Chapter 113: The Stranger (1st Update)

The eldest aunt Nie came back, and Chen brought Linglong to Chaoyun Pavilion to greet Nie.

As soon as Linglong walked into Chaoyun Pavilion, he saw Nie Lin and Chaoyun Pavilion's housekeeper Zheng Mama talking in the corridor, and saw Chen and Linglong walking over, and the two saluted respectfully.

Nie Shi was very happy to see Linglong coming, and at this time, the little guy around Jin Yu came over, saying that the eldest master left the third master and several masters to eat in the water pavilion, saying that he wanted to have a good drink, but he came.

Nie Shi smiled and said: "They eat wine, let's eat too, I have the plum wine just sent to me from Zhuangzi here." ”

Linglong asked, "Can I still eat wine if I don't have time?" ”

Chen smiled and said to her: "This is our own brew in Zhuangzi, which is different from the plum wine outside, although it is called wine, but the wine has a meager aroma, sweet and sour, and it is delicious and stomach-healthy." ”

Nie's let people put the dinner in the warm pavilion, the warm pavilion is inlaid with glass windows, there are light colors on the wall, and there are seven or eight pots of chrysanthemums of famous species in the pavilion, all of which are fat flowers with big bowls, fragrant bursts, which makes people feel refreshed for a while.

Through the open window, Linglong saw that Nie Lin was still standing under the corridor, but she didn't see Mama Zheng, Linglong's heart moved, and she slipped out while Chen was talking to Nie about a few expenses in the house.

Nie Lin was really waiting for her, and when he saw her coming over, he hurriedly saluted: "I thought I would have to wait for the fifth lady to have dinner before I can talk to you." ”

Two days ago, Nie Lin sent the maid Baojuan to Xifu and handed her the two lists, which were slightly modified for Baojuan to bring back.

Linglong asked her how the matter was done, and Nie Lin said: "It's all done according to the purchase you changed later, I originally wanted my daughter-in-law to go to Xifu tomorrow by herself, settle this matter with you, and let those shops go to deliver and arrange." It just so happened that the eldest lady asked me to come back with me today, but I didn't think you were also in Dongfu. ”

Linglong thought to herself, how could there be such a coincidence, it was obvious that the eldest aunt knew that she was coming when she heard the letter from the house, and deliberately brought Nie Lin back with her.

She said a few more words and said to Nie Lin's family: "I'll let Xingyu pass tomorrow." You just have to let the shops deliver the goods. ”

Shi Er also said that except for the last one to enter the courtyard and not let people in, the first four entrances will be tossed by her, and this matter will be done quickly. lest the fellow think that she embezzled the money.

Of course, the money must be earned, but things must also be done beautifully.

When she returned to the warm pavilion, Nie Lin asked her to sit beside her and asked lightly, "Is it okay?" ”

Linglong knew that she was asking about Nie Lin's family, so she got up and thanked her: "My niece thanked my aunt for lending me such a safe person." ”

Nie pulled her to sit down. said to Chen: "Sister Lang is not here, the house is cold, and the five girls are lively again." “

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Linlang is about to get married, and Linglong knows that the eldest aunt is reluctant to give up her youngest daughter.

At this moment, more than a dozen maids and nurses brought in two men, two girls and four children. One boy was seven or eight years old, the other boy and two girls were three or four years old.

Linglong knew that one of the two children, a boy and a girl, was the children of the Chen family, and the seven or eight-year-old boy was the grandson of the Jin family, Jin Guangsheng, whose name was Lan Geer. The girl is his sister Sister Hui. They are often taken to Chunhui Hall by the nurse to ask for peace, and Linglong has seen it a few times.

She asked Nie: "Those two little ones are the dragon and phoenix fetuses of the eldest sister's family." ”

Nie Shi smiled: "It's them, they have been living with me for the past few days, and they will go back tomorrow for the holidays." ”

The eldest sister in Linglong's mouth is Jin Xuanji, the eldest aunt of the Jin family, and her husband Dong Lian is the nephew of Linjiang Hou.

Jin Xuanji married into the Dong family, and gave birth to this pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses the following year, and is now four years old.

Nie asked the nurse to bring the two children over to call someone. The boy's name is Dong Nan, and the girl's name is Dong Tan, both of them are Yuxue cute, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes.

Linglong looks like it. took off the purse on his body and gave it to Dong Tan, but there was nothing for Dong Nan, so he asked Nie: "I didn't bring a meeting gift." ”

Nie laughed and said to Chen: "Look at how old a person is, and he has also learned how big an adult is to give a greeting gift to the juniors, and you don't know that they are here." I don't blame you for not bringing anything. He's learning to write, so bring him a few sticks of sheep's hair next time. ”

Dong Tan took the purse to show his cousin and cousin, and found out that there were green plums and dried longan in it, Brother Lan and Sister Hui ran over and said, "We also have to pack the purse for snacks, and when the fifth aunt comes back, bring it to us." ”

Chen scolded with a smile: "How can you ask for things with your elders, and Brother Lan, what do you boys want to do?" ”

Linglong has already agreed: "Okay, then don't give Lan Ge'er snacks, put something else." ”

The wine and food have been served, everyone sat down, and the plum wine brewed in the village really only had a sour and sweet taste but no wine aroma, and Linglong drank three glasses. Seeing that she liked it, Nie asked Mama Zheng to bring her a jar back.

"Except for me and your sister-in-law, none of them like this wine, Sister Lang is still sour, but you have the right taste with our mother."

Seeing her say this, Linglong no longer shirked, they finished dinner, and Jin Yu had not yet dispersed.

Nie asked people to invite, and after a while, Jin Ziyan, Jin Zihuan and Jin Zifeng came over together.

"I didn't drink too much, and my father went to chant again."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and they all knew that the eldest master Jin Yu only recited scriptures but never taboo meat, and drank a lot of wine, but they had never seen such a person cultivating Buddhism.

Linglong and Jin Zifeng returned to Xifu before the curfew, and as soon as they went back, they heard that Jiao's mother-in-law had sent a palace flower to wear during the festival.

A few maids, you wear them for me, I will wear them for you, and the trouble will not stop. Huancui said that it would be good if Liuzhu and Qinfei were also there, four bowls of water and four big red flowers.

Xingyu gave her a look and didn't let her say it again, worried that Linglong would be sad if she missed Feng, and she had a holiday, but she could only let Feng be lonely in Zhuangzi.

Linglong didn't care, and gave a few of them a silver tael of silver each as a holiday reward, and asked Xingyu to collect the share of Agen's sister-in-law, Liuzhu, and Qinfei for them first, and then give it when she saw them.

A few maids were overjoyed, as if they had celebrated the festival in advance.

Walking outside, Chunfen asked Huancui: "It is said that our fifth miss is not favored in the house, and she takes the same incense powder money as the third and seventh misses, and there is no mother's relatives to make up for it, but I see that the fifth miss is generous, and the rewards we get are not much compared to other houses." ”

Huancui glared at her and said, "If you have money to ask you questions, then next time I will tell Miss that I will waive your reward." ”

Harufen was so frightened that he quickly shut up and ran to the side.

Later, Huancui told Linglong about the matter: "The little girl has a lot of mouths and tongues, but it's nothing, I said I'm afraid someone borrowed her mouth to inquire." ”

Linglong didn't speak, but she wrote it down.

The next day, she asked Xingyu to take the key and go to Shi Er's house to supervise the work, and when it was almost curfew, Xingyu came back, obviously it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, but she was tired and sweaty.

Linglong smiled: "Are you going to move with you?" ”

Xingyu had a bitter face: "Originally, I was sitting in the porch drinking tea as a supervisor according to the instructions of the young lady, and I don't know where a guy came from, and asked me what I was doing, I said that I was instructed by my master to watch and move things here, but he said that he was the elder of my master, and he asked him to come to the matter of the supervisor, I didn't believe it, so he took out a purse and showed me, the purse was embroidered with a chicken pecking rice, but it was really Miss your object, I was so scared that I didn't dare to ask again, I could only listen to his orders." He instructed me to wipe the table for a while, to water the half-dead trees for a while, and for those who sent things, put them down and put them on and left, but he told me to scrub all the yards in the four places, and said that if I couldn't finish it today, I would continue to do it tomorrow. ”

Linglong's mouth opened wide when she heard this, and asked, "What does that person look like, is he expressionless?" ”

"Yes, it's not ugly, it's just that the face is weird, like it won't move. It turns out that you really know him, I'm still thinking on the way back, I shouldn't let him be blinded, but then I think about it, he may really be your elder, or why your belongings are with him? ”

Linglong, Xingyu actually felt that Shi Er's fake face was not ugly, but why did she think that every face of him was so ugly that it couldn't be uglier.

"He is not wrong, he is indeed my elder, and when you go again tomorrow, you will see him and say that this work cannot be done in vain, and I will ask him for an extra salary."

"Will he give it then?" Xingyu suffered in Shi Shuang today, and remembered that she would have to face that annoying person again tomorrow, so she was stunned.

Linglong smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into crescent moons: "He loves face the most, if you ask him, he will definitely give it to you." ”

Xingyu was suspicious, but when she came back the next day, she smiled and took out a silver ingot from her arms, which was ten taels.

"Miss, I asked him for wages as you said, and he gave this, and I didn't dare to take it, but he threw it on the stone table and went into the backyard, and I was afraid that the silver would be thrown there and lost, so I took it. Why don't you keep it for me? ”

Linglong laughed, Shi Er was really generous, she said: "You have worked hard for him for two days, I am reluctant to let you do these heavy things, this silver is what you should take, keep it for yourself, and marry someone in the future, this is your own money." ”

Hearing that Miss said that she wanted her to marry, other maids would blush, but Xingyu pouted: "I don't want to marry, I will always follow Miss, and when Miss marries into the Xu family in the future, if the Xu family dares to bully Miss, I will fight with them." ”

After speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly said: "Miss still cares, it was the maid who said the wrong thing, the Xu family is a scholar, how can they bully Miss, but if someone really bullies Miss, I will definitely not agree." ”

Linglong said in her heart, she and the Xu family's family affairs are actually not a word, and now her brother has other thoughts, and she doesn't know what will happen to this family business.
