"You, are you going to give it to Old Madam Yin?" Lan Xue was a little puzzled.

"Reluctant?" Lin Mu'er smiled and shook her head: "Old Madam Yin sent so many good things, we have to send some that we can handle!" I see, this is just right, I use it too thick, and the old man can use it, which is the best! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lan Xue couldn't help but nodded, "Slave maid, go find the box!" ”

"Wait!" Lin Mu'er stopped Lan Xue, who was about to go out, and picked up the list of rewards she had just made from the table: "Come and take a look, is it okay?" ”

Lan Xue took it with both hands, looked at it carefully, and after a while, she frowned and pointed to the Zhuangzi on the paper and asked, "Why do these Zhuangzi also want to be rewarded?" "Most of these Zhuangzi are Zhuangzi who are greedy for ink, and they have handed in a lot of silver.

"People have paid the money, but they don't know if I'm satisfied with the money or not? I'm afraid we'll have to settle accounts with him again! Now, I have rewarded him, firstly, to tell him that the master is satisfied, and he is not to blame for the past, so that he can rest assured; Second, it is also to let him manage well, manage it well, and the master will still be rewarded. There is not much silver, just ten taels, just be the master, I will buy people's hearts! Lin Mu'er paced, and saw that Lan Xue was not surprised by her crooked handwriting, so she explained carefully with confidence.

Lan Xue nodded, slowly stretched her brows, and said in her heart: It's still thoughtful to the master!

"There are also Xia stewards, these honest Zhuangzi, they must be rewarded, if they are not rewarded, they will definitely fall into the mouth, and it will be difficult to convince the public! However, Liu Laohan's hot spring village was not completed, and if it was a generous reward, it would not be appropriate, and a reward of twenty taels would be enough for their family's expenses! Wealth does not show wealth, remember, let people quietly send the silver over, that place is remote, such a sum of silver, don't make people worry about it! Lin Mu'er frowned and admonished uneasily.

"Yes! The master doesn't reward Liu Laohan well, are you not at ease! Lan Xue's heart was sour, a warm current stirred in her heart, the master really thought about everything!

Lin Mu'er smiled: "Such an honest man, he even has to send three taels of silver, don't help him think about it more!" Nothing else, follow this reward! Also, those four Zhuangzi have just changed their stewards, and everything has to start again, and if there is any difficulty with the silver, as long as it is reasonable, let them come and tell me. If the tenants want to leave, let them go, and if they don't leave, they can stay, don't force them! ”

"Yes, the slave has written it down!" Lan Xue nodded and went out with the list.

Mother Xie, who was sorting out the cage on the side, was full of relief, although the master sometimes had to be ruthless, but it was all for self-preservation, and now, everything is slowly on the right track, the master is still the little girl who grew up watching from a young age, still so kind, so thinking about others everywhere!

How could Lin Mu'er, who was practicing calligraphy with a sad face in front of the desk, know that Mother Xie was thinking about this! This will only feel that his hands are so disobedient, and he obviously wants to write well, but the words written are still miserable!

I didn't practice for long,

Qingcheng came over to set up dinner, with an excited face: "Master, come and take a look!" It's all new today! ”

Lin Mu'er cleaned her hands, sat down, and looked at the various dishes on the table, Lin Mu'er was also a little curious: "These are all dishes made of chrysanthemums?" 【~¥Aiqi Literature ...... Free to read]

"But no, you see, this is fried chrysanthemums, chrysanthemum soup, chrysanthemum fish, chrysanthemum cakes, this is chrysanthemum dumplings, and assorted chrysanthemum cauliflower! The whole lady said that she also made some chrysanthemum wine, but it will take some time to take it out and drink it! The green orange reported the name of the dish like a few treasures, and his face was admired.

"Oh? All big ladies? "Lin Mu'er was a little surprised, it's her again! Sandwiched a chrysanthemum dumpling, hmm! It's delicious, and there is a hint of chrysanthemum fragrance lingering in the mouth!

"Yes! Didn't Sister Lan Xue say that our garden was placed by her! I heard that she came from Kunchuan, where flowers are available all year round, so people over there like to use flowers for food! Qingcheng didn't know where to hear it, and said it all in one go, "Master, you said, if you eat this flower, will you be full of floral fragrance and become a flower fairy!" ”

"Poof... cough cough cough..."Lin Mu'er, who was drinking soup, was amused by Qingcheng's words and choked on it.

"Master, slow down!" Mother Xie hurriedly patted her back and glared at Qingcheng: "Eat without saying anything!" Just talk a lot! ”

"I—" Qingcheng smiled as well, twisting his veil in annoyance.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Fortunately, Lin Mu'er was not in a hurry to eat, so she coughed a few times, and said with a smile: "I will reward you with all these in a while, and then let the whole lady cook a few other flower dishes for you, and see if we can become a flower fairy after eating green oranges, so that we can also open our eyes!" ”

"Master...", Qingcheng blushed when he said it, lowered his head and smiled.

Seeing Qingcheng's face blushing, Lin Mu'er stopped teasing her, and tasted it carefully, although some taverns occasionally make this flower, but in the end, it is winter, flowers are a rare object, and it is really a bit of a luxury to use it for cooking.

"Well, that's good!" Lin Mu'er put down her chopsticks, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth and praised sincerely, "Occasionally eating like this, I really feel delicious!" This big lady is really a wonderful person! ”

"But no, the slave maid is in the kitchen today, just listening to the whole lady say the name of the dish, oops, I think it must be delicious!" Qingcheng cleaned up neatly and said at the same time.

"You, if you eat it again, you won't be able to control your stomach, see how you find your in-laws in the future!" Mother Xie unceremoniously nodded Qingcheng's belly, half-jokingly and half-threatening.

"Then don't look for it, slave maid, just follow the master for a lifetime!" Qingcheng turned his head and looked at Lin Mu'er: "Master, do you say it's okay?" ”

Lin Mu'er glanced at Mother Xie, lowered her head and said with a smile: "It's good, I'm afraid that you will cry and beg me to give you a marriage match!" ”

"No!" Qingcheng swore and promised: "The slave and maid just want to guard the master, so they don't want to wash and cook for those stinky men!" ”

"Yo, look! Our young orange girl is not small! "Cyan

Orange's disgusted look made Xie's mother laugh, and pointed to Qingcheng and quipped: "Don't worry, when the time comes, the master will definitely find you a small family property, you, you can be the wife of the main house with peace of mind, you don't have to do these chores!" ”

Qingcheng was a little annoyed when he heard this, and stomped his feet: "Mom, I didn't mean that!" I..."

"Okay, okay, you can divide these things! It's time to get cold in a while! Lin Mu'er interrupted them. Pointing to the food on the table that had not been touched much: "It's a pity to lose these things, it's rare to eat them once, so you can divide them!" ”

"Yes!" Qingcheng pursed her lips and nodded, she was still annoyed by what Mother Xie had just said, and her mood was not high, so she went down after serving the meal.

Watching Qingcheng walk away, Lin Mu'er sighed: "Qingcheng is still young, I'm afraid my mother's words are a little heavy." "Indeed, Mother Xie's words have some knocking meanings, and she almost said that Qingcheng hates the poor and loves the rich!

Mother Xie shook her head and said seriously: "It's because she's young, the slave maid has to mention something, she grew up with you, and she is used to living a hard life, but now she is suddenly dressed in gorgeous clothes, and she is no longer looked down upon, and she will inevitably become arrogant." But our Jin Wangfu is no better than other high-ranking mansions, that is, they only rely on the protection of the emperor to live, don't talk about her, even the master, aren't you also thinking about it? Mother Xie sighed: "The days are long, it would be best if she didn't mean this, if she was really arrogant, she could also give her a wake-up call!" ”

Lin Mu'er pondered for a moment and nodded: "What Mom said is that I was negligent!" ”

"You, what kind of negligence, you're just too used to them!" Mother Xie's tone was a little disapproving and complaining.

Lin Mu'er smiled: "Yes! Mom is right, tomorrow I will ask Lan Xue to buy some rattan back, if they are so hippie and smiling again, you will whip them hard, you say, okay? ”

Hearing this, Mother Xie knew that Lin Mu'er was joking, and she was really angry and funny: "I don't deserve to be this bad person, you are the master, so naturally you have to smoke it yourself!" ”

"Good, good! Look, you don't listen to me, and let me smoke it myself! Lin Mu'er pretended to have a bitter face and complained.

Mother Xie held back a smile, helped Lin Mu'er break up her hair, and continued: "That's different, you are the master, naturally you have to have the master's style!" You! Mother Xie sighed and gently helped Lin Mu'er comb her hair: "In the past, when you were not out of the pavilion, you were a young lady and a coquette, even if you had a bad time, you only need to have a reputation as a gentle and virtuous lady." But now it's different, you are the princess of the Jin Palace, and you are the head of the palace, so you naturally have to have the style of the housewife! Your generosity is the blessing of our slaves, but you also have to show the momentum to suppress them, and you have to guard against slaves and bullying the master! ”

Lin Mu'er looked at Mother Xie with a serious face in the bronze mirror, Mother Xie's expression was calm, as if she was teaching her own children, Lin Mu'er was a little moved: "What Mother said is, it's just that the green, orange, red and apricot are always different from other minions." ”

Mother Xie smiled: "What's so unusual?" are all minions,

All the decency is also given by the master, even if there is a friendship that grows up together, it is a slave in the final analysis, and the slave should be to share the worries and solve problems for the master, even if he gives up his life, it is also made! ”

"Mom!" Lin Mu'er saw that what Mother Xie said was a little too much, so she hurriedly stopped her.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, when people get old, there will be more words!" Mother Xie also changed the topic in a timely manner, put away the comb, and asked, "Will the master sleep here?" ”

Taking a nap at noon every day has become Lin Mu'er's habit, Lin Mu'er shook his head: "Don't worry, just finished eating, bring me those books, I don't have time to read them these days, watch for a while and then sleep." ”

"Good!" Mother Xie took two books according to her words, because Lin Mu'er didn't like others to be on the side when she was sleeping, Mother Xie waited for Lin Mu'er to lean on the bed before going out.

The room was quiet, the open books were spread on her knees, but Lin Mu'er was wandering and didn't know where to go...
