Chapter 56: The Goddaughter

"Girl." Lin Yun sent Jia Min back, and when he sat back in the chair, a sense of depression rose from his heart a little bit. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand hard, and when she was about to say something, she opened her mouth, and found that it was useless to say anything.

Jin Shu saw that there was no one in the house, and when he was serving tea, he quietly whispered and persuaded: "Girl, don't worry about the affairs of the uncle and grandmother's house." "To be honest, there is an unmarried girl who manages the affairs of her brother and sister-in-law's house. I don't know what their girls think, they say that the eldest grandmother has only been in the door for three months, and she is in the newlywed period with the uncle, so it is normal to ignore others. It is the uncle and the grandmother who have been married for more than ten years, the uncle doesn't want others to serve, he is only willing to be with the grandmother, that is also the uncle and the grandmother have a good relationship, others only envy and praise, saying that the uncle is decent and does not love beauty, who can say that the uncle prefers the grandmother of the main house and snubs the little wife?

Lin Yun was sullen and didn't speak, she obviously didn't do anything wrong...... No, it's wrong, and I just know the gossip of the master, and I didn't clean it up as soon as possible. Otherwise, she is all for the good of the Lin family. Jia Min was also too domineering, grabbed the two mothers-in-law, and quietly sent a girl to tell her that she couldn't do it, she had to bring someone over with a big flaunt. Is this a mistake to show the people in the house that she is not a housekeeper enough? The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, she almost wanted to go to Mrs. Lin to complain, and when she was about to get up, she sat down again. The words that Jia Min said when she left just now were still echoing in her ears, that is, when she arrived at Mrs. Lin, she was also reasonable, Mrs. Lin was angry, and she would say that she had done a good job.

In the Hou Mansion, there are some things that cannot be hidden. It didn't take half a day, and the two mothers-in-law Weishenme in Zhilan Pavilion were beaten. It spread to everyone in the house. Mrs. Nature's Grove also knew.

She frowned and sent for her daughter to come over. "What's going on?" he asked. I heard in a trance that the mother-in-law in your yard was holding her mouth by your sister-in-law? ”

Lin Yun regretted it a little at this time, he didn't suppress the matter for the first time, just thinking about how he should guard against Jia Min in the future, how to make his brother realize her true face, and be less close to her.

"At that time, it was not a big deal. My sister-in-law said, I don't need to tell you. I'm afraid that you will be angry if you know. Lin Yun took the tea offered by the girl, first held it to Mrs. Lin, and then took her own one, and slowly said the matter, and finally said: "I have already dealt with those two mothers-in-law, just thinking about this gossip, no matter how much it is suppressed, it seems that it is indeed a matter." ”

When Mrs. Lin heard this, she hurriedly called the ladies in charge to come in. said with a calm face: "I have always been in a bad body, and the eldest girl is young and tender, and she is easily unwilling to get angry, so that she indulges you more and more." Now even the gossip of the master dares to go around. ”

The daughters-in-law in charge hurriedly said that they didn't dare, and said that the girl was capable and thought about everything. It made them a little lazy.

Mrs. Lin didn't bother to listen to their small words, and directly ordered: "Take that lot of mouths and tongues." Immediately hit the board and call for people to come and take it away. If I hear anyone talk about his master again. You don't have to do it anymore, just go home, and I'll choose someone again." ”

"Yes." The ladies in charge bowed their heads solemnly, answered honestly, and slowly retreated.

At this time, Mrs. Lin turned her head to look at her daughter, "You, ......" She patted her daughter and taught slowly: "In the end, you are young, and you have passed few things, you thought it was bad." In this house, there are dozens of people, and there are hundreds of people, and they talk to each other, but there is nothing. But the words of the lord's house could not be said by a single word. You know, if there is a broken mouth, it will be spread outside, and it will not be said whether what they say is true or not, and the people outside will naturally take it true when they see that it was said by someone in your house. If it's a good thing, it's just that, if it's something else, the family's reputation will be discredited. ”

"The people in your yard gossip about your sister-in-law were caught by your sister-in-law in front of you, and it should be disposed of. Afterwards, all the people should have shut up and not allowed them to talk about it again. You must know that it is your fault that you are in charge of the house, so that outsiders can listen to it, although you say that your sister-in-law is jealous and laughs at your brother for being afraid of his wife, will no one say anything about you? To put it mildly, this is because you are too young to suppress people, and to put it more seriously, this is your lack of ability, and you are competitive and competitive and occupy the housekeeping power, and let your subordinates slander your eldest sister-in-law. ”

Lin Yun really didn't expect that she was ashamed of what Mrs. Lin said, and said in a low voice: "Madam, I was wrong. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, you're still young, it's normal to make mistakes." After speaking, he called Lily, "I took the key, opened the warehouse, and took out the glass screen, the forging and jewelry sent by Jiangnan before, and the newly collected box of gems." ”

sent Qinglian again: "Go and invite the eldest grandmother to come over." ”

Qinglian answered and turned around.

"Ma'am?" Lin Yun bit her lip and screamed, she did something wrong, but she asked her wife to make up for her Jia Min.

Mrs. Lin patted her daughter's hand lovingly: "Your sister-in-law will come after a while, so haode will admit her mistake, and this matter will be revealed." It's just that in the future, ask your sister-in-law to take care of the board of directors with you. She used to see that her daughter-in-law was not pleasing to the eye, and she wanted to take care of one or two, so she insisted that her daughter take care of the house. Although it is not in accordance with the rules, after all, Jia Min has not worshiped his ancestors and has not been on the genealogy, so it is still reasonable. If this happened today, it will be bad to leave the daughter-in-law aside, and it will not be good for the daughter.

Jia Min came out of Zhilan Pavilion, with a smile on his jade face, his steps were brisk, and he should be in a good mood. Seeing that her grandmother was in a good mood, Bai Lan joked: "Grandma, the roses bloom when the slave maid looks at the garden, so it is better to ask someone to cut a few branches every morning to wear them." ”

Jia Min also had the idea of the flowers, but he wanted to use the flower dew by himself, so he returned to the room and asked Cuizhu, "Have you brought the retort bucket used to steam the flower dew?" ”

"Well, my wife gave me a lot," Cuizhu smiled.

"I went to find it, washed it clean, and then dried it in the shade, it was easy to use."

"Hey." Cuizhu turned around and went out, went to open the warehouse, and took things. When the girls of their family were at home, they loved to get these things, and when they got married, their wives added many things that the girls used to use at home to the dowry list. I'm afraid that after the girl gets married, she will think about it for a while. Don't make it when you want to use it.

Jia Min sat there and thought about it carefully, when he was at home. The process of self-steaming flower dew. The retort bucket is interesting, too. By the way, if this thing is made bigger, it will be used to distill the bar? Speaking of which, Yuquan and Huiquan seem to be distilled spirits.

Mo Ju said with a smile: "I should have steamed some flower dew while all the flowers were fresh now, but the ones we brought were almost used up." "In the past, Jia Min only used flower dew to mix water and drink. Now it is mostly used for moisturizing, and the amount used is naturally larger.

"Girl, if you steam the flower dew, the flowers in the garden are not enough? There is only one in our village that specializes in planting all kinds of flowers for the girls to use, so do you ask them to send some flowers every day? Cuizhu took three retort buckets in one go and sent them to the small kitchen, she came back to talk back to Jia Min, and just heard Mo Ju's words, so she asked with a smile.

Is there a single Zhuangzi planting flowers? Jia Min remembers when he read the account book. As if I had seen it, the Zhuangzi was at the foot of the mountain near the outskirts of Beijing, with nine hectares of land and two small hills. Plant all kinds of flowers. Tut-tut, no wonder everyone says that Sister Lin is richer than Sister Bao, it seems that she is still reliable. is for Jia Min's dowry. Sister Lin can't be short of money to spend.

"That being the case, let them bring the flowers every day. Just don't use much. Our small kitchen is limited in space, and we can't use so many flowers in a day. Jia Min said slowly. As for all kinds of flower sauces and so on, they only made them on the Zhuangzi and sent them. ”

Bai Lan interjected with a smile: "Girl, your rouge paste is running out, do you want them to send some by the way?" ”

"Rouge is also made by them?" Jia Min was stunned for a moment.

Cuizhu: "You forgot, you don't like to sell it in the shop outside, so my wife specially bought someone from Jiangnan, and bought Zhuangzi, specializing in rouge gouache for you to use." Later, they were dowryed. ”

Jia Min: "......" She really didn't think about it, speaking of which, Jia Min was really favored when she was in her mother's house, no wonder Mrs. Wang, who was a sister-in-law, couldn't get used to it and had opinions about her sister-in-law. If it were her, she would have an opinion. It seems that Jia Min, this girl, is still a bit lonely, her own things, and she doesn't like others to use them. Burst...... This is really similar to her, and she has a unique temperament.

was laughing with the girls, Mei Qing came in and replied: "Grandma, Sister Qinglian is here." ”

"Come in, please." Qinglian is a big girl newly brought up by Mrs. Lin, and there is a person named Hongrui with her, but Hongrui is more introverted than Qinglian, not as lively as her, most of the time in the room to do needlework, make all kinds of small things for Mrs. Lin, not big, to Qinglian more times. Jia Min secretly tasted that in the past two months, she had completely overpowered Lan Hui. Now Lan Hui is in the main courtyard, and she is almost like a passerby. She could probably guess that it was not far from when Mrs. Lin would dispose of her.

The little girl outside the house diligently opened the curtain for Qinglian, and Jia Min could still hear their crisp voice in the house: "Sister, grandma, please come in." ”

Qinglian is coming to Songfeng Courtyard for the second time, and the place where the uncle lives is more masculine than other places in the backyard. When I entered the house, I turned a screen with rosewood shelves, and saw where the big grandmother's personal girl, Lumei, stood to greet her. When I saw her, I smiled, "Sister is here, please come to the house, grandma is waiting for you." ”

Jia Min didn't sit in the west room where she usually sits, but sat on the chair under the window of the east room, sitting with a smile, and there was an open book on the desk at hand, obviously just read, and put it on the desk casually.

Qinglian stepped forward and saluted, "Hello, grandma." ”

"No need to be polite." Jia Min raised his hand with a smile and pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down." ”

Qinglian didn't know what was going on, in front of this big grandmother, she was always nervous, more relaxed than she didn't dare at all. She owed a debt and said with a smile: "Grandma, Mrs. please come over." ”

"Miss Lao Qinglian, wait, I'll change my clothes and go." Jia Min has always been very polite to the people in Mrs. Lin's courtyard, so polite that these people never dared to be rude in front of her. I haven't even enjoyed it, and I was quickly helped up halfway through the salute. At first, they still had some opinions, but after a long time, they got used to it.

"Grandma, is it a big girl...... Bai Lan asked in a worried whisper when she was waiting for Jia Min to change clothes, "...... with Mrs."

"It's fine." Changed into a moon white gauze shirt, a light purple moon silk skirt, and a white embroidered pink lotus armor, Jia Min looked in the mirror before getting up, and took off the two jasper-inlaid red treasure hairpins on his hair. Don't replace two white jade inlaid pearls, and pick a pink rose hairpin with two flowers on the sideburns. Only then did he nod with satisfaction and took the palace fan. Slowly went out.

On the way to the main courtyard, Qinglian has been deeply entangled, and the eldest grandmother didn't ask her what her wife had to ask her to come over, nor did she talk to her much, and walked leisurely in front. Shouldn't she take the initiative and tell her grandmother? Thinking about it again, no, grandma doesn't ask, how can she be so proactive? She doesn't show her value. It's just tangled all the way. The main courtyard is in sight.

Lan Hui greeted her, a shallow blessing, "Grandma is here." ”

Someone over there had already raised the curtain high, Jia Min turned his head and came in, first greeted Mrs. Lin, and then asked Lin Yun how he was okay before sitting down. Lan Hui came over with tea and served it to Jia Min with her own hands, provoking Mrs. Lin to glance at her lightly. Lan Hui's body trembled almost slightly, and she retreated honestly.

Mrs. Lin said secretly: This girl is in a hurry, so she has to prevent her from doing something, so it's better to send it away early. Calculate the time. In a little more than a month, the lord should come back.

"Sister-in-law, today's business. It's me who made my sister-in-law angry. In front of his wife. I can't accompany you, for the sake of my young age. Sister-in-law let me go this time. Lin Yun got up, bowed down to Jia Min's upright blessing, and said annoyance.

Jia Min hurriedly helped her up, pulled her to sit down beside her, and said with a smile: "I forgot what happened anywhere." ”

Before Lin Yun could say more, Mrs. Lin had already interjected: "It's good that this is the case, I only have this son and a daughter in my life, and if you are harmonious, I will be at ease." ”

Jia Min and Lin Yun hurriedly got up and lowered their heads at the same time.

Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "Sit down, Ruhai will go out in the morning, and he won't be able to come back at noon, so my daughter-in-law will eat here with me." He asked people to bring the things they found before, "This is some of the things that your uncle's family sent from Jiangnan before, although they are not much better, but they are not the same as those in the capital, but look fresh, you two have divided them, take them for your own use or reward." ”

Jia Min smiled and got up to thank him, sat down again, and accompanied Mrs. Lin with Lin Yun to laugh, after a while, the meal was over, stopped for a quarter of an hour, and after a cup of tea, the two got up and retired.

When he came out of the main courtyard, Lin Yun pulled Jia Min and walked forward, begging in a low voice: "Good sister-in-law, I was wrong today, don't take it to heart." ”

Jia Min saw that her face was flushed, thinking that she knew that she had made a mistake. I don't know how Mrs. Lin taught her, so she turned around all of a sudden. She smiled and patted Lin Yun's hand: "I said I forgot, what are you still mentioning it." ”

Lin Yun's mouth is also sweet, and she only recited her good sister-in-law countless times, which made Jia Min look at her with disgust, "I don't complain about my lord, my wife loves you, my mouth is as sweet as honey, and now I blame you." ”

Lin Yun pulled Jia Min and didn't let go, and only said, "I just finished eating, it's hot, and it's not comfortable to sleep, so let's talk and laugh together, and it's over." ”

Jia Min nodded indispensably, and was pulled by Lin Yun to Zhilan Pavilion.

The two looked at the flowers for a while, and then discussed the book again, and Lin Yun proposed, "Let's play chess." ”

"Okay." After more than two months of getting along, Jia Min also knows a little bit about this sister-in-law, she has read books, knows some piano, calligraphy and painting are okay, only chess and needlework are the best, and she is also quite conceited about these two.

When Qingshu heard this, he had already put the chess pieces on the table, and took out the glass chess pieces. Jia Min smiled: "Sister Zhibai first." ”

"It's me who is biased towards my sister-in-law." Lin Yun said with a smile, she was a little disapproving, her chess strength was even praised by her brother and father, several people played against each other, and she always won more often, which made Marquis Lin often joke that if Lin Yun was a man, he was afraid that he would be much stronger than Lin Ruhai. In her opinion, although Jia Min has a reputation as a talented woman, she may write better and read more poetry and books, but she is far worse than her in chess. Now she is still in charge of white first, it is really arrogant enough, look at how she wins.

At the beginning, Lin Yun was still a little casual, while falling, while laughing with Jia Min, and after each side fell more than ten sons, she became cautious, and the fall became slower and slower, often taking a step, she had to frown and ponder for a long time. On the contrary, Jia Min was very relaxed, and his expression did not show any solemnity. The fall is also fast, often after Lin Yun finishes walking, she will follow the fall, which seems to be done at will, but it makes Lin Yun more difficult, and the slower the fall.

After passing the middle game, Lin Yun admits defeat in frustration, "Sister-in-law is so powerful." ”

"It's just that I have more chess games on my back, and I just draw a scoop according to the gourd, and I don't deserve my sister's praise." Jia Min smiled lightly. Pick up the chess pieces one by one and put them back in the box, "Do you still want to play?" ”

"Of course." Lin Yun was a little unconvinced. thought that he had just underestimated the enemy for a while, so he fell into passivity.

One more round. In another game, when he conceded defeat for the fourth time, Lin Yun was so shocked that he wanted to cry, and it was really the woman who gave birth to Sister Lin of the Immortal Shu, which was really amazing.

Jia Min took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I've bothered my sister for so long, I should go back." "Hey, it's a pleasure to win, especially when you see someone lose. The depressed little face is even happier.

"When my sister-in-law has time, I will ask my sister-in-law to teach me." Lin Yun got up to see him off, and when she walked to the door, she said in a ghostly manner: "Sister-in-law, I shouldn't ask about you and your brother's affairs, but it's better to be generous as a wife." ”

Jia Min couldn't believe that these words came out of Lin Yun's mouth. If you look closely, she really means it. Nima. After this period of observation, she has determined that the eldest lady of the Lin family is indeed a traverser, and she must have seen Dream of Red Mansions. She had no intention of recognizing each other. But he didn't plan to be an enemy of her, he just wanted not to disturb each other and live quietly.

Today. As soon as Lin Yun said this, it really made her suspicious. Is this girl a modern person, or has it been a long time? I was also brainwashed by the set of three from four virtues.

As soon as Lin Yun spoke, she knew that she had made a mistake, but she really hoped that Jia Min would listen. She couldn't imagine what the fairy and jade sister Lin in the Red Mansion should look like before, but now looking at Sister Lin's future mother, even if she doesn't like the Jia family anymore, she has to admit that the young lady of the Guogong Mansion in front of her, Lin Ruhai's wife, is impeccable. Although reluctantly, it must be admitted that Jia Min is much stronger than her. From mother to daughter, what will Sister Lin grow into, she can already yujian.

She really doesn't want her talented and beautiful niece, because she is not as reliable as her brothers and sisters, Zuihou will end up with the same fate as in the book. Therefore, she wanted to persuade Jia Min that if she couldn't give birth, she should be more tolerant and let others give birth to children. Even if the time comes, the son will go to the mother, and Sister Lin will also rely on it.

Jia Min saw Lin Yun stubbornly looking at him, and smiled faintly, "Sister, I wrote it down." After speaking, Jia Min turned around and left with the girl.

She didn't write it down, and when Lin Yun got married, she saw if she could face her husband's little wife generously. Or, when the time comes, can she take the initiative to take a concubine for her husband virtuously? It's that she can really do it, and it's her own willingness, but she can't.

When he returned to Songfeng Courtyard, Jia Min still felt that his heart was blocked. What's wrong with this, obviously she was educated by modern society, she thinks that monogamy must be adhered to, but Lin Yun thinks that three wives and four concubines are nothing, and she has to be generous as a woman? Is it that she hasn't really dissolved into the ancient world, or is she too deep into the drama and doesn't even have herself?

When he was depressed, Lin Ruhai came back happily. He was obviously in a very good mood, and he was still humming a messy tune in his mouth, and when he saw Jia Min, he said: "Minghui, I have something new to tell you today, you wait for me to change my clothes and come out." After speaking, he directly dragged the clothes that the girls were holding in their hands, and turned to the back of the screen, and when he changed clothes, Jia Min could still hear that he was singing...... I still know the lyrics and songs," ...... Listen to the commander...... Sister-in-law Aqing......"

Burst...... It's all messy, and I'm not afraid of outsiders listening to it. Fortunately, when Lin Ruhai went to change clothes after turning into the screen, the girls withdrew with a smile, and there were only two of them in the room.

"What's so good about it that makes you happy like this?" When Jia Min saw her husband come out, she stepped forward to help him fasten the buttons and asked.

"Hey...... Hehe...... Haha......" Lin Ruhai laughed when he thought about it, and laughed like a second fool, so annoyed that Jia Min stretched out his hand and twisted it around his waist, and said angrily: "What are you laughing at, like a fool." ”

Lin Ruhai pulled his wife into his arms and hugged him, kept shaking, leaned down, and put his mouth close to his wife's ear, "That kid Mu Lin who wanted to beat me for a prostitute was repaired by his father to be 'golden', hahahaha......"

Jia Min: "......" He has seen the real thing, so is he gloating? (To be continued......)

PS: Hehe, I got up late again today, and I finished the code. That one...... There will be another chapter in a moment.
