Chapter 145: Coincidence
Delicious building today I don't know which high-roller chartered, the entire second floor is not allowed to enter people, originally did not want to disturb the distinguished guests and decided not to entertain too many tables of guests, Xiao Er saw that Xiaobai came, and now put the shopkeeper's words behind.
Xiao Bai was sitting near the door, there happened to be a big potted plant blocking her, and when she was talking to Xiao Er, several people walked in one after another, and she just didn't see it.
Xiao Er diligently put today's menu in front of Xiao Bai, and said with a smile: "Freshly baked hibiscus cake, do you want to have some?" It's a coincidence that you came, Uncle Wang just left, and in addition to the one that had been booked a long time ago, there was still the last box left. ”
It's really a coincidence, Uncle Wang of the Delicious Building has long been infrequent in charge of the spoon because of his inconvenient legs and feet, and it seems that today's guests are expensive enough. Xiaobai smiled and said, "Take half of it to the little girl outside, and let someone get me some breakfast." ”
Saying this, I have something to ask Xiao Er, Xiao Er turned around and gave a few orders, came back with a pot of hot tea, and said with a smile: "Do you want to ask Wen Yingge about it?" ”
"How do you know?"
"The ancient housekeeper has said a long time ago, the little white girl has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, if she wants to come, it must be because of Wen Yingge's affairs, I heard that the white shopkeeper father and daughter left Huicheng a few days ago, and Wen Yingge was also sold, and it was the Lin family's aunt who did it."
"Nobody told me this." Xiaobai smiled, "Strange, right? ”
"What's so strange? You are not from the Lin family, it's strange that people told you. I heard that when the white shopkeeper left, Mrs. Lin did not agree, and the merchant lady who lived in the house interceded, and Mrs. Lin released the deed of sale. Everyone said that Mrs. Shang was kind-hearted and a great benefactor of the Lin family. ”
"It's great to be able to leave." Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Er smiled and said: "What's going on, if you want me to say, the Lin family felt that it was too troublesome to leave with such a sick man, so they borrowed Mrs. Shang's steps." Bai Lian's life is really bitter, and finally Lord Lin is about to be promoted, and he can get a little bit of the light of the Lin family, but he didn't expect to be so seriously ill. Unlike the Immaculate ... ”
"What's wrong with Immaculate?"
Xiao Er raised his eyebrows and said, "I followed you with Mrs. Lin's dowry, and I won't have a good life in the future?" Who doesn't know that you two are just like sisters. ”
Xiaobai suddenly felt a buzz in her head, she hadn't read the flawless letter, why were the rumors already flying all over the sky? "Who told you you had no time to follow me?"
Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Ouch, you see my brain, I have heard people talk nonsense, and I may have remembered it wrong." I'm going to urge you to go to Hibiscus Cake! After saying that, he ran away.
Even leaving is not quiet, Xiaobai sighed, thinking that Dr. Nan must have heard such a rumor, but did not mention half a word, she took out the letter that had no time to give herself, a thin envelope, there was not even a trace of paper, and it was indeed the case when she opened it, and only the word "obedient" was written on a small note, like her farewell to Flawless that day.
Hey, what's the goodbye...
Just when Xiaobai was in a daze, a scolding voice suddenly came from not far away: "Didn't you say that there is no hibiscus cake?" What are you holding in your hand? ”
Xiaobai immediately heard that the person who spoke was Lin Wenhai, and it seemed that he was the high-roller that the delicious building was going to entertain today.
"This was set by the guest, and the ones that Young Master Lin had ordered had already been served."
"Humph! Look at how many slaps you take, you're not honest! I don't know who shouted angrily, and then there was the sound of the plate breaking, "Is the little beggar outside the guest you said?" If you give away a copy, why is there still one here? You see that our Young Master Lin has a good temper and kicks his nose in the face, right? They all said that they wanted to take it back to honor Mrs. Lin, why deceive! ”
"Little ones don't dare! But the guest said that half of it was given to the little girl outside, and the little one was holding the other half in his hand. ”
"Smack!" Bang! Xiao Bai stood up instantly, she understood that Xiao Er had been beaten.
Then I heard the man say, "You dare to quibble! ”
"He didn't lie to you." Xiaobai walked out and looked at the few people in front of him coldly, sure enough, it was Lin Wenhai, and Shang Ting, the rest of the one who spoke politely, she had also seen it, it was Shang Yuan Mu who sent congratulatory gifts from the back door of the Lin family at that time. "This hibiscus cake is the last one you ordered, and I gave half of it to the little girl outside, and this half is mine."
"White girl?" Shang Yuan Mu smiled coldly and retreated to Shang Ting's side.
For some reason, his somewhat uplifted tone made Xiaobai sure that he knew it was himself early on, and deliberately found fault. That smile made Xiaobai uncomfortable.
Lin Wenhai was silent for a while, and he didn't know if it was because he was seen by Xiaobai because he was aggressive, or because he was with Shang Ting, and there was a kind of promotion to implement the rumors, or because of other inexplicable emotions, no matter which one, he didn't want Xiaobai to see it, he was very ashamed, and he wanted to walk away as soon as possible.
Xiao Er rubbed his red and swollen cheeks, squatted down and packed up the pieces of walnut crisp and porcelain plate fragments on the plate, retreated silently, and saw the shopkeeper running down from the second floor, and said with a smile on his face: "It's all our distinguished guests, it's not good to hurt the harmony, although the hibiscus cake is gone, but there are many other pastries in the delicious building, I will send some to you to taste, I don't know if it's good?" ”
"Do you care about these taels of silver as a merchant and the Lin family?" Shang Yuanmu sneered.
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Of course not, it's just that it's Gu Yu today, and it's good to be harmonious, otherwise there will be no peace in this whole year." ”
Lin Wenhai had been watching Xiaobai come out of his mind, but when he heard this, he came back to his senses and said, "Forget it, take some other pastries and send them to the Lin Mansion, don't cause trouble on the day of praying to God." ”
"Thank you, Young Master Lin." The shopkeeper bowed and thanked him.
Unexpectedly, Shang Yuan Mu did not give up, and continued: "Now you know that you want Young Master Xie Lin? I think you just only bully honest people, and when you hear that Lord Lin's promotion has changed, you will be lazy! ”
The shopkeeper's face turned pale, "We didn't think so. ”
"Even if you really think so, it doesn't matter, but you have to understand that Young Master Lin is the foundation of the Lin family, and if you serve it well, you won't suffer, otherwise, be careful of chickens and eggs, after all, this day... has changed ... ”
It seems that no matter where Lin Dongyue will be promoted or when he will leave, Lin Wenhai will not follow. Xiaobai had known about this for a long time, so he was not surprised, but the shopkeeper was surprised. If Lin Wenhai doesn't leave, the sky in Huicheng is indeed going to change, it seems that the rumors are true, the Lin family really intends to let Lin Wenhai and Shang Ting tie the knot.
At that moment, two people came down the stairs, and one of them said, "I said, why haven't you come back for so long?" Ouch! This is the white girl who welcomes guests, right? looked up for a long time, and said that the white girl solved an unjust case in the Lin Mansion a few days ago, which is really unseemly. ”
Shang Ting smiled: "It's better for the two of you not to be hearsay, where did the Lin Mansion get the unjust case?" If so, why didn't you inquire about it in Huicheng? When she asked me just now, I said no, she is not from the Lin Mansion, and she will not know about the Lin Mansion for no reason. ”
Another said, "But we heard that the white girl who welcomed us is the second lady of the Lin Mansion." ”
Shang Ting hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It's all rumors!" She used to be the girl next to the eldest lady of the Lin family, just because she was a little clever, the elders in the house treated her a little better, and I don't know how this came out. If you don't believe me, you can ask Young Master Lin. ”
Xiaobai never dreamed that Lin Wenhai would nod his head and said: "After all, the two shopkeepers are in Yuanhuzhuang, so it's not surprising that they don't know about the situation in Huicheng." Xiaobai thought that he would be sad, but when he heard him say this, there was no wave in his heart, which was really strange.
The two shopkeepers hurriedly made amends, "Forgive me." ”
Shang Ting turned to the shopkeeper of the delicious building and smiled: "Don't mind, shopkeeper, my cousin is straightforward, if there is any offense just now, please forgive me, the merchant and the Gu family still have business dealings, don't hurt the harmony because of irrelevant people, didn't you say that you want to send us some pastries?" Don't forget. ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Let's go, Mrs. Shang, Haihan, the pastries will be delivered immediately." With that, he stepped back and prepared the pastries.
Lin Wenhai and Shang Yuan Mu accompanied the two shopkeepers upstairs one after the other, one was waiting for Xiaobai to make a fool of himself, and the other was struggling, wanting to get close to him and being powerless, wanting to be alienated but unwilling.
"One should not fight for one's life." Shang Ting blocked Xiaobai's sight, and her smile was mixed with disdain, which was her innate nobility and edge.
This is the first time, Shang Ting opened her mouth to talk to Xiaobai, there was Xiaobai's shadow in her pupils, she was not only the kind lady in Xiliang's mouth, not only the surprising topic in everyone's conversation, nor only the words that thanked her in the discussion, the former Mrs. Shang of the Wang family, she was just Shang Ting, and she also fell in Xiaobai's eyes, she is Shang Ting who can be grateful to Xiaobai, but she will not be grateful forever.
"Angry with it, sad about its misfortune!" A young man in white walked through the door, and mockery appeared between his words.
Innate nobility? Seeing this young man, Shang Tingzhen's face burned off several layers.
Shang Ting understood in her heart that these eight words were actually talking about her former self, if people shouldn't fight with life, what is everything she is doing now? Could it be that she is happy that fate has finally given her a good face, but she is resentful that Xiaobai gave her the key to start a new life?
"You still have the face to persuade others?" The young man sneered and stomped Shang Ting's only remaining face under his feet.
Xiaobai turned around and looked, frowned and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"Madame!" Shang Yuan Musan ran down the stairs in two steps, grabbed Shang Ting's wrist, and shook his head.
