In the light-lit room, there are many counters, paintings hanging from the walls, and white porcelain vases filled with fresh flowers. The same ornaments on the counter are delicate in color and original in style, and they are even more luxurious against the backdrop of carved wooden boxes and white printed silk.

Lin Qingyu didn't stay long before she came upstairs to the first floor, and was choosing small objects, when she heard a string of footsteps behind her, she frowned and turned back vigilantly: "Meng Dong? You don't hide well, you dare to come out like this? ”

"Miss Lin......" Meng Dong bowed, and a trace of hesitation flashed on his face.

Lin Qingyu put down the sachet in her hand and let Xiao Er pick it up, before she raised her eyes to look at Meng Dong, without too much expression on her face, and said lightly: "Let's go to the backyard, I don't want to cause trouble." ”

The snow pavilion is very large, and the backyard is naturally not small. A four-cornered pavilion with an old paulownia tree and a few peach trees on the side. The fat leaves on the paulownia tree look shiny, cutting the falling sunlight to pieces. Although the peach blossoms are blooming, they are not as good as the wind mansion under the dark eaves.

Lin Qingyu and Meng Dong sat opposite each other in the pavilion, and someone saw Lin Qingyu coming, and immediately added tea and water.

When there was no one, Lin Qingyu lazily lifted her eyelids: "In the matter of the Peach Blossom Banquet, I am embarrassed for you, but this is also angry for yourself" She smiled, her fingers touched the edge of the teacup but did not hold it: "What's the matter with me?" ”

Meng Dong couldn't believe that such a fourth-class concubine could be treated like a master in the Snow Pavilion, but he didn't want to explore anything, so he just thanked him first: "Although everyone takes what they need, I still thank Miss Lin for helping me buy back the deed of sale, as well as the gift of silver money and taking it in." ”

"You have affection and righteousness, but you should also know that people like me are not good people." Lin Qingyu sighed slightly, and couldn't help but remind: "My ugly words are ahead, you help me deal with Lin Suyao is an unsightly thing, don't try to blackmail me with this......" She pursed her lips, and a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes: "My methods are not weaker than Zhao Changge." ”

Meng Dong raised his head to meet Lin Qingyu's moist and clear eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head again: "I naturally understand, but after leaving the Zhao family, I have nowhere to go, I don't know if Miss Lin needs manpower?" ”

Meng Dong is a smart person, talented, but unfortunately his family background is not good, and he is still a little arrogant in his bones, so it is naturally not uncommon to be Lin Qingyu's little servant. He guessed that Lin Qingyu had some friendship with the shopkeeper of Snow Pavilion, and he knew that he was not suitable for officialdom, so he wanted to switch to a shopping mall. It's a presumptuous, but it's not an opportunity.

"You're welcome." Lin Qingyu stood up, walked to the edge of the pavilion and folded off a peach blossom, her eyelashes trembled: "I don't hide it from you, the reason why there was a previous cooperation was only because I sympathized with you." It's true that I'm going to take over the Snow Pavilion and there's a shortage of manpower, but you can't. ”

"Why?" When Meng Dong heard Lin Qingyu say that he was going to take over the Snow Pavilion, he felt a storm in his heart, but when he heard her say that he couldn't do it, he poured it on his head like a basin of cold water.

Lin Qingyu turned her head and hooked her lips and smiled a little sarcastically: "Because you are too self-contained and high-minded, I don't want an upright and pedantic subordinate." Tell me about it, are you heartfelt enough? Can you help me hurt people? ”

"I ......" Meng Dong paused and was silent. He is arrogant, so he is naturally unwilling to succumb to such a yellow-haired little girl.

"Let's leave Kyoto when the limelight is over." Lin Qingyu was not surprised by Meng Dong's reaction at all, she knew the truth of preferring lack to abundance in her previous life, and she had no intention of getting involved in wealth and nobility in this life, so she was not in a hurry to recruit henchmen: "You can go anywhere, Zhao Changge is just a deep lady after all, and her hand can't stretch out so long." She paused: "By the way, sometimes being a good person doesn't end well. ”

Lin Qingyu bought a few things and went back, but Ji Lao didn't ask for it when he paid for it.

"Miss Thirteen is going to take over the Snow Pavilion after all."

Lin Qingyu didn't insist, Ji Lao had a status in the Su Gang, and she was also respectful: "Thank you Uncle Ji for helping to redeem people before, and those drugs ......" Lin Qingyu raised her eyes, and her eyes were faintly dark: "I heard that there is a drug that makes people weak, I don't know if I can ...... it"

"Chen An, bring it to Miss Thirteen." Ji Lao instructed Xiao Er and reminded Lin Qingyu a few words: "It's good that you are young but have a heart, but you can't lose your heart." ”

Ji Lao knew some things about Lin Qingyu, and he also knew that the things she wanted were all harmful things that were not taken out properly. Although he didn't persuade Lin Qingyu how to be good, he still felt that it was not good to put his mind on the crooked path at such an age.

"Thank you Uncle Ji for your teachings, I will try my best to keep my heart. But...... But I will not allow those who harm me to live under my nose. Lin Qingyu smiled well-behaved and cute, but the words she said made people shudder for no reason.

Ji Lao sighed, and secretly said in his heart that Su Liuzhuo refused to recognize Su Liyun, causing such a little girl to become so deep and obedient in order to protect herself. He still remembered seeing the nine-year-old Lin Qingyu once, although she was not doing very well in the Lin family, she was simple and cute. A few days ago, he heard that the daughter of the Lin family almost killed Lin Qingyu by pushing Lin Qingyu into the pool......

Ji Lao has always been thinking about Lin Liyun's mother, who is a gentle and kind Jiangnan woman, and her granddaughter should be as kind as her. Therefore, Ji Lao firmly believes that Lin Qingyu was bullied so hard that there would be such a big change.

Ji Lao looked at Lin Qingyu's eyes with more pity: "Since you are now also the president of the Su Gang, that is, my master, although you are not good at exposing your relationship with the Su Gang, with my thin face, you can still ask the Ninth Master to take care of you." ”

"Ninth Master?" Lin Qingyu was stunned, the mysterious ninth master who was only in the Su Gang was Su Liuzhuo, even if she was reused in her previous life, she had never seen this person.

Chen An, who came over with a small box, also flashed a trace of surprise in his eyes, wondering why Ji Lao wanted to help this little girl who had just joined the Su Gang to gain a firm foothold, and he felt that Lin Qingyu did not have the qualifications to cross so many old people to become the president. It's also too unfair to rely on blood alone.

"I'll arrange for you to meet then."

Lin Qingyu nodded flatteredly, she just wanted to come out and buy a drug to win over the relationship, who knew that she could get Su Liuzhuo's favor and Ji Lao's help.

It was already afternoon when I returned to Lin's house.

Su Liyun was waiting in the courtyard in a hurry, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Lin Qingyu finally came back, and pulled her to blame: "How can you say that you will go out for a while, but so much time has passed, do you really want to make your mother scared?" ”

"Mother, I went to the Snow Pavilion today to buy a few things for my mother, and I'll explain it to you later." Lin Qingyu smiled very sweetly, and her eyes were full of brilliance: "Do you like these things?" The shopkeeper saw that I looked cute, and it was a lot cheaper. ”

Of course, she didn't dare to say that the other party didn't ask for money at all.

"The shopkeeper has a good look, and our Ah Yan is not the cutest girl. As long as it's something sent by Ah Yan, my mother likes it. Su Liyun didn't think there was anything wrong with what Lin Qingyu said, seeing that her daughter had grown taller again, she touched her cheek and smiled: "Today, my mother asked Fuchun to buy some beautiful fabrics, and you can choose two to make new clothes." ”

In the end, Lin Qingyu chose two batches of red fabrics, probably because she was too plain in her previous life, and now she likes it very much when she sees the bright colors.

Su Liyun asked Fu Chun to send Lin Qingyu's height and size with two horses of material and a new amount to the Luo Yi shop, and teased Lin Qingyu: "In the past, you didn't like these fancy colors, why did you change your temperament today?" Didn't you fall in love with that man? ”

"Mother, don't talk nonsense, I just don't think I can wear it like Lin Suyao, lest others say I'm like her." Lin Qingyu replied with a smile.

"It's definitely different." Su Liyun's face changed slightly, and her tone was a little lower: "The old lady said that she would lock Lin Suyao in the confinement room, and I don't know when she would be locked up, but your father agreed." She sighed, and her willow eyebrows frowned: "In the future, you still don't want to mess with the old lady, she is ruthless and doesn't say anything about it." ”

"I know" Lin Qingyu's eyes flashed: "When I came back just now, I saw a beautiful woman in the house, I don't know who it is?" ”

"Your father's concubine." Su Liyun's tone was a little gloomy, and she coaxed Lin Qingyu in a good voice: "When you see it, remember to call Aunt Xiao, if you don't get along well and ignore her, you are your father's favorite daughter after all, and he won't blame you for being rude." ”

The most loved?

Lin Qingyu really wanted to sneer, Lin Qiwen, who loved her the most at this time in her previous life, personally sent her into the dark forbidden room. At that time, she cried and knelt down to beg him, but Lin Qiwen didn't care about the relationship between father and daughter. I didn't see the shadow of the most beloved.

Su Liyun saw that Lin Qingyu's face was not good-looking, thinking that she was unhappy because of Aunt Xiao's affairs, so she coaxed a few more sentences.

Lin Qingyu put Su Liyun's cold hand in her palm with her small hand and covered it: "Don't worry, mother, I won't embarrass my mother." ”

She just remembered that Lin Qiwen had a son in the year she was locked up, as if he was born to an aunt surnamed Xiao, but he was like an old lady baby. Lin Qiwen, who had a son, was also completely cold to Su Liyun, who didn't give him a good look all day long.

Lin Qingyu squinted her eyes and sneered lightly, but unfortunately she was a cheap son raised by others.

Su Liyun looked at her more and more sensible daughter with relief, and felt a little bitter in her heart: "Mother won't let people bully you." ”

After a while, Lin Qiwen came to the Pear Flower Courtyard, and saw Su Liyun's mother and daughter eating flower cakes in the flower hall, tidied up their clothes before walking up, with a flattering smile on their faces: "I heard that Ah Yan went out to play today, but are you still happy?" ”

Lin Qingyu patted the crumbs on her hands, and said to Lin Qiwen with a smile: "Happy." ”

"Before, my father thought that Su Yao was a good person, and it was wrong to snub you as a father." Lin Qiwen sat on the chair that the next person had just added, with concern on his face: "Fortunately, you are okay this time, otherwise how would I face your mother." He turned his head and looked at Su Liyun with a clear complexion.

Although Su Liyun didn't have any thoughts about Lin Qiwen, she saw that he was still very good to her daughter, so she poured him a cup of tea and smiled at him: "How can Ah Yan blame you, you dote on her, she should know in her heart." ”

Lin Qiwen agreed: "Among my children, I love Ah Yan, she looks like you, and she is so moving." ”

"I heard from people outside that the fifth sister was framed, but the old lady locked up the poor fifth sister indiscriminately. If it were me, Daddy would definitely find things out, wouldn't he? Lin Qingyu's smile became brighter and brighter, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

Lin Qiwen was silent for a long time before he said with some embarrassment: "How can this happen, you don't have to think nonsense." ”

Su Liyun is a smart person, although she was surprised that Lin Qingyu could have such concerns, but she was only afraid. Hearing Lin Qiwen's words, the soft color in his eyes disappeared completely.
