C127 (2/2)
Lin Shu leaned on the brick bed alone and listened to the rain falling on the plantains. She felt at ease, this was the second time that she felt that her rebirth was meaningful, the first time was when she saved her mother's life … It was as if all the paths in this world were moving in a good direction, and that things would eventually get better and better.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. There was nothing to pass the time on the manor. After a day's journey, he was tired and rested early.
However, just as she fell asleep in a daze, a clamor came from outside. It was extremely noisy.
Lin Shu could not help but raise her voice: ”Actinin Qin, Actinin Qin, what is going on outside?”
Actinin Qin, who was on guard duty at night, replied and rushed out, after a few minutes, he returned, ”Miss, there are people outside who want to stay the night, Old Madam She said that this is a private manor, not an inn, she told them to find another place, but seeing that those people do not seem to be easy to talk to, Old Lady She is arguing with them outside.”
”Then let them stay!” Lin Shu replied indifferently, ”I thought something big happened, but there's no store in the village today, where does anyone want to find a place to stay? Anyway, this manor had many rooms! But you should go and tell them that you have to leave tomorrow morning! ”
Although there were guards of the Lian Family here, there were not many of them. Those were transferred from the Yangzhou, after the mother and daughter pair were safe, Lin Shu chose to keep a few, and the rest returned to the Yangzhou. There were also a lot of places where her uncle needed servants.
Gradually, the clamor outside subsided.
Lin Shu slept soundly until dawn, and when she was about to eat breakfast, Old Madam She angrily came in, ”Miss, tell me, tell me, what is this all about? You clearly told them last night that you had to leave this morning, but they said that the rain was too heavy and that you couldn't leave today. Let's see if you can make things easier for us and wait for the rain to subside before we leave. ”
”Normally, I would have agreed to it if I had agreed, but now that Miss is here, with such a large group of people, what would I do if I were to run into Miss?” ”I just said it's inconvenient, but those people said they want to come in and apologize to Miss personally. They even said how much silver you want, just directly state the price. Look, what's going on here?”
Lin Shu frowned, when she walked out of the door today, she swept her eyes across the crowd. There were more than twenty people there, and all of them were dressed in black, it was obvious that they were practitioners. It was best not to get into conflict with these kinds of people. ”Then we have to agree with them. At the latest, we can leave this afternoon. Otherwise, don't blame me for starting to chase them away.”
Old Lady He let out a long sigh and left.
After Lin Shu finished her breakfast, she heard the sound of a little girl coming from the corridor, ”That Young Noble is really handsome, he looks better than anyone in our entire village. He even has a jade pendant by his waist, you can tell that he is the son of a rich family!”
”That's right!” Then another voice came in. It sounded like an older voice, ”Tsk tsk, this is the first time I've seen such a handsome person in my life. Not to mention that the young master's life is good, even the guards beside him are good … ”I heard that he came out of the capital …”
The older men also knew how heavy they were, and knew that the young man was far from being able to reach them, but the guards were still able to give some thought to him.
Hearing that, Lin Shu could not help but burst out laughing, ”Is that person really that handsome?”
Her standards were always extremely high. In her previous life, her husband Shao Shengping was the famous handsome brother.
Even Actinin Qin could not help but nod her head and speak in a low voice: ”It seems to be, last night when I went out as a servant, I only caught a glimpse of it from afar, my eyebrows were pitch black, and my eyes were extremely bright, like the stars in the sky, even my facial features are especially prominent, and can even be compared … Better than being a County Prince of the Duke Chengan Palace! ”
Lin Shu naturally would not doubt Actinin Qin's eyes. After following her for a few years, Actinin Qin had seen a lot of things, but there were very few people in the capital who were better off than Shao Shengping. A handsome face appeared in her mind, but when she thought about it again, it was impossible. Why was this popinjay here?
She stood up. ”I'm going over to take a look.”
Actinin Qin was actually shocked, ”Then, how can we do that... If Madam knows about this, I'll definitely skin you alive. ”
Lin Shu ignored everything and walked out. Actinin Qin had no choice but to follow behind her.
Lin Shu sneaked into the corridor under the guest room and peeked through the window. The man was fighting with her arms behind his back, like a pine tree, and a man dressed as a scholar said something to her. He turned with a frown, and the familiar, unfamiliar face caught her eye.
”Master Ningguogongfuda Lu Jingran? It really is him! ” Lin Shu muttered to herself, she could not understand, ”Just that, how did he come here?” In fact, when she said that the person who came was a beautiful man, she could already faintly guess what was going on. Even though he was young, he was better than Shao Shengping, and she was afraid that Lu Jingran was the only one who came.
