Chapter 273: Xia Shan and Su Xiaoshu
It was Yuan Shi who pushed the door in: "Miss Lin, Xiao Er is not here, I'll call him." ”
"You asked him to call their Xia Shan and Chef Su Xiaoshu, saying that the old man of the Northern Yan Kingdom was here and invited him to meet." Lin Xiaozhu said.
"Yes." Yuan Shi answered.
When Yuan Tianye had not yet seized power, because of confidential issues, Lin Xiaozhu never asked Xia Shan about their situation. Later, so many things happened, and Shen Ziyi didn't give the two of them a chance to be alone along the way, Lin Xiaozhu knew that there were some things that were not appropriate for Shen Ziyi to know, so he didn't ask. At this time, while Yuan Shi was looking for Xia Shan, Lin Xiaozhu hurriedly asked about the situation of these people.
But it turned out that after Lin Xiaozhu left the villa, Xia Shan and the others were sent to the homes of important personnel in Beiyan to be cooks and complete their respective tasks. After Yuan Tianye seized power, most of the others remained in place, while Xia Shan and Su Xiaoshu were sent to the South China Sea to open this restaurant.
"Their families have been picked up. And the income of this restaurant, I give them a dividend of 20% per person every year. Yuan Tianye said.
"The same goes for everyone else?" Lin Xiaozhu looked at Yuan Tianye.
"I will do what I promised them. I never treated them badly in terms of money, and I also took out the families of those who made achievements and settled them properly. However, because Xia Shan once took care of you, he has more dividends than everyone else. ”
Lin Xiaozhu was silent for a moment, and asked a question that he had always wanted to ask but felt he shouldn't ask: "What about Wu Caiyun and them?" "What happened to these girls who were sent to be concubines was what she always wanted to know. She didn't approve of Yuan Tianye's approach, but she could understand that he had to do it.
Yuan Tianye also knew that this was Lin Xiaozhu's heart knot, and patiently explained: "When I sent them to be concubines, I asked them. They volunteered. Xia Shan: They have completed their mission, but they are still my men, and their deeds of sale are still in my hands. But those women who are concubines. They received a relatively good sum of money, and they took their families and sent them to a place where no one knew them. Gained the second half of his life of freedom and prosperity. ”
Lin Xiaozhu let out a long sigh of relief. How to choose is everyone's own freedom. Yuan Tianye at least gave them a chance to choose. and properly resettled them, which is not too much. As for them, they can be regarded as having their own place.
Yuan Tianye stretched out his hand and touched Lin Xiaozhu's face, "Your uncle, what are you going to do?" ”
Lin Xiaozhu let out a long sigh: "Please send someone to help me bring a hundred taels of silver to them." As for picking it up. Or don't. In fact, in the mountains, it is more difficult to be material, but life is relatively simple, and there are not so many troubles. My uncle is a gambler, and my aunt is restless. Take them out, if they know that I am going to marry you, I don't know what kind of mess will happen. Sending some money in regularly to make them rich in the local area can be regarded as repaying the grace of parenting. ”
Yuan Tianye nodded and took her hand.
"Da Da Da ......" There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor.
"Here they are." Lin Xiaozhu wanted to pull his hand out. found that Yuan Tianye held it tightly, but he didn't let go.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Lin Xiaozhu said angrily, and then pulled his hand hard. But it still didn't pull it out. At this time, Yuan Shi's voice came from the door: "Childe, Miss Lin, Xia Shan and Su Xiaoshu have arrived." ”
"Let them in." Yuan Tianye said.
Yuan Shi pushed open the door: "Two of you, please come in." ”
The first thing to enter is Xia Shan. After not seeing him for more than a year, he has grown taller again, and the only bit of childishness on his original face has completely disappeared, and his face looks even more cold and mature. As soon as he entered the door, his eyes were fixed on Lin Xiaozhu, and seeing that Lin Xiaozhu was even more pretty, his gaze suddenly stirred up ripples, and then slowly became hot, and he called out in a trembling voice: "Xiaozhu." "I have long forgotten that I should pay homage to Yuan Tianye first.
And Su Xiaoshu, who came in closely, was full of excitement in his eyes, but when he saw Xia Shan's appearance, his face gradually became depressed, and he bit his lip and looked at Lin Xiaozhu.
"Xia Shan, Su Xiaoshu." Suddenly seeing two friends, Lin Xiaozhu was naturally very happy. She stood up and wanted to run to Xia Shan and Su Xiaoshu and give Su Xiaoshu a hug, but she didn't want the hand Yuan Tianye was holding to pull her, and she stumbled and almost touched the chair behind her. Fortunately, Yuan Tianye held her waist in time and survived.
"You're always hairy." Yuan Tianye looked at her dotingly.
Xia Shan looked at the two hands that were held together, one big and one small, and then looked at the big hand on Lin Xiaozhu's waist, Yuan Tianye's eyes were full of doting, and Lin Xiaozhu not only did not resist, but also smiled at Yuan Tianye, he couldn't help clenching the fist in his sleeve, and his jaw bone was clenched. And Su Xiaoshu looked at this scene, his face was full of surprise, and he couldn't believe it.
"Why, when you see my master, don't you even have a salute?" Yuan Tianye's face suddenly turned cold.
Xia Shan and Su Xiaoshu were suddenly startled, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Subordinate Xia Shan (Su Xiaoshu) to see the prince." ”
Lin Xiaozhu saw that the direction in which they were kneeling was herself, and hurriedly wanted to dodge to the side, but she didn't want Yuan Tianye's hand to be extremely strong, firmly imprisoning her and preventing her from moving. At this time, he couldn't argue with Yuan Tianye, so he had no choice but to accept a big gift from Xia Shan and Su Xiaoshu with Yuan Tianye.
"Get up." Yuan Tianye said, his voice was still so majestic.
"Yes." Xia Shan and Su Xiaoshu got up, but they hung their heads and stood with their hands solemn, no longer daring to look at Lin Xiaozhu.
"Tell me about your business." Yuan Tianye said coldly, dragging Lin Xiaozhu to sit down.
"Yes." Xia Shan responded and talked about the business situation in the past few months. Yuan Tianye sent the two of them to take charge of the kitchen, and also sent a shopkeeper to manage it, which was similar to the hot pot restaurant opened by Lin Xiaozhu in Yanjing. The restaurant has been "boiling the wharf" for the first two or three months, and as everyone slowly knows that their craftsmanship is exquisite, more and more people come to eat, and now the business has been done, and it has begun to make a profit since last month.
"Well, good job." Yuan Tianye said. asked about the situation of the two of their families again, and when they heard that the prince still cared about his family, Xia Shan and Su Xiaoshu were very moved and told them about the situation.
"Okay, after the business talks, sit down and talk to Xiaozhu." Yuan Tianye stood up, turned his head and said softly to Lin Xiaozhu: "I'll go out and talk to the shopkeeper, you guys have a good chat." ”
Yuan Tianye is here, Xia Shan and Su Xiaoshu must be restrained, and the three of them must be boring to speak. Lin Xiaozhu was very grateful to Yuan Tianye for this thoughtful behavior, and smiled at him: "Okay." ”
Yuan Tianye squeezed her hand lightly and turned to go out.
Seeing that Yuan Shi also went out, Su Xiaoshu breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and stared at Lin Xiaozhu and said, "Xiaozhu, you and the prince are ...... this"
How can my experience with Yuan Tianye be clear in a few words? And the two did not get married, and there are many variables in this. Lin Xiaozhu didn't want to explain too much, so he only nodded vaguely: "It's what you imagined." ”
Xia Shan's face changed, and he lowered his voice and said, "Xiaozhu, don't be confused, the concubine of a wealthy and noble family, how can she be so easy to be?" When I was a cook in Beiyan, I watched the housewife beat a concubine to death. That kind of life, which seems to be full of flowers, is actually secretly dirty. ”
"Yes, yes, you remember Wu Caiyun, right? When she was in Duanwang's mansion, she quietly complained to me, saying that on the surface, there were slaves and maids to serve, beautiful clothes to wear, and delicacies from the mountains and seas to eat, but she was worried all day long, for fear that she would be calculated, for fear that if the master mother was unhappy, for fear that Duanwang would be unhappy. said that she would definitely find a common man to live a good life in the future, and never go to a rich family to be a concubine. I see that she is tired in her heart, where is it called living? Pure sin! She can't help it, but you're different. Xiaozhu, you can marry a prince's subordinate and live a monogamous life. Su Xiaoshu said.
Lin Xiaozhu looked at Su Xiaoshu with emotion. Su Xiaoshu is probably the most eager to marry himself for the sake of Xia Shan, right? But he still spoke out to advise himself. She really doesn't have to pick on her kindness to herself.
Lin Xiaozhu stepped forward, held Su Xiaoshu's hand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not a concubine, the prince said that he would marry me as his wife." ”
"Wife?" Xia Shan and Su Xiaoshu were both taken aback, and looked at Lin Xiaozhu in disbelief, "Really? ”
"Really." Lin Xiaozhu nodded vigorously.
"Princess Yi?" Su Xiaoshu asked again.
"Yes, Princess Yi." Lin Xiaozhu said, "When he was crowned king, the queen mother wanted me to be a side concubine, but he refused. ”
"You ......" Su Xiaoshu looked at Lin Xiaozhu in disbelief, "Xiaozhu, don't you have any hidden secrets about your family background?" Maybe...... Who recognized you as a goddaughter? ”
"Uh, no." Lin Xiaozhu was asked by Su Xiaoshu, and suddenly felt a little upset. Yuan Tianye, he won't know that he has a jade plate, right? He wouldn't have agreed to marry him because of the jade brand, right? If so, then......
Su Xiaoshu saw that Lin Xiaozhu was a little stunned, and said worriedly: "Xiaozhu ......"
"I'm fine, don't worry, he's really good to me." Lin Xiaozhu was not so much comforting Su Xiaoshu as comforting himself.
"That's good, that's good." Su Xiaoshu thought that Lin Xiaozhu had a home, and Xia Shan would no longer have illusions about her, and his heart suddenly became happy.
Xia Shan looked at Lin Xiaozhu with a gloomy expression and stopped making a sound.
"What are you doing now? Where does the family live? What do they usually do? Lin Xiaozhu asked about their current situation.
Su Xiaoshu told the situation of the two families, and then glanced at Xia Shan. In fact, Xia Shan's parents also hope that the two families can become in-laws.
The three of them chatted for a while before Yuan Tianye came back and said, "Let's talk about it here today." Shen Ziyi sent someone to find him, saying that there was something urgent. ”
