Chapter 566 My connections are awesome (＾－＾) V
The argument between Lin Yuzan and his wife did not last long. After little Yining took a peek and ran back, the doorman's voice was heard outside reporting.
"Master, Madam, Zheng Yuan and his family are here to visit."
When Wan Niang heard the noise, she glanced at Lin Yuzan coldly, ended the meaningless quarrel, and walked out without looking back.
When Zheng Da saw Wan Niang coming out, he added, "Just now at the door, I heard Zheng Yuan and his wife say that they would let the princess hold his boy to get a taste of his nobility."
Wan Niang paused, her eyebrows furrowed, "Did they really say that?"
Zheng Da nodded quickly, and said firmly, "I heard it very clearly, not missing a single word."
At this time, Lin Yuzan also came out of the house. Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Uncle Zheng Yuan is also confused. Sister Qing is still young. How can she hold a newborn baby?"
Then, he smiled at Wan Niang as if nothing had happened, "Isn't it, Madam?"
Wan Niang was still angry and said, "You and the third brother are no less than each other," then hurriedly walked towards the court hall.
Lin Yuzan: ...
He made eye contact with Zheng Da who was still standing there.
Zheng Da quickly took a few steps back, pretending not to hear, and turned back to the gate.
"If a husband's authority is not strong, he will only become a laughing stock!" Lin Yuzan laughed bitterly at himself and walked towards the hall.
Soon, little Yining also learned about the visitor at home, Zheng Yuan, the third son-in-law of Linjia Village. He was the person her grandmother came to remind her father to be careful when her family left Linjia Village.
He is also a loyal servant of her father in the book. Now his fate has changed. He has a wife, children and a good livelihood. Half of the credit for this goes to her father.
The little boy stood up from the chair he hadn't even warmed up yet, and was about to eavesdrop again, but was stopped by Qiu Yi who came back with the news: "Princess, the mistress has told the guests that you have gone to bed, and asked you not to go to the hall."
Little Yining looked up in surprise: "It was mom who said that, not dad?"
Qiu Yi nodded solemnly: "Princess, it was the Madam who said that. The master was playing with the baby at that time."
Little Yining rubbed his butt depressedly and sat back in his chair.
She must listen to her mother's words, otherwise the consequences will be serious.
"Princess, if you want to know what happened, you can ask Qiu Yi to go and listen. You don't have to do everything yourself." Zhao Ya whispered in her ear.
"You see, every time Miss Liu returns to the girls' school, she always knows a lot of things. Although some of them are deliberately done by Lord Liu and Madam Liu, some of them are learned from other places. Princess, why don't you think about how to get the information you want without any effort."
Isn't this just about training spies to gather information?
But the only people around her who could help her were Qiu Yi and Nanny Zhao. Could she possibly pay 13 to buy information?
Little Yining tilted his head and looked at Zhao Ya, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Soon, she remembered someone and asked, "Are you talking about that powerful Baozi brother, Aunt Zhao?"
As soon as these words fell, Xiao Yining heard Zhao Ya's praise: "The princess is really smart! You often show him kindness, he must want to repay you!"
"Speaking of which, after Brother Baozi knew that the princess had returned from her hometown, he started guarding the back door every day again." Qiu Yi also said.
"Princess, look, this Baozi is also a smart man." Zhao Ya continued.
Ah!
The little girl realized later: it turns out that she has an invisible and very powerful network of contacts!
Xiao Yining: (*ˉ︶ˉ*)
Baozi is no ordinary person. Although there is no ink on his name in the book, he is the leader of the beggars in this area.
It was just a coincidence that Xiao Yining came to him for help in finding his second uncle.
Although the alley where the Lin family lived was not a gathering place for the rich and powerful, every family had servants. The back door was used for the servants to go in and out to buy things and to pour out night-time slop. From time to time, beggars of all sizes squatted here, hoping to get a bite of leftovers.
Baozi was one of them, but he was too small to take advantage of the generous people's back door. So in order to survive, he took his friends to grab food.
When little Yining was looking for someone to help, he was taking four or five children to compete with a beggar for food.
At that time, she noticed this hungry wolf-like team leader at a glance, and immediately decided to ask him for help in exchange for ten taels of rice.
Although my second uncle was finally found by Princess Anping, she still often took out some silver from the small treasury to help these orphaned children to the best of her ability.
Her mother also knew about this, and also knew that she used the house that her father bought to do evil things as a food storage base for the beggar.
Thanks to her help, Baozi's group of beggars grew larger and larger.
Naturally, the back door of her house became the exclusive place for steamed buns.
Qiu Yi often heard some interesting anecdotes from him and told them to Xiao Yining.
However, Xiao Yining is currently only eyeing the small piece of land in front of her and does not have any big ambitions, so she has never thought of letting Brother Baozi's team be her spies.
Thinking like this, Xiaowa already had several ideas in her mind. She stood up again and said to herself: "This princess does have a lot of things to ask Brother Baozi for help!"
Zhao Ya showed a relieved expression: "I will lead the way, Princess."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yining held out Erkang's hand and said, "No need. This princess must go secretly and must not let Dad see it."
Zhao Ya: ..., the master should be busy now.
The master and his two servants walked out of the room stealthily, looking left and right as they headed towards the back door.
As luck would have it, this scene happened to be seen by Lin Yuzan.
Lin Yuzan: Tsk...
He took a step to the side, blocking the third brother's sight, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zheng Yuan, if you are not busy, why not eat before leaving? I will let Zheng Da drive you back then."
The third brother smiled innocently and said, "No need, no need. I am a rough man, how can I use the servants of Mr. Lin? It's a pity that I didn't see the young lady. Oh, bah, bah, it's the princess."
As he spoke, he looked around with a sly look in his eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Yuzan chuckled and said, "Uncle Zheng Yuan's arrival is indeed unfortunate. Sister Qing is sleepy and has fallen asleep, so it's not easy to wake her up for fear of startling her."
Zheng Yuan's eyes showed a hint of disappointment, and he slowly said, "That's true. Girls can't stand being scared. They are not as tough as boys."
Changing the subject, he took the opportunity to flatter: "When I was in Linjia Village before, I thought that Mr. Lin's daughter was the most precious. Look, isn't that the case? Now she has become a phoenix. The elders of the clan have to kneel to see your daughter. I don't know how majestic it is!"
Hearing this man's endless chatter, Lin Yuzhan's smile faded without him noticing, replaced by a stern expression. The man behind him didn't notice and continued to talk to himself, "What a great honor to our family!"
Lin Yuzan frowned slightly and interrupted the other party unhappily: "Uncle Zheng Yuan, please be careful with your words. Even though Sister Qing is of noble status, she is still a junior in the clan and will never do anything disrespectful to the elders."
Before he finished speaking, a look of panic immediately appeared on the face of the third brother. He quickly reached out and slapped himself hard on the face several times: "Look at my mouth, I'm just talking nonsense! Mr. Lin, you are a magnanimous person, please don't hold it against me, I am just a brainless and rough man."
After saying this, he looked at Lin Yuzan cautiously, rubbing his hands nervously, his eyes also looked a little flustered, and he stammered, "Mr. Lin, it's getting late now. Jinhua and I have to hurry back to the shop to sell food, and the princess hasn't seen us yet. I want to take Jinhua and Yaozu with me, bow to the princess from a distance at the door, and then leave. Do you think it's okay?"
Lin Yuzan lowered his eyes and stared at the third brother's eyes that were filled with countless thoughts. After a moment's silence, he warned, "Uncle Zheng Yuan, don't speak too loudly."
When the third brother heard this, he was overjoyed and quickly turned around to call his wife and children, completely unaware that the young man's gentle eyes were filled with coldness.
Xiao Yining didn't know that the third brother was still obsessed with her. At this moment, she saw Baozi as she wished and told him what she was going to do.
"Observe Wu'an Marquis' concubine Cui?" Baozi scratched his head in confusion.
"Didn't the princess just acknowledge her son as her godfather?"
Xiao Yining's eyes lit up. She knew that Baozi must be very powerful. He even knew who Wu Haoran's mother was.
She always remembered that the Treasure Pavilion eventually fell into the hands of the heroine, so Cui might have had contact with the heroine, or more likely had business dealings with the hero, otherwise how could she have the perfume formula.
Thinking of this, the little kid nodded quickly, took out a small silver ingot from his purse and gave it to the little beggar, saying, "I heard that my godfather's mother is the young master of the Treasure Pavilion. Baozi, please help me find out what she did to become the young master. I want to be as powerful as her in the future."
Baozi was amused by the kid's wild idea, but he didn't think much about it: "Okay, I will let my brothers watch Cui and see how she runs a business."
He hid the silver ingot in the sole of his shoe and continued, "If the princess needs my help with anything else, please let me know. My brothers said that it is honorable to help the princess."
When Xiao Yining heard this, she felt elated and was about to say a few polite words when she heard a loud call from behind.
"Princess, I brought Yaozu to see you!"
Then, the sound of a baby crying was heard from afar.
Xiao Yining: ...
