Chapter 3: Father
This is a remote side door, Lin Xi whispered a few words to the mother-in-law guarding the door, and walked out quickly after agreeing. www.biquge.infoPassing through a narrow path, under a tree stood a man dressed in coarse linen clothes, although all dressed in coarse cloth, he was dressed cleanly.
The man had a long face, very light eyebrows, a pair of small eyes that looked very energetic, and a beard. It is Lin Xi's father with this body, Lin Yongkang.
Seeing Lin Xi coming, Lin Yongkang's face fell, and when Lin Xi stood in front of him, he pulled a face and said unhappily: "Why did you come out so late, don't you know that your father is waiting for you outside?"
Lin Xi bowed his head and said sorry, and said that it was because he was too late because he had something at hand, and when he saw Lin Yongkang's expression was a little slow, he smiled and asked, "Dad, how are you at home?"
This body is also surnamed Lin, Lin Xi feels that it is much more convenient, she was a maid in the house when she woke up, but there are memories of this girl.
When she opened her eyes, five years had passed since the death of Zhao's grandmother Lin, and now it had been half a year since she woke up, and she couldn't get any useful news.
What happened to Xiao Feng, where is her brother now? Since she woke up, she didn't want to leave for a moment, but she was a ten-year-old girl, and she was a slave, what kind of way could she have, so she had to wait like this day by day.
"It's all good, Brother Dong will be ready to tie up in a few days." Lin Yongkang looked at her without being salty and said.
"Dad, this is my monthly money for these three months." Lin Xi sighed in his heart, but looked at Lin Yongkang with a smile on his face.
"Hmmm! You know that filial piety is good, and it doesn't hurt you in vain, not everyone in this house can come in, since you are blessed to come in, you have to serve the master well! Lin Yongkang checked it in his hand, and it was estimated that there were more than a hundred big money, and nodded with satisfaction and said to her. I thought that this girl was only ten years old, and she couldn't understand some of what she said too early, but she stopped talking, and only taught her to be diligent and not lazy.
Lin Xi responded one by one, and when he saw that Lin Yongkang was about to leave, he called him and said, "Dad!"
"What's the matter?" Lin Yongkang turned to look at her with a frown.
"It's nothing, dad take care of himself!" Lin Xi saluted him.
In the end, it is a ten-year-old girl, and it is normal for people to be reluctant to have a father, although Lin Yongkang does not like this daughter, but in the end it is also his own daughter. Thinking of his daughter's delicate appearance, if there is a master who can take a fancy to this girl in the future, their family can also eat and drink spicy food, and a kind smile appeared on his face: "You don't have to worry, do things in the house, I will come to see you in a few days."
"Hmm!" Lin Xi nodded, then turned around and walked towards the mansion. Walking on the alley, Lin Xi's mind was spinning rapidly, and asked Lin Yongkang to help him inquire about Xiao Feng, no, Lin Xi couldn't think of any reason to make Lin Yongkang not suspicious, so he went to help her inquire without asking anything.
Second, although she can get a little bit of news from the Zhao Mansion, for example, Zhao Yi has already renewed the concubine of Liu Zhizhou, the governor of Yangcheng, to fill the house. Although she is a concubine, she is also a serious official lady, Lin Xi can hear so much because this wedding was very lively at that time, and everyone in the city knows that although the Zhao family is married to fill the house, it is even grander than the one who married a serious grandmother.
But there is no news about Xiao Feng at all, as if he has evaporated from the world, although she has not received much information because of her limited identity, but from the mouths of those girls, there is no news about this person, she can't be sure if Xiao Feng is still in Zhao Mansion, or what happened between Zhao Mansion and him, she can't take this risk. And Lin Yongkang is mercenary and short-sighted, although Lin Xi is in a hurry, he can't mess with his own position indiscriminately.
Entering the small courtyard, I saw that Su Pozi was carrying water, and hurriedly wanted to go up to help, Su Pozi shook her head and smiled: "You have little arms and legs, where can you lift it, in a few years, wait until your arms are thicker!"
"Mother-in-law, then I'll help you burn the stove, anyway, I've washed all my clothes today, and I'm idle."
Su Pozi laughed, agreed, looked at her and said, "What's the matter with your father looking for you?"
"It's nothing, it's the same as before!" Lin Xi said with a smile.
"You're asking for money again?" Su Pozi sighed: "How can the slaves in this house be so good, you are lucky, you meet a kind-hearted master, there are not many places to spend money, even if this is the case, where to go without holding a few pieces of silver in your hands in the house." Your father is good, when he sold you in to make a death deed, there was nothing between you, but he bullied you when you were young and went to your monthly money, this, what kind of thing can a father do? ”
"Granny Su, I know that you are for my good, but it is just a one-day parental kindness, and it will be difficult to repay it for life, Bao'er really doesn't know what way to refuse." Lin Xi smiled softly: "I have food and accommodation in the house, and there are not many places to spend money."
"Even so, keep some for yourself. You kid is soft-hearted, and I've watched you grow up over the years. Su Pozi thought of the timid appearance of this girl when she first entered the house, and took her down to check her body, only to see that her body was full of red and swollen scars, and she didn't speak. Only blinked with a pair of wet eyes.
"Alright, then you go and watch the fire for me." Su Pozi looked at the girl with a smile in front of her, and her heart warmed, which was much better than when she first came.
Lin Xi helped Mrs. Su finish cooking, then went back to his room, and began to think about his future path along the way, the owner of the Gu Mansion, Li Rongnai, is a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, from the fourth grade, so this Li Mansion is also the home of Zhong Ming Ding Food.
She is only five years old when she came here, and at first she worked in the outer courtyard, and only entered the inner courtyard from the outer courtyard last year, but she is only a rough maid, and her daily task is to wash clothes. Then there is the sprinkling of the courtyard.
The two maids Qiao'er who lived with her, Xiaoliu also did the same thing, she and Xiaoliu were responsible for the clothes of the third-class maid, Qiao'er was responsible for the second-class maid, and the first-class maid's clothes were in charge of the mother in the yard.
There are two first-class maids in the courtyard of the three girls, three second-class maids, and four third-class maids. and four rough maids. Two second-class mothers-in-law, four rough mothers-in-law.
All the things of the subordinates are managed by the third girl's nurse Huang's mother, so the maids and women at the bottom usually please Huang's mother whenever they are, and she can decide where you are on an errand with one sentence.
Although this Huang's mother has a lot of power in her hands, she has always adhered to her duties and never abused her power. did not treat the maids and women at the bottom harshly, and treated the three girls with all their hearts, and there was no one in the courtyard who did not praise.
The third girl is from the eldest lady Qian, and she is the concubine in the house, and Huang's mother is the eldest lady's companion, and the eldest lady is extremely satisfied with her. Therefore, when she gave birth to a child for half a year, she asked Huang's mother to come back and be a housekeeper mother, and later the third girl became the nurse of the third girl for a lifetime.
