Chapter 29: "Blessing" by Misfortune
I said a few words to the second aunt and daughter, and I couldn't help but comfort them. After that, Lin Xiang went out of the Furong Courtyard, with an unfathomable face, and explained to the housekeeper behind him, to inform the second and third ladies to prepare for the afternoon palace banquet, and he hurriedly went to the study.
Lin Xiang didn't know what kind of mentality he should treat these two daughters, the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat, and the two daughters couldn't tell which one was more beneficial to their official career, and which one could protect the Lin family wholeheartedly. At present, the two daughters are still too young and have no relatives to do, so they think that the daughter who has been hiding for so many years should also meet people, so as to consider choosing a son-in-law in the future.
After all, this is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so there is naturally no need to worry about family affairs, as long as there is no problem of women's morality, no matter how bad it is, she should be the prince's side concubine. Looking at Fu'er and even Aunt Qiu's daughter, Rong'er is different, the power of the maternal family is low, and she is a concubine, if she blindly covers it up, she will just marry an unfavored prince as a side concubine or even a concubine. It's better to let them go out now to see and make friends, if they get the eyes of the emperor or any prince, it will naturally be better.
In Yuzhu Courtyard, Lin Zhiyu faced the courtyard that he hadn't seen for a month, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh. How can people believe that such a courtyard is actually the residence of Miss Xiangfu?
The original strange flowers and plants in the courtyard were burned, and there was only a pile of ashes left. The corpse of the little green snake was scorched in the corner of the wall, and the other poisons did not know whether they were dead or escaped. I hurriedly went to the medicine house to take a look, and sure enough, the herbs on the shelf fell to the ground, and all the bottles and cans were broken on the ground. In the corner of the medicine house, the sharp-eyed Lin Zhuyu also found a multicolored silk thread, picked it up and looked at the workmanship well, obviously he was not in this month, someone entered the yard and set fire.
Inside, no one cleaned it for more than a month, the tables and chairs were full of dust, and there were a lot of black ashes on the table. The spider web was also knotted, and there were many dead spider corpses on the ground, and the little girl brought from Jiangnan didn't pay attention to stepping on it when she entered the door, and she jumped to her feet in fright. Lin Zhiyu was calm, endured his anger, and when he entered the inner room, he was no better.
Although I can't be sure, I can guess some, this fire is probably inseparable from the second aunt!
Just thought about it, since the second aunt dared to set the fire, she must have done everything possible. Maybe the second aunt had already dug a pit, and it was unknown when she was waiting for herself to jump.
But now you can't let yourself swallow this breath, you can't be too cowardly! I really have to think of a perfect plan to scare the second aunt.
That's right? Isn't the scorpion in the yard gone? That's a great idea! At least let the second aunt not dare to have any thoughts about Yu Zhuyuan in the future.
It's just that for now, I still have to tidy up this yard first, Nangu is not here, and I don't want to do much to see this little girl. Oh my God, her dignified concubine is going to come to clean up, Lin Zhuyu has a kind of idea of looking up to the sky and sighing, it seems that this girl's matter must be solved as soon as possible, or she will not be exhausted to death?
I couldn't help but think of Nangu again, I wonder if Nangu has arrived in the capital? How were you doing along the way?
There is also Lin Bai's kid, because he is not a slave, Lin Zhuyu simply found a place to live outside first, which is also convenient for Nangu to come and live when he arrives. At the same time, he also confessed the secret matter for Lin Bai to do.
In the end, I felt that I missed Mo Xiu with a cheap mouth a little!
came back to his senses, but the house still had to be cleaned now, and just as he was about to tell the little maid to get water and sprinkle the cleaning, someone came outside the door. The little maid hurriedly put down the broom in her hand and hurriedly greeted her.
"Mr. Fu." The little maid bent her knees and said goodbye.
Manager Fu also came back with Lin Xiang, and he hadn't stepped into Miss Miss's yard for more than a month, but he didn't expect to look up and see that it had become such a dilapidated scene, so he couldn't help but ask out loud: "Second Miss, ...... this yard?" ”
Lin Zhuyu saw that the person who came was the Fu manager of the inner courtyard, and heard Nan Gu say that the Fu manager usually took care of Yu Zhuyuan a lot, and he was quite upright, but he suddenly felt that the matter in the courtyard in front of him was an opportunity, after all, the Fu manager was half an eye of his father, and it was a coincidence that he wanted to come to this opportunity.
Putting down the rag in his hand, Lin Yuyu greeted him out of the courtyard, and respectfully called out to the chief fu, and then replied to the words of the chief fu.
"Mr. Lao asked, this courtyard has not been crowded for more than a month, and he has never thought about Tianhuo." As he spoke, he brushed the broken hair on his forehead with his dirty little hands.
Lin Zhuyu didn't mention his guess, and only attributed the fire to the natural weather. After all, Mr. Fu is also an old man who has been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for more than ten years, how can he not have his own vision? If it is guided, it seems deliberate.
Sure enough, listening to what Miss said, Mr. Fu's eyes were clear, but he didn't feel that Miss was a little higher, the old man always said that the second miss had no mother's upbringing, and her temper was very ignorant, and now he looked at the second miss like this, but he swallowed his anger.
Looking at the young lady's dirty little hands, Mr. Fu felt a little sour in his heart, without his mother, the second lady was also bitter!
He said, "What about the Xia He girl? How can the second lady do it herself! If the girl is not enough, just mention it to the manager. ”
Lin Zhuyu was overjoyed, but she didn't expect that she just said a word, which not only made Manager Fu sympathetic, but also solved the matter with Lian Mai.
didn't excuse himself, only lightly blessed him, "Xia He, I haven't seen me since I came back, and the matter of the maid will trouble Mr. Fu!" I wonder what happened when Mr. Fu came over today? ”
"What the second lady said, it's all my business. Oh, today Xiangye asked me to come over and inform the second lady that there is a palace banquet in the palace for lunch today, and ask the second lady to prepare in advance. ”
"I'm also troublesome for the chief to come." As he spoke, he took out a string of ten coins from his cuffs and handed them to Chief Fu.
"Miss, what is this for?"
Although the second lady was quite polite to herself before, she never gave a reward. And this entire Prime Minister's Mansion, except for the weak and weak Aunt Qiu, who is sympathetic to the subordinates, occasionally takes a reward, and no one else has ever given it, so it is a little surprising to see the second lady take the reward.
"In the future, there will be more places to annoy the director of labor and welfare, and I hope that the director of labor and welfare will not dislike it."
The old slave retired first. Miss, I'll send two rough envoys over in a moment. Seeing that the young lady said this, Manager Fu was embarrassed to accept it, and he valued Lin Zhiyu a little more in his heart.
"Mr. Fu walks slowly!" Lin Zhuyu also sent the little maid to the outside of the hospital, and the number of rites was a foot.
Lin Zhuyu sat on the stool, saw the little maid sending the guest back, and hurriedly picked up the broom, but he didn't make a wish, and suddenly felt that this little maid was a good one. After all, I brought it from Jiangnan, and I am not familiar with the place in the capital, and the second aunt can't intervene, and it is estimated that the little maid sent by the Fu manager is probably the second aunt's eyeliner, and it is not useful. Therefore, the idea of taking this little girl for his own use was born.
Therefore, he said: "You should also rest, and you will have your own rough mother-in-law come over in a while!" ”
Since this little girl was tempered by Lin Zhuyu in Jiangnan, she is extremely obedient, and she doesn't talk much every day, just doing her own thing. I thought that after the young lady knew that she was the master's person, she would not treat her well. At this time, when I heard the young lady say this to herself, I was very grateful.
He still didn't dare to be careless on his face, and answered yes in a low voice, and then turned to stand behind Lin Zhiyu to serve.
Lin Zhiyu's hands are idle, and his mind is not idle.
I don't know what turmoil will there be at today's palace banquet? If this rumor in the capital is mentioned, how should I deal with it?
I didn't feel that my thoughts were drifting away, and when I came back to my senses, I felt that I had thought too much, after all, the palace banquet was to catch the wind and wash the dust for the saint! There are so many princes and princesses in the palace, all of whom have their own topics, and they will not fall on themselves if they think about this topic.
Then it's the palace banquet, Lin Zhiyu thinks about the problem of dressing, this is definitely a good opportunity to build momentum for his shop that hasn't opened yet!
Suddenly thinking of the box of fat powder that Lin Bai brought back to him, this palace banquet is not good for him to be in the limelight, after all, the gun is the first bird. But there's always someone who wants to shine, doesn't they?
"You go and take out the box of fat powder that Jiang Nan brought back from the box."
"Yes."
After a while, the little maid took out the fat powder and held it in her hand.
"Let's go, go see Sister Shu!" Although his father is not allowed to go out by himself, it should not be counted to visit his sister, Lin Zhiyu naturally thinks so, and his father must not be able to say anything.
