Chapter 63: Entering the House
Chun Tao shook her head: "I don't know, I don't think it's like Hongxing is hiding from me, and she doesn't know, she just said that recently, the four girls and the eldest lady have often discussed things behind closed doors, and they have sent all the maids around them, leaving only Ruxiang." Red apricots and jade rui can't enter the door, in the past, the four girls and the eldest lady were only accompanied by red lines, but now although the red lines are still there, but they also called Ruxiang in. ”
Lin Zhixuan lowered her head and pondered for a long time before she smiled faintly at Chun Tao and said, "Very good, you usually have to pay more attention to them for me." ”
Chun Tao looked at Lin Zhixuan and smiled at her, but as if she had won a big reward, she also smiled and nodded yes.
Lin Zhixuan said: "You all go down, I'll talk to my sister." ”
Chun Tao felt a chill in her heart when she heard Lin Zhixuan say this, but then she watched Dongmei take the lead and walk out first, she was slightly relieved and retreated.
Lin Zhixuan's face was not good-looking, those words were Hongxing good at pretending to be mysterious, or they really thought of a way to get out of trouble, Lin Zhixuan had no bottom in her heart, but she could only comfort Lin Ruoxuan: "Sister, don't worry, let's do ours, we can't mess up because of their two words, these words are just what they say, and they don't know whether it's true or not, it's true, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth." It's useless to be in a hurry. ”
Lin Ruoxuan smiled at Lin Zhixuan: "I'm not worried, I listen to my sister." ”
Lin Zhixuan also smiled at her, and the two continued to bow their heads to do embroidery, but neither of them was as relieved as they were on their faces.
In the early morning of the next day, the Chang family happily hired two sedan chairs to send Chang Yuan's daughter-in-law and Xia Lan back to the Lin Mansion, and the sedan chair was carried by Chang Yuan and his brothers who carried the sedan chair with him. Xia Lan felt that this was not good, after all, they all relied on labor to earn a little hard-earned money, and when they arrived at the door of the Lin Mansion, they took out a handful of copper coins and divided them.
Chang Yuan's brothers all smiled heartily and took it with a thousand thanks, and Xia Lan took Chang Yuan's daughter-in-law into the Lin Mansion from Xiaomen.
Chang Yuan's daughter-in-law held a burden, took some change of clothes, and followed Xia Lan all the way through the towering walls of the outer courtyard, Chang Yuan's daughter-in-law looked at everywhere simple and elegant, her eyes flashed with excitement, and she touched it and looked: "It's really worthy of the prefect's mansion, it's magnificent! ”
This is still the outer courtyard, and the little maids who come and go on the road can't help but look up at her with disdain when they listen to Chang Yuan's daughter-in-law's words, although the footsteps have not stopped, there is mockery in their eyes, Xia Lan frowned and stepped forward to drag her brother and daughter-in-law who couldn't move: "Don't talk, bow your head and leave quickly, this is the outer courtyard, not a place for us to stay." ”
Chang Yuan's daughter-in-law saw her so cautious, but she was dissatisfied: "Sister, you are the first big girl in the Lin Mansion's girl's room, this Lin Mansion is not a place for you to walk sideways, you have to have two momentum, how can you be so ......"
Xia Lan felt a headache, she told her the rules of the house for a long time last night, and she didn't listen to her feelings at all. Thinking of when she went back to tell her family about Lin Zhixuan's plans yesterday, Mrs. Chang's proud look said that Xia Lan had finally come out after so many years, and even told her to let her arrange herself to be the housekeeper's mother.
Mrs. Chang repeatedly asked her if the people from Jinxiufang lied to her, in fact, Xia Lan was the one who could make such embroidery, so the three girls promised so many benefits to the family in order to keep her.
Xia Lan took a lot of effort to explain to Mrs. Chang, and she was almost angry and cried: "I'm a maid, no one teaches and can't learn, I haven't even heard of those embroidery stitches, where do I embroider? Besides, others don't know, don't my mother know what my embroidery is like? It's not that I haven't made a small jacket for you on weekdays, you take it out and ask your in-laws, is it not as good as her?"
Mrs. Chang believed this, she knew Xia Lan's female popularity, although it was not bad, but if she said that she was superb, it would be impossible, so she finally let go of this matter.
Mrs. Chang no longer paid attention to her, and only pulled Chang Yuan's daughter-in-law to talk all night: " Your sister-in-law is useless, she has been by Miss Linfu's side for so many years to have today's creation, I think she has been like this in her life, our family can't count on her, but now that you can enter the Linfu to serve in front of the ladies, you must stand out more in front of the ladies, what work is long-eyed, and you can show your face in front of the young lady to rush to do, if something goes wrong, it won't get in the way, and your sister-in-law protects you, don't be afraid of those old maids in the house, they are relying on their qualifications to be powerful, you have your sister Xia Lan, no worse than them, you first want to let the young ladies like you, and arrange for me and your mother to enter the house in the future, like this, our family can only speak hard, and only then can we have endless silver...... Ten million good students serve the third young lady, persuade the third young lady, don't let our family go to any Zhuangzi, let's all go to the Lin Mansion!"
Xia Lan only vaguely heard these two sentences, and she was so angry that her liver trembled, and her mother-in-law was looking for a sedan chair early in the morning, and went around to tell the neighbors that her daughter was a popular person around the three girls of the Lin Mansion, and the daughter-in-law also entered the Lin family, and their Chang family was about to ascend to heaven, and completely put aside the matter of letting them go to Zhuangzi, and did not listen to Xia Lan, but only talked to Chang Yuan's daughter-in-law, so that she must be liked by the girl, and the family depends on her.
Xia Lan now looks at Chang Yuan's daughter-in-law, and only then does she feel that Lin Zhixuan's decision is really right, if this is sent directly to the uncle and grandmother, it will not be a mess.
Xia Lan was angry, but she couldn't do anything, she could only try her best to mention it, and the rest depended on their own creation.
Xia Lan took Chang Yuan's daughter-in-law into the inner courtyard, Chang Yuan's daughter-in-law walked very slowly, only to see that the wall was a main road, and it was divided into two courtyards, Xia Lan took her to the east courtyard, where the maids and women came and went more lively than the outer courtyard, and entered the east courtyard It was a bluestone avenue, first passing through the kitchen, and then Lin Ruoxuan's small courtyard, which was very simple and simple, but there were also three words written on the flower door - "Hua Langju".
Xia Lan led Mrs. Chang to walk briskly in this garden, only to see the rockery landscape pavilion, small bridges and flowing water, and then look at the exquisite design of the layout of flowers and trees, it can be seen that the person who built this yard was also a particular person.
Chang Yuan's daughter-in-law had already looked at this fairyland-like scenery, and said for a while, "This flower is blooming so well", and then pointed and said, "There are fish in this water!"
Xia Lan persuaded her to stop talking and go quickly, but Chang Yuan's daughter-in-law couldn't listen to half a sentence, and when she saw Xia Lan talking to her, she became more energetic, and she opened her teeth and claws along the way, and her mouth was not idle!
