Chapter 159 Rational Utilization
Ling Shandao was drunk, and Ling Chang asked him if he wanted to go to Qinxin Garden to sleep, but the latter staggered back to his fruit eaves residence.
Ling Chang could only go to Qinxinyuan to return to the Zou clan in person.
"The lord is really drunk and unconscious, the lady is pregnant with a child, the lord is sympathetic to the lady, lest you take care of him and tire yourself, so he fell asleep in the fruit eaves house, and asked the lady to rest early."
Zou was still happily waiting for Ling Shandao to come, but in the end it was still empty, she gritted her silver teeth but could only swallow it silently, and said generously: "Master drank a lot today, and he will definitely not be able to get up tomorrow with a headache, you ask people to prepare some sobering soup, let him drink it and then sleep." ”
"The little one knows, the little one has retired." Ling Chang respectfully stepped back.
After he left, Zou's face sank, lifted the red hijab, and stared at the red candle with a hideous gaze.
Cai Ju carefully took off the ornaments on her head, washed her with hot water, and changed into a red dress.
"Madame, eat more." Cai Ju handed a plate of pastries to Zou Shi.
Zou Shiqi's eyes were red, and he suddenly got up and walked to the table, overturning a table of rice bowls, wine jugs, and red candles to the ground.
Cai Ju was so frightened that her face was panicked, and she knelt down and persuaded: "Madame is angry, be careful of being angry, the more angry you are, the happier Lan Ge will be, only if Madame does not move like a mountain, she can't figure us out." ”
"But now- I don't have anything." Zou looked dull and stumbled back to the edge of the bed.
Picking chrysanthemums is also gloomy, and the scenery in the past is like yesterday's floating clouds. In the past, even if the Zou family was just a concubine, no one in the house respected her. Everything in the Ling Mansion is all up to the Zou family.
But now, even though the successor has a glamorous identity, there is nothing but this.
"Madame, the servant feels that you have been robbed of everything. It's all the fault of the eldest lady, if it weren't for her, why would we be in such a difficult situation now. Second Master's words-"
Zou stared intently at the beating red candle, and was silent for a long time before he said, "Send someone to tell the second brother what he said." I agreed. It's time for us to fight it out. This Ling Mansion, after all, there is her, there is no me, there is no her. ”
Cai Ju's heart was awe-inspiring, and he said in a low voice: "The servant obeys the order." ”
In the middle of the night, Cai Ju sneaked to Lingfu and came to the place where Zou Jian had made an appointment with her.
"Second Master-Second Master-"
Zou Jian walked out of the dark corner, his whole body shrouded in black.
"Has anyone found out?"
Cai Ju shook her head: "The maid is careful all the way, no one sees it." ”
Zou Jian breathed a sigh of relief, took out a bag of things from his arms and handed it to her: "This is something that I found with great difficulty." Be careful.
Remember, if it happens. We don't have any worries, but if we fail, there's no place to turn over. ”
Cai Ju's heart beat faster, and the hands holding things couldn't help but tremble.
She carefully put the things into her arms, said goodbye to Zou Jian, and then blended into the darkness.
*
Early the next morning, Cai Ju waited for Zou to get up, and then went to Guoyaju to see Ling Shandao.
Ling Shandao had already gotten up at this time, Xu had indeed drunk too much last night, he looked very haggard, and when he saw the Zou family, his expression was also very cold.
Zou couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, even if this man had become her husband, even if she could call her affectionately, everything was different, he used to smile at himself, but now, he couldn't even give up a cold eye.
Thinking about it in this way strengthened the determination in Zou's heart.
After Ling Shandao finished washing, the two went to Lan Yuan to invite the Lan family to serve tea.
Although the Lan family didn't like the Zou family or even the Zou family, for the sake of the son in the womb of the Zou family, they also greeted each other with a smile.
"Mother, please have tea." Zou took the teacup handed by Cai Ju and made a gesture to kneel.
"Excuse me, you have a special situation, and you are also kneeling." Lan stopped.
Zou then stood and served tea to Lan.
Lan took a sip with a smile, and handed Zou a seal red.
"Thank you, Mother." Zou put the red envelope into the tray handed by Cai Ju.
Ling Yi knew that the Zou family was going to serve tea with the Lan family today, so he arrived later than usual. By the time he arrived, Zou had already returned to Qinxin Garden.
"Grandmother looks very good today, is she taking any tonic medicine again?"
Lan laughed: "As long as your mouth is sweet, where do I have anything to eat, you will take it." ”
Ling Yi obediently snuggled at Lan's feet: "Those are all prescriptions prescribed by Dr. Lu, and the medicine is mild and has no side effects." ”
Speaking of Dr. Lu, Lan was puzzled: "I heard that he went back to his hometown to marry?" Why didn't you bring your family here? ”
Ling Yi smiled: "Originally, I was going back to marry, but then something happened, my wife was gone, and now I am still alone."
Grandmother, don't worry about him, although we want to find him a suitable girl's home, but we have to decide whether we agree or not, if we don't like it in the end, he can't refuse, but it will make us troublesome. ”
"That's right." Lan took her hand and spoke to her, but his face showed a look of fatigue.
Cheng persuaded: "Old lady, why don't you go back and sleep again?" You woke up early today and slept late last night. ”
Ling Yi also saw Lan's tiredness, and couldn't help laughing: "Grandmother looks very good on her face, but she is also very tired, go and rest, my grandson won't bother." ”
As he spoke, he got up and helped Lan to walk to the back room.
Lan shook his head and laughed, "You still said that I have a good complexion, but I will be tired after a while, and I have to go back and sleep for a while." ”
Ling Yi's heart moved, and after helping Lan to lie down, she tucked the quilt for her, "Why don't you start tomorrow, and your grandson will also come to make a soothing medicinal soup for her grandmother every afternoon?" ”
In the past, Ling Yi would make stomach tea for the Lan family every morning, and the Lan family drank it very well, so he nodded and agreed: "Then I have to trouble you." ”
"Grandson should, grandmother rest first, I'll come to see you in the afternoon." As he spoke, he was blessed and retired.
After walking out of the room, Zhi Yu saw that Ling Yi's eyes were confused. He asked, "Is the eldest lady worried about something?" ”
Ling Yi thought for a moment, smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm suspicious." ”
Ori Yu couldn't help laughing: "The eldest lady who is also a loss is so suspicious." So many things were avoided. ”
When the two returned to the Lan Pavilion, they didn't see the weaving fan, and the Hu family took out all of Ling Yi's clothes and spread them on the bed, looking at them and shaking their heads.
"What is Mother Hu doing? What about the weaving fan? ”
Hu Shi hurriedly saluted Ling Yi and explained: "It will be the fourteenth birthday of the eldest lady in just over a month, and the slave maid has nothing to do today, so she wants to make a few sets of clothes for the eldest lady."
These are outdated. It's still small to wear, so it's better to give it away. The slave had already asked the tailor to come over in the afternoon.
The weaving fan has gone to the warehouse, and many old things cannot be used. They were all cleaned up, and whatever was left to use was taken out. ”
Ori Yu said happily: "Yes, the eldest lady will be fourteen soon." Another year older. ”
"It's another year less." Ling Yi's face was pale. Let Hu put away his clothes first.
Hu Shi thought she was worried about her age, and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is still young, where is this said, wouldn't the slave and maid cry to death." Thirty or forty people, you see that the slaves and maids are not also alive and well. ”
Ling Yi smiled, idle, and simply went to the warehouse to see what he had.
In the afternoon. The tailor arrived and measured Ling Yi's size. I asked her about the style and color she liked, and finally promised that the finished product would be produced within a month.
Ling Yi didn't care about these things, Hu Shi was tired of it, and repeatedly explained that the latest style must be the same, and the patterns could not be outdated, in short, he sent the tailor to the back door before stopping.
Just as he was about to return, he heard a commotion outside the door.
Hu Shi turned around curiously and saw three crop men outside the door.
"Little brother, just let us in, we're just here to thank you, you see, these are all planted by ourselves and picked from the ground."
The doorman didn't make it too difficult, but just said that the Ling Mansion was not accessible to everyone, and asked the three of them to leave quickly.
"Little brother, we are not ungrateful, since we have received the favor of Miss Ling, if we don't reciprocate, we will not be at ease in our hearts, we don't have money, and we only have these things to eat, just a piece of heart, and ask the little brother to help inform us."
When Hu heard that they were going to see Ling Yi, he couldn't help but step forward and ask, "What kindness do you have to repay?" ”
The three of them hurriedly knelt down and said: "The land we use now is given by the eldest lady, and we don't charge any rent, and we have found good crops to teach experience, we are grateful, and the melons and fruits that are easy to grow bear fruit bear fruit, so I want to give the eldest lady a taste first." ”
Hu Shi knew that Ling Yi had also given land to the victims of Shi Nan, and after thinking about it, he said, "You can come in with me." ”
With her as an introduction, the guards will naturally not stop them anymore.
The three of them followed Hu to the outer door of the backyard, and asked the three of them to wait first, while they went in to report.
Ling Yi heard that someone had come to give her gifts, and she didn't want to refuse their kindness, so she changed her clothes and went to the back door living room to see her.
When the three of them saw Ling Yi, they immediately knelt down excitedly: "The little ones kowtow to the eldest lady." ”
The chicken and duck in his hand were still fluttering, which made Ling Yi laugh.
Hu Shi was busy asking people to take down the things first.
"Get up, I didn't do anything, you worked hard, and the harvest is all your own." Ling Yi said with a smile.
Only then did the three of them stand up and reply, and one of them sighed: "The eldest lady doesn't know, there are many refugees who came this time, everyone came hungry, where is the money on them to go back, if it weren't for the generous help of the eldest lady, how could we people live until now."
Not to mention anything else, even now, there are still many people who can't find a job to do, everyone's life is just beginning, we just have the heart to help, but we are not enough. ”
Ling Yi asked, "How many people in Beijing still have no livelihood?" ”
"I don't know how small it is, but it's estimated that there should be about 100 people."
Ling Yi nodded slightly, lost in thought.
Hu Shi said in a timely manner: "The eldest lady also feels your heart, go back and live a good life, and it is not in vain that the eldest lady helps you." ”
The three of them kowtowed again and respectfully stepped back.
"Miss, are you thinking of something?" Hu Shi understood Ling Yi and asked.
Ling Yi smiled leisurely: "With so much labor, it's not a pity to lose it." (To be continued......)
