At dusk, in the backyard of Lin's mansion, inside the restaurant.
Mrs. Lin was in a good mood today, so she asked everyone to sit down instead of standing around to wait. She sat on it, took a bite of the food that Tang Yuxiang put on the plate for her, and said with a smile: "Yuxiang is really good at cooking."
, the same thing tastes much worse if it is made by the chef in the house."
Tang Yuxiang smiled slightly after hearing the words and introduced: "Old lady, this dish is called **** Tremella. Before cooking, you need to soak the Tremella in warm water. After the Tremella is opened, take it out, remove the root of the ear, wash it and put it in
In a bowl, put it in a basket and steam it for a while, then clean the soup pot and put it on the stove. The heat should be lower but not too high. Then add water and put in the cinnamon. After it melts, add some preserved cherries and move it.
Put it on a high fire and bring it to a boil, wait until the water boils, then pour it into the white fungus bowl."
"Actually, this plate of medicated food was specially made for you by my grandson. It has the effects of replenishing qi and blood, strengthening the heart and mind, replenishing the brain and refreshing the mind, and prolonging life."
"Yu Xiang is really filial and has a good memory. What you said made me faint." Mrs. Lin took one of Tang Yuxiang's little hands and patted her affectionately.
"No, the old lady is really smart. She manages the Lin Mansion in an orderly manner. My granddaughter-in-law admires her deeply." Tang Yuxiang said obediently and modestly.
"Yes, grandma is the smartest."
"***The greatest ability!"
…
There were four Lin Jingzhi brothers sitting in the hall. When they heard this sentence, they echoed it one after another.
Mrs. Lin Zhou was Lin Xiaozhi's official wife, so she was qualified to sit here and said, "Grandma has been running the Lin Mansion for so many years, and her ability is obvious to all. There is no one in the whole house who disapproves of you."
"That was before, but I can't do it now. Decades have passed, and I'm old and no longer as energetic as before." Mrs. Lin sighed softly, with a tired look on her face for the first time, and then changed the subject.
, said: "Fortunately, Jingzhi married such a good wife as Yu Xiang. Not only is she beautiful and smart, but she is also a good cook. She will care about people. I will leave the Lin Mansion in your hands in the future."
This old woman can rest assured."
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became quiet. This was the first time that Mrs. Lin showed her feelings in front of everyone.
Lin Jingzhi originally liked Tang Yuxiang, so he was naturally very happy to hear this. Although Lin Lianzhi and Lin Yaozhi were not accepting, they could also tell that the old lady was very satisfied with her second sister-in-law and might hand over the power of the backyard to her in the future.
The second sister-in-law came to take over. When she saw the second sister-in-law, she had to be more respectful. After hearing this, Lin Zhou smiled slightly at Tang Yuxiang to express her congratulations.
In addition to the sitting masters, the maids and servants standing aside also stretched their ears. Living in a wealthy compound, you must be well-informed, otherwise you will accidentally offend someone you shouldn't offend, and you will not even die.
Don't even know.
Tang Yuxiang didn't expect Mrs. Lin to think so highly of her. After being stunned for a long time, she quickly said: "Old Mrs. Lin is still young. She looks like she is forty years old at most."
"It's just your sweet mouth!" Old Mrs. Lin gave Tang Yuxiang an angry look, laughed, and ate a few more mouthfuls of food before turning her head to look at Lin Jingzhi, "Jingzhi, what mistake did Manager Li make to make you interfere?
Take care of things in the backyard."
Lin Jingzhi originally planned to talk about this matter after dinner. Otherwise, if Mrs. Lin insists on protecting Manager Li and the two get into a dispute, the angry old man will not be able to eat. But now Mrs. Lin should ask the question first.
He couldn't hold it in any longer, so he roughly told what happened to Manager Li today.
Even though Lin Jingzhi paid great attention to the use of words when he spoke, Mrs. Lin's face still became darker the more she sat in her seat and listened. After all, she had promoted Manager Li with her own hands, and she had always been in charge of the backyard.
Jurisdiction, now that the slave has made a mistake, and such a thing happened, she will naturally be embarrassed. However, the matter has not become a big deal yet. If it can be suppressed secretly, her face will look better.
Thinking of this, she narrowed her eyes slightly, but accidentally glanced at Tang Yuxiang sitting beside her, and then she felt overjoyed. Although this granddaughter-in-law had good conditions and was very suitable to be a mistress, she still lacked training after all, so she might as well take this matter
Come to test her and make up her mind, she smiled and said: "Yu Xiang, grandma is already old and too lazy to meddle in such nosy matters anymore. Jingzhi is a man and it's not easy to get involved in the affairs of the backyard. Why don't we just leave this matter to you?"
I’ll do it for you.”
If those slaves had just reminded themselves to be careful in the future and not to bump into the second mistress, then now after hearing these words, they had already started thinking of how to curry favor.
If she was not sincere, Mrs. Lin would never grant power to Tang Yuxiang.
After all, this backyard is already crowded with people and things. If there is a powerful master, there will be more conflicts. Some shrewd servants have already concluded that Mrs. Lin is starting to train a successor.
Since Tang Yuxiang was robbed into the Lin Mansion, she has been thinking about a way to leave safely, and then become a doctor, heal the sick and save people, earn some money, and live peacefully, so for Mrs. Lin in the past
It was hinted that she should be succeeded as the mistress of the Lin family, but she had never taken it to heart.
She was leaving anyway, so why think too much about it? This was what she had thought before, but now when she suddenly heard such a sentence, she was shocked. The old lady first said that she was old, and then gave her the power to deal with it.
What does it mean to be a steward?
Does Mrs. Lin really feel that she lacks energy and wants to hand over the power to her?
If this is the case, what should we do?
This was not the place she wanted to live her whole life. She was not shy about others envying her position as the mistress of the Lin family. In her opinion, she even felt wronged by cooking three meals a day for Lin Jingzhi, let alone managing the household.
Even tonight's meal was forced by two little maids to make it for Lin Jingzhi. Otherwise, they would ignore her. How could she agree to it? She quickly replied: "Old lady, Sun."
My daughter-in-law is still young. How can she handle such a big thing? You should let others handle it."
As soon as these words came out, most of the people in the hall had strange expressions on their faces. They had only seen those who sought power and refused to do so, but this was the first time they had seen it.
"Old lady, I have come from your age and I understand how you feel, but being young is not an excuse. How can you grow up if you don't experience some things? There are hundreds of people in the Lin family to take care of. If you don't
Accumulate some experience early, and what will you do when I leave? This matter has been settled, and no further pushback is allowed."
Mrs. Lin's tone was a little harsh at the end. Although Tang Yuxiang was unwilling to do so, she could only grit her teeth and comply.
"Second Master, you haven't visited Tian'er for a while. Tian'er often asks me, when can you go over for a stroll?" Mrs. Lin Zhou saw that the atmosphere was a bit dull, so she had nothing to say.
Said something.
Lin Jingzhi was startled at first, and a little boy over four years old appeared in his mind. He was very cute and well-behaved. "There are so many things these days, I have forgotten about Tian'er. Tomorrow, I will take a look tomorrow." Tian'er, long time no see, I don't know if I've grown taller again."
Hearing Mrs. Lin Zhou mention Tian'er, Mrs. Lin also put on a kind face. Now, she only has such a great-grandson in the Lin family, so of course she likes her very much, "Well, I haven't seen Tian'er for a long time. Yes, you can bring him over and show him to me during lunch tomorrow."
Mrs. Lin Zhou quickly responded yes.
"Sister-in-law, you were frightened yesterday. How did you sleep at night?" Lin Zhou was only in her early twenties, but she had to remain a widow. She saw blood again yesterday, which made Lin Jingzhi somewhat worried.
Since the death of her husband, Ms. Lin Zhou has had a trace of sadness hidden in her eyebrows every day. If you have not experienced it personally, you will not know how difficult it is to be a widow. There is always only one person in the room at night, lying on the bed, and you feel lonely. Facing the endless darkness, I endured the loneliness and fear until dawn. If I accidentally had a nightmare, I could only hug the quilt tightly and shiver in bed alone.
She didn't dare to go out casually during the day for fear of causing gossip. In addition, there was Lin Lizhi in the previous courtyard who had an idea for her, so she was even more cautious and walked with difficulty.
Although she knew that Lin Jingzhi was her brother-in-law at this time, it was a little abrupt to ask her about sleeping at night, but she still felt warm in her heart and said with a blush, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Second, I slept well last night."
Lin Jingzhi originally cared out of instinct and didn't think much about it, but when Lin Zhou's blushing face and shy beauty reflected the eyelids of Mrs. Lin and Tang Yuxiang, she had other thoughts.
Tang Yuxiang was disdainful, feeling stuffy and a little bit panicked.
She disdains Lin Jingzhi's idea of her sister-in-law, and is angry that she is really a bitch. Why should she listen to the little maids and prepare meals to please others? As for why she is blocked, she feels that after all, she is Lin Jingzhi's now. The first wife will naturally be unhappy.
Mrs. Lin's intention is the clearest. As long as her grandson likes it, she can immediately marry Lin Zhou to Lin Jingzhi as a concubine.
Of course, having said that, it is best not to be too anxious. After all, she already has a great-grandson, and what she wants most now is to have a great-grandchild.
Mrs. Lin's eyes looked around Lin Jingzhi and Lin Zhou. Seeing that Lin Jingzhi's eyes were clear and there was no sign of impatience, she was slightly relieved. She was really afraid that Lin Jingzhi was already in love and she would not be able to bear it. It will be a pleasant stay.
Every time Lin Jingzhi likes a woman around him, Tang Yuxiang's love will be taken away from her, and the days when she can hold her great-grandson will be much longer.
"Respectfully, the harvest season is coming soon. The days ahead will be very busy, so you have to be more careful about yourself." Concubinage matters, as well as matters in the backyard, should be the responsibility of women, not men. , we should deal with major matters related to the family business. Mrs. Lin didn’t want her grandson to worry too much about these trivial matters, so she reminded him.
"My grandson knows." Lin Jingzhi originally thought that Tang Yuxiang would be nervous for the first time as a director, so he planned to help him, but seeing that Mrs. Lin didn't want him to interfere in the matter anymore, he had to give up. Besides, the food harvest would be good. The day was just a few days away from the day when the locust plague occurred, so he should indeed make some preparations early.
After dinner, Lin Jingzhi and Tang Yuxiang sent the old lady off together and walked side by side to their courtyard. At this time, the moon had already risen high, and its soft light poured down, covering the earth with a layer of light.
Covered in mysterious silver gauze, stepping lightly on the moonlight all over the ground, a gust of evening wind blew, causing the clothes of the two of them to flutter.
Zhidong and Zhiqiu followed the two of them a few meters away, their faces lit up with joy. The second mistress was favored by Mrs. Lin and was granted power. As servants, their worth has naturally increased.
, from now on, even the stewards in the mansion will probably have to smile with them when they see them.
They used to be just ordinary maids, never had such dignity, so the more they thought about it, the happier they became. It is estimated that these two people will not be able to sleep tonight.
Tang Yuxiang was in a bad mood now and didn't want to pay attention to the pervert beside her. But Mrs. Lin asked her to handle the matter of Manager Li, but it was a bit troublesome. She didn't know what to do, so she had to find a way to talk to him, and then
Discuss it carefully.
Although she didn't get along with Lin Jingzhi for a long time, she also knew that this somewhat lecherous husband was a good person, and the person he wanted to punish was probably not a good person.
But she had heard that Manager Li was a manager personally promoted by Mrs. Lin. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a confidant. Now that she wanted to investigate and deal with this person, she had to be careful, otherwise if she understood Lin wrongly,
The old lady's thoughts are that she may never have a good life again in the future.
She deliberately slowed down, thinking that Lin Jingzhi would speak first, but that guy was cold and silent, like a wooden stake, which was really annoying.
After walking out for dozens of steps, no man beside her spoke. Tang Yuxiang felt so tight that she wanted to scold Lin Jingzhi. It was all his fault that she was taken to the Lin Mansion to celebrate. God knows whether this man was dead or not.
What does her life have to do with it?
There was also the matter of Manager Li. If he hadn't forced himself to investigate, it wouldn't have been her turn to take care of it.
But after all, Tang Yuxiang is a rational person and understands that he has fallen into the Lin family's den of wolves. He must not act on his own initiative, otherwise in the end, he may not even have any bones left.
Taking a long breath, Tang Yuxiang tried her best to calm down, but she still couldn't help but glance at the man next to her. At this glance, she was slightly stunned, because at this moment, Lin Jingzhi's handsome profile shone brightly.
Under the moonlight, the figure is tall and straight. As he walks, the light wind ruffles the silk threads, dancing messily and extremely elegantly.
‘That’s all, because you look pretty good, I will reluctantly help you one more time!’ After coming back to her senses, Tang Yuxiang murmured to herself incomprehensibly.
Please collect it, please vote, I hope it can be included in the new book list, thank you all dd
