Chapter 263: Lin Mansion Meets Slow Treatment
After Lin Zhu arrived at the house in the capital, he was a little confused about the invitation sent by the Lin family. looked at the person who sent the invitation suspiciously, "Is this a mistake, I don't know anyone from Shangshufu?" ”
"Girl, please rest assured, it was ordered by the third master of my family personally, and there will definitely be no mistake." The person who came was Lin Shurui's outer court manager, and naturally he also knew some inside information, including the fact that Old Man Lin lost his temper with Lin Shurui and the third lady Zhao because of the matter of Tianyou Temple.
"It's just to see your seventh young master, right?" To be honest, Lin Zhu is not mentally prepared to meet the people of the Lin family now, since she suspected that she had a relationship with the Lin family, she has been thinking about how to try her best to avoid intersecting with the Lin family.
"Don't hide it from the girl, since the seventh young master came back, he has been making a fuss, and he refuses to eat well, and he has lost a lot of weight in just three or two days, and I hope you can help persuade him." The steward's posture is very low.
"Okay then," he said so, if he didn't go, it was estimated that Lin Yuewei's temper would be to blame on her. It's just a comfort for any little child, it's not a big deal.
Lin Zhu did a lot of psychological construction for himself, telling himself to be calm when he arrived at the Lin family, and to be calm even when he arrived at the Lin family.
After sending someone to send the news of his trip to the Lin family to Wang Village, a day later, Lin Zhu went to Shangshu Mansion in the carriage arranged by the Lin family.
To say that the carriage of Shangshufu is magnificent, not only is the carriage luxurious, but there is not even a person who dares to stand in the way on this road, as long as you see the car of Shangshufu, you will give way immediately.
Lin Zhu sat in the carriage with Minglu. The Lin family was afraid that Lin Zhu would be inconvenient, so they specially sent a housekeeper's mother to pick her up, and said some rules of the Lin Mansion in the carriage, which was not so boring.
"Phew." When the carriage arrived at the Lin Mansion, the coachman stopped the horse, and when Lin Zhu and a few people came down, he drove the carriage to the back.
"Miss Lin, please come in." The housekeeper's mother raised her hand and pointed to the second gate of the Lin Mansion and said.
This gate has always been opened to welcome the old man Lin and several masters of the Lin Mansion, so usually the other people go through the second door.
Lin Zhu was still stained with Lin Yuewei's light to arrange it like this, otherwise he would have entered through the side door a long time ago.
"Miss Lin, please meet the old lady first." The housekeeper's mother nodded.
"Thank you Mama He for reminding me. And rightfully so. "Anyway, the status and seniority of the people are there. I had to go and see him anyway, so Lin Zhu was not embarrassed, and walked straight to Mrs. Lin's yard with Mother He.
I don't know if this Mother He went to Mrs. Lin's yard intentionally or unintentionally. It's not very close. However, she did not provide any means of transportation. Keep walking forward on your feet.
Lin Zhu doesn't care, he often walks in the fields, and Minglu often follows Lin Zhu. So the foot strength is also very good.
On the contrary, it was He's mother, who led the way, who walked for a long time, and the weather was a little hot, so a red tide appeared on her face, and her forehead was a little sweaty.
Although she lowered her head, she looked at Lin Zhu's reaction from time to time, but after walking for about a quarter of an hour, Lin Zhu still looked light and breezy, blushing, and there was no sweat on his forehead.
In this way, Mother He can be regarded as a knowledgeable person, and she lifted a stone and hit herself in the foot. Originally, I wanted to give Lin Zhu a jaw and let her go so far, and when she saw Mrs. Lin, she would look embarrassed and make a fool of herself in front of everyone in the Lin family.
didn't expect Lin Zhu to be fine, but he couldn't hold on.
Mrs. Lin's yard was really a little far from the gate, and Mother He was slightly panting when she walked, and she met a lot of people from the Lin family along the way, all of whom looked at her a little strangely.
Mother He was anxious and ashamed, so she walked faster. When they arrived at the gate of Mrs. Lin's courtyard, Mother He had no choice but to pat her chest with her hand to help her breathe.
"Girl, please wait a minute, let the slave and maid go and report it." Although Mother He gasped for breath, the red color on her face because of walking had not yet receded.
"Mother He, please." Lin Zhu raised his hand, and his eyes did not linger on Mother He's embarrassed appearance.
At this time, Mother He's throat was about to burst into flames, so she didn't care to see Lin Zhu's expression clearly, so she walked to the yard.
"Girl." Minglu pulled Lin Zhu's sleeve, looked in the direction of Mother He, and cried out dissatisfiedly.
"Don't worry, it's just a clown." Lin Zhu looked around, there was no place to rest at the entrance of the courtyard.
After walking for such a long time, if they stand for a while, even if they are healthy and walk often, they will really not be able to stand it under the June sun.
There is an acacia tree not far away, and its pink stamens are blooming. "Let's wait there for a while." The canopy of the acacia tree is large, so there is no problem in enjoying the shade underneath.
Lin Zhu walked over with Minglu.
The more Lin Zhu's face grew, the worse it became, and it was already time for a cup of tea, and Mother He, who went to report, still didn't come back.
It's also getting hotter. And for such a long time, there was no one who walked by, although from the moment she entered the door, Lin Zhu felt that this Mother He was deliberately embarrassing her, but she didn't want to, she actually did it so excessively. There must be someone behind her back, and it seems that her status is not low.
However, this is Shangshu Mansion, and it is not something that Lin Zhu can fight against as a common person, so Lin Zhu still chose not to move.
Lin Zhu stood there and felt that his legs were numb and he didn't feel anything, that Mother He was late, the clothes on her body had obviously changed, even her hair seemed to have been combed again, and she was also followed by Mother Qi, the steward of Tsing Yi that Lin Zhu had seen in Tianyou Temple that day.
Mother Qi's face was a little unhappy, and it was even worse when she found that Lin Zhu's master and servant were standing far away from the courtyard gate.
She walked up to Lin Zhu, "Miss Lin, the old lady has been waiting for a long time, please follow me in." The words were full of accusatory tones.
And Mother He, who was following her, secretly showed a triumphant smile.
Looking at Qi He and the others, Lin Zhu did not move. Still standing there silently.
"Miss Lin, what do you mean by this? Do you still want the old lady to invite you? Mother Qi was a little angry, and Mother He said a lot of bad things about Lin Zhu in her ear just now, she felt more and more that Lin Zhu was taking the opportunity to take the big and didn't understand the rules, so her tone became worse and worse.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Lin Zhu didn't move or speak, Minglu felt that something was wrong and looked at her with concern.
"Minglu, the road to Shangshu Mansion is too far. It took half an hour to report. My leg was numb. Lin Zhu ignored Qi's mother's questioning, and just looked at Minglu with some pity.
After all, Minglu was two years older than Lin Zhu, so it was okay for her to stand for so long, and when she heard about Lin Zhu's legs, she was numb. I don't care about the people next to me. Squatting down. Massage Lin Zhu with your hands.
"Girl, try it." Minglu said while gently helping Lin Zhu press his legs. didn't even glance at Qi He and the two of them who were standing aside.
"Miss Lin, what do you mean by this?" Mother Qi frowned, she saw that Lin Zhu didn't seem to be pretending, but because she was too squeamish, she stood up for a while, and she couldn't stand it, and put on a weak posture.
"Shangshu Mansion is high and powerful, I can't afford to climb high," Lin Zhu said while glancing at He's mother, "Minglu, let's go back." ”
Lin Zhu turned around and wanted to leave with Minglu, but her legs were a little blocked because of walking and standing for a long time, her legs were very stiff, and her walking posture was very weird.
Mother Qi has been by Mrs. Lin's side for so many years, and she is not an idle person, looking at Lin Zhu's state, and then looking at Mother He's weak expression around her, she understood the general situation in an instant. couldn't help glaring at Mother He with hatred, "Something that is not enough to achieve and more to lose." He scolded Mother He in a low voice.
"Miss Lin, it's me who didn't think about it. Thank you for your understanding. Of course, Mother Qi couldn't let Lin Zhu go like this, she hurriedly walked to Lin Zhu's side and held Lin Zhu's left arm with her hand.
Lin Zhu wanted to brush her hand away, but Qi's mother insisted on supporting her, "Miss Lin, don't worry, come with me indoors to rest first, the girl's legs need to be good in blood." ”
"Don't bother Mom." Minglu wanted to stop Qi's mother's movements, but she was outmatched by her strength. There was a moment of froze in the scene.
"What's going on?" A majestic voice came from the side.
Mother Qi and Mother He were both shocked, and when they looked up, they saw that it was actually the supreme leader of the Lin family, Old Man Lin. Qi bowed down and saluted, "See the master." ”
Without Qi's mother's support, Lin Zhu lost her balance for a while, and her body staggered, but fortunately, she was quick to catch her in time, so as to prevent her from making a fool of herself in front of others.
"Miss Lin, this is my master. Tobe Shoshu. Mother Qi quietly reminded Lin Zhu.
"The grass people have seen Lin Shangshulin." Lin Zhu stiffly saluted Old Man Lin, but his knees really couldn't bend over, so he could only bow halfway. The voice was a little hoarse, and it was really embarrassing.
"Get up." Old Man Lin couldn't see joy or anger on his face, but he was old and refined, so he naturally saw that the four people in front of him were not very friendly.
"You say, what's going on? Here it pulls and pulls into what a system. Old Man Lin pointed at his mother and asked her to get up and reply.
"Back to the master, it was this Lin Zhu girl who saved the seventh young master that day, and the third master sent someone to invite Miss Lin to meet the old lady." Mother Qi replied lightly.
"Really?" When Old Man Lin heard the word Lin Zhu, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Lin Zhu carefully. A very small little girl, not as tall as the average teenager, and relatively thin, dressed in azure cloud brocade clothes, but she looks very beautiful, but there is a stubborn expression on her face. His mouth pursed as if he was trying to endure something.
"Go ahead." Old Man Lin waved his hand. asked Qi's mother to help Lin Zhu and leave.
Lin Zhu didn't expect to meet the most powerful person in the Lin family, but her goal had been achieved, and the effect was better than expected, so she naturally followed Qi's mother away.
On the contrary, Mother He's frightened body kept shaking like chaff, and the cold sweat on her face also fell down in big drops. I almost didn't dare to look up at Old Man Lin. I can't wait for myself to become a transparent person and disappear in front of his eyes. Dodo Suo followed behind Mother Qi and Lin Zhu.
"Let's see what's going on?" When Old Man Lin saw them walking away, he immediately ordered the attendants behind him. Lin Zhu's appearance was obviously wrong, and Mother Qi and Mother He also seemed to be hiding something, which made Old Man Lin's face very bad.
Old Man Lin came over at this time, just to see Lin Zhu, but he didn't expect to see him in this situation. And after listening to the words of the attendant who inquired about the news, his face became more and more pale.
"Tell Madame about this, let her watch it." It seems that it was handed over to Mrs. Lin to do it, but in fact, it also shows his attitude, it seems that not only Mother He, but even the people who instructed her behind her back have nothing good to eat.
The reason why Old Man Lin was so angry was because, on the one hand, in his heart, he had already decided that Lin Zhu was his granddaughter, and on the other hand, he dared to blatantly calculate the people he ordered to invite, which was challenging his authority in the Lin family, and if it was not good, it was slapping him in the face.
If this matter spreads, the Lin family's face will be smeared again, which is the most unbearable for him. (To be continued......)
