"The general said he would come over tonight. I have already conveyed the letter, so I won't disturb Miss Xia." After that, he left.
"The general came to see my boss, right? It's about going to the capital?" Si Ji said as he pushed open the door of Liuju Courtyard.
Xia Jin walked in and looked at the back of Si Ji who was busy entering the house to pack things. She couldn't help but secretly thought: Fortunately, Zhang Ma didn't follow her back...
Otherwise, with her fiery temperament, she would have to push Xia Jin to take a bath!
However, after Xia Jin's persuasion in the past few days, she has gradually changed her goal from 'let Xia Jin become a general's wife or a general's concubine' to 'make a fortune with Xia Jin!'
Xia Jin was very pleased!
In the evening, Lin Ziyi came as promised, Xia Jin sat quietly, and Lin Ziyi sat opposite Xia Jin.
On the table are eight-treasure duck, braised pork, and tofu soup.
The braised pork melts in your mouth, sweet but not greasy! The tofu soup is tender, white and smooth, sweet and delicious! The eight-treasure duck is fragrant and the meat is tender!
I am amazed by Xia Jin’s cooking skills every time!
He knew very little about Xia Jin. He only knew that she was a dancer, but he didn't know if she had any family members.
Thinking of this, he asked: "Where is your hometown? Do you still have family members?"
Xia Jin raised her eyes and looked at Lin Ziyi who was eating elegantly. It had to be said that he looked very good while eating. The dim candlelight seemed to put a filter on him, making the picture softer.
"Jin'er has no family anymore..."
After saying that, Xia Jin only felt her heart tightening. It must be the instinct of this body...
"You can treat this place as your home from now on... I mean, no one lives here, so it's empty even if it's empty!"
"Do you know about Fairy Scarlet Flame?" Lin Ziyi asked,
"Everyone in Wangxi Town is talking about this now, and I know something about it." Xia Jin's heart was lifted.
"You were also in the God of Food Hall that day when the Four Gamblers attempted to burn down the God of Food. Did you hear anything?" Lin Ziyi looked into Xia Jin's eyes, not missing any change in expression on her face.
Xia Jin looked at him with clear eyes and a steady voice:
"I slept deeply that day and didn't hear anything. But when I opened the door the next day, I saw some dry firewood at the door."
Lin Ziyi frowned, thoughtfully.
After dinner, Lin Ziyi left Liuju. Early the next morning, a carriage stopped at the door of Liuju, coming to take Xia Jin to the capital.
Xia Jin went up with Si Ji, and her luggage only brought two sets of clothes and daily necessities. She had an important purpose in going to the capital this time, and that was to resolve her slavery!
In the more than a month since the opening of the Food God Hall, Xia Jin has saved a thousand taels of silver, which is enough to go to the Personnel Bureau to change her slave status to a citizen status, but there is still one condition, which is to buy a courtyard!
Also, if you have the chance, you must go and meet that scumbag and seek justice for the original person!
Five days later, the General's Mansion in Beijing.
Lin Ziyi was coming back today. Butler Luo had been waiting at the door early in the morning. When he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, his eyes lit up.
"Hurry and inform the old lady that the general is back!"
The servant ran fast, shouting:
"Old lady, the general is back, the general is back!"
The old lady who was sitting in the hall waiting quickly picked up her crutches and stood up!
"Hurry and help me over!" The smile on her face couldn't stop, and her heart that had been hanging finally fell back into her stomach.
"Old lady, just wait here for Zi Yi to come and say hello!" Mrs. Sun persuaded.
"I wonder what kind of person that woman named Xia Jin is?"
These words reminded the old lady that if it was some vulgar woman from the land of fireworks, it would be better to explain it clearly, but after thinking about it, a dancer would not be much better.
The sound of footsteps was approaching, and Lin Ziyi was walking towards the hall.
"My grandson pays homage to his grandmother." Lin Ziyi kowtowed and saluted.
The old lady held him up with both hands, and saw that he was safe and sound, with a look of relief on her face.
Ever since Lin Ziyi's father died in the war, the old lady had been uneasy every time Lin Ziyi went on an expedition. She could only feel relieved when she saw Lin Ziyi come back safely.
Turning his eyes to look at the woman standing outside, he saw that Xia Jin was well-behaved, not wearing the heavy makeup of those dancers, and she was dressed simply and elegantly.
"She is Xia Jin, right?"
Xia Jin felt blessed, and she raised her eyes to look at the old lady. She was an old woman wearing a vermilion double-breasted embossed robe with silver hair, looking at her kindly.
"Good luck to you, old lady!"
Seeing that Xia Jin behaved calmly, without any stage fright, but with a certain temperament in her eyebrows and eyes, without any charm of a dancer, the old lady couldn't help but nodded.
"I heard that you cured Ziyi's anorexia?" the old lady asked.
"The general likes to eat Jin'er food. Jin'er is lucky."
Xia Jin looks calm and gentle on the surface, but in her heart she desperately wants to leave. What's going on with this sense of déjà vu when she goes home to meet her parents-in-law?
Xia Jinke didn't feel at all that she was Lin Ziyi's woman, and it was really uncomfortable to be stared at like this.
Let me go quickly!
"Mother Lin, please arrange for Jin'er to stay in Changle Yuan for the time being." The old lady spoke.
Xia Jin couldn't help but give a thumbs up in her heart, "Old lady, I give you a thumbs up!"
Nanny Lin walked towards Xia Jin.
"Miss Xia, please."
Nanny Lin took Xia Jin to Changle Courtyard, came to the door, and said:
"Miss Xia is a slave, right?"
Xia Jin lowered her eyes and said to herself, "Why are you asking this question when you know it? I am a slave, aren't you? Are you trying to catch me so that you can bully me?"
She rolled her eyes in her heart, but on her face, Xia Jin said lightly: "Yes."
"Slave status can never have any status. It's hard for the old lady to say this, but you have to understand it yourself, understand?" said Nanny Lin.
Xia Jin looked at her shoes and said to herself: It seems like no one cares about your general, and it seems that it's not your turn to say this, right? However, I don't remember the villain's faults, and I don't care about him. After all,
The purpose of coming here this time is to eliminate the slave status. If you can keep a low profile, keep a low profile.
"Jin'er knows."
"As long as you are self-aware, the general is engaged and will not fall in love with you. Although I don't know what means you used to cure the general's anorexia, but this cannot be used as a bargaining chip for you to marry into the general's mansion.
You have to remember one thing clearly!" Nanny Lin reminded.
Xia Jin was stunned for a moment, did the financial owner have a marriage contract?
That’s great! This way it will be easier to get rid of the identity of a foreigner!
"Take care of yourself!"
Xia Jin had a smile on her face, "I know!"
Nanny Lin had a strange look on her face. She didn't understand why Xia Jin was so happy. Then she thought about it, this woman is not simple. It's useless to provoke the general like this. She must be here for the position of the general's wife!
