Reborn Nongmen Merchant Concubine

Chapter 357
The palace banquet was as boring as ever. After Ling Xiaoyu gave Nuanyu to her sister, she left the palace with an excuse.Even though the emperor's brother-in-law had already given him a marriage, those daughters of all the families seemed to be determined to show him courteousness.

I have to say, sometimes people who are handsome and rich are indeed more sought-after!Bah, no, no, how to say it as if I am a thing, Bah, I am not a thing!Damn, why did I get confused by going around!

"Second Young Master" Chu Ting saw Ling Xiaoyu go out, and she followed behind. Seeing that there was no one around, she dared to call to stop Ling Xiaoyu who was leaving quickly.

Hearing the voice, Ling Xiaoyu stopped instinctively: "Girl, did you call me just now?" There was no one around, as if asking this question was a bit redundant.

"Second son, Xiao Yu, don't you remember Ting'er? We used to play together when we were young, and every time you got into trouble, it wasn't Ting'er who helped you, but it was Miss Wan'er who helped you to block it.

In the future, with the relationship between our two families, we will be together, I don't want to, the person standing by your side in the end is not me!Xiaoyu, can you tell me why?Is it because I am not pretty enough, or do you think that only women who are in business like you are worthy of you? "

At first Ling Xiaoyu didn't realize that the woman in front of her was her childhood playmate. "Chu Ting, is Shangshu Chu's daughter, I'm sorry, I don't remember many things very clearly when I was a child. But, does this have something to do with Miss Chu's calling?"

Chu Ting didn't expect Ling Xiaoyu to ask her back like this, so she didn't know what to say for a while.If she, a boudoir daughter, stops other young masters at night, if it spreads, her reputation will be ruined.

"Xiaoyu, I, I'm just not reconciled. I'm worse than that village girl. Would you rather choose her than me?"

"Miss Chu, I think you have misunderstood. I think it's up to me to decide who I like and who I don't. If you want to speak with the affection you had when you were young, I think you and I will be strangers, my lord." There is something else, Miss Chu should go back to the banquet as soon as possible!"

Chu Ting watched Ling Xiaoyu leave the palace without a thought, but she was helpless. "Why did you treat me like this? You said that you would marry me as your bride when you grow up."

"Ting'er, why did you come here? What's the matter, who bullied you?" Chu's mother saw that her daughter had been out for a long time and hadn't returned, so she looked for her, but she saw tears streaming down her face.

"Mother, Ting'er's heart hurts so much, it hurts so much, Ting'er wants to go home!" She didn't want to be ashamed here, and she didn't want to be seen by others and lose face to the Chu family.

"Ting'er, what are you talking about? How can you just leave before the palace banquet is over? It's not easy for your father to become a minister. You should be considerate of him anyway, right? Okay, mother will take you to wash Face."

In the ruined temple in the western suburbs of Fucheng, Ling Xiaoyu finally rushed over after spending half an hour.Ever since he came back from Dayu Country, Chen Feng was in charge of the affairs over there. He originally wanted to send some people to assist him, but it was delayed a lot due to various factors.

Taking advantage of today when everyone was busy celebrating New Year's Eve, he and Ling Tian took the time to rush the selected people to Daewoo Kingdom in the shortest possible time for tonight's action.He knew that the current Daewoo Kingdom was extremely cold, but he believed even more that those who went out under his hands could withstand the cold.

"Master, everything has been arranged!"

"Well, tell the brothers, pay attention to safety on the road. Also, have you prepared all the things that Miss Meng made before? This year is a bit colder than last year. Our Dafeng is not so obvious. When we arrive in Daewoo, those Everything will come in handy!"

Ling Tian looked at his master with a look of embarrassment: "It's ready, but we have more ginger here in July and August, and the common people don't usually use it for cooking, so we prepare a little less. !"

Ling Xiaoyu frowned: "Why didn't you talk about this earlier? How much have you prepared now?"

"About two hundred catties!"

"Two hundred catties, okay, take it there first, and I'll find a way to get some when it's not enough."

The price of ginger to dispel the cold was sold in Daewoo country, but not lowered.It's just that he didn't expect that there are not as many of these things in Dafeng as he imagined.

"Yes, then, this subordinate went over and told them to leave!"

"Go!" It seems that he still has to trouble Meng Yuan to see if there is any other way for her to get some ginger out in a short time.He remembered that she said that in order to dilute the fishy smell of sea fish, ginger is the first material to remove the fishy smell, so she should have the source of ginger in hand.

When Ling Tian went to arrange for the guards to leave, Ling Xiaoyu was gone when he came back. He only found out after asking the guards that he had already left.

"Going in such a hurry, is something wrong?"

It's okay if you don't rush, Ling Xiaoyu returned to Ling's house and left a letter for his parents, then rode his horse and left Fucheng overnight to go to Buyang Town.Of course, he didn't come to propose marriage alone, he just wanted to know where to get more ginger.

Because not only the hidden guards in Dayu Kingdom need it, but also the soldiers guarding the frontier need this thing to keep out the cold.He clearly knew that many soldiers lost their lives every year because of cold air entering their bodies and not being able to receive timely treatment.Although the ginger syrup made from ginger cannot completely resist the invasion of cold air, it can block it for at least one year.

Seeing that it was Ling Xiaoyu, the soldiers guarding the city automatically opened the city gate before anyone could speak.At this time, everyone is having New Year's Eve dinner with their families at home, and it's their turn to be on their turn.

Ling Xiaoyu's horse is not slow, and it is not easy for the soldiers of the big family to guard the city gate. Before leaving, Ling Xiaoyu generously threw an ingot of ten taels of silver to the soldier: "It's cold, buy some wine Warm up your body!"

The soldiers guarding the city gate look at me and I look at yours. Even Ling Xiaoyu has gone far and hasn't recovered yet to close the city gate!
"Hurry up, close the gate of the city soon, whoever of you is going to get two roast chickens and a few jugs of wine and some appetizers. It's a big day, and with this money, we will be sorry if we don't eat something good tonight. Guard the city gate here!"

"Tell me, the second son is going out of the city at such a late hour, why is there such a hurry?"

"Hey, why do you care so much? Who is the second son? Can you inquire about what he does? Let me tell you, just ignore what happened tonight. If you let me know who of you put this Don't blame me for being impolite if things get out."

Ling Xiaoyu left Fucheng overnight, and the Ling family only found out when they returned home after the palace banquet.

Mu Zier didn't think it was a big deal, anyway, the whole family was going to go there in the second year of junior high school, and the son went there first to arrange the accommodation, and they would save the trouble of the guys by going there!
"Father, the second brother may have to go there first. You read it too. Didn't he say in his letter that he will wait for us in Buyang Town in the second year of junior high school?"

"You all know how to protect him, and I didn't say anything to him. You all make it look like how bad I am."

"Okay, don't be upset. If Yu'er is okay, he didn't come back to watch the night with him that year? This year, alas, let's just mean it. If you are visiting relatives and friends on the first day of the new year tomorrow, do it first." After finishing all this, we probably have to leave overnight to go to Buyang Town, and we can't arrive at night only when we come to the door for the first time.

This is what I think, we will set off tomorrow afternoon, and then we should be able to reach Buyang Town in the evening. After resting in the town, our family will be full of energy to propose marriage to Yu'er the next day. "

"Yes, if we all take a carriage from Fucheng to Buyang Town, wouldn't it take a day to get there? I agree with your idea, Madam! Then what, Zhu Er and Xiao Tian, ​​send a letter to Ling'er, her grandparents, will visit relatives a few days later this year."

"Father, my daughter-in-law has sent a letter to tell the elders, so you don't have to worry about this!"

Ling Guocheng was very pleased with Zhu Zhu's understanding, and it was also a blessing for the Ling family that the eldest son had this virtuous wife.I hope that after Yu'er and Mengjia girl get married in the future, the two sisters-in-law can live in harmony, and everything will be happy in family harmony! ,

"Okay, okay, the children are tired, Zhu Er, you can take the children back to the house to rest first, Xiaotian and I will watch over here!"

It is said to be a vigil, but in fact it is just a show of expressing your heart, so that the ancestors under the nine springs know that their children and grandchildren are filial.After the time passed, they also had to go back to rest, and the rest of the work was left to the servants.

The female relatives were all sent back to the house to rest, and the father and son drank tea from time to time and chatted about some small things in the court.

It can be said that every dynasty and every generation will have some hidden things. For example, now that Huangfuxuan can occupy the current position, their Ling family has given the greatest support. Although the Ling family is a scholarly family, the background is not what it seems on the surface simple.

As the saying goes, one must know how to avoid the edge in order to keep the family alive for generations.Now on the surface, Ling Guocheng and his eldest son are the members of the Ling family in officialdom, but there are many talented and learned people in the Ling family who are still cultivating their morals. If something really happened that day, they would be a role model for civil servants.

"Father, the second uncle is actually very talented. Why is he only willing to be a teacher? It has been the same for more than ten years. Although the second uncle has many students under his command, and there are many in the officialdom, if the second uncle participates If you take the scientific examination, you must be a liberal arts champion!"

Ling Guocheng looked at the eldest son: "Xiaotian, our Ling family has a large number of talents, and the older generation knows this. Why dad, the eldest brother, wants to be an official? That's also the family rule, otherwise you really think dad Will you agree with your brother to go into business?"
