The mansion of the governor of Hangzhou is located on the edge of the West Lake, with pavilions and pavilions, which are too beautiful to behold.
Leaning against the small pavilion by the lake, Mrs. Zhao Nie half leaned on the couch, took the sour plum soup handed over by the maid, tasted it, and handed it back casually. The maid put the sour plum soup on the plate, and another maid took it. The iced handkerchief gently wiped the sweat from her forehead. On each side, a servant girl was shaking a fan, and another servant girl was kneeling and beating her legs.
"It's really hot," Nie said impatiently, and asked the young daughter-in-law who had been standing aside for a long time, "Is that girl still waiting there?"
"Yes, I have been waiting there, and I have never asked anyone." The young daughter-in-law bowed her head.
"Hmph, how dare a woman come to see me?!" Nie frowned, and said, "My cousin married the Fan family, and I thought she would grow up better, but she is still so petty, and she got mixed up with a businessman. Shallow."
"Miss Biao can't compare with Madam," another woman next to her smiled all over her face, stood behind her and rubbed her shoulders, and said, "Then the Fan family is very noble, and there are so many people. In the house where Miss Biao married, there are six young masters and four young ladies. Uncle Biao is also a pedant, and he also likes things that add beauty to red sleeves. Miss Biao now has several concubine children under her knees. She has no Madam, with your ten miles of red makeup, you can only do these lowly things."
"That's right," Mrs. Nie laughed, thinking of the embarrassment of her always noble cousin, and said, "I have to show my cousin some face, Zhao Lin's family, you ask your family to accompany her to the yamen and help her." If she gets a trade certificate, I will accept these gifts from her."
"Madam is kind!" Zhao Lin's family complimented with a smile, and stepped back. After walking out of Mrs. Nie's sight, the old woman touched the silver in her sleeve, spat, and said in her heart, she looked down on him, but the gift he gave was received quickly, and the business and silver delivered to the door were not to be earned. Nie The family is almost ruined, and they still put on the airs of this noble girl.
Looking at Ling Qingyu who was still smiling decently and carefully looking at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, Ye Shishi felt angry rising up.
After those women brought the two of them into the side hall of this corner door, they have been letting them dry. It has been two hours now, and there is not a sip of water. Thinking of the gift worth tens of thousands of taels of silver from Ling Qingyu, Ye Shishi felt heartache. If he bought Shiquan Dabu soup, how much could he buy? He didn't even have to take a sip of tea here. He's okay, just like standing on the ground, but my sister has never practiced kung fu, so she must be exhausted sitting like this.
"Oh, Master Ling, I'm really sorry," Zhao Lin's family came in with a smile on his face, and said, "Madam has a guest ahead of me, so I really can't entertain her."
"Nothing," Ling Qingyu said with a smile: "If Madam is not free, the little girl will also leave first."
"Madam also ordered that my family member take you to the yamen and open a trade certificate, you see." Zhao Lin's family said.
"Thank you so much Ma'am, look, sister-in-law, shall we go now?" Ling Qingyu smiled and helped Zhao Lin's family, and handed her a piece of silver in her hand.
Zhao Lin's family immediately beamed with joy and sent Ling Qingyu out. When he was about to leave, he whispered: "The spice shop on Houde Street is owned by the Mo family. I heard that their family is splitting up, and the spice shop has no supply. "Speaking of this, I just walked to the door.
Ling Qingyu gave a salute to Zhao Lin's family, and then to a man in charge who was guarding the door, and said with a smile, "Well, I'll take care of you."
Seeing his wife's expression, the man also smiled and said, "It's just Madam's order, not worthy of Master Ling's thanks."
Ling Qingyu made a request, and Zhao Lin got on the front of the carriage, and sat with Yan San. Ling Qingyu brought Ye Shishi with him and got into the carriage.
Zhao Lin's family retreated to the door and closed the corner door. Then a little girl came up and said: "Mom, have you seen that little girl is really beautiful."
"You care about so many people, go and clean up quickly." Zhao Lin's family slapped her, waited for the little girl to run away, brushed her hair, and thought to herself, the little girl of Ling's family can be trained to move for two hours He didn't move a bit, so it can be seen that the leader of Ling's family is a powerful person, and also, how can someone who can run the sea transport not be powerful? The wife is a noble man, but the second master is not. Get a shopkeeper
The freedom of Zhao Lin's family has their own calculations. Zhao Lin, who was sitting in the carriage, was very careful.
The young man next to him, although he didn't seem to wake up, was extremely precise with every stroke he made. Zhao Lin was a trainer, and he also ran with the second master, but when he sat next to this man, he couldn't help it. He broke out in a cold sweat for no reason. This young man is a master.
Seeing that Zhao Lin moved farther and farther, and was about to fall off the carriage, Yan San frowned, restraining his murderous aura. Zhao Lin breathed a sigh of relief and moved his butt back.
When he arrived at the yamen, Zhao Lin's attitude was much more respectful, and he didn't talk too much, leading Ling Qingyu to go through the formalities quickly.
Ling Qingyu walked out of the yamen with the Hangzhou trade license that she hadn't thought about doing, and stuffed a hundred taels of silver bills into Zhao Lin's hands.
But Zhao Lin immediately returned the bank note to her respectfully, saying: "The head of the family, I can't accept this."
"You're not bad," Ling Qingyu stopped pretending to be virtuous, and said with a smile, "This is not a tip for you. When you can't stay in the Zhao Mansion anymore, or don't want to stay, use this to come out and find me. I won't help you." I will treat you badly." Then he got into the car with a smile and left.
"Why do you want him to do things? There are no good people in their family." Ye Shiyi pouted.
"You don't know that, my sister will teach you. Although this man's clothes are old, they are clean and proper. Even the frayed cuffs are patched so that there is no trace. When he is standing and sitting, his body He has a straight posture, but his feet are a little limp when he walks, and he doesn't talk much with people, and every sentence is on point, and he does things quickly and efficiently." Hugging Ye Shishi, rubbing his swollen face, Ling Qingyu smiled and said: "His clothes are old and patched, which means that he cannot be reused in the Zhao family, so the money is not much. His appearance shows that he has been trained, but his lameness shows that he has been injured. A trained and injured He has no money, which means that he is not only not being reused, but is also likely to be excluded. But this person is a talent, and your sister and I are short of talent."
"He has practiced martial arts, and his kung fu is not bad." Yan San said in front.
Zhao Lin held the bank note in his hand, and his stagnant heart was slightly turbulent. He and his elder brother were sold into the Zhao Mansion when they were young, and became the servants of the second master of the Zhao mansion, learning martial arts and reading with the second master. The second master is not as fond of writing as the uncle, but is good at martial arts, and he also likes to pretend to be a businessman and sell goods. He often took them and other entourage out to sell goods, but once encountered a bandit, his brother died to save the second master, and he also lost his leg. However, the old woman listened to Da Furen's words and blamed the matter on their followers. Not only did her brother die without any explanation, but she was beaten fifty times and was almost killed. When he finally survived Afterwards, the second master went to find him again, and betrothed the maid beside him to be his wife. At that time, he was really happy, thinking that the second master was rewarding him, but he didn't know until the night of the bridal chamber that this daughter-in-law had long been the second master. It's just that the second master is going to get married soon, and the second wife is a prominent woman married from Bianliang, so the second master thought of such a trick, let him marry this maid, and cover it up first. In order to show generosity, he also returned his body deed, which was about to expire, to him.
Zhao Lin smiled wryly. Mr. Ling's family should be a good boss, but if he really went to her place, according to Mr. Zhao's personality, he would definitely regard her as his enemy.
