Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 148
As Xie Yanniang ate, she could recall the life she lived with Liu Zifu in the south, and her appetite gradually increased.

Seeing the people around her put down their chopsticks, unable to swallow, she ate even happier.

Long Zhiyu saw that Xie Yanniang ate happily, but he did not disappoint his intention to invite a southern cook from the restaurant: "Young lady seems to be very satisfied with these dishes?"

"Yes, I was taken over from the south and never had these dishes again. I really miss them." How could Master Xie and Mrs. Xie be considerate of her and specially invite a cook from the south to cook?

It is good enough to have something to eat, even if Mr. Xie wanted to hold Xie Yanniang's heart, he would never think of such a trivial matter.

But they don't know that it's the little things like this that are the easiest to touch a person's heart.

Long Zhiyu is indeed a veteran in the field of love. How can an ordinary little girl be indifferent to being treated with such care?
It's a pity that Xie Yanniang's heart has long since died, how could she be moved by this little favor?

Long Zhiyu never thought that he could regain this extraordinary girl so quickly, but Xie Yanniang's answer was unexpectedly lukewarm.

He couldn't help but smile, it's interesting, it's so interesting, it's been a long time since I've encountered anything exciting.

What is too easy to get is always boring, but Xie Yanniang's actions have aroused Long Zhiyu's fighting spirit.

No matter what kind of woman, Long Zhiyu is easy to catch, and sooner or later Xie Yanniang will be in his net.

After dinner, Long Zhiyu also got up to leave.

Before he left, he softly told Ke Lin to take good care of him, and asked someone to bring soothing incense.

Xie Yanniang knew that this incense was a palace item, not an ordinary item.A small piece is already worth thousands of gold.

Now put it in the corner of her room at will, let yourself enjoy it.

Could it be that Long Zhiyu wants to use this extravagant life to slowly wear down her will, so that Xie Yanniang can't extricate herself from the life of being greedy for wealth?
It's a pity that his wishful thinking may come to nothing.Xie Yanniang has had enough of the luxurious life of the palace in her previous life.

Although everything is exquisite, it is a pity that the huge palace is like a golden birdcage, which makes people breathless.No matter how good things are, she can't get excited.

Lazily leaning on the soft couch, Xie Yanniang suddenly found that Ke Lin was the only one waiting in front of her: "Why are there only you, Ke Xin and Ke Yu?"

"Back to the girl, they just entered the mansion, and they haven't learned all the rules. They serve the girl during the day, and go to the nanny to learn the rules at night, so as not to offend the girl." Ke Lin put the teacup by her hand and explained softly.

Xie Yanniang picked up the teacup, and after a brief sniff, she knew what was inside.

Hundred Flowers Fragrance, this is a rare and good thing.Concubines often drink this, even if they don't use balm on weekdays, they can still exude a faint fragrance.In particular, this fragrance can also make the skin fair and delicate, which is extremely rare.

A yard of flowers can only be made into a small bottle of dew, and several processes have to go through.

It was rumored that the flower dew in the palace was obtained after exhausting four huge gardens, and it was unknown where Long Zhiyu got a bottle.

Ke Lin didn't say what it was, and Xie Yanniang didn't ask, and put it down after taking a few sips.

Seeing Ke Lin's thoughtful eyes, she suddenly smiled.

He behaved too normally, as if he knew what was in the teacup.It stands to reason that a little girl who grew up in a remote town in the south, where has she seen such a good thing?
It's just that she can't make too much surprise, so as not to make people feel that she did it on purpose.

"This food is quite delicious. If there are still some in the mansion, I really want to take it back and give it to my eldest sister and second sister to taste."

Xie Yanniang had a cute face, but Ke Lin didn't dare to respond.

It took the master a lot of effort to get such a small bottle, but it is not enough to give it away.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Xie Yanniang didn't continue to hold on to this: "Ke Xin and Ke Yu went to learn the rules, but it made you tired, and I only served me alone. Let them separate later, and learn the rules in one morning and one afternoon. , they take turns serving at night, and they can also let you have a rest."

"Miss Xie, you are considerate. The maidservants are not tired." Ke Lin quickly replied, as a maidservant, she dared not say the word "tired".

Xie Yanniang's eyes widened, and she said displeasedly: "If you are exhausted, who in the yard has the ability like you? Ke Xin and Ke Yu have just arrived, and they are not as familiar with you, so it will be a waste of time?"

The words have come to this point, Ke Lin has no choice but to agree.

Only then did Xie Yanniang nod in satisfaction, how could she inquire about the news without leaving them?

Long Zhiyu went to sit in the yard every day, with a gentle and considerate manner.

Xie Yanniang was able to deal with it patiently at first, but gradually became a little impatient.

There was no news or inquiry for several days in a row, which really made people feel anxious.

I don't know what Long Zhiyu's plan was to prevent her from leaving the other courtyard.

Maybe Xie Yanniang knew a little bit, and the fifteen princes didn't intend to let her leave easily.

She couldn't sit still anymore, tossing and turning at night, unable to fall asleep at all, so she simply sat up.

It was Ke Yu who was keeping watch outside the house tonight. When she heard the sound, she quickly got up from the small couch outside: "Miss, do you want water?"

"Well, bring me a bowl of cold water." Xie Yanniang took the porcelain cup and motioned Ke Yu to sit down: "I can't sleep, please talk to me."

Ke Yu didn't dare to sit down, and asked a little cautiously: "What does the girl want the servant to say?"

"Just chatting casually," Xie Yanniang frowned, and said again: "If you don't sit down, I have to keep my head up, I'm so tired."

Hearing this, Ke Yu didn't dare not sit down, but she only sat halfway on the small stool.

When I first came, I was careless, but now the rules are getting better.But in just a few days, that nanny was a formidable one.

It's just that Ke Yu's back is too straight, which shows that her background may not be good enough, but her temperament is very arrogant.

"I have two half-sisters, but the relationship is not very good. Have you ever had brothers and sisters before?" Xie Yanniang spoke first, chatting seemingly unintentionally, but Ke Yu's shoulders stiffened without a trace.

"Back to the girl, this servant once had an older sister, but she died of illness early on."

"It's a pity to be young." Xie Yanniang caught a glimpse of Ke Yu's clenched fist in her sleeve. Her sister's death may not be as simple as dying of illness.

"My dad is in business, what about you?"

Ke Yu lowered her head: "The servant's father is a scholar. He is a scholar who is useless. He also died of illness early."

The whole family is sick and dead, who would believe it without any secrets?

Listening to the noises outside, Xie Yanniang guessed that the lights in her room were lit to wake up Ke Lin who had fallen asleep. It seemed that this chat should be ended as soon as possible: "What was your last name before you entered the mansion? Was it Ke Yu?"

Ke Yu was silent for a long time this time, and when Xie Yanniang thought she would not answer, she opened her mouth in a low voice: "The slaves have long forgotten the past, and even their names have been abandoned."

She quickly glanced outside and heard footsteps, she said in a low voice, "Miss, don't ask too many questions, it's better not to know some things. The master likes girls and spoils her, but if the girl offends the master, There will be no good fruit to eat."

Xie Yanniang grabbed Ke Yu's wrist, leaned close to her ear and asked in a low voice: "I just want to know that you came here willingly, no matter how sad your mother-in-law is crying, you still insist on going your own way?"

"From the moment the servant made the decision, there was no way out." Ke Yu indirectly admitted that he took the initiative to step into Puji Temple just to come here.

Xie Yanniang secretly sighed: "If you regret it, I will take you out of the other courtyard together."

Ke Yu shook her head, got up and stepped aside, but Ke Lin's voice came from outside the door: "Young lady is awake? The servant saw that the room was lit, so she came to see the young lady."

"Come in," Xie Yanniang didn't look at Ke Yu again, and said to Ke Lin who came in, "I'm a little thirsty, so I asked Ke Yu to bring water."

Ke Lin saw that the teacup in her hand was half-drinked, and Ke Yu retreated to the corner with lowered brows, and said respectfully: "Ke Yu is clumsy, did she wake up the girl? Or let the servants come to watch the night and let Ke Yu go back sleep."

"Okay, turn off the lights, let's go rest." Xie Yanniang yawned, and lay back on the couch, seeing Ke Lin lightly turned off the lights, and went out with Ke Yu.

But Yu is a smart person, so what he said and heard just now, he will definitely not tell Ke Lin.

Ke Lin is here, saying that he is staring at himself, who said he is also staring at Ke Xin and Ke Yu?

After a night of no dreams, when Xie Yanniang woke up, Ke Yu hadn't been there all day, so she couldn't help asking Ke Xin who was serving her, "Why didn't Ke Yu disappear?"

Ke Xin replied cautiously: "Last night, Ke Yu didn't serve the good girl, and was punished by the mother to go to the woodshed to face the wall and think about it."

Xie Yanniang sat up in shock: "She only brought me a glass of cold water last night, why didn't she serve me?"

"Master said that Ke Yu didn't take care of her, but she just didn't do enough to take care of her." After Ke Xin finished answering, she lowered her head and served her a meal, as if she was afraid to say a word.

Xie Yanniang frowned, and looked around quietly, could it be that Long Zhiyu sent someone to secretly watch beside her?

So did this man know about her conversation with Ke Yu last night?

Otherwise, how could Ke Yu be punished?

"Girl, don't worry, it's common for slaves to be punished for not doing well, and it's just a small punishment to face the wall and think about their mistakes." Ke Lin opened the curtain and comforted Xie Yanniang in a low voice.

Locked in the firewood room, facing the wall without eating or drinking all day long, is it just a small punishment?

Xie Yanniang only moved her chopsticks a few times before losing her appetite.

But even how much he ate and how many times he moved his chopsticks, he might have to report to Long Zhiyu.

She saw Kexin knelt down at her feet with a "plop", and said tremblingly, "Miss, is the food not to your liking?"

Xie Yanniang just felt a block in her heart, and finally understood why Long Zhiyu picked people to be her maids, and he was basically torturing their hearts, so that these maids would be frightened, and in the end they were smoothed out, only remembering that they were slaves identity.

As for Ke Yu, Long Zhiyu was simply trying to scare the chickens and monkeys. Even if he didn't know what the two of them said at night, he was probably warning others not to get too close to him.

This move is simple and simple, but it scares the people around him quite a lot, seeing Kexin still trembling all over, Xie Yanniang just feels even more unhappy in her heart.

She had forgotten about the fifteenth prince, who was smiling on the surface, but inside he was not a character to get along with.
