Congratulations on opening the coffin

Chapter 124 Mother's Taste
She was immersed in her own thoughts, and for a moment, she bumped into the kitchen boy who was running towards him. He just said sorry in a hurry, and then went straight to the shopkeeper.

Shen Ruo rubbed his sore shoulder, subconsciously looked at the boy, and heard the whispered words of the two with quick ears.

"Shopkeeper, I just caught a thief in the back kitchen and ate a lot of good things."

"What? Why don't you report to the police quickly, what are you talking about?"

"But that little thief is only six or seven years old, how can he report to the official?"

"So what if I'm six or seven years old? Don't you have to pay for stealing something from me? Ask who his parents are? If it doesn't work, find a black kiln and sell it..."

"Treasurer!"

Suddenly, a voice that seemed to suppress a bit of anger came, interrupting the shopkeeper, "I know the child you are talking about, can you give him to me?"

"So you are the elder of the little thief. How do you take care of the children? Fuzi, tell her that the little thief has to pay three times the amount of good things he ate, otherwise we will go to the court."

This little guy usually only helps out in the back kitchen and rarely talks to anyone. Seeing that the other party is a girl with a very good temperament, he can't help showing timidity, scratching his head, and said carefully: "Well, your child ate a black-bone chicken with Codonopsis ginseng and pearls. Emerald abalone soup, and whole mutton with roasted duck and vinegar fish..."

The servant made more than a dozen dishes in a row, Shen Ruo couldn't help frowning: "He's just a child, how could he eat so many dishes?"

Does she look that much of a taker?

The young man shrugged his shoulders shruggingly: "Well, young master, he seems to be very talkative. He eats the most plump and tender part of every dish, and throws it away after a few bites."

"..." Shen Ruomo, when did her well-behaved and sensible Lin'er become like this?

The shopkeeper snorted twice proudly, and stretched out his hand: "Bring the money, these dishes add up to five taels of silver, three times that is 15 taels, and nothing less will do."

Shen Ruo touched her purse subconsciously, and it was empty, she was silent for a long time.

The shopkeeper saw it at a glance, and his face changed drastically: "What, no money? Are you so proud without money?"

Suddenly, Shen Ruo flipped her hand, and a shiny silver knife lay in her palm. The shopkeeper was startled: "What do you want to do? Let me tell you, don't be impulsive, killing people is against the law!"

At this moment, the shopkeeper didn't have the arrogance just now, he was almost on his knees.

Shen Ruo said lightly: "Shopkeeper, you misunderstood, I want to ask you, can this dagger be worth the meal money?"

"So you want to treat it as something, you should have said it earlier!" The shopkeeper was stunned again for a moment, he snatched the knife, just about to test the sharpness with his fingertips, Shen Ruo reminded: "Be careful, this knife Very beneficial."

The shopkeeper didn't believe in evil, he held the knife and slashed at the corner of the table, and cut off the corner of the table almost effortlessly. The shopkeeper stared at the scene with wide eyes, speechless in astonishment.

Shen Ruo had no choice but to speak again: "Shopkeeper, is it okay?"

The shopkeeper could still disagree, so he hugged the knife into his arms, as if he was afraid that Shen Ruo would regret it: "No problem, no problem, Fuzi, you take this girl to see that little z... little boy?" .”

Shen Ruo followed the boy to the back kitchen.

"Young master is very good at martial arts. If he wasn't so hungry, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to catch him, so I would tie him up and lock him in the woodshed."

"The little boy was still shouting something to find his mother, so it must be you, the girl?"

During the short journey, the servant racked his brains to talk about the topic, but Shen Ruo kept his attitude indifferent. He knew that Lin'er escaped from the palace to find her, and his mood was a bit complicated.

Shen Ruo stopped suddenly: "Thank you brother for leading the way, I already know the place, I'll go by myself, brother, you can do your work."

The speed of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge was so fast that when the boy left, he still looked at her reluctantly.

When she came to the firewood room, only one wooden peg was stuck. When she came to open it, the door opened slowly by itself.

As soon as she walked in, she saw Lin'er, who had been freed from the hemp rope, standing on the pile of firewood, trying to get out through the skylight.

She was anxious before, but now that Lin'er was so active, she felt a little complicated. Just when she didn't know how to speak, Lin'er heard the movement and turned her head to take a look.

Suddenly his eyes widened like a kitten, and he didn't care about running away, and immediately jumped off the woodpile, Shen Ruo subconsciously stepped forward and hugged him.

"Mother, I finally found you."

Shen Ruo was stunned for a moment, put the person down, and his tone became cold on purpose: "Little friend, you have misidentified the person, I am not your mother."

Lin'er rushed over again and hugged her thigh: "You are my mother, I will not admit my mistake."

Shen Ruo's face was full of shock, she never expected that she fell off so fast, just when she was hesitating whether to admit it or deny it, Lin'er seemed to have realized something, immediately let go of her hand, and said seriously: "Understood, mother Are you concealing your identity? Oh, no, you are not my mother, sorry, I recognized the wrong person. "

Can you change your mind and change your mind?

Shen Ruo covered her forehead and gave up struggling: "How did you recognize me?"

Lin'er tilted her head: "I didn't recognize you, who are you?"

"..." Shen Ruo bouncing over, "Okay, there's no need to keep pretending."

Lin'er covered his forehead with two chubby hands. Although he didn't say anything, he looked cute and pitiful, and the baby fat on his face was still there. Shen Ruo was relieved, it seemed that the palace did not abuse Lin'er.

It was only at this time that she noticed Lin'er's expression, which was not the same as before. He loved to laugh and play, but his small face was always paralyzed, and his black pupils were as thick as splashed ink, and they were a little permeable after staring at them for a long time.

She realized that this was not her Lin'er, but her second personality.

Lin'er had a superhuman intuition like a beast, and immediately felt Shen Ruo's emotional changes: "Mother, are you unhappy?"

Shen Ruo's tone was a little light: "No. You haven't said how you recognized me yet."

Lin'er was still a child after all, so she was turned away: "Mother's smelly arms and body shape are exactly the same as before, but the voice seems to have changed a bit. But I can still recognize mother at a glance."

"Good boy."

Shen Ruo touched Lin'er's head, and Lin'er rubbed back like a kitten. At first, the pain was so severe that his voice was hoarse. Of course, after treatment, the vocal cords have recovered, but the tone is still a little bit better. The change.

Listening to Lin'er's explanation, she remembered that she walked past Xiao Chen before, but he didn't even look at him. Maybe it wasn't his fault, but she was still very upset thinking about it.

With a soft hum in his heart, he withdrew his thoughts. Since Lin'er recognized her, he naturally had to ask about the situation in the palace during this time.

But this is not a good place to talk, so Shen Ruo picked up Lin'er and went to her room.
