Chapter 268?
Liniang probably didn't expect that Su Jinsong would have such a big reaction. It was indeed a big deal for her to ask for so many things today, but it wouldn't make the lady in front of her so frightened that she turned pale, right?
At this moment, I heard a voice behind the concierge saying: "Sister-in-law, I followed my elder brother back to have dinner."
Liniang looked over and saw Qiu Wuhen walking over with a man who was in the same grade as Qiu Wuhen. The man was holding two medicine bags and swinging them around in his hands.
Qiu Wuhen approached and found that his wife was pale. He quickly stepped forward to support her and said, "Madam, what's going on?"
Liniang glanced at Qiu Wuhen very embarrassedly and said, "Master, it seems that I did something wrong. They brought the rouge and gouache I asked you to buy this morning."
After hearing this, Qiu Wuhen was puzzled, but Zhu Qi understood instantly. He winked at Wanran who was not far away, and immediately walked out.
"It's here, just accept it, what's wrong?" Qiu Wuhen didn't understand, because the young lady didn't tell him how much those things cost. He just felt that he didn't have enough money, but looking at Su Jinsong,
With an expression on his face, he couldn't help but ask: "How much is it?"
"I don't have much money, so I'll just give it to my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law has been in the capital for so long, and I'm still worried about what to give her. Since my sister-in-law likes the stuff from that rouge shop, I'll give it to my sister-in-law."
When Liniang heard the man in front of her calling Su Jinsong his sister-in-law, she couldn't help but be surprised. Could this person be Zhu Qi, the king of Tao?
Thinking of this, Liniang was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and saluted: "My slave, please send your regards to the prince. May the prince be safe."
Zhu Qi glanced at Liniang, and it turned out that as Qiu Wuhen said, she was very bright and charming, and she was not much inferior to the famous brothel courtesans in the capital.
"Are you Liniang?" Zhu Qi asked.
Liniang was startled and did not dare to raise her eyes to look at Zhu Qi. She just nodded in agreement.
"Did your Miss Tang Yan send you here temporarily, or did she give you directly to my eldest brother and sister-in-law?"
Liniang said: "What the eldest lady means is that during the time when Lord Qiu is at sea, my servant will be here to serve Madam."
"What do you know?" Zhu Qi was curious.
"This slave only knows some Qihuang techniques and Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu."
"Since it is Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu, it means that your eldest lady is not very considerate of her mentor. What's the use of sending a woman who only knows Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu?" Zhu Qi said rudely.
But Qiu Wuhen felt nervous. It turned out that the monster in front of him not only knew kung fu, but also treated people like himself. If someone in his family got sick when he was not at home, he would save another sum of medical expenses.
Thinking of this, Qiu Wuhen was quite satisfied.
However, Liniang did not defend herself, smiled slightly, and said nothing.
At this time, he saw Wanran coming over with a large pile of boxes. Zhu Qi glanced at Liniang and said to Wanran: "There are two bottles of good wine I brought for my eldest brother in the car. Go and get them. Please trouble Li Niang with these things."
Mom, take it over."
Qiu Wuhen saw this and said, "Has the money been paid?"
Su Jinsong couldn't help but said: "This is five hundred taels of silver!"
Qiu Wuhen couldn't help but was shocked when he heard this, but he saw Zhu Qi hehe and said: "Okay, okay, things have their value only when they are useful. If you put them on the shelf and don't use them, the money will be gone."
Its significance, I have remembered what my elder brother told me at this time, okay, okay, I won’t mention these things anymore. As I said, I gave it to my sister-in-law, and she will accept it with a smile."
Su Jinsong said quickly: "But...but these things are too expensive."
Zhu Qi laughed loudly and said: "My sister-in-law likes her, but even a thousand dollars is hard to buy. I am only a big brother, so naturally money is not an issue."
Su Jinsong glanced at Qiu Wuhen in panic. Qiu Wuhen knew that the person who collected the money must have gone far away at this time. It would not be good for him to be pretentious with Zhu Qi again. He thought that Zhu Qi liked his handwriting, so it would be better in the future.
Just give him some calligraphy.
"Okay, since I'm kindhearted, just accept it. Thank you very much."
Zhu Qi was naturally happy when he saw that Qiu Wuhen did not meet with him. However, some Yanzhi could support so many women in his palace, but to make his elder brother and sister-in-law happy, of course he would not care about a mere five hundred taels of silver.
.
After hearing what Zhu Qi said, he walked to Liniang's side.
"Good work."
Liniang quickly took it. There were really a lot of things. Su Jinsong was about to step forward to help. Zhu Qi winked at Qiu Wuhen. Qiu Wuhen understood and pulled his wife, and put all the things in Liniang's hands.
in hand.
Liniang caught it steadily, Zhu Qi stretched out his hand and said: "You take the thing, you go first."
Liniang nodded, curtsied slightly, and walked in front. Zhu Qi leaned over and picked up a small stone from the ground, and threw it hard at Liniang's ankle. The force was very strong, and Zhu Qi knew some kung fu.
, this time is really quite powerful.
Liniang, who was walking in front of her, could not help but bend her body slightly, and the dozen boxes could not help but tilt out. The top box had already fallen. Su Jinsong was shocked and couldn't help shouting, and ran forward.
At this time, Liniang was seen standing up, stretching out her left foot, firmly catching the box that was about to fall to the ground, and then gently tossing it with her foot, and the box returned to the top position.
, impartial, as if taking root.
Zhu Qi glanced at Qiu Wuhen and saw that he was also looking at him. He couldn't help but nodded. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. It seemed that Liniang was being humble.
After walking for a while, Su Jinsong finally remembered that the old lady had come to look for him before, but he had forgotten all about it, so he said to Qiu Wuhen: "The old lady sent someone to look for me just now, and I had forgotten about it.
Now, you and the prince go to sit in the courtyard for a while, and I’ll go to the old lady’s place to check on you, and then go to the kitchen and ask my mother-in-law to make some refreshing side dishes for the prince.”
"Madam, please wait for me. I sent the things over and will accompany you to the old lady's house later. I will let Xuehua give you instructions about the kitchen. You don't need to do it yourself."
As Liniang spoke, she left lightly with a lot of things in her arms.
"It's interesting." Zhu Qi said as if talking to himself.
Sure enough, when the three of them reached the fork, Liniang had already come out of the room and said with a smile: "Madam, you must remember that no matter where you go, there must be no less people around you, whether it's me or Xuehua.
, whether inside or outside the mansion.”
Qiu Wuhen was convinced and nodded in agreement.
Zhu Qi glanced at Liniang's ankle and said, "Is it injured?"
Liniang smiled, knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, no." After saying that, she walked to Su Jinsong and helped her away.
When the two of them walked away, Qiu Wuhen whispered: "My lord, did you find the steward you told me about before?"
Zhu Qi looked at Liniang's retreating back and said, "Don't worry, just take a look at her and talk about it. It's interesting. It's a bit interesting."
Qiu Wuhen smiled and said, "Besides saying this, what else can you say?"
Zhu Qi glanced at Qiu Wuhen meaningfully and said, "It's indeed interesting."
Mrs. Su’s courtyard.
As soon as Su Jinsong walked into the yard, he heard a noise and couldn't help frowning. Liniang whispered: "Madam, I will go in and listen first. Don't agree to anything, but say everything."
Su Jinsong was puzzled. He glanced at Liniang and said, "What do you promise?"
Liniang smiled and said, "Don't agree to anything."
Just as he was talking, Lu Liu came out of the room, opened the curtain, and said loudly: "Old madam, madam is here." After saying that, she said dissatisfiedly: "Why did madam come?"
Liniang sneered and said: "What? You think Madam is slow, I will return to you and the old Madam later, how about you become the Madam?"
Luliu was stunned. She didn't expect that this woman who had only been here for a day, besides being prettier than herself and more appreciated by the madam, would dare to talk to the maid next to the old lady like this. She couldn't help but said: "Who are you? How dare you talk to me like this?"
say?"
Liniang stepped forward and slapped Luliu so hard that she forgot to cry. She covered her face with one hand and pointed at Liniang with the other, "How dare you hit me?" After saying this, she raised her hand.
Su Jinsong didn't like this Luliu in the first place, but he just endured it, thinking that the old lady didn't say anything, and he didn't want to meddle in those nosy matters, but Liniang's slap made her feel very happy.
"What? Do you still want to hit my people?" Su Jinsong said coldly
Luliu was stunned. She naturally knew who had the final say in this family, and naturally she was the one who didn't dare to hit Su Jinsong. Seeing Su Jinsong say this, she had to put down her hand angrily and just gave Liniang a vicious look.
Su Jinsong entered the room and saw his second concubine Luo Shi sitting aside with a handkerchief covering her face and crying. Mrs. Su had a dark face and looked very angry. She was lying on the imperial concubine chair without saying anything, while Su Jinxiang was kneeling on her back.
They were talking angrily on the ground.
"Why do all the good things come from the front yard? I heard from the maid Yu'er next to me that Mrs. Liu sent a lot of things over a few days ago, including bird's nests and ginseng. My aunt is not in good health. I asked the eldest sister
What's wrong with asking for something to feed my aunt?"
When the second aunt saw Su Jinsong coming in, she quickly stood up, curtsied and said, "The eldest lady is here."
Su Jinsong glanced at the third sister on the ground, walked to Mrs. Su and sat down, while Liniang walked to stand beside her.
"Third sister, please tell me if you have anything to say." Su Jinsong said softly.
Su Jinxiang snorted softly and said: "I don't dare to get up. Now this family is not called Su Mansion, but Qiu Mansion. Although he is a son-in-law, he has a relationship with the prince now, and so does the eldest sister now.
She is Mrs. Liu’s adopted daughter, and the rest of us are just following Master Qiu for a living.”
"Xiang'er, shut up." Second aunt Luo Shi finally couldn't help scolding her.
Mrs. Su sneered and said: "Okay, okay, very good. It has only been more than a month since we arrived, and you can't help it anymore and are about to jump out. I thought you would wait until your son-in-law goes to sea before you jump out.
I didn’t expect that I couldn’t bear it this much.”
