Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 178 Demolition of the house (5)
In front of Lian Xiu, Xiang Lai naturally couldn't reveal anything, and said vaguely: "Brother Yu is so smart, why would you be surprised, but my third uncle Lian Ke found out that my identity was different, you should have guessed It is."

Yu Zixi said: "Yes, I made a guess here, but I never dreamed that you are the daughter of the head of the Lian family."

Xianglai stopped discussing this topic with him, and asked: "I was in a hurry to leave that day, and I forgot to ask for Brother Yu's address in the capital, so I couldn't find you when I tried to find you later, but finally Brother Yu found here today. gone."

Yu Zixi said: "It was my negligence. At that time, I forgot to tell my sister my location in the Wangdu store. I didn't know that you also settled here until I heard that Wangdu opened Tianxiang Rice Shop a few days ago. That's why I asked about it." I found it, but it was just a coincidence, when I found the main number of Mihang, I heard that my sister happened to be entering Lianfu today, thinking that I can’t come in vain, why don’t I just come here and have a look, it’s also a celebration for my sister.”

Xianglai said indifferently: "What kind of celebration is it, but live in another place..."

Lian Xiu thought that Yu Zixi was mostly looking for Xianglai to discuss some business, but he didn't expect that the two of them were chatting all the time. Seeing them standing and talking, he said, "Laier, why don't you invite your friend to sit down and talk."

Xiang Lai said: "I'm just talking, Brother Yu, please sit down."

After the two sat down, Xu Che also stood behind Xianglai, standing there idly, looking at Qi Xing with his hands crossed.

He had only heard from Xu Lin not long ago that Qi Xing had assassinated Xianglai back then, so the little goodwill he had accumulated with great difficulty disappeared, and his eyes were full of hostility.

Although Qi Xing didn't know that Xu Lin and Xu Che were brothers, he also felt disgusted with both of them. Seeing Xu Che looking at him, he turned his face away, pretending that he didn't know him.

Lian Xiu didn't leave after Xianglai and the two sat down, and he also sat beside him after tea was served again.

Since Goryeo and Beiliao formally established diplomatic relations, he has been thinking about resuming the Lian family's business in Goryeo. When talking with Yu Zixi just now, he heard that it was related to the Goryeo envoy, so he wanted to find out about Yu Zixi's details and see if he could treat him well. Doing business in Korea will help in the future.

Seeing that he didn't leave, Yu Zixi couldn't keep chatting with Xianglai, and said: "Sister Xianglai is really lucky, after returning to Lian's house, she won't have to work as hard as before."

Xiang Lai pursed her lips, seeming to chuckle and disapproving.

Xiang Lai didn't speak and even had the chance to interrupt, he said: "Why are Mr. Yu and Lai'er very familiar?"

Yu Zixi said: "That's right, I have known Xianglai for four years, she helped me once, and I also got involved in her business, we can be regarded as partners."

"Oh..." Lian Xiu nodded in response and took a sip of tea, thinking that this girl actually has other people's shares in her property, and it seems that she will have to pay more attention to income from Lian's family in the future.

After thinking about it, he asked again: "Young Master Yu said before that he has business in the king, but I don't know what kind of business he is doing."

Yu Zixi said: "I'm not good at business and business, but I just teach people to smuggle some rare things from Nanliao, and put them in the shop to fool people who don't know how to do it."

As he spoke, Qi Xing asked Qi Xing to bring the gift box over, took out a few things from inside, and said: "I heard that sister Xianglai found her biological parents and was happy for her, so I chose a few small things to give to my sister and uncles and aunts. It's not something expensive, I hope my sister and uncles and aunts don't dislike it."

As he spoke, he took out everything.

What was given to Xianglai was a white jade bracelet with twisted silk patterns. The jade is delicate and white, as smooth as fat, and the simple style fits Xianglai's temperament.

What was given to Yang Mengwan was a finely carved emerald bamboo hairpin, the color is green and transparent, crystal clear as ice, one can tell it must be top grade.

But what was given to Lianxiu was a thirteen-ringed jade buckle with a leather bottom, needless to say, it must be very valuable.

Given the current relationship between the two, there is no need to be polite, Xianglai joked while trying on the bracelet: "Brother Yu gave you something precious, and once you give it, you get three copies, but you want me to pay you more for the shares?" [-]%?"

Yu Zixi smiled and said: "I didn't dare to think that way, the reason why I am so flattering is just to look at the end of the year and let Xianglai girl show her high hands, just don't withhold my share of the bonus."

Xianglai pinched the bracelet on her wrist and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your bonus must be indispensable. Before I came to the capital, I told Guifang that I would deposit it directly in Huiyuan Bank for you. It is estimated that there will be more money in the next few days." The news is coming."

Yu Zixi said: "I'm just saying, do you really take it seriously, do you think I really want to send you that little bonus..."

The three of them were talking, another servant came in to report to Lian Xiu, saying: "Master, Madam sent someone over, saying that there is something to report to Master."

Lian Xiu frowned and said, "What's the matter, you're here to look for it at this time."

The servant who reported this time naturally didn't know, but Xianglai said: "Let her in, I guess most of them are related to me."

After Xianglai came back, Lian Xiu hadn't gone to the inner house yet, thinking that it would be too late to see her again at night, she didn't know what happened in the inner house at all, after hearing Xianglai finished speaking, she said to the person who reported, "Go, let her in."

The man answered and went out to bring in the maid sent by Mrs. Zhu.

After entering the door, the maid glanced at Xianglai, then said hesitantly: "Master, madam said, said..."

Lian Xiu looked at her embarrassed expression and said, "What are you talking about?"

The maid looked at Xianglai again, and said: "Madam said that the new lady is going to demolish the Lianfu, and let the master take good care of it."

"What?" Lian Xiu asked strangely: "To be clear, what is it that Miss wants to demolish the Lianfu?"

The servant woman said: "It's just that... Miss was dissatisfied with the yard chosen by Madam, so she moved to Ningfang Garden by herself, and then... got someone to tear down the yard Madam assigned."

Lian Xiu looked at Xiang Lai in a blink of an eye, and said, "Laier, what's going on?"

Xianglai sat there with no expression on his face, and said: "It's the yard that I let people pick up, but that yard really needs to be taken away, even the servants who do the laundry are gone, can't father imagine what it will be like?" ? It’s better to tear it down and rebuild a decent one, or our mother and I won’t be able to live in it.”

Only then did Lian Xiu realize that the so-called courtyard assigned by Mrs. Zhu turned out to be the abandoned laundry room in the mansion. In front of Yu Zixi, he couldn't hold back his face, and said sullenly to the servant: "Go back and tell Madam, it will be demolished." Let's tear it down, the lady is not comfortable living here, so of course it has to be demolished."

The maid had no choice but to bow her head and say "yes", and then backed out.

Yu Zixi could hear clearly, turned her head and asked Xianglai in a low voice, "Why did you let you live in the laundry room, and where is the Ningfang Garden you moved to?"
