Flowers are expensive

Chapter 381 The Unknown Sanniang 1
"I said Ling'er, if you bring that kid back, aren't you afraid that someone surnamed Zhong will trouble you?"

"I'm afraid of her?" Jin Ling'er snorted and said, "She's just a paper tiger with no claws right now! It's just those stupid people from the Ci'an Department who walk around behind her all day long. Can that posture scare me?"

"Then why did you bring the kid surnamed Wu back? Are you planning to use him to make trouble with Mrs. Zhong? My little ancestor, you'd better calm down! Seeing that the business has just gotten better recently, you should stop messing with that Zhong." Ma'am, can you?"

When Wu Ensheng heard this, he tried his best to open his eyes, and turned over to think about it. Who knew, he turned over and fell to the ground.

Jin Ling'er heard the voice, dismissed Mrs. Deng who was talking to her, walked around behind the screen to help him up, and said: "Hurry up and go? I'm afraid that I will ask your mother to cause trouble? Rest now. I don’t have that free time recently. After drinking the medicine, I’ll take you out when you’re able to leave. It’s even more interesting for you to leave our house now!”

Wu Ensheng sat on the chair with a pale face, looked up at Jin Ling'er and said, "Thank you very much!"

"You're welcome," Jin Ling'er poured a cup of tea and said to him, "I don't want to be in debt to you all the time, I just want to repay what you helped me at the beginning, and I will owe no one in the future."

Wu Ensheng glanced around Jin Ling'er's room, but didn't say anything.Jin Ling'er seemed to see what he meant, brushed her long hair back and said with a sneer, "Aren't you a bit disgusted, Young Master Wu? Are you wondering how many men have entered my house?"

"I didn't mean that..." Wu Ensheng said out of breath.

"Don't worry, not many, you are at most the No.12 man who entered my house! You can enter my house today, thanks to your old lady!"

Wu Ensheng shook his head lightly and said: "My mother kicked you out of the Ci'an Department. She did a little too much, but no one made you willing to degenerate to this point. Isn't it just for food? As for getting to this point ?”

"Hey, that's so clear!" Jin Ling'er sarcastically said, "You're the one who puts amulets on in the Ci'an Department, so you won't worry about the morsels of food, and you can even ask the famous doctor from Youwang Mansion to come Diagnosing your pulse, how many people in the Ci'an Department can be so lucky for you? People like us deserve to starve to death, don't even struggle for a while, who made our lives miserable?"

"That's not what I meant, Jin Ling'er..."

"Forget it," Jin Ling'er interrupted Wu Ensheng and said, "I didn't bring you here on purpose today, it's just that the place where you fainted just now is the closest to my place, so I brought you here in my little sedan chair." I came over here, there is no other meaning, I just want to pay back the fact that you helped me hide the money I took from your mother."

Just as he was talking, the girl brought a decoction.Jin Ling'er sent it to Wu Ensheng and said, "Drink it! I caught it according to the recipe you used before, so it shouldn't go wrong."

Wu Ensheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that his mother used to ask Jin Ling'er to run errands to fetch medicine for him. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional, so he drank the soup and said, "Thank you!"

Jin Ling'er looked at him with her hands folded, and said with a cold smile: "You have so many words of thanks! You really weren't born to your mother, if she had half of your generosity, I'm afraid she wouldn't fall into the trap." At this point, if you have time, you should persuade your old lady to accept it as soon as it is good. Do you really want to marry your sister to the palace?"

"Don't you want to too?" Wu Ensheng coughed twice, holding his heart, "otherwise why did you throw porridge on her so anxiously back then? Isn't it because my mother said that she would be the aunt of the palace sooner or later? You and Prince You knew each other earlier, right?"

Jin Ling'er was slightly startled, then smiled contemptuously and said: "Yes, I have known him before, but at least I have self-knowledge, I don't climb high branches that I can't climb, lest I fall halfway and be smashed to pieces It's tragic. I'm not like your sister, who has the cheek to stay in the palace!"

After seeing Yuan Yin at the Ci'an Office that time, Jin Ling'er was really frightened.She never expected that the boy Xie Manting back then was actually Zhao Yuanyin, the lord of Jingyou City!When everyone knelt down and saluted, she was the only one who stood there in a daze, staring at Yuan Yin motionlessly.

Zhong would naturally scold her and force her to kneel down to salute.Yuan Yin didn't care about her at all, and walked away coldly.How shocked she was at that time, only she knew, and especially when she saw that Tang Xuanzhen was always wandering around Yuan Yin, either delivering tea or finding words for nothing, the bottle of vinegar that had been stored in her heart for a long time was overturned!

She was thinking at that time, if that Xie Manting could be nice to her back then, Tang Xuanzhen would not be standing next to the prince now!Isn't Tang Xuanzhen the reason why Mrs. Zhong can be so prestigious in Ci'an Department?Thinking of how she was repeatedly bullied by Mrs. Zhong after she came to Ci'an Office, she couldn't help being furious and jealous. When serving porridge, she picked up a pot of porridge on the table that was not really hot and threw it at Tang Xuanzhen!
Yuan Yin reacted quickly enough and reached out to pull Tang Xuanzhen away.Jin Ling'er was jealous and hated at the time, and really wanted to rush forward and pull Tang Xuanzhen away from Yuan Yin, but Zhong slapped her twice on the spot, making her dizzy and tinnitus.Zhong felt puzzled and wanted to fight again, but fortunately Wu Ensheng came out to stop him.

Although Yuan Yin didn't deal with her later, because she had saved him at Haiziqiao and let her go, Zhong and Tang Xuanzhen couldn't tolerate her anymore, so they kicked her out of the Ci'an Department and had nowhere to go. She just entered the threshold of a prostitute.

"I should go." Wu Ensheng propped himself on the table and got up slowly.

Jin Ling'er regained her composure and asked, "Can you go? If you can't, don't force it. I'll send you in a sedan chair to the alley near the Ci'an Office. You can get off the sedan chair there, and it will be faster to walk back."

"No need, I'm much better after drinking the medicinal soup, so I won't bother you!"

"Okay then, I'll take you out through the back door."

Jin Ling'er was about to open the door when Deng's voice suddenly came from outside: "Ling'er, come out quickly!"

"What's the matter?" Jin Ling'er pushed open the window and said, "I still don't believe it, but there's another visitor at this hour? I only worked all night last night, can't you ask me to rest?"

"It's not a male guest, it's a female guest! Come out quickly, Jinniang is here!"

Wu Ensheng turned his head and looked out of the window, only to see Mrs. Deng leading a woman into the yard.The woman had a brown tulle hat on her head, and she couldn't see her face, but the woman's hat made him recognize the person immediately.He felt a little strange, and said to himself, "It's her! Why did she come here?"

Jin Ling'er turned around and asked, "Do you know Jinniang?"

"Her name is Jinniang?" Wu Ensheng shook his head lightly and said, "I've only seen her twice from a distance, so I don't know her name."

"Seeing how good-looking her parents are, have you been moved?" Jin Ling'er joked.

"What moved you?" Wu Ensheng argued, "I just watched her talk to my mother twice."

"With your mother?" Jin Ling'er's brows suddenly frowned, "What can she say to your mother as a flesh and blood business? Could it be that your sister can't get along anymore and wants to be naturalized?"

"Is she in the flesh business?" Wu Ensheng asked suspiciously. "Isn't it? She didn't do this job in Jingyou City before, but she came here recently. The two girls are in our house, and she introduced friends to my mother. She has some tricks. Hey, you can ask later Ask your mother, do you also want your sister to be naturalized?"

"Stop talking, I'll go back first!"

Jin Ling'er sent Wu Ensheng out through the back door, and planned to send him off in a sedan chair, but Wu Ensheng refused, so he had to watch him leave the alley from a distance, and then went back to the yard to meet Jinniang.

In the living room, Mrs. Deng had already brought the best Pu'er tea out to entertain the woman named San Niang. Seeing Jin Ling'er slowly walking in, she greeted her, "What are you waiting for? Didn't you hear my call?" Are you? Sanniang took a hard time to come, so hurry up and see him, thank you for the good family Sanniang introduced to you last night! I don’t know if you didn’t come out of the house just now. Then I sent someone to send four bolts of summer silk and a letter of reward money, and said that I will let you go there tonight!"

"You're welcome," that Sanniang had already removed the gauze cap from her head, and smiled at Jin Ling'er, "Jin Ling'er has to please the master herself, otherwise I'm wasting my time."

"Without you threading needles inside, my Jin Ling'er wouldn't have recognized that master! After all, I want to thank you a lot!" Deng said, turning to Jin Ling'er, "Don't you know how to make shoes? Make two pairs for Jinniang, she is running around all day long, and the designated shoes are not durable!"

Jin Ling'er sat down opposite Sanniang and said with a smile: "I only have that poor craftsmanship, I'm afraid Jinniang will not like it! Later I will find two pieces of good cloth, and I will make it beautiful for you. That's right. , San Niang, I want to ask someone with you."

Sanniang took a sip of her tea and said with a smile, "Ask!"

"Are you familiar with Mrs. Zhong in the Ci'an Department?"

"Aunt Zhong?" Sanniang glanced at Jin Ling'er, still smiling, "I know you, the one from the Ci'an Department, right? We've met twice, what's the matter? What do you want to know?"

"It's not about inquiring about anything, it's just thinking of you, San Niang, who came to Jingyou City. Jin Ling'er talks too much to remind you, that Mrs. Zhong is not a fuel-efficient lamp. , you have to be more careful with her."

Sanniang put down the teacup in her hand, looked at Jin Ling'er and asked with a smile: "Miss Ling'er, let me ask a question too, you seem to be quite dissatisfied with Mrs. Zhong, aren't you?"

Mrs. Deng hurriedly grabbed the conversation and said to Jin Ling'er: "You are so polite and why are you asking Mrs. Zhong? Sanniang is someone who has seen the world, how could she be fooled by Mrs. Zhong? Those of you who are in the Ci'an Department Don't talk about the old things!"

"What happened in the past? It turns out that Miss Ling'er also stayed in the Ci'an Department?" Sanniang laughed, "Let's hear it, what's going on?"

Jin Ling'er really told vividly how Zhong Shi bullied her and how she was kicked out of the Ci'an Department.In the end, she asked Sanniang angrily: "Tell me, can I not hate her? Because my daughter is messing around in the palace, I take up the role of mother-in-law and domineering in the Ci'an Department. You think you are amazing! How is it now? Isn’t her daughter kicked out of the palace as usual?”

Sanniang looked at Jin Ling'er while listening with a smile, and then said: "So she is such a person! Thanks to Miss Ling'er's reminder, I have only been in Jingyou City for less than two months, and I don't know her well. It's just that we can chat. Speaking of her daughter, was she really kicked out by the palace? That's not what she told me."

"What did she tell you?" Jin Ling'er asked anxiously.

Sanniang didn't answer right away, she lowered her eyebrows and sipped her tea, as if it was difficult to speak.Jin Ling'er was naturally not reconciled, and hurriedly said: "Sanniang, don't worry, my mother and I are tight-lipped people, and we will definitely not talk nonsense outside. If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Only then did Sanniang put down her teacup, and said with a smile, "It's not that you can't trust you two, it's just a private matter, and I don't like to talk about it. Since you kindly reminded me, then I will tell you the truth, Mrs. Zhong Tell me that her daughter was not kicked out of the palace, she was pregnant with a child and was so angry that she moved out of the palace because she felt uncomfortable for a while."
