Chapter 40: Exploring Zhao's Mansion

Jiao Niang didn't know about it, Ye Wenzhou came to see her a little later, and brought her some gold and silver jewelry and the most fashionable fabrics, Jiao Niang didn't wear a few good clothes in ancient times, and she was happy when she saw the beautiful fabrics.

"Sister Ruyi, your fair-skinned lilac fabric is the most suitable for you, and it is best to wear a Luo skirt in spring." Jiao Niang sat on the bed and fiddled with a few pieces of fabric excitedly.

Lin Ruyi fetched water for Jiao Niang in the house and washed her face and smiled: "This is given to you by Uncle Ye, I can't ask for it." ”

"If you send me, it's mine, so what does it matter if I send you? And you must be beautiful in this color, ah, just when I give you a bundle, Sister Ruyi has time to teach me how to make clothes! Jiao Niang stubbornly handed the lilac fabric to Lin Ruyi, Lin Ru had a bad opinion and had to accept Jiao Niang's kindness.

At this time, Widow Lin opened the curtain and came in, brought a bowl of 9 medicines for Jiao Niang to drink slowly, and said to Lin Ruyi: "Ruyi, come here, my mother has something to say to you." ”

Bringing Lin Ruyi to the house, Widow Lin said: "Just go to Zhao Funiang, why do you have to wade into this troubled water?" I went to the kitchen, and I didn't necessarily meet those people, and even if I did, they wouldn't necessarily recognize me. ”

Lin Ruyi knew that Widow Lin was a motherly heart, and comforted her softly: "Mother, you also said that you were going to the kitchen of Zhao Yuanwaifu, and I would come back after chatting with the people in the kitchen, and besides, it was not a Longtan tiger's den." ”

"You, you, can I not know your mind? Not only for Jiao Niang, but also for Xin Ping, you want Ye Wenzhou to look up to you. Widow Lin patted her daughter's hand: "Listen to my mother's advice, the most important thing is Xin Ping's heart, don't care about other people's thoughts." ”

"I know, thank you, mother." Lin Ruyi leaned obediently next to Widow Lin, as if she had been doing it since she was a child.

Early the next morning, Lin Ruyi put on the clothes brought by Ye Wenzhou and pushed the dishes out with the arranged people, Xin Ping wanted to send it off, but Lin Ruyi shook her head and refused, there were many people on the way, and she didn't want to fall short.

Zhao Yuanwaifu was at the other end of the town, and after walking a stick of incense, Lin Ruyi was already tired and out of breath at the back door of Zhao's mansion.

The little guy who opened the door smiled and said, "How can this delicate woman Uncle Song be willing to let her pick vegetables?" ”

Uncle Song, who delivered the food, said with a smile: "This is my daughter, she used to be followed by her mother, but today her mother is sick, so she asked her to help." ”

Uncle Song and Lin Ruyi picked the dishes to the kitchen, and began to be busy washing vegetables and choosing vegetables, this is the rule of sending vegetables to large families, only when the mother in charge is satisfied, this errand can continue.

"Yo, Old Song, your girl is really good-looking. Bad bamboo shoots are good! The housekeeper came over and was surprised to see Lin Ruyi's appearance.

"Mama Yang said with a smile, didn't you say last time that there was something for me to help move? Tell my daughter to wash the vegetables here, and I'll help? Uncle Song wiped his wet hands on his body, and smiled flatteringly at Mama Yang.

Mama Yang nodded and turned her head to beckon to a girl in pink: "Pei'er came over to wash the vegetables." ”

After Mama Yang took Uncle Song away, the girl named Pei'er whispered to Lin Ruyi: "You are so good-looking, why are you washing vegetables?" ”

Lin Ruyi smiled shyly: "The girl praised it falsely, I can only do some chores as a girl from the countryside." ”

"That's not necessarily, the concubine of the third master in our house is from the village. It's not very good, and after being favored for a while, he was put aside. Pell pouted and said disdainfully.

"Oh? That's better than people like us who do rough work, and if you are a concubine in a big family like this, you must have fine clothes and food! Lin Ruyi said with envy.

"It's okay, it's better than a slave like us. She made it herself, ran to the third master's study to splash, and tore up a painting painted by the third master. The angry third master kicked her out of the yard......"

"Come out! Give me the steward! Now no one dares to play tricks on me, doesn't they? A bunch of dog stuff with high bottoms! Pei'er's words were interrupted by the sound of scolding, and the scolding person rushed past Lin Ruyi's side and rushed into the kitchen like a gust of wind.

Lin Ruyi glanced at it, and it was none other than Lin Caifeng who was almost startled, only to see that she was wearing a half-new old cotton coat, with her head scattered around the kitchen. Lin Ru didn't notice her, so she hid behind Pei'er and continued to watch.

In the kitchen, a woman who looked like a cook saw Lin Caifeng rummaging around, frowned and said, "What is Aunt Lin looking for?" Slaves and maidservants do the work for them. ”
