Chapter 215: The First Meeting of Father and Daughter
After Lin Zhu finished eating, he drank tea while waiting for Feng Yuanbo's arrival.
Although the place where Lin Zhu was located was remote, she could see the first floor from her seat. When the boy shouted out the silver reward, she recalled with some humor that there seemed to be a similar broken bridge in a certain TV series.
At this time, some diners in the dining room on the second floor were also curious about who could be so generous, just to reward a cook, and actually pay five taels. They all talked about it.
"Mr. Lin, which family does this generous guest belong to?" Lin Zhu's ears suddenly heard the voices of the guests in the booth next door.
"Haha, it's just some dude from some family making a boring bet, it's not worth mentioning." Mr. Lin's contemptuous laughter reached Lin Zhu's ears.
Hearing this, Lin Zhu couldn't help but frowned. The profession of cook did not seem to be very noble in ancient times, but the status of scholars, farmers, merchants, and craftsmen was not the lowest. It was impossible for rural farmers to come into this restaurant. Of course, Lin Zhu
Except for Zhu, although she calls herself a rural farmer, she is actually a very wealthy farmer, so the person speaking must be an official, so she sounded so disdainful.
"The Lin family has strict upbringing, so of course there won't be such a ostentatious person." The voice from before once again flattered Mr. Lin.
"Brother Fang is so complimentary." Mr. Lin seemed humble, but there was pride in his voice. Then the two chatted about some trivial matters. Although Lin Zhu didn't understand what they were talking about, he could hear that
Third Master Lin and Brother Fang are both Beijing officials, but Third Master Lin's errand job is one or two levels higher than that of Brother Fang, although they are not in the same yamen. It seems that Mr. Fang has something to ask Third Master Lin to do.
.
The arrival of the boy again interrupted Lin Zhu's eavesdropping.
"Sir, this is Master Wang's exclusive secret lotus seed, lily and red bean porridge. It is specially prepared for you. Please give it a try." The young man said with a smile. Such a generous guest must be well served.
"Thank you so much, Master Wang." Lin Zhu smiled and nodded. He looked at the bowl of secret porridge in front of him. It was fragrant, and seemed to have a special rice fragrance, which made Lin Zhu feel very familiar.
"Sir, this is made from special white rice. The casual guests have no chance to eat it." The boy said proudly. The owner worked hard to get this special white rice. There is a limit of fifty bowls per day, but the supply still exceeds the demand.
.
"Really? That's such an honor." Lin Zhu looked surprised. But she didn't think so in her heart. She said in her heart, this is what my sister eats every day.
Lin Zhu tasted it in front of the boy. "It's very good. Please thank Master Wang for me. I will definitely come to support you in the future."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the boy left Lin Zhu's seat. Just as he was about to go downstairs, he was stopped by Lin Fang and his wife who accidentally overheard him talking to Lin Zhu.
"Man, come here." The man named Fang called him.
"What are your orders to the two guests?" The young man walked respectfully to Lin Fang and his wife's seat.
"I've always heard people say that Zuixianlou has wonderful porridge. I'm here today because of its fame. Can you help me arrange it?" Although the man named Fang's tone was polite, it always made the boy feel that there was an unknown meaning in it.
"I'm sorry, gentlemen. Today's secret porridge has been sold out. Please come early tomorrow." The boy bowed to the two of them. Although the guests here come from all walks of life, they have one thing in common.
I just don't dare to cause trouble here. Everyone in the capital knows that Prince Qi opened this Zuixian Tower.
Although Prince Qi doesn't care about anything, he is the closest brother of the current emperor. Everyone will give him some face. He will not cause trouble here, otherwise he will be left with nothing to eat.
However, there are many noble people at the emperor's feet, and Zuixianlou also has a desire to be kind to others. From the shopkeeper to the waiters, they are all very polite to the guests, so the waiters try their best to be polite and avoid making mistakes.
"Could it be that the guest officer just now has it but we don't have it? What's the point of this?" The man surnamed Fang pointed at Lin Zhu's seat.
"Haha, sir, please forgive me. The porridge for that guest was a farewell gift from Master Wang. It is no longer available. I apologize to the two guests." The boy bowed again.
"Hey, it seems that the man next door is the one who rewarded me with five taels of silver just now. Mr. Lin, I didn't expect that she is right behind you and me. Why don't we go and see her together?" The man surnamed Fang seemed to be a little drunk.
He had a bit of a stubborn temper. He didn't want to cause trouble to Lin Zhu, so he tried to persuade her, but to no avail.
Mr. Lin waved his hand to the waiter and said, "It's okay. Mr. Fang just wants to make friends with that guy over there. He has no ill intentions."
The young man couldn't stop him, so Lin Fang and his two men broke into Lin Zhu's booth.
"I'm so sorry, sir. These two people insisted on coming over, but I didn't stop them." The young man said to Lin Zhu in shame. He looked at Lin Fang and Lin Fang who were already stunned. He was smart and hurried downstairs.
Went to see the shopkeeper's messenger.
It was many years later that Lin Zhu remembered this past event and realized that the first meeting with his biological father was so speechless.
Third Master Lin, Lin Shurui, is Lin Zhu's biological father, but no one knows it now.
Mr. Lin and the man surnamed Fang were a little uneasy when they saw that there was a little girl in the booth. Who would be so brave to eat here alone?
"Which family are you from? Where are your elders?" Mr. Lin asked with a frown.
"Who are you?" Lin Zhu raised his eyes and looked at the two people in front of him who looked like they were officials.
"Two guests, what's the matter?" The shopkeeper received the report from the young man and hurriedly went up to the second floor. "Isn't this Mr. Lin? Just now, the man didn't recognize Taishan and didn't think about Mr. Third. Please don't do it.
Sorry." The shopkeeper hurriedly raised his hand to Mr. Lin.
"Haha, I didn't know that Mr. Lin was here. I'm really sorry. The waiter asked the kitchen to make two bowls of special dishes for Mr. Lin. He just said it was me and went quickly." The shopkeeper glared at the little boy who was standing aside.
Dude.
"Shopkeeper, what's going on?" At this time, Feng Yuanbo and Yang Zhongren had already finished buying the cattle and returned to Zuixian Tower to find Lin Zhu.
"You're not," the shopkeeper couldn't remember Feng Yuanbo's name for a moment, but remembered that he came with Lu Mingtao's subordinate Wu Ping'an to invite the master from Zuixianlou to handle the table.
"The shopkeeper is so polite," Feng Yuanbo said as he bowed his hands to the shopkeeper. "What do you, the shopkeeper, and these two want to do here?" The implication was that if you have nothing to do, leave quickly and don't be an eyesore here.
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay." The shopkeeper already remembered that even Lu Mingtao from Muyue Trading Company supported this person and lent the masters from Zuixianlou for a day. For Lu Mingtao's sake, he couldn't do anything to them.
So he smiled and invited Lin Fang and the others back to their seats.
Mr. Lin didn't understand the ins and outs of the matter for a while, but his eyes swept across Lin Zhu's face, and suddenly he felt that the feeling was very familiar. He had already reached the exit of the lounge, but he turned around by mistake and looked at
Feng Yuanbo asked, "Are you her father?"
"Is there anything wrong?" Feng Yuanbo asked, but did not answer Mr. Lin's words directly. However, his words made Mr. Lin feel inexplicably relaxed. He had misunderstood.
"No, it's nothing." After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Girl, are you okay?" Feng Yuanbo hurried to Lin Zhu's side and looked at her carefully.
"It's okay, they just came in." Lin Zhu wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. She was a little strange about what Mr. Lin just asked, and she couldn't understand what he just meant.
"Uncle Bo, let's eat first." The dishes were already served, and Feng Yuanbo arrived just in time.
"Okay." Feng Yuanbo has been busy for a long time and is now very hungry. Since Lin Zhu is fine, he will start eating first.
"Girl, I found five more cows of the kind you wanted, so there are ten cows in total, seven cows and three bulls. They were all bought. Together with the ten good cows our farm needs, it cost a total of three
One hundred and fifty taels. It has been registered with the government." After Feng Yuanbo finished eating, he reported the situation of buying cattle to Lin Zhu.
"That's great." Lin Zhu came back to her senses from the doubts Mr. Lin had just brought to her, "Then when can it be sent to Wangcun?"
"It's the same as the food note, in three days." Those cattle dealers were all recording their names at the government office, and they didn't dare to break the promise. Besides, cattle are very important materials, and no one would dare to touch them.
"Then let's go back together. We'll go see Sister Zhen and Aunt Yu tomorrow. After that, we'll buy some things, and the things in the capital will be almost done." Lin Zhu thought for a moment. After saying that, Feng Yuanbo seemed to be there.
There are things you want to say but it’s not convenient for you to say them.
"Uncle Bo, do you have anything else to do?" Lin Zhu asked.
"It's nothing serious. I just wanted to buy some books. It's time for Master Fu Dou'er to become enlightened, and it's time for Rong Xuan to buy some new books. I also need to buy some pens, inks, papers and inkstones." Feng Yuanbo replied.
"Yes, I forgot about it." Lin Zhu patted his head. "Then let's go in the afternoon. I also want to find some books to read." Lin Zhu has always read some travel notes, story books and the like, although
These books were all idle books, but even Aunt Chang couldn't do anything to Lin Zhu when she was there, so she let her go.
After the two reached an agreement, they got up and left Zuixian Tower.
When Mr. Lin felt that he still couldn't let go, he went to Lin Zhu's private seat to see it, but it was already empty. After he returned home, he did not mention what he saw and thought in Zuixian Tower to anyone. He secretly sent
People went to ask Wang Yurou if he had returned to Beijing. After getting a negative answer, he was completely relieved.
It turned out that he felt that Lin Zhu gave him a feeling that was particularly similar to the temperament of his ex-wife Wang Yurou, and Lin Zhu's age also made him suspicious. He was a little uneasy. Wang Yurou's name was a taboo in the Lin family, and her children were in the Lin family.
It has long been forgotten. But Lin Zhu’s appearance, although only short-lived,
After taking a look, Lin Sanye was shocked. That's why he kept worrying. He didn't feel at ease until he found out that Wang Yurou had not returned to the capital. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come.
