Chapter 103: Elegance and Vulgarity
"Send these to Brother Liu'er's yard." Mrs. Lin said with a smile: "He didn't do anything, he just said a word, he can't afford such a big gift from the eldest princess, and Master Lao will go on this trip." ”
The long history of the Eldest Princess of Qiyang's Mansion smiled: "Mrs. Lin is polite, the second son's words are golden and jade, and the second prince and the little marquis have a fate, and the little marquis still waits for his body to be well conditioned and invites the second prince to come over the mansion." ”
"That's a coincidence." The smile on Mrs. Lin's face remained unchanged: "Today, he went out of the mansion to participate in the poetry meeting, and I asked him to go to the eldest princess's mansion to thank him in person." I heard that the little marquis is still a little unwell, so I asked people to prepare some supplements, and I hope that the adults will hand them over to the eldest princess, which can be regarded as a little bit of our heart. "It's a return gift.
Changshi didn't refuse, he couldn't be the master of this kind of thing, and looking at the attitude of the eldest princess towards the second son of the Lin family before, this family still has blessings behind" Mrs. Lin was polite. ”
The two said a few more polite words, and Mrs. Lin asked Mama Bai to prepare a return gift before sending Changshi away.
When I turned around and went back to the house, I saw a large pile of thank-you gifts from the eldest princess of Qiyang on the table.
"Madam, these ......" Mama Bai wanted to speak and stopped, these things are indeed good, but the relationship between Mrs. Lin and Lin Liu, I'm afraid that no matter how good the things are, Mrs. Lin will not use them.
"Take it down and let it be inspected, and if there is no problem, put it in the warehouse and put it up separately." Mrs. Lin said with a calm face, she really didn't expect that just a flower banquet would allow Lin Liu, a concubine, to take the opportunity to pick up the thigh of the eldest princess of Qiyang.
To be honest, even if Mrs. Lin is measured by the standard of an ancient wife, except for not giving Master Lin a few more sons, Mrs. Lin is qualified in any aspect. Especially when it comes to concubines, anyone has to say a word of generosity, even Lin Liu and Aunt Gu can't afford to resent Mrs. Lin.
However, Mrs. Lin has her own careful thoughts in her heart, even if she just treats Lin Liu with Lin Ruhai's example, she is naturally still the weight of her own son Lin Ruhai in her heart. treated Lin Liu well before, firstly, the Lin family's heirs were weak, if she did it too conspicuously, it would be better to train a helper for Lin Ruhai than that, and secondly, because Aunt Gu's status was too low, even if Lin Liu was excellent, it would not threaten Mrs. Lin's status at all.
Even if he rebelled and succeeded in becoming the emperor, according to the rules of this era, he had to respect Mrs. Lin as the queen mother first, and then he could respect Aunt Gu as the queen mother.
That's how the times rule.
Just like this time, it was obviously Lin Liu who saved Qin Liu, and it had nothing to do with the rest of the Lin family.
But when the eldest princess of Qiyang gave the gift, it was divided into two parts, the big head was given to Mrs. Lin, or the Lin family, and the small head was given to Lin Liu.
If it was the other way around, or only for Lin Liu, not only would Lin Liu's life in the Lin family be very difficult, but the eldest princess of Qiyang would also be ridiculed for not knowing the rules.
This is the case in this era, where the importance of the heir is less than the other.
Even if Lin Liu picked up the eldest princess of Qiyang, he would not be able to surpass Lin Ruhai for a while, and it was impossible to threaten Mrs. Lin's status. But as long as she thought of this, when she thought that Lin Liu had come into contact with the top figures in this society one step ahead of Lin Ruhai and gained their favor, Mrs. Lin was still very unhappy, of course, this unhappiness was not enough for her to deal with Lin Liu, but unhappy is unhappy.
"Yes!" Mama Bai answered, and then waved her hand to let a few maids waiting on the side step forward and take down the things.
These things did not go into Mrs. Lin's private treasury, but into the Lin family's public account.
"When the master comes back later, Mama remembers to remind me, I have to tell the master about this, let the treasury prepare things, Brother Liu saved the life of the little marquis, it is also a great thing for our Lin family, and we must be rewarded." Mrs. Lin said lightly.
