Chapter 154: Madame
The New Year will be in two or three days, and even the officials of the imperial court have begun to rest, but because of the fire in the dyeing workshop, Lin Yingxue still has many things to deal with, so after coming and going, she has become the busiest person in the entire Lin family.
"Thank you Brother Zhang, it's hard for Brother Zhang's inconvenient legs and feet to help us here every day." When Lin Yingxue arrived at the dyeing workshop, she happened to see Zhang Su helping the dyeing workshop unload, and the guys from the dyeing workshop were all around Zhang Su and thanked him earnestly.
Although Zhang Su is lame, because of his martial arts foundation, he is no worse than the people below, or even better, which can be seen from the attitude of the people below towards Zhang Su.
Lin Yingxue saw it in her heart, but walked up quietly on her face.
"Miss Five." Although Lin Yingxue usually did not overly control her subordinates, she was extremely majestic in front of her subordinates, and as soon as she saw her passing, everyone immediately quieted down.
"Well, everyone has worked hard in the past few days, I hope you will hold on a little longer, and after the last order of the year is driven out, everyone can go back to have a good year." After saying some words of encouragement, the people below began to get busy again.
seems to know that Lin Yingxue seems to have some prejudice against Zhang Su, and this time no one stood up and said good things to Zhang Su in front of Lin Yingxue.
And the Zhang family and his wife are also working in this dyeing workshop, they hesitated not far away, watching Lin Yingxue want to speak and stop, but in the end they still didn't say anything.
As for Zhang Su, after seeing Lin Yingxue, his expression became extremely unnatural, he froze in place like a stone, and was ignored by Lin Yingxue again and again, and his patience was finally worn out.
"If you don't want to help me, I won't have to work so hard to please you in the future." Zhang Su gritted his teeth and said, although there was resentment in his expression, his voice was not loud, it was only enough for the two of them and the maid ring next to Lin Yingxue to hear it.
This is also saving some face for Lin Yingxue, after all, Lin Yingxue is still a girl who has not left the cabinet, if this is heard by people who don't know, I don't know what others will say about Lin Yingxue behind her back.
It seems that because the Zhang family and his wife lived under Lin Yingxue, Zhang Su, who has always been reckless and impulsive, has learned to behave a little sleekly.
Lin Yingxue saw that she was almost ready to take the pole, so she glanced at Zhang Su lightly, "Come here." With that, he took Di'er and retreated a little far away from the dyeing workshop.
This was the first time Lin Yingxue had opened his mouth to communicate with him after the inn, Zhang Su stood in place and was stunned for a moment before he realized that his opportunity had come, so he hurriedly limped behind Lin Yingxue.
Lin Yingxue didn't go far, but it was just a corner where the subordinates who retreated to the dyeing workshop could see their words and demeanor, but they couldn't hear what they were talking about.
"I know you want to live a normal life incognito, and I can help you, but your abilities are not enough for me to decide to take the risk to pave the way for you." Lin Yingxue never beat around the bush, and when she came up, she directly clarified her thoughts.
Zhang Su tried his best to help the dyeing workshop, but he only used this to tell Lin Yingxue that he had the ability to do things, and he was not just a wasted person, and he never thought that Lin Yingxue could be impressed by just doing some hard work, so he said very happily: "You tell me directly what I should do in exchange for your help to me." ”
Yes, in exchange.
It's so simple and straightforward to talk to smart people. Lin Yingxue's somewhat cold face finally showed a faint smile that was almost invisible, "It's very simple, you help me find out who is behind this arson, if you find out, I will arrange for you to work in the dyeing workshop or shop." ”
"If you just want to live an ordinary life, I can try my best to help your family of three settle down in the imperial city. If you want to fulfill your ambitions, I can also find a way to give you a new identity and let you work your way up...... It's all up to you what you think, and the premise for that to happen is to find out who is doing the work against the dyeing shop. ”
The conditions given by Lin Yingxue are very attractive, even if it is just an ordinary person, they can't help but be moved by it, not to mention the remnants of the former dynasty like Zhang Su who can only live in a corner where they can't see the light.
"Okay, give me a month, and I'll find out about it!" Zhang Su gritted his teeth in response, and there was a determination and firmness between his eyebrows.
After that, what Zhang Su did Lin Yingxue had no time to take care of, because the New Year was coming soon, Lin Yingxue had too many things to do, and the Lin family, who had always been turbulent, was finally born at this time, and nothing major happened, the only thing was that Lin Zhengjie privately brought the future mother of the second room, the Sun girl, to the old lady to meet, and the old lady was also very satisfied with this Sun girl.
Because it has been less than three months since the death of the Song family, the Lin family has been very lonely this year, basically no one has come to pay New Year's greetings to the Lin family, and the Lin family can't move around too much. There were many complaints about the Song family's death at this time, but Lin Yingxue was so happy - she didn't have to deal with people who were wronged by snakes everywhere, she had more time to take care of the things at hand.
Such a busy and fulfilling day lasted for more than ten days, and on this day, Lin Yingxue came back from outside, but there was an invitation on the table.
The invitation was sent by the eldest princess Murong Xing, saying that Lin Yingxue was invited to have a banquet together on the night of the 15th Lantern Festival, and the people invited to this banquet were all the children of the royal family and the children of dignitaries.
There were no elders present, and they could play as much as they wanted...... It sounds very tempting, but not every noble child is a harmonious place, Lin Yingxue just thought of Lin Yingling and Li Lingyu from the Criminal Department, she had a headache.
Lin Yingxue wanted to say that she was sick and refused this invitation, but she was likely to offend the eldest princess because of this, so it was not a good choice.
In such distress, the Lantern Festival is approaching in a blink of an eye.
The Lantern Festival is undoubtedly an extremely lively festival, after Lin Yingxue took Di'er and Leng Yue to the street, she saw that the street was crowded, and all kinds of lanterns illuminated the whole street as bright as day.
"Sell Lantern Festival, sell Lantern Festival, big, round and delicious Lantern Festival......" But not all the stalls on the street sell lanterns, for example, now the flute next to Lin Yingxue involuntarily followed the sound of selling towards the stall selling Lantern Festival.
"Miss, this Lantern Festival looks delicious!" Di'er stood in front of the stall where she bought Lantern Festival, and it was no exaggeration to say that the saliva was about to drip into someone's pot.
Lin Yingxue and Leng Yue both shook their heads in disgust and helplessness, "When it comes to the banquet, you won't be able to eat anything delicious, so don't eat anything else." Lin Yingxue kindly persuaded her.
But the gluttonous worms in Di'er's stomach have been hooked, and she is reluctant to leave other people's stalls.
"Miss, the slave maid will eat a little, just eat a little to taste the taste!" Di'er begged, looking a little pitiful.
Lin Yingxue still couldn't bear it, so she nodded, "Okay, then you can buy it." ”
"Yes, yes, Miss is the best!" Di'er clapped her hands happily and said with a smile: "Boss, I want a small bowl!" ”
"Okay, girl, please wait, it'll be out of the pot soon!" Not long after the vendor said this, a bowl of Lantern Festival came out of the pot.
"A few troubles, seven coins of silver." The vendor used his apron to intervene politely.
As soon as the vendor's voice fell, Lin Yingxue involuntarily touched her waist, and it was not until she touched the empty space that she remembered that the money bag seemed to be placed at Di'er's, so she turned her gaze to Di'er, "Di'er, isn't the money bag with you?" ”
"Four?" Di'er's mouth was stuffed full, and after answering vaguely, she also touched her waist, but it turned out to be empty like Lin Yingxue.
"Miss......" Di'er couldn't even eat the Lantern Festival in an instant, she looked at Lin Yingxue with wide eyes, and said in an extremely low voice and guiltily: "The money bag is gone......
Today, the streets are full of people, and it is possible that a thief will take advantage of the loophole. Looking at the vendor's gradually collapsed face, Lin Yingxue smiled wryly, turned her head and asked Leng Yue on the side in a low voice: "Do you have silver taels on you?" ”
"Nope." Leng Yue replied very simply.
Lin Yingxue was helpless at this time, in fact, they didn't have jewelry and other things on them, but those ornaments were very valuable, if they were just used to pay for a bowl of Lantern Festival, it would be a bit extravagant.
Seeing that Lin Yingxue and the three of them were silent, the peddler's face suddenly darkened, "Okay, look at the three girls in your home, you are all dressed well, I didn't expect you to be such a person!" Come and see, everyone, this someone is eating white food! The peddler rushed up and shouted at the flute's sleeve.
When this voice went down, the people passing by around stopped to watch, not to mention how embarrassing the scene was.
Seeing more and more people coming around, just as Lin Yingxue was about to take off the hairpin on her head to pay the bill, a slender hand suddenly stretched out behind her, "Their account, I will settle it." ”
When she heard this voice, Lin Yingxue's body froze on the spot. She struggled to turn her head to look at the person behind her, only to see Murong Xun standing two steps away from her, still with the same sticky ice cube face, but there was obviously a hint of a smile in the unfathomable black eyes of the person behind her today.
When did this guy come over? How long have you been standing behind her? Lin Yingxue just felt a little embarrassed when she was watched by the people, but when she knew that Murong Xun might also be one of the people, a feeling of shame and indignation suddenly surged up from the soles of her feet.
"Thank you, Your Highness, I will send someone to return the silver to Your Highness's Mansion tomorrow." Lin Yingxue's face tightened, and her tone was cold.
It seems that every time the people in front of him see him, they never give him a good face, is he so unwelcome? Murong Xun was secretly thinking in his heart, and after the vendor on the side received the big ingot of silver, he suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you, Childe!" This girl should be Childe's wife, right? I'll just say that Madame doesn't look like she is dressed like one who eats white food......"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Before Lin Yingxue could recover from the shock of the vendor's 'madam', a loud shout had already sounded behind her.
It's over, it's over. Lin Yingxue turned her head with a headache, only to see Lin Yingling and Lin Yingmeng looking at her angrily, it was obvious that they were here with Murong Xun.
