Chapter 704

Li House.

"Miss, miss?" Hongmei cautiously called twice at the door, until she heard the faint sound of whimpering from inside the room, she was relieved quietly, and continued: "Miss, are you awake? The servant will help you get up Bar."

Jin Ling'er moved her extremely tired body, she was so tired that she couldn't even open her eyelids, and her voice was even hoarse: "What time is it?"

Hongmei pushed the door lightly and came in, poured a cup of hot water for Jin Linger, and replied, "It will be noon soon."

Jin Ling'er was taken aback for a moment, then laughed at herself, it's noon again.

"What about him?"

Although she didn't explain who he was, Hongmei knew that Jin Ling'er was asking Uncle Li Chengzhi, and she couldn't help showing a look of disgust on her face: "My uncle has gone to the shop."

Jin Ling'er snorted coldly: "There is no one else here, why do you still call him Uncle?"

Hongmei lowered her eyes, and hated Li Chengzhi so much in her heart.

"Miss, this servant has ordered the servants to prepare bath water for you. You should drink some water to moisten your throat first." Hongmei sat on the side of the bed, helped Jin Ling'er up carefully, and gave her a sip of water with a teacup .

Jin Ling'er was extremely thirsty, so she drank a full glass of water with her hands before giving up, and then lay down on the bed tiredly, her eyelids almost closed again.

Seeing Jin Linger like this, Hongmei felt very distressed, and persuaded: "Miss, you can't be like this anymore. Even if you hate that man to the core, you can't risk your body!"

Jin Ling'er didn't lift her eyelids, she just closed her eyes and talked to Hongmei: "Hongmei, is there any other way for me? In this mansion, you are the only person I can trust. Do you want me to take your Push it out? Anyway, my body is useless, but even if it is useless, I will let that pair of dogs and men suffer a terrible death!"

Hongmei's throat twitched, she bit her lips and said, "Miss, how about I help you!"

Jin Ling'er opened her eyes suddenly, and two bright lights shot directly at Hongmei's cheek: "Shut up! Don't even think about such a thing! Hongmei, after I settle this matter, I will let you go out to get married. You If you ruin your innocence because of that smelly man, I, I, cough cough, cough cough."

"Miss, miss, don't be angry, just don't do it, you don't want to be angry with your servant." Hongmei promised again and again with red eyes.

Jin Ling'er coughed for a long time before slowly getting better, one hand caressed her chest, the other hand ruthlessly tugged at the bed sheet, her eyes turned red with remorse: "Hongmei, am I stupid? I believed that man's sweet words, heh, if you hadn't told me that he got involved with that bitch Lin Siyu, I would never have believed that he would betray me! Hongmei, did they really lose my child? ?”

Hongmei clenched Jin Ling'er's hand distressedly, tears streaming down her face: "Miss, I, I'm not sure either. You forgot? Didn't I tell you, the hopeful person next to Lin Siyu My son often told me to be careful about your fetus. I thought she was jealous at the time, but thinking about it later, maybe she had other intentions. "

For Pan'er, Jin Ling'er has no impression at all, or in other words, she has never cared about anyone or anything related to Lin Siyu. With her pride, how could she regard a concubine from a peasant family as a concubine? In eyes?

However, God's will tricks people, it's this little concubine who actually got rid of her child, what an irony!

Thinking of Lin Siyu's seductive face, Jin Ling'er felt sick for a while.

"Is everything done? Don't forget to give him medicine."

Hearing Jin Linger's words, Hongmei nodded firmly: "Miss, don't worry, the most important thing in our Jin family is money. As long as we have money, what can't be done? What's more, it's just a servant next to Li Chengzhi? It's just Miss , why do you have to do it yourself, isn't it good for us to go back to the house to find the master and wife? They love you so much, they will definitely let you decide. "

Jin Ling'er sneered: "They will only make decisions for money."

After a pause, he said again: "Now I finally understand why Dafang doesn't want Jin Yu'er to marry Li Chengzhi. My mother married me into Li's Mansion because she hoped that Li's Mansion would become a place for them to compete with Dafang for the position of head of the family." It’s all for help. If they don’t get the position of Patriarch, do you think they will be willing to offend Li Chengzhi?”

"Then let's wait until the master becomes the head of the house, and then we will ask the master to make the decision! Although it will take a long time, it is better than doing it yourself, Miss."

Hongmei really couldn't bear to make Jin Ling'er suffer, and every night she heard Jin Ling'er's painful and suppressed voice being tortured by Li Chengzhi, her heart was about to bleed.If it's just a day or two, it's fine, but it's been two months in a row. Every day, Jin Linger sleeps until the sun is high before waking up. She is worried that one morning she will find that her young lady is tortured to death on the bed. I can't wake up either.

Jin Ling'er saw Hongmei's worry, pulled her hand, and forced a smile: "Hongmei, don't worry, I won't take care of the murderer who killed my son. would have died that early."

"Miss, what nonsense are you talking about!" Hongmei hurriedly covered Jin Ling'er's mouth and poohed several times before giving up.

Jin Ling'er smiled weakly: "That medicine is very effective. I've been tortured by him these days so hard to get out of bed, and his health must be even worse."

While massaging Jin Ling'er's arms and legs, Hongmei answered, "Isn't it? He's at Miss's place in the evening, and then goes to Bitch Lin's place after taking medicine in the afternoon. Even a man of iron can't stand it! That is, he, relying on the effect of the medicine, thinks that he is in good health, but in fact, he has long been exhausted from the inside."

Jin Ling'er's pale lips curled up: "It's fine if you're short, I'll just wait for the day when he collapses on Lin Siyu's bed."

Hongmei nodded and prepared hot water for Jin Linger's bath.

That afternoon, Li Chengzhi returned to the mansion in a hurry, sneaked into Lin Siyu's yard, and returned to Jin Linger's yard with weak legs until it was dark.

Jin Ling'er had been waiting with a smile on her face, and the chicken soup mixed with "ingredients" was ready...

During these days when Lin Yuan was recuperating in Linjia'ao, Xia Zheng was always around, and Fumanlou's business was naturally thrown to Lao Fan again.However, Lao Fan was not one who could sit still, so he ran out frequently for three days, and was just about to go out today when he suddenly saw an acquaintance from Fumanlou.

Even though he hadn't seen him for several years, Lao Fan still recognized the fair-skinned and beardless old man at the first sight.

"Not good!" Lao Fan said inwardly that something was wrong, and slipped back to the private room on the second floor, even closing the doors and windows tightly.

"Hey, my old boss, what's the matter?" Seeing Lao Fan's fleeing appearance, Shopkeeper Liu rushed out to greet him. mouth: "Don't say I'm here!"

Shopkeeper Liu was confused by him, and finally understood what was going on after hearing the words of the little guest officer who had just entered the door.

"Boss, is your boss here?" The voice was clear and tender, full of vigor.

Shopkeeper Liu followed the prestige, and saw a seven or eight-year-old boy entering the door surrounded by a group of guards. The boy was red-faced, white-toothed, noble and graceful. dignity.

And the two people who followed the child gave shopkeeper Liu a strange feeling. One was only in his teens, and his eyes were rolling around, which was very clever.The other was much older, but strangely, he didn't have a beard, and his skin was still fair, obviously well-maintained.

Shopkeeper Liu couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable. An old man who was about his age actually put powder on his face.

Seeing that shopkeeper Liu didn't reply, the older man frowned: "Shopkeeper, didn't you hear what my young master asked you?"

It's good that the old man didn't open his mouth, but shopkeeper Liu felt even more uncomfortable when he spoke, why is he screaming?Men or women or women, it is really unbearable to look directly at!

Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, shopkeeper Liu cupped his hands and said to the young master: "Young master, to tell you the truth, my boss is not here. If you have any orders, just give them."

"Aren't you there?" A look of disappointment flashed across the young master's immature face, but he still asked unwillingly: "Don't you have three bosses? Not one of them? Xia Da, cough cough, is Mr. Xia not here?" ?”

Could it be that this young master knows the young master?Shopkeeper Liu thought about it, and took advantage of the opportunity to look up at the room where Lao Fan was, and just in time saw Lao Fan stretched out a hand and shook it.

Shopkeeper Liu shrugged quietly, and smiled apologetically: "Young master is not here either."

The little boy was even more disappointed.

The older old man immediately laughed when he heard that, and bent over to the young master: "My lord, you heard that too, Mr. Xia is not here, let's go back quickly, so that Madam won't worry..."

"No!" The little boy hummed stubbornly, sat down on the stool next to him, and knocked on the table like a little adult: "Xiao Hanzi, pour tea."

"Okay, son!" The younger boy immediately poured a cup of tea for the young master.

It wasn't until the young man opened his mouth that shopkeeper Liu realized that the young man's voice was as shrill as that of the old man's, neither masculine nor feminine.

The male and female voice, coupled with the old man's white and clean face, a thought flashed in Shopkeeper Liu's mind, and his body was immediately shocked.

If his conjecture is true, then the origin of this young master...

Thinking of this, shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but straighten his back, and smiled more enthusiastically: "Young master, what do you want to order? Our Fumanlou has many signature dishes. I wonder what you want to eat?"

"Bold!" The old man glared at shopkeeper Liu with a loud voice. This shopkeeper really has no eyesight. Didn't you see that he was trying his best to persuade the young master to go back?He was actually in a hurry to ask the young master to order food!

However, before he finished speaking, the young master had already glared at him unhappily: "Eunuch Chang, don't do this, since the shopkeeper belongs to Brother Xia, he is one of his own. Shocked. Brother Xia must be even more reluctant to come out to see me, I haven't seen him for almost a year, if you leave him in anger, be careful with your hair."

Eunuch Chang smiled awkwardly, shrank his neck subconsciously, everyone has beards that can be pulled out, but he is an eunuch, and he was lucky to have no weakness, but this little prince is lucky, he changed his hair to be pulled out.It hurts to pull your hair out, okay?

Seeing Eunuch Chang's deflated look, Old Fan upstairs covered his mouth and laughed.This Eunuch Chang is a close servant of Concubine Tian in the palace. I think that when Lao Fan was still in the palace, he would often bet with this old eunuch.

Not for anything else, just because the old eunuch is also a tricky person, and the two often secretly bet on which dish the emperor would like more in the imperial dining room.

And because Eunuch Chang is the concubine Tian's servant, he often serves at the side, so he naturally knows which dish the emperor picked up a few more chopsticks when eating.So those who often lose bets are always annoying. Speaking of it, he seems to owe this father-in-law several meals of wine and food.

Old Fan snickered, counting with his fingers: "One, two, three, four... fifteen, sixteen. Oh, so I owe the old man so many meals, tsk tsk, I don't know what this old thing is. Didn't you come to Zhuma Town to ask me for money? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!"

Hearing the name of the young master to Eunuch Chang, shopkeeper Liu's guess was confirmed, it really was someone from the palace.From the looks of it, it was Xia Zheng's old acquaintance.

Indeed, this little prince is none other than the sixth prince Zhao Hongyan. His mother concubine Concubine Tian and Princess Anle are close friends in her boudoir, and their son is naturally also a good friend.It's just that Xia Zheng often runs around outside, and Zhao Hongyan hasn't seen him for more than half a year, so he naturally thinks very much.

No, originally he planned to ask the third prince Zhao Hongde to bring him to Zhuma Town, but Zhao Hongde was sent by the emperor to take charge of the current imperial examination.The little guy had no choice but to beg Concubine Tian to come by herself.

Concubine Tian has been looking forward to such a little son for many years, so she naturally puts it in her hands and it hurts, how can she rest assured?But no matter how worried he was, he couldn't stand the little guy's constant nagging, so he had no choice but to agree to him, and even sent his confidant, the housekeeper, Eunuch Chang, just for fear that he might make a mistake.

Taking advantage of Zhao Hongyan's inattention, Eunuch Chang stretched out his finger at shopkeeper Liu, and the two moved aside to talk in a low voice.

"Your boss is really not here? Didn't you hide on purpose?"

Shopkeeper Liu was sweating profusely, trying to make himself smile naturally: "Of course, I'm really not here. You look like a friend of my boss's. How can I lie to you, right, haha."

Who is Eunuch Chang? He is an old fox who has been in the palace for many years. If he has no knowledge, can he live in the palace, a hell on earth, to this age?

He squinted his eyes and curled his lips: "I think you are lying to our family! Forget it, it would be better not to be here. If His Highness sees Mr. Xia, he will definitely be more reluctant to leave. Oh yes, that old man also not here?"

old man?
Shopkeeper Liu was taken aback for a moment, and it wasn't until Eunuch Chang said "hmm" in a flattering way that he realized that the old man was talking about being annoying.

Glancing upstairs secretly, shopkeeper Liu shook his head firmly: "Not here, the old boss is even more busy, he hasn't been in the store for several days, we are looking for him too!"

"Oh?" Eunuch Chang glanced at shopkeeper Liu and snorted coldly: "Forget it, just pretend he's not there. But if he comes back, you have to send a message to our family. Remember it all, don’t think that if you can hide from the first day of the junior high school, you can hide from the fifteenth, and if you can’t, there will be thirty!"

"Yes, I promise to deliver it."

Shopkeeper Liu responded repeatedly, and Zhao Hongyan's small voice rang out: "Shopkeeper, where has your boss gone? Don't you really know?"

Eunuch Chang gave shopkeeper Liu a wink, shopkeeper Liu nodded, and hurriedly ran to Zhao Hongyan and replied, "My lord, oh your highness, I really don't know, the young master is often not in the store, and I'm used to it."

He said that he was used to it, but shopkeeper Liu was beating a small drum in his heart. Although he had been with Xia Zheng for many years and knew his identity, it was the first time seeing the prince on a sedan chair. I don't know what he just said Is there any difference in those words, and will he be punished for deception again.

Fortunately, Eunuch Chang also spoke at this time: "Your Highness, don't you understand Mr. Xia's temperament? How can he be a person with a firm foothold? If it was so easy for us to meet him, he wouldn't be called Xia Zheng." Yes, do you think so?"

This is true.

Zhao Hongyan sighed, resting his chin on his small hand with a helpless face: "It's a pity that I only have a few days to look for him. It would be great if my concubine gave me a few more days."

Eunuch Chang secretly slandered, little ancestor, when you went out with your front feet, your empress began to cry in worry, and you plan to stay for a few more days, isn't this killing your empress?
Zhao Hongyan sighed dejectedly, his tone was low and completely lost the excitement and excitement when he entered the door: "I have heard that the third brother said that the food made by Fumanlou's new owner is delicious. I finally came here. Why is no one here?" What! Hey, no, I won’t go, I must wait until she comes back and eat the food she cooked before leaving!”

When Xiao Linshuang hopped in the door, what he heard was what Zhao Hongyan said, and his originally good mood suddenly sank a bit. He glanced coldly at Zhao Hongyan and his guards, and Xiao Linshuang hummed in his heart: "He's a rich man who doesn't know where he came from again! Hmph, do you think being rich is great? Don't think you can compare with my brother-in-law with a few filthy money. My eldest sister can't cook just casually!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Linshuang didn't even bother to look at Zhao Hongyan again, and walked into the shop, but didn't realize that someone had already locked her eyes on her.

"Hey, stop!"

Zhao Hongyan yelled, and seeing that Xiao Linshuang had no intention of stopping at all, he jumped off the stool and took a few quick steps to grab her sleeve.

Leng Buding was held back, Xiao Linshuang was stunned for a moment, after seeing clearly that it was Zhao Hongyan, an unpleasant rich man, his complexion suddenly darkened, he shook his arm vigorously, puffed his cheeks and said angrily: "What are you doing! What a jerk, don't you know whether a man and a woman can kiss each other?"

Zhao Hongyan twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment. How old is this little girl, at most six years old?

His master was offended so rudely, Xiaohanzi immediately screamed at the top of his voice: "Presumptuous!"

The rooster-like voice suddenly sounded in the lobby, and it really shook everyone.

Xiao Linshuang snorted: "He offended me, and you still say I'm presumptuous! Heh, he really is a rich man, so he doesn't even talk about it!"

Xiao Hanzi choked.

Zhao Hongyan was overjoyed, this little girl is young, but she has a sharp mouth!

"Alright, I offended you, please don't get angry, girl." Zhao Hongyan was very interested in the little girl, and when he thought of what the third brother said, he asked again: "Dare to ask the girl's name?"

"Why do I need to tell you my last name? Am I familiar with you?" Xiao Linshuang took two steps back vigilantly.

Zhao Hongyan smiled and said, "That's it. I see that girl, you enter here as casually as you enter your own home. I just want to ask if you are the younger sister of this owner's family? I heard that this Lin Dong family has two younger sisters."

Even the eldest sister has two younger sisters who have inquired clearly, it seems that they came prepared!
Xiao Linshuang rolled his eyes, just in time to see his master on the second floor waving his hands again and again, curled his lips secretly, walked to shopkeeper Liu and grabbed his hand: "The shopkeeper is my grandfather, do you think I can come in?"

grandfather?

Shopkeeper Liu froze, how could he have the good fortune to be Xiao Linshuang's grandfather!But if he could really have such a good granddaughter, he would really be very happy.

Just thinking about it, Xiao Linshuang pulled his sleeve obediently, and smiled sweetly: "Grandpa, I just came back from school and I'm so hungry. Do you have anything to eat?"

Shopkeeper Liu laughed again and again: "Yes, yes, grandpa will take you to the back kitchen and let the chef make it for you. You can make whatever you want."

In the past, Xiao Linshuang followed Lin Yuan and called him Shopkeeper Liu, but now he is suddenly called Grandpa, and he is not used to it.

When Zhao Hongyan saw that she was not the younger sister of Lin Dong's family he was looking for, the light of hope in his eyes suddenly disappeared.However, when they heard that they had food to eat, the little stomach cried out in a very timely manner.

Now even Eunuch Chang couldn't stop him from sitting down to eat.

It was already afternoon, and even if he didn't eat, he couldn't get up and go back to the capital immediately. Eunuch Chang rushed outside and made a gesture, and immediately a guard came out quietly.

Because of Zhao Hongyan's special status, shopkeeper Liu asked the boy to hang a closed sign at the door, which was the first time since Fumanlou opened.Naturally, it attracted the attention of many people, but because there were guards guarding the door, no one dared to come in.

The chef of Fumanlou acted very quickly, and immediately brought all kinds of Fumanlou's signature dishes to Zhao Hongyan, which made Zhao Hongyan's eyes brighten with joy.

Like Lao Fan, Eunuch Chang is also a delicious guy, but when the master eats, how can they be slaves?Even though his saliva was already drooling and was about to fall to the ground, he could only pretend he didn't see it, and silently said "I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry" with his eyes closed.

Naturally, the one who suffered as much as Eunuch Chang also had Lao Fan who was hiding on the second floor.

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, but Eunuch Chang didn't let Zhao Hongyan go to the private room for dinner.

Even Xiao Linshuang joined in and started eating in the lobby. Fortunately, he happened to be sitting where Lao Fan could see him. Swallowing saliva and blowing beard and staring.

On the next table, Zhao Hongyan was waiting for Xiaohanzi to serve him dishes in a regular manner. It was obviously a very delicious meal, but after Xiaohanzi brought it to him, it didn't taste very good.

Xiao Linshuang was holding up a chicken leg to eat Huanshi, when she turned her head and saw Zhao Hongyan sitting upright eating, she couldn't help frowning, and holding up her own chicken leg, she sat beside Zhao Hongyan.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Xiaohanzi hurriedly chased her away.

But how can Xiao Linshuang be driven away by just anyone?If she is not willing, even if there are ten cows to pull her butt, they will not be able to move her ass.

After glaring at Xiao Hanzi, Xiao Linshuang sat still.

Zhao Hongyan smiled, and dismissed Xiaohanzi to the side, but when he saw Xiao Linshuang's shapeless eating appearance, he really didn't dare to compliment him, so he frowned and said, "You little girl, why do you eat like this? Really... ..."

"What? Do you think I don't look good when eating?" Xiao Linshuang squinted at him and said, "I see, you are the one who really doesn't enjoy eating. It's delicious to eat whatever you want. It's not like you In this way, you have to ask a servant to hold you for a meal! Do you have no long hands or can’t hold chopsticks? Hey? You can’t really hold chopsticks, can you?”

Looking at Xiao Linshuang's serious appearance, Zhao Hongyan showed embarrassment. Does he seem to be someone who can't hold chopsticks?
Eunuch Chang narrowed his eyes, and was about to yell at him when Zhao Hongyan groaned angrily, "Of course I can use chopsticks!"

After speaking, he took the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables and started to eat. Xiao Hanzi repeatedly said "it's against the rules", but after Zhao Hongyan gave him a look, he didn't dare to speak again.

Xiao Linshuang chuckled, tore another piece of chicken breast, held it up and said, "You are the only kid from your family who eats so politely. Look, do you dare to try?"

Zhao Hongyan was so tickled by Xiao Linshuang's way of eating, not to mention, he hadn't eaten like this since he could remember.

Seeing that he was still a little hesitant, Xiao Linshuang stuffed the chicken breast in his hand to him: "Be gentle when you should be gentle, relax when you should relax, and there is no one else here, who are you gentle to show? How come you have fun!"

Zhao Hongyan's eyes lit up, he was two years older for no reason, but he couldn't even think about it.

"Okay!" Zhao Hongyan took a bite of the chicken and nodded secretly: "It's the most satisfying to eat like this!"

Seeing these two people eating one bite at a time, Lao Fan swallowed hard, sat on the ground with weak legs, and slammed his mouth mournfully.
