Chapter 108: Intended
After the lively dragon raised its head, all families were busy, the children were busy going to school, the adults were busy supporting their families, and the affairs of the Wang family were like a gust of wind, and there was no trace of the past. Huicheng is still the same as ever, there is no change in the slightest.
Xiaobai stood at the counter and yawned, this month, she finally understood what it meant to be idle, counting the money and counting the feeling of cramps in her hands, originally she wanted to go back to the county palace with Guo Zhaoyang, but Feng Mi was helpless to stop her, she couldn't leave if she wanted to, Guo Zhaoyang also stayed here and didn't leave, and Changyu Youle became a buddy in the store.
Both of them are people who can speak well, and it is the New Year's Festival, those merchants were coaxed by the auspicious words for a while, not only did they give more money for dinner, but they were not stingy with the reward money, these two people did not hide it privately, and handed it over, so that Xiaobai was not helpless. But what could she do? It seems that Feng Mi is a dead knot in all this, but as long as this knot can't be opened, they have no other choice.
After sending off the last wave of guests, it was almost the end of the hour, Xiaobai looked at Guo Zhaoyang and Changyu Youle who were busy in the hall, and asked cautiously: "Or... Shall I go and make some barbecue? It's been a busy day, and you should be hungry. ”
"No, I'm not hungry." Guo Zhaoyang didn't look back, he went to the kitchen with the dishes and chopsticks, these days, he is always a little powerless in the face of Xiaobai.
Changyu Youle smiled: "A few days ago, I thought your stewed soup tasted good, what is it called?" Kusa Rich Chicken? I want to eat that. ”
"Simple, I'll do it." Xiaobai cleaned up the counter and said with a smile: "It's too difficult to listen to what you want to eat, I have to think about what to do every day, and my brain is not enough." It seems that Sister Bailian and I have also run out of skills one day, and the next thing is to find a new master. ”
A figure popped up and said with a smile: "My craftsmanship can even hold up Wen Yingge, and I can't cover you with a small welcome?" ”
"Sister White Lotus?" Xiaobai was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly ran out, "Why are you here?" ”
"Who did you just talk to?" Bai Lian looked inside, where was the shadow of Changyu Youle in the hall, "I heard that you have a few more clever guys here, why don't you call them out and show me quickly?" ”
Xiaobai took Bai Lian to the tea room at the back, and said with a smile: "Are you coming to see me, or are you coming to see a buddy?" ”
"Naturally, I came to see you." Bai Lian sat down cross-legged and said, "I'm afraid you've also heard that the county magistrate is going to be promoted, and the Lin family is packing up recently, and Madam plans to close Wen Yingge, and wants me to follow with my father." ”
Xiaobai's hand holding the teacup paused, when he didn't have time to come before, he had already told her in advance, the Lin family was about to disperse, but he didn't know when it would disperse, "Then will we never see each other again in the future?" ”
"I know you are worried about the Lin family." Bai Lian sighed, and said: "The old lady has decided not to leave with the lady, so the lady let the eldest young master stay, saying that she wants to serve the old lady, anyway, only the old lady in the Lin family is really good to you, no one stops you, you can go to see her often." ”
Xiaobai didn't answer, but asked: "A few months ago, Mrs. Lin also gave Young Master Lin Zhang Luo's marriage, didn't she delay Young Master Lin's marriage when she left?" I didn't listen to the news, when did that Miss Zhang marry Young Master Lin? ”
Bai Lian glanced at her and was silent, it wasn't that she didn't want to answer, but she didn't know. "Hey, since the young master took over the chairman's position, he often goes in and out with the merchant lady, but he can often see the lady taking the lady around shopping for things. Speaking of which, I really can't figure it out, since she wants to repay your favor, why does she only help the Lin family, knowing that you care about the Lin family, but she doesn't ask about you and the Lin family at all. ”
"My little favor, a few ingots of gold will be paid off." Xiaobai couldn't help but want to laugh, how could others know how many gifts Mrs. Shang gave herself.
"What a fool!" Bai Lian rolled her eyes, "Others can't see it, but I guessed that Mrs. Shang is afraid that she wants to be the young lady of the Lin Mansion." ”
Xiaobai was taken aback, and his tone became stammering, "No... No... Let's ... She knew about the recent affairs of Shang Ting and the Wang family from the merchants, but no one dared to think about it.
Besides, I didn't have time to tell her about Shang Ting's New Year in the Lin family, not only did the Lin family praise her, but also got a few words of praise from Mrs. Lin, but I didn't feel that Shang Ting had such a thought, why did Bai Lian feel it?
Xiaobai suddenly thought of the time when Mrs. Lin celebrated her birthday, Shang Ting helped Lin Wenhai in private, as early as when everyone thought that Lin Wenhai and the Wang family were not in harmony, she was helping Lin Wenhai plan, could it be that Mrs. Lin didn't know? It can only be said that Mrs. Lin is just pretending to be confused.
"Just look, I guessed right! But this is not a bad thing, the young master is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and there are businessmen as backers, even if the new county magistrate takes office in the future, he doesn't have to be afraid of anything! It's just pity for you, it's not worth it! Let me ask you, when are you going to open this little restaurant? Don't really wait for the new county magistrate to come and ask you before you think of a way, the old man is promoted and gone, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that the old lady won't be able to protect you. ”
Outside the door, Feng Mi looked at Changyu Youle with doubts, "Didn't Feng Wu exempt Lin Dongyue?" Why does he still have the ability to be promoted? ”
Changyu Youle glared, this month he just greeted the guests as a buddy, where did he know anything else, "I'll let people check!" After saying that, he turned around and ran.
Feng Mi smiled and continued to listen to the movement in the tea room.
"That day, Wen Yingge was closed, I saw Aunt Mei beside Mrs. Shang, she led a teenage girl to the outside of the city, I heard others say, it seems to be the eldest lady of the Wang family, but I don't look like it, the eldest lady of the Wang family is studying in the school, I heard that the grades are not bad, how can it be like that, keeping saliva and asking for candy to eat, living like a fool!"
Xiaobai was shocked, she heard rumors among merchants that Wang Dongling, the eldest lady of the Wang family, suddenly became a stupid girl, she didn't believe it at first, it seems that the things of the Wang family are indeed a little weird, a little chilling.
"It is said that Mrs. Shang is kind-hearted, but if that eldest lady really becomes a stupid girl, I don't believe that she can take care of her for the rest of her life. However, I have never been to Mrs. Shang's new house, so I don't know if it's true or not, but it's all nonsense from others. ”
Xiaobai smiled: "Others talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense, beware of being known by Mrs. Shang and not sparing you." ”
"I'm leaving soon, she can't control me!" Bai Lian smiled, looking at Xiao Bai's gaze became a lot more sincere, she suddenly remembered that day the old lady of the Lin family accepted Xiao Bai as her goddaughter, and invited the big families in the entire Huicheng to give Xiao Bai enough face, she was still very envious, and now it seems that she is careful.
"What do you think I'm doing that? I'll say first, if you're leaving, I'm definitely not going to deliver it, and when it's time to write to me, I'll take the time to see you. ”
"Do you know that I used to envy you? Not only me, but even Meiyu is flawless, and the girl is very envious of you, obviously you are all grassroots, yours is different from us, not only is it valued by the Lin Mansion, but you can also fly on the branches to be the second miss. But now that I understand it, I can't envy you, I have a personal life, and yours is not necessarily the best. What I should envy you the most is that you really dare to refuse the road they paved for you, no matter how difficult it is, gritting your teeth step by step to get to the present, unlike me and my father, Mrs. Ming Ming has asked us whether to go or stay, but because I am not married, my father can only choose to stay with Mrs. for me. ”
"Then you can find someone to marry, won't you? Maybe Mrs. Lin can give you a dowry. Xiaobai smiled.
Bai Lian rolled her eyes again and said, "I'm sorry, the dowry I earned myself is enough for me to be a little rich woman!" ”
"In that case, why do you have to get married?" Xiaobai asked very seriously.
But Bai Lian couldn't answer, she didn't know, it seemed that her father's only wish was to be able to find a good family for her with Lin Dongyue's official name, and she would be filial piety to fulfill this wish.
"If I were you, I would buy myself a few acres of land, then buy a house, open a small stall of white sugar cakes, and provide for my father's old age, and be a leisurely rich wife."
Bai Lian couldn't help but laugh when she heard Xiaobai's relaxed and comfortable little life, "My father is right, this world is difficult, if there is no one to protect you, you may have to suffer a lot of losses, we are all the same, before this, we lived under the big tree of the Lin family, but if we left them, maybe what would happen." ”
"Is that so?" Xiaobai frowned slightly, even if her relationship with the Lin family has come to an end, do others still have to take care of her in the face of the Lin family? So what is it for her to get up early and be greedy for darkness on weekdays, and think about others wholeheartedly?
