"Brother, can we get back to the ancestral temple before dark today?"

Jie Chi and Si Zhen had been walking on the street for quite a while.

After they left the ancestral temple, they planned to wait until the time was right before walking to the Runan Marquis' Mansion. However, as they walked around, they felt that giving up eating was a very troublesome thing.

The most important thing is that there are many food stalls on the street, including restaurants, dim sum shops, and some small stalls.

I smelled a lot of fragrance along the way, and some sweet smells. Quitting eating makes my nose feel better.

A gust of wind blew over, and his nose moved slightly, and then -

Ah! The sweet taste of preserved fruit!

Ah! The smell of buns!

Wow! The food smells so good!

Oh... No, this smells like wine and meat.

It's too much torture for him.

"It should be possible." Si Zhen thought they didn't need to stay at the wedding banquet for too long. Looking at Jie Chi, he saw that his eyes were attracted by a small pancake stall in front of him and he couldn't move away for a long time, so he touched the small purse in his arms, "Do you want to eat pancakes?"

When Jie Chi heard him ask this, he swallowed subconsciously and then shook his head quickly.

"I don't eat it."

They wanted to save their stomachs for the wedding banquet at the Marquis of Runan's Mansion.

If I eat pancakes now, I won’t be able to eat them later.

"Well, let's go around again."

"Okay... eh?"

Jie Chi just responded and saw Lu Zhaoling.

"Isn't that Benefactor Lu?"

"No, no, no?" Si Zhen perked up.

Jie Chi pointed with his finger and started walking towards that direction.

Lu Zhaoling couldn't go to the Runan Marquis' Mansion to join in the fun today, so she took Qingyin, Qingbao, and Jiang Yongmiao out for some shopping.

Having been away from the capital for so long, she also wanted to see what new things there were in the capital.

Ma Xiaoliu drove a carriage to take Yin Yunting, Rong Jingjing and others to the banquet today, because Dai Xu asked Ma Xiaoliu to attend the wedding banquet as well.

Lu Zhaoling asked Qingyu to drive the carriage and follow behind, and she also brought her master and uncle with her.

It’s just that the master and his uncle didn’t stay too close to these girls, and they visited their own shops.

For example, now Lu Zhaoling and her friends have entered a shop selling snacks and preserved fruits.

But my master and his uncle went into the next shop which sold various porcelain ornaments.

As soon as Lu Zhaoling and her friends entered the shop, they found someone they knew.

The one who was greeting the mother and daughter with a smile was Lu Rulian.

Lu Zhaoling almost didn't recognize Lu Rulian at first.

Because Lu Rulian looked a little fatter, she was wearing a white dress with a blue edge and a light blue apron tied around her waist, and her skin was obviously two shades whiter.

At first glance, it is completely different from when I first came to the capital from the countryside.

"Ma'am, the lady bought these candied apricots here last time. You can try them too."

Lu Rulian greeted the mother and daughter enthusiastically. The little girl was very surprised, "Do you remember what I bought?"

"Remember, remember, the young lady is so pretty and generous, I was deeply impressed."

Lu Rulian praised sincerely, which made the little girl very happy.

"Mom, let's buy a few more this time. Last time I just bought one and I don't even remember what it was. I was just thinking about how to say it, but I didn't expect this sister to remember it. Let's also buy those candied apricots and let her introduce a few more to us."

"Okay, all up to you." The lady was also quite satisfied with Lu Rulian.

Lu Rulian's smile deepened.

Lu Zhaoling saw this scene.

She was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Lu Rulian had found a job in the capital and was selling things in this shop.

And she did a pretty good job at it.

Looking at her face again, it turns out that she has the lucky star moving around, and she will have a good marriage.

But Lu Rulian's kinship was largely weakened.

Lu Zhaoling thought about it and understood that it seemed that Lu Rulian wanted to draw a clear line with the old Lu family.

I don’t know whether the Lu family can agree to her request.

Lu Rulian had made another deal, selling several kinds of preserved fruits to the mother and daughter. She looked up and saw Lu Zhaoling and others.

"Zhao..."

She wanted to call Zhao Ling, but she only said one word and swallowed the sound back in a hurry.

"Ms. Lu, are you back in Beijing?" Lu Rulian changed her address, not daring to look Lu Zhaoling directly in the eye.

She had not forgotten how the people of the old Lu family treated Lu Zhaoling in the past and how she had treated Lu Zhaoling in the past.

Looking back now, Lu Rulian no longer knows what was in her head before.

It seemed that she suddenly woke up on the day she entered the capital, when she suddenly saw her own people, her second uncle's appearance, and learned about Jin Qiaozhen's true identity.

It also made her re-examine the path she would take in the future.

Originally, their Lu family was going to be implicated because of Jin Qiaozhen's matter. After half a year of worrying and being controlled by the fear that the whole family would be beheaded at any time, Lu Rulian became more determined that she should live her life according to her abilities and not be too greedy.

Although Lu Zhaoyun became famous because of her son, she was not very happy. She always felt that the current situation of the Lu family was like a mirage and not real at all.

So she didn't tell her family and went out quietly to find a job.

I haven't found a marriage yet, so I have to earn some money to support myself.

At the beginning, she encountered many setbacks and was almost captured as a concubine by an old man who was old enough to be her grandfather.

After several thrilling experiences, she finally found such a job.

In this shop, she helped the boss greet customers. If she sold enough preserved fruit snacks every day, the boss would give her a small bag of preserved fruits to take home.

She was very satisfied with the thirty cents she earned every month.

Of course, she would also observe carefully the customers who came to buy things, and try to extract some useful information from what they said, such as who had a son, who was of suitable age, what his temperament and conditions were, and if there was a suitable one, she still wanted to marry herself off.

As for the Sun family...

Could she say that this shop was opened by Madam Sun's sister-in-law? !

Lu Zhaoling was a little surprised when she heard Lu Rulian call her Miss Lu.

"Miss Lu, I am doing my job here honestly," Lu Rulian was afraid that Lu Zhaoling would get angry and ruin her job. She felt a little uneasy, so she walked out and bowed to Lu Zhaoling, pleading, "I really won't disturb you, and I won't do anything wrong. I really need this job..."

Lu Zhaoling interrupted her, "I'm just strolling around. I'm not interested in causing trouble for you."

Lu Rulian breathed a sigh of relief.

"So what do you want to buy?"

"Donor Lu!"

Outside, Jie Chi ran over happily and was about to step over the threshold. He was still very excited to see Lu Zhaoling.

Suddenly, two people came quickly from the side, and one of them stretched out his hand and pushed Jie Chi hard.

"Get out of the way, little bald donkey!"

Qingyin reacted very quickly. She flashed to Jie Chi's side and supported him.

If she hadn't reached out in time, Jie Chi would have fallen to the ground.
