Chapter 43: The Winter Solstice

November has entered, and soon it will be the winter solstice. Some deserted streets in the capital gradually become lively, with various lights and colorful decorations ready to welcome the unique excitement of winter.

Lin Wan and Mrs. Liu stayed at Cishou Temple until the end of November, and went to Cishou Temple twice during the trip, but Jiwu was still a "visitor who has not returned". Mrs. Liu kept sighing with a grimace for several days.

Lin Wan persuaded him to stop, but he was still worried and stayed for a few more days. Finally, he had to take Lin Wan back home.

The Chong'an Marquis Mansion is very busy. Mrs. Feng and Grandma Qian are summarizing the accounts of various places, and they have to straighten them out before the Laba Festival, so as to arrange for people from all over the place to go home for the New Year. There are a lot of things.

, both of them were too busy to keep their feet off the ground.

Since Mrs. Yang was brought back, she had been silent for the first two days, but became more and more unable to sit still. Within ten days, Mrs. Yang went to Lin Zhiqing to have a fight, and the couple got into a fight.

Fortunately, the wives caught him. The second master, Lin Zhiqing, was so angry that he went to live in a village outside the city to hide out.

Lin Zhiyuan, the Marquis of Chong'an, was even more busy and couldn't take care of such trivial matters at home. He only asked Butler Lin to reduce Lin Zhiqing's monthly salary and let the second room make trouble!

"Go back to Madam, the third girl is here." In Yimei Courtyard, Mrs. Liu was talking sadly to Aunt Wei, when Miao'er opened the curtain and came in to reply.

Mrs. Liu frowned even more, then sighed helplessly and ordered in a tired voice: "Please invite the third girl to come in."

Lin Zhi walked all the way into Mrs. Liu's house, bowed her knees and said hello to Mrs. Liu first, with some concern and worry on her face, and asked hesitantly: "I haven't seen my third aunt and my sixth sister in a few days? Third aunt lives outside.

But is it okay?”

Mrs. Liu forced a smile at Lin Zhi, "That's all good! Thank you for thinking about me." After saying this, she changed the topic and asked, "How is your mother?"

Lin Zhi was startled. She had nothing to say, but she had nothing to say. It took her a long time to come back to her senses and realize that Mrs. Liu was asking about Mrs. Feng. During these days, she could not see her aunt at all. She thought

Then she said with a pale smile: "Mom, it's almost the end of the year, so I'm a little busy. I can't take care of other things..." As she said that, the circles under her eyes gradually turned red. Lin Zhi gently rubbed the handkerchief and lowered her head.

He held his head, indescribably supple.

Mrs. Liu had no time to pay attention to her, so she changed her conversation and asked about Lin Zhi's embroidery work.

Lin Zhi stayed there for a while, feeling increasingly unsure and unable to hold back the smile in her eyes. She also knew that there were rumors outside that the sixth sister and third aunt must be a little worried, but she couldn't help it! She was already seventeen,

It's eighteen years after the New Year, and her aunt has no involvement in her marriage, so she can only grasp at the third room as a life-saving straw! No matter what, Lin Wan is better than her! She only has more to do with the third room.

To put it bluntly, my aunt will give face to the third aunt and the sixth sister! Besides, she doesn’t have high demands. Last time she was at the Yuan family, she really didn’t expect to see such an outstanding son. She didn’t expect to see such an outstanding son like Wu Lang of the Wang family.

Dare to hope, but Yuan Sanlang...

Lin Zhi thought about it, then she stopped talking and smiled at Ms. Liu: "Thank you, Third Aunt, for teaching me. What is Sixth Sister doing at home? My ex-son just got a pair of white jade chess pieces. I thought Sixth Sister would like it so I kept it. If Sixth Sister gets it,

Kong, I will send it to her today."

Mrs. Liu smiled kindly and gently, pulled Lin Zhi and said, "This is because you love your sixth sister. She is idle. You can go ahead and let the two sisters talk."

Lin Zhi said goodbye with a busy smile, and when she left the house, she told the little girl who was accompanying her to go back to the house to get something from the girl in charge, and then went to Lin Wan's house.

In the house, Lin Wan and Yuzhu were looking at the account books of various shops. The little girl came into the room and replied, saying that the third girl was here. Lin Wan raised her eyebrows in surprise, and then told Yuzhu to clean up briefly and put on her own clothes.

Putting on his shoes, he went out and said with a smile: "Why do you have time to come here, Third Sister? Come in and sit down! - Forsythia pours tea!"

Lin Zhi was relieved by the gentle smile on Lin Wan's face. She smiled and took Lin Wan's hand. "I have been idle all the time, but Sixth Sister is busy!"

The two of them entered the house as they talked. Lin Zhi took the box from the little girl's hand and handed it to Lin Wan, saying: "My ex got a set of chess pieces. I thought that Sixth Sister would like these things, so I kept them. Sixth Sister, don't dislike it."

, can’t compare to the stuff from Shuyuzhai!”

"Of course Third Sister's things are good! I've got a big deal, how dare I dissent!" Lin Wan opened the box with a smile, gently caressed the shiny white jade chess pieces in her hand, and exclaimed, "This is a real bargain."

Such good stuff! I don’t even dare to accept it anymore!”

Lin Zhi panicked, hurriedly waved her hands and said with a smile: "Sixth sister, just like it! It's just some gadgets, not worth much, just a little bit of my affection as a sister."

Lin Wan glanced at Lin Zhi without leaving any trace, the smile in her eyes deepened, and without any further delay, she handed the box to Yuzhu for collection.

Lin Zhi looked behind Lin Wan, and her eyes touched a stack of account books on the kang. Her eyes darkened, and a trace of sadness and self-mockery flashed through her heart. When she came back to her senses, she realized that Lin Wan had been staring at her with a smile on Lin Zhi's face.

As soon as I got hot, I panicked, and I hurriedly put on a smile and said reluctantly: "I thought the sixth sister was fine, but I didn't expect that my sister would still want to see these things."

Lin Wan glanced back following Lin Zhi's gaze and said with a smile: "It's just something my mother asked me to learn how to manage, to pass the time! It's my turn to be busy! That little fan the third sister mentioned last time

How is the screen embroidery going?"

Seeing Lin Wan change the topic, Lin Zhi reluctantly suppressed the inexplicable jealousy in her heart and chatted with Lin Wan for a while. Finally, she couldn't sit still anymore and took the girl to leave.

She originally thought that those rumors outside were hurtful, and Lin Wan would have a worried life. She thought a lot about comforting words, but in the end, what she saw was Lin Wan calmly imitating the management of a housekeeper. A housekeeper, ha, Lin Zhi laughed at herself

Smiling, Lin Wan was nearly three years younger than her, but she had never been able to learn housekeeping from her aunt!

Lin Zhi walked out of Yimei Courtyard with mixed emotions, and stood dazed in the snow for a long time.

In the second room, Mrs. Yang was circling around the room irritably, but she suddenly stopped, pointed at Lin Min and frowned: "You said, she has never shown you and your brother a marriage?"

"

Lin Min made a cold sound sarcastically, stared at Cuizhu and shouted: "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me? Go get a basin of silver charcoal quickly!"

Cuizhu glanced at Lin Min's face, shrank back with a dull face, and quickly retreated to the door. Then he raised his eyes and glanced at the two people in the room, opened his mouth, and finally went to the main room in silence.

Each house has a share of silver charcoal. If the second house asks for more, the eldest lady will definitely not give it to her. Thinking of this, Cuizhu squeezed the handkerchief tightly in her hand and let out a long sigh.

"Yintan? What's wrong? Is the mother-in-law in your house more valuable than other women in our house, or is it the girl in your house who is more valuable than others? It's the same situation. Other places are better, but your house is better.

Isn’t it too little? You really don’t know how valuable rice is when you’re not a family member! The price of silver charcoal is based on money. Our family has been wealthy for generations, but we can’t compare with those wealthy people!” After hearing Cuizhu’s dull reply, Mrs. Qian’s head was shaking.

He sneered without looking up, and said sarcastically while directing the woman.

Cuizhu stood numbly for a long time before saluting Grandma Qian and leaving the room. Grandma Qian looked at Cuizhu's back, snorted softly, and then turned to look at the account book.
