Chapter 201: Competing for favor
After all, Chu Linghui had lived with Lin Jiu for so long, and knew that Lin Jiu had a problem with lying in bed, so he didn't call her in the morning, but after washing himself, he picked up a book and sat in the courtyard and waited for someone to get up.
However, before Lin Jiu got up, another uninvited guest arrived, and Yin Zidu picked up the food box early in the morning, and rode a tall horse to Shilang's Mansion to knock on the door.
Chu Linghui wanted to ignore him, but he couldn't bear it, so he let him in, and as soon as Yin Zidu entered the door, he shouted noisily, shouting Lin Jiu's name loudly: "Jiu'er, I'm bringing you breakfast, the buns in Hedong are particularly delicious, I went to line up early in the morning to buy them, you must try them." ”
But until he walked to the inner courtyard, he didn't see Lin Jiu's figure, only Chu Linghui didn't raise his eyelids to sit in the pavilion and read, Yin Zidu suddenly remembered that Lin Jiu was angry when he got up, and he was beaten by Lin Jiu for arguing with her to sleep, and he quickly shut up at the moment.
He curled the corners of his mouth and sat opposite Chu Linghui, who turned another page of the book and glanced at Yin Zi without speaking.
Yin Zidu was still angry with Chu Lingjue and didn't want to talk to him, so the two were silent and waited for Lin Jiu to get up, but fortunately, Lin Jiu got up quite early today, and after a while, he got up.
After washing up under the service of the maid, as soon as he went out, he saw two men who were silent and opposite, Lin Jiu was a little helpless and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
As soon as he saw Lin Jiu, Yin Zidu seemed to have suddenly returned to blood, and walked up to Lin Jiu with a food box to show off: "Jiu'er, you see that this is the breakfast I went to buy for you in the morning, it's still hot at this time, come and eat some." ”
However, Lin Jiu saw that the food box had not yet been opened, and there was a smell of rice, thinking that Chu Linghui had also prepared breakfast, so he looked at Chu Linghui: "Have you had breakfast?" ”
"Not yet, waiting for you." After speaking, Chu Linghui handed the book to the little guy who was waiting beside him, then stood up and walked in the direction of Lin Jiu.
Lin Jiu made a big red face, and when he saw Yin Zidu looking at her, he also followed Chu Linghui to the flower hall for dining, which made Yin Zi very happy, and followed Lin Jiu with the food box.
The maid of the Shilang Mansion had already filled the table with the prepared breakfast, Yin Zi was heartbroken when he saw this, and let out a heavy breath, and actually took half of the food on the table directly, and stuffed it back into the hand of the maid who passed the food, and then quickly opened the food box he brought, put the food he prepared on the table, and deliberately placed it closer to Lin Jiu.
Lin Jiu didn't notice his careful thinking, but Chu Linghui could see it clearly, but he didn't say anything, as soon as he entered the table, the two of them sandwiched Lin Jiu in the middle, one left and one right, and helped Lin Jiu with vegetables from time to time, especially Yin Zidu, and the vegetables for Lin Jiu were piled up into a small mountain bag.
Lin Jiu's previous impression of Yin Zidu was a typical second-year teenager, so now that he is in this state, Lin Jiu feels that his condition should be aggravated again, so he silently tolerates his mentally retarded behavior.
But what Lin Jiu didn't expect was that this war-like breakfast was just the beginning, after breakfast, Lin Jiu went to change his clothes, which was specially prepared for him by Chu Lincheng, the peach color was bright and well-cut, Lin Jiu wore it to look youthful and energetic, and it was convenient for her to move, so she started her unforgettable day beautifully.
Although Lin Jiu didn't come to the capital for the first time, the last time he came to the capital, it was in the midst of war, and he couldn't see such prosperity as it is now, so as soon as the three of them arrived on the street, Lin Jiu was still very fresh.
"I know that you have recently put some thought into the affairs of Yihong Courtyard, there is a teahouse in the capital, and there are often female storytellers who come to sit there, and it just so happens that there is a famous Mr. Hua there today, I have booked a seat, and now the time is almost up, why don't we go there first."
Lin Jiu was also interested when he heard this, and hurriedly nodded: "Okay, then let's go there first." ”
This suddenly blocked everything Yin Zi wanted to say back to his chest, looking at Chu Linghui's provocative eyes when he looked over, Yin Zi secretly clenched his back molars, and the dark tide between the two was surging for a while, but Lin Jiu cared about the female gentleman and didn't notice it at all.
The three of them got into the carriage arranged by Chu Linghui, and then swayed to the stage he said.
After listening to the story told by the storyteller here, Lin Jiu did have a new idea about Yihong Courtyard, and silently remembered it in his heart, and discussed it with the girls when he went back.
After listening to the story, before the meal arrived, Yin Zidu preemptively said: "You have already started selling ready-to-wear clothes in the cherry blossom shop in Heishui Town, why don't we go to various cloth villages to see the popular clothing styles in Beijing, and you can take them back to the staff officers." ”
Lin Jiu also readily agreed, and then the two men rushed to recommend to Lin Jiu what they thought was interesting, wanting to attract Lin Jiu's attention.
At the end of the day, Lin Jiu almost walked through the famous places in the capital, Lin Jiu was quite helpless about this, but he was too tired to complain about these two people, and as soon as he returned to the Shilang Mansion, he kicked the two men out and threw them on the bed.
In the next two days, the two of them were still like this, directly annoying Lin Jiu, pointing at the two of them and saying, "If you go crazy again, I will go back to Blackwater Town tomorrow." ”
In this way, the two of them can be counted, and they don't dare to take Lin Jiu all over the capital anymore, so they have to search for interesting playthings everywhere, and Baba has to send them to Lin Jiu, plus Chu Linghui is really busy with official business, Lin Jiu finally lived a comfortable life for two days.
She had to go out by herself, and after a while, she came to Ling Shangge's jade shop that sold dog meat with sheep's heads, and when she stood at the door, Lin Jiu was still in a little trance, she remembered that when she came here before, it was still to save Chu Linghui, and because Lancang threatened the Zhao family at that time, she also had some resentment in her heart, so she washed Ling Shangge in a fit of anger.
But who didn't expect that when he came back, he would become the master of this Ling Shang Pavilion, and he was really making people. Lin Jiu sighed for a while and walked into the store.
The red girl is still in charge, but the two have never met, looking at the red girl's somewhat alienated and cold attitude towards herself, she can't help but have a bad taste, so she didn't tell her identity, just pretended to be an ordinary guest.
"I wonder what the girl wants to buy?" The red girl twisted the waist of the water snake and came to Lin Jiu, and she didn't know what the reason was, but she felt a little impatient.
Lin Jiu didn't care: "I want to buy some news." ”
The red girl raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and looked Lin Jiu up and down again, this girl looked quiet and quiet, not like a person who would know Ling Shangge, but the door-to-door business is always not easy to push out, so the red girl led Lin Jiu to the inner room, added another cup of tea, and then asked, "What news does the girl want to check?" ”
Lin Jiu's eyes rolled, and when he thought of one, he said, "Just check how much Chu Linghui Chu Shilang has." ”
When the red girl heard this, her eyelids jumped, and her body softened and leaned on the back of the chair behind her, holding her hands on her chest, and her eyes looked at Lin Jiu for a moment.
Lin Jiu looked innocent: "I really didn't know before I came to ask you, don't worry, silver is not a problem." ”
The red girl looked suspicious, looked at Lin Jiu for a long time, then lowered her eyelids, and said, "Then you go back first, come to the store again at this time tomorrow, and bring ten taels of silver to exchange the news." ”
"Is it so expensive?" Lin Jiu gasped.
"If you think it's expensive." The red girl didn't bother to deal with her anymore, "Let's leave, after all, it doesn't matter if you want to find out." ”
Lin Jiu took out a silver ingot from his purse and put it on the table, "That's it, this is a fixed money, you can send someone to check it now, I'll wait here." As soon as the red girl heard this, she suddenly became a little angry, her eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Lin Jiu tightly, Lin Jiu also looked back without showing weakness, and the atmosphere between the two was about to erupt.
Just when the red girl was about to get angry and want to make a move, Lin Jiu chuckled and was born, took out the token that represented the supreme status of the Ling Shang Pavilion Lord from his arms, and gently rested it on the table, which made all the anger of the red girl with red makeup dissipate.
She stood up and hurriedly bowed to Lin Jiu, "It's a subordinate who is clumsy and doesn't recognize the pavilion master, so please ask the pavilion master to surrender." ”
