Chapter 24: Punish Steward Lin

Tang Heng returned to Broken Yuxuan and lashed out at Wen's family, accusing her of treating her concubine so harshly, without the slightest appearance of a housewife, Wen's tears wept, saying how difficult it was for her to support a family's internal affairs in the Xiangfu, how hard she worked, Tang Heng was soft-hearted, and after scolding, he ordered Wen's to replenish some Qiuyuan, and his face should not be too ugly, and then he threw up his sleeves and left, and went to Aunt Song's Orchid Garden.

Early the next morning, Tang Yanning had just finished breakfast and sat at the stone table in the courtyard to choose embroidery samples, when he saw Steward Lin leading four little maids and a few little maids to carry some new furniture and walked in.

Steward Lin is nearly fifty years old, he is an old man in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he is also Wen's right-hand man.

Steward Lin ordered someone to put the furniture away, twisted a handful of beard on his chin and said, "Third Miss, this is sent by the old slave at the order of the lady, take a look, are you still satisfied?" The tone was like charity.

Tang Yanning sat at the stone table in the courtyard, holding two embroidery patterns in his hand, comparing left and right, as if he was struggling with which one was good-looking, and turned a deaf ear to Steward Lin's words.

Steward Lin stood in the courtyard and waited for a while before seeing Tang Yanning reply, and repeated it aloud impatiently, secretly despising in his heart, a broken and uncared young lady, what kind of score did he pose.

Tang Yanning finally raised his head, raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm not satisfied, Steward Lin!" ”

Dissatisfied? If it weren't for the sudden grace of the master, where would she have seen this kind of good furniture on weekdays, eighty percent of them would not know the goods, so they would say that they were not satisfied.

Steward Lin's tone changed, and he casually pointed to a few pieces of furniture and said with a slight mockery: "I don't know what kind of satisfaction the young lady wants, this hollow carved jade screen, golden silk nanmu table, eight-treasure diamond pattern mirror, which one is not the best furniture, but it is not a mountain village goods, if the young lady does not know, you can ask the old slave." ”

even mocked her for not knowing the goods, hehe.

Shuang'er looked angry, took a step forward, and was about to argue, Tang Yanning raised his hand to stop, "These pieces of furniture introduced by Steward Lin are indeed good furniture, but they are just ...... When I say dissatisfied, I am dissatisfied with Steward Lin, not with things. ”

"Oh." Steward Lin's tail voice rose, and his tone was light: "Then I don't know where the old slave displeased the third lady?" ”

"I don't know when the rules of this prime minister's house are so loose, and a slave doesn't even have to bow when he sees his master? Why, is it wrong for me to say dissatisfied? Tang Yanning's eyes narrowed slightly, and his attitude was casual, "Steward Lin should make up the ceremony first, and then let's look at the furniture" It's just that it makes people feel a little imposing inexplicably.

Since Steward Lin followed the Wen family, except for Mrs. Xiangye in the mansion, he was simply under one person, above ten thousand people, and he couldn't help but feel a shock in his chest when he heard people say bluntly that he was a slave, and his face was full of anger.

Over the years, Steward Lin has been deeply relied on by the Wen family, and he seems to feel that he exists like a master, and now any subordinate in the Prime Minister's Mansion who dares to talk about him behind his back will suffer.

He is most taboo for others to say that he is a slave, and his comfortable life has made him forget his identity.

Steward Lin snorted: "The old slave is the lady's person, and there is only one master, the lady, but not any cat or dog can be called the master of the old slave."

Tang Yanning squinted: "So, my father is not your master anymore?" ”

"Of course Xiangye is!"

"What about the eldest sister?"

"Naturally, too! Why, do you still want to compare with the eldest lady? "Don't look at yourself, which point can be compared with the eldest lady!

"What? Am I not the daughter of Xiangye, and I am not worthy of being a master? ”

Tang Yanning's words were soft, his expression was casual, and he seemed to be a weak question, but his tone made people feel a little cold.

Steward Lin snorted coldly and said, "A mere concubine deserves to be compared with the eldest lady?" Call you Miss San really thinks that she is a young lady, don't think that Xiang Ye sent you something and you are a phoenix, I advise you to see the situation in front of you clearly, now the eldest lady is in charge, if you offend me, there will be no good fruit to eat in the future. ”

Steward Lin said this extremely conceitedly, thinking that he was a big butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even the aunts in the other garden had to respect him for three points, who dared to make such a blatant face to him, the concubine was the concubine, and he really thought that he was a princess if he gave some benefits, and even wanted him to salute her.

It's really unbelievable.

Tang Yanning was not annoyed when he heard this, glanced at the gate of the courtyard, reversed his previous aggressiveness, changed his expression of resignation, bowed his head and said: "What Steward Lin said is that I don't know the height of the sky, so I let Steward Lin salute, and I hope that Steward Lin will not be blamed, don't be embarrassed with me in the future!" ”

Seeing her expression, a little smugness flashed on Steward Lin's dry old face, in the end, she was a concubine who had never seen the world, and she was immediately defeated after being bluffed, and she lost her previous momentum.

snorted from his nose, and seemed to be very disdainful: "The third lady knows how to be measured, this prime minister's house, except for Mrs., everything is up to me." ”

After Steward Lin finished speaking, he squinted and looked at Tang Yanning, this third lady rarely came out on weekdays, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but now after a closer look, he found that she had a graceful posture and a beautiful face, not inferior to the eldest lady, and even a few more gorgeous than the eldest lady, he couldn't help but feel a little more lustful, he slowly approached Tang Yanning, "As long as ...... The third lady will be obedient in the future, and the old slave will not embarrass you. ”

After speaking, he sniffed deeply beside her and said, "It's so fragrant." ”

Steward Lin's sudden approach instantly made her stomach churn a little, disgusting, this Steward Lin has always been lustful, many maids in the house have been teased and bullied by him, and they dare not speak out on weekdays, but I didn't expect that the dog dared to tease her today.

Tang Yanning endured the nausea, pretended to be very scared, took a step back, and said, "Yan Ning doesn't dare to contradict Steward Lin anymore, and I hope Steward Lin won't care." ”

Seeing that Tang Yanning was so timid, Steward Lin became more and more bold, and a pair of colored eyes became more and more unbridled on her, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, as long as the young lady ......"

"Just what?"

Before Steward Lin finished speaking, he heard someone behind him answer, and just turned around and wanted to scold someone who was so uninteresting, but when he saw the expression of the person who came, he was instantly shocked!

"Phase...... Appearance...... Xiangye, why are you here? ”

Steward Lin hurriedly walked over and bent down to salute, changing his flattering expression, and then secretly gave a look to a small guy beside him.

"Why, I still need to report to you in this way?"

Tang Heng's voice was cold, mixed with anger, if it weren't for today's rest, there would be nothing to do, Aunt Song proposed to come over and take Yan Ning to the warehouse to pick up cloth, he couldn't see such a wonderful scene, just a subordinate, he dared to show off his strength to his daughter!

Tang Yanning is no longer favored after all, she is his daughter after all, if any subordinate can be bullied, wouldn't he not take him as a prime minister in his eyes at all.

Tang Heng was very angry!

After hearing this, Steward Lin only felt a little chill down his spine, and forced himself to calm down: "No...... No, Xiangye misunderstood, but he knew that you were a slave early so that he could go to the front to greet him, and he couldn't neglect you. ”

I don't know how much Xiangye listened to the conversation just now! If he had heard it, he would have suffered today.

"Slack? Hum...... If he hadn't come over suddenly, how could he see such a "majestic" side of Steward Lin, and he would have threatened and intimidated the third lady. ”

Tang Heng said that the voice behind him suddenly increased, which frightened Steward Lin's body trembling, knelt on the ground violently, kowtowed and said: "Xiangye, wronged, the old slave is wronged, where does the old slave dare to intimidate the third lady, it's just that the third miss is a little dissatisfied with the furniture, the old slave just explains!" If you don't believe me, ask Miss Three. ”

After speaking, Steward Lin glanced at Tang Yanning frantically and asked her to cooperate! Seeing Tang Yanning's timid appearance before, she definitely didn't dare to tell the truth.
