However, Lin Ruyu stood up without humility or arrogance, and solemnly gave Sun Zhangyang and his wife a salute: "Thank you for your cousin and sister-in-law not giving up and taking in our mother and daughter." There is a room to stand on, and at four o'clock coarse tea and light rice, Ruyu is already very grateful. Where can you ask for luxury and give orders like a serious master? It's just that Ruyu eats and drinks in vain, but she doesn't want to go, if her sister-in-law doesn't dislike it, Ruyu has also learned needlework for female workers at a young age, and helps her sister-in-law make clothes for her niece and nephew. ”

Qing Dai, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, saw Ruyu's words, and nodded secretly in her heart: Although this Lin Ruyu's name is not far from Lin Daiyu, she still seems to know how to advance and retreat. Let's see, I hope it's not an uneasy one.

So Aunt Lin's mother and daughter stayed in Sun's Mansion. Aunt Lin wanted to help Li Haizhu's housekeeper share her worries, but she had been suffering in the Lin family for many years, and once she relaxed, she felt that the pain in her body would come out, and she couldn't get busy with the doctor for a while, and she couldn't do anything.

However, Lin Ruyu was very careful, and after only a few days of coming, she made a set of clothes for each of the four members of the Sun family, with fine stitches and novel styles, which were very liked by the Sun couple. Usually don't say a word, don't take a single step, only work in his own room, and treat people kindly, gentle words, and people also say that Miss Biao is the style of everyone's ladies.

One day, Li Haizhu suffered from a cold and couldn't get up, so he had to ask Aunt Lin to take care of it, but Aunt Lin was also a little bad, so she asked Lin Ruyu to take care of it for a few days. I don't have the face to teach you anything. It's just that my mother and I ate Sun's food, wore Sunfu's clothes, and treated my cousin and sister-in-law kindly, but I couldn't help but repay the great kindness. Now my sister-in-law is recuperating, but she entrusts this family to me, if I don't care about everything, I can get the name of a good person, but I have failed my brother and sister-in-law's deep kindness. I have to thicken my skin on behalf of my sister-in-law for a few days, all grandmothers and sisters-in-law, please treat me in front of my cousin and sister-in-law for a few days. If anyone deceives me with a young face and a bad errand, I will have to offend one or two. ”

The words were soft and hard, which made the mother-in-law Nuo Nuo, unable to understand the depth of this cousin for a while, and those who wanted to fish in troubled waters also temporarily extinguished their thoughts, and wanted to see her actions before making a move.

Lin Ruyu is very diligent, he is in the flower hall in the morning, and when he arrives in the evening, he will sit in a small sedan chair to inspect the portals. The servants who like to secretly drink and play cards after the second gate falls on weekdays don't dare to be as casual as before. The atmosphere of the Sun Mansion suddenly disappeared.

When Li Haizhu fully recovered, it was half a month later, and as soon as Lin Ruyu heard that Li Haizhu was fine, she immediately sent it to the upper room with a box containing the account book of the cards. Although Li Haizhu persuaded him hard, he insisted that he would no longer take care of the house, which made Li Haizhu very depressed, so he had to take it over again. It's just that the servants and servants have been nervous for half a month, and they all breathe a long sigh of relief.

Ruyu handed over the pair of cards to Li Haizhu and went back to Aunt Lin's courtyard. As soon as I entered the room, I saw Aunt Lin sitting in the rose chair with a snort. Although the body is still a plain filial piety dress, it is no longer an ordinary white cloth shirt. The plain high-grade moire satin jacket shines with a watery luster in the movement. He wore a white fox fur on the outside, with a snow-white body and no miscellaneous hair. The silver cloves on the ears were also replaced with a pair of earrings made of mutton fat jade. It's just that the complexion is not very good-looking, and the face is angry. The little girl behind her held the food box and sent it to Aunt Lin tremblingly, but Aunt Lin lifted her to the ground and scolded: "Didn't I say that I don't eat other snacks except for Baiguoxuan's flax cakes?!" Why are you still sending these rags here! Aren't you snubbing our mother and daughter when they see that we don't care about our family?! ”

Lin Ruyu sighed, waved her hand and asked the trembling little girl who was scolded to pack up the food box and snacks on the ground and retreat, and closed the door. I sat down and poured myself a cup of tea and drank: "Mother, what kind of anger is this?" Don't you know that Baiguoxuan's flax cakes only sell for 100 pieces a day, and they start selling at a quarter of a quarter in the morning, but they are sold out in two quarters of an hour, and you only want to eat them in the afternoon, where can people buy them? Although the dim sum just now is not a flax cake, it is also a good dim sum of Baiguoxuan, and it also costs one or two silver and a catty. But just a few days later, you had such a seizure, and you were so picky that your cousin and sister-in-law knew, would you not blame you? After all, we are under the fence, and everything can be convergent. ”

Aunt Lin breathed a few sighs of anger when she heard this, and then she eased up: "It's not that you don't know anything!" I finally took charge of the housework, why did I return it in just a few days? It's only been a few days, what benefits can it be! ”

Lin Ruyu sighed: "Mother, you don't know anything. Are you stupid to be a cousin and sister-in-law? The subordinates of this Manchu Mansion are all cousins-in-law's henchmen, and none of them are our people. Whenever I have the slightest idea of seizing power and greedy ink, I am afraid that both of us will be kicked out immediately! I'm just careful to reassure my cousin! In addition to being wary of my cousin and sister-in-law so slowly, I will slowly hold people's hearts, are you still worried that this Sun Mansion is not ours? ”

Aunt Lin let out a long breath: "I'll just say how stupid you are, you work hard for others in vain!" It turns out that you still see it really! ”

She thought about it and became excited again: "It's just that this housekeeper can't get a lot of money." I just heard that your cousin-in-law can't give birth! This is not your chance! ”

She lowered her voice: "If you are a concubine for your cousin and give birth to a son in a year and a half, then the entire Sun family will be ours at that time!" ”

Lin Ruyu raised her eyebrows: "Mother! After my dignified eunuch, a good innocent daughter, you actually want me to be a child! ”

She sneered: "If it weren't for the fact that the Sun family is richer than the prince, I wouldn't have bothered to do so." If I marry my cousin, I will definitely marry the media, and if I want to do it, I will be the serious master of this Sun Mansion! ”

Aunt Lin opened her mouth widely: "Do you want your cousin to marry you as a flat wife?" ”

Lin Ruyu sneered: "Flat wife? Do you think that according to your cousin's affection for your cousin, he will be willing? As long as Li Haizhu lives in this world for one day, there will be no other woman in his cousin's eyes! ”

Aunt Lin said, "What should I do?" Aren't we hopeless? Then let your cousin tell you about good family affairs, and your mother will beg him again to let him give you more dowry, which can be regarded as a settlement. ”

Lin Ruyu disdainfully: "My cousin himself is just a lifter, and the people he usually contacts are only businessmen, where can he find me a good relative?" Ask him? How much dowry can he give me?

Can it be more than you did back then? Besides, even if he sent me 18,000 silver, how would it compare to the assets of the entire Sun family? You can be willing to get only a drop in the bucket? ”

Aunt Lin was confused: "Then what do you say to do?" ”

Lin Ruyu lightly brushed the folds on her sleeves: "Small amount is not a gentleman, no poison is not a husband." My cousin got in my way, so I had no choice but to ask her to give way! Mother, didn't you still have the medicine you used to deal with those aunts? After we have a firm foothold in Sun's Mansion, we will slowly give it to her, anyway, she is always sick and crooked, and it is not unusual for her to die of illness one day. ”

Aunt Lin gasped and said hesitantly, "Oops! Although your cousin-in-law said that she couldn't give birth, she was really good, and I couldn't bear to hurt her like this. ”

Lin Ruyu frowned impatiently: "You still love to drag mud and water like this!" If you had sold all those aunts earlier, would our family still be so poor? ”

Aunt Lin said, "I want to sell all those sluts!" But your father ......"

Lin Ruyu sneered: "Mother, you are still so confused!" What has Daddy relied on for so many years? It's not all your dowry! If you harden up, how dare he be so presumptuous?! It's a big deal, you go back to your parents' house with the dowry, what else can he eat and wear? Don't you dare to leave him! Since he doesn't dare to leave you, what are you afraid of? Those sluts shouldn't be beating, killing, and killing, keeping the money in vain! ”

Speaking of those concubines, Aunt Lin hated so much that her eyes were about to burst out: "That slut!" I sold them for 8,000 taels, which is too cheap! It's not worth the worth of that Miao Xian! You don't ask a few more and pick a higher price. ”

Lin Ruyu almost vomited blood: "Mother! That's dealing with Qinglou! You asked one of my boudoir daughters to go to the Qinglou to bargain! Do you want to shop around?! Besides, if it weren't for the fact that we negotiated the price and paid the money and left in a quarter of an hour, do you think we would still be able to go if we leaked a little rumor? The starter is still waiting to strip us dry and squeeze a few taels of silver. If we hadn't run fast, I wouldn't know if our two would still have their lives! ”

She waved her hand: "Don't talk about those shitty things, just talk about the ones in front of you." You are soft-hearted and reluctant to take your cousin's life, but you know that you are not filial! ”

Aunt Lin was stunned and blinked: "What does this have to do with my filial piety?" ”

Lin Ruyu sighed: "Mother, think about it, can't your cousin give birth?" She can't give birth, and her cousin doesn't want to take a concubine, so is her cousin about to die? Unfilial piety has three no queens, is it the great unfilial piety to the ancestors? Are you also unfilial when you look at the Sun family? ”

Aunt Lin slapped her thigh, and her face lit up with excitement: "Yes! That's really the reason! If I watch the Sun family die, and go underground in the future, not to mention my father and mother, even my brother and sister-in-law will not let me go! With this one, your sister-in-law must die! When she dies, you marry your cousin and give birth to a son, we are the heroes of the Sun family! Right! That's it! That's a good thing to have all four corners! ”
