Chapter 31 Visit the old lady
"Mi'er, go find Qingnuo and ask him to prepare a fine jade Buddha."
Lin Yunmeng asked Mi'er to run some errands. Qingnuo was indeed a born businessman. In just a few months, she brought the store back to life and even opened it in a decent way.
Although it has not reached the edge of his previous life's wealth, it is a good start.
Qingnuo worked very efficiently, and by the way, Mi'er brought back the news that the restaurant Taste Building had been opened. The Taste Building was a restaurant that had been renovated from a shop that had been losing money. Lin Yunmeng wrote it based on the delicacies from various places that she had tasted in her previous life.
A recipe, if done properly, will definitely become a hit.
Lin Yunmeng picked up the jade Buddha and walked towards the deepest courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was close to the Lin family ancestral hall. The old lady had started worshiping Buddha and eating fast since Lin Yunmeng's mother died.
When they arrived at the nameless courtyard, the woman who was pruning flowers at the door saw Lin Yunmeng at a glance. The woman immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Miss, hello, who are you?"
Only the servants around the old lady would be extremely respectful to Lin Yunmeng.
"I haven't seen my grandma for a long time. This is the Jade Buddha I got recently. I know my grandma likes these, so I brought them here specially." Lin Yunmeng replied with a smile.
"The old lady is not in the house now, she went to the Buddhist temple."
"I know, Aunt Sun still keeps these flowers?" Lin Yunmeng looked at the magnolia with a smile. She heard that this was her mother's favorite flower.
Aunt Sun just chuckled: "We are no longer in that batch, can we still keep them there?"
Her specious words made Lin Yunmeng's smile fade slightly.
The old man has gone, no matter how beautiful the flowers are now, they are still not as colorful as they were at the beginning.
Lin Yunmeng took the Jade Buddha to the ancestral hall. Since Lin Tan'er got better, she has been pestering the old lady to please her, but the old lady has always ignored her.
The light in the ancestral hall is dim, and you can vaguely see an old lady with gray hair sitting on her knees, with clear fish-eye sounds coming out, and she is chanting Buddhist scriptures in her mouth.
After Lin Yunmeng nodded to the servant guarding the door, she slowly knelt in front of the Buddha statue. The Buddha's precious appearance made people's impetuous hearts settle down.
She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and prayed devoutly.
She knows that this life is an opportunity given by God. She does not seek to be as powerful as in her previous life, or even achieve great success. She only hopes that she can get her revenge and live a free and comfortable life.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so strong?" Nian Nian's hoarse voice broke the silence. Lin Yunmeng immediately raised her head and met the old lady's turbid eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.
"My granddaughter is just a little confused." Lin Yunmeng handed the Jade Buddha to Gonghou's servant next to her: "This Jade Buddha is made of fine mutton-fat jade. I hope grandma will like it."
The old lady looked at the Buddha with a serious smile, and her slow voice was full of meaning: "I am confused, why should I be so noble and enjoy endless love, but now I am left alone? You have been confused for sixteen years, and you are not clear yet.
What?"
Lin Yunmeng paused and looked calm: "It's clear."
In her previous life, Lin Lin drove her out of the house angrily, even slapped her hard, and said she was severing the relationship, the moment she became clear.
That slap was really painful, but she endured it.
"In the past, your mother and I didn't look at each other. I saw her as all kinds of squeamish and grumpy, and she saw me as old-fashioned and old-fashioned. It wasn't until she died that I realized that she was actually just a mother... someone who was willing to give up her life for her children.
Auntie of life." The old lady seemed to be sighing, with a slight smile on her usually serious face: "Since then, I have seen a lot. Life in this world will be unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, so I have to hold on to the last minute.
Just wishful thinking is enough."
Lin Yunmeng lowered her eyes and looked at the roughened hands in a daze. After this period of training, the originally delicate hands had become increasingly rough.
Does she regret it?
She thought, she has no regrets, because this is not only for herself, but also for the world!
She doesn't want to see Xiao Yubei ascend the throne as emperor, and she doesn't want to see the common people displaced at dawn in the world!
This is her belief.
After bidding farewell to the old lady, Lin Yunmeng corrected her mentality again. She really only wanted revenge at first, and she even wished she could kill Xiao Yubei now.
But after the old lady's words, Lin Yunmeng calmed down and thought carefully.
In the past life, was it just that I was not willing to accept the mispayment of my relationship for many years?
No, she was not willing to personally give such a thing to rule the world. She didn't know what the final result of the world managed by Xiao Yubei would be. She only knew that this world would never be able to prosper without the rule of a wise king.
of.
Lin Yunmeng suddenly realized that she wanted revenge, and she also wanted the people she had been waiting for for many years to have a peaceful era.
This is a wish that is watered with blood and tears as a soldier and a soldier!
Lin Yunmeng's impetuous heart finally calmed down. She stood up and walked outside. Behind her, Mi'er wanted to follow, but Lin Yunmeng stopped her.
"Mi'er, go take a look at the Taste Building and recruit more people. I can rest assured that you will choose them."
Mi'er immediately responded, and the two of them parted ways at the door of the house.
Lin Yunmeng covered her face with a veil, and then came to the Xunhuan Building wearing a Pisces jade pendant.
During the day, the Xunhuan Building was still open to welcome guests, but there were very few guests. When Lin Yunmeng asked the madam to call Gu You by name, she saw that the old madam looked strange: "Oh, girl, you don't know, Gu You is not here now"
Picking up customers."
"Huh? Isn't he a Qingguan? Isn't it also allowed to perform talents?"
"You don't know, that Gu You is now the owner of our building..." The old bustard pinched his thumbs together with his index fingers, which was full of meaning.
"Owner?" Lin Yunmeng frowned: "I'm not looking for Gu You just to see him, but because I have important matters to discuss."
"No matter how serious this matter is, we don't dare to call people without the consent of the poster." As he said this, the madam came closer mysteriously: "Someone ordered Gu You during the supper yesterday. Hey, what does the poster say?
Injured, he rushed in and snatched the person back, and then got furious and told the nanny who had made the decision without permission to get out of the building."
As he said this, the madam's eyes were full of gloating.
"Injured? Your host is called Mu or something?"
"I don't know that. I just know what Gu You called him, Ah Huan?"
"Okay, just tell Gu You directly that the people from yesterday are here to collect their reward."
The madam hesitated for a moment, then nodded without hesitation when Lin Yunmeng handed over a piece of silver.
After a while, the madam asked Lin Yunmeng to follow her to the innermost room on the third floor.
"Well, the host and Gu You are inside. I can't go in. You can do it yourself."
