Chapter 49: Fame and Fortune

When she could see Jin Ling, she saw that there were already stacks of boxes in her arms.

After that, the girls exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then excused themselves to leave.

The tea in the cup was almost full, what it looked like when she poured it, and what it looked like when people left.

Everyone left, and Jin Ling didn't get up. Sitting under the flower stand, he put the box aside, stretched his waist and stood up: "Rui'er, put it away." As she spoke, Jin Ling removed the bracelet from her wrist and placed it in the box.

"Girl......" Rui'er bit her lip with a worried face, "why do they send so many things to the girl." Wouldn't it be begging the girls to let them be elected? ”

Jin Ling covered the box of the blood-silk jade bracelet and put it in Rui'er's hand: "Otherwise? ”

"But there is only one beautiful woman, and there are only ten jade girls. It's just the girls around our Fulin Alley. Didn't the girls accept their things to ensure that they were selected? plus Miss Gu and Miss Zhao, the number of people is enough. Could it be that the other girls in Jinling City are not chosen? ”

"Hmm......" Jin Ling yawned, "I'll ask Xiao Shizi to add a few more names when I go back, ten is indeed a little less." ”

"Girl!" Rui'er sighed, "Isn't it just a false name?" It's worth it. Rui'er was worried that the girl had accepted such valuable things from them, and when the time came, they would not choose them, and they would come to trouble the girl. ”

"They didn't say that I would guarantee them to be selected. I don't have a good relationship with them. That's not enough. ”

"Not enough!" Rui'er gritted her teeth and held up the box of blood-colored jade and the night pearl in front of Jin Ling, "This, this is worth a thousand gold." The bounty of the first beauty is only 1,000 gold. You also promised Miss Zhao ....."

"You can't do that." Jin Ling smiled and said, "Do you know the word fame and fortune, fame and fortune, then you must be famous first and then beneficial." Do you think they are interested in the reward of a thousand taels of gold? People fancy the name of the first beauty. The benefits of having this name are not a matter of a thousand taels of gold. They bought me to make them famous, but they didn't want to be prosperous and rich for the rest of their lives. Is it too little to compare such a little thing with a lifetime of glory and wealth? If nothing else, just look at me. It's not because the prince is famous that they sent me things......"

"But what's your name?" Rui'er sighed deeply as she spoke, "Didn't you hear what the outside is saying about you now?" said that you obviously have a marriage contract with King Qi, and you are still unclear with the prince. I almost didn't scold you....."

Rui'er doesn't know when the discussion outside has changed, from envy at the beginning to denunciation......

Thinking about the way those girls looked at Jin Ling, Rui'er was angry, where did they come to give money, they were clearly here to demonstrate.

"You don't care what the name is." Jin Ling patted Rui'er on the shoulder, "As long as you are famous, you will be able to do things." Otherwise, how uncomfortable it is to worry about money all day long in this obscurity! ”

The cook, who was cleaning up the tea set, suddenly put the tea set on the wooden stool and knelt down in front of Jin Ling: "Girl! Aunt Li, please do one thing! ”

Jin Ling was startled and hurriedly went to pull the cook: "What are you doing!" ”

The cook can't afford it.

Jin Ling also squatted down: "Say it." ”

"I died early." The cook looked at Jin Ling with a blank eye, "I left a son and a daughter, and the family persuaded me to help the Jin family cook for a living." The former pension boss generously gave my son tuition to study in the book club, and asked my daughter to come to the flower garden to help. I didn't dare to ask for anything more. But if the girl can help others, can she help us......"

"Your daughter ....." Jin Ling asked Chi Chi.

"Yes!" The cook nodded hurriedly, "My daughter is twelve, and her appearance is not bad, she has a very good flower arrangement, even Boss Jin praises her." I just thought about signing her up......"

"Okay!" Jin Ling said with a smile, "Gardening is a craft that can be compared." ”

"That ......," the cook said shyly, "The girl also knows that our family really can't afford it......"

Jin Ling smiled: "You can bring her over to show me, if you can, I'll help you go through the back door!" ”

"Thank you so much, girl! The Jin family is the great benefactor of our family! ”

Seeing that the cook was thankful to go, Rui'er sighed: "Girl, you used to look down on Aunt Li the most, and said that she was mercenary and greedy for small gains. Why did you help her? After this start, don't the other mothers-in-law and gardeners in the family have to come to beg the girl? ”

If there is money, who wants to be greedy for a small bargain, people are poor and short-sighted. Fortunately, this Chef Li is still self-motivated, and she doesn't help anyone.

Jin Ling smiled and pinched Rui'er's face: "Have you signed up?" Do you want me to make it easier for you? ”

"Girl!" Rui'er touched her face, "You can't be crazy!" I'm just a girl, what name should I report! ”

"Didn't the notice say that there is no limit to your identity, you are of the right age and your appearance is not bad, why don't you sign up?"

"I won't report it!" Rui'er huffed angrily, "It's hard to say whether you choose or not." Besides, even if you are chosen, at most you will marry a good man. The girl is going to enter the palace, and the lord has already said that I will be your dowry girl in the future! ”

"That's the idea." Jin Ling smiled and said, "Let me tell you, even if I marry into the palace smoothly, just like the King of Qi, do you think we will have a good life?" ”

"I don't care!" Rui'er hugged the gift box into her arms, "I think that following the girl is more promising than the beauty pageant!" ”

"Hahaha..... Have an eye! Jin Ling's mood suddenly improved a lot.

At this time, I saw the mother-in-law next to the old lady of the Jin family walking all the way to the garden, looked at the box in Rui'er's hand, and smiled at Jin Ling: "The old lady invited the girl over, saying that she had something to say to you." ”

"Good!" Jin Ling followed her mother-in-law towards the old lady's house of the Jin family.

Two girls who gave money came early in the morning, and another group of girls who gave gifts came in the afternoon, and the eyes of the mother-in-law of the Jin family were bright.

The girls just left, and the mother-in-law told the old lady.

The old lady was originally lying down to recuperate, but when she heard that Jin Ling had received so many gifts, including blood-silk jade, night pearls and other treasures worth thousands of gold, she couldn't sit still, so she sent her mother-in-law to invite.

The old lady's house is actually not far to the west of Jinling's boudoir, passing from the garden, that is to say, the kung fu of words.

When I walked into Jin Ling, I found that there was a row of peony flowers in front of the old lady's room, and the room was full of golden marigolds, which were fragrant.

The old lady of the Jin family, who was as fat as a small tower mountain, was dressed in black and brown silk and sat among the flowers, just like a Buddha.
