The exquisite space of the ruffian concubine

Chapter 23 Zhao Lingling's Conspiracy
One of them went to the inn, and the other walked home. When they passed by Aunt Zhao's house, Li Goudan suddenly heard a crisp voice: "Hey, it's you. It's so late. Where have you been?"

It turned out that it was Zhao Lingling, who was drinking tea leisurely in the backyard, and when he saw him passing by, he asked a casual question.

"I can't tell you!" Li Goudan shook his head.

"I can guess, you must have gone to find my grandma with Meng Xiaosuo." The corners of Zhao Lingling's lips twitched slightly.

"You... how do you know?" Li Goudan was taken aback, and hurriedly covered up, "I... I didn't go to find your grandma!"

"Don't worry, I swear I won't say anything, let alone tell my mother." Zhao Lingling gently put down the teacup in her hand, and asked casually, "Everyone in our village says 'I', why is it only you? 'I' came to 'I' went?"

Li Goudan was relieved when she heard that she wanted to swear: "Because my mother was bought by my father, she is not a local. She taught me to say the words when I was a child, so I..."

Zhao Lingling patted the wooden chair beside her lightly, motioning for him to sit over: "Then what about your wife, why have I never seen her before?"

"When I was seven years old, she was sold by my father..." Li Goudan sat down cautiously, his expression suddenly darkened.

"It's so pitiful," Zhao Lingling sighed, "You will definitely love your wife well in the future, not like your father, right?"

"Of course!" Li Goudan nodded.While speaking, a familiar figure appeared in his mind, and his cheeks couldn't help but feel a little hot.

The moonlight was faint and the shadows of the trees were whirling, concealing the deep smile on the corner of Zhao Lingling's mouth: "To tell you the truth, my father and my mother have discussed it. Meng Xiaosuo is 15 years old this year. An ordinary family's daughter reaches this age. , married a long time ago. But she has a scar on her face, so she can't get married, and our Zhao family can't keep her for nothing, so..."

Li Goudan's heart was lifted by the last three words, and he opened his mouth wide and waited for the next sentence.

Zhao Lingling took a sip of tea unhurriedly, glanced at him, and then said: "My mother thought about it, you two are very suitable, if you are willing to marry, I will marry her to you."

"Really?" Li Goudan felt a big pie falling from the sky and hit his head heavily. After thinking for a while, he suddenly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I..."

"Why not?" Zhao Lingling didn't expect that Li Goudan would refuse, and couldn't help feeling anxious.She wanted to find another chance tomorrow to talk to this idiot about it, but she just happened to run into him in the backyard thinking about it.

"Didn't Aunt Zhao say earlier that if I want to marry Meng Xiaosuo, I have to spend at least ten taels of silver?" Li Goudan turned his head, picked up a stick and scribbled on the ground.

"Who said that?" Zhao Lingling smiled sweetly, waved her hands and said, "My mother was joking, marriage is not a business, how can there be any reason to ask for a price?"

"So, don't you want money?" Li Goudan threw away the stick in his hand, his eyes brightened.

"Of course not." Zhao Lingling nodded seriously.

"Then I'll go and tell Master!" He happily stood up and was about to run.

"Wait!" Zhao Lingling didn't want to have any side effects on this matter, so she grabbed him, "Who is your master?"

"My master is Meng Xiaosuo." Li Goudan thought to himself, this Zhao Lingling doesn't seem to have a bad heart, it doesn't matter if he says it.

"What can she teach you?" Zhao Lingling's eyes showed contempt.

"Martial arts." Li Goudan touched his head and smiled.

Didn't expect this bitch to know martial arts?But it's a pity, I was smart for a lifetime, but I was confused for a moment, and I accepted such a stupid apprentice like you, let her regret it after tomorrow!Zhao Lingling snorted coldly in her heart, and pulled Li Goudan to sit down again: "You can't tell her in a hurry, otherwise she will definitely not agree."

"Why?" Li Goudan was a little puzzled.

"Girls, some want to marry, some don't want to marry, like Meng Xiaosuo just don't want to marry. If you tell her, I'm afraid you will be scolded bloody." Zhao Lingling explained in detail.

"That's true." Li Goudan felt that what she said was very reasonable, and he also vaguely guessed that if the master knew about this, he would definitely be angry with him.

"But having said that, it's always better to marry early. If no one wants you when you get older, wouldn't it be a waste of time to delay yourself? My mother and I also want to get married, don't you think so?" Zhao Ling Ling continued to speak.

Li Goudan nodded hastily. He also felt that women should find a home earlier and not wander around alone.

Zhao Lingling saw that the prey had already taken the bait, so she pretended to mention casually: "I remember my mother said that she didn't want to marry my father at the beginning, but later my father used a clever method, she was caught, so she had to marry her." Obediently agree."

"What method?" Li Goudan asked hurriedly.

"Well, it's not very fair and aboveboard when you talk about it. But I think, anyway, there is no such thing as being bright or upright as husband and wife in the future," Zhao Lingling looked at him, seeing his stupid expression "If you really want to know, I can tell you, and I can try to help you. But if you don't trust me, then I have no choice but to..."

"Believe it, trust it!" Li Goudan was in a hurry, wishing he could show her his heart.

Zhao Lingling lowered her voice and said a few words like this.Li Goudan was stunned for a while, and nodded again and again, completely unaware of the smile in her eyes that had succeeded in plotting.

That night, Li Goudan slept extremely peacefully, and his face was full of joy throughout the night.

The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and in the Lezhi Inn, Meng Xiaosuo got up to wash, staring at the bronze mirror in a daze.She hadn't seen Gu Zhiyuan for several days, and the restaurant had to be recorded under his name, so she might have to go find him soon.

Dressed neatly, he pushed open the door, and a pair of eyes filled with guilt and embarrassment came into view. It was actually Zhao Lingling, who was holding a bamboo basket covered with a cloth. It looked heavy.

A hint of playfulness appeared on Meng Xiaocom's face, she was courteous for nothing, raped or stolen, if Zhao Lingling hadn't been for the weasel giving the chicken New Year's greetings, she would have written her name backwards.

"I...I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I dare not knock on the door, for fear of waking you up." Zhao Lingling bit her lower lip, handed the basket to her, and stared down at her toes, "Thank you for that day saved me."

Meng Xiaoshu didn't go to pick it up, but waved her hand: "You're welcome, you can go."

"This is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake I made myself." Zhao Lingling raised her eyes and looked at her timidly for fear of being rejected.

For the sake of your acting so realistically, I'll just accept it.Meng Xiaosuo nodded, motioned her to put the basket into the room, and secretly guessed whether the basket was filled with poisoned sweet-scented osmanthus cake, or some terrifying snakes, scorpions, and spiders.

"In the past few days, I have thought a lot at home. You are indeed a good person. I really shouldn't be jealous of you, and I shouldn't try to rob you of the ninth son..." Zhao Lingling's voice weakened, as if she was about to cry. The corner of the mouth under the veil was slightly raised.

"And then?" Meng Xiaocom asked with great interest.

"By the way, my mother went to grandma's place early this morning, scrambling to get back the title deed. Just as the front feet were hidden, the back feet went to sell vegetables. If you really want the title deed, I will take you there quietly. Just take it." Zhao Lingling's eyes were shining brightly, overflowing with desire or tears.

"Okay." Meng Xiaocoma smiled lightly.She wanted to see what the hell this woman was doing.
