Chapter 112 Encouraging Chen Yunyun
Lin Xiaoyue thought for a moment, turned to the first page of the story she had written out, and placed it in Chen Yunyun's hand. "Just hold the book. If you can't speak, take a look. If you can, put the book away. You won't be nervous after repeating it a few times. I believe you can overcome your nervousness!"
Chen Yunyun asked in confusion, "Really? What if I do the same thing on stage? Wouldn't that ruin your place?"
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and patted the back of her hand, comforting her: "It's okay. Just tell me when the time comes, and I'll help you out. Don't be afraid!"
Chen Yunyun was a little skeptical. How could he make up for what he said if it was wrong?
"Sister Lin, I know you're trying to cheer me up. Forget it, I'll just practice according to your method first! If I back down and go home now, not only will my parents look down on me, I'll also look down on myself!"
Lin Xiaoyue felt that Chen Yunyun was putting too much pressure on herself, so she stopped reciting the story and stood up and said, "Yunyun, I'll practice with you. Once you get through the first level, I'll continue."
Chen Yunyun was touched, but she still had to walk her own path. She bit her lip, shook her head, and said, "No, Sister Lin, you've already helped me a lot. I have to speak my mind. Just go ahead and do your thing."
Seeing Chen Yunyun's persistence, Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Okay, let me know if you need me."
Chen Yunyun nodded and said, "Well, hurry up and write. Don't delay your work."
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and continued writing her story at her desk.
Chen Yunyun took a deep breath, picked up the storybook and began to read aloud. At the beginning, she was timid and her voice was very soft. Every time she finished a sentence, she would secretly look at Lin Xiaoyue. Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue did not frown, she would read the next sentence with confidence. Later, she gradually became bolder and her reading voice became much louder. Occasionally, she would even put down the book and say a few words.
After Lin Xiaoyue finished reciting two stories, she put down her pen and clapped her hands, saying, "Yunyun, you did a great job! You see, once you practice courage, you become much more fluent! Maybe tomorrow you'll be able to tell most of the story right away."
Chen Yunyun feels that she is at a disadvantage for not having attended school, but she has finally taken the first step. She hopes that things will get better and better in the future!
"Well, I'll practice when I'm free! I won't let Sister Lin down!"
At this time, Liang Jingyao had already finished practicing sword skills. The kitchen asked him several times when breakfast would be served, but he didn't want to disturb Lin Xiaoyue and the others, so he kept the kitchen warm.
Now, when he saw Lin Xiaoyue stop writing in the study, stand up and chat with Chen Yunyun with a smile on her face, he knew that the two girls had finished their work. So he walked in and asked, "Breakfast is ready. You must be hungry, right? Come and eat!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and took Chen Yunyun to the main room for breakfast.
Liang Jingyao knew that Lin Xiaoyue was going to take Chen Yunyun to the street to buy clothes after dinner, so he told Lin Xiaoyue about the restaurant while they were eating because he was about to go out.
"Yue'er, the tableware for the restaurant will be delivered today. I've asked them to provide the designs for the large items like tables, chairs, and benches, and they'll also be delivered today. You can choose whatever you like. I have to go out today and will be back in two or three days. I'll have to trouble you here for a few days!"
Lin Xiaoyue felt strange. She had never heard Liang Jingyao mention that he had to go out for something before. Could it be an emergency?
"Brother Liang, where are you going? Bring a few more people with you!"
Liang Jingyao shook his head and said, "Two of me are enough. The teahouse and the restaurant across the street need someone to watch over the renovations. I'm leaving this time because Gu Mian is able to get out of bed. I want to send him back to the capital first, and then go to see the princess. Because the rest of my people will be arriving soon, I plan to send half of them to the capital to protect the princess and the Gu family. But I must tell the princess about these things in person."
Lin Xiaoyue knew the importance of these matters. If she used a carrier pigeon to deliver the message, and it was hijacked halfway, it would implicate the eldest princess and the Gu family!
"Then go ahead and give my regards to the Princess. Also, if you have a hundred people suddenly entering the city, it will be very obvious. I think you could have some of them disguised as beggars, some as merchants going to the capital to do business, some as students going to the capital to prepare for next year's Spring Examination, and some as relatives visiting the city. Try to spread everyone out as much as possible so as not to arouse Emperor Liang's suspicion."
Liang Jingyao felt that Lin Xiaoyue's idea was really great. He was worried about this matter so he wanted to go to Beijing to discuss it with the eldest princess. The eldest princess still had a lot of influence in the capital, but she was now constrained everywhere. There were also many spies of Emperor Liang in the eldest princess's mansion. The eldest princess would be under great pressure to let a hundred people go to Beijing.
But if we follow Lin Xiaoyue's method and let a group of people enter the capital first, and then the eldest princess and the Gu family send some people into the capital separately, it will be easy. Even if Emperor Liang is more involved, he will not pay attention to the entry and exit of so many people.
Liang Jingyao quickly filled his stomach, stood up and said goodbye, "Okay! I'll tell the princess what you said. I'll be leaving first. You have to protect yourself here!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine!"
Not long after Liang Jingyao left, Lin Xiaoyue and Chen Yunyun finished their breakfast and got on a carriage to go to the clothing store.
In the carriage, Chen Yunyun saw that she and Lin Xiaoyue were alone. She asked quietly, "Sister Lin, I just heard you guys talking about Emperor Liang and the eldest princess. Is Brother Liang going to do something big?"
Lin Xiaoyue had already made preparations when she invited Chen Yunyun to the teahouse to tell stories. After all, with so many people and so many things going on, it would be difficult for Liang Jingyao to avoid Chen Yunyun and talk to him all the time, which would make Chen Yunyun feel alienated.
She held Chen Yunyun's hand and said, "Yunyun, you can only ask me one person today. In the future, no matter who asks you about Brother Liang, you must firmly say you don't know. This is for your own safety. As for Brother Liang, remember, he runs a big business. He not only opened a restaurant in the capital, but also opened branches in other parts of Dongsui Country. After the restaurant in Yangming Town opens, his next goal is to become the largest bookstore in Dongsui Country. He is busy with this project now."
Chen Yunyun felt that what Sister Lin said was true, but it seemed that she did not tell her the whole story. However, Sister Lin said that it was all for her own safety, so she decided to listen to Sister Lin!
No matter what, from the first day she met Sister Lin, Sister Lin has never harmed her and has always helped her and her family. As long as she knows that Sister Lin is a good person, that's enough!
So, Chen Yunyun silently memorized it in his mind and said with a smile, "Well, Brother Liang is the boss. How can a clerk like me know so much about the boss's affairs? Isn't that insubordination?"
Lin Xiaoyue gave a thumbs up and praised: "Well said!"
