Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 149
"Get up, go get another bowl of sweet soup, make it easier for the kitchen to cook at night, otherwise I will become a big fat man sooner or later, and I won't be able to wear the newly made clothes." Xie Yanniang laughed at herself, but it was true Made a joke of his own.

Ke Xin replied seriously: "Girl, don't worry, the clothes won't fit, and then let Xiu Niang rush to work overnight to make a few more."

Xie Yanniang is helpless, it's only been a few days, but Kexin has completely turned into a decent maid in another courtyard, this is probably what Long Zhiyu is happy to see.

After barely drinking half a bowl of sweet soup, the meal was finally over.

But Ke Lin came in and said, "The flowers in the garden are blooming just right, do you want to go and enjoy them, Miss?"

How could Xie Yanniang be unwilling to leave this small cage-like courtyard on the water, and was about to go out, but was stopped by Ke Lin.

"Also ask the girl to change her clothes."

Ke Lin also knelt on the ground, Xie Yanniang had to agree even if she didn't want to, the feeling of being coerced by someone is not very good.

But what's the use of embarrassing the two maids, after all, they are just obeying orders.

This change took less than half an hour.Ke Xin picked out a peach red dress, Ke Lin combed her hair and put on a white jade hairpin, and adorned her temples with two pearl flowers.

Looking at the person in the mirror, Xie Yanniang almost didn't recognize herself.

Ke Lin came over with a makeup box, and she couldn't help shaking her head: "How come it's like attending a banquet if you go to enjoy the flowers?"

Seeing that she was really unwilling, Ke Lin finally let go.

The group of people finally left the yard, Xie Yanniang walked across the covered bridge slowly, her feet finally stepped on the ground, and only then did she feel the truth.

After walking for a while before arriving at the garden, there was a burst of fragrance of flowers wafting from a distance, which made people feel refreshed.

It's just that Xie Yanniang only paused for a moment among the flowers, admiring a gold-edged peony in front of her, when she suddenly heard a deep voice from behind: "Young lady has sharp eyes, and she immediately fell in love with this pot of peony, but I bought it from someone else yesterday. won it back."

She was startled, and when she turned around, she saw Long Zhiyu standing behind her with a smile.

As for Ke Xin and Ke Lin, they had long since disappeared.

Xie Yanniang forced a smile: "I don't know what kind of flower this is, but I just stopped to look at it a few more times because of its beauty."

"The rare peony is not as good as the girl's." Long Zhiyu opened his mouth, and the sweet words were extremely touching.

She still smiled slightly, and said modestly: "The lord has praised me absurdly, but a girl dare not be a girl. The peony is the queen of flowers, how can a girl compare to it?"

"Looking at the peony, Minnv thinks of the crabapple in the yard. When it is in full bloom, it is also very charming."

Xie Yanniang mentioned the Xie Mansion, but Long Zhiyu didn't reply, he just invited softly: "There are some food and wine prepared in the pavilion, can you do me a favor and have a drink with me, Miss?"

How can Xie Yanniang refuse to agree, but she doesn't dare to touch wine: "Ministers just pour a glass, so as not to disturb the Wang Ye's pleasure."

Long Zhiyu didn't force her either, and sat alone at the stone table in the pavilion, pouring wine for himself, drinking for himself, and entertaining himself.

It's just that while he was drinking, he stared at Xie Yanniang with a smile that was not a smile, as if she was the appetizer, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.

"Is the girl living comfortably?"

"Thank you, my lord, for your hospitality. I just miss my parents in my heart. It's time to go home." Xie Yanniang mentioned Xie's house again and again, and Long Zhiyu was not annoyed.

"This other courtyard is just a place for occasional enjoyment. After all, it is not as good as the Wangfu. If you invite the girl to visit the mansion in the future, would you be willing?"

Xie Yanniang was naturally unwilling, her face blushed, making her little face look as if it was dyed with the morning glow, and it was charming and glamorous.

Long Zhiyu was startled, he usually sees her not as good as Xie Churou's appearance, let alone Xie Ruitong's boldness.Looking at it now, she is actually not much worse than the two elder sisters, and even after she grows up, she is afraid that many men will fall in love with her.

Thinking that this little girl would show such a charming look in the arms of other men in the future, a haze suddenly flashed in his heart.

Long Zhiyu will always try his best to hold on to what he wants, whether it is power or the person next to him.

He looked at the delicate look on Xie Yanniang's face, but he misunderstood, and smiled softly: "This king has already mentioned it to the emperor, and he decreed that the girl will be given to me as a side concubine."

Xie Yanniang was taken aback, in her previous life she was just a small concubine when she first entered the mansion, everyone already felt that she was superior.

Now Long Zhiyu is generous, promising the position of side concubine all at once?
A daughter of a small businessman, the fifteenth prince has always been unrestrained and unrestrained, and doesn't care about her origin.

Xie Yanniang laughed at herself, should she be grateful to this man?

Head-to-head is not the best policy, she lowered her eyes, and replied in a low voice: "Marriage is always the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. How can a girl be the master?"

Let Master Xie be the master, this matter is naturally settled.

Being able to be related to the palace is something the Xie family dreamed of, how could they refuse?
Thinking of this, Long Zhiyu smiled even more happily, as if he could already bring this little girl into the house, poured her a cup of tea with his own hands, and said softly: "Miss Xie, just wait for me to pick you up, everything else will be fine." no need to worry."

Xie Yanniang nodded lightly, and then asked in a low voice: "How can you bother the prince to come to pick you up in person? This has never happened before, but the daughters of the people have to go back and prepare. The mother also taught that before going out , you can’t show your face.”

The corners of Long Zhiyu's mouth twitched slightly when he heard her whispering words of thinking for himself.The thoughts I put in these days, I thought it would be ineffective, but I finally managed to win over this little girl silently.

It's just that this girl hid it so deeply that she almost made her look away.

He stretched out his hand to cover the back of her hand, Xie Yanniang froze all over, lowering her head almost to her chest, so as to hide the disgust in her eyes.

But Long Zhiyu thought she was shy, so he patted Xie Yanniang lightly to appease Xie Yanniang and said, "No matter what anyone says, the girl just believes in me."

Xie Yanniang raised her eyebrows in surprise, was he worried that the two older sisters in the house would make a fuss and make her retreat?

This was a good excuse to shirk, so she said hesitantly: "The elder sister and the second sister have admired the prince for a long time, and now they know this, it will definitely destroy the sisters' friendship. Moreover, the two elder sisters are not yet married, and it is their turn You can't be a younger sister like Minnv."

Long Zhiyu grasped Xie Yanniang's little hand, rubbed it in the palm, and asked casually: "According to the young lady, what should I do?"

Xie Yanniang resisted the urge to withdraw her hand, endured the goosebumps all over her body, her small face was full of apprehension: "If the lord is sympathetic to the daughters of the people, can you not explain it to the public and just marry a daughter from Xie's family?"

As for which of the three daughters, Long Zhiyu did not say, the Xie family prepared first, no matter which one gets married later, Master Xie will not lose.

In this way, Xie Ruitong and Xie Churou will not come to make trouble for themselves, but kill two birds with one stone.

Long Zhiyu smiled, and finally let go of his hand: "You are such a naughty girl, so I can answer you."

To declare to the outside world that they want to marry, but not even mention who they are marrying, is simply nonsense.

However, he found it extremely interesting, as if he had secretly hidden a treasure, but people didn't know what it was.

Listening to the tone, Long Zhiyu agreed, and Xie Yanniang was relieved.

"Then is it time for the prince to send someone to Xie's mansion to mention it to daddy?" She cautiously probed, for fear that the man would change his mind and not send her back to Xie's house.

Long Zhiyu thought she was eager to go out, but was amused by Xie Yanniang, and stretched out his hand to pinch her tender cheek: "No hurry, after I send Qiu'er back tomorrow, I'll report it myself."

A cry of "Qiu'er" made her feel chilly all over, Xie Yanniang had to pretend to be happy and smiled.

The delicate hand feels good, Long Zhiyu squeezed it a few more times, and saw that Xie Yanniang's cheeks were a little red, so he let go of his hand.

With such delicate skin, a little force will leave red marks, if it is on the fair and delicate body, what kind of graceful marks will be left?
Thinking of this, Long Zhiyu's eyes darkened, staring at Xie Yanniang feeling a little surprised.

Apart from the supreme position, it was the first time that he had desire and attachment for other things, as if there was a voice in his heart telling him that he must firmly hold Xie Yanniang in his palm, otherwise she would run away!

Xie Yanniang got her wish, her appetite whetted, and she added half a bowl of rice for the first time.

Ke Lin was Long Zhiyu's confidant, and he had heard that this girl was about to become a side concubine, so he smiled and congratulated her.

She thought that Xie Yanniang was eating so happily because she was going to become the half master of the palace.

This is human nature, the Xie family is still a merchant after all, being able to climb up to the fifteenth prince is simply a good thing that the ancestral grave is smoking.

Xie Yanniang ate too much, she lay on the soft couch feeling drowsy, inadvertently saw Ke Xin's eyes, it was too complicated for people to ignore, she asked: "Ke Xin and Ke Yu will follow me back to Xie's house ?"

Ke Lin replied: "They have just entered the mansion, and they haven't learned all the rules. It stands to reason that they can't leave at will, let alone serve the girl personally. If the girl is neglected, the master will never let her go lightly."

The implication is that Long Zhiyu is not willing to let him go.

Xie Yanniang was a little puzzled, what on earth did the man want to keep such two girls?
The most indispensable thing in the palace is maids. Could it be that Long Zhiyu wants to cultivate more confidants?
In her opinion, it was a bit of a fuss, and it was too risky for someone to kidnap a few young girls from outside just to cultivate confidantes?
If someone finds out, Long Zhiyu may be covered in fishy fish, and he will not be able to wash it off.

Xie Yanniang asked casually: "When I return to Xie's Mansion, will Ke Xin and Ke Yu follow the prince back to the Palace to serve?"

"Everything is decided by the master alone, and the slaves don't know." Ke Lin's mouth was tight enough, and she couldn't find out anything, so she couldn't help being a little discouraged.
