After Lin Guan'er was driven back to the Lin family, she was put in solitary confinement by her father, and Mrs. Lin was also scolded.
Mr. Lin was a very clean man and had few concubines around him. His only aunt still cared about Mrs. Lin. After giving birth to Lin Guan'er and her health was not getting better, Mrs. Lin went out to buy a good concubine for Mr. Lin.
My aunt's surname is Zheng. She is a gentle and kind-hearted person. Her favorite things are reading and painting. She does not compete for favors and looks like she is peacefully passing through the years.
These days, Mr. Lin is extremely disappointed with Mrs. Lin because of Lin Guan'er's incident, and he stays with Aunt Zheng almost every day.
Mrs. Lin was in charge of the household, and whenever she spoke, she would talk about the family's petty and trivial matters. Because Aunt Zheng was not favored, she was a good concubine, and had no heirs, so Mrs. Lin was much more tolerant towards her.
She had nothing to do every day, so she would plant flowers, read books, and play the piano. She lived a comfortable and comfortable life. Mr. Lin rarely stayed with her on weekdays. Now that he is used to it, he actually likes Aunt Zheng's.
With good temperament, you can live a comfortable and emotional life.
After court that day, as soon as Mr. Lin came back, he heard the noise in Mrs. Lin's yard. He frowned, took back his foot that had been inserted, and turned around to go to Aunt Zheng's yard.
When Mr. Lin came, Aunt Zheng was pruning the branches of the flowers. When she saw Mr. Lin coming, she hurriedly put down the scissors and asked, "Is this the time for the court?"
"It's such a hot day, why are you still outside, and you're not afraid of the heat?" Master Lin looked at Aunt Zheng and naturally held her hand.
Aunt Zheng quickly retracted her hand: "I just got muddy and haven't washed my hands yet. Don't get your hands dirty by then!"
Mr. Lin was stunned for a moment, then held Aunt Zheng's hand: "Mud is the cleanest thing. The rice and wheat we eat grow from mud. Why should I dislike mud as dirty?"
Aunt Zheng's face turned slightly red, but she didn't say anything else. She just followed Mr. Lin into the house. Just as she was about to sit down, she saw Mr. Lin's head covered with sweat, so she called to the girl: "Go tell me about the herbal tea I made."
come over!"
"No need, I don't like that stuff, it's bitter and astringent, I can't drink it!" When Master Lin mentioned the herbal tea, he couldn't help but frown, with a look of disgust on his face.
"I know that I don't like the taste of herbal tea. I made this recipe myself. It's not bitter or astringent. Can I try it?" Aunt Zheng persuaded in a low voice, "If it doesn't taste good, I'll try it later."
I won’t do it!”
Master Lin couldn't bear Aunt Zheng's disappointment, so he still agreed: "Go and serve it. If it doesn't taste good, don't do it next time!"
Aunt Zheng naturally agreed.
When the maid came over with herbal tea, Master Lin smelled the fragrance of tea from a distance: "Huh? Is this herbal tea?"
Aunt Zheng brought the herbal tea to Mr. Lin: "This is the tea soup I made with green tea, mint, honeysuckle and chrysanthemum, and then mixed with iced milk. I have tasted it. It is ice cold and cool, especially for relieving summer heat!"
"
When the herbal tea was served, the cup was still cold. Mr. Lin smelled the strong aroma of the tea and immediately moved his index finger. After taking a tentative sip, he couldn't stop: "Well, it tastes good, it does taste good!
"
Seeing that Mr. Lin liked it, Aunt Zheng smiled and said: "The girl was laughing at me just now, saying that this is not herbal tea, but just sugar water. I think so, but I added a lot of herbal medicine. Suddenly, it turned out that
I don’t know whether to call herbal tea or sugar water!”
Mr. Lin glanced at Aunt Zheng, then took her hand and said: "Whether it's sugar water or herbal tea, you have worked hard to make it. Thank you for your hard work!"
Aunt Zheng smiled and said: "This is what I should do! The weather was sultry, so I asked my servants to bring a bowl to the eldest lady and the girl. When the servant came back, she told me that the girl was crying in the yard.
So awesome..."
"The eldest lady asked you to persuade me to let that girl go!" Mr. Lin interrupted Aunt Zheng, his eyes became a little cold, "Do you know what mistake she made?"
Aunt Zheng shook her head aggrievedly: "Young girl's family is just having fun, how many serious mistakes can she make?"
"If it's just a fight between the girl's family, do I need to punish her like this?" Mr. Lin let out a long sigh, "Guan'er is the last child of the eldest lady and I, and we are both the most important.
I spoiled her rotten by doting on her, and I didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, but I actually kicked her cousin's concubine and broke her sternum!"
"Ah? It's so serious!" Aunt Zheng's face was full of surprise.
"That woman is also very lucky. Nothing happened to her. She just needs to take good care of her for a while. If something happens to that woman, she is not a lowly slave who can be beaten and scolded at will. Hand over a piece of paper. My
I can't even keep my black gauze hat!" Mr. Lin frowned, "This is at the feet of the Emperor. How can I hide anything from His Majesty? Because of this matter, I was even called into the kilometer to give a lecture!"
Aunt Zheng is also a concubine. When she hears these things, she will inevitably feel sad.
Master Lin looked at Aunt Zheng: "So, it's time for Guan'er to reflect and reflect, lest she cause a huge disaster one day!"
Now that Mr. Lin has said this, Aunt Zheng will naturally stop trying to persuade her. She is just a little worried: "Then the Marquis of Wuchang didn't say anything?"
When he talked about the Wuchang Marquis Mansion, Mr. Lin got even more troubled: "I said I didn't say anything, but that damn girl, what a coincidence, I offended the most difficult and awkward Lao Wu.
The next day, I asked the eldest lady to bring Guan'er back. That was all. She blocked me at the entrance of the palace, stopped me, and told me the matter directly in front of many colleagues. It was really... ugh
!”
When Aunt Zheng heard Mr. Lin's sigh, she knew that this incident had made him lose his reputation, and she was probably angry in her heart. It was just because she was unreasonable. If it was really untenable to argue with them, then she would
Tolerate it.
"That Mr. Su also felt sorry for his bedside man, but he didn't do it in a very authentic way. After all, the two families are in-laws. If there is something that cannot be discussed in private, if he insists on making things like this, isn't it making others laugh?
"Aunt Zheng said with some disapproval.
"Who says it's not the case!" Mr. Lin sighed, "Mrs. Su has asked people to come to me again and again, thinking about asking me to help Su Wu find a job in the capital. Now that things have become like this, I will help him again.
Doesn’t it make it look like I have a warm face but a cold butt? I can’t afford to embarrass this person!”
