Chapter 107 The Golden Hairpin Given by Zhao Zhan
Gu Wanyun followed Lu'er's hand and looked outside. She saw several rows of green bamboo tubes on the stall over there. A young girl was opening a bamboo tube, inserting a bamboo stick, taking it out, sticking sugar on it, and giving it to a child.
She was a little embarrassed for a moment: "Lu'er, be good, we won't eat it for now. I will find a way to buy it for you later."
"No, I don't want it. Lu'er wants to eat the bamboo rice."
Gu Wanyun had no money on her.
What's more, with the escort around, how could they dare to go buy things?
The eldest daughter of the Lin family was fine, as she was in the carriage and no one could see her. But looking at those people walking on the street, they had already started pointing at them.
Lin Zhiyi said, "Wait, Lu'er. Auntie will go buy it for you."
Lin Lu, who was originally aggrieved, smiled and her eyes lit up when she heard this, "Aunt is still the best."
Lu'er is cute, sweet-mouthed and likes to act coquettishly. She doesn't guard the food and always shares it with everyone.
Lin Zhiyi actually likes this niece very much and is willing to spoil her.
Lin Zhiyi asked Dalin to slow down the carriage a little, and she jumped off the carriage.
She wasn't among the exiles, so the escorts naturally ignored her. She asked the girl selling bamboo rice and learned that it was Qingjing Rice, a recipe passed down from Nanzhao. They soaked glutinous rice in the juice of Nanzhu leaves, steamed it, and put it in bamboo tubes. They said it could improve qi and eyesight, and they charged five coins per serving.
What makes it expensive is the brown sugar added at the end.
But this Qingjing rice is made into bamboo tube rice dumplings, which is convenient to eat with your hands.
She calculated that there were nine people in the Lin family's main branch, two from the deposed prince's side, three from the fourth branch, including Aunt Xue and her two children. Lin Zhiyi bought a total of sixteen servings of Qingjing rice.
Seeing Lin Zhiyi buy so much at once, the girl immediately put on a smile and said hurriedly, "Wait a moment, young lady."
She took out the green rice, sprinkled it with brown sugar and wrapped it in oil paper. Lin Zhiyi took out eighty coins and gave them to the girl.
She first gave a portion to each person in the Lin family's eldest wife, and also gave a portion to Aunt Xue and her son and the fourth wife, and finally sent it to Li Wenjing.
"Brother, this is Qingjing Rice..."
"Give it to me."
Before Lin Zhiyi could finish speaking, Lin Xiuran took over.
Lin Zhiyi originally wanted to take this opportunity to get on the carriage and say a few words to Li Wenjing.
In the end, he handed over the Qingjing rice.
She glanced at the carriage and left.
Since the provincial and county seats are in the same city, arriving in Fangzhou City is equivalent to arriving in Fangling County City. It is already late to enter the city today, so the escorts decided to send the fugitives to the post station first. After reporting to the government office tomorrow, their duties will be completed.
In the evening, just when Lin Zhiyi was about to take Chai Ya out for a walk to buy some buns and other snacks, Zhao Zhan arrived.
He was carrying two large food boxes in his hands.
The Lin family was surprised, "What's this, Lord Zhao?"
"Today, Zhao will treat you all to a meal. I've been eating a lot of Miss Lin's food along the way."
Zhao Zhan placed the food box on the table and walked over to Lin Zhiyi. "Miss Lin, I might have to leave for Chang'an tomorrow. Can I have a few words with you alone?"
Lin Zhi was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Wenjing.
Seeing Li Wenjing also looking at her, he turned his head away.
"good."
Because of the care she had given her along the way, she had to give her this face, even though it was just a few words.
She followed Zhao Zhan out and came to a big tree in the courtyard of the post station.
"Brother Zhao, what's the matter?"
Zhao Zhan took out a golden hairpin from his bosom and said, "I'll give it to Miss Lin. I hope Miss Lin won't dislike it."
Zhao Zhan knew that Lin Zhiyi had seen countless fine pieces of jewelry, but with his meager salary, he could only afford these ordinary gold hairpins.
Lin Zhiyi was shocked. Giving a hairpin?
Isn't it true that men in this dynasty gave hairpins to women?
"I'm sorry, Brother Zhao, this is too expensive and I can't accept it. You should find a good girl to give it to."
Lin Zhiyi turned around and ran away.
Only Zhao Zhan was left standing there in a daze.
He sighed, and was finally rejected by Miss Lin!
He looked at the gold hairpin in his hand, which he had spent a long time choosing before buying, but Miss Lin didn't even look at it.
Finally, he put the golden hairpin away.
He secretly sighed in his heart, he would not give up.
Back in the house, Lin Zhiyi pretended nothing had happened.
The food had been opened and placed on the table, and the Lin family was already waiting for her to eat.
"Zhizhi, come sit down and eat. Where's Lord Zhao? Don't you want to eat with us?"
After Mrs. Song finished speaking, Zhao Zhan followed her in. "Everyone, eat first. I still have some official business to attend to."
Seeing Zhao Zhan leave, Lin Zhiyi actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Wenjing saw her entire expression and frowned.
Li Wenjing didn't eat a single bite of the food Zhao Zhan sent, and asked Zhu Sheng to go out and buy some other food so that they could make do with it.
At night, Lin Zhiyi went out to relieve herself. When she came out of the dry toilet, she saw Li Wenjing waiting there.
"I didn't ask for anything from him."
Li Wenjing nodded, "I know."
"How do you know? Did you spy on me?"
"Zhu Sheng accidentally saw it."
"Was it an accident?"
Lin Zhiyi felt that Li Wenjing did it on purpose.
"Then I'll go back first."
When Lin Zhiyi was about to pass Li Wenjing, he was grabbed by Li Wenjing.
Lin Zhiyi turned around and asked, "Your Highness, is there anything else?"
Li Wenjing had a lot to say to Lin Zhiyi, but he opened his mouth and said, "Don't call me Your Highness anymore. I have been demoted to a commoner. Just call me Ah Jing."
A Jing?
This is a bit too intimate.
Even if she was asked to call him "A Jing" in front of everyone, she couldn't bring herself to do so.
"I see. Anything else?"
Li Wenjing let go, "No more."
His hand loosened, but Lin Zhiyi didn't move. He whispered, "I have it."
"Miss Lin, please speak."
Seeing that no one was around, Lin Zhiyi pulled Li Wenjing's clothes off his chest and kissed him lightly on the cheek, "Do you understand my feelings now?"
She said that and ran away.
Li Wenjing was stunned.
Looking at Lin Zhiyi's back, he smiled.
Then his heart sank again.
He also felt the intentional or unintentional obstruction by the Lin family in the past two days.
It seems that there will be many obstacles in the future if I want to be with Miss Lin.
As soon as Mu Yunzhao entered the backyard, he saw Li Wenjing standing in the yard.
She was delighted and ran over quickly, "Your Highness?"
Li Wenjing looked up and saw that it was Mu Yunzhao. Thinking of what Lin Zhiyi had said to him, he strode away.
"Your Highness, Zhao Zhao..."
Before he could say anything, he saw Li Wenjing had already entered the room.
Mu Yunzhao could never have imagined that despite looking for various opportunities along the way, she still failed to win the favor of the deposed prince.
Do you still want her to live a hard and mediocre life like in her previous life?
No, no!
She clenched her fists.
She could have done it originally, all because of Lin Zhiyi.
She jumped around in front of the deposed prince like a flea, but no one was able to stop her from getting close to him.
Lin Zhiyi waited for her, and one day, she would expose her in front of the deposed prince!
