Chapter 169 What a counterattack

Early the next morning, when Bo Ling pushed open the door of the East Side Hall with a pen and paper and a storybook on her back, besides the maids who came out to do some work every day, she saw people standing at the edge of the yard—including Qinglian, a total of There are five.

Two women who are about the age of Zheng Shu, a girl who is about the age of Qinglian, and a girl who looks about the age of Baoyuan.Even if age is not used as an exclusion method, Bo Ling will probably think of the name "Rouge" at the first sight of this girl.

I don't know if it's a neighbor's suspicion or not, but Bo Ling felt that he could smell a little bit of Lin Jieyu on this person at a glance.

"I've seen Bai Siyao." Several people said respectfully at the same time.

"Why are you here?" Bai Ling smiled and asked softly, "It's not like they all want to come and work with me, do they?"

"Where is it, we want to..." A woman looked at Bai Ling, with embarrassment and embarrassment written all over her face, "...just because I am afraid of myself, I don't have that blessing."

"What do you call the two mothers-in-law?"

"My surname is Jiang, and her surname is Zhao. We have been with the empress for several years. We are mainly responsible for taking care of the cellar and the vegetation in the yard. Occasionally, our own small kitchen in the palace is under our control." She answered fluently. Dao, seeing that Bai Ling had spoken politely just now, and now she listened seriously to what she said, without the slightest intention of throwing her face in anger, so she boldly continued, "Si Yao, Qinglian settled everything with her last night." We said..."

"Yeah." Bo Ling nodded, "It's my fault that I didn't ask clearly last night. If I knew that the two mothers-in-law are of this age, I would definitely not consider letting you come over."

"Hey!" The two looked at each other, and both sighed sincerely. They had prepared a full refusal, but now it seems that they are completely useless—after all, the two wives sent by Mrs. Qu The lessons learned from the past are there, and even if they can't think about it, they will not take the initiative to bump into Bo Ling's knife.

"Both go get busy." Bo Ling smiled and waved his hands.

Only three of the five remained.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Chulan.", "Rouge." They both replied at the same time.

Chu Lan lowered her head and twisted her sleeves, while Yan Zhi behind her looked directly at Bo Ling with a smile on her face.

"Then what is your answer?"

"Yes." They both replied at the same time.Yan Zhi's voice was louder, Chu Lan's voice was softer - the latter was so timid that he didn't even dare to look into Bai Ling's eyes.

Bai Ling looked past Chulan and looked at Yanzhi, "I remember Qinglian said last night that you don't want to take extra work for yourself...why are you willing now?"

Rouge sighed softly, she was one shoulder taller than Bo Ling, and at the moment she was trying to make up for her condescending gaze with a humble expression.

"Si Yao, don't make fun of your slaves, it's just a joke of mine...I explained it to Qinglian last night."

"Yes, Bai Siyao." Qinglian blushed slightly, "I...I don't know how to talk."

Bo Ling was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something seriously, and after a while he said softly, "Then just the three of you together for the time being, I will talk to Sister Baoyuan about this when I come back at night. If I feel Whoever is not suitable will be eliminated in due time.”

The three of them looked a little surprised - they didn't expect Bo Ling to agree in this way. They thought that there would be a series of inquiries or skill demonstrations...

"After Bao Yuan wakes up, go to her and ask for a copy of Buddhist scriptures." Bai Ling said softly to Qing Lian, "Your only task today and tomorrow is to memorize them."

"Buddhist scriptures..." Qinglian murmured and repeated these two words, then bit her lips hard, and replied in a low voice, "Okay."

Bai Ling looked at Yanzhi and Chulan again, "As for you, after the sun rises, go out for a run for me."

"Yes." The two nodded at the same time, "What does Si Yao want us to do?"

"Three things." Bo Ling stretched out his fingers one by one, "First, go to the bank of the Guangchu Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, find all the masters and get 40 taels of gold, and I will give you the receipt with my seal in a while."

"Master Qi, the Bank of the Guangchu Division, 40 taels of gold..."

The two were silently thinking in their hearts.

"Secondly, it is also the Guangchu Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I sent people to the silver shop and the leather shop yesterday to order two sets of ready-made jewelry and leather goods. You took the money from Master Qi and took the jewelry and leather goods for me directly. .”

Both Yanzhi and Chulan nodded, and quickly wrote it down in their hearts.

"Third, after taking the things, except for one box of jewelry wrapped in red silk, all of them are sent to the East Side Hall of Chengqian Palace. Just put them on the table."

"That box of jewelry wrapped in red silk is for...?"

Bai Ling glanced at Yanzhi and Chulan, and said in a low voice, "Send them to Chuxiu Palace and tell Lin Jieyu that this is my return gift to her last time. Thanks to her reward, otherwise I would not be happy for many years." I can't save a set of outfits for the Anhu Flower Festival."

Rouge was startled for a moment, and then quickly reacted——

What a counterattack!
"If you can't do it, just quit now." Bo Ling smiled softly, "If it's really impossible, I can go by myself."

"Let's go." Yanzhi smiled and bowed her head, "Bo Siyao should have a lot of other things to deal with. Just leave this kind of errand work to us."

"Thank you." Bo Ling untied the burden on his back as he said, took out a piece of paper covered with dense red stamps, and handed it to Yan Zhi, "I still have to go to the Imperial Garden today, and continue to serve the empress. Praying for incense."

……

After leaving the gate of Chengqian Palace, Bai Ling set off for the imperial garden again. The daily morning light is almost the busiest time for the palace people.The masters who rested all night are about to wake up, they have too many things to prepare.

Walking among these people, Berlin felt as if he was crossing a river that did not belong to him.

I don't know what expression Lin Jieyu will have when she receives the pair of bracelets and anklets?

There was an imperceptible chuckle at the corner of Bai Ling's mouth, and he quickened his pace.

The magnolia and crabapple in the imperial garden are almost past their flowering period, and the peaches and poppies are in full bloom together. In the past, the place where Bailing sat was covered with pink and white petals. When the wind blows, it will be colorful again.

A piece of crabapple flower fluttered around, and finally covered Bai Ling's forehead.

She took off the petals, looked at the fallen flowers behind the rockery, and suddenly remembered the scene of Daiyu burying flowers in "A Dream of Red Mansions".

The person who buried the flowers today laughed like a fool, but he will know who it is when he buried them next year.

Bo Ling smiled suddenly, and moved his fingertips lightly, and that piece of crabapple petals went away with the wind.

When she turned around again, another familiar figure appeared under the rockery.

Bo Ling tilted his head slightly, "You are here again."
