11. Chapter 11
Aunt Gui soon came back with Lin Huaigui in her arms.
They were sent back by Lin Qiang.
Aunt Lin waited for someone to go in, so she heard Lin Qiang say to her implicitly: "Master said, let the little boy also come to accompany his mother." ”
Aunt Lin raised her willow eyebrows slightly.
Lin Qiang coughed lightly, "Aunt Gui has a good appetite, and the master doesn't have much to prepare over there, so let the little ones send them over, so as not to starve them." ”
"Go ahead." Aunt Lin raised her hand.
She knew what was going on.
As soon as she entered the house, Aunt Gui hugged the little fat man, and the two of them ate the sauce-flavored meat one by one......
Aunt Gui is a good mother, and she didn't forget to stuff a piece for her son first, and then clip it for herself.
It was Aunt Lin who walked back to the table, and saw Aunt Gui's chopsticks resting on the blue phoenix pattern long plate, and they didn't move.
The meat is gone.
A plate of meat, according to the rules of a large family in the south of the Yangtze River, put nine pieces on a plate, and take the meaning of a long time.
The table was set up before, and the eldest aunt and the second aunt hadn't come yet, and no one had arrived, so Aunt Gui and her son ate all the meat on the plate.
"Well done." Aunt Lin said lightly as soon as she sat down.
Aunt Gui put down her chopsticks, hugged her son tightly, and muttered, "It's still cold this day, and it's also a good time to take supplements." ”
"Really?" Aunt Lin replied lightly, and scraped the little fat man with her eyes, and the little fat man also knew that his lady's sister thought he had eaten too much, so she twisted the little fat face into his mother's arms.
However, his own mother is difficult to protect.
"Have you taken the medicine?" In the past, these things were all in charge of the mother, but the mother is a person, the person is good, but no matter how beautiful and kind the fairy is, the Virgin Mary makes people feel cool for a while, but she can't take care of the longevity of people.
Aunt Gui is a little fat man who took medicine, and the little fat man followed the root of his parents' illness and was born greedy, which was the price of the Lin family's child, and he couldn't escape it. But Aunt Gui is healthy after all, much stronger than the father and son, and after a few years of taking medicine and keeping her mouth shut, she will not be so fat that she will even have a problem walking in the future.
"Eat...... Eaten. Aunt Gui blushed and said.
Her maid was behind but shook her head with the eldest lady.
No, it fell again.
"Ugh." Aunt Lin also had no choice but to take this aunt, her mind turned slightly, she turned back to her mother and said, "Let Gui Niang move in, let the eldest aunt and the second aunt keep an eye on it." ”
There's no way to keep it under your nose.
Besides, every aunt in this mansion may be released, but Aunt Gui is impossible, she and her mother want to support each other to live in the Lin family for a lifetime and enter the Lin family's cemetery.
"It's fine." Mrs. Lin also has no opinion.
"I'll move in the next two days, I'll tell my aunt later."
"Okay."
After the mother and daughter finished talking about the matter, they heard Aunt Gui whispering: "I don't live far, just a few steps away, no need to ......."
At this time, there was a sound by the door, and I only heard the eldest aunt complaining to someone outside, "It's so shameless, and I don't know which niece it is, she is an aunt who can't beat the edge, and she adds makeup to a thousand taels of silver?" I'm bah, is she a mountain of gold and silver when we are in our Lin Mansion, and there is money to pick it up if you keep your head low, the ancestors of the family have been mud legs for eight generations, and they have never even seen a few copper plates, and they dare to take such a big breath as soon as they open their mouths......"
The eldest aunt who came back from a fight with Aunt Fuzhong came in, and the Lin mother and daughter looked at the door, completely ignoring Aunt Gui's opinion.
Aunt Gui also forgot her words, and looked at the door curiously, wondering if the eldest aunt won the quarrel with Aunt Li, who asked for money, today.

As soon as the rain stopped on this day, Aunt Lin received a post from the Luo family before she received the news sent back by Lin Shouyi, who had gone out.
The seventh lady of the Luo family is getting married, and the wedding date is next month, and the post she sent said that she was going to hold a flower-viewing banquet, which was placed in the Luo family's peach garden.
The Luo family planted 2,000 acres of peach trees, and when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, they were indeed stunning in the entire south of the Yangtze River.
At this time, there are also many scholars and talented people who come here, and some are even nobles who come in disguise.
The peach garden of the Luo family has also produced a lot of good stories, and the most widely spread is that the tenants of the Luo family have a daughter, who was met by the nobles in Beijing who came to enjoy the flowers in the peach garden of the Luo family, and was shocked by the heavens, and has been taken to Beijing by the nobles to live a good life of wearing gold and silver.
The Luo family also does not set a threshold, as long as the people who go in do not break the flower branches, they are allowed to enter, so that there are more people who go to the Luo family's peach garden in the past two years, and it is crowded every year.
The Luo family also got a good reputation.
This idea came from the fifth son of the Luo family, that is, Mrs. Luo's biological son-in-law, in this regard, Lin Baoshan sighed to Aunt Lin more than once, this Luo family is also good luck to give birth to such a good son.
As soon as the peach blossoms bloom in the peach garden, many people have to go in to take a look, even if they just touch the trunk, the lady of the Luo family is not without pride in taking this, and every year in the past two years, there will be a flower party to receive friends in the boudoir.
However, those who are qualified to set up a flower party in the Luo family have to be favored, and the seventh lady is not a concubine, and she is not favored to the point that the Luo family specially holds a flower party for her, so she can hold this flower party, which may be related to her imminent marriage.
The place where Luo Qiniang wants to marry is the capital, and it is said that she is married to a big official in Beijing as a step-family - Aunt Lin also knows a little about this from the eyes and ears of the family, and the big official is indeed a big official, and the fourth rank is an important position in Beijing.
It's just that there is one bad thing, this man has married three wives, and I heard that every wife died violently.
I don't know if Luo Qi Niangzi knows or doesn't know.
Aunt Lin and Qi Niangzi's relationship is not good or bad, she went this time to see what the situation was.
In the past few years, the Luo family has gone to Beijing to marry daughters, and there are already several daughters who have been assigned to people in the capital, and the first one has entered the palace, Luo Qi is the third one who is about to marry in the capital.
The Luo family's road is getting wider and wider, and it is getting more and more off-road.
picked up the post, and as soon as she said that she was going to the Peach Blossom Club, the little girl took the big girl to rummage through the cabinets and turned out Aunt Lin's golden silk skirt......
When Aunt Lin saw that the maid planned to let her wear this, she was also powerless.
"You say, if I wear this, am I going to get married, or is Luo Qi going to marry?" She pointed to the priceless gold silk dress, not to mention that this skirt is ridiculously expensive, but also ridiculously heavy, okay?
Wearing more than a dozen pounds of clothes to go out, did she go out as a guest, or did she go out to practice?
Her father made her such a dress for the New Year last year, and he wanted her to save some private money, not for her to really wear it, okay?
"Again, it's a little heavier." Holding the silk skirt in both hands, she only moved half of the little girl and muttered, folded it carefully, and went to look at the red gauze jasmine skirt and purple dress.
"This," Aunt Lin pointed to the box far away from her, and pointed to the top of the green dress and blue flower skirt, how playful and refreshing it looked, this is what she wears as a ten-year-old girl, what is the gold and purple for, "Just take it and hang it up." ”
"Isn't it a little vegetarian?" Xiaoya looked at it and was not very satisfied.
The banquet will definitely go to a lot of daughters, and she doesn't like her lady to be compared.
"I'm going to wear this, you go and get it for yourself, don't bother me, I'm going to read the account book."
As soon as she heard that the eldest lady was going to do the right thing, the little girl didn't dare to delay blindly, and watched the eldest lady go out briskly, and hesitated to follow.
The lady thinks she's squirming.
The big goose shook his mouth next to him and snickered, and bit his sister's ear with the little goose: "The eldest lady thinks the clothes chosen by the little sister are ugly." ”
If she is ugly a few times, Sister Xiaoya will not be able to be a big girl.
When the little girl heard it, she glanced at her hatefully.
**
When it was almost time in the afternoon to pick up the little fat man, the housekeeper in the front yard sent someone over and asked Aunt Lin to go to the front yard, saying that the fifth aunt of the Lin family was over.
Master Lin's seven sisters are all concubines, five of them are his two younger brothers, Lin Baoluo and Lin Baoxian are the same mother, and the other two are also estranged from Master Lin, so the relationship with the Lin Mansion has not been good for so many years, and there are very few contacts.
Of course, if Lin Bao is good at preventing trouble, he also used a way to make them dare not find the Lin Mansion.
It's just that as soon as he fell, Lin Baoluo and Lin Baoxian's minds became active, and these women surnamed Lin were sent out by them to explore the way as the first target.
She has seen few of these five aunts, obviously they live in the same city, and Aunt Lin has seen her as many times as other aunts, only a handful.
Speaking of which, the ladies of the Lin family who married out are not bad, and the worst one is also a small landlord's wife, and there is really no one who has a miserable life.
These five aunts said that her husband's family is also a bit of a family, and her father-in-law used to be a county official for more than ten years, and when he returned to his hometown, he also received a few words of praise from the saint, and in a small place, it was also a little famous.
But six years ago, their family moved from the county seat below Chunjiang Prefecture in Linzhou to Yizhou, and during that time they walked around the Lin family more, but there were fewer later.
Aunt Lin knew that her fat father had helped them settle down, and gave them a house and nearly 100 acres of land, which could be regarded as the generosity of her rich relatives.
The lord and son of this family are still on the way to the imperial examination, and it stands to reason that if they go to the top, it will not be good to offend the Lin Mansion that has something to do with the capital.
is that they may have limited qualifications, two fathers and sons, one has been tested for half his life, and the other has been tested for nearly ten years, and the two of them have not even fished out a show, and they are not even qualified to buy officials.
Speaking of which, Lin Baoshan is the most depressed, their Lin family also supports people of the same clan and relatives to go to school and take the exam, and in the past few decades, the Lin family has not produced a few people. The two who came out now didn't have a good relationship with him, and they took his money to take advantage of his power, and they didn't recognize anyone when they turned their faces. Unlike the Luo family, there are always a few people who are officials in the court, and some of them are still capable people, and even the saints have to worry more about the Luo family in their face.
Aunt Lin was also depressed about this, and their family also threw a lot of money on these scholars of the Lin family, and they didn't come up with a trick not to say, but also smashed out their faces and didn't recognize people. She felt that her fat father's luck had been spent on expanding the fields, and nothing else.
Now, I don't know if these five aunts are also here to ask if they have anything to give her......
Just when Aunt Lin was thinking about things and walked to the front yard, Aunt Lin Wu was sitting in the guest hall, she drank tea, and quietly looked at the tables and chairs made of ebony in the guest hall.
The Lin family is really rich, even the sill fence is made of sandalwood, and the oil is shining.
When she got married, the Lin family only gave her 5,000 taels to marry, nothing else, and the tables and chairs here were more expensive than her.
