When he returned to the teahouse that day, Linglong had to be complained about by Linlang, but fortunately, after Xu Tingshen gave the gift to Linglong, so as not to encounter a lot of embarrassment, he went back to Xiling first, Jin Zifeng couldn't let him go back alone, the two of them and three or four little guys didn't go to the teahouse, so they went back to Zhuangzi directly, and the two sisters of the Jin family were escorted back by Jin Shun's son with seven or eight people from Zhuangzi.

On the carriage, Linlang glanced at Linglong, and saw her fiddling with the small basket she bought in the market, and discussed with Xingyu about lining the basket, whether to use floral cloth or plain cloth, talking and laughing, without the slightest displeasure.

Jin Zifeng didn't worry about Xu Tingshen going back to Zhuangzi alone, and went back with him, but he left his two sisters to his subordinates, he came out today, and he didn't know if he felt sorry for his sister, or wanted to please Xu Tingshen.

Seeing that Linglong was talking and laughing, Linlang thought to herself, thanks to the fifth sister's cheerful temperament, if she was like an ordinary lady, she would be afraid that she would have to secretly wipe her tears.

Of course, she didn't know that Linglong had long been dead to Jin Zifeng, and when one person was dead to another, she wouldn't bother with what that person did.

What's more, Linglong earned the first pot of gold in this life today, and she is too late to be happy, and she will not be sad for people who don't care about her.

For her, what made her happiest was not the seven hundred taels of silver, but the most joyful thing about knowing Bai Yuanwai.

Since ancient times, thieves with great powers are not worried that they will not be able to steal things, but that the things they have worked so hard to steal cannot be exchanged for real money.

Of course, like Shi Er, there is no one in the world who has carried forward theft as a great hobby.

Linglong was also quite smacked for her knowing such a noble thief.

When I returned to Zhuangzi, as soon as I entered the Hanging Flower Gate, I saw Liuzhu tiptoeing and pulling his neck as if he was waiting for someone, and saw the two young ladies get off the carriage and walk over here, Liuzhu hurriedly ran to Linglong's side, and was reprimanded by Xingyu: "There are no rules, and I don't know how to say hello to Miss Fourth and Miss Five." ”

Liuzhu was so anxious that a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, and he hurriedly saluted the two young ladies.

Linglong asked, "What's wrong, but is there something wrong with my mother?" ”

Before leaving today, she instructed Liuzhu and Qinfei to look after the house, and also asked them to do needlework in the hand-copying porch outside their mother's house, so as not to do anything to their mother while the mother-in-law was away.

"The eldest lady is fine, it's someone from our house, saying that the old lady is from Jiangsu, and this time she is almost in the capital, Steward Liu will come over in person and take the third master back."

Linglong and Linlang glanced at each other, and both of them were taken aback. They are all the granddaughters of Mrs. Jin, although one is in the capital and the other is in the old house over the years, they also know the temper of Mrs. Jin, she and her eldest daughter-in-law Nie are not on the same page, and they have not been to the capital for ten years.

"When did the old lady come? Only people from the West Mansion came, but there were no people from the East Mansion? Linlang asked.

Liu Zhu nodded: "If you go back to the fourth lady, the people from the East Mansion have not come, but we have come from the West Mansion, and this time Steward Liu has already taken the third master back." It is said that counting the days, the old lady's carriage and horse will arrive in Beijing as soon as tomorrow. “

Xingyu became anxious when she heard this, and asked, "Didn't you ask Steward Liu to wait longer, and pick up the eldest lady and the fifth lady to go back together?" ”

Tears were about to flow out: "I begged, but Steward Liu said that Miss Wu would live in peace in the Zhuangzi, and he thought that I would go to the front yard to inquire and say that I would be fined money." I just heard from Sister-in-law Gui that someone came to the house, so I went to ask for news, and I really didn't deliberately inquire. ”

In their eyes, Steward Liu is similar to the king of heaven, and today he was reprimanded by Steward Liu, and Liuzhu was scared half to death, but he was still in a hurry to tell his own young lady about it.

Linglong asked Huancui to take one of the candy people she bought on the market and gave it to Liuzhu, and said with a smile: "You are all from my house, and the money will not be less than yours, don't worry." ”

It's thirteen or fourteen years old, but it's still a child's temper, and I got a sugar man, and I heard the lady say that she wouldn't deduct the money, so she broke into a laugh, and she didn't like the sugar man.

Linlang turned to Xiu'er and said, "You talk to Menzi, if someone from Dongfu comes, come and tell me immediately." ”

Although this Zhuangzi is not the private property of Dongfu, Jin Shun's daughter-in-law was originally the big maid around the Nie family, so this Zhuangzi is up and down, obedient to the people of Dongfu, and it is also justified to call people.

After walking for most of the day, Linglong missed her mother, so she wanted to go directly to her mother's house, but she saw Qinfei and her mother-in-law sitting under the porch, and when she asked, she realized that her mother had just fallen asleep.

Back in the west chamber where she lived, Xingyu served Linglong to change her clothes and muttered: "How many miles have you been driving, your clothes are soaked with sweat." ”

Linglong smiled: "There are not many roads, just run faster." ”

Two teenage girls brought hot water in, Xingyu and Huancui poured the hot water into the mahogany gold-painted bath bucket, sprinkled jasmine flowers into it, and waited until all the dry jasmine was soaked, then added cold water, tried the water temperature, not hot or cold, and the two waited for Linglong to bathe.

Xingyu rubbed Linglong's hair with fragrant pancreas, and muttered: "Why did you say that the old lady suddenly came to the capital, I haven't seen her old man come to the capital all these years." Also, Steward Liu only picks up the third master and doesn't pick you and the eldest wife, I don't think you're in a hurry. ”

Linglong wiped the foam that flowed between her eyebrows with a handkerchief, and said softly: "The old lady should have been invited by our Xifu, otherwise there would be no movement in the Dongfu, and according to the old lady's temperament, I am afraid that she will not go to the Dongfu in her lifetime." ”

Xingyu was stunned, isn't it, Dongfu is a long house, it stands to reason that the old lady comes to the capital, and they have to handle it, even if she goes to Zhuangzi to report and pick up people, it will be Dongfu who sends someone over, not just let Xifu take Jin Zifeng back.

"Then how can you say that the third master can say that the old lady came to the capital, how much the old lady hates it?"

Xingyu originally wanted to say that Mrs. Jin gritted her teeth because of Feng's killing of her grandson, when Mrs. Jin learned that Feng did not sink into the pond and soak the pig cage, nor did she send the official to cut off her head, she was so angry that she threw a whole set of water over the Azure official kiln porcelain, and in the cold winter, Mrs. Jin, who was her own grandmother, locked the four-year-old Linglong into the firewood room with ventilation on all sides, and locked it up all night!

Xingyu was afraid of arousing Linglong's sadness, so she swallowed the words after only half of speaking.

Linglong didn't care, she had been raised by Mrs. Jin since she was four years old, she could feel Mrs. Jin's hatred for the Feng family more than anyone else, in the old mansion, not only the fourth aunt made it difficult for her, but even the concubines could support her, the grandson. These people were able to do this blatantly, and they had the tacit approval of Mrs. Jin.

Mrs. Jin and her aunt Nie have never been at odds, and they hate Feng, so they haven't set foot in the capital for all these years. But at this time, her old man actually came, and it must have been someone who was sincere and moved the old lady to her heart.

The Nie family is in charge of the Jin family's business in Beizhili, although the old lady Jin is angry, but she can't intervene, if at this time, someone in the West Mansion wants to invite the old lady to come over and preside over the overall situation, with the temper of the old lady Jin, she will definitely think that this is the best opportunity for her to compete with the Nie family.
