Lin Zhixiu and Mrs. Lin bowed and left, and accompanied by Grandma Wang, they left the yard.
This battle made me cry, laugh, and scream...it's really tiring! But...I'm still successful!
This girl walked unhurriedly, her steps were light and even, her little leather boots lightly kicked her skirt, and she was like a cloud in the breeze... She didn't even look around. This is what is called being calm and relaxed, right?
Grandma Wang saw it in her eyes and thought secretly.
The pretty girl who was following her had a fluttering envelope in her hand and was thrust into it by Grandma Wang.
As soon as Grandma Wang took it, she felt excited. Such a light envelope... could it be a banknote?!
If it were really a bank note, it would have cost five taels to start with. Oh my God! These three girls are very generous! I won’t misunderstand... Aunt Wang was a little worried about gains and losses. She quickly whispered, "Girl, this, this is too much."
too much……"
Just now, she had been in the corner, looking at the little girl with all kinds of tricks... Now, she became confident and leisurely again, which was completely different from just now.
Lin Zhixiu smiled, "Don't be nervous, Aunt Wang, this is just a greeting. From now on we will always get along, and there will be many benefits for you! I entered the house with a black eye, and no one understands what to say! No!
What makes you embarrassed is just to avoid taking some detours and making grandma less angry."
Aunt Wang said, "Third Miss, you're being polite. These things are what slaves should do, why should you do this... The second master and second wife are gone, so you have to hold on to the money in your hands tighter." Aunt Wang's
Her husband is the steward of the house, and her eldest son is particularly capable and good at calculating. He is the accountant of the family. She has an easy life, so she is more particular about what she does.
Lin Zhixiu thought, well, just by saying this, he can be regarded as a real person! "I am really tired from the journey. I just entered the house, so spending some money to save trouble is nothing. However, thank you Aunt Wang for the pointer."
Aunt Wang said, "Miss, if you say this, I won't be polite anymore. Third Miss, our old lady doesn't take care of things much now. The whole backyard is taken care of by the First Lady. Third Miss, she is the niece of the old lady's mother's family."
, the old lady values her very much. There is also the eldest aunt. This is the only girl in this generation of the Lin family, so the old lady and the old lady love her the most. The eldest aunt married well, and the eldest daughter even entered the palace. These few
At home..." But I can't afford to offend.
"Mommy, if you think so, if I don't offend the eldest lady and eldest aunt, I will live in a nest with a weasel... Haha!" Lin Zhixiu smiled like a flower.
Aunt Wang nodded, "That's it this time. You have to be more careful in the future. You are a junior and there are many things you can't do about... However, if the old man and the old lady value you, there is nothing to worry about."
How can it be that easy?
Their "valuation"... comes with a price tag!
With that said, he walked to Chaoyunju.
There is an osmanthus tree and a few lilac bushes on one side of the door.
The old lady and the old lady have only one daughter, Lin Jiangwan. Especially since she was a child, she has grown up well, is very capable, and has married well. Her son-in-law has also done some things for the house. Therefore, the old lady loves her very much and hopes that she can come back often.
Live in my natal family.
However, as the wife of the head of the Yan family, how could she have so many opportunities to go back to live with her parents' family! That didn't sound right. Therefore, there were more opportunities for her two daughters to come and live in this courtyard. Later, the eldest daughter Yan Yun entered the palace.
, only the youngest daughter Yan Xin often comes to stay.
The yard is kept clean and tidy, the house is ventilated and cleaned every day, and the window screens are changed every year, so there is no odor. The flowers and plants in the yard are well maintained, the paths are clean, and even if you fall down, your clothes will not get dirty.
Lin Zhixiu entered the courtyard, and people had already begun to move things in.
Nanny Song took people to look around and was busy there. "Put these things in the main room, but be careful, as they are afraid of being bumped. Those five boxes are the girl's bedding, so put them in the bedroom."
Lin Zhixiu looked at the ornaments in the room. "Everyone is tired today, so we won't move on these things for now. After tomorrow's break, we will put away all these ornaments and ask my aunt to send someone to collect them. From now on, we will put them in the house."
Just the items I use on a daily basis are fine.”
"yes."
"As for the furniture, let's use this first today. The furniture we brought, see if there is any that has become loose on the road. If not, just replace it. Just use our own bedding. I heard my mother say that she is at the house
There is also a set of furniture and a bed that my grandmother made for my mother. Let my aunt find it later and use that one."
Aunt Wang whispered, "That set of furniture is still placed in your father's yard. Now, it is the eldest son of the third master, and the second master of our family lives there."
Lin Zhixiu snorted, "Even if you live in that courtyard, you won't use my mother's dowry, right? Or use your aunt's dowry? Haha, it can't be so incompetent, right?!"
When Aunt Wang heard this, she felt a little upset in her heart. She looked around and whispered, "Second Master, our old lady dotes on you and you have a very good temper... When you ask for something, you have to pay attention to your propriety..."
"If I want my mother's dowry, why should I pay attention? He doesn't have a mother, so he will be fine."
"Oh, my lady, please keep your voice down, that person is really not a good-tempered person."
"Okay, I understand."
It took a while to carry all her things in, and Grandma Song took the girl to count them.
The man who moved the things accepted the generous reward and left happily.
Several girls cleaned the house where she lived. They laid out bedding, hung up the curtains, took out toiletries, a Western mirror, and the incense burner and started to incense. They hung up the embroidered Yunjin gauze curtains, and placed some regular pottery on the dressing table.
The jewelry and hair combing tools she used, and the clothes and shoes she wore at home were also put away in an orderly manner.
After a while, a sophisticated boudoir was organized.
Lin Zhixiu said, "Aunt Wang, Aunt Song, and the others have rented a courtyard nearby. Come back, could you please tell the door so they can come in and out easily."
"Just tell me how many house numbers you need. Do you have enough people waiting for you?"
"Currently, there is Aunt Song, four big girls, and four second-class ones. These are what I am used to. For third-class or rough ones, just follow the arrangements of the eldest aunt. There are also some companion rooms for my mother, which are all arranged
I arranged to live in a nearby yard."
Queen Wang said, "Okay, grandma, let someone bring you hot water first. After you wash up, you can rest for a while."
Lin Zhixiu smiled and nodded.
Grandma Wang thought to herself, this girl is quite good, those people just now were really...so she quickly arranged for someone to deliver hot water here.
Chaoyun Juli was very busy.
Mrs. Lin Wu of the Lin family was visiting Mrs. Lin Si for a chat.
Lin Xi, the fifth master of the Lin family, is married to a wife named Fang Qunqun. They have been married for several years but have no children.
Lin Xi looked down on Fang Qunqun and wouldn't let her interfere in anything he did, so Fang Qunqun had nothing to do except doing some handicrafts every day.
The other wives and young ladies in the family also wanted to ignore Fang Qunqun because she was from a low background and... vulgar.
Mrs. Lin's fourth wife, Yao, came from a scholarly family, had a good temper, knew a lot of things, and had a large dowry. There was no shortage of refreshments on weekdays, and Yao also had a certain sense of aesthetics, and she often wore fresh clothes.
Just like Fang Qunqun, she is a concubine’s wife!
Therefore, Fang Qunqun is very willing to get close to her, convince her, and come to visit her whenever she has nothing to do.
Hearing that the third niece in the family was back, Fang Qunqun was very excited. Finally something new happened. "Fourth sister-in-law, have you met the second brother and second sister-in-law?"
She blinked her charming eyes and asked Yao.
Mr. Yao said, "I have seen the two faces of my second brother, but I have never seen my second sister-in-law. When I came in, my second brother and my sister-in-law had already gone to the south. Later, when my second brother returned to Beijing to report on his work, I saw him. He would not stay in the capital for long."
The sky has left again."
"This is really strange. The second sister-in-law didn't come back with him. The niece never came back. What is he...the second brother like?"
Yao said softly, "Our fourth master said that the second brother is extremely smart, and the other brothers are not even close to him. He is top-notch in exams and work. At that time, the fourth master admired this brother the most.
It's just... the second brother grew up in front of my great-grandmother, and my mother-in-law..." She winked.
Fang Qunqun nodded in understanding and said, "I understand, I understand... I heard that my mother-in-law didn't like my second sister-in-law, so my second brother took her to work abroad."
"Well. If the second brother is in the capital, or comes back earlier... maybe it won't be so early... Sigh."
"Yes, it's a pity..." Fang Qunqun echoed indifferently.
Yao said, "Well, I heard that the second sister-in-law is very pretty. The second brother fell in love with her at first sight..."
"Like Fourth Brother to you?!" Fang Qunqun blinked his eyes and smiled evilly, his whole body trembled slightly, his breasts dangled in front of Yao's eyes, giving people a sense of oppression that his eyes had no place to place.
Seeing her charming look, Mrs. Yao sighed in her heart, "Haha... what are you talking about? The second brother is the legitimate son, and the mother-in-law grew up with the former son. He is very tough! Even the father-in-law is extra generous."
"Oh, it's such a pity that both children are dead. This poor girl... you think, why haven't you picked her up for three years?! This is not normal. How can you let two children live outside?
What’s the point?”
"Did you forget? My eldest brother went to pick him up and said he was ill and couldn't come back. He couldn't delay his affairs for too long, so he came back first. Anyway, there are clansmen over there... But, it's true..."
She shook her head.
"Why don't you dare to delay? Have you forgotten who the elder brother brought with him when he came back?" Fang smiled ghostly, and Yao also smiled faintly.
Fang Qunqun asked with bright eyes, "My girl just said that the third girl came back with dozens of cars of things! Second brother and second sister-in-law, do you have a strong family background?"
Yao said, "I don't know the details. But it's impossible to say that the second brother has been abroad for so many years. There is also the deceased old lady who loved him the most and left some for him. Besides, the dowry of the second sister-in-law,
But there are quite a lot of them. It turns out that the furniture in the second brother’s courtyard is the dowry of the second sister-in-law. Compared with the ones in the old lady’s house, the materials are... not bad."
It's a pity that he was taken over by Lin Tang...a nephew who took possession of his aunt's dowry! He is usually so arrogant that ordinary people can't look down on him. But this time it's really embarrassing!
Humph, this home looks clean and orderly to outsiders, but how could it be that there is so much filth inside!
"Oh, I wonder what she brought back!" Fang Qunqun was fascinated.
Yao knew that she was thinking about it again... "Haha, don't think about this first, think about what kind of meeting gift you can give me first!"
"Ah?! Alas..." Fang Qunqun sighed, always giving gifts!! She quickly lowered her head and embroidered a few stitches.
Two people are chatting here.
After a while, the little girl said, "Miss San, you have moved into Chaoyunju."
The two people looked at each other, a little surprised.
Fang Qunqun said, "Yo?! This third girl, she's really capable! She's living there! Is it a temporary stay or a permanent one?"
Mr. Yao smiled and shook his head. Being able to live in it now means you have some ability. But you have to be able to live there for a long time to be considered a real ability.
"Oh, Fourth Sister-in-law, let's go and have a look..." Ms. Fang stood up and wanted to watch the excitement.
Yao didn't move, but gently grabbed Fang Qunqun, "Why are you so anxious? I saw it at night. I don't know what's going on over there. If she provokes someone, let's go and watch the excitement. Aren't we going to cause trouble for ourselves?"
The two of us are better off not causing trouble than anything else."
Mrs. Fang smiled coquettishly and sat down.
I couldn't help but keep mumbling, "Chaoyun Residence was left by the old lady to my great-aunt. To be honest, for so many years, I only took a look at the door. The yellow leaves falling all over the ground in autumn are really beautiful. Those ginkgo fruits, my father
It is said that roasting and eating it is the best way to remove the heat. Haha, our sister-in-law, even if she breaks the fruit from a tree, she won’t even give us a few. She is still a young lady, I see, her eyelids are lighter than mine.”
Yao smiled and said nothing.
"Fourth sister-in-law, you said our life is not that difficult. Why is this sister-in-law so nervous?"
Yao knew very well that "the reason why he is not sad at the moment is because the family has industry support. Moreover, although the eldest brother has no real power, the emperor treats him kindly and thinks of him when he has good things. But if this continues, the younger generation will not be able to step up."
, what about the future?”
You can’t always rely on favors. The property must be managed by people who know how to take care of it, and there must be no prodigal children...
Otherwise, walk quickly downhill.
Fang Qunqun seemed to understand.
But she is different from others. For her, her current life is as good as the sky. She has good food and drink every day, clothes for all seasons, custom-made jewelry, and she can save part of her monthly money and take it back to her parents' home.
Once all the younger sisters are married into good families and the younger brother is admitted as a scholar, everything will be perfect.
And she herself... can do whatever she wants! It's not like she has never had a hard life...
Fang Qunqun curled her lips, "That aunt married well and was very powerful. Every time she came back, she raised her chin and couldn't see me. It turns out that I even took the initiative to talk to her, but her expression was that weird one, you know?"
? She seemed to be wondering why I was talking to her..."
Yao Shi smiled but said nothing.
Fang Qunqun said, "Chaoyunju, her daughter was holding a tea party there, and she didn't even ask us to invite us. And I heard that the expenses for the tea party were all borne by our family. You said she was a surnamed Yan, and went to a surnamed Lin."
The family is busy and puts on more airs than the direct daughter of the Lin family. What's going on?"
"Mother-in-law is happy." Yao said, her heart sank when she thought of that old woman.
"Isn't there just a girl in the palace? But in all the years I have been in the palace, I have only been promoted twice, and one of them was only after giving birth to a princess. I didn't even get a concubine..." Fang's gossip was full of energy.
.
"Shhh...this is not what we are talking about. Besides, my eldest sister is indeed well married, and her husband is very capable." Mrs. Lin Si said.
Fang Qunqun said, "I'm just telling you, not outside. I think it's going to be lively at home. How can my aunt deserve this? Most likely she will come to take care of the third girl..."
Mrs. Yao shook her head, "Not necessarily. The old lady must have nodded for the third girl to move in. Even if my aunt is unhappy, she can't say anything."
"That's not possible... Ouch, you, what good thing can I give you?" Ms. Fang looked at the work in her hands and was embarrassed...
Mrs. Yao secretly laughed in her heart: It must be embroidery, what other good things can you have!?
Even if I had it, I wouldn’t be willing to give it away.
Mrs. Fang stretched out, her slender waist and two big snow-white lumps... her soft body had a lazy and charming look...
If a man looks at this, his nose will bleed.
However, Lin Xi did not have a good relationship with her, and they slept in separate rooms not long after they got married.
However, this fifth younger brother and sister is really a character! When encountering such bad things, he is not anxious or annoyed, and smiles every day...
"Anyway, it's good to have something new at home. On weekdays, I'm too busy!" Fang Qunqun was still mumbling.
