, "Who dares to beat my son-in-law?" β
Before the words fell, the man had arrived.
The round face, the delicate figure, especially the fiery red short-dressed shirt is very eye-catching.
She first circled around the stunned Lin Gongzi, her eyes swept over Lin Gongzi's face that obviously had five fingers, and then she looked at Mei Shuang, who was slightly red, looked up and down, and snorted, "Who should I be?" With such a face, it must be from out of town, right? Don't look at what kind of place this is, dare to attack my son-in-law, I think you're tired of living."
Such a bull boom suddenly hooked out the anger of Meishuang, and the smaller the place, the more arrogant the people became.
She was about to get angry, but she was stopped by the guy who ran away, and whispered in her ear, "Little brother, stop your anger, you can't be angry after having a meal, hurry up and make amends, this Lin family has a big business here, don't you dare to offend." β
Mei Shuang scolded from the bottom of her heart, she encountered this bad thing as soon as she left the capital, and she could also eat a lawsuit after a meal. However, looking at the guy running the hall, he could only grit his teeth secretly, "I'm sorry!" β
"Excuse me?" The woman's nostrils were soaring, and she looked like she was sΓ¨, "A loud slap in exchange for a fluttering sorry, you're sorry and it's too valuable, right?" If you don't come up with a thousand or eight hundred taels of silver today, you will wait to go to jail. β
This kind of lion's wide opening makes the surrounding diners gasp, which is obviously slanderous!
However, due to the power of the Lin family, no one dared to speak.
"No money." Meishuang said decisively.
"No?" The woman smiled, "Look at your fine skin and tender meat, you must have never done any work, right?" In this way, let's go to our Lin family and work until we are still working. β
Unexpectedly, Lin Gongzi woke up as if he was drunk, and pulled the arrogant woman, "Hey, forget it." β
These words made Meishuang stunned.
The woman glared at Lin Gongzi instead, and said, "Look at your appearance, Si'er said that if you don't like it, you came here to buy drunk, and you were beaten and cowardly." No wonder even Si'er dislikes you and our Lin family's face, and you are embarrassed. β
At the mention of Si'er, Lin Gongzi's face turned pale and he looked annoyed.
Mei Shuang realized that it was a lovelorn man who came to buy drunk, but in the end, Mei Shuang followed the fierce Lin family sisters and brothers.
Sitting in the carriage, Lin Gongzi had a sad face, and Mei Shuang was silent.
Lin Tian'er, the elder sister of the Lin family, really couldn't get used to seeing her brother's bleak appearance like the end of the world, and when she was bored, she asked Meishuang, "Where is home?" β
"I don't know." Meishuang looked up at Lin Tian'er and shrugged.
Lin Tian'er was unhappy, "Ho! How to speak? Listen to your accent, you must be from the north, right? β
"Yes, on the outskirts of the capital."
"Who's in the house?"
"Myself."
Lin Tian'er looked at Mei Shuang again, her eyebrows were clear, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and she asked again, "What are you going to do?" β
"Writing."
I'm afraid this is my only specialty.
Lin Tian'er's eyes widened strangely, "Hehe, are you still a reader?" β
Lin Yuan Lin Gongzi on the side was also a little curious when he heard Mei Shuang's words. However, when I remembered the softness of my arm blocking the touch of someone's chest, my face suddenly turned red.
When the carriage stopped in the magnificent Lin Mansion, Meishuang's work was decided, and in the second half of the year, Lin Yuan was going to Beijing to take the exam, and this Meishuang wanted to accompany him. This is mainly the result of Lin Tianer's test of Meishuang's several questions, and Meishuang's answers are fluent.
The reason why Meishuang agreed was entirely because there was no other place to go at this time, so it was better to stay here for a while, and it would not be too late to go to Jiangnan after a while.
Mei Shuang's face is delicate and her appearance is upright, which is quite in line with the eyes of the old man of the Lin family, except that Mei Shuang is a little thin as a man, she has no other opinions.
Especially the words written by Meishuang on the spot suddenly amazed the foresters, and when they heard that Meishuang was also surnamed "Lin", they immediately smiled and clapped, "Hehe, I can read it to Yuan'er, eat and live, and live in three taels a month." β
Meishuang didn't expect a slap to get her a job, and it was still a good job.
Although there is no way to compare the silver of three taels with the thousand taels of silver in the clothes, three taels of silver can be regarded as a high salary. Mei Shuang was quite satisfied with her first income from her labor.
What's more, in addition to the weak temperament of the Lin Gongzi she wants to study, the other aspects are generous and decent, whether it is family education, knowledge, and cultivation.
After a few days, Meishuang and this Lin Yuan got along harmoniously. When chatting, I learned that the only seedling of this Lin Mansion was only sixteen years old, and that Lin Tian'er was his cousin, and she was only nineteen years old.
Sixteen years old, still an adolescent hairy child, no wonder the courtship is rejected and will only go to drink to relieve sorrow.
Speaking of the gaffe that day, Lin Yuan himself was a little embarrassed.
Mei Shuang likes to tease this shy boy, especially this Lin Yuan is quite generous.
To tell the truth, since she came out of the palace, although Mei Shuang has not been sleeping outside, she has been bumpy and aimless, and she can't eat well and sleep well. Now in addition to the three meals a day, this Lin Yuan often asks the servants to bring all kinds of snacks and snacks, and never brings the same kind, and he is addicted to eating plum cream.
This rich family is different, compared to the rough rice eaten outside, it is really comfortable here.
And every time Lin Yuan watched Meishuang feast, at most, he pursed his lips and smiled, and occasionally blushed.
For Meishuang, this delicious food is not in vain. In order to repay Lin Yuan's kindness, in addition to studying, she began to think of ways for Lin Yuan, all of which were ways to get the heart of the girl named Si'er who made Lin Yuan think about it and was absent-minded.
"Writing love letters? Will? I won't write it for you, absolutely sincerely. Meishuang volunteered.
"Ugh. She couldn't read. Lin Yuan shook his head.
"Sending flowers? Girls like to spend the most, I'll help you send it, don't bring the same every day"
"Well, she's a gardener." Lin Yuan shook his head again.
ββ
After Meishuang thought of a few ideas, they were all rejected by Lin Yuan.
Indeed, in ancient times, it was not so convenient for men and women to interact with each other, and women rarely showed their heads, and it was really not easy to get close.
"Does she have any hobbies?"
"I don't know." Lin Yuan thought about it, shook his head, and continued to stare at the book.
Odd!
Mei Shuangxin said that Lin Yuan had such a big lovesickness a few days ago, why is it that he is much calmer when he talks about the girl who almost broke him down now?
Perhaps, when adolescent boys and girls have impulses, this impulse must come and go quickly. Since this Young Master Lin doesn't care so much, why should she worry about him?
Thinking about it this way, Mei Shuang calmly continued to accept Lin Yuan's daily food, and naturally, while eating a lot of food, she did not forget her own work.
