Chapter 22 See the old lady

"The general said he would come over tonight, and I have already conveyed the letter, so don't bother Miss Xia." He left after speaking.

"The general came to see the master, is it because of going to the capital?" Siji said, pushing open the door of Liuju compound.

Xia Jin walked in, looked at the back of Si Ji busy entering the house to pack things, and couldn't help but think to herself: Fortunately, Mama Zhang didn't come back with her...

Otherwise, with her hot temper, she would have to push Xia Jin to take a bath!
However, after Xia Jin's persuasion in the past few days, she has gradually changed her goal from 'let Xia Jin become a general's wife or a general's concubine' to 'follow Xia Jin to make a fortune! '

Xia Jin was very pleased!

In the evening, Lin Ziyi came as scheduled, Xia Jin sat quietly, and Lin Ziyi sat opposite Xia Jin.

Eight-treasure duck, braised pork, and tofu soup are on the table.

Braised pork, melts in the mouth, sweet but not greasy!The tofu soup is tender and smooth, sweet and delicious!The eight-treasure duck is fragrant and the meat is tender!
Every time I am amazed by Xia Jin's cooking skills!
He knew very little about Xia Jin, he only knew that she was a dancer, but he didn't know if she had any family members.

Thinking of this, he asked, "Where is your hometown, but do you still have family members?"

Xia Jin raised her eyes and looked at Lin Ziyi who was eating elegantly. He had to say that the appearance of eating was very good-looking. The hazy candlelight seemed to put a filter on him to soften the picture.

"Jin'er has no family anymore..."

After finishing speaking, Xia Jin only felt a tightness in her heart, it must be the instinct of this body...

"In the future, you can use this place as your home... I mean, no one lives here, and it's empty even if it's empty!"

"Do you know about Fairy Chi Yan?" Lin Ziyi asked,

"Now people in the whole Wangxi Town are discussing this matter, I know something." Xia Jin's heart rose.

"The day Gambling Ghost Four tried to set fire to the God of Food Hall, you were also in the God of Food Hall, did you hear any movement?" Lin Ziyi looked into Xia Jin's eyes, not letting go of any expression changes on her face.

Xia Jin looked at him with clear eyes and a steady voice:

"I slept very deeply that day and didn't hear any sound, but when I opened the door the next day, I saw some dry wood at the door."

Lin Ziyi frowned, thoughtful.

After dinner, Lin Ziyi left Liuju. In the early morning of the next day, a carriage stopped at the gate of Liuju to pick Xia Jin to the capital.

Xia Jin and Siji went up together, and her luggage only brought two sets of clothes and daily necessities. She went to the capital this time with an important purpose, and that was to settle her slave status!
In the more than a month since the opening of the God of Food Hall, Xia Jin has already saved 1000 taels of silver, which is enough to go to the Personnel Bureau to change her slave status to civil status, but there is one more condition, that is, to buy a yard!
Also, if there is a chance, I have to meet that scumbag and get justice for the original body!
Five days later, the General's Mansion in the capital.

Lin Ziyi was coming back today, but housekeeper Luo was waiting at the door early in the morning, when he heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance, his eyes lit up.

"Go and inform the old lady that the general is back!"

The servant ran fast all the way, shouting:

"Old Madam, the general is back, the general is back!"

The old lady who was sitting in the hall waiting hurriedly got up on crutches!

"Help me over quickly!" With the unstoppable smile on her face, her hanging heart finally fell back into her stomach.

"Old Madam, you just wait here for Ziyi to come to pay his respects!" Sun persuaded.

"I don't know what kind of person is that woman named Xia Jin?"

These words reminded the old matriarch that if it was some vulgar woman in the place of fireworks, it would be better to speak clearly, but come to think of it, a dancer is not much better.

The footsteps approached, and Lin Ziyi was walking towards the hall.

"Grandson pays respects to grandmother." Lin Ziyi kowtowed and saluted.

The old matriarch supported him with both hands and was relieved to see that he was safe and sound.

Ever since Lin Ziyi's father died in battle, the old matriarch has always felt uneasy whenever Lin Ziyi went out to battle. Only when he saw him come back safely would his heart be relieved.

Turning to look at the woman standing outside, I saw that Xia Jin was well-behaved, without the heavy makeup of those dancers, and her clothes were also plain and elegant.

"Is she Xia Jin?"

Xia Jin blessed her body, and she raised her eyes to look at the old matriarch. This was an old woman with silver-white hair and a vermilion double-breasted embossed robe, looking at her benevolently.

"Auspicious old lady!"

Seeing that Xia Jin's demeanor was calm, she didn't have stage fright at all, but she had a bit of temperament in her eyebrows and eyes, and she didn't have the coquettishness of a dancer at all, the old lady nodded involuntarily.

"I heard that you cured Ziyi's anorexia?" the old lady asked.

"The general likes to eat Jin'er's food, it's Jin'er's luck."

Xia Jin looked calm and gentle on the surface, but in her heart she wanted to leave so badly. What's the matter with this sense of seeing her parents-in-law when she goes home?
Xia Jin didn't feel that she was Lin Ziyi's woman at all, it was really uncomfortable to be stared at like this.

let me go!
"Mother Lin, you can temporarily arrange for Jin'er to live in the Changle Courtyard." The old lady spoke.

Xia Jin couldn't help giving a thumbs up from the bottom of her heart, I give you a thumbs up, Mrs. Madam!
Nanny Lin walked towards Xia Jin.

"Miss Xia, please."

Nanny Lin took Xia Jin to the Changle Courtyard, approached the door, and said:

"Miss Xia is a slave, right?"

Xia Jin lowered her eyes and said to herself, what are you asking knowingly, you are a slave, don't you?This is to catch me for bullying, right?

Rolling her eyes in her heart, Xia Jin said flatly, "Yes."

"Slave status can never have any status. It's hard for the old lady to say this, but you have to understand it yourself, understand?" Lin Nanny said.

Xia Jin looked at her shoes and said to herself: It seems like someone cares about your general, and it seems that it's not your turn to say this, right?However, my lord does not remember the faults of the villain, and does not care about him. After all, this time I am here to eliminate slavery, so keep a low profile if you can.

"Jin'er knows."

"It's good for you to be self-aware. The general is a man with a marriage contract, so he won't fall in love with you. Although I don't know what method you used to cure the general's anorexia, it can't be a bargaining chip for you to marry into the general's mansion. You have to remember one thing clearly!" Mother Lin reminded.

Xia Jin froze for a moment, the patron has a marriage contract?
That's great!In this way, it will be easier to get rid of the identity of the outer room!

"Well done!"

Xia Jin had a smile on his face, "I know!"

Nanny Lin's face was weird, she didn't understand why Xia Jin was so happy, she thought about it, this woman is not simple, it's useless to be so aggressive, she must be here for the position of the general's wife!
Beware!

 I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival~ Bixinxin!
  A chapter will be updated later!

  Let's see our little Jin'er show off his grand plans in the capital!
