Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

Shi Jingke is a veteran after all. He wiped the sweat from his face and quickly accepted the scene that just happened. After all, making money is real.

As soon as he got home, Shi Jingke handed over the money he had and told Mrs. Shi the truth.

"Master, in that case, we have to go find Shu'er quickly to discuss countermeasures. After all, neither the Marquis nor the Prince is someone we can afford to offend."

So Shi Jingke and Mrs. Shi came to Lin Shu's house non-stop.

Shi Jingke and Mrs. Shi suddenly came to the door. Lin Shu and Su Yi were very confused. They just came back yesterday, and today Shi Jingke and his wife came directly to the house.

Su Yi saluted the old couple and helped Mrs. Shi get out of the carriage.

"Uncle, aunt, has something happened? If someone comes to tell you something, I will take Shu'er to visit you two. There is no need for uncle and mother to come to the door themselves."

"It's not your uncle. He brought the hot rice in the food box that Shu'er gave him early this morning to show off. Seeing this, other colleagues asked your uncle to help make the food box. Your uncle also charged them ten taels of silver each for the food box. It was Shu'er who gave the land, and your uncle and I didn't know which blacksmith shop it was made at, so we came to ask Shu'er."

After finding out the purpose of Shi Jingke and his wife's visit, Su Yi first invited them into the hall.

"Aunt, Shu'er and Mother Lin are preparing dinner and will be here soon. Please wait a moment."

Then he turned to Su Yuanyuan and said:

"Yuanyuan, go tell Mother Lin that your uncle and aunt are here. Please make two more dinners and ask your sister-in-law to come over."

"it is good."

Su Yuanyuan ran toward the kitchen on her short legs.

"Uncle and aunt take a rest first, please drink tea."

Seeing Su Yi being so polite, Shi Jingke and Mrs. Shi were very pleased.

After a while, Lin Shu came.

"Uncle and aunt, Shu'er is rude and kept you waiting for so long."

Mrs. Shi quickly stepped forward and held Lin Shu's hand.

Seeing this, Su Yi voluntarily stepped back and went to the kitchen to help Lin's mother cook to entertain Shi Jingke and Mrs. Shi.

"Shu'er, your uncle has offended two giant Buddhas. He has to resolve the trouble at hand today, otherwise we don't know how angry these two big shots will be."

Lin Shu was also shocked when she learned the purpose of Mrs. Shi's visit. She remembered that this food box did not cause such a big stir in the previous life. Why was it that people were clamoring for it this time when Shi Jingke brought it to the morning court?

Before Lin Shu had time to react, when Shi Jingke told Lin Shu about his experience in the afternoon, Lin Shu's heart tightened when she heard the names of Xiao Yan and Xian Wang again.

Why did Xiao Yan, who married himself in the previous life, and Xian Wang, who married Shi Ying, get in front of Shi Jingke?The structure of the food box is simple, and you can tell how to make it at a glance. Why did Xiao Yan and King Xian ask Shi Jingke to make it?

Lin Shu couldn't figure this out, but no matter what the reason was, she wanted to help Shi Jingke get through this difficulty now, and let Shi Jingke get in touch with important people after this incident passed.

Although Chaoyi Lang had a small official salary, he was able to relax and did not need to participate in the fights of big shots. Shi Jingke had been working as a gangster for more than [-] years. He was about to retire and return to his hometown. Nothing could go wrong, not to mention that the Sixth Prince was going to rebel later. Lin Shu Shi Jingke cannot be allowed to get involved in those disturbances.

"Uncle, I will solve this matter for you. I made a custom-made food box at Blacksmith Chen's shop two streets away. I believe Blacksmith Chen also has experience. I will take you there after dinner and give you more money. Let Tiejiang Chen prepare the food boxes for Prince Xian and Lord Xiao first. As for the food boxes for your other colleagues, you can explain them to them when you go to court tomorrow and give them to them later, but..."

"Just what?" Seeing Lin Shu's expression of embarrassment, Mrs. Shi quickly asked.

"Shu'er, if you have any difficulties, just tell your aunt, money is not an issue now."

"Uncle, you are overly worried. It's just that your uncle is only a sixth-grade imperial minister. He has always kept a low profile. Suddenly, he was noticed by two big shots. Shu'er is worried about any changes in the imperial court. Otherwise, how could they come to you? Maybe you can help customize the order. The food box is just an excuse, could it be that he wants to win over you? My uncle has been acting more cautiously these days."

Mrs. Shi laughed after knowing Lin Shu's concerns.

"There's no need to worry about this Shu'er. As cowardly as your uncle is, Prince Xian and Lord Xiao don't need to win over him. What's more, your uncle has almost no sense of presence in the court. There's no point in trying to win over him. If your cousin can pass the exam next year , your uncle retired and returned home."

"Since my aunt said so, Shu'er is worrying too much."

Lin Shu thought that maybe it was because of her previous life experience that she felt uneasy.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Su Yi came up with several plates of food on a tray.

"Uncle, aunt, madam, how was your chat? Dinner is ready. You can start after you wash your hands."

Shi Jingke and his wife looked around, looking for a basin to clean their hands.

"Uncle and aunt, clean your hands in the courtyard."

Su Yi walked to the well, pressed down with his hand, and the water came out.

Mrs. Shi was very surprised.

"Our well is in the kitchen. I didn't know there was another well in the courtyard of Lin's house."

"This location is against the corner. It used to be blocked by a few broken wooden boards. It was just cleared out recently." Lin Shu explained with a smile.

After washing their hands, several people sat down one after another.

"Mother Lin, please sit down and eat with us!" Seeing that Mother Lin was busy, Mrs. Shi invited Mother Lin to have dinner with her.

Because the Shi Mansion has a small population, there are not many rules. If Shi Jingke is not at home, Mrs. Shi will ask Mama Xia to come to the table to eat with her, so Mrs. Shi does not care about too many rules.

"Mrs. Uncle, old slave, there is some food left in the kitchen. You can enjoy it slowly. I will go to the kitchen to eat together, so I won't disturb you all."

"Mother Lin, it's better to eat with us! Uncle and aunt are not outsiders." Lin Shu also motioned to Mother Lin to stay and eat together.

"Miss, I know you are kind-hearted and don't want to see me, an old woman, eating alone. According to the rules of a wealthy family, servants are not allowed to serve on the table. I used to eat with Xia's mother in the Shi Mansion, but now I live with the young lady and my uncle. , you and my uncle are kind-hearted. It is my blessing to have my uncle at the table. This is the first time for my uncle and my uncle to come, so I won’t bother you much. You can enjoy it slowly. If there is anything, let me know. One sound."

So Mother Lin declined the invitation from Lin Shu and Mrs. Shi and went back to the kitchen.

"Shu'er, Mother Lin is the only one who followed you wholeheartedly after your parents passed away. She is also a sensible person and she is older. You must treat her kindly in the future." Shi Jingke warned.

"Shu'er understands, come on, let uncle eat fish. This is made by Su Yi himself."

Lin Shu used serving chopsticks to give Shi Jingke and Mrs. Shi a piece of fish each, and served them soup with great care. Shi Jingke and Mrs. Shi felt very warm in their hearts.
