Chapter 51 Who is she?
"Ha ha!"
Suddenly, the man laughed out loud. He looked at Lin Xiaoyue and asked, "Where do you think we've met before?"
When Lin Xiaoyue was about to call out Liang Jingyao's name, Cheng Feng's warning and threat in her mind pulled her back. She shook her head and said, "I just don't know, so I'm wondering. But, since you trust me so much, I will definitely do my best. I believe that one day, the hundreds of thousands of taels in my hand will become millions, tens of millions of taels!"
When the man saw Lin Xiaoyue's smile, he smiled knowingly, "Okay, I look forward to that day!"
Along the way, Lin Xiaoyue discovered that the owner of Jueweilou was really powerful. No matter whether he was leaving the capital or entering Yangming Town, he only had to take out the token and the guards guarding the city gate would open the door and let him go without even asking any questions.
To work with such a powerful person, she has to be extremely alert!
At the gate of Yangming Town, Lin Xiaoyue did not let the owner of Jueweilou see her off. Firstly, she was in a hurry to leave and did not want to say too many polite words. Secondly, the coffin shop in Yangming Town was nearby. If the owner of Jueweilou saw her leaving, she would have to walk around for a long time. If she encountered the night patrol, she might even be whipped.
So she quickly opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, bowing to the carriage and saying, "Thank you, Master. I'll be leaving now!"
The man behind the curtain didn't stick his head out. I only heard him say, "Goodbye, girl!"
The carriage turned around and started running away with a "thump thump" sound.
Watching the carriage disappear into the gate, Lin Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief. When she left the coffin shop before, she said that she would go back tonight, so when she walked into the coffin shop, there was a waiter guarding there.
She took out an oil-paper bag from her sleeve. It was a meat bun that she had heated up before going out and had placed in the space, so it was still warm in her hand.
"Little brother, please hold the door open for me. This is a little midnight snack. Warm up your stomach and go to bed early!"
The waiter smelled the smell of meat and was in a good mood. He said with a smile: "Miss, you don't have to be polite. We are all working for the master. It's our duty."
"Thank you!" After saying goodbye to the waiter, Lin Xiaoyue quickly passed through the secret passage inside, then turned on the space function and quickly returned to her room. Because it was too quiet at night, no matter how careful she was when opening and closing the door, there would be noise coming out, so she used the space function and went in without opening the door.
A lot of things happened that night, and Lin Xiaoyue could be said to have gained a lot. She lay in bed contentedly, but before she could savor the moment, she felt sleepy.
The next day, Lin Xiaoyue relied on her willpower to get up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, combed her hair into a simple bun, changed into a clean set of clothes, and went out to prepare breakfast.
At this time, Liang Jingyao had already moved the dried radish to the yard. He saw Lin Xiaoyue stretching out and greeted her with a smile, "Are you up? If you didn't get enough sleep, you can sleep a little longer. Building a house is our job as men. You just need to cook lunch and dinner."
Lin Xiaoyue washed her face, straightened up and said, "That won't do! Brother Liang hasn't had breakfast yet, right? I'll go steam the meat buns and make some porridge."
Liang Jingyao glanced at the shallow water tank, picked up two buckets and prepared to go out. "Okay! I'll go to the lake to fetch some water. There's not much water in the yard. I need to cook and boil water today, so I'll fill it up for you first!"
Lin Xiaoyue asked curiously, "Brother Liang, didn't you say your subordinate Zhan Ying was coming? Just let him do these things."
"It's okay. It will take you some time to make breakfast anyway, and I have nothing to do right now." With that, Liang Jingyao walked out of the bamboo courtyard carrying his load.
Lin Xiaoyue had never seen a master who loved to work so hard. Isn't the master the big boss? In modern times, there is no big boss who steals work from his subordinates like this, otherwise there would not be the term "996"!
Watching Liang Jingyao gradually walk away, Lin Xiaoyue returned to the kitchen and started to get busy. After heating the buns and porridge in the big pot, she took some burning firewood and put it into the small stove, then carried it to the yard to boil water.
It started to get cold in late autumn, and Lin Xiaoyue planned to make a pot of ginger and jujube tea to drive away the cold and dampness. She filled a pot of water and placed it on the small stove, then turned back to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for the ginger and jujube tea.
Because there was no brown sugar in the kitchen, she took out two pieces from her own space, which she also brought from the palace. Then she cut a lot of ginger and washed a handful of red dates and put them in a small bowl.
At this time, the porridge in the big pot was already boiling, and the aroma of meat wafted out of the other big pot. She turned off the stove and walked outside with the prepared ingredients.
After a while, the water began to boil. She added shredded ginger, red dates, and brown sugar to the pot, covered it, and waited for the water to boil again. The process was quite fast. Lin Xiaoyue stood by for a while and saw the lid start to shake. She squatted down, removed some firewood, and began to simmer over low heat.
At this time, Liang Jingyao also returned to the yard with water. After he poured two buckets of water into the water tank, he came over, smelling the sweet fragrance, and asked, "What are you cooking here?"
Lin Xiaoyue poured a bowl of porridge, placed a meat bun on top of the bowl, and handed it to Liang Jingyao. "Ginger and jujube tea can dispel cold and dampness. By the way, do you have a kettle here?"
Liang Jingyao lowered his head and took a bite of the bun. The gravy inside flowed into the porridge, and a little oil appeared on the surface of the watery soup. "Yes, it's at the bottom of the kitchen cabinet. I'm used to drinking cold water, so I didn't take it out. It's very dirty down there. I'll get it for you later. You should eat breakfast quickly. You're so thin, you should eat more meat buns!"
"Okay! Brother Liang, please watch over the stove." Lin Xiaoyue felt her stomach starting to protest, so she went back to the kitchen and ate a big bun, then filled a bowl of porridge and started drinking it.
"Brother Jing, I'm here to see you!"
Suddenly, a delicate voice came from outside. Lin Xiaoyue almost spit out the porridge in her mouth. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and planned to go out to see who was coming.
Almost at the same time, the woman in the yard also saw Lin Xiaoyue standing at the kitchen door. A sense of inexplicable jealousy arose. The woman took Liang Jingyao's left hand and began to swear her sovereignty, "Brother Jing, who is she? Is she your personal maid? Oh, I was in such a hurry to come out that I didn't even bring a maid with me! I'll be staying here for the next few days. Can you give her to me?"
Liang Jingyao decisively pulled his left hand out and refused, "Master Lin is not my maid, she is a guest living here! Jingyi, don't you dislike this place? You didn't want to come here before, why are you here today?"
The woman glanced at the Master Lin that Liang Jingyao mentioned. It turned out that this was the bad woman that Cheng Feng mentioned!
Humph, a man and a woman alone, does this woman really think that others don’t know what she is planning?
She leaned against Liang Jingyao softly and said timidly, "Brother Jing, you asked Uncle Liang to bring 128 pallets of betrothal gifts to my house. How can I let you live here alone?"
