Chapter 25: Eunuch Wu Summons
"Then, do you want me to bring these dishes and steamed buns to someone to eat?"
Hearing this, Murong Qingyue frowned, "How do you know?"
As she said that, she seemed to have guessed something and nodded: "Yes, I want to ask you to help me with this."
Lin Xing smiled slightly, "Isn't she a very beautiful and lovely little girl?"
"Um."
Murong Qingyue responded without being surprised. Since the words were said at this point, it was natural to guess that there must have been a conversation between the two.
Moreover, she also believed that Lin Xing would definitely help with this, otherwise she would not have spoken.
Lin Xing didn't say anything, but he knew very well in his heart that the reason why Murong Qingyue didn't mention this matter before was because he couldn't trust him.
"Then, would it be convenient to bring these foods to Rou'er?"
"That girl's name is Rou'er, right?"
Lin Xing asked smoothly.
Murong Qingyue nodded, "Yes, Xia Rou'er."
"Okay, no problem, I'll walk there right away and send it to her secretly."
Lin Xing readily agreed.
A friend in need is a friend indeed, a rare thing!
"Thank you. You are a good person and you will be rewarded."
Murong Qingyue looked sincerely grateful, but she could only express her gratitude.
Lin Xing waved his hand directly, "Madam, you don't need to thank me, it's not a big deal.
Besides, General Liang is a hero I respect. It is a great honor for me to do what I can for his wife! "
"Thank you!"
Murong Qingyue's eyes suddenly turned red, which obviously brought back her pain and sorrow.
"Oh, right."
Lin Xing quickly changed the subject, "Miss Rou'er doesn't know your current situation. Maybe she thinks I'm a nice person. Please ask me for help. Give half of the food to half and ask me to bring it to you."
Hearing this, Murong Qingyue's expression tightened, and when she thought that the Xia family was implicated and all the members of the family were executed, leaving only Xia Rou'er, she felt as if needles were pricking her heart.
"Father-in-law, please give Rou'er a message, asking her not to worry about me, to protect herself, and to live a strong life!"
These words were what she always reminded herself that she must live strong for the sake of her daughter and the justice of the Liang family. They were also the spiritual pillar for her to survive.
"Okay, madam, don't worry, I will definitely bring you!"
Lin Xing responded, and with his hands busy, he put two plates of vegetables and two steamed buns into the food box.
The sincere love between the two of them meant that there was no need to persuade her to keep some of it. Taking them all would make her feel comfortable.
Moreover, Lin Xing didn't say anything about things that couldn't be guaranteed, such as finding a way to get her some food. He would never say anything.
After finishing cleaning up, Lin Xing said hello and left. It took him a long time to deliver food.
Soon, he looked around to make sure no one was coming, and walked directly into Xia Rouer's room.
She had finished her meal long ago, and there was still some food left. The steamed bread on the table was all gone, so she probably wouldn't finish it.
"Father-in-law!"
Xia Rouer said hello, with doubts in her expression.
"Um."
Lin Xing responded, put down the two wooden buckets, placed the food box on the table, picked up the bowl on the table, and poured the remaining vegetables directly into the wooden bucket.
Xia Rouer's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything. She just stared at him in confusion.
Then, Lin Xing opened the food box, poured a plate of meat into an empty bowl on the table, and took out two steamed buns. Forgetting another plate of vegetarian dishes, there was no room for it in the bowl.
"Father-in-law, what are you doing?"
"Don't ask any more questions. Be careful when eating. If you can't finish it, hide it..."
"Also, Mrs. Liang asked me to tell you, you must be strong and protect yourself!"
Lin Xing whispered in a low voice that no one should know about such a thing, not even Xiao Maozi.
Xia Rou'er snorted lightly.
"There is still some food to eat. Try to finish it as soon as possible. I also sent a portion to Mrs. Liang."
After a final explanation, Lin Xing picked up the guy and left in a hurry.
There is no need to explain Murong Qingyue's matter, just let the little girl eat with peace of mind.
Soon, Lin Xing returned to the courtyard. It was almost dark, and the eunuchs who were pounding rice in the courtyard also stopped working and rested.
They are all handy eunuchs and do not need to be on duty at night. All work is done during the day.
Xiao Niuzi was waiting alone in the kitchen again, obviously waiting for Lin Xing to come back to do the last bit of work.
"Master Lin, Eunuch Wu is back and asked you to come back and go to his place."
"Also, Xiao Maozi also asked me to tell you that Eunuch Wu lost a lot of money today, so you should be careful."
Lin Xing nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away!"
As he said that, he put the things in his hands on the ground and left the kitchen.
Soon, Lin Xing arrived at the door of Eunuch Wu's house in Yongxiang Bureau.
"Father-in-law, little Xiaolinzi!"
"Come in."
Hearing this, Lin Xing opened the door and walked in. At the Eight Immortals table, Eunuch Wu was sitting facing the door, and Xiao Maozi was sitting on the side.
There were several plates of side dishes and a jar of wine on the table.
Lin Xingying walked to the table and waited with his head slightly lowered. Eunuch Wu drank a bowl of wine, and Xiao Maozi quickly poured another bowl with quick eyes and hands.
"Xiao Linzi, there's only food for a few people, why did you go so long?"
Eunuch Wu asked coldly.
Lin Xing didn't expect that the insidious old eunuch would treat him well with just fifty taels of silver.
However, it shouldn't be a bad thing to ask him to come over, especially when the dog lost money.
"Replying to the eunuch, Eunuch Liu has instructed me, so I'll stay there for a while."
Lin Xing made emergency plans on the way and hid two fifty-tael silver notes in his sleeves in case of emergency.
As he spoke, he took out the silver notes directly, "I didn't expect that I would really gain something and get this hundred taels of silver for you, the old man."
Then, Lin Xing respectfully placed the silver notes on the table in front of Eunuch Wu.
The latter took the silver, his face full of surprise. He knew the situation best. He had tried all kinds of means, but basically he couldn't squeeze out any silver in the short term.
"Not bad, not bad, Xiao Linzi, you are thoughtful."
Eunuch Wu had some joy on his face. After a day of bad luck, he finally had something to be happy about.
As he spoke, he put the silver into his pocket. The little Maozi stared at it eagerly, and naturally he felt uncomfortable. This silver is mine, mine!
"Little Maozi, you bastard, what are you looking at? Hurry up and pay back the three hundred taels of silver you owe me. I lost so much today."
"Yes, godfather, I will find a way as soon as possible."
The little Maozi nodded, feeling very upset. These two ancestors took away eight hundred taels from him.
No, it was seven hundred taels. This young master still had a conscience and returned one hundred taels.
Unlike this godfather who cheated his son, he lost six hundred taels of silver playing cards with him that day, and insisted that he brought bad luck and let him pay three hundred taels. That's how he owed him three hundred taels.
After putting the silver away, Eunuch Wu pointed to the empty space on the other side.
"Xiao Linzi, you've worked hard today. Come, sit down and have a drink with me."
"Yes, thank you, eunuch."
Lin Xing nodded and sat down. It's true that money makes the world go round.
Xiao Maozi was very considerate and poured a bowl of wine for Lin Xing.
Eunuch Wu took the lead and said, "Come on, Xiao Linzi, work hard with me in the future. I will never treat you unfairly."
Hearing this, Lin Xing quickly held up the bowl with both hands, "I toast to you, eunuch!"
"Okay, let's drink!"
Eunuch Wu clinked the bowl with Lin Xing and drank it all in one gulp. He was in a bad mood today and wanted to get drunk. Then, while he was drunk...
