Finest Servant

birthday? Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, but then he remembered. Brother Luo Yuan mentioned this to him, and he promised them that they would definitely go, but these days they went to Hangzhou and fought Tao Dongcheng again. There were so many things that they forgot for a while.

Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Miss Luo, don't worry, I will definitely go to congratulate the old birthday star. I didn't see Luo Yuan today, is he busy preparing?"

Luo Ning nodded and said, "Grandmother's 70th birthday, there are so many things to prepare for. My little brother was assigned to do something by daddy, and he was too busy to get away. If it wasn't for my book friend who sent a letter today, I'm afraid I would still be here at this time. busy at home."

Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "Because of my existence, you have the opportunity to be fair and slack. Does Miss Luo want to thank me?"

Luo Ning pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly, "Brother Lin, what you said is really interesting."

When Lin Wanrong saw her pink face and peach cheeks, her delicate face was like flowers, and her eyes were full of hope, she was very charming. His heart jumped twice, and he secretly thought, this little girl knows that I am not interested in her, but every time she sees me, she always smiles like this. A few times, are you trying to tease me on purpose? Motherfucker, my concentration is getting worse and worse. When I see a beautiful woman, I want to push it down. It's a sin.

Separated from Luo Ning, Lin Wanrong thought about it, the Luo Ning sister and brother had a good relationship with him, and the old Luo was also interesting, so he couldn't say that he had to prepare a generous gift. There were some small diamonds in exchange with Tavoni, so I gave them to the old man. Madam, let's get one, this little girl Luo Ning has made a profit. The old lady will definitely give the diamond to her precious granddaughter, which can be regarded as an indirect fulfillment of Luo Ning's little wish to own a diamond.

Early the next morning, Lin Wanrong was still sleeping, and the eldest lady sent someone to look for Lin Wanrong.

When you come to the hall. The young master and the eldest young lady were all dressed in new clothes and were waiting for him. When the eldest lady saw that he was still wearing the small hat of the Tsing Yi family, she couldn't help frowning, and said softly: "Today is the birthday of Lord Luo, why don't you change into new clothes?"

It turned out that the eldest lady and the young master were also invited. How could I have forgotten this, Lin Wanrong patted his head, hehe smiled and said: "I was originally a little housekeeper, it doesn't matter if I change my clothes or not. I have the eldest lady as a representative to show the beautiful and moving image of my Xiao family. That's enough. I'll be embarrassed if I dress up too well and steal your limelight."

"Disgusting." The eldest lady was shy and happy, and said softly.

Biao Young Master was rescued by Lin Sansan yesterday. Seeing that he is favored but not arrogant, and still maintains a hard and simple character, he can't help but pat him on the shoulder if he is happy, "Lin San. It's good, I finally don't have it. wrong person."

The eldest lady smiled and glanced at Lin San, thinking. You mess up your skills, so you can only deceive your cousin.

Young Master Biao and Lin San ride horses,

The eldest lady took the sedan chair, and the three of them went up to the Governor's Palace in a mighty manner.

Although Lin Wanrong is close to Luo Ning's sister and brother, she is no stranger to Luo Min. But this is also the first time I have come to the Governor's Palace. After walking a short distance, I saw a tall lintel, painted in vermilion. There are two mighty stone lions standing beside it, and above the main entrance, is a gilded plaque hanging high? ? Jinling Luofu.

Still far away from the mansion, the eldest lady got out of the soft sedan chair and urged the two of them, "Hurry up and dismount."

Lin Wanrong said inexplicably: "Miss, it's still a long way from the governor's palace, why did you dismount so early?"

The eldest lady glanced at him and said, "Aren't you literate and can't read by yourself?"

"What are you looking at?" Lin Wanrong was puzzled, and Young Master Biao was also at a loss.

The eldest lady said helplessly: "The plaque on the mansion of Lord Luo. It is a gift from the emperor's golden pen, and it is extremely honorable. Anyone who passes by here, the literati will get off the sedan chair, and the warrior will dismount. This is the rule. Why don't you even know this?"

Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh, "*, isn't that the two words inscribed by the emperor, it's even more effective than traffic lights?" He turned his head and looked around, and sure enough, those who came here to pray for the birthday were all dismounting from their sedan chairs and walking forward.

It's a big event for the provincial elders to celebrate their birthday. Which officials, big or small, in Jiangsu's territory would dare to slack off? Still not rushing to give a gift? When Lin Wanrong and the eldest lady were talking, there were a dozen or so officials who came and went, and all of them brought their family members to carry the birthday ceremonies, and they were majestic.

The eldest lady said softly, "Lin San, you beat Young Master Hou, and Lord Quan* Luo suppressed it. He has been very kind to my Xiao family. We must report it. This birthday ceremony can't be taken lightly."

The eldest lady took out a box of longevity peach noodles and a large sealed package from the soft sedan chair and handed it to Lin Wanrong: "You can put it away and hand it over to the door steward later."

The package was very heavy in his hand, but compared to other people's large boxes and small boxes, it was also insignificant. Lin Wanrong didn't know what was in it, he smiled, and followed the eldest lady and the young master, and walked towards the door.

Arriving at the gate, the eldest lady respectfully handed over the name thorn, and the master of ceremonies sang: "Jinling Xiao's family, a pair of He Shou Tao, a load of birthday noodles, ten bottles of perfume, and a hundred pieces of soap, I wish the ancestors blessings like the East Sea, Shoubi Nanshan."

Lin Wanrong was also shocked when she heard Shouyi. She didn't expect that this big package contained these photos, ten bottles of perfume, and a hundred pieces of soap. The total amount was close to 2,000 taels of silver, and they were all available in the market. The priceless things in the market, ***, Lao Luo made a big deal this time, as long as he sells it and earns three thousand taels of silver, it is easy.

The eldest lady pulled slightly, and Lin Wanrong woke up from the shock. Forget it, although Lao Luo was a bit of an adulterer, he was still a good official, and it was not bad for me. Let him earn the money.

The eldest lady said softly: "Lin San, what's wrong with you?" Lin Wanrong gave a thumbs up: "The eldest lady is shrewd and generous, and she really deserves to be a profiteer."

"Hate!" The eldest lady blushed, snorted softly, and walked into the door first.

The gift of perfume and soap at the birthday banquet is also due to what the eldest lady thought. In fact, Xiao Yuruo thought about these birthday rituals carefully. Others sent the land to jade and antiques, and one was a treasure. But the fragrance soap of the Xiao family is an exclusive secret recipe. It is famous all over Jiangsu and Zhejiang, even if you have money, you can't buy it. This birthday gift is not only unique, but also an advertisement for the Xiao family. Miss is really shrewd.

The three entered the door. Luo Min greeted her with a red face and said, "Miss Xiao, the old man has lost his welcome."

Luo Min, the first constitution of a province, a senior official of the border, how noble his status is, he actually came out to greet him in person, which gave the Xiao family enough face. The eldest lady was flattered and said: "How can the little girl be so talented, how dare you work the adult jade toes?"

Di Luo Yuan followed Luo Min, pulled Lin Wanrong and said with a smile: "Brother, you are here." Then he said to Guo Wuchang: "Brother Guo, long time no see. Please come in."

The three were welcomed into the courtyard. Luo Min's house was very spacious, and the courtyard was already full of tables. There are a large number of people, all large and small officials from various places. They were a little surprised to see that a merchant like the Xiao family was greeted by the governor and his son in person.

What was even more surprising was that Luo Min personally greeted the three young ladies and entered the main hall. There are only a dozen or so tables in the main hall, all of which are the most famous people in Jiangsu Province. The Xiao family is just a business place. How can we sit on an equal footing with them? Although the eldest has experienced many scenes, her business has always been looked down upon, and her contact with the officialdom is extremely limited. Now Mu Ran is sitting with so many high-ranking officials, and she feels a little uneasy.

Lin Wanrong pulled her sleeves and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, these people can't eat us." The eldest lady pursed her lips and smiled, her heart was much calmer, and she sat down.

Luo Yuan walked up to him and said, "Big brother. You are my big brother, and your identity is extraordinary. Please take your seat quickly."

Lin Wanrong shook his head and smiled and said, "I'm just a little family member of the Xiao family, what kind of identity do I have? It's enough to stand beside the eldest lady." Just kidding, if a little family member sits next to these people, he won't be taken by these people immediately. If the official land is divided into five horses, it will also cause trouble for Luo Min. Lin Wanrong is a smart person, so he should keep a low profile, standing behind the eldest lady and pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is his best choice.

There are many acquaintances in this hall. The first thing Lin Wanrong saw was Master Tao Yutao who had just met yesterday. Tao Yu was made in Suzhou, and he was at least the deputy hall in terms of rank. Of course, he was arranged to sit in the main hall. He glanced at Miss Xiao from time to time, his eyes were full of fire.

Another acquaintance was the young master Hou who was beaten. After a few days of not seeing him, the bruises on his face have dissipated, and he has regained his dignified appearance.

Hou Yuebai stared at Lin Wanrong fiercely, his teeth clenched, his eyes seemed to be spitting out fire, but unfortunately he was a weak scholar, no matter how he dared to get angry here. And he has a sense of fear in his heart for Lin Wanrong's sturdiness.

Lin Wanrong was impatient when he saw him staring at him and couldn't let go. Damn, didn't he just beat you up? He stared, and gave Hou Yuebai a fierce look, Hou Yuebai's face turned pale, and he hurriedly lowered his head. Seeing his cowardly appearance, Lin Wanrong snorted disdainfully, "Damn, you are a little white face, not even a woman."

Speaking of women, Lin Wanrong suddenly thought of Tao Wanying, who had stood out for Hou Yue several times. Although she was a woman, she had more backbone than this monkey. On the way back to Hangzhou, playing tricks on this little girl like that, I don't know what happened to this little girl? Wouldn't it be impossible to wipe the neck? Sin, sin, I didn't do anything, it wasn't my fault.

On the upper position of the table in the middle of the hall, there was a person sitting, with a dark face and thick eyebrows, and the imposing manner of a humble person. Cheng Ruinian, who had a relationship with Lin Wanrong several times, was standing beside him. Isn't this Cheng De? Lin Wanrong was startled and said, Cheng De is the only one who can sit at the top of the Governor's family banquet in this area of ​​Jiangsu.

Cheng De had a fight with Luo Min behind his back, but on the surface he had to be restrained by Luo Min. On the outside, the two of them were harmonious, and no one knew that the two had long been inseparable in private.

Lin Wanrong was bored waiting, and suddenly heard a burst of drum music, the master of ceremonies sang loudly: "The auspicious time has come, please enter the hall."

In the sound of the drums, Luo Ning was wearing a red shirt with a blushing face. She walked in slowly with the help of a red-faced, kind-hearted old lady. Luo Min and Luo Yuan followed behind them, and the three generations of the Luo family appeared in the crowd. eyes.

"Congratulations to the old birthday star, such as the East Sea, and the birthday of Nanshan." The people in the hall stood up and sang together.
