The room was silent for a moment, Qin sat down on the Taishi chair next to the Huanghuali small strip case, brushed the folds of his skirt, and the green man had already served tea, and Mother Han, who followed the Qin family, stood with Mother Wu standing together, and the red note and green stone were separated on both sides.

Xianglan and the two ladies of the Lin family both stood up, and Aya and Xiu saluted first, and then it was Xianglan's turn. As if he hadn't seen Xianglan, the Qin family said, "Sister Aya, Sister Xiu'er, sit down, the family, there are not so many courtesies." "Just pandan. Lin Dongya only felt relieved and glanced at Xianglan proudly.

Xianglan didn't feel embarrassed, there were many embarrassing situations in her life, and it was expected that the Qin family would ignore her. She stood with her head slightly bowed, staring at the delicate multicolored embroidery on the table circumference.

In the past few days, the second wife Wang has a cold, and the Qin family first asked Lin Dongya about Wang's condition, and Lin Dongya said: "It's better, I had a fever last night, and I took a dose of evacuation medicine today, but I still don't have energy, and I don't use it much in the morning." ”

Qin said: "If you have this disease, you should be hungry, if you lack any medicinal materials, just come over, and just come over and say what you want to eat." ”

Lin Dongyan responded.

Qin said: "I called you here today because of a happy event. Brother Xuan'er's relatives have already been discussed, it is the fourth daughter of Lord Tan's family, and your father repaired the book and invited Lord Xie of Dali Temple to protect the media. Brother Xuan'er is not in good health, and the wedding can only be held in the capital, and your four cousins are helping to manage it in the capital. It's just that the dowry has to be prepared at home, and I have discussed it with the old lady, and this matter will be handled by the two of you. ”

Lin Dongxiu's eyes lit up when she heard this, she was bound to open a warehouse to prepare for the dowry, she had long been thinking about the things in the warehouse, and now she is getting older, and getting married is a matter of these two years, if you can see what is in the warehouse, the good things are secretly attentive, and when the time comes, you can ask for it from the family. She can't compare to Lin Dongqi is a concubine, she marries a decent family, and the Qin family still has private money to add boxes to her daughter. Her biological mother, Aunt Bao, is an honest person, she doesn't have much to dow, if she marries low, she can have a dowry of 5,000 taels of silver at most. If there was no Lin Dongqi's scenery first, five thousand taels would be rich, but now Lin Dongqi has ten miles of red makeup, how can she swallow this breath! This is a great opportunity, and you can also explore the family background of the public school.

Qin looked at Lin Dongxiu and sighed slightly in his heart. Lin Dongya thought about something, she could see it clearly at a glance. She asked herself if she had never treated Lin Dongxiu lightly, and she still had the intention of carrying her, but although this girl can observe words and looks, she can stare at the immediate interests, and she loves to "fight in the nest", and the pattern of life is too small, so she gradually lightens her heart, and only behaves and talks, and points and feeds. If she gets married, in addition to the silver in the public, the big house will naturally add another box to her, Lin Changzheng has also explained, they are all daughters of the Lin family, it is not good to favor one over the other, if Lin Dongxiu marries high in the future, the dowry will naturally be the same as Lin Dongqi, if she marries low, the dowry cannot be too thin. The Qin family had already prepared the money for marrying the concubine, but now when they saw Lin Dongxiu's appearance, they were slightly chilled, and they felt that this girl was ridiculous and pitiful.

Qin picked up the tea bowl, blew off the hot air and took a sip of tea, looking at Lin Dongya. Lin Dong Aya was absent-minded, she hadn't seen her for many years, she had long forgotten the appearance of the second brother in the capital, and felt that marrying anyone had nothing to do with her, so she only stared at the small bonsai on the window in a daze, and rubbed the palace silk on her skirt boredly.

Qin sighed again. The Wang family asked her to restrain Lin Dongya, and also gave some gifts, and she never stopped eating on weekdays. She also has the heart to teach, but Lin Dongya is used to being arrogant, and she has thorns all over her body. is not his own daughter, and the Qin family does not want to be a bad person.

As soon as she picked her eyes, she saw Xianglan standing quietly on the side, bowing her head and hanging her hands, looking respectful, looking quiet and docile, and she was satisfied in her heart. Secretly said: "Although the mind is too active, but the temperament of Sven has an advantage, not the foxy and flattering way of the thrush, nor is it as arrogant as Luan'er." She put down the tea bowl, her face as calm as water, and asked, "What did you say when you didn't come in?" It's so lively, Sister Aya, I'll listen to what you said. ”

Xianglan's heart couldn't help jumping. The Qin family directly pointed to Lin Dongya, obviously trying to catch his mistakes.

Lin Dongyan was worried that there was no chance to sue, so he came to his senses, glanced at Xianglan, and said to the Qin family: "I...... I don't dare to say. ”

Qin said: "Could it be that you said something confidential?" What else do you dare to say. ”

Lin Dongya sneered: "Of course I don't dare, how much is my face worth?" was bullied by a slave, suffered a little loss, and he admitted that he was unlucky, if he provoked the eldest brother's favor, the eldest brother would be annoyed, and then the elders would be unhappy. ”

As soon as the Qin family was about to speak, he saw Xianglan blessed with a blessing, and said: "It's all my fault, I didn't speak properly, and the third girl taught me a few words." ”

Qin Shi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Xianglan to admit her mistake unequivocally. Thinking that this Chen Xianglan is really smart, she heard it clearly outside the curtain just now, it was she who had the upper hand everywhere, so choked that Lin Dongya couldn't speak, and now she said "The third girl taught me a few words", but she understated Fang Cai's matter.

Lin Dongya snorted and said, "Teach you? I'm not that daring! People can say that now they are not the slaves of the Lin family! ”

The Qin family also scolded: "Now that the uncle has lifted you, I will also give you three points of face, but you have to know your identity, don't think that you are the master now, even the serious lady dares to contradict it, and put money in front of the real master!" ”

Lin Dongya's heart was happy, and she bent the corners of her mouth and said, "It's not!" Slave seeds, give some face and really shake! ”

This was said ugly, the maids and servants in the house all pouted secretly, and the Qin family also frowned slightly, and then went to see Xianglan, and saw that she was still supple, neither humble nor arrogant, and her face was as usual.

Qin asked again, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Xianglan bent her knees slightly and said, "Mrs. has taught a lesson." ”

Qin's heart is Dao, he can bend and stretch, and he really has a city government, not like a young ** child of this age, if he says two ugly words, he will either have a resentful face or a sad face. Only Lin Dongya spoke in the house repeatedly, she was not impatient, every word, neither lost her identity, but also returned the salute just right, even if she didn't agree with her, even if she won on the lips, she was inferior, unhurried, and accommodating forbearance is everyone's demeanor.

Qin retracted his gaze, and said in a soft voice: "In this world, individuals have their own living rules and rules, remember their identity, the young lady should be reserved and generous, the girl should be informed and docile, and keep their own duties, don't go wrong." People always have to have a face, and when they meet, chickens and geese fight into what system. ”

Lin Dongya consciously vented, her heart was happy, and she responded loudly. Lin Dongxiu stood up and was taught. Xianglan knew that the Qin clan was beating her, and she also bent her knees.

Qin said something on the side, and then sent Aya and Xiu to go, leaving Xianglan in the room. Qin took a sip of warm tea and asked Xianglan, "Did Uncle sleep well last night?" ”

Xianglan said: "Sleep well, get up early and go to practice boxing." ”

Qin Shi sighed and said: "Amitabha, who knew that there was such a bad thing last night, how could Brother Lou be surrounded by these bad things over the years. ”

When Xianglan heard this, she knew in her heart that the Qin family was going to stuff a new maid into Lin Jinlou's room. Sure enough, the Qin family ordered someone to call Zi Dai and said to Xianglan: "Zi Dai was taught in my room, I didn't promote her when I was young two years ago, and now there is a shortage of people in Brother Lou's room, Lian Xin is soft, Tinglan is too honest, and the book is dyed again, listen to Brother Lou'er's meaning, don't let her enter the Zhichun Pavilion to serve in the future, there is no one in this house." I have discussed it with the old lady in the morning, and there happened to be a Xue Ning in the old lady's room to call Brother Lou, I will send a Zidai here, and promote her to the second class, and the monthly case will come out of me every month in the future. ”

Xianglan looked up and saw that it was a plump girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, with small almond eyes and a small mouth, wearing a lotus-colored satin jacket, quite beautiful.

Seeing this beautiful girl, Xianglan also guessed Qin's intentions, but she was curious why she explained these things to herself. But I heard Qin say again: "Zidai is the daughter of Han's mother's ** nephew, the female celebrity is doing well, she has a gentle temperament, and there are some places where you have to learn more from her." ”

This is a naked slap in the face, and it is also a complaint that Xianglan Zidai is a relative of the servant woman who has a lot of face around her, and she clearly supports Zidai.

Mother Han looked sincerely frightened, and said to the Qin family with a smile: "Mrs. is joking, what does she know, she knows how to be naughty at this age, but I am afraid that I still have to serve Miss Xianglan well, and it is only serious to serve the master well." ”

Qin Shi waved his hand and said: "Zidai is something I have been watching for a few years, and everything I handed over has been done properly, what do I have to worry about the people you taught." ”

Zi Dai secretly glanced at Xianglan a few times, and saw that she was really beautiful and beautiful, and she was slightly jealous in her heart, and saw that she was dressed richly, and she wore a bright and dangling gold collar around her neck, and her heart was full of envy.

Xianglan raised her head, the two looked at each other, and Zi Dai hurriedly lowered her head. Xianglan Yuguang caught a glimpse of the Qin family looking at her intently, so she curtsied her knees and said: "The various cleverness that came out of the wife's room, and the wife felt sorry for the uncle, so she sent the best to the Zhichun Pavilion." "I didn't respond to Qin's words to let her learn more from Zidai, nor did I respond to Han's mother's words to let Zidai serve her.

Qin raised his eyebrows.

Mother Wu and Hongjian looked at each other, and Hongjian leaned down and said affectionately to the Qin family: "It's still Xianglan who can speak, Zidai is not the best girl we have here, and it is really a wronged wife to leave us with such a burnt roll to serve our wife!" It's just that Ming'er's wife's needlework is no longer able to do it, alas, I can't hide from the green her. ”

Qin Shi finally smiled faintly and said, "I'll just say that your needlework has benefited from it, it turned out that you were lazy and slippery, and you bullied Zidai!" ”

Mother Wu and Mother Han laughed happily. RS
