After breakfast that day, the eldest man of Dongfu, Jin Yu and his wife, came, and Linlang came together.

When they entered the mansion, they collided with Jin Min, who was about to go to the Yamen, and saw that the eldest brother had brought a whole cart of things to his mother, and there were even four-cheek perch and Taihu whitebait that could not be bought in the capital for money, Jin Min's heart moved slightly, but he still remained silent, and exchanged a few words with his brother and sister-in-law, and then went to the Yamen, Jin Yu and Nie took Linlang to Chunhui Hall to ask Mrs. Jin for peace.

Although Mrs. Jin and Nie Shi are not eye-to-eye, but for this capable daughter-in-law, except for a few words behind her back, she has no choice but to put on a newly sewn longevity pattern engraved silk gown and come out to meet them.

Jin Yu is forty and two, his face is pale, he is a little shorter than Jin Min, and his sauce-colored brocade robe looks empty when he wears it on his emaciated body.

Nie Shi wore a plain makeup gown with a plate collar and a pair of red gold and jasper hairpins on her head, she was tall, the same age as Jin Yu, and she looked like a brother and sister when she stood with him.

Mrs. Jin is a continuation, eight years younger than Mrs. Jin, and the previous wife has not been married for five years, and the two aunts have not been happy. Mrs. Jin gave birth to three sons after passing the door, and she gave birth to the fourth master Jin Chun to Mrs. Jin's aunt, Mrs. Jin has a stable position in the Jin family, and the only thing that makes her awkward is the eldest son Jin Yu.

Jin Yu has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and after he failed in the township test at the age of fifteen, he helped Mrs. Jin take care of his business. Mrs. Jin was already in poor health at that time, so she took the initiative to marry the daughter of the Nie family in Wuzhong.

Nie's maiden name is Nie Zhao'e. When his father, the Nie family, died, leaving only three shops, and the thirteen-year-old Nie took care of his mother while taking care of the shop, and opened a new shop two years later, and also ordered a family affair for his younger brother, who was one year younger.

Mrs. Jin thought that the eldest son was too cowardly, worried that he would not be able to inherit the family business, and took a fancy to Nie's ability, although Mrs. Jin looked down on Nie's small family and showed up, but Mrs. Jin still let Nie be the daughter-in-law of the Jin family.

A few years later, after Nie gave birth to the head of the long house for the Jin family, Sun Jin Ziyan, the old lady Jin handed over the entire Beizhili to their couple, for which the old lady Jin was not less angry, but angry, Jin Amnesty's two younger brothers have already made a name for themselves, and they will be promoted again in the future, since they have no intention of inheriting the family business, and they can't be handed over to Jin Chun's concubine, so although Mrs. Jin can't look down on Nie, she can only let Mrs. Jin make the decision, let Jin Yu and his wife move to the capital, Take care of the business here.

As soon as he said a few words, the Jin Lu family came in and said to Mrs. Jin: "All the things brought by the eldest master have been unloaded from the car, as well as the four-cheek fish and the Taihu Lake whitebait." ”

When Mrs. Jin heard this, she smiled and said to Jin Yu: "Where did you get it from, how good it is to keep it for yourself, and send it to my old woman." ”

Jin Yu said softly: "The four-cheek perch was specially sent to you by Zhao'e from Yangzhou, and those people also have a way, the fish is still fresh after such a long journey." Taihu Lake whitebait is a tribute, is the palace of the lady lady Niangniang, remember that you always like to eat whitebait steamed eggs, so I sent it to you. ”

Mrs. Jin was really useful when she heard this, there was a smile in her eyes, but her tone was still light: "It's all a family, how can it be like this." ”

She turned to Jin Lu's family again and said, "Let the kitchen make the four-cheek perch and Taihu whitebait, and then let someone go to the Jingsi Yamen to bring a message to the third master, and say that the eldest master has lunch with me, let him come back at noon, and go back to the yamen in the afternoon." ”

"It's still the eldest brother and sister-in-law who know the taste of the old lady best, although this capital is good everywhere, but these two things can't be found even if you have money", at this time, Jiao's family, who had not spoken, said to Nie with a smile, she looked at Linlang again, and said, "Sister Lang'er is preparing to get married, and she hasn't gone out for a few days, right?" “

Linlang was pulling Linglong to whisper, and said to Jiao Shi with a smile when she heard the words: "It's been a few days since I came out, and this time I miss my grandmother, my fourth aunt, and my fifth sister, so I asked my mother to bring me here." “

Nie looked at Linlang and Linglong who were sitting together, and then looked at Jin Yu who was standing on the side, and said: "The person who is about to get married is still the heart of a child's family, the adults are here to talk about homely things for a while, and Sister Lang took her two younger sisters to play outside." ”

Linlang agreed, and together with Linglong and Jin Yu, she saluted Mrs. Jin and Jin Yu, and then withdrew.

The three of them came out of Chunhui Hall, and saw a woman standing outside, this woman was in her thirties, combed a round bun, inserted two red gold inlaid jade gourd hairpins, and the hand was a red gold shrimp bracelet, clean and neat, Linglong had never seen it, I thought it was with the people of Dongfu, but she looked at her dress, but she didn't look like a mother-in-law in the house.

She saluted the three young ladies, and Linlang said to Linglong: "Her maiden name is Lin, and her husband-in-law Nie Chengen is my mother's companion son, and she is now helping my mother manage a few shops in the capital. ”

Linglong understood that this Nie Lin clan was the person Jin Zihuan helped her find. She originally just wanted Jin Zihuan to help her invest in a small business by the way, but she didn't expect Jin Zihuan to alarm her aunt with this, and give her such a considerate person around her.

She took Xingyu and Huancui, and Nie Lin back to her small courtyard.

As soon as he entered the door, Nie Lin saw all kinds of petals drying on the bamboo strips, so he smiled and said: "The second master praised the fifth miss for being a meticulous person, and the daughter-in-law looked at it, if this is really the case, are these petals dried by the fifth miss to make sachets?" ”

Linglong smiled and said to Nie Lin's: "You can also make tea to drink, or make incense packaging pillows." ”

She let the spring equinox move the embroidery pier, sat down with Nie Lin's under the corridor, and looked at Nie Lin's: "I don't often walk outside, and I can't show my face, so I asked my second brother to find a reliable person to help me, I'm afraid that I'm all here for some small profits, and it's difficult for you." ”

Nie Lin was a little surprised in her heart, she also thought that this fifth lady would interrogate her first when they met, after all, if she wanted to handle the silver, she should be interrogated. But she didn't expect that Miss Wu didn't ask, but was worried that the silver was small and the profits were thin, which made her embarrassed.

"Miss Five don't worry, the daughter-in-law helps the eldest lady take care of the shop, and she still has a piece of silver to take, Miss Five can trust me, and the daughter-in-law will try her best to do it, and earning more and less will not prevent the daughter-in-law from making her own livelihood, Miss Five just rest assured."

Linglong nodded, and asked Xingyu to take a sketch, which was the courtyard and interior layout of Shi Er's house that she had drawn from memory.

She said to Nie Lin's family: "This house needs to add some things and furniture, no need for golden walls, as long as it is comfortable to see, if you can't make up your mind, you can send a maid to ask me." ”

Nie Lin took the sketch, looked at it for a while, and frowned slightly: "The house painted on this picture of Miss Five, but the one on Junyi Street in the east of the city?" ”

Linglong asked, "Have you been?" ”

Nie Lin said: "This house was originally the property of the lord of Ruyang, the son of the lord of Ruyang County got into a lawsuit a few years ago, and the lord of Ruyang waited for the silver, and he couldn't pull his face to find the tooth line, so he privately asked people to come to the eldest wife, and later said that it would not be sold, and this matter was over, but this house, the daughter-in-law was seen for the eldest wife, and there were some impressions. ”

The mansion of the lord of Ruyang?

Linglong was stunned for a moment, could it be that the county lord of Ruyang was in a hurry to use the silver, and sold the house in her name to the thief without inquiring about the origin?

It's a big joke.
