Mrs. Lin fell ill, so Mrs. Lin Zhou and several aunts naturally came to pay their respects as a sign of filial piety.
Hearing the voice of agreement coming from inside the house, Mrs. Lin Zhou held her son's little hand and walked in front, and she and Aunt Shuang filed in. Although Lin Tianren was young, he was sensible and obviously missed the old lady very much.
Entering the threshold of the inner room, he broke away from his mother's hold and ran to the bed alone, "Grandma, are you okay? Tian'er is here to see you."
When treating her relatives, Mrs. Lin always had the kindest smile in the world. She stretched out a hand, gently pinched Lin Tian's face, and said with a smile: "It's okay, grandma is okay."
After Mrs. Lin finished speaking, Lin Jingzhi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, picked up Lin Tian and placed him next to him so that Lin Tian could talk to Mrs. Lin.
At this time, Mrs. Lin Zhou and several aunts came forward and said hello one by one.
After greeting you, Mrs. Lin Zhou looked stern and scolded: "Tian'er, what did my mother teach you before I came here? Why did you lose all the rules when you saw the old lady!"
Lin Tian's face fell when he heard this, and Lin Jingzhi said quickly: "Tian'er cares too much about the old lady, so he can't help himself. Guifang, don't blame him."
"Yes, Tian'er really cares about me." Mrs. Lin nodded in agreement and smiled.
Seeing that these two people were interceding, Mrs. Lin Zhou did not dare to accuse her son anymore. She glared at Lin Tian fiercely and stepped aside.
Mrs. Lin Zhou and several aunts all knew the housekeeper, and they were curious about what mistake this old man of the Lin family had made to be punished by kneeling down. Mrs. Lin left Lin Tian and said: "It's okay if you are all here, Yu
Xiang, the butler made a mistake, how do you think he should be punished?"
Tang Yuxiang first glanced at Lin Jingzhi secretly, and then said in a deep voice: "This time the old lady was poisoned, it is a serious matter. Anyone who makes mistakes must be punished. Yesterday Liuxiang was negligent and did not show up.
For testing poison in the tea, he has already been slapped with a ban and a monthly fine. Although the chief steward is an old man in the Lin family, he cannot be leniently spared."
As soon as these words came out, several aunts were shocked. In their eyes, the housekeeper was a very good person.
Lin Jingzhi got along well with the butler. He frowned slightly when he heard this, but after thinking that the person who was poisoned this time was his close relative, he didn't interrupt.
Punishing one or two people who have a high status in the palace can indeed deter other servants from doing things with caution.
Tang Yuxiang's eyes turned slightly, taking in the expressions of Lin Jingzhi, several aunts, and Mrs. Lin, and then said: "But the Lin Mansion is in a special period at this time, and the servants in the backyard cannot lack the butler."
For the time being, it is better to punish the big housekeeper with the monthly rules for a year, the fifteenth day of the big board, and this account will be recorded. After this period of time, if the big housekeeper can manage the servants in the house well, he will be punished.
If the merit is reduced to the crime, the punishment will be given lightly.
But if something big happens again, then the position of steward will be filled by someone else."
Tang Yuxiang's words were reasonable and reasonable, but everyone was still surprised after hearing them, especially the last sentence. She actually said that she wanted to change the housekeeper. This was really a bit bold.
In many wealthy and prosperous families, the position of chief steward is replaced when the most powerful person in the backyard is replaced. The newly promoted master is replaced by his or her confidant.
After Tang Yuxiang's words fell, the room became completely quiet, leaving only the faint breathing of everyone.
Lin Jingzhi sweated for his beloved wife and secretly glanced at Old Mrs. Lin. Seeing that her face was darkened but there was no sign of anger, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After thinking carefully for a while, Mrs. Lin felt that Tang Yuxiang's handling method was indeed very reasonable. Although her tone was a little loud, the Lin family was in a critical period. If they could not understand the rules of the family law, they would inevitably be taken advantage of by their opponents again in the future.
He caused trouble. He was the one who was poisoned this time, and he was cured. But next time, what if his opponent wants to target his grandson and kill him?
After thinking about it like this, she had no objection and nodded: "Well, let's do this as Yu Xiang said."
"Thank you, old lady. Second Grandma has mercy." Xu Fu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had escaped a slap in the face. Of course, he would not dare to be careless again in the future, otherwise the title of the Lin Mansion's big housekeeper would fall to someone else.
Up.
Seeing the housekeeper knelt down, kowtowed, and retreated, Tang Yuxiang loosened her tightly clenched fists. After she said these words, her heart was in her throat, but in order to prevent any trouble in the Lin family's backyard.
, she had to say these words.
As the butler withdrew, everyone in the hut started chatting. However, except for Mrs. Lin, no one from the other aunts, including Mrs. Lin Zhou, dared to talk to Tang Yuxiang. There was no doubt that Mrs. Lin’s
Recognition and support made her status rise.
The distance between him and the other girls has become even wider.
Mrs. Lin was still ill and needed to rest and should not be disturbed. Lin Jingzhi and several aunts left early, while Mrs. Lin Zhou and Tang Yuxiang stayed behind. One stayed by the bed to take care of Mrs. Lin, while the other waited for Mrs. Lin.
After you fall asleep, give me an acupuncture to force out the poison.
Holding Lin Tian's little hand, instead of playing around for a while on the way, Lin Jingzhi handed it into the hands of Aunt Wan and asked her to help him take it back to the small courtyard.
"Second Master, remember to come and see Rou'er's new embroidery when you have time." Before Aunt Rou left, she hugged his arm reluctantly and whispered softly.
Lin Jingzhi also wanted to spend more time with her and her aunts, but to be honest, he really didn't have time right now.
"Well, if you feel bored alone, go and stay in Wan'er's yard. During the day, you can chat with Shuang'er and play chess." Lin Jingzhi forced himself to push the person in his arms to Wan'er.
In my aunt's arms.
With Aunt Wan's comfort, they left together. Aunt Shuang also missed Lin Jingzhi very much, but she knew the general situation and knew that her husband still had many things to be busy with, so before leaving, she gave Lin Jingzhi a deep look.
.
Now Lin Jingzhi completely felt the tenderness of these women.
"Yu'er, go look for Brother Hong outside the house and find out where he is staying as soon as possible." For some reason, Lin Jingzhi was feeling uneasy at the moment, as if something big was about to happen.
After hearing the order, Aunt Yu responded, returned to the small courtyard, changed into men's clothes, and left the house.
Without Aunt Yu around him, Lin Jingzhi became even more panicked. After thinking about it, he called a total of thirty guards and rode towards the wasteland. The refugees were the Lin family's biggest support against Wang Meng. He wanted to gather them as soon as possible.
Own camp.
Not long after Lin Jingzhi led the guards and left, a major incident occurred in Luo City. This time Wang Meng sat in court in person to preside over the case!dd
