Chapter 20: Being stalked
Although Yu Wenhao asked Lin Jiujiu to call himself Hao before, Lin Jiujiu was thin-skinned and never called out, so this was the first time Lin Jiujiu called himself like this, and he only felt a little more comfortable.
The shopkeeper looked at Yu Wenhao's expression and said secretly: Sure enough, it is a hero who is sad to pass the beauty pass.
But he also said: "Yes, Miss Lin is right. ”
Yu Wenhao nodded and agreed "reluctantly".
Lin Jiujiu breathed a sigh of relief and followed the shopkeeper to the restaurant in his mouth.
Buzhuang is on the street, this restaurant is in the center of the street, as the shopkeeper said, the location is really good, but the business is a little worse.
Lin Jiujiu looked around and understood. There are really a lot of restaurants around here, and this restaurant in Yuwenhao, not to mention that it does not have its own specialties, even the decoration is mediocre, no wonder the business is so bleak.
It's time for a meal now, but there are only a few people in the restaurant.
"It's not a good business." Lin Jiujiu said sincerely.
The shopkeeper's "eh" said: "The original shopkeeper of the restaurant was my fellow countryman, who was a shrewd and capable person, but an illness took him away the year before last, and now the shopkeeper is young, and even the chef at the bottom is not convinced by him, so he naturally can't manage this restaurant." ”
Since this is the case, Lin Jiujiu feels that his heart is much more stable.
And if Yu Wenhao rents this restaurant to himself, plus a monthly share, it will not be much more profitable than this restaurant.
"Shopkeeper, I'll trouble you with this matter." Lin Jiujiu didn't want to come forward to negotiate with Yu Wenhao's subordinates.
She still maintains a simple interest relationship with Yu Wenhao, so that the two of them will not get along too stiffly.
The shopkeeper got Yu Wenhao's hint and nodded again and again.
Lin Jiujiu and Yu Wenhao separated at the east gate and walked towards Tianxiang Tower.
Along the way, Lin Jiujiu always felt that someone was following him. She suddenly regretted it, and she had already asked Yu Wenhao to send her back, or find another maid or maid.
No matter how she says now, she is also a popular figure in the capital, and she has a little money, maybe someone will take a fancy to her wealth and appearance, and come to rob wealth and sex.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiujiu's cold sweat came out.
She didn't want to give herself an account here.
Lin Jiujiu quickened her pace, but the person who followed her also quickened her pace.
This realization made the fear in Lin Jiujiu's heart even more powerful, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and she even pulled out the hairpin on her head, held it tightly in her hand, and then flashed into the alley next to her.
The next moment, a white figure appeared in her sight, and Lin Jiujiu didn't want to think about it, and stabbed towards that person. only listened to a muffled hum, but Lin Jiujiu felt that this voice was a little familiar.
She suppressed the fear in her heart, and only then did she see the person in front of her.
"Is that you?"
Lin Jiujiu never expected that the person who had been following him turned out to be Wen Yuandao.
She didn't show mercy at that moment, but fortunately, Wen Yuandao blocked it, but she just punctured her arm, which was not very serious.
Wen Yuandao sat on the second floor of Tianxiang Building, and there was an elegant fragrance from his nose.
He looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and his heart beat a little.
"What are you doing with me?" Thinking about what had just happened, Lin Jiujiu still had palpitations.
She was not very happy in her heart, and her words were a little unkind, "You sour literati are not self-proclaimed gentlemen, why do you still do this kind of stalking?" ”
Wen Yuandao was so frightened by Lin Jiujiu's words that he was about to stutter.
He shook his hand again and again, and said, "I wanted to thank the girl, but the girl was walking too fast, and I followed in a hurry." ”
"Thank you?" Lin Jiujiu originally thought that she was doing good deeds without leaving a name, but she didn't expect to be known so soon, and her heart was suddenly a little depressed.
Wen Yuandao lowered his head: "I heard that Xiao Er say that he is a ......"
He was a little embarrassed to say Xiao Er's original words, afraid that Lin Jiujiu would think that he would make a special trip to thank her because of her looks.
After thinking about it, he changed his words and said: "The description of Xiao Er is very similar to the girl, I later confirmed with Xiao Er, and I was sure that it was a girl, and the calligraphy and painting under it were really not worth fifty taels of silver, thank you for the girl's love." ”
"Then you pay me back." Lin Jiujiu just couldn't stand such sour words, so he stretched out his hand directly.
Wen Yuandao was stunned for a moment, and then heard Lin Jiujiu continue: "You are so unconfident in yourself, what kind of imperial examination are you still coming to participate in?" It's good to go home and farm directly, have you ever thought about how much your calligraphy and paintings are worth when you are the top student in high school? ”
Wen Yuandao was already stunned, but now he was even more stunned by Lin Jiujiu's words.
"Okay, you just treat me as a good deed every day, you also see, I am here to sell spices, and I can't put your calligraphy and paintings here, if you really soar, just sell your calligraphy and paintings, and return the silver to me."
Speaking of which, Lin Jiujiu was already a little impatient.
She doesn't like chirping crooked things the most, this Wen Yuandao doesn't look like a pedantic person, but he has been grinding for so long in order to order calligraphy and painting.
Wen Yuandao stood up and just wanted to leave, but suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked: "The girl's surname is Lin, I don't know who Lin Mohai is?" ”
Lin Jiujiu turned around: "Do you know my father?" ”
In front of Master Lin's spiritual seat.
Mrs. Lin kept wiping her tears, and Wen Yuandao cautiously kowtowed three times to Master Lin's spiritual position, and then kowtowed three times to Mrs. Lin.
"Good boy, good boy...... Mrs. Lin kept muttering, and then helped Wen Yuandao up.
Back then, Wen Yuandao was a beggar who fled to the capital, and if it weren't for the help of the Lin family and his wife, he would have starved to death a few years ago.
He always remembered the good of the Lin family and his wife, but he didn't expect that a few years later, it was the daughter of the Lin family who helped him.
Wen Yuandao talked to Mrs. Lin for a while, and Lin Jiujiu took him away.
"My father was killed." Lin Jiujiu suddenly spoke, breaking the silence between the two.
Wen Yuandao looked stunned: "Master Lin is such a good person, who killed him?" ”
Lin Jiujiu looked at him: "I can only tell you, that person is in a high position, although you have inherited the kindness of our family, but if you want to put it out of the way, I will not force you." ”
Wen Yuandao looked hurt and said indignantly: "The gentleman has something to do and something not to do, I have been in the cold for ten years just to support justice in high school, and Master Lin is my life-saving benefactor, even if I am a cloth cloth, I will do my best to avenge Master Lin!" Anyway, I'm alone, just this one life, and I'm afraid of what kind of high power he has. ”
Although these words sounded pedantic and even a little sour, Lin Jiujiu was still very satisfied with Wen Yuandao's attitude.
She patted Wen Yuandao on the shoulder, with a look of relief: "It's good that you can think so, now the most important thing for you is this imperial examination, and when you are in high school, I will naturally tell you about it." ”
