Chapter 74: Robbing People
Lin Long has been very happy these days, she received a letter from her mother, saying that the family was already on the way, and she came to Jingshi to see her.
Thinking of his mother, Lin Long was extremely soft-hearted, and the coldness between his eyebrows subsided a lot.
Life is going well, the Lin family is very quiet, and the outside world has a good evaluation of her, and it is even more rare to get Xiao Yan, for the future life, Lin Long has already succeeded halfway.
The only thing that worries her is the condition of the hat.
But Lin Long is not a reckless person, she has excellent self-control, except for the loss of control at the beginning, she has always been natural.
She knows very well that the more she cares about things, the more she has to show her carelessness, and only in this way can she have time to lay out and find out the truth.
However, the waves are always hidden under the calm, and Mrs. Lin suddenly became troubled on a quiet afternoon.
Xu was to show his closeness to her granddaughter, and after the crab feast, Lin Long and Mrs. Lin ate together.
At the moment before the meal, everyone was still happy.
Mama Lu was a living treasure in front of the old lady, and she told a joke vividly, which made everyone laugh backwards.
Mama Gu scolded her with a smile: "You, you, you are shapeless." β
Mama Lu replied with an exaggerated grimace: "Nonsense, little lady, I am only eighteen this year, where is I old?" β
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, and even Lin Er, who had always been arrogant and conceited, laughed and wet her eyelashes, she lay in the arms of the old lady, holding the old lady's arm, and her cat-like glass eyes were bent into a crescent moon.
Mama Gu believed that she couldn't play a living treasure in front of people like Mama Lu, so she had to nod Mama Lu's forehead and smile helplessly.
After a laugh, the atmosphere in the room was pleasant, Lin Er was lying in the arms of Mrs. Lin, lazy as a cat, his eyes wandered around Mama Lu's waist for a moment, and he made a curious appearance: "Mama Lu, the embroidery of the purse on your waist is very chic." β
Pouch? Mama Lu glanced down, and the smile on her face suddenly widened.
"The second lady's vision is really good, this is the lilac girl next to the third lady embroidered, the stitching method is very unique, even the embroidery experts in the house can't embroider it for many years."
"Oh?" Lin Er's eyes widened, and he motioned for Mama Lu to continue.
Mama Lu respected Lin Long, and even had the impression of the maid beside her, she also deliberately praised her, and when she saw that the old lady's eyes were moving, she was busy praising the craftsmanship of cloves.
Lilac knelt behind Lin Long, and when she heard someone mention her craftsmanship, she was first shy, and then proud, but she was a little embarrassed to be so praised in front of everyone.
He lowered his head and looked supple.
Lin Er flicked the newly acquired jade bracelet on his wrist, and picked Lin Long's eyes with a smile, looking a little gloating.
"Coincidentally." Lin Er spoke, "I recently sewed an undershirt for my grandmother, and I want to embroider a big blessing character, but my craftsmanship is not good, and I always embroider badly, I don't know if the third sister can cut her love and lend me the cloves for a few days?" β
Hearing this, the original excitement in Lilac's chest was suddenly extinguished by cold water, and her eyes widened in surprise, and her gaze swept over everyone one by one.
She found that the so-called compliments were ill-intentioned at all, and even if there was no malice, the attitude was the same as that of a kitten and a puppy, as if she was a plaything for everyone's amusement.
Feeling uncomfortable as if she had been immersed in cold water, Lilac was uncomfortable and inferior, and buried her head lower and lower.
Lin Long was eating a cherry, and after listening to Lin Er's words, he was about to speak, but was preempted by Mama Gu: "Where is the second lady, the third lady is the most filial, why do you need to borrow it, this girl's craftsmanship is so good, of course you have to honor the old lady," After speaking, Mama Gu turned her head and smiled brightly at Lin Long, "Did you say that?" β
This one sings and harmonizes, blatantly calculating her girl.
Lin Long spit out the cherry pit, did not rush to reply or nod, but first wiped his lips with a handkerchief, and then took a sip of tea slowly and methodically, until everyone waited impatiently before he spoke quietly.
Although her movements were slow, her tone was unkind: "Mama Gu is also an old man in the house, she is so unruly, when will the slave be able to make decisions for the master." β
Lin Long put down the tea bowl and knocked on the food table, "I don't need you to show off my filial piety to my grandmother." β
Because Mama Gu was an old man next to the old lady, she had a lot of face, and even Qu was polite when she saw her, and she had never been reprimanded like this, so she immediately blushed with shame.
Because of Lin Long's words, the atmosphere in the room was a little delicate, and even Mrs. Lin's face was not good, and she stared at Lin Long quietly for a long time.
Only Lin Er was still lazy, rubbing his fingertips on the jade bracelet on his wrist, "The third sister is so stingy, if you don't borrow it, you won't borrow it, what do you do when it comes to Mama Gu, Mama is the grandmother's dowry, and there are two generations behind us." If you are dissatisfied in your heart, angry with me, and unwilling to let the girl embroider blessing words for your grandmother, just say it, why bother to be angry with Mama Gu. β
is really a good pair of sharp teeth, in just a few words, Lin Long's behavior is defined, and an image of willful, delicate, unreasonable and unfilial is instantly generated.
I didn't expect things to come to this point, Lilac gave people a purse at the beginning, just thinking about interacting with people more, so that it would not be difficult to act in the Lin Mansion, but I didn't expect to bring so much trouble to the lady.
For a while, Lilac was remorseful and ashamed, reached out and pulled Lin Long's sleeve, and whispered: "Lady." β
Lin Long calmly brushed Lilac's fingers away, stroked his wrinkled sleeves, and raised his eyebrows to look at Lin Er: "Second sister, what are you talking about, did I say that I won't borrow it?" Do I have a grievance against you? I wasn't angry either. The second sister should not treat others with herself, she does not count as a grandmother, and she accuses her sisters of being unfilial.
I just mentioned Mama Gu and said a word, so why not be angry. The second sister jumped out in such a hurry, and she didn't know that she thought that Mama Gu was your own grandmother. β
That's a bit too much!
However, the master teaches people that people with eyes usually do not interfere in person, which not only cannot establish the authority of the master, but also makes the masters resentful of each other.
Lin Er accused Lin Long in person for Mama Gu, it was really inappropriate, I didn't see it, the old lady didn't speak.
Slave bullying is no trivial matter! Although Mama Gu is joking, she is indeed suspected of being the master for Lin Long, and the master's girl is not something she can decide where to go with a word.
Seeing that the trouble was getting more and more fierce, Mrs. Lin's expression was unswerving: "Enough." β
The old lady spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly quieted down, only Lin Er didn't care much, and snuggled in the old lady's arms to complain: "Grandmother, look at the third sister, it's too stingy, but it's just a girl, and she is reluctant to honor her grandmother." β
Old Madam Lin raised her head and glanced at Lin Long coldly.
The eldest lady Qu didn't understand what was going on at first, she only thought that Lin Er was going to stir up trouble, but now she thought in her heart that Lin Er should have acted like this at the behest of the old lady.
Thinking about it, Qu Shi opened his mouth and agreed: "Although Erniang's speech is a little inappropriate, it is a pure filial piety, Sanniang must not lag behind, your girl's embroidery skills are so good, just filial piety to the old lady." β
"yes." Lin Liu opened his mouth idly, then raised the tail of his eyes, and squinted at Lin Long, "Third sister is just reluctant, is it that in your heart, grandmother is not as good as a girl." β
Everyone, every word you say to me, all accuse Lin Long of not being filial.
Lin Long didn't wait, Lilac was already restless, and her head was about to be buried in her chest.
"Third sister, you just give the right words, whether to give it or not." Lin Er stood up suddenly and looked down at Lin Long condescendingly.
Lin Long sat steadily, as if he had no influence from the audience, and when he heard Lin Er's imposing question, he just raised his head slightly, and his expression was a little helpless: "The second sister also said that she was just a girl, where do you need to ask for it like this, grandmother spoke directly." β
After speaking, Lin Long lowered his head and took a sip of tea, as if he was very puzzled by everyone's righteous indignation.
Her actions made everyone look pale, and even the old lady couldn't get off the stage, but she was stained with an old word, and her face was thick-skinned, and her face still didn't change: "Since it is Sanniang's filial piety, I will accept it." β
Lin Long smiled at Mrs. Lin's lips, and was about to nod, when he suddenly thought of something, and spoke: "I don't know the geometry of my grandmother's birthday, this girl Lilac was approved by a master when she was young, saying that her fate is fire, and her fire is extremely strong, ordinary people can't stand it, especially Jin's life." β
Old Madam Lin's expression changed slightly.
Mama Gu hurriedly said: "What nonsense, it's just the nonsense of the warlock, not to mention that the old lady is rich and noble, she is a little girl, how dare she restrain the old lady." β
"That's right." Lin Long smiled and nodded.
At this point, this Hongmen banquet is over.
Lilac followed Lin Long back to pack up her things, she looked stunned all the way, she didn't understand how she got to the old lady, she was just a little girl, and she was lucky enough to be robbed.
Thinking of the battle that everyone robbed before, Lilac had palpitations.
Although she didn't want to leave and was aggrieved in her heart, she also knew that with the shape of the time, the lady had no room to refuse.
The gang almost grabbed it, pointed at the lady's nose and scolded her for being unfilial.
Back in the courtyard, Lin Shuo didn't know what was going on, and grimaced at Lilac Hippie with a smile.
Lilac barely managed to squeeze out a smile and almost didn't cry.
No matter how nervous Lin Shuo was, he also sensed that something was wrong, and just as he was about to ask, he was pulled aside by Mama Qin, and then made room for Lin Long and Lilac with interest.
The master and servant sat opposite each other indoors, Lilac didn't want to cry, but she couldn't control it, and the tears fell down.
"Lady......" Her voice choked and she quickly lowered her head, not wanting her to see her tears.
Unlike Lilac's love that was out of control, Lin Long's face was surprisingly calm.
Lilac cried for a long time, vented her feelings, raised her hand to wipe her tears, raised her head and smiled at Lin Long, and deliberately brought up an interesting topic.
is about to leave the lady, and she doesn't want to make the lady sad.
"Lady, how can you say that the maid is the life of fire, the maid is obviously the life of water, and no one gives the maid a life."
"From now on, you will be on fire."
Lilac froze.
Looking at her stupid look with a red nose, Lin Long couldn't hold back a smile and explained: "The old lady likes to wear obsidian bead chains, and the house is not only a hanging ornament but also a tool to play, mostly obsidian. And she doesn't like fireworks like the kitchen, which is obviously a golden life. The hit belongs to gold, and there is too much gold, so it is to wear obsidian. Huo Kejin is to dislike the kitchen. β
Lilac was still stunned, embarrassed to hear it, and didn't understand at all.
"Silly girl." Lin Long stretched out his hand and scratched her nose, "You are destined to belong to fire, fire is golden, the old lady must be afraid." β
"So what?" Lilac still doesn't understand.
Lin Long took a pen and wrote a few dish names on the paper, and handed a sachet to the cloves.
"Now that autumn is dry, these are foods that are easy to catch fire, and the spices in the sachet are also hot and dry, you go to the old lady's side, and you will be able to come back in a few days."
Lilac blinked, suddenly had an epiphany, the light in her eyes was as bright as the sun, and she excitedly pulled Lin Long's sleeve: "Lady......"
"Go ahead." Lin Long waved his hand.
Lilac still has concerns, and her heart is moved and guilty, the lady has always been kind-hearted, and even Chen Shu has let her go several times. Now for herself, she is actually planning an old lady.
Since she was a child, the lady taught her to be kind and lenient to others, so as to be open in her heart and not pay attention to knots.
Now, the lady is actually ...... Actually using conspiracy and trickery, isn't it to leave a knot in the heart.
"Lady!" Love xù steady dìng down, Lilac regained her senses, she would rather leave the lady than never let the lady make ghost tricks for her.
Knowing that Lilac wanted to be left, Lin Long was very speechless, where did she have any knots, no matter what she did, it was out of her own heart. But if you explain it this way, I'm afraid Lilac won't understand it either.
After thinking about it, Lin Long changed his words: "Silly girl, this is a conspiracy, I have already reminded them that they have bad intentions and insist on doing so." β
Hearing this, Lilac suddenly brightened.
Then happily pack up the salute and go to the main courtyard to stay temporarily, which is regarded as a visit.
Mrs. Lin didn't say anything, but in fact, she had already remembered Lin Long's words in her heart, she was a person who feared ghosts and gods, and she was the most afraid of each other, and she rarely saw the face of cloves on weekdays.
However, in the end, she bothered to snatch this girl from Lin Long, and it was not good to throw it away without asking, so she had to see her once a day.
Lilac is also well-behaved, and rarely deliberately goes to the old lady, either quietly accompanying Lin Er to embroider, or going to the kitchen to work.
Because Lin Long gave Lin Er no face on the spot that day, Lin Er actually had some mustard for Lin Long in his heart. Hates the house and the black, and has a bad perception of cloves.
But after a few days of getting along, Lin Er had to admit that even if she picked on Lilac with the harshest eye, she couldn't find the slightest fault.
Diligent, sensible and quiet, she is really a good girl.
