Chapter 13 Lin Huo
Song Ci claimed to be ill, which gave him an excuse to find Doctor Lin. Doctor Lin stood in the house, looking at Song Ci in front of him, his brows almost knotted.
"Miss Third, I wonder what you want to do by coming to me today."
Song Ci: "I have a business to do with you."
"Miss Third, you're joking. All I know is a few basic things like observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. How can I know how to do business?"
Looking at the Song Dynasty porcelain that had changed so much after not seeing it for a few days, Doctor Lin was surprised. At the same time, he felt that the teenage girl in front of him was full of weirdness. Was she really only in her teens?
Looking back at what happened before, this scheming, decisiveness and courage are not at all like those of a teenage girl.
Song Ci narrowed her eyes and smiled innocently, "You won't, but your son will."
Doctor Lin frowned.
In her previous life, Song Ci had heard of Lin Huo's reputation as a business genius. Not only did he pass the imperial examinations, but he was also extremely perceptive about money. In her previous life, when he was at the peak of his arrogance, Song Ci was not of the same ilk as him, so naturally, they could not interact.
But at this moment, Lin Huo has not yet made a name for himself, so he can be of use.
"Miss Third, you must have misunderstood. My son Lin Huo only knows how to study, not how to do business."
"Doctor Lin, just find Lin Huo. I'll take care of everything else. Don't worry, I won't harm him. On the contrary, I'll help him. His journey to the imperial examination wasn't easy. Doctor Lin should know that it's always been difficult for students from humble backgrounds to succeed. To compete with the children of wealthy families, the first thing they need is money. As long as he's willing to help me, he'll definitely have plenty of money in the future."
Seeing Doctor Lin's doubts, Song Ci smiled and said, "Doctor Lin, are you worried? You know I have a lot of private secrets. If I do something bad to Lin Huo, aren't you afraid that you will spread the news?"
Doctor Lin looked at Song Ci steadily, and after a while he uttered a word, "Okay."
Doctor Lin left. Wanxiang looked at his hurried back suspiciously, "Miss, how did you know that Doctor Lin's family was short of money and that they had a student named Lin Huo?"
Song Dynasty Porcelain: .....How to explain?
"Don't you know this information by just asking around? You're just stupid!"
Wanxiang was so embarrassed by this that she began to doubt herself. Could it be that she was really too out of touch with the news? This wouldn't do! She was the young lady's maid!
Two days later, Doctor Lin and Lin Huo arrived as promised.
As I walked through the door of the third room, I saw a blue figure lying quietly on a rocking chair in the yard, holding a fan in his hand and waving it intermittently.
Her flawless, fair skin seemed to be surrounded by a faint golden halo in the afternoon sun. From this angle, one could even see the hair on the girl's face. Her long, thick eyelashes drooped under her eyes, and her brows were slightly furrowed. When she heard the sound, her bright eyes, full of spirit, looked over.
Lin Huo looked at Miss Song San in front of him, tightened his hands in his sleeves, and stepped forward to bow.
"Third Miss."
"sit."
Song Ci pointed to the stool beside him and made a gesture of invitation.
Lin Huo frowned and sat down immediately.
Doctor Lin was standing not far away, seemingly unconcerned, but his eyes were constantly looking in this direction.
"It seems that Doctor Lin is not very reassured."
"My father is a worrier." Lin Huo said lightly.
"Mr. Lin, let me be frank. I want to do business with you."
Lin Huo looked at the girl in front of him with sharp eyes, "Miss Third, it seems like this is the first time we meet. Then why did you find me?"
"I can't explain it. I just know you're short of money, so why not help me make some money?"
As they got closer, Song Ci discovered that Lin Huo was not the weak scholar he had imagined. He did not feel the thin long gown on his body, and the part of his arm exposed from under the wide cuffs had slightly protruding veins and smooth arm lines, which was obviously not something that a person who had been studying for years and lacked exercise could have.
Noticing her gaze, Lin Huo retracted his arms, and his dark eyes stared at Song Ci without blinking.
The two looked at each other for a long moment. Lin Huo lowered his eyes slightly and said stiffly, "What does the Third Miss plan to do?"
Song Ci was satisfied with his attitude and clapped his hands. Wanxiang walked out with a stack of papers.
Song Ci took it and personally handed the stack of papers to Lin Huo. "Everything I need to do is written down here. The banknotes are also here. I believe that with your intelligence, you will not need me to explain in detail how to proceed."
Looking at the two eye-catching 1,000-tael silver notes sandwiched between them, Lin Huo raised his eyebrows and lost his composure. "Do you really trust me this much?"
Two thousand taels of silver is not a small amount.
"Mr. Lin is not stupid, so he won't do stupid things. I have some confidence in this." Song Ci smiled and shook her head. The little pearl beside her ear swayed.
As he got closer, Lin Huo could vaguely smell the pleasant sweet scent of osmanthus coming from the girl in front of him. It was not too sweet, but just right.
He raised his hand, and with his slender, white jade-like fingers, he quickly took the thing from her hand, then stood up and said goodbye.
"Miss San, wait for my news."
After everyone left, the master and servant returned to the bedroom together. As soon as they stepped in, Song Ci paused. Facing Wanxiang's puzzled expression, he frowned and said in an unhappy voice, "Someone has been here."
Wanxiang looked around but didn't see any traces.
"From what I've seen, there's nothing changed in the room."
"My jade vase used to be placed right in the center, perfectly balanced. But today it's tilted an inch to the left. The box on the table is tilted a bit to the right."
When Wanxiang saw it, she was furious. "It must be that traitor Wanxia. I'll go talk to her right away."
"No."
Song Ci walked to the table, placed the vase in place, and straightened the wooden box.
"Miss, are you just going to let it go? She's so rude, and you're still indulging her!"
The more Wanxiang thought about it, the angrier she became. The young lady and the lady were just too kind-hearted, which was why they were bullied by Wanxia, who was a dirty trickster and a slave who bullied her master.
As she said this, she felt a little frustrated. Could it be that the young lady had finally changed her temper, but now she was going to return to her old self?
Seeing that she was unhappy, Song Ci walked over to the bed and sat down, pursing her lips and said, "The things are not lost. Since we can't hit them in one shot, don't alert the enemy."
She made a fuss, but Wanxia denied it. There was no evidence, and even though the eldest wife spoke up for her, they still couldn't do anything to her.
"That's true, young lady. But are you just going to indulge this wicked slave?"
"Of course not. I have a plan. Come over here."
The master and servant murmured for a while, and Wanxiang's eyes became brighter. "Miss, your idea is really good. I know what to do."
These days, Song Laosan has been at home with his wife and daughter, and he is very happy.
