Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

But Ling Ling really has some skills.

After Suizhou experienced a hurricane, many houses were destroyed, and it would take some time to rebuild, so Shen Xuhuai temporarily resettled the people in the yamen, and Ling Ling happened to be among them.

Lingling was wearing a scarlet dress and sat in the crowd with a bowl of white rice porridge. Her eyes were out of focus, and she just stared at the young man in red on the porch.

Two days ago, she was kicked out by the innkeeper because she couldn't pay the rent. When she was desperate, she thought of Qian Qian, who had been following her all along.
Qianqian is just a maidservant, if she sells it, she will sell it.

It's just that the maximum price for selling human teeth is ten taels, but it can be sold for 20 taels in kilns.

If Lingling used to be dismissive of ten taels of silver, but now it is different, every tael of silver is a chance for her to live another day.

Therefore, she decisively sold Qianqian into a brothel.

Lingling walked out of the brothel with 20 taels of joy on her face, who would have thought that just after she came out, she met a group of gangsters, who snatched away her money that hadn't been warmed up without saying a word.

Suizhou had just experienced a typhoon, and the government was busy rebuilding Suizhou City, so no one cared about Ling Ling being robbed of money.

When Lingling was in despair, a person suddenly appeared in front of her——

"You follow me, I will help you."

Then, she followed Shen Xuhuai to the Yamen.

Shen Xuhuai was very busy, and after bringing Lingling back, he didn't say why he helped her, but arranged for her to live with the women in the city.

Ling Ling sipped the bland porridge, but her eyes kept looking in Shen Xuhuai's direction.

Seeing this, the aunt next to her couldn't help but joked: "Master Shen is handsome and kind. Every time he comes, the girls in the city will be fascinated by him. Miss Ling, you are also handsome, and you are quite different from Mr. Shen." good match."

Lingling came back to her senses, and when she caught a glimpse of the slender figure in the courtyard, her face blushed, and she whispered, "Auntie, do you really think so?"

"Yes," the aunt was very sure, "You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, even more beautiful than Miss Yu San from the prefect's family!"

Such a sincere and straightforward compliment made Ling Ling complacent, and subconsciously sat up straight, posing as a young lady.

"To tell you the truth, my father is also an official."

The aunt couldn't hear it anymore, she clicked her tongue: "No wonder, no wonder, I said that you are not like a girl from an ordinary family!"

These words deeply touched Ling Ling's heart, she was not ordinary at all, it was just that she was in trouble temporarily.

The two chatted for a few more words, and suddenly a young official in green clothes ran over and said to Ling Ling, "Miss Ling, sir, please come over."

When the aunt heard it, her two eyes immediately shot out gossip-like light.

Not only her, many people around turned their heads when they heard this.

Lingling enjoyed everyone's gaze very much, raised her chin in a haughty manner, got up with a straight posture, and then followed the little official away.

After passing through the courtyard corridor, we arrived at Shen Xuhuai's study.

It's more like a resting place than a study.Originally, the magistrate Yu had arranged another room for Shen Xuhuai, but there were still many people in Suizhou who had no place to live, so Shen Xuhuai took the initiative to vacate the room, and simply made a bed in the study.

"My lord, Miss Ling is here."

Shen Xuhuai's cold voice came from inside: "Come in."

"Girl, please." The clerk pushed open the door and asked Ling Ling to come in, while he stayed outside the door.

Ling Ling entered the study with a heart in her heart, and when she saw Shen Xuhuai, who was so handsome, her heart beat faster.

"Sir, are you looking for me?"

"En." Shen Xuhuai didn't look up, his eyes still fell on the official document in his hand.

Lingling twisted her fingers uneasily, but she didn't dare to speak again. The young man in front of her seemed gentle, but his eyes were always calm when looking at her. It felt very strange, like looking at a dead object.

She was taken aback by her own thought, and when she looked up again, Shen Xuhuai had already approved all the official documents.

Shen Xuhuai's eyes were as pale as water, and so was his voice: "Leaving for Beijing in three days, you will come with me."

Back to Beijing?

Lingling was stunned for a moment, a little in disbelief.

She has been looking forward to going to the capital for so long, is it finally coming true?
Shen Xuhuai knocked on the table with his index finger, and said, "You pack up the salute in the past few days, and I will let someone notify you to leave."

"Okay, okay." Lingling couldn't restrain the excitement in her heart, "Thank you, sir! When I arrive in the capital, I will definitely repay you well!"

Hearing the word "repay", Shen Xuhuai flashed a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, and said: "There is no need to repay, I just need you to do one thing for me."

Without even thinking about it, Lingling agreed immediately: "Okay, whatever your lord asks me to do, I will do it!"

Hearing this, Shen Xuhuai showed a satisfied smile.

After going through all kinds of hardships, facing the good fortune from heaven, people will only feel that they have suffered so much and finally got the mercy of God, but they don't know that this is the beginning of the next nightmare.

After the strong wind, under the leadership of Shen Xuhuai, Suizhou City gradually restored its former peace, and the sky in the capital finally returned to peace.

On this day, after getting Fu Mingjue's permission, Ling Youyao took Xia Cheng to the shop to check the accounts.

It has to be said that Lu Sheng is reliable, and within a few days, he took care of the formerly smoky shop and brought it to life.

When he saw Ling Youyao coming, he put down his work and greeted her with a smile.

"Madam, you are here."

Ling Youyao is dressed plainly today, with only a white magnolia hairpin on her head, her small face is fair and clean, with curved eyebrows and eyes, just like a kind-faced and kind-eyed fairy under the seat of Guanyin.

She glanced at the bustling shop in front of her, and boasted: "That's right, I can change the shop in such a short period of time, and I'll give you a raise later."

Lu Sheng smiled embarrassedly: "I am already very grateful for you letting me be the shopkeeper. As for the others, I don't ask for it."

"I have other things to tell you later, and you deserve them all."

"Just tell me what you have to do, I will not let you down." Lu Sheng promised, patted his chest.

Ling Youyao smiled: "Actually, it's not a big deal. I want to buy a restaurant. You can help me choose a few suitable ones later, and I'll give you the money when it's settled."

"." This is like buying vegetables when talking about buying a restaurant.

Lu Sheng scratched his head and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to open a restaurant. The two restaurants Zuixiaolou and Tianxiangge alone account for two-thirds of the business in Beijing. We want to compete with them, almost impossible."

"Who said I'm going to open a restaurant?" Ling Youyao said, "I just let you buy a building."

What she wants to do is not a restaurant, but to put it bluntly, it is probably like a modern department store.

"Then you want to." Lu Sheng didn't turn the corner for a moment.

Just as Ling Youyao was about to explain, Lu Bao hurried in: "Princess, it's not good, someone from Huaizhou is here!"
