Luoyang Brocade Chapter 242: Favorite (1)
After returning home, Ling Wuye told Sun everything about what happened today.
Sun felt sullen and immediately called Ling Jingyan over and scolded her hard: "What did I tell you before going out? I told you to be quiet and honest and not to cause trouble. You promised well." , was forgotten in the blink of an eye. A mother and her son kneeling down to beg for mercy, what does that have to do with you? Who told you to talk too much?"
Ling Jingyan defended herself without confidence: "The mother and son were in rags, kowtowing and begging for mercy. They looked really pitiful. That Zhang Jian looked like a rich man, so of course I thought he was bullying people. That's why I came here Go and ask..."
"You didn't ask the previous question, you went to fight the injustice!" Mrs. Sun snorted softly.
There is no better daughter than a mother. Although Sun didn't witness it with his own eyes, what he said was accurate.
Ling Jingyan fell silent.
Ms. Sun tapped Ling Jingyan's forehead with her finger: "You just can't get rid of this impulsive and impetuous problem. Fortunately, Mr. Zhang is broad-minded and doesn't care about you."
Ling Jingyan couldn't help but protest: "Mom, that Zhang Jian shamelessly asked me to treat him to lunch on the pretext that his wallet was stolen and he had no money. After dinner, he even said he would visit Ling's house in a few days. ! How can he be so broad-minded? He is just a shameless person who just eats and drinks!"
After hearing these words, Mrs. Sun was not angry, but became interested: "I heard from your fifth uncle that this Zhang Jian is the son of the Minister of Justice. He is eighteen years old and has not yet been married. You have also seen him with your own eyes. Okay, what does he look like? Is he handsome?"
Zhang Jian’s face flashed through Ling Jingyan’s mind again. He curled his lips against his will: "I'm just ordinary, not good-looking at all."
Sun smiled and glanced at Ling Jingyan, not taking her words to heart at all. Calculate secretly.
It would be fine if Zhang Jian didn't come to visit. If he did come as a guest in a few days, she would have to see it with her own eyes.
……
After the fifteenth day, the end of the year quickly came to an end.
At this time of year, Sun is the busiest. In the past, her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jiang, helped, but now that Mrs. Jiang is pregnant, she needs to take care of her baby without worrying. Sun is alone. I have to be busy preparing New Year's gifts for relatives and friends, and I have to be busy taking care of the things for the New Year in the house. There are still a lot of chores to take care of.
Sun was too busy to do anything, so she simply assigned some trivial tasks to Ling Jingyan. Ling Jingshu said: "You two are fifteen after the New Year. It's time to learn to take care of housework. Ayan. In the warehouse Things must be registered one by one, and you should check them every day to avoid making mistakes. Ah Shu, please help take care of the things in the sewing room. I will ask the steward to come over to see you later. If there is anything you two don’t understand No, ask me again."
Ling Jingyan and Ling Jingshu agreed in unison.
It’s boring to be idle all day, so it’s good to have something to do to kill time.
There are about ten embroiderers in the sewing room, and they are busy making winter cotton clothes every day. The steward in the sewing room is a soft-spoken embroiderer in her thirties. Worked very thoughtfully and neatly.
After Ling Jingshu took over the errand of the sewing room, she got started in just two days and was able to do it with ease.
Ling Jingyan had a headache after taking over the warehouse.
Several warehouses are filled with gold, silver utensils, clothing, medicinal materials and other things. Registration should be organized one by one by category. Some items are fragile and breakable, so be careful when moving them. Every time you tidy up the warehouse, it is inevitable to break some things.
Ling Jingyan has a careless temper, so she can't help but feel a little impetuous when she takes care of this matter.
Soon, a servant broke two of a set of very precious blue and white porcelain bowls while moving the porcelain in the warehouse. The two boys were excusing each other. The argument couldn't stop and it came to Ling Jingyan's face.
Ling Jingyan felt a headache after hearing this. Unable to make a decision for a moment, he asked the maid to find Ling Jingshu.
"Cousin Yan, what's going on?" Ling Jingshu looked at her and asked with a smile.
Ling Jingyan told the whole story, and then sighed with a headache: "No one else was present at the time, just the two of them. They all said that the other party accidentally broke the porcelain bowl, and they were noisy for a long time, so I asked I don’t understand.”
Ling Jingshu raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly: "This matter is actually easy to solve. Just don't say anything for now. I'll ask a few questions and it will become clearer."
Seeing that Ling Jingshu was confident, Ling Jingyan couldn't help but open her eyes curiously.
……
Ling Jingshu stepped forward and looked down at the two boys kneeling on the ground: "Who broke these two porcelain bowls?"
"He was the one who broke the words I replied to my cousin."
"Miss Cousin, please don't believe what he says. He clearly broke the porcelain bowl, but he just blamed it on the slave."
Unexpectedly, you and I started arguing again.
Ling Jingshu's face turned cold and she sneered: "You two cunning slaves are making a lot of noise here and don't even pay attention to your master. There is no need to ask about this matter. The two broken bowls, you two Each one will pay one."
One of the two boys had a look of grievance on his face and kept shouting that he was wronged, but the other's eyes flashed with joy and he soon started shouting too.
Ling Jingshu was too lazy to look at the two of them anymore and said to Ling Jingyan: "Cousin Yan, the matter is already very clear. It was this naughty slave who broke the bowl."
The slender finger pointed at the bluffing boy.
She deliberately tried to test her just now. When the boy who broke the porcelain bowl heard that he was only responsible for half of the compensation, he felt happy and showed his signs.
Ling Jingyan also understood at this time, and angrily stepped forward and cursed: "What a cunning and cunning slave! If Ah Shu hadn't come over, I almost would have been deceived. Someone, drag him down and beat him. Ten boards will make his memory long."
The boy was dragged out amidst cries.
Ling Jingyan felt a lot calmer~IndoMTL.com~ glanced at Ling Jingshu with admiration, but also felt a little frustrated and annoyed: "Ah Shu, am I stupid! I can't even handle this little thing."
Ling Jingshu smiled and reassured: "How could it be? You were just in a hurry and didn't think of it."
"You don't need to comfort me. I know that I am far less intelligent and clever than you." Ling Jingyan said dullly.
Ling Jingshu held Ling Jingyan's hand and smiled slightly: "Cousin Yan, in fact, I have always envied you. You are lively, cute, pure, kind and lovable. Your uncles and aunts love you very much, and so do your cousins. Treat you very well."
Whether a person is happy or not has little to do with whether he is smart or not.
She is burdened with a heavy past and hatred. She cannot show off her beauty even if her revenge is not avenged.
Ling Jingyan is the truly happy one. Live happily every day, but the biggest worry is what clothes and jewelry to wear tomorrow.
Such a leisurely and comfortable life is out of reach for her. (To be continued.)
