Chapter 325 But I'm Different
It was a great day and even though Lin Jiaojiao didn't want to drink, she was enthusiastically forced to drink a few glasses.
Fortunately, Lin Dada and Zeng Yiyi were there to help her drink a lot, otherwise she would have collapsed by now.
After sending Xu Pingyun and the others away, Lin Jiaojiao looked at Qiu Xilan, who had drunk too much and collapsed on the table. Qiu's father wanted the servants to carry her to the carriage, but she was still conscious and didn't want to go back, so Qiu's father ignored her and let her go back in the carriage.
Song Jiajia learned that Lin Yizhi and the others were going to Xuanyi Teahouse later, but seeing Qiu Xilan drunk, she was very conflicted. However, she only hesitated for a while and decided to go with everyone.
They had been drinking and eating for a long time, so there were only a few customers left in the hall. Even in the private room upstairs, there were only a few tables of customers left playing mahjong.
She looked at the two people whose faces were already red from drinking, especially Zeng Yiyi, whose cheeks were flushed but she was still sorting the bill at the counter. If her face hadn't betrayed her, she would have thought that this girl hadn't drunk any alcohol.
Not to mention Lin Dadan, who has a good alcohol tolerance and after a year of socializing, she has already mastered the skill of drinking a thousand cups without getting drunk. She said she could drink three more jars of wine!
Lian Yunduan brought some hangover-sobering soup and gave each of the four of them a bowl, but it had a strong ginger flavor and she didn't really want to drink it.
Seeing this, Lin Yizhi immediately went to the kitchen to make her a cup of honey water. She took it and drank it happily, loving him more and more.
Qiu Xilan was drinking the sobering soup with the help of Song Jiajia. He couldn't help teasing Lin Jiaojiao when he saw her drinking honey water.
"Boss, do you have to be so delicate? You're even drinking honey water to sober up like a man."
Song Jiajia patted her arm speechlessly and told her to stop talking nonsense, but Lin Jiaojiao didn't care and answered proudly instead.
"What do you know? This is my husband's love for me."
There was a sudden burst of boos from the surroundings. Lin Yizhi blushed and lowered his head to hide his shyness, while Lin Jiaojiao simply put her arms around his shoulders and held him in her arms.
Jiang Huai sat quietly in the back. Because of the curtain blocking his view, he could stare at Lin Jiaojiao's every move without restraint.
She seems to have a kind of magic. Once you notice her, you can't take your eyes off her. You can't help but indulge in this whirlpool, with ripples everywhere and sinking unconsciously.
Zhuxue stood behind him, fanning herself and looking at the scorching sun outside, but she couldn't help feeling a little excited.
Since coming to Linjia Village, he hasn't followed his young master to watch plays or listen to storybooks for a long time, but fortunately he can enjoy the flowers and boat on the lake, so it's not boring.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Jiaojiao asked them to go earlier so that they could listen longer. Zeng Yiyi didn't want to go at first, as she couldn't go and rest while the boss was guarding the store.
Lin Dadan smiled and said, "Come with me, Yijie. This is our boss's kindness. She will be sad if you don't go. Let's go together." As he said this, he pulled her out.
Xuanyi Teahouse is in the city center, and it takes about a quarter of an hour to walk there. It is too sunny outside, and there are not many of them, so two carriages are just enough to take them there.
Lin Jiaojiao stood at the door and saw Lin Yizhi and the others off to the carriage. "Did you get the watermelon?"
"Take it, my wife. There are two more frozen in the well. My wife, remember to take them and eat them."
"Okay, have fun."
Then he instructed Lan Yi who was driving the carriage, "Keep an eye on them. Thank you for your hard work, Lan Yi."
She watched the two carriages leave, and when she returned to the hall, she saw Qiu Xilan sleeping on the table, with a servant behind her fanning her. She looked away enviously.
It’s a pity that Lan Jiu is not here, otherwise Lan Jiu would have been fanning her to cool her down.
Now he had to be self-sufficient. He went to the counter, picked up a palm-leaf fan, and while fanning himself, he checked the account book that Zeng Yiyi had sorted out.
I opened the store system again to check the operating income. The number one today happened to be Zhiwei Restaurant and Yun Branch, with a current income of 58 taels, 352 coins.
This was half the income of the Nanshan store. As expected, the Nanshan store was too small. She prayed again that the Queen would reward her with more money so that she would have enough money to buy a big restaurant in Nanshan again.
"What are you doing with your hands?"
Yu Wanru was bored upstairs and ran downstairs. She originally wanted to find Lin Jiaojiao. As soon as she got down the stairs, she saw the person sitting at the counter pointing his hand in the air.
Is this acupressure practice?
She immediately became interested and quickly ran downstairs to the counter. However, when she looked closer, it didn't look like he was practicing acupressure. He was just tapping randomly with one finger.
Lin Jiaojiao was startled by the voice. After seeing that it was Yu Wanru, she calmly retracted her finger.
"Well, my fingers are a little sore, so I'm stretching them."
Yu Wanru was half-believing and half-doubting, then she stretched out her hand in front of her, "Where's my reward?"
Lin Jiaojiao thought for a long time before she reacted. She quickly took out the key to open the cash register, counted out a hundred coins and put them into her already open purse.
Originally, she didn't want to use the money from the restaurant, but she didn't have that many copper coins in her bag. After all, a bag of copper coins was quite heavy.
She might as well wait a while until the little girl left, then take out a hundred coins from her backpack and put them back.
Yu Wanru happily pulled the ropes on both sides of the purse and shook the purse, making a sound of copper coins colliding.
"This is the first money I have ever earned. It is very commemorative. Chun Mo, please keep it well for me." Then he threw the purse to the maid next to him.
"Yes, I will keep it well."
Lin Jiaojiao tried to hold back her laughter as she looked at the pretentious little girl. Not to mention, she was quite cute.
"May I ask your name and age, young man?"
She had heard the name before, but was curious about the age.
Yu Wanru didn't expect that she didn't even know her name. She stood with her hands on her hips and spoke word by word, a little angrily.
"This young man will not change his name or surname. My surname is Yu, my given name is Wanru, and my courtesy name is Jingsi. I am eleven years old."
He is eleven years old in lunar age, which means his real age is only nine. He is still at an age full of innocence.
"So it's Young Master Yu who is so disrespectful. I wonder if Young Master Yu has any other instructions?"
What she meant was, "Is there anything else?" If not, then don't hang around her.
As a result, the little girl actually raised her hand and touched her chin as if she was thinking. In fact, Yu Wanru had already thought of what to do, but she felt that it would be impossible even if she said it.
"Can I study in your school?"
"Huh? How do you know there's a school in my house?"
"I just heard my mother and aunts talking at the dinner table. They said it was a pity to build your school. There are no good students in the village. It's a waste of all the equipment."
"..."
This is truly my biological daughter.
Yu Wanru saw that her expression was a little solemn, and thought that she had been touched by it, so she hurriedly continued.
"But it's different for me. If I, a good candidate, go to your school, not only will it increase your reputation, but it will also attract people who want to get close to my family. When the time comes, they will send their children to study with me and become my classmates and friends. Wouldn't that mean more people will study in your school?"
Lin Jiaojiao watched the girl in front of her become more and more confident as she spoke, and she felt embarrassed to disturb her self-confidence.
