MTL - I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times-Chapter 252 Borrow a chicken to lay an egg
Chapter 252 Borrowing chickens to lay eggs
Ling Chu frowned slightly and looked at the father-in-law in front of him, "The queen invited me to the palace to attend the flower viewing banquet?"
The father-in-law nodded and handed over the post in his hand, "That's right, girl, remember to enter the palace on time, don't miss it."
Taking the post, Ling Chu opened it and took a look. Her name was indeed written on it.
The banquet will be held in three days.
Ling Chu was puzzled, why would the queen invite her into the palace if she was so good?
If the Ling Mansion was still the former Hubu Shangshu Mansion, it would not be surprising if the queen asked her to enter the palace to attend the banquet.
But now, her grandfather has been demoted from his official position by the emperor. With her status, she should not be able to attend the queen's banquet.
But the queen just invited her.
It really puzzled her.
Furthermore, it seems that the palace knew everything about her setting up a household and moving out of the Ling Mansion, otherwise the father-in-law would not have been able to find her shop so accurately.
Father-in-law left after sending the post without saying much.
Lingchu couldn't figure out why the queen suddenly invited her, so he didn't embarrass himself and put the post aside.
If you can’t figure it out, then don’t think about it. Anyway, the soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth.
As soon as he picked up the tea cup and took a few sips, he saw a familiar figure walking in from the door of the shop.
Ling Chu’s eyebrows were surprised when he saw the person coming.
Her shop opened today, and people came in waves.
It’s lively, but people are not here to buy anything.
As soon as Ning Chuyi stepped into the shop, he glanced around and saw the figure in the private room.
Ling Chu put down the tea cup in his hand and stood up to greet him, "Why are you here, Mr. Ning?"
“I happened to be passing by, come and have a look.”
Ning Chuyi didn’t lie, he was indeed passing by. He knew that her shop was opening today, but he didn't plan to come over, lest anyone who was interested might see it and make random guesses.
Just when I was passing by, I happened to see the prince beside the queen coming out of her shop. I hesitated for a while and came in anyway.
Seeing Shopkeeper Lu following behind with an uneasy look on his face, Ling Chu waved his hand to him and motioned for him to step back.
Ning Chuyi walked into the private room and her eyes fell on the post on the table.
“The prince came here just now to deliver a post to you?”
Lingchu followed him to the post and nodded, "The Queen said she was going to hold a flower viewing banquet and invited me to attend. I don't know why the Queen suddenly wanted to invite me."
“This is probably the emperor’s idea.”
Lingchu was even more surprised, "Your Majesty, you want to see me?"
"It seems that the Queen is hosting a banquet, and the Emperor wants to take the opportunity to see you. He probably wants to find out about Master Xuan Yi from you.
Although your master refused several times, the emperor still wanted him to be the national master. "
Lingchu had a headache, "Maybe I haven't heard from my master for a long time. He doesn't want to be bound by the world at all, and he likes to travel around. Even if the emperor sees me, I can't make him accept the position of national master."
Seeing her distress, Ning Chuyi's lips curled up.
"Don't worry, the emperor naturally knows that this matter is not yours to decide. But he thought that the queen would invite ladies from various families to a banquet, so someone sent you a message."
Ling Chu sighed in his heart. The master didn't like the palace, and neither did she.
The palace is full of nobles, and with her status, no matter who she sees, she has to kneel down.
Her knees would be bruised if she entered the palace.
She didn't want to go, but she couldn't refuse.
"Don't worry, if you encounter something that can't be solved during the banquet, just ask someone to send me a letter." With him around, she would never be bullied.
“Master Ning also wants to attend the banquet?”
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Lingchu knew that he had asked nonsense.
Since the Queen wants to invite noble ladies and young masters from aristocratic families to the banquet, given his status, he will naturally be on the invitation list. Ning Chuyi nodded, "Ning Guo Gongfu also received the post."
Wei Feng, who was guarding the door, raised his eyebrows. Duke Ningguo's mansion had indeed received the Queen's banquet post.
It’s just that your Excellency has always been the most impatient to attend such banquets, and had no intention of attending this time.
Unexpectedly, I came to Da Yuan Tower and changed my mind.
It seems that the adults are really worried that Miss Ling will be bullied.
However, Wei Feng felt that his worries were unnecessary. With Miss Ling's ability, it is not easy for others to bully her.
Ning Chuyi naturally knew that Ling Chu had the means to protect himself, but there were always many disputes in the palace, and no one in the palace was easy to get along with, so he was inevitably worried that she would not be able to cope with it.
These are the words he did not say.
Just wait until you enter the palace and pay more attention to yourself.
Knowing that the prince only came to deliver the post, Ning Chuyi did not stay in the shop longer, left a congratulatory gift and left.
When Lingchu opened the shop, he didn't expect to receive congratulatory gifts.
After all, she ran a death shop and did not notify anyone.
The box was opened, and there were three jadeite stones of different sizes inside.
Out of curiosity, Lingchu opened the system.
Unexpectedly, the jadeite in these three rough stones is quite good.
It’s just that this gift is a bit too heavy.
If she retreats, given Master Ning's temper, she will probably annoy others.
Ling Chu sighed, Golden Thigh cannot be offended, it seems that she will have to think of other ways to pay it back in the future.
Putting away the box, Ling Chu continued to draw the talisman.
At the end of the day, her shop didn’t make a single sale.
However, Ling Chu was not sad at all. The things she sold in her shop were not the ordinary ones. It was only the first day of business, and those gangsters came over to make a fuss, so it wasn't surprising that the business didn't close.
Ling Chu came to Da Yuan Tower as usual.
“Ling Xiangu, I heard that you opened a shop on West Street, but I didn’t expect it to be true.”
The voice of the visitor sounded familiar. Ling Chu turned his head and said, "Aunt Sun?"
“It’s me. I didn’t expect that Xian Gu has such a good memory that she still remembers it so clearly.”
Ling Chu naturally remembered that there was once a corpse buried under the pig pen in Aunt Sun's house. The puppet spirit also killed all the poultry in her house, causing a lot of trouble.
Aunt Sun had already seen what Ling Chu was capable of, so she said without saying anything else, "Ling Xiangu, I would like to ask you to help collect a debt. I lent my old hen to a woman in the village, but I never got it back. I wonder if Fairy Aunt can help with this matter?”
The corners of Lingchu's mouth twitched. She didn't expect that Mrs. Sun came to her to collect debts.
It’s not strange to collect debts, but, “Auntie, you want me to help you beg for an old hen?”
Seeing her surprise, Mrs. Sun quickly explained, "That's it. Didn't the chickens and ducks in my house always die inexplicably before? At that time, I didn't know it was the ghost of Zhao Yishan.
The hen was carefully selected and bought back because I was worried that it would also be killed. It happened that a woman in the village said that she would help me raise eggs. I just need to give her one egg every day.
I saw that her family was really in trouble, and I didn’t want the old hen to die, so I agreed to her.
Who would have thought that after such a long time, I asked her for it several times, but she never got it back. There was no other way, so I thought of asking Fairy Aunt for help. "
