Just three watches that day, Linglong came back, Xingyu thought she would come back in the morning, and when she came back, she hurriedly sent the two little girls Bai Lu and the spring equinox to boil hot water.

In the past, her father had promised to set up another small kitchen for her, but later because Song Xiuzhu made such a fuss, the matter was over. Now that Mrs. Jin is in the house again, Linglong is too lazy to theorize, so she tidies out Rong Yuan's small kitchen and uses it to boil water and cook some simple meals.

The housekeeper in charge of firewood and rice is named Liu Xiqing, who is the nephew of Liu's housekeeper, and likes to drink a few cups on weekdays. For example, these things are not easy to reconcile, although the West Mansion is not as rich as the East Mansion, but there are more than 200 people in each house and courtyard, firewood and charcoal, etc., more use and less use, there is no way to check, for Liu Xiqing is a gesture, not to mention, he has worked in the West Mansion for several years, and Miss's reward is the first time, Miss Seven is still young, and Miss Three has never given them a good face.

After taking a hot bath, Linglong asked Xingyu to bring the account book, since she got the 1,600 taels of silver, she had plenty of money, but she didn't save it, except for the few hundred taels handed over to Jin Zihuan, the remaining silver in her hand was enough for her to take care of the next person and find a small business to do.

Shi Er gave her three thousand taels, this money can't be taken for nothing, even if she wants to earn fifty percent in the middle, the remaining fifty percent will send Shi Er happy.

She still has to think of a way to go out of the house to do her own things generously in the future, but for a while, she really can't think of a way to get out from under the nose of Mrs. Jin.

Thinking like this, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and she fell asleep. The next morning, she woke up early, and then remembered that she didn't have to go to Mrs. Jin today, so she simply took Xingyu and Huancui to the house to walk around.

The summer morning is not hot, and the cool morning breeze blows the bamboo leaves. Linglong took a deep breath of fresh air, looking at the maid who was busy shuttling, she suddenly asked Xingyu: "Do you remember Fenniang?" ”

Xingyu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is it the eldest lady's dowry maid?" I seem to remember this person. ”

Linglong nodded: "When my mother was pregnant with my younger brother, I married her off, and I just remembered her, and I don't know where she got married." ”

Feng had dozens of maids and daughters-in-law by his side, and more than a dozen of them were married. After Feng's accident, Rong Yuan's people were all dealt with, and they didn't know where they went, so they were all sold. Some of these people should know some truth, but they can't find it now.

She was only three years old at the time, and she didn't remember a lot of things, but just now when she saw the busy people in the morning and the rustling bamboo leaves, she suddenly remembered such a person.

Fen Niang is the closest to the Feng family, she is a first-class maid, and even Rong Yuan's housekeeper has to scare her a little. Linglong has an impression of her, it is once she and a few little girls are playing in the bamboo forest, Aunt Li and the maid Moss Qing are breaking bamboo branches, accidentally knocked her down, happened to be seen by Fen Niang passing by, Fen Niang asked a few words, saw Aunt Li prevaricated, immediately gave Aunt Li a few ugly words, hugged Linglong and came back.

Although Aunt Li was not favored, she was annoyed by a maid who spoke ill of her, and when she went back, she cried and shouted that she wanted to hang herself, and was persuaded by Song Xiuzhu and several aunts.

That's it.

Feng Shi knew about this, and only deducted Fen Niang's silver for a month, but privately rewarded her with a red gold bracelet.

"The mother trusted Fen Niang very much, and for some reason let her marry when she was pregnant, and the mother's state was not very good at that time, and it stands to reason that the most powerful person should not be sent out at that time. Xingyu, you want to ask someone to inquire and see where Fen Niang is married. ”

Although there are many people in Xifu, no matter how many children are changed, they are still working in the Jin family, and they may still remember what happened to Fen Niang back then.

Moreover, Fen Niang left before her mother's accident, and it is not a big deal to tell her about her.

Xingyu looks happy, loves to talk and laugh on weekdays, and has a sweet mouth, although Miss Wu has no status in the house, she can also talk to many people, so it is far more effective for her to inquire secretly than Linglong calling the people in the house one by one for interrogation.

The three of them walked for a while, and when they arrived near the Wutong Courtyard, they saw that their father was coming out of the Wutong Courtyard, and they were accompanied by two scholars, the Servant and the Waiter.

Jin Min wore a Taoist robe worn at home, obviously spent the night here with Song Xiuzhu last night, and this time he was going back to Moliuzhai to change his official uniform and return to the yamen.

When he saw his father, Linglong bent down and saluted his father. Jin Min was stunned, obviously he didn't expect to meet Linglong, the expression on his face was a little stiff, and he pretended to be flat: "Why didn't you go out with your grandmother?" ”

Linglong looked at the tips of her shoes and said softly: "Grandmother has maids around her, so she doesn't need me." ”

Jin Min didn't expect Linglong to say this, his brows furrowed slightly, and his face was displeased: "Your mother can't do her duty, it was your grandmother who raised you with hard work, but it was just to let you do a little filial piety, but you compare yourself to a maid, where is this like what everyone says from the ladies, it's really ignorant." ”

Linglong raised her head and looked directly at her father: "It is a matter of duty to be filial to my grandmother, and my daughter has no complaints." It's just that there have been some rumors in the house recently, which overwhelmed the daughter, and asked her father to show it. ”

Jin Min was a little impatient, he found that talking to this daughter made him both annoyed and unable to vent every time, and he was really partial about Song Xiuzhu and Jin Yuan, and he didn't want to face Linglong.

"If you have to go to the yamen for your father, you don't have to pay attention to any rumors."

Linglong chuckled lightly and said in a relaxed tone: "I'm afraid that if these words reach the yamen, my father's troubles will be even more." ”

Jin Min was stunned for a moment, and the raised foot fell down stiffly, and asked, "What is the matter?" ”

Linglong boldly looked at his father, and saw that his clear face already had a few deep lines, and he was no longer the young man with clear eyebrows in his memory. In fact, my father is in his thirties, and it is not easy to think about it in the officialdom over the years, if it is not for the office, he should be a rich young master who only knows how to sing poetry and paint, and now he is only a five-grade small official, and the family business in Xifu wants to rely on the dividends of the ancestral industry to maintain.

"Some people say that Xifu wants to kiss and kiss, change the heroine, and then the daughter will be the daughter of the divorced woman, not to mention the Xu family, even ordinary big families can't avoid it. The daughter was at a loss and wanted to ask her father to show her. ”

Jin Min was stunned, since Mrs. Jin came, not only Jin Yuan was grounded, but all the people in Jin Yuan's house had done it, just to discipline the children, Liu Yuer also lived in the house, causing the Song family to be uneasy all day long, such an empathetic person, if she was wronged, she could only hide in her stomach, if she hadn't cried in her dreams, he wouldn't have known that she had been wronged.

No matter where Linglong heard these words, the four words kiss and kiss clearly refer to Liu Yuer.
