Chapter 117: Coveting Your Silver
Lin Mei hurriedly changed the topic and said to him: "Okay, there is no one in the backyard, look at your nervous appearance." Let's tell you the truth, Xi'er and Peaches were dragged to go shopping by the second wife, saying that they were going to buy some rouge gouache, and they went out early this morning with Ruyi and the spring equinox, and I asked them to go to Yipinlou to eat at noon when they were tired of shopping, and they didn't have to rush back. ”
"Hey, when did they get on such a good relationship?" Shanzi wondered.
"It's not that my father has spoken, let them move around more if they have nothing to do, they are all a family, there is no need to act like enemies." As soon as Lin Mei's voice fell, this said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.
"Third sister, you wait for me." Xi'er's voice came from outside the door.
Lin Mei saw the two of them running in one after the other, and said strangely: "What's wrong with you two?" Usually you two are like one person, but now the sun is coming out of the west? ”
Peaches made a preemptive strike and said loudly: "Eldest sister, the second sister has changed her mind, she and the woman are in the same group, and they are not well-intentioned and covet your money." ”
Xi'er was not happy at this time, and said with a red face: "Who is in the same group as her, who is greedy for the eldest sister's silver, eldest sister, you can help me evaluate the theory." ”
Seeing that they were both angry, and it was estimated that they couldn't say clearly, Lin Mei directly clicked on Ruyi who came in behind and asked, "Ruyi, what happened?" ”
Ruyi is Zou Dexing's sister, formerly known as Zou Xiufang, fifteen years old this year, with a big round face, looks very honest, and the embroidery work is not bad, so she was arranged to take care of the two little sisters.
After saluting the master, Ruyi said: "Back to the eldest lady, go out today, all the way to Yanfang Pavilion, the second lady said that she wanted to go in to see, but the third lady wanted to go to the front of the satin village to choose fabrics, the second lady said that she was afraid of losing the third lady, and it was not easy to explain when she came back, so she said to the third lady in advance, first go to the silk village and then go to Yanfang Pavilion, and the second lady and the third lady also agreed. ”
When Ruyi said this, some worries stopped, and he glanced at his master Xi'er.
Lin Mei stared at her unhappily and shouted loudly: "What's the matter, in your eyes, only the second lady is your master?" Hmm~, don't hurry up and explain the ins and outs of the whole thing to me. ”
Suddenly, Ruyi seemed to have been poured a basin of ice water from her head, and it was cold from Tianling Gai'er to her heels, and she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Xi'er wiped a cold sweat for her, for fear that she would annoy her eldest sister and be kicked out by her eldest sister.
"Ruyi, you just say it, don't worry about my face." After Xi'er finished speaking, she turned her head and tugged at the handkerchief tightly.
Ruyi didn't dare not say it, and said: "We just entered the silk village, and we happened to meet Miss Xiao and Miss Zhang who were also choosing fabrics in the silk village. The second lady chose a piece of royal blue cloud brocade and wanted to make a robe for the eldest young master, but unexpectedly Miss Xiao took a fancy to it, but there was only half a horse left in the store. Because the piece of Yunjin was the first to be seen by the second lady, the shopkeeper was reasonable, so he asked the second lady to buy it first, but the second miss asked for the price of fifty taels of silver, so she didn't buy it and gave it to Miss Xiao's family, but the two young ladies got cheap and sold well, their attitude was very arrogant, and they were disrespectful, ridiculing the second miss for being poor and sour, and pretending to be Miss Everyone's buy Yunjin. The second lady didn't argue with them, just stood outside the door and waited. ”
When Shanzi heard that this was related to himself, he saluted Xi'er. "I didn't expect that Yunjin to be so expensive, don't just do it, big brother thanked you for your kindness first, and I made you feel wronged today."
Ruyi was interrupted by him, and when he finished speaking, he continued: "But this scene was seen by the second wife, the second lady not only did not comfort the second lady, but also asked the second lady how she had been in the Lin family for so many years, and she couldn't even take out fifty taels of silver, the second miss didn't pay attention to her at first, she kept pestering the second miss, and said that this other person's young lady has monthly silver, but the Lin family has no such rules, if you have monthly silver, you can buy whatever you want on weekdays, it will be as embarrassing as today, and it will be ridiculed." The second lady listened, but didn't pay attention. Later, after going to Yanfang Pavilion, the second lady chose a few rouge gouaches and spent thirty taels of silver, and the third lady felt that she bought too much, so she argued with her. ”
"What does that have to do with the second miss?" Shanzi asked puzzled
"The second wife said that she spent the master's money, and it had nothing to do with the third lady." Ruyi replied.
"It doesn't matter, this silver is not blown by the wind, it is all earned by the eldest sister's hard work, why does she have dozens of taels or dozens of taels of flowers as soon as she makes a move." Unconvinced, Momoko jumped up and said.
"You shut up, listen, and talk while you talk." Lin Mei didn't hear what Ruyi said, she felt that her head was big, it was only a month, and she began to make trouble, if it was a few years later, she didn't know what it would become.
"Ruyi, you go on."
The second lady said that she spent the master's money, and it had nothing to do with the third lady, and the third lady argued with the second lady. The second lady stepped forward to persuade her, and the second lady took out the matter of the monthly silver, and the third lady said that the second lady was not kind, and she was greedy for the Lin family's silver when she married into the Lin family, and the second lady was also angry, and pulled the second lady to let her comment, and asked the second lady if our family should issue the monthly silver, and the second lady said that our family should indeed issue the monthly silver, and the third lady was angry, and ran back all the way, and I and the second lady chased after me. After Ruyi finished speaking, he didn't forget to pick up the spring equinox.
Now Lin Mei finally roughly understood why her sisters were in trouble.
"Okay, Shanzi, go and get busy with you, this matter is coming for me, you'd better not interfere." After Lin Mei finished speaking, she said to her two younger sisters: "You two go to Furong Hall with me and wait for your father to come back." ”
Momoko glanced at Xi'er, snorted, and followed the eldest sister, leaving Xi'er to follow with a bitter little face.
After a pillar of incense, Zhou Ximei is back, but with her is Daddy Lin.
"Look at your two sisters as a unit, the girl's family, don't learn to be gentle and virtuous, respect the elders, and still quarrel with your mother on the street, the Lin family's face has made them both embarrassed." Daddy Lin had a tense face, and as soon as he got home, he reprimanded the peach sisters.
You don't have to think about it to know that Zhou Ximei made a preemptive strike and went to Daddy Lin to complain.
Peaches has never been trained by Daddy Lin like today since she was a child, and suddenly tears rolled in her eyes, and she pouted angrily, saying, "Daddy is eccentric, you are towards that woman." ”
"What that woman, this woman, that's your mother, I read and read on weekdays, so why don't you go and apologize to your mother." Seeing that she was still unrepentant in front of her, Daddy Lin suddenly felt that what Ximei said was right, this child has been spoiled since he was a child, and he doesn't even know the minimum politeness.
Peaches are like powder kegs, they explode at one point, "She's not my mother, my mother died a long time ago." ”
After finishing speaking, she ran out, Zhou Ximei happened to be standing by the door, stopped her with a hug, glanced at Father Lin, and said, "If you don't call, don't call, she's still a child." ”
"You don't need to cry rats and fake mercy." Momoko pushed hard and ran away after saying that.
Zhou Ximei was pushed by her, and fell to the ground and sat down.
"Ouch, ouch," he called.
