Chapter 14 Red Beads

Hongyu has said so, and Lin Yi naturally can't say anything more, but he still feels that Xianglin's sister-in-law is cold and light, and I can't say what kind of attitude she has towards Lin Yi.

However, as Hongyu said, Xianglin's skills are not ordinary, or Lin Yi, who has read countless delicious foods in modern times, can't find any flaws in Xianglin's skills.

While Lin Yi was tasting the delicious food, Xianglin's sister-in-law had cleaned up a room in the idle warehouse in the east.

Although the furnishings are simple, the bed and table are also complete. The most important thing is that there is a large wooden bucket inside.

Lin's eyes shined as soon as he saw it!

Since she was reborn, she hasn't taken a hot bath!

Although Xianglin's sister-in-law didn't say much, she not only helped clean the barrel, but also carefully burned a large pot of hot water!

This makes Lin and Xianglin's sister-in-law have a little more affection and curiosity!

Lin Yi took care of himself in the backyard for the next two days.

In the first two days, Murong's mansion was full of the relationship between Murong Qingrong's return to the palace. After all, Murong Qing's palace was full of families every day. After all, Murong Qing was only a weak year, so he got a three-grade servant. He wanted to pay attention to it, and the future would be even more promising in the future. There is an endless stream of dignitaries in the city who are either toffing or sincerely congratulating and blessing.

Although Murong Wan is not feeling well, there are always some nobles who are particularly close to each other, and it is inevitable that they have to socialize. This plum garden often does not need to prepare food for the master, but is also idle.

The backyard is very quiet, that is, few people come here except for Xianglin's sister-in-law and Hongyu. Although Lin Yi is not a talker, no one has spoken for many days, and he is also depressed. And since she entered Meiyuan, Murong Wan and Murong Qing seem to have forgotten her existence. Not only did they not arrange any work for her, but they didn't even ask her. It's just that Xianglin's sister-in-law never lacks three meals a day. Originally, Lin was guilty and wanted to help Xianglin's sister-in-law fight, but every time she saw Xianglin's stiff face rejecting her coldly, she felt very uncomfortable.

After breakfast that day, she stood boredly in the yard and looked up at the leaves of the ginkgo tree that slowly turned yellow in a daze. I heard a light and urgent footsteps at the gate of the courtyard.

This is obviously not the Xianglin sister-in-law and Hongyu she is familiar with. When he hurriedly followed the sound, he saw Hongyu's face slightly red, frowning gently holding his skirt and entering across the door.

Lin Yi's heart is so happy that he can finally see a normal person.

"Sister Hongyu, you are finally here!"

"Huh? Lin Yi, are you feeling better?" Hongyu was slightly surprised, but she kept stepping directly on the steps of the kitchen.

"It's been a long time. Sister Hongyu has forgotten me!" Lin Yi followed, and the corners of his mouth curled, looking pitiful.

"The house has been very busy these days, and there are banquets every day. Well, today, the emperor has come to the nobles, and I'm afraid I'm going to tos around again!" Hongyu (harmonious) paused slightly, his eyebrows twitched, and shook his head slightly.

"Do you have to accompany the second lady every day if she is not in good health?" Lin thought of Murong Wan's 'old problem, can't bear to be tired' and asked anxiously.

"It's okay for others, but today they are the nobles of the imperial capital. They usually have the best friends with the house, and the second lady has to accompany them even if they are unhappy!" Hongyu's words were slightly sighed and worried.

"How can the second lady's body be eaten?" Thinking of Murong Wan's illness that day, Lin Yi couldn't help but be afraid.

"Hey!" Hongyu sighed, patted Lin Yi's shoulder, and the corners of her lips showed a shallow smile: "Thank you for thinking about it." He turned to the kitchen and said as he walked, "Thanks to Miss, she has the good medicine in the palace. As long as we prepare more, the lady will take it if she is a little uncomfortable, and it won't be a big deal!"

Lin Yi followed Hongyu into the kitchen. Although Hongyu said so, Lin Yi was also a little uneasy when he heard it.

The kitchen is divided into two parts, the right is more spacious, and there are two large pots on the stone stove. Behind the stove is neatly placed with even-sized wood. In front of the stove is a large case, with some fresh ingredients on it, mostly vegetables and so on. The above items are neatly arranged. There are two mahogany cabinets behind the case, and one cabinet is tableware, most of which are silver and white jade. Another cabinet is stored rice oil or something. There are two huge pottery jars with clear water on the side of the cabinet.

There is an Eight Immortal table and chair and stools, and the place adjacent to the warehouse on the right is much smaller. There are only a few small media stoves, a locked wooden cabinet, a small case and two round wooden stools.

Hongyu was busy on the edge of the stove at this time. Seeing Hongyu come in, she nodded, blinked her eyes, and said hello. In a blink of an eye, he saw Lin Yi following Hongyu, frowned, twitched the corners of his mouth, and a trace of displeasure stared at Lin Yi. That look was like Lin Yi, a predator who broke into her territory. Lin Yi couldn't help shrinking his shoulders and secretly thinking about when he had offended the little girl. On the first day he saw her, he was hostile to himself.

"Hongzhu, the Chen family in the imperial capital came here today. Miss is very idle today. You should stew more pairs of soup to prepare." Hongyu walked to Hongzhu and looked at the smoking medicine jar on the stove.

Hongzhu withdrew her eyes and nodded. He was about to turn around to unlock the lock to get the medicine, but he saw that Lin Yi had no intention of leaving, so he turned his head and raised his chin to stared at Lin.

Lin Yi woke up and said, "Sister Hongyu, I think Sister Hongzhu is taking care of so many stoves alone. Why don't I help her?"

Lin Yi thought about it and couldn't figure out why Hongzhu was so hostile to her, but at least she would live in a yard in the future, and the most changes she saw in this backyard were Hongzhu and Xianglin's sister-in-law. She didn't want to see such a stinky face every day in the future, which would affect her appetite! And she is really motivated to help. Not only is she super curious about the magic effect of the elixir, but another reason is that if she doesn't work, she will definitely be moldy!

Unexpectedly, before Hongyu spoke, Hongzhu's hand holding the key trembled, threw a cold look at her, and then turned to Hongyu.

Hongyu coughed and coughed: "Lin Yi, Miss's soup has always been served by red beads. She doesn't like fake hands. I think you will recover in a few days, and the house is also idle. Let the lady send you work!" After saying that, he took Lin out of the kitchen.

At the moment when he crossed the door, Lin caught a glimpse of the red bead stretching his neck and looking towards them. When he couldn't see their figure, he still looked at the window uneaslessly and listened to the two people's footsteps going away, and then mysteriously opened the cabinet.

Because the door panel and the ginkgo trees in the yard were hidden, Lin Yi could clearly see the series of movements of Hongzhu, which inevitably made Lin a pair of red beads and the big wooden cabinet behind the red beads more curious.

What kind of disease does Murong Wan have? Why is the medicine so mysterious?

Hongyu kept pulling Lin Yi to the second door before saying, "Don't care about Hongzhu. She can't talk since she was a child, but she is a little more inferior and defensive than ordinary people. Although you are kind-hearted, I guess Hongzhu thinks you want to grab that job, so..."

"Sister Hongyu, you said that Sister Hongzhu can't speak since she was a child, so did she serve the lady in this yard since she was a child?" Once Lin Yi's curiosity is opened, she won't stop easily if she doesn't get the answer she wants.

"Yes! She is also a poor person. I still remember the once-hundred-year-old snow in Heyi City that winter. The weather was so cold that many people in the city couldn't survive. They sold their children and asked for a way to live. Some of them couldn't bear to sell their children. The family hugged them together and froze to death. Hongyu's eyes looked at the sky, with a trace of sadness on her face, as if she had returned to that tragic year.

"Doesn't the government care?" Lin Yi couldn't help remembering that in modern times, there were also many places affected by snow, but the state always sent food and supplies to help the people get through the disaster safely. Although there were also unfortunate people, there were very few.

"Government? You mean the government and the court, right?

Lin Yi inadvertently said the modern title of the government. Fortunately, Hongyu was immersed in grief and did not pay much attention to Lin Yi's words.

"Hmm! The imperial court was first afraid of those nobles and ordinary people, but they just walked through the motions. Even so, how many layers of officials can really be distributed into the hands of the people? What's the use? Hongyu looked at the ground and spit and said indignantly.

"What year did Sister Hongzhu enter the house?" Seeing that Hongyu may have had an unpleasant past in that year, Lin Yi couldn't bear to sprinkle salt on her wound and quickly changed the topic.

"Yes! I still remember that it snowed all night. Early in the morning, as soon as the door opened, the doorkeeper saw the red beads almost frozen into ice at the door. When the princess, the princess saw pity, she said that since she fell at her door, maybe it was God's pitiful fate, so she stayed in the house. Later, when he recovered from his injury, he couldn't speak. Thinking that the young lady was weak and needed to rest, he sent Meiyuan to serve the lady's soup. Talking about Hongzhu's background, Hongyu couldn't help looking into the inner courtyard and sighed silently.

"Is it taken in by the princess?" Thinking of Princess Murong's noble and arrogant appearance, Lin Yi could not connect her with the appearance of a poor common man. Invisibly, she always felt that there was something wrong with it, but for a moment she couldn't figure it out. And if the princess said that she was considered by Murong Wan everywhere, why is she so indifferent to Murong Wan's biological daughter?

"Hey! It's getting late, and I have to go back to serve the young lady to freshen up!" Hongyu obviously did not want to discuss this issue too much, and pretended to look at the sky and hurriedly said goodbye.

"Ye! Please also ask Sister Hongyu to greet the young lady for me. Please take care of yourself!" Lin Yi did not twist, and politely gave a blessing to Hongyu. With a smile, Hongyu did not forget to remind Murong Wan that there was still one person like her in this plum garden.

"Yes, be careful on Hongzhu's side! After all, she is different from us, and naturally needs to be more **!" Hongyu Linxing made another explanation.

"Thank you for your suggestion, Lin Yisheng's!" Looking at Hongyu's back, Lin Yi always felt that Hongyu's last pinch of his hand seemed to have a deep meaning!
