Chapter Ninety-Eight: Heart

Although the Lin family is a concubine, she has learned more or less things by remembering her mother's name. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough she values money very seriously and is impulsive and irritable, it doesn't mean that she has no brains. Even if the maid is close, she can't say a lot of words, and she can only hold her own bitterness in her heart.

Qiao Lan and Xiangtao glanced at each other, and with their identities, they didn't dare to persuade again. Lin sat for a while, and said tiredly: "Qiaolan, send a message to the Marquis of Anping." In a few days, it will be Gu Yu, and I want to take my family to Dabei Temple to eat toons, and invite Mrs. Hou Fu to go with me. ”

Qiao Lan responded and said, "Don't worry, old lady, I will go out immediately, and I will definitely deliver the message." ”

Lin also instructed: "Bring the basket of fresh fish sent from Zhuangzi as well, and say that I will ask Mrs. Hou to taste it." ”

Mrs. Anping Houfu is Lin Anjia, the sister-in-law of the Lin family.

As a concubine, the Lin family lived cautiously in the Lin family before she got married. tried to show his intelligence in front of his mother-in-law, and deliberately restrained, not overshadowing the limelight of his sister-in-law, and tried all kinds of ways to get close to Lin Anjia. She knows deep in her heart that her marriage is in the hands of her mother-in-law, and whether she marries well or not depends on her mother-in-law's evaluation of her.

When she followed her mother and sister out of the house to socialize, she followed closely behind Lin Anjia, liking what she liked, worried about what she was worried about, and hated what she hated. When Lin Anjia needs it, she can also roll up her sleeves and act as her pawn.

I have to say that her method is quite successful, and it is better than those concubines who are bent on hooking up with a young master at the banquet. She really won the love of her sister Lin Anjia, and even won the opportunity for her to raise her in the name of her mother-in-law, and spread the good reputation of being virtuous and courteous, so that she had the Tu family.

After getting married, the Lin family knew that if they wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Tu family, in addition to giving birth, the support of their mother's family was also very important. For decades, she has maintained a close relationship with her mother-in-law. After her mother-in-law passed away, she asked for warmth for three days, so that Lin Anjia regarded her sister as a confidant and talked about everything. She is now resentful, and the best person to confide in is Lin Anjia, and she also wants to hear her sister's advice.

After Qiao Lan stepped back, Lin asked, "Is the plasterer here?"

"Well, it's been a quarter of an hour, and I'm waiting outside. Peach replied.

Lin waved his hand and said, "Let them go to the 'Green Bamboo Garden'." Within three days, the kitchen over there will be cleaned up. ”

Mrs. Tu led Xu Wenyu and played all morning, and returned to the "Songtao Courtyard" at noon. said to Mrs. Xu: "You go back first, Yu'er will eat here with me." ”

Xu Wanzhen teased this Xu Wenyu and said, "What did great-grandfather play with you?"

Xu Wenyu replied crisply: "We saw dragonflies, and there are a lot of beautiful flowers. There was a flock of big white geese swimming in the water, exactly like the white geese we had at home in Suzhou. ”

"Then you obediently accompany your great-grandfather to dinner, and then come back for a lunch break after eating. It can't be like yesterday, when I didn't sleep at noon and went sleepy, and I couldn't wake up today. ”

Xu Wenyu nodded violently and replied seriously: "Sister don't worry, I will be obedient." ”

Old lady Tu stroked her long beard, and looked at the two sisters and brothers asking and answering, and she was in a very good mood.

Mrs. Xu and Xu Wanzhen returned to the "Green Bamboo Garden", and as soon as they entered the door, they saw a plasterer busy in the separated kitchen. Mama Zheng greeted her and said, "I've been here for a while." I don't know when the old lady and the young lady will come back, so the old man took matters into his own hands and let them start working. ”

Old Madam Xu nodded in response and said, "That's good." In the future, if we are not there, those who can be the masters of these things will be directly in charge, and those who cannot be the masters will be sent to us. ”

Mama Zheng is a good citizen, and after the master of the Xu family left, her status was the highest. When she saw things, she was not prevaricating and delaying time, but being able to stand up and take responsibility for these affairs, which was a sign of loyalty to the Xu family. And right now, in the Xu family, as far as Mrs. Xu and Xu Wanzhen are the two masters, it is better to delegate the power to her, firstly, to make her feel trusted, and secondly, not to delay things. Mama Zheng is very measured in her work, and she entrusts it to her, and she will not overstep her responsibilities if she can't make decisions, which is reassuring.

Mrs. Xu and Xu Wanzhen went back to the upper room, and they had already arrived at the meal, but they didn't see the rice sent by Hexiang to the big kitchen for a long time.

The two know this. It must have been something that happened at Mrs. Tu's place in the morning, which reached Lin's ears, and Lin took the opportunity to express his dissatisfaction. The small things like meals are delivered for a moment late, and the Xu family can only endure it. Even if she came to the door to question, what if the Lin family had countless excuses to cover up perfectly, and it seemed that the Xu family was very inconsiderate of her hard work. How can Mrs. Xu do such a thing.

Xu Wan was really afraid that Old Madam Xu would think too much, so she smiled and said, "Grandmother, I sat at my great-grandfather's place all morning, drank a belly of tea, and ate pastries. Zhen'er isn't hungry right now. ”

Old Madam Xu knew what she was thinking, patted her hand, and said, "I guess it's time to come." It's only a few days, and it's good to wait for the kitchen to be repaired. ”

Lin is the eldest sister-in-law of Mrs. Xu, and she is also Xu Wanzhen's elder, even if she has any dissatisfaction, she can't declare it. This is the upbringing of Miss Everybody.

Sure enough, after a while, Hexiang brought someone to bring the meal. He saluted Mrs. Xu and said, "Old lady, it's the lotus fragrance that is wrong." A second-class maid had just made a mistake, and I blamed her. It's too late, so please ask the old lady to condemn herself. ”

Mrs. Xu waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's all my own family." The eldest sister-in-law is busy there, and she can be late in the next few days. She didn't take Hexiang's confession and fooled the matter. Directly picked it out, she knew that it was the Lin family's meaning, and was mentally prepared that it would be late in the future, so that Hexiang didn't have to make excuses.

She can't say that her eldest sister-in-law is not, but in front of a maid, she doesn't intend to swallow her anger. Hexiang's face turned red, and the Xu family already knew it, so she could only respond embarrassedly and retreat.

Yulu and Biluo opened the food box, and as expected, although the meals were all good, they were already cold. A plate of sweet and sour fish rolls was originally an appetizing dish, but at this time it was completely cold, and the sweet and sour sauce poured on it looked greasy and sticky, making people have no appetite.

I opened it all and looked at it, and the other dishes were similar. This is already the case for the master, and the meal for the next person can be imagined.

Mama Zheng saw it and said, "Don't use it for the old lady and the young lady, be careful to cool your stomach." I took it down and steamed it on a stove that boiled water. ”

The cold food really couldn't be eaten, so Old Madam Xu nodded and said, "You can look at other meals and find a way to heat them up." ”

Lin's approach is really too petty. But to say that Mrs. Xu doesn't care about it at all, she is not so generous. In particular, Xu Wanzhen and Xu Wenyu are still children, and they have always been delicate in eating, where can their stomachs stand this kind of cold rice and cold dishes? Fortunately, Xu Wenyu was dining at his great-grandfather's place today.

Due to the current situation, although Mrs. Xu didn't say it, she had already made a note of the Lin family in her heart. (To be continued.) )
