Chapter 33: Wisteria Flowers

Jin Zihuan sent his two younger sisters to Zhuangzi, sat down for a while, and hurried back to the capital, tomorrow Mr. Su will test him, and now he will go back to Wenshu.

The masters of the Jin family rarely come here on weekdays, so there are not many people in Zhuangzi, but fortunately, Linlang and Linglong have brought a lot of people.

Zhuangzi's steward is called Jin Shun, who was a slave sold out by the Jin family from his grandfather's generation, and followed the master's surname, Jin Shun is an authentic son of the family. Jin Shun's daughter-in-law was the maid next to the Nie family when she was young, and although the husband and wife were both subordinates, their identities were first-class and decent.

Linglong grew up in an old mansion in Jiangsu since she was a child, and she knew that some of the people in the mansion were more bullish than the unambitious masters. Like Jin Shun and his wife, it's enough.

Jin Shun's daughter-in-law has asked people to clean up a clean yard for Feng and Linglong to live in, Linglong looked inside and out, the house is very clean, the bedding is new, there is a begonia in the yard, this is not the flowering period, the leaves are green.

There is a wisteria planted outside the corridor, although it is summer, the climate in the mountain is slightly cool, the wisteria that was originally blooming in the twilight spring is blooming brightly at the moment, the dark purple and light purple flower spikes hang on the branches, there are branches scattered, but it is a little lazy.

Jin Shun's daughter-in-law came in with two mothers-in-law, all three of whom were wearing smooth buns and neat and neat.

The two mothers-in-law put down the wicker basket in their hands and lifted the blue cloth outside, revealing the contents inside.

One basket contains roasted cakes, and the other contains four small plates of steamed cured meat, which are bacon, preserved fish, preserved sausage and preserved chicken.

Jin Shun's daughter-in-law said with a smile: "There is nothing delicious in the mountains, these cured meats are dried by the daughter-in-law herself, but this baked cake is baked in our Zhuangzi with a red clay hanging oven, and it is really impossible to eat it in Beijing." Give the third wife and the fifth lady a try. ”

This is the Zhuangzi shared by the Jin family's room, and the third wife in the mouth of Jin Shun's daughter-in-law is the eldest wife of the third room, Feng.

Linglong hurriedly asked Xingyu to accept it, and asked again: "Did the fourth sister also send it over there?" ”

Jin Shun's daughter-in-law said: "The fourth lady also has it, she has been here before, she doesn't like the taste of pepper and salt, the daughter-in-law baked bean paste for her, I don't know what the taste of the third wife and the fifth lady is, if she doesn't like pepper and salt, the daughter-in-law will also bake the bean paste next time." ”

Seeing that she spoke crisply and honestly, Linglong was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Mother and I are the same, I like any taste, and I am tired of my sister-in-law." ”

Saying that, she asked Xingyu to take out three handkerchiefs and reward them, and when she returned to the capital, in addition to taking care of her mother and practicing, she did needlework with Xingyu embroidery in her spare time, which came in handy at this time.

Jin Shun's daughter-in-law used to wait for the Nie family, and the other two mothers-in-law were also born in the family, so they saw a lot of good things. But I was really happy with this handkerchief: "This is really embroidered by Miss Five, and this embroidery is really good." ”

Although they are far away in Zhuangzi, the people who come and go are the subordinates of the Jin family, and they also know that the fifth miss is not doing well at home, but now that they look at it, although the fifth miss is young, she is generous and decent, neither humble nor arrogant, and immediately glanced at Linglonggao.

After the three daughters-in-law left, Linglong and the substitute mother-in-law served Feng's and ate half a piece of baked cake and a few pieces of cured meat. Linglong suspected that her mother might have been here back then, but since she entered Zhuangzi, Feng Shi had not said a word, staring blankly at the shelves full of wisteria flowers.

In the evening, the breeze in the yard was gentle, and the fragrance of wisteria flowers spread with the wind.

These people were originally miscellaneous in the big kitchen, Song Xiuzhu wanted to scare Linglong with a knife, and she wouldn't look for those who had a bit of identity, these people had a low status in the big kitchen, and some of them were still in the fire room. Not to mention the difficulty, they didn't even have a chance to meet the young lady.

Linglong had already guessed that these were all found by Song Xiuzhu casually, and there would be no henchmen among them, and there would not even be anyone who could talk to the people around the second wife. That's why she dared to ask them to come and wait for her.

These people came over, all trembling, and suddenly they took them out of the house, and followed the fifth young lady, they didn't know what the fifth young lady had in mind.

Xingyu saw them standing stupidly, as Miss said, they were all small characters who had never seen the world in the house, and they all had injuries on their bodies, and a few of them were standing there with particularly serious injuries.

Xingyu said: "Why are you standing stupidly, don't you say hello to Miss Five, thank you Miss Five for bringing you out of the mansion and saving you from the pain of your flesh and skin." ”

These people woke up like a dream and quickly knelt down.

"Fifth Miss, the slave really didn't make it difficult for you, the slave and maid saw you for the first time yesterday."

"Please, Fifth Miss, you will spare the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid are wronged."

"The slave and maid are in the fire room, and I don't see outsiders all day long, so I really don't have the heart to trouble you."

There was a moment of chaos in the courtyard, and these people cried and shouted. Linglong coughed, and then they quieted down, and Linglong smiled: "I know it's none of your business, let you suffer." When I first entered the Zhuangzi, I asked, there is medicine for bruises in the Zhuangzi, and after a while, you can choose a light injury, follow Xingyu to get it, and go back to use it yourself. ”

Seeing them stunned one by one, Linglong said again: "I will take you out of the house, and you will be the people in my house in the future." I have a limited monthly schedule here, and what you get may be similar to the one you used to get in the big kitchen, but fortunately, I don't have any work here, so you just listen to Xingyu's arrangement. ”

"What are you still doing in a daze, thank you Miss Five." Xingyu shouted.

The organic spirit hurriedly kowtowed, and other people also kowtowed together, although the fifth lady has no status in the mansion, but it is better to wait for the young lady than to stay in the big kitchen to do chores, and this young lady took them out of the mansion and healed them, and the way she spoke was not as arrogant as the third lady, Si Swenwen, looked like a good-tempered person. It may be better to follow Miss Five than to be in a big kitchen.

Linglong counted them, and there were eight people in total, among whom were three rough envoys of some age, and five were young maids.

Linglong picked three fourteen or fifteen years old to help Xingyu do some meticulous work, and the two **-year-old little maids followed the rough mother-in-law to take care of the yard and wash and wash the house.

After settling these people, Xingyu asked Linglong: "Miss, do you want to pick two to take care of the eldest lady, the slave always thinks that the mother-in-law is unreliable." ”

Linglong shook her head: "Don't do it for the time being, it's better to let someone help when you can't get busy, the people who wait for your mother must be careful and patient, these people are all rough work, and they won't be able to do these things for a while." ”
