Comparing the gift list, Lin Wanwan prepared various return gifts, all of which were three points thicker than the gift list. She prepared them according to the modern logic of return gifts. As for whether this was the case in the Tang Dynasty, she really didn't know. This kind of detailed history The problem is, it is difficult to find historical information.
While Lin Wanwan was busy in the house, a strange young man walked in from the yard.
Kunlun immediately stepped forward to stop him and glared fiercely at the visitor. Huanong stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?"
The visitor bowed hurriedly, showed a flattering smile and said: "I am Shan Xinrong from Xiaoxi Town. I am good brothers with Lin Mengli. I am here today to visit the noble lady."
Huanong said strangely: "You are Mr. Meng Li's brother, just go to him. Why do you come to visit our lady? My wife does not meet people casually."
Upon hearing this, Shan Xinrong took out some money from his sleeve and was about to put it into Huanong's hand. Huanong quickly stepped away and said angrily: "What are you doing? Go away."
Kunlun, who had been watching eagerly from the side for a long time, immediately stepped forward, picked up Shan Xinrong's collar with one hand, and threw him out of the yard in a few steps.
Seeing the commotion here, Lin Mengbo's family next door immediately walked out and shouted coldly: "Who are you? Why did you come to our clan? Get out of here!"
Anyway, no matter who it is, the person who will be thrown out by Kunlun must also be thrown out of Linjiazhuang.
"Who, who is causing trouble?"
"Ouch!" Shan Xinrong got up from the ground, not even bothering to dust himself off. Faced with the strong men from Linjiazhuang who had gathered around him in an instant, he shouted loudly, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, really misunderstanding! I am Lin Mengli's My friend, I’m here to give him a New Year’s gift today! Really!”
"Do you know Meng Li? What does that have to do with Master Lin? Why didn't you go to Meng Li's house but Kunlun threw him out of the yard?"
"I think you have a sinister look, so you are not a good person!"
"Get out of here!"
"No, no, no, no, I'm not a bad person, I, I, I, I'm really that one..." Shan Xinrong was so anxious that he stuttered. The more he stuttered, the more he was beaten. He couldn't speak clearly. He must have a guilty conscience.
While everyone was kicking and beating, Lin Mengli was called over by the most clever Tie Zhu of Lin Mengjin's family.
"Uncle, that's the man in front. Hurry up. He was thrown out by Master Lin's Kunlun slave."
Lin Mengli was furious when he heard what Lin Tiezhu relayed to him. This Shan Xinrong was so unreliable. He had already said that Mianji would not sell takeout anymore and asked him to go back. He actually said on the surface that he was leaving, but in fact He went directly to Lin Wanwan's house, which was simply inexplicable.
Shan Xinrong was driven away and ran away with his head in his arms. When he saw Lin Mengli's figure, he immediately let out a "oow", just like a beaten native dog seeing an owner who can support him.
"Brother Meng Li, come here quickly and tell them that I am not a bad person!"
Lin Mengli ran over and said angrily: "Why did you offend our Master Lin? How dare you come directly to the door?"
Shan Xinrong quickly grabbed his arm and hid behind him, shouting: "I haven't seen Mrs. Lin at all, how can I offend her? I just want to visit."
Lin Mengbo scolded: "You are a bitch, are you worthy of visiting our Master Lin? Have you applied for assassination? Have you been invited? If you dare to break in, I'll be fine if I don't beat you to death!"
Lin Mengli did not help him, but grabbed him and said: "You told me to go back, and this is how you went back? I already told you that I won't sell noodles, but you still don't give up, and you dare to go directly to find it?" We, Wan Niang, don’t you understand that you are a foreigner?”
Shan Xinrong quickly apologized: "Yes, yes, it's all my fault, but I was thrown out by the Kunlun slave before I even saw Master Lin. How could I have the chance to offend her?"
Lin Mengjin said coldly: "Isn't that considered offending if you just walk in without handing me your name? The door of Mrs. Lin's courtyard is open only for people like us. You, a foreigner, dare to come here casually."
"It's true that I was reckless. This is my fault. You are right to fight and scold me." Shan Xinrong did not dare to argue any more. The group of people in front of him were all glaring like kings, and they would attack each other if they disagreed.
He looked like he was being beaten, and he could only give in with all his strength.
However, it was indeed his fault in the first place. He would not act so randomly in Xiaoxi Town. The reason why he did not follow the etiquette in Linjiazhuang was because he thought that in a remote and remote place, there were no rules.
He just didn't expect that a place like this would house Golden Phoenix. Originally, he only regarded Lin Wanwan as a businesswoman doing some small business. After all, Lin Mengli, who was of the same clan as Lin Wanwan, was just a waiter at the inn.
The batch of noodle base that Shan Xinrong bought from Lin Mengli before was now used up. He approached Lin Mengli several times, hoping to continue buying more at a higher price, but Lin Mengli rejected him.
Now Shan Xinrong relies on the leftover old flour to ferment when making steamed cakes, and the effect is far less than before, so he really wants to buy it. But since Linjiazhuang is already selling steamed cakes, Lin Wanwan will naturally not bother with simple things anymore.
The noodle base was taken out, and she didn't lack the money.
Shan Xinrong, who failed to buy the secret recipe, not only lost the New Year gift, but also received a beating in vain, and left Linjiazhuang in despair.
After watching him walk away, Lin Mengli came to Lin Wanwan's house with some embarrassment and apologized to her.
"Wan Niang, what happened today has frightened you, and it's all my fault. If I had known he was acting so randomly, I would have escorted him out."
Lin Wanwan had already heard the whole story from Huanong's mouth, and said with a smile: "It's just a small matter, Brother Meng Li, don't worry about it."
Now she doesn't collect these by herself at all. She just acts as a time and space thief and buys finished products from modern times. They are of good quality and convenient. However, what happened today made her think that this thing can also be used as a gift back then.
She immediately prepared a bottle each of baking powder and alkaline noodles, and placed them in the New Year's gift pile for her grandma.
Old Chen pretended to be deaf and mute throughout the whole process and hid in the side room and never came out. Reading the master's jokes was not what a qualified slave should do.
In his opinion, it was the fault of having too few servants. There was no gate, and the courtyard door was open, so it was inevitable that outsiders would break in. If it was a real aristocratic home, how could they let people break into the house casually?
Well, this kind of thing only happens in the countryside.
No matter how rich and noble he is, he who grew up in the countryside still cannot be on the stage. Alas, it was a big mistake for Mr. Xiao to get married to Mr. Lin. The present Mr. Lin is no longer what he used to be.
Lin Wanwan naturally doesn't care about what a slave thinks. She just cares about living freely. What other people's opinions are important to her.
Anyway, the people in Linjiazhuang are all on her side unconditionally. It is the tradition of the Hou Tao and Lin clan to protect one's shortcomings. You can make a lot of noise in your own clan, but you must never let outsiders bully you.
