Chapter 73 Dinner

Everyone was surprised again, Zhong Xiaoqin was quite capable of causing trouble.

Is it the maid's fault that she didn't bring enough money? Does the maid still have the power to spend money in the house?

Everyone knew it well and didn't expose Zhong Xiaoqin's little trick.

The boss didn't want Cui'er to stay here. "It doesn't matter if you don't bring enough money. I'll just follow the lady to the house to get it. How can I wrong Miss Cui'er."

Zhong Xiaoqin's alarm immediately went off. She couldn't let him follow her. If her father knew that she was spending money freely outside, she would be dead.

No, never!

"Don't you believe me, boss? It's just three hundred taels of silver, can I still send it back?"

Liu'er, why don't you leave quickly? Or do you want to stay here?"

After saying that, Guan Zhong Xiaoqin didn't care about the helpless Cui'er, and directly pushed people away and left the store.

Walked away without looking back.

Liu'er could either leave or stay for a while.

In the end, he could only sigh and said, "Wait for me to save you."

Then he ran in the direction Zhong Xiaoqin left.

Cui'er cried silently, and the voices of the people around her sounded like a bar knife, cutting hard into her heart.

But...what can she do?

A person who sells his body has no human rights to speak of.

The boss couldn't stop Zhong Xiaoqin from leaving in a hurry, so he had to place his hope on Cui'er.

Fortunately, everyone dispersed when they saw that there was no gossip to watch.

Lin Nanyi and Bai Yi Baiyin went to another store. The attitude of this store was obviously much better than the previous one. When they saw them coming in, they greeted them enthusiastically.

No matter what Lin Nan asked, he always had a good attitude.

Not bad!

The price is also reasonable.

Lin Nanyi finally chose an inkstone and a langhao pen for only fifty taels of silver.

How can I think of the lion opening his mouth like the one before.

After shopping around for a whole day, there were more and more things in the carriage. Looking at the trophies filling the carriage, Lin Nanyi didn't feel tired at all.

Several people got on the carriage and returned to the Bai Mansion.

Zuo had been waiting for her for a long time.

Seeing her coming back, he quickly called her over to talk.

"Mom, look what I bought you."

Lin Nan held the small box in his hand and took out everything inside, "I have never been to Kyoto, and I don't know what strange things there are here. These are the ones I think are suitable for you, so I bought them for you.

Give it a try, it’s not expensive, don’t hesitate.”

Zuo was so happy that he didn't even have time to dislike it. He smiled so much that his eyebrows arched, and his whole person softened a lot.

"It doesn't matter, as long as I buy them one by one, I like them even if they cost a penny."

Zuo took the hairpin and couldn't put it down, and quickly asked Aunt Zhao to put it on herself.

I even went back to the house to admire the bronze mirror for a long time.

All the fantasies in her heart about her daughter have been realized in Lin Nanyi. Now Lin Nanyi is her own biological child in her heart.

Zuo asked the kitchen to bring a lot of pastries. Since it wasn't dinner time yet, she let Lin Nan eat some pastries to cushion his stomach.

"By the way, Yiyi, a message was sent from the Yushi Mansion today. It will be the birthday of Madam Yushi in three days. We are invited to go to the mansion to celebrate together. Can you go with me as my mother?"

Master Yushi? It sounds like you have a very high official position.

Lin Nanyi didn't understand the official system of the Dali Dynasty, but it sounded like a very big official.

"Okay, I'll go with my mother."

Seeing that Lin Nan agreed, Zuo's heart felt even warmer. It seemed like this was a little cotton-padded jacket, so considerate.

When Zuo received the message, she originally didn't plan to go. She was just going back to Kyoto for business and would not live in Kyoto permanently. Even if she didn't go, no one would say anything.

However, what Aunt Zhao said made her completely change her mind.

She has not been in Kyoto for a long time and does not care about the situation in Kyoto. For Nanny Zhao, who has lived in Kyoto all year round, she is a little behind.

In the future, Wen Zhiding will come to Kyoto to serve as an official, and Yiyi will definitely come. If we introduce her to him now, then when they come to Kyoto later, maybe this road will not be so difficult.

These are very important in Kyoto, especially in the court of fame and fortune that eats people without spitting out their bones.

As long as Yiyi lives well in the future, she doesn't mind using the Zuo family and the Bai family as her stepping stones. These are all things the Zuo family and the Bai family owe her to Zuo Yun, so this is not too much.

So Zuo accepted the post and planned to take Lin Nanyi to the banquet three days later. He also asked her to get used to it in advance. There will definitely be many such occasions in the future.

When the news spread that Zuo was going to the Censor's wife's birthday party, everyone was surprised. Even the Censor's Office felt that it would be bad not to send the post, so they sent it. They never expected that Zuo would agree.

Zuo's being able to come has slightly raised the level of this birthday banquet.

The censor can be regarded as an overweight second-rank official, but no one can shake the position of the Bai family in the court and the Dali, let alone a talented woman from the left who has not returned to Kyoto for more than ten years.

At that time, Zuo's reputation in Kyoto was no lower than Bai Yun's, and she could be regarded as a model among women.

Not only could she speak well, write poems with a pen, but she was also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. If she hadn't been so young at the time, the royal family would have made an exception and hired her as the female tutor to the princess in the palace.

Although more than ten years have passed, she seems to have fallen asleep in people's hearts. Now that she comes back, scenes from the past clearly emerge before our eyes.

Mrs. Yu Shi paid special attention to this banquet and already felt that it was not just her birthday banquet. You should know that Zuo rarely attended these banquets when she was in Kyoto, and it was even rarer for anyone to invite her.

Those who can invite her to the banquet must either have very good connections or be real dignitaries. For a second-grade official like the Yushi, it is a great honor to invite her.

Just this time, she can show off in front of her sisters for a long time.

Three days passed very quickly, and Zuo asked Jinxiu Pavilion to temporarily make Lin Nanyi's clothes, just waiting to wear them on the day of the birthday party.

As soon as Lin Nan touched the material of the clothes, he felt that it was extremely soft. He didn't feel any weight when he put it on his hands, and it felt surprisingly close to his body when he put it on.

The embroiderer is waiting at the Bai Mansion and can make modifications according to Lin Nanyi's requirements and body shape at any time to ensure the best fit.

Lin Nan was shocked again. The life of a rich man was so pleasant. Such high-end clothes were so comfortable to wear.

In just a few days, she had almost adapted to this kind of life.

Sure enough, it is easy to move from frugality to luxury, but difficult to move from luxury to frugality!

If she hadn't been rich, she would really have no confidence!

On the day of the birthday party, Lin Nan was pulled out of bed by Bai Yi and Bai Yin early in the morning and started cleaning up.

Before I even opened my eyes, two people were playing with me on my face.

This is the first time that the young lady has participated in such a formal banquet, so she must take it seriously.

If you don't sing, you will be a blockbuster.

When Lin Nan woke up from her drowsiness and opened her eyes, she no longer recognized the girl in front of her.

The invisible bronze mirror reflects a woman who is gorgeously dressed, with decent makeup, and even the headdress on her head is carefully matched.

Her skin was fair and so tender that it looked like water could be squeezed out of her mouth.

With big eyes and a high bridge of nose, Lin Nan couldn't help but sigh, if there were talent scouts here, then she would be an indelible star of tomorrow. With this look, it would be a pity not to be a star!

After admiring her beautiful appearance, she lowered her head and looked at the clothes she was wearing. The light purple dress made her look like a fairy descending from heaven. When paired with the white cloak, she looked like a perfect beauty.

She no longer has the image of a village girl in her village.

When she walked out of the room, Zuo was already waiting for her outside.

Seeing her come out, Mr. Zuo was stunned. She looked good in everything she wore.

Lin Nan held out his chest and walked towards Zuo with a lot of steps. He bowed politely and said, "Mother."

If Grandma Wang hadn't known about her previous life, she would never have believed that Lin Nanyi was someone who had lived in the village for more than ten years.

Etiquette, polite and generous, this is what our ladies should look like.

"Let's go."

After Zuo finished admiring it, she led her most precious Lin Nan out of the house.

Wu Bo hitched the carriage himself. When he saw them coming out, his eyes flashed with surprise, and then he lowered his head and said, "Madam, Miss, the horses are hitched, please."

As soon as Lin Nan helped Zuo get on the carriage, he followed. Going with them were Aunt Zhao and Bai Yi Baiyin. Aunt Wang had not been in Kyoto for more than ten years, and some of the rules were still unclear. Aunt Zhao

It would be better for grandma to follow.

Starting from Baifu, it is not far from Yushifu. It takes about two quarters of an hour to walk there.

The carriage stopped steadily. The boy waiting outside the Censor's Mansion saw that the carriage was the sign of the Bai Mansion, so he quickly picked up his energy and trotted down the steps to wait beside the carriage.

"Mrs. Zuo, my wife has been waiting in the house for a long time. Please come with me."

Zuo's status in Kyoto is not low, so even if she married Bai Yun, no one would call her with the surname Bai. They would still call her Zuo, which is enough to show her status in Kyoto.

Lin Nan got out of the car first, followed by Zuo. The waiter was dumbfounded when he saw Lin Nan. It took him a long time to realize that he had lost his composure, and he quickly blushed and lowered his head.

After leading the two of them into the mansion, Madam Yushi was already waiting in the front hall.

Since today was her birthday, all the ladies from various families were invited, so the birthday banquet was held in the backyard.

But Mrs. Censor still went to the front hall to greet Zuo.

Probably no one in Kyoto except the Zuo family can receive such treatment.

Next to Mrs. Yushi stood several young ladies from the Yushi family, and even the five-year-old daughter was also beside her.

It is enough to see that the Yushifu attaches great importance to the Zuo family.

Seeing Zuo's figure, several people walked towards them, their steps were hurried, but in a decent manner, and there was no sign of panic at all.

Lin Nan sighed inwardly. Sure enough, the upbringing she had since childhood was different from that of a dabbler like her. She could not hold on for as long as she persisted.

Seeing that she was a little nervous, Mr. Zuo patted her hand gently, indicating that she was by his side and there was no need to be nervous.

"It's really a blessing for Mrs. Zuo to come to this humble house!"

Mrs. Censor raised her smile and saluted Mr. Zuo.

Zuo nodded and returned a half salute, while Lin Nanyi saluted towards the blessed body of Madam Yushi.

"Today is Madam's birthday, so of course she has to come."
