The dishes and chopsticks were quickly brought over, Hu Meiniang thanked her, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and looked at the shrimp dumplings, rice noodles, and several small stir-fried shrimp dumplings that flashed red on the table, and her stomach couldn't help but growl.

Seeing Hu Meiniang's blushing, Ling Chi smiled: "You're welcome, eat!" ”

"Hmm." In front of the food, Hu Meiniang couldn't care about embarrassment, and the moment she put a shrimp dumpling in her mouth, she forgot all her troubles and entered a fantasy world with only beauty.

"Ding, conquer the stomach of the ordinary red diner Hu Meiniang, the diner's level is too low, and it will not be counted in the number of conquests. Drops the normal red recipe - run away. ”

"Run and Run: Normal Red Recipe with 100% faster speed and 10 days cooldown when escaping."

……

Seeing the efficacy of this recipe, Ling Chi was a little funny, he didn't expect to add an escape skill, 100% doesn't seem like a lot, but when he enters the escape state, it is possible to save his life if he can run a little faster, not to mention doubling the speed, so the chance of success in escaping has been greatly improved, it is worthy of being a rabbit essence, and this life-saving stunt is no one.

Seeing Hu Meiniang's mouth sweeping the food on the table like a rabbit, Ling Chi put down the dishes and chopsticks and drank hot tea.

Su Mei smiled and gave Hu Meiniang a bowl to eat: "Eat more." ”

Look at the hungry children, pitiful ones.

"......" Xiaoqing looked at the less and less breakfast on the table, pursed her lips, and finally only ate six points full.

When Hu Meiniang swept away the food on the table and her belly was round, she stopped, and rationality returned.

Seeing the scene in front of her and recalling her previous behavior, Hu Meiniang instantly blushed and red-eared, meowed, covered her face with her hands, and refused to get up again when she lay on the table, hoping to find a crack to get into.

Ling Chi laughed and said, "Don't be shy, show me the embroidery." ”

Even if the shame and hatred couldn't be killed, Hu Meiniang still obediently sent the embroidery to Ling Chi.

"Hmm." Ling Chi looked at the embroidery handed over by Hu Meiniang, there were mandarin ducks, bamboo forests, flowers before the moon, and several of the ten scenes of the West Lake, each work was extremely exquisite and vivid.

"Good!" Even if he has seen modern precious embroidery, Ling Chi has to say that Hu Meiniang's embroidery is really good, and it is also the top in modern times, and this embroidery seems to have a trace of aura, as if the animals and beautiful scenery inside are alive.

Ling Chi's eyes were shining, this Hu Meiniang, if the embroidery level was improved a little more, or if the cultivation was higher, would all the embroidered things become real? It's like a magic weapon like the Mountains and Rivers Society, which can collect people and take people, or release fierce beasts to attack?

Thinking of this possibility, Ling Chi was not calm: "Mei Niang, you have done a good job, I am very satisfied." ”

Hu Meiniang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that the chef is satisfied." ”

"But this embroidery can only be used for viewing, which is a pity." After a pause, Ling Chi asked, "Do you know how to cut clothes?" ”

Hu Meiniang nodded again and again: "Mei Niang will, whether it is clothes, shoes and hats, Mei Niang has learned." ”

"That's great." Ling Chi's eyes brightened: "In the future, you will sew clothes, shoes and hats for me, and then embroider beautiful ornaments on them according to my requirements." ”

Speaking of this, Ling Chi said, "That's it! In the future, I will not buy your embroidery according to the quantity, and in the future you will be my exclusive embroiderer, and I will give you a salary of one hundred taels of silver every month, how about it? ”

"This ......" Hu Meiniang was excited, but she couldn't get an idea about being Lingchi's exclusive embroiderer.

"If you have any concerns, just say it." Ling Chi said: "I am not a tyrant who does not listen to people. ”

"Lord Kitchen misunderstood, it's not that Mei Niang has concerns, it's just that Mei Niang can't believe that she can become the exclusive embroidery girl of Lord Kitchen, and Mei Niang was a little flattered for a while." Hu Meiniang explained.

"I see." Ling Chi chuckled lightly and said, "Then it's no problem, I like your embroidery very much, and there are two months before the New Year, during this time, you can sew a new dress for me, Mei'er, and Xiaoqing......"

Ling Chi roughly said the style of clothes that needed to be sewn, Hu Meiniang wrote them down one by one, felt that there was no problem, and then chatted with Ling Chi for a few words, and then said goodbye and left.

After Hu Meiniang left, Su Mei asked, "Is Brother Ling in love with Mei Niang?" ”

Ling Chi nodded: "Her embroidery skills are indeed the best in the contemporary era, even the Weaver Girl in the sky is just like that, how can I let go of this kind of talent." ”

Xiaoqing snorted lightly: "I see! You're just looking at someone's body. ”

Ling Chi looked at her, chuckled, and asked, "Does it still hurt?" ”

Xiaoqing's face turned red: Bastard.

……

In the last two months before the New Year, there was nothing worth mentioning, only on the day of the New Year, Hu Meiniang made the new clothes that the three of them wore for the New Year, and they all embroidered their clothes, shoes and hats according to Ling Chi's requirements.

These embroideries are some beautiful patterns, but only those who don't understand think that this is just an ordinary pattern, and in the eyes of those who understand, they will definitely be surprised: this dress, shoes and hats are actually embroidered with formation patterns!?

That's right, the patterns on these clothes, shoes and hats are composed of a variety of different formations, for example, there is a King Kong array on the hat, which can make the hat trigger the effect as hard as King Kong when it receives a blow, and the helmet of the general on the battlefield is much harder.

The shoes have three formation effects: dust, water and lightweight, which look awesome, but they are nothing compared to clothes. Ling Chi's clothes, from underwear, middle clothes to outer clothes, have depicted a total of no less than ten formations, which can not only avoid dust, but also prevent damage from water and fire, and the effect is comparable to Tang Seng's brocade robe.

And it's much better-looking.

Not only Ling Chi was satisfied, but Su Mei and Xiaoqing were even more satisfied.

"It's so beautiful." Su Meixiao's eyes turned into crescent moons: "People have never worn such beautiful clothes." Mei Niang, your craftsmanship is so good. ”

"I can't be praised by Miss Su Mei." Hu Meiniang was modest in her mouth, but she was very happy in her heart, because she also felt that the clothes, shoes and hats she made were so beautiful that they could be called her pinnacle work.

Xiaoqing looked at her cyan dress, as well as the beautiful embroidery on the dress, she was also a little excited, and said in her heart: This rabbit essence's tailor embroidery skills are really extraordinary, it seems that the young master really likes her talent, not her body.

Thinking of this, Xiaoqing's hostility towards Hu Meiniang almost dissipated, which made Hu Meiniang feel inexplicably relieved.

"Mei Niang, you did a good job." Ling Chi took out fifteen taels of gold and handed it to her: "You take this money." ”

"No, no." Hu Meiniang refused again and again: "The chef gives too much, Mei Niang only needs one hundred taels of silver per month, and gives fifty taels more." ”

Ling Chi said with a smile: "I didn't give much, the remaining fifty taels were rewarded to you for your good work." It's almost the New Year, you take the money to buy shoes and what you want, and also, start giving you annual leave now, and arrange work for you after the Lantern Festival. ”

"That'...... Thank you, Lord Kitchen. "After all, Hu Meiniang is the jade rabbit of Yaochi, she has seen the style of the queen mother, compared to the queen mother's mother, who is not so tolerant of her subordinates, Ling Chi's attitude towards her subordinates is simply too good, she is willing to work for Ling Chi for a lifetime.

"No thanks, you go!" Ling Chi smiled.

"Yes, Mei Niang retired." Hu Meiniang grabbed fifteen taels of gold and left, speaking of which, this is the first time she has gold in her life, one tael of gold is equivalent to ten taels of silver, these fifteen taels of gold do not seem to be much, but it is the income of ordinary people for more than ten years in exchange for silver.

"Let's go!" Ling Chi said to Su Mei and Xiao Qing: "Wearing such beautiful clothes, go out with Young Master Ben to go out for a wave." ”

"Phew!" Xiaoqing snorted lightly: "What a wave!" It's ugly. ”

Su Mei grinned and said, "Okay, good!" People like it the most. ”

Xiaoqing looked helpless, why is there no one in this family who has discipline? I can't live this day.

Soon after, the three of them walked out of Ling's Mansion and ran to the crowded street. Although Qiantang County is rich, but only relatively speaking, although ordinary people say that they have no worries about food and clothing, it is not so easy to wear beautiful clothes, even if they buy a few feet of cloth to sew new clothes during the New Year, the style is at most just to make the color match look better, how can it be like Ling Chi and Su Mei, Xiaoqing, these three clothes, not only bright colors, and beautiful decorations, all the men and women who see their clothes, all show amazing colors.

Among them is Xu Jiaorong, who is wandering on the street.

"Huh? This...... Isn't this Ling Gongzi! Xu Jiaorong was first amazed by Ling Chi's clothes, but after seeing Ling Chi's appearance, she immediately stepped forward quickly and said, "But Ling Gongzi is in person?" ”

Ling Chi stopped, looked at Xu Jiaorong who was walking towards him, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li also came to hang out on the street?" ”

Seeing that Ling Chi recognized herself, Xu Jiaorong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Yes! Isn't it almost the New Year, so I came out to buy something for the New Year, I don't know if Ling Gongzi's family has bought all the New Year's goods? ”

"I've bought it all." Ling Chi smiled and said, "I don't know if Li Zhu is good lately?" ”

"Okay, since Ling Gongzi eliminated the thief who stole the treasury silver, my father-in-law has never been beaten by the board, and the concubine wants to thank Ling Gongzi here." As she spoke, Xu Jiaorong was about to salute.

"Mrs. Li doesn't have to be polite." Ling Chi waved his hand and said, "It's just a good time." ”

"It's easy for Ling Gongzi, but for the concubine, it avoids the danger of the Xianggong being dismissed and investigated, I wonder if Ling Gongzi is free now? The concubine wanted to invite Ling Gongzi to come to the house for a while, so as to thank Ling Gongzi for one or two. Xu Jiaorong said.

"Hmm......" Ling Chi thought for a while and said, "It's okay, it's okay to be left and right now, so I'll disturb Mrs. Li." ”

Seeing Ling Chi agree, Xu Jiaorong was very happy: "Great, Ling Gongzi, two girls, please come with me." ”

"Madame Lau Lee will lead the way."

Xu Jiaorong's invitation to Ling Chi to be a guest at home was seen and remembered by many good people, in addition to guessing what the relationship between Ling Chi and Xu Jiaorong was, more of a glance at Xu Jiaorong and Li Gongfu: I have a friendship with the son of the Ling Mansion, and it seems that the Li family is about to develop.

Ignoring the thoughts of passers-by, the group of four soon came to Xu Jiaorong's house. Although Xu Jiaorong and Li Gongfu are just ordinary people, the Southern Song Dynasty was indeed rich and the people were rich, even if they were ordinary people, there were several houses they lived in, and there was even a small courtyard. But in this era, the life of the people of the Southern Song Dynasty was indeed good. It is no wonder that the Southern Song Dynasty became the only dynasty in which civil and military officials and ordinary people would rather commit suicide by jumping into the river than surrender when the country fell.

The Southern Song Dynasty did let the common people live a good life, but it was a pity that it was finally destroyed by barbarism, which is a pity.

"The humble house is shabby, please don't dislike Ling Gongzi and the two girls." Passing through the courtyard and entering the main hall, Xu Jiaorong said.

"Nope." Ling Chi glanced at the layout and furnishings of the main hall and praised: "Mrs. Li's family is very good, and there is a strong sense of warmth in the home, which shows that Mrs. Li's family has a very beautiful life, which is enviable. ”

"How can it be as good as Ling Gongzi said." Xu Jiaorong smiled and said, "Young Master Ling and the two girls, please sit down, and the concubine will go to make tea." ”

"There's Mrs. Lawry."

Xu Jiaorong was busy when she heard a knock on the door: "Open the door and open the door!" ”

Hearing this rude call to the door, Ling Chi knew that it was Li Gongfu who was back, and Xu Jiaorong also hurriedly went to open the door.

The door opened, and Xu Jiaorong saw that Li Gongfu was full of alcohol, and suddenly became angry: "Gongfu, why are you drinking again!?" ”

Seeing that his wife was angry, Li Gongfu coughed dryly and said, "I didn't drink much, isn't this the Yamen going to take annual leave!" The brothers got together in advance, don't worry, I really didn't drink much. ”

"It's strange to believe you." Xu Jiaorong rolled her eyes, if it weren't for Ling Chi's them, she would have to sneak through Li Gongfu's ears today and recite a tight mantra, so that he would know what would happen if he drank without the permission of the 'leader'.

"Come in, there's a guest at home." Xu Jiaorong said.

"Guests? What guests? Although Li Gongfu was drunk, his mind was very sober, and he glanced at the main hall, and was immediately stunned: "Ling Gongzi? ”

Ling Chi got up and clenched his fists: "Li Zhutou, it's been a long time." ”

"Well, it's been a long time." Li Gongfu walked into the main hall, and when he saw that Ling Chi was followed by two beautiful women like fairies, his heart suddenly became sour, and he said, "Why did Ling Gongzi have time to come to the cold house today?" ”

"I met Ling Gongzi on the street and specially invited him." Xu Jiaorong walked in and said, "I'm preparing refreshments, Gongfu, you accompany Ling Gongzi to have a good chat, don't slack off." ”

"Don't worry! When has my Li Gongfu ever done something unreliable? "Li Gongfu took it all over.

Xu Jiaorong rolled her eyes, confessed to Ling Chi, and prepared refreshments.

Li Gongfu untied the long knife at his waist, put it on the table casually, and said, "Ling Gongzi, we haven't seen each other for a few months, right?" ”
