Chapter 239 Visiting
The nurse heard the noise coming from Lin Dongjia's family below the pavilion and immediately came up: "Miss, please be careful."
Mr. Lin waved his hand and sat down again.
She picked up a cup on the table, rubbed the pattern on it, and suddenly smiled: "Since someone wants those drawings, let them know their value."
Ye Mingzhu was a little confused: "What do you mean, sister?"
Lin Dongjia raised his eyebrows and chuckled, looking confident. "Isn't there a legend that there are treasures hidden in the house you sold? Let's say you found some blueprints in that house, and thieves stole them last night."
"This move will divert the attention of others. I will also lend you some guards. If that person dares to come again, we can catch him."
Ye Mingzhu almost laughed out loud. Mr. Lin's trick was useless to others, but it was very useful to the young master in brocade robe. They would definitely come again.
"Don't just smile, just say it's okay?" Mr. Lin pushed Ye Mingzhu.
"Okay, that's great, sister, this is a great idea." Ye Mingzhu manually gave Lin Dongjia a thumbs up and asked who would spread the news.
Lin Dongjia waved his hand: "It's just a small matter, don't worry about it."
"What if the thieves don't come?" Ye Mingzhu was somewhat worried.
"You don't know how famous the treasures in your house are," Lin Dongjia shook his head. "I'm not afraid that the thief won't come, I'm just afraid that someone else will come. I have to think of a way to catch the thief."
Ye Mingzhu was afraid that Lin Dongjia would be tired, but Lin Dongjia smiled and said, "I just asked others to do it, so I won't be tired. During this period, the nanny didn't let me do anything. Don't compete with me for this matter. I promise to catch the thief for you.
Although Lin Dongjia is from another place, she has been in Pinggu Town for several years and has her own connections. She can easily do small things like spreading information.
"Then I'll trouble you, sister." Ye Mingzhu felt a little embarrassed, after all, Mrs. Lin was pregnant.
"You call me sister, why are you still so polite? If you feel embarrassed, just draw a few more pictures so that I can earn more money." Lin Dongjia looked like a money-grubber.
Ye Mingzhu was amused by her: "Okay, I will go home and draw pictures now, and I promise not to delay my sister from making money."
"That's more like it." Mr. Lin deliberately frowned.
Mr. Lin didn't tell Ye Mingzhu too many details, just asked her to wake up a little more during her sleep these days. He also called the housekeeper and asked him to arrange for people to patrol the adjacent walls of the two houses more often during the next few nights.
Ye Mingzhu thanked Lin Dongjia again. Lin Dongjia quietly glanced at the wet nurse under the pavilion and whispered, "Mingzhu, when you go back, ask Aunt Jiang for some pickled vegetables. I ate the pickled vegetables she made last time and they were especially delicious."
"But the nanny won't let me eat too much, ah." Lin Dongjia sighed: "If only Hongdou was here, I like eating chicken noodles made with red beans."
"Auntie Mo asked me to tell you that Hongdou and Ziye are doing very well in the shop. Hongdou is talented and Ziye is hardworking. I believe they will be able to become apprentices soon." Ye Mingzhu told what she knew.
"I knew they could do it. Wait a moment and say what you just said again."
Lin Dongjia called out to the wet nurse, frightening her so much that she quickly walked up to the pavilion: "What's wrong, young lady?"
The wet nurse pulled Lin Dongjia up and down and looked him up and down.
"Nanny, I'm fine." Lin Dongjia waved his hand and asked the nanny to turn to Ye Mingzhu, "Mingzhu, tell the nanny again."
Ye Mingzhu understood and repeated what she had just said about being hungry. Joy and pride flashed in the wet nurse's eyes.
"When Hongdou comes back, ask her to kowtow to the young lady. Without the young lady, how can she learn the craft?" The wet nurse was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Lin Dongjia.
"Nanny, I've already told you not to kneel to me anymore." Lin Dongjia's eyes were filled with helplessness. "Hongdou is also my sister. Of course I have to consider her."
The nurse bowed to Ye Mingzhu again and said, "Thank you, Madam Jiang."
Ye Mingzhu dodged: "Nanny, you are too polite."
After finishing speaking, Ye Mingzhu left without sitting for long.
Soon, news spread in Pinggu Town that the blueprints obtained from the house on the other side of the alley had been stolen.
The young master in brocade robes held the papers, his brows furrowed like earthworms. "Could these pictures be treasure maps?"
The arrogant servant stood aside and watched for a long time without understanding.
"Young Master, apart from some enlightenment books, only these drawings are suspicious, and they are placed in the drawer." The man in black standing beside the desk replied.
The young master in brocade robe looked at the pictures for a long time, but he always felt that they did not look like treasure maps.
"You said there were other blueprints in her drawer?"
"Yes, I only took the following few. I will go again tonight to get the rest of the drawings." The man in black lowered his head, his voice a little buzzing.
The young master in brocade robes remained silent, his eyes fixed on the blueprints. After a long while, he said, "You've already alerted the enemy. Don't go any further. I'll go find my cousin to get some information."
He waved his hand to let the man in black go away, and asked the arrogant servant to change his clothes and go to Lin Dong's house.
When the arrogant servant knocked on the door, he squinted at the house next to him and said, "Is this the house next to it that the woman bought?"
"Yes, sir, it's right here." The arrogant servant nodded.
The young master in brocade robe wanted to say something, but the door of Lin's house opened. He swallowed what he wanted to say and entered the house.
"Cousin, how have you been recently? I brought you some supplements." The young master in brocade robe asked the arrogant servant to put the things he brought on the table with a smile on his face.
Lin Dongjia looked at the things on the table and raised his eyebrows: "It seems that this town is really nice. My cousin is reluctant to leave."
The young master in brocade robes had an expression on his face: "Cousin, isn't this also reluctant to leave? Speaking of which, I have to thank my cousin. If it weren't for my cousin, I wouldn't be able to buy that little house."
Lin Dongjia raised her eyebrows and smiled. She didn't expect that her cousin was so impatient. He came after only one day.
"Oh, what's wrong with the small house?" Lin Dongjia's face was full of confusion.
The young master in brocade robes couldn't tell anything from Lin Dongjia's face, so he moved closer to her and said, "Cousin, you are one of us. I will tell you a secret."
"oh?"
"I heard there's a treasure in that little house, and now there's a treasure map. What do you say? If we find the treasure, how about we split it in two?"
Boss Lin looked at the young master in brocade robe as if he were a fool. Would he be so kind as to find a treasure and split it in two?
The young master in brocade robe looked at Mr. Lin eagerly. Mr. Lin lowered his head at the right time, afraid that he could not control the expression on his face.
"How is it? Cousin, such a good opportunity is rare."
"I'm not interested in treasures," Mr. Lin laughed. "The profits from my dowry shop are enough for me to spend. I won't get involved in this."
The young master in brocade robes looked at Lin Dongjia suspiciously: "Cousin, do you know something?"
