Interstellar female dressed as country dude
Chapter 107
Because Wan Ruyi is in front, Xie Huaiyu can't take these brothers lightly.
After all, Bai Shu is very attractive to my brother, and it is not impossible if another brother falls in love with him.
He strode to Bai Shu's side, wrapped his arms around his waist, and pulled the belt towards him calmly, and Bai Shu's arm slipped out of Wei Yu's grasp.
When Wei Yu saw Xie Huaiyu, his face turned red, and he didn't care about these details, so he only slightly blessed him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ankang."
Wen Xiu'e and the others also saluted Xie Huaiyu at this time, Xie Huaiyu looked at these strange men and women in a daze, and took a while to recall.
These people turned out to be Mr. Japanese and the family members of Marquis Wei's family. If he hadn't helped Xiang Zhong Li to look at them that day, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to remember their identities.
"It turned out to be Master Wen and the brother and daughter of Lord Wei's family." Xie Huaiyu said, "It's such a coincidence that they are all acquaintances, so let's give a discount to the jewelry you buy today."
Xie Huaiyu explained to the clerks in the store that he had sold favors to a few of them, so he wanted to leave with his arms around Bai Shu, not wanting to pay any more attention to these people.
However, Wei Yu still asked with some unwillingness to give up: "Brother Bai, how about I send you a post about Qiqiao Banquet?"
Bai Shu didn't know whether he should agree or not, so he turned to look at Xie Huaiyu.
Xie Huaiyu glanced at him, hesitated, and said, "If you want to go, go."
Although he doesn't like this guy, but Bai Shu first came to Beijing and has no friends, so it's good to have some fun and make some friends.And Bai Shu is his daughter-in-law, the Wei family's invitation is a kind of recognition of his identity, and it is beneficial to Bai Shu.
Seeing that Xie Huaiyu did not object, Bai Shu felt that the banquet should be fine, so he agreed to Wei Yu's invitation and nodded, "Then I will wait for your post."
After speaking, he sincerely smiled at Wei Yu and left with Xie Huaiyu.
After they walked away, Wei Yu still stared blankly at the direction Xie Huaiyu left.
Wen Xiu'e covered her mouth when she saw it, and said with a coquettish smile: "Brother Yu, it seems that you have fallen in love with the young master of the Xie family. But the young master of the Xie family is indeed a dragon and phoenix among people, so it's no wonder that Brother Yu likes it." .”
Wei Ling frowned when she heard this, and said loudly: "Sister Xiu'e, don't laugh at him, Yu'er is a brother in the boudoir, how can he be interested in anyone, he just fell in love with Mr. Xie's fiancee , chatted a few more words."
At this time, Wen Xiu'e added embellishments and said, "Sister Ling'er is really a sister and brother. I'm afraid that Brother Yu's reputation will be ruined. In fact, although Mr. Xie's family already has a wife, the position of concubine is still vacant." Is it? And everyone has seen that the fiancée is no different from a man, and she is destined to fall in love with brother Yu, even if she works together as a husband and a pair of good brothers, there is nothing wrong with it, isn't it harmonious and beautiful?"
"Sister Xiu'e's words are really too much!" Wei Ling said with a cold face when she heard the words, she grabbed Wei Yu's arm again, dragged him away, and left the jewelry store without looking back.
After they left, Wen Xiu'e raised her head, snorted with some displeasure, and said to Wen Yaoguang, "When Wei Yu saw Xie Huaiyu, her eyes were about to pop out, but Wei Ling was still covering her here. Yu is just a concubine, and being able to marry into Xie's family as a concubine is not a disgrace to him. I was supposed to marry someone as a concubine, but marrying Xie Huaiyu, who is such an unattractive main room, wouldn't it be an advantage? , My words are also for Wei Yu's sake."
After hearing Wen Xiu'e's words, Wen Yaoguang didn't change her expression, but said softly, "Maybe Wei Ling's sister wants Wei Yu to marry a good man as the main wife, so she's in a hurry, sister, don't be angry with her."
Wen Xiu'e glanced at Wen Yaoguang when she heard the words, rolled her eyes and said, "You really don't know anything, and you don't know how to grow your brain! I heard that the Second Highness gave some water to Marquis Wei during the Dragon Boat Festival." Wine, the Wei family began to deliberately reveal to the outside world, saying that His Highness seems to have taken a fancy to Wei Ling."
Speaking of this, she narrowed her eyes and curled her lips: "Then Wei Ling is very proud now, I'm afraid she has regarded herself as a princess in advance! She didn't know that His Royal Highness also gave her father a gift at the Dragon Boat Festival, but it was because her father didn't like it." Happy to make public, I didn’t talk about it outside.”
Wen Yaoguang smiled slightly after hearing this, and said softly: "My sister knows a lot, Yaoguang really doesn't know about this matter. The Second Highness treats Wen and Wei families equally, which means that it is just an ordinary etiquette, there is no such thing as meaning."
"Wrong, that festival gift was only given to our two families, not the Liu family." Wen Xiu'e said a little proudly, raised her head and raised her eyebrows with a smile: "These two highnesses must be selected from our Wen and Wei families. If my wife and concubine are gone, then Liu Fangfei is out of the game."
After finishing speaking, she took Wen Yaoguang's hand and said, "Yaoguang, come and help me choose some jewelry carefully. Wouldn't it be better if the two of us could become the concubine of the Second Highness together and marry into a family."
Wen Yaoguang paused imperceptibly, hooked the corner of his mouth and said: "Yaoguang, but according to my sister's orders."
Besides, Wei Ling pulled Wei Yu into the carriage and asked the coachman to drive towards the Hou Mansion.
She first explained to a few servant girls who followed her, so that they must not make this matter public.
He put down the curtain again, and Wei Ling and Wei Yu were left alone in the carriage.
Because of her poor status, Wei Yu was still a little afraid of her own sister.
Wei Ling looked at Wei Yu with hatred and said: "You are too reckless today, you have lost the face and dignity of our Marquis Mansion. Then Xie Huaiyu is so good, let you, a Marquis born, rush to go To be a concubine?"
Hearing the words, Wei Yu said unwillingly: "My sister said that. At our age, there are only those who are of the right age in Beijing. When it comes to wealth, it is His Royal Highness, Second Highness, Mr. Xie and Mr. Qi who are the best. gone."
Seeing that Wei Ling did not refute, Wei Yu boldly said: "However, His Highness has already appointed the daughter of the Qi family, and his reputation is known even if everyone does not mention it. And Mr. Qi has been in Beijing all year round. Outside the suburban city, there will be another leader of the army in the future. There are two remaining His Royal Highness and Mr. Xie. His Highness has already revealed to his father that he wants to marry you, so he will definitely not accept another concubine from the Wei family. There is only one Mr. Xie left, if I fight for it, what is wrong with it?"
While talking, Wei Yu sighed and said: "Sister, you are a concubine, so you don't understand that my concubine's status is embarrassing. I always want to be a concubine for others. Being able to be a concubine for Mr. Xie is better than being a concubine for others. A concubine is ten thousand times better. Look at Mr. Xie's wife, such a brother... is better than a noble girl from a famous family, even though he is a bit vulgar, he is not difficult to get along with."
But Wei Ling shook her head and said: "You think so beautifully. I don't think Mr. Xie is close to women, and he may not be able to take concubines. And don't you think that brother looks like a man, you can compare him Go on. I heard that some people don't like women by nature, but love men instead, maybe thank you, Mr. He..."
Wei Ling didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Wei Yu's face paled, and she was shocked and said: "You mean Mr. Xie may have a habit of breaking sleeves?"
"There is no evidence, but there is a slight possibility. After all, this brother is no different from a man." Wei Ling said with some embarrassment: "And the ring on his hand, I saw that Mr. Xie is also wearing the same ring. He also showed some protection towards him. Everyone said Mr. Xie was just forced to marry this country man, why do I think this is not the case, you should just treat this little brother Bai as a distinguished guest. "
What Wei Ling said made Wei Yu feel cool in his heart.He is really interested in the position of Xie's concubine, but he also knows that Wei Ling is smart, so he will not talk nonsense.So she decided to wait for Qiqiao's day, and invited little brother Bai to come over and wait and see.
Xie Huaiyu took Atractylodes to Laifulou again, and this dinner will be eaten in Laifulou.
The owner of Laifulou has changed, Xie Huaiyu naturally wants to bring the shopkeeper to meet Baishu.
The shopkeeper's surname is Fang, who has reached the age of knowing destiny.The store in Beijing Zhonglai Fulou has also been operating for 30 years.
After talking with the shopkeeper, Bai Shu was able to take out the accounts of Laifulou and explain all kinds of income and losses clearly.
Bai Shu nodded approvingly while watching, and said to Xie Huaiyu after Shopkeeper Fang left, "This shopkeeper Fang is really a very good person. The first time I saw me, he was neither humble nor overbearing, so he reported all the losses in the shop. Yes. Although not very tactful, but it is such a character that makes people feel more at ease."
"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't let him be the shopkeeper of this Beijing store." Xie Huaiyu laughed.
Among the shopkeepers of his countless shops, that shopkeeper is by no means the most eloquent.Even doing things in a rigid manner, some will not come.
But it was also because of this that he was relieved to hand over the tens of thousands of taels of silver business in the capital to him, and the other party lived up to his expectations, and managed the shop very safely, and the income has always been good.
While the two were talking, someone brought up a plate of shiny duck skin.The duck skin was cut into finger-length slices, with orange crispy skin on top and milky white fat underneath.
There are also some skins as thin as cicada's wings, as well as shredded green onions, shredded cucumbers, sweet and sour sauce, sweet noodle sauce, powdered sugar, etc. Xiaodie's ingredients.
"This is?" Bai Shu looked at his index finger, it was the first time he had seen such a delicacy.
"Crispy-skin duck." Xie Huaiyu said, he picked up an oval-shaped piece of the thickest duck skin, dipped it in sugar and handed it to Baishu's mouth, saying: "Try this, this is the skin from the breast of the duck. There are only four pieces of duck, which is the most delicious, and it just complements the shape."
Bai Shu: "..."
Hell, Bai Shu automatically ignored Xie Huaiyu's words.
Xie Huaiyu usually looks pure and ascetic.
But in front of him, he would suddenly say some irrelevant and flirty words, which made Bai Shu a little overwhelmed.
As soon as he took the piece of duck skin in his mouth, he felt that the meringue melted in his mouth, as sweet as milk, not like meat, but more like dessert, and the taste was different from what he had imagined.
"Is it delicious?" Xie Huaiyu asked with a smile when he saw that he had eaten.
"Delicious." Bai Zhu nodded, it was quite delicious.
Xie Huaiyu was very happy to see him, and fed him another piece.Then he picked up a thin piece of dough, put a piece of duck skin, some shredded green onion and other ingredients into it and wrapped it up.
"You try this again."
Bai Shu ate a mouthful with his hands, and the mouthful was full of flavor, fat but not greasy.
"It's delicious." He couldn't help but praise.
Xie Huaiyu said casually: "This is Laifulou's signature, a dish costs 30 taels of silver. Every day there are many people from other places who come here to eat."
"It's so unique, it's no wonder that it can keep guests." Bai Shu said full of praise.
"There have also been many people who wanted to grab business and dig cooks." Xie Huaiyu smiled and said, "It's just that I give the best treatment to cooks. And the ducks are also self-raised in the farms on the outskirts of Beijing. That's it." If the cook is taken away, the taste will be different, so it can stand still, and you should take care of it when you run the business in the future."
Xie Huaiyu was telling Baishu the secret, and Baishu nodded very seriously when he heard the words, then wrapped a crispy duck and handed it to Xie Huaiyu, winking and mischievously said: "Master taught this disciple so It’s a lot, it’s really hard work, eat a duck’s neck and take a break to replenish your body.”
Xie Huaiyu was startled, but laughed loudly, grabbed Bai Zhu's wrist, ate the crispy duck in one bite, then tapped the tip of Bai Zhu's nose and said, "Don't mess with me, or I will kill you in this wing now." done."
"Then you're going to do it now?" Bai Shu became excited for a moment, and said expectantly.
Xie Huaiyu: "..." Next time, I'd better just think about such coquettish words in my stomach.
When the two of them returned to Xie's house, Wushi had passed.
At this point, Xie Ling couldn't go to Xie Huaiyu to say something, so he had to fall asleep.
After a few more days like this, Xie Huaiyu introduced Jingzhong and Baishu one by one, and Baishu said to Xie Huaiyu: "If you have something to do, go and do it yourself. You don't have to accompany me every day, I have something to do too. to do."
Xie Huaiyu smiled, she had indeed pressed a lot of things and didn't do them.But with Bai Shu every day, the life is too happy, so I don't want to do it anymore.
But since Bai Shu noticed it, he also talked to Bai Shu and went to deal with his own affairs.
As a result, only Bai Zhu was left at home.
Xie Huaiyu allocated some manpower to Baishu, but they were not fully in place, so he was not in a hurry to go to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing immediately.
Bai Shu was alone at home on the first day, so he changed into light clothes and wanted to visit some shops in Beijing.
Before he went out, guests came to the yard.Bai Shu saw that it was Lin Shuyu who had come.
Speaking of this, Lin Shuyu is also a wonderful person.
When Xie Huaiyu was around, he hid far away and didn't show his face.
As soon as Xie Huaiyu left, he came out immediately, showing an affectionate look to Bai Shu, which made Bai Shu not used to it.
Lin Shuyu hugged the child, and sat in the Baishu room for a while, chatting homely from left to right.
They were all interesting stories about various families in Beijing, Bai Shu didn't really want to hear it, but he was attracted by him and listened for a while.
After a while, the child in Lin Shuyu's hands started crying.
Bai Shu thought that he should go back now, but Lin Shuyu said, "Sister-in-law, can I borrow your room for a while, so I can feed the child something."
Immediately, Bai Shu felt that Lin Shuyu was so ignorant, and it showed on his face.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his expression changed, Lin Shuyu was startled, and immediately knelt down towards him with the child in his arms.
When Lin Shuyu chatted with him, there was no servant in the house.His actions would not be seen by others, but Bai Shu was still taken aback.
"What are you doing?" Bai Shu frowned, trying to help him up.
But Lin Shuyu said word by word: "Brother Bai, I'm sorry! I know you are tired of me. When I was in Baitang Village, I didn't know what to do and caused troubles. But I also had no way out, that's why I did this."
"I am now in Xie's family. Although I am a concubine on the surface, I have no foundation in reality. Xie Qi has hatred for me, and I have to rely on Mr. Xie and you to live." Lin Shuyu said With tears in his eyes, he said: "Now I know that I have repented, and I only want my child to be well. But in this Xie family, I am an insignificant person, and I have no one to talk to. But please forgive me for my previous mistakes." , don’t argue with me.”
What Lin Shuyu said was sincere.He wanted to curry favor with Bai Zhu, and he was especially afraid that he would hate him.
On the other hand, in this Xie family, his status is subtle, and it is true that no one would talk to him, so when Bai Shu came, he would take the initiative to come over and talk to him, which was a bit long-winded.
Seeing Lin Shuyu like this, Bai Shu felt a little soft-hearted, so he didn't dislike him so much.
He is not that small-minded, since Lin Shuyu has no malicious intentions, he will not take the past matters to heart.
"Get up, don't kneel." Bai Shu said and pulled Lin Shuyu up and said, "I have something to go out, but you keep pulling me to talk. I'm a little impatient, but it's not against you."
When Bai Shu said this, Lin Shuyu was stunned for a moment, thinking about Bai Shu's temperament, he knew that he might be wrong.Then he blushed and said, "I'm narrow-minded. I judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Brother Bai, you have a broad personality."
"You are locked at home like this all day, so naturally you only have things in the yard in your eyes." Bai Shu said: "If you have nothing to do, go out and walk around more, find something to do, then you won't have time to think about it."
"But now I..." Lin Shuyu paused and said, "How can I walk around with my status?"
"Why can't you walk around?" Bai Shu glanced at him, "You have good hands and feet, and no one restricts you from going out. Is there anything you can't do? Even if you don't go out, don't you have nothing to do at home? Before I come, is it possible? Do you spend your time looking at the sun?"
Lin Shuyu choked, thought for a while and said, "When I have nothing to do, I write in my notebook, but I can't do anything if I write it myself."
Hearing about writing a notebook, Bai Shu raised an eyebrow, a little interested.
After he came to Daxuan, he was busy every day. The only books he read were those given by Qin Miaomiao.
Therefore, I feel that this Daxuan's notebook is probably of that style.
Didn't expect that Lin Shuyu could write a notebook?Bai Shu is very interested!Then he said to Lin Shuyu, "I wrote something, take me to have a look."
Lin Shuyu's face turned hot when he heard the words, and Bai Shu wanted to read the nonsense he had written, which made him really embarrassed.
But he was a little surprised, he didn't expect Bai Shu to be able to read and write.
Even in Beijing, there are not many people who teach my brother to read and write. He can do business and can read, so it's no wonder that Xie Huaiyu fell in love with him.
Lin Shuyu took Bai Shu to her room, and handed him the notebooks that she scribbled on a daily basis.
When Bai Shu met, he realized that he had misunderstood.
It turned out that the books Lin Shuyu was talking about were not the ones she had read, but short stories.
Lin Shuyu is a wit, and she is very beautiful in lower script.
Bai Shu saw that the story he wrote was probably based on his own life experience as a model, and it was not limited to love and love with talented scholars and beautiful women, but the writing was also full of ups and downs.
Unexpectedly, Lin Shuyu had such abilities, and Bai Shu looked at him differently.
Lin Shuyu saw that Bai Shu had been flipping through the book with his hands, but he didn't speak. He was also nervous, fearing that something written in the book would make Bai Shu unhappy, so he quickly said: "It's not well written, but it's nothing There is nothing to do.”
"No, it's very well written." Bai Shu said, turned to the last page, and put down the book: "It's just that the protagonist has drifted with the tide and depended on others all his life. It's a pity that his talents and learning were wasted. If he is self-reliant and self-reliant, use It is not difficult to support yourself and your children by improving your talents and learning."
"But...but he is a brother after all..." Lin Shuyu said after hearing the words.
Bai Shu laughed when he heard this, and said to him: "You also went to Baitang Village before. There is a brother there. He looks mediocre and has never studied for a day. His parents married a poor boy randomly. That brother After his son got married, he was beaten every day, and after he gave birth to a brother, he was beaten even more severely. Once, he offended the husband, and he and the child were almost beaten to death by that man. Guess what happened later What's wrong?"
Lin Shuyu was startled for a long time before shaking her head and saying, "I don't know..."
What can a brother like this do, marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, he has probably been beaten to death.
But Bai Shu went on to say: "Later he took the child and left that house, trying to make peace with that man. I hired him to work for me, he went to learn reading and arithmetic, and married a good man who loved him. Now He has become a steward, taking care of Baiyu Villa for me. The monthly silver is as much as the chief steward of the Xie family."
Lin Shuyu didn't know anything about Chen Dongqing because she didn't go out at the gate of Xie's house. Now when she heard Bai Shu talking about it, it was like listening to a scripture. She only felt admiration and envy for that brother.
He suddenly remembered that one night, he saw Bai Shu carrying a child to Xie's house, followed by a brother.
Xie Huaiyu also followed out that night and did not return all night...
Lin Shuyu guessed in his heart that the brother Bai Shu was talking about might be the one he saw that night.
And he also had some different feelings towards Bai Shu himself. Although the other party didn't say anything in detail, he must have helped that brother a lot.That brother was able to reconcile with his ex-husband smoothly, probably because of his and Xie Huaiyu's handwriting.
This guy is a really kind person...
"That brother originally had nothing, but he was able to do this. With your talent, it is a pity that you are only locked in this courtyard all day." Bai Shu said: "Your handwriting is so good, I don't know how much you have practiced. Cold and hot, the stories in this book are also beautifully written, but I hope the ending can be broader."
After Bai Shu finished speaking, she stood up. Lin Shuyu was so affirmed for the first time, but she was still a little sluggish, as if she hadn't reacted.
In the past, he practiced calligraphy every day regardless of his hard work, just to be able to marry better, but once his family was destroyed, he had to become a lowly one.
Now, by accident, he has regained his good status and gained the status of concubine of the Xie family.But after entering Xie's mansion, he felt that every day was empty, and he didn't need to go to any banquet to show his skills, so it was useless to learn this word.
Bai Shu's words made Lin Shuyu feel very ashamed. Compared with that country boy, he has much better conditions, but the other party did all the things he dared not do.
But he can only spend his days in this mansion...
"You continue to write. After finishing this book, you can find a bookstore outside to see if it can be printed as a booklet." Bai Shu said.
He remembered Qin Miaomiao's notebook he got, which was also printed in ink, as well as Xie Huaiyu's copybooks and stereotyped essays, many of which were also printed in ink.
This kind of thing can be printed, and the stories written by Lin Shuyu should also be printed. If it is sold, it is also a good business.
Bai Shu has a flexible mind and thinks quickly, especially since he has done a lot of business, he is also sensitive to these things that can make money.
Lin Shuyu couldn't believe it when he heard it. As a brother, how can such things written by him still come out of the script?
He didn't dare to think about it at all, but after hearing Bai Shu's words, he looked forward to it, and felt very moved, his heart was pounding, and a wave of warmth gushed out of his nostrils.
Everyone wants to be affirmed. Baishu's good writing of Lin Shuyu's story is more exciting than being praised for his beauty, figure, and talent.
After Bai Shu left, Lin Shuyu came back to his senses, the wind blew through the window and hit his face, Lin Shuyu realized that his face was actually cold.
He touched it with his hand, and at some point, he had burst into tears.
After all, Bai Shu is very attractive to my brother, and it is not impossible if another brother falls in love with him.
He strode to Bai Shu's side, wrapped his arms around his waist, and pulled the belt towards him calmly, and Bai Shu's arm slipped out of Wei Yu's grasp.
When Wei Yu saw Xie Huaiyu, his face turned red, and he didn't care about these details, so he only slightly blessed him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ankang."
Wen Xiu'e and the others also saluted Xie Huaiyu at this time, Xie Huaiyu looked at these strange men and women in a daze, and took a while to recall.
These people turned out to be Mr. Japanese and the family members of Marquis Wei's family. If he hadn't helped Xiang Zhong Li to look at them that day, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to remember their identities.
"It turned out to be Master Wen and the brother and daughter of Lord Wei's family." Xie Huaiyu said, "It's such a coincidence that they are all acquaintances, so let's give a discount to the jewelry you buy today."
Xie Huaiyu explained to the clerks in the store that he had sold favors to a few of them, so he wanted to leave with his arms around Bai Shu, not wanting to pay any more attention to these people.
However, Wei Yu still asked with some unwillingness to give up: "Brother Bai, how about I send you a post about Qiqiao Banquet?"
Bai Shu didn't know whether he should agree or not, so he turned to look at Xie Huaiyu.
Xie Huaiyu glanced at him, hesitated, and said, "If you want to go, go."
Although he doesn't like this guy, but Bai Shu first came to Beijing and has no friends, so it's good to have some fun and make some friends.And Bai Shu is his daughter-in-law, the Wei family's invitation is a kind of recognition of his identity, and it is beneficial to Bai Shu.
Seeing that Xie Huaiyu did not object, Bai Shu felt that the banquet should be fine, so he agreed to Wei Yu's invitation and nodded, "Then I will wait for your post."
After speaking, he sincerely smiled at Wei Yu and left with Xie Huaiyu.
After they walked away, Wei Yu still stared blankly at the direction Xie Huaiyu left.
Wen Xiu'e covered her mouth when she saw it, and said with a coquettish smile: "Brother Yu, it seems that you have fallen in love with the young master of the Xie family. But the young master of the Xie family is indeed a dragon and phoenix among people, so it's no wonder that Brother Yu likes it." .”
Wei Ling frowned when she heard this, and said loudly: "Sister Xiu'e, don't laugh at him, Yu'er is a brother in the boudoir, how can he be interested in anyone, he just fell in love with Mr. Xie's fiancee , chatted a few more words."
At this time, Wen Xiu'e added embellishments and said, "Sister Ling'er is really a sister and brother. I'm afraid that Brother Yu's reputation will be ruined.

"Sister Xiu'e's words are really too much!" Wei Ling said with a cold face when she heard the words, she grabbed Wei Yu's arm again, dragged him away, and left the jewelry store without looking back.
After they left, Wen Xiu'e raised her head, snorted with some displeasure, and said to Wen Yaoguang, "When Wei Yu saw Xie Huaiyu, her eyes were about to pop out, but Wei Ling was still covering her here.

Wen Yaoguang paused imperceptibly, hooked the corner of his mouth and said: "Yaoguang, but according to my sister's orders."
Besides, Wei Ling pulled Wei Yu into the carriage and asked the coachman to drive towards the Hou Mansion.
She first explained to a few servant girls who followed her, so that they must not make this matter public.

Seeing that Wei Ling did not refute, Wei Yu boldly said: "However, His Highness has already appointed the daughter of the Qi family, and his reputation is known even if everyone does not mention it.

His Highness has already revealed to his father that he wants to marry you, so he will definitely not accept another concubine from the Wei family. There is only one Mr. Xie left, if I fight for it, what is wrong with it?"
While talking, Wei Yu sighed and said: "Sister, you are a concubine, so you don't understand that my concubine's status is embarrassing. I always want to be a concubine for others. Being able to be a concubine for Mr. Xie is better than being a concubine for others. A concubine is ten thousand times better. Look at Mr. Xie's wife, such a brother... is better than a noble girl from a famous family, even though he is a bit vulgar, he is not difficult to get along with."
But Wei Ling shook her head and said: "You think so beautifully. I don't think Mr. Xie is close to women, and he may not be able to take concubines. And don't you think that brother looks like a man, you can compare him Go on. I heard that some people don't like women by nature, but love men instead, maybe thank you, Mr. He..."
Wei Ling didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Wei Yu's face paled, and she was shocked and said: "You mean Mr. Xie may have a habit of breaking sleeves?"
"There is no evidence, but there is a slight possibility. After all, this brother is no different from a man." Wei Ling said with some embarrassment: "And the ring on his hand, I saw that Mr. Xie is also wearing the same ring. He also showed some protection towards him. Everyone said Mr. Xie was just forced to marry this country man, why do I think this is not the case, you should just treat this little brother Bai as a distinguished guest. "
What Wei Ling said made Wei Yu feel cool in his heart.He is really interested in the position of Xie's concubine, but he also knows that Wei Ling is smart, so he will not talk nonsense.So she decided to wait for Qiqiao's day, and invited little brother Bai to come over and wait and see.
Xie Huaiyu took Atractylodes to Laifulou again, and this dinner will be eaten in Laifulou.
The owner of Laifulou has changed, Xie Huaiyu naturally wants to bring the shopkeeper to meet Baishu.
The shopkeeper's surname is Fang, who has reached the age of knowing destiny.The store in Beijing Zhonglai Fulou has also been operating for 30 years.
After talking with the shopkeeper, Bai Shu was able to take out the accounts of Laifulou and explain all kinds of income and losses clearly.
Bai Shu nodded approvingly while watching, and said to Xie Huaiyu after Shopkeeper Fang left, "This shopkeeper Fang is really a very good person. The first time I saw me, he was neither humble nor overbearing, so he reported all the losses in the shop. Yes. Although not very tactful, but it is such a character that makes people feel more at ease."
"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't let him be the shopkeeper of this Beijing store." Xie Huaiyu laughed.
Among the shopkeepers of his countless shops, that shopkeeper is by no means the most eloquent.Even doing things in a rigid manner, some will not come.
But it was also because of this that he was relieved to hand over the tens of thousands of taels of silver business in the capital to him, and the other party lived up to his expectations, and managed the shop very safely, and the income has always been good.
While the two were talking, someone brought up a plate of shiny duck skin.The duck skin was cut into finger-length slices, with orange crispy skin on top and milky white fat underneath.
There are also some skins as thin as cicada's wings, as well as shredded green onions, shredded cucumbers, sweet and sour sauce, sweet noodle sauce, powdered sugar, etc. Xiaodie's ingredients.
"This is?" Bai Shu looked at his index finger, it was the first time he had seen such a delicacy.
"Crispy-skin duck." Xie Huaiyu said, he picked up an oval-shaped piece of the thickest duck skin, dipped it in sugar and handed it to Baishu's mouth, saying: "Try this, this is the skin from the breast of the duck. There are only four pieces of duck, which is the most delicious, and it just complements the shape."
Bai Shu: "..."
Hell, Bai Shu automatically ignored Xie Huaiyu's words.
Xie Huaiyu usually looks pure and ascetic.
But in front of him, he would suddenly say some irrelevant and flirty words, which made Bai Shu a little overwhelmed.
As soon as he took the piece of duck skin in his mouth, he felt that the meringue melted in his mouth, as sweet as milk, not like meat, but more like dessert, and the taste was different from what he had imagined.
"Is it delicious?" Xie Huaiyu asked with a smile when he saw that he had eaten.
"Delicious." Bai Zhu nodded, it was quite delicious.
Xie Huaiyu was very happy to see him, and fed him another piece.Then he picked up a thin piece of dough, put a piece of duck skin, some shredded green onion and other ingredients into it and wrapped it up.
"You try this again."
Bai Shu ate a mouthful with his hands, and the mouthful was full of flavor, fat but not greasy.
"It's delicious." He couldn't help but praise.
Xie Huaiyu said casually: "This is Laifulou's signature, a dish costs 30 taels of silver. Every day there are many people from other places who come here to eat."
"It's so unique, it's no wonder that it can keep guests." Bai Shu said full of praise.
"There have also been many people who wanted to grab business and dig cooks." Xie Huaiyu smiled and said, "It's just that I give the best treatment to cooks. And the ducks are also self-raised in the farms on the outskirts of Beijing. That's it." If the cook is taken away, the taste will be different, so it can stand still, and you should take care of it when you run the business in the future."
Xie Huaiyu was telling Baishu the secret, and Baishu nodded very seriously when he heard the words, then wrapped a crispy duck and handed it to Xie Huaiyu, winking and mischievously said: "Master taught this disciple so It’s a lot, it’s really hard work, eat a duck’s neck and take a break to replenish your body.”
Xie Huaiyu was startled, but laughed loudly, grabbed Bai Zhu's wrist, ate the crispy duck in one bite, then tapped the tip of Bai Zhu's nose and said, "Don't mess with me, or I will kill you in this wing now." done."
"Then you're going to do it now?" Bai Shu became excited for a moment, and said expectantly.
Xie Huaiyu: "..." Next time, I'd better just think about such coquettish words in my stomach.
When the two of them returned to Xie's house, Wushi had passed.
At this point, Xie Ling couldn't go to Xie Huaiyu to say something, so he had to fall asleep.
After a few more days like this, Xie Huaiyu introduced Jingzhong and Baishu one by one, and Baishu said to Xie Huaiyu: "If you have something to do, go and do it yourself. You don't have to accompany me every day, I have something to do too. to do."
Xie Huaiyu smiled, she had indeed pressed a lot of things and didn't do them.But with Bai Shu every day, the life is too happy, so I don't want to do it anymore.
But since Bai Shu noticed it, he also talked to Bai Shu and went to deal with his own affairs.
As a result, only Bai Zhu was left at home.
Xie Huaiyu allocated some manpower to Baishu, but they were not fully in place, so he was not in a hurry to go to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing immediately.
Bai Shu was alone at home on the first day, so he changed into light clothes and wanted to visit some shops in Beijing.
Before he went out, guests came to the yard.Bai Shu saw that it was Lin Shuyu who had come.
Speaking of this, Lin Shuyu is also a wonderful person.
When Xie Huaiyu was around, he hid far away and didn't show his face.
As soon as Xie Huaiyu left, he came out immediately, showing an affectionate look to Bai Shu, which made Bai Shu not used to it.
Lin Shuyu hugged the child, and sat in the Baishu room for a while, chatting homely from left to right.
They were all interesting stories about various families in Beijing, Bai Shu didn't really want to hear it, but he was attracted by him and listened for a while.
After a while, the child in Lin Shuyu's hands started crying.
Bai Shu thought that he should go back now, but Lin Shuyu said, "Sister-in-law, can I borrow your room for a while, so I can feed the child something."
Immediately, Bai Shu felt that Lin Shuyu was so ignorant, and it showed on his face.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his expression changed, Lin Shuyu was startled, and immediately knelt down towards him with the child in his arms.
When Lin Shuyu chatted with him, there was no servant in the house.His actions would not be seen by others, but Bai Shu was still taken aback.
"What are you doing?" Bai Shu frowned, trying to help him up.
But Lin Shuyu said word by word: "Brother Bai, I'm sorry! I know you are tired of me. When I was in Baitang Village, I didn't know what to do and caused troubles. But I also had no way out, that's why I did this."
"I am now in Xie's family. Although I am a concubine on the surface, I have no foundation in reality. Xie Qi has hatred for me, and I have to rely on Mr. Xie and you to live." Lin Shuyu said With tears in his eyes, he said: "Now I know that I have repented, and I only want my child to be well. But in this Xie family, I am an insignificant person, and I have no one to talk to. But please forgive me for my previous mistakes." , don’t argue with me.”
What Lin Shuyu said was sincere.He wanted to curry favor with Bai Zhu, and he was especially afraid that he would hate him.
On the other hand, in this Xie family, his status is subtle, and it is true that no one would talk to him, so when Bai Shu came, he would take the initiative to come over and talk to him, which was a bit long-winded.
Seeing Lin Shuyu like this, Bai Shu felt a little soft-hearted, so he didn't dislike him so much.
He is not that small-minded, since Lin Shuyu has no malicious intentions, he will not take the past matters to heart.
"Get up, don't kneel." Bai Shu said and pulled Lin Shuyu up and said, "I have something to go out, but you keep pulling me to talk. I'm a little impatient, but it's not against you."
When Bai Shu said this, Lin Shuyu was stunned for a moment, thinking about Bai Shu's temperament, he knew that he might be wrong.Then he blushed and said, "I'm narrow-minded. I judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Brother Bai, you have a broad personality."
"You are locked at home like this all day, so naturally you only have things in the yard in your eyes." Bai Shu said: "If you have nothing to do, go out and walk around more, find something to do, then you won't have time to think about it."
"But now I..." Lin Shuyu paused and said, "How can I walk around with my status?"
"Why can't you walk around?" Bai Shu glanced at him, "You have good hands and feet, and no one restricts you from going out. Is there anything you can't do? Even if you don't go out, don't you have nothing to do at home? Before I come, is it possible? Do you spend your time looking at the sun?"
Lin Shuyu choked, thought for a while and said, "When I have nothing to do, I write in my notebook, but I can't do anything if I write it myself."
Hearing about writing a notebook, Bai Shu raised an eyebrow, a little interested.
After he came to Daxuan, he was busy every day. The only books he read were those given by Qin Miaomiao.
Therefore, I feel that this Daxuan's notebook is probably of that style.
Didn't expect that Lin Shuyu could write a notebook?Bai Shu is very interested!Then he said to Lin Shuyu, "I wrote something, take me to have a look."
Lin Shuyu's face turned hot when he heard the words, and Bai Shu wanted to read the nonsense he had written, which made him really embarrassed.
But he was a little surprised, he didn't expect Bai Shu to be able to read and write.
Even in Beijing, there are not many people who teach my brother to read and write. He can do business and can read, so it's no wonder that Xie Huaiyu fell in love with him.
Lin Shuyu took Bai Shu to her room, and handed him the notebooks that she scribbled on a daily basis.
When Bai Shu met, he realized that he had misunderstood.
It turned out that the books Lin Shuyu was talking about were not the ones she had read, but short stories.
Lin Shuyu is a wit, and she is very beautiful in lower script.
Bai Shu saw that the story he wrote was probably based on his own life experience as a model, and it was not limited to love and love with talented scholars and beautiful women, but the writing was also full of ups and downs.
Unexpectedly, Lin Shuyu had such abilities, and Bai Shu looked at him differently.
Lin Shuyu saw that Bai Shu had been flipping through the book with his hands, but he didn't speak. He was also nervous, fearing that something written in the book would make Bai Shu unhappy, so he quickly said: "It's not well written, but it's nothing There is nothing to do.”
"No, it's very well written." Bai Shu said, turned to the last page, and put down the book: "It's just that the protagonist has drifted with the tide and depended on others all his life. It's a pity that his talents and learning were wasted. If he is self-reliant and self-reliant, use It is not difficult to support yourself and your children by improving your talents and learning."
"But...but he is a brother after all..." Lin Shuyu said after hearing the words.
Bai Shu laughed when he heard this, and said to him: "You also went to Baitang Village before. There is a brother there. He looks mediocre and has never studied for a day. His parents married a poor boy randomly. That brother After his son got married, he was beaten every day, and after he gave birth to a brother, he was beaten even more severely. Once, he offended the husband, and he and the child were almost beaten to death by that man. Guess what happened later What's wrong?"
Lin Shuyu was startled for a long time before shaking her head and saying, "I don't know..."
What can a brother like this do, marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, he has probably been beaten to death.
But Bai Shu went on to say: "Later he took the child and left that house, trying to make peace with that man. I hired him to work for me, he went to learn reading and arithmetic, and married a good man who loved him. Now He has become a steward, taking care of Baiyu Villa for me. The monthly silver is as much as the chief steward of the Xie family."
Lin Shuyu didn't know anything about Chen Dongqing because she didn't go out at the gate of Xie's house. Now when she heard Bai Shu talking about it, it was like listening to a scripture. She only felt admiration and envy for that brother.
He suddenly remembered that one night, he saw Bai Shu carrying a child to Xie's house, followed by a brother.
Xie Huaiyu also followed out that night and did not return all night...
Lin Shuyu guessed in his heart that the brother Bai Shu was talking about might be the one he saw that night.
And he also had some different feelings towards Bai Shu himself. Although the other party didn't say anything in detail, he must have helped that brother a lot.That brother was able to reconcile with his ex-husband smoothly, probably because of his and Xie Huaiyu's handwriting.
This guy is a really kind person...
"That brother originally had nothing, but he was able to do this. With your talent, it is a pity that you are only locked in this courtyard all day." Bai Shu said: "Your handwriting is so good, I don't know how much you have practiced. Cold and hot, the stories in this book are also beautifully written, but I hope the ending can be broader."
After Bai Shu finished speaking, she stood up. Lin Shuyu was so affirmed for the first time, but she was still a little sluggish, as if she hadn't reacted.
In the past, he practiced calligraphy every day regardless of his hard work, just to be able to marry better, but once his family was destroyed, he had to become a lowly one.
Now, by accident, he has regained his good status and gained the status of concubine of the Xie family.But after entering Xie's mansion, he felt that every day was empty, and he didn't need to go to any banquet to show his skills, so it was useless to learn this word.
Bai Shu's words made Lin Shuyu feel very ashamed. Compared with that country boy, he has much better conditions, but the other party did all the things he dared not do.
But he can only spend his days in this mansion...
"You continue to write. After finishing this book, you can find a bookstore outside to see if it can be printed as a booklet." Bai Shu said.
He remembered Qin Miaomiao's notebook he got, which was also printed in ink, as well as Xie Huaiyu's copybooks and stereotyped essays, many of which were also printed in ink.
This kind of thing can be printed, and the stories written by Lin Shuyu should also be printed. If it is sold, it is also a good business.
Bai Shu has a flexible mind and thinks quickly, especially since he has done a lot of business, he is also sensitive to these things that can make money.
Lin Shuyu couldn't believe it when he heard it. As a brother, how can such things written by him still come out of the script?
He didn't dare to think about it at all, but after hearing Bai Shu's words, he looked forward to it, and felt very moved, his heart was pounding, and a wave of warmth gushed out of his nostrils.
Everyone wants to be affirmed. Baishu's good writing of Lin Shuyu's story is more exciting than being praised for his beauty, figure, and talent.
After Bai Shu left, Lin Shuyu came back to his senses, the wind blew through the window and hit his face, Lin Shuyu realized that his face was actually cold.
He touched it with his hand, and at some point, he had burst into tears.
