Chapter 120: Liu's Jealousy
Dong Yuzhen showed Mrs. Lin the things that Lin Zhu gave her, and said that Lin Zhu would send some watermelons over every ten days in the future. "I have long heard that the watermelons in Linjia Village are good, and Muyue Commercial Bank also sent some from there, but ......" Mrs. Lin's words did not continue, but Dong Yuzhen already understood that she must have sent most of them to Liu's. Mother, it's okay, when Sister Xiaozhu's watermelon is delivered, we won't let them taste a bite, and Mother can also do facial treatment with me, that's what Sister Xiaozhu said, don't you see that even Mother Zhao's face looks young? ”
Mrs. Lin patronized to see the changes in her daughter, but she didn't notice it. Hearing Dong Yuzhen's mention, she carefully looked at the changes in Zhao's mother, then looked at Shui Tao's face, and nodded lightly, "Yes, it seems that your faces have changed a lot." "The slaves and maids are all blessed by the eldest lady." Mother Zhao bowed and saluted. "If Madame doesn't dislike the crudeness of this practice, you can give it a try, Miss Zhu's watermelon is very different. The best watermelons in Linjia Village can't be compared with hers. The eldest lady drank a glass of watermelon juice every night and was refreshed the next morning. ”
"Yes, mother, you are also with me, and in less than ten days, I will keep your face white and red." Dong Yuzhen patted her chest and made Mrs. Lin laugh. "Okay, okay, just listen to our Zhen'er, if you can't do it, you won't be able to eat watermelon."
"Then I'm sure I'll be able to eat all-you-can-eat, I've experienced it myself." Dong Yuzhen raised her chin arrogantly.
After saying these words, Dong Yuzhen told Mrs. Lin about Zhou Dalang's door-to-door marriage, "He is such a big dog." Mrs. Lin sneered, "It's not that I did a few things for that side and got her blue eyes." Mrs. Lin rubbed the jade bracelet on her wrist with her hand, "Don't worry, it's okay, even if she knows the Tao, it won't be anything, and your father won't do anything to Xiaozhu girl." "Dong Jisheng can't afford to be messed with in Muyue Commercial Bank, Mrs. Lin returned to the capital during the Chinese New Year, and heard some rumors that the behind-the-scenes boss of Muyue Commercial Bank might be a royal mansion. Although there is no certainty. But it wasn't provoked by a small county order like Dong Jisheng. Of course, this cannot be said to Dong Yuzhen explicitly. Hearing Mrs. Lin say this, Dong Yuzhen was relieved, in her eyes, her mother's words had never been wrong.
Although Liu pretended to send a plate of watermelon that night, saying that Dong Yuzhen went to the countryside. I can't eat something so good. I sent it to her to taste. But the next day, I saw ten watermelons brought by someone. Liu was dumbfounded, and asked his subordinates to ask if the person sent it by mistake and should have sent it to her instead of Dong Yuzhen. Until the person who reported the news read it three or four times. After making sure that the person really sent it correctly, Liu was unwilling to get angry in the house.
Although there are many people in Linjia Village who have planted watermelons, compared to the market in short supply, there are still not many watermelons in Song County, and of course there are not too many in the county government. She saw that someone was sending watermelons to Dong Yuzhen, and she also heard that she would send ten every ten days, and she was already red-eyed. Originally, I wanted to ask Zhixian to get some money from Dong Yuzhen, and it was best to take it all. But Dong Jisheng couldn't open his mouth at Mrs. Lin at all, how could he do anything to rob his daughter? "Master, it's not good for her to eat too much watermelon as a child, is the concubine also for her sake?" Liu is tired of Dong Jisheng being coquettish. Liu just wants to compare with Mrs. Lin, although Mrs. Lin is not very favored by Dong Jisheng, but every time Liu sees her, she always feels inferior to her, even if she is now a flat wife, her children have become concubines, but she just wants to get along with Mrs. Lin, so they want to grab whatever they have.
"Okay, it's not shameful enough for you to let me be a father and go to my daughter's place to ask for food. Besides, the watermelons sent by Muyue Trading House are all here, be content. Dong Jisheng is no longer fond of the Liu family and the child she born, but Dong Yuzhen is also his daughter, although he often favors one over the other, he can't be too obvious. Liu had no choice but to do it.
"Hee-hee, mother, how's it going?" Dong Yuzhen didn't know that the Liu family wanted Dong Jisheng to take the watermelon away from her, even if she knew the way, she wouldn't let it. At this time, she and Mrs. Lin had just finished making a watermelon peel mask. "Well, after washing my face, I feel that my face is moisturized, but it is not as good as you say. However, this watermelon is really delicious, even better than the one sent by the Muyue Trading House. Mrs. Lin looked left and right in the mirror.
"Sister Xiaozhu doesn't have a watermelon field in the village, and her fields are planted with wolfberry trees. By the way, she also asked me to bring you a jar of wolfberry wine, saying that you should drink a small glass every night. Dong Yuzhen asked Shui Tao to fetch the wine.
"Goji wine?" Mrs. Lin became interested. "Show me it." Waiting for Shui Tao to bring the wine over, and poured another glass, Mrs. Lin saw that the color of the wolfberry sprinkled was pure, and the wine was fragrant, so she couldn't help but pick up the cup and take a small sip, "Well, this wine is really good." It's been a long time since I've drunk such authentic goji wine. Mrs. Lin put down the wine glass, her eyes were a little confused, and she couldn't help but recall the beginning, "When my mother was not married, I often watched my mother drink this wolfberry wine, I asked curiously at that time, she just smiled, but did not explain, and later saw that my sister was also drinking, and then I learned that women often eat wolfberries and often drink wolfberry wine, which can make people always keep their youth." Later, I also looked for some wolfberry wine, but none of them could compare to the taste of this wine. ”
Mrs. Lin put down her wine glass and sighed slightly, "Fortunately, my Zhen'er is luckier than my mother, and when I meet such a good sister, not only do I have a lot of good things in my hands, but I am also willing to share with you." Zhen'er, you must treat your little bamboo sister well. ”
"I know my mother," Dong Yuzhen nodded. "By the way, did my brother send him some watermelons, he definitely won't be able to eat them." Dong Wenbo has moved to the outer courtyard, although he is not always angry with the Liu family like them, but Dong Jisheng doesn't pay attention to him, so naturally he gets less good things. "I sent it over, and your brother also praised you for making a good sister, and he was wiped out." As soon as Mrs. Lin talked about her son, her face was bright, Dong Wenbo was very competitive, and he had always surpassed Dong Wenyuan and Dong Wenhao in academics. "And my mother, the watermelon chicken made by Sister Xiaozhu is also very delicious, and I also asked Zhao's mother to learn from it, how about making a taste tomorrow? Bring my dad over and eat with me. Dong Yuzhen happily proposed.
"Okay, you can do it, count it as a family banquet, and then you go and invite your father and your brother to come over." Mrs. Lin patted Dong Yuzhen's head and agreed with a smile. Dong Yuzhen happily returned to the house, and while walking, she told Shui Tao about the things to be prepared tomorrow.
"Madame, rest too." sent Dong Yuzhen away, and Mother Zhao also served Mrs. Lin to rest, "Mother Zhao, thanks to Wenbo and Zhen'er by my side, my life has not been in vain." Mrs. Lin said with emotion. Madame, where is this, the lord has only been confused and has not found out Madame's goodness, and when you look at it in a few days, he will definitely ask for your head. Madame's ability to run the house is not up to her, and she is only proud for a few days. Zhao's mother comforted her.
Dong Wenbo and Dong Wenyuan took the Xiucai exam together, because Dong Wenbo suddenly had a stomach upset that day and failed in the examination room, so Mrs. Lin was taken away by Dong Jisheng on the grounds that she was a housekeeper and neglected her son, and handed it over to the Liu family instead. Although Mrs. Lin suspected that the incident was done at the instigation of the Liu family, there was no evidence at all, and although she secretly hated it in her heart, she had nothing to lose. Seeing that after the housekeeper of the Liu family, he looked high-spirited, and Mrs. Lin did not confront him except to avoid it. At present, the government is under the control of the Liu family, and there are many loopholes, and without Mrs. Lin's help, the right of this housekeeper will have to return to her hands sooner or later.
In Zhang's Mansion in the capital, Dr. Zhang ate the watermelon brought by the housekeeper, remembering that when he was in Linjia Village, Lin Zhu sent him home with a smile, and sighed slightly in his heart, "I don't know how the bamboo girl is now?" "Don't worry, sir, with Miss Zhu's ability, she will definitely be very good." Didn't she write last time that she had built a new house? Steward Zhang comforted Dr. Zhang.
"Yes, that girl has always been kind to herself, and she eats and drinks well." Doctor Zhang smiled, "Now, thanks to her, I can eat this special watermelon at home." I heard that the Kizuki Trading House went crazy there? "I heard that since the watermelons of Muyue Commercial Bank went on the market, the high-grade watermelons have been in short supply, and the special watermelons have not been placed up at all, so they have been divided by several princes. I heard that King Qi took the most, mainly in the palace. Steward Zhang told Dr. Zhang what he had heard.
"Hehe, that's as it should be." Doctor Zhang smiled. "Master, the second master wants to take some watermelons from Zhuangzi and give them away, I don't know if I can ......," Steward Zhang said cautiously. Hmph, which minister's mansion do you want to send it to, Lin Shangshu's mansion can't send it, so let him find his way again? "As soon as Dr. Zhang mentions this second son, he won't fight anywhere.
"This little man doesn't know what to do." Steward Zhang shook his head.
"Don't care about him, just say what I said, no one can touch the watermelon in Zhuangzi, you can eat it, but you can't give it away." Mu Qiyue's Zhuangzi also produces special watermelons, and he doesn't want to expose them, and of course he can't attract attention here. "The same is true of the dishes in Zhuangzi, you can eat them at home, you can't send them out, and no one can say it."
Steward Zhang listened to Dr. Zhang's order and went out to do it.
Dr. Zhang was the only one left in the house, not knowing what to think. And after listening to Steward Zhang's words, Zhang Weize, the second master of the Zhang family, was very angry, and didn't understand why he didn't let him use such good things at home. Although the Zhuangzi is his father's private and not in the public, this is too unsatisfactory.
