Looking at Mu Yan's serious appearance, the old lady nodded with satisfaction again, and then told her very seriously, "When you arrive at the Hou Mansion, remember to always follow me, if you can speak, you will say less words, and if you can't speak, don't say a word, even if you talk to a girl, you must remember that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and there is another sentence, disaster comes from the mouth, remember to remember ......"

It was the first time for the old lady to teach Mu Yan the truth of dealing with people so seriously, Mu Yan nodded deeply, "Yes, Yan'er wrote it down." ”

The old lady was relieved, took a sip of tea, and then said lightly, "Follow me to the carriage later." ”

Mu Yan nodded obediently.

The old lady drank half a cup of tea, then took another pill to prevent food accumulation, and then got up.

Mu Yan took advantage of the situation to help the old lady.

On the birthday of the concubine, the weather was exceptionally good, a carriage had already been prepared outside the door, the old lady, the eldest lady and Mu Yan were in the same car, and the maid and the lady followed a bunch of them, and drove straight to the Pingyang Hou Mansion.

At this moment, there is a happy color in the Pingyang Hou Mansion, there are big longevity characters everywhere, people come and go in the courtyard, and the children in Huangkou are giggling and playing, and it is very lively.

Early in the morning, Lin began to dress up, with a scarlet placket embroidered with white magnolia, lotus petals embroidered with Du Ruo's shawl, his hair pulled up high, combed into a flowing cloud bun, with two red gold and jade tassels on it, a layer of sunflower powder on his face, and thin curved eyebrows, his demeanor was generous and young.

Today is a big day, and as the housewife of this house, she has to see everything herself before she can rest assured.

Lin sat on the chaise longue in the wing room. There were a bunch of pairs of cards scattered on the table, and the maid was in a hurry, and after getting the task, he took the pair of cards and went. Wait until you're done and then hand over the pair.

Everything is in an orderly manner, and there is not a trace of noise, which shows that the Lin family is well-governed on weekdays, and she takes care of everything in the Hou Mansion very well.

"Is the eldest lady all cleaned up?" There was a maid to hand over the cards, Lin asked.

The maid lowered her eyebrows respectfully and replied very smoothly, "The eldest lady's side has all been in order." I'm waiting for you to show me, Madame. ”

Lin Shi said "oh", and then said, "Later, the daughters of each family will come to congratulate their birthdays." You asked the eldest lady to prepare and meet with me. ”

The servant answered, and then bent his knees and withdrew.

The curtain moved. Mama Yao brought in a small mahogany round tea tray with a cup of ginseng tea. Smiling, "Madame has been busy all morning, so let's drink ginseng tea first to slow down." ”

Lin Shi took it, blew two sips and took a sip gently, and was about to talk to Mama Yao, who knew that as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw a bright and colorful girl dressed up.

The girl looks very ordinary, her skin is not very fair, and some are yellow. There is also a less noticeable freckle on both cheeks, and the nose is straight. It's just that the mouth is a little bigger.

Although the girl wears gold and silver, it is difficult to hide her ordinary qualifications, but fortunately, her eyes are very bright and very smart.

The girl giggled and shouted, "Auntie......"

After shouting, he suddenly jumped up and hugged Lin's neck, and said affectionately, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Yun'er misses you, and you don't come to see Yun'er......"

"Look, I knew you were going to be on your aunt." Another tall, noble woman walked in.

The woman has fair skin, beautiful appearance, and two shallow pear vortices with a smile, she is Lin's sister-in-law Zhao.

And the girl just now is the daughter of the Lin family who begged her brother to take her back, and she is now fourteen years old, with a single name and a cloud character.

Lin Yun hugged Lin's neck tightly and smiled delicately, "I like Aunt Monkey, Aunt treats me well, I like her." She cocked her nose and snorted softly at Zhao, but she was very cute and cute.

has been raised under her knees for fourteen years, and the Zhao family has regarded her as their own daughter.

In addition, the Zhao family later gave birth to three sons in a row, but only Lin Yun had one daughter, so he was even more precious.

Lin Shi was also happy to see Lin Yun coming, so he hurriedly put down the ginseng tea bowl in his hand, gently patted the back of Lin Yun's bulging hand, and said with a smile, "Of course my aunt misses you too, but there are too many things in the house these days, and my aunt didn't have time to see you. ”

"That's pretty much it." Lin Yun sat down with a smile.

Mama Yao hurriedly ordered someone to pour tea.

Lin Shi held Lin Yun's hand while beckoning Zhao to take a seat, and asked, "Is the eldest brother here?" ”

Zhao nodded, "Here, go to the front hall to talk to Hou Ye, I'll take Yun'er to see you first, she is noisy in the morning to come early, this child, I can't control it......"

Zhao looked at Lin Yun and smiled softly.

She had to get this child back then, otherwise her mother-in-law would feel guilty now......

Zhao thought in his heart, and said to Lin again, "My mother's legs and feet are getting worse and worse, she won't be able to come today, so ask me to tell you." ”

Last year, the old lady of the Lin family fell on a rainy day, broke her hip bone, and recuperated for a year, but in the end, she is an old man, the years are not forgiving, the bones are useless, and now she can barely move a few steps on crutches.

Lin sighed lowly, "I'll go to see her old man in a few days, these **** are all busy, you know, the concubine's birthday is sloppy." ”

Zhao naturally understood.

Moreover, the concubine went out of the palace for her birthday, which is still the first precedent in this dynasty, and the Hou Mansion must be busy.

She couldn't help but smile when she looked at the pair of cards covered with kang tables, "It's really difficult for you, so many things to prepare and send, if I were to handle it, I'm afraid I would have been exhausted and crying." ”

Lin knew that this was her sister-in-law's humble words.

The Zhao family is actually an extremely powerful person, and she has been in charge of the Lin Mansion for the past few years.

Especially after Mrs. Lin fell ill, all the chores fell on her shoulders, fortunately, she was strong, at first there were some tricky mother-in-law and little girls who refused to listen to her, deceived and deceived the subordinates, and then as soon as her iron wrist came out, these mother-in-law and little girls were obedient, and they were very obedient.

"I see a lot of guests coming outside." Zhao sighed deeply and said, "In the end, it's the birthday of the concubine, no one dares to slack off!" ”

Lin smiled.

Lin Yun listened to them, a little impatient, shook his calves and pouted, "Auntie, I didn't eat anything in the morning to come to see you earlier." ”

"Really?" Lin Shi's tone was soft, and he held Lin Yun's hand and asked, "Say, what do you want to eat?" I'll have someone do it for you. ”

Lin Yun raised his head and thought for a while, "I want to eat hazelnut cake, I want to eat water chestnut cake, and I want to eat bad pigeon eggs." (To be continued.) )
