Lin Qinghe said: "Erniang went to her mother's house for a few days, I am afraid that the affairs of the family will be unmanaged, and our family is a big family, and there are countless things to do every day. ”

"So, your second mother let me take care of it for a few days."

"But my grandmother is old, and I'm afraid she can't manage it."

The old lady looked at Lin Qinghe, smiled slightly, and said, "Then according to He'er's opinion, how should it be?" ”

Lin Qinghe said softly: "Sanniang is quite a suitable candidate. ”

The old lady was stunned for a moment and said, "She? I'm afraid it won't work. ”

"Grandmother, Sanniang is a famous family, and there are brothers who are officials in the court, besides, she is also a concubine in her mother's family, she must have heard and seen some ways to govern the family since she was a child, she should be a very suitable candidate."

The old lady patted her hand lightly and said earnestly: "My son, grandmother thought that you were going to recommend yourself, but she never thought that you had a generous heart, and grandmother blamed you. ”

Lin Qinghe smiled secretly in her heart, if she directly recommended herself, she was afraid that it would arouse the disgust of the old lady, and then she felt that she was ambitious, although she was the daughter of the family, but after all, she was someone else's family, and it was definitely not her turn to take charge of the affairs of this family.

Naturally, it was impossible for her to touch the old lady's scales for this matter.

"Grandmother, He'er is young and not familiar with the affairs of the family, but Sanniang is different, she is very familiar with the things in the family, and it is only a few days, He'er believes that she will be able to manage it well."

The old lady said: "I have a conclusion in my heart about this matter, and I will think about it carefully." ”

Lin Qinghe nodded, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the third lady who had been standing outside, presumably the third lady should look at her differently at this moment.

Not long after the two of them entered the house, the third lady walked in with a smile on her face, holding a basket of fruits in her hand, and said, "Old lady, my mother's brother asked someone to bring a little fresh melon and fruit, saying that they were brought back from Huo Liguo, and they have been covered with ice on the way, so that they can be so fresh." ”

As he spoke, he took one for the old lady, and uncharacteristically took another for Lin Qinghe, and said with a smile: "I have washed it, I can eat it directly." ”

Lin Qinghe said, "Thank you, Sanniang." ”

The old lady asked, "Third child, have you ever tasted it?" ”

The third lady smiled like a flower, although she is no longer young, but she is also the peak of a mature woman, so she added a lot of charm, she said, "I have tasted it, it tastes very good, it is not sour at all, otherwise, I don't dare to bring it to the old lady." ”

Lin Qinghe took a bite lightly, it tasted really good, and said with a smile: "It's good, grandmother, you can also taste it." ”

She said, glanced at the third lady, today's third lady is really different, although she didn't deliberately dress up, but the whole person was cleaned up neatly, and she was a shrewd person at first glance.

Lin Qinghe said: "Sanniang, you look really heroic today." ”

The old lady said, "Ganghe'er is still praising you." ”

The third lady laughed a little embarrassedly and said, "It's rare to be praised, I have to have a drink with the old lady today." ”

Taking advantage of the second lady's absence, it was her time to please the old lady.

In fact, as soon as the third lady came in, Lin Qinghe already knew her purpose, and just saw her standing outside the courtyard all the time, refusing to come in, presumably just to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two of them.

Lin Qinghe's approach is very good, on the one hand, he flattered the third lady, and on the other hand, he was recognized by the old lady, if he didn't do it, he still had the opportunity to take charge of this family.

Taking a step back, even if it is the last third lady's housekeeper, it is a very big blow to the second lady.

At least, the second lady will feel that her position is not guaranteed, and she panics all day long, and by the way, it also separates the relationship between the three of them.
