After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 33 Lifelike
After the old woman left with a grimace and the two girls, Jiujin closed the door and asked, "Why did you leave this girl behind?"

"I'm too lazy to talk too much with them. Sooner or later, that woman will put some eyes on us. Mrs. Hu seems to be quite smart, so just leave her alone." Yu Linlang said a few words casually and walked directly to the window shelf. Taking care of her precious potted plants.

Dozens of pots of flowers and plants were placed on two bamboo shelves about half a foot high.

Some have not sprouted yet, and some have sprouted a trace of young leaves.

One potted plant with red, green and yellow flower buds is particularly eye-catching.

Yu Linlang took out a plastic watering can out of thin air and watered it carefully. Then she took out a jade bottle from her waist and poured some clear dew on it.

There was a rare hint of joy that a girl should have on her face.

"Look at this, if you keep it for another month and a half, it will bloom."

Jiu Jin saw that she was happy, and there was a smile on his face.

"Girl, count the days, Mrs. Huang and Ba Liang should be here tomorrow." She said as she took out clean clothes from the cabinet and laid them on the bed.

Yu Linlang's eyes lit up, "Then plan your time and go to the city gate to greet them. Just ask Aunt Hu to go to the kitchen and get me some food at noon. I have to retreat and paint."

"it is good."

It happened that Aunt Hu led Xiangling and Xiangye to carry a bucket of water back. She was so tired that she gasped, "Miss Yu, the water has been brought here for you."

Yu Linlang put away the plastic watering bottle in her hand, took a handkerchief and wiped her hands.

Jiujin opened the door, took the barrel carried by the girls with both hands, and carried it in with a gentle hug.

The ladies and girls were so stunned that they stood at the door for a long time without reacting.

"Why are you standing there in a daze? Go get another bucket and bring it over. Don't you, girl, wash it with clean water again? You still need to be taught."

Aunt Hu was so numb that she almost felt like crying.

The kitchen was not close to the small courtyard. The three of them came over carrying a bucket of water, and she could hardly stand upright.

"I'll go out tomorrow, and you three will prepare the girl's lunch. Don't disturb the girl at other times, she has to do something."

Aunt Hu responded submissively twice, and then went to fetch water with Xiangling Xiangle.

Jiu Jin closed the door and muttered, "What's the use? Carrying a bucket of water will tire them out."

In the west wing separated by a small patio.

Honglai put his ear against the door and listened carefully for a while. Nunu turned to the girl and said, "Miss, Mrs. Hu and the others went to the kitchen to carry water again."

"It's such a luxury. You need two buckets of water to take a bath. Hehe, we don't have the life of the eldest lady, but we still have to act like a eldest lady."

Yu Qiuping was embroidering the mandarin duck handkerchief in her hand in front of the light, without raising her head when she heard the words, "My mother has allocated all of Aunt Hu to her now, which shows that she still takes good care of her."

"The eldest lady is really tolerant." Honglai shook his head and said with a sneer on his face, "But no one in the house knows that she is the extra one."

"Everyone used to call Miss Zhihua the third girl, but now there is an extra one out of thin air. I don't know if the people in Miss Zhihua's courtyard are used to it."

Yu Qiuping paused slightly in her hands and said mockingly, "Aunt Su is a master who neither fights nor robs. Her daughter may seem more powerful on paper, but in reality she is just a piece of paper."

Honglai walked up to Yu Qiuping, took a look, and praised, "Miss, your embroidery work is becoming more and more exquisite." "What a pity." Yu Qiuping sighed softly, "No one appreciates it."

While he was talking, the girl Lucai walked in with an ugly face and said, "Girl."

Yu Qiuping glanced at her, and her face became a little gloomy, "Why did you come back empty-handed? What did she say?"

"My aunt said that I gave everything to the lady. I really can't afford any money." Lu Cai tightened her hand.

"Where are the jewels in the brocade box? Take them out and pawn them to solve an urgent need!"

"Miss, my slave said the same thing. But my aunt said, where are there any other valuable jewelry? In order to prepare a birthday gift for the old lady, she has pawned all the jewelry she can afford! The 20 taels deposit paid to Babao Pavilion before is still It’s all pieced together.”

"In these years, I have never been to my aunt's room, and I have received no reward at all. The business of our only powder shop has not improved, and the money we receive every month is pitiful."

Yu Qiuping was anxious and angry, and the half-embroidered mandarin duck handkerchief was wrinkled by her pinching.

"A useless thing can't even coax a man." A nameless fire burst out of Yu Qiuping's heart.

"Girl, what should we do now? Shopkeeper Wu from Babao Pavilion sent someone over again today to press for the settlement."

"It is said that the jadeite Guanyin is exquisitely made, and several wives from wealthy families have spotted it and are rushing to buy it. Shopkeeper Wu said that if we can no longer settle the money tomorrow night, we will take that statue. Sell ​​Jade Guanyin to someone else."

"Why is he in such a hurry?" Yu Qiuping put down the embroidery in her hands, anger welling up in her heart.

"If you said you can buy it, then you will buy it. Why don't you pay him the money two days later? Is there anything we can't wait for?"

Yu Qiuping got up and walked around the room, "Go and call Ma Gui for me early tomorrow morning. I don't believe it. I can't buy an emerald Guanyin with my reputation as the richest daughter of the governor's office."

"My aunt is not reliable at all." When Yu Qiuping said this, she did not hide the contempt in her eyes, "There is no money, no one has it, there is nothing."

It's a pity that she doesn't have a good life like Yu Pianpian. If she were the daughter of the Huo family and the cousin of the Huo family in the capital, would she still have to worry about the money for herself?
"No, I have to go to Changle Casino in person tomorrow."

……

After noon the next day, Yu Shoudao, Chen Buyu, Wei Ling and others were called to the Mu Mansion to admire the portrait painted by Yu Linlang.

"It's too... lifelike." Jade Governor held back his words for a long time.

The appearance of the deceased was too realistic, and it felt no different from the real person.

"The portrait was sent by Ling Qianjin before noon." Mu Zhao's eyes showed admiration, "Ling Qianjin advanced the completion time by several hours, and he was serious and responsible. It can be seen that he stayed up late to paint and worked hard, and his moral character is rare. .”

Mu Feng followed his brother and had admired this portrait for a long time. Hearing this, he couldn't help but said, "Master Governor, Miss Linlang of your family is really a talented person! Why have you kept such a good girl outside all this time?" Take it back?"

The Jade Governor smiled and said, "My daughter has never been in good health, so she has been living outside in the village. She is also honored to be able to help with the case this time."

Chen Buyu waved his hand, "This is more than just a small favor, it will definitely help."

"Is it him? Is this the person who died?" Governor Jade couldn't help but wonder.

Lu Qian said: "I have asked the painters to copy dozens of them and take them to various gambling houses for inquiries."
