Chapter 81 Linger

In the end, Chen Kang gave up his plan to buy two maids for Qingyin. Because the only serious masters in Chen's mansion are Chen Jialuo and Chen Kang, the son of Chen. For so many years in the imperial capital, they have never bought slaves and maidservants. Except for one of the old people in Chen Wang's house who has been following Chen in the past, the others are also newly added after the imperial capital. Of. Originally, King Wu of Zhou also rewarded some people, but King Chen preferred quietness, and King Chen also refused the kindness of King Wu of Zhou. Therefore, if you suddenly want to buy a girl at this time, it will inevitably attract the suspicion of others.

It's just that there can't always be no one to serve Qingyin. Chen Kang thought about it and called a little girl in his yard to be a spirit. She was an honest person and was sent to Qingyin's yard to serve.

"Girl, maidservant, Your Highness asked me to follow the girl in the future." Linger didn't know the true identity of Qingyin, but doubted whether it was the woman His Highness's favorite, but she didn't know how to call her, so she could only call the girl first.

"Linger?" Maybe it is the same word as the green spirit's name, but the clear sound finds a little intimate feeling. However, he still secretly thought about whether Chen Kang sent Linger to her side really out of concern or actually monitor her every move.

Linger is 13 years old and doesn't look beautiful, but it's better than being honest, and she is also extremely down-to-earth.

Qingyin is not disgusted. Anyway, when she first arrived at King Chen's Mansion, she is not familiar with the place, and she needs someone to understand the situation of King Chen's Mansion in order to act in the future.

"Linger, I'm a little older than you, and I'm just a slave. In the future, you and I will be sisters, and we don't have to shout before and after the girl. It doesn't seem to be separated." Qingyin took Linger's hand affectionately and sat in the armchair in the hall.

"..." In fact, there were few girls in King Chen's mansion, and Ling'er usually served in Chen Kang's yard. It was rare for a person of the same age to be able to talk. Ling'er was a little hesitant and did not pinch. She shouted happily: "Sister Qingyin!"

"Alas!" The voice answered, looked at Linger, and said with a smile: "How many years has Linger been in the palace?"

"It's been six or seven years!" Linger turned her head and thought about it.

Sixty-seven years, so you should know everything about the royal palace. Qingyin thought to himself, "How did Linger get to the royal palace?"

"That year, there was a drought in my hometown, and many family members died. My mother looked at it like that. I really couldn't stay in my hometown, so I took my little brother to the imperial capital, thinking that I could find a way to live at the foot of the emperor. Who knows that when I arrived at the imperial capital, the refugees had almost occupied the streets and alleys of the imperial capital. The emperor had no choice but to send each person a taels of silver and sent them out of the city. Asked about the past, even Linger was still young at that time, and she couldn't help showing a painful look, and there was a layer of water mist in her eyes.

"What happened later?" Qingyin didn't mean to touch other people's pain, but he couldn't help asking.

"My mother took me and my younger brother out of the city, but my younger brother was sick. The money was not enough to see a doctor. Later, my younger brother died, and my mother was sad and sick. I, a six-year-old baby, could do nothing, so I had to beg around, but after all, I didn't save my mother's life." Linger said and burst into tears. Qingyin handed her handkerchief and wiped the tears on her face before continuing to say, "If I hadn't met Your Highness, my mother could only expose the corpse wilderness. Your Highness has kindly taken me in. Since then, I have been staying with Your Highness. Although he is just a gardener, he has no worries about food and clothing.

It seems that Chen Kang's position in Linger's heart is unshakable! However, is the Chen Kang mentioned by Linger the one she knows, who is murderous and cruel? Qingyin expresses doubt!

"How did the sister enter the royal palace?" Linger was secretly sad for a while, and suddenly she couldn't stand the curiosity in her heart.

"It's similar to my sister, but I was just in trouble on the road. Your Highness rescued me, and then I got out of trouble." The voice replied vaguely.

Linger nodded after hearing this: "Your Highness is really the best person in the world!"

"Yes!" Qingyin echoed, looking at Linger's deep worship and admiration for Chen Kang in her eyes, and thought about how to hear the news in the mouth of such a girl loyal to Chen Kang: "Linger, since we are all sisters living in this house in the future, I have to ask you more about many things. At that time, I will provoke you. It's not good."

"Sister, don't worry, as long as Linger knows, she will know everything."

After chatting with Linger for most of the day, Qingyin can be regarded as a general understanding of the situation of Chen Wangfu.

Chen Jialuo, the king of Chen, has not married since the accidental death of the official princess more than ten years ago. Even if King Wu of Zhou gave him many marriages, he declined. In this way, Qingyin had a little good impression on the king of Chen, whom she had never met, and what made her curious was what kind of woman the late Princess Chen was that could make a man stay for her for a lifetime. What a strong and profound feeling it will be!

Chen Kang is 22 years old. He should have married and have children long ago, but I don't know why it was delayed. Not long ago, he finally married the eldest daughter of Murong's family, called Murong Wan. It's just that Murong Wan is still young now, saying that it will take a few years to get through the door.

That is to say, in King Chen's mansion, there are only two masters who really pay attention to. There is only one stewul of the royal palace below, called Chen Ji. The scheduling arrangements of all the people in the royal palace must pass through his hands. Chen Wang and Chen Kang are both quiet people. There are not many people to serve in the yard. There is an old man who has been following Chen Wu. Chen Wu is Chen Ji's father, who is Chen Wang's most trusted confidant. Linger can emphasize this person, saying that in addition to Chen Wang and Chen Kang, he is also half a master in the royal palace. He has a strange temperament. He lives in the same yard with Chen Wang and doesn't go out much, but once he goes out, everyone should be extremely cautious.

There is not much attention to other Chen Wangfu. Chen Wangfu has a small population and only one large kitchen. The stew is a 40-year-old cook. She is fierce, but her heart is excellent.

Qingyin remembers all these clearly, especially the cook named Jin Niang. After all, what she learned from Hui can only be used with the help of Jin Niang. Thinking of this, Qingyin pulled Linger and said, "I've been talking for a long time, and I'm hungry. Why don't we go to the big kitchen?"

"Yes! As soon as I talked to my sister, I forgot all about this serious matter. Linger patted her head and suddenly said, "There is no small kitchen in this yard. We have to go to the big kitchen to get food or anything by ourselves, but if you don't bother my sister, just wait for me in the yard. I'll come as soon as I go."

"How can that work? Didn't I tell you that we are all equal slaves. There is no one to serve, but His Highness is afraid that I will be lonely and asked you to come and make a companion for me. Besides, I will live in this royal palace for a long time in the future, and I will be familiar with those places sooner or later!" The kitchen is the most critical place for the whole royal palace. If you want to catch all the Chen mansion, you can't let it go. Just now, Linger also said that don't go to the outer court if you have nothing to do. There are many dark guards of Chen Mansion, all of whom are good at it. That is to say, even if you get it, it is still a little difficult to escape from the royal palace without being hurt and without shocking the guards of the imperial capital. As long as you can win the trust of Jin Niang, then everything will not be difficult.

"That's right, sister!" Linger thought for a moment and said, "Jin Niang will be very happy to see you. There have been no new faces in this house for many years." Linger is a little girl after all. She is simple, simple-minded, and doesn't think much about anything. Instead, she is very happy that Qingyin intends to stay in the royal house all the time. After saying that, she pulled Qingyin and went out of the courtyard.
