Chapter 87 Who said that the rules in the capital are strict
As soon as Lin Mei saw Mrs. Lin, she immediately greeted her, took Mrs. Lin's hand and asked questions.
Mrs. Lin was about to go out to buy some side dishes, but when she saw her daughter coming back, she was shocked, pinched Lin Mei's hands tightly, and her tail voice trembled, "You, you, you...... You've been suspended?! ”
The corners of Lin Mei's mouth twitched slightly, and she finally knew where she learned her ability to not speak and only annoy people.
"Mother, I'm not married yet!"
"Master Shu has sent so many dowry gifts, you actually want to regret your marriage?! Do you know that all I have been eating and wearing these days is the money given by my future son-in-law? If you want to repent of your marriage, will we be able to afford it then?! When Mrs. Lin said that later, she was even more like a complaint, but she didn't wipe her tears.
"Mother...... What are you talking about? Lin Mei looked at Mrs. Lin with a smile, and glanced around, fortunately, there was only one family around, otherwise if others saw it, they might not be able to gossip!
Mrs. Lin just held Lin Mei's hands, looked directly at her with her eyes, and said in a serious tone, "Daughter, tell me, were you driven back by my future son-in-law?" ”
Lin Mei sighed softly, and directly pushed Mrs. Lin into the back room, and took the time to explain on the way, "Shu Wangjin went to the coast to do business, and I stayed in the capital without incident, so I came back with Yufei, besides, the capital is not fun at all, the style is magnificent, but the rules are much more!" ”
Mrs. Lin heard the next few words, and she didn't know what she remembered. Her eyes wandered into the distance, and she didn't react until Lin Mei called her a few times, but her face became gloomy. I didn't talk to Lin Mei anymore, and I said a few words absentmindedly and went out again.
Lin Mei looked at the distant figure of Mrs. Lin in puzzlement, a little strange, the two of them have been dependent on each other for more than ten years, and they have never seen Mrs. Lin so solemn, but Lin Mei has always been broad-hearted, so she didn't bother for long before putting this matter aside. only ate the meal that Liu Yufei brought her wholeheartedly.
Let's talk about the capital again, since Lin Mei left, Mrs. Shu has become more and more bored. Originally, there was a daughter-in-law who could talk and tease and rectify, but now there were only two people left, she and Master Shu, and the huge Shu Mansion looked at it at a glance, and there was really nothing to entertain.
"Ma'am. Lao Liang is here. Can't you see him? Mama An took a cup of hot tea and handed it to Mrs. Shu, who was reading in the main room, looked at the old servant waiting outside the house, and whispered.
"Old Liang? What did he come to do? Mrs. Shu put down the book she was holding in her hand and frowned slightly.
This old Liang is the Uncle Liang that Lin Mei met in the warehouse in the west of the city before, and he is also Shu Wangjin's loyal subordinate, and he has never dealt with Mrs. Shu, so Mrs. Shu has this question.
"It's the gang of bandits that Miss Lin caught in the warehouse last time, and it's been three or four days. Lao Liang came to ask how to deal with the gang of bandits...... "Mama An whispered in Mrs. Shu's ear about what she had heard, and at the end she didn't forget to take the book that Mrs. Shu put on the table and put it aside. I'm afraid that the tea will be spilled on it at that time.
"What did Meier say at the time?" Mrs. Shu took a sip of the sweet flower tea, not caring much about what Mama An said.
This flower tea was brought back from Jiangnan last time Shu Wangjin was brought back, only one was unique, Shu Wangjin spent a lot of effort at that time and only bought seven or eight taels, which was quite precious, and it was the object of competition for all the noble ladies and concubines here in the capital, so Mrs. Shu was very grateful to Shu Wangjin's filial piety, and only felt that this son was not raised in vain.
Mama An couldn't help but be shocked when she heard Mrs. Shu's name for Lin Mei, and on the surface, she didn't dare to show any more emotions that displeased Mrs. Shu, but replied respectfully, "At that time, Miss Lin asked those bandits to tell the truth, and if the people behind the scenes were to tell the truth, she would let them go, and gave each person hundreds of taels of silver, so that they could subsidize their families to do some small business, and stop doing such stealing." ”
"She's kind......" Mrs. Shu took a sip of flower tea, with a slight smile on her face, although the words were reproach, but looking at this look, it didn't look like reproach at all.
"Ma'am, then?" Mama An secretly looked at Mrs. Shu's expression, and secretly speculated in her heart.
"If those bandits didn't tell the truth, how could they be so cheap?" When Mrs. Shu said this, the smile on her face began to gradually become cold, and her words were also full of coldness.
Mama An groaned and guessed, "Madame means to keep them imprisoned in the warehouse in the west of the city?" ”
"That's not going to work." Mrs. Shu took another sip of tea, moistened her throat, narrowed her eyes and whispered, "How can it be so useless?" After so many days, I can't pry their mouths open, Lao Liang is really getting more and more useless! ”
Mrs. Shu said, looked up at the figure waiting outside the door, and snorted coldly, "You go and tell him that I will go to the warehouse in the west of the city in the afternoon." ”
"Madam, what are you ......" Mama An was shocked, Mrs. Shu hadn't made a move for many years, and now I'm afraid that there will be another bloody storm, it's really a sin......
"Mama An, don't worry, I naturally won't use the cruel punishments of the past, Yu Jin is about to give birth to a child, and Wang Jin is going to marry a wife, so let's take it as a blessing for them......" Mrs. Shu said as she spoke, remembering Shu Wenjin's intelligence and dexterity when she was still in the past, and sighed secretly in her heart, if she really did too much of her own sin, otherwise how could God take Wang Jin's life so early?
Mama An also sighed secretly when she heard this, Mrs. Shu was ruthless and resolute in her work, and she didn't know how many families she had offended in the capital, if it wasn't for the favor of the emperor and the queen mother, I don't know what else would happen to the demon moth!
Not long after, Mama An went to Hualangkou to send Uncle Liang away, and just as she was about to enter the main house, she saw Master Shu coming here again, and his face was really not good-looking.
Mama An secretly said in her heart that it was bad, but she was afraid that the lady would let the master know about the token of the Shu family's housewife to Lin Mei, otherwise she would not make the master so angry! She glanced at it secretly, and hurriedly went back to the main house to tell Mrs. Shu.
"Qingtong is here?" Mrs. Shu said with a smile, looked at the silhouette of the hanging flowers outside the window, put down the tea in her hand and went to the door to greet Master Shu.
"Ouch, madam, the master is here to ask the master for sin!" Mama An is impatient, and her heart is only sudden, although Master Shu laughs at Mimi all day long with the appearance of Maitreya Buddha, but if he can make the Shu family's business bigger, where is he a benevolent person?
