Chapter 390: Reducing Swelling and Relieving Pain
Lin Jiafu, who did not continue to grind his teeth with his second child, just responded to the other party lightly, but he left his family in his hometown to take care of his parents. Lin Jiagui, who sneered at this, didn't think that his eldest brother was so ambitious, but decided that he left his wife and children in Guixi County all to facilitate him to eat, drink and have fun in the capital.
I thought like this in my heart, but I couldn't say it, after all, Li Wenxuan had already greeted politely. Lin Jiagui, who is not so stupid as to hear words, believes that Li Wenxuan's mouth wants the two brothers to give him face, which is not to discuss with them, but a tactful order. He didn't stir up trouble again, and the confrontation with his eldest brother was to the point.
Lin Ruoxi arranged for a little maid to go to the kitchen to spread the word, and on the other hand, she asked her slave to clean up the messy things in the living room. Under her guidance, Li Wenxuan held Li Tianyou and his two brothers in both hands, moved to the side hall and sat down, tasted tea, and chatted about some short gossip among parents by the way.
Li Wenxuan's feelings for the Lin family are complicated. There is no doubt that he loves Lin Ruoxi, and even more than he loves Zhao Tian'er. However, other than that, he was completely different from the rest of the Lin family. Then boil down love and hate to two words, interests. He has gained a lot of tangible benefits from the Lin family, which has given him the confidence to stretch out his hands to squeeze ordinary people at all. Therefore, it directly caused a kind of people from poor families outside the mansion to try to enter the Li Mansion, and the slaves and maids in the mansion were reluctant to go out.
Today, all the slaves and maids up and down the Lanxin Pavilion are tired enough. The 5,000 taels of gold sent in by Lin Jiafu weighed more than 300 catties according to the measurement method that sixteen taels were equal to one catty. Although there are sixteen large and small maids in the Lanxin Pavilion, they have come in. I haven't done any heavy physical work. Even if the category of things they are asked to carry belongs to gold, it is not good to toss everyone.
First went to his own lady's boudoir and put the silver ticket of 5,000 taels in Lu'er, and led Zijuan and other six people, up and down the ground many times, before putting all the gold in the box downstairs into the iron box in the treasure pavilion upstairs. I counted it three times and didn't find any wrong amounts. Only then did he put the locks on the boxes one by one, closed the door of the Treasure Pavilion on the second floor, and then led them downstairs together, after all, the slaves and maids who were qualified to go up to the second floor could only be Lu'er, Ziyan and Zijuan.
If it weren't for the heavy loads to be carried today, the four third-class maids would not be qualified to go up. They can be regarded as further opening their eyes and seeing a lot of good things, and they undoubtedly believe that their common mother, Lin Ruoxi, is very rich. As for the four of them, under normal circumstances, they could only enter the range of the first floor of the main house at will. A slave who crosses her range of action without permission. can be treated as a thief, and there is no complaint if he is killed. Similarly, the fourth-class maids in the courtyard could not enter the first floor of the main house without permission, but could only wait outside. The fifth-class maid at the bottom of the list is basically doing some miscellaneous work.
Lu'er, who walked to her own young lady's side, replied without the slightest difficulty: "Miss, everything has been put in place." The numbers are all right, and none of them are bad. Some of the maids' shoulders. On the hands, there is either more redness and swelling, or some skin is rubbed off. Today, Zijuan and the others are indeed tired enough, so I asked Miss if you want to add an extra dish to them at night? ”
I feel that today is also a good day for Lin Ruoxi to reunite with her mother's family. Without thinking about it, he blurted out: "Since this is the case, then I will reward them with a little silver to reduce swelling and relieve pain." One, three, five. Eight, ten. Lu'er, who understood the meaning of the number concept in her last sentence, made a standard blessing ceremony and said, "The slave and maid have thanked the young lady for the reward on behalf of all of them." I don't know how many of the two maidservants sent by the eldest young master of Lu Dao are? ”
"The big and small doubles are listed as the fourth class in our courtyard!" Lin Ruoxi, who accepted this gift, told her simply and clearly.
Lu'er, who said goodbye, knows very well what she should do next. That is to let everyone know the good news at the same time, and then the reward money will be distributed, so as to reduce swelling and relieve pain as the young lady said. As for the one, three, five, eight, and ten in the mouth of her own lady, it means that the fifth-class maid will be rewarded with one tael, the fourth-class maid will be rewarded with three taels, the third-class maid will be rewarded with five taels of silver, the fourth-class maid will be rewarded with eight taels of silver, and the first-class maid will be rewarded with ten taels of silver.
This is another reward for the whole courtyard in the Lanxin Pavilion. As soon as Lu'er announced this good news, everyone congratulated each other with a smile on their faces, and thanked the mistress for her reward again and again. The happiest among them were the maids who had just been assigned to Lanxin Pavilion. It didn't take long for the news that all the slaves and maids in the Lanxin Pavilion had been rewarded, and it had already spread to the whole house. At the same time that some people are envious and jealous, then there are people who are sad.
A quarter of an hour later, a large round table was set up in the middle of the drawing-room, and five chairs were placed around it. When eight cold dishes were placed on the table, and the hot dishes were served one after another, Lu'er, who had already given out the reward money, walked into the side hall again and invited them to sit down.
Li Wenxuan, who has been playing with his son for a long time, has been holding him and has never let him leave him. He stood up with Li Tianyou in his arms, and said concisely: "It's time to eat." With that, he took the first step towards the main hall. I have no politeness and hypocritical humility. As the head of the family, he sat on the main seat with his ass, and put Li Tianyou on the chair on his left hand before returning to the position that belonged to him and sat down.
Lin Ruoxi was supported by Lu'er's hands, holding up her belly that was getting bigger and bigger, and walked out slowly with her two brothers. She was not in a hurry to sit down, and greeted politely: "Two brothers, please take a seat." The two brothers of the Lin family knew very well where they should be sitting, so they naturally sat in the direction of the lower head, and left the position on Li Wenxuan's right hand to their little sister as a matter of course.
Seeing that they were all seated, Lu'er arranged for the waiter on the one hand, Si Qi stood behind the Lin brothers and poured wine for their respective cups, and arranged Zijuan on the other hand, and Ziyan poured wine for his master and young lady respectively. (To be continued......)
