Song Xiaomei also saw that he had entered a certain state, and saw that he went out in the morning and would not come back until the evening, so she helped him prepare all the dry food for noon, saving him money outside, knowing that he didn't have much money.

In addition to thanking him, Lin Yuan really couldn't show anything practical.

He knew very well that if he hadn't met this person, it would be difficult for him to prepare at ease in the immortal capital with his current conditions and conditions.

A few days passed peacefully.

One evening, not long after Lin Yuan came back from the back door of Rong Shangzhai, he was silently memorizing things in the utility room.

Song Xiaomei knocked on the door and entered, approached with a sideways face, put down the food box and said, "You eat slowly, I'll get it when I get back." ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Song Xiaomei: "I'm at the meal, when I'm busy, I'm busy with the meal, and my sisters and I will eat together." ”

Lin Yuan nodded, probably knowing their routines, and didn't say much.

Song Xiaomei was about to turn around and leave, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and someone pushed the door directly in, it was Rong Shang who had changed into a white dress.

Seeing that it was her, Lin Yuan quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Sister Rong." ”

Rong Shang glanced at him, and when he saw that he looked casual, he didn't say anything, and only asked the nervous Song Xiaomei, "Are you okay?"

"No... It's okay. Song Xiaomei's tone was very embarrassing, and she always turned her face sideways to prevent Lin Yuan from seeing the other side.

Lin Yuan, who heard the question and answer, was already shocked and had already shown an inquiring look.

When Rong Shang saw this situation, he probably understood what was going on, and deliberately reached out to support Song Xiaomei's chin, and turned her face to the light, "I'll take a look." ”

Seeing Song Xiaomei's side face, Lin Yuan's eyes widened instantly, and anger instantly appeared in his eyes, only to see that there was a clear slap mark on Song Xiaomei's face, and that half of her face was already slightly swollen, obviously she had been slapped by someone strongly, and suddenly asked, "What's the matter?"

Song Xiaomei hurriedly pulled away Rong Shang's hand, "It's okay, I accidentally touched it." ”

"Okay, no problem, let's get to work. Rong Shang signaled and turned sideways to let Song Xiaomei leave.

Lin Yuan wanted to ask the truth, but was blocked by Rong Shang's back, there was no way to do it here.

Lin Yuan had no choice but to ask her, "Sister Rong, who beat her?" There was an irrepressible fire in his tone.

Rong Shang turned to face it and said indifferently: "I fought, she didn't do a good job, and I didn't control my emotions for a while." ”

"You..." Lin Yuan was furious, he had already clenched his fists, but the food and shelter were all from others, and he really couldn't get angry.

Rong Shang looked at the indoor environment and said calmly: "Prepare well for your exam, don't live up to Xiaomei's intentions, it is the best reward." The hem of her skirt swayed, and she turned away.

Lin Yuan held his sullen breath, walked back to the bed, sat down slowly, and after sitting for a while, he suddenly stood up again, realizing that something was wrong, he was not stupid, and realized that Rong Shang seemed to be hiding something, and immediately walked out quickly.

In the aisle, I met a sister who was working for Song Xiaomei, and immediately stopped and asked, "Who beat Xiaomei?"

The woman snorted: "I don't know, Sister Rong explained to everyone, don't let you say, don't ask, everyone won't say if you ask." ”

When Lin Yuan heard this, he became more and more confirmed, it must not be Rong Shang's fight, otherwise he admitted it, why bother to explain to everyone, and walked quickly and went straight upstairs.

He had been to Rong Shang's office, knew where Rong Shang was, walked to the door and heard the sound of the piano, and pushed the door in without saying hello.

Rong Shangzheng in the room was sitting next to a guqin, stroking the qin slowly with ten fingers, and when he heard the movement of the door opening, he just looked back, his hand kept dingdong, and he said lightly: "Since you are a little girl, you don't even understand some rules when you enter someone else's room?"

Lin Yuan walked quickly to her and said in a deep voice: "You didn't beat it, who hit Xiaomei?"

Since the questioning came, Rong Shang didn't hide it from him this time, and said calmly: "The guests who live in this store are just like you, and they also went to Lingshan to take the exam." There were a few such people living in the store, and they had gathered together to dine before. I asked the other clerks, and said that those people happened to talk about the Lingshan exam, and I thought Xiaomei should want to help you listen to it a few more times, but in a distracted way, she hit the vegetable soup on one person's body, and the person slapped Xiaomei in anger. It's just such a thing, it's not a big deal, I've already appeased the guests and won't pursue Xiaomei anymore. ”

Lin Yuan was furious, "What should I do with him if I soiled his clothes by mistake, what should I do with it, what's the matter if I hit someone directly?

Rong Shang played a lazy tone in his hand, and asked rhetorically: "Then what do you want? If you want to fight with others, you can't do it? People are all with their entourage, their fists should be harder than yours, do you want to run to find out if you can't fight?"

Lin Yuan said angrily: "With such virtue, you can go to sue the official, when you take the exam, I don't believe he is not afraid!"

Rong Shang: "What if he sues the official and he fails the exam? He brings four accompanying guards, do you think he is an ordinary person? If he fails the exam, he can only blame himself, if you sue the official to ruin his future, have you thought about the consequences? Don't talk about him, I'm afraid that his family will not let you go." Looking at his arrogant appearance at every turn, you should be able to understand a little bit of a person. You may not be afraid, but have you ever thought about Xiaomei? Do you know the situation in Xiaomei's family?

In Xiaomei's house, her father left early, leaving only her mother and an older brother, who had an accident in his early years and lost a pair of arms. If people really want to have a little background, if they really want to investigate, do you think Xiaomei's situation can be hidden? If people want to trouble Xiaomei, her family doesn't even have the ability to resist at all. Who doesn't have a temper? Who wouldn't say anything angry? Once you've done something, are you sure you can hold it?

Xiaomei came to Xiandu at the age of sixteen, thinking that she could come to Xiandu to make a lot of money, but she was deceived by someone and almost sold by traffickers, which was a fluke, and she met me, and has been working with me for 20 years. I have been in this business for many years, what kind of guest has not been seen, and what kind of guest with a bad temper has not been seen?

Even if this person has no background, and you accidentally mess with a guest in your own work, and the guest can't help but give you a slap in the face, you have to make a guest a success? You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, Rong Shangzhai has raised a group of women, all of them are not easy, but if the conditions at home are good, which woman does not love beauty, which woman does not want to lose face, who is willing to do this? When you meet a guest who makes you unhappy, you will make trouble, but you are afraid that there will be trouble every day, and you will not be able to do business? Do you still want to take care of the family's eating and drinking?

What are you blowing here? Which one can you help? If you are not happy, just talk about it behind your back, and it will be over when it has passed, and it is not a big deal. Doing this line of work, it is inevitable to look at the faces of the guests, and I can occasionally meet a few people who are not clean to my hands and feet, touch a hand on the chest, and a hand on the buttocks, you and I are happy to do it? As long as it is not excessive, I can endure it. Xiaomei doesn't want to cause trouble, she just wants to earn money to support her family. ”

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "What's the name of the guest, tell me, I'll find a way to deal with it!"

When it was long, Rong Shang waved his hand and swept the strings, stood up, and turned to face, "Which guest called, I won't say, I won't say what the name is." It's not just for the little good, but also for your good. Lin Yuan, it's useless to rely on the courage of a horseman, if you really have the ability, you won't get mixed up to this point. If you want to get angry, you can, wait until you have the ability, and you won't be in a hurry if you want to put out the fire. When you are admitted to Lingshan, when you really have a chance, if you can still remember this at that time, if you come to me, I will definitely tell you. ”

She walked back to the office desk, sat down, and leaned lazily on the arm of the circle chair, "Now, don't ask more, no one else will say anything without my permission." What you have to do now is to prepare well for the exam, as long as you can be admitted to Lingshan, for Xiaomei, she is happier than anything else, and she will feel that her help to others has meaning. Her family has relied on the help of her neighbors for many years, so she is also willing to help others.

Although the conditions in her family are not good, she is a cheerful girl, a girl who is easy to satisfy, and she is a good girl. So, she is a person who does not hold grudges, which is nothing to her, and she is even more annoyed that she herself did not do a good job of soiling the clothes of the customers, and caused the store to lose money for a wine and food. She's not easy to get into trouble, so don't get her in trouble.

Lin Yuan, you just have that heart, this is stronger than anything else. Xiaomei told me about the news of the Lingshan exam, I will help you inquire, I will tell her as soon as I have any news, and I will let her tell you. Now, go back and prepare yours. If you have to make trouble, then I really can't tolerate you here, take Xiaomei away, you can do whatever you want after leaving, you can't make trouble here with me, there are still a group of people here to support their families!"

Lin Yuan tensed his cheeks and took Xiaomei away? He can't take care of himself, how can he take care of Xiaomei?

It can be said that there is nowhere to be said to have a temper and nowhere to go, so he can only keep a calm face, bow his head, and leave silently, speechless to be said.

When he returned to the utility room, he sat there speechless for a while.

He had no appetite to eat, but he was afraid that Xiaomei would worry, so he still forced himself to eat it all.

After eating, he forced himself to memorize those things, he was ruthless, he must memorize them, and he must be admitted to Lingshan!

Very late, Song Xiaomei came back from her busy work, and she was embarrassed to see Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan called out to her, looked at it, and the slap print was no longer visible, but half of her face was still swollen.

"It's fine. Song Xiaomei took out a few eggs from behind her and said with a smile: "Sister Gui boiled a few eggs for me, let me knead them with eggs, and it will be fine tomorrow." ”

Lin Yuan snatched her eggs, pulled her to the bed to sit, and ordered, "Come, lie down, I'll help you rub it." ”

This is his bed, Song Xiaomei hurriedly refused: "No, no, I see that you have to memorize something every day until late, you can rest assured, don't worry about me." ”

"It's not bad at this time. Under Lin Yuan's forcible request, Song Xiaomei had no choice but to lie down on her side, enjoying Lin Yuan's service, and rolling her face.

"Does it hurt? ”

"Hee-hee, just right. ”

The two chatted without saying a word, Lin Yuan's hands and face were rare and gentle, and Song Xiaomei also enjoyed it, squinting comfortably.

After chatting, Lin Yuan suddenly said, "Xiaomei, I'm sorry!"

"Why are you so sorry? Face? It's okay with you, I was careless. ”

"Xiaomei, if I have the ability in the future, I will definitely get you a hotel and let you be the boss. ”

"No, I can't do it, I'm just going to do this kind of chores. ”

"Anyone is born with the ability to do anything, and they learn slowly. ”

"Hee-hee, I'm stupid, I can't use my brain. ”

The two imagined the future and chatted, Song Xiaomei fell asleep again, and actually snored again.

She is the kind of person who will not be lazy, always wants to do a little more work, as long as she starts working, she basically will not stop, and at the end of the day, she is tired again, and she falls asleep unconsciously when she lies down.

Lin Yuan stared at her sleeping face for a while, didn't wake her up, carefully pulled the quilt to help her cover it, turned off the light, didn't carry it tonight, sat on a chair and lay on the small table and spent the night.
