The Emperor's Daughter Arrives: Upgrade to Fight Monsters and Find Husbands
Chapter 103 Lin Xiaoxiao
Originally thinking that Liang Tuo was going to tell a long and beautiful love story, Jiu Tang took out a fruit from the space and planned to eat it while listening.
Ayan's eyes were wide open, shining brightly in the gray room - he also liked to listen to gossip.
Unexpectedly, Liang Tuo pondered for a long time and did not speak. Maybe I don’t know where to start.
Finally, he sighed softly, and thousands of words seemed to be melted into this sigh.
Then he coughed twice again. He was so angry that he looked like he wouldn't be able to live for a few more days.
Then he took out a white jade hairpin from a precious place in his arms, and lightly traced it with his fingers. Through the dim light, Jiu Tang could clearly see that it was a jade hosta with two peach blossoms nestled against each other carved on it. The carving was not very exquisite, but it was obvious that the carver had put a lot of thought into it.
Apparently, he did it himself.
The surface is smooth, as if it has been carried for a long time.
"I promised to give this hairpin to her a few years ago. We once thought about becoming an ordinary couple. But...but my status is low and I am not worthy of her."
"But we are all helpless. I...how can I delay her."
Liang Tuo was immersed in his memories, his voice was hoarse, his words were confused and he didn't know what to say. Jiu Tang seemed to understand.
"Please give this hairpin to Miss Lin Mansion, Lin Xiaoxiao." Liang Tuo paused, "Perhaps, she should be called Concubine Shu now."
Jiu Tang was still lying on the ground with his legs crossed. Hearing Liang Tuo mention Lin Mansion, he couldn't help but ask: "Miss Lin Mansion? Lin Shishi's sister?"
Liang Tuo raised his head in surprise: "I think the girl seems to be a foreigner. I didn't expect that she has heard of the Lin Mansion? But that's right. In Eryuan Kingdom, the Lin Mansion is very powerful and has business all over the country. It's normal for the girl to have heard about it. .
"Lin Xiaoxiao is Lin Shishi's sister, but she is a concubine. We met at the temple fair five years ago. I was a boy at Lin's pawnshop at that time. My parents were seriously ill and I did odd jobs every day. Let’s collect some medicine money for my parents to survive.”
Liang Tuo didn't need to talk about what happened in between, Jiu Tang also understood it.
It was nothing more than that the Lin family's parents looked down on Liang Tuo, a poor boy, so Lin Xiaoxiao was forced to marry into the palace. Two fateful mandarin ducks on opposite sides of the sky.
I had never heard of Lin Shishi before. Her sister still had such a past.
"I think the girl can guess what happens next."
Jiu Tang nodded slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face: "Then, why did you appear in Yuan Mansion after you and Lin Xiaoxiao separated?"
"Because they need to threaten Xiaoxiao with me."
Liang Tuo didn't know much about the secrets involved, but he had heard a general idea these days:
"Mr. Yuan was suddenly looking for something during this period. I heard that it was a secret treasure of the royal family. Xiaoxiao is in the palace, so it is convenient to get started. Although the Yuan family also has a virtuous concubine, she has a deep relationship with the head of the Yuan family, so naturally she cannot be allowed to do so. I took a risk and found Xiaoxiao. Naturally, Xiaoxiao was unwilling, but they tied me over and threatened Xiaoxiao.
I originally only had the cultivation level of the consecration period, but the Yuan family leader was also afraid of causing more trouble, so he deliberately abolished my cultivation level and imprisoned me here. "
"You never thought about running away?"
"There are guards in front and behind the Yuan Mansion. As an ordinary person, it is as difficult as going to heaven to escape. Of course I don't want my existence to affect Xiaoxiao. However, my parents are also controlled by the Yuan Mansion. Now, if I am alone, I can do anything, but I can't abandon my parents."
Liang Tuo gently stroked the peach blossom hosta, looked at it reluctantly, stood up, and handed it to Jiu Tang with great care.
"Miss...if you have a chance, please pass it to the imperial concubine for me."
Liang Tuo said as if to comfort himself.
"How can I, an ordinary person, have the ability to meet a noble concubine?" Jiu Tang looked at Liang Tuo with a half-smile.
As he said these few words, his face turned quite pale.
"Xiao Xiao likes Rouge from Fang Fei Pavilion very much. Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and her maid will come to Fang Fei Pavilion at the first hour of every month. At that time, please give this hairpin and this letter to her maid .
Over the years, I have saved some money, so let’s treat it as a reward for the girl. Don’t let the girl dislike it. "
Something seemed to flash through Jiu Tang's mind, and there was an inexplicable look in his eyes. He pushed back the purse handed to her and said, "No, it's just a little effort."
Jiu Tang held the hairpin and the letter and walked out. As if thinking of something, she turned around and said to him: "Don't die so casually, maybe you will still have a chance to meet Lin Xiaoxiao."
There are some things she can't figure out now and she needs to go back and ask her sister.
"Mother, are we going back like this?"
Jiu Tang replied as he walked: "Yes, their shift is about to change here, so it's a good time to sneak back at this time. What's more, it's almost dawn, and it's very inconvenient to move around. Let's come back another day."
When we arrived at Lin Mansion, it was just dawn.
Jiu Tang thought for a while, found a deserted corner, and changed his night clothes into ordinary clothes. I went to Lin Shishi's favorite steamed bun shop and bought her a drawer of steamed buns.
I think by this time, my sister has already woken up. I just happened to buy something for breakfast and go back, so I could have an explanation.
"Sister, where are you going?" As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Lin Shishi rolling around with an anxious look on her face.
Jiu Tang scratched his head and looked confused: "Didn't my sister say that she likes this buns? I was thinking of buying some for my sister."
Lin Shishi looked at her with some annoyance and stretched out her hand to scratch Jiu Tang's nose: "You. Just let the servants handle this kind of thing. Why don't you bother my sister to run away?"
My sister woke up early to buy her steamed buns. I was so touched!
The two simply washed up and went to the dining hall to eat.
As soon as he entered the door, Jiu Tang saw her huge portrait in the dining hall. The girl in the portrait is smiling sweetly, and is extremely beautiful. She is holding a gorgeous flower in her hand, which is exactly the moonflower that Xiao Zhi broke off and gave to her.
There was silence for two seconds. What was originally a nice landscape painting by a famous artist turned into her giant painting. This...
Lin Shishi proudly pulled Jiu Tang and pointed at the painting: "It looks good. I specially ordered someone to paint it according to the size here just so that it can be hung here. I didn't expect the effect to be so good. From now on, I will paint it every day I can’t be too happy to see my sister even when I’m eating!”
The two of them sat at the table and had breakfast.
"Sister, something suddenly occurred to me and I'm a little curious." Jiu Tang took a bite of the bun and said as if unintentionally.
"I heard that my sister's sister is a noble concubine in Eryuan country? I rarely hear my sister mention it."
Lin Shishi put down the bun in her hand, her tone somewhat helpless.
