Lin Youliang's words fell, and Lin Yuan took the opportunity to reply, "Aren't you thin?" I'm okay, our wife is thinner, God is pitiful, my wife is now eating two servings alone, and she is getting thinner and thinner day by day, and her belly is not growing, I am really anxious. ”

Lin Youliang raised his eyebrows, he was very surprised that Lin Yuan replied to him like this.

Lin Yuan laughed twice, "Grandfather, in fact, I came today to persuade you to let the old lady move back to Ci'an Courtyard for the sake of the food in our courtyard." If the old lady doesn't come out to take charge of the house again, the people at this head will be lawless. ”

Lin Youliang was a little depressed after hearing this, it seems that Lin Yuan did not persuade him because he cared about the old lady.

However, he was both reproachful and helpless for Lin Yuan's careful thinking, because no matter what, the old lady had gone too far before, and it was understandable that Lin Yuan couldn't sincerely care about the other party.

Lin Youliang paused and replied, "What is this called, isn't it your third aunt's home now?" If there's anything, you can just go to her. Your grandmother is still sick, how can she take care of the house? Besides, those subordinates ate the bear's heart and leopard gall? How dare you withhold your food? ”

Lin Yuan frowned and said, "I know that you don't believe it, I told my father that he didn't believe it either, and then he paid attention to the meals in our courtyard for a few days, and he believed it, but he said that the matter of this inner house asked me to find the third aunt to say, but although the third aunt agreed to help me manage the people in the big kitchen, she couldn't control it."

She shook Lin Youliang's neck and said coquettishly, "Grandfather, I'm not out of line, do I want to come and beg the old lady to come out of the mountain?" ”

Lin Youliang was shaken so hard that his heart softened, and he sneered, "Don't be a good person, I don't know you yet, why are you begging the old lady, you came to me to help you out." Say, what the hell is going on? ”

Lin Yuan smiled "hehe" again, and after praising "grandfather is wise" twice, he said the matter one by one.

Lin Youliang naturally didn't fully believe it after hearing this, because Lin Yuan didn't break the matter that the housekeeper purchased in the big kitchen was Mama Li's youngest son.

"Grandfather, why don't you go to the small kitchen in our courtyard and take a look, the mother-in-law in charge is very capable, and has made a list of the ingredients sent from the big kitchen every day." Lin Yuan proposed.

Lin Youliang shook his head, "This is the practice of the house, but ...... Forget it, let's take a look. ”

Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with a sly light, she knew that what Lin Youliang was talking about was nothing, wasn't she afraid that the list would not be counted? The practice in the house is to make a list when the goods are handed over, but it is not like the outer courtyard to sign, after all, there are a few literate maids, and not everyone can write their own names.

And the list without a signature is very simple if you want to pay the bill.

Fortunately, she is smart and doesn't know how to sign it, just press your handprint.

Lin Yuan was secretly proud all the way, and soon arrived at the small kitchen.

Mrs. Cao had already prepared everything and waited, and when she saw Lin Youliang coming over in person, she couldn't hide her surprise.

It is said that the gentleman is far away from the kitchen, and the old lady came over in person, which shows that he really loves our fourth lady.

Cao Pozi sighed secretly and respectfully handed over a stack of lists.

It is said to be a stack, but in fact, there are only a few strokes per page.

Lin Youliang picked them up and looked at them one by one, and when he saw the bright red handprints below, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Yuanyuan, is this what you call it?" Lin Youliang asked, pointing to his handprint.

Lin Yuan wrinkled his nose and smiled slyly, "Aren't I afraid that they will pay their debts?" ”

Lin Youliang couldn't cry or laugh, "Your little cleverness has been used on these, go back and learn poetry, calligraphy and painting, I heard your father say, you can't even learn chess, and you can't practice words well, let alone poetry." ”

Lin Yuan's head was big for a while, and she asked her to learn those who were really boring, it was better to learn the piano, and people who played some good sounds were in a good mood, right? She smiled flatteringly, "Grandfather, I will definitely study hard in the future." Look, isn't this settled now? lest I not have enough to eat at lunch, and you have to say that I am thin. ”

Lin Youliang straightened his face and raised the list in his hand, "Take this list and go to find your third aunt." ”

Lin Yuan nodded with a smile, and said unheartedly, "The third aunt has this evidence, and she has the confidence to trachea." ”

The two of them went all the way to the third room, it was almost time to eat, but the Zhu family was not there, and when they asked the next person, they went to the big kitchen.

Lin Yuan faintly felt that something was wrong in her heart, but she couldn't think of anything for a while, so she went to the big kitchen with Lin Youliang.

As soon as I arrived at the big kitchen, I heard Zhu's voice, "Where are the people?" Still haven't found it yet? ”

Lin Yuan frowned, puzzled, and only let Xianglan go in and ask the Zhu family to come out.

After a while, Zhu walked out with a smile, seeing Lin Youliang's surprised expression, but Lin Yuan saw that Zhu was not surprised at all, Zhu must have gotten the news and deliberately came to the big kitchen to make a scene.

"Daddy, why are you here?" Zhu asked.

Lin Youliang raised his hand and made the list, "Third daughter-in-law, look, this is the ingredient sent to Tianjiao Courtyard every day." ”

Zhu took it and took a closer look, but his face suddenly turned pale.

On the one hand, Lin Yuan was secretly refreshed in his heart, who called the Zhu family because he was afraid that the old lady didn't care about the big kitchen, and now that the incident happened, don't think about running away. On the one hand, she was extremely puzzled, Zhu's pale face was not fake at all, could it be that the Zhu family really didn't know that the daily ingredients in their Tianjiao Courtyard were so simple?

"How so?" Zhu muttered very softly.

Lin Yuan kept staring at the Zhu family, hearing it clearly, and her heart was even more incomprehensible.

"Third daughter-in-law, can you admit this?" Lin Youliang asked unequivocally.

Zhu Shi didn't know when she was already sweating profusely, she said anxiously, "Father-in-law, this list is fake, right......" Speaking of the back, her tone weakened, obviously the bright red handprint was extremely dazzling.

Lin Youliang raised his eyebrows and said, "Can you still fake your handprints?" ”

Zhu said anxiously, "No, no, my daughter-in-law didn't mean that." As she spoke, she turned her head and said something to the maid beside her, and then the maid hurriedly took out a stack of papers, and Zhu hurriedly grabbed it and handed it to Lin Youliang, "Father, look, this is given to me by Mrs. Wang, who went to Tianjiao Courtyard to deliver ingredients, and said that it was a list of ingredients to be sent every day." ”

Lin Yuan's eyelids jumped, no wonder the Zhu family had no fear, the Zhu family took the list of ingredients in their second room every day, and they could arrange the dishes in the third room according to the dishes in their second room, and when it came to accountability, the Zhu family was not wrong at all, and they could use the big kitchen to prevaricate their Tianjiao Courtyard.

In this way, it seems that she Lin Yuan is picky and unreasonable.

However, Zhu looked at the list of handprints before, and his reaction was really wrong.

Lin Yuan thought about it secretly, but Lin Youliang was noncommittal, took another list, and put it down after a cursory look.

Lin Yuan stood on tiptoe and glanced at it, she didn't need to look closely, she knew that it was completely different from the one in her hand, not to mention the content, that is, each list was densely written, which was very different from hers.
