Don't mess with cannon fodder

Mrs. Li is a very kind old man. In Li Wanwan's memory, she is the most important existence.The Lin family was poor, and if they hadn't worked hard to make money, they wouldn't have been able to support a scholar. Li Wanwan's real surname was completely forgotten, so after being bought by the Li family, she took her surname.

Although Mr. Lin didn't talk much, he was still a kind old man. He squinted his old eyes and looked at the daughter-in-law who came over with a smile.

"Wanwan, take a break after selling the embroidery samples today, we still have money at home, don't hurt your eyes because of the embroidery." Li Shi held Xiuyu's hand, her calloused fingertips were a little rough, and Xiuyu Yu pursed the corners of her lips and smiled sweetly, "Mother, I will pay attention. Our family's money has to be reserved for the husband, so I will save more money, so I can't let you suffer."

Mrs. Li looked at her with relief, and sighed: "Wanwan, you have suffered a lot in the past few years when you married Shouye. If I had known earlier, it would be better to recognize you as a goddaughter than to stay alone now."

Mr. Lin coughed a few times, and said reproachfully, "Old lady, you are messing around!"

Mrs. Li snorted coldly, touched Xiuyu's head and retorted: "Old man, don't think my words are harsh. Take a look at your good son. He hasn't seen anyone for several years. He only sends a safe letter every year. Who to send? Write to ask him where he is now and what he is doing. Have you ever responded to us? Isn’t it perfunctory every time? If Wanwan didn’t take care of us, we would have become a cup of loess !" The more Li said, the more angry she became. Although she is old, she is not stupid. She didn't see Shou Ye back home a few years ago, and she could find a reason for him, but after a long time, her heart became cold.

Mr. Lin was so angry that he didn't know what to say about Mrs. Li, he stared and blew on his beard.

Xiuyu couldn't help feeling that the two elders were childish and cute, so she hurriedly said: "My husband has his own affairs to do, and his parents have worked so hard to raise him, so of course he will not forget the elders."

Mrs. Li is very disappointed with that son, even though she misses him every night, "Wanwan, listen to my mother's advice, don't tire yourself too much. Look at your serious illness a few days ago, which almost scared my mother to death. .”

Xiuyu had no choice but to nod her head in agreement, said a few homely words with them, and then went to prepare lunch.

"Is anyone home? Is anyone there?"

When Mrs. Li heard someone knocking on the door, she walked over with strides. "Who is it?"

"There is your letter."

Mrs. Li was overjoyed when she heard the words, and even the serious Mr. Lin changed his expression.Li Shi hurriedly opened the door and saw a handsome man, before Li Shi could speak, he took out the letter from his satchel and handed it to her. "Your letter."

Mrs. Li was a little literate. After opening the letter and glanced at it, she said excitedly to Mr. Lin: "It's Shouye who is coming back!"

"What? Show me quickly."

Mr. Lin's eyes turned red immediately, and he laughed and cursed: "This kid, you still know how to come back!"

"Hurry up and tell Wanwan the news."

Xiuyu was wiping her wet hands in the kitchen, not surprised by the news that Lin Shouye was coming back.His return was the tragic beginning of Li Wanwan's last life, Xiuyu thought of that person's hypocrisy and kindness, and a trace of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

Lin Shouye, who was far away in the capital, asked the butler to prepare the room and the carriage. He is now a flower lover, and the emperor treats him very well. He showed his sharpness at the previous flower feast, and someone will definitely come to the door this month. Finding a son-in-law, regardless of other things, it is better for my wife in my hometown to solve it first. A vulgar woman like her can only drag me down, and then write a letter to her to let her go.

"My lord, the carriage and room have been prepared. I wonder when my lord will leave?" the butler asked.

Lin Shouye smiled arrogantly, watching the two enter the courtyard, his heart was full of pride, and he finally settled in the capital.

"Leave in three days."

He has a good appearance, has a good conversation and is romantic, otherwise he would not be so confident that someone will come to catch his son-in-law.

Lin Shouye is not considered a child of fortune in this world, but he is sheltered by people of good fortune, so the power of official fortune has gradually reached its peak.

And that lucky person is Princess Defu.

Speaking of this Princess Defu, she is sulking in the Princess Mansion and waiting for someone to coax her.

"Princess, princess, please listen to my servant's persuasion. Since the emperor didn't marry Master Lin, it means that the princess still has a chance, doesn't it?" The maid Ziyuan comforted her, and brought her her favorite cake while talking.

Princess Defu thumped the table and said angrily: "Ziyuan, Father, he did it on purpose! And the fourth sister will definitely come to rob me again this time, I really hate it!"

Ziyuan was helpless, "Princess be careful."

"I can't complain in my princess's mansion?" Princess Defu rolled her eyes, her delicate appearance became more cute because of this action, she was born of a noble concubine, because she is a young girl, so the noble concubine and the emperor are very fond of her She also caused her simple temperament, but it made the noble concubine turn gray.

Ziyuan had no choice but to change the subject, pointing to one of the plate of milk cakes, Rou said: "Princess, try this, it's made by the cook that Cousin Miss specially found for the princess."

Princess Defu tilted her head, "Cousin has returned to Beijing?"

Ziyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and continued, "The cousin returned to Beijing yesterday. If the princess wants to see the cousin, this servant will send someone to look for her."

Telford rested his chin and puffed his mouth, "Will my cousin be annoyed by this?"

There was a smile in Ziyuan's eyes, "How could it be, Cousin misses the princess the most."

At this time, Hongju lifted the curtain and entered, smiled and saluted Princess Defu and said, "Princess, Cousin is here."

Princess Defu couldn't sit down immediately, and flew out like a butterfly. When she saw Ye Jiayan, she cheered and threw herself into her arms.

"cousin!"

Ye Jiayan staggered, almost lost his footing, looked down at Defu's hair in his arms and said, "You're already a big girl, and you're still so reckless."

Defu snorted arrogantly: "My cousin doesn't even miss me, she scolds me as soon as she meets."

Ye Jiayan pinched her cheek and said with a smile, "You are a little heartless."

"Hey, where has my cousin been these few days?"

Ye Jiayan stroked her frizzy hair, deep eyes could be seen, "It's nothing, I just went to do business."

"Cousin is busy now?"

"That's right, I heard from my aunt that you lost your temper in the palace, so I came here right away. What's the matter, Xiao Defu also just fell in love?" Ye Jiayan couldn't stop teasing, a faint smile was drawn on his lips.

Defu held her hand, shrugged his mouth and said: "My concubine loves to sue you, and I don't have to rely on Lin Shouye, it's just that he was the best-looking in that wedding banquet, so I don't want to Find someone ugly to marry."

Ye Jiayan raised his eyebrows, and thought: He is really a child, he only likes pretty things, but he doesn't know that he is a person with poisonous thorns.

"Aunt also cares about you."

"Don't talk about those annoying things, cousin, I don't even know what to present for the emperor's grandmother's birthday, does my cousin have any ideas?"

Ye Jiayan sat with her on the stone bench in the yard, and said lightly: "The most important thing is your heart."

Defu was very discouraged, "Cousin, it's as if you didn't say what you said."

Ye Jia said: "Let the people under you look slowly, maybe they will meet the object that suits you the most."

Defu sighed, "That's the only way to go. By the way, cousin, it's a pity that you didn't go to the Xianghua banquet a few days ago."

"What am I going to do? Is it okay to make those wealthy people look down?" Ye Jiayan teased. Although the Ye family is an imperial businessman, in the eyes of those people, their status is still the lowest. Ye Jiayan is too lazy to argue with them, so some banquets are rarely held. to participate.But Ye Jiayan has a special status, even if those people look down on her, they won't embarrass her face to face.Who made Ye Jiayan's mother the god-sister of the imperial concubine?

Defu patted his chest, bared his teeth and said, "Whoever dares to say that you are wrong, I will show my cousin!"

Ye Jiayan smiled from the corner of his mouth, and sighed: "With your words, I am satisfied." It can be regarded as that he has not loved her in vain all these years.

Ye Jiayan listened patiently to Defu's complaints, but those light brown eyes scanned her, and a mechanical sound came out of his mind.

[NPC favorability has reached 90.00%. 】

[Gu Tang, 14 years old, the daughter of a noble concubine, a lucky person in this world. 】

[The side missions are still ten percent short to get rewards. 】

Ye Jiayan's eyes flashed, and the corners of his lips showed a little joy.This side quest is finally coming to an end. After finishing the side quest, you can go to the main quest.

"Cousin, why don't you speak?"

Ye Jiayan's eyes were bright, and he landed on Gu Tang, "I was thinking how handsome Lin Shouye is, to be praised so much by you."

Gu Tang was quite shy, covering his face and eyes, "Actually, it wasn't because he was handsome. I was secretly looking at those gentlemen, and he happened to find out. I didn't expect that man's face to turn red immediately. It was very interesting." Yes! Cousin, this is the first time I have seen such a shy gentleman."

The corners of Ye Jiayan's mouth twitched slightly, and he covered the corners of her lips with his sleeve, "I see." Lin Shouye... is really opportunistic, and it's no wonder that he can make Gu Tang give up on him.

"Isn't it very interesting?"

Ye Jiayan smiled, "If the princess is really interested in him, she can send someone to investigate his details, but I heard that Lord Lin's family is poor, so I don't know how life is going well now."

Gu Tang thought about it, "The family is poor? Not necessarily. Although the jade pendant around his waist last time was not high-quality, it was by no means an ordinary item."

Ye Jiayan raised Dai's eyebrows, and said with a little deep meaning: "Since this is the case, the princess should check him all the more."

"Ziyuan, get someone to check him." Gu Tang lost the smile on his face, and his eyebrows overflowed with coldness.

Ziyuan saluted, her eyes full of gratitude to Ye Jiayan.

As soon as the cousin makes a move, she will know if there is one.

Ye Jiayan nodded slightly, accepting her admiration.

Tsk, with me here this time, I'm afraid Lin Shouye won't be able to follow the path of a first-rank minister.
