Chapter 701: Entering the Lin Family

After reading King Yu's letter, King Yan was already a little restless.

He always felt that things were not as simple as the letter said.

Especially Lu Jiu's face that is quite similar to Princess Yu, as well as that temperament......

The problem may have been with the farmer's family.

Fortunately, the letter also mentioned that King Yan sent a thousand gold to the farmer, and he wanted to find the farmer who suddenly made a fortune during that time, or according to the village mentioned in the letter, to find it nearby.

This matter involved the royal heirs, and King Yan decided to investigate it himself.

If things were as he had suspected, he should at least get the kid justice.

If not, he would have forgotten a matter in his heart, and if he saw Lu Jiu again, he should be able to be more calm.

……

Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu went back to the town the next day, operating in many ways, Xia Qiqi even mixed up with the Lin family to be a cook, Lu Jiu was looking for a broken temple outside, to see if he could happen to find the evidence of Dai Erqiang's life.

The cook is in the back kitchen all the year round, don't go in and out of the backyard, and she is not afraid of being suspicious, or even discovered by the Lin family.

She stayed at Lin's house for two days, and she became familiar with several mothers-in-law in the kitchen.

inquired openly and secretly, and really asked about Dai Erqiang's news.

"There is indeed a strange person in our house, who came on the day of the New Year, and he had to eat three or five catties of beef every day, and the wine should be the best. Even...... Even the good-looking maids in the house made him spoil several times. ”

The one who spoke was a dishwasher, surnamed Tian, who was the most broken and greedy for money.

Xia Qiqi stuffed some silver, Tian Pozi said everything, and even looked like she was digging out her heart and lungs with Xia Qiqi.

"Little girl, I see that you are young, don't leave the kitchen easily, if you are taken by that strange person, your innocence will be ruined!" Tian Pozi rushed to Xia Qiqidao.

"Mother-in-law, I know, thank you! But why does our master keep that kind of person, bullying the maids in our house, what is this? Xia Qiqi deliberately spoke.

"Not really! But there is no way, the master gives a lot of money, and the maids, which ones are not short of money? If not, why don't you keep it in your own home? ”

Mrs. Tian sighed while grasping the work in hand.

Xia Qiqi didn't dare to be lazy, washing and chopping vegetables, and he was busy with his heels not touching the ground.

The people in the kitchen saw that she was young and diligent, and they didn't have any opinion of her.

At lunchtime, the kitchen made beef and shochu.

Xia Qiqi knew that it was sent to Dai Erqiang.

She thought about it and felt that she should think of a way to send food to Dai Erqiang.

Let's see if we can get some words out of Dai Erqiang's mouth.

When the meal was ready, the people sent by Steward Lin came to the kitchen and asked the kitchen to arrange for someone to deliver food to Dai Erqiang.

Before Xia Qiqi came, the job of delivering food was a man named Guo Shoutian.

Probably because Dai Erqiang was too fierce, every time he returned to deliver food, Guo Shoutian looked reluctant, and he couldn't wait to find someone to replace him.

Xia Qiqi also heard about this from Mrs. Tian's mouth, and after the people sent by Steward Lin urged him to deliver the meal, the kitchen began to put the prepared meals for Guo Shoutian into the food box.

Guo Shoutian carried the food box and walked out with a vegetable on his face.

Xia Qiqi took advantage of everyone's inattention and followed Guo Shoutian out.

Then he deliberately called Guo Shoutian outside, "Brother Guo, where are you going?" ”

Xia Qiqi smiled at Guo Shoutian and asked softly.

Guo Shoutian glanced at Xia Qiqi, then at the kitchen behind him, remembering Dai Erqiang's insult to himself that day, after his eyes rolled, he suddenly covered his stomach and said to Xia Qiqi: "Ouch, it's you...... It's just right to come, you go and deliver food to the distinguished guest in Huangshan Courtyard, my stomach hurts, and I can't get out for a while. Don't worry, if you do Brother Guo this favor, in the future, in this kitchen, your Brother Guo will support you, and no one will dare to bully you. ”

Guo Shoutian is the most worry-free Xia Qiqi has ever seen.

She hadn't figured out what method to use herself, coaxing Guo Shoutian to let her deliver food, but he was good and took the initiative to bring it up, saving her a lot of trouble.

Xia Qiqi made a pretense and said with an embarrassed face, "Isn't this okay?" Hasn't it always been Brother Guo's delivery to deliver food to that distinguished guest? If the kitchen manager knew that I was gone, would he be angry? And that distinguished guest, will he be angry? ”

When Guo Shoutian heard Xia Qiqi say this, his face suddenly became unsightly.

Xia Qiqi has only been in the kitchen for two days, but he looks honest in the past two days, he doesn't dare to say much, he doesn't dare to eat more, and on weekdays, he is with Tian Pozi's broken mouth.

I thought it was easy to handle, but I didn't expect it to be a coward.

But the more unwilling and refusaled, the more Guo Shoutian wanted to let the person in front of him go.

He directly handed the food box to Xia Qiqi, "You have to go, you have to go if you don't go, if you don't go, if this matter is messed up, the Lin family won't keep you, you can do it yourself!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, still in the direction of the thatched house.

He thought that if he squatted in the hut for an hour and a half, even if something happened, he would have a reason to get away with it.

This person has three urgency, and it will not be enough to let a big living person be suffocated to death by urine, right?

Guo Shoutian quickly disappeared.

Xia Qiqi pretended to hold the food box, looked at the kitchen for a while, looked at the direction of Guo Shoutian for a while, stomped his feet, and then went to the Huangshan Courtyard where Dai Erqiang was staying.

There are many courtyards in the Lin family's house, and each courtyard has its own name.

Lin Hou'er's courtyard is called Furong Courtyard, Lin Zi'er's is called Fujin Courtyard, and then there are some fragmentary names, some of which were obtained by Lin Shaocheng, and some were taken by Lin Shao'er and Lin Zi'er.

As for this Huangshan Courtyard, it is the most remote courtyard of the entire Lin family.

Lin Shaocheng probably cared about Dai Erqiang's identity and ability, and he had always not let the subordinates in the mansion get close to the courtyard.

There was even a nursing home outside.

Xia Qiqi carried the food box and walked to the edge of the courtyard, but the courtyard stopped her way.

"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you? Guo Shoutianle! ”

The nurse's tone was rude, and the gaze that looked at Xia Qiqi was extremely terrifying.

Xia Qiqi deliberately shrank his body, trembled his voice, and whispered: "I am Xiaohong in the backyard, and I am the cook." Brother Guo has a stomach, afraid of starving the distinguished guests, let me deliver the meal, this is the meal from our backyard, I don't believe the two big brothers. ”

Xia Qiqi opened the lid of the food box, revealing the dishes and chopsticks dedicated to the Lin family inside.

Speaking of which, Lin Shaocheng is also a little scheming, up and down the house, dressed and used, all of them are unified.

If it is not for the people in the house, it is not easy for people outside to pretend.

This is also the reason why Xia Qiqi chose to disguise herself in the house.
