The people left behind in the Lin family were called together to listen to their reports on Lin Ruhai's funeral during this period, and new arrangements were made. It was almost noon, and Jia Lian was ready to go back to the house to rest.
Before he entered the courtyard, he saw a woman and a girl approaching.
Jia Lian had some impression of these two people. They were Daiyu's aunt and cousin.
"I have met the Marquis..."
Seeing the charming smile on the woman's face, Jia Lian couldn't help but frown, nodded slightly and asked, "What's the matter, madam?"
"It's nothing important. I just heard that Mr. Hou has just returned from Yangzhou on business and is now busy with our Lin family's affairs. I want to say thank you for your hard work."
"Well, thank you very much."
Seeing that Jia Lian had no intention of talking to her, and was about to leave, the woman hurriedly caught up and said, "There is one thing. The Marquis must have had a long journey back from a long journey.
I heard that there was no one to serve the Marquis in his house, so I sent my daughter here so that she could take care of the Marquis' daily life during this period."
After saying that, the woman pulled her shy daughter forward and said, "Jiaojiao, don't show me the gift to the Marquis yet."
"Jiaojiao, I have met Mr. Hou..."
Seeing that Jia Lian finally turned around and looked at her daughter seriously, the woman immediately said proudly: "Master Hou, although she is delicate and frail, she is actually very nimble with her hands and feet, and she has a docile personality and is very obedient. I believe she can take care of our Lin family."
It’s the daily life of the Marquis.”
"Jiaojiao, why don't you go in with the Marquis? Don't forget what I told you. The Marquis is the great benefactor of our Lin family. You have to serve him with all your heart. If you dare to get into trouble with your temper, see if I can get around it.
you……"
As if Jia Lian had agreed, the woman began to teach her daughter in person.
When Jia Lian saw this, he shook his head and smiled.
If he remembered correctly, when he escorted his aunt Jia Min's coffin to Suzhou, it was this person named Lin Jiaojiao who occupied Daiyu's house and refused to come out.
How can such a girl be called docile and obedient?
"Thank you madam for your kindness, but there are differences between men and women. Asking sister Jiaojiao to come and take care of me will only damage her reputation, so I'd better skip it."
Jia Lian didn't bother to care about these people's calculations and refused directly. After saying that, he stepped into the courtyard.
The woman wanted to catch up and say something, but was stopped by A Qi and A Qin. She still refused to give up and shouted something loudly at Jia Lian's back.
Seeing that Jia Lianli ignored her and walked away, the woman's expression changed and she cursed at the two maidservants who were blocking her life and death from letting her in: "Let me go, you two cheap maids, how dare you stop me?"
?Do you know who I am? I am Lin Xiangjun’s aunt. I am blind..."
The woman only thought that Aqin and Aqi were just Jia Lian's maids and slaves. She didn't dare to say anything in front of Jia Lian, because she was sure that Jia Lian couldn't hear her, so she naturally scolded them as much as she wanted.
But are Aqi and Aqin good-tempered? Especially Aqi, since he followed Jia Lian, his killings are nothing more than ordinary, whether on the battlefield or in daily work.
They can still respect people like Jia Lian's elders or Daiyu who are obvious to Jia Lian, but how can they allow him to be presumptuous towards such a rude and stupid woman?
When he saw Aqi, he immediately pulled out half of his sword and stared at her with cold eyes.
Ah Qin also said coldly: "Try to curse again?"
The woman had never seen someone who would use a sword if they disagreed. She was so frightened that she took a few steps back. At least she was supported by her daughter and did not fall down.
"Rebellion, rebellion, you..."
The woman wanted to yell, but she was afraid that the other party would actually come up and chop her. She was just thinking about how to regain her face when she saw Daiyu coming from the side corridor with two maids, looking a little unhappy.
Feeling guilty, she immediately wanted to drag her daughter away.
"Auntie!"
"Hahaha, it's Daiyu's little niece. What are you doing here at noon?"
When the woman saw that she was being stopped, she pretended to have just seen Daiyu and stepped forward with a smile.
"I asked the kitchen to stew chicken soup for brother Lian and prepare to deliver it to him. What are my aunt and cousin doing here?"
Looking at Daiyu's frown and sullen face, the woman didn't know that Daiyu had seen what happened just now, and her face was a little sarcastic. But then I thought, isn't it unusual for there to be many women with people like Jia Lian? Besides,
Daiyu was not Jia Lian's first wife, in the end she was just a concubine.
As long as my daughter Jiaojiao can be favored by Jia Lian, she can go to the Duke's Mansion to be the wife of the third wife. Then she will be on an equal footing with Daiyu. What is there to be afraid of?
Therefore, he replied unabashedly: "Haha, it's not because I'm worried about how busy things are at home, but I'm afraid that no one will take care of the Marquis when he comes to our house, so I want to arrange for your sister Jiaojiao to go in and serve the Marquis. Who knows there are two people here?"
My servant, you dare to stop me from entering. It is really unreasonable.
They don't take me seriously, they just don't take you, the Lord of the Country, seriously. You're here just in time, hurry up and teach these two girls who don't know the inferiority of others a lesson!"
The woman saw that after Daiyu appeared, the two fierce-looking maids not only sheathed their swords immediately, but also bowed respectfully to Daiyu, so she thought that they were looking at the dishes, so she instigated Daiyu to help her.
Daiyu took a deep breath, gave the elder one last look, said nothing, turned around and left.
"You...oh, you are getting more and more rude!"
Zijuan didn't want to pay attention to such fools at first. After all, it wasn't worth it for her girl to have such an elder. Seeing that she still dared to be dissatisfied with Daiyu, she finally couldn't help but turned around and said: "I advise aunt to stop those little thoughts early."
Well, what kind of person is Mr. Hou, how could he be fooled by you?
Also, just now you asked these two sisters if they knew your identity, then do you know their identities? I might as well tell you that they are not only the personal bodyguards of the Marquis, but also the third-class royal bodyguards and the fifth-rank official.
Auntie is also bold and insulted the two adults in public. Just because Auntie is using a civilian to offend an official is enough for the two adults to throw you into prison. When the time comes, don't blame us for not reminding Auntie!"
"Stop bluffing me, how is this possible??"
The lady was shocked. She never believed that the two maids were actually officials, and they were even fifth-rank officials?
Zijuan was just out of anger before blaming someone. She didn't care whether she believed it or not. After saying that, she and Xueyan followed Daiyu's footsteps.
After repeated inspections, she felt that Zijuan might not have lied to her, so she finally didn't dare to do it again, snorted, and pulled her daughter away.
…
"girl."
Entering the courtyard, Zijuan saw that Daiyu was in a bad mood, and she was completely different from when she just left the house. She stepped forward and called out with some concern.
She understood the reason why Daiyu was sad. Anyone who was betrayed and hurt by someone close to her would be like this.
They had indeed seen the previous situation, so Chen's purpose of sending her daughter to Jia Lian's room was obvious.
When Jia Lian was away, these distant elders took great care of Daiyu. They greeted them as soon as they met, which made Daiyu change her mind. Who knew that the reason why those people were nice to Daiyu was actually an illusion.
Approaching Jia Lian through Daiyu is hard not to make Daiyu, who is noble and sensitive, feel chilled.
Zijuan originally wanted to comfort Daiyu with a few words, but when Daiyu turned around, her expression showed a rare calmness.
"Zijuan, do you think that second brother Lian often encounters things like this when he is working outside?"
Daiyu's voice was extraordinarily serious, filled with the calmness of careful consideration.
Zijuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, "The girl is right. Everyone can see Mr. Lian's abilities, conditions, and character. Otherwise, how could he have wronged the girl and turned her around?
Where is Second Master Xu Qi Lian?
We can see the benefits of Mr. Lian, and others can naturally see it too. Mr. Lian often works outside, so it is difficult for any young woman to be married not to be tempted by Mr. Lian. If something like this happens,
The situation is inevitable.
Therefore, the girl does not need to be angry about this at all. Just as men's families have been pursuing the most beautiful women since ancient times, it is not surprising that people like Mr. Lian are favored by women's families in the world.
On the contrary, the girl should be happy. On the one hand, a good man like Mr. Lian, who is unique in the world, loves the girl so much, which shows how valuable the girl is. On the other hand, Mr. Lian himself is also a clean and self-sufficient person. The girl also saw it, and just now
Second Master Lian directly rejected Grandma Hong’s proposal.”
Zijuan had a natural tendency not to speak out, but in order to dispel Daiyu's glassy heart, she actually said everything in her heart at once.
"Damn it, let me ask you, who asked you to talk so much."
Daiyu was very annoyed, firstly because of Zijuan's words, and secondly because Zijuan didn't hold back her voice when she spoke, which could easily wake up people in the room.
Sure enough, before the two of them finished speaking, they heard Jia Lian's voice coming from inside the house: "Since you two have arrived, come in. What are you doing outside?"
Seeing this, Zijuan slightly stuck out her tongue, while Xueyan next to her was laughing like she was watching a show.
Daiyu glared at the two of them, then glanced at the food box in Xueyan's hand, and then walked into the house.
This room was decorated by Daiyu herself, so she is very familiar with it.
When he walked inside, he saw that Jia Lian had taken off his outer clothes and was lying on the soft couch, letting Xiang Ling push his shoulders and beat his back.
Daiyu was not surprised by such a scene on the boat down to the south of the Yangtze River. She had also seen Jia Lian take off his shirt and let Xiang Ling step on his back with her bare feet!
Xiangling was sensible. When she saw Daiyu come in, she gave her a few last hammer blows and completed a complete set of actions. Then she rolled down from the couch, bowed to Daiyu and stood aside.
After Jia Lian sat up, he shook his shoulders and saw Daiyu playing with the food box, so he asked her: "It seems that it's not lunch time yet. Why did Sister Lin bring me food?"
Daiyu's face turned slightly red and she said nothing.
Zijuan smiled and said: "What we are sending here is not food... The second master needs to taste it. Our girl spent a long time in the kitchen and made this for him personally."
Hehehe, to be honest, this is the first time our girl has cooked since I met her."
Jia Lian's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Really? Then I have to try it!"
The way the two of them sang in harmony made Daiyu feel less ashamed. She slowly and elegantly filled half a bowl for Jia Lian and was about to bring it to Jia Lian.
Jia Lian was afraid that she would get burned, so he jumped off the bed early and walked over.
Glancing at the exquisite food jar in the food box, Jia Lian blurted out: "Chicken stewed with mushrooms?"
Daiyu and others were all stunned, and then Daiyu said in slight annoyance: "What about chicken stewed with mushrooms? This is Suzhou cuisine, fresh black-bone chicken soup. If you dislike it, I won't let you eat it."
Daiyu said, making a gesture of collecting the bowl.
Jia Lian laughed, picked it up in advance, took a bite with the spoon, and then praised: "Well, it's not bad, it tastes delicious. Try this meat again, um, it's soft and tender, and it's really delicious when paired with it. I didn't expect it."
My sister Lin also has such good cooking skills, good, good, if one day I fail to become a Marquis, with sister Lin’s skills, we can just open a restaurant and the business will be prosperous."
"loquacious."
Daiyu was so amused that she couldn't help laughing.
Although she had tasted it a long time ago and felt that it tasted really good, after all, Lin Daiyu must be good at everything, otherwise, she would not have the nerve to bring it to Jia Lian to taste. But it didn't end there.
Jia Lian came back today, which really made her very happy. Therefore, making a bowl of soup for Jia Lian herself was the way she thought of to repay Jia Lian.
Although she had to ask the cook, Zijuan and others to help her during this process. After all, she didn't dare to kill the chicken, and she couldn't chop the chicken into pieces, but at least Xiangu cut it herself, and she put all the ingredients into the vat herself.
, this is enough for her to do it herself!
"How can I eat such delicious food alone, Zijuan, why don't you bring me a bowl and a spoon."
When Daiyu saw that Jia Lian wanted to eat with her, she refused at first, but when she saw how delicious Jia Lian was eating spoonful after spoonful, she felt happy and had an appetite, so she reluctantly ate half a bowl of chicken with Jia Lian.
She ate several pieces, which was rare for her.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hiccup~ The portion is a bit small. Even the two of us don't have enough to eat. It's hard for Zijuan and the others. They looked at it helplessly for a long time. It's really pitiful. So, Sister Lin, next time
If you want to cook delicious food, remember to cook more so that they can also enjoy my glory."
Seeing Jia Lian burping on purpose, Daiyu was about to say that he didn't pay attention to his image, but when she saw Jia Lian even lifted the pot and poured the last half of the bowl of soup into the bowl to drink, she couldn't help but smile happily.
Got up.
There is nothing more satisfying than being recognized by your lover for the fruits of your labor.
Hearing some questions about Jia Lian's words, he couldn't help but ask: "Since you said you wanted me to do more, how come you are taking advantage of me?"
"Isn't this obvious? Sister Lin, would you know how to cook without me? So, aren't they taking advantage of me?"
Daiyu was speechless. She was ashamed in her heart, but also a little happy, but she said angrily: "Don't be ashamed."
Zijuan and others beside her saw that Daiyu's cheeks were rosy and her skin was radiant. She was completely different from the previous days, and they were very happy for her.
Sure enough, the girl will be so happy only when she is beside Mr. Lian.
After putting away the dishes and spoons, they all wanted to leave with an excuse to leave Daiyu and Daiyu some space alone. Who knew that someone else came from outside to report that a group of officials from Suzhou had heard that Jia Lian had returned to Suzhou and came to pay a special visit.
"Second brother, go quickly and don't worry about me."
"By the way, I asked the kitchen to cook some more food. If my second brother has no other arrangements, he will come to my courtyard at noon and let's have lunch together."
Jia Lian, who walked to the door of the room, couldn't help but look back at Daiyu and then smiled: "Okay."
It's very good. Sister Lin is not only becoming more and more sensible, but also has some attributes of a good wife. This is really rare.
Only I, Jia Daguan, am lucky enough to have such a Lin Daiyu. Haha, how beautiful and joyful it is!
