Chapter 123: Insolence
In the past few days, Lin Zhixuan has gone to Mrs. Wang and Lin Penghai to say goodbye in the morning and evening, and the rest of the days are idle, and the spring peach and Xia Lan in the house have gone to Chen's to work, Lin Zhixuan is idle, and asked Qiu Ju to go to the Splendid Workshop to receive the embroidery work, after all, her silver box is really empty now.
Qiu Ju helped thread the needle and hand the thread on the side, and talked to Lin Zhixuan without a pair: "When I went to my wife's house this morning, I heard Sister Zi Kite say that the old man was going back to Jeju at the nineteenth year, and I didn't think I could see the second girl getting married." β
Lin Zhixuan nodded while doing needlework: "I heard my mother say, now is the time when government affairs are busy, and my father is also thinking of the Liang family's face, and it will take time to go back and forth." Dad hasn't been idle at home for a few days, except for breakfast, you look at lunch and dinner, which day can you use it at home?"
Qiu Ju was puzzled: "Why is the master so busy? Even when the master was the prefect of Hangzhou, I didn't see the master so busy?"
When Lin Zhixuan heard this, she looked up at her with a smile: "Now is different from the past." β
But he only said this sentence, and said nothing else.
Qiu Ju was wondering, but Xia Lan came back in a hurry.
Lin Zhixuan asked her what was the matter, Xia Lan said: "Girl, I heard from the second grandmother that the second girl's wedding dress is not easy to make, when the second grandmother returned to his wife, she only said that it was not suitable to go to the Liang family's shop to do it, and the wife actually said that let the second girl do it herself, and the second grandmother couldn't go back, thinking about whether to let our family's own tailor do it, but after all, the tailor in our family is not good, and this is marrying into the Liang family, I am afraid that it will be rough and make the Liang family laugh." There is also a dowry, the second grandmother originally returned 10,000 taels, and the wife said that 5,000 taels was enough. β
Lin Zhixuan listened to Xia Lan's reply, but asked her, "Did the second sister-in-law ask you to come back and forth to me?"
Xia Lan didn't guard against Lin Zhixuan from asking this, and said solemnly: "No, I heard about it." I felt that I had to reply to the girl. β
Lin Zhixuan smiled at her and nodded: "It's hard for you to have a heart." We can't do anything about the money, and besides, these five thousand taels, ten thousand taels, or fifty thousand taels are nothing in front of the Liang family. It's just a reputation, and I know what my mother means. After all, the second sister is a concubine, and she is the first in the family to marry, if it is too high, it will be difficult for me and Lin Yaxuan to match the dowry in the future, and our Lin family really doesn't have so much silver. As for the wedding dress. You go and talk to the second sister-in-law, and let the second sister do it herself.
She has been making clothes for herself all these years, and her needlework is better than those embroiderers in our family, and I can also help with it, but I am also bored these days. The second sister is afraid that she is also very panicked, so she is just looking for a stable livelihood for her. This is also her own wedding dress, and in ancient times, wasn't it always the new daughter-in-law who made her own wedding dress? β
Xia Lan listened a little and nodded in response.
Lin Zhixuan asked her, "How are your mother and younger siblings?"
When Xia Lan heard this, there was a trace of guilt on her face, and she said to Lin Zhixuan: "I have learned a lot of rules, and Mother Hu also said that she is much more obedient than when she first came." β
Lin Zhixuan listened to Xia Lan's words. also nodded and smiled kindly at her: "That's fine, you can go." β
Without anything else to say, Xia Lan hesitated in her heart to say something, but after all, she only nodded and retreated.
Chen's actions were fast, and in the afternoon, he asked people to send all the fabrics to Lin Ruoxuan, and when Lin Zhixuan went, she saw Aunt Xu arguing with Lin Ruoxuan, and Aunt Xu scolded at the top of her voice: "This is really unreasonable! The second girl is going to marry the Liang family as the second grandmother! This wedding dress actually has to be made by the second girl herself! Your own daughter has no ability, so you are jealous of my daughter, and use these cheap means to practice people, hum." You wait for me, and when my daughter marries into the Liang family, I see that you have not come to beg me! I'm going back to my lord!"
Saying that, she struggled to go, Lin Ruoxuan persuaded and stopped at the same time, so that more things are better than less things, she can do it herself.
Lin Zhixuan heard Aunt Xu's words about Mrs. Wang from afar, but she was annoyed. Let Qiu Ju push the door in and look at the chaotic courtyard of people, and asked in a loud voice: "Who is your daughter? Which one in the Lin family's back house is not the son and daughter of the wife, what are you, and dare to shout at your daughter here? If you talk about your daughter, she has not taken care of her for a day since she was born? Do you treat her as your daughter one day? It sounds good, calling you an aunt in the mansion is just better than the girl's mother-in-law, and now the wife has told the second girl that the door is a good family affair, what does it have to do with you, you are called the overlord!"
"You!" Aunt Xu pointed at Lin Zhixuan, speechless for a while. She is used to being powerful and blessed in Jeju, and everyone respects him as a genuine wife, where can anyone dare to talk to her like this. She's almost forgotten she's just an aunt!
Lin Zhixuan didn't wait for her to say anything, and said: "Mrs. let you serve the second sister here for two days, it is also a great grace to you, you are not good at serving, and you still treat yourself as a master here all day to make trouble, and you have been outside for a long time, and you don't know the rules too much! I heard my wife say that you don't go back with the master this time, it's okay, just by the wife's side, you can set up rules." β
Lin Zhixuan's words made Aunt Xu angry, and she only looked at Lin Zhixuan and pointed at Lin Zhixuan and said, "You...... You...... The third girl is so powerful, you are not afraid that I will sue Master SΓΉ!"
Lin Zhixuan said with a smile: "The master has been going to banquets everywhere in the past two days, even if he is free, he will only be at the wife's place, where does Aunt Xu want to meet the master?
Aunt Xu was so angry that her face turned yellow, but she pointed at Lin Zhixuan with a trembling finger and sneered: "The third girl is really good at taking the master's money, but I don't know that when the third girl says kiss in the future, she will be so frivolous!"
Lin Zhixuan raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a smile: "When I said kiss, Mrs. Liberty and my second sister bothered to plan for me, but I didn't know where I had to bother my aunt." β
"You! you!" Aunt Xu looked at Lin Zhixuan's smiling face, stomped her feet in anger, and wanted to rush up, but her personal maids Hua'er and Yue'er saw that the situation was not good, so they hurriedly stepped forward to stop Aunt Xu and persuaded her to drag her away.
Lin Ruoxuan looked at it and sighed, but Lin Zhixuan turned her eyes and said, "Sister won't be angry with me, it's just that she is too rampant, how many grievances you have suffered in the past, and I don't see her worrying about you." β
Lin Ruoxuan just smiled helplessly, didn't say anything, and only took Lin Zhixuan's hand into the house.
