Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Old Lady's Calculations
"It's really strange that they're not afraid of me making a big deal about the wedding?" Lin Yu frowned and said, "Or is the invitation fake?" But there's no point in playing a prank. ”
Even Qingqing didn't figure it out, and looked at the date on the invitation, the eighteenth day of the lunar month, and there is still nearly a month to go, "Let's take a look first, I don't know if those two people really arrived before the year." ”
However, the next day, someone broke the doubt between the two, and the old lady next to Mrs. Lin came with two daughters-in-law, and also brought four silk horses and four snacks.
Lin Yu has seen this Mama Chen, and she is indeed the right-hand man beside Mrs. Lin, and I heard that she was Mrs. Lin's dowry maid back then. Hurriedly invited someone to come in and sit down. Pearl came up with tea in her hand.
"Mama moisten your mouth, there is no good tea for small households." Qingqing and Lin Yu exchanged glances and said with a smile, "I wonder what Mama Lu Dao is doing today?" ”
This is the first time that Mrs. Lin has sent someone to the small house where Lin Yu lives, Qingqing thinks of this, and can't help but feel that Mrs. Lin's love for Lin Yu is all false, if you really don't worry, can you send someone to see it often? Even Yin Susu personally came to visit once, and sent someone to give a gift for the new home.
Mama Chen didn't notice Qingqing's boredom, and still smiled, "It's just that the old lady wants to see Miss, so she sent the old slave over to see if there was anything missing?" Do you want someone to help? ”
This is true or false, even Lin Yu couldn't help but pout, but there was still a smile on his face, "Aunt Lao is concerned, I'm fine, please help me say hello to my aunt." ”
Mama Chen chatted for a while, and she didn't know if it was because the elderly people talked a lot, or for other reasons, she even asked what kind of tableware and tea set Lin Yu bought, but she still didn't mention the topic, which made Lin Yu very annoyed. Qingqing has been indulging in the endless fragrance world for the past two days, not to mention how tired she is, but she knows that although she is not a slave, she still has some problems with her identity, and it is not easy to intervene, so she can only make Lin Yu look good.
Lin Yu thought about it, and it was not interesting to keep this old grandmother and mutter, so he said, "I know that Mama Dao has always been the most useful by my aunt's side, and it is not too early to look at it, and I will not leave Mama to eat." It just so happens that we have fresh snacks today, and the pearls are packed in a box and brought to my aunt to taste, which is also a little bit of my heart. ”
Old Mama Chen watched Lin Yu prepare to serve tea to the guests, but she was not good at talking, and was ready to get to the point. It's not that she's old and confused, but she thinks it's so hard to talk about it, or it's impossible at all, and she can't imagine what the old lady thinks. But if she didn't say it again, she wouldn't have a chance to say it, she opened her mouth with difficulty.
"Master Hou and Miss Zhang have set a date, which is on the eighteenth day of the lunar month."
"And then?" Lin Yu pretended to be confused and looked at Mama Chen what she was going to say.
"The old lady hopes that Miss Biao will also be in attendance." Mama Chen swallowed her saliva and finally spoke, "The legend of outsiders is quite ugly, and some people say that Miss Zhang killed the concubine of the Hou Ye." ”
"Did my aunt tell you about it?" Lin Yu asked again with a faint smile. "Want to attend, send gifts, and congratulate them on their new marriage?"
"It is true that the old lady asked the old slave to come."
"I know." Lin Yu restrained his smile and said lightly.
"So do you go or not?" Mama Chen still wanted to say a word, but was interrupted by Lin Yu.
"Sister Qingqing, help me send Mama Chen."
Mama Chen looked at Lin Yu with an indifferent expression, and swallowed the words of persuasion. Qingqing glanced at Lin Yu a little worriedly, then stuffed a purse for Mama Chen, and handed a bag of dim sum to the daughter-in-law who followed behind and asked them to take it.
Xuelan Xuemei, that is, the twins, looked at Lin Yu's calm face and looked unhappy, and hurriedly came up and joked, "Miss, you just let you make all the snacks, take them away?" ”
Lin Yu looked at the two girls and made a little gluttonous cat look, thought about it, shook his head and smiled, "It's a lot, two little gluttonous cats, but don't eat too much, be careful of stomach ache when you eat it." ”
The life of these two girls was indeed not very good, and Ren Yapo said that their family was actually okay, but I didn't expect that Lin Yu asked Sun Niangzi to steam two pots of steamed buns that day, so that everyone could eat first, and these two girls each ate two big steamed buns until their stomachs hurt. Lin Yu was angry and funny, and when he asked, he realized that these two had only seen white-flour steamed buns, but the stepmother would never let them eat them.
"Not anymore." Sister Xuelan looked at Lin Yu and smiled, "Miss, how about you teach me how to make dim sum?" ”
"Follow your Aunt Sun to learn, you can learn her craft three or two achievements, which is enough for you to use."
Lin Yu found that he had found a treasure, and Sun's craftsmanship was indeed good. Although it is not as good as himself as a reborn person, he has dim sum, home-cooked dishes, and fashionable dishes, and is definitely very good among ancient cooks. Lin Yu still remembered that Qingqing mentioned before that a slightly better cook would cost forty or fifty taels of silver for the whole stove, and Sun's skill was generally fifty taels of silver. However, it is also possible that Sun sold herself and wanted to find a better family for her daughter, although her daughter is not very old, she can also see a little delicate. Although it is not as beautiful as the twins, she is definitely a beautiful woman when she grows up.
"What about you?" Lin Yu asked her younger sister Xuemei, who was more shy, "Do you also want to learn cooking, or do you want to learn from female celebrities?" ”
"I want to follow Sister Pearl to learn from Girl Red." Xuemei really had different ambitions from her sister, and said to Lin Yu in a sweet voice.
"Men are unreliable, no matter what, women must always have a skill." Lin Yu said with a smile. If the female celebrity does well, it is also a top-notch craft, which is enough to support herself. The pearl was sold by the original owner, and I am afraid that the original male owner will look for it again, and the sale will be urgent and cheap, otherwise it will not be a problem to support herself with her craftsmanship. Even people like Lin Yu who don't know anything about embroidery female red can easily see how beautiful the flowers and plants embroidered with pearls are, and people not only have quality, but also the speed is very impressive.
All in all, because Lin Yu is a woman, many women are also more willing to work under her, although Lin Yu's monthly money is not much, the Pearl Sun family has three hundred per person, and the other rough maids are one hundred and fifteen a month, but food, clothing and housing are all-inclusive.
Lin Yu was educating the twins on the necessity of women's independence in the feudal era, and Qingqing came in politely.
"What does Old Madam Lin think, asking you to help that little vixen of the Zhang family?!" After thinking about it, he was still very angry, and Qingqing slapped it on the table, which scared the twins. Their stepmothers beat and scolded them at every turn, and there was a little psychological shadow.
