The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 518 Returning to Beijing and Encountering Bai Lianhua

The people who were following Lin Xi lost him and returned to the city dejectedly, trying to find an excuse to escape the punishment of their master. While he was thinking hard, he was suddenly covered with a sack and beaten up. This scene happened in different alleys in the capital.

"Humph! Go back and tell your master that if anyone dares to send anyone to snoop around our girl again, she will be the one to be beaten!"

After beating the man up, and then making some harsh remarks, the men clapped their hands and left in style! They did not hide their addresses, as if they were not afraid of being found out by the masters of these servants.

The people who were beaten climbed out of the sacks in a panic, their faces and bodies were covered with bruises. Although it was painful and looked horrifying, their injuries were not serious, just flesh wounds. They staggered back to the mansion to report to their respective masters what had happened to them.

"How dare you! How dare you hit someone from our house? Come here! Go check where those people came from!"

"You are so brave! Let's go and see if those thieves are the ones hired by Lin Xi!"

"I only sent people to follow Cao Fangruo's daughter from a distance, and they were beaten like this. Those people must be Cao Fangruo's men. Daddy must stand up for my daughter!"

......

From different high-walled courtyards came the voices of women, either angry or complaining in a coquettish manner.

After these people found out that the people who beat them were the Regent's men, they all behaved themselves. At the same time, they became even more wary of Lin Xi, Daya and Yuanyuan. The Regent even specially sent people to live next to their yard so that they could obey their orders at any time.

At this time, Lin Xi, who was regarded as their love rival, had already arrived at Linshan Village and was happily delivering things bought from the capital to the villagers. She had no idea that she had become the imaginary enemy of many noble ladies in the capital.

"Uncle village chief, fellow villagers, the regent will ascend the throne on the fifth day of the new year. Because there are things in the capital that need me and these friends to do, I have to go to the capital in advance. Do you want to go together?"

Lin Xi and other villagers put away the gifts, looked at the crowds of people in the rice field and asked.

"We won't go. There's still a lot of work to do in the greenhouse. Those peppers are precious. We have to take good care of them. They can earn a lot of money for the villagers!"

The villagers in charge of the greenhouse looked in the direction of the greenhouse and spoke to Lin Xi.

"We won't go there either. The meat jerky workshop needs people, and people from other villages send meat here from time to time!"

The villagers who usually worked in the dried meat workshop exchanged glances with each other and decided to stay in Linshan Village.

Other villagers wanted to visit the capital, but when they thought about their fields, livestock, and prey in the mountains, they finally decided not to go.

"Lin Xi, although everyone wants to go to the capital, they can't let go of the work in the village. How about this, you take these kids with you, and we will stay in the village to look after the house!"

After the village chief and other villagers finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xi with a loving face and said.

"Okay, let's do this, village chief!"

Lin Xi said to the village chief with a smile, and then asked his friends to prepare things. They set off a quarter of an hour later.

The kids had all gone out with Lin Xi to complete missions, so they moved quickly and gathered by the big locust tree at the entrance of the village in less than a quarter of an hour.

Lin Xi glanced at Xiao Que, and Xiao Que understood. It grew bigger and let the kids sit on its back.

The little bird carried the children higher and higher. After flying above the clouds, it quickly flew towards the capital.

Just like last time, they arrived at a secluded place not far from the capital. The kids got off Xiaoque and ran towards the gate of the capital excitedly, talking and laughing.

"Sister Lin Xi, is that the sweet-scented osmanthus cake my mother mentioned? My mother said it was delicious, sweet and soft!"

After entering the city, the kids looked around curiously. When they reached the street selling snacks, Simazi suddenly pointed at the cakes on the counter of a snack shop, stopped, and couldn't help swallowing.

"Yes, that's osmanthus cake. Your mother loves it. Let's go and try it!"

Lin Xi looked at his friends, touched the heads of Simazi and Goudan who was biting his index finger, and walked towards the dim sum shop.

The kids cheered and followed.

"Boss, I've packed all your snacks for my friends!"

"Okay! Wait a moment, girl! I'll wrap it up right away!"

After hearing what Lin Xi said, the boss was so happy that he smiled and called the waiter over and quickly put the snacks into the paper bag.

After a while, the kids all had a bag of sweet and delicious pastries in their hands. Lin Xi paid the money to the boss, and everyone started shopping while eating.

Lin Xi originally wanted them to go back to the yard to rest first, but seeing that the children were full of energy and eager to explore the capital, he followed them to play.

No matter how capable they are, they are still children and have no resistance to the snacks and toys in the capital. Now it is different from the past. In the past, their families were poor, so they had to be sensible and suppress their desires. They dared not think about any snacks or toys. Now everyone has a lot of money, and they buy what they like without hesitation. Even so, they do not waste. They eat the snacks cleanly and hold the toys in their arms very cherishly.

"Oh my! Whose kid is that? Don't you look where you are going? Look, you've knocked my young lady down!"

A group of people were shopping happily when suddenly a sharp female voice rang out.

"I didn't hit her!"

Lin Xi looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw Goudan with his hands on his waist, pouting, and looking at the people opposite him with an angry face.

"Goudan, what's wrong?"

Lin Xi walked up to Goudan, touched his head and asked.

Her eyes fell on the three masters and servants opposite her. She saw a woman in a gorgeous dress being helped up from the ground by two people who looked like maids. The woman was frowning at the dirt on her dress, and the two maids were looking at Goudan arrogantly and were about to come forward to pinch his face.

Seeing this, the kids from Linshan Village gathered together and stood behind Goudan, looking coldly at the master and servant opposite. Goudan would not lie, if he said he did not hit the woman, then he did not.

Lin Xi narrowed his eyes dangerously and said in a cold voice: "Goudan, what did I teach you?"

When Goudan heard Lin Xi's words, his face turned serious. The crowd watching the excitement did not see how he made the move. They only heard the two maids scream and their hands fell limply!

"My dear young master, you bumped into me. I didn't want to pursue the matter. My maids just wanted you to apologize to me. Why did you break their hands?"

The woman spoke weakly while pretending to wipe her tears with a handkerchief.

Just as she finished her words, she didn't expect a small foot to land on her thigh with such force that she lost her balance and fell heavily backwards.

"Hmph! White Lotus!"

Goudan snorted coldly and moved very quickly. This time, the onlookers didn't see how he made the move. They just saw the young lady fall to the ground in a mess.

The young lady obviously didn't expect Goudan to react like this. She started fighting without saying anything. She sat on the ground, staring blankly at the group of little kids in front of her.

Upon seeing this, the two maids hurriedly used their uninjured hand to help their young lady up, and shouted at Goudan from a distance: "You little rascal, you are so cruel at such a young age. Do you know who my young lady is? How dare you lay hands on her and break our hands? My young lady is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Jingbei! You can just wait to be beaten and thrown into prison!"
