After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law
Chapter 119: A Wolf with Nothing (Part )
Lin Luoling has been with He Jinchun since she was a child. Not only is she a housekeeper, she is also proficient in business.
Yan Jing is different. Although he follows Jiang Feng to learn things, most of his dealings are with the managers in various mansions. He is a man who knows how to talk and do things. When it comes to business, he is not proficient in how to minimize losses.
Yan Jin returned to the Lin Mansion and told Jiang Feng about it. Jiang Feng only thought about it for a moment and realized that what Lin Luoling did was equivalent to getting something for nothing, so he praised their young lady repeatedly.
Yan Jin was about to ask something when Jiang Feng ordered him to take a few capable people with him and follow the servants sent by Lin Luoling to find the whereabouts of Zhou Yuanbao.
Lin Luoling and Chen Yin left Yongning Marquis Mansion and were on their way to Pinxiangzhai when their carriage was stopped.
The driver said, "Miss, this is the carriage from Governor Cao's mansion."
Lin Luoling lifted the curtain and looked out. Lady Liu, the wife of Governor Cao, got off the carriage with a girl of about thirteen or fourteen, and walked towards them.
Lin Luoling met Governor Cao's wife twice.
One time was when her grandfather He Xueyi celebrated his 60th birthday. It happened that Governor Cao came to Beijing to report on his work, so she brought her family to celebrate the birthday of her grandfather He Xueyi.
At that time, Lin Luoling was twelve years old, and He Jinchun took her to invite the wife of Governor Cao and his family to have a meal in the inner court.
The second time was when Lin Luoling's aunt Lin Yuru was taken to Jingxuzhou by her father. He Jinchun didn't want Lin Yuru to stay in the house all day, so he took Lin Yuru and Lin Luoling to go shopping and appreciate the flowers in Jingxuzhou. They also visited all the beautiful scenery around.
As luck would have it, one day when it rained and they were hiding in the pavilion to avoid the rain, the wife of Governor Cao happened to pass by with her two daughters. They also got off the carriage and took shelter in the pavilion.
They were not very familiar with each other, but because it was raining, they chatted for nearly an hour.
The father of the wife of Governor Cao was the Earl of Wuling. He died of illness in his early years, and the title of Earl of Wuling was inherited by his eldest son.
The wife of Governor Cao seldom went out and raised children who were all outstanding. She was a low-key, introverted person who spoke little.
After two meetings, Lin Luoling was deeply impressed by the wife of Governor Cao.
Don't be fooled by her quietness and her inconspicuousness in the crowd. She is actually a scheming and cunning woman.
Seeing this, Lin Luoling and Chen Yin got off the carriage one after another.
The wife of Governor Cao said with a smile, "During the Hundred Flowers Festival a few days ago, I invited you to my house for a visit. I waited for a long time, but you didn't come."
When I first heard this, it sounded a bit blaming and displeased.
But Lin Luoling knew that given the temperament of Governor Cao's wife, if she really cared about this matter, she would only keep it in her heart and would not say it out loud.
Lin Luoling bowed and said, "Things are different now. After all, I am married now. I can't be as playful and noisy as I was when I was still married. My father and mother can spoil me, but other people, no matter how much they love me, dare not spoil me like that. Wouldn't that make people laugh at me?
The wife of Governor Cao is a broad-minded person, so I was a little casual. If it were someone else, I would probably have to think about what to say in my mind. "
The wife of Governor Cao looked at Lin Luoling with her eyes deepened. She had met him twice before, and He Jinchun was present. Lin Luoling only greeted her and said hello, and nothing else. This was the first time she heard Lin Luoling speak to her seriously, and she suddenly realized that Lin Luoling was a talkative and likable person.
These words first implied that she had lost her freedom by marrying into the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, then praised the wife of Governor Cao, and took the opportunity to bring them closer together.
The wife of Governor Cao thought to herself that this boy was worthy of being raised by He Jinchun with great care.
"I wanted to invite you to my house that day because I wanted to ask you something." Mrs. Cao said:
"It's not a big deal. About ten years ago, my brother and sister-in-law often came to visit me in Beijing and Xuzhou. They are of the same temperament as me, preferring quiet to noise, so they bought a house with three entrances and three exits in Dongcheng District, two streets away from my house.
In recent years, my brother and sister-in-law have been busy and have come less often. Recently, Bingcao Congshi was thrown into prison and questioned. Their house has been vacant since then, separated by a wall.
So I bought their house and renovated it. Not only could I expand the mansion, but it would also be convenient for my brother and sister-in-law to live in when they came over in the future.
So I decided to sell the house with three entrances and three exits for my brother and sister-in-law. "
After a pause, the wife of Governor Cao continued, "Although your Lin family has never been involved in the business of market and rent, you do know many people who are engaged in business. However, your mother is a busy person, so I thought of asking you to help keep an eye out and see if anyone around you is planning to buy a house so that I can talk to them."
Lin Luoling was just wondering why the wife of Governor Cao stopped her carriage.
Just a few words and she knew a lot.
Before, she and Jiang Chi had said that they wanted a house with three entrances and three exits. On the surface, it was for sale in the market, but in reality, it was for rent in the market. The wife of Governor Cao specifically mentioned this matter today. It must be that Prince An ordered Governor Cao to do this.
The residence of Bingcao Congshi was separated from the residence of Governor Cao by only a wall. Liu Bo was Bingcao Congshi's aide. Jiang Chi set fire to Prince An's Mansion, Tianxiang Tower, and Qionglou Yuge. Although the eldest prince Prince Jin and the second prince Prince Rui suspected each other, they could only blame Governor Cao.
Prince An wrote a letter to Emperor Deshun to plead for Inspector Cao, but someone had to take the blame for this matter, and it was obviously the Military Affairs Department's historian.
As a result, the chess piece of the military officer stationed by the eldest prince, Prince Jin, in Xuzhou, Beijing, was useless.
If you think about it carefully, the eldest prince, Prince Jin, only has one jade tower in Xuzhou, the capital. Prince Jin should be very eager to repair the jade tower.
It seems that Prince An deliberately did not want Prince Jin to renovate the jade tower, so the craftsmen sent by Governor Cao repaired the burned palaces in Prince An's Mansion, and would also renovate Governor Cao's Mansion and the residence of Bingcao Gongshi.
The person in charge of the Qionglouyuge wants to find a craftsman, but he is afraid it will take two or three months to find one.
This is clearly the best opportunity for Lin Luoling to raise the price.
The governor of Chen County and the military official were both sent to prison, leaving two official positions vacant in Xuzhou. These two positions would definitely be filled by people secretly arranged by Prince An.
This shows that Prince An is very cunning, and also demonstrates the eloquence of Governor Cao's wife in revealing so many things to her in just a few words.
Lin Luoling smiled faintly and said, "I do know someone who wants to buy a house with three entrances and three exits, but I don't know what that person is thinking. I'll ask him a few questions and then give his reply to Madam Cao, the governor, okay?"
This statement was neither rejected nor agreed to outright. Mrs. Cao, the governor, was slightly startled, and soon understood the meaning of Lin Luoling's words, and smiled and said, "Of course."
Lin Luoling said, "When Governor Cao's wife expands her mansion, she must send someone to let me know, and I will go to congratulate her."
The wife of Governor Cao smiled and agreed, then asked, "Where are you going? Don't leave the city. This morning I heard that the wives, concubines and children of County Magistrate Chen were killed by bandits at Sanliting outside the south city. No one survived. It's safer to stay in the city for the next few days."
